DECLASSIFIED: Human Experimentation

2013-03-15T23:31:59.008Z

By and large, the United States has escaped the accusation of war crimes having led the world to victory in two global battles. But, there are many dark chapters in the nation’s past and this video intends to reveal the real facts of Human Experimentation in the US. In 1996, secret U.S. military operations were discovered that presents a very different picture of national policy. Experiments with biological weapons and the testing of chemical warfare were only part of the story. In this video you will see and listen to those that took part in these secret Human Experimentation recount their projects in chilling detail.

Abby Martin takes a look at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in California, the nuclear testing that occurs at this site and the surrounding community's unawareness of the potential danger it poses.

Depleted Uranium - NATO's Dark Secret

The US and NATO armed forces began using bullets made of DU in the 1991 Gulf War and have been using it in every major armed conflict since that time. It is used because it is extremely dense (1.6 times as dense as lead) which makes it ideal for piercing heavy armor. The U.S. used 640,000 pounds of DU ammunition just in the first gulf war alone. In the 2003 invasion they used an estimated 4,000,000 pounds.

Fracking Hell: The True Cost of America’s Gas Rush

An original investigative report by Earth Focus and UK’s Ecologist Film Unit looks at the risks of natural gas development in the Marcellus Shale. From toxic chemicals in drinking water to unregulated interstate dumping of potentially radioactive waste that experts fear can contaminate water supplies in major population centers including New York City, are the health consequences worth the economic gains?

Marcellus Shale contains enough natural gas to supply all US gas needs for 14 years. But as gas drilling takes place, using a process called hydraulic fracturing or “fracking,” toxic chemicals and methane gas seep into drinking water. Now experts fear that unacceptable levels of radioactive Radium 226 in gas development waste.

Fracking chemicals are linked to bone, liver and breast cancers, gastrointestinal, circulatory, respiratory, developmental as well as brain and nervous system disorders. Such chemicals are present in frack waste and may find their way into drinking water and air.

Waste from Pennsylvania gas wells — waste that may also contain unacceptable levels of radium — is routinely dumped across state lines into landfills in New York, Ohio and West Virginia. New York does not require testing waste for radioactivity prior to dumping or treatment. So drill cuttings from Pennsylvania have been dumped in New York’s Chemung and other counties and liquid waste is shipped to treatment plants in Auburn and Watertown New York. How radioactive is this waste? Experts are calling are for testing to find out.
New York State may have been the first state in the nation to put a temporary hold on fracking pending a safety review, but it allows other states to dump toxic frack waste within its boundaries.
