New York, NY 10018 (212) 279-0707 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (continuation) GARY NULL: Another interesting test that the U.S. Army performed lasted for five days. They conducted the test in New York City, in our subway system. They PURPOSELY selected the peak travel hours for their secret experiment. They had bacteria that they put into regular incandescent light bulbs. About eighty-seven trillion bacteria can be contained in one glass bulb. And then these were surreptitiously dropped so that they would break and get into the ventilating systems. And then they measured the dispersion factor. One of the strangest discoveries that one makes after examining all this data is that by the U.S. Army's own testimony, they never monitored the health of the exposed populations. So, the Army's first answer to questions concerning the health of the test populations is that: (quote) "We just don't know how many people have been injured or hurt." (unquote) However, a very intriguing affair occurred in one year when the Public first learned that these tests had taken place. A reporter from Newsday began to investigate these tests. He thought, at the time when he first discovered that the U.S. Army had done some tests, that there were perhaps seven or eight tests done. It was only later on in the course of the following month that so many more tests were uncovered. A young lawyer out in San Francisco, named Edward Nevin, was traveling to his office reading the San Francisco Chronicle one morning, and he came across an article about a San Francisco man having been sprayed, along with everyone else, about twenty-seven years earlier. The article said that there was a suspicion that this person had died from an infection caused by the same bacteria that the U.S. Army had used. And the man's name was given as Edward Nevin. Well, the younger Nevin immediately recognized this man to be his grandfather who had died many years before. His grandfather was a patient at Stanford University Hospital. He had gone in for a prostate operation. And he was in good health. It was a simple operation. Then suddenly, he took very ill. The hospital found that he had been infected with the same organism, sirita marcensus [that the U.S. Army had been spraying over heavily-populated areas]. One very important aspect of this is that this patient was at Stanford University Hospital, one of the best teaching hospitals in the United States. Never in the history of that hospital had that organism ever been found to cause infection. And it was at the exact same time that the U.S. Army had tested this bacteria that he had been in the hospital. There were many other cases of people showing up at the hospital who were infected with this bacteria. Well, the case so baffled the doctors at Stanford that they wrote an article on it. And I got the article. It was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. Now, had that article NOT been written, and had the doctors NOT explained their puzzlement in that article ..... They didn't know that the U.S. Army had just finished spraying. No one knew! Because the U.S. Army told no one that it was doing this open-air test. The Nevin family took the United States Government to court, claiming that their father had been killed as a consequence of infection by that bacteria. the case was based on three basic premises: 1) that the U.S. Army's spraying of bacteria over San Francisco had caused the senior Nevin's death, 2) the U.S. Army had sufficient reason to suspect that the bacteria could be pathogenic, and thus, their spraying of the bacteria over heavily-populated areas was an act of negligence. [JD: That's a misstatement. These were cold-blooded attacks upon the American People.] 3) that the Army's spraying over San Francisco was not a part of basic Government policy, and hence, the Government could not claim immunity. Two months after the institution of the [legal] action, a Federal judge dismissed the case and vindicated the Federal Government on all three counts. First, despite ample evidence supporting the Nevins' claim that the U.S. Army's testing had been responsible for their relative's death, the judge reasoned that it was impossible to prove cause and effect. And even though the Nevin family produced all this evidence, the judge said that it was not the U.S. Army's negligence. Doctor Richard Wheat[sp], one of the co-authors of the original scientific article on this mysterious outbreak of this bacterial infection around the time of the U.S. Army's tests, when asked whether a review of the medical literature [on this bacteria] prior to the year [of the Army's testing] would inevitably include some degree of risk, he said: (quote) "That would be my conclusion." (unquote) So, clearly, the U.S. Government knew that what they were spraying was dangerous. But the judge still threw it out. That's not surprising. He's a Federal judge. Remember, the Government knows just what judges to appoint by knowing their tendencies. Now, that doesn't mean that the WHOLE system is biased, but a lot of it is. The Nevins' case is significant because it illustrates the almost insurmountable obstacles involved in trying to get the Government to take responsibility for its actions. Even in the face of medical literature to the contrary, the U.S. Army insisted that the bacteria it was spraying was absolutely harmless (How many times have we heard that?), and the U.S. Government won. Are we still being experimented on? We'll find out. Remember how the U.S. Government denied any responsibility when six thousand sheep suddenly died, fell flat, twenty miles from Dunway Research Laboratories? Nobody knew what happened. The ranchers got suspicious because the winds were coming from Dunway. The U.S. Army denied it, and to this day, they continue to deny it. But how in the world did six thousand sheep just suddenly die in one day? The U.S. Government claimed that it was a natural act. Really? Has it ever happened in history, in any country in the world, that six thousand sheep suddenly die in one day? Well, that's how it stands. Some of us are concerned about that kind of thinking and that kind of rationale. But, unfortunately, there are still too few Americans who are aware of this to do anything about it.
