Aerosol Spraying

NEWSTARGET| Do you remember the first time you noticed those long puffy clouds emanating from jets that didn’t just evaporate? You saw them spread out, dissipating a cloudy mist that blocked the sunshine. Maybe a friend, or an online source informed you that those were chemtrails, containing aerosol toxins that could be turned on or off at will.

The American population have been test cases for whatever is purposely dropped from above.

According to Global Research, since the 1940s, the American population have been guinea pigs for a variety of biological and chemical concoctions courtesy of the U.S. military. These chemtrails are just the latest in a long line of assaults.

What’s inside this spray? It varies, and it’s not good for us, nor the hydrological processes of the planet. Independent testing has confirmed a boatload of nano particle toxic chemicals inside chemtrail sprays, including aluminum, barium, yellow fungal mycotoxins, cadmium, polymer fibers, “dessicated blood, mold spores” and much more.

We are under a poisonous attack under the guise of protecting the earth from over heating. Official denials have been consistent and those who speak out against these practices have been ridiculed. But, according to The Free Thought Project, there’s been a chemtrail confession by none other than John A. Brennan, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

CIA Director Brennan says that stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) has “gained his attention.” Does that mean he looks up? Not exactly.

In late June, 2016, the CIA chief spoke about “instability and transnational threats” at a meeting of the Council on Foreign Relations in Washington D.C.  Much like those “scientists” that depend on the lies about genetic engineering to keep their funding dollars coming, it appears that John A. Brennan has been talking to “scientists” that depend on the myth of man made global warming to keep their boat afloat.

When the head of the CIA says that stratospheric aerosol injection programs (SAI) “could limit global temperatures” but “SAI alone would not remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere,” it sounds like he’s working for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). By the way, that EPA Clean Power Plan is all about reducing carbon – that “deadly” greenhouse gas – and it’s being challenged in the courts by 24 states. Think about this.  Co2 is called a greenhouse gas because greenhouses use Co2 to make plants grow bigger and more robust! Since we exhale Co2 to feed the trees, is our breath next to be taxed?

What’s Al Gore got to do with it? Plenty. Just follow the money.

In 2007, former Vice President Al Gore received a Nobel Peace Prize for his work on global warming. In his acceptance speech, he claimed that the Artic ice caps would disappear by 2014.  (Incidentally, in 2016, Forbes says that NASA has reported the Artic ice is doing just fine.)

A few years before Gore’s  acceptance speech, and his infamous documentary, Mr. Gore, and business partner David Blood, formed Generation Investment Management LLP.  According to Forbes, by 2011, these two raked in $218 million from investors who wanted to cash in on the wave of cap and trade. But it’s not labeled global warming anymore.

Today all weather changes  – heat, earthquakes, volcanos, cold, tornadoes, floods, fires, drought and more – are bundled under a bigger tent called climate change.

Here’s a great mini debate about just that between Bill Nye, the “science guy” and “climate realist” Mark Morano of Climate Depot  from 2012.

The 50-year mystery known as the ‘cursed bread’ in Pont-Saint-Esprit France, which left residents of a sleepy French village suffering chronic hallucinations, was discovered to be a CIA experiment in which their bread was spiked with LSD.

The revelations were discovered by an American investigative journalist when he uncovered evidence that the CIA prepared local food with the hallucinogenic drug LSD.

The quite picturesque village in southernFrance descended into mass insanity literally overnight, as people were sectioned to asylums and resulting in at least 5 residents dying. The CIA had prepared local food with LSD as part of a mind control experiment at the height of the cold war.

The telegraph reports: The mystery of Le Pain Maudit (Cursed Bread) still haunts the inhabitants of Pont-Saint-Esprit, in the Gard, southeast France.

On August 16, 1951, the inhabitants were suddenly racked with frightful hallucinations of terrifying beasts and fire.

One man tried to drown himself, screaming that his belly was being eaten by snakes.

An 11-year-old tried to strangle his grandmother.Another man shouted: “I am a plane”, before jumping out of a second-floor window, breaking his legs. He then got up and carried on for 50 yards. Another saw his heart escaping through his feet and begged a doctor to put it back. Many were taken to the local asylum in strait jackets.

Time magazine wrote at the time: “Among the stricken, delirium rose: patients thrashed wildly on their beds, screaming that red flowers were blossoming from their bodies, that their heads had turned to molten lead.”

Eventually, it was determined that the best-known local baker had unwittingly contaminated his flour with ergot, a hallucinogenic mould that infects rye grain. Another theory was the bread had been poisoned with organic mercury.

However, H P Albarelli Jr., an investigative journalist, claims the outbreak resulted from a covert experiment directed by the CIA and the US Army’s top-secret Special Operations Division (SOD) at Fort Detrick, Maryland.

The scientists who produced both alternative explanations, he writes, worked for the Swiss-based Sandoz Pharmaceutical Company, which was then secretly supplying both the Army and CIA with LSD.

Mr Albarelli came across CIA documents while investigating the suspicious suicide of Frank Olson, a biochemist working for the SOD who fell from a 13th floor window two years after the Cursed Bread incident.

One note transcribes a conversation between a CIA agent and a Sandoz official who mentions the “secret of Pont-Saint-Esprit” and explains that it was not “at all” caused by mould but by diethylamide, the D in LSD.

While compiling his book, A Terrible Mistake: The Murder of Frank Olson and the CIA’s Secret Cold War Experiments, Mr Albarelli spoke to former colleagues of Mr Olson, two of whom told him that the Pont-Saint-Esprit incident was part of a mind control experiment run by the CIA and US army.After the Korean War, the Americans launched a vast research program into the mental manipulation of prisoners and enemy troops.

Scientists at Fort Detrick told him that agents had sprayed LSD into the air and also contaminated “local foot products”.

Mr Albarelli said the real “smoking gun” was a White House document sent to members of the Rockefeller Commission formed in 1975 to investigate CIA abuses.

It contained the names of a number of French nationals who had been secretly employed by the CIA and made direct reference to the “Pont St. Esprit incident.” In its quest to research LSD as an offensive weapon, Mr Albarelli claims, the US army also drugged over 5,700 unwitting American servicemen between 1953 and 1965.

None of his sources would indicate whether the French secret services were aware of the alleged operation. According to US news reports, French intelligence chiefs have demanded the CIA explain itself following the book’s revelations. French intelligence officially denies this.

Locals in Pont-Saint-Esprit still want to know why they were hit by such apocalyptic scenes. “At the time people brought up the theory of an experiment aimed at controlling a popular revolt,” said Charles Granjoh, 71.

“I almost kicked the bucket,” he told the weekly French magazine Les Inrockuptibles. “I’d like to know why.”

NaturalNews| When the denial of chemtrails is overcome, concerns of their content and their effects are raised.

Two metals, barium and aluminum, are consistently discovered worldwide in chemtrail analysis from air and water traps as well as mountain waterways and snow. They’re formed as nanoparticles that are easily breathed in by mammals and absorbed by plant life. Other heavy metal particulates and organic pathogens are discovered less frequently as well.

“Nanoparticles must be prepared and stored in a liquid medium designed to facilitate sufficient inter-particle repulsion that prevents aggregation.” In other words, nanoparticles will clump together again quickly in a powdered or solid medium. (Source below)

A common phrase used for chemtrailing is aerosol spraying. Another is geoengineering, or climate intervention. There are enough influential mad scientists who are promoting geoengineering as the solution to climate change. (Source below)

The scientific press releases and conferences give the impression that they are planning this activity, which has actually been going on since the early to mid-1990s with chemtrailing.

Some claim chemtrails are sprayed separately from the engines, and others claim it’s part of jet fuel. I think it’s from both sources of high flying aircraft, some military, some commercial, and some CIA owned front independent cargo airlines (the ones used for drug trafficking), as observed photographically.

However chemtrails are administered, the liquid that could maintain particulates as nanoparticles is there.

When they’re released into the upper atmosphere, the trails that are not contrails spread out, sometimes gathering with other chemtrails along flight paths and patterns that are not normal, especially when they curve into circles or create tic-tac-toe like grid patterns.

The particles retain their nanoparticle size as they drift down and are easily absorbed, taken up by our blood and, because of their nanoparticle size, they are carried past the blood brain barrier into our brains. Aluminum is bad for brains. Dr. Blaylock will explain that. The nanoparticles are also absorbed by the soil to affect agricultural products and other vegetation.

A Retired Neurosurgeon and Author Addresses Chemtrails

Dr. Russell Blaylock, retired neurosurgeon, neurotoxin expert and author, recently challenged noted pediatricians to take the same vaccinations they promote for children in this video.

He admits that at first he was skeptical about chemtrail reports until he began noticing them himself. Many still deny their existence even when they see them! The deniers usually claim they are contrails, which are ice particles from jet vapors that evaporate quickly and disappear.

Conversely, chemtrails linger across the sky, often from horizon to horizon, for several hours, often fanning out and forming patterns that are not normal flight patterns.

Blaylock has become aware of their aluminum content. He explains that aluminum nanoparticles can enter the brain and spinal cord quickly through the nostrils, mouth, and into the lungs where they enter the blood through the lungs’ blood vessels that are meant to pick up oxygen. He adds that nanoparticles are much more inflammatory to tissue than other forms of environmental aluminum.

He sees a connection of chemtrailing since the 1990s with aluminum nanoparticles to the rise of neurodegenerative diseases, especially among young people. He’s talking about Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Lou Gehrig’s diseases, not autism spectrum disorders from vaccines, which Dr. Blaylock has also covered extensively.

Dr. Blaylock also expressed concern over the saturation of plant, crop life, and water with aluminum nanoparticles. He thinks chemtrailing must be curbed before it’s too late to minimize the threat of constant aluminum toxicity surrounding us. (Source below)

That seems very improbable with all the public and media denial surrounding this issue. Many realize that aluminum causes neurological damage unless we eliminate the aluminum toxins from our brains and nervous systems quickly. Here’s one easy way. BUT …. If you don’t want to wade through the scientist’s long lecture presented via that link, he says Volvic water does wonders for removing aluminum.

It contains the proper liquid suspension of silica that crosses the blood brain barrier and binds aluminum molecules for elimination through urine. Volvic water is sold in many Whole Foods stores and some other health food stores and online.

Barium’s Function in Chemtrails

And what if our immune systems are suppressed? That may be the barium salts’ purpose in chemtrails. Besides irritating lungs by breathing them and causing serious heart and digestive problems. Ingesting or breathing in barium can directly diminish the immune system.

Laboratory findings have concluded that barium interferes with our bodies’ activation of T-cells, which are the attack cells against pathogenic microbes. If not directly involved with destroying pathogens, T-cells support other immune functions, including the destruction of cancer cells. (Source below)

Thus chemtrails provide a one-two punch of neurotoxic irritant and immune suppression. There have been occasional chemtrail residue captures from air filters, open water containers, and rain water that don’t have as much aluminum, but are heavy with barium.

This allows other chemtrail heavy metals and biological disease agents found everywhere else to have a field day unless we do everything possible to maintain a strong immune system and continually detox. Eliminating heavy metals should be researched and performed often. You can start here for heavy metals in general and here for aluminum specifically.

Interestingly, the Carnicom Institute has found chemtrail samples of diseased dried blood cells along with the major heavy metal contaminants. He includes opinions that claim Morgellon’s Disease is a result of nanotechnology particles in some chemtrails.

But we’re supposed to believe the “official” limited hangout press releases that chemtrailing is for preventing global warming. By the way, some scientists claim creating a high altitude “plasma” shield with geoengineering will cause a greenhouse effect that warms the earth more.

This article by Cassius Kamarampi was originally published by The Mind Unleashed. 

It’s official: the US government’s partners in academia are going to openly spray us. It’s a move toward a future where they openly spray the skies to supposedly fight climate change.

Harvard scientist David Keith and his partner are going to spray the sky with aluminum oxide and other chemicals to “experiment” with geoengineering: solar radiation management (SRM) as they call it, to block out the sun.

They want to block out the sun to supposedly combat climate change, but the well documented history of weather modification for military purposes suggests there are other motives.

According to MIT’s Technology Review:

“A pair of Harvard climate scientists are preparing small-scale atmospheric experiments that could offer insights into the feasibility and risks of deliberately altering the climate to ease global warming.

They would be among the earliest official geoengineering-related experiments conducted outside of a controlled laboratory or computer model, underscoring the growing sense of urgency among scientists to begin seriously studying the possibility as the threat of climate change mounts.

Sometime next year, Harvard professors David Keith and Frank Keutsch hope to launch a high-altitude balloon, tethered to a gondola equipped with propellers and sensors, from a site in Tucson, Arizona. After initial engineering tests, the “StratoCruiser” would spray a fine mist of materials such as sulfur dioxide, alumina, or calcium carbonate into the stratosphere. The sensors would then measure the reflectivity of the particles, the degree to which they disperse or coalesce, and the way they interact with other compounds in the atmosphere.”

According to the Guardian:

“US scientists are set to send aerosol injections 20km up into the earth’s stratosphere in the world’s biggest solar geoengineering programme to date, to study the potential of a future tech-fix for global warming.

The $20m (£16m) Harvard University project will launch within weeks and aims to establish whether the technology can safely simulate the atmospheric cooling effects of a volcanic eruption, if a last ditch bid to halt climate change is one day needed.”

This comes after a United Nations “geoengineering governance initiative” was launched, and the Carnegie Council announced the launch of a “Carnegie Climate Geoengineering Governance Initiative.” This comes after CIA director John Brennan proposed they spray the skies and do “solar radiation management” (SRM) to fight climate change in 2016.

Some powerful forces are pushing very hard for the ability to spray the skies with aluminum, to modify the weather and set a precedent where they can spray anything on us.

This precedent where we can’t identify what is sprayed on us could usher in a new era of chemical or biowarfare against citizens.

As victims of the US’ long history with experimenting on citizens can attest to, this is a serious possibility. Just research the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiments, the spraying of San Fransisco in Operation Sea Spray, ect.

The forces pushing for spraying are not a mystery, and they’ve been at work on geoengineering for decades.

They are found at military industrial complex affiliated institutions such as MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Harvard, MITRE Corporation, Raytheon, and others. If you want to know what “the system” is, it’s MIT. They are an academic limb of the military industrial complex.

Half a century of progress toward modifying the weather for military purposes (and to create a global warming false alarm to justify it) coming out of MIT and similiar entities was well documented in Peter A. Kirby’s book “Chemtrails Exposed: A New Manhattan Project.” Or, you could read his even more recent article on the topic. Or, you could listen to an interview with Peter Kirby about all of this.

However, the truth is geoengineering is obviously already happening in the US and around the world: just look up at the sky. Those giant high altitude “chemtrails” that turn into haze in the sky and persist all day are active geoengineering efforts before they disclose it and take it to an even further level.

So what these people are really trying to do, is normalize geoengineering in the public’s perception.

David Keith is a pawn putting on a show of “experiments” for geoengineering, experiments that seem fairly redundant if you know how far the technology of geoengineering has been developed. Then they can say “we tested it and it’s safe,” and they will spray us much worse than they already are.

Speaking from experience being in every major region of the US and one region of Australia in 2016 and 2017, I can tell you California, particularly central and northern California has it possibly the worst right now.

In California, they spray heavy, and the dry air seems to let the material fall down on people so badly you can smell it, and in some areas (like Sacramento, California) the material they spray can make you instantly sick.

They sprayed Sacramento with a plastic smelling, sharp, irritating aerosol in late 2016. They seemed to use two distinct kinds of spray: the first from about January 2016- August 2016 smelled starchy, powdery, kind of ashy and metallic like aluminum. The smell fills the air and the house if windows are left open.

It’s unmistakable that the spraying is what you smell: the smell always comes right after they spray, and you can watch it fall down.

Then in August, the smell changed distinctly to a sharp, plastic, static electric type of smell and it was much worse.

The worse plasticky spray pierces through closed windows unlike the other kind, and is carried by the rain, as if they spray into rain clouds.

The rain used to wash away the smell of chemtrails in my experience, but it actually carries the new plastic smelling spray straight through the walls of your house when it rains. It makes you wonder about what we will be subject to in the future, experiencing that, trying to shut the chemtrails out of the house.

We just can’t let this go further. They are already spraying, and they want little opposition to spraying much harder. Who knows what other interests they have in spraying: it seems they want to set a precedent. The US would probably like to direct rain systems, give some areas drought (Iran) and give some areas water.

Some power players would probably like us to all be poisoned with aluminum. Nanoparticles of aluminum, what they have been known to spray, can make people docile and confused like someone with Alzheimer’s. Aluminum is detrimental to our health, comparable to mercury.

So we have to push back as hard as we can, no matter how exhausted we are, the people who see what’s happening and have the gall to stand up.

In conclusion, this is from an article about the Carnegie Council’s recent steps toward geoengineering:

“If we don’t protest their proposal to spray the skies now, in 20 years we’ll be living in an aluminum poisoned nightmare where questioning the health of geoengineering the weather, hazing out the sun to combat climate change, will be as taboo as being critical of vaccines.

We cannot allow geoengineering to become normalized in the public consciousness.“

CIA Director just addressed the Council on Foreign Relations and admitted his desire to conduct stratospheric aerosol injection.

This article by Matt Agorist was originally published at The Free Thought Project.

Last week, the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, John O. Brennan addressed instability and transnational threats to global security at a meeting with the Council on Foreign Relations. During his long-winded talk of threats to US interests and how the largely CIA-created ISIL threat is impacting the world, Brennan brought up the topic of geoengineering.

Another example is the array of technologies—often referred to collectively as geoengineering—that potentially could help reverse the warming effects of global climate change. One that has gained my personal attention is stratospheric aerosol injection, or SAI, a method of seeding the stratosphere with particles that can help reflect the sun’s heat, in much the same way that volcanic eruptions do.

Brennan went on to echo the calls from some scientists who have called for aerial spraying.

The extent at which Brennan talked about stratospheric aerosol injection (SAI) shows that he and the CIA have likely been considering this for some time. As promising as it may be, moving forward on SAI would raise a number of challenges for our government and for the international community. On the technical side, greenhouse gas emission reductions would still have to accompany SAI to address other climate change effects, such as ocean acidification, because SAI alone would not remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.

On the geopolitical side, the technology’s potential to alter weather patterns and benefit certain regions at the expense of others could trigger sharp opposition by some nations. Others might seize on SAI’s benefits and back away from their commitment to carbon dioxide reductions. And, as with other breakthrough technologies, global norms and standards are lacking to guide the deployment and implementation of SAI.

“Chemtrails” have long been the talk of conspiracy theories with massive amounts of disinformation being posted all over the internet including fake studies and photos. However, several real studies show that some ‘seeding’ or geoengineering may be taking place.

A study published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health is suggesting that geoengineering has already begun, and the substance being used is a toxic by-product of coal burning call coal-fly ash.

“The widespread, intentional and increasingly frequent chemical emplacement in the troposphere has gone unidentified and unremarked in the scientific literature for years. The author presents evidence that toxic coal combustion fly ash is the most likely aerosolized particulate sprayed by tanker-jets for geoengineering, weather-modification and climate-modification purposes and describes some of the multifold consequences on public health.

Also, it has been proposed that unintentional geoengineering may already be taking place as well.

As Derrick Broze points out, researchers with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) are suggesting contrails from airplanes may be inadvertently geoengineering the skies.

Chuck Long is a researcher with the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences (CIRES) at the NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory at the University of Colorado in Boulder. At the recent American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting, Long and his team released their paper, “Evidence of Clear-Sky Daylight Whitening: Are we already conducting geoengineering?” The analysis found that vapor from airplanes may be altering the climate through accidental geoengineering.

It may be a very long time before we know what, if anything, is actually going on in our skies. However, when the CIA, who is responsible for so much turmoil on a global scale, begins talking about geoengineering, we should listen.

Please share this story with your friends and family who think it’s only conspiracy nuts who talk about spraying things into the sky.

The part of the speech where Brennan talks about geoengineering begins at the 12:05 marker.

Or… you can listen to the condensed version below.

ParentingHealthyChildren| Those that doubt the twisted and psychotic nature of our own US military need to consider long and hard the contents of the newly declassified 14 minute video below. The entire composition of this military “training” film is far beyond disturbing and alarming.

The criminal cabal that currently rules the world are well aware of the fact that populations are beginning to wake up to their ongoing GLOBAL atmospheric spraying programs of total decimation and homicide.

After viewing the attached video, would any sane person doubt the fact that those in power would not hesitate to use such weapons against their own populations in order to retain their grip on power?

It is not just a possibility, but has long been a lethal reality that is clearly visible to any who bother to look up, do some objective research, and then put their sense of deductive reasoning to use. Climate engineering is weather warfare and biological warfare. There is no separating these components, they are all one and the same.

We are all under direct assault, as is the entire biosphere. This is not alarmism, theory, conjecture, or speculation, it is verifiable FACT.

Check your PRIORITIES, if you are not focused on the critical battle to expose and halt the toxic spraying of our skies being carried out under the global GLOBAL climate modification/solar radiation management umbrella, then you are missing the point. These programs of aerosol spraying are the most immediate threat to life on Earth short of nuclear cataclysm.

Make your voice heard in the fight for the common good while there is yet something worth fighting for.

VIA| The United States Military conducted top secret experiments on the citizens of St. Louis, Missouri, for years, exposing them to radioactive compounds, a researcher has claimed.

While it was known that the government sprayed ‘harmless’ zinc cadmium silfide particles over the general population in St Louis, Professor Lisa Martino-Taylor, a sociologist at St. Louis Community College, claims that a radioactive additive was also mixed with the compound.

READ MORE: Chemtrails are LEGAL Under Patriot Act 

She has accrued detailed descriptions as well as photographs of the spraying which exposed the unwitting public, predominantly in low-income and minority communities, to radioactive particles.

Scroll down for video.

Above, cadmium sulfide, the ‘harmless’ chemical sprayed on the public is pictured

 ‘The study was secretive for reason. They didn’t have volunteers stepping up and saying yeah, I’ll breathe zinc cadmium sulfide with radioactive particles,’ said Professor Martino-Taylor to KSDK.

Through her research, she found photographs of how the particles were distributed from 1953-1954 and 1963-1965.

In Corpus Christi, the chemical was dropped from airplanes over large swathes of city.  In St Louis, the Army put chemical sprayers on buildings, like schools and public housing projects, and mounted them in station wagons for mobile use.

Despite the extent of the experiment, local politicians were not notified about the content of the testing. The people of St Louis were told that the Army was testing smoke screens to protect cities from a Russian attack.

‘It was pretty shocking. The level of duplicity and secrecy. Clearly they went to great lengths to deceive people,’ Professor Martino-Taylor said. 

She accrued hundreds of pages of declassified information, which she has made available online.

In her research, she found that the greatest concentration of spraying in St Louis was at the Pruitt-Igoe public housing complex, which was home to 10,000 low income residents.  She said that 70 per cent of those residents were children under the age of 12.

Professor Martino-Taylor became interested in the topic after hearing independent reports of cancers among city residents living in those areas at the time.

‘This was a violation of all medical ethics, all international codes, and the military’s own policy at that time,’ said Professor Martino-Taylor.

‘There is a lot of evidence that shows people in St. Louis and the city, in particular minority communities, were subjected to military testing that was connected to a larger radiological weapons testing project.’

Previous investigations of the compound were rebuffed by the military, which insisted it was safe.

However, Professor Martino-Taylor believes the documents she’s uncovered, prove the zinc cadmium silfide was also mixed with radioactive particles.

She has linked the St Louis testing to a now-defunct company called US Radium. The controversial company came under fire, and numerous lawsuits, after several of its workers were exposed to dangerous levels of radioactive materials in its fluorescent paint.

‘US Radium had this reputation where they had been found legally liable for producing a radioactive powdered paint that killed many young women who painted fluorescent watch tiles,’ said Professor Martino-Taylor. 

In her findings, one of the compounds that was sprayed upon the public was called ‘FP2266’, according to the army’s documents, and was manufactured by US Radium. The compound, also known as Radium 226, was the same one that killed and sickened many of the US Radium workers.

The Army has admitted that it added a fluorescent substance to the ‘harmless’ compound, but whether or not the additive was radioactive remains classified.

Professor Martino-Taylor has not been able to find if the Army ever followed up on the long term health of the residents exposed to the compound. In 1972, the government destroyed the Pruitt-Igoe houses.

Upon learning of the professor’s findings, Missouri lawmakers called on the Army to detail the tests.

‘I share and understand the renewed anxiety of members of the St. Louis communities that were exposed to the spraying of (the chemicals) as part of Army tests during the Cold War,’ Senator Claire McCaskill wrote to Army Secretary John McHugh.

‘The impacted communities were not informed of the tests at the time and are reasonably anxious about the long term health impacts the tests may have had on those exposed to the airborne chemicals.’

Senator Roy Blunt called the findings ‘absolutely shocking.’

‘The idea that thousands of Missourians were unwillingly exposed to harmful materials in order to determine their health effects is absolutely shocking. It should come as no surprise that these individuals and their families are demanding answers of government officials,’ Senator Blunt said.
