Obama EPA’s Monstrous Human Experiments

Posted By Matthew Vadum On April 4, 2014 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage

President Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency has been subjecting unknowing human guinea pigs to high levels of carcinogens and potentially lethal pollutants in order to justify tough new air quality standards.

To make matters worse, EPA has been carrying out these egregiously immoral and unethical human experiments in which subjects are made to inhale freshly pumped-in diesel truck exhaust fumes without advising them of the risk to their health.

Such EPA-funded studies have reportedly been carried out at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, University of Rochester (N.Y.), University of Southern California, University of Michigan, and elsewhere.

It is social engineering of the worst sort carried out by left-wing bureaucrats who view people as objects or playthings, not as individuals. It is also consistent with the profoundly misanthropic ethos of environmentalism, a movement that was already radical 25 years ago but has become outright totalitarian in its goals since it was taken over by neo-Marxists around the world following the collapse of their ideal state, the Soviet Union.

The news, which has largely been ignored by the mainstream media, comes amidst the EPA’s draconian crackdown on wood-burning stoves (that will probably lead to a crackdown on fireplaces too eventually).

The disturbing finding that Americans have been subjected to dangerous toxins for political gain is contained in a new investigative report by The Daily Caller’s Michael Bastasch.

The article comes on the heels of a new report by the EPA’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG) that says the EPA’s experiments exposed individuals, including those with asthma and cardiac problems, to pollutants such as diesel fumes in quantities up to 50 times greater than the levels the agency deems safe for humans.

None of the $12-an-hour test subjects has died (yet) but some of them have experienced significant health problems.

After being exposed to “ambient air pollution particles” in 2010, an obese 58-year-old woman with medical problems and a family history of heart disease had to go to the hospital. One volunteer patient was exposed to ozone for 15 minutes and developed a nasty cough while two other experienced “cardiac arrhythmias” during testing.

The dangerous taxpayer-funded experiments were unearthed in 2012 by pseudoscience debunker Steve Milloy. Using the Freedom of Information Act (FoIA), his website, JunkScience.com, got its hands on the results of tests EPA quacks conducted on people who were exposed to high levels of airborne fine particulate matter – soot and dust that scientists refer to PM2.5.

In congressional testimony in late 2011, then-EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson told a congressional committee in effect that her agency was putting at risk the lives of study subjects.

“Particulate matter causes premature death. It doesn’t make you sick. It’s directly causal to dying sooner than you should,” said Jackson who is infamous for using secret pseudonymous email accounts in to conceal her official activities from FoIA inquiries and Congress. EPA claims that PM2.5 can kill those who inhale it within two days of exposure.

“If we could reduce particulate matter to healthy levels it would have the same impact as finding a cure for cancer in our country,” Jackson added.

“Got that?” Milloy wrote. “Airborne dust and soot don’t make you sick, they just kill you – virtually upon exposure.”

So is it true? Is particulate matter dangerous or not?

One manager who oversees the human experiments told the OIG that “the exposure risk for healthy individuals is minimal” and that a person breathing 420 micrograms per cubic meter for two hours “would inhale the same concentration as they would breathing 35 [micrograms per cubic meter]” which happens to be the EPA’s 24-hour regulatory standard for outdoor PM2.5 levels.

The EPA carried out five experiments in 2010 and 2011 to examine the health impact of particulate matter, or PM, and diesel exhaust on people. Although the newly released OIG report found that the EPA did obtain consent forms from 81 people in five studies the “exposure risks were not always consistently represented.”

“Further, the EPA did not include information on long-term cancer risks in its diesel exhaust studies’ consent forms,” the report continued. “An EPA manager considered these long-term risks minimal for short-term study exposures” but “human subjects were not informed of this risk in the consent form.”

Three EPA studies administered high levels of PM to subjects and two of the studies exposed individuals to large quantities of diesel exhaust and ozone.

Although the EPA maintains that particulate matter harms human health, the agency downplays those health risks in the scientific studies it conducts on real, live people. “This lack of warning about PM is also different from the EPA’s public image about PM,” said the Inspector General’s report...

FDR, MARGARET SANGER, THE BLACK PROJECT AND THE TUSKEGEE STUDY.

The Nazis were not the first to conduct deadly experiments on human beings they considered inferiors.

In using human beings as laboratory animals, Obama was following on the tradition of other democratic administrations.

Remember The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment. In 1932, under FDR, Blacks were used as laboratory animals, medical experiments that were unethical, non-consensual, and illegal.

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT 40-YEAR EXPERIMENT ON BLACK MEN WITH SYPHILIS
by Borgna Brunner

http://www.infoplease.com/spot/bhmtuskegee1.html#ixzz2xla5T4gg

“The United States government did something that was wrong—deeply, profoundly, morally wrong. It was an outrage to our commitment to integrity and equality for all our citizens... clearly racist.”

—President Clinton’s apology for the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment to the eight remaining survivors, May 16, 1997

UNDER TRUMAN, BLACKS AND GUATEMALANS WERE INFESTED WITH SYPHILIS IN NAZI-STYLE EXPERIMENTS

Later, the syphilis experiments were conducted from 1946 to 1948 in Guatemala, by United States-led human experiments during the administration of President Truman and President Juan José Arévalo with the cooperation of some Guatemalan health ministries and official, U.S. researchers used prostitutes to infect prison inmates, insane asylum patients, and Guatemalan soldiers with syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases, in order to test the effectiveness of penicillin in treating the STDs. They later tried infecting people with “direct inoculations made from syphilis bacteria poured into the men’s penises and on forearms and faces that were slightly abraded . . . or in a few cases through spinal punctures”.

Approximately 700 people were infected as part of the study (including orphan children). The study was sponsored by the Public Health Service, the National Institutes of Health and the Pan American Health Sanitary Bureau (now the World Health Organization’s Pan American Health Organization) and the Guatemalan government.
The team was led by John Charles Cutler, who later participated in the Tuskegee syphilis experiments. Cutler chose to do the study in Guatemala because he would not have been permitted to do it in the United States.

In 2010 when the research was revealed, President Obama officially apologized to Guatemala for the studies.
Will Obama apologize for his administration use of Americans as laboratory animals?

Here, I thought Doktor Mengela was dead.

Another dirty little secret that you will never hear about is the use of third world women as guinea pigs for testing out birth control pills when the pill was first introduced.

Third world women put in harm’s way so slutty American women could sleep around.

I quit using birth control when I found this out.

Another thought: has anybody really questioned the whole birth control mentality? It sure seems like that women have been the losers.
