In one of the longest-held secrets of the Cold War, the U.S. Army explored the potential for using radioactive poisons to assassinate "important individuals" such as military or civilian leaders, according to newly declassified documents obtained by The Associated Press.

Approved at the highest levels of the Army in 1948, the effort was a well-hidden part of the military's pursuit of a "new concept of warfare" using radioactive materials from atomic bombmaking to contaminate swaths of enemy land or to target military bases, factories or troop formations.

How is that news? Various branches of the intelligence community and military have tested drugs, radioactive agents, pathogens and interrogation techniques on civilians since the 50's. Check your history.

Who is surprised about this? I grew up believing I lived in the greatest country ever. Now I know that I grew up in some kind of bubble of lies. No wonder I am so angry. And, now, although, I am so not surprised by these things, they still make me cry.

"to contaminate swaths of enemy land or to target military bases, factories or troop formations­."

....hmmm, as if depleted-uranium is in another category?

I often use my own personal Geiger-counter to do my own environmental monitoring­..
I strongly recommend everybody put a radiation-detector on your wish-list.­.
what you find will blow your mind..
got chronic fatigue?
don't like what you see in the mirror?
looking older than you should?

Your own government has been poisoning you
WAKE UP !!!

I think we have yet to learn the extent to which we've been poisoned. Read the article at the link below and see if you don't get a sudden urge to jettison your wireless devices, beg your children to get rid of theirs, and pick up a radiation detector:

Using your wars sock tonight raise?

Why do your posts keep getting scrubbed?

wars is a fan of EtJ. EtJ posts links to the white supremacist anti-Semitic website of NeoNazi Alex Linder.

wars is a fan of Destin, who calls for Israel to be blown off the face of the map.

wars, even though she denounces misogyny, is a fan of LindaSmart50, who calls Americans "Americ*nts".

wars, in her paranoid delusional mind, thinks that there is one poster using 77 different sockpuppets to "attack" her. Yet, wars admitted to using MANY logins because she is a "prolific writer".

wars can GFH.

"Approved at the highest levels of the Army in 1948" That would be Roosevelt, followed by Truman, both Democrats. Wake up.
