U.S. Army and CIA Target Black Americans with Deadly Biological Warfare Experiments: This video includes visual highlights for the 06-02-15 meeting of The Global Black Feminist Reading Circle. It focuses on key points, including: 1) MK-NAOMI: Joint Army-CIA-Fed Killer Mosquitoes Target Blacks at Carver Village, Miami, FL; and 2) Killer Mosquitoes Target Blacks at Carver Village, Chatham County (Savannah), GA. In this discussion, members focus on Chapter 15 – “Aberrant Wars: American Bioterrorism Targets Blacks,” of our text, "Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present,” by Harriet A. Washington. Georgette Moses is the evening’s moderator.
Summary:
Unnoticed amidst the racial strife in 1950s Florida, went the biological warfare unleashed in hundreds of dispersals of disease-carrying mosquitoes, by the U.S. Army and CIA, targeting Black Americans. By 1980, the dastardly and lethal deeds of MK-NAOMI had been revealed, but not before African Americans fell ill and died, including many children. It was all just an experiment. The use chemical and biological weapons is the subject of “Chapter 15 - Aberrant Wars: American Bioterrorism Targets Blacks.”
We learn in this chapter that bioterrorism includes disease-causing organisms, nuclear weapons and other chemical agents (i.e. anthrax and radiation-poisoning). American right-wing hate groups are among those who develop plans – and stock supplies – to target African Americans with biological and/or chemical weapons. The FBI has infiltrated a number of these groups, (of which more than 1,000 are known), and foiled their terroristic plans. Nevertheless, these hate groups pose an on-going threat. Not all attempts to contain domestic terrorists have been successful. Washington looks at the example of the anthrax attack of 2001, where five people were killed, and how the country’s response to threats on Congress contrasted sharply with attacks on the USPS.
We also learn that American scientific expertise in the area of bioterrorism has been exported internationally. Specifically, Washington examines the case of South Africa, where Dr. Wouter Basson implemented many of the tools he learned from his American mentors, against anti-apartheid leaders and demonstrators.
No one – not the American scientists or the South African ones – were brought to justice.
