I didn't really read.

Is this another chemtrail thread or is it some other conspiracy?

Got to love sensational thread/article titles that end in a question mark.

", that powder may have contained radioactive material.

The powder scattering was part of Operation Large Area Coverage (LAC), a series of tests the Army says were designed to assess the threat of biological attacks by simulating the airborne dispersion of germs (http://www.livescience.com/21100-pandemic-potential-how-mutant-bird-flu-goes-airborne.html). The experiments exposed large swathes of the United States, and parts of Mexico and Canada, to flurries of a synthesized chemical called zinc cadmium sulfide.


New research from sociologist Lisa Martino-Taylor in St. Louis, one of the cities singled out for heavy-duty testing during LAC, suggests the Army may have mixed radioactive particles (http://www.myhealthnewsdaily.com/1053-radiation-health-effects-japan-nuclear-reactor-cancer.html) with the zinc cadmium sulfide it spread throughout a poor, mostly black neighborhood there."

The fucking military. Everbody and everything is nothing but target practice.

zinc, cadmium, very nasty stuff.

Even if they did, why?

You should really refrain from posting every article you come across the internet.

:lol go post every article you see on the internet only to pronounce your stupidity by not giving your take on the said article.

still watching jersey shore lol

doubt they actually did it, no need to spray toxic stuffs over the cities when they can simply denature the drinking water with fluoride, which they've been performing for decades

It seems they actually did. Though the chemical was thought at the time to be harmless.

No, it is not.

An older article, Secret Army Chemical Tests Did Not Harm Health, Report Says (http://www.nytimes.com/1997/05/15/us/secret-army-chemical-tests-did-not-harm-health-report-says.html), May 15, 1997

The spraying of a potentially toxic chemical in several cities in Army tests in the 1950's and 60's apparently had no adverse health effects, a National Research Council committee said today.

The 15-member committee said in a report that the compound, zinc cadmium sulfide, which was secretly sprayed from airplanes, rooftops and moving vehicles in 33 urban and rural areas of the United States and Canada, did not expose residents to chemical levels considered harmful.

''Even when we assume the worst about how this chemical might behave in the lungs, we conclude that people would be at a higher risk simply from living in a typical urban, industrialized area for several days or, in some cases, for months,'' Dr. Henderson said.

The secret spraying took place in Minneapolis and surrounding areas; Corpus Christi, Tex.; Fort Wayne, Ind.; St. Louis and in 29 other urban and rural areas in the United States and Canada, the report said.

But the Army didn't know what effect spraying millions of people would have.

And as with BigPharma drugs, EVERYTHING synthetic has negative side effects.

Martino-Taylor, a professor at St. Louis Community College-Meramec, admits she has no direct proof radioactive material was released in St. Louis


You may wish to re-read it a bit more closely.

Something worth looking into to be certain, but I detected a distinct lack of hard evidence.

I'll pass.

Get back to me on the subject when you can replace the question with an exclamation.
