The Hidden Tragedy of the CIA's Experiments on Children | t r u t h o u t

I'd like more information. Is this something that happened 60 years ago, like the experiments Germany did on the Jews, or is this article claiming that in today's time the CIA is doing this to children. If the answer is they're doing it today, I don't believe it.

As for using mind altering drugs on some terrorists who planned to kill us, I don't care. There are folks all over this country who use mind altering drugs regularly.

My son has Downe Syndrome and has been mistreated by the public school system where i dare not try to put him in public school anymore = he has been hit, ridiculed by teachers, blamed for things he did not do, all in all just given no education and treated like crap even though his behavior is better than the average child. There is so much discrimination going on in the public schools where I live I have basically given up even though I have taken them to court and fought and fought. Nothing has changed very much because when teachers have mistreated him they are backed up by the school system and so called human rights has backed up the public school's behavior so what has changed for the mentally handicapped= NOTHING! They still abuse these children if they think they can get away with it and in my son's case they have gotten away with it even though I really tried to stop it.

You can say whatever you want to about which group is most discriminated against, but I'm absolutely certain of those groups treated poorly with the least amount of rights, the worst treated would have to be the mentally ill.

Whether it's someone in the states' hospital, someone in an ALF (assisted living facility/"group home"), or just your crazy cousin they get done like SHIT.

Yeah the CIA has done and will continue to do totally messed up things, but there is a big segment of the population that it's still socially acceptable to do wrong; the mentally ill.

Have you seen the commercials for drugs like Abilify: possible side effects include "sudden death"....

I mean what WTF? really it's reprehensible how we treat them, worse than how we treat convicted felons, at least they can lead a decent life after their time is served.

Literally you can kill or rape someone and someday be tolerated in society, but the stigma that goes along with mental illness tends to last a lifetime. Considering the fact that 80% of all humans will personally face some form of "mental illness" at some point in their life, it just doesn't seem right.

Yeah depression isn't usually all that held against someone it's the principal, you could have a nervous breakdown, come unglued for a little while, put it all back together but by then your reputation is ruined.

Once someone is labeled with anything slightly beyond depression, they might as well be a guinea pig for which ever doctor and pharmaceutical company get the benefit of profiting from their misfortune. Still to this day.

And "Nurse Scratchit" from One flew Over etc., doesn't have shit on how fucked up some of those "health care professionals" can be.

(The movie "Chattahoochee" is probably still more accurate)

Want to lose your faith in humanity?, work at the average "group home" for just a few months. Watch how these disabled people are "pimped" for government money, living like inmates, while the owners of the group home live like kings.

More sad, quite a few people who were once thought to be severely mentally ill with a lifetime prognosis, have made full recoveries and have somehow struggled on to build productive lives. Think of how many got over medicated, and couldn't even detoxify enough to display their sanity, stuck still wandering the halls of some facility as sane as anyone else, with little to no chance of anyone ever knowing or caring.

(Sorry for the rant you spend enough time being and/or working with the mentally ill, and seeing what they go through you kinda take it personal)

I dn't know much, but I know somethings. Remember the movie one flew over the coco's nest? Well, I was married to a psychiatric nurse for the criminally insane. I know a lot. Frontal parts of human brains are still cut out. Shock therapy is still done. Patients are thrown in hot showers.

No matter what... we will never know the full truth behind the CIA and their experiment... this is just another reason for countries to hate us even more...

If this is true i have no idea why we can't ban together and take things into our own hands.

only in America

Truth is often a-lot more scary than fiction..

My first impulse is to go right in to denial . Some twisted people enjoy torturing others . We need to identify these people and not allow them free reign .

I have been attempting to tell people about this for years, but they always shoot me down as some kind of liberal minded conspirator. In the information age, now appear the horsemen of America's past, reports brought to the surface hidden by years of dust that prove how dishonest we have been in our pursuits. To merely state that "the end justifies the means" is one thing, but what if your child had been tortured, molested, or killed?

People advocate monstrous practices without comprehending what they mean for those who carry them out and the victims. What is the point in executing a man for killing a hundred children if we let another man go who did the same, just because he worked for the government while he murdered innocent kids? Someone who murders repeatedly, is what many call and secretly aspire to be in America, a serial killer.

Justice is made to appear more blind to me each and every single day. Though it is only blind to the idea of itself, so it stops to lift up its' blindfold now and again to sweep some atrocious matters underneath the rug until the criminals responsible for them can make their way quietly to the grave without anyone knowing the wiser.

Terror to me, is not some Eastern Man tying his shoes on the subway or a mosque being built in my neighborhood, but ending up in one of these torture chambers without anyone to help me, only the cruel eyes of my torturers watching as I slip further and further into the recesses of my own mind to escape them, losing all that makes me human, and them losing all that makes them human.

We have come so far to still rely on the barbaric tortures of the past to carve the out our futures. Perhaps, not even our futures, but the futures of a particular regime which we dare not confront in this country just as tyrannical as any dictator who has ever lived. Right and Left, four years a term, I would see no difference in each candidate if I were certain they were all Klu Klux Klan, and likewise as they advocate torture and misuse government power to meet their own ends rather than the peoples' I see no difference in them all as being tyrants.

Sick. how is this different from the experiments nazis performed? They should prove the benefits by experimenting on their own body first.

It is a dirty business, but sometimes the ends justify the means. I think "out of sight, out of mind" is the way to go when it comes to the intelligence community. I think I feel safer assuming that the CIA tortures people, than to know they don't torture anymore. As for the unwilling human guinea pigs--those "scientists" should be tortured themselves!

Fuck this country, we are more evil than we know.

jeez, i've been living under a rock.

hmn... someone want to keep me quiet?

In the 1950's my old man worked at the Los Alamos National Labs.
I had a little brother who was born with multiple defects and lived only a very short time. They wanted his body for study; when I tried to find his grave site a few years ago it did not exist. The church had no record of it. Plenty of unanswered questions there.
Nothing surprises me any more.

Nice one brah

This is not the entire article, I cut out some of the sections I found important and pertinent.

Everyone should go read the ENTIRE article either way!
