Extreme human rights abuse: American human non-consentual experimentation today [Part I]
A historical United States human rights event occurred Tuesday, March 1, when the Presidential Commission for the Study on Bioethical Issues heard shocking statements from a handful of the many Americans being tortured through remote weaponry and Cointelpro-like tactics. Each tortured surviving victim presented evidence of extreme human rights abuses, pleading Obama to end horrendous military non-consensual human experimentation conducted on them and thousands of others like them today.
According to presentations made to the Bioethics Commission Tuesday, victim survivors need a Congressional investigation. They need their abuses documented and heard. They called for a major declassification of government documents hiding non-consensual human experimentation and counterintelligence operations targeting American citizens. Such declassification occurred during the Clinton administration revealing human rights abuses that shocked the nation.
An unethical U.S.-sponsored study in the 1940s prompted bioethics advisers to President Barack Obama to form an international panel to examine whether present laws adequately protect volunteers in global clinical trials. President Obama thus asked his Presidential Commission for the Study of Bioethical Issues to examine whether "current rules for research participants protect people from harm or unethical treatment, domestically as well as internationally."
Science AAS Magazine reported on March 1 that Obama also asked the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to investigate the Guatemala non-consensual human experimentation study. That study needed to be managed by the bioethics commission after the Institute of Medicine realized five of its members had been involved in the Guatemala research. The experiments were conducted "in secrecy by researchers who lied to their subjects and fretted that the program might be "wrecked" if it became public, as reported by USA Today.
In October, the U.S. government revealed that during the U.S.-sponsored study in Guatemala,
...doctors in the 1940s infected soldiers, prisoners, prostitutes and mental patients with syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases. All traces of the study, which involved as many as 1,500 men and women, lay buried in a University of Pittsburgh archive, among the papers of researcher John Cutler of the U.S. Public Health Service. Cutler, who died in 2003, would later carry on his syphilis research in Tuskegee. (USA Today)
Tuesday, the Obama bioethics commission, chaired by University of Pennsylvania President Dr. Amy Gutmann and vice-chaired by Emory University President James Wagner listened to American citizens allegedly forced into non-consensual human experiment, commonly referred to as "Targeted Individuals."
Each citizen was permitted one and half minutes to explain to the panel their shocking experiences of being tortured in the United States. They were also permitted to submit evidence of their torture experiences to the panel.
An attorney reminded the commission that international laws prevent the human rights abuses being secretly conducted.
Statistics were presented on numbers of American non-consensual human experimentation subjects reflecting thousands of known cases.
Among tortured victim survivors was Lisa Becker, an experimentee who presented evidence of burn marks to prove being no-touch tortured. (See Youtube, "Shocking evidence of no-touch tortured, burned woman presented to Obama," embedded and at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjcLRIFVRO0)
According to statements made by Ms. Becker, plus each surviving victim who presented to the panel Tuesday, and those unable to be at the hearing, they all live in hope that the American research program they have been forced to endure will be wrecked as it becomes public.
The question remains today whether mainstream media will take this program to the public in its best interest, or remain silent, and thus complicit, as it has for years of citizens providing it with evidence of this high-tech, remotely applied non-consensual human experimentation torture.
