Title: Huge scale of A-bomb gene study revealed
Source: Kyodo
Date: April 23, 2012
Organ samples and medical records on more than 1,200 babies who were stillborn or died shortly after birth after being carried by mothers who survived the 1945 U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were sent to the United States for radiation research, a researcher in Hiroshima says.
[...] this is believed to be the first time that the scale of the study has been revealed because it was classified as military information and thus had been secret.
Hiroko Takahashi, an assistant professor at the Hiroshima Peace Institute, has said internal documents from the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology show that some 77,000 newborns were studied between 1948 and 1954. She estimates that tissue samples and records from more than 1,200 newborns were sent to the United States.
“Newborns were treated in the same way as guinea pigs for the study of nuclear weapons and radiation,” Takahashi said, adding that the “current radiation standard” is based upon that. [...]
Current standards based on study which concluded no genetic influence from radiation
[Takashi said] the “current radiation standard” is based upon [this study]
[...] The ABCC concluded after the research that there was no genetic influence stemming from radiation at that stage. [...]
“Almost 100 percent of the newborns in the city of Hiroshima were studied and if they died, an autopsy was performed on all of them,” a former Japanese researcher said.
Locating women who had a baby that was stillborn or died shortly after birth
The [Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission] took advantage of the food rationing system in place in Japan at the time, which gave priority to pregnant women, to obtain information on their whereabouts in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Most of the doctors and nurses there told the ABCC when newborns died because they were asked to cooperate.

The ABCC was pure evil. They gave no/minimal aid to people who were dying from radiation sickness/burns. Those people were merely statistics to them. There is a documentary on Youtube about it.

Let me remind you to Unit 731 which did also perform radiation experiments on their prisoners.
Additionally please read about American radiation experiments here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_radiation_experiments
The German's experimented with radiation on humans too and found that it was their method to sterilize women in their concentration camps.
The Ussr did their part too "45,000 people sent to Totskoye testing range died as a result of the test" (nuclear war simulation)
"Babies and Stillborns Used in Nuclear Experiments
British newspapers reported that some 6,000 stillborn babies and dead infants were sent from hospitals in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, South America, the UK and the US between the 1950s and 1970s without the permission of parents for use in nuclear experiments. " (Reuters 2001)
I would hold any bet that there are few nations who did not participate in similar "experiments". After all, they got to get the government guidelines on radiation doses from somewhere…
While these experiments and the way they got conducted is pure evil, there is a use for the data today. Medical knowledge is a highly lucrative trade, ethics are not important for the most part. Ethics do not matter to most governments, believe it or not.. we elect controllers who would fit into the description of "psychopaths" and believe me, they sleep well until it is them who have to justify their own actions. </rant>

I wonder if this is also related to the US setting up school lunch program for all Japanese children. That would also help them resolve control groups, case studies, and distribution relationships such as how many children that would be expected are missing numbers in data.
Report Comment
Just what school lunch program are you talking about? Was this just after WWII which Japan was short of food rations because of the war?
I think that we in the US have also been guinea pigs for all the above ground testing of atomic weapons, all the nuclear reactors, all the nuclear waste, and all the nuclear weapons processing. I lived 15 miles or less from the Santa Susana nuclear accident when the accident happened. And I lived less than 30 miles from Rocky Flats weapons plant.
Everyone who lives withing 50 or 100 miles of a nuclear power plant in the US is also a guinea pig. Unfortunately we are all the walking dead now. There is no way all the nuclear accidents in Japan and the US can be contained. There is no way to contain all the radiation vented from nuclear power plants and nuclear waste and uranium mining and nuclear weapons.
The Carrington effect is only a short time away. With the active aurora borealis in Minnesota on April 24, 2012, (see the off topic forum), this is a warning. And are the nuclear plants being shut down?

I'm so unhappy listening to the depths of pure evil surrounding these "goverment agencies." The USA was just as much a part of the evil, they probably arranged the program, after all it was the US that wanted the babies to study….sickening. I'm sure they are studing the babies still born to mothers who live near the gulf too. Some how I don't think all the studies have to do with improving the quality of life of those mothers…so what did they want to know…probably how to be more efficient murderers…hence the children of Iraq who are now suffering from the dirty bombs the US unleashed on them.

The tragedy is that we all get zapped with the radiation when they bomb a nuclear reactor. We are all losers. Either it's a fast death or a slow horrible death. And someone else is holding that choice in his or her hand. Makes me feel like an ant, busy, but just waiting to be squished.

U.S. bans it; Canada burns it: While many nations have banned MMT, we keep pumping it
“It is claimed to be a neurotoxin and to degrade the complex emission control systems that keep today's cars cleaner than ever before. The chemical in question is methylcyclopentadienyl manga-nese tricarbonyl or MMT, an organic manganese compound. Of late, MMT is, once again, getting a lot of attention, and rightly so.
“While MMT has been used in Canada since the late 1970s to boost the octane rating of unleaded gasoline (particularly after the removal of lead), the use of this fuel additive has been a controvesial topic since its introduction in the United States in 1976.
“Indeed, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency said the use of MMT represented a potential health hazard and moved to ban its use in 1977, and it has remained that way south of the border. Europe subsequently followed the U.S. lead. This means Canada remains one of the few countries to still embrace its use.
“This issue pits two formidable forces against each other. On the one side, Ethyl Corp., the sole purveyor of MMT, touts it as being safe; even claiming that a little manganese is good for us. While this may be true, as with all trace elements, more than a little can be lethal. It also claims that blending MMT with gasoline does not cause health problems or damage the delicate emission control systems used on today's cars.
Report Comment
[cont.]
“On the other side, public health professionals believe manganese is a neurotoxin and that releasing it into the atmosphere via exhaust emissions will cause nerve and brain damage in humans, especially children because of their closer proximity to the tailpipe. Critics also suggest Ethyl's claim that MMT is safe does not stand up to scientific scrutiny.
“In response to these concerns, the Canadian government instituted, in 1995, a ban on any further importation or transportation of MMT, which had until that time been permitted as a fuel additive in all provinces since 1978.
“Ethyl Corp. contested the ban with a lawsuit brought against the government. This action was made possible when Canada signed the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), as it allows private corporations to sue nations. Rather than face a messy scrap, the government paid a reported $20-million settlement to Ethyl Corp., wrote a letter of apology and agreed to withdraw the ban on MMT. As a result, it is still counted as one of the many chemicals added to the gasoline we pump today….”

Nor should one believe that the world's governments were not immediately apprised of the catastrophic situations. All were involved in the silence to the general public. If this were not so, countries would have been scrambling to the island and taking over that disaster, in the interest of the world's populace.
The government community is worldwide, operating by its own "rules" – and separate from the public community, to which carefully planned scenarios and information releases are provided. We are all test subjects and workers in the government plan.

"..“Chinese government has carried out 46 nuclear explosions in the Lop Nor area. Actually it wasn't, it was much in the northwest and very close to residential areas. Only 120 kilometers away from Turpan, for example. Because of this secrecy, probably we will never find out exactly how many people died.”
These 46 tests – 23 conducted in the atmosphere and 23 conducted underground – are the largest series of nuclear tests conducted in a populated area. The three biggest of these 46 tests generated much more radioactivity than the Chernobyl disaster.
Between 1997 and 1998, the number of cancer patients in the regional hospital of Xinjiang dramatically increased from 500 to about 2,000.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Most of the people in the region are too poor to access any medical help.

"….[Antoinette de Jong, Journalist]:
“In the case of China, it seems that there is a lack of even acknowledging that these tests have taken place, that there is a problem, that there is medical data available, suggesting that there is an effect.”
Jun Takada, a Japanese physicist, has calculated that over 1.48 million people have been exposed to contamination over the 32 years that these tests were conducted, not including the estimated 190-thousand people who have died.
What concerns the human rights organizations are not just the consequences, but also the target for these tests.
They were conducted in a region that has been historically mistreated by the Chinese regime.
Xinjiang, with its mostly Uighur population, has been controlled by the Chinese regime since 1949.
Numerous human rights violations have been reported in the region – from suppression of culture and religion to severe mistreatment like torture and even organ harvesting.
Uighurs themselves believe the testing site was chosen deliberately…."

Doctor Claims Disabled People Used as Human Guinea Pigs in Nuclear Experiments
Suspicions that people with sever disabilities were used as human guinea pigs during British nuclear tests at the Maralinga Test Site in Australia in the 1950s were revived in June. According to the allegations, a control group was flown to the British test site as part of an experiment on the effects of radiation on humans. The group died after being exposed to the radioactive fallout.

1990 Book by Catherine Caufield on “Multiple Exposures” The Chronicles of the Radiation Age. P136 In 1945 The US nuclear installation at Hanford secretly released 340,000 curies of radioactive iodine, the official figures for the accident at Three Mile Island was 15 curies. P137 In one planned experiment in December 1949 5,500 curies of radioactive iodine was released over eastern Washington and Oregon with no attempt to warn civilians. P219 In 1958 John Dunster who designed Windscale’s discharge programme in the UK said the intention had been to discharge fairly substantial amount of radioacivity as part of an organised and deliberate scientific experiment.Since 1952 Windscale (Sellafield) has discharged over a quarter of a ton of plutonium into the Irish Sea.

Injecting the placenta’s of pregnant women with radioactive materials to observe the effects on the babies after birth. Taking of bones of dead babies for research (radiation destroys bone marrow) and withholding babies bodies from families wanting to bury their children. There were many other reports of these experiments in several newspapers and on TV.

I feel so very sorry for those parents not being allowed to bury their children but learning that their babies found their resting place on a waste dump of a lab abroad.

Don't forget who grabbed all the reports generated by German concentration camp human experiments. Was US army or other allied forces. Bayer which was also involved is a household word throughout the world. War is hell. But I think the point not to be overlooked is that US government must have secret accurate info on all aspects of radiation damage. I was talking to a young man who had his medicinal mj permit up here in Canada due to major cancer and I asked him if the doctors could say why he had such extreme cancer for such a young person and he told me his doctor told him that he likely was unlucky and got an especially strong piece of radioactive fall out from a bomb test but the doc made it clear he wasn't supposed to say that and he would never say that officially. So people have known about this sort of thing for years but are pressured by the powers that be to keep there mouths shut. The official word is we don't know why cancer rates have rose in the later half of the 20th century. But really they do. Criminal.

Yes,…my Primary knows,…I can tell. He doesn't deny anything I say or point out. Especially when I say, "Dr.Dovre is over there (at local hosp), catching still borns, night and day,…and you guys ARE talking about 'it',…just not to us!" I comment on all the other patients out in the waiting room,…hair falling out, skin eruptions, coughing, sore throats, the runs,….a real 'pattern', 'constellation of symptoms', if you will, all nearly identical to one another. Here in Northern Cali,…you'd have to be blind in one eye, and unable to see out of the other (eye), not to see it!

As you say the medico's must know. Where are all the scientists,lab staff,doctors and nurses who were/ are intimately involved in collecting the data? These are good people made to do vile things. We must support people like Bradley Manning and Julian Assange. They may be flawed human beings ( aren't we all) but they have pitted themselves against huge powers and resources to lift the curtain obscuring the truth. If we don't take an active stand to support these people then anyone thinking that they should tell about things they've seen or done that they know is wrong will be too scared to speak out!
I find it incredible that no medical association is protesting about the radiation limits being lifted; That no church is saying you can't do this to children; that no government in the world has banned Japanese imports ? I feel like I'm going mad in my own little cyber world.

Mad cow case found, but meat supply deemed safe
U.S. officials announced a case of mad cow disease in a dairy cow in California. It is only the fourth such case detected in the U.S. since the first case was identified in 2003.
Q: Is it safe to drink milk or eat beef?
A: Yes. The new case is a dairy cow, and officials say the disease can't be transmitted in milk.

Newborns were treated in the same way as guinea pigs for the study of nuclear weapons and radiation,” Takahashi said, adding that the “current radiation standard” is based upon that
How can they do a proper study when the mix of types of radiation is totally different and we know that the radiation posted by TEPCO and governments were much lower than the actual amount.
All so the studies in 1945 were primary for military external radiation not internal. Do a search for USA military studies of effects of radiation and you will see that the study was on exposure to troupes and that is the safe value they have put on radiation exposure since then. This really opens your eyes to see how low of radiation exposure is avoided for even extreme requirements of life and death in battle.
