Your Military Dollars At Work, Or From The Ridiculous To The Sublime!

[HARDCORE]

Maybe a major retail department store and the U.S. Military should partner-up when it comes to psychological tactics? (opinion)

It seems that this retail giant, a corporation that sells nearly everything from soup to nuts, has figured out (at least according to a story that I just saw), that during hurricanes, people tend to stock up on Strawberry Pop Tarts! (Now ain?t that an earthshaking revelation?)

Well, apparently this retail chain isn?t alone in their critical (?) human research. The military too, in their never ending quest to develop non-lethal weaponry (a non-lethal war, how about that!), is screwing around with novel and ingenious ways of incapacitating hostile troops upon the battlefield!

Of course, this is nothing new, even though the Army (and other services as well) have long denied these provable experiments, all the way back to the late 30s in fact. Back then, however, the boys in the soiled lab-coats and brass, experimented with a great variety of really nasty elements to lay low the enemy?s forces! These included venereal diseases, mustard gas, radiation, hallucinogenics and even toxic defoliants - you name it, and the military played around with it at one time or another!

More often than not, however these tests were conducted, not upon any enemy, but rather upon our own, unwitting troops!! (Ref: DAIG-IN 21-75, COS 385, Church Senate Reports of 1977 etc.) And in the event that you think that these ghastly experiments ceased after the Cold War ended, then maybe you had better talk with some of our people who served in Vietnam and in Gulf War I and II for a start!

And hey, according to a news piece that I just caught on the tube (TV), these incapacitating experiments are still going on, if on a milder (?) scale!!

Some of the military experiments, tests and demonstrations that have been conducted in the past, may have indeed been vital to our national survival, at least according to the nut cases conducting, approving or sponsoring them? But when million$ are spent on esoteric nonsense like remote viewing (ESP), and other such boondoggles, and at the same time, those same million$ are extracted from worthwhile programs (veteran and civilian alike), who then draws the line? ?Certainly not the Powers That Be!!?

Getting back to these (so-called) ?Non-lethal Wars of the Future?, as well as the fact that chemical warfare experimentation is still alive and well - would you believe that the military is now (at least according to the media), experimenting with aphrodisiacs, chemicals that will attract stinging bugs, and even a compound that will create halitosis (bad breath) in enemy combatants? (Mouthwash anyone?)

The latter (bad breath producing, aerosol drugs), are now being considered for use against our nation?s foes, in order to make these enemy soldiers more easily identifiable in civilian populations, or so the story goes? ?Like no civilian has stinky breath, right?? (Unbelievable!!)

I mean what the heck, at least ?Bum-Breath Experiments? beat the Hell out of the surreptitious use of LSD, BZ, Curare, radiation, and the inoculation experiments, utilized by our own, and against our own from the late 1930s thru Gulf War I, right?

?Now let me help the military out a bit by touching upon a few areas along these lines that they may have missed?? These include afflictions that can easily be transmitted to an enemy trooper through the air he breathes, the water he drinks, or even mixed in his field chow! ?Incapacitates that are sure to lay him low, or at the very least, decrease his combat efficiency....?

Our ?Two-legged Lab Rats In White Smocks? could always figure out a way of infecting an enemy with Jockstrap Itch (crotch rot), crabs or genital herpes, nasal drip, and even gas cramps, etc! ?Hey, at least if an enemy bum was flatulent, you could always locate him from the stench!!"

?One word of caution though - if we do figure out a way of giving an enemy a severe case of gas, no one had better light a match anywhere near the enemy?s position!!?
