A professor doing research on U.S military experiments on African-Americans made a startling discovery.
The U.S Government purposefully infected hundreds of people with Syphilis, Gonorrhea and other STDs as part of a military experiment prompting Hilary Clinton to apologize for the incident.
Our wonderful government tells people in Guatemala we are sorry for intentionally infecting your people with sexually transmitted diseases, specifically Syphilis, Gonorrhea and other diseases.
In the CNN report U.S. apologizes for Intentionally infecting Guatemalans with STDs the Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Secretary of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius called the action “reprehensible”.
The official statement according to CNN reads.
“We deeply regret that it happened, and we apologize to all the individuals who were affected by such abhorrent research practices. The conduct exhibited during the study does not represent the values of the United States, or our commitment to human dignity and great respect for the people of Guatemala.”
Really? Is that why CNN is also reporting the same study was conducted on African American inside the US which intentionally gave those people STD’s as well.
Hmm? I wonder how AIDS and Lyme’s disease just appeared out of nowhere after billions of years of evolution. Wouldn’t have anything to do with the Government’s secret biological weapons research would it?
I haven’t done it yet, but one poster writes:
I’m only writing the truth cnn what’s with not allowing me to post the truth?people google
MKULTRA(a cia program,dr sidney gottlieb(head of the program),sese seko(contracted by the cia to become president for life in zaire(former congo),and what this country was doing to poor countries with liberation movements,cnn you are foul for censoring the truth!!
Another comment reads:
BS CNN!straight BS. The people should know who Dr donald M. McArthur is!
The people should know that in 1969 he told a house subcommittee on appropriation that in 5 to 10 years there would be a disease that attacks the immune system,and ten years later the first cases of AIDES were reported.
And another
Why are people acting so surprised??
Have you people ever heard of the Tuskegee experiment??
Black people were terrorized right here on american soil by real americans!!
And another
Also it is absurd to apologize for anything other than farting when your soldiers are being ordered to kill other human beings!
So people who are obviously inacapable of understanding logic better not ever apologize, especially for something 70 God dam years ago.
Apologize publicly for something again you Obama Administration idiots. I dare you!!
You are a conducting a war, do you want to apologize for killing people? You just did!! You morons!!! Unless you believe administering STDs is worse than killing other human beings.
NOTHING IS!!! That does not mean we should not be in Afghanistan fighting, either. It just means quit playing mind games with our soldiers Hillary, Kathy and Mr. President. Do you think they are stupid?
They are thinking just what I stated. Questioning their jobs now
MSNBC adds the following to the story.
In addition to the apology, the U.S. is setting up commissions to ensure that human medical research conducted around the globe meets “rigorous ethical standards.” U.S. officials are also launching investigations to uncover exactly what happened during the experiments.
The episode raises inevitable comparisons to the infamous Tuskegee experiment, the Alabama study where hundreds of African-American men were told they were being treated for syphilis, but in fact were denied treatment. That U.S. government study lasted from 1932 until press reports revealed it in 1972.
According to Reverby’s report, the Guatemalan project was co-sponsored by the U.S. Public Health Service, the NIH, the Pan-American Health Sanitary Bureau (now the Pan American Health Organization) and the Guatemalan government. The experiments involved 696 subjects — male prisoners and female patients in the National Mental Health Hospital.

After the subjects were infected with the syphilis bacteria — through visits with prostitutes who had the disease and direct inoculations — it is unclear whether they were later cured or given proper medical care, Reverby notes. While most of the patients got treatment, experts estimate as many as a one-third, did not.
Secret testing of Guatemalans may renew minorities mistrust
The STD experiments were conducted with the cooperation of the Guatemalan government. During that time, the U.S. — which had a long association with the Guatemalan military — exerted a powerful influence in the Latin American country, largely in order to protect the interests of the American-based United Fruit Company. In 1954 the U.S. CIA helped overthrow Guatemala’s democratically elected president because of land reforms that opposed the multinational corporation.

Reverby, who has written extensively about the Tuskegee experiments, found the evidence while conducting further research on the Alabama syphilis study.
Wow, so if the professor didn’t blow the whistle on the U.S Government intentionally infecting people with STDs the world would never even know.
The said thing in all of this? Only a small fraction will ever learn the truth.
