> This is a crazy story, one that seems like it must be a conspiracy theory. Well, it is a conspiracy theory, isn't it? Just because it's true doesn't make it not a conspiracy theory.
The evidence means it isn't a theory.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
What I always found "fascinating" about conspiracy theories is how educated, smart people can be convinced by some of them. It's just something that I can't understand.
What seems to happen is that you come across a compelling set of evidence. The evidence is faked, or skewed heavily, but it might be hard to know this. And, as presented, the cases are usually pretty good. If you're unable to immediately dispute them, it isn't totally irrational to think they might be real. This is the reason I don't watch documentaries on modern "issues". The story presented is all very manipulated…
That's true of essentially any source but I don't know that becoming ignorant of anything that happened during your lifetime is the right answer.
The people of San Francisco had their personalities permanently altered through the Navy's inadvertent distribution of peace juice? The U.S. military created the hippie movement and ended the Vietnam war. Impressive. What other great wrongs can be righted through careful mass infection of populations?

I would hope NO state would do such a thing in the current time. We are well past the point in civilization to accept this type of action from any state or organization.
Pre 2001 a lot of people would claim that we are also against torture, extrajudicial kidnapping, secret trials, locking people up without trial, mass surveillance, and unprovoked wars. Things change. Just as between WWII and the cold war people likely claimed "we'll never let stuff like what the Nazi's did happen again!" then the country(s) feel threatened and the gloves come off.
Does this have anything to do with the measles outbreak and the ensuing vaccination/anti-vaccination debate in California?
The UK did the same between 1940 and 1979 in various tests with zinc cadmium sulphide, e.coli and bacillus globigii. I suspect these kind of things are largely the basis for the Chemtrails conspiracy theories. More: http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2002/apr/21/uk.medicalsc...
If you're curious about the chemtrail crowd, I'd recommend the "documentary" 'what in the world are they spraying' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf0khstYDLA It's one of the many conspiracy type videos out there, and I don't endorse the content in any way.. I just find this stuff fascinating
As if the logic gate in the brain suddenly stopped working.
They did indeed break the code, in particular, provisions 1 and 9 (it is unclear whether they implemented facilities for point 7 or not), however: they reasonably believed that the experiment was harmless (and they were mostly right, given the experiment's scale), and the data they collected would be very usable for saving civilian lives in case of bacterial attack. So, I'm not saying that it's OK, but it's unreasona…
