EPA sued in federal court over illegal human testing Posted on September 24, 2012


Washington, DC – (Sep. 24) JunkScience.com announced today that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has been sued in federal court for conducting illegal life- and health-threatening scientific experiments on human subjects.


Based on information uncovered by JunkScience.com publisher and public health consultant Steve Milloy through the Freedom of Information Act, the nonprofit American Tradition Institute Environmental Law Center (ATI) sued EPA in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
Among other things, the lawsuit asks for:

  • EPA to be barred from conducting illegal life-and health-threatening experiments;
  • a formal investigation of EPA’s human experiments; and for
  • regulations based on the illegal experiments to be suspended pending an investigation.
“EPA has broken every law and violated every standard established since World War II and the Tuskegee syphilis experiments for the protection of human subjects in scientific experiments,” said Milloy. “That EPA administrator Lisa Jackson permitted this heinous experimentation to occur under her watch shocks the conscience,” Milloy added.

Were these paid volunteers?

"Based on thousands of pages of documents, many obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, the lawsuit alleges that EPA intentionally exposed at least dozens of unhealthy human study subjects to concentrated and elevated levels of air pollutants that EPA has determined are lethal, highly toxic and/or carcinogenic, including fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and diesel exhaust.
Many of the study subjects were health-impaired – that is, suffering from asthma or metabolic syndrome. Many were elderly, possibly as old as 75 years."

The government has always had a guinea pig testing facility utilizing humans.... In fact they have two. The US military, and the veterans administration. This is not news.

Unit 731 - Unlocking a deadly secret

Quote:
Finally, the old man, who insisted on anonymity, explained the reason for the vivisection: The prisoner, who was Chinese, had been deliberately ~ infected with the plague, as part of a research project, the full horror of which is only now emerging, to develop plague bombs for use in World War II. After infecting him, the researchers decided to cut him open to see what the disease does to a man's inside.

The human experimentation did not take place just in Unit 731, nor was it a rogue unit acting on its own. While it is unclear whether Emperor Hirohito knew of the atrocities, his younger brother, Prince Mikasa, toured Unit 731's headquarters in China and wrote in his memoirs that he was shown films showing how Chinese prisoners were "made to march on the plains of Manchuria for poison gas experiments on humans."

"[Mr. Landon Huffman] received a consent form that did not explain that he would be exposed to something that the EPA claims to be lethal. Nor was he ever informed that human experimentation was only supposed to be done in a manner that would potentially and directly benefit those subjected to human experimentation. Id at ¶ 3."

"[Mr. Landon Huffman] was lead to believe that the benefit of the experiment would be to help people with asthma, something from which he suffers. He was not informed that the pollution EPA was forcing into his lungs could actually cause him to have an asthma attack. Nor was he ever given anything from EPA that would possibly relieve his asthma."

...

"Wayne Cascio, Martha Sue Carraway, Andrew J. Ghio, Jon R. Sobus, Joachim D. Pleil and Michael C. Madden are self-identified by as EPA employees subject to oversight and management control by Defendant Lisa P. Jackson and are the EPA employees who personally ordered human subjects be placed into a gas chamber and exposed to a lethal gas."

This should come as no surprise. After all, Democrats have a very long history of experimenting on US citizens. From Truman's human experiments into nuclear radiation, to FDR's eugenics program with the Tennessee Valley Authority and Tuskegee syphilis experiments.
