Top secret US military plans to test deadly nerve gas by dropping it on soldiers in a remote Queensland rainfo

What DO you Americans think of your fantastic nation. (11:00 AEST Sat Jul 5 2008

6 hours 9 minutes ago

By Ross Coulthart, SUNDAY

Newly declassified Australian Defence Department and Prime Minister’s office files show that the United States was strongly pushing the Government for tests on Australian soil of two of the most deadly chemical weapons ever developed, VX and GB — better known as Sarin — nerve gas.

The plan, which is disclosed for the first time on tomorrow’s SUNDAY program on Nine, called for 200 mainly Australian combat troops to be aerially bombed and sprayed with the chemical weapons — with all but a handful of the soldiers to be kept in the dark about the "full details" of the tests.

A former senior official with then Prime Minister Harold Holt, Mr Peter Bailey, tells the program that as far as he knows the tests never went ahead but the planning was very advanced.

He admitted the whole operation was to be kept secret because use of such weapons was almost certainly illegal under international law at the time.

Update:

MAnda.. , I learnt martial arts to benifit a back injury, and the consequential depression that followed. At one stage of my life, I was very angry and hurt, the exercise sure gave me confidence against a would be aggressor, but this was a fringe benefit to the spiritual and emotional calm that I generate each morning in contemplation. I never threw a punch in anger, however in my time I have caught many punches that were to hit other people.

The Illuminati keeps out fiscal interest safe, Indonesia! Its more like those poor survivors of the Titanic bobbing in the water trying desperately to climb aboard the life-boats assured to the rich. The world is overpopulated, virtually every nation has reached a population density that their land can no longer support, the exceptions, Greenland, Canada, new Zealand, USA, and arguably Australia.

You are clever clearly a smart girl, what do you suppose the effects of a nuclear blast would do. If you were faced with it!

Update 2:

Nuclear weapons must never be provoked. It opens a can of worms that in the 60's bought the world to the very brink of war. They cannot be used in a manner that protects innocent civilians at the same time as hitting nominated targets. They are instruments of genocide.

As I have stated, in this post or another, we are actually at the brink of breaking through fiscal policy, There is great opportunity for advancements in energy technology, which if the world spent half its Millitary budget on, would have already arrived. If your gonna be all left wing and radical, why not argue for this course. And it is radical what you are proposing, radical and alarmist.

You debate very well, but think about where your arguments lead. I cannot condone a course of events that lead closer to war. Especially with our embattled, neighbours, or a super power. Think about what is right, we are actually in a position to be a morale leader in our region, best not jeopardise that.

    Americans are sadly optimistic when they believe their govt. is not capable of such actions...we sprayed our own soldiers with Agent Orange not so long ago. Don't take their disbelief as an insult, the American people are not truly represented by their govt., there are some very kind and caring people over here. We really believe our own propaganda that we are good people, so its hard to believe anyone would do these things, especially those we've elected.

    I think America IS a fantastic nation! Stories about the U.S. military testing one nasty weapon after another on innocent people are all over the place. This is obviously one of those stories. Have you ever noticed that these stories always seem to be "Top Secret". And that no one seems to really know where exactly these stories come from and that the reported "tests" never actually happened but were always "very advanced". Does the name Alex Jones mean anything to you? This story literally stinks of him. So why do this? Easy, the U.S. is the sole remaining superpower and there are people who simply cannot stand that fact. America is hated because we are the richest nation in the world and that makes us the biggest target for ridicule as well. I've had the good fortune of actually driving across this country, twice. We are a good people, and in no way resemble what some detractors say about us. Besides, if we were such a horrible nation, why does 80% of the worlds population want to come here? Some one has been reading too many comic books and selling what they've read as news.

    As an Aussie, if true, (I would like to see the papers myself) I'm disappointed in the US of that day (I would also be disappointed with the Australian government of the day - once again using Aussies as guinea pigs - seemingly not learning anything from Maralinga in northern South Australia (in the 1950's).

    As an Aussie, in the time since, I would also hope that we have all moved on!

    I have provided the link to the story below, so that people may view it before coming to a conclusion either way!

    Hmmm, I remember you arguing most earnestly with a guy called Thor and arguing my answer calling me mad just recently.

    I will tell you now, this kind of **** by Americans is the reason why I said Australia should have our own nuclear program.

    We can't depend on America to provide us with security and defense. Why? Because they're bastards, they only think about themselves and can't care less about others, ally or not.

    It's ridiculous to hang on to alliance with America when that country is way across the ocean. I don't say to revoke the alliance, I just say it's stupid if we depended on them solely for many things and not being self independent ourself, free from their influence (be it economy or military).

    We see that most of the US influence has been negative for Australia in the past decade.

    They dragged us into their stupid war and their economy influence has been the one that give us all the stupid privatizations and even the impact we had from the subprime mortgage crisis

    Australia should have a self preservation approach. One that show we are capable of defending ourselves THANK YOU and try your own sarin gas on your own people (like the allegation of exactly that happening in the first Gulf war)

    Being next to a nominally stable country like Indonesia and close enough to the growing juggernaut China, it's just logical that Australia has their own nuclear weapon.

    And as I said, it's easy to acquire one since China depended on us to provide the uranium, it's just natural if we ask them to provide us with some of their technology in exchange.

    You talked about yourself learning martial art. I believe one of the reason will be so that you won't be bullied.

    I believe this story along with that reason actually strengthen my argument rather than revoking it.

    There's the need to have the 'weapon' to defend oneself in case the so called 'power of word' failed. Which often the case when it comes to international affair.

    Did you really think Saddam Hussein wanted the war? You check the 'REAL' history.

    He was opening Iraq to the weapon inspector prior to the invasion. He wanted to show that he didn't have any weapon at all. He's a bastard, but he's not a dumb bastard that wanted a war with country like US. He basically used the 'power of word' there, we all know what happened.

    We know why North Korea is not being touched right? or why Pakistan actually got money from US instead of being invaded.

    And seriously, if a volatile nation like Pakistan actually never fired their nuclear at India after that long conflict, I believe Australia (which is far more stable than those two) will have better control if we have one too.

    Eden was Earth before the Jews arived.

    It was a peaceful prospeous Planet.

    Hell is what the Jews want to make out of this place, hence the Order of the Illuminati ==> The ones to set the World on Fire.

    And don't get me wrong, this has nothing to do with religion.

    There are 13 Bloodlines who interbreed with each other.

    Interbreed means brother marrys sister, mother marries son.

    Isn't that a sin by all religious standards?

    And they can all be genetically traced back to 4 females in egypt 14.400 years ago.

    They call themselfs the Illuminati and they are the Royal Bloodlines.

    They created Religion which is controlled by the "Freemasons".

    The Freemasons are the "Brotherhood of Death" and they try to Install a Deathwish into society.

    They want to die and they want to take us all with them.

    Now they have a new Weapon.

    This Weapon is called H.A.A.R.P. and it is located in Alaska.

    What they do is they sent a 1.000.000.000. Watt Microwave into the Ionosphere which then bounces back and can create earthquakes storms and can burn us all.

    It is based on Nikola Tesla's patent.

    The earthquake in china/sichuan was created by them because strange unseen phenomenon were recordet just before the earthquake happened.

    You can all research it and I would be happy if you do.

    People need to get educated A.S.A.P. becaus knowledge is power and the "Freemasons" want you to be stupid.

    That's why they call us "Profane Goyim" or sheep/cattle to the slaughter.

    What happens is this.

    The Jews landet on this planet 14.400 years ago.

    They come from a race called the Annunaki.

    They created Religion and hide themself and their knowledge in the Occult.

    The Freemasons and the Wicca are the Occult and every "Magic" Ritual is spoken in Hebrew.

    Research history and you find that every War is started by Jews/Freemasons and was sponsored by Jews i.e. the Rotschild and Rockefeller, J.P. Morgan Kuehn & Loeb.

    Devide and Conqer.

    Divide the World into Nations and Religion and thus confuse the "Gentiles","Goyim","Profane", that are there names for us!

    Fuel Nationalism and Ignorance and make sure that every leader comes from a secret society and thus answers to the Rotschilds.

    Control Money, Religion and Leadership.

    Create poverty and fuel hatred.

    Channel this hatred like in Germany against the Jews.

    Make Wars and kill them all.

    The Word "Holocaust" actually means "To sacrifice a child".

    And that is what war really is, it is the death of children who are young and strong and thus a threat to them.

    All the weapons manufacturers are Jewish owned and staffed.

    Thus the Jews create one "Holocaust" after another.

    The ones who survive will obey everything they say.

    They will be happy Slaves or consumers and workers as they say.

    On December 21 2012 there will be a major problem.

    All Planets of our Solarsystem will align to the center of the Universe.

    That also means that all gravitational forces wil align and push into one direction.

    That means earthquakes and floods.

    Also our world will be in Darkness for 21 days.

    We have Time to prepare for it but Bush who is a Rotschild and a Jew and Britain and Israel want to create WWIII so that we can not prepare and so that we all die.

    Needless to say that they prepared well for this.

    They will be save when we will be dead.

    This is the Truth and you can choose to be Ignorant or you can choose to RISE up.

    Do NOT beleive me.

    Do your own research, you will find the same as I did.

    How long ago was this? The US tested the effects of nukes on US soldiers in the 1950s, so I'd be more likely to believe it if you could provide a date.

    I think you need to cite your source when copy and paste an article or else it is plagiarism.

    Why did you only copy the first of the article, why not the whole thing?

    edit:

    Agent orange was used to kill vegetation in the jungle during Vietnam but it also had health risk (links to cancer, and birth defects). US Vets filed a lawsuit against the manufactures and won in the 80's.

    To all those who think this is rubbish - this is real news reported by reputable journalists/multi billion dollar media groups - why not check out:

    or;

    This is what the US wanted to do to a country that has supported it in EVERY major world conflict.

    The US elite typically have no regard for anyone not part of their club. They have never been above war, murder or deciet and this is yet another example of their activities.

    I think it is also very telling that some US responders to this question think it is a lie or a conspiracy theory. ("They would never do such a thing!!!") The US government has done far worse than this (Iran, Central America, Iraq etc), but they ignore the evidence and think their noble leaders are simply too virtuous to do such a thing.

    The Sunday Programme isn't some paranoid UFO blog, it is a respected news show. I haven't seen the report so I cannot comment on its validity. But it isn't the 1st of April, ya know.

    the best thing the americans have done is make people believe that they dont get up to things like this, that its just conspiracy theories. what about testing gas on their own citizens in chicago, pumpin it out of the buses.
