<strong>The</strong> <strong>Big</strong> <strong>Lie</strong>” 9/<strong>11</strong> <strong>and</strong> the <strong>Government</strong>’s<br />

<strong>Complicity</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Mass</strong> <strong>Murder</strong><br />

last year by an advisory panel, under proposed relax<strong>in</strong>g of rules soon to be issued<br />

by the Environmental Protection Agency. 154<br />

<strong>The</strong> rules would omit some provisions urged by<br />

the National Academy of Sciences last year that<br />

would have imposed more str<strong>in</strong>gent limits on<br />

such studies. <strong>The</strong> agency would allow the<br />

exercise of loopholes to test pesticides on<br />

humans to determ<strong>in</strong>e at what level they<br />

become toxic. This could <strong>in</strong>clude tests on prisoners even though they might be<br />

vulnerable to coercion. Hidden deep with<strong>in</strong> the guidel<strong>in</strong>es were levels of<br />

exceptions to allow test<strong>in</strong>g on abused or neglected children without parental<br />

consent, “ethically deficient” human research if it is beneficial to “protect public<br />

health,” <strong>and</strong> if there is more than m<strong>in</strong>imal health risk to a subject if there is a<br />

“direct benefit to the child be<strong>in</strong>g tested <strong>and</strong> the parents agree. 155 How can any<br />

child benefit to direct exposure to pesticides? Senator Barbara Boxer from<br />

California claimed <strong>in</strong> protest to the abhorrent rules: “<strong>The</strong> EPA proposed rule on<br />

human test<strong>in</strong>g has several large loopholes that underm<strong>in</strong>e the very purpose of the<br />

rule. No wonder the pesticide companies are say<strong>in</strong>g such nice th<strong>in</strong>gs about it.” 156<br />

Coercive Experimentation on Mentally Retarded Children.<br />

In the 1950’s, the Atomic Energy Commission funded a 30 year study, a series of<br />

experiments where retarded children were fed porridge laced with radioactive<br />

milk at the Fernald school <strong>in</strong> <strong>Mass</strong>achusetts under the supervision of Harvard<br />

<strong>and</strong> MIT researchers. 157 Other less fortunate students at Fernald were selected<br />

for special “Science Clubs” <strong>and</strong> were given radioactive <strong>in</strong>jections of calcium <strong>and</strong><br />

iron to determ<strong>in</strong>e how it would affect metabolism. <strong>The</strong> letter of consent that was<br />

sent to the parents was extremely mislead<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> omitted crucial <strong>in</strong>formation<br />

about the experiments say<strong>in</strong>g that “the children would receive a special diet <strong>in</strong> an<br />

effort to study how the body absorbed cereals, iron <strong>and</strong> vitam<strong>in</strong>s." Radioactivity<br />

was never mentioned. 158 A task force later conducted by the <strong>Mass</strong>achusetts Task<br />

Force on Human Subject Research later determ<strong>in</strong>ed that the research, <strong>and</strong> the
