U.S. conducted STD experiments in Guatemala

[soblessed53]

I wonder how many would have INSISTED this info was nothing but an idiotic conspiracy theory if our government wasn't ADMITTING it?


U.S. government medical researchers intentionally infected hundreds of people in Guatemala, including institutionalized mental patients, with gonorrhea and syphilis without their knowledge or permission more than 60 years ago.
Many of those infected were encouraged to pass the infection onto others as part of the study.
About one third of those who were infected never got adequate treatment.

Just saw this. I'll never understand how there are some out there who say America has nothing to apologize for and that we're the greatest country ever.

This is case in point of just how wrong those people are.

Exactly!

"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."

It's not a surprise after Tuskegee.

Yeah,the real surprise is that any sane person can deny the blatant racism,and that our own government is guilty of such atrocities and even more!

Listen to them scream denials that H1N1 is a man-made pandemic virus despite all the evidence that is exactly what it is!

With our history it is incomprehensible that anyone would even think of saying that our government wouldn't/doesn't do such atrocities!

whats remarkable about this story is that it is being noticed by the genral public in the US. 10 years ago it would have sunk like a stone.

It still has time to sink like a stone.

I don't agree,some of have read George Orwell's 1984 and pay attention to the criminal trends of our government,because we believe and know the evils they will not hesitate to do!

On the other hand~there are also those who fully support and defend such actions!

Looks like Obama missed a country in his Apology Tour.

But really, this is just par for the course given our actions, even current day actions against South Americans.

Even today we use chemical warfare against South American farmers and their families.

We still are the greatest country. I don't think anyone ever claimed that we're perfect, but we're still great. That is proven by how many people lie, steal and cheat just to get here. I know I wouldn't live anywhere else. Those who think we're terrible are free to leave.

 

[FallenPaladin]

Our government does things like this with impunity. As long as the American people let it happen it will keep happening.

It is not as easy as you would like to make it sound.

Other countries dang sure aren't as welcoming as the US is! I would already be in Europe if it was so easy to become a resident.

You got it, and they will.

What about all the people who have always been here and still lie, steal and cheat? I guess some just lie, steal and cheat.

Those who think we're terrible are also free to assemble and protest....

You know who else conducted experiments? Hitler, that's who

That's right, and the majority of the German people stood by and allowed those atrocities,just as many in this nation would!

Our country, culture, way of life, liberties, ect...yes.

Our government, certainly not the best in the world. The government as designed, excellent. But that isn't the government we have today, and have had in a long time.

Its not so much lack of public knowledge or information availibility. Its a lack of public intrest.
Its not hard to find information on countless US atrocities all it takes is a web search and time to read.
