Radiation Blankets Pacific Northwest
For more than 40 years, Hanford released radioactive materials into our environment. This information was concealed until 1986, when public pressure forced 19,000 pages of documents to be released under the freedom of information Act. The most blatant known release occurred on Dec. 2, 1949 when the U.S. Air Force intentionally ejected three tons of irradiated uranium fuel into the atmosphere from Hanford in order to simulate a Soviet reactor release . This placed 7,800 curies of radioactive iodine, well-known to concentrate in human thyroids, into the air of the Pacific Northwest. The total release was 520 times greater than the Three Mile Island disaster.

Tuskeegee Syphilis experiments.
Carried out on black test subjects in five southern counties, for 44 years (until 1972). Heading up the experiments were the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS), the Tuskeegee Institute, all branches of the U.S military. Local health departments worked with the PHS to keep the study subjects from receiving treatment. Subjects were not told of the nature of their disease, were excluded from treatment with penicillin, allowed to die, then were autopsied in trade for funeral expenses paid to relatives. In December of 1974, the U.S. Government paid $10 million in an out of court settlement to the surviving subjects.

Police Violence on the Increase
Between 1977 and 1994 official complaints of police brutality have jumped from 977 to over 2,000 reported offences. In 1994 more than $24 million dollars was awarded in settlements or judgments to plaintiffs in police abuse cases. Similar rises have been reported in other U.S metro areas.

Forced sterilization in U.S. 1920-60
About 30 U.S. States also conducted forced sterilizations in the 1920s and 1930s. The practice generally stopped by the late 1940s amid revulsion over the Nazis' advocacy of selective breeding, although. Indiana - which carried out an estimated 2,000 involuntarily sterilizations - continued the practice into the 1960s.

Gulf War Syndrome Spreading
As reported in the LA Times, Sunday, March 9, 1997, Doctors and medical staff report that they have contracted the symptoms generally associated with "Gulf War Syndrome." Garth Nicolson, founder and biochemist at the nonprofit Institute for Molecular Medicine, where GWS is studied said: ``I lost four teeth and had part of my lower jaw removed...Everyone in this office has had Gulf War illness,'' Nicholson reported. Government spokesmen express skepticism, saying that there is little evidence to the allegations that Gulf War illnesses are spreading.
