  • This public domain film was obtained by a freedom of information request from the Department of Defence, and converted to digital; it may be freely disseminated. The objective here was "military incapacitation", which is not quite the same as knocking someone out. The ideal incapacitant will not cause any lasting adverse health effects from exposure.
    The dreamboat/medical officer seen in this film is Dr. James Ketchum. I loved his memoir on chemical warfare, see here: amzn.to/2Ui73am (Chemical Warfare Secrets Almost Forgotten: A Personal Story of Medical Testing of Army Volunteers). I don't know if it's still available, but if you want I can send you a PDF of the book.
    This film captures what happened when four test subjects were given different doses of the incapacitating chemical 3-Quinuclidinyl benzilate (BZ) in order to test their ability to adequately perform military tasks.

    My grandfather was subjected to crap like this in the Army, when he was 18, he got sick, they told him he had six months to live, gave him a pension and an honarable discharge,
    this was back in the late 1940's, he lived to be 92 still collecting that pension.

      Please tell him this.Want to go to heaven? Trust Jesus Christ Life, death, burial, and Resurrection alone. His death on the cross for your sins. Yes you can't be saved unless you acknowledge that you're a lost sinner and that you deserve hell, and that Jesus Christ died for your sins.. all you have to do is trust in him asking him to forgive you and save you and you can spend eternity in heaven with God. It's personal. You can have his righteousness transferred to your account so you don't have to be judged for your own sins instead you get judge based on his righteousness. Don't trust mary, don't trust your church membership, don't trust your good works/goodness. Salvation is in Jesus Christ alone nothing more. Eternal life is a free gift and Jesus paid it All. Christians are good because we love him, not to earn our way to heaven. There is so much fake christianity, many people who have tried to work their way to heaven as a fake Christian will get cast down to hell because they're trusting in their own good works and not Jesus Christ alone.

    If you want to really know what happened to these soldiers and many other unsuspecting enlisted men, I suggest reading "Secrets of Edgewood" by The New Yorker. These soldiers had absolutely no idea or given very vague descriptions they were being drugged, what the drugs were, the side-effects of the drugs during the testing, the lasting physical and/or psychological side-effects (suicide, depression, neuro-muscular disorders, psychosis, etc.), and NONE were given post-testing follow-up care or consideration. These men did not do this as voluntarily as you think. Top brass is very persuasive to inferiors ("You signed up for this, so do it") so that they kowtow to demands. I'm glad you thought this propaganda was so interesting that you spent a mint on it. You should be glad it wasn't you getting pricked by Colonel "Dreamboat" Ketchum.

      Falling down, thats something else we did, and we did it well. Hard to fight laying down...
      Imagine what we felt as we moved into an area where it was either suit up all hot or risk exposure. Funny, no one seems to mention the heat of those charcoal suits, the weight. How it was hell to eliminate , how much time we spent in decontamination, the reduced diet, the fear that at any turn of the cards we would actually be going live...
      live or is it memorex was a joke, like the one about brushing something off your shoulder and it was the ground.

      Skip forward a few years-
      Imagine trying to get a civilian Dr to look at the rash, the welts, scars or avoid mental health involvement if you dare talk about any side effects that are chemically induced, years ago. They got to go look that one up lol.
      lolz iN 1976 When chemical and bio researcher Dr Beverle Meade told me I was a test subject I figured it was all over. No way! More stalling from Uncle Sugar. a LOT MORE.
      I will NEVER forget the Dr in Omaha that did the Gas chromatograph back in 2005 . Or the phone call from Offutt,
      What he said was "You have something in the system that simply CANNOT EXIST." Then the emergency call from Offutt. He shrugged, I left. wtf

      @@thelukesternater This is actually BZ, an anticholinergic drug. It inhibits the action of acetylcholine that of which its psychotropic properties are responsible for basic cognition and creating your image of the world as you see it. This is not like lsd in any way, the hallucinations are of a psychotic nature, (eg: seeing things that are not there, hearing voices that are not there, "plucking" or "picking" at perceived parasites or bugs) and exhibits a unique inhibition of proper expression of emotion or language, or "speaking in tongues," characterized by an accute and total stupor. If you have ever heard of Jimson Weed, this is very similar. I have experience with Anticholonergic poisoning, and while I find it interesting, it is in no way fun. I would consistently forget what I was thinking and often found my self in completely different rooms, wondering how I got there, and sometimes be seemingly texting on my phone or playing video games only to open my eyes and realize none of it was real, and then returning to an amnesiatic stupor.

Zadrozny’s second wife told me that he had never seemed that bothered by his time at Edgewood. It is fair to believe that his violent meltdown, more than three decades later, had nothing to do with BZ.

      They continued the testing for quite a while after this was done. In 1972 I was in a testing program MKUltra when I was 18 or so. New incapacitants were being tested.
      I "vollunteered" for Special Leadership testing and was a top graduate.
      The drugs eventually destroyed my ability to be a viable asset to the CIA but I made it farther than anyone when it came to crawling to a target.., Hell, maybe I am proud. I was the first to wake up many times and I assume my squad hated my guts. Sorry guys, it was a mess.
      I am telling the story for my buddies. Funny how no reports of death have filtered out, yet. Watch this space.
      Yes, they knew the facts but with modern drugs maybe something will eventually work right. look at what we tested one time, vistral, versed. Both are exellent for eliminating unpleasant memories....short term.
      What works better? Hmmm.
      maybe crawling that extra few feet saved our nation.
      Would I do it again? Probably not now, I know what it is like and I DID not like it much.

      Riot control? It might cause a riot. BZ proved to have limited value and was basically a training agent in small doses by the seventies...more on that later. We trained on LSD because we could shape up and report for duty on Monday , the actual chemicals, well you know what I am saying.. one whiff and I was out of it for years. Completely.

      Using a hallucinogen as BZ in war serves two purposes. Create confusion which hopefully immobilizes the enemy, and if you're lucky, they'll turn their weapons on themselves or their fellow soldiers.

    They still use drugs on soldiers to this day, when I was in the army, I was subjected to a truth serum drug when I was a suspect in multiple arson crimes being committed in the battalion. My Commander drugged me up by throwing a white powder in my face , then interrogated me for hours. I was cleared of the crimes when the answers I was giving led them to believe I had nothing to do with the fires. It took a long time for the memories of the event to come back to me because I had amnesia from the drug. I now suffer from mental illness and I cant connect my mental health problems To the VA because they swept the whole event under the rug. No one believes my story at the VA.

    The effects on the max dose subject mirror those of someone with stage 5+ dementia. I wonder if there were issues with incontinence or receiving nourishment. If this is truly something that makes people exhibit short term dementia, could it be used to possibly find treatment for the symptoms of the disease? Very interesting.

    • @smolsand
      @smolsand 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      This is an anticholinergic agent. Long term treatment with Benadryl, which is not even primarily an anticholinergic, has lead to increased rates of dementia etc. I suspect that it’s a common thing for anticholinergics as cognitive dysfunction is a major side effect as well. I feel like it probably has a secondary relationship over a primary relationship to dementia. I’m not sure how extensive the research is on this though.

    Honestly I’d try it, it looks like datura or diphenhydramine but remarkably cleaner, no mention of convulsions or seizure activity, while lasting about as long as a high dose datura experience can last. Ironically this chemical weapon is arguably safer and more desirable than its nearest more commonly used “recreational” equivalent. Yknow, if you’re into that.
    Safe to assume similar trials were conducted with substances like LSD during the research at Edgewood. As well as testing mustard gas and other horrifically unpleasant chemical weapons, likely on some of the same military volunteers. Imagine taking a unprecedented amount of LSD and then having mustard gas blown in your face, that’s scarier than the effects of any single drug, hands down.
