///// JOINT QUARTERLY REPORT No. 3: /////
///// -- THE SPRAYING OF MINNEAPOLIS -- /////
///// /////
///// "THE REPORT STATES THAT THE `AEROSOL CLOUD STUDY' /////
///// INCLUDED SIXTY-ONE RELEASES OF THE FLUORESCENT /////
///// MATERIAL IN FOUR AREAS OF THE CITY. TENTATIVE /////
///// CONCLUSIONS ARE LISTED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE /////
///// REPORT: FIRST, /////
///// `Street-level dosage patterns are reproducible /////
///// in an essentially residential area.' /////
///// /////
///// SECOND, /////
///// `Similar patterns are obtained when the source /////
///// is located at a street intersection, on a roof /////
///// top, or in the middle of a block.' /////
///// THIRD, /////
///// `Of the penetration studies conducted in /////
///// residences and in the Clinton School, greater /////
///// degrees were obtained in the basements of houses /////
///// than in the upper levels; in the school building, /////
///// however, there was little difference in vertical /////
///// distribution of the inside dosages.' (p. 11). /////
///// /////
///// THE EXPERIMENT THUS INCLUDED MASSIVE EXPOSURE OF /////
///// PEOPLE IN THEIR HOMES AND CHILDREN IN THE SCHOOL. /////
///// YET, THE HUMAN DIMENSION IS NEVER MENTIONED, ONLY /////
///// CLINICAL DESCRIPTIONS OF THE AEROSOL -- ITS /////
///// `PENETRATION,' `DISTRIBUTION,' AND `DOSAGE.' /////
///// WHO WAS BREATHING THE MATERIAL, AND HOW MUCH, /////
///// SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN OF NO CONCERN. /////
///// /////
///// THE REPORT EXPLAINS THAT OPERATIONS DURING THE /////
///// THREE-MONTH PERIOD IN MINNEAPOLIS INVOLVED: /////
///// `eighty-one field experiment hours and eleven /////
///// thousand one hundred and seventy man hours, /////
///// including full-time and part-time personnel in /////
///// the field and laboratory.' /////
///// /////
///// EXPERIMENTS WERE CONDUCTED BETWEEN 8:00 P.M. AND /////
///// MIDNIGHT, AND BETWEEN 1:30 P.M. AND 5:00 P.M. (P.25). /////
///// THUS, HUNDREDS OF PERSONNEL WERE CARRYING OUT THE /////
///// EXPERIMENTS FOR MONTHS, WHEN PEOPLE WERE SLEEPING, /////
///// AT WORK, OR COMMUTING, WHEN CHILDREN WERE AT SCHOOL /////
///// OR PLAYING OUTDOORS. NO TIME, NO LOCATION, NO SEGMENT /////
///// OF THE POPULATION, WHETHER OLD, YOUNG, SICK OR POOR, /////
///// WERE EXEMPT FROM EXPOSURE TO THE ZINC CADMIUM SULFIDE /////
///// PARTICLES.. /////
///// /////
///// A SECTION OF FIVE PAGES OF THE REPORT IS TITLED, /////
///// `Public Relations,' /////
///// ALTHOUGH, IN FACT, MUCH IS DEVOTED TO PUBLIC /////
///// DECEPTION. FROM THE TEXT: /////
///// /////
///// `Advance meetings with the mayor of Minneapolis, /////
///// the Minneapolis City Council, and the Public /////
///// Utilities Committee were held in August and /////
///// September of 1952. ... The result of these /////
///// meetings was the extension of full cooperation /////
///// of various city departments to the field office /////
///// during the test program. ... It was the desire of /////
///// these departments to be prepared to dispel the /////
///// anticipated concern of citizens calling to report /////
///// unusual activities at unusual hours. [p. 26]' /////
///// /////
///// AT A GLANCE, THIS PASSAGE MIGHT BE TAKEN TO MEAN THAT /////
///// THE CITY OFFICIALS WERE INFORMED OF THE PURPOSE AND /////
///// METHOD OF THE TESTING ARRANGEMENTS. CAREFUL READING /////
///// OF THE REMAINING NARRATIVE INDICATES THAT THIS WAS /////
///// UNLIKELY. THE OFFICIALS EVIDENTLY HAD BEEN TOLD THAT /////
///// THE TESTS INVOLVED EFFORTS TO MEASURE ABILITY TO LAY /////
///// SMOKE SCREENS ABOUT THE CITY, BECAUSE THAT WAS THE /////
///// STORY RELEASED BY THE ARMY. THE SMOKE-SCREEN /////
///// EXPLANATION WAS CONCOCTED TO ALLAY SUSPICIONS ABOUT /////
///// THE STRANGE EQUIPMENT AND ACTIVITIES THAT PASSERSBY /////
///// MIGHT NOTICE. THIS MISINFORMATION EFFORT INCLUDED /////
///// PLANTING FALSE NEWS STORIES, LIKE ONE CITED BY THE /////
///// REPORT (ON P. 30) THAT APPEARED IN THE MINNEAPOLIS /////
///// TRIBUNE: /////
///// /////
///// `Government research has shown that even in an age /////
///// of radar-bombing, it may be desirable to hide /////
///// cities with smoke screens in the event of atomic /////
///// attack. It is not known if any smoke has been /////
///// released over Minneapolis. Several other cities /////
///// also are involved in the tests.'" /////

These utterly appalling and frightening words I have taken from the
actual wording of Public Law 95-79 which was sent to me by several
respondents.
Folks, you have a responsibility to verify for yourself that they have
issued a law authorizing the poisoning of you and your family. When you
and I become stricken by their bacteria from the sky, or when we fall
ill from their poisoning of our water supply, it will be too late to
prevent harm to us. In later episodes, I will post transcripts of
radio interviews with 1950's childhood victims of the U.S. Army's
secret bacteriological warfare attack upon the Clinton School in
Minneapolis. Those poor people have suffered severely all of their
lives with diseases wrought by that bacterial attack upon their
elementary school. Their lives have been severely damaged and curtailed.
Such a fate is probably in store for some of us throughout this land.
Whose school will they secretly spray next?
We just don't know in what part of the country the Government terrorists
will strike next. I guess we'll know when we see whole populaces fall ill.
The following passages from United States law were sent to me by
several inquisitive readers who wanted to verify what I had been
posting.
