Nazis were still killing Americans after WWII
by Ryan Carboni 18 Jan '20

https://www.voltairenet.org/article167692.html Marvin Washington Brooks had been terribly ill for nearly three months. A year prior in early-1952, he had been diagnosed with cancer and had been admitted as “a patient for treatment” to the University of Texas Medical School’s M.D. Anderson Hospital. Brooks had served as an infantryman in the Army during World War II. He had received a Purple Heart for being wounded during the Battle of the Bulge. Not long after he was admitted to the M.D. Anderson Hospital, Brooks began to receive weekly treatment from a team of physicians led by an older doctor with a heavy German accent and three distinctive scars across his face. Brooks was told the treatment could significantly affect his cancer in positive ways. But Brooks had become increasingly ill, with constant vomiting, weight and hair loss, and patchy skin with large areas appearing as if severely sunburned. Within about six months of the weekly treatment, Brooks was in constant pain. He died the first month of 1955, two days before what would have turned 47 years old. Brooks was never informed that he was one of 263 cancer patients who were secretly being experimented upon with “whole body irradiation.” Brooks, nor his wife or family, had ever been consulted about the experiments. Nor had Brooks, or anyone else, given the hospital permission to experiment on him. Nobody ever told Brooks, or anyone in his family, that the German physician who saw him weekly was Dr. Herbert Bruno Gerstner, a former Nazi doctor who had been secretly brought to the United States in 1949. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedro_Albizu_Campos Dr. Orlando Daumy, a radiologist and president of the Cuban Cancer Association, traveled to Puerto Rico to examine him. From his direct physical examination of Albizu Campos, Dr. Daumy reached three specific conclusions: 1) that the sores on Albizu Campos were produced by radiation burns 2) that his symptoms corresponded to those of a person who had received intense radiation, 3) that wrapping himself in wet towels was the best way to diminish the intensity of the rays.

Re: My Demands
by Ryan Carboni 17 Jan '20

17 Jan '20

My demands are small. My own freedom. My suggestions are big, but they do not need to be heard. What is the price everyone is willing to pay? Billions? Tens of Billions? Hundreds of Billions? Trillions? "Hurr durr, we're going to have an orgy" is not a valid response. It is self-validating and extremely discrediting, if the elite is willing to lose enormous sums of money refusing to meet minor demands, they are also willing to lose enormous sums of money not to prevent the effects of climate change.
