The Return of ARCAD (US bio & chemical weapons)

Accidentally-released documents reveal links between current
'non-lethal' weapons research and a Cold War chemical weapons
program cancelled in 1992 because of its treaty-busting implications.

(Austin and Hamburg - 6 January 2004) - Newly-released US government documents indicate that recent Pentagon research on so-called "non-lethal" weapons is a revived version of a weapons program that was cancelled due to the Chemical Weapons Convention. Elements of the decade-old program on incapacitating chemicals, called ARCAD (Advanced Riot Control Agent Device), have been re-initiated by the Pentagon's Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate. The links that Sunshine Project Freedom of Information Act requests have established between ARCAD and recent research underscore how and why the Pentagon's "non-lethal" weapons program threatens treaty controls on chemical and biological weapons.

In 1992, the US Army's ARCAD program was supposed to have been terminated because of prohibitions in the Chemical Weapons Convention, which was then in late stages of negotiation. But it is now clear that elements of the program continued to operate under a new guise. As of 2002, ARCAD's legacy was being pursued with a new institutional base - the US Marine Corps-directed Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate (JNLWD). Weapons development deemed legally unacceptable in 1992 has found new life with the "non-lethal" moniker, despite US ratification of the Chemical Weapons Convention and attacks on states alleged to be developing chemical and biological weapons....

And Rumsfeld and Cheney were part of that conspiracy, according to the script? Holy shit!!

Also, I scrolled thru that list of so-called "non-lethal" weaponry. Gruesome stuff.. . .but a couple of things:

Electromagnetic engine kill - Wellstone?

Biotechnical Neuro Implant - Didn't Tim McVeigh claim the govt. had implanted some computer chip in his body?

The monsters have taken over.
