Damn, conspiracy nuts were correct!

I have made fun of so many for chem trails and now I find out that they were right.

I love how they show the United Nuclear container of Cadmium Sulfide. My favorite source of sketchy chems.

So, basically, they were testing smokescreens with fluorescent markers? Because that's what Cadmium Sulphide is?

Whoop de diddly doo.

Inhaling cadmium-laden dust quickly leads to respiratory tract and kidney problems which can be fatal (often from renal failure). Ingestion of any significant amount of cadmium causes immediate poisoning and damage to the liver and the kidneys. Compounds containing cadmium are also carcinogenic.

Has it occurred to you that aggressive use of this has absolutely no value?

Toxicologic Assessment of the Army's Zinc Cadmium Sulfide Dispersion Tests

Food is the largest potential source of cadmium exposure for the general population. The daily cadmium intake from food in the United States ranges from 10 to 60 μg.

Except in the vicinity of cadmium-emitting industries, the concentration of cadmium in most U.S. drinking-water supplies is less than 1 μg/L. However, concentrations of up to 10 μg/L have been reported in some water supplies. Thus, daily cadmium intake from drinking water is about 2–20 μg, assuming that a person drinks 2 liters of water per day.

Cigarettes are also an important source of cadmium exposure. The amount of cadmium that can be inhaled from smoking one cigarette is 0.1–0.2 μg. Thus, it can be estimated that someone smoking one pack per day will take in 2–4 μg of cadmium per day.

The highest estimated cadmium intake from the zinc cadmium sulfide dispersion tests was 24.4 μg in St. Louis, 14.5 μg in Winnipeg, 6.8 μg in Minneapolis, 1.1 μg in Fort Wayne, and 0.1 μg in Corpus Christi.

The subcommittee concluded that the amounts of cadmium from the zinc cadmium sulfide used in the Army's dispersion tests were well below the amounts at which toxic effects occur.

Interesting info Loinburger ( TY ) but in the news report it said no health followups were done.
or maybe I misunderstood?

I assume you condone this experiment of horror?

The news reports might have meant that there was no followup to see if there was an increased incidence of cancer or whatever in the affected areas.

No. For it to qualify as an experiment of horror, they should have actually hurt someone. Evidence of which is completely absent from that video.

I've never tried conspiracy nuts before. Are they better than honey roasted?

[Docfeelgood]

No. For it to qualify as an experiment of horror, they should have actually hurt someone. Evidence of which is completely absent from that video.

The victims were black, guess I should agree with you.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

Watch the video again.

Number of deaths reported = 0
Number of illnesses or maimings reported = 0
Half life of radium = 1000 years+
Evidence of increased radioactivity on the site = 0
Tenuous link to a company involved with misuse of radium in entirely unconnected circumstances "decades earlier" = 1

How are you defining "victims" here?

[Dauphin]

Testing

Half life.

Edit - Cool, but annoying.
