US planned nerve gas tests on Australian soldiers

THE US military planned to test deadly nerve gas on Australian soldiers in far north Queensland during the Cold War, declassified documents reveal.

The Defence and Prime Minister’s office files show that the US was strongly pushing then prime minister Harold Holt’s government in the 1960s to allow tests of two of the deadliest chemical weapons ever developed — VX and GB, better known as Sarin nerve gas.

The revelation airs this morning on the Nine Network’s Sunday program.

It says the top secret plan involved allowing 200 mainly Australian combat troops to be aerially bombed and sprayed with the chemical weapons.

It’s understood the Iron Range rainforest near Lockhart River in far north Queensland was the likely location for the tests.

   This is why i am not surprised that the government would carry out 911. They would murder hundreds of thousands in the second dropping of the A-bomb on Nagasaki. I don’t know why people would think that they would not murder 3000 to go to war in the middle east and to take away rights of Americans in the process. Wake up fellow citizens.

   Thanks America for the idea, but we do not like allowing our soldiers to be probably murdered. Now come on, tell us what you are up to at this time, as they say; leopards do not change their spots, bit of torture perhaps, bit of rendition, controlling the masses, a bit of invasion here and there? How about Iran, any plans? How about another 911 type false flag mass murder or two to move things along?

   Planned? The British DID test nerve gas on prisoners at the Long Kesh concentration camp in N.Ireland. It was on the news recently – campaigners were trying to get the British to admit what they done – but no response.

   And I think this was in the 70’s.

   A side note: Harold Holt mysteriously went missing when he was having a swim. The leader of Australia went missing and was never found. Maybe secretly he wasn’t “All the way with LBJ”

   Here is a short video which goes into some detail using news reports about the current testing being done on Americans, in the USA.
