PROJECT SHAD Pentagon Had 50 Tests of Chemical, Biological Weapons Involving Military Personnel Several House members are asking Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld to keep alive the Pentagon's investigation into 50 chemical and biological weapons tests in the 1960s that involved 5,842 military personnel. [- Don't count on Rumsfeld cooperating on this one, the Bush administration is doing all it can to conceal government information from the public.] The following comes to Spirit Caller by way of J.B. Stone. This is his story as a participant in Project SHAD. I was born in Reading, PA on 2/28/49....at a very young age. High School Class of 1967, Cathedral High, Denver, CO I enlisted in the US Navy on 12/13/67 for the Navy Nuclear Power School and later volunteered for Submarine duty. My time in Project SHAD was spent aboard the USS Granville S. Hall, YAG-40, the main Lab Ship for Project SHAD, "Shipboard Hazard And Defense." During that time, we operated mostly South of Hawaii, 50 to 200 miles out to sea. We were re-home ported in late 1969 to Treasure Island, in San Francisco Bay. We then carried out Bio-Chemical Warfare Testing 35 to 50 miles West of San Francisco, near the Farallon Islands. After I left the Hall, or "Granny" as we called her...even had a black & white "refueling flag" with Whistler's Mother depicted on it...I was sent to Mare Island, California and then to NRTS at Idaho Falls, Idaho. I never made it to the Nuclear Fleet. I fell ill and was fraudulently discharged, but not until after I was threatened with being sent to Vietnam to serve on a Swift Boat or PBR for allegedly "faking" my illness. Mind you, I was already under threat of Federal Prison by having signed "secrecy documents" which forbade my EVER speaking about what we did. What are they going to do, "Kill me AGAIN?" I was discharged Honorably from the U.S. Navy on 11/10/70 after serving only 2 years, 10 months, and 29 days of my original 6-year enlistment. My discharge papers say NOTHING about my having been on the Hall or in Project SHAD. When my Senator, Conrad Burns, acquired my military personnel records, I found that I had been "discharged for physical disabilities".... with NO Severance pay.... a fact of which I was unaware for over 30 years. I now live in Whitefish, Montana and currently have a VA Disability Claim in progress with 28 physical ailments listed on it. I have had four heart operations since June, 2002. To this day, I have NOT received adequate medical care or ANY compensation for the injuries I sustained at the hands of a Government gone mad.... 33 years ago! Thank You for publishing my little poem and story, J.B. Stone, Human Test Rat, Project SHAD, 1969, USS Granville S. Hall .....~~~~~!!!!!~~~~~..... The following is a letter I sent to the White House on Veterans Day, 2002: Veterans Day, 2002 To Whom It May Concern: I, James Bradley Stone, as a Project 112 & Project SHAD Veteran, United States Citizen, and Montana State Voter, do hereby request punitive action against the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs because of their blatant disregard for the welfare and their service of the American people. These Federal Bureaucracies continue to ignore the lawful oversight of the Congress as well. They must be brought under control and made to perform according to their lawful charters. The DoD and VA are purposely blockading the declassification and reporting of pertinent data that would result in Medical, Compensation & Pension actions for thousands of veterans. Project SHAD veterans have waited 30 to 40 years to receive relief for the physical, mental and sociological damages they have suffered because of their involuntary participation in wantonly unlawful and carelessly executed ABC Warfare experiments from 1962 to 1972. There is no excuse for the DoD & VA's overlooking crucial health concerns such as cross-contamination, non-existent safety equipment and training, and ineffectual decontamination. They continue to operate under the callous presumption that because they do not choose to consider these factors, they simply do not exist. It does not require medical or legal expertise to determine that to be patently false. The VA's presumption that there are no long-term consequences for SHAD veterans is a huge lie. The facts and evidence do not support their statements. Sadly, Project SHAD has already caused severe ailments and the premature deaths of many veterans and their children. SHAD survivors and their descendants continue to suffer a multitude of untreated physical and mental ailments only because it serves the convenience of the Federal Government. Relieving the consciences of the agents who have caused these circumstances by authorizing their ongoing malfeasance is a crime. If there was no danger from our exposure to highly carcinogenic and mutagenic Chemical & Biological Warfare Agents, Nuclear Contaminants and Radiation, then why has the Congress authorized the President to wage war on other nations that seek to utilize the very same substances? The notion that we are merely expendable ciphers when our nation is carrying out an immense international campaign to rid the world of those who would "gas their own people" is ludicrous! On behalf of all SHAD Veterans, their families, descendants and survivors, I demand the immediate dismissal and replacement of those who have flagrantly violated numerous International and United States Laws by creating and then denying the existence of these programs. By delaying and distorting the facts regarding Project SHAD & 112, these agents of the United States prolong serious injury by having used honorable veterans as Human Test Rats and then denying their claims for medical attention and monetary compensation. SHAD Veterans have repeatedly suffered humiliation and degradation at the hands of VA Administrators, Adjudicators, and Physicians who seek only to deny and delay their lawful claims on the basis of faulty and incomplete data from the DoD and improper execution of their duties. No reasonable party would deny that we have honored our commitment to keep the secrets of Special Operations and that now we deserve the TRUTH, RELIEF and COMPENSATION for our involvement in Project SHAD. Do not delay. Now that the Federal Government is making a weak effort to document what we have said for decades, the needs of SHAD Veterans MUST be addressed. Otherwise many more will suffer untimely deaths and their families will be left with the painful remembrance that their Country has deserted them. Sincerely, J.B. Stone .....~~~~~!!!!!~~~~~.....
