Comments on: “Operation Whitecoat” To Be Featured on PBS, Feb. 5 http://progressiveadventism.com/2007/01/31/operation-whitecoat-to-be-featured-on-pbs-feb-5/ Re-imagining the Adventist Vision ~ Beyond Conservative and Liberal ~ Lifting Up the Family of Adventism Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:25:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Dennis http://progressiveadventism.com/2007/01/31/operation-whitecoat-to-be-featured-on-pbs-feb-5/#comment-625 Dennis Tue, 06 Feb 2007 10:32:26 +0000 http://progressiveadventism.com/2007/01/31/operation-whitecoat-to-be-featured-on-pbs-feb-5/#comment-625 Some facts you learn from the PBS program on Whitecoat Project: 1. The U.S. did biological weapon program for 30 years (1943-73) 2. It was for mass destruction, targeting mostly civilians 3. It was started in 1943 by the request of Britain 4. "Defensive" purpose ? Bogus excuse. 5. Hitler banned biologicar/chemical weapons. 6. Notorious Japanese biological war criminals, including Ishi, got immunity by McArthur (with Washington's yes) in exchange of human experiment data. 7. Adventist young men were used as gunea pigs. (If you saw the film, you can never forget the scene adventists young men lined up with monkeys in Utah desert when Q-fever bomb was being tested) It is shame on our church that we participated in the experiment on weapons of mass destruction. It is shame on our church that we exposed our young people to the grave danger. I hope this kind of blunder does not happen again. Some facts you learn from the PBS program on Whitecoat Project:

I asked him about it, and he said he was proud to have done his duty. He appears to be in good health. There was a news article about it in the local paper. I just can't locate it right now.

GC still claims that Whitecoat Project was noble, defensive, and humane. It is sad that we Adventist Church get sold so easily to Goverment's propaganda.
