Black American Perspectives (6)
"Science without conscience is but the ruin of the soul."
Franois Rabelais, Pantagruel (1532) 1
The Tuskegee Syphilis Study"The future of the Negro lies more in
the research laboratory than in the schools When diseased, he
should be registered and
forced to take treatment before he offers his diseased mind and
body on the altar of academic and professional
education." Thomas Murrell, M.D.,, U.S. Public Health Service,
1910." 2
The Tuskegee Syphilis Study is arguably the most
infamous bio-medical research study in the history of our
country. In 1932, the U.S. Public Health Service (PHS)
launched its "Study of Syphilis in the Untreated Negro
Male." 3 While the study promised free medical care to
hundreds of sick and desperately poor sharecroppers in
Macon County, Alabama, the U.S. Public Health Service lied to
the brothers
convincing them that they were being treated, not studied.
Radiation Experiments On Black Americans"Many African Americans'
distrust in today's medical establishment can be attributed to
Tuskegee."" Dr. Carl C. Bell, Executive
Director of Chicago's Community Mental Health Council 4

As far back as the early 1900s doctors believed
radiation could turn a Black man White, as seen here
by a New York American newspaper ad, dated Sunday,
January 10th, 1904. 5 However, Ebb Cade, a 55-year-old
Black truck driver, became the first American to be
injected with plutonium under the direction of the U.S.
Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) and the Department of Energy
(DOE). 6 On
Saturday, March 24, 1945, Mr. Cade was admitted to the U.S. Army
Manhattan
Engineer District Hospital in Oakridge, Tennessee for treatment
of bodily injuriesresulting from a car accident. The extent of his
injuries were so severe that his
doctors did not expect him to live. Nevertheless, Ebb was
recovering miraculously,
that is until the AEC paid him a visit on Tuesday, April 10,
1945. 7 The documents
show that Mr. Cade was injected with 0.29 microcuries of
plutonium 239, a dose
equal to 1,030 rems or 41.2 times what the average person
receives in a lifetime. 8
Just like the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, Ebb thought his doctors
were caring for him.
Black Americans And The Return Of The Brain Cutters
"In the tradition of Freeman's mutilation of children and
aggressive adults, he [University of Mississippi neurosurgeon
Orland J.Andy, M.D.] simply operates and operates and operates
until the child causes no more trouble." Peter R . Breggin,
M.D.,
Psychiatrist 9
University of Mississippi neurosurgeon Orland J.
Andy, M.D., a believer in Psychosurgery, performed many
types of brain ablations, including thalamotomies
(destruction of the thalamus, which controls emotions and
analyzes sensations in the brain), on Black American
children as young as six (6). 10 According to Harriet A.
Washington, J.M., a [Black] boy of nine with normal
intelligence, is described as "hyperactive" and
"aggressive" by his doctor. To make J.M. easier to
manage, he is scheduled for brain surgery. Peter R.
Breggin, M.D. says: "Holes are drilled through his skull and
electrodes are passed
deep into his brain to coagulate both sides of the the posterior
section of the
forebrain, the emotion-regulating center of the brain. Nine
months later, the
operation is repeated on one side." 11 At this point Andy
reports that J.M.'s behavior
is improved. However, a year passes and J.M.'s symptoms
reappear, so he is
subjected to more brain surgery. This time to the fornix,
another portion of the
brain's emotion-regulating system and as you and I would expect,
J.M. is eveneasier to manage. Nevertheless, in the end, Andy admits
that "intellectually" J.M. is
deteriorating. 12 I just can't imagine what behaviorAndy
witnessed in a nine (9) year
old boy that moved him to repeatedly cut out portions of his
brain.
Culture Without Conscience Is But The Ruin Of A Country"Each
country will have to decide its own form of coercion and determine
when and how it should be employed. At present, the
means available are compulsory sterilization and compulsory
abortion. Perhaps someday a way of enforcing compulsory birth
control will be feasible." Alan Frank Guttmacher(1893-1974),
former president of the Planned Parenthood 13

According the Alan Guttmacher Institute (AGI), 67% of
Black pregnancies are unintended. 14 According to the
Centers for Disease Control (CDC), while only 12% of
the U.S. population, Black women accounted for 40.2%
of all abortions in 2008, Black women obtained the
highest percentage of abortions after 13 weeks gestation
and while abortion rates for others have decreased,
abortion rates forBlack women have increased. 15 To get
an idea of the impact of abortion in Black America,consider the
number ofBlack Americans lynched in the
U.S. between 1864 and 1968: 4,946 or 47.7 per year and compare
the number of
Black Americans lynched to the number of Black babies aborted
between 1973
and 2011: 17,653,000 or currently about 470,000 per year and
you'll understand
that the ratio of Black babies killed by abortion to Black
Americans killed by
lynching is 3,569 to 1. 16 The abortion numbers in Black America
alone are
genocidal, but when you learn that 49% of the 6.7 million
pregnancies in the United
States each year (3.2 million) are unintended, that at least 1
million abortions are
performed annually, 17 that the total number of abortions in the
United States from
1967-2011 is over 55 million, and that the 55 million babies
aborted are more than
the population of the seventy-two (72) largest U.S. cities
(54,899,885 for 2011),
you're getting the picture. 18 However, when you realize that
after forty (40) years
abortion is still legal in America and that Planned Parenthood,
the largest abortion
provider in the country, is supported by $487 million U.S.
taxpayer dollars, 19 you'll
have more than a picture. You'll know that abortion is just the
latest syphilis
study, radiation experiment and brain surgery in Black America
and that we as
country, are a corrupt and callous culture without a conscience
facing ruin.
Brothers, we really need to talk.
