The Sunshine Project warns that U.S. military research into the deadly 'Spanish Flu' influenza virus that killed 20-40 million people in 1918
The Sunshine Project has revealed that the U.S. Army has developed and patented a new grenade that it says can be used to wage biowarfare. They argue that this is in violation of the Biological Weapons Convention, which explicitly prohibits development of bioweapons delivery devices.
The Sunshine Project reports that U.S. Special Forces are soliciting the development of genetically engineered offensive biological weapons. Specifically, the U.S. is seeking genetically engineered bugs that eat materials and stealthy modified organisms (called "taggants") that can be used to invisibly "paint" a target so that it can be destroyed with other weapons later.
US Army documents released under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) reveal disturbing efforts to design crowd control weapons that target people on an ethnic basis. The weapons, a group of foul-smelling chemicals called malodorants, are being developed for US soldiers to use overseas. According to the Sunshine Project, the US has crossed a dangerous line. Successful or not, development of any ethnic weapon is intrinsically racist, and the international community should consider their development, stockpiling, or use by any country a violation of international law.
