Camp Sibert
|
| Are you familiar with the U.S.
Chemical Warfare Testing program of WWII? My father was a member of the
all-black unit of mostly illiterate and poor blacks, who were forced to
participate in experimentation over their lifetimes, and were never
compensated for the consequent disabilities nor given adequate medical
treatment. In fact, most were declared paranoid schizophrenic and were
given mind-numbing electro-shock therapy to erase the memory, which is
one of the known effects. Incidentally, electro-shock therapy was never
an approved treatment for schizophrenia. An excellent reference is the
book, "Veterans at
Risk: The Health Effects of Mustard Gas and Lewisite." See also: www.hnd.usace.army.mil/oew/factshts/factshts/sibert39.html The VA released this fact sheet after we mounted an unsuccessful court challenge to their denial of due process to a veteran (my father) who was never given 100% disability rating, which would have entitled us to financial and economic support nor included in the Victims Compensation Bill to compensate Veterans for the horrendous effects suffered after repeated exposure to mustard gas and lewisite. -- Gerald Cheves: gcheves@yahoo.com |

A riot in March of 1944 resulted in the deaths of thirty to
fifty Black recruits, their remains hidden in a cave. When the bones are
discovered thirty years later, it is once again covered up. Read the amazing
TRUE story SHUNNED by the Department of Defense, Senators and Congressmen, The
National Enquirer, CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, and many Major newspapers. This is the
story of men who died, and were stolen from history. See Twilight

Camp Sibert in a listing of US Camps used to house German POWs. Note: there was another Camp Sibert in Germany, renamed Camp King, and it had nothing to do with the School in Alabama.
