| “I Lived In Mercury”: Frank Zappa family poisoned by Pentagon toxins during childhood, pre-death confession reveals
October 19th, 2015, by Norman Smith
Before his death at age 53, the avant-garde composer Frank Zappa wrote a memoir that’s brimming with freaky anecdotes. None are more freaky than those dealing with his father, Francis, and his job within the sinister military-industrial complex. “My dad was employed as a meteorologist at the Edgewood Arsenal” Zappa wrote. “They made poison gas there during World War II…”[1] According to Medical Counter Measures (a division of the Department of Defense): “Edgewood Arsenal has been the center of chemical warfare research and development since 1918″ and “became the research hub for chemical agent testing on human subjects from 1955 through 1975,” during which time “the Army Chemical Corps Medical Department conducted classified medical studies involving nerve agents, nerve agent treatments (antidotes), psychochemicals (hallucinogenic drugs), irritants, and blistering agents.”[2]
The use of poison gas during World War I caused over a million casualties, and the diabolical weapon continued to be used after the war’s end. In 1919, for example, there was a rebellion by the inhabitants of British-controlled Iraq. In response, Winston Churchill (then Secretary of State at the War Office), authorized the use of chemical weapons “against recalcitrant Arabs as experiment,” explaining in top secret correspondence that “I am strongly in favor of using poisoned gas against uncivilized tribes.” He emphasized that it wouldn’t be necessary to actually kill the Arabs, because “gasses can be used which cause great inconvenience and would spread a lively terror and yet would leave no serious permanent effects on most of those affected.”[3]
In an attempt to prevent civilized statesmen like Churchill from continuing to spread a lively terror, the League of Nations in 1925 adopted the Geneva Protocol — an international treaty that prohibited the use of chemical and biological weapons.[4] The United States signed the treaty, but Congress did not actually ratify it until 50 years later.[5] In the ensuing five decades, the U.S. government ignored the treaty and built up a huge stockpile of chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction. As summarized in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, “Funding for these programs was stepped up in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Support for research and development tripled between 1958 and 1964.” By 1969, “the biological weapons stockpile included at least 10 types of agents and toxins” and “the U.S. chemical weapons stockpile included 42,000 tons of poison gas,” with “open-air testing of chemical weapons at Edgewood Arsenal.”[6] As Frank Zappa surmised, “I guess it would have been the meteorologist’s job to figure out which way the wind was blowing when it was time to shoot the stuff off.”[1]
Francis Zappa’s employer also carried out experiments on humans, following a long tradition of medical atrocities sponsored by the U.S government. Ulf Schmidt, a leading academic authority on the subject, explains: “At Edgewood Arsenal, senior scientists in need of human subjects at times ’rounded up’ researchers in their laboratory. For them, minor accidents and contaminations with mustard gas were a regular occurence. The same applied to those many uneducated, disadvantaged, and often very young men in charge of handling chemical warfare materials who experienced unforeseen exposure due to a lack of protective equipment…. A postwar report later noted: ‘It is not unfair to say that due care was not always exercised in the application of vesicant agents and corrosive ointments to the arms and legs of volunteers and they were sometimes burned more than was necessary.'”[7]
Francis Zappa was the subject of some of those experiments. At Edgewood, Frank explained, “My dad used to help pay the rent by volunteering for human testing of chemical (maybe even biological) warfare agents. These were called ‘patch tests.’ The Army didn’t tell you what it was they were putting on your skin—and you agreed not to scratch it, or peek under the bandage—and they would pay you ten bucks per patch. Then they would take it off after a couple of weeks. My dad used to come home with three or four of those things on his arms and different parts of his body every week. I don’t know what the stuff was, or what the long-range health effects it might have had on him (or on any of the children that were born after the time that they did it).”[1] One can only hope that he was not burned “more than was necessary.”
When Edgewood Arsenal wasn’t experimenting on human guinea pigs and making weapons for war crimes, it was doing its part in the war on other living things. As reported in the ever-popular journal Mosquito News, “Early in the season of 1946, it was decided that the Arsenal would be one of the twelve posts chosen for treatment with DDT from the air.”[8] In due course, the Nobel Prize-winning pesticide ended up inside the Zappa household.[9] As Frank explained, “my dad brought some home—there was a whole bag of it in the closet. I didn’t eat it anything, but he said that you could—it was supposed to be ‘safe,’ it only killed bugs.”[1] DDT was outlawed in 1972, after many years of causing cancer and wreaking havoc on countless species, while contaminating everything it touched.
The labs at Edgewood did provide young Frank with some fun toys, though. His dad would “bring equipment home from the lab for me to play with: beakers, Florence flasks, little petri dishes full of mercury—blobs of mercury. I used to play with it all the time. The entire floor of my bedroom had this ‘muck’ on it, made out of mercury mixed with dust balls. One of the things I used to like to do was pour the mercury on the floor and hit it with a hammer, so it squirted all over the place. I lived in mercury.”[1]
Not surprisingly, Frank was sick all the time as a kid while living at the Army housing facility at Edgewood, Maryland, just outside of Baltimore. When the family briefly relocated to Florida, “My health improved, and I got about a foot taller,” he said. However, “My mother got homesick and, since I was taller, figured it was okay to go back to Baltimore. We went back to Baltimore and I got sick again.”[1]
It is commonly assumed that Frank Zappa’s fatal cancer was caused by the fact that he smoked more cigarettes than anyone in history. But he always insisted that tobacco was a vegetable for him, and had nothing to do with his terminal disease. Maybe he was right. Perhaps the cause of death was the Edgewood Arsenal. |

| THINGFISH CDC announces mandatory nationwide vaccination against new viral pandemic to be launched by Merck this winter December 21st, 2015, by Kevin SandersThe hottest new conspiracy theory posits that one of the pharmaceutical giants – perhaps Merck – is about to unleash a new virus upon the unsuspecting public, and then launch a new vaccine that will be marketed as a prevention against said disease. To the untrained eye, this might seem a bit far-fetched, but the belief that some diseases are manufactured by Big Pharma has been widespread for a long time, and mandatory vaccination laws have only added fuel to the suspicions. As Nicholas Wurschmidt summarized on NaturalNews.com, “Some say that the AIDS virus was engineered. There is a close connection between the rise of genetic engineering and mixing of viruses in the early 1970s and the outbreak of HIV in the late 1970s. This connection persists in the form of the many unprecedented ’emerging diseases’ caused by ‘new viruses’ that continue up to the present time.” [1] The composer Frank Zappa even wrote a Broadway musical on the general topic. Entitled Thing-Fish (the name paying homage to the character “Kingfish” in the legendary Amos & Andy radio and television show), the musical is about how the U.S. government, acting on behalf of the Religious Right, creates a virus that targets minorities, homosexuals and “sissy boys” in general. Considering that there are a lot of minorities in prison, and that prisoners frequently engage in homosexual behavior, the government introduces the virus into the prison cafeteria’s mashed potatoes to infect the hungry inmates. As Zappa explained to David Letterman, “It doesn’t kill them – it just makes them really ugly.” Specifically, it turns their heads into potatoes, gives them lips like a duck, and somehow makes them wear giant aprons like Aunt Jemima. (See picture above.)[2]As for the plot of the current conspiracy theory, the reason for Merck’s inclusion is no doubt due to it’s sordid history – such as the Merck vaccine scandal of 2010. As health advocate Mike Adams reported at the time, “According to two Merck scientists who filed a False Claims Act complaint in 2010 — a complaint which has just now been unsealed — vaccine manufacturer Merck knowingly falsified its mumps vaccine test data, spiked blood samples with animal antibodies, sold a vaccine that actually promoted mumps and measles outbreaks, and ripped off governments and consumers who bought the vaccine.” [3]The Centers For Disease Control (CDC) is also part of this particular theory, probably because of its disgusting association with Subway sex-creep Jared Fogel. As previously detailed on NewsParody.com, the CDC “appointed Jared to be the public face of its vaccination propaganda campaign, confident that the American public had been so dumbed-down by vaccines that they would forgive his perv-juice prowlings and focus solely on his awesome sandwich-dieting plan, which has almost single-handedly eradicated the plague of obesity from the face of the earth.” As part of the campaign, the report continues, “Jared will embark on a cross-country tour of elementary schools, where he will be exposing children to the facts about communicable diseases, and helping them overcome their natural fear of being poked.” [4]In light of all this insanity, it’s no wonder that speculation of a Merck/CDC virus-vaccine scam abound |
