The Edgewood Experiments and Operation Delirium
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 июн 2022
- From 1955 to 1975 the US Army conducted secret human experiments with mind-altering drugs at Edgewood Arsenal. The test subjects? Nearly 7,000 of our own soldiers. Situated near Chesapeake Bay, Edgewood Arsenal has been America's research center for chemical warfare for over a century. Some of the most lethal chemical agents the world has ever known were created, tested and manufactured there. In 1955 Edgewood rolled out their Army Medical Volunteer Research Program. With help from our soldiers, they tested over 250 different chemical agents. Then BZ was developed. A typical incapacitating dose of BZ caused a slew of effects; scattered function, thinking, and altered perception to name a few. A single dose of less than 1 mg could produce delirium lasting several days.
Was the work they were doing at Edgewood violating medical ethics or was the human research they conducted sound and necessary science in the name of national security? The Army didn’t believe that anyone was hurt, but many servicemen suffered from a range of adverse health effects following their time at Edgewood, including peeling skin, cancer, movement disorders, and psychological issues.
The volunteers were all under a strict secrecy oath for 50 years AFTER the program ended! . Many of the soldiers felt they were misinformed about the nature of the experiments they signed up for. Saying they were never told about the adverse or possible long term effects the drugs would have on them.

What did you think of the old declassified military footage? I couldn’t look away! 😳
The footage near the beginning was trippy.. I enjoy old military footage, especially the secret experiments. Nuke video's are also hauntingly curious. Great vid. This is the first video that popped up when I searched for (Operation Delirium). I'm looking forward to watching more of your content. So much for getting to bed early tonight.
edit: well, your armchair investigator vids anyway! Makeup really isn't my thing.. :P
likely fake. why would you believe anything they show us. Only approx. 50 people...sure. whatever you say. lol...CIA, FBI, NSA...take that number and square it, squared,
Imagine the footage and information that wasn't declassified! Oh, but we can trust them that this all ended in 1975. The gov would never lie or mislead us.
@@robertkerr4199😂 at the edited part
I think it was declassified for so long so everyone involved would be dead. Not held accountable. Our leaders are sociopaths.
I used to be proud to be American, I still am but, there are many things that makes me ashamed, embarrassed and pissed as all hell! If they wanted Medical Care they probably gets thrown out the window like the man that thought he was getting treatment for the LSD he was subjected to! And then I think of the four men that were told they had bad blood! I hope and PRAY our government has stopped doing things like this but I'm not naive anymore. It should scare all of us that they think they can do whatever they , protected by law and no consequences???!!! I had never heard this story before, thank you for sharing it!
I am not proud of 'my country' whatsoever. Like KRS One said, "There can never be justice on stolen land."
Edgewood Armory was also the site of the army's development of the world's most deadly nerve agents.
I went to Edgewood middle when they were in the process of removing the mustard gas they had stored on base behind the school. I will never forget the paper they sent us home with showing us and our parents what to do during a mustard gas leak. It was literally pictures of a cartoon beaver or an otter shutting windows and putting towels in front of doors. Freaking creepy. Right before 9/11 too
I also worked on base at the troop store from 06-08. Loved working there, but anytime anything needed fixed like a freezer or a cooler, it would take months to get it done.
The mustard gas leak flyer is so crazy! Did they have you practice lockdown drills at the school in case of a gas leak?
@@ArmchairInvestigator basically they put us in the gym I think where they cut off outside air. Kids with medical issues went to the library. This was also around the same time as 9/11 so yeah, we had quite a few drills.
I did learn recently that my grandfather who was a Korean and ww2 vet was stationed at Edgewood arsenal right before he was discharged in the early 1950’s. I don’t know what he did tho but afterwards my family just kind of stayed in Edgewood
Sounds like a longer, worse Benadryl trip, which is also an anticholinergic and affects the same neurotransmitter
I think it's safe to assume BZ was deployed in Vietnam. Johnson might not have authorized it, but Nixon sure would have.
Your faith in LBJ's character is misplaced. Besides, the Criminals In Action were known to act first and then get approval later.
A lot of the symptoms that the "volunteers" suffered in the areas of deficit, such as demotivation, emotional distance and loss of affect seem like the negative symptoms of Schizotypal disorder. In this aspect apart from psychosis and hallucinations is also alarming.
Great story. I could watch videos of these old military experiments all day.
Thank you! I could too. Creepy cool profile pic by the way! 💛
@@ArmchairInvestigator thanks lol. My 3 year old picked it out. He’s an interesting small person.
Operation White Coat of using Seventh Day Adventist men from Fort Detrick in Maryland to some desert in Utah for an incapacitating biological agent like Tularemia. Then they were actually flown back to Fort Detrick again, they actually had a severe case of the flu that would actually stay for a month.
I lived in Edgewood. And our schools were less than 4 miles from the base. As an adult I would drive a cab on the base. Also go fishing there. On occasion they would shut down the base because they had a leak.
Did it seem like an ominous place when you were there?
@Armchair Investigator i currently live in Edgewood. A little over 2 miles from Edgewood Arsenal. The schools are still in the same spots even though 2 of the 3 are newer buildings. I hear bombs go off and shake/rattle the house
Mustard gas is related to chemotherapy, research that .
I've never heard of this, but I'm not surprised. The 50's was not as "innocent" as was portrayed. It was vieled in poodle skirts and fun music, but there are parts that wasn't so cute.
There were some bad actors back in those days, but people in power nowadays are completely trustworthy and would never poison or hurt anyone that didn't have it coming. Look up "depleted uranium babies" for evidence of this.
It was a cover up to slip us into their noahide khaballah nightmare, I mean dream.
“Not in 2022” is hilarious, ironic, and shocking someone would think or say that! After a snake venom shot!
My grandfather is a top ten MK Ultra victims. He sued and lost at the Supreme Court but won at Congress. I have been denied his records as well as my father’s due to privacy issues/national security. So… who do I sue first?
"Keep your head down, your eyes open, and your mouth shut."
Best advice I've ever been given. Take it or leave it.
Mknaomi were the worst victims. That's where AIDS was made.
Nobody, since you're not your father or grandfather, you can't sue anyone lol, nothing happened to you
@@jsmith4343 civilians don't really know why people disappear till they fuck around and find out.
@@WtfRUclips_YouSuck K. ✌️
You deserve more subs and views. Good job.
Thank you so much! That means a lot!
Thank you so much! That means a lot!
24:26 this story left me wondering if there are other things we don’t know about.
There absolutely is
Ok I was stationed at Apg Edgewood and while had a psych break down where I had to be put in patient hospital in DC for several weeks. The whole time I was stationed there I felt very off and had suicidal thoughts wich i never had before. By the time I was stationed there I was already in the army for 4 years and was successful with many awards but once there due to the mental health issues the discharge me out and diagnosised me with a personality disorder but up to that point had never had issues. There were several other people in my unit who as well lost there minds as well and we're discharge out . We were all in main chemical headquarters company. We also we all diagnosed with asthma. Which I never had breathing problem before. We were given monthly shots they said the were anthrax vaccine and they had us in testing research building were they told us we could touch the walls because we would be exposed to chemicals. I think every day that maybe they were doing something to s since we were all lower enlisted. Most everyone in our company were officers or E7 and up. I don't know how I could find out the VA is no help and w ok not even give me a rating for my mental health diagnosis
Your videos are awesome!! Something about the music is suspenseful and kinda scary lol We need a new video each week ❤️
Thank you, Wilson! That means a lot. 💛
@@ArmchairInvestigator My pleasure.
i watched that chemists video, and i became interested into what happened in this.
went to school in edgewood- grandfather was a subject. got hooked on morphine during his trials.
🙁
I don't like the fact that the soilders didn't know what they were in store for. It just seems like a terrible situation for them. 😕
Agreed! And as someone who does not like the feeling of being in an altered state - I can’t imagine that lasting for days! 😵💫
@@ArmchairInvestigator Those in charge should have taken a turn too 😆
@@ArmchairInvestigator I like being in an altered state, but this is an absolute nightmare especially as someone who experimented with deliriants.
@@ArmchairInvestigator the government has done some cruel things to it's citizens. The Tuskegee experiment comes to mind.
Trust "em, they're not doing anything like that any more! Now, go get your shots...@@WarrenHolly
I lived in edgewood Maryland for years
How were they planning on administering the drugs to adversaries?
I thought you were describing the wolf o f wall street scene.
My mom had told me about this. It’s so awful. 😢
Hey stranger! 💛 It’s truly insane what happened to these soldiers.

@@ArmchairInvestigator It’s been such a busy few months and then Covid hit our home. I’m still recovering, but so much better. Hubby is still very sick after three weeks. He has an autoimmune disease so we knew his case would be worse. Slowly, but surely he’s improving. He’s army strong being a vet! 💪🏼❤️
I live in Edgewood Maryland
Hmmm....my comment asking a question and providing a link seems to have disappeared. That is odd. It was not a negative comment at all.
Love your content you are so clever and you are gorgeous 🔥 no hetro ❤
Isn't it c-3po?
It is - I flashed the correct spelling on the screen 😆
As a young person, I experimented with deliriants (high dose Benadryl to be exact: a nightmarish hallucinatory day). The duration of this drug is about twice as long and that is ridiculous. I did this willingly and spent most of my time wondering if I was actually under the influence and the other half dealing with horrifying hallucinations that felt like nightmares.
But then to play devil's advocate, is not a personal nightmare less harmful than creating an actual nightmare in the form of war (especially in the terms of today's insurgent warfare)?
That's what they were doin, yup. Developing the blank-slate tech.
They should use the death row inmates who have been dully convicted
8:44 -BZ-D2 Where are you? Oh..I don't care for this at all..
Oof... This was awful! The subject matter I mean, your presentation was, as always, flawless! Thank you for teaching me something today.
Also, I wouldn't be surprised if a Research Chemical called 3-CPO would come into existence one day 😂 I'm not a scientist though so I shouldn't be listened to. At all 😂
Thank you for the compliment! I appreciate you! 💛
