Tacit Rainbow was a secret missile from the 1970s, that
would have anti radar capabilities. It was a 'black' project, which
means it was hidden in the budget and the spending was unlimited. The
missile failed and the project was killed in 1991 after Four Billion
Dollars was wasted.

| Tri-Service Stand-off Attack Missile (TSSAM) was a cruse
type missile. It was supposed to save money but as development continued
it kept getting more and more expensive. It was cancelled due to test
failures, cost overruns and contract disputes. This was another 'black'
project that cost the tax payers over Four Billion Dollars. |
SAPs are unacknowledged special access programs, they
used to be called black projects. In order to have a SAP project, it
must be approved by the Secretary of Defense or the Deputy Secretary
of Defense. SAP programs require greater security than normal programs.
The oversight of a SAP is done by the manager who reports to the military
service, who in turn reports to the Department of Defense and Congress.
There are two types of SAPs, they are acknowledged and unacknowledged.
The B-2 Bomber started it life as an unacknowledged SAP program. The
reason for having an unacknowledged SAP is that it is of such a sensitive
nature that its existence must be kept secret. |

A secret project is being conducted by American, British and UN funded
agencies. A fungus is being developed to destroy illicit drug producing
plants. A 3 1/2 year contract was entered into by the UNDCP with a Genetics
Institute for the development of a biological control agent. U.S. scientists
have discovered that this agent, the fungus, could lead to mutant strains
that might devastate the adjacent crops.

| The Manhattan Project was not only used to develop the Atom
Bomb but to experiment on people. The government admitted and apologized
to 18 who were secretly injected with Plutonium by scientists to see what
radiation would do to the human body. The names of the scientists and
people who were injected were blacked out of released government documents.
Thanks to Eileen Welsome, a reporter, the case was brought to the forefront.
She located the surviving people and when she met with them, she was amazed
to learn that they never knew what was done to them. |

Operation Condor. On March 6, 2001, The New York Times reported the
existence of a recently declassified State Department document revealing
that the United States facilitated communications among South American
intelligence chiefs who were working together to eliminate left-wing opposition
groups in their countries as part of a covert program known as Operation
Condor. In 1998 Augusto Pinochet was arrested for crimes
against humanity committed as part of Operation Condor.

Project Hot Dog. This pathetic experiment by NASA makes me sick. A dog
was put in a wind tunnel to see what would happen to him at ever increasing
wind speeds. At 500 mph his eye lids and lips tore away. I couldn't stomach
a larger image so I didn't include one for this picture.
