In the 1800’s science wasn’t so valued as today. This was the time, when scientists (especially in the field of medicine) gave a lot to mankind.
The turning point was WWI, when the authorities hired scientist to invent and develop more deadly weapons. These inventions influence our life until today. For more than 100 years, chemicals continue being the silent killers. In the beginning as gas, later as additives to our water and food, and lately in the form of drugs, vaccinations. Genetic manipulations are belong under biology, but a perverted one. You can guess my opinion on scientists according to this...
Chemical weapons in World War I
The types of weapons employed ranged from disabling chemicals, such as tear gas, to lethal agents like phosgene, chlorine, and mustard gas.
Fritz Haber was a German chemist who received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1918 for his invention of the Haber–Bosch process, a method used in industry to synthesize ammonia from nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas. This invention is of importance for the large-scale synthesis of fertilizers and explosives. The food production for half the world’s current population depends on this method for producing nitrogen fertilizers. Haber is also considered the “father of chemical warfare” for his years of pioneering work developing and weaponizing chlorine and other poisonous gases during World War I, especially his actions during the Second Battle of Ypres.
Hydrogen cyanide, a poisonous gas that interferes with cellular respiration, was first used as a pesticide in California in the 1880s. Research at Degesch of Germany led to the development of Zyklon (later known as Zyklon A), a pesticide which released hydrogen cyanide upon exposure to water and heat. It was banned after a similar product was used by Germany as a chemical weapon in World War I. In 1922, Degesch was purchased by Degussa, where a team of chemists that included Walter Heerdt and Bruno Tesch developed a method of packaging hydrogen cyanide in sealed canisters along with a cautionary eye irritant and adsorbent stabilizers. The new product was also named Zyklon, but it became known as Zyklon B to distinguish it from the earlier version. Uses included delousing clothing and disinfesting ships, warehouses, and trains.
In early 1942, Zyklon B
emerged as the preferred killing tool of Nazi Germany for use in extermination camps during the Holocaust. Around a million people were killed using this method, mostly at Auschwitz.
Sodium fluoride was added to water the first time during World War II, when Hitler used to add it to the water supply in Nazi Concentration camps to keep the prisoners docile and easier to control.
Now, studies have shown that fluoride can interfere with the functions of the brain and can alter mental behaviour. Consumption has also been associated with Alzheimer’s Disease. Fluoride can accumulate in the body through direct ingestion, showering and through the tissues in the mouth. While our kidneys can process out nearly 50 percent of ingested fluoride, the rest is stored in the bones and the pineal gland. The pineal gland, which has long been believed to be our seat of consciousness or third eye, becomes calcified by fluoride and many conspiracy theorists believe that the government is trying to stop spiritual advancement and the expansion of conscious intelligence.
Despite the spiritual effects, calcification of the pineal gland also triggers early puberty and mental disorders.
In fact, 24 studies have revealed that fluoridated water lowers the IQ of children and consumption could cause fetal brain damage and impair visual-spatial awareness.
