美国研究的基因武器（美国开展的生物武器研究只是）

中新网北京3月23日电(蒋鲤)近日，俄国防部在乌克兰缴获的文件显示，美国在乌部署的实验室曾开展对鼠疫、布鲁氏菌病以及蝙蝠冠状病毒等研究。

类似研究只是美国生物军事活动的“冰山一角”，除德特里克堡外，美国在全球控制的336个生物实验室或都在干着类似的勾当，生化武器研究的“黑历史”层出不穷。

据丘奇委员会透露，二十世纪五十年代，美国中情局统筹的MKUltra计划通过包括给药在内的多重手段操纵实验主体的精神状态和大脑机能，从而使疑犯说出自己想要获得的信息。此外，CIA还曾在佛罗里达州坦帕湾外进行一项生物武器实验，释放百日咳细菌导致至少12人死亡。美国《华盛顿邮报》还揭露，仅从1949年到1969年，美军方就总共进行了239次露天生物制剂实验。

作为科技最先进的发达国家之一，美国不仅没有更多地将科技造福人类，反而将其作为霸权主义的“长矛利刃”。事实证明，美国国防部以“合作减少生物安全风险”“加强全球公共卫生”等名义在30个国家控制的336个生物实验室，反倒让美国成了全球生物安全的最大威胁，理应受到公开、透明、彻底的清查。

美国曾多次不负责任地指责他国、甚至抹黑他国拥有所谓的“大规模杀伤性武器”。但一提到对自己境内外生物设施的核查，便连连拒绝。近20年来，《禁止生物武器公约》多边核查机制的建立也一直遭到美国的阻挠。这一切都让国际社会的疑虑更深——美国一直以来都在隐瞒着什么？美国的所作所为背后隐藏着何种见不得光的计划？

疫情肆虐当下，美国一些政客漠视本国国民生命，将本应造福人类的先进技术应用于“生化实验”，毫不负责地将他人国土变成生物武器试验场，这无疑是对《禁止生物武器公约》赤裸裸的藐视，也是对全球人民生命安全不负责任的体现。美国生物实验室所隐藏的各种罪恶终将被暴露在阳光之下。披着华丽的外衣，与生化武器共舞，最后必将遭到反噬。

U.S. research into biological weapons just the tip of 'dark history' iceberg

By John Lee

(ECNS) -- Documents obtained by the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation have revealed that U.S.-guided biological laboratories in Ukraine have conducted high-risk studies concerning plague, brucellosis, and even bat coronaviruses, etc.

Such research is nothing but "a tip of the iceberg" of the American biological military activities. Apart from the infamous Fort Detrick, the United States has been conducting such inhumane studies in more than 300 bio-labs it established around the globe. Its "dark history" has long been known.

As revealed by the Church Committee investigators, the CIA has launched Project MKUltra (or MK-Ultra) in 1953 to use numerous methods to manipulate its subjects' mental states and brain functions, therefore weakening individuals and force confessions through brainwashing and psychological torture. Besides, a Washington Post article in 1979 revealed that the CIA may have conducted open-air tests of whooping cough bacteria in Florida in the mid-1950s when state medical records show a whooping cough outbreak killed 12 persons. And according to the Washington Post, the U.S. Army disclosed that it secretly conducted 239 germ warfare tests in open air between 1949 and 1969.

The United States has repeatedly blamed and even slandered other countries for possessing so-called “weapons of mass destruction”. However, it refuses investigation into its own biological facilities established across the world. For nearly two decades, the U.S. has been thwarting the establishment of the multilateral verification system of the Biological Weapons Convention, aggravating concerns among the international community: What has the U.S. been hiding all this time? And what are its secretive plans?

As one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world, the United States is supposed to benefit humankind with its advanced technologies. However, it uses them to solidify its hegemony. Evidence has proved that the 336 U.S.-funded bio-labs in 30 countries on pretexts of “cooperating to reduce biological safety risks” and “strengthening global public health” have raised public health concerns. Therefore, open, transparent and thorough investigation into those bio-labs should be conducted.

With COVID-19 wreaking havoc, some U.S. politicians have treated the lives of their citizens with indifference. What is more pathetic is that they have been applying advanced technologies to inhumane biochemical experiments in other countries, which is a violation of the Biological Weapons Convention and a kind of irresponsibility for the lives of people around the world. The heinousness of the U.S. hiding behind its bio-labs will eventually be exposed to the public. The one who makes use of bioweapons will surely experience backfire.
