The Democratic Deep State’s Toxic Legacy: How the U.S. Army’s Secret Carcinogen Spraying Ravaged Black St. Louis

In a chilling revelation that’s reigniting fury among conservatives, the U.S. Army has admitted to secretly dousing a predominantly Black neighborhood in St. Louis with a hazardous chemical fog laced with known carcinogens, all in the name of simulating biological warfare attacks. As highlighted in a vid by Dom Lucre (above), this insidious operation—conducted under the watchful eye of Democratic-controlled administrations—left thousands of unwitting residents inhaling toxic zinc cadmium sulfide, a compound that has since been linked to devastating health crises like cancer and organ damage.

Residents, now battling rare cancers and watching loved ones succumb prematurely, allege the government is still burying documents to evade accountability. This isn’t just a historical footnote; it’s a stark indictment of big government’s tyrannical overreach, particularly under leftist regimes that have long treated minority communities as disposable guinea pigs. As conservatives have warned for decades, when Democrats hold the reins, the deep state thrives on secrecy, experimentation, and disdain for the vulnerable—echoing the same paternalistic arrogance that fuels today’s woke agendas. The saga traces back to the Cold War era, specifically the 1950s and 1960s, when the Army’s Operation Large Area Coverage (LAC) unleashed plumes of zinc cadmium sulfide over St. Louis and other cities. This fluorescent powder, dispersed from rooftops, station wagons, and airplanes, was purportedly harmless at the time, but we now know cadmium is a potent carcinogen capable of causing lung cancer, kidney failure, and bone toxicity with prolonged exposure.

The Pruitt-Igoe housing project, a low-income enclave housing over 10,000 mostly Black residents—70% of them children under 12—bore the brunt of this assault. Army documents brazenly described the area as a “densely populated slum district,” with three-quarters Black inhabitants, making it a prime target for this macabre simulation of Soviet-style biological attacks. Residents recall eerie fogs rolling through streets, sticking to their skin, causing immediate headaches, nausea, and dizziness—symptoms dismissed as mere nuisances while the government played God with their lives. This wasn’t an accident; it was deliberate evil, orchestrated under Democratic leadership that prioritized shadowy military experiments over citizen safety. The spraying ramped up during the Kennedy and Johnson administrations, both Democrats, who inherited and expanded programs initiated in the twilight of Truman’s Democratic presidency.

Even as Republican Eisenhower held office mid-decade, the deep state’s momentum—fueled by leftist bureaucrats in the Pentagon and CIA—continued unchecked. St. Louis itself was a Democratic stronghold, with Mayor Raymond Tucker, a Democrat, in power from 1953 to 1965, turning a blind eye or worse, misleading residents with cover stories about “smoke screens” to protect against Russian threats. Conservatives see this as classic liberal hypocrisy: preaching equality while exploiting Black communities for expendable data points in their globalist games. It’s no coincidence that similar CIA germ warfare programs, involving neurotoxic plumes over cities, flourished under this Democratic dominance, revealing a pattern of using urban minorities as cannon fodder in the name of “national security.”

Health horrors abound in the aftermath. Survivors like Doris Spates, who lost her father inexplicably in 1955 and watched four siblings die of cancer, embody the human toll. She herself battled cervical cancer, wondering if the government’s poison was to blame. Mary Helen Brindell recalls the fog spewing from Army rooftops in her mixed-race neighborhood, only to later face thyroid and skin cancers. Ben Phillips and Chester Deanes, former Pruitt-Igoe residents, report clusters of rare illnesses: cancers, convulsions, benign tumors causing hearing loss, and heart failures decimating families. Phillips’ mother died of cancer, his sister suffered seizures, and Deanes’ brother perished from heart issues after lifelong struggles. A 1997 National Research Council report admitted that high doses of cadmium could lead to lung cancer and organ damage, yet the Army clings to outdated claims of safety, ignoring calls for comprehensive follow-up studies.

Independent sociologist Lisa Martino-Taylor’s research uncovered potential radioactive additives in the mix, linking the operation to notorious firms like U.S. Radium, infamous for contaminating workers. Conservatives argue this selective targeting reeks of racist eugenics, a leftist darling from the Progressive Era, where Democrats like Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger advocated controlling “undesirable” populations. The government’s response? Decades of stonewalling and half-truths. Details only surfaced in 1994, prompting congressional outrage and a perfunctory health study that whitewashed risks. Missouri Senators Claire McCaskill (D) and Roy Blunt (R) demanded answers in 2012, but the Army dragged its feet, claiming no harm despite evidence to the contrary.

By 2023, Republican Sen. Josh Hawley pushed legislation for compensation, endorsed by the Senate, while Democrat Joe Biden vaguely promised to “take care” of victims—empty words from a party complicit in the original sin. Groups like PHACTS (Pruitt-Igoe Historical Accounting, Compensation, and Truth Seeking) demand restitution, new health probes, and soil testing for lingering radiation, but bureaucratic hurdles persist. This cover-up exemplifies the deep state’s arrogance, amplified under Democrats who expand government power at the expense of liberty. Tying this to broader conservative critiques, it’s a microcosm of leftist experimentation on the vulnerable.
From Tuskegee syphilis studies under FDR’s Democratic watch to modern vaccine mandates under Biden, Democrats have a track record of treating Black Americans as lab rats.

The St. Louis spraying, part of a wider CIA germ warfare agenda, shows how socialists in power weaponize science against citizens, echoing Marxist disregard for individual rights. As one veteran resident lamented, “We fought for America, yet they used us like guinea pigs.” Today’s parallels are eerie: chemtrail conspiracies, COVID origins, and forced medical trials all stem from the same unaccountable bureaucracy that Democrats defend. Yet, hope glimmers in conservative pushback. Hawley’s bill could expand compensation, forcing acknowledgment of this atrocity. Victims like Jacqueline Russell and Lashea Caldwell demand justice, their stories amplified on platforms like X, where truth breaks through leftist censorship.

As Dom Lucre’s vid explains, residents are dying while the government hides files— a clarion call for transparency and reparations. Conservatives must lead the charge, dismantling the deep state that Democrats built and protected. This evil action isn’t ancient history, it’s a warning: unchecked liberal power poisons everything it touches.

From Grok: Yes, historical records confirm the U.S. Army secretly sprayed zinc cadmium sulfide (containing the carcinogen cadmium) in St. Louis neighborhoods, including predominantly Black areas like Pruitt-Igoe, during the 1950s-60s to simulate biological attacks. Official studies found low health risks, but residents report higher cancer rates and demand compensation and declassified documents for full truth.
