Glad you archived that heart attack gun article. I've been looking for a good roundup of the primary sources on that topic for a while!
The NYT took down the 1975 article "Colby describes CIA poison work" that the Citizen Truth story referenced sometime after August 17, 2018. Luckily, some savvy soul archived it on that date before they wiped it.
Heh. We're the News now.
I love having references like this from liberal sources to use on liberals when they try to play the "conspiracy theory" card.
What's really intriguing about this is that it points to the possibility that the CIA in the 1970s was not controlled by the same people as the NYT, like they are today, otherwise why would they have reported on it and now have to scrub it?
In 1975 a congressional hearing revealed the CIA had numerous top-secret weapons including a gun that became known as the “CIA heart attack gun.”
In 1975 Congress investigated the CIA out of concern that former President Nixon may have used the CIA in an abuse of his powers. Nixon had resigned from office the previous year on August 9, 1974, fearing impeachment amidst the Watergate scandal. One revelation from the Congressional hearings was that the CIA had a secret assassination weapon otherwise known as the “heart attack gun”.
According to a video interview with Mary Embree, a former CIA employee, she was asked to help develop an “ice gun”. The CIA asked her to help find a poison which when administered would mimic a heart attack in a person but remain undetectable.
She said the heart attack gun reportedly could pierce through clothing, leaving no signs of impact on the skin except a small red dot. The targeted person would feel nothing beyond a slight sting, comparable to a mosquito bite.
In the 1998 video interview Embree said, “The poison was frozen into some sort of dart and then it was shot at very high speed into the person. When it reached the person it would melt inside them, and there would be a tiny red dot on their body, which was hard to detect. There wouldn’t be a needle or anything like that left in the person.”
There’s more to read but this video is a must watch...
