There's some very informative links on the article's page for those of us that love the truth.

1. Redirecting the research funds towards military projects essentially reduces the funds available for

other, primary research. One more way BushCo reduced research funds in a sneaky way. If agencies like NIH had not funded research with military applications, they would have been interrogated by Republicans and threatened with further cuts. Congress provides NIH with broad goals as to what funding is to accomplish and they made it clear "national security" research needed funding.

2. If Civilian research is desired by the Military, they will take it.

The Military has many tools in it's arsenal, such as hiding patents under National Security, the Economic Hitmen, or outright Murder.

3. Both APA's have members that participate in torture, torture does not necessarily involve physical

violence directly. That's part and parcel of neuroweapons.
