Please tell him this.Want to go to heaven? Trust Jesus Christ Life, death, burial, and Resurrection alone. His death on the cross for your sins. Yes you can't be saved unless you acknowledge that you're a lost sinner and that you deserve hell, and that Jesus Christ died for your sins.. all you have to do is trust in him asking him to forgive you and save you and you can spend eternity in heaven with God. It's personal. You can have his righteousness transferred to your account so you don't have to be judged for your own sins instead you get judge based on his righteousness. Don't trust mary, don't trust your church membership, don't trust your good works/goodness. Salvation is in Jesus Christ alone nothing more. Eternal life is a free gift and Jesus paid it All. Christians are good because we love him, not to earn our way to heaven. There is so much fake christianity, many people who have tried to work their way to heaven as a fake Christian will get cast down to hell because they're trusting in their own good works and not Jesus Christ alone.

If you want to really know what happened to these soldiers and many other unsuspecting enlisted men, I suggest reading "Secrets of Edgewood" by The New Yorker. These soldiers had absolutely no idea or given very vague descriptions they were being drugged, what the drugs were, the side-effects of the drugs during the testing, the lasting physical and/or psychological side-effects (suicide, depression, neuro-muscular disorders, psychosis, etc.), and NONE were given post-testing follow-up care or consideration. These men did not do this as voluntarily as you think. Top brass is very persuasive to inferiors ("You signed up for this, so do it") so that they kowtow to demands. I'm glad you thought this propaganda was so interesting that you spent a mint on it. You should be glad it wasn't you getting pricked by Colonel "Dreamboat" Ketchum.

It inhibits the action of acetylcholine that of which its psychotropic properties are responsible for basic cognition and creating your image of the world as you see it. This is not like lsd in any way, the hallucinations are of a psychotic nature, (eg: seeing things that are not there, hearing voices that are not there, "plucking" or "picking" at perceived parasites or bugs) and exhibits a unique inhibition of proper expression of emotion or language, or "speaking in tongues," characterized by an accute and total stupor.

@@TheSynthZone The thought about someone using BZ as a riot control agent really shows that some of those in charge, has zero idea about what BZ was intended for. Using it in that fashion is as clever as giving someone with a psychotic episode cocaine to calm him down. Using a hallucinogen as BZ in war serves two purposes. Create confusion which hopefully immobilizes the enemy, and if you're lucky, they'll turn their weapons on themselves or their fellow soldiers.

[@duanedragon2]

They are doing the same thing right now military wide with social engineering.

[@dexked]

My dad signed up for weapons testing while in Vietnam in 68 and they used lad BZ and a third unnamed confusion agent. Wild.

[@dexked]

LSD * he was able to get them to admit it was lsd and BZ but not the third because he had apparently signed something saying he would never ask. But it was another extremely powerful psychedelic.

[@bjbumb]

What's amazing (at least to me) is the fact that while these guys were tripping, they probably felt completely normal and even had forgotten that they were on anything at all. This is some military-grade hallucinogenic stuff that the civilian world never had access to. Who'd want to take BZ for fun, anyway?

[@MattttG3]

I would totally try it if I just was told what it is molecularly, is it a PCP type or lsd type or marijuana type ? Peyote ? Idk but I would need to before I just take something. I highly doubt it’s much different than the named above

[@MattttG3]

I stand corrected, I just looked it up and it would actually be closest to tripping on a heavy dose of Dramamine or Dextromethorphan

[@brianbaldino3496]

1:52 where can I get a phone like that!

[@Blemmo]

0:54 "wtf I am doing here"

[@AnxietyAddict]

The absolute size of that phone

[@theheartlandgroup757]

Radio….

[@islandborn1457]

WOW the size of that walkie talkie is crazy

[@DiamondFade]

bz is basically buff dph like the fent of dph

[@92GreyBlue]

Human guinea pigs

[@pharaohgodreem1254]

This looks like a movie scene

[@gardener3030]

The military medical diagnostic goes like this: “Hot as hell dry as a bone crazier than shit.”

[@noname-bt9ky]

They had nice cuts tho.

[@monaiannucci7831]

You will remember everything

[@kennedydixon3889]

this is so cynical… what do you mean?

[@TheSynthZone]

lol

[@TeachMeHow2Douglas]

The peak of hunan ingenuity. Lets figure out ways to make humans less human.

[@douglaswilkinson5700]

Sure glad the Soviets didn't conduct drug test like these!

[@liamsdad33]

Im from the government and im here to help

[@H33t3Speaks]

Ironically this was all done to see if one could wage a war without casualties. The principle notion being you’d just incapacitate armies at an operational and tactical level, then roll in with antidote and sort disoriented personnel via intelligence priority. Whole program was scrapped but useful research did come out of it. I read the memoir of the chief scientist for the program. Fascinating stuff.

[@Anomalous-One]

36 hour no sleep unvoluntary trip? fuck that (yes he may have volunteered, but he wasnt informed) This is physical and psychological torture!!! *I guarantee* this poor guy wasnt informed on what he was undertaking.

[@forekin836]

For a brief period of time, these guys were the coolest soldiers in the military.

[@tripical]

Nah this is like taking alot of benadryl or like lower doses of datura that shit sounds not fun at all

[@_LC23]

BZ WAS EASILY FATAL. BENADRYL? BZ WAS ONE OF THE DEADLIEST AGENTS IN THE WORLD. IT ISNT BENADRYL, AND IT ISN'T AN ACID TRIP. ITS AN INCOMPACITATING CHEMICAL AGENT THAT WAS INTENDED FOR USE IN REAL LIFE WARFARE.

[@nicksalvatore5717]

This is not a good time.

[@UnrealatedContingency]

The us army has to be the worst trip sitter ever

[@MrRobertX70]

What's crazy is that these guys volunteered for this!

[@flipsterfloppa9065]

id guess they weren’t given details on the effects

[@LetsBarkAndRoll]

what’s with the creepy whispering added in the background? anyone else hearing it?

[@flipsterfloppa9065]

old comment but that’s just background noise, fans or ventilation plus years of film degradation

[@sylviemn]

Thanks. Have a great day,

[@TheSynthZone]

have a great half century!

[@ElHombreGato]

This is some Vault-tech shit right here

[@ekimnamdets6946]

Wouldn’t surprise me if it still goes on but they’ve almost perfected widespread psyops

[@MountainRaven1960]

The short skinny guy gets a high dose, the heavier guy gets a low dose….. should be interesting, what could go wrong? (Lots!)

[@SAINTKNICKOLE]

Almost seems intentional

[@brook3lynnn]

It’s the other soldiers or test takers that aren’t tripping hiding laughter in the background the whole time. 😭😭😩

[@petermelnyk7664]

It was the elves telling carpenter that war is bad.

[@kalki0273]

The British tested LSD on their troops in the 1950's. There used to be video of it here on youtube. They were in the field. Most started laughing and staggering around if, memory serves.

[@SHTshtira]

love that 1:40 in description

[@kanedNunable]

tripping balls and people walking around with gas masks on looking like a knockoff darth vader

[@theway674]

That Walkie talkie Iooks like the cell phones from the 80’s.

[@SolitudesSamurai]

Jacobs Ladder.

[@prankster1590]

A BZ trip is described as a Datura trip with PCP for days

[@lorriecarrel9962]

Those men probably had lasting effects that troubled them

[@infernalmedia1784]

These poor men...

[@chanonjaiyai1975]

It would be so cool if Marzia told you a recipe a step-by-step in Italian and you had to follow it’s

[@jaymac7203]

1:40 Look how huge the radio is looooool 😭😭😭😂😂😂

[@Dookie_burner]

Why is my phone so damn big ? Got me tripping

[@NicCageForPresident2024]

When I was in the army which I enlisted in 2005 I used to have the most Vivid nightmares where I was being experimented on and I was in these facilities where I could not Escape it was so terrifying. Now that I'm no longer in the Army thank God I don't have those nightmares anymore. I'm pretty sure that never happened unless I did have something happened to me and my memory was just repressed or something. When you are in the military the government owns you they can give you an assignment that you don't even know what's actually going on.

[@Jay-kk3dv]

BZ is one of the craziest drugs.

[@Lovereignsupreme]

Poor unfortunate Sir Drozni.🤕
