THE GOVERNMENT’S FOG U.S. Government Admits To Spraying A Black Neighborhood In St. Louis With A Mysterious, Cancer-Causing Fog In A Secret Cold War Experiment!

Cold War Secret: Army Admits Spraying Toxic Chemicals Over St. Louis Housing Project

In the 1950s and 60s, residents of Pruitt-Igoe, a predominantly Black public housing complex in St. Louis, often saw a strange, heavy fog rolling through their neighborhood. Children recall playing in the thick, foul-smelling smoke, never imagining that they were part of a secret government experiment.

Decades later, the U.S. Army has acknowledged that the fog wasn’t harmless. It contained zinc cadmium sulfide, a chemical later identified as a potential carcinogen. The covert program, carried out during the Cold War, was designed to test how a biological attack might spread in an urban environment.

Today, former residents are dealing with the devastating consequences. Many have developed rare and aggressive cancers, and families believe the health crisis is tied directly to those secret tests. Some survivors also suspect the government has not told the full truth — fearing that radioactive materials may have been part of the experiments.

Now, community members are demanding answers, transparency, and compensation. They argue that Pruitt-Igoe residents were treated as disposable subjects in a dangerous experiment, with devastating generational impacts.

What began as a hidden Cold War program is now resurfacing as a painful chapter of American history — one that residents say can only be closed with justice and accountability.
