Insect / bacteriological warfare targeting civilian populations in Korea and Manchuria during the Korean War. Fucked up: youtu.be
Forgotten US attrocities

Also it's not so much "forgotten" in the U.S. as actively suppressed and some scientists who knew about this – who the govt would fear would talk – were probably assassinated by being dosed with LSD and then thrown off rooftops. This is where the MKULTRA thing came from – actually a cover story to explain these scientist deaths as suicides. Anyways, I hear that the DPRK still has some of these insects preserved in their main military museum in Pyongyang.
Would also recommend listening to the Radio War Nerd episode the other day with Kris Newby about her book on lyme disease as a U.S. biological weapon. Around 300,000 Americans come down with lyme disease every year and the theory is that it's due to a bioweapons release during the Cold War. And information from the government is pretty much on lockdown so medical providers have been caught unaware. It has been up to the Europeans to try and find a vaccine.
These weapons were used to try to destroy Cuba's sugar economy. There were pilots given missions to drop canisters over Cuba in the 1960s and the crew would be in the air and go "what's in these canisters anyways?" And crack one open and see thousands of creepy, crawling insects swarming in front of them. Of course the crew member then recoils in horror and knocks the canister over and the bugs get out…

Surprised Github hasn't taken this down yet. Use a noncensorious git like Gitlab.

I didn't make it, but that's not a bad idea since Microsoft owns Github now.

I want to know more about this.

It's archived in case it's taken down by Microsoft.

The documentary Wormwood hints at the assassinations part and Seymour Hersh is the film, and all but states explicitly – because he has to protect his sources – that MKULTRA was a cover story (note Hersh broke the original story about MKULTRA in 1973 but basically admits today he got played). Watch the video as well in that post which was produced by China during the war.
