Historical medical abuses and human‑rights violations: A critical examination

Police opened fire on peaceful demonstrators in Soweto during the Apartheid era

It is not always easy to look straight into the eyes of some white people and accuse them of trying to kill a Black man. But if you are bold enough to tell them, they will never accept it and may even call you a mad person.

So, if a white man can go to that extent to commit such horrible crimes against a Black man, then what's the significance? Would you describe someone who deliberately commits a serious crime against a Black man as a kind person or someone with the intention to kill you?

Below are deliberate medical atrocities by White people against Africans and African Americans.

Dr. Wouter Basson - popularly known as doctor death

Dr Wouter Basson – popularly known as Doctor Death.


South African doctor Wouter Basson, who was the personal physician of the then South African Prime Minister P.W. Botha, was an African cardiologist and former head of the country's secret chemical and biological warfare project, “Project Coast”, during the South African Apartheid era. 



He is nicknamed "Dr Death" by the press for his alleged actions in apartheid South Africa. Basson was acquitted in 2002 of 67 charges in biological warfare cases, after having been suspended from his military post with full pay in 1999.


At the Special Forces SF Pretoria HQ, Brigadier Wouter Basson, a young military doctor, allegedly provides several operatives, above all Johan Theron, with curare-like agents; later, he gives them ketamine [2-(2-chlorophenyl)-(methylamino)-(cyclohexanone hydrochloride)], a veterinary anaesthetic known in South Africa as Ketelaar.


Theron and others inject these drugs into troublesome Southwest African People's Organisation (SWAPO) prisoners of war to suffocate them, after which their corpses are dropped into the sea from SADF aircraft. Theron killed at least 200 SWAPO members in this fashion, including five who were first put to sleep with Vesparax pills.


With Basson's help, Theron also uses his own colleagues as test subjects by giving them cans of soft drinks and beer into which "sleeping agents" have been injected with a thin needle.


Dubbed "Dr Death", Wouter Basson, also called the “South African Joseph Mengele” by the media, was controversially granted amnesty by the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission in 2002, escaping multiple charges of murder, and the commission administered a pill with a substance to make Black women infertile.


For over 50 years, most foreign mineworkers in South Africa have returned to their home countries after retrenchment or closure of the mines without accessing their social benefits. Malawi is one of the hardest-hit countries, with a population of ex-miners estimated at over 50,000.


Malawian ex-miners didn't have access to social benefits from South Africa, while most of them were used as guinea pigs for Wouter Basson's “Project Coast” for receiving biowarfare microorganisms.


Not only have several nosocomial infection outbreaks occurred in South Africa, but also the Marburg/Ebola virus disease (MVD) in Johannesburg in 1975. 


Some years later, Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever CCHF occurred near Cape Town in 1984, and Ebola virus disease, different names for the same virus, which are genetically identical, occurred in Johannesburg in 1996.


British Dr Wilson Carswell's crime in Uganda and South Africa

From 1989 to 1990, 1,558,800 batches of tuberculosis vaccine from the Pasteur Institute were administered to Ugandan children, resulting in diarrhoea, vomiting, cough, swollen lymph nodes in the armpit and on the neck, stunted growth, crippling, and death.


Dr Carlswell was then in Uganda when 'The Weekly Topic' newspaper accused CIA agents disguised as scientists and journalists of spreading lies about the origins of the AIDS virus. 


The Ugandan government should expel the so-called experts. Shortly afterward, unknown people ransacked the house of Wilson Carswell, the leading AIDS-research scientist in Uganda, and destroyed his computer together with all the AIDS files after the government discovered his role in the deliberate infection of the Ugandan population with the disease.


Dr Wilson Carswell, then a member of the British armed forces, escaped with his life. After a short stay with his commissioners in Porton Down, Great Britain, he was able to start up again as head of the Aids unit of the Department of National Health and Population Development in South Africa and continued his deliberate spread of AIDS. Today, South Africa has the highest HIV/AIDS rate in the world.


After completing his medical crimes, he thinks nobody knows about it; he wants the world to recognise him as a great person, so he, therefore, featured this in WIKIPEDIA.


John Wilson Carswell OBE FRCS (born 1937) is a Scottish physician who was one of the first medical researchers to identify HIV/AIDS in Uganda.


He graduated from King's College London with an MBBS in 1961 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1967. He worked as a consultant surgeon at Mulago Hospital, Kampala, from 1968 to 1987, where he became a leading AIDS researcher in the country.


He later served as a medical advisor to the Government of South Africa and worked in public health in the United States and Asia.


His experiences in Uganda, where he met Idi Amin, were an inspiration for the character Dr Garrigan in Giles Foden's novel The Last King of Scotland. His son was the first elected UK Independence Party Member of Parliament, Douglas Carswell.

 

Medical Crimes Against African-Americans in America

The deliberate infection of African-Americans with diseases

The deliberate infection of African Americans with diseases


From 1932 to 1972, the USA Public Health Service carried out a study entitled "Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Male Negro in Macon County", involving 400 dark-skinned men (African Americans) suffering from syphilis, who were deceived into believing that they were receiving effective treatment.



The disease and death of these men were carefully studied. 15 years later, the knowledge from this study was used. From 1986 to 1989, the number of Blacks in the USA suffering from syphilis increased by 132%, while the number of White Americans dropped by 69%. 


The infections of the African-Americans cannot have occurred as a result of sexual intercourse since, at the same time, there was a 23% drop in the rate of gonorrhoea, which is sexually transmitted. This reduction in numbers cannot be attributed to a new medication.

 

It, therefore, proves a reduction in the sexual spread of agents that can be sexually transmitted. The increased rate of syphilis infections among African-Americans was triggered by other methods. 


The syphilis agents that were spread affect the brain at an earlier stage and are particularly resistant to penicillin, compared with the hitherto existing syphilis agent.

F.W. De Klerk should have faced justice in the Hague like Charles Taylor

In the political reality of our world, justice has never been equal. It bends, it selects, and it protects those who benefit from its fragility. Frankly speaking, there has never been anything called “justice” for the Black man or the South African under apartheid. 

 

If true justice existed, F.W. de Klerk, former president of South Africa during the apartheid era, should have faced trial at the International Criminal Court in The Hague for the crimes committed under his leadership, including the killing of defenseless children.

 

Like a bird freed from its cage, de Klerk moved on with life, conveniently forgetting the brutal actions, racist philosophies, and oppressive regime he presided over. 

 

Today, he even dares to label Nelson Mandela, a global icon of peace, as a “brutal and unfair” political opponent. He speaks boldly because he knows the European-centered justice system has always favored leaders who carry bloodstains on their hands.

 

De Klerk never deserved to share the 1993 Nobel Peace Prize with Mandela. He released Mandela from prison only because the apartheid system was collapsing under global pressure. Yet he claimed Mandela was “not faultless.” That accusation is absurd. 

 

If Mandela was not faultless, what about de Klerk, whose regime murdered schoolchildren in cold blood? Mandela fought for his people’s freedom; they killed Steve Biko, but they could not silence Mandela.

 

Charles Taylor deserved to face justice for supporting Foday Sankoh and fueling atrocities in Sierra Leone. No one disputes that. However, when we consider the scale of crimes committed by apartheid leaders, decades of torture, massacres, racial segregation, and state-sponsored violence, none of them should have escaped judgment.

 

 Yet every one of them walked away with impunity because they were “white vampires sucking the blood of innocent Black people.” If the situation were reversed, the International Court in The Hague would have lined up every Black leader for trial.

 

The world cannot pretend that justice is blind. It sees color. It sees power. It sees political alliances. Charles Taylor’s imprisonment cannot be used as proof that the International Court is doing a good job. Partiality rules in The Hague, and history has shown this repeatedly.

 

If Nazi leaders are still hunted today for the killing of six million Jews, as they should be, then any surviving apartheid leader, and every foreign leader who supported that evil regime, including former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, must also face justice. 

 

Only then will the world believe that the International Court in The Hague is truly committed to fairness. Justice must not be selective. Justice must not be racial. Justice must not protect one group while punishing another. 

 

Until the crimes of apartheid are treated with the same seriousness as other crimes against humanity, the world will continue to witness a justice system that favors the powerful and abandons the oppressed.
