This account "Historic Vids" says there is, "limited credible information to support such claims" the CIA had a heart attack gun. Here is a video of the 1975 Church Committee hearing where CIA Director William Colby himself testified and confirmed the existence of this gun.

The gun, developed under Project MK Naomi, used an electronic firing mechanism to silently shoot a dart made of frozen shellfish toxin. A high enough dose can completely shut down the cardiovascular system, causing the person's heart to stop as if they had a heart attack.

In 1975 it was reported that 27 lethal and incapacitating agents were found at a CIA lab which were developed with the Army in a joint project at Ft. Detrick. Despite presidential directives to do so in 1969 and 1970, Colby claimed the cost and difficulty of isolating the shellfish toxin was so great, it made no sense to destroy it.

Director Colby also told the Senate committee that the CIA had 11 grams of the stuff in their inventory — enough to kill hundreds of thousands of people, further testimony indicated.

The CIA also kept stocks of cobra venom, strychnine, salmonella, tuberculosis, brucellosis, and ergotrate malcate which is used in obstetrics to promote uterine contractions.

Oh, and something to "infect its enemies" with "severe mental depression" apparently.

It bothers me the original post on a history account was seen over a million times on this platform and it is completely incorrect. Is that over a million people who read that and walked away thinking this was just another unfounded conspiracy theory when it is, in fact, true?

I mean, it took me all of 15 minutes to find all these articles (and more) and that video. Maybe less. Sheesh.

History is way too important to be so lazy about it, especially if you get to have your posts promoted and seen by millions of people.

At least this conspiracy theorist attempts to do actual research.
