👉 The Deadly Project, also known as the "Project 112," was a clandestine U.S. government initiative that operated from the 1950s to the early 1970s, primarily during the height of the Cold War. Its primary goal was to develop and deploy biological and chemical weapons, including pathogens like anthrax and smallpox, as well as toxins and other deadly agents, to deter or retaliate against perceived threats from the Soviet Union and other adversaries. The project involved extensive research, development, and testing of these agents, often using animals and, in some cases, human subjects. The ethical implications were profound, as the project raised significant concerns about human rights and international law, leading to widespread condemnation and eventual declassification and termination.
