MOST PRESSING MATTER CONCERNING HUMAN RACE!

DEPLETED URANIUM: 56% of soldiers who served in Gulf War now have medical problems

You will quickly recognize this information as the same that you have read over and over in your local newspaper. And heard over and over on the TV news.

What? You haven't seen this in your local paper? It hasn't been on the TV news? How could that be? It is widely discussed in other parts of the world. Italy, for instance, just reported that 109 of the Italian troops stationed in Iraq have already died from depleted uranium poisoning.

But in the United States, the horrific, continuous use of DEPLETED URANIUM in Iraq and Afghanistan is censored. With rare exception, you read nothing about it in the papers and hear nothing about it on the TV news. In fact, DEPLETED URANIUM was selected as one of the top ten censored stories in the U.S. media last year.

Is this important? Not only is it essential that we know that our troops are being intentionally nuked and that many 10s of thousands of Iraqi men, women and children are going to die from this ghastly situation, but we are soon likely to have a UNIVERSAL DRAFT in America. It probably will be in effect by mid-2005. It will force our young men and women to enter the military and many will be sent to Iraq, Afghanistan and to whatever additional areas that Mr. Bush decides to invade.

THESE ARE OUR CHILDREN ! THEY ARE GOING TO BE ROUNDED UP AND SENT TO IRAQ!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE....... SEND THIS MESSAGE TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. WE CAN'T ALLOW THE MEDIA TO PREVENT US FROM KNOWING THAT OUR CHILDREN ARE BEING INTENTIONALLY MURDERED IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN !!!!

Thoughts by David J. Smith

The following is a report by Leuren Moret, a geoscientist who has worked around the world on radiation issues, educating citizens, the media, members of parliaments and Congress and other officials. She became a whistleblower in 1991 at the Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab after experiencing major science fraud on the Yucca Mountain Project. She is an environmental commissioner in the City of Berkeley.

The Report:


“Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.” Henry Kissinger as quoted in the book “Kiss the Boys Goodbye: How the United States Betrayed Its Own POW’s in Vietnam.”

Vietnam was a chemical war for oil, permanently contaminating large regions and countries downriver with Agent Orange, and environmentally the most devastating war in world history. But since 1991, the U.S. has staged four nuclear wars using DEPLETED URANIUM weaponry, which, like Agent Orange, meets the U.S. government’s definition of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Vast regions in the Middle East and Central Asia have been permanently contaminated with radiation.

What about our soldiers? Terry Jemison of the Department of Veterans Affairs reported in August 2004 that “Gulf-era veterans” now on medical disability since 1991 number 518,739 - with only 7,035 men reported wounded in Iraq in that same 14-year period. In August 2004 the American Free Press dropped a surprise on the Pentagon by reporting that eight out of twenty men who served in one unit in the 2003 U.S. military offensive in Iraq now have malignancies. That means that 40% of the soldiers in that unit have developed malignancies in just 16 months.

Since these soldiers were exposed to vaccines and depleted uranium ONLY, this is strong evidence for researchers and scientists working on this issue – that depleted uranium IS the definitive cause of Gulf War Syndrome. Vaccines are not known to cause cancer. One of the first published researchers on Gulf War Syndrome, who also served in 1991 in Iraq, Dr. Andras Korenyl-Both, is in agreement with Barbara Goodno from the Department of Defense’s Deployment Health Support Directorate, that in this war soldiers were not exposed to chemicals, pesticides, biological agents or other suspect causes which tend to confuse the issue as to why our soldiers are getting sick.

This powerful new evidence is blowing holes in the cover-up perpetrated by the Pentagon and three presidential administrations ever since depleted uranium was first used in 1991 in the Persian Gulf War. Fourteen years after the introduction of depleted uranium on the battlefield in 1991, the long-term effects have revealed that depleted uranium is a DEATH SENTENCE and very nasty stuff.

Scientists studying the biological effects of uranium in the 1960s reported that it targets the DNA. Marion Fulk, a nuclear physical chemist retired from the Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab and became formally involved with the Manhattan Project, interprets the new and rapid malignances in soldiers from the 2003 war as “spectacular … and a matter of concern.”

This evidence shows that of the three effects which depleted uranium has on biological systems – radiation, chemical and particulate – the particulate effect from nano-size particles is the most dominant one that can be found immediately after exposure and targets the MASTER CODE in the DNA. This is bad news, but it explains why depleted uranium causes a myriad of diseases which are difficult to define. In simple words, depleted uranium “trashes the body.” When asked if the main purpose for using it was for destroying things and killing people, Marion Fulk was more specific: “I would say that it is THE PERFECT WEAPON FOR KILLING LOTS OF PEOPLE.”

Soldiers developing malignancies so quickly since 2003 can be expected to develop multiple cancers from independent causes. This phenomenon has been reported by doctors in hospitals treating civilians following NATO bombing with depleted uranium in Yugoslavia in 1998-1999, and the U.S. military invasion of Iraq using depleted uranium for the first time in 1991. Medical experts report that this phenomenon of multiple malignancies from unrelated causes has been unknown until now and is a new syndrome associated with internal depleted uranium exposure.

Just 467 U.S. personnel were wounded in the three-week Persian Gulf War in 1990-1991. Out of 580,400 soldiers who served in Gulf War I, 11,000 are dead, and by the year 2000 there were 325,000 on permanent medical disability. This astounding number of disabled vets means that a decade later, 56% of those soldiers who served now have medical problems. The number of disabled vets reported up to the year 2000 has been increasing by 43,000 every year. Brad Flohr of the Department of Veterans Affairs said that he believes there are more disabled vets now than after World War II.

Not only were soldiers exposed to depleted uranium on and off the battlefields, but they brought it home. Depleted uranium in the semen of soldiers internally contaminated their wives, partners and girlfriends. Tragically, some women in their 20s and 30s who were sexual partners of exposed soldiers developed endometriosis and were forced to have hysterectomies because of health problems.

In a group of 251 soldiers from a study group in Mississippi who had all had normal babies before the Gulf War, 67% of their post-war babies were born with severe birth defects! They were born with missing legs, arms, organs or eyes or had immune system and blood diseases. In some veteran’s families now, the only normal or healthy members of the family are the children born before the war.

The Department of Veteran’s Affairs has stated that they do not keep records of birth defects occurring in families of veterans. HOW DID THEY HIDE IT?

Before a new weapons system can be used, it must be fully tested. The blueprint for depleted uranium weapons is a 1943 declassified document from the Manhattan Project.

Harvard President and physicist James B. Conant, who developed poison gas in World War I, was brought into the Manhattan Project by the father of former presidential candidate in 2004, John Kerry. Kerry’s father served at a high level in the Manhattan Project and was also a CIA agent.

Conant was chair of the S-1 Poison Gas Committee, which recommended developing poison gas weapons from the radioactive trash of the atomic bomb project in World War II. At that time, it was KNOWN that radioactive materials dispersed in bombs from the air, from land vehicles or on the battlefield produced very fine radioactive dust which would penetrate ALL protective clothing, any gas mask or filter or the skin. By contaminating the lungs and blood, it could kill or cause illness very quickly.

They also recommended it as a PERMANENT terrain contaminant, which could be used to destroy populations by contaminating water supplies and agricultural land with the radioactive dust.

The first depleted uranium system was developed for the Navy in 1968. Depleted uranium weapons were given to and used by Israel in 1973 under U.S. supervision in the Yom Kippur war against the Arabs.

The Phalanx weapons system, using depleted uranium, was tested on the USS Bigelow out of Hunters Point Naval Shipyard in 1977. Depleted uranium weapons have been sold by the U.S. to 29 countries.

Military research report summaries detail the testing of depleted uranium from 1974-1999 at military testing grounds, bombing and gunnery ranges and civilian labs under contract. Today, 42 states have contamination from manufacture, testing and deployment of depleted uranium.

Women living around these facilities have reported increases in endometriosis, birth defects in babies, leukemia in children and cancers and other diseases in adults. Thousand of tons of depleted uranium weapons tested for decades by the Navy on four bombing and gunnery ranges around Fallon, Nevada, is no doubt the cause of the fastest growing leukemia cluster in the U.S. over the past decade. The military denies that depleted uranium is the cause. The medical profession has been active in the cover-up – just as they were in hiding the effects from the American public – of low level radiation from atmospheric testing and nuclear power plants. A medical doctor in Northern California reported being trained by the Pentagon with other doctors, months before the 2003 war started, to diagnose and treat soldiers returning from the 2003 war for mental problems ONLY.

Medical professionals in hospitals and facilities treating returning soldiers were threatened with $10,000 fines if they talked about the soldiers or their medical problems. They were also threatened with jail.

Reporters have also been prevented access to more than 14,000 medically evacuated soldiers flown nightly since the 2003 war began in C-150s from Germany, who are brought to Walter Reed Hospital near Washington, D.C.

How was the truth about depleted uranium hidden from military personnel serving in successive depleted uranium wars? Before his tragic death, Senator Paul Wellstone informed Joyce Riley, R.N., B.S.N., executive director of the American Gulf War Veterans Association, that 95% of Gulf War veterans had been recycled out of the military by 1995. Any of those continuing in military service were isolated from each other, preventing critical information from being transferred to new troops. The “next depleted uranium war” had already been planned when President Bush came into office, and those planning it wanted no one to expose it. The U.S. has a depleted uranium secret that it does not want to get out.

A new book just published, “The High Priests of War,” details the early plans for a war against the Arab world by Henry Kissinger and others in the late 1960s and early 1970s. That just happens to coincide with getting the depleted uranium “show on the road,” and the oil crisis in the Middle East, which caused concern to President Nixon. The British had been plotting and scheming for control of the oil in Iraq for decades.

The book details the creation of the neo-conservatives by their “godfather” and Communist Leon Trotsky lover Irving Kristol, who pushed for a “WAR AGAINST TERRORISM” long before 9/11 and was lavishly funded for years by the CIA. His son, William Kristol, is one of the most influential men in the United States behind the scenes. Both are public relations men for the Israeli lobby’s neo-conservative network, with strong ties to Rupert Murdoch. Kissinger also has ties to this network and to the Carlyle Group, who, one could say, has facilitated these omnicidal wars beginning from the time former President Bush took office. It would be easy to say that we are recycling World Wars I and II, with practically the same faces running the show.

When I asked Vietnam Special Ops Green Beret Captain John McCarthy who could have devised this omnicidal plan to use depleted uranium to destroy the genetic code and genetic future of large populations of Arabs and Moslems in the Middle East and Central Asia where most of the world’s oil deposits are located, he replied: “It has all the handprints of Henry Kissinger.”

In Zbignew Brzezinski’s book, “The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy and Its Geostrategic Imperatives,” the map of the Eurasian chessboard includes four regions strategic to U.S. foreign policy. The “South” region corresponds precisely to the regions NOW contaminated permanently with radiation from U.S. bombs, missiles and bullets made with thousands of tons of depleted uranium.

A Japanese professor, Dr. K. Yagasaki, has calculated that 800 tons of depleted uranium is the atomicity equivalent of 83,000 Nagasaki bombs. The U.S. has used more depleted uranium since 1991 than the atomicity equivalent of 400,000 Nagasaki bombs. That equals four nuclear wars, and 10 times the amount of radiation released into the atmosphere from atmospheric testing!
No wonder our soldiers, their families and the people of the Middle East, Yugoslavia and Central Asia are sick. And what about American veterans becoming sicker than ever? But as Henry Kissinger said after Vietnam when our soldiers came home ill from Agent Orange: “Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used for foreign policy.”

Unfortunately, more and more of those soldiers are men and women with brown skin. And unfortunately, the depleted uranium radioactive dust will be carried around the world and deposited in our environments just as the “smog of war” from the 1991 Gulf War was found in deposits in South America, the Himalayas and Hawaii.

In June 2003, the World Health Organization announced in a press release that GLOBAL CANCER RATES will increase 50% by 2020. What else do they know that they aren’t telling us? I KNOW THAT DEPLETED URANIUM IS A DEATH SENTENCE … for ALL of us. We will all die in silent ways!

That is, if Jesus does not intervene in world affairs!!!
Matthew 24:21-22

Cellular/genetic damage done by radiation is preventable, reversable, you can deal with it, you just need to know what to do. True that. Most people do not have a clue as to how to protect themselves.

could you direct me to a source! from what i know its not reversable hence the soldiers are dying!!!

You can reverse radiation burns with an E-meter and a comb and a piece of waxed paper. Yeah, it works like a charm! E-Z and fun!

about depleted uranium, its Rokke. He called its use a "crime against humanity".

Effects of dietary supplements on space radiation-induced oxidative stress in Sprague-Dawley rats.

Guan J, Wan XS, Zhou Z, Ware J, Donahue JJ, Biaglow JE, Kennedy AR.

Department of Radiation Oncology, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19104-6072, USA.

Of particular concern for the health of astronauts during space travel is radiation from protons and high-mass, high-atomic-number (Z), and high-energy particles (HZE particles). Space radiation is known to induce oxidative stress in astronauts after extended space flight. In the present study, the total antioxidant status was used as a biomarker to evaluate oxidative stress induced by gamma rays, protons and HZE-particle radiation.


The results demonstrate that the plasma level of total antioxidants in Sprague-Dawley rats was significantly decreased (P < 0.01) in a dose-dependent manner within 4 h after exposure to gamma rays. Exposure to protons and HZE-particle radiation also significantly decreased the serum or plasma level of total antioxidants in the irradiated animals.

Diet supplementation with L-selenomethionine alone or a combination of selected antioxidant agents was shown to partially or completely prevent the decrease in the serum or plasma levels of total antioxidants in animals exposed to gamma rays, protons or HZE particles. These findings suggest that exposure to space radiation may compromise the capacity of the host antioxidant defense and that this adverse biological effect can be prevented at least partially by dietary supplementation with L-selenomethionine and antioxidants.

Modulation of light-induced skin tumors by N-acetylcysteine and/or ascorbic acid in hairless mice.

D'Agostini F, Balansky RM, Camoirano A, De Flora S.

Department of Health Sciences, University of Genoa, Via A. Pastore 1, I-16132 Genoa, Italy.
>>By using an UV-C filter, this light mimics solar radiation and induces a variety of genomic and transcriptional alterations in mouse skin. UV-related carcinogenesis involves depletion of antioxidants and glutathione in skin cells. On this basis, we evaluated modulation of carcinogenicity of UV-C-covered halogen lamps in SKH-1 hairless mice by the antioxidants N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) and ascorbic acid (AsA). Both agents were given in the drinking water, either individually or in combination.

The earliest skin lesions were detected after 300 days of exposure to light and became confluent in a number of mice after 480 days. NAC administration prolonged the latency time by 90 days. Moreover, NAC considerably and significantly decreased both incidence and multiplicity of light-induced skin tumors, prevented the occurrence of malignant lesions (squamocellular carcinomas), and reduced the tumor size.<<

Influence of oral antioxidants on ultraviolet radiation-induced skin damage in humans.

Swindells K, Rhodes LE.

Photobiology Unit, Dermatology Centre, University of Manchester School of Medicine and Hope Hospital, Manchester, UK.

Ultraviolet radiation (UVR) causes a range of acute and chronic adverse cutaneous effects, in addition to some beneficial effects. In present times, the skin is generally exposed to higher levels of UVR, such that inherent defence mechanisms become overwhelmed. Complications, notably skin malignancies, show a serious rise in incidence. Since many effects of UVR are mediated through generation of reactive oxygen species, antioxidant supplementation provides a strategy to combat their excess generation, and hence reduce the clinical consequences. Human supplementation studies examining the potential of a range of oral agents to protect against UVR-induced skin effects show mixed results; further studies should examine whether certain subgroups of the population may show augmented benefit.

SILENT WMDs EFFECTS OF DEPLETED URANIUM

By Admiral Vishnu Bhagwat
Former Chief of the Naval Staff, India

FEBRUARY 29, 2004

Heat not a furnace for your foe so hot ..that it do singe yourself.
- William Shakespeare

This brief presentation is aimed at conveying to the primarily Indian participants of the Conference the fateful and disastrous consequences of the indiscriminate use of depleted and non DU munitions on the people of the west, central and south Asian regions, women, children , men , animals, plant and animal life now and in the future, in gross violation of international law, the Hague convention and domestic US military law.

Official Gamma Ray damage caused studies have been deficient in a number of respects..internal contamination, internal dose to individual cells, omissions of diseases other than cancer, mutagenic, long term degeneration , oncogenesis, effects of the killer isotopes in particular. The case studies of the years 1945-50 were ignored. A recent European Parliament Report ECRR 2003 (European Committee on
Radiation Risk ) concludes that A Bomb studies underestimate the radiation risk by more than 1000 times and failed to consider the internal exposure and diseases caused by Alpha and Beta rays. They did not consider the Manhattan Project classified memo that, in case the Project objective of producing Plutonium fission and theA Bomb did not succeed , Depleted Uranium munitions would be deployed towards the attainment of the same objective (encl. 1).

DU weapons emit Alpha particle dose to a single cell from U-238 which is 50 times the annual dose level. Cancer is initiated with one alpha particle, its daughter isotopes effect generations as the isotopes bio-concentrate in plants and animals, and travel up the food chain. It is a nuclear weapon because the energy is derived from the nucleus of the atom. They enter the body through the lungs, the digestive system or breaks in the skin. One gram of DU releases more than 12,000 particles per second. The radiation slowly kills the cells that make life possible. The Gulf War syndrome of 1991 did just that ( reported by Dr Asaf Durakovic, Prof. of Medicine , Georgetown University, and discoverer of the Gulf War Syndrome.)

We are well aware that the radiation fall-out map Under the Cloud: Decades of Nuclear Testing has demonstrated the effects of 1200 nuclear weapon tests conducted at the Nevada Test Site; and the US Government admitted in Nov. 2002, that every living person in the US between 1958-63 was exposed to this fall out resulting in cancer, gene mutation, heart disease, autism, diabetes, Parkinsons, ALS, asthma, chronic fatigue syndrome , hypothyroidism in new-borns, obesity and learning disabilities. One out of twelve children in the US is disabled. The fall out did not stop at the US borders. It travelled around the world, as atmospheric dust and remains even in the biosphere/ sub-orbital space today. High breast cancer rates have been co-located in the proximity of nuclear power plants in the west and more so in the east coast areas of the US (The Breast cancer map from The Enemy Within: the high cost of living near nuclear reactors, quotes US Govt. Disease Control Centers.

The Radiation & Public health Report (RPHP), rendered by a group of independent scientists collected 4000 baby teeth and by measuring Strontium 90 levels in the baby teeth ( a built in dosi-meter ) they have been able to co-relate with radiation related diseases in children living near the nuclear power plants; the main path ways being dairy products and drinking water.

The induction of DU weapons in 1991 in Iraq, the radio-active trash from nuclear plants broke a 46 year taboo. This Trojan Horse of nuclear war, an omnicidal weapon has since then continued to be used more and more. DU remains radioactive longer than the age of the earth ( estimated at 4.5 billion years. )

The long-term effects from over a decade of DU exposures are emerging in Southern Iraq. They are devastating. The increased quantities of radio-active material ( including non-depleted uranium), used in Afghanistan are 3 to 5 times greater than Iraq 199. In Iraq 2003 they are already estimated to be 6 to 10 times 1991 and will travel through a larger area and affect many more people, babies and unborn. Countries within a 1000 mile radius of Baghdad and Kabul are being affected by radiation poisoning , that includes the Capital, New
Delhi, where the ruling elite lives. The reported coming of an AIDS epidemic last year in India , down wind, may have a relationship to DU bombing in Afghanistan. If we think cancer is a problem now wait until more DU is released in wars against terror and for regime change, on mistaken Intelligence reports.

More than 500 tons of DU munitions have been dispensed in Afghanistan. Professor Yagasaki calculated that 800 tons of DU is the atomicity equivalent to 83,000 Nagasaki bombs in a paper presented at the World Uranium Weapons Conference in Hamburg in October 2003 ( 5 months ago ). The amount of DU used in Iraq in 2003 is equivalent to nearly 250,000 Nagasaki bombs ( Busby and Leuren Moret have calculated that 1900 tons of DU is equivalent to 60 TBq of Alfa and Beta particulate activity).

We need not ennumerate the DU munition types used in Iraq 199, Kosovo 1999, Afghanistan 2001-04 and Iraq 2003. They have been dispensed by all air / ground and sea systems on innocent civilians. DU burns intensely and is very hard. It releases Uranium Oxide. The aerosol contains particles of 0.5-5 microns in size, once they are in the air or dust they are inhaled or ingested, including from contaminated soil. Once in the lungs one such particle is equivalent to having one XRay per hour, for life. Because it is impossible to remove, the victim is gradually irradiated. Still births, birth defects, leukemia, damaged central nervous systems and other cancers have been common in children born since 1991. Child leukemia has risen 600 % in areas of Iraq as reported by the Netherland Visie Foundation. Beyond just the health
consequences, DU munitions are in fact, weapons of Silent Mass Destruction in so far as the consequences of their usage are vast, indiscriminate and violate all Human Rights Conventions . Tora Bora , Kabu , Paktia , Karises or underwater supply tunnels have been contaminated forever. All this has been documented in a comprehensive paper  Uranium wars : The Pentagon steps up its use of Radio-active Munitions, by Marc W. Herold to whom this paper owes sincere acknowledgement.

In another paper Dr Mohammed Daud Miraki, Director Afghan DU Recovery Fund, quotes George W Bush , we will smoke them out, condemning the unborn, the living and the future generations of Afghans and the neighbouring people to a pre-determined, death sentence. After the destruction of our village, I realised that the Americans had sentenced us all to death. When I saw my deformed
grandson I realised my hopes for the future have vanished This time we are part of the invisible genocide brought on by America a silent death from which we will not escape ( Jooma Khan of Laghman province..March 2003.) Similar stories are repeated from Paktita province of Jelly Babies. Pregnant women are afraid of giving birthThis is the legacy of US ushered liberation, freedom and democracy. DU is cheap for the US, utilising nuclear waste, cheaper than titanium and tungsten, not for the liberated (non-DU is still cheaper as it is the uranium feedstock, pre-enrichment).

The Uranium Medical Research Center (UMRC), Washington DC, and the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists (1991) - Steve Fetter and Frank Von Hippel have reported on extensive research by Field teams of the UMRC in Afghanistan. Testimonies of fathers and mothers are horrifying  What else do the Americans want ? They killed us , they turned our new-borns into horrific deformations, and they turned our farm lands into grave-yards, and destroyed our homes. On top of all this their planes fly over and spray us with bullets.. we have nothing to lose ..we
will fight them the same way we fought the previous invaders (Sayed Gharib at Tora Bora).

Radiological dispensing devices or warfare is the latest of the weapons of the new millenium, but it singes even those who use it , as shown in the after effects of the tests at home ground in the US, where evidence of cognitive damage during early infancy have been compiled. For us in Eurasia, Pakistan and India we have a new health epidemic to drain our scarce resources.

As world citizens we need to focus on a new scourge, the reality of the PNAC - Rebuilding Americas Defenses, Strategy, Forces and Resources for a New Century.

The Report notes that ,  Much has been written in recent years about the need to transform the conventional armed forces of the United States to take advantage of the Revolution in Military Affairs. Our military requires a dramatic transformation , lest we lose our ability to fight the future unconventional wars .. some may be fought in cyberspace, others under water or in outer space . And some even within our bodies.

Paul Wolfowitz, William Kristol and others are some of the men representing contemporary power centers, who define US policy. History indicates that the men who define US military policy from the shadows , are worthy of our attention.

GENETIC BOMBS

When creating genetic-bombs or weapons to target specific groups; genetic profiles are subtler and more accurate than the coarse pseudo category called race. The group with ADHD ( the Edison Gene) uniquely share common inherited variations in their dopamine regulating genes regardless of race, geography or ethnicity. Thus anybody whos part of a group with a shared genetic profile may be at risk in the future.

A virus or bacteria may attack only a particular type of person, killing, disabling or sterilising only those of a particular gene profile.
Threatening a particular type would be sufficient political black-mail.

Wolfowitz, Kristol and their colleagues suggested that the Pentagon should be thinking about not just germ warfare of which they have plenty of capabilities, but gene warfare.

Genetic terra-forming could replace diplomacy, or it could change the face of politics if an organism got loose that killed all the people of a particular minority community who tend to vote for a particular political party.

According to the PNAC, Genetically targeted weapons could change world politics for ever, and the report notes, advanced forms of biological warfare that can target specific geno-types may transform biological warfare from the realm of terror to a politically useful tool

To conclude 4th generation micro-nukes, with their war-head composition, were deliberated upon and decided at the US Airforce Strategic Command Headquarters at the Offutt Airforce Base, Nebraska, between the top Corporates /weapon manufacturers and the US military brass. The former not only have prior knowledge of numbers and types of all types of nuclear weapons, but the locations of the planned and approved targets, globally.

This meeting took place on Hiroshima Day, 6th August, 2003, and to reiterate, the aim was to define a new generation of nuclear weapons to be used on a pre-emptive basis against rogue enemies and terrorist organisations. (mini-nukes have an explosive capacity between one-third and six times a Hiroshima bomb).

In this Strangelovian logic, nuclear weapons are now viewed as a means to ensuring peace and security against non-existent WMDs.

AT A GLANCE:

1. In the 2003 war, the IraqiS were subjected to the Pentagons radioactive arsenal, mainly in the urban centers, unlike in the deserts in 1991. The aggregate effects of illnesses and long term disabilities and genetic birth defects will be apparent only 2008 onwards.

2. By now, half of all the 697,000 US soldiers involved in the 1991 war have reported serious illnesses. According the American Gulf War Veterans Association, more than 30% of these soldiers are chronically ill, and receiving disability benefits from the Veterans Administration.

3. The number of disabled veterans is shockingly high . They are in their mid-thirties and should have been in the prime of health.

4. Near the Republican Palace where US troops stood guard and over 1000 employees walked in and out, the radiation readings were the hottest  in Iraq, at nearly 1900 times background radiation levels.

5. At a roadside stand, selling fresh bunches of parsley, mint, and onions, children played on a burnt out Iraqi tank just outside Baghdad, the Geiger counter registered 1000 times normal background radiation.

6. The Pentagon and the United Nations estimate that the US and Britain used 1,100 to 2,200 tons of armor piercing shells made of DU during attacks in March-April 2003, far more than the 1991 Gulf War (this does not include air dispensed DU munitions and missiles), wrote the Post Intelligencer.

7. An otherwise useless by-product of the uranium enrichment process, DU is attractive to military contractors because it is so cheap and often offered for free by the Government.

8. The long term effects, as Dr Asaf Durakovic elaborates, after the early neurological symptoms are cancer, and related radiation illnesses such as chronic fatigue syndrome, joint and muscle pain, neurological and/or nerve damage, mood disturbances, auto-immuno deficiciencies, lung and kidney damage, vision problems, skin rupture, increase in miscarriages, maternal mortality and genetic birth defects/deformation.

9. For years the US government described the Gulf War Syndrome as a post traumatic stress disorder. It was labelled as a psychological problem or simply as mysterious unrelated ailments much in the same way as health problems of Vietnam veterans suffering from Agent Orange poisoning.
( With acknowledgements to Sara Flounders, for 1-9 above, Coordinator of the DU education program ).

I also gratefully acknowledge the facts learnt from evidence led by scientists/papers presented and accepted by the International Criminal Tribunal on Afghanistan, at Tokyo on 13-16 Decembe, 2003 and earlier at the World Depleted Uranium Weapons Conference, Hamburg 16-19 October, 2003, by Leuren Moret, whose continuing contribution to this cause against  Silent Wepons of Mass Destruction (SWMD), in defense of humanity, deserves our support.

* started harping on tort reform, I had an idea this worked into it, when soldiers families started sueing...

Thanks ahead of time.

to excel its speed, with in turn makes it able to go through most anything...

Depleted uranium is a very dense (heavy) material that is used in armor penetrating munitions. Look at this link for more info http://www.gulflink.osd.mil/faq_17apr.htm

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

Is the political ascendancy of the criminals among us. All other problems derive from this. DU wouldn't be in Iraq if not for this root-problem.

IF THE USE OF USE CONTINUES THEN ALL ELSE DOES NOT MATTER.

and WRITE IN CAPITAL LETTERS TOO!

http://www.thepowerhour.com/news/du_soldiers.htm

Look familiar?

There are enough credible concerns about DU without having to resort to posting this kind of crap. DU is a heavy metal which, like lead, has considerable toxic properties.

Edjumacate yourself.

Sid

professionals ok!!! are you qualified?
