Depleted Uranium, jews, and "health care"

Depleted uranium: Dirty bombs, dirty missiles, dirty bullets
-----"Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign
policy." - Henry Kissinger, quoted in "Kiss the Boys Goodbye: How the United
States Betrayed Its Own POW's in Vietnam"-----
Vietnam was a chemical war, 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 definition of Weapons of
Mass Destruction. Vast regions in the Middle East and Central Asia, but also in Europe
(Serbia and Kosovo) have been permanently contaminated with radiation.
And what about our soldiers? Terry Jemison of the Department of Veterans Affairs reported
this week to the American Free Press that "Gulf-era veterans" now on medical
disability since 1991 number 518,739, with only 7,035 reported wounded in Iraq in that
same 14-year period.
This week the American Free Press dropped a "dirty bomb" on the Pentagon by
reporting that eight out of 20 men who served in one unit in the 2003 U.S. military
offensive in Iraq now have malignancies. That means that 40 percent of the soldiers in
that unit have developed malignancies in just 16 months.
Since these soldiers were exposed to vaccines and depleted uranium (DU) only, this is
strong evidence for researchers and scientists working on this issue, that DU 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 Kor�nyi-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, bioagents or other suspect causes this time to confuse the issue.
This powerful new evidence is blowing holes in the cover-up perpetrated by the Pentagon
and three presidential administrations ever since DU was first used in 1991 in the Persian
Gulf War. Fourteen years after the introduction of DU on the battlefield in 1991, the
long-term effects have revealed that DU 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 formerly involved with the Manhattan Project, interprets the new
and rapid malignancies in soldiers from the 2003 war as "spectacular ... and a matter
of concern."
This evidence shows that of the three effects which DU has on biological systems -
radiation, chemical and particulate - the particulate effect from nano-size particles is
the most dominant one immediately after exposure and targets the Master Code in the DNA.
This is bad news, but it explains why DU causes a myriad of diseases which are difficult
to define.
In simple words, DU "trashes the body." When asked if the main purpose for using
it was for destroying things and killing people, 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 DU in Yugoslavia in 1998-1999 and the U.S.
military invasion of Iraq using DU 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 DU 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 2000 there were
325,000 on permanent medical disability. This astounding number of disabled vets means
that a decade later, 56 percent of those soldiers who served now have medical problems.
The number of disabled vets reported up to 2000 has been increasing by 43,000 every year.
Brad Flohr of the Department of Veterans Affairs told American Free Press that he believes
there are more disabled vets now than even after World War II.
They brought it home
Not only were soldiers exposed to DU on and off the battlefields, but they brought it
home. DU 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 percent 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 veterans' families now, the only normal or healthy members of the
family are the children born before the war.
The Department of Veterans 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 presidential candidate John Kerry.
Kerry's father served at a high level in the Manhattan Project and was 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 DU weapons system was developed for the Navy in 1968, and DU 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 DU, was tested on the USS Bigelow out of Hunters Point
Naval Shipyard in 1977, and DU weapons have been sold by the U.S. to 29 countries.
Military research report summaries detail the testing of DU from 1974-1999 at military
testing grounds, bombing and gunnery ranges and at civilian labs under contract. Today 42
states are contaminated with DU from manufacture, testing and deployment.
Women living around these facilities have reported increases in endometriosis, birth
defects in babies, leukemia in children and cancers and other diseases in adults.
Thousands of tons of DU 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 DU 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 in C-150s from Germany who are brought to Walter Reed
Hospital near Washington, D.C.
Dr. Robert Gould, former president of the Bay Area chapter of Physicians for Social
Responsibility (PSR), has contacted three medical doctors since February 2004, after I had
been invited to speak about DU. Dr. Katharine Thomasson, president of the Oregon chapter
of the PSR, informed me that Dr. Gould had contacted her and tried to convince her to
cancel her invitation for me to speak about DU at Portland State University on April 12.
Although I was able to do a presentation, Dr. Thomasson told me I could only talk about DU
in Oregon "and nothing overseas ... nothing political."
Dr. Gould also contacted and discouraged Dr. Ross Wilcox in Toronto, Canada, from inviting
me to speak to Physicians for Global Survival (PGS), the Canadian equivalent of PSR,
several months later. When that didn't work, he contacted Dr. Allan Connoly, the Canadian
national president of PGS, who was able to cancel my invitation and nearly succeeded in
preventing Dr. Wilcox, his own member, from showing photos and presenting details on
civilians suffering from DU exposure and cancer provided to him by doctors in southern
Iraq.
Dr. Janette Sherman, a former and long-standing member of PSR, reported that she finally
quit some time after being invited to lunch by a new PSR executive administrator. After
the woman had pumped Dr. Sherman for information all through lunch about her position on
key issues, the woman informed Dr. Sherman that her last job had been with the CIA.
How was the truth about DU hidden from military personnel serving in successive DU wars?
Before his tragic death, Sen. Paul Wellstone informed Joyce Riley, R.N., B.S.N., executive
director of the American Gulf War Veterans Association, that 95 percent 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 being
transferred to new troops. The "next DU war" had already been planned, and those
planning it wanted "no skunk at the garden party."
The US has a dirty (DU) little (CIA) secret
A new book just published at the American Free Press by Michael Collins Piper, "The
High Priests of War: The Secret History of How America's Neo-Conservative Trotskyites Came
to Power and Orchestrated the War Against Iraq as the First Step in Their Drive for Global
Empire," details the early plans for a war against the Arab world by Henry Kissinger
and the neo-cons in the late 1960s and early 1970s. That just happens to coincide with
getting the DU "show on the road" and the oil crisis in the Middle East, which
caused concern not only to President Nixon. The British had been plotting and scheming for
control of the oil in Iraq for decades since first using poison gas on the Iraqis and
Kurds in 1912.
The book details the creation of the neo-cons by their "godfather" and 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.
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 the Carlyle
Group, who, one could say, have 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 the same faces.
When I asked Vietnam Special Ops Green Beret Capt. John McCarthy, who could have devised
this omnicidal plan to use DU to destroy the genetic code and genetic future of large
populations of Arabs and Moslems in the Middle East and Central Asia - just coincidentally
the areas 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 DU.
A Japanese professor, Dr. K. Yagasaki, has calculated that 800 tons of DU is the atomicity
equivalent of 83,000 Nagasaki bombs. The U.S. has used more DU since 1991 than the
atomicity equivalent of 400,000 Nagasaki bombs. Four nuclear wars indeed, 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. 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 DU 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 percent 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.

LUNG CANCER EPIDEMIC FROM DU HAS BEGUN IN U.S.
By
Dr. James Howenstine, MD.
April 6, 2006
NewsWithViews.com
In the year 2005 there
were 175,000 new cases of lung cancer in the United States. The months of January and
February of 2006 have already yielded 172,000 new cases of lung cancer in our nation. What
has lead to this shocking new development?
Second hand smoke
exposure and cigarette smoking obviously can not explain this dramatic rise in lung
cancer. Following exposure to radioactive iodine particulate debris in the air from shells
and bombs, between 2 to 5 years of time is needed to lead to the appearance of
malignancies. Our bombing of Afghanistan began in October 2001 (four and a half years ago)
and the new bombing in Iraq began in March 2003 (exactly three years ago). Aerial bombs
are more effective than artillery shells in increasing airborne radioiodine because they
release more dust into the atmosphere. The radioactive iodine increment from these
bombings was registered in the UK in the Aldermaston Report[1] released on Feb. 19, 2006.

Order
The U.S.
government has not released any information about the levels of radioactivity being
observed in the U.S. and the controlled media in Europe and the U.S. has said nothing
about the 4 genocidal nuclear wars the United States and it’s British ally have
foisted off on the populace of the world. (Bosnia, Iraq twice and Afghanistan). The DU
wars surely reflect the population lowering program for the world being implemented by the
New World Order elitists (Tilateral Commisson., Bilderbergers, Club of Rome, 33 rd degree
Masons, Illuminati, Council of Foreign Relations.)
Breathing radioactive
particlulate matter has long been known to cause lung cancer. Miners working in uranium
mines and other types of mining where radioactivity is an occupational hazard have a
higher incidence of lung cancer. This danger from airborne radioactive iodine is greater
than that found from cigarette smoking. The radioactive iodine particles go directly to
DNA which is “trashed”. There are no ways the human body can rid itself of the
radioactive particles so the health damage is permanent. This results in severe health
problems particularly malignancies which have no effective therapies. Physicians in Bosnia
are seeing patients present for care with three simultaneous malignancies something
never previously reported in medicine.
Children in Iraq are
dying in epidemic numbers from malignancies. In most nations cancer in children is
uncommon. This makes depleted uranium shells and bombs an ideal vehicle to diminish the
world population. The absence of media exposure critical of this genocidal program makes
DU warfare a low risk program for lowering world population. One of the attractive
features of using radioactive uranium for biologic warfare and population lowering is that
there are no known effective ways to heal an individual who develops a malignancy after
radioiodine iodine exposure.
A frightening aspect
of depleted uranium warfare is that there is no way to protect oneself from this hazard. Clothing
and gas masks are easily penetrated. The key persons running the New World Order are
brilliant planners. They would not want themselves to die from lung cancer along with the
rest of humanity. My guess is they have discovered methods to protect themselves from
developing lung cancer. Certainly one has to be impressed with how effectively David
Rockefeller, Zignev Brezinski and Henry Kissinger appear to have managed to avoid the
infirmities of aging at least to outward appearances.
I do not know if
persons living in the Southern hemisphere are also being exposed to radioiodine fallout.
Recently Christopher Reeves wife, Dana, died of lung cancer at age 44. She was a healthy
non smoker so her death appeared puzzling. The DU fallout may provide a rational
explanation.
Because prevailing
winds have carried radioiodine dust to Europe and probably the U.S. it appears that at
least half the persons on planet earth are currently breathing radioiodine. The topic of
depleted uranium bombs and shells will not be discussed in the media because the
world’s media is controlled by the New World Order elitists. World wide public
outrage could ruin their plans to rapidly lower the world’s population by 90 % if
this issue was publicly discussed.
When a biologic
warfare agent like the borrelia burgdorfi spirochete (Lyme Disease) turns out to spread
person to person it becomes a gigantic success. We all must breath to stay alive. With at
least half the persons on earth now breathing radioactive iodine the bio-warfare
scientists appear to have their second big winner. Expect lung cancer deaths to rapidly
increase worldwide.

2006 Miles and Soledad O'Brien
|
So,
what is the plan?
On
the March 8, 2006 edition of the CNN American Morning program with Miles O’Brien and
Soledad O’Brien, they made
a startling announcement. On average there are 175,000 new cases of lung cancer each
year in the United States. For just the months of January and February 2006 there
are 172,000 confirmed, newly diagnosed cases of lung cancer. This is not just a
little spike on the charts and much worse news is coming. That is already averaging
this year about 6 times the normal incidence of new lung cancer cases in a year.
They
tried to attribute it to second hand smoke, but second hand smoke and cigarettes are
nothing compared to being exposed to Depleted Uranium (“DU”) and particulates
created by DU explosions. You can smoke for 30 years and not do the damage that DU
can do to you in 30 days.
How
long does it take to get lung cancer after being exposed to DU and nano-particulates?
On average 2-5 years is the correct answer. We started bombing Afghanistan in
October 2001 or four and a half years ago. We started bombing Iraq again in March
2003, or just shy of three years ago.
The
effects of those bombing attacks were registered as far away as the UK according to the
Aldermaston Report we and others released February 19, 2006. We do not know yet what
was registered in the U.S. because the U.S. government is not saying and they definitely
do not want you to know.
The
link between DU exposure and lung cancer has been known for many years. The
correlation between DU and lung cancer versus cigarettes and lung cancer is even stronger
for DU.
They
are making plans right now to bomb Iran, even knowing full well that they will be
spreading more nuclear pollution.
Here
are the action items that need to happen:
1.
MEDICAL
INTERVENTION INSTEAD OF MEDICAL NEGLECT. We (Patmos Nanotechnologies,
LLC) are in discussions with multiple parties to quickly address the medical treatment
needs of the veterans that have been exposed to DU and derivative nano-particulates.
That will require a lab unlike any medical lab in the United States due to what it
is testing for and developing treatment regimens.
We
will be putting out a call to raise funds to provide the needed travel, lodging and
treatment for the veterans. Since Patmos is already aligned with a hospital and a
group of doctors, and several key players in the heavy metal detoxification area, our
emphasis on biotech will be re-shifted to be one of addressing the sheer medical needs of
the veterans including treatment for heavy metal toxicity, DU detoxification and
developing a wide range of options to deal with the many problems the troops are having.
If the US government will not do it, we shall and we shall be asking Americans to do
the right thing and help out.
We
are also establishing a DU Detoxification Center in the Atlanta area and will be
expediting the treatment to veterans that our military is trying to avoid. Lives are
at stake as well as quality of life. What got my attention focused on this matter is
how many of our young healthy soldiers come home and are fundamentally fully disabled and
the government ignoring that for to do otherwise would be an admission of guilt and
creating a paper trail of evidence that leads up to and includes criminal conduct.
This is not just a civil matter.
We
might have to create an ADOPT A VETERAN
program where families with means are helping to pay for the medical needs of these
soldiers. The Red Cross raised over $1 billion for the tsunami victims and their
plight pales in comparison to this DU contamination catastrophe. Americans sent
hundreds of millions for the tsunami relief fund and it is now time to make some of that
American giving count here at home for Americans.
Many
of our troops need our help. If they do not receive help, many will spend the rest
of their lives disabled or will die much sooner than God had intended.
Where
they do not have the financial means, we are going to ask Americans to make it happen.
If you can provide funds in general or sponsor
a specific veteran for the treatments, you may be saving their life and ultimately your
own.
We
already have contingency plans that if the U.S. government tries to bar us from treating
the soldiers they are intentionally neglecting, for fear of creating an evidence trail,
there are several places offshore where the treatments will be offered and the logistics
to get it done.
The
team we are assembling includes a hospital, specialist doctors, a new biotech center
Patmos will build, firms that have detoxification treatments already that are proving to
be very effective, and a lab that can detect not only molecules but nano-particulates too.
This DU problem will require the services of laboratories, the medical specialties
of endocrinology, internal medicine, neurology, urology, gastroenterology, oncology, and
others.
Most
of all, Patmos has already developed several technologies that may prove to be very useful
in addressing what has been done to our soldiers and all of us. We are tired of talking about it and waiting in vain
for Washington, DC to do something right for a change. It is time for action.
As
some say, it is lead, follow or get the Hell out of the way time.
2.
LEGAL ACTION.
Our government knows DU is deadly and harmful to the troops and other populations,
but they do it any way and they keep right on doing it any time they see fit. They knew it in 1989 and have
continued to deploy troops four times in major engagements and have continued to fire
these weapons on US bases around general civilian populations.
The
answer to that is a Class Action Lawsuit aimed right at the problem. We are
soliciting attorneys at this time to assemble a team and address this matter in the
courts. It would sort of be The Citizens of the United States, Active
Duty and Veterans of the US Armed Services v. The United States Government, certain
Defense Contractors, Certain Individuals. My guess is the true price
tag for their criminal negligence could easily top $1 trillion in damages the Plaintiffs
should be entitled to.
When
the whole truth, nothing but the truth is known about this matter – America is in for
a very rude awakening. You will not want to watch Shock and Awe on TV when you find
out to what extent it has been delivered into your life.
This
DU issue makes asbestos pale in comparison.
The
figure does not even scratch the surface on what it will cost to even attempt to clean up
the mess they have made in targeted countries like Iraq, Bosnia, Afghanistan and the
collateral damage of harming general populations many miles away. Turning another nation and this nation into a
nuclear waste dump is not a no harm, no foul situation.
Army
Regulation 700-48 requires mitigation of nuclear waste from these weapons when used, and
they just conveniently ignore that and keep right on polluting. In short, they are
required to put into effect environmental remediation and medical treatment for those
parties exposed and they just never seem to find time to obey the law.
The
nations of Italy, Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, Canada, and many others are seeing
the health problems in their soldiers and civilian workers that entered into these nuclear
waste zones.
Bahrain is about 500 miles from Iraq at its closest point
and recent information from there shows that a high percentage of Bahraini citizens and US
soldiers stationed there are highly exposed to DU. The UK towers at Aldermaston
reported DU spikes shortly after the bombing was done many miles away in Afghanistan and Iraq.
The
harmed parties within this nation alone are our soldiers and US citizens. The
defendants have tried for years to cover this up or ignore it. We are going to put
out a call and a website to collect donations for the war chest that will be needed to
fight this lawsuit through to completion. It will take many millions of dollars to
wage what might be the most important legal battle of our time and the defendants have
billions of dollars to defend themselves. They will spend whatever it takes to win
because a defeat would be the ruin of them.
What
they cannot hide is the truth but they will resist the truth from ever becoming generally
known. The truth will not set them free nor will the truth do anything but deliver back to them
the same impunity with which they have treated millions of people.
Many
have already died; many more will die while this problem continues to be ignored by Washington,
DC. It is time to make them stop ignoring it.
If you can donate to the Lawsuit Fund, please
send me an email with contact information.
3.
ALL DEFENDANTS
WILL BE NAMED. It is quite apparent that the governments of the US and
UK, their militaries, the elected officials and the defense contractors have a long list
of target countries and they all share one thing in common – they either have oil and
natural gas or they have the land for oil and gas pipelines to get the oil to ocean ports
and distributed around the world.
These
policies that have so many Americans concerned are driven by Big Defense and Big Oil
– so Big Oil and its influence in making these idiotic policies would be targeted
too. Even 9-11 was a staged show for Americans so they would support these war
policies.
There
is no Global War on Terror except this nation being the world’s greatest terrorist
for oil, military supremacy and petrodollar supremacy. Gore Vidal said it best in an
interview I saw and I am paraphrasing here – “there is no Global War on Terror. That
is nonsense, it is just rhetoric. They might as well declare a Global War on
Dandruff”.
4.
ENVIRONMENTAL
TESTING. We are going to deploy our own army to take soil, water, plant
life and air samples around all US facilities where these weapons are made, fired, stored,
and generally used. We will also be putting teams in place to take soil and water
samples, as well as meeting with affected parties in Bosnia, Afghanistan and Iraq.
One
of our affiliates has just uncovered a massive amount of DU exposure and confirmed human
cases in Bahrain. The Aldermaston Report is confirmed at least for Bahrain in that
this deadly stuff does in fact spread out to large areas. It has been detected in
the UK and it has been confirmed in Bahrain. How confirmed? A very high
percentage of the people tested in Bahrain are
floating in DU contamination and it is being detected in their urine samples so it is
internal, not just laying around on the sand.
We
have preliminary indications that deaths as far away as Denmark might have happened while
this dirty little secret is being hidden from the world. It is not hard to find US
or UK or coalition troops that went and became so sick they no longer have a quality of
life. It is also not hard to find many that have died while being neglected by the
governments that did it.
We
have contacted many of the purported environmentally concerned groups and none of them
have responded. It is growing more apparent that they have an agenda that is not
totally about clean air, clean water, and healthy environment.
This
environmental testing will include randomly buying food around the US and having it put
under very exacting testing regimens to determine to what extent this toxicity is in our
food chain. We have a pretty good idea of what will be found and it is not a pretty
picture.
Over
the coming months our medical affiliates and our company will be announcing some things
that are nanotechnology based (or combine nanotechnology with existing treatments) and
will be directed at addressing this DU and nano-particulate contamination problem.
Due to the wall of harassment we have received we will be making these products outside of
the United States as well as an entire new generation of medical machines.
The
DU contamination is present, it is real and people need to start working in unison to
address the problem. This DU issue is a nuclear contamination calamity and DC intends to do nothing about
it.
5.
STATE LEVEL ACTION
Every state that has had either National Guard or citizens
called up as Reserves or sent as active duty troops should be moving to implement
mandatory DU testing laws. If nothing else, either be a squeaky wheel or build an
eight foot fire under those bureaucratic butts. The states of Connecticut and Louisiana
have implemented such laws. New York has a bill in motion as well as about 11 or 12
other states. Bottom line is all 50 states need to do what is right for the citizens
of their states and put such mandatory DU testing laws in place.
I
think we have provided you with enough information to establish why they are covering this
up. Most criminals do cover up their conduct if possible.
Every
US soldier or soldier of a foreign nation that we treat is yet another piece of evidence.
That chain of evidence will not only prove what was done to them, it will prove what
has been done to many Americans that have never left the United States yet have been
exposed enough to ruin their health or kill them.
If
you know veterans in your area, or if you know some of the state level elected officials,
please contact them and urge them to start the process of putting mandatory DU testing in
place.
6.
FEDERAL LEVEL
ACTION There is a move in
the US House to make the US government take care of the veterans. Watch them make
this go away as fast as the Republican majority can and even many of the Democrats since
the full expose on this would implicate Clinton, Gore and many Democrats in Congress.
HOUSE DEMS CALL FOR VETS CARE TO
BE INCLUDED IN IRAQ SUPPLEMENTAL
“Providing
for Veterans Is Continuing Cost of War”
Tuesday March 7, 2006
Contact:
Nayyera Haq (Salazar) 202.225.3319
Geoffrey Collver (Evans) 202.225.9756
WASHINGTON, DC – Led by
their most junior and senior Members on the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee,
Congressman John Salazar (D-CO) and Congressman Lane Evans (D-IL), House
Democrats today moved to prevent a repeat of last year’s shameful shortfall in
funding for the Department of Veterans’ Affairs. In a letter sent to Speaker Hastert
this morning, more than 120 House Democrats called for the inclusion of $630 million in
veterans’ health care funds as part of the President’s $72.4 billion Iraq War
Supplemental request:
“We believe that providing
for our military veterans and their families is a continuing cost of war and an important
component of our national defense. We are concerned that the Administration may have once
again underestimated the total number of veterans that will seek services at the VA,
including new veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Mr. Speaker, we strongly
urge you to correct the Administration’s oversight and recognize that caring for our
veterans is an ongoing cost of war.”
Said Salazar: “With the war
in Iraq and Afghanistan, we’ve created a whole new generation of veterans who need
our care. We cannot have a repeat of last year’s shameful budget shortfall. It
is time for us to be honest in our budgeting and recognize the urgency of providing full
funding for veterans health care. Our troops bravely put their lives on the line and it is
our moral duty to provide them with the care and benefits they were promised.”

and the full list of signatories follows:
Honorable Dennis Hastert
Speaker
U.S.
House of Representatives
Washington, DC
20515
Dear Mr. Speaker:
We believe that providing for our military veterans and their families is a continuing
cost of war and an important component of our national defense. We simply have no
excuse for not meeting their needs. For some, it easy to forget that budgets and
numbers ultimately reflect our priorities and affect real people. Indeed, by failing
to include any money for veterans’ health care and readjustment services in the $72.4
billion emergency war supplemental request, the Administration again has failed to
acknowledge the added stress and resource demands the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are
placing on the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Accordingly, we respectfully
request that you work with the Appropriations Committee to provide additional resources
for the VA within the emergency war supplemental.
We believe that at least $630 million is urgently needed to care for troops returning from
Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the heroes from prior conflicts who rely upon the VA for
their health care. Specifically, we are seeking $250 million to support increased
demand for mental health services for returning troops; $200 million for direct medical
services, including treating traumatic brain injury and other complex blast injuries, and
additional resources for the VA’s Polytrauma Rehabilitation Centers; $110 million for
increased demand for VA prosthetics; $15 million for medical and vocational rehabilitation
services; and $55 million for increased staff to process the growing disability claims
backlog of more than 370,000, including claims homeless disabled veterans of the Iraq and
Afghanistan wars who are waiting months for decisions.
Mr. Speaker, last year, we saw the VA face disgraceful shortfalls in its health care
budget, shortfalls that had a direct impact upon the care received by veterans.
Ultimately, the Administration begrudgingly admitted these shortfalls and was forced to
request additional resources. We are concerned that the Administration may have
once again underestimated the total number of veterans that will seek services at the VA,
including new veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Mr. Speaker, we strongly
urge you to correct the Administration’s oversight and recognize that caring for our
veterans is an ongoing cost of war.
Sincerely,
John Salazar
Now
that you have read this information about VA funding and Democrats’ concern, note that there is not a single word
about addressing the Depleted Uranium calamity. They know and they are terrified on
both sides of the aisle of a paper trail of evidence being created.
Remember,
this is an election year and they are more concerned about votes and breaking up the
Republican monopoly than they are the veterans suffering. It is all about power and
money and greed, not about lives and quality of life.
You
see, I wonder at times why Washington, DC is so callous about the elderly, Medicare,
Social Security, the veterans and their health needs, which would not be necessary if this
nation had not put them into nuclear waste dumps. The answer is growing clearer to
me every day – they know and if we die their problems go away.
They
really could not care less in Washington, DC if you live or die. You are a
constituent and that makes you a present and long term liability to our leaders, not an
asset. They constantly wrestle with the quandary of how to feign doing right for you
and how they have to do right for their wealthy contributors and direct the wealth to
them. It is a very steady shift of federal funds from those that do not need it and
away from those that need it the most.
Illegal
aliens are flooding into this country and getting better treatment than our veterans.
That
is their version of Problem-Reaction-Solution. I
trust you find mine more to your liking.
Best
regards,
Karl

From
That Pentagon Death Star, And The University That Poisoned The World
BY Dr. LEUREN MORET
FWD. BY FPF: SPECIAL TO THE ICONOCLAST
Two images changed my life when I visited the Peace
Museums in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August of 2000, on my first trip to Japan. I had
worked as a geoscientist in two U.S. Nuclear weapons labs � Lawrence Berkeley National
Lab and Lawrence Livermore National Lab � but I never knew what a nuclear weapon really
was, nor the horrific effects of radiation on the environment and biological systems.
Now I know.
In the Hiroshima Museum, as a nuclear weapons lab whistleblower I
wandered through the exhibits with TV cameras in my face, keeping it together by stuffing
my emotions. I walked past the mangled lunch boxes and tricycles, thinking of the school
children as I looked at the watches and clocks stopped at the moment the first
thermonuclear weapon detonated on a human population. Shadows of people vaporized on
stones, and on the steps of a building where one had sat, waiting for the bank to open on
that fateful morning. A diorama showed the reality of dying people walking through the
streets of Hiroshima with skin dripping and hanging from their bodies. In another image a
man stood looking down at his eyeball he held in his hand.
[FPF: Pictures Hirohima & nagasaki - Url.: <http://tinyurl.com/ngmxl>]
THE REALIZATION THAT SCIENTISTS HAD MADE THAT �GADGET�
POSSIBLE
When I looked up at a model of LITTLE BOY, the atomic bomb
dropped on Hiroshima, I lost it and broke down in sobs which did not stop until half an
hour later, half way through a press conference. The cameras continued to roll, capturing
my horror and real feelings of the realization that scientists had made that �gadget�
possible. I am a scientist, I worked in those laboratories of death. And I am a graduate
of the University of California, which will forever be known as �the University that
poisoned the world�. The University managed those laboratories of death, unchallenged,
for more than 60 years.
RADIATION RESPECTS NO LIVING THING.
Three days later in the Nagasaki Peace Museum, I saw FAT MAN, the
first plutonium atomic bomb which was dropped on Nagasaki. There were photos taken by a
local photographer just hours after the bomb destroyed the city. People were standing on a
bridge absolutely devastated, lying on the ground dying, patterns from their kimonos
burned into their skin. And then I saw THE photo. A young mother standing with her kimono
open barebreasted, with a vacant stare, while she nursed her dying baby. Sobbing
overwhelmed me once again, and still brings tears to my eyes when I think of that image,
which is burned into my brain by now. I am a mother, and in that moment I knew that mother
could have been me, with the life of my baby taken from me, or any other mother around the
world. Radiation respects no living thing. That is when I made the decision to spend the
rest of my life doing research and educating the public about radiation. I never knew that
I could make a difference. Now I know that, as a citizen scientist, empowering others is
the best way of all.
I STARTED BY WRITING A LETTER TO THE EDITOR, NOT EXPECTING TO
HAVE IT PUBLISHED, BUT IT WAS.
And then I started writing articles about depleted uranium which
I had learned about from a journalist, Akira Tashiro, whom I met in Hiroshima on that
first trip to Japan. In 2002 he asked me to write the Forword to his prize-winning book
DISCOUNTED CASUALTIES: THE HUMAN COST OF DEPLETED URANIUM. Then I was asked to be an
expert witness in Japan for the International Criminal Tribunal for Afghanistan in 2003.
Marion Fulk, a Manhattan Project scientist and Livermore nuclear weapons program
researcher, prepared me with the best science in the world for my testimony. The testimony
resulted in a very strong conviction on depleted uranium weapons, illegal under all laws,
war conventions, US Federal Code, and US military law. In fact, during testimony the
exposure of the original 1943 Manhattan Project plan to develop it as a radioactive poison
gas weapon, convinced the international panel of Judges to make two additional charges: it
was a crime against the environment, and President George W. Bush was guilty of war crimes
by knowingly exposing his own troops to illegal radioactive weaponry.
My motivation to expose the horrible truth about depleted
uranium, resulted in very unexpected successes. One of the most important actions was
taking a bill, introduced and stuck in limbo in the Connecticut legislature, to New
Orleans on a speaking tour in March 2005. I joined antiwar protestors and veterans
marching through the streets of New Orleans on March 19. We ended up standing on the white
marble steps of the antebellum Louisiana Supreme Court in the heart of the French Quarter.
While I stood in the hot sun describing the horrors of depleted uranium weapons, a
withered grinch of a security guard glared out at me from behind the locked doors of the
Courthouse, while a police van across the street secretly videotaped our speeches. Bob
Smith, a Vietnam veteran, came up afterwards and asked me for a copy of the Connecticut depleted uranium bill originally written and introduced by
Pat Dillon. Dillon is an epidemiologist and was the Speaker of the House in Connecticut, a
position she lost shortly after her bill was introduced.
Much to my complete shock, Bob Smith and Ward Reilly, two Vietnam
era veterans, took it to the Louisiana legislature. They told two legislators willing to
introduce the bill to �white out Connecticut and write in
Louisiana�. It was quickly passed unanimously by the
legislature and signed into law by the Governor within a few months. What I didn�t know
then, was that bill would set States rights against Federal rights, and National Guardsmen
against regular military personel, busting the depleted uranium issue open on a national
scale. Because state governments have legal jurisdiction over the National Guard, the
state bill requiring mandatory testing for depleted uranium exposure did not cover regular
military personel. This angered the regular soldiers who were frustrated and angry over
being �kicked to the curb� by the Pentagon and Veterans Administration. The state is
legally entitled to force the Pentagon to pay the costs of implementing the bill, because
the Pentagon is in violation of its own mandates, directives and orders which require
training, testing, and treatment for soldiers handling depleted uranium.
IN MAY OF 2005, CONGRESSMAN MCDERMOTT M.D. (D-WA), INTRODUCED
A DEPLETED URANIUM BILL IN CONGRESS.
Attached to the bill as a supporting document was an entire issue
of President Bush�s hometown newspaper in Crawford, Texas, THE LONE STAR ICONOCLAST,
which Leon Smith, the Editor, had dedicated to �What is DU?�. On March 1, 2006, a
second issue �Have DU Will Travel� came out with extensive interviews with scientists.
After covering Cindy Sheehan and Camp Casey last summer, the paper is now widely read in
Washington DC. Recently, Editor Leon Smith published a book called THE VIGIL: 26 DAYS IN CRAWFORD, TEXAS about Camp Casey.
A NIGHTMARE FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
Today, more than 15 states have introduced a depleted uranium
bill, and Louisiana and Connecticut have passed theirs. It has created a nightmare for the
Federal Government and put the Pentagon in permanent PR counterspin as well as exposed 15
years of official coverup under three Presidents and corruption in Congress. Our children,
our sons and daughters, have been sent off to the battlefields of the Middle East and
Central Asia to become uranium meat. The cost of their care has been dumped on the state
medical facilities. Their families have been destroyed, not to mention their lives. It is
time for citizens and state elected officials to pass depleted uranium bills which will
help all soldiers by putting pressure on the Federal Government.
Each of us has a part to play by demonstrating at local
facilities like Alliant (manufacturer of depleted uranium weapons), writing letters to
local newspapers, contacting elected officials, counter-recruiting in schools, or just
passing on the information so that others can become aware. Put a song in their hearts by
sending �Johnny Got A Gun�* to your local radio station or Indymedia site to play on the
air.
DEPLETED URANIUM IS WASHINGTON�S SECRET NUCLEAR WAR.
