“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 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 definition of Weapons of Mass
Destruction. Vast regions in the Middle East and Central Asia 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 Korényi-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.
