Depleted uranium is WMD
Leuren Moret
My grandfather, U.S. Army Col. Edwin Joseph McAllister, was born in Battle
Creek in 1895. He does not know that his first grandchild is an
international expert on depleted uranium. I have worked in two U.S.
nuclear weapons laboratories, and in 1991 I became a whistleblower at the
Livermore lab. Depleted uranium is very, very, very nasty stuff:
Depleted uranium (DU) weaponry meets the definition of weapon of mass
destruction in two out of three categories under U.S. Federal Code Title
50 Chapter 40 Section 2302.
DU weaponry violates all international treaties and agreements, Hague and
Geneva war conventions, the 1925 Geneva gas protocol, U.S. laws and U.S.
military law.
Since 1991, the U.S. has released the radioactive atomicity equivalent of
at least 400,000 Nagasaki bombs into the global atmosphere. That is 10
times the amount released during atmospheric testing which was the
equivalent of 40,000 Hiroshima bombs. The U.S. has permanently
contaminated the global atmosphere with radioactive pollution having a
half-life of 2.5 billion years.
The U.S. has illegally conducted four nuclear wars in Yugoslavia,
Afghanistan and twice in Iraq since 1991, calling DU "conventional"
weapons when in fact they are nuclear weapons.
DU on the battlefield has three effects on living systems: it is a heavy
metal "chemical" poison, a "radioactive" poison and has a "particulate"
effect due to the very tiny size of the particles that are 0.1 microns and
smaller.
The blueprint for DU weaponry is a 1943 Manhattan Project memo to Gen. L.
Groves that recommended development of radioactive materials as poison gas
weapons - dirty bombs, dirty missiles and dirty bullets.
DU weapons are very effective kinetic energy penetrators, but even more
effective bioweapons since uranium has a strong chemical affinity for
phosphate structures concentrated in DNA.
DU is the Trojan Horse of nuclear war - it keeps giving and keeps killing.
There is no way to clean it up, and no way to turn it off because it
continues to decay into other radioactive isotopes in over 20 steps.
Terry Jemison at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs stated in August
2004 that over 518,000 Gulf-era veterans (14-year period) are now on
medical disability, and that 7,039 were wounded on the battlefield in that
same period. Over 500,000 U.S. veterans are homeless.
In some studies of soldiers who had normal babies before the war, 67
percent of the post-war babies are born with severe birth defects -
missing brains, eyes, organs, legs and arms, and blood diseases.
In southern Iraq, scientists are reporting five times higher levels of
gamma radiation in the air, which increases the radioactive body burden
daily of inhabitants. In fact, Iraq, Yugoslavia and Afghanistan are
uninhabitable.
Cancer starts with one alpha particle under the right conditions. One gram
of DU is the size of a period in this sentence and releases 12,000 alpha
particles per second.
Before my grandfather died, he told me that his generation had made a mess
of this planet. I wonder what he would say to me now I would tell him to
see "Beyond Treason" (www.beyondtreason.com), a new documentary about the
history of treason by the U.S. government against our own troops: Atomic
veterans, MK-Ultra, Agent Orange and DU. After Vietnam, Henry Kissinger
said, "Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in
foreign policy. . ." (from Chapter 5 in the "Final Days" by Woodward and
Bernstein).
Leuren Moret is an international radiation specialist, with a B.S. degree
in geology from University of California at Davis, a M.A. degree in Near
Eastern studies from University of California at Berkeley and has done
post-graduate work in the geosciences at UC-Davis. She is environmental
commissioner for the City of Berkeley, Calif.

|

Hello Ferre and friends,
Aloha. Amazing post. Holy cow! That's more than shocking news. I'm motivated now to investigate and then possibly to take some Potassium Iodide tablets to help prevent radiation cancer. No need to wait for nuclear war - the radiation is ALREADY circling our planet from US military weapons and possibly others, too.
Anyone out there know about this supposed preventive to cancer from radiation sickness? I've heard that it's safe, inexpensive and effective.
All the best to you and yours,
Roger |

Do you know it only takes an amount of plutonium the size of a pollen grain to cause lethal cancer.

At first I was about to rip this article apart, but then I got to thinking, "Hmmm, where did I receive my training on DU weapons? The Army. Maybe I should do a little further research." So I did, and I found this article against depleted uranium weapons and their use in the civilian world as well which I will post here.
http://www.cadu.org.uk/
It makes some strong points that I think one should further research. So, I did. And the very next thing I read was pro DU. You should be warned that this one reads like Big G propoganda and may lull you to sleep.

 You do further research and be the judge.

Thank you for the good links aeroplane.
The war on people has been declared. I wonder what I am doing sitting here and let it happen while I should be collecting information and hand it out to the people. Maybe I'll be doing just that when I am back from my holidays. Give me ten days to recharge my batteries!

Don't worry about it EZ-E.  Have a happy holiday and we will look forward to your insights when you return. Many happy and joyful times to you.
Peace, and please share with us your adventures.
However, for the rest of us out there in Never-Never Land, maybe its time we begin to consider the power we have together as a collective bargaining coallition.
 Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
