I came across an article the other day on the horrific death of an American soldier, an older, salt-of-the-earth, good American man. I found myself wanting to scream from frustration and RIGHTEOUS ANGER. WHY do people still make weak sounds about these matters? Why are people not taking action? What is being done is horrific! This is calculated genocide and the current regime is fully aware of what they do to the Iraqi people as part of this modern Papal Crusade II under Nazi Pope Ratzinger and his henchman, Count Peter Hans Kolvenbach, twenty-ninth Superior General of the Jesuit Order.
The whole thing is criminal and World Court is too good for these agents of horror. One the one hand, they use this devil’s brew as a major component to bring about genocide in the Middle East; then, they turn around to the very men who distributed this heinous poison and tell them that it is not exposure that causes their problems?
THEY CLAIM THAT DU IS SAFE?
EXCUSE ME, BUT THESE INEXCUSABLE LIES INFURIATE ME.
EXCUSE ME, BUT THESE INEXCUSABLE LIES INFURIATE ME.
How successful is the dumbing down of a populace when you can get away with such callous idiocy? IT IS PRETTY DARN SUCCESSFUL! Perhaps they consider this neglect and denial an efficient means to remove excess “baggage” from the payrolls. After all, what good is a wounded or terminally ill soldier when it comes down to Neocon thinking?

Meanwhile, they throw huge parades to honor our Military but deny the truth and pain of those who return broken, poisoned, ill. Do the media cameras focus on THESE men when the military is honoured? Not that I noticed. Do they mention the invisible wounds that eat and destroy these people from inside? No! Instead these people are denied or snuck into the crowded hospitals under cover of darkness, clandestinely hidden away and heavily "protected" from the prying media.
Since 1965 the American military has expended thousands of TONS of depleted uranium ammunition, on military firing and bombing ranges in the United States and Puerto Rico.
There is a myth that ammunition is ‘tipped’ with DU, actually the shells are solid DU or uranium #238, laced with uranium #235. The term depleted means it is no longer useful as fuel in an atomic reactor. It is not very dangerous to handle DU when it’s in a solid form.
The danger is, when DU shells are fired, the DU burns and when the round strikes a target, a cloud of smoke, filled with mano-meter uranium specks, fills the air. In a single cupful of DU dust and smoke, there are FIVE BILLION particles of deadly dust, blowing in the wind. There are about three cupfuls of DU particles in a tank shell and one in a single 30mm shell.
A mano-meter particle of DU, is one millionth of a meter in diameter. If a single speck is inhaled through the nose, it can cross the olfactory bulb and go directly to the brain. Lodged in the brain, several things will occur ~ none are good. First, it will bombard any cell it has adhered to, with over ‘ten thousand times’ the amount of radiation that is acceptable for a tooth or chest x-ray. Unlike a chest x-ray DU does not radiate for seconds, it radiates the cell forever and cancer will occur.
DU ~ THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING!
Next, when human cells become cancerous, metastasis may occur, cancerous cells break off and migrate through the blood stream and settle in any part of the body, where a new cancer factory begins, in the liver, kidneys, lymph nodes, ovaries, breasts, etc. DU in the brain can damage the mitochondria, which provides all energy to the body’s cells and nerves. Chronic fatigue symptom and diseases, such as Lou Gehrig’s, Parkinson’s, Hodgkin’s, diabetes, autism, etc may result. That is from a single mano-particle of DU in the brain, one in the lung will assure cancer there also.
In the lung, a mano-particle of DU can enter the blood stream and travel to bone marrow, again cancer is assured; in addition, there it can alter the body’s genetic code and this in turn can be transferred to a fetus. The result is a deformed baby with any number of horrible deformities and or, serious medical problems such as autism, diabetes, missing eyes, missing limbs or sex organs. I won’t go on there, it is truly horrible. Pictures are available on the internet under DU, for those who may doubt what DU in the body can accomplish.
DU use in weapons is by far the last word for the term ~ ‘weapons of mass destruction’. We have used thousands of TONS of DU in the Mid-East. There are over a hundred pounds of DU in a penetrator bomb and when those explode, every bit turns to mano-meter specks of silent, wind blown death. Much of Afghanistan and almost all of Iraq is totally polluted FOREVER with DU. Did I mention, the invisible, microscopic specks of DU are deadly for several billion years? They say 4.5 billion years actually.
People in the Pentagon, DOD, W-H-O and others, have written that DU is not harmful, inhaled DU dust is not dangerous, DU is safe to use and not to worry.
THEY DO NOT EVEN SHOW NEW SOLDIERS THE
NECESSARY SAFETY FILMS THAT WERE MADE FOR THEIR PROTECTION!
NECESSARY SAFETY FILMS THAT WERE MADE FOR THEIR PROTECTION!
Why would they lie? Why does any government official or politician lie? They lie because they are attempting to hide the truth from the flock. How could any admit, they were forever polluting the Earth and over time, killing billions of people? They cannot admit it. Doctors who wrote papers about the dangers of DU ~ and worked for WHO were shut down, their papers trashed. Many doctors are not heard. And, considering the AIDs situation, who can trust the WHO anyhow? Of course they are complicit in this futile attempt at a cover up.
Let us for a few moments forget everything we ever heard, read, or saw on TV about DU. For a few moments, pretend you know nothing about DU and consider these few facts.
More than 500,000 of the ground pounder troops who served in the First Gulf War, are now either permanently disabled or dead from cancers. Thousands more suffer from diseases; these are still young people. Thousands of babies born to them were deformed, or suffer from medical maladies like autism or cancers. The cancer rate for children in Iraq and Afghanistan has risen 4,300% since 1997. Since we have begun the use of DU in weapons, autism and cancers in children in the United States has become a major health problem, every year the percentages and trends show a dramatic rise in just those two medical problems. Children’s immune systems are not as well developed as adults and they show the symptoms of radiation poisoning sooner.
There are trillions times trillion of mano-meter size specks of DU in the air now, it is every place the wind blows, in our cities, streets, yards, homes, waters, farmland and gardens. One thing we notice is the birds and the bees are dwindling at a rapid rate. Animals like birds and bees can’t handle poison as well as humanity does. They begin to die off, and it’s an obvious clue there is a major problem wafting in the air.
Back to the why lie? Lies are told for many reasons, the first is often money, lots of money selling DU ammunition. Over 30 countries now use it. Of course there is pride, stupidity, ignorance, bull-headedness, fear of being tagged as an idiot. There are may reasons people lie. There also exists trillions of dollars in lawsuits if even the slightest admission of its existence is admitted to by the perpetrators.
Here is an analogy. Joseph Lord Lister, known as the father of antiseptics wrote:
“Without Semmelweis, my achievements would be nothing”.
The Hungarian Dr. Semmelweis discovered that, if doctors would only wash their hands, childbirth fever, could be eradicated. In his day, microscopes were a dream, microbes were unknown to exist. Semmelweis devoted his life to eliminating one of the great horrors of childbearing. In his hospital, deaths from infections were few and one year there were none.
Laying in hospital in Vienna, every woman who gave birth died. All of them. The papers Semmelweis had for years written on the subject had been ignored; he was called the fool of Peth. His finding were scoffed at by the world’s leading doctors and the entire medical field. Their stupidity and obtuseness finally drove the man insane, and he committed suicide.
One of his favored students was Lord Lister, who carried on the work of Simmelweis and finally won the war and doctors began to wash their hands. Much of the crying of the mothers in the laying in hospitals ceased.
History almost always repeats itself until the lesson is properly learned. The truth of DU use will over time come out. Sadly, time is running out and the crying will be coming from OUR descendants. FOR 4.5 BILLION YEARS.
After serving in Vietnam nearly 40 years ago ~ and receiving the Bronze Star for it ~ a Tucson soldier, Sgt. James Lauderdale, was called back to active duty in Iraq.
While there, he awoke one morning with a sore throat. Eighteen months later, Army Sgt. James Lauderdale was dead, of a bizarrely aggressive cancer rarely seen by the doctors who tried to treat it.
As a result, his stunned and heartbroken family has joined growing ranks of sickened and dying Iraq war vets and their families who believe exposures to toxic poisons in the war zone are behind their illnesses ~ mostly cancers, striking the young, taking them down with alarming speed.
The number of these cancers remains undisclosed, with military officials citing patient privacy issues, as well as lack of evidence the cases are linked to conditions in the war zone. The U.S. Congress has ordered a probe of suspect toxins and may soon begin widespread testing of our armed forces.
"He got so sick, so fast"
Jim Lauderdale was 58 when his National Guard unit was deployed to the Iraq-Kuwait border, where he helped transport arriving soldiers and Marines into combat areas.
He was a strong man, say relatives, who can't remember him ever missing a day of work for illness. He developed a cancer of the mouth, which overwhelmingly strikes smokers, drinkers and tobacco chewers. He was none of those.
"Jim's doctors didn't know why he would get this kind of cancer ~ they had no answers for us," said his wife, Dixie.
"He got so sick, so fast. We really think it had to be something he was exposed to over there. So many of the soldiers we met with cancer at Walter Reed complained about the polluted air they lived in, the brown water they had to use, the dust they breathed from exploded munitions. It was very toxic."
As a mining engineer, Lauderdale knew exactly what it meant when he saw the thick black smoke pouring nonstop out of the smokestacks that line the Iraq/Kuwait border area where he was stationed for three months in 2005.
"He wrote to me that everyone was complaining about their stinging eyes and sore throats and headaches," Dixie said. "For Jim to say something like that, to complain, was very unusual.
"One of the mothers on the cancer ward had pictures of her son bathing in the brown water," she said. "He died of kidney cancer."
An American soldier praying to his God before going out on a mission.
Stationed in roughly the same area as Lauderdale, yet another soldier ~ now fighting terminal colon cancer ~ described the scene there ~ of oil refineries, a cement factory, a chlorine factory and a sulfuric acid factory, all spewing unfiltered and uncontrolled substances into the air.
"One day, we were walking toward the port and they had sulfuric acid exploding out of the stacks. We were covered with it, everything was burning on us, and we had to turn around and get to the medics," said Army Staff Sgt. Frank Valentin, 35.
Not long after, he developed intense rectal pain, which doctors told him for months was hemorrhoids. Finally diagnosed with aggressive colorectal cancer ~ requiring extensive surgery, resulting in a colostomy bag ~ he was given fewer than two years to live by his Walter Reed physicians.
He is now a couple of months past that death sentence, but his chemo drugs are starting to fail, and the cancer is eating into his liver and lungs. He spends his days with his wife and three children at their Florida home.
"I don't know how much time I have," he said.
None of these soldiers know for sure what's killing them. But they suspect it's a cascade of multiple toxic exposures, coupled with the intense stress of daily life in a war zone weakening their immune systems.
"There's so much pollution from so many sources, your body can't fight what's coming at it," Valentin said. "And you don't eat well or sleep well, ever. That weakens you, too. There's no chance to gather your strength. These are kids 19, 20 and 21 getting all kinds of cancers. The Walter Reed cancer ward is packed full with them."
The prime suspect in all this, in the minds of many victims ~ and some scientists ~ is what's known as depleted uranium ~ the radioactive chemical prized by the military for its ability to penetrate armored vehicles. When munitions explode, the substance hits the air as fine dust, easily inhaled.
Last month, the Iraqi environment minister blamed the tons of the chemical dropped during the war's "shock and awe" campaign for a surge of cancer cases across the country.
However, the Pentagon and U.S. State Department strongly deny this, citing four studies, including one by the World Health Organization that found levels in war zones not harmful to civilians or soldiers. A U.N. Environmental Program study concurs, but only if spent munitions are cleared away.
The boys pray before going out to drop bombs for their Military Masters.
Returning solders have said that isn't happening.
"When tanks exploded, I would handle those tanks, and there was DU everywhere," said Valentin. "This is a big issue."
The fierce Iraq winds carry desert sand and dust for miles, said Dixie Lauderdale, who suspects her husband was exposed to at least some depleted uranium. Many vets from the Gulf War blame the chemical used in that conflict for their Gulf War syndrome illnesses.
As the controversy rages, Congress has ordered a comprehensive independent study, due in October, of the health effects of depleted uranium exposure on U.S. soldiers and their children. And a "DU bill" ~ ordering all members of the U.S. military exposed to it be identified and tested ~ is working its way through Congress.
"Basically, we want to get ahead of this curve, and not go through the years of painful denial we went through with Agent Orange that was the legacy of Vietnam," said Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz., a co-sponsor of the bill.
"We want an independent agency to do independent testing of our soldiers, and find out what's really going on. These incidents of cancer and illness that all of us are hearing about back in our districts are not just anecdotal ~ there is a pattern here. And yes, I do suspect DU may be at the bottom of it."
What's happening today ~ growing numbers of sickened soldiers who say they were exposed to it amid firm denials of harm from military brass ~ almost mirrors the early stages of the Agent Orange aftermath. It took the U.S. military almost two decades to admit the powerful chemical defoliant killed and disabled U.S. troops in the jungles of Vietnam, and to begin compensating them for it.
Whatever it was that struck Jim Lauderdale did a terrifying job of it.
Sent to Walter Reed with oral cancer in April 2005, he underwent his first extensive and disfiguring surgery, removing half his tongue to get to tumors in the mouth and throat. A second surgery followed a month later to clear out more of those areas.
Five months later, another surgery removed a new neck tumor. Then came heavy chemotherapy and radiation.
Shortly after, he had a massive heart attack, undergoing another surgery to place stents in his arteries. Two weeks later, the cancer was back and growing rapidly, forcing a fourth surgery in January 2006.
By this time, much of his neck and shoulder tissue was gone, and doctors tried to reconstruct a tongue, using tissue from his wrist. He couldn't swallow, so was fed through a tube into his stomach.
Just weeks later, four external tumors appeared on his neck ~ "literally overnight," his wife said.
Suffering severe complications from the chemo drugs, Lauderdale endured 39 radiation treatments, waking up one night bleeding profusely through his burned skin. The day after his radiation ended, new external tumors erupted at the edge of the radiation field, flabbergasting his doctors.
"As this aggressive disease grew though chemo radiation, it was determined at this point there was no chance for cure," his oncologist wrote then.
By then, the cancer had spread to his lungs and spine and, most frightening of all, "hundreds and thousands" of tumors were erupting all over his upper body, his wife said.
"The doctors said they'd never seen anything like it ~ that this happens in only 1% of cases," she said.
Efforts to contact his doctors at Walter Reed were unsuccessful, but a leading head-and-neck cancer specialist at the Arizona Cancer Center reviewed the course of Lauderdale's disease.
"This is a very wrenching case," said Dr. Harinder Garewal. "This is unusually aggressive behavior for an oral cancer. I would agree it happens in only % of cases." When oral cancer occurs in nonsmokers and non-drinkers, it tends to be more aggressive, he said.
"My feeling is the immune system for some reason can't handle the cancer."
Jim Lauderdale died on July 14, 2006, and was buried in Arlington National Cemetery. Dixie and their two grown children still feel the raw grief of loss, but not anger, she said.
"But I am convinced something very wrong is happening over there. Is anyone paying attention to this? Is the cancer ward still full?" she asked. "I would hate to see another whole generation affected like this, but I'm very afraid it will be."
Sorry Dixie, but it is far, far worse than that.
Instead of merely a “whole generation” being affected,
try every living thing on Earth FOREVER.
4.5 Billion years is pretty close to "forever"
as mankind reckons time.

We owe our soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines on active duty and our veterans from Vietnam to Iraq; our children and ourselves the truth about depleted uranium, agent orange, secret testing of vaccines and drugs, and the other horrors and indignities poured upon us by this Nazi-run force that wishes to make a fourth Reich of the entire planet.
This is international criminality and war crimes of the highest degree. It’s a CRIME the entire Congress isn’t addressing this immediately. Where’s the United Nations? Where’s the International Criminal Court? Too bad there’s no way to prosecute the whole lot of them for malfeasance. Well then, who actually runs the UN anyhow?
All their lips are zippered shut for some strange reason. The complicit media, of course, slavishly obeys and hides the truth, keeping out anything that might upset the slaves of as it distracts them with inane programming and propaganda news.
At least 18 countries possess these weapons, the use of which is contrary to existing humanitarian law. Amerika is the only one to use them in battle. Three times at least.

Nuclear waste poses a lengthy expensive disposal problem for the nuclear industry. Rather than have to meet their responsibility to the American public they sometimes even give it to the military at minuscule, or no, cost. Nuclear power is NOT safe, as moneyed interests would have us be fooled into thinking by their massive propaganda campaigns. Their irresponsible disposal method by handing this deadly material over to the military makes them co-conspirators in war crimes & liable.
So far Amerikka has spent at least $700 billion on this manufactured War OF Terror. This is only the tip of the iceberg, however, because the medical costs of taking care of returning military, their widowed/widower spouses, and their offspring, possibly or even very likely for their entire lives is truly staggering, possibly running into trillions of dollars. What does this really mean for the taxpayer, though? If the American public thinks our increasing by $100 billion a year military budget is bloated just wait until they see the expanded tab for the military medical wing ~ even in peacetime!!! Do not be surprised to see Bechtel, Halliburton, & KBR open medical divisions going after more no-bid contracts. Somehow greedy private insurance companies will belly up to the taxpayer trough, too.
Now to the heart of the money matter. Doesn’t it make sense that if you wanted to take over the natural resources of a country or region it would be much easier if all the people living there ‘conveniently’ died off,or left? So far, out of a pre-war population of 26 million, a million Iraqis are dead and well over two million are homeless, and two million more have left the country. That’s almost 20% of the population. Adding insult to injury the US is intent on forcing Iraq to pass a hydrocarbon law that basically steals Iraqi oil so the big oil companies make tens of billions of the deal.
What it boils down to is this ~ Clinton was the Vatican's man for Part II of the Papal crusade against Islam and the eradication of Muslims and the Greek Orthodox Church. Slick Willie was richly rewarded for his efforts at "cleansing" the area. This was, after Japan in WWII, the Second Nuclear attack in the world. Now, GW Busch has fully engaged in the third nuclear attack, not a big boom, but hundreds of thousand of smaller ones. It is the Papal Crusade all over again, with the "conquerers" making obscene profits whilst engaging in genocide for their Vatican masters.

How many Corporate Doctor Lackeys are standing by to deny the existence of deadly diseases never before seen in nature ~ caused by their deadly chemicals never before seen in nature? We all know what the Busch Fascist Dictatorship does to whistle blowers.
How can anyone who has known about DU possibly summon up any love for a country that produces people capable of out-Nazi-ing the Third Reich Nazis ~ any day of the week?
The use of depleted uranium weaponry is in direct violation of the NPT, U.N charter, and Geneva Conventions. Of course the monster neo-Cons who began using this insidious weaponry in Bosnia/Kosovo, under Clinton's regime. These creatures don’t give a rat’s ass about ANYONE except the dead presidents on money, and the world domination that goes with it, of course. We have not even mentioned the Jesuit/Vatican craving to control the soul of humanity as in the feudal Dark Ages when the Pope reigned supreme.
~ the extermination of humanity.
