Guest guest Posted April 16, 1999 Report Share Posted April 16, 1999 Dear devotees, Pamho. AgtSP! Here I am sending the letter I have received recently. How far Kali-yuga has been advancing! This is realy purification. "I hope you will enjoy it." Y.s. MHRd ------------ Roger, my husband and I lead a very heavy anti-NATO campaign here. Today is aspecially tight because the BBC does not give comments on using DU (depleted uranium) weapons, what was only mentioned on the CNN. However it is very hard to break trough this media-blocade. I do not know if you really undrestood it, NATO is not planing to use DU ammo, NATO is already doing it. EVERY missile contained reduced uranium. In the time of explosion 80% of this becomes uranium-oxide, a very fine dust, size of half microns. Ones inhaled it is the equivalent of 20 doses of standard X-ray rentgen, lifelong (because of long term radiation of this element). Here we are trying to get the atention of public (here and also in Yugoslavia) to consider these facts. This is what caused the so-called "Gulf-sindrom" after the Gulf-war, and now about 80 000 veterans of this war have the identical simptoms, what says to us that both sides are affected by this. Now why would they care about us when they do not care about their own soldiers. I personally have the opinnion that people are not aware HOW dangerous this is, how horrible and long. It is no longer about bridges and houses nor about people who lost their lives during the bombing. After this, also earlier already, used in the Gulf-war and a little in Bosnia, this kind of amunition was NEVER used so much in the history of this planet on a so small time-space continuum. It just might happen that the ones who survived be envious on the dead ones. Please shake the public, this is more than a game... Loves all of you Tamara & Roger Coghill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However ,if you do not beleive,mabe you can think that NATO cool bomb civil train ,killing 60 people on the spot,civils of course,and in his endever to help "poor Albanians " they boomb civil line of Albanian Refugees,kiling about 80 old Albanian mans,children,womens.atc.Also they bomb many civil houses,aspetialy on Kosovo region but also all over Serbia,killing many civiles,leaving many havy woonded, in order to cause humanitarian catastrophy,to proove their action corect in the public eye in their countries.The message from all citizens,both Albanians and,Serbians and others to them is to PLS stop to "help"us. You are invited to come here and you can with your eyes witness how NATO is human. I can tell you freankly,most of the wars worldwide are created by NATO war machinery in order to make war profits,get new resources,extand their power,etc.They use politic "give the dog bad name and hang him". Most dangerous deemons who polute and bewilder whole humanity,as well as polute Mother Earth are there in their lidhership.{my personal realization}. So if you want to beleive them good luck. Afther their action in Mee Lay in Vietnam long ago i am convinced they are ready to do anything in their interest and i do not beleive them anything what they are claiming.If you want,go ahead,good luck.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 1999 Report Share Posted May 5, 1999 In response to mataji's Kunti posting how the fact that NATO is using depleted uranium in Yugo is a pure bunk: Civilians At Risk? Pentagon Official: Uranium Bullets Used in Yugoslavia Low- and slow-flying U.S. A-10 aircraft such as this one are firing depleted uranium rounds at Serb forces, a Pentagon official said. A-10 "Warthogs" earned a reputation as tank killers during the 1991 Gulf War. (AP Photo/ U.S. Air Force, Senior Airman Jeffrey Allen) By David Ruppe ABCNEWS.com May 4 — NATO aircraft are attacking Yugoslav targets with special bullets that some veterans groups believe were responsible for the illnesses of thousands of U.S. troops following the 1991 Gulf War. The controversial rounds, which contain depleted uranium (DU), were used extensively by U.S. A-10 warplanes to destroy the Iraqi tanks and other armored vehicles during the Gulf War. They were also used against Bosnian Serb targets in 1995. The depleted uranium shells, encased in steel, are even harder than titanium — an extremely tough, but light metal — and can pierce tank armor with relative ease. The depleted uranium is a slightly radioactive waste material that comes from the process of preparing uranium for nuclear reactors and weapons. When fired, the armor-piercing rounds leave a radioactive trail. Upon impact, they could disperse a radioactive uranium dust. Veterans groups have argued that the rounds may be linked to “Gulf War Illness,” the mysterious sicknesses suffered by thousands of U.S. troops who fought in the conflict, and could be hazardous to civilians and the environment. The Pentagon has acknowledged that thousands of U.S. soldiers were unnecessarily exposed to DU, but denies that is the cause of Gulf War Illness. Quoting an Air Force official, the Christian Science Monitor reported last week that U.S. A-10 aircraft participating in the airstrikes were armed with the bullets — but had not yet used them. Maj. Gen. Charles Wald, who is the Joint Chiefs’ vice director for strategic plans and policy, acknowledged Monday that 30mm depleted uranium rounds were in fact being fired by A-10 aircraft against Yugoslav forces. Not ‘Severe Problem’ But Wald played down the health consequences of using the rounds. “I’ve been thinking about it and I’ve been around the A-10s for a long time and I know that I’ve seen the munitions handler put these bullets in the aircraft, holding on to them for 20 years, so they’ve done a lot of scientific studies on those things and there really doesn’t seem to be a severe problem,” said Wald. “So I don’t think there’s a problem at all with [the rounds]. There’s never been a problem for any of us so it’s kind of old news,” he said. Scientists say the greatest risk occurs when the dust is ingested. Pentagon officials maintain the likelihood is low that the dust would be ingested by many people. A 1990 study commissioned by the Army, however, linked depleted uranium with cancer. It concluded that “no dose is so low that the probability of effect is zero.” A subcommission of the United Nation Human Rights Commission resolved in 1996 that depleted uranium is a weapon of mass destruction that should be banned. What Are Acceptable Risks? The Pentagon reportedly has been unable to establish its own safety standards for using depleted uranium. The Pentagon’s current regulations are based on Nuclear Regulatory Commission standards, which require masks and suits when dealing with depleted uranium contamination. But a 1993 report by the General Accounting Office, Congress’ investigative arm, said Army officials “believe that DU protective means can be ignored during battle.” Pentagon officials told the Monitor the military still needs to decide what are “acceptable risks” for using depleted uranium in combat. The National Gulf War Resource Center, a coalition of veterans groups based in Washington, estimated in January that as many as 600,000 Gulf War soldiers might have been exposed to some 300 tons of depleted uranium fired by U.S. aircraft at Iraqi troops in the 1991 Gulf War. 1999 ABC News Internet Ventures.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 1999 Report Share Posted May 8, 1999 ONE WORLD NEWS SERVICE The U.S. will neither confirm nor deny but the public has a right to know ---------- ---- 9th Febuary 1998 by Felicity Arbuthnot IRAQ ---------- ---- With the U.S. and Britain poised to begin an intense aerial bombardment of Iraq, there has been little mention of the consequences it would have for the health and environment of the Iraqi people and for the region as a whole. Recently, Russian President Boris Yeltsin expressed concern that an overly aggressive US posture at a time of high tensions is extremely dangerous, with possible wider ramifications beyond the region. Once again, we are seeing a vast buildup of weaponry in the region, with some new additions that set a dangerous precedent. There has been mention in recent media reports of 'bunker busting' weapons and 'deep-penetration' bombs that the US has spent huge sums in perfecting. The US tested new weapons in warfare before, and specifically against Iraq in 1991 when hundreds of tons of U-238 so-called depleted uranium bullets and shells were fired from A-10 aircraft, attack helicopters and tanks, littering the landscape with radioactive debris. There exists the possibility that the US forces will once again test their latest military technologies on Iraq. On November 15, 1995, at a meeting of the Nuclear Weapons Council Standing Safety Committee in the US, a request was made to accelerate the completion date of the B61-11 to December 1996. The B 61-11 is the nuclear version of the deep-penetrating bomb, destroying its intended target underground by means of a nuclear explosion. it was developed and deployed without congressional approval despite assurances that no new nuclear weapons were being developed in the US. There are other tactical nuclear weapons in the B-61 seies, for example, the B-61 models 3,4,and 10 that are already deployed in NATO countries and at bases in Turkey, the country of closest proximity to Iraq. According to Professor Paul Rogers of Bradford University, the B61-11 was specifically designed to destroy the deepest and most hardened of underground bunkers, which the conventional bunker-busting bombs mentioned recently in the press are incapable of destroying. The dangers of such a weapon include shock waves leading to seismic activity and the release of high level radioactive elements. There is a tradition of covering up the use of radioactive weapons. The public did not find out about the use of U-238 'depleted uranium' weapons until after the Gulf War. Their use was discovered because of 'friendly fire' incidents, when allied tanks mistakenly fired U-238 projectiles at other allied tanks. Presently, the US military is monitoring the radioactive breakdown of depleted uranium shrapnel lodged inside the bodies of US troops. Depleted uranium has a half-life of 4.5 billion years. There is now a fivefold increase of cancers in Iraq. Depleted uranium weaponry have been condemned as weapons of mass destruction by the United Nations Sub-Commission for the Prevention of Discrimination and Protection of Minorities. (SC 1997-36). The US has not ruled out the possibility of using the new earth penetrating B61-11 bomb that can be attached to a B2 bomber or is light enough to be carried on F16 aircraft. Recent history has shown that previously unheard-of weapon systems have been used, and in the confusion and immediacy of warfare, circumstances lead to uncontrolled excalation and accidents. THE PUBLIC HAS A RIGHT TO KNOW WHETHER THESE TACTICAL NUCLEAR WEAPONS, DESIGNED TO EXPLODE AT ONLY 100 FEET UNDERGROUND, WILL BE DEPLOYED. It is not the right of powerful countries to test their new weapons systems on Third World Countries, or on those countries that are considered 'rogue' states today, but that were economic and strategic partners in the recent past. And it is clear that civilians - men, women, and children - will be killed, despite claims of new, 'accurate' weapons being used. It is not the right of powerful countries to use their military might to apply pressure on the timetable of negotiations when so much is at stake. The Iraqi people are desperate; 1.2 million children, according to UNICEF, have died as a result of sanctions. ---------- ---- Disseminated on behalf of Gulf War II Information Network by Scientists for Global Responsibility (SGR) FOR FURTHER INFORMATION AND DETAILS ABOUT FORTHCOMING PRESS CONFERENCE, CONTACT DANIEL ROBICHEAU, TEL/FAX 0117 - 973 7746 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
