More and more veterans have become chronically ill from a multitude of

symptoms since the end of Gulf War I. For many years the U.S.

government denied any responsibility for their mysterious symptoms.

Only 7,035 men were injured in this war. A total of 580,400 soldiers

served in the first Gulf War. By the end of 2000 325,000 of these

troops had become disabled This means that 56 % of those who served in

the first Gulf War were disabled within less than 10 years.

 

In August 2004 American Free Press reported that eight out of twenty

men serving in one unit during the 2003 invasion of Iraq had developed

malignancies. This translates into 40 % of the soldiers in that one

unit developing malignancies within a 16 month period of time. What is

causing these terrible health problems?

 

Nine members of the National Guard from New York State recently

returned from Iraq. These persons were deployed as Military Police.

Two manmade forms of uranium were found in urine specimens from 4 of

these 9 soldiers. Certainly soldiers in combat roles would be expected

to have even greater exposure to inhaling depleted uranium dust.

 

Since 1943 the military has been aware of the extreme toxicity of

uranium as a gas. A Oct 30, 1943 memo from Manhattan Project physicist

James B. Conant to Brig. General L.B. Abrams stated that as a gas

warfare instrument the radioactive material would be ground into

microscopic particles forming dust and smoke and could be distributed

by ground fired projectiles, land vehicles or aerial bombs. In this

form it would be inhaled by personnel. They estimated that one

millionth of a gram would be fatal. There are no known methods of

treatment for such casualties.

 

 

The depleted uranium DU was also recommended as a permanent terrain

contaminant which could be used to destroy populations by

contaminating water supplies and agricultural land with radioactive

dust. Current estimates suggest that the damaged soil in Iraq,

Yugoslavia and Afghanistan will need four and a half billion years to

recover from the radioactive effect of DU.

 

Some of the uranium from shells vaporizes into particles measuring

1/10 of a micron. These particles enter the atmosphere and later fall

to the ground with rain. Radioactive debris has been found at both the

North and South Poles. In gaseous form the chemically toxic and

radioactive uranium easily enters the body through the skin or when

inhaled into the lungs. Clothing and gas masks are easily penetrated.

Large missiles and bombs can disperse nearly 100 % of the DU into the

atmosphere whereas only 30 % of a tank shell disperses when fired. Any

soldier or civilian who breathes this gas has a permanent dose of

radioactive uranium RAU.

 

Uranium is quite dense so it is ideal for penetrating armor. The

radioactive uranium is shaped into a penetrating rod 18 inches long

and ¾ inch in diameter. When these shells are fired some of the

uranium contacts air and explodes into flame (pyrophoric quality).

 

Scientists studying the biologic effects of radiation in the 1960s

reported that radioactive uranium targets the DNA. Marion Fulk, a

nuclear physical chemist, who had worked for both the Manhattan

project and the Livermore Nuclear Weapon Lab interprets the new and

rapid development of malignancies in soldiers from the 2003 war as

" spectacular and a matter of concern. " She states " This is the perfect

weapon (DU) for killing lots of people. "

 

There are three effects of depleted uranium on biologic systems

–radiation, chemical and particulate. The particulate effect of

nano-sized particles is the most important of these three. This

appears immediately after exposure and targets the master code of DNA.

Simply stated depleted uranium " trashes the body. " The DNA damage is

so severe these patients develop multiple simultaneous cancers from

different causes. This new syndrome has never been reported before and

is unique to internal depleted uranium exposure. Such patients were

seen in civilians in Yugoslavia after NATO bombing using DU bombs.

There is currently an epidemic of cancer in Iraqi children.

 

Another horrifying consequence of DU exposure is damage to sperm

causing many severe deformities in the children born to veterans of

the first Gulf War. A group of 251 soldiers from Mississippi, who all

had normal babies before service in Iraq, were studied. Sixty seven

percent of their post war babies were born with severe birth defects.

These children were missing legs, arms, organs or eyes and had immune

system and blood diseases. In some Gulf War veterans families the only

normal children are those who were born before serving in Iraq. The

Department of Defense denies any knowledge of birth defects in Gulf

War I veterans.

 

How Much Depleted Uranium Has Been Used?

 

Depleted uranium weapons were developed by the U.S. Navy in 1968.

Depleted uranium weapons were given to and used by Israel with U.S.

supervision in the Yom Kippur War in 1973 against the Arabs nations.

Military research detailed the use of DU weapons at military testing

grounds, bombing and gunnery ranges and civilian labs under contracts

between 1974-1999. Presently 42 states have contamination from the

manufacture, testing and deployment of depleted uranium. The United

States has sold DU weapons to 29 countries.

 

In Gulf War I DU weapons were used against Iraq. Between 315 and 350

tons of depleted uranium was used in that war. The current Iraq war

has expended an estimated 5 times more tonnage of DU than was used in

the first Gulf War.

 

Japanese professor, Dr. K. Yagasaki, has calculated that 800 tons of

depleted uranium is the atomicity equivalent of 83,000 bombs the size

of the one which struck Nagasaki. The U.S. has used more depleted

uranium since 1991 than the atomicity equivalent of 400,000 Nagasaki

bombs. This includes four nuclear wars (Iraq twice, Yugoslavia and

Afghanistan) and is 10 times the amount of radiation released into the

air from atmospheric testing. Experts from the Department of Defense

say that the U.S. has 100 million tons of DU. Using up the DU in wars

afford a convenient way to dispose of some of the radioactive uranium

and thus avoid some of the huge expense that careful disposing of tons

of DU would entail.

 

The " clean up " of 34 Abrams tanks and Bradley armored vehicles that

were erroneously hit by U.S. missiles during this first Gulf war was

supervised by Dr. Doug Rokke. Today he is suffering ill effects from

DU that entered his body in the clean up. One of the problems he has

is brittle teeth. The uranium displaces calcium in both teeth and

bones resulting in teeth that break. The majority of U.S. casualties

in this war were from " friendly fire. " Dr. Rokke relates that DU is

used because it is the most effective weapon at killing and destroying

everything it hits.

 

Thousands of tons of depleted uranium were used for decades at four

bombing and gunnery ranges in Fallon, Nevada. This usage is no doubt

responsible for the fastest growing leukemia cluster in the U.S. The

military has denied that DU has anything to do with this cluster. The

medical profession has been involved in the cover-up—just as they were

hiding the adverse effects that low level radiation from atmospheric

testing and nuclear power plants were producing.

 

A physician in Northern California was being trained in the Pentagon

with other physicians months before the 2003 Gulf War started. They

were told 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[1] terms.

 

Senator Paul Wellstone informed Joyce Riley R.N., executive director

of the American Gulf War Veterans Association, that 95 % of Gulf War I

veterans had been recycled out of the military by 1995. Any of those

continuing in military service were carefully isolated from each

other, preventing critical information from being shared with new

troops. One has to wonder if his airplane crash was really an accident.

 

My initial reaction to the 1993 Gulf War was that it was all about oil

which we desperately needed. Now it appears that I was wrong.

Currently there is strong evidence that we are preparing to invade

Iran. Whether this invasion will be preceded by another " terrorist "

attack on the U.S. is obviously unknown. Perhaps a nuclear attack on a

U.S. city by " Arabs " would attract sufficient public opinion approval

to warrant another U.S. invasion of a sovereign nation.

 

My impression currently is that there may be a more insidious and

sinister aspect to the invasion of Iraq. Could we be using this

nuclear war as a way to lower the population of an Arab nation?

Exposing all the citizens in a nation to a daily dose of radioactive

uranium dust would be certain to produce very premature deaths and

inability to reproduce. These irradiated nations will have huge

problems with illness of their citizens and the inability of most

parents to produce healthy children for succeeding generations.

 

Who is going to be willing to work in irradiated oil fields knowing

that their life expectancy will be reduced by many years and that

there is a strong possibility that they will probably never be able to

have normal children. Even salaries of a million dollars annually do

not sound very attractive to me to work in those irradiation

contaminated oil fields.

 

The new book The High Priests of War documents how Henry Kissinger had

planned an attack against the Arab world in the late 1960s and early

1970s. This nicely coincided with a Middle Eastern oil crisis and the

development of DU war capabilities.

 

Mr. Kissinger had been previously involved in plans (later

implemented) to lower the population of blacks in Africa by using

bio-warfare[2] programs (vaccines contaminated with HIV virus). This

CIA plot was code named PROJECT MKNAOMI. The details about the

development of the HIV vaccine in the NIH Cancer Division are well

documented in Leonard G. Horowtz's book Emerging Viruses AIDS and

Ebola Nature, Accident or Intentional?

 

When David J. Smith asked Vietnam Special Ops Green Beret Captain John

McCarthy " who could have devised this omnicidal plan to use depleted

uranium to destroy the genetic code and genetic future of large

populations of Arabs and Moslems in the Middle East and Central Asia

where most of the world's oil deposits are located? " he replied " It

has all the handprints of Henry Kissinger. "

 

Zbignew Brezinski's new book The Grand Chess-board: American Primacy

and its Geostrategic Imperatives shows a Eurasian chessboard with 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 and missiles made from thousands of tons of

depleted uranium.
