US Radiation Wars Thought To Be Cause

Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab Whistleblower

 

(Berkeley, CA) The data is coming in country by

country confirming my discovery of a global epidemic of diabetes which began

with Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 and has continued to increase during

atmospheric testing, nuclear power plant operations, and very sharply since

depleted uranium was introduced in 1991.

 

Govt. data from Japan, the US, India, and now Europe

confirm large increases in diabetes since 1991, in most cases, the highest

increases since 1945.

 

Attached is a series of maps of diabetes from the

New York Times article on diabetes January 9, 2006. The global diabetes map

is clearly a fallout map, basically from atmospheric testing.

 

The US map shows the highest diabetes increases in

the Gulf States (Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi) where the DU is

carried by the Westerlies across the Atlantic and rained out along the Gulf

Coast. Puerto Rico has the highest diabetes rates in the US - 25% of the

population has diabetes, and it is 8 miles downwind from Vieques Island

where the US military tested DU for decades.

 

The New York City map confirms what the Radiation

and Public Health Project has known for ten years - and confirmed in 7

states - that the US govt. is shipping the most radioactive contaminated

milk into black communities and poor communities - Harlem, Brooklyn and the

Bronx. Dr. Ernest Sternglass presented our findings at the Hiroshima

Genocide Conference which he and I attended in March 2006.

 

We can expect the use of depleted uranium weaponry,

by Israel in the recent aggression against Lebanon, will continue to add to

the increase in diabetes in the region and globally.

 

Few people realize that thousands of pounds of

depleted uranium are used in nuclear weapons, packed around the small

plutonium cores to reflect the fast neutrons back into the core for more

efficient fissioning. The depleted uranium in nuclear bombs is called

" tamping " which I found described in the US Army Pamphlet by Glasstone on

nuclear weapons.

 

The major radioactive pollutant from atmospheric

testing was uranium. There is an established link in the scientific

literature between uranium and diabetes. Diabetes has also been linked to

radiation exposure in Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Chernobyl survivors. Leuren

PLEASE GO TO THIS WEBSITE AND DISCOVER FOR

YOURSELVES THE SERIOUS ISSUE OF INCREASING DIABETES LEVELS IN EU

 

Chernobyl fallout and depleted uranium used in Iraq,

Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Lebanon are the main causes.

http://www.fend.org/news.html " The Federation of European Nurses in Diabetes

(FEND) supports unreservedly this pertinent initiative of IDF in seeking to

establish a UN Resolution on diabetes. FEND is proud to be a supporting

organization to this campaign. "

 

" The pandemic of diabetes with its costly economic

and social implications demands of every nation and leader their support of

IDF in bringing this campaign to a successful conclusion in the service of

mankind. "

 

International Diabetes Federation launches 'Unite

for Diabetes' campaign to win government support for UN Resolution

Brussels/Washington D.C., 10 June 2006

The 'Unite for Diabetes' campaign was launched by

the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in Washington today.

 

The campaign aims to highlight the alarming rise of

diabetes worldwide and to encourage government support for a United Nations

Resolution on diabetes. IDF is leading the global diabetes community in a

concerted effort to secure the Resolution on or around World Diabetes Day

(November 14) 2007.

 

Diabetes is a leading cause of death in Europe -

over 25 million people in the EU are affected by this chronic disease which

can often lead to serious and costly complications such as cardiovascular

disease, stroke, kidney failure, blindness and amputation.

 

Furthermore, 50 percent of people with diabetes are

thought to be living with the condition unaware and undiagnosed. It is

estimated that the number of people affected by diabetes could rise by up to

16 percent by 2025.

 

John Bowis MEP, Chair of the European Parliament's

Diabetes Working Group, who lives with diabetes himself: " The Austrian

Presidency of the EU has given diabetes a great deal of attention since

January but with the support of MEPs today, I hope this resolution will make

all European Ministers and European Commissioners understand the seriousness

of the epidemic. "

 

FEND ATHENS DECLARATION 10 September 2005

 

The pandemic of Diabetes Mellitus presents a major

public health challenge for all European national health care systems. It is

estimated that 30 million European citizens have diabetes today within the

European Union, with a prevalence of 7.5% in member states.

 

In addition a further 50% of EU citizens are

estimated to have this incurable condition but are currently unaware. This

indicates a pernicious low level of awareness and demonstrates a serious and

unacceptable deficiency in diagnosis of high risk groups and a paucity of

national prevention public health policies within the EU.

 

Diabetes continues to be a leading cause of

premature death, a 3-4 times higher risk of cardio-vascular disease, a 20

fold higher risk of lower limb amputation, the commonest cause of renal

failure and blindness. In recent years the emergence of type 2 diabetes in

children and adolescents is a new and serious health challenge to the youth

of Europe, their families and society. It is further estimated that

pre-diabetes affects 100 million people of whom 50% will develop diabetes

within the next 5 years.

Leuren Moret is a geoscientist and international

radiation specialist. By mapping disease she has been able to expose the

full impact of radiation exposure on the global community from atmospheric

testing, nuclear power plants and depleted uranium weapons. By using

geoscience as a tool to understanding radiation, she has established the

link between the impact of radiation on the health of the environment and

global public health.
