pollutionthat has come out of Afghanistan and fallen upon the people of India.They are working along the same lines we are here in theUnited States to first prove it, and then put a stop to itand get medical care for the abandoned and neglected.This recent ­ Urgent Deal ­ between Bush and India might bea Pre-emptive Strike to shut down the efforts in Indiato prove that DU has bit them in the butt, too.We are still waiting to see if any of the nations in Europe wake upto the fact that they got "peppered" with DU too, since theAldermaston DU would have to have come across them to have made it tothe UK.This is the article from India and then I'll return at the end withcomments and additional information. It is interesting to see howpeople of other nations view the United States and the Bush-Cheneycabal's use of DU weapons.Begin article: They Kill Us For Sport By Arun Shrivastava CMC Depleted uranium is a deadly toy in the hands of the ruling bloodlines.A particle of DU ingested or inhaled can cause one or more of the 90+ seriously debilitating diseases, fatal or temporarily non-fatal.[1] [see list of 91 diseases, Annex 1] The half life of DU is 4.5billion years, and it can destroy living things and the environment;most importantly it can destroy perfectly healthy lives. [2]Depleted uranium has been used in at least the last four warsby the United States and its allies: Gulf War 1, Bosnia and Kosovo in the Balkans, Afghanistan and Gulf War 2. The last two of the four wars, all illegal, took place in 2001 (Afghanistan) and 2003 (Iraq).Effects of the contamination can manifest from within a few hours to5

years.Evidences clearly indicate that depleted uranium is blowing in thewind all over the world. [3] Its effects on health are showing up indistant lands.Earlier, gulf war veterans and local civilians were affected;— now, of all the places, the US is showing— 6 - fold increase in just lung cancer cases.[4] The Emerging Ratio The population of the USA was 298, 298,906 on March 14, 2006,say 298 million.[5] The recorded 172,000 lung cancer casesfor January and February 2006 equates to 34 cases per 10,000 persons-men, women and children- up from the previously normal trend lineof 5.8 per 10,000 persons per annum, implying that additional 28.2cases per 10,000 persons have been added and recorded in a short time.It certainly can't be due to more Americans smoking cigarettes andcertainly not due to "other unexplained factors" such as lifestylechanges, which do change but over decades, not a few

years.The most plausible one is that the air we breathe is contaminatedwith depleted uranium and it is killing healthy people all over the world.If the population of the United States of America shows such anexplosive growth of lung cancer what does it imply for the rest of theworld?The world population on the same day and time was 6,503,376,192.Assuming the same ratio as that of the United States, i.e. additional28.2 cases per 10,000 persons, the world would see,or is probably already facing, an additional 18.34 million casesof untreatable cancer per year, or 1.52 million cases per month.Do they know it?Tobacco And Lung Cancer"In the 20th century, approximately 100 million people died world-widefrom tobacco-associated diseases (cancer, chronic lung disease,cardiovascular disease and stroke)," says a WHO report. [6]This means about one million deaths per year, although it isunderstandable that there were

fewer cases early on in the 20thcentury as compared to later when the numbers reached nearly 1.5million. In 2001, there were 1.5 million lung cancer deaths worldwide,or 125,000 per month.[7]Now, if the US data shows 172,000 new cases in January-February 2006,an average of 86,000 cases per month, something terrible has happened.Nuclear radiation induced cancers are peculiar: with right facilityand correct testing protocol, the murderers can't hide.With care, all the 91 radiation induced illnesses, identified byLeuren, can be traced to depleted radiation poisoning.The Map Says SomethingThe worst contamination would of course occur atand around the theatres of war, but region within 1000 mile radiuswould face serious depleted uranium contamination. [1]1000-mile radius means a total area of 3.14 million square mile.The two circles in the map represent an areaof 6.28 million square miles and,deducting say

20% for the overlapping area,the net affected area is just over 5 million square mile.The total land area of earth is about 57.3 million square mile,which implies that roughly 8% of total land area of the earthis now severely contaminated.And I am not including Bosnia and Kosovo theatres of war,which has seriously affected the Balkans as well as the NATO troops.[8](My comment:I wonder if the people of Israel are aware that the desired policy oftheir Govt.to have the US attacking Arab nations has polluted their nation with DU? Also, you can draw the same such circles around US target ranges,test ranges and military bases where US citizens have been exposed.Additionally, the air flow from Iraq to the UK would have takenthe DU contamination across much of Europe. -KS)Referring to the map, with Afghanistan's capital Kabul as the centre,depleted uranium affected region includes Pakistan,entire northwest

India, parts of Nepal, parts of China,major regions of Central Asian Republics, Iran, and the Gulfcountries, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi, two major financial andtrading centres.Taking Baghdad as the centre, the regions affected includes the entireWest Asia, parts of Egypt, parts of Greece, Cyprus, regions aroundthe Caspian Sea and islands in the eastern Mediterranean.It should be noted that Iran and some littoral states of Caspian Seahave been hit twice (see the overlapping area of the two circles)within two years: in 2001 and again in 2003. Thus the severest effectwould be felt in Iran, a few gulf countries, and a few Central Asianstates.Population AffectedThe total estimated population within the two circles was about 857 Mill. (See Table) in July 2005. If the US is showinga sharp six-fold rise in incidence of lung cancer alone,what will be the fate of these 857 million + people in the core

zones?Washington is exactly 6193.94 miles from radioactive Baghdad;and Kabul is just a bit further, about 6922.93 miles away,also highly radioactive.[9]The capitals of 19 countries are within 1000 mile radiusand include New Delhi (621 miles), Islamabad (232), Bishkek(651), Beirut (515), Cairo (806), Ankara (785), Jerusalem (546),Damascus (468), Kuwait City (347), Nikosia (643), Teheran (429),Abu Dabi (856), Aman (503), Riyadh (615), Ashqabat (645) and so on.And Americans are catching lung cancer by the thousands?Countries like India, Pakistan, Nepal, Afghanistan, Iraq, and someCentral Asian States do not even have well established, dependablecancer screening facilities, let alone determiningwhether the illness is due to depleted uranium contaminationor careless handling of toxic pesticides in the farms.Governments Will Contineu To MisleadThere are studies that clearly establish correlation between

cancerand exposure to a decoction of pesticides used in India's farmlandsand in some of these regions (especially Punjab)the incidences of cancer (of blood, lymphatic systems, esophagus,bone, cervical, etc) ranges from 5.12 to 10.3 per 10,000 persons.In the US itself, the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),analysis of pesticide residue data on 9282 people nationwiderevealed that among those who had blood and urine sample tested,100% showed pesticide residue.[10] Now, this is a global phenomenonand has definitely caused serious health problems (immune disorder,low birth weight of babies, and a host of other degenerative diseases.But a spike is missing."We can expect to see multiple cancers in one person.These multiple unrelated cancers in the same individual have beenreported in Yugoslavia and Iraq in families that had no history of anycancer.This is unknown in the previous studies of cancer,a

newphenomenon," says Leuren Moret.But weakness in data management, investigative techniques,and training of medical and paramedical personnel will be usedto the hilt by governments in the affected countries, bribed by theUS administration and corporate interests and lulled by the lullabyof the mainstream media, to whitewash the population that DU poisoningis one of the many benign environmental hazards that we must livewith, as was done by analysts with "depleted grey matter" in fourUS government (directly or indirectly) supported studies.[11, 12, 13, 14]Long Term ConsequencesIn our living memory we have the instance of Chernobyl.Scientists say that Chernobyl was not a nuclear explosion;it was just a huge, hot fire in the nuclear fuel.Yet, the radioactive fallout from Chernobyl contaminated farmlandsand livestock around Europe and Scandinavia for a long time,and the radiation is still traceable in the earth

and some living things.The regions surrounding Chernobyl shall remain uninhabitablefor an estimated three to six hundred years! [15]Depleted uranium is bit nastier; a fact that did occurto the omnicidal maniacs controlling the US administration.Now, project this scientific fact over just one country, India.The entire north-western region, including the Himalayas is affected.All perennial rivers flowing from the Himalayas into the Gangeticplains (the Ganga and Yamuna with hundreds of tributaries) and intoPakistan (the five rivers: Indus, Satluj, Jhelum, Ravi and Chenab),will contaminate the largest and oldest food growing area in the world.This region has a high livestock population that supports India'sand Pakistan's fuel, food, and farming needs.They will die or will have to be destroyed because of contamination.The Northwestern region is also economically the fastest growingregion in India, predicted to catch

up with Europe in 2020.Migration from slower growing eastern region has swelledthe transient population in western Indiaand we are talking aboutseasonal migration of millions of surplus farm/landless labourers,roughly 5 million live in Delhi alone eking out a living.Poor, physically weak because of inadequate nutrition, without accessto proper medical facilities, these people will be severely affected.When they contract one of the 90 odd radiation induced illnesses,they wouldn't even know what destroyed them,what destroyed their families, and what eventually killed them?I am talking about numbers running into millions, every month,in the identified regions.Destruction Of The World's Oldest Civilizations Getting back to the two regions as a whole, let us not forgetthat this region gave the world all the modern religions:— Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam,— Sikhism, the

Baha'i faith, and hundreds of lesser faiths.People from all over the world throng these regions to pay respectsto their messiahs and their Gods, excluding the Pope, of course.And despite all odds, these regions sustained life, created wealth,sustained a large population until the European colonialistsarrived in the early 18th Century. They destroyed the sustainabilityof this region, plundered the people and their natural resources, yearafter year. And when their empire failed, they passed the control of theseregions to the US. And what has the US government done? It hasdestroyed not only some of the greatest civilization the world hasever known; — they are destroying their own people.Dr Rosalie Bertell says,"Veterans and civilians (in these wars) WERE exposed to DU;and this inhaled DU represents a seriously enhanced riskof damaged immune systems and fatal cancers.""Those immediately downwind (will) die

quickly, in hours or days.Those further downwind will take longer."[15] Those around the worldwill eventually suffer an unimaginably painful premature death.What Can People Do?There is no time to wring one's hands.The people of this global village need to join hands in a globalpeaceful, non-violent, non-cooperation with governments that lie and kill.— Let us all form small local committees and ask(DEMAND) our governments to come clean on DU. Mobilize support to help veterans and civilians who are suffering without differentiating between race, caste, creed or religion.Tell every person connected with government, civil society, thepolice, and members of the armed forces that they are all in it up totheir neck.Finally, inform yourself, educate your family and neighbourhood;read the hundreds of authoritative papers written by

scientists.Is there any reason to fear when all of us are underdeath sentence for a crime none of us committed?If we continue to cooperate with a few homicidal maniacsit'd make them more arrogant.

They have not been ableto establish a large enough group to project what percentageof the Bahrain population is DU positive but it will be high enough.Additionally, it is a DU exposure that should have never happened.Bahrain falls within the map above and you can see in the tablehow many citizens are potentially affected just in that one nation.In the sample population that was tested, about 80% of them were

DUpositive.The implications are far greater however when you consider theAldermaston Report that detected DU spikes as far away as theUK after the bombing of Afghanistan in 2001 and Iraq in 2003.The Desert Storm matter never ended because during the 12 yearsof sanctions and No-Fly Zone, both the Clinton ­ Gore Administrationand Bush ­ Cheney Administration continued to bomb with DU weaponsand even hitting non-military targets like water treatment plants,waste sewage plants, etc to "bomb Iraq into the Stone Age",to quote Zionist Neocon Edward Luttwak.That list above of known negative health effects of being exposedto DU can be replicated almost anywhere in the United Statesby interviewing veterans of any given US Army or Marine groupand conducting the proper medical tests. These are the same typesof tests that VA either does not want to run or they do notaccurately report to the veteran patient

their true medical condition.Why?Because that would become prima facia evidenceagainst the United States government.If the US government admits to this and starts providing the appropriatetreatment they are admitting to war crimes and crimes against humanity.A single DU atom can upend the health of a human bodyand it is even uglier if that particular person is also exposedto Strontium 90, U-236, Plutonium 239 or Neptunium 239that decays back into Plutonium.All of those are man-made and only come fromthe inside of nuclear core reactions in nuclear power plants.Each of those isotopes are known to be extremely deadly andharmful to the health of anyone that comes into contact with them.Medical and scientific experts have known for years that radonis dangerous to your health, concentrates in basements,and causes lung cancer and other types of malignancies.The US government does not even pretend that radon is

not harmful.So, what is Radon?http://www.epa.gov/RadonPubs/physic.html2. What is Radon? Radon-222 is a radioactive gas released during the natural decayof thorium and uranium, which are common, naturally occurring elementsfound in varying amounts in rock and soil. Odorless, invisible,and without taste, radon cannot be detected with the human senses.Radon-222 decays into radioactive elements, two of which -- polonium-218 and polonium-214 -- emit alpha particles,which are highly effective in damaging lung tissues.These alpha-emitting radon decay products have been implicatedin a causal relationship with lung cancer in humans.Radon is created during the slow breakdown of uranium that is naturallyoccurring in the environment. It is an odorless, colorless, deadly gas.http://www.epa.gov/radon/"We know that radon is a carcinogen. This research confirmsthat breathing low levels of radon can lead to lung cancer."Now, if it is deadly as a gas in your basement, how much moredangerous and deadly is it if the decaying is happening in your body?As disclosed in the Depleted Uranium, Twenty-First Edition,uranium is a metal in the actinide class of metals and can seek outto bond with other elements to create hydrides, fluorides,chlorides, hydrides, oxides, uranates, a water-soluble formknown as uranyl, and organometallics.It is also known to have an affinity for phosphatesand can emit alpha particles within the human body— that can break both chains of the DNA— because it is "point blank" so to speak and inside of the human body.I was stunned and infuriated when doctors and nurses at Landstuhl,Germany confirmed

that they were finding DU positive soldiersand were ordered to make no written record, take blood, freeze itand the Pentagon would check back in two or three years.That folks is nothing short of criminal negligence in its sheerestdefinition..You have to stop and ponder that the leadersof the land of the free and the home of the brave— are merely a bunch of cowards and war criminalsthat refuse to face the consequences of their own actionsOur military soldiers go into service as some of the mostphysically fit people on this planet and come home chronically ill.That is a fact and that is somethingthe U.S. government does not want you to know.They would rather ignore the problem, but we say enough is enoughin the ignoring the problem to death, figuratively and literally.We are moving to use an arsenal of detoxification methodologies,internal medicine and nanotechnology at the human body leveland in a new

generation of medical devices.In a way, it will be a different type of war but this one is to savethose neglected and abandoned by our own government.Next time you see one of the D.C. twits smiling for the camerawith the troops, remember all that you have learned about DU recently.They are not great leaders; they are callous and inhumane peopleon both sides of the aisle. They are war criminals,guilty of genocide and should be viewed and treated as such.The DU, Strontium 90, U-236, Plutonium 239 and Neptunium 239that decays back into Plutonium cause the types of medicalabnormalities listed above and some that are not on that list.Even the anthrax vaccine is known to cause early onset of amyloidosisat far greater percentages than the normal adult populationand that alone is known to cause melanoma, a deadly form of cancer.They (Democrats, Republicans, defense contractors) are wreckingthe lives and health

of tens of millions of people and thereforeare not fit for leadership of this Republic. The only thing they deserveis a court, a jury, and justice handed down to them for their actions.Best regards,Karl "Our ideal is not the spirituality that withdraws from life but the conquest of life by the power of the spirit." - Aurobindo.
