Iraq: Depleted Uranium aka Baghdad Boils?!

 

jouna, iraq-war.ru

 

 

 

December 23, 2005

 

There’s a possibility that the US Department of Defense (DoD) is hiding the

US casualties under a disguise of 'Baghdad Boils’, a disease plaguing the US

troops in Iraq, claimed to be caused by the sand fly bites, but possibly by

depleted uranium (DU) radiation. To explore this issue I’ve forwarded the

following article to DU experts in the world to have it checked and I’m now

publishing it as a preliminary announcement here in iraq-war.ru. I’ll keep

you

updated on this as soon as I hear of them (if confirmed you can’t miss the

fat

mainstream headlining).

 

 

 

DEPLETED URANIUM

 

Recent evidence proves that depleted uranium (DU) is the definite cause of

Gulf War Syndrome. Fourteen years after its introduction, DU has revealed as a

death sentence, lately brought forth by Leuren Moret (cf. e.g.

_http://www.sfbayview.com/081804/Depleteduranium081804.shtml _

(http://www.sfbayview.com/081804/Depleteduranium081804.shtml) and the sources to

this article).

 

The biological particulate effect targets the Master Code in the DNA and

causes numerous diseases difficult to define, but in effect devastating the

human body for example with multiple malignancies and developing cancers. Out

of

580,400 soldiers in first Gulf War, 11 thousand have died and already by 2000

there were 325,000 permanently disabled, the number increasing by 43,000

every year.

 

Besides, DU has internally contaminated their sexual partners, who have

developed endometriosis and have been forced to have hysteroctomies due to

health

problems. 67 percent of a test group of 251 soldiers have had babies with

severe birth defects (missing members, organs, immune system diseases).

 

The United States has deliberately developed the DU in order to utilize the

deadly properties of the DU and contaminated not only 42 states in United

States, Sinai in Yom Kippur war (1973), Yugoslavia, southern Iraq (and areas

nearby) in the first Gulf War and from 2003 on again in Iraq.

 

One of the reasons that the US deploys it allies in the southern parts of

the Iraq, because it does not want to expose its own troops to the deadly

radiation there from the first Gulf War. Thus the British, and the other

coalition

troops have been generously given the responsibility of the southern Iraq.

 

 

BAGHDAD BOIL

 

In a story 'Skin ulcers plague men from N.C. unit’ (cf.

_http://www.charlotte.com/mld/observer/news/local/13454217.ht

m _ (http://www.charlotte.com/mld/observer/news/local/13454217.htm) ) we are

told:

 

" In addition to the combat casualties suffered during a tour of duty in Iraq

last year, an N.C. National Guard brigade also had to medevac 13 men back to

a U.S. hospital after volleyball games left them vulnerable to one of the

Iraq war's most exotic hazards – an outbreak of skin ulcers that can grow for

years.

The victims, all men from the same small unit, contracted cutaneous

leishmaniasis, characterized by weeping sores that refuse to heal, said Lt. Col

Tim

Mauldin, the brigade's top medical officer.

The illness is nicknamed " Baghdad Boil. " At the time the guardsmen

contracted it last year, the only way to treat it was to fly them back to

Walter Reed

Army Medical Center for up to three weeks of intravenous treatments with a

drug called Pentostam "

 

Using Pentostam in the treatment of sand fly bite is most curious for two

main reasons:

 

(1) One is tempted to suspect the US diagnosis, because for leishmaniasis,

phlebotomus argentipes (also known as Kala-azar), a disease indeed caused by

the bite of sand fly, there is a new, oral drug (Miltefosine( is now

available. The medicine is effective (cf.

_http://www.who.int/tdr/diseases/leish/press_release.htm _

(http://www.who.int/tdr/diseases/leish/press_release.htm) ),

which makes the US use of sodium stibogluconate (commercial names: Pentostam

or Stibanate) instead very curious, until we read the comment of Lt. Col Tim

Mauldin concerning the sores (rather: 'malignancies’) known as Baghdad Boils:

" No matter what you do, it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. " )

 

(2) Pentostam is administered into veins and " results in a greater than 50%

decrease in parasite DNA, RNA protein and purine nucleoside triphosphate

levels " (cf. _http://emc.medicines.org.uk/emc/assets/c/html/displaydoc.asp

?documentid=2182, _

(http://emc.medicines.org.uk/emc/assets/c/html/displaydoc.asp?documentid=2182,)

section 5, Pharmacological properties ). It is not

immediately obvious how the bites of tiny sandflies could cause changes in the

Master Code in the DNA?

 

(3) Although the sand flies are unlikely cause for the Baghdad Boils, we can

seek a different, more natural explanation for the disease is from the the

unit itself, to which all thirteen man belong. The 30th Enhanced Heavy

Separate Brigade (Mech), " Old Hickory " , has one battalion of M-1 Abrams Main

Battle

Tanks and two battalions of M-2 Bradley Fighting Vehicles (cf.

_http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/army/30in-bde.

htm _ (http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/agency/army/30in-bde.htm) ).

The main weapon of the M1A1 is the M256 120mm smoothbore cannon, designed by

the Rheinmetall Corporation of Germany. Engagement ranges approaching 4000

meters were successfully demonstrated during Operation Desert Storm. The

primary armor-defeating ammunition of this weapon is the armor-piercing,

fin-stabilized, discarding sabot (APDS-FS) round, which features a depleted

uranium

penetrators (cf. _http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m1.htm _

(http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/land/m1.htm) ).

On the other hand, we know already from the first Gulf War that: " Soldiers

who served in Bradley fighting vehicles, where it was common to sit on

ammunition boxes where depleted uranium ammunition was stored, are now

reporting

that many have rectal cancer. "

 

 

CONSEQUENCES:

 

Having recognized the previous facts we are left with the following

consequences:

 

(1) Depleted uranium explains the changes in the Master Code in the DNA

caused by Baghdad Boils much better than the 'sand flies’ (if the sand flies

are

not simply considered as an army code word for 'uranium particles’ or

alike). In fact, the diagnosis of Baghdad Boils as 'leishmaniasis’ put forth

in

several connections by Dr. Roger Bate is itself highly suspicious as Dr. Bate

is

a visiting fellow at American Enterprise Institute, a front for

international armed looting around the world.

 

(2) As the United States treats the cancer developing multiple malignancies

of its tank crews with Pentostam (and not Miltefosine), this shows that the

US Armed Forces and the Pentagon are indeed aware of the effects of the

depleted uranium, which again shows that they are lying in their denials of its

cancer-producing effect, thus giving a direct answer to " QUESTION 11. WHAT DOES

THE U.S. GOVT. KNOW ABOUT DU? "

in _http://traprockpeace.org/moret_25nov03.pdf. _

(http://traprockpeace.org/moret_25nov03.pdf.) They know everything, even how to

slow down the mutations

caused by DU.

 

(3) More than 2000 U.S. service members have officially contracted the

disease since the Iraq War began in early 2003, most of them in Iraq (though

some

also in Afghanistan). When these 'walking dead’ are added to the current DoD

casualty figure (2160) as soon to be dead, the US death toll tops 4,000 with

a single jump. The entire US colonial expeditionary force, the 300,000

having served in Iraq are soon to be counted as US Casualties, either dead or

disabled by DU.

 

(4) As the depleted uranium penetrators are the main rounds of the US M1A1

tanks, and the extra rounds for the tanks are carried in the M2 Bradleys,

there is no doubt, that after 1000 days of war, the entire US armored equipment

in Iraq is totally contaminated making these vehicles literarily dead man’s

chests. Actually the US tank crews are more safe outside than inside of them,

despite the current conditions in Iraq.

 

(5) As the US Armed Forces in Iraq are actually living dead, a zombie army

soon to follow the destiny of the previous army in the First Gulf War and

their Armored Vehiles hopelessly contaminated by DU, the US army actually has

no

troops nor tanks. This means that its fate is sealed. The United States has

lost the war in Iraq as soon as the troops get the information of how they are

and have been deceived by an enemy worse than that they face in Iraq, the US

government.

 

(6) Despite of this we may have even more to worry: in her recent articles

Leuren Moret tell that the US has used more DU since 1991 than the atomicity

equivalent of 40,000 Nagasagi Bombs, making four nuclear wars together. This,

according to her may be enough for a death sentence for all of us, who will

die in silent ways. To prevent this from happening we must not listen to Mr.

Bush, who claims that the future generations will be grateful for sacrifices

in Iraq (cf. _http://www.denverpost.com/nationworld/ci_3331907 _

(http://www.denverpost.com/nationworld/ci_3331907) ). The current deception of

the US

solders themselves by the US Government could not make the issue more clear: no

matter whether you are friend or foe, there is nobody the Government of the

United States wouldn’t betray. To stop them all you have to do is pass this

story to the US combat troops in Iraq. Explaining them what exactly stepping

into

US tanks means, will leave them unmanned. This in turn will stop the

armoured brigades, which in turn stops the US divisions and armies – and in

the end

the US government war. As soon as the war is stopped, the entire human kind

must step in and help the Iraqi people to clean the country from the depleted

uranium.

 

I’m most thankful for your assistance in this already.
