Depleted Uranium - US Lung Cancer Rates Soar

So, what is the plan?

 

On the March 8, 2006 edition of the CNN American Morning program with

Miles O'Brien and Soledad O'Brien, they made a startling announcement.

On average there are 175,000 new cases of lung cancer each year in

the United States. For just the months of January and February 2006

there are 172,000 confirmed, newly diagnosed cases of lung cancer.

This is not just a little spike on the charts and much worse news is

coming. That is already averaging this year about 6 times the normal

incidence of new lung cancer cases in a year.

 

They tried to attribute it to second hand smoke, but second hand smoke

and cigarettes are nothing compared to being exposed to Depleted

Uranium ( " DU " ) and particulates created by DU explosions. You can

smoke for 30 years and not do the damage that DU can do to you in 30 days.

 

How long does it take to get lung cancer after being exposed to DU and

nano-particulates? On average 2-5 years is the correct answer. We

started bombing Afghanistan in October 2001 or four and a half years

ago. We started bombing Iraq again in March 2003, or just shy of

three years ago.

 

The effects of those bombing attacks were registered as far away as

the UK according to the Aldermaston Report we and others released

February 19, 2006. We do not know yet what was registered in the U.S.

because the U.S. government is not saying and they definitely do not

want you to know.

 

The link between DU exposure and lung cancer has been known for many

years. The correlation between DU and lung cancer versus cigarettes

and lung cancer is even stronger for DU.

 

They are making plans right now to bomb Iran, even knowing full well

that they will be spreading more nuclear pollution.

 

Here are the action items that need to happen:

 

1. MEDICAL INTERVENTION INSTEAD OF MEDICAL NEGLECT. We (Patmos

Nanotechnologies, LLC) are in discussions with multiple parties to

quickly address the medical treatment needs of the veterans that have

been exposed to DU and derivative nano-particulates. That will

require a lab unlike any medical lab in the United States due to what

it is testing for and developing treatment regimens.

 

We will be putting out a call to raise funds to provide the needed

travel, lodging and treatment for the veterans. Since Patmos is

already aligned with a hospital and a group of doctors, and several

key players in the heavy metal detoxification area, our emphasis on

biotech will be re-shifted to be one of addressing the sheer medical

needs of the veterans including treatment for heavy metal toxicity, DU

detoxification and developing a wide range of options to deal with the

many problems the troops are having. If the US government will not do

it, we shall and we shall be asking Americans to do the right thing

and help out.

 

We are also establishing a DU Detoxification Center in the Atlanta

area and will be expediting the treatment to veterans that our

military is trying to avoid. Lives are at stake as well as quality of

life. What got my attention focused on this matter is how many of our

young healthy soldiers come home and are fundamentally fully disabled

and the government ignoring that for to do otherwise would be an

admission of guilt and creating a paper trail of evidence that leads

up to and includes criminal conduct. This is not just a civil matter.

 

We might have to create an ADOPT A VETERAN program where families with

means are helping to pay for the medical needs of these soldiers. The

Red Cross raised over $1 billion for the tsunami victims and their

plight pales in comparison to this DU contamination catastrophe.

Americans sent hundreds of millions for the tsunami relief fund and it

is now time to make some of that American giving count here at home

for Americans.

 

Many of our troops need our help. If they do not receive help, many

will spend the rest of their lives disabled or will die much sooner

than God had intended.

 

Where they do not have the financial means, we are going to ask

Americans to make it happen.

 

If you can provide funds in general or sponsor a specific veteran for

the treatments, you may be saving their life and ultimately your own.

 

We already have contingency plans that if the U.S. government tries to

bar us from treating the soldiers they are intentionally neglecting,

for fear of creating an evidence trail, there are several places

offshore where the treatments will be offered and the logistics to get

it done.

 

The team we are assembling includes a hospital, specialist doctors, a

new biotech center Patmos will build, firms that have detoxification

treatments already that are proving to be very effective, and a lab

that can detect not only molecules but nano-particulates too. This DU

problem will require the services of laboratories, the medical

specialties of endocrinology, internal medicine, neurology, urology,

gastroenterology, oncology, and others.

 

Most of all, Patmos has already developed several technologies that

may prove to be very useful in addressing what has been done to our

soldiers and all of us. We are tired of talking about it and waiting

in vain for Washington, DC to do something right for a change. It is

time for action.

 

As some say, it is lead, follow or get the Hell out of the way time.

 

2. LEGAL ACTION. Our government knows DU is deadly and harmful

to the troops and other populations, but they do it any way and they

keep right on doing it any time they see fit. They knew it in 1989

and have continued to deploy troops four times in major engagements

and have continued to fire these weapons on US bases around general

civilian populations.

 

The answer to that is a Class Action Lawsuit aimed right at the

problem. We are soliciting attorneys at this time to assemble a team

and address this matter in the courts. It would sort of be The

Citizens of the United States, Active Duty and Veterans of the US

Armed Services v. The United States Government, certain Defense

Contractors, Certain Individuals. My guess is the true price tag for

their criminal negligence could easily top $1 trillion in damages the

Plaintiffs should be entitled to.

 

When the whole truth, nothing but the truth is known about this matter

­ America is in for a very rude awakening. You will not want to watch

Shock and Awe on TV when you find out to what extent it has been

delivered into your life.

 

This DU issue makes asbestos pale in comparison.

 

The figure does not even scratch the surface on what it will cost to

even attempt to clean up the mess they have made in targeted countries

like Iraq, Bosnia, Afghanistan and the collateral damage of harming

general populations many miles away. Turning another nation and this

nation into a nuclear waste dump is not a no harm, no foul situation.

 

Army Regulation 700-48 requires mitigation of nuclear waste from these

weapons when used, and they just conveniently ignore that and keep

right on polluting. In short, they are required to put into effect

environmental remediation and medical treatment for those parties

exposed and they just never seem to find time to obey the law.

 

The nations of Italy, Bulgaria, Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, Canada, and

many others are seeing the health problems in their soldiers and

civilian workers that entered into these nuclear waste zones.

 

Bahrain is about 500 miles from Iraq at its closest point and recent

information from there shows that a high percentage of Bahraini

citizens and US soldiers stationed there are highly exposed to DU.

The UK towers at Aldermaston reported DU spikes shortly after the

bombing was done many miles away in Afghanistan and Iraq.

 

The harmed parties within this nation alone are our soldiers and US

citizens. The defendants have tried for years to cover this up or

ignore it. We are going to put out a call and a website to collect

donations for the war chest that will be needed to fight this lawsuit

through to completion. It will take many millions of dollars to wage

what might be the most important legal battle of our time and the

defendants have billions of dollars to defend themselves. They will

spend whatever it takes to win because a defeat would be the ruin of them.

 

What they cannot hide is the truth but they will resist the truth from

ever becoming generally known. The truth will not set them free nor

will the truth do anything but deliver back to them the same impunity

with which they have treated millions of people.

 

Many have already died; many more will die while this problem

continues to be ignored by Washington, DC. It is time to make them

stop ignoring it.

 

If you can donate to the Lawsuit Fund, please send me an email with

contact information.

 

3. ALL DEFENDANTS WILL BE NAMED. It is quite apparent that the

governments of the US and UK, their militaries, the elected officials

and the defense contractors have a long list of target countries and

they all share one thing in common ­ they either have oil and natural

gas or they have the land for oil and gas pipelines to get the oil to

ocean ports and distributed around the world.

 

These policies that have so many Americans concerned are driven by Big

Defense and Big Oil ­ so Big Oil and its influence in making these

idiotic policies would be targeted too. Even 9-11 was a staged show

for Americans so they would support these war policies.

 

There is no Global War on Terror except this nation being the world's

greatest terrorist for oil, military supremacy and petrodollar

supremacy. Gore Vidal said it best in an interview I saw and I am

paraphrasing here ­ " there is no Global War on Terror. That is

nonsense, it is just rhetoric. They might as well declare a Global

War on Dandruff " .

 

4. ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING. We are going to deploy our own army

to take soil, water, plant life and air samples around all US

facilities where these weapons are made, fired, stored, and generally

used. We will also be putting teams in place to take soil and water

samples, as well as meeting with affected parties in Bosnia,

Afghanistan and Iraq.

 

One of our affiliates has just uncovered a massive amount of DU

exposure and confirmed human cases in Bahrain. The Aldermaston Report

is confirmed at least for Bahrain in that this deadly stuff does in

fact spread out to large areas. It has been detected in the UK and it

has been confirmed in Bahrain. How confirmed? A very high percentage

of the people tested in Bahrain are floating in DU contamination and

it is being detected in their urine samples so it is internal, not

just laying around on the sand.

 

We have preliminary indications that deaths as far away as Denmark

might have happened while this dirty little secret is being hidden

from the world. It is not hard to find US or UK or coalition troops

that went and became so sick they no longer have a quality of life.

It is also not hard to find many that have died while being neglected

by the governments that did it.

 

We have contacted many of the purported environmentally concerned

groups and none of them have responded. It is growing more apparent

that they have an agenda that is not totally about clean air, clean

water, and healthy environment.

 

This environmental testing will include randomly buying food around

the US and having it put under very exacting testing regimens to

determine to what extent this toxicity is in our food chain. We have

a pretty good idea of what will be found and it is not a pretty picture.

 

Over the coming months our medical affiliates and our company will be

announcing some things that are nanotechnology based (or combine

nanotechnology with existing treatments) and will be directed at

addressing this DU and nano-particulate contamination problem. Due to

the wall of harassment we have received we will be making these

products outside of the United States as well as an entire new

generation of medical machines.

 

The DU contamination is present, it is real and people need to start

working in unison to address the problem. This DU issue is a nuclear

contamination calamity and DC intends to do nothing about it.

 

5. STATE LEVEL ACTION Every state that has had either

National Guard or citizens called up as Reserves or sent as active

duty troops should be moving to implement mandatory DU testing laws.

If nothing else, either be a squeaky wheel or build an eight foot fire

under those bureaucratic butts. The states of Connecticut and

Louisiana have implemented such laws. New York has a bill in motion

as well as about 11 or 12 other states. Bottom line is all 50 states

need to do what is right for the citizens of their states and put such

mandatory DU testing laws in place.

 

I think we have provided you with enough information to establish why

they are covering this up. Most criminals do cover up their conduct

if possible.

 

Every US soldier or soldier of a foreign nation that we treat is yet

another piece of evidence. That chain of evidence will not only prove

what was done to them, it will prove what has been done to many

Americans that have never left the United States yet have been exposed

enough to ruin their health or kill them.

 

If you know veterans in your area, or if you know some of the state

level elected officials, please contact them and urge them to start

the process of putting mandatory DU testing in place.

 

6. FEDERAL LEVEL ACTION There is a move in the US House

to make the US government take care of the veterans. Watch them make

this go away as fast as the Republican majority can and even many of

the Democrats since the full expose on this would implicate Clinton,

Gore and many Democrats in Congress.

 

HOUSE DEMS CALL FOR VETS CARE TO BE INCLUDED IN IRAQ SUPPLEMENTAL

 

" Providing for Veterans Is Continuing Cost of War "

 

Tuesday March 7, 2006

 

Contact: Nayyera Haq (Salazar) 202.225.3319

WASHINGTON, DC ­ Led by their most junior and senior Members on the

House Veterans' Affairs Committee, Congressman John Salazar (D-CO) and

Congressman Lane Evans (D-IL), House Democrats today moved to prevent

a repeat of last year's shameful shortfall in funding for the

Department of Veterans' Affairs. In a letter sent to Speaker Hastert

this morning, more than 120 House Democrats called for the inclusion

of $630 million in veterans' health care funds as part of the

President's $72.4 billion Iraq War Supplemental request:

 

" We believe that providing for our military veterans and their

families is a continuing cost of war and an important component of our

national defense. We are concerned that the Administration may have

once again underestimated the total number of veterans that will seek

services at the VA, including new veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan

wars. Mr. Speaker, we strongly urge you to correct the

Administration's oversight and recognize that caring for our veterans

is an ongoing cost of war. "

 

Said Salazar: " With the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, we've created a

whole new generation of veterans who need our care. We cannot have a

repeat of last year's shameful budget shortfall. It is time for us to

be honest in our budgeting and recognize the urgency of providing full

funding for veterans health care. Our troops bravely put their lives

on the line and it is our moral duty to provide them with the care and

benefits they were promised. "

 

The complete text of the letter and the full list of signatories follows:

 

Honorable Dennis Hastert

Speaker

U.S. House of Representatives

Washington, DC 20515

 

Dear Mr. Speaker:

 

We believe that providing for our military veterans and

their families is a continuing cost of war and an important component

of our national defense. We simply have no excuse for not meeting

their needs. For some, it easy to forget that budgets and numbers

ultimately reflect our priorities and affect real people. Indeed, by

failing to include any money for veterans' health care and

readjustment services in the $72.4 billion emergency war supplemental

request, the Administration again has failed to acknowledge the added

stress and resource demands the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are

placing on the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Accordingly, we

respectfully request that you work with the Appropriations Committee

to provide additional resources for the VA within the emergency war

supplemental.

 

We believe that at least $630 million is urgently needed

to care for troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as the

heroes from prior conflicts who rely upon the VA for their health

care. Specifically, we are seeking $250 million to support increased

demand for mental health services for returning troops; $200 million

for direct medical services, including treating traumatic brain injury

and other complex blast injuries, and additional resources for the

VA's Polytrauma Rehabilitation Centers; $110 million for increased

demand for VA prosthetics; $15 million for medical and vocational

rehabilitation services; and $55 million for increased staff to

process the growing disability claims backlog of more than 370,000,

including claims homeless disabled veterans of the Iraq and

Afghanistan wars who are waiting months for decisions.

 

Mr. Speaker, last year, we saw the VA face disgraceful

shortfalls in its health care budget, shortfalls that had a direct

impact upon the care received by veterans. Ultimately, the

Administration begrudgingly admitted these shortfalls and was forced

to request additional resources. We are concerned that the

Administration may have once again underestimated the total number of

veterans that will seek services at the VA, including new veterans of

the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Mr. Speaker, we strongly urge you to

correct the Administration's oversight and recognize that caring for

our veterans is an ongoing cost of war.

 

Sincerely,

 

John Salazar

 

Now that you have read this information about VA funding and

Democrats' concern, note that there is not a single word about

addressing the Depleted Uranium calamity. They know and they are

terrified on both sides of the aisle of a paper trail of evidence

being created.

 

Remember, this is an election year and they are more concerned about

votes and breaking up the Republican monopoly than they are the

veterans suffering. It is all about power and money and greed, not

about lives and quality of life.

 

You see, I wonder at times why Washington, DC is so callous about the

elderly, Medicare, Social Security, the veterans and their health

needs, which would not be necessary if this nation had not put them

into nuclear waste dumps. The answer is growing clearer to me every

day ­ they know and if we die their problems go away.

 

They really could not care less in Washington, DC if you live or die.

You are a constituent and that makes you a present and long term

liability to our leaders, not an asset. They constantly wrestle with

the quandary of how to feign doing right for you and how they have to

do right for their wealthy contributors and direct the wealth to them.

It is a very steady shift of federal funds from those that do not

need it and away from those that need it the most.

 

Illegal aliens are flooding into this country and getting better

treatment than our veterans.

 

That is their version of Problem-Reaction-Solution. I trust you find

mine more to your liking.

 

Best regards,

 

Karl
