Tsunami Radiation Sickness Raises Suspicions

 

Suddenly, thousands of people in several East African countries and

of the Arabian Peninsula have begun to fall sick with what the

United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP) says is radiation

sickness brought on by the tsunami.

 

Men, women, and chilren of all ages are experiencing the horrible

woes of nuclear aftermath, including sudden ear, nose, and mouth

bleeds, internal hemorrhages and other symptoms of radiation

sickness, according to a UNEP report named " After the Tsunami: Rapid

Environmental Assessment " , released in March. Hundreds of villages

and towns in the Horn of Africa dependant on well water are now

without a source of potable water due to contamination caused by

radioactive material surfacing in water tables. Widespread cancer

now threatens millions more in the region. Radioactive clouds

drifting westward have already been reported.

 

 

 

Foreign news sources, including several major news agencies, have

since covered the ongoing investigation. At the same time, former US

President Bill Clinton is the UN United Nations Special Envoy for

Tsunami Recovery. The US State Department only offered a briefing on

a possible nuclear culprit to a Pakistani newspaper in January of

this year.

 

There has been no US media coverage of tsunami radiation sickness.

 

 

The US has reason to prevent media coverage of radioactive fallout

back home, now that the international community has begun to suspect

foul play by the greatest world power, especially after declassified

military secrets of the US and British militaries are revived. The

declassified reports, offering a detailed chronology of US and

Britain 'tsunami bomb' testing conducted off the coast of New

Zealand, were intitially released in 2000.

 

 

 

Five days after the tsunami, Jan Egeland, UN Undersecretary General

for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator,

emphatically stated his desire " to put a stop to those rumors now "

that the Sumatra-Andaman undersea earthquake was caused by

nuclear " tests " in the Indian Ocean practiced for many years since

World War II by world nuclear powers.

 

On January 9th, the US State Department then offered its views on

the subject through Todd Leventhal, its Chief of Counter-

Misinformation in a briefing to the Daily Times of Pakistan, saying

that its undersea nuclear tests had never caused any " significant "

tsunamis in the region, quoting from a January 6 fact sheet by the

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In the same

document, NOAA admits that " tsunami waves can also be generated from

very large nuclear explosions. "

The State Department also chose to downplay the significance of the

quake, citing a January 5th change in seismic evaluations of the

quake, the Daily wrote.

 

 

Leventhal reiterated that the quake stemmed from natural

processes " as they have for millions of years. "

 

In the briefing, he did not offer a scientific disclaimer, turning

to ridicule instead to defend his government and failed to admit

reason for suspision since the US and Britain has been

testing 'tsunami bombs' in the area, as cited in the 1945 British

mililtary document: the comments amounted to little more than a play

on words and denial of scientific data.

In addition, it is evident that scientists at the Pacific Tsunami

Warning Center (PTWC) in Hawaii were under obvious pressure by the

US Department of Defence when they lowered their calculations of the

undersea earthquake from magnitude 9.0 to 8.0, a revision that has

since been overturned. A magnitude 8.0 is only one-tenth as severe

as a magnitude 9.0 earthquake, according to the US Geological

Survey. The US Counter-Misinformation Department has not offered

further comment since.

 

In February, scientists reevaluated the Sumatra-Andaman earthquake

as being between magnitude 9.1- 9.3, if not more severe.

In May, they also declared the quake as the longest ever recorded,

CNN reported, lasting 10 minutes. Earthquakes are widely known to

last only a few seconds on average.

 

Many who were at first skeptical of an atomic culprit began to

suggest that the ocean as well as impacted areas be tested to verify

claims of a nuclear explosion, as evidence of an atomic blast is

hard to conceal: radioactive fallout would begin to surface

undoubtedly.

 

Radioactive fallout is now surfacing even in unimpacted areas,

coming into contact with humans by means of water wells and

radioactive clouds. In Yemen, unnamed government sources initially

blamed illegal nuclear dumping in the Red Sea " after the December

26, 2004 tsunami " as responsible for the presence of radioactivity

now washing up in unlikely places.

 

Now anger is stirred because the US media is refusing to

publicize reports of radiation sickness now widespread and a very

serious threat to the rest of the region, notwithstanding

repercussions within the already fragile global ecology. Many heath

workers are referring to the fallout as an " African Chernobyl. "

 

There can only be one reason why news of such magnitude could be

supressed.
