The Perfunctory Dismissal of Depleted Uranium

Nobody Reports:

There is so much that is not being reported on your mainstream news, I thought I’d flash this. Last night, on Coast to Coast, Dr. Doug Rokke, was telling George Noory the host, that over half of our American soldiers from the first Gulf War, and Iraq Freedom, were suffering from the effects of being exposed to radiation from Depleted Uranium (DU)

He was the doctor/expert in charge during the Gulf war of cleaning this stuff up, and almost all of his colleagus that worked with him, died painful cancer deaths. He’s still alive, but suffering badly. He said that over 40,000 vets had Leukemia. He also was very upset that they are not being treated but ignored. In other words: a big cover-up.

Now, when watching the above training film and the editing that was done over it, I’m not sure if it was a political ploy to damn conservatives, I’m also suspect placing  “blame” since it’s very easy to blame ONE guy. The editor blames Ronald Reagan for using DU’s in the first place.

Nevertheless, let’s say Ronald Reagan did know about them, and granted permission to use them, and if this information is true, since statistics for the average citizen are hard to find, none of the Presidents since then, have stopped it. I don’t think DU’s are used in he Navy because of the fact that the stuff would be on board the ships, so they DO know the side effects.

Maybe the Presidents were not informed of the dangers to our soldiers, but that’s another blog.

Only the people who have come back from the wars and their families can speak out about this, but I post it as just another example of our government not giving a damn about its citizens.

Nobody Wonders if that’s why George W. Bush gets all teary eyed every time he visits the soldiers. 

 I am posting the full summary from the Coast to Coast email here.

On Tuesday’s show, registered nurse and talk show host, Joyce Riley, discussed the epidemic of violent & murderous episodes involving Gulf War vets, who have typically not found adequate support from the government. Dr. Doug Rokke, a retired Major of the U.S. Army also joined the conversation. Rokke created a U.S. Army Depleted Uranium (DU) Training film, but the DoD failed to ever show his video because of the severity of consequences from DU. A multitude of weapons contribute to DU, including bunker buster bombs, cruise missiles, cluster bombs, and tank & aircraft rounds, he stated. Symptoms from exposure include skin rashes, chronic fatigue, mood swings, memory loss, immune dysfunction, abdominal pain, and blurred vision, he detailed, adding that war zones have become thoroughly contaminated.

In addition to DU, battle fatigue, exposure to experimental vaccines, and toxic environments all contribute to an alarming level of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) and physical/psychological illnesses suffered by vets, Riley reported. The VA fields an astonishing 450 suicides calls a day, and out of 600,000 troops who served in Desert Storm, over 300,000 have serious medical problems, she cited. Regarding such cases, “these are people who had something happen to their brains, their bodies; they come back and then they are kicked to the side of the curb, and told,’gee, we don’t see anything wrong with you, and then they’re out of the military,’ she lamented. In addition to high suicide rates, vets with PTSD have killed family members, and afterward report that they were in a fog, and have no memory of committing murders. The VA often gives PTSD sufferer antipsychotic or SSRI drugs, which she believes ends up accelerating their levels of aggression and problematic behaviors.

The radio show is on late at night, and even though some of the guests and subjects are completely bonkers and just meant to be fun: like the existence of Vampires for instance, Noory has been in the front lines for what you don’t ever hear in the mainstream media. My guess is they don’t find him a threat because his show starts at midnight. Most everyone is asleep.

Having said that…if you do an image search for what DU’s do to the babies of Iraq, you will wonder why in the world did George W. Bush take so much precaution to bomb so carefully the city of Baghdad, when the future generations of many Iraq babies would be exposed to radiation.

DU really is a WMD. God…I HATE finding this stuff out, but as Americans, they should be telling us all this stuff.
