Your government is killing you and your loved ones

by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News      November 20, 2007

I have written about so called "Depleted Uranium" on Unknown News before and am commenting now be-
cause some salient aspects of the problem are not addressed in this soft soap coverage of the findings
at the site of this abandoned weapons factory, the surrounding area and in the bodies of residents and former workers.

This should not be news. It is only news because our depraved leadership has effectively suppressed the facts involved with nuclear weapons manufacture and use.

No-one likes to think that people who have power over us are depraved. But the evidence that this is true is incontrovertible. Mass murder of civilians in illegal wars? Continuing threats of use of explosive nuclear weapons? Large scale, well organized programs of extra-judicial executions, torture that would have made the Inquisition jealous, obstruction of efforts to do something about the causes of catastrophic climate change that are already killing people in the thousands and promise yields in the billions of deaths of humans and countless extinctions of other animals; does these outrages convince you of the abject depravity of the leadership that guides this sort of activity? No?

What about killing you and your loved ones? Causing
 
'Safe' uranium leaves
New York town contaminated


Excerpt: ... The US federal government and the firm that ran the factory, National Lead (NL) Industries, have been assuring former workers and residents around the 18-acre site for decades that, although it is true that the plant used to produce unacceptable levels of radioactive pollution, it was not a serious health hazard.

Now, in a development with potentially devastating implications not only for Colonie but also for the future use of some of the West's most powerful weapon systems, that claim is being challenged. In a paper to be published in the next issue of the scientific journal Science of the Total Environment, a team led by Professor Randall Parrish of Leicester University reports the results of a three-year study of Colonie, funded by Britain's Ministry of Defense. ...
horrible cancers and birth defects in your family? How about causing spontaneous abortions? You would think that the "right to life" group would be concerned. No matter who you are, you breathe. If you breathe you will eventually inhale these particles and many of you will suffer and die.

Well, all of the above is true. When uranium burns, as described in the article, it does not (as implied in the coverage) conveniently stay put. These ultra-fine particles are raised into the atmosphere and spread throughout the world. You and your family are participating in a turkey shoot where you are the turkeys
 
and the people using uranium as convenient weapons are the shooters.

You would think that people would be motivated by these facts to go out and string up some of these depraved militarists and put a stop to this indiscriminate mass murder. Even if we managed to stop them now, countless victims will be harvested by these criminals in the millions of years that these nanoparticles of uranium continue to circulate and deliver ionizing radiation deep in peoples bodies.

If we don't succeed in stopping them, we will see this murderous outrage spread, perhaps to a point where action becomes a moot issue as humanity melts away from the consequences of its failure to prevent its own murder by a violently insane leadership. If we don't try, we will deserve our fate.
