Government’s secret about the war and its consequences that the government does not want you to know

AMERICAIAN WARS WERE FULLY CRIMINAL!!!




This video will show you the Government’s secret about the war and its consequences that the government does not want you to know, and that is a fact that America and Israel completely uses radioactive depleted uranium weapons.

Enriched uranium may end up in the environment through accidents in nuclear power plants


People always experience exposure to a definite amount of uranium from food, air, soil and water, as it is naturally present in all these components. Food, such as root vegetables, and water will provide us with small amounts of natural uranium and we will breathe in minimum concentrations of uranium with air. The concentrations of uranium in seafood are generally very low that they can be safely ignored.

People who live near hazardous waste sites, people who live near mines, people who work in the phosphate industry, people who eat crops grown on contaminated soil or people who drink water from a uranium waste disposal point may experience a higher exposure than other people. Uranium glazes are banned, but some artists who still use them for glasswork will experience a higher-than-usual exposure.

Because uranium is a radioactive substance health effects have been researched, Scientists had found that no harmful radiation effects of natural levels of uranium. However, chemical effects may occur after the intake of large amounts of uranium and these can cause health effects such as kidney disease.

When people are exposed to uranium radio nuclides that are formed during radioactive decay for a long period of time, they may possibly develop cancer. The chances of getting cancer are much greater when people are exposed to enriched uranium, because that is a more radioactive form of uranium. This form of uranium gives off damaging radiation, which can cause people to widen cancer within a few years. Enriched uranium may end up in the environment through accidents in nuclear power plants. Whether uranium can cause reproductive effects in people it is currently unknown.

Hard to bare that Depleted Uranium Shells can destroy 500,000 which is more severe than Nuclear Weapons


Uranium weapons, frequently called as 'depleted' uranium (DU) weapons, are manufactured from radioactive waste materials produced during the nuclear fuel chain and the production of nuclear weapons. They are the source to widespread and long lasting contamination of the environment. These weapon systems are both radio logically and chemically more toxic.
Many people - innocent civilians especially children, military soldiers, industry workers – have severe illnesses and medical problems, which may be due to their exposure to 'depleted' uranium. In areas such as southern Iraq, where uranium munitions were used by the US and the UK, there have been reports of increases in cancers, leukemia and birth defects like deformed babies.

This is really very hard to bare but still its very true that had happened , we cant recover the past still we can make a new future by banning the use of depleted uranium in war weapons. This should be taken as a serious issue and should bring to an end . No more things should be happened so, a strict law should be framed against the use of depleted uranium in war weapons.

Sad but true -- Deformed Iraqi babies caused by USA use of depleted uranium


The depleted uranium will adversely affect the children easily especially the new born babies since, children have higher absorption rate as their blood is being used to build and nourish their bones and they have a lot of soft tissues. Here the deformed Iraqi babies caused by USA use of depleted Uranium are stated.


The deformities are similar to those practiced by both Vietnam War veterans and Vietnamese mothers because of the US Military/Industrial Complex's use of the abominable chemical of mass destruction called "Agent Orange”. The Pentagon has swept all these American baby deformities and its causes under the rug.


All these cause are due to the evil people who do not care about human life but only in "MONEY". This group includes those who profit from profits in the "war weapons industry" and cronies in the Bush Administration involved in "OIL". These two groups are utilizing America’s youths as dupes; most of the soldiers in Iraq are poor and uneducated. So they are merely being utilized by the "USA ruling elite" as "cannon fodder" to protect their wealth and interests. They are being duped by making them think that they are "heroes" and "patriots" this is very sad but true!

Shocking but true – Depleted Uranium can cause multiple cancers in one person


This is a report of Dr. Jawad Al-Ali (55), director of the Oncology Center at the largest hospital in Basra, Iraq stated, at 2003 conference in Japan. Two strange phenomena have come about in Basra which was never seen before.

The first is double and triple cancers in one patient i.e., leukemia and cancer of the stomach. They had a patient with 2 cancers - one in his stomach and other is in kidney. Months later, primary cancer was developing in his another kidney too --he had three different cancer types.

The second strange phenomenon was the clustering of cancer in families. They had 58 families there with more than one person affected by cancer. Dr Yasin, a general Surgeon here has two uncles, a sister and cousin affected with cancer and Dr Mazen, another specialist, has six family members suffering from cancer. Also Dr. Jawad wife has nine members of her family with cancer.

"Children in particular are susceptible to Depleted Uranium poisoning since, they have a much higher absorption rate as their blood is being used to build and nourish their bones and they have a lot of soft tissues. Bone cancer and leukemia used to be diseases affecting the children most, however, cancer of the lymph system which can develop anywhere on the body, has rarely been seen before the age of 12 is also common”.

Toxicological Report for Uranium

This is a report related to toxicological profile succinctly characterizes the toxicological and adverse health effects information for the hazardous substance described. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a hazardous substance's toxicological properties and other relevant literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key studies.


The focus of the profile is on health and toxicological information, each profile begins with a Public Health Statement that summarizes in non-technical language and a substance's relevant properties.


This public health statement reports you about uranium and the effects of exposure. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) identifies the most severe hazardous waste sites in the nation. This EPA sites make up the National Priorities List (NPL) and are the sites targeted for long-term federal cleanup actions. Elevated uranium levels have been set up in at least 54 of the 1,517 current or former NPL sites. However, the total number of NPL sites evaluated for this substance is unknown. As more sites are evaluated, the sites at which uranium is found may increase and this information is important because exposure to this substance may harm you and because these sites may be sources of exposure.

Effects of Uranium over Human & the Environment


Uranium effects over Environments are :


Uranium is already naturally present throughout the environment. Human activities, wind, streams, and volcanoes can move the uranium around and vary the levels that you are exposed to. Where Uranium found in soil it might stay for billions of years.


In air Uranium exists as dust and the dust settles onto surface water, soil, and plants. Uranium easily enters water by dissolving soil, eroding soil and rocks, or in releases from processing plants. Huge particles settle into the bottom of lakes, rivers, and ponds and join with natural uranium Some plants may take in uranium or it may stick to the root surface.


Possible ways for Humans exposed to Uranium are:

  • Inhaling of air or drinking water in a place that has higher than background levels of uranium.
  • Taking food substances grown in areas with higher than background levels of uranium.
  • Working in factories that process uranium or with phosphate fertilizers, or living near any kind of mine or living near a coal-fired power plant.


URANIUM DECAYS INTO RADIUM MAY CAUSE CANCER

In general all uranium mixtures (natural, exhausted, and enriched) have the same chemical effect on your body. Huge amounts of uranium can react with the tissues in your body and damage your kidneys. This radiation damage from exposure to high levels of natural or exhausted uranium is not known to cause cancer.

Humans and animals exposed to high levels of uranium do not have higher cancer rates. The Committee on the Biological Effects of Ionizing Radiation (BEIR IV) reported that consumption of food or drinking water that has normal amounts of uranium will most likely not
cause cancer.

Uranium can decay into other radioactive substances, such as radium, which can cause cancer if you are exposed to enough of them for a long sufficient period of time. Studies have reported that the lung and other cancers in uranium miners; however, the miners also smoked and were exposed to other substances that cause cancer, such as radon and silica dust.
