"Onze Jongens in Iraq" Oorlog & Kanker?
Henk Ruyssenaars - 22.08.2004 21:24

Dit geldt dus ook voor nederlandse soldaten in Iraq:
"In a group of 251 soldiers from a study group in Mississippi who had all had normal babies before the Gulf War, 67 percent of their post-war babies were born with severe birth defects."

ANYBODY WHO LIKES WAR OR CANCER ?

by Henk Ruyssenaars

Depleted uranium and the equivalent of 400,000 Nagasaki bombs

FPF - Aug. - 2004 - Japanese professor Dr. K. Yagasaki* has calculated that 800 tons of the depleted uranium bombs used at present but also in the first Gulf War, is the atomically equivalent of 83,000 Nagasaki bombs.

According to investigations, the U.S. has used more DU since 1991, than the atomically equivalent of 400,000 Nagasaki bombs, professor Yagasaki is pointing out: "four (4) nuclear wars indeed, and 10 times the amount of radiation released into the atmosphere from atmospheric testing!"

How fall-out works in reality, I found out as a correspondent, being one of the first to report (for years to come) from Stockholm, Sweden, on the Chernobyl disaster in 1986.

I then really found out what "Silent Spring" was all
about.

And I've never forgotten the warnings about nuclear radiation [  http://tinyurl.com/4vpsw by Rachel Carson ] and I've heard 'the silence of her spring' in Sweden already. That's why...

But the dirt from Chernobyl also reached Hawaii and the top of the Himalayas...

So: Are we all "Beached" ?

I do understand, that not many of the people able to read this, may have seen the movie "On the Beach", made in 1959 by Stanley Kramer, which is a pity.

Why? Because if you had seen it, like I did long ago, it would be much easier to understand what's happening to you, me, all the sick soldiers - of every nationality - which are forced to fight for an economical lost cause, the world in general, and what the reason is why so many die unnecessarily.

In the movie "On the Beach" the nuclear disaster already has struck in much of the world: the plot line is this: The residents of Australia after a global nuclear war must come to terms with the fact that all life will be destroyed in a matter of months.

Whatever that may have to do with me, in the Netherlands at present, or you, in Japan or the States, Latin America, Scandinavia, India, Asia, Africa,
or anywhere else ?

Well, we are all going to be victims of the DU radiation being spread.

"They brought it home...

Not only were soldiers exposed to DU on and off the battlefields, but they brought it home. DU in the semen of soldiers internally contaminated their wives, partners and girlfriends. Tragically, some women in their 20s and 30s who were sexual partners of exposed soldiers developed endometriosis and were forced to have hysterectomies because of health problems.

In a group of 251 soldiers from a study group in Mississippi who had all had normal babies before the Gulf War, 67 percent of their post-war babies were born with severe birth defects. They were born with missing legs, arms, organs or eyes or had immune system and blood diseases. In some veterans’ families now, the only normal or healthy members of the family are the children born before the war.

The Department of Veterans Affairs has stated that they do not keep records of birth defects occurring in families of veterans."[*]

Peter Watkins and "The War game"

"On the Beach" was followed by another film you probably have not seen, 'The War game" by Peter Watkins, made for the BBC, but because most governments in the world (which send people, our children, to war), thought it was 'to close to real war and suffering in real life', so they decided that you couldn't stomach it, and thus it was not shown.

They made the profits, we paid our funerals...

Like nowadays, concerning the so-called 'news': the owners of the media (which are part of the warmongering) and their spin doctors, decide what sort of lies and cover-ups we will be served today.

*The War Game is a 1965 television film on nuclear war. Directed and produced by Peter Watkins for the BBC, its clear and cool depiction of the impact of a [Soviet] nuclear attack on Britain caused dismay within the BBC and in gov't.

It was scheduled for August 6, 1966 (the anniversary of the Hiroshima attack) but was not transmitted until 1985, the corporation publicly stating because "the effect of the film has been judged by the BBC to be too horrifying for the medium of broadcasting". But the film was actually stopped due to political pressure, supported by the tabloids who saw the film as "CND propaganda".*

In the seventies both movies have been shown in film c.q. art houses, but in none of the countries I've lived in abroad, for the past 40 years as a correspondent, I've ever seen any of those two movies on TV or in the cinemas.

To dangerous ?

For whom ?
