  Nuclear war has started with the Trojan horse of the bombs and projectiles of uranium used in Iraq and Afghanistan. The effects of the uranium war came home in the bodies of the veterans that participated in the fist war of Golf, who transmitted to their women the destructives genetic effects in the “ardent sperm” and the women passed it to her children that were born with no arms and other mutations. 

 240.000 veterans of Golf War I are in permanent medical inability and more than 11.000 already died, almost everyone “Cannon fodder” (or of uranium) poor, from Latin origin, afro-American or Asian. 

 Tons of uranium has fallen over Iraq and Afghanistan. The effects of the metal powder deployed on the winds, the sand storms, the water, the soil and the living creatures affect also a big region that is breathing particles of uranium in Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, China, India, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, and Israel. 

The United States launched experimental mini atomic bombs in the surroundings of Kabul, without anybody knowing, except the victims. Since a decade children with no eyes no encephalon and with other horrendous genetic malformations are being born.

 

 The government of Washington and the big media maintain this tragedy in the darkness of secret.  A handful of scientists, family of veterans of war and people of press struggles desperately to contain the proliferation of the radioactive contamination in Asian Europe. 

 Cancer increases in more than 1.000 percent.

  All of this is coming to knowledge because of the annual study “Censured Project” of the Sonoma University, California, about the 25 more hidden subjects by the great press of EE.UU.  The implicit message of this fourth delivery of the most censured subjects is Do something to stop the criminality of George W. Bush! (EC): They find hi levels of uranium in troops and civilians by Bob Nichols, Tedd Weyman, Stephanie Hiller, Juan Gonzalez, Niloufer Bhagwat J., Jennifer Lilling and Kenny Crosbie. 

 

The civilian population and the occupation troops in Iraq and Afghanistan are contaminated with amazing levels of radioactivity because of depleted uranium and not depleted used abundantly by the United States after September 11 of 2001 in the making of tons of munitions. The investigators say that the nearest countries will also feel the effects.

 

       In 2003, scientists of the Uranium Medical Research Center (UMRC) made urine analysis on afghan civilians. They found that a 100% of the samples contained not   depleted uranium (NDU) 4 to 20 times more than the normal levels.  The investigation team at UMRC studied six places, two in Kabul and others in the area of Jalalabad.  The civilians of Afghanistan were examined four times after the attacks of United States and its allies.  The NDU is more radioactive than the depleted uranium (DU, “depleted uranium”). During the last ten years it caused various types of cancer and severe congenital defects in the infant population.

 

 Only in 2003, fell on Iraq four million pounds of radioactive uranium (1,84 tons).

The powder of uranium stays in the bodies of our army forces when they come back home, according to the exams of nine soldiers of the 442 regiment of Military Police that served in Iraq  in December of 2003. Attending to a requirement of the Newspaper, New York Daily News, the government of EE.UU.  estimated to prohibit the cost of treatment of thousands of dollars for each affected soldier, although the proves established that four of the nine men were contaminated with high levels of DU, probably, by inhaling the powder of the rinds of the depleted uranium from the munitions of EE.UU.  Various men presented traces of U-236, other isotope of uranium that only appears in processes of nuclear reaction. 

 

  The majority of the American weapons (”elegant”, rockets, bombs, “mute” bombs, bullets, projectiles of tanks, missiles of cruise, munitions, etc.) contain high quantities of radioactive uranium, depleted and not depleted.  The detonation of these projectiles spread a radioactive powder that has an average of live of 4.5 thousand millions of years and enters in human beings by inhalation, to stay in their bodies. Basically, it is a contaminant that is permanently present in the environment, distributed by dust storms and spread by any near source of water. 

Ones ingested, it develops subatomic particles that slice the DNA. The team of field of the UMRC found various of hundreds of afghan civilians with  sharp symptoms of poisoning by radiation together with chronic symptoms of internal contamination of uranium, including congenital problems of just born.  The local civilians described big and dense clouds of dust and smoke originated in the point of impact, with an acre and burning smell that affected their nostrils, the throat and the superior respiratory zone.  The people of all locations presented identical profiles and chronology of the symptoms.  The victims reported pain in the cervical spine, in the superior part of the shoulders and in the base of the skull, besides pain in a lower place behind the kidneys, muscular and articulation weakness, difficulties to sleep, headache, memory problems and disorientation.

 In the Conference of Uranium Weapons conducted on October of 2003 in Hamburg, Germany, independent scientists of all around the world witnessed a huge increase in the deformities and in the cancers of birth wherever the NDU and the DU were used. 

 

Professor Katsuma Yagasaki, scientist of the Ryukyus University, Okinawa, calculated that the 0.800 tons of DU tossed in Afghanistan are the radioactive equivalent of 83.000 bombs of Nagasaki.  The quantity of DU used in Iraq its equivalent to 250.000 bombs of Nagasaki. 

 

The oncologist Mr. Jawad Al-Al-Ali, trained in the United Kingdom, showed in the Conference pictures illustrating the types of deformities and tumors of birth that he observed in the Saddam Teaching hospital of Basra, just before the war of 2003.  The cancer rates increased dramatically above the other fifteen years.

In 1989 there were 11 abnormalities per 100.000 births, but in 2001 they increased more than a 1.000%, with 116 cases per each 100.000 births.  In 1989, 34 persons died of cancer, but in 2001 there were 603 dead.  The war of 2003 exponentially increased these figures. In a meeting for Afghanistan, of the International Criminal Court, conducted in Tokyo, in December of 2003, EE.UU, was processed of multiple war crimes in Afghanistan, between them the use of DU. 

 

Leuren Moret, president of the Scientists for the Aborigen and the Environmental Commission of the city of Berkeley, was witness that the radioactive elements of the weapons of uranium dispersed by the military deployment of EE.UU. in Afghanistan generated contamination of the air, water and the food sources, the effects of which will be endured in Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, China, and India.

The countries affected by the use of uranium weapons in Iraq include Saudi Arabia, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, Turkey and Iran. The Uranium Bombings contaminated the air, the water, the soil, leaving beings, and humans, including the American invaders that come back home sick. 

The people of the world has familiarized itself with the “Weapon that Smokes”, so estimated by the mystery and murder writers. Many think that once you discover the “Weapon that Smokes” in any mystery, time comes for the “bad guys”. They are just wishes. The victims of the “weapons that smoke” are the sergeant Hector Vega, Ray Ramos, Agustin Matos, and Anthony Yonnone, all of the “Guard Unit” 42 of New York.  They are the first confirmed cases of exposure to inhalations of uranium exuded from the actual conflict in Iraq.  Dr. Asaf Durakovic, professor of nuclear medicine in the Medical Investigation Center of Uranio (http://www.umrc.net/) led the diagnostic proves.

The history was published on April 3 of 2004 en the “New York Daily News”.  There is no treatment, no cure. (http://www.nydailynews.com/).

 

Leuren Moret informed:  “In my investigation about depleted uranium during the last 5 years, the most disturbing information refers to the impact on not born children and in the future generations of soldiers of both sides that serve in the wars of depleted uranium, and for the civilians that must permanently live in the contaminated regions with radioactivity. Today more than 240.000 veterans of the Golf War are in permanent medical inability and more than 11.000 already died.  Medical assistance has been denied, like carrying on with tests and indemnifying them for the sicknesses related to the exposure to the depleted uranium since 1991″. Moret continues:  “They brought home the worst uniforms in their bodies. In some families, the born children before the Golf war are the only healthy members. The wives and the feminine relatives of the veteran of the Golf War have spread a condition known as “Syndrome of ardent sperm” and now internally they suffer of contamination of depleted uranium introduced in the sperm of the exposed veterans.  Many reported reproductive sicknesses like endometriosis.  In a Study of the Government of the United States conducted by the Department of Veteran affairs, in  67% of the babies posterior to  the War of Golf  defects of birth were found of serious sicknesses. They were born with no eyes (anophthalmos), ears, or organs were missing, legs, absent arms, molten fingers, damage in the thyroids and others malformations of organs”.

 American Boy born with no arms, just born Iraqi with no encephalon. Moret concluded:  “In Iraq its much worst. Even there the babies born with no brains, the organs are outside of the body or the women give birth to peaces of meat.  In the babies born in Iraq on 2002, the incidence of anophthalmos was 250.000 times greater (20 cases each 4.000 births) than the natural occurrence, that is of one case between 50 millions of births.

The UMRC found artificial uranium in bomb craters, surrounding brooks and bodies of civilians exposed to the bombing of the coalition of the EE.UU. in Afghanistan.  The examined civilians presented the classical symptoms of internal contamination because of Uranium that started after the exposure to the bombing. 

The presence of artificial uranium in environmental and biological samples indicates that the cores of the compresses on the bombs “bunker buster” used in Afghanistan were made by uranium. The uranium is a toxic element, radiological and chemically. It has been clinically demonstrated that causes various types of cancer and congenital malformations (birth defects). The intern contamination of the uranium is responsible of a variety of systemic and organic problems of the human systems never considered or studied as a possible cause of the so called “Sickness of the Golf War” by the health programs of the Department of Defense or Veterans.

The symptoms of internal contamination by uranium between civilians of Iraq and Afghanistan are identical and the symptoms of the veterans of EE.UU. and of the coalition that have the “Sickness of Golf War”. 

The Pentagon, or Department of Defense (DD) interfered the capacity of the UMRC to manage the publication of their studies with a progressive and persistent program of false information of press against the UMRC, using their control over the concessions of investigation in science to refute the scientific results and destroy the reputation of the UMRC, of their scientific staff, of their doctors and their laboratories. 

The UMRC was the first independent investigation organization that found depleted uranium in the bodies of the veterans of the United States, of the United Kingdom and of Canada, from the Golf War I. 

Later, after the operation “Operation Iraqi Freedom”, the UMRC found depleted uranium in the water, the soil and the atmosphere of Iraq, just like in the biological samples given by Iraqi civilians. 

The United States of America, various of their associates of the coalition and their allies of the OTAN experiment in the battle camps since the beginnings of the 70’s, deploying chemically toxic and radioactive heavy metals, used in various types of bullets, bombs and the core of the compresses of the missiles. The dust of uranium its recycled from the treatment of the new nuclear fuel, after its mixed with the residues of the nuclear reactor and the heavy fuel, to provide the manufacturing industry of not-fissile weapons.  

The Uranium is the favorite surplus between all of the residues of “ballistic” metals (for example, lead, iron, tungsten) because it offers a set of unique metallurgical characteristics: it is a metal extremely dense but ductile (not fragile); is pyroforic (the dust of uranium burns spontaneously in the environmental temperature); and the solid metal of uranium enters in an auto ignition at 76.7 C (170 F).

The uranium has very unusual properties that not any other metal has;” it sharpens itself”, so when it hits a target at high speed (I km x second or 3.600 km/hour) erodes and brakes in a way that “Sharpens” continually its top –under these conditions, the tops or heads of projectiles of all the other metals rapidly flat like fungi.  

These characteristics give the uranium a superior efficacy  as penetrating alloy in the compress of the projectiles, able to practice gaps to the electroplating of the hardest and resistant shields, retaining its capacity of penetrating mayor distances and in low speeds in 15% more than the alternative metal most used, the  tungsten. The ardent uranium is difficult to extinguish and explodes with water contact.  The mixed uranium with liquid penetrating metals, in the classified weapons called “shaped charges” and “explosively formed penetrators”, specially designed for high speeds, can pierce until 6 meters  of the super reinforced concrete structures of a bunker.  The characteristics of hardness (density), resistance (ductility) and weight (sustaining of the impetus) of the uranium also makes it optimal for the core of the compresses of the penetrating robust bombs of earth, aimed to targets like undergrounds and caves.  The big media of United States and Canada, don’t demonstrate any general interest in this history, abandoned to the investigative interest although the great European press shows more interest to follow its development. The NY Daily News of the 5^th of April of 2004 covered the results of the studies of the UMCR about the Veterans of the United States of the Golf War II.  The DD lied and deceived the public and the veterans in a tentative to mine the importance of the story.  There was important alternative press and internet media coverage. The technic of the coverage consisted in driving the story to promote a debate between the government and the independent experts, in where the public interest was more stimulated by the polarization of the publications, that for the scientific and medical truth.  The publications were systematically confused and misinformed  by the government, the regulating agencies of the United Nations (WHO, UNEP, IAEA, CDC, DOE, etc.) and the defense sector (militaries, manufacturers and designers of weapons). This is a shocking story, because it suggests that experimental nuclear bombs were launched around Kabul till the end of the Lasting Liberty Operation War. (Does this mean “Lasting Radiation”) – And what has fallen in Iraq? The continuation of the investigation shows that we are all irradiated here in the United States, in a huge cost for the public health. Just the cancer rates show that the genetic mutation its rapidly increasing since the first bomb was tested in Alamo Gordo, New Mexico, in 1945. But the effects of the low level of radiation have been hidden systematically to the public view! In April, after the sick veterans of this actual war did not get any help from the Pentagon, the mother of one of the soldiers went to the news papers. 

 Juan Gonzalez, of the New York Daily News, launched an investigation. The newspaper financed the studies of Dr. Asaf Durakovic in nine men, founding that four of them were contaminated with Uranium.  The News captured the attention of Senator Hilary Clinton, from New York, who carried out a  TV conference but …to Durakovic No!! 

Amy Goodman later on interviewed Durakovic in Democracy Now!!, during the same month he didn’t know if it was thanks to my story.  AlterNet rejected the story because Juan Fahey, her source of depleted uranium did not agree with her. I don’t know of any other important media that has taken the story and I didn’t found neither any reference to any chronicle to Gonzalez. 

The BBC and the Seattle Post Intelligencer covered it before me. To learn more about the uranium weapons we have to investigate in the web. It is a big issue. It starts with the World Conference about Uranium Weapons carried out in past October in Hamburg: (http://www.uraniumweaponsconference.de) 

The Power Point exposition of Dr. Ali shows the most crucial consequences of the Persian Golf War I – the deformed babies. Also, the WBW ensemble! Women for a Better World started a campaign of information to educate the public about depleted uranium, with emphasis in the contamination of Central Eurasia, specially the young people that could have been called to join the army and their families.
