THE radioactive weapons used by the U.S. in its attacks in Syria are likely to cause cancer, birth defects and other illnesses for many years to come. See the report by Daniel McAdams.

Subject Line: As a Thinker?

What do you know about depleted uranium?  Where did you learn it?  Do you actually know that DU is naturally occurring Uranium-238 and that you and every single person on the planet, now, before us and after us, ingests, drinks in and breathes in a fraction of a microgram of U-238 every single day of their life?  I suspect probably not.

I only know what I have read in articles that have alleged that soldiers and others who handled the weapons were contaminated and died from cancer. Some of the many articles on the subject can be found here, here, here, here and here.

I am certainly open to counter arguments.

Christopher Bollyn wrote in 2005:

Depleted uranium weapons, and the untold misery they wreak on mankind, are taboo subjects in the mainstream media. This exclusive report should break the media embargo imposed on the American people.

Despite being a grossly under-reported subject in the mainstream, there is intense public interest in depleted uranium (DU) and the damage it inflicts on humankind and the environment.

While this writer has been actively investigating DU weapons and how they contribute to Gulf War Syndrome, the corporate-controlled press ignores the illegal use of DU and its long-lasting effects on the health of veterans and the public.

In August 2004, my ground-breaking four-part series on DU weapons and the long-term health risks they pose to soldiers and civilians alike was published in a Washington, D.C. based newspaper. Information provided to me by experts and scientists, and the articles that were published thereafter, have increased public awareness of how exposure to small particles of DU can severely affect human health.

Leuren Moret, a Berkeley-based geo-scientist with expertise in atmospheric dust, corresponds with me on DU issues. Recently Moret provided a copy of her letters to a British radiation biologist, Dr. Chris Busby, about how nanometer size particles—less than one-tenth of a micron and smaller—of DU once inhaled or absorbed into the body, can cause long-term damage to one’s health.
