Deformed Babies

A lot of people like babies & take a lot of trouble over them. One can be a full time occupation. So are three; it just means dividing time between them, working harder, feeling exhausted. It has worked like that since Adam & Eve started the whole thing off.

But it can go wrong, horribly so. If they die as babies it can be heart breaking. But when they are deformed it can be even worse. If young ones are the result man's manipulations it is not just tragic. It is evil. That is what happens when armies use Depleted Uranium in ammunition.

The justification, as far as there is one is that DU is denser than lead, making it more effective in 30 mm armour piercing ammunition. This would be all right if it were just destroying enemy tanks. The problem arises after it is used. Fine DU dust can be scattered and breathed in by people in the area. It is radioactive, although less so than the enriched form; that goes into nuclear bombs.

Does that radiation damage men's sperm, their genes? We have to believe it. Or at all events people in the business do. What do they do about it? Pretend it is not real, that it is a nonissue, just another Conspiracy Theory

This would be make a perverted sense if it were not true that tungsten is even denser and, in all probability a lot cheaper.  

A rather long article called The Endless War Iraq's Heavy Legacy of Depleted Uranium - Sasa Post goes over the ground. It reads as credible & authoritative. It blames the damage done by DU dust after hitting targets. The dust can be breathed in, causing Alpha Particle Radiation in the body. The dangers are confirmed by the Wiki.

 

The Endless War Iraq's Heavy Legacy of Depleted Uranium - Sasa Post


This source gives a reasoned commentary on very ugly reality.

It tells us inter alia
QUOTE
We tried to get information from the US Embassy in Baghdad about the quantities of uranium used in the wars of 1991 and 2003 and the coordinates of the bombing, and US maps of sites contaminated with ionizing radiation, in relation to high rates of cancer and birth defects, however, we did not get a response; however, part of the GPS coordinates of locations targeted with DU in 2003 were given by the US Department of Defense to the Dutch army based in Muthanna province in southern Iraq as part of the international coalition forces. These coordinates belonged exclusively to radioactive contaminated sites in that province, and the Dutch army handed those coordinates to the Dutch Peace Organization (PAX), which they included in a study published in 2014.

In 2003, New scientist Magazine published a US Defense Department research paper, during which it stated that the United States and Britain used 320 tons of depleted uranium munitions during the 1991 Gulf War, and the paper also stated that the US military used two thousand tons Depleted uranium munitions during the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

In June of the same year, Damas Lopez, head of the “International Depleted Uranium Study Group” (ADUST) presented a research paper he read in the European Parliament in Brussels, in which he stated that the United States used depleted uranium on a large scale during its wars in Iraq, and the Dutch Nuclear Research Foundation (LAKA) estimated that the amount of depleted uranium used in the 1991 Gulf War was more than 800 tons.

In the same year that the 1991 Gulf War ended, a secret report issued by the British Nuclear Energy Agency was leaked, and the Independent newspaper published it at the time, saying that the uranium that remained in Iraq could cause the death of 500,000 people, and after five years of leaking the report, specifically in October 21, 1996 The Nation magazine reported that this figure was calculated on the assumption that the remaining in Iraq is 40 tons, not 320 tons of depleted uranium.

In order to prevent its spread and use, in 2003 a global coalition formed of more than 160 organizations, from 34 countries, called the International Alliance to Ban Uranium Weapons (ICBUW). This coalition was able on several occasions – the last of which was in 2014 – to introduce a draft law at the United Nations to prevent the use of Weapons made of depleted uranium. However, the vote by the United States, Britain, France, and Israel against it every time hindered the ban on the use of depleted uranium weapons.

*The investigation was completed with the support of “ NIRIJ ” network for investigative journalism, and its full version was published on “SasaPost” website, and a short version of the investigation has been published on “Daraj” website and others.

Main article:
Relative biological effectiveness

Due to the short range of absorption and inability to penetrate the outer layers of skin, alpha particles are not, in general, dangerous to life unless the source is ingested or inhaled.[6] Because of this high mass and strong absorption, if alpha-emitting radionuclides do enter the body (upon being inhaled, ingested, or injected, as with the use of Thorotrast for high-quality X-ray images prior to the 1950s), alpha radiation is the most destructive form of ionizing radiation. It is the most strongly ionizing, and with large enough doses can cause any or all of the symptoms of radiation poisoning. It is estimated that chromosome damage from alpha particles is anywhere from 10 to 1000 times greater than that caused by an equivalent amount of gamma or beta radiation, with the average being set at 20 times. A study of European nuclear workers exposed internally to alpha radiation from plutonium and uranium found that when relative biological effectiveness is considered to be 20, the carcinogenic potential (in terms of lung cancer) of alpha radiation appears to be consistent with that reported for doses of external gamma radiation i.e. a given dose of alpha-particles inhaled presents the same risk as a 20-times higher dose of gamma radiation.[7] The powerful alpha emitter polonium-210 (a milligram of 210Po emits as many alpha particles per second as 4.215 grams of 226Ra) is suspected of playing a role in lung cancer and bladder cancer related to tobacco smoking.[8] 210Po was used to kill Russian dissident and ex-FSB officer Alexander V. Litvinenko in 2006.[9]

When alpha particle emitting isotopes are ingested, they are far more dangerous than their half-life or decay rate would suggest, due to the high relative biological effectiveness of alpha radiation to cause biological damage. Alpha radiation is an average of about 20 times more dangerous, and in experiments with inhaled alpha emitters, up to 1000 times more dangerous[10] than an equivalent activity of beta emitting or gamma emitting radioisotopes.

Keith Baverstock ex Wiki
QUOTE
Dr Keith Baverstock is a former regional adviser for Radiation and Public Health, World Health Organization and current medical researcher and Docent in the Department of Environmental Science at the University of Eastern Finland.

His primary research focus on how the cell is regulated, which he claims was stimulated by "the uncovering of the property of ionising radiation to induce instability in the genome and the related effect, the so called bystander effect, in which a cell experiencing damage inflicted by ionising radiation affects surrounding cells, which then exhibit effects similar to the genomic instability." His long term research interests have included the effects of low doses of radiation, the toxicity of depleted uranium and the consequences of nuclear accidents.[1] Baverstock has urged further research into the biological effects of the fallout from Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear accidents.[2]

In October 2015, Baverstock said of the Fukushima nuclear disaster that it was in breach of international laws prohibiting the dumping of radioactivity into the sea. He stated his belief the media, with particular reference to Europe, was under-reporting the ongoing problems at Fukushima. Of the general public's perception, he said:

"I think many people would be very surprised that it was still a matter for discussion. They would be even more surprised to learn that it’s still an ongoing accident, and that it hasn’t terminated yet… and they would be more surprised to learn that nobody knows how to stop it."[3]

Since the year 2000, Baverstock's work has been published in various medical and scientific journals, including The Journal of Physiology, Journal of the Royal Society Interface, Progress in Biophysics & Molecular Biology, The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Mutation Research, Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, British Medical Journal (BMJ), Radiation Protection Dosimetry, PLoS One, Energy & Environment, Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine, Environmental Health Perspectives, Nature, Journal of Radiological Protection, Medicine, Conflict and Survival and Science.[4]

World Health Organization ex Wiki
QUOTE
The World Health Organization (WHO)[1] is a specialized agency of the United Nations responsible for international public health.[2] The WHO Constitution states its main objective as "the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health".[3] Headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, it has six regional offices and 150 field offices worldwide.

The WHO was established on 7 April 1948.[4][5] The first meeting of the World Health Assembly (WHA), the agency's governing body, took place on 24 July of that year. The WHO incorporated the assets, personnel, and duties of the League of Nations' Health Organization and the Office International d'Hygiène Publique, including the International Classification of Diseases (ICD).[6] Its work began in earnest in 1951 after a significant infusion of financial and technical resources.[7]

The WHO's mandate seeks and includes: working worldwide to promote health, keeping the world safe, and serve the vulnerable. It advocates that a billion more people should have: universal health care coverage, engagement with the monitoring of public health risks, coordinating responses to health emergencies, and promoting health and well-being.[8] It provides technical assistance to countries, sets international health standards, and collects data on global health issues. A publication, the World Health Report, provides assessments of worldwide health topics.[9] The WHO also serves as a forum for discussions of health issues.[2]

The WHO has played a leading role in several public health achievements, most notably the eradication of smallpox, the near-eradication of polio, and the development of an Ebola vaccine. Its current priorities include communicable diseases, particularly HIV/AIDS, Ebola, COVID-19, malaria and tuberculosis; non-communicable diseases such as heart disease and cancer; healthy diet, nutrition, and food security; occupational health; and substance abuse. Its World Health Assembly, the agency's decision-making body, elects and advises an executive board made up of 34 health specialists. It selects the director-general, sets goals and priorities, and approves the budget and activities. The director-general is Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus of Ethiopia.[10]

The WHO relies on contributions from member states (both assessed and voluntary) and private donors for funding. Its total approved budget for 2020–2021 is over $7.2 billion, of which the majority comes from voluntary contributions from member states.[2][11] Contributions are assessed by a formula that includes GDP per capita. Among the largest contributors were Germany (which contributed 12.18% of the budget), the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (11.65%), and the United States (7.85%).[12]

Since the late 20th century, the rise of new actors engaged in global health such as the World Bank, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and dozens of public-private partnerships for global health have weakened the WHO’s role as a coordinator and policy leader in the field.[13]

Alpha Particle ex Wiki
QUOTE
Alpha particles, also called alpha rays or alpha radiation, consist of two protons and two neutrons bound together into a particle identical to a helium-4 nucleus. They are generally produced in the process of alpha decay, but may also be produced in other ways. Alpha particles are named after the first letter in the Greek alphabet, α. The symbol for the alpha particle is α or α2+. Because they are identical to helium nuclei, they are also sometimes written as He2+
or 4
2
He2+
indicating a helium ion with a +2 charge (missing its two electrons). Once the ion gains electrons from its environment, the alpha particle becomes a normal (electrically neutral) helium atom 4
2
He
.

Alpha particles have a net spin of zero. Due to the mechanism of their production in standard alpha radioactive decay, alpha particles generally have a kinetic energy of about 5 MeV, and a velocity in the vicinity of 4% of the speed of light. (See discussion below for the limits of these figures in alpha decay.) They are a highly ionizing form of particle radiation, and (when resulting from radioactive alpha decay) usually have low penetration depth (stopped by a few centimeters of air, or by the skin).

However, so-called long range alpha particles from ternary fission are three times as energetic, and penetrate three times as far. The helium nuclei that form 10–12% of cosmic rays are also usually of much higher energy than those produced by nuclear decay processes, and thus may be highly penetrating and able to traverse the human body and also many meters of dense solid shielding, depending on their energy. To a lesser extent, this is also true of very high-energy helium nuclei produced by particle accelerators.................

Americans Destroy Hospital In Fallujah, Iraq  [ 21 April 2022 ]
QUOTE
A hospital has been razed to the ground in one of the heaviest US air raids in the Iraqi city of Fallujah.

Witnesses said only the facade remained of the small Nazzal Emergency Hospital in the centre of the city. There are no reports on casualties. A nearby medical supplies storeroom and dozens of houses were damaged as US forces continued preparing the ground for an expected major assault. UN chief Kofi Annan has warned against an attack on the restive Sunni city.

It is the third time since the end of the US-led war that US and Iraqi forces have tried to gain control of Fallujah. They say militants loyal to top al-Qaeda suspect Abu Musab al-Zarqawi are hiding there............

US troops using 155mm howitzers pounded a number of pre-planned targets in Fallujah on Saturday......... Overnight, a column of armoured vehicles and Humvee jeeps carried out attacks in the outskirts of Fallujah designed to draw out the rebels and provide fresh targets for the air power and artillery.

These are the kind of preliminary operations which would be carried out before a full-scale assault on Fallujah, our correspondent says.

The air strikes reduced the Nazzal hospital, run by a Saudi Arabian Islamic charity, to rubble.

Hospital officials quoted by Reuters news agency say all the contents were ruined.

Why was this hospital attacked? Is it part of the Information Blockades run by TPTB, The Powers That Be? Is it to cover up the truth about the babies born horribly deformed due to American attacks using Depleted Uranium. Perhaps but evidence is out there. There is not enough to prove guilt or intent in court but there is definitely a case to answer. Larry Romanoff, who wrote this article might agree that his article is not be enough to convict. He didn't answer an email regarding the nature of the Nazzal hospital.

Workers allegedly reported a high prevalence of birth defects in Basrah (south of Iraq) in the post 1991 Gulf War period, which was attributed to exposure to depleted uranium (DU) used in the war [6, 7]. This provided impetus for further research in this particular field in Iraq. This paper reviews the published literature and provided evidence concerning birth defects in Iraq to elucidate possible environmental exposure. The review also used some directly collected data on birth defects from Al-Ramadi Maternity and Paediatric Hospital in Al-Anbar Governorate in Iraq from1st July 2000 through 30th June 2002 where a total of 12831 live births and stillbirths at hospital were included. All live born neonates were physically examined by a pediatrician during the first three days of delivery, and birth defects were reported. Stillborn fetuses were only physically examined without autopsy. This study is

Babies born in Fallujah are exhibiting high rates of mortality and birth defects. In September 2009, 170 children were born at Fallujah General Hospital, 24% of whom died within 7 days, 75% of those exhibited deformities including children born with two heads, no head, a single eye in their foreheads or missing limbs. The comparable data for August 2002 recorded 530 births of whom 6 died and only one of whom was deformed [54].

The public knowledge about the U.S. military deployment of nearly 10,000 depleted uranium rounds (DU) in 2003 from jets and tanks remains virtually unknown. There is an estimation that the US fired 300,000 rounds during the first Gulf War conflict in 1991, without releasing knowledge or evidence of testing to inform of potential health hazards of new munitions. The only mistake deadlier than firing this overabundance of DU weaponry is the denial of it, and failing to acknowledge the hazards posed to civilians. American and British occupation forces have forbidden the release of statistics related to civilian casualties after the occupation of Iraq. Additionally, they refused to clean up contaminated areas, and deny international agencies and Iraqi researchers the right to conduct full DU related exploration programs.

Despite American and British disclosure that they used around 400 tonnes of DU munitions in Iraq in 1991 and 2003, the United Nations Environment Program believes that the total may be nearer 1000 tonnes. Persistent and consistent reports from medical staff across Iraq have associated this legacy from the conflict with increased rates of certain cancers and congenital birth defects. The extent to which DU may be associated with these health problems is still unclear as the conditions since 2003 have not been conducive to studying civilian exposure and health outcomes. When looking at some of the major battles that took place during the operations in Najaf, Basrah, Al Samawa, Karbala and Nasiriyah, involving platforms armed with DU, Dutch Peace Corps PAX has established with certainty that DU was used in populated areas and against armored and non-armored targets.

Have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banana_equivalent_dose. A fatal dose of bananas is 35 million of them.

Then try https://www.sasapost.com/the-endless-war-iraqs-heavy-legacy-of-depleted-uranium/ to see what the dust from DU does to people.

Alpha particles emitted by DU are almost certainly the cause of congenital birth defects in Iraq. See the pictures if you can bear to look at them. Then hope they die quickly.

Dr. Samira Al-Ani confirms that the deformities in the births of the city of Fallujah are more than 14 times the congenital malformations in the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, in just two years, Al-Ani said, she documented 699 cases of malformation. When asked about the extent to which deformation rates are associated with radioactive contamination, Al-Ani confirmed that they searched for toxic metals in samples taken from births with congenital malformation and samples from their families (father, mother, or both) and found high levels of uranium, mercury, lead and other metals.
