Why Use DU Munitions ???

As you may have heard, the UK and other NATO countries are sending depleted uranium munitions to Ukraine, in spite of the fact such weapons are known to pose significant health threats to friend and foe alike and to the populations of countries where they are used. Allegedly they work well at penetrating tank armor, but might there be other reasons NATO likes to use them?

According to this report by Democracy Now!, use of DU by "coalition forces" in Fallujah, Iraq resulted in horrific birth defects in the offspring of the city's residents:

The deleterious effects associated with DU have been known for some time and were documented in this report in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists:

https://thebulletin.org/2020/07/war-and-the-environment/

However, note well the BAS makes no claim that DU is the CAUSE of the horrific birth defects noted in the Democracy Now! report. And most references I can find also downplay the role of DU in such circumstances. Yes, they claim, it's harmful but it doesn't do THAT. So what's been going on?

This 2011 scientific study by Samira Alaani, et al. may contain a clue:

Hair samples from 25 fathers and mothers of children diagnosed with congenital anomalies were analysed for Uranium and 51 other elements. Mean ages of the parents was: fathers 29.6 (SD 6.2); mothers: 27.3 (SD 6.8). For a sub-group of 6 women, long locks of hair were analysed for Uranium along the length of the hair to obtain information about historic exposures. Samples of soil and water were also analysed and Uranium isotope ratios determined.

Note the report's closing statement:

The levels of Uranium could not be explained by any local Uranium deposits in the soil since measurements made of soil Uranium showed only modest concentrations though the Uranium was slightly enriched. Levels in the hair were also greater than could be easily explained by the levels we measured in the drinking water. The hair samples appear to contain traces of slightly enriched Uranium with an isotopic ratio of 135.16 (SD 1.5). The soil samples contained slightly enriched Uranium with isotope ratios ranging from 118 to 132 (natural range 95% CI 132.1-144.1) which demonstrates the existence of enriched Uranium in the Fallujah environment. Since none of the other elements found in excess in the parents were genotoxic except Uranium we conclude that these results support the belief that the effects in Fallujah follow the deployment of a Uranium-based weapon or weapons of some unknown type.

... deployment of a Uranium-based weapon or weapons of some unknown type !!!

So, it appears that weapons containing enriched uranium (i.e., NOT depleted) may have been used, and something else may have been deployed as well. From what we now know about SARS-CoV-2 and the US weapons labs/factories in Ukraine and elsewhere, it's entirely possible the "DU" munitions being sent to Ukraine might contain something other than or in addition to depleted uranium.

If the intent is to "kill as many Russian as possible", then we might expect these weapons to have a biological component which not only would contaminate the battlefield but also could be carried home by survivors to infect their families and neighbors.

Don't trust any claims made by NATO nations or any other US vassal states. The US is the only nation known to have used nuclear, biological, chemical, and radiological weapons in battle. The US also is suspected of facilitating attacks with severe environmental consequences (e.g., the NS I and NS II pipelines and the Nova Kakhovka dam). I would not be at all surprised if they used modified DU munitions as a vehicle for introducing even more lethal weapons onto the Ukraine battlefield.

That's the very kind of sneaky trick the US and its vassals love to pull on the rest of the world.

How To Make A Difference

Here is some good advice from Charles Hugh Smith:

To really reduce one's consumption of the planet's resources, we would have to grow our own food, get around on our own feet or zero-fuel transport (motorless bicycle or skateboard or boat) and not buy / own / use large resource-consuming devices such as vehicles, aircraft, etc.

The system as currently configured makes it nearly impossible to do this. Even growing much of your own food requires delivery of fertilizers (organic or chemical, they still weight a lot). Very few places are bike-skateboard friendly. The world is set up for large, mass-produced fueled vehicles. Outside of a few cities, public transport is incapable of getting people where they need to go in any sort of time-efficient manner.

Any takers?

Update - 6/15/2023

Upon reflection, the above kinda sounds like Ted Kaczynski:

He lived in a cabin near Lincoln, Montana, a place in every sense off the grid: no electricity, no television, no telephone. He moved about with a bicycle. He took an interest in regeneration in nature. He even foraged. This was his way of romancing the notion of the “pre-industrial city”, as he termed it, where the “19th century frontiersman” could create “change himself, by his own choice.”

The lesson here is that all this could be achieved without violence, as long as TPTB didn't resort to it to bring us back to the fold.

What's the chance of that happening?

The Great Satan

Here is an honest appraisal of the USA by A. J. Smuskiewicz:

The only thing I would add is that Satan is REAL ... an actual entity which has turned the entire USA into a place of evil.

Here is additional discussion:

Are you happy now?

The Real Climate Catastrophe

Yes, there is a climate crisis. But it stems not from CO2 we put into the atmosphere, but from the nonsensical "solutions" some folks want us to implement:

https://internationalman.com/articles/david-stockman-on-the-phony-climate-change-catastrophe-and-why-americans-will-foot-the-bill/

A species cannot thrive in a sea of its own waste. Earth's green plants are here to take care of the CO2, but we need to take care of the rest.

A good first step would be to stop digging things out of the ground which are then turned into batteries, solar cells, and wind turbines ... all of which quickly end up in landfills, leaving behind mountains and rivers of even MORE waste and byproducts.

Greene Rejects Green

The county in which I live (Greene County, Ohio) is soundly rejecting the "green" agenda. No solar or wind farms will be allowed in several counties:

https://www.daytondailynews.com/local/fifth-greene-county-township-declared-off-limits-from-large-scale-solarwind-sixth-in-the-works/ZFLHS5ZIQ5ENJACW2QOV7QENGE/

I'm more or less in agreement. Farmers help keep us alive. The Greenies don't; in fact, they appear to be pushing an agenda which may kill many of us.

Realistically, this is the way to handle the issue -  put it up to a vote of the people. "Our" Congress cannot be trusted to act in our best interest.

Creeping Tyranny

So, "Joe Biden" issues an executive order to do something which is unconstitutional (forgive student debt), Congress passes a bill to repeal the action, and the President vetoes the bill and vows to ignore what the Supreme Court says about the matter:

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/student-loans-biden-vetoes-bill-to-claw-back-student-loan-relief-234933387.html

Can you provide a better example of tyranny, which is defined as "a government in which all power is in the hands of a single ruler"?

The US is NOT a "democracy", and it is no longer a "constitutional republic". It's a political disaster, in which nearly all branches and organs of government have been weaponized against the people and the ruling party's political opponents.

Of course, we already knew that but no one really seems to give a darn.

Ted Is Dead

Ted Kaczynski, the alleged sole "Unabomber", has died in prison. You can read about it here:

https://www.daytondailynews.com/nation-world/ted-kaczynski-known-as-the-unabomber-for-years-of-attacks-that-killed-3-dies-in-prison-at-81/MAIDOYDEYNFNTPNZVDSVOWF4BA/

Kaczynski, a gifted mathematician, for some reason withdrew from society, lived alone in a shack, wrote a "manifesto", and apparently started sending bombs to various people around the country, injuring some and killing others. Perhaps he did all that because the CIA melted his brain via the MK-ULTRA Program, perhaps for some other reason(s). I doubt we'll ever fully know.

I haven't read his manifesto, but I did scan it once. It seemed to be a warning about the very dystopian society we now are being forced to live in. I think there's several lessons here for all of us, including this one:

Ted apparently thought violence was a way to get people's attention and change society. Today we call that "terrorism", but what do we call it when the US government engages in similar activities, often on a larger scale? Responsibility to protect? Humanitarian intervention? Preserving democracy?

Yes, what Ted did is unforgivable. But we as a nation need to ask ourselves why Ted was in prison for killing a few, while our leaders who kill millions are still free and enjoying the good life.

Does that make any sense to you?
