Everyone should know

9/11 had Americans asking why people on the other side of the ocean hated them so much. Thus they have taken the initiative to “learn thy enemy.” Yet the American media and literary press leave much to be desired. The United States is a democracy; therefore the press is free and informative. On the other hand, Noam Chomsky in Media Control, The Spectacular Achievements of Propaganda, indicates that “an alternative conception of democracy is that the public must be barred from managing of their own affairs and the means of information must be kept narrowly and rigidly controlled. That may sound like an odd conception of democracy, but it’s important to understand that it is the prevailing conception.”

For example, Americans are unaware of the violent impact American Imperialism has had on the entire world, including the Americans themselves. Leuren Moret in her “Depleted Uranium: The Trojan Horse of Nuclear War”, published in The Journal of International Issues July 1, 2004, states:

“The use of depleted uranium weaponry by the United States, defying all international treaties, will slowly annihilate all species on earth including the human species, and yet this country continues to do so with full knowledge of its destructive potential.”

Moret has been banned from speaking at particular events such a The Physicians for Global Survival. Her story is on of the top censored stories in the United States by Project Censored. So it’s not surprising most Americans don’t know that the amount of depleted uranium released in the atmosphere is the equivalent of 40,000 Hiroshima bombs, with the effect lasting approximately 4.5 billion years, and no way to reverse or stop the spresd. As Dr Rosalie Bertell, an international radiation expert and one of 46 authors of the European Parliament by the European Committee on Radiation Risk (ECRR) states in Moret's article:

“The concept of species annihilation means a relatively swift, deliberately induced end to history, culture, science, biological reproduction and memory. It is the ultimate human rejection of the gift of life, an act which requires a new word to describe it: omnicide.”

Moret declared the ’91 Gulf War as on of “the most toxic and environmentally devastating wars in world history.” Between the destruction of the desert ecosystem by attacks against oil wells and tankers and the dispersal of 340 tons of depleted uranium weapons, a serious problem was created.

“Smoke from the oil fires was later found in deposits in South America, the Himalayas and Hawaii. Large annual dust storms originating in North Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia will quickly spread the radioactive contamination around the world, and weathering of old depleted uranium munitions on battlefields and other areas will provide new sources of radioactive contamination in future years,” reported Moret.

The ailments as a result of DU range from headaches, to homicidal tendencies, alimentary disorders, cancers, reproductive issues, skin eruptions, deafness, dyspraxia, paralysis, blindness, birth defects such as malformed legs, arms, toes and fingers, just to name a few. With a list this long, and effects this lasting its no wonder a lot of people on this side of the world really don’t like America.
