Leuren Moret: Articles on Depleted Uranium (DU)

IF US ATTACKS IRAN, CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST ASIA WILL BE CONTAMINATED WITH DEADLY RADIATION

The United states has now caused depleted uranium
illnesses in more than 50% of our soldiers who have
served on the depleted uranium battlefields in Iraq,
Yugoslavia and Afghanistan.

People at the top of the US govt and Military know
this: "Terrell E. Arnold, who has been responsible for
training our most senior and most promising military
officers as chairman of the Department of
International Studies at the US National War College
in Washington, reports that Coalition dead and wounded
may actually be twice what the US government admits
and that, including the effects of our use of depleted
uranium and other toxic weapons, “a long-term casualty
rate for American forces of 40-50 percent appears
realistic.”"

The US and Israel are threatening nuclear war on Iran.
The Chinese intelligence have already warned countries
that will be contaminated with radiation from monsoon
rainout of nuclear materials:

http://www.waynemadsenreport.com/dec30-jan606.htm

“Southeast Asian intelligence sources report that
Burma's (Myanmar's) recent abrupt decision to move its
capital from Rangoon (Yangon) to remote Pyinmana, 200
miles to the north, is a result of Chinese
intelligence warnings to its Burmese allies about the
effects of radiation resulting from a US conventional
or tactical nuclear attack on Iranian nuclear
facilities.

"There is concern that a series of attacks on Iranian
nuclear installations will create a Chernobyl-like
radioactive cloud that would be caught up in monsoon
weather in the Indian Ocean.”

“Reports from Yemen indicate that western oil
companies are concerned about US intentions in Iran
since the southern Arabian country catches the edge of
the monsoon rains that could contain radioactive
fallout from an attack, endangering their workers in
the country.”

“Low-lying Rangoon lies in the path of monsoon rains
that would continue to carry radioactive fallout from
Iran over South and Southeast Asia between May and
October. Coastal Indian Ocean cities like Rangoon,
Dhaka, Calcutta, Mumbai, Chennai, and Colombo would be
affected by the radioactive fallout more than higher
elevation cities since humidity intensifies the
effects of the fallout. Thousands of government
workers were given only two days' notice to pack up
and leave Rangoon for the higher (and dryer)
mountainous Pyinmana.”

I have been on SAHAR TV — Teheran Office — warning
about this radiation and discussing other issues. I
have lived in Iran and was married to an Iranian. I
love Iran and the people. This cannot happen to Iran,
it will make the country radioactive forever.

Here is an article I wrote for the World Affairs
Journal. Look at the map and see where Iran is in this
nuclear war:

KITV Hawaii Video - Hawaii Depleted Uranium - Leuren Moret/ Bob Nichols Commentary - No Place is Safe. The US Army has contaminated Hawaii!

T his is a devastating video on the use of forever lethal uranium weapons by the US Army in the former Paradise of Hawaii. The Army has contaminated Hawaii forever with a form of highly radioactive and deadly uranium weapons.

KITV Hawaii - Depleted Uranium Hawaii (2 Mins 33 Seconds)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L94IUSw54pQ

The Psychopaths in the American Pentagon are methodically radiologically contaminating not only Iraq, Afghanistan and the former Yugoslavia; but hundreds of sites in America like the fabled San Francisco Bay Area and Washington, DC.

According to super secretive memos declassified from the Manhattan Project there are only two reason to use Uranium weapons. One is to kill people and the other is to contaminate the land - forever.

Who are they trying to kill in Hawaii?

SUCCESSFUL CONFERENCE DRAWS OVER 200 PARTICIPANTS TO BAN URANIUM EXPLORATION AND MINING IN BC

May 17, 2007
For Immediate Release
For further information, please contact:
Nadine Podmoroff 250-365-6722 nadia@netidea.com
Or Scott Leyland 250-362-9436 sleyland@telus.net    
Or Laura Savinkoff 250-442-0434 l4peace@telus.net

SUCCESSFUL CONFERENCE DRAWS OVER 200 PARTICIPANTS TO BAN URANIUM EXPLORATION AND MINING IN BC

     Over two hundred people gathered Saturday at the Brilliant Cultural Center, in Castlegar, for a Public Information and Action Forum on Uranium, which featured talks, visual and choral presentations, information displays, vegetarian potluck feast and planning meeting. 

     “This has been a very successful gathering,” said the Chair of the second half of the program, Peter Chataway, Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility.

     Participants reflected a rich blend of diversity, consisting of delegates from many organizations, independent businesses, Native Bands and Interior health, as well as Doctors, mothers, farmers, fathers, a Lawyer and Judge, youth, a Professor, and Grandparents.

     The morning program was opened by a welcoming by the President and the Peace Coordinator of the Kootenay Region Branch of the United Nations Association of Canada, JJ Verigin and Nadine Podmoroff, and it was facilitated by Laura Savinkoff, BC Representative of the Canadian Peace Alliance, who reminded participants to not ignore the “moral issues” associated with our concerns over the health impacts of local mining operations. 

     The program began with the President of Visions for our Future, Billy Jo Bray, who led an opening prayer on behalf of the Native Sinixt Nation, which was immediately followed by a Doukhobor choral prayer presentation.  Seven speakers then took the rest of the morning to outline a complex issue in which Federal and Provincial mining regulations were drawn to encourage mineral exploitation with little regard to the dangers posed by ionizing radiation.

     “What you people are doing here is very important,” said Dr. Woollard, a speaker at the Forum, and Royal Canadian Legion Professor and Head of UBC Department of Family Practice. Dr. Woollard spoke of the health and environmental impacts and the lessons to be learned from the struggle to ban Uranium mining in the 70’s. 

     Alfred Webre, of Vancouver, reported on research, which has revealed the Canadian Federal Government’s failure to enforce an existing prohibition on the use of Canadian Uranium in weapons production. Joe Falkoski, member of a Clean Kettle Valley, and Rob Westie talked about existing regulations and changes to the Tenant Miners Act, which undermines private property rights in favor of mineral exploration. Former Green Party Candidate Scott Leyland brought a humorous take to educating folks about the hidden economic and ecological costs of nuclear power generation, while Alex Atamanenco, Member of Parliament, and Katrine Conroy, MLA, both stated their support of a ban to exploration and mining of Uranium in BC. John Suttie, Okanogan Chair of the BC Sustainable Energy Association wrapped up the information session outlining viable alternative energy solutions.

Participating Coalition members from many regions of BC and Northern Washington agreed on the following demands:

•    *A legislative ban on uranium exploration and mining in BC
•    *That testing be conducted to ensure that proposed land disturbing activities do not pose a threat of radioactive exposure to the surrounding environment and
•    *That cautionary principles guide the regulation of land disturbing activities in areas where Uranium and related ionizing radiation can be mobilized. 

     The Uranium Free BC Coalition is urging their member groups to lobby their local, Regional and Provincial Governments to achieve these ends.

     “In Ontario, Uranium mining in Elliott Lake has contaminated the community and its water forever,” said Nadine Podmoroff, Forum Coordinator.  This is not the legacy our community is willing to leave for our children.  Today we’ve heard about the local and global impacts of uranium.  Now we’ll return to our communities to share what we’ve learned and continue our work.”

Canada’s Role in Depleted Uranium Weapons Worldwide

Members of the Organizing Committee, Distinguished Speakers and Fellow Participants

Thank you for allowing me to speaking here at the request of independent Scientist Leuren Moret, Expert witness at the Tokyo International Tribunal for War Crimes in Afghanistan.  Leuren could not be here because she is at the Hawaii Legislature working to funding a bill requiring soil testing for Depleted Uranium (DU).

The Depleted Uranium that has contaminated the Hawaian Islands with deadly radiation most probably has a Canadian Uranium source.  It is highly probably that the Depleted Uranium in those DU weapons tested on the Big Island and at military bases on Oahu, and in the nuclear weapons on board ships at Pearl Harbour is all derived from Canadian Uranium, exported to the U.S. and processed into enriched Uranium and DU.

It is highly probable, according to Experts, that predominance of the Depleted Uranium in the DU weapons used by the U.S and the U.K. in Afghanistan and found by Judge Niloufer Bhagwat of the Tokyo International Tribunal for War Crimes in Afghanistan to have constituted “genocide, ecocide, and omnicide” came from Canadian Uranium.  In Iraq, where the British medical journal Lancet estimates that one million civilians have died, it is also likely that Depleted Uranium in the DU weapons used by the U.S and the U.K. there comes from Canadian Uranium exported to the US and processed there into Depleted Uranium and subsequently manufactured into DU weapons.
