GIs’ brains fried by military dispensed nose candy

These radioactive automatic weapons are so small they can float right through your clothes, evade your skin’s defenses and invade your body. Wherever the weapons alight inside, there is trouble as they never stop firing and there is no limit to their number. In a soldiers brain, trouble shows up in a noticeable way to others.

As for the 20 cell radius ball within Range, think of these powerful Bullets each as a 100 car, 100 mph, or 160 kmh, fully loaded freight train obliterating a small dog tied to the railroad tracks. Right, for the 20 cells that are within range -- in all directions, it ain’t pretty.

To me, this means these 20 cell radius spheres in Soldiers and Vets brains turn to jelly or mush, weird diseases or cancers, or all of the above. No wonder VA Secretary and former General Eric Shinseki has noted the big increase in the VA’s contract Psychiatric services.

This radioactive bullet explanation for Vets unusual behaviors holds water and makes perfect sense to me. The Vets are under attack internally. Actually inside their skulls and in their brains. Worse, there’s nothing they can do about it. The huge VA system is also helpless. There is no cure and no treatment. . . .

1. These are nuclear weapons of mass destruction and they will impact health for decades to come.

2. Important science, but inaccurate metaphors

The research identifying a special pathway for uranium to enter the brain is important and may help explain some of the symptoms vets exposed to DU experience.

At the same time, there's no evidence whatsoever that ill health has anything to do with the radioactivity of the uranium. The Bob Nichols piece cites research at the end that has no connection whatsoever to the lurid picture he paints of clusters of uranium atoms wreaking havoc by blasting nearby cells with alpha particles. None of the numbers he throws in there are supported by the article; I suspect they come from some other source, probably something by Busby.

The Eubig synopsis of the research points out that this newly-identifying pathway for accumulation of DU in the brain might be an explanation for cognitive impairments measured in people exposed to DU, and this is a result that strongly argues for the curtailment of DU use in weapons. But this damage mechanism is certainly chemical and not radiological. It's not much different from finding that there's a heretofore unexpected way for lead to accumulate in the brain; the fact that uranium experiences radioactive decay is essentially irrelevant, and hyping this as nuclear warfare against exposed populations is unwarranted.

So if the research results do apply to humans (the actual research was performed in rats, and there are good reasons to question whether the same thing happens in humans because of significant differences in the olfactory nerve system in humans - with our weak sense of smell - vs rats), it definitely lends weight to ending the use of DU in weapons. But not because it's radioactive - that's a red herring, and making that the focus of concern only undermines the credibility of the anti-DU movement in the eyes of the scientifically knowledgeable. Sticking to the facts should make the case strongly enough!

3. Thank you for posting this information. And the other thing to consider

Is that what ever material reaches the upper atmosphere of the jet stream is fully dispersed and within five days, is equalized across the globe.

If you put up a spray of 10,000 lbs of cocoa, in five days that cocoa has been equalized across the jet stream and will be drifting down across Antartica and the North Pole

If it is material containing Depleted Uranium, that is now falling back down on the children of every nation in the world.

Several previously rare brain, nervous system and blood stream cancers are becoming increasingly prevalent in children all over, in large part due to the huge amounts of DU used in Serbia, in Iraq and In Afghanistan.
