Depleted Uranium Measured in British Atmosphere from
Battlefields in the Middle East

"Did the use of Uranium weapons in Gulf War II result in contamination
of Europe? Evidence from the measurements of the Atomic Weapons
Establishment (AWE), Aldermaston, Berkshire, UK," reported the Sunday
Times Online (February 19, 2006) in a shocking scientific study authored
by British scientists Dr. Chris Busby and Saoirse Morgan.
The highest levels of depleted uranium ever measured in the atmosphere
in Britain, were transported on air currents from the Middle East and
Central Asia; of special significance were those from the Tora Bora
bombing in Afghanistan in 2001, and the "Shock & Awe" bombing during
Gulf War II in Iraq in 2003.
Out of concern for the public, the official British government air
monitoring facility, known as the Atomic Weapons Establishment (AWE), at
Aldermaston, was established years ago to measure radioactive emissions
from British nuclear power plants and atomic weapons facilities.
The British government facility (AWE) was taken over 3 years ago by
Halliburton, which refused at first to release air monitoring data to
Dr. Busby, as required by law.
An international expert on low level radiation, Busby serves as an
official advisor on several British government committees, and co-
authored an independent report on low level radiation with 45
scientists, the European Committee on Radiation Risk (ECRR), for the
European Parliament. He was able to get Aldermaston air monitoring data
from Halliburton /AWE by filing a Freedom of Information request using a
new British law which became effective January 1, 2005; but the data for
2003 was missing. He obtained the 2003 data from the Defence Procurement
Agency.
The fact that the air monitoring data was circulated by Halliburton/ AWE
to the Defence Procurement Agency, implies that it was considered to be
relevant, and that Dr. Busby was stonewalled because Halliburton/ AWE
clearly recognized that it was a serious enough matter to justify a
government interpretation of the results, and official decisions had to
be made about what the data would show and its political implications
for the military.
In a similar circumstance, in 1992, Major Doug Rokke, the Director of
the U.S. Army Depleted Uranium Cleanup Project after Gulf War I, was
ordered by a U.S. Army General officer to write a no-bid contract
"Depleted Uranium, Contaminated Equipment, and Facilities Recovery Plan
Outline" for the procedures for cleaning up Kuwait, including depleted
uranium, for Kellogg, Brown and Root (KBR), a subsidiary of Halliburton.
The contract/proposal was passed through Madeleine Albright, the
Secretary of State, to the Emirate of Kuwait, who considered the terms
and then hired KBR for the cleanup.
Aldermaston is one of many nuclear facilities throughout Europe that
regularly monitor atmospheric radiation levels, transported by
atmospheric sand and dust storms, or air currents, from radiation
sources in North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia.
After the "Shock and Awe" campaign in Iraq in 2003, very fine particles
of depleted uranium were captured with larger sand and dust particles in
filters in Britain.
These particles traveled in 7-9 days from Iraqi battlefields as far as
2400 miles away.
The radiation measured in the atmosphere quadrupled within a few weeks
after the beginning of the 2003 campaign, and at one of the 5 monitoring
locations, the levels twice required an official alert to the British
Environment Agency.
In addition to depleted uranium data gathered in previous studies on
Kosovo and Bosnia by Dr. Busby, the Aldermaston air monitoring data
provided a continuous record of depleted uranium levels in Britain from
the other recent wars.
Extensive video news footage of the 2003 Iraq war, including Fallujah in
2004, provided irrefutable documented evidence that the US has
unethically and illegally used depleted uranium munitions on cities and
other civilian populations.
These military actions are in direct violation of not only the
international conventions, but also violate US military law because the
US is a signatory to The Hague and Geneva Conventions and the 1925
Geneva Gas Protocol.

Depleted uranium weaponry meets the definition of a Weapon of Mass
Destruction (WMD) in two out of three categories under US Code TITLE 50,
CHAPTER 40 Sec. 2302 [at right].
After action mandates have also been violated such as US Army Regulation
AR 700-48 and TB 9-1300-278 which requires treatment of radiation
poisoning for all casualties, including enemy soldiers and civilians,
and remediation.
Dr. Busby's request for this data through Halliburton from AWE, and
subsequently provided by the Defence Procurement Agency, was necessary
to establish verification of Iraq's 2003 depleted uranium levels in the
atmosphere.
These facts demonstrate why Halliburton (AWE) refused to release the
2003 data to him, and it obviously establishes that weaponized depleted
uranium is an indiscriminate weapon being distributed all over the world
in a very short period of time, immediately after its use.
The recent documentary film BEYOND TREASON details the horrific effects
of depleted uranium exposure on American troops and Iraqi civilians in
the Gulf region in 1991; not to speak of those civilians continuing to
live in permanently contaminated and thus uninhabitable regions.
Global increases since 1991 of melanoma, infant mortality, and frog die-
offs can only be explained by an environmental contaminant. Alarming
global increases in diabetes, with high correlation to depleted uranium
wars in Iraq, Bosnia/Kosovo, and Afghanistan, demonstrate that diabetes
is a sensitive indicator and a rapid response to internal depleted
uranium exposure.
Americans in 2003 reported visiting Iraqi relatives in Baghdad who were
suffering from an epidemic of diabetes.
After returning to the US following 2-3 weeks in Iraq, they discovered
within a few months that they too had diabetes.
Japanese human shields and journalists who worked in Iraq during the
2003 war are sick and now have symptoms typical of depleted uranium
exposure.
Likewise, after the US Navy, several years ago, moved depleted uranium
bombing and gunnery ranges from Vieques Island in Puerto Rico to
Australia, health effects there are already being reported.
The documentary film BLOWIN' IN THE WIND, has an interview with a family
with two normal teenage daughters, living near the bombing range where
depleted uranium weaponry is now being used.
The parents showed photos of their baby born recently with severe birth
defects. The baby looked like Iraqi deformed babies, and like many of
the Iraqi babies, died 5 days after birth.
Other than anonymous British government officials denying that Iraq was
the source of the depleted uranium measured at Aldermaston by AWE, and
some unnamed 'establishment scientists' blaming it on local sources or
natural uranium in the Iraq environment, there is no one, as of this
writing, willing to lend their name or office to refuting this damning
evidence reported by Dr. Busby.
All of the anonymous statements used by the media thus far are
contradicted by the factual evidence found in the filters, which was all
transported from the same region.
The natural abundance of uranium in the crust of the earth is 2.4 parts
per million, which would not become concentrated to the high levels
measured in Britain during a long journey from the Middle East. These
particles traveling over thousands of miles would dilute the
concentration rather than increase it.
There are no known natural uranium deposits in Iraq which make it
impossible for these anonymous claims to have scientific credibility.
Unnamed government sources blamed local sources in Britain such as
nuclear power plants; however that would also leave evidence of fission
products in the filters which were not in evidence.
The lowest levels measured at monitoring stations around Aldermaston
were at the facility, which means it could not be a possible source.
Atomic weapons facilities would be more likely to produce plutonium
contamination, also not reported as a co-contaminant at Aldermaston.
In other words, all factual evidence considered, the question must be
asked, what were the media's anonymous experts and government officials
basing their claims on?
Dr. Keith Baverstock exposed a World Health Organization (WHO) cover-up
on depleted uranium in an Aljazeera article, "Washington's Secret
Nuclear War" posted on September 14, 2004. It was the most popular
article ever posted on the Aljazeera English language website.

Radiological toxicity of DU
K. BAVERSTOCK, C. MOTHERSILL & M. THORNE
Repressed WHO Document 5nov01
Baverstock leaked an official WHO report that he wrote, to the media
several years ago after the WHO refused to publish it. He warned in the
report about the mobility of, and environmental contamination from, tiny
depleted uranium particles formed from US munitions.
Busby's ECRR report challenged the International Committee on Radiation
Protection (ICRP) standards for radiation risk, and reported that the
mutagenic effects of radiation determined by Chernobyl studies are
actually 1000 times higher than the ICRP risk model predicts.
The ECRR report also establishes that the ICRP risk model, based on
external exposure of Hiroshima and Nagasaki victims, and the ECRR risk
model, based on internal exposure, are mutually exclusive models. In
other words, the ICRP risk model based on external exposure cannot be
used to estimate internal exposure risk.
The report also states that a separate study is needed for depleted
uranium exposure risks, because it may be far more toxic than nuclear
weapons or nuclear power plant exposures. In July of 2005, the National
Academy of Sciences reported in their new BEIR VII report on low level
radiation, that there is "no safe level of exposure".
The report also finally admitted that very low levels are more harmful
per unit of radiation than higher levels of exposure, also known as the
"supralinear" effect.
This is extremely alarming information on low level radiation risk,
since the AWE data from Aldermaston confirms that rapid global transport
of depleted uranium dust is occurring.
Dr. Katsuma Yagasaki, a Japanese physicist at the University of the
Ryukyus in Okinawa, has estimated that the atomicity equivalent of at
least 400,000 Nagasaki bombs has been released into the global
atmosphere since 1991, from the use of depleted uranium munitions.
It is completely mixed in the atmosphere in one year. The "smog of war"
from Gulf War I was found in glaciers and ice sheets globally a year
later.
Even more alarming is the non-specific catalytic or enzyme effect from
internal exposures to nanoparticles of depleted uranium. Soldiers on
depleted uranium battlefields have reported that, after noticing a
metallic taste in their mouths, within 24-48 hours of exposure they
became sick with Gulf War syndrome symptoms.
Who is profiting from this global uranium nightmare? Dr. Jay Gould
revealed in his book THE ENEMY WITHIN [see excerpt], that the British
Royal family privately owns investments in uranium holdings worth over
$6 billion through Rio Tinto Mines.
The mining company was formed for the British Royal family in the late
1950's by Roland Walter "Tiny" Rowland, the Queen's buccaneer.
Born in 1917 through illegitimate German parentage, and before changing
his name, Roland Walter Fuhrhop was a passionate member of the Nazi
youth movement by 1933, and a classmate described him as "...an ardent
supporter of Hitler and an arrogant, nasty piece of work to boot."
His meteoric rise and protection by intel agencies and the British Crown
are an indication of what an asset he has been for decades to the Queen,
as Africa's most powerful Western businessman.
Africa and Australia are two of the main sources of uranium in the
world. The Rothschilds control uranium supplies and prices globally, and
one serves as the Queen's business manager.
Filmmaker David Bradbury made BLOWIN' IN THE WIND to expose depleted
uranium bombing and gunnery range activities contaminating pristine
areas of eastern Australia, and to expose plans to extract over $36
billion in uranium from mines in the interior over the next 6 years.
Halliburton has finished construction of a 1000 mile railway from the
mining area to a port on the north coast of Australia to transport the
ore.

The Queen's favorite American buccaneers, Cheney, Halliburton, and the
Bush family, are tied to her through uranium mining and the shared use
of illegal depleted uranium munitions in the Middle East, Central Asia
and Kosovo/Bosnia.
The major roles that such diverse individuals and groups as the Carlyle
Group, George Herbert Walker Bush, former Carlyle CEO Frank Calucci, the
University of California managed nuclear weapons labs at Los Alamos and
Livermore, and US and international pension fund investments have played
in proliferating depleted uranium weapons is not well known or in most
instances even recognized, inside or outside the country.
God Save The Queen from the guilt of her complicity in turning Planet
Earth into a "Death Star."
