As we sink into yet another war we clearly see that no matter what the consequences the US, UK and other NATO forces are increasing their activity overhead Libya all in the name of “Geo Poltics & Oil.”
Up to yesterday it was estimated that around 140 cruise missiles alone have been fired off in Libya which basically means that over 50,400 kg’s of depleted uranium has been dumped in the atmosphere over Libya. This does not take into account the missiles, bunker busters and JDAM bombs that have been used since the last count.
The radioactive nanoparticles from these weapons have already started their indiscriminate journey to neighboring countries, the European Union and the world beyond.
One has to understand that these illegal WMD’s are being fired from US, UK and NATO vessels and aircraft and are in total violation of many aspects of the Geneva Convention.
I was shocked to hear the Minister of Defence, Liam Fox state on TV that these were specialist weapons designed to reduce harm to civilians and to minimise collateral damage……how far from the truth is this man prepared to go.
Let me again remind him of his own MoD letterheaded response that he made to the Scottish MP – Dr Bill Wilson:
To
Dr Bill Wilson MSP
The Scottish Parliament

EH991SP
Our ref: D/S of S/LF MC00767/2011
You ref: RES/BW 080211
February 2011
Thank you for your letter of 8 February about the health of Service personnel and civilians exposed to Depleted Uranium (DU), and for the list of reference material.
I remain very conscious many people are concerned there is a link between the use of DU ammunition and medical problems such as cancers and birth defects. This is an issue taken very seriously by the Ministry of Defence (MOD). The cases of illness reported in places such as Iraq are extremely distressing especially when they affect children. However, I must stress that DU has not been shown to present the health or environmental risks suggested. None of the inquiries to date, including those quoted in your letter, has documented long-term health or environmental effects attributable to DU munitions.
On the basis of reports by the Royal Society and others, the MOD does not consider DU is 'safe'. It is hazardous {making the accepted health and safety distinction here between a hazard and a risk). As a heavy metal (like lead), and with radioactive properties, DU use, storage, handling, and environmental considerations are governed by the Radioactive Substance Act 1993 and the Ionising Radiation Regulations Act that came into effect on 1 January 2000. These are part of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 enforced by the Health and Safety Executive.
The precautionary principle you advocate is manifest in our approach to managing risk on the balance of likelihood and consequences.
On the issue of Service personnel health we have conducted several investigations into the effects of DU. Some 3,400 Service personnel attended the Gulf Veterans' Medical Assessment Programme under which no evidence of ill-health due to DU exposure has been found.
The UN General Assembly draft resolution you refer to calls for action by the Secretary-General and UN member states based on the alleged harmful effects of the use of DU munitions on health and the environment, The UK does not support resolutions that presuppose DU is harmful.
The draft resolution requests states that have used DU in armed conflict to provide information about its use. I hope you will be reassured to know the UK has already provided details of this nature to inform studies and the work of the UN, but it is up to each state to provide data at such a time and in such a manner as it deems appropriate.
Te Government's policy remains that DU can be used within weapons; it is not prohibited under current or likely future international agreements. UK armed forces use DU munitions in accordance with international humanitarian law. It would be quite wrong to deny our serving personnel a legitimate capability.
I hope this information is useful to you
THE RT HON DR LIAM FOX MP
I still find it incredible that Liam Fox has absolutely no idea of what he his committing our forces too……despite all the evidence provided to him he still maintains a stance that although he his aware of the dangers of DU he refuses to accept the consequences. Make no bones about it, this man is putting all of our military serving in Afghanistan and now Libya in grave danger of becoming contaminated by radiation from our own coalition forces weapons…….this adds new dementia to the term “Friendly Fire”!!!!!
One other observation I have made since this conflict started was the way the BBC and Sky News allows it reporters to enter highly contaminated areas to cover the latest news. We saw reporters standing alongside tanks that had been hit by armour piercing weapons (DU) and also in the Naval Military Facility that had been hit by a cruise missile and many other contaminated locations. This certainly shows their duty of care towards their reporters.
Whilst on the topic of reporters, I have yet to see a balanced report coming out of Libya from the above two companies….it is obvious that once again we see media censorship!!
To continue to use WMD’s having been informed of the dangers constitutes as being a war crime and I am sure that Liam Fox will be pursued at a later date.
Back to the situation in Libya……we can see some fractures appearing in the armour of NATO with the United States wishing to step down as the Commander in Chief of this conflict and one can clearly see that no one wants’ to take the lead. However, whoever take the lead will still have to answer to the US, who very forcibly controls the situation.
There is also unrest within the Arab League despite the cover up by our Prime Minister, David Cameron……it is clear that this has now gone well beyond a No-Fly-Zone and I am sure that when the adjacent countries succumb to the contamination from the US/UK/EU weapons they will realize that in offering their initial support for this strike, they themselves have also become a victim.
It is only a matter of time before another NATO aircraft is downed in Libya as they have no ground troops in situ. The wording of the UN Resolution, that they so carefully manipulated, must certainly be hurting them. The F15E that came down the other day gave the crew another opportunity to fight another day……they were extremely lucky.
This aircraft had a total flame out and stalled vertically into the ground. Details of the aircraft was that it was a USAF F15e Strike Eagle with a tail number of 91-0304 and with the tail ID of LN……this makes it belonging to 492nd Fighter Squadron belonging to the 48th Fighter Wing based at RAF Lakenheath, Suffolk, England.
Here is a picture of the actual aircraft prior to its accident and the pitiful picture of its demise in the picture below:
The latest technology in the form of the actual aircraft involved in the accident.
The demise of the same aircraft as shown above, in a field in Libya.
The aircraft was still carrying some of its weapons load which was an AIM120C missile.
The AIM-120C missile is the latest Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air Missile
(AM RAAM) variant and is reprogrammable. Some parts of the aircraft were still visually intact and certainly the missile was in very good condition……..one can fully understand why the US were very keen to bomb the wreckage to make sure nothing could be recovered.
What I find incredible is the fact that the daily budget for the UK alone is well in access of £2 million and this will rise as the missions continue and back up forces are re located into the area…….what the US, UK and NATO forces are not telling you is the fact that Special Forces are operating behind enemy lines acting as liaison for potential targets and also to assist the rebels in their goals………it is very clear that all of the above activities fall well outside of the UN Resolution remit.
I have decided to now provide you with the latest low level wind chart for the region:
One can see in this chart that the radioactive nanoparticles head off to the west and west northwest with the countries of Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Spain and Portugal taking the heaviest concentrations before heading off over the Atlantic and then swinging back in over the UK, Scandinavia and Europe and the rest of the world.
We can clearly see that the UK and NATO - EU will be actually nuking themselves in this continuous bombardment of Libya with WMD weapons……..does anyone fully understand what is going on out there?.......do anyone care for their own families, their children and especially the little ones and the unborn fetus that will become the victim of these evil weapons?.......I want you all to picture, yet again the effects of these weapons on innocent civilians, children, babies and the unborn fetus…….maybe you will all eventually get the message, maybe not?….for my part all I can do is attempt to educate you all via this media, TV and radio….the rest is up to you.
