The other difficult thing to figure out is the US gov's push to dispose of radioactive waste by putting it into products. This alarm must be an example of this (the good outdoes the bad: radioactive waste is being 'disposed' of). I've heard that the biggest reason for the irradiation push was to use up radioactive waste. Now we are hearing that many of the shells dropped in yugoslovia and Afghanistan were radioacitve, made of old plutonoium ie Throwing our radioactive waste all over someone else's country///'Depleted Uranium' they call it and, Yes, Allan, it's happening. A lot of DU stuff was used in the Kosovo conflict, quite possibly it is being used in bombs and missiles falling on Iraq now in the 'no fly' zone so assiduously defended by the US and the Brits.. Also I am given to understand there are 'No Go' radiation areas in some US and allied cemeteries around the graves of soldiers who have died since being involved in Desert Storm.
Is this a green-lit fantasy, or is this what's happening?
Of course this is stuff we will rarely if ever read about or see in the mainstream media which is why it is so important to keep up with world news using other channels such as independent stations and papers and magazines of which GlobalNews is an excellent example. Unfortunately, until the bombs begin bouncing through their roofs or the SWAT teams through their front doors, the majority of people are not interested enough to turn away from their '494 stations from around the Worrrrrrrld on Your PayTeeVee Sets' to find out what's really happening 'out there'.
February 15th is an ultra-important date in the ongoing tragedy of Planet Earth. It is probably one of the very few chances We the People will have to stop the war happening. If not the only chance. There will be a rally near you. Please go to it.
