The bXb Zone Radio Show, now in its 10th year, deals in the world of the paranormal and the science of parapsychology, government conspiracies and cover-ups. Just prior to the 2004 US Presidential elections, McConnell asked US Presidential and US Congressional candidates that if elected, bwould they see to the release of all government presently being held on UFOs?b All candidates said yes, but none of them were elected. The showbs interest in Depleted Uranium started a few short weeks ago when a listener sent McConnell internet images of what the listener believed was an balien baby.b The alien baby turned out to be a child suffering from the effects of Depleted Uranium. McConnellbs subsequent investigation into Depleted Uranium and the effects that these weapons of mass destruction are having on the world today, including the long term effects on the world and her inhabitants were shocking and are a crime against humanity. bI knew that as a broadcaster and a member of the media, that this is a story that has to be told,b said McConnell. bThe stories and the efforts of the people who are desperately trying to make a difference b& doing their part to save the world and humanity, and bring the parties responsible for this atrocity to justice, deserve our time, attention and support.b McConnellbs guest list for his DU (Depleted Uranium) Special includes international experts and speakers: Bob Nichols - Writer, Project Censored Award Winner.

Her husband, Captain Terry Riordan, was internally contaminated by ceramic uranium oxide gas and dust in the First Gulf War. Terry died in 1996. 12,000,000 pounds of Uranium weapons [Ramsey Clark number.] later Susan asks the American Generals "Why are you doing this? It is insane!" British and American coalition forces were using depleted uranium (DU) shells in the war against Iraq and deliberately flouting a United Nations resolution which classifies the munitions as illegal weapons of mass destruction. DU contaminates land, causes ill-health and cancers among the soldiers using the weapons, the armies they target and civilians, leading to birth defects in children. Professor Doug Rokke, ex-director of the Pentagon's depleted uranium project -- a former professor of environmental science at Jacksonville University and onetime US army colonel who was tasked by the US department of defence with the post-first Gulf war depleted uranium desert clean-up -- said use of DU was a 'war crime'. According to a August 2002 report by the UN subcommission, laws which are breached by the use of DU shells include: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; the Charter of the United Nations; the Genocide Convention; the Convention Against Torture; the four Geneva Conventions of 1949; the Conventional Weapons Convention of 1980; and the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907, which expressly forbid employing 'poison or poisoned weapons' and 'arms, projectiles or materials calculated to cause unnecessary suffering'. All of these laws are designed to spare civilians from unwarranted suffering in armed conflicts. DU has been blamed for the effects of Gulf war syndrome -- typified by chronic muscle and joint pain, fatigue and memory loss -- among 200,000 US soldiers after the 1991 conflict. It is also cited as the most likely cause of the 'increased number of birth deformities and cancer in Iraq' following the first Gulf war. 'Cancer appears to have increased between seven and 10 times and deformities between four and six times,' according to the UN subcommission. The Pentagon has admitted that 320 metric tons of DU were left on the battlefield after the first Gulf war, although Russian military experts say 1000 metric tons is a more accurate figure. In 1991, the Allies fired 944,000 DU rounds or some 2700 tons of DU tipped bombs. A UK Atomic Energy Authority report said that some 500,000 people would die before the end of this century, due to radioactive debris left in the desert. The use of DU has also led to birth defects in the children of Allied veterans and is believed to be the cause of the 'worrying number of anophthalmos cases -- babies born without eyes' in Iraq. Only one in 50 million births should be anophthalmic, yet one Baghdad hospital had eight cases in just two years. Seven of the fathers had been exposed to American DU anti-tank rounds in 1991. There have also been cases of Iraqi babies born without the crowns of their skulls, a deformity also linked to DU shelling. A study of Gulf war veterans showed that 67% had children with severe illnesses, missing eyes, blood infections, respiratory problems and fused fingers.
