Nuclear Holocaust and The Politics of Radiation (tags)
This event featured three speakers: Doug Rokke, a Vietnam and Gulf War I Veteran and the Army's expert on depleted uranium; Leuren Moret, a whistle-blower from Livermore National Laboratory, expert lecturer on the health effects of depleted uranium; and Veteran Staff Sergeant Dennis Kyne who served as an Army medic during Gulf War I. Because they speak out about depleted uranium (DU), all three of these people are constantly harassed by the US government and its agents. Both Rokke and Kyne are in extremely serious medical condition because of their exposure to depleted uranium and other toxicants that the military tells our valiant warriors are safe. You may listen to all three lectures on Mindfully.org by clicking on the appropriate link below. Rokke's and Moret's have been transcribed. If you have time, please help us by transcribing Dennis Kyne's lecture and we will post it.

this article is disturbing; furthermore, there is no such thing as a "save" level of ionizing radiotion exposure and any statement or claim to the contrary is a flat-out lie. Don't take my word for it. Look at what John W. Gofman, M.D., Ph.D has written -- he is one of the founding fathers of nuclear physics and medicine, an old "cold warrier" that has come out in the open with truth ... he is the Professor Emeritus of Molecular and Cell Biology at the University of California (Berkeley) and former Associate Director of the Livermore National Laboratory (1 of our countries two leading labs for nuclear weapons development), and author of four scholarly books on radiation health effects. So please, all you fucking trolls out here .. get a grip... this is real science and for once, put your body before your distorted idea of what is love of country -
