NEW ERIC BLUMRICH FLASH VIDEO EXPOSES SECRET U.S. NUCLEAR WARS

Go to http://www.kucinich.us/dkdu.html to see a brilliant new animation by Eric Blumrich on the U.S. military’s use of munitions containing radioactive depleted uranium (DU). Congressman Kucinich is holding a press conference today at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign to detail little-known information about the nuclear content and life-threatening effects of U.S. munitions that are being used in Iraq and Afghanistan and which have been used in other military conflicts beginning with the 1991 Gulf War. Joining Kucinich will be Dr. Doug Rokke, PhD, retired Army combat officer, and one of the world's leading experts on the use of munitions containing radioactive depleted uranium.

Please see complete press release
http://kucinich.us/pressreleases/pr_031404.php


Kucinich is expected to discuss the devastating health consequences suffered by American servicemen and women and their families and by civilians in Iraq, Afghanistan, Kosovo, Serbia, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and elsewhere because of DU munitions used by the U.S. and other nations.

Kucinich is also expected to outline a plan to provide medical testing and care to all military personnel, veterans and others who have been exposed, as well as demand that the U.S. and other responsible governments perform complete environmental remediation wherever military forces have used DU munitions.

"Depleted uranium weapons are an unacceptable threat to life, a violation of international law, and an assault on human dignity," says Kucinich.

1. sorry redqueen...missed that you had posted this already

it is so powerful.....

[redqueen]

2. Oh no no no

Please don't apologize. I posted the press release. I like that in this thread you bring attention to the Eric Blumrich animation.

Thanks for posting a thread solely about that flash! This is such an important subject. :D

[Desertrose]

3. It really knocked my socks off..well my sandals...

gave me goosebumps altho the images were so sad and disturbing.....


Damn...we gotta make sure Dennis is able to keep speaking out...I don't know how ANYONE can watch this flash video and not want to do whatever it takes to stop using this hideous stuff...on other human beings!!!!!


:hug: redqueen

Peace

[redqueen]

5. It is really terrifying to think that this is being hushed up

I agree that we need to stay on top of this stuff just as we are with land mines.

:hug: Desertrose

PEACE!

8. yes that flash is worth watching and passing on

thanks.


DK does it again

[no name no slogan]

4. My God, how could ANYBODY support DU weapons?

The images are horrible, but the statistics are even worse.

Did you know that over 10,000 Gulf War veterans have died since the end of the conflict? Add that to the birth defects, radiation poisoning, and contaminated environment, and you've got a disaster of possibly global proportions awaiting us.

I sure as hell hope that Kerry (IF he wins) will put an end to DU munitions. Unfortunately, I don't see that happenning anytime soon.

But still we have to keep pressing this issue-- no matter WHO is president.

[redqueen]

6. You're right

No matter who the president is, we can't afford to be complacent.

:kick:

7. Don't worry, if this thread sticks around...

...you'll get to see Democratic Undergounds own DU appologist rear his head and explain very patronizingly how no one but them knows anything at all about DU, and it's really okly-dokley! :eyes:

[goodhue]

9. very powerful indeed

[ThirdWheelLegend]

10. This needs to stay on the front page...Has Kerry addressed this?

KICK

The US has been doing this for over 10 years. It should be known to all that not only are we in an illegal war, but we are using ILLEGAL weapons(and we search for WMD?). This is disgusting and criminal.

Has John Kerry addressed this and will he stop the use of DU when he continues Bush's illegal war?

TWL

[revcarol]

14. And Concord, Mass. is involved!!

How can Kerry NOT know about this?

YOUR TAX DOLLARS AT WORK

The terrible incidence of childhood leukemia in Iraq has been laid squarely at the foot of DU munitions used in Iraq I.

[ThirdWheelLegend]

11. kick for the day crowd

[redqueen]

12. I hope people are watching this n/t

[no name no slogan]

13. Me too, here's another kick (nt)

[Zomby Woof]
