The military, should NEVER be in control of ANY nuclear weapons program
The 2001 Space Preservation Act, HR 2977 which was introduced by Congressman Dennis Kucinich, let the cat out of the bag and revealed under the "Definitions" in the bill, that directed energy weapons which can target individuals and populations from space for the purposes of psychotronics, mind control, and mood control, are clearly the new space weapons intended to establish global dominance by the New World Order. Directed energy weapons developed in the nuclear weapons labs have been used on nuclear weapons lab whistleblowers, UC students, handed over to the EPA to use on environmentalists, and to the FBI to turn over to local law enforcement. These weapons are now land, air, and sea based. Space is the last frontier.

ADMIRAL BOBBY RAY INMAN – SPOOKS-R-US

Tipped off by a journalist in Washington DC, my investigation of Admiral Bobby Ray Inman revealed that he was THE Admiral at the center of the spider web. A look at his social network (see Namebase.org
opens in new window) helped put the ‘puzzle palace’ together, and I discovered he was National Security Advisor to five Presidents, Director of the NSA, Deputy Director of the CIA under William Casey, Vice Director of the DIA, Director of Naval Intelligence, President of SAIC, Chair of the 1985 Congressional ‘Inman Commission’ on Terrorism, affiliated with the Carlyle Group, on the advisory boards of Tufts and the University of Texas, represents SBC Communications Corporation at Cal Tech, Chairman Dallas Federal Reserve Bank, and a member of both the Council on Foreign Relations and the Trilateral Commission. And, Admiral Bobby Ray Inman is a member of the University of Texas faculty. One could say he is a dangerous man.

..........

In two years Admiral Bobby Ray Inman took over the space program, and in another year from now he will have succeeded in taking over the nuclear weapons program. When Newsweek called him "a superstar in the intelligence community", it was for good reason.

.......

THE COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS AND THE TRILATERAL COMMISSION

The New World Order can be described as a network of members of the Bilderberger Group, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), and the Trilateral Commission. The membership in both the CFR and the Trilateral Commission by Admiral Bobby Ray Inman is of particular interest in light of the developments surrounding control by the military of the US nuclear weapons program and the NASA space program.

4. Testimony of Leuren Moret International Criminal Tribunal Afghanistan
Testimony of Leuren Moret for the
International Criminal Tribunal for Afghanistan
Dec. 13-14, 2003, Tokyo, JAPAN © Leuren Moret
http://afghan-tribunal.3005.net/english/
1. Please tell us your short biography and your present position. I am asking you because you are a witness.

Leuren Moret is an independent scientist and international expert on radiation and public health issues. She is on the organizing committee of the World Committee on Radiation Risk (WCRR), an organization of independent radiation specialists including members of the radiation committee in the EU Parliament - European Committee on Radiation Risk (ECRR). She is an Environmental Commissioner for the City of Berkeley.

Ms. Moret earned her B.S. in Geology at U.C. Davis in 1968, and her M.A. in Near Eastern Studies from U.C. Berkeley in 1978. She has completed all but her dissertation for a PhD. in the Geosciences at U.C. Davis. She has traveled and conducted scientific research in 42 countries.

She wrote a scientific report on depleted uranium for the United Nations subcommission investigating the illegality of depleted uranium munitions. She has been trained on radiation issues by Marion Fulk, a former Manhattan Project Scientist and retired insider at the Livermore Lab who is an expert on radioactive fallout and rainout.

Her investigation of depleted uranium particle size formed under high temperature conditions on the battlefield is a critical depleted uranium issue. The production of particles in very high concentrations and numbers results in the permanent suspension of depleted uranium particulate matter in the atmosphere. This has been ignored, but is a major contributor to adverse health effects caused by DU exposure. http://www.mindfully.org/Nucs/2003/Leuren-Moret-Gen-Groves21feb03.htm>.

Members of the Japanese Parliament opposed to the US war against Iraq have appointed her as their Official Representative in the San Francisco Bay Area where she works closely with Congresswoman Barbara Lee. Her Berkeley Resolution which was passed September 10, 2002, by the first city in the world, calls for a permanent ban on the weaponization of space. She proposed the resolution after learning that lower orbital space is contaminated with uranium and its decay products from atmospheric testing, and burned up nuclear batteries and reactors in spacecraft.

But the real strength of the strike in Venezuela has been in the computers that control the giant and highly automated petroleum industry. Even though the PDVSA is nominally state-owned and run, the computer system is in the hands of the "mixed" (public-private) enterprise Intesa. The party with the technical skill in the partnership is the Science Applications International Corporation, a transnational computing company. Among its directors: ex-U.S. Secretaries of Defense William Perry and Melvin Laird; ex-directors of the CIA John Deutsch and Robert Gates; Admiral Bobby Ray Inman (ex-director of the National Security Agency); other retired military staff including Wayne Downing (former commander-in-chief of U.S. Special Forces) and Jasper Welch (ex-coordinator of the National Security Council).

Inman, who had directed the National Security Administration under President

Carter, said that President Clinton had persuaded him to accept the defense

post during long hours of discussion. The admiral had been deputy director

of the Central Intelligence Agency under President Reagan.

13. Being DIRNSA
has nothing to do with being the National Security Advisor. And he was DIRNSA under for two presidents, not five.

I'm noticing a pattern from your posts.

2. The US has staged four nuclear wars since 1991
more

In 1995 dollars, according to the Department of Energy (DOE) the US spent approximately 300 billion dollars on nuclear weapons research, production, and testing. Today in the nuclear weapons complex there are 10,500 contaminated sites, 2.3 million acres under DOE ownership, and 120 million square feet of buildings. The 1995 high base cost, estimated by the DOE Environmental Management program, to clean up the environmental legacy is $350 billion. That excludes the Nevada Test Site, Hanford, the Savannah and Clinch rivers, and the Columbia river which are considered to be "national sacrifice zones" because the technology does not exist to clean them up.

.........

Admiral Brooks also informed the Board of Regents that "we’re back in the bomb business" because Los Alamos had just produced the first plutonium "pit" since Rocky Flats closed down. He indicated that they would be making "mini-nukes" only, and nuclear weapons testing would start at the Nevada Test Site in 2005. An hour later, and 45 miles away, he announced to Livermore employees that "we’re back in the bomb business" and they would be making big ones, little ones, and more. By this time it seemed to me that Admiral Brooks was a slippery character and I began to wonder why an Admiral was involved.

.......

As Admiral George P. Nanos, Director of the Los Alamos lab (appointed Jan. 2003), and Admiral S. Robert Foley Jr., UC vice president for laboratory management (appointed Nov. 2003), sat down at the table where the Regents waited, I began to wonder how many more Admirals were involved and why. It did not take long to find out. Admiral Foley informed the Regents about the missing CREM, computer storage devices with classified data, and acknowledged that the security lapse damaged the university’s chances of retaining its Los Alamos contract. "This erodes your position, without any question at all. It’s about as bad as it could be when you’re trying to prepare for a re-competition". He announced that Jack Killeen had been appointed to the UC Presidents Office as special assistant for Los Alamos security: "Jack’s our guy, he was with Wackenhut and he’s our guy…". Among lab employees Wackenhut was better known for ‘wacking’ lab whistleblowers like Karen Silkwood, attempting to run people like Dr. Rosalie Bertell off the road, and has a well-deserved reputation for being a nasty outfit. President Bush and his brother, Governor Jeb Bush, are known to spend time together hanging out with cronies at the Wackenhut "country club" in Florida. Admiral Nanos continued and complained that employees would not follow the security and safety rules. When Foley chimed in that there were going to be more security incidents and lapses at the lab in the future before they got it straightened out, it began to look like a setup. Regents Blum, Parsky, Connerly and a few more leaned forward and demanded to know how it was possible, and stated it was unacceptable, that there would be more security lapses. Foley should have been fired on the spot for falling down on the job. It was obvious that Nanos and Foley were there to blame the employees, justify the management change, and discourage the Regents from competing for the contract. And justification for "cleaning house" and removing the "old guard" who would stand in the way of a takeover and for what is planned for ramping up the program.

......

Right after the Regents meeting I contacted a group of students and a Texas State Representative Lon Burnam, opposed to the Univ. of Texas bid for the nuclear weapons management contract. A student told me about FIAT PAX, a website put together by UC Santa Cruz students listing the top 50 University recipients of defense funding for research (see below), and their ties to corporations (see below). The UC Regents with ties to the defense industry were listed with detailed bios. Parsky, the Chair, was the top fundraiser for Bush (after Ken Lay) in both Presidential election bids, and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Vice Chair Blum was tied to the Carlyle Group, invested in URS Corporation (leading contractor with DOD), Korea First Bank , and sits on the Board of Northwest Airlines. Regent Lansing was a trustee of the RAND Graduate School, a branch of the RAND Corporation which had been involved in war-gaming nuclear wars between the US and the USSR, and acts as a bridge between US universities and the military. I also learned that the Carlyle Group managed large amounts of endowment funds for the University of Texas, and that CALPers, the State of California workers pension fund which is the largest in the nation owns 5.2% of Carlyle. FIAT PAX sums it up:

.......

His comments made the link for me between the nuclear weapons program, the Navy, NASA, and other types of directed energy weapons developed in nuclear weapons labs intended for space. Marion Fulk, a former Manhattan Project scientist and retired Livermore nuclear physical chemist told me that nuclear weapons cannot be used in space without contaminating the atmosphere, and laser weapons will not work because there is too much space trash already up there which will impede the effectiveness of the lasers. Wars in space will create more space trash until it is impossible to leave the earth, which already according to Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, is very dangerous now since a paint chip nearly took out the windshield of the space shuttle. The US plans to weaponize space are a violation of the United Nations 1967 Outer Space Treaty: Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies. The intent was "to promote international co-operation in the peaceful exploration and use of outer space" and specifically prohibited the weaponization of space with ANY weapons, including nuclear weapons.

........

under his leadership. SAIC is one of the largest private employee-owned corporations, and like the Carlyle Group, escapes scrutiny (because it is privately owned) despite annual revenues of more than $5.9 billion. In 1990 it was indicted and pled guilty to ten felony counts of fraud on a Superfund site, called "one of the largest of environmental fraud…" in Los Angeles history. DOE contracted SAIC to manage and operate the Yucca Mountain Program, which I worked on as a scientist at the Livermore Lab. I became a whistleblower at Livermore in 1991 because of my knowledge of the extent of science fraud on the most important public works project in US history. SAIC’s control over internet domain names, gained when they purchased Network Solutions Inc., caused a furor and identified the ties in SAIC to "the shadow ruling-class within the Pentagon". Basically SAIC is a private spook corporation, involved in voting machines (SEQUOIA etc.), controlling the internet (Network Solutions), training foreign militaries, and the contractor that set up global communications for the US military. The internet is being changed from a public resource to a lucrative operation influenced by spooks and former Pentagon officials. The internet was a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) project to begin with.

7. INTERNATIONAL PHYSICIANS FOR THE PREVENTION OF NUCLEAR WAR
The long-term effects from over a decade of DU exposures are emerging in Southern Iraq. They are devastating. The increased quantities of radio-active material ( including non-depleted uranium), used in Afghanistan are 3 to 5 times greater than Iraq 199. In Iraq 2003 they are already estimated to be 6 to 10 times 1991 and will travel through a larger area and affect many more people, babies and unborn. Countries within a 1000 mile radius of Baghdad and Kabul are being affected by radiation poisoning , that includes the Capital, New
Delhi, where the ruling elite lives. The reported coming of an AIDS epidemic last year in India , down wind, may have a relationship to DU bombing in Afghanistan. If we think cancer is a problem now wait until more DU is released in wars against terror and for regime change, on mistaken Intelligence reports.

More than 500 tons of DU munitions have been dispensed in Afghanistan. Professor Yagasaki calculated that 800 tons of DU is the atomicity equivalent to 83,000 Nagasaki bombs in a paper presented at the World Uranium Weapons Conference in Hamburg in October 2003 ( 5 months ago ). The amount of DU used in Iraq in 2003 is equivalent to nearly 250,000 Nagasaki bombs ( Busby and Leuren Moret have calculated that 1900 tons of DU is equivalent to 60 TBq of Alfa and Beta particulate activity).

We need not ennumerate the DU munition types used in Iraq 199, Kosovo 1999, Afghanistan 2001-04 and Iraq 2003. They have been dispensed by all air / ground and sea systems on innocent civilians. DU burns intensely and is very hard. It releases Uranium Oxide. The aerosol contains particles of 0.5-5 microns in size, once they are in the air or dust they are inhaled or ingested, including from contaminated soil. Once in the lungs one such particle is equivalent to having one XRay per hour, for life. Because it is impossible to remove, the victim is gradually irradiated. Still births, birth defects, leukemia, damaged central nervous systems and other cancers have been common in children born since 1991. Child leukemia has risen 600 % in areas of Iraq as reported by the Netherland Visie Foundation. Beyond just the health
consequences, DU munitions are in fact, weapons of Silent Mass Destruction in so far as the consequences of their usage are vast, indiscriminate and violate all Human Rights Conventions . Tora Bora , Kabu , Paktia , Karises or underwater supply tunnels have been contaminated forever. All this has been documented in a comprehensive paper  Uranium wars : The Pentagon steps up its use of Radio-active Munitions, by Marc W. Herold to whom this paper owes sincere acknowledgement.

In another paper Dr Mohammed Daud Miraki, Director Afghan DU Recovery Fund, quotes George W Bush , we will smoke them out, condemning the unborn, the living and the future generations of Afghans and the neighbouring people to a pre-determined, death sentence. After the destruction of our village, I realised that the Americans had sentenced us all to death. When I saw my deformed
grandson I realised my hopes for the future have vanished This time we are part of the invisible genocide brought on by America a silent death from which we will not escape ( Jooma Khan of Laghman province..March 2003.) Similar stories are repeated from Paktita province of Jelly Babies. Pregnant women are afraid of giving birthThis is the legacy of US ushered liberation, freedom and democracy. DU is cheap for the US, utilising nuclear waste, cheaper than titanium and tungsten, not for the liberated (non-DU is still cheaper as it is the uranium feedstock, pre-enrichment).

The Uranium Medical Research Center (UMRC), Washington DC, and the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists (1991) - Steve Fetter and Frank Von Hippel have reported on extensive research by Field teams of the UMRC in Afghanistan. Testimonies of fathers and mothers are horrifying  What else do the Americans want ? They killed us , they turned our new-borns into horrific deformations, and they turned our farm lands into grave-yards, and destroyed our homes. On top of all this their planes fly over and spray us with bullets.. we have nothing to lose ..we
will fight them the same way we fought the previous invaders (Sayed Gharib at Tora Bora).

6. Two US Government Whistleblowers Speak
Two US Government Whistleblowers Speak on US's Conventional Radiation Weapons
Date Thursday, January 23 @ 04:38:10
Topic Anti-War Campaign


Doug Rokke, formerly in charge of the US Army's unit that was responsible for cleaning up Depleted Uranium (DU) after the last Gulf War, and Leuren Moret, a whistleblower from Lawrence Livermore's nuclear weapons labs, are coming to Pittsburgh at great risk to tell us what they know.

A film both of them took leading responsibilities for making possible, Martin Meissonnier's "The Invisible War: Depleted Uranium", has been obtained by Z Films directly from France as it is strangely unavailable in the US. The film has been screened in various Pittsburgh neighborhoods but will be screened at Carnegie Mellon with Q&A from Doug Rokke:
Saturday, January 25: 6 pm, McConomy Auditorium
(Carnegie Mellon's University Center - 5000 Forbes Ave - map)
Q&A at 7 pm

Doug Rokke and Leuren Moret will lecture together the next day:
Sunday, January 26: 10 am, Porter Hall 125C US PREMIERE of the European Parliament report on the public health effects of low level radiation (presented by Doug and Leuren)
(Carnegie Mellon - near Flag Staff Hill, map)
News Item - 'Study Cites Health Woes of WTC Workers'
New Download
Download a de-classified memo from 1943 on considering radioactive dust as a special weapon

Every member of Doug Rokke's unit is either dead from radiation or very sick. Doug has suffered for speaking out, and is making a tour of the mid-West and North-Eastern United States to tell people about what the US and UK are insisting on doing every time they bomb Iraq.

DU Likely Exposure map

What is Depleted Uranium:
Depleted uranium is a very effective munition, however it is a chemically toxic and radioactive heavy metal nearly twice as dense as lead. DU is primarily an alpha emitter with a half-life of 4.5 billion years.

Where has DU been Used :
DU was first used During the 1991 Gulf War and was later used in Kosovo, Afghanistan, and is currently being used as the Gulf War continues in Iraq today.

How to Identify DU Bullets:
The A-10 fires a 30mm round about the size and shape of a cigar. The Harrier jets fire a slightly smaller 25mm round. These rounds are essentially solid DU. Since approximately 25 percent of DU rounds fired from aircraft hit the intended target, many DU rounds may be found in or near target vehicles or equipment, on the soil surface,
or buried under the soil surface. These rounds may be slightly deformed from impact. They may be covered in a black uranium dust, as DU rounds corrode over time. Intact DU rounds have a radioactivity of approximately 200 mrem/hour, which can be detected through use of radiation detection devices.

How to Identify DU Contamination:
When a DU round impacts a target, between 10 and 70% of the mass of the round burns, releasing an extremely fine uranium dust. Most of this dust is respirable in size
(less than 5 microns) and insoluble. The presence of black DU dust and entry holes on the outside of a vehicle are telltale signs of a DU impact. In the event a DU impact causes an explosion or fire, it may be more difficult to identify DU contamination in and around a vehicle. Over time, wind, water, and human contact may resuspend or scatter DU dust from the surface of a vehicle, further impeding identification efforts. The only positive way to identify DU contamination is to survey equipment and soil with radiation detection devices capable of detecting alpha radiation.

How to Avoid Exposure:
Since there is so little known about DU it is hard to say for sure how to completely protect yourself without the proper gear, but to start with stay away from any vehicle, equipment, or structure which you believe may have been hit by DU rounds or Tomahawk cruise missiles. Do not pick up or collect DU rounds found lying on the ground. Inform NATO forces and/or relief workers (in writing, if possible) you suspect DU contamination of an area, and mark the area as potentially contaminated. If you are in a potentially contaminated area (such as near destroyed tanks), wear respiratory protection and gloves at a minimum, and adhere to good personal hygiene (wash frequently). Visually examine clothing and skin for deposition of black DU dust and decontaminate as needed. If you suspect you were exposed to DU dust or fragments, contact a physician or relief worker and arrange for a 24-hour urine test to be analyzed for U-238, U-235, U-234, and creatinine.

17. For as long as a corrupt phalange exists in the Pentagon,
in the UK's Ministry of Defence and in military admin of NATO and UN, travesties of justice such as the 9/11 cover up happen. Those in charge of whitewashing the whitewash are merely paid apparatchiks of the US oil industry and Nazi-era felons who are still alive today and blatantly promote their self-interests by hiring easily blackmailable felons such as Bush 2/Cheney and Blair.

A huge core of evidence exists that this inner military circle which ruthlessly promotes its own corrupt puppets into public office is a paedophile organisation closely linked to the corrupt masonic P2 Lodge - itself a proven paedophile club - and financed by drug cartels operated by the CIA and MI6.

The military, should NEVER be in control of ANY nuclear weapons program, it should ALWAYS be in civilian hands. And the Carlyle Group, a private corporation with vested interests and ties to oil companies, has NEVER been investigated or subjected to ANY oversight whatsoever, and for that reason should not have any control or influence over US nuclear weapons policy and development. Admiral Bobby Ray Inman and his associates in the intelligence business have demonstrated their systematic abuse of the internet, voting machines, and American civil liberties. Should we give them the trigger, the nukes, the budget they want, and the cover of secrecy? I don’t think so.

19. Washington's secret nuclear war
By Shaheen Chughtai

Tuesday 14 September 2004, 22:17 Makka Time, 19:17 GMT

The US has dropped tonnes of depleted uranium on Iraq

Illegal weapons of mass destruction have not only been found in Iraq but have been used against Iraqis and have even killed US troops.

But Washington and its allies have tried to cover up this outrage because the chief culprit is the US itself, argue American and other experts trying to expose what they say is a war crime.

The WMD in question is depleted uranium (DU). A radioactive by-product of uranium enrichment, DU is used to coat ammunition such as tank shells and "bunker busting" missiles because its density makes it ideal for piercing armour.

Thousands of DU shells and bombs have been used in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and - both during the 1990-91 Gulf war and the ongoing conflict - in Iraq.


"They're using it now, they're using it in Falluja, Baghdad is chock-a-block with DU - it's all over the place," says Major Doug Rokke, director of the US army's DU project in 1994-95.
