Breathing radioactivity under bankers' rule

Uranium-238 Dumped in Lake Superior...
Just the Icing On the (Yellow) Cake

Uranium-238, the primary component of what is often called "Depleted Uranium," has been dumped, fired, burned, and/or exploded all over the US and in many US waters and our oceans, too. The following article brings to our attention the issue of the dumping of Depleted Uranium into a major US lake. But the sad truth is that this story is merely the "icing on the cake" of the entire US Radiation Nightmare as it exists today. Yet what makes this article so very special is the simple fact that it's quite rare that such information is covered by the US mainstream media at all. Uranium weapons use in the US has a rich history of deception and cover-up. Many people simply have no idea whatsoever that Uranium-238 in munitions is still, to this day, not "just" being dumped, produced, and manufactured, but it's also being fired and exploded in the open air in several states, such as California, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, Alaska, and Maryland. Admittedly, while we can certainly not "un-do" decades of toxic and radioactive Uranium pollution and contamination in every one of our states, the more "mainstream" this news becomes, the more quickly the American public will begin to demand a swift and total end to *all* use of Uranium... and a complete and thorough remediation of all affected lands and bodies of water. I say this often, almost as if an automatic refrain ... and then I pause, realizing I can not simply just stop right there if I am going to tell the entire truth. The sad and candid reality is that it is simply not ever going to be possible to clean up all of the air, water, and soils that have been radioactively contaminated, as these invisible radioactive particles travel widely and are spread easily through water, air, and the earth... throughout our entire environment. Man-made, health-destroying, ionizing radioactivity is everywhere. It is in everything.. . in all of the air, water, and soil throughout the US. There is no escaping radioactivity in America today. We can not move to any state in the US and think we are "safe" there just because our state does not have Uranium munitions "testing," nuclear reactors, Uranium enrichment, Plutonium-processing plants, or just because no Uranium weapons productions "research" or mining or production or manufacturing or dumping or burning or exploding is taking place there. From the start of the Manhattan Project in the early 1940s - which resulted not "just" in the production of nuclear bombs but also in thousands of open air, radiological so-called "tests" (both large and smaller) still conducted to this very day, the entire American environment has been bombarded continuously with radioactive particles that will be with us for what is, quite literally, an eternity. And while we can not un-do the past... what we *can* do is to now demand, in our loudest, most passionate, collecti vely assertive, unified voices: Americans say NO MORE to man-made, ionizing radiation! We can - and we must - now stand up and publicly exclaim: Americans say NO MORE to nuclear reactors! No more to Uranium weapons! As the Native American communities have been wisely, knowingly proclaiming for many years: Leave that deadly Uranium underground - where it belongs! We need to adopt a no nonsense, zero tolerance for the dirty practices of removing Uranium from the ground and turning it into radioactive Uranium and Plutonium fuel for use in nuclear reactors and lethal weapons. We need to put an end to this deadly use of these radioactive Uranium poison gases which sicken, weaken, and prematurely kill substantial populations of innocents. Most people who possess a working conscience are highly upset to learn that weaponized Uranium gas has been used promiscuously as a lethal weapon in Afghanistan since 2001 and in Iraq since 1991. But we must never forget for a minute that it is has also been continuously used in our *own* environment, on our *own* people, right here inside the US since the early 1940s - and continuously ever since! Most people I speak with out in public know little, if any, of this. Since the media is generally (kept) silent on Uranium poison gas use in America and, thus, *on* Americans... it is up to ordinary people like you and me to tell the rest of the United States people what our government and media refuse to say. Some websites about radiation follow this article. I urge you to share this far and wide with anyone you suspect may not yet know. Uranium inside the human body wrecks DNA and genetic material for generations to follow. We must, for the sake of our kids, spread the word! The need to put an end to radioactive Uranium use is just too important to keep to ourselves! Our children ~ and their children forevermore ~ will be awfully glad you did.
Thank you for all you do!
