Fallujah Birth Defect Spike Thought to Be Result of U.S. Depleted Uranium Weapons, White Phosporus!

Warning !! Highly Disturbing Images!!

  • War crimes are committed in Iraq without any doubts!
     
    Daniel 7:23 (New King James Version)
    23 “Thus he said: 
          ‘ The fourth beast shall be
          A fourth kingdom on earth,
          Which shall be different from all other kingdoms,
          And shall devour the whole earth,
          Trample it and break it in pieces.
     
  • Battlefields Contaminated With Depleted Uranium: Growing Number of Cancer Cases in Iraq!
      
    Depleted uranium has been used for nearly 20 years as sub-ammunition of artillery shells in international conflicts like the two Iraq Wars and the NATO conflict with Serbia, but the long-term effects of it are unknown. In Iraq, many doctors believe that the radiation leaked from old weapons used by foreign forces in 1991 and 2003 are continuing to have a deadly impact.
      
    They fear that the remains of the substance are spreading cancer through the population and contaminating water. Seven years after the invasion of Iraq, people there are still dying from its after-effects. In cities and towns across the country, old munitions are leaking radiation, with horrific consequences.
     
    “The number of cancer cases among children increased by 227 per cent in the period from 2005 to 2007,” stated Doctor K. Suleiman. “Experts at the University of Basra Research Center claim that toxic agents will continue having a harmful effect on human health for the next 50 years.” During the Gulf War in 1991 and the invasion of Iraq in 2003, coalition forces fired thousands of “depleted uranium” shells.
     
    Depleted uranium is a by-product of the enrichment process and its immense density makes it a powerful projectile. But it can leave a deadly legacy. “Depleted uranium, which was used back in 1991 and 2003, is the most dangerous substance. Experts reckon that over 350 tonnes of it were used in total. This substance will give out harmful radiation for years into the future,” predicted Dr. Suleiman. “For instance, as many as 35 new forms of cancer not known to the World Health Organization were reported in June 2008.”
     
    Two reports, one by the US army and the other by the World Health Organization, warned about the dangers of depleted uranium before the 2003 war. When shells fell into the dust, they contaminated it, along with water sources nearby. And when it is inhaled or drunk, radioactive material can sit in the body, damaging DNA and leading to cancer.
     
    The Head of a humanitarian organization for children with cancer, L. Shakir, informs that “The reports say that the number of cancer patients is growing. But some doctors say it’s all within the norm and that the number of cancer cases here is smaller than in other countries. We need to consolidate our efforts in fighting cancer. The support of the state, represented by the Health Minister, is of paramount importance, as is the role of NGOs and international organizations.”
     
    Officially, the US army is skeptical about the link between depleted uranium shells and cancer rates. But where battles were fought, Iraqi doctors are struggling to cope with huge rises in numbers of tumors and birth defects and, for them, the link is obvious. “2,000 new cancer cases are reported in Basra annually. Our patients come from Basra, An-Nasiriyah, Amara and other provinces,” Doctor Jivad Ali, an oncologist, said.

Marc Faber: Bearish on Everything But Precious Metals!

Former CIA Officials Admit To Faking Bin Laden Video!

  • Yes, it is true. Many of the so called Osama Bin Laden videos are ‘Hollywood’ productions. The western Illuminist intelligence agencies have been propagating this lie for a long time. The objective is to continue the Global War on Terror without end, to use it for world conquest. Osama Bin Laden is a CIA asset, no secret here. The Bin Laden family has multi decades ties with the Bush family and the Carlyle Group. All these are facts not allegations! 
     
    Former CIA Officials Admit To Faking Bin Laden Video 
    Two former CIA officials have admitted to creating a fake video in which intelligence officers dressed up as Osama Bin Laden and his cronies in an effort to defame the terrorist leader throughout the middle east. The details are outlined in a Washington Post article by investigative reporter and former Army Intelligence case officer Jeff Stein.
     
    Stein’s sources told him that during planning for the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the CIA’s Iraq Operations Group considered creating a fake video of Saddam Hussein engaged in sexual acts with a teenage boy, then flooding Iraq with copies of the tape. That idea, along with faking Iraqi news bulletins, never came to fruition according to the former CIA officials, because agreement on the projects could not be reached between the Iraq Group and CIA’s Office of Technical Services.
     
    However, the two sources reveal that the agency did previously concoct at least one fake Bin Laden video:

     
    The agency actually did make a video purporting to show Osama bin Laden and his cronies sitting around a campfire swigging bottles of liquor and savoring their conquests with boys, one of the former CIA officers recalled, chuckling at the memory. The actors were drawn from “some of us darker-skinned employees,” he said.
     
    The former officials told Stein that the project was taken over by the military after it ground to a halt:
     
    The reality, the former officials said, was that the agency really didn’t have enough money and expertise to carry out the projects. “The military took them over,” said one. “They had assets in psy-war down at Ft. Bragg,” at the army’s special warfare center.
     
    This latest revelation bolsters evidence that the intelligence agencies, and perhaps more significantly, the military have been engaged in creating fake Bin Laden videos in the past. As we have exhaustively documented, Intelcenter, the U.S. monitoring group that routinely releases Bin Laden video and audio, much of which have been proven to be either rehashed old footage or outright fakes, is an offshoot of IDEFENSE, a web security company that monitors intelligence from the middle east.
     
    IDEFENSE is heavily populated by long serving ex military intelligence officials, such as senior military psy-op intelligence officer Jim Melnick, who served 16 years in the US army and the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in psychological operations. Melnick has also worked directly for former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Intelcenter notoriously released the “laughing hijackers” tape and claimed it was an Al-Qaeda video, despite the fact that the footage was obtained by a “security agency” at a 2000 Bin Laden speech.
      …..
    Could the CIA group of “dark skinned actors” have been behind the infamous December 2001
    “Fat nosed” Bin Laden video, that was magically found in a house in Jalalabad after anti-Taliban forces moved in? The tape featured a fat Osama laughing and joking about how he’d carried out 9/11. The video was also mistranslated in order to manipulate viewer opinion and featured “Bin Laden” praising two of the hijackers, only he got their names wrong. This Osama also used the wrong hand to write with and wore gold rings, a practice totally in opposition to the Muslim faith.
     
    Despite the fact that the man in the video looks nothing like Bin Laden, the CIA stood by it and declared it to be the official “9/11 confession video”. The latest revelations also shed light on another past Bin Laden release – a tape in which he ludicrously declared himself in league with Saddam Hussein in the weeks before the invasion of Iraq.
     
    The notion that the CIA project was taken over and drastically improved by the Pentagon at some point after 2003 jives with the improvement in quality of Bin Laden videos in later years. Most notably the video that was released immediately ahead of the 2004 election, and it’s digitally manipulated duplicate from 2007, in which Bin Laden appeared to have a dyed beard. For a run down of some of the most notoriously dubious Bin Laden videos see the following article.

Greeks Queue to Buy Gold Sovereigns for Financial Security in Turbulent Times!

Liberty Gold Coin

  • The Austrians, Germans, Greeks and many Europeans are waking up. They are rushing to buy physical gold to protect themselves from the ongoing Euro currency crisis! The Wall Street Journal:
      
    … British gold sovereigns once again are the foreign currency of choice in Greece. Once again, too, they are offering a tangible sense of security amid turbulent uncertainty. In the 1940s, as the only reliable currency available, much of it was hoarded in trunks, under floorboards and buried in gardens. Any respectable girl’s dowry included a cache of sovereigns.
     
    Now they are being used as a physical hedge against fears that Greece may leave the euro zone. For weeks buyers have been queuing patiently in the central bank’s main downtown Athens office, prepared to shell out nearly €273 ($409) per piece, up from €243 at the start of May and €180 last July. Persistent worries that Greece could default at least partly on its debts are emptying the Bank of Greece’s vaults of at least 700 gold coins a day, giving a whole new meaning to the term sovereign debt.
      
    “The public’s renewed interest in sovereigns as an asset started with the collapse of Lehman Brothers,” the daily Kathimerini newspaper wrote. Central bank officials estimate that while Greek demand for the distinctive bullion has been rising by 10 per cent a year since 2008, its price has been soaring by more than 50 per cent.
     
    Greeks’ uncertainty about their future has manifested itself more dramatically in a series of strikes and riots. The markets have been jittery, too, something unlikely to have been eased by remarks last night by Olivier Blanchard, chief economist of the International Monetary Fund, who said: “The markets are wondering if Greece will be able to repay its debt or not.
     
    “Given the behaviour of Greek governments in the past, their uncertainties are understandable.” Sovereigns remained legal tender amid an unstable drachma until 1965, when the Greek government placed restrictions on their trading. Many hoarders cashed in their stocks, although street vendors near the Athens Stock Exchange continued to do a brisk trade in the coins.
     
    The growing run on the bullion sovereign has spawned a thriving black market: in addition to about 50,000 sold legally by the Bank of Greece in the first four months of this year, officials estimate that at least 100,000 have changed hands on the black market at prices of up to €300.

Questions Raised Following Cheonan Announcement!

» The label “1 beon,” No.1, is written on the shaft of the propeller of torpedo presented by the joint military-civilian investigation team as the evidence of North Korea’s attack, May 20. Source: http://english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_edition/e_national/421856.html

  • The Cheonan sinking is most likely a false flag attack. False flag attacks of ships have been used to start wars many times in the past. Remember: USS Liberty, Gulf of Tonkin, USS Maine …etc. .  The Illuminati is positioning all the chess pieces to start World War 3!
     
  • This is a pretty good article asking all the relevant questions. The western MSM is promoting the idea that it is a closed case: North Korea did it! But the fact is: does North Korea submarines really have the ability to evade all the anti-submarine warships of South Korea and the US armada? Why wasn’t an incoming torpedo audio/sonar signature recorded? The Cheonan is a highly advance anti-submarine patrol combat corvette. All the American and S. Korean fleet were on full exercise and heightened alert. So how could this have happened?
     
    Questions raised following Cheonan announcement
    The huge security breach and torpedo markings have both caused experts to raise questions about the investigation findings released Thursday.
      
    The joint civilian-military investigation team on Thursday presented propeller fragments from a North Korean torpedo as conclusive evidence as to the cause of the sinking of the Cheonan. A number of questions remain, however, such as why no North Korean submarine was discovered after the Cheonan was attacked.
      …..
    Stealth Submarine?
    Until now, military officials have been saying they did not detect any unusual military movements from North Korea. “From March 24 to 27, the military detected two North Korean Sango Class Submarines, but the likelihood of their connection to the sinking was judged to be weak.” said Defense Minister Kim Tae-young before the National Assembly on April 2.
     
    “We have not detected any unusual movements from the North Korean military,” said U.S. Combined Forces Command Commander General Walter Sharp through a press release on March 28, two days after the sinking. In other words, at the time, the Sango Class Submarine that was detected around the time of the sinking was not believed to be directly connected with the sinking, while the Yono Class Submarine was not detected at all.
       …..
    This explanation, however, failed to clarify all questions. A joint South Korean-U.S. naval exercise involving several Aegis warships was underway at the time, and the Cheonan was a patrol combat corvette (PCC) that specialized in anti-submarine warfare. The question remains whether it would be possible for a North Korean submarine to infiltrate the maritime cordon at a time when security reached its tightest level and without detection by the Cheonan.
      
    “If the North Koreans were to try an ambush in revenge for the Daecheong Island naval clash, they would have done so only after they were certain of success following several infiltration exercises in the waters off Baengnyeong Island,” said a former Navy admiral. “The investigation team announcement basically stated that North Korea had planned an attack with a low probability of success on paper and successfully carried it out on one attempt, but that assessment lacks military credibility.”
     
    In fact, if things transpired as the investigation team announced, then a North Korean submarine penetrated the South Korean-U.S. surveillance net, waited precisely where the Cheonan would be approaching, sank the Cheonan in one shot, and then leisurely disappeared after completely avoiding a naval anti-submarine net that included the Naval ship Sokcho and Linx helicopters.
       
    Some have stated that while it was possible the Cheonan was unable to detect the submarine, it remains difficult to understand how it could not detect the torpedo launch. “A submarine is supposed to be difficult to detect military, but most torpedoes can be detected,” said Kim Jong-dae, editor-in-chief of defense journal D&D Focus. “It is doubtful they would have been completely unable to detect the launch.”
     
    One military official explained they were unable to detect the torpedo since the one used in the attack had a different audio range from those ascertained by the South Korean military, but some respond that it is difficult to understand why they would not have the audio information contained even in brochures regarding a torpedo that has been produced since the 1980s. Accordingly, in order to clear up these doubts, some are calling for the military authorities to release the communication intercepts to show the North Korean submarine‘s intent to attack. The investigation team, however, has reportedly been unable to secure intelligence data that would confirm clearly the circumstances of the attack besides the fact that the Yono Class Submarine left its base in North Korea.
      
    Torpedo Fragment?
    There are also some questions regarding the North Korean torpedo fragment, which was presented as conclusive evidence. First, some experts stated that the marking 1 beon, No. 1, presented as key evidence that it was a North Korean torpedo, is different from typical North Korean markings. “North Korea does not frequently use the term beon,” said one North Korea expert. “Instead, they use the term ho, as in Daepodong 1-ho, Gangnam 1-ho, etc.”
     
    In fact, a North Korean training torpedo obtained by the South Korean military seven years ago was marked “4 ho.” In light of the fact that the beon discovered on the torpedo fragment and the
    ho found on the training torpedo are different, the investigation team could not have conducted a precise handwriting analysis. The team said it would consider a plan to determine the similarity through ink analysis, but it is uncertain whether a clear answer will result.
     
    Both appear to have been written by hand inside the torpedo for organization and maintenance purposes, but why one is beon and the other ho is a question.
