Leuren Moret is an American independent scientist and international expert on radiation and public health issues.
She has devoted her life to awakening the public to the destructive consequence of depleted uranium munitions that are used by the US military. She has made relentless efforts to stop the US continuing to pullout the environment.
Q. The US is using DU weapons in violation of international treaties. Why is not the international community forcing the US to put an end to the use or production of such weaponry?
A. I've asked that question many times myself.
With the demonstrated total and complete failure of international judicial remedies - by the International Criminal Court and the world court - to enforce the 1925 Geneva poison gas protocol, the Geneva and Hague conventions, international agreements and other treaties, and the failure of depleted uranium weapons to meet the standards (in four out of four categories) of legality under international law, it is clear that the international judicial system is morally and procedurally bankrupt. In other words, international laws and treaties are meaningless and/or selectively enforced. Just like the US nuclear weapons labs where I have worked, they selectively enforce the rules only when they want to 'get someone', in other words, they unfairly target and enforce laws that may be on the books, but are ignored.
And that has been true throughout the nuclear project since the end of WWII when atomic bombs, weapons of mass destruction, were dropped on living civilian populations in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan, the only two Christian cities in Japan. And that was a case of Christians dropping the first atomic bombs on Christians. Those first atomic bombs were weapons of mass destruction and they were illegal in every sense of the law. They were dropped without the consent of the scientists who developed them, without the consent of the political leadership (with the exception of President Truman who was talked into it by one man - Col. Henry Stimson, Sec. Of war and a Wall Street banker and member of Skull and Bones), and with the strongest opposition coming from the US military leadership - especially General Leslie Groves who was in charge of developing atomic bombs as head of the Manhattan Project.
The decision to drop two atomic bombs was made by one man - Colonel Henry Stimson - a Wall Street banker with ties to Churchill and the city of London bankers. It's always the international bankers who are engineering these horrific wars and the development of ever more horrific technologies of war.
However the hypocrisy of the US government must also be addressed. Depleted uranium munitions meet the definition of WMDs under US Federal Code in 2 out of 3 categories, and they violate US military law because the US is a signatory to the Geneva and Hague conventions. If the US government is so worried about Iran being a nuclear threat, then why did Henry Kissinger give Iran nuclear power plants, and President Gerald Ford give Iran plutonium?
September 16, 2005, in the UN General Assembly, President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela said:
"We could, on the basis of national realities, exchange knowledge, integrate markets, interconnect, but at the same time we must understand that there are problems that do not have a national solution: radioactive clouds, world oil prices, diseases, warming of the planet or the hole in the ozone layer. These are not domestic problems."
And on September 17, 2005, in the UN General Assembly President Ahmadinejad of Iran eloquently brought the depleted uranium issue to the table:
"Ironically, those who have actually used nuclear weapons, continue to produce, stockpile and extensively test such weapons, have used depleted uranium bombs and bullets against tens and perhaps hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, Kuwaitis, and even their own soldiers and those of their allies, afflicting them with incurable diseases, blatantly violate their obligations under the NPT, have refrained from signing the CTBT and have armed the Zionist occupation regime with WMDs, are not only refusing to remedy their past deeds, but in clear breech of the NPT, are trying to prevent other countries from acquiring the technology to produce peaceful nuclear energy. All these problems emanate from the fact that justice and spirituality are missing in the way powerful governments conduct their affairs with other nations. "
A third courageous world leader has also recognized that depleted uranium global pollution is the most important issue today, for example Dr. Mahathir Mohamed, former Prime Minister of Malaysia. He held an international war crimes conference February 5-7, 2007, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, attended by 5000 people.
The issue of radioactive weapons and depleted uranium played an important role at this conference.
So we have three world leaders now who have spoken out about the horror and illegality of depleted uranium weaponry. But the NATO countries are silent and complicit in the poisoning of Iraq, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, and Lebanon with their illegal weapons. The approximately 5000 US bunker buster bombs that Israel bombed Lebanon with, in the July 2006 attack. Dr. Chris Busby has reported evidence of not only depleted uranium in the bomb craters along the Lebanon/Israel border, but also traces of deuterium, high levels of uranium 235, and neutron activation products that quickly decayed within 3 weeks. The analyses were done at the British Government Radiation Laboratory at Harwell, so they must be correct.
Those anomalous radiation fingerprints suggest that 4th generation nuclear weapons were also included in the bunker buster dirty bombs. In other words, the US/Israel are now carrying out two nuclear wars from within the same bomb - or shall we call it the new 'super nuker.' What hypocrisy for the US to cry 'terrorist' about Iran, when US bombs delivered by Israeli jets are nuking Lebanon, Israeli citizens, and everyone in the region. Well, it is well known in America that the victimizer always turns himself into the victim.
The truth is that the 'nuclear states' have, and are using, nuclear weapons for blackmailing weaker countries in order to depopulate them and steal their mineral resources. It's just that simple.
Q. What is the depleted uranium and how does it affect the lives of human beings? What are the consequences of DU contamination?
A. Depleted uranium is radioactive waste from the nuclear weapons and nuclear power programs. 99.5% of the uranium that is mined becomes depleted uranium after 0.5% uranium 235 is removed in the enrichment process. Iran is legally enriching uranium for their nuclear power program, and the IAEA has stated that this is a perfectly legal activity in a country with nuclear power plants. It is being used as an excuse by the US and international community to threaten Iran.
In 1942, radioactive poison gas weapons were suggested for development under the Manhattan Project. In other words, the scientists did not know if they could successfully make atomic bombs, so they said
Let's make dirty bombs, dirty missiles, and dirty bullets out of the depleted uranium, since we have lots of that, and it will permanently contaminate the air, water, soil, food, and blood in a region where we use these munitions. It was a great weapon to kill, maim and disease lots of people.
So in 1942 they knew everything about depleted uranium but did not use it until 1973, during the oil crisis, when the US government gave it to Israel and supervised them using it in the Yom Kippur war. I have met so many women in Berkeley, California, who lived in Israel [occupied Palestine] then in Kibbutzes, and they have an epidemic of breast cancer in their families now. Well, that was just the beginning.
The US has contaminated 39 states with depleted uranium since 1945 from testing, manufacture, sales, storage and disposal of these weapons. The US is in a massive epidemic of radiation related illnesses, which is increasing every year - the US government nuked its own people with atomic bomb testing, nuclear power plants, and now depleted uranium.
Not only are the Middle East and Central Asia contaminated forever with radioactive depleted uranium, which has a half-life of 4.5 billion years, but it has contaminated and mixed throughout the global atmosphere, causing a global epidemic of diabetes and other radiation related illnesses.
Depleted uranium is a radioactive nano-particle doomsday machine, which is not only causing diabetes all over the world, but it is invisibly increasing death rates, and decreasing birth rates globally - that is called depopulation. The Queen of Britain and the Rockefellers (US) own most of the uranium, and the city of London bankers control world uranium supplies and prices. Nice partnership, isn't it? Through her mother (maiden name Roche), Princess Diana was actually a Rothschild (city of London bankers). Many people believe that Prince Charles married Diana for her Stuart bloodline, which made her more royal than Charles. But when Prince William becomes king, England will have a Rothschild on the throne
that is the bloodline wanted from Princess Diana.
Well, if you think about the thousands of tons of depleted uranium the US/UK have admitted using since 1991, that would be the same as releasing the radiation from at least 400,000 Nagasaki bombs into the atmosphere since 1991, ten times more than during atmospheric testing. Well, look at the increase in diabetes in Japan since 1991, which represents the global effect of depleted uranium pollution.
Source: vital statistics of japan 2004 (vol.1), ministry of
health, labour and welfare, p.202-3.
Then there are the effects to consider on the unborn babies. Consider the large increase in low birth weight babies in the US since 1991, caused by the global depleted uranium pollution. This is happening all over the world. Unlike infant mortality, these babies survive but they are at much greater risk for health problems during their lives: diabetes, learning disabilities, obesity, heart defects, and they are never really strong and healthy. The babies may look normal on the outside, but the DNA is damaged both in the nucleus and in the mitochondria of the cell, as well as other damage we still don't understand. Over future generations, the genetic damage will be expressed in unpredictable ways, and gradually the genome will degrade and decline in vigor. source: US government data: Center for Disease Control (CDC)
The consequences of depleted uranium global pollution is damage to the genome of the entire planet which is being degraded and destroyed slowly over time - for all living things. This is a demonic plan by the city of London and Wall Street banking establishments, and the new world order, the 'globalists' who want to depopulate the world by 2-4 billion people. They don't call London the world capital of terrorism for no reason.
Depopulation, through a continuous global covert nuclear war, has been waged against citizens, paid for by citizens through taxation, privatized, and secretly implemented by the global ruling elite. From 62 years of depleted uranium wars alone, global public health has been devastated by large increases in death rates and chronic disease, and decreasing birth rates, both evident in the vital statistics of many countries since 1945. This is a global trend.
This is what Henry Kissinger said about it in 1974 in the National Security Council:
Dr. Henry Kissinger proposed in his memorandum to the NSC that 'depopulation should be the highest priority of US foreign policy towards the third world.' He cited reasons of national security, and because the US economy will require large and increasing amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries
wherever a lessening of population can increase the prospects for such stability, population policy becomes relevant to resources, supplies and to the economic interests of the US.
Implications of world wide population growth for US security & overseas interests, national security memo 200, April 24, 1974
According to an NSC spokesman at the time, the United States shared the view of former World Bank President Robert McNamara that the 'population crisis' is a greater threat to US national security interests than 'nuclear annihilation'. In 1975, Henry Kissinger established a policy-planning group in the US state department's office of population affairs.
By 1979 depopulation was the top priority of US national security policy, as outlined in the national security paper global 2000 written by Rockefeller contractors Henry Kissinger, Z. Brzezinski, Gen. Alexander Haig, and Ed Muskie for President Carter.
So it is very clear that depleted uranium weaponry is being used for the purpose of depopulation in the Middle East, Central Asia, Lebanon, Yugoslavia
and these areas of course are rich in mineral resources that the Zionist Anglo-American economic empire wants to control. The tiger economies (China, Japan, Korea and India) are another serious economic threat - so another nuclear war is being carried out against them with nuclear power plants forced on them by the US/UK war crimes racketeering syndicate (who own the uranium and the nuclear power industry). The Zionist Anglo-American banking establishment is an international permanent war economy, a war crimes racketeering syndicate, the most vicious and ruthless in the history of the world: once again, they are the greedy bankers of the Wall Street and the city of London, and let's include the British throne which will soon crown a Rothschild as king.
Q. What parts of the world have been poisoned by the DU? Are there more regions at risk of contamination?
A. All of the world has been poisoned by the DU - most of it since 1991. The health statistics from around the world clearly show the global impact. But even the oceans are being killed by the radiation, the baby fish die just like our babies. Or they are born weak and may not survive to become adult fish. This also happened during atmospheric testing. Between 1957 and 1963 the fishing catch in the North Atlantic declined by 50%, but recovered within a few years as soon as atmospheric testing ended, because of the partial test ban treaty which Russia, the UK and US signed. However, the pacific fishing catch declined 65% by 1970 and never recovered because some nuclear states continued testing. It is happening all over again since 1991 with the introduction of DU weaponry by the US and the UK. In Japan, I learned that the fishing catch has declined 10% just in the past few years.
The DU is globally mixed in 1 year - it is found in the ice record in Antarctica, Hawaii, the Alps, the Himalayas, and even in the Andes of South America. There is nowhere to hide or any way to escape.
Q. The US soldiers who were sent to the Persian Gulf War were also poisoned due to the DU US weapons. There are many reports of their devastating situation in the past and at the moment. Isn't the US government concerned about the lives of its own military personnel?
A. Here is a news story tonight on the internet. It is the despair and anger expressed by a member of Congress from the San Francisco area where I live. Listen to his words on the floor of Congress speaking to Bush you have no money for health care for children
or for more war
You just like to blow things up.
Here is a lawyer friend of mine, from the international law firm of Morrison and Foerster, who has filed a class action lawsuit against the Veterans Administration for Health Care for our very sick veterans
the medical disability rate is over 55% since 1991, when they started using depleted uranium weapons.
Our children are being turned into uranium meat as soon as they are sent to Iraq and Afghanistan. What about the poor people who live in those regions and have for thousands of years
.
The leadership in the US, the Congress, the White House, and the Pentagon have been taken over by a shadow government - that shadow from Wall Street and the city of London. The US is bankrupt and is being carved up like a turkey by the globalists. Europe is too
the EU is just another region being dragged into slavery
like the US-Canada-Mexico, which is now undergoing unification. I cannot believe this global nightmare being rolled out.
Our soldiers are just being sent to Iraq and Afghanistan and given a death sentence as soon as they arrive. Our national guard, to protect our states from being overtaken by our own military, is being destroyed to make this global takeover easier. Black youth in the ghettoes are refusing to join the military. They are saying it's more dangerous in Iraq now than in the ghetto
We are staying home.
Major Doug Rokke told me that gang members and juvenile delinquents coming back from their army service in Iraq are taking military trucks from bases here like at Fort Lewis, and going out into towns around the military bases and robbing banks. Then they go back into the ghettos and kill the police
That's what they learned in Iraq.
As Henry Kissinger famously said after Vietnam:
"Military men are just dumb stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy".
I think in reality the US government has killed far more Americans, their own citizens, than they have killed in other countries. The CIA has cannibalized the US just like it has eaten through the economies and killed the people of many other countries. The CIA is bringing the drugs from Afghanistan and South America into our communities. It's a great way to fund elections and to make huge profits.
Over $850 billion a year in drug money in the US is the CIA cash-flow through the US economy. The US economy would collapse without it.
Q. Are these soldiers receiving proper health care from the current US administration?
A. Of course not. They are receiving a plane ride back to the US and then they are dumped into their communities by the Pentagon and given no help, no medical care, nothing. I have them calling me up every day, they find my name on the internet, and they are begging me to help them
they want to commit suicide, their wives are sick
this is a nightmare not only over in the Middle East and Central Asia, but here as well.
Our country is bankrupt - morally, spiritually, and financially.
Q. Could you explain for our readers the beginning of your opposition to the nuclear weapons?
A. Well, I worked in two nuclear weapons labs, as a geoscientist cleaning up the mess at the labs. I did not know what nuclear weapons were until I went to Japan in 2000, invited to the Atomic and Hydrogen Bomb Conference as a plenary speaker. I was horrified when I saw the effects of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. If Americans had seen the aftermath in 1945 of those horrific bombs, there never would have been a nuclear weapons program in the US. It was hidden from the public and still is. It is a brotherhood of death, the ultimate rejection of life
it is a huge lie.
When I stood in the peace museums of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, I realized that I had to spend the rest of my life working on the terrible issue of nuclear pollution. I am a mother, I am a scientist, I am a woman and a giver of life; I cannot stand to see another mother and father with a sick child, a sick baby, a sick grandparent
the youngest and the oldest are the ones who suffer from radiation the most.
So here is what I am doing, a global campaign, a US campaign to get DU bills for our soldiers in the state legislatures - Congress is nonfunctional.
In Hawaii they call me the 'enfant terrible' of depleted uranium.
Well, if I am a naughty child for doing that, I am a very very very much more naughty scientist
and I am having lots of fun with my radiation wrecking ball
informing the public about what they should know about radiation and its impact on public health and the environment. Seriously, there really is no other choice.
Q. What are the human costs of the depleted uranium?
A. We are facing a global mass extinction of 2-4 billion people, and a war against the genetic future of all species.
If the Bush Administration and the US Navy are really stupid enough to bomb Iran with their [nuclear] friend Israel, well then they deserve what they get if they knock over that beehive. Iran is not Iraq
Iraq was a 'cakewalk' compared to what a mess they will have with Iran.
I want the people of Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and the people of the world to know that I love and respect them. Americans are not bad people, I am not a bad person because I am American, it is our government that has hijacked and stolen our country and our soul from us.
But this nightmare they are creating is not over yet, and like Iraq, it will not turn out the way they think it is going to
Bush is not the only sociopath in power who likes to blow things up. Other countries may retaliate
And there are many ways to punish the Zionist Anglo-American economic empire. Its future is fading
. You never create wealth by destroying things.

It's the short Czars of Wall Street. They are called Czardines.
I don't suppose you'd have an explanation of what a 4th generation nuclear weapon might be, or why it would use deuterium when boosting uses tritium?
Source, please? Radiochemical analysis? And what radioactive gas was readily available in 1942? For that matter, at what production facility, and why radioactive gases rather than proven chemicals?
Hint: there was one serious proposal for the US to use lethal chemical weapons in WWII, which FDR personally rejected. It wasn't in 1942, and didn't involve radioactive substances. There also was a significant accident involving a chemical weapon, again not a radioactive one.

Dept of Energy
BUILDING NUCLEAR WARHEADS: THE PROCESS
The production of nuclear weapons requires special technologies that were invented for the Manhattan Project. It also requires special materials: highly enriched uranium and plutonium. Both are made, by different processes, from naturally occurring uranium ore. Mining uranium ore is thus the first link in a chain of complex processes that eventually produce a nuclear weapon.
Although plutonium and uranium are both essential parts of modern nuclear weapons, it is possible to make nuclear weapons by using one or the other material alone. In fact, the first generation of atomic weapons did so. Early nuclear weapons were of two types: (1) gun-type bombs using two masses of highly enriched uranium, forced together very quickly to assemble a "critical mass" that would sustain a nuclear chain reaction and subsequent explosion; and (2) implosion bombs using high explosives to squeeze together a sphere of plutonium very quickly and symmetrically into a critical mass to attain a nuclear explosion. The "Little Boy" bomb dropped on Hiroshima was a uranium gun-type weapon, while the bomb dropped on Nagasaki was a plutonium implosion bomb. As designs for nuclear weapons advanced, a new generation of bombs "thermonuclear weapons" evolved. Most modern nuclear weapons use both plutonium and uranium.
Tritium is another essential material in most nuclear weapons. It is a radioactive gas that is produced by bombarding lithium with neutrons in a reactor. It is used to boost the explosive power of many modern weapons.

Radioactive Gas Did Not Boost Thyroid Disease
SEATTLE, Jan. 29 (Reuters Health) -- Children growing up near federal nuclear reactors in Eastern Washington did not suffer a boost in thyroid disease as a result of radiation released into the air during the 1940s and 1950s, according to the results of a federal study released Thursday.

Read about the invention of the atomic bomb, and you'll immediately recognize the intense scientific curiosity driving the crew at Los Alamos (see "The Making ..." in the bibliography) during World War II. Today, the elite scientists and engineers at the three nuclear-weapons labs are a highly motivated, well-funded crew, with a serious bunch of "boy's toys."
As nuclear scientist Hans Bethe pointed out, if anyone can invent new nuclear weapons, it is these folks.
The quest for fourth-generation nuclear weapons -- based on new physical principles and new ways to compress fusion fuel -- goes back to the early years of the nuclear labs, says Christopher Paine of the Natural Resources Defense Council. "It's been a Holy Grail of the [nuclear weapons] labs, to find a clean, low-yield, very compact nuclear explosive device."
The frustration, he says, is almost equally old. "They've had classified projects since the '50s ... and have never gotten there."
The reason is simple. Initiating fusion, as Paine says, "Is extremely difficult to do. ... The only way we've done it is with X-rays from another nuclear explosion. It takes a nuclear explosion to drive a nuclear explosion, and they have been searching for decades" to replace the fission stage of a thermonuclear bomb.

I was tempted not to respond at all, because it's rather difficult to respond to something with a wide range of points and much white space.
In point of fact, radon would not have been available in large quantities, and, while carcinogenic, does not have properties that would make it a useful chemical weapon. Chemical weapons have to have effects in no more than hours, or they have no tactical value.
On December 2, 1943, German bombers hit Allied shipping in the port of Bari, Italy. One ammunition ship was carrying sulfur mustard (dichloroethyl sulfide), and exploded. Not knowing of its presence, the medical staff wrapped oil-soaked patients in blankets, thinking hypothermia was the major risk. Without realizing it, they had increased the mustard exposure; it has a delayed effect.
FDR had stated a policy of "no first use" of chemical weapons in WWII. Military officers considered its local use against fortifications as early as the Battle of Tarawa in November 1943, but the most serious proposal to use it was before the invasion of Iwo Jima in early 1945. The Joint Chiefs of Staff sent a request to the President, who countersigned "all previous endorsements denied. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Commander-in-Chief (possibly the only time he used that signature).
It's rather difficult to follow some of your story, both from the amount of white space, and trying to figure out a timeline. Your tritium link gives a "page not found", but, if I read your statement, you suggest tritium boosting was a WWII technique and tritium was available in quantity. Tritium boosting, at the earliest, was in the fifties, and is a much more difficult technique than often realized -- there is some evidence that India tried it and got a fizzle yield. It certainly wasn't used at Hiroshima or Nagasaki.
You still haven't explained what you mean by a fourth-generation nuclear device. Now, I could probably fill in, and point you to the SIGMA compartment that might be inferred, but you hardly have any engineering or physics specifics...and could you not double and triple space most text?
Oh...yes, I will understand a technical explanation. My undergraduate work was in chemistry, routinely using radioisotopes, and I've recently had FEMA radioactive survey training.

1943 MANHATTAN PROJECT BLUEPRINT FOR DEPLETED URANIUM
In a declassified memo to General Leslie R. Groves, dated October 30, 1943, three of the top physicists in the Manhattan Project, Dr James B Conant, A H Compton, and H C Urey, made their recommendation, as members of the Subcommittee of the S-1 Executive Committee, on the `Use of Radioactive Materials as a Military Weapon':
"As a gas warfare instrument the material would be ground into particles of microscopic size to form dust and smoke and distributed by a ground-fired projectile, land vehicles, or aerial bombs. In this form it would be inhaled by personnel. The amount necessary to cause death to a person inhaling the material is extremely small ... There are no known methods of treatment for such a casualty ... it will permeate a standard gas mask filter in quantities large enough to be extremely damaging."
As a Terrain Contaminant:
"To be used in this manner, the radioactive materials would be spread on the ground either from the air or from the ground if in enemy controlled territory. In order to deny terrain to either side except at the expense of exposing personnel to harmful radiations ... Areas so contaminated by radioactive material would be dangerous until the slow natural decay of the material took place ... for average terrain no decontaminating methods are known. No effective protective clothing for personnel seems possible of development. ... Reservoirs or wells would be contaminated or food poisoned with an effect similar to that resulting from inhalation of dust or smoke."
Internal Exposure:
"... Particles smaller than 1µ [micron] are more likely to be deposited in the alveoli where they will either remain indefinitely or be absorbed into the lymphatics or blood. ... could get into the gastro-intestinal tract from polluted water, or food, or air. ... may be absorbed from the lungs or G-I tract into the blood and so distributed throughout the body."
