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 consequences
of depleted uranium munitions that are used by the US military. She has made
relentless efforts to stop the US from continuing to pollute 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.

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.
