Diabetes and depleted uranium ZOT
San Francisco Bay View ^ | June 29, 2006 | Bob Nichols

"You are not being truthful about the purpose of your visit to Italy. What is your interest in diabetes and depleted uranium?" the Italian consul in Bombay demanded to know.

"I am just traveling to Italy to meet with Leuren Moret," the famous Indian doctor answered.

Leuren Moret recounted the episode in an interview June 29, 2006. She said, "The doctor had never mentioned either diabetes or depleted uranium."

The Italian government official was grilling one of the leading doctors in India. This "interview" at the Italian embassy took place June 27, 2006, in Bombay, India. The doctor had traveled to Italy several times before and did not expect such outrageous treatment. The consul denied the doctor permission to travel to Italy to meet with Moret.

The doctor had said nothing about diabetes and nothing about depleted uranium. The embassy official had just let the cat out of the bag and confirmed the link between the global epidemic of diabetes and the use of depleted uranium by the U.S.-U.K. expeditionary forces in Iraq, Afghanistan and the former Yugoslavia.

The official could only have known about the diabetes link to depleted uranium from the U.S. State Department and the source of it all: the Lawrence Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab, "managed" for 61 years by the University of California. The University of California nuclear weapons labs are the core of the nuclear weapons program in the U.S., the only remaining superpower.

The clumsy intervention by a superpower in the travel plans of a private individual to confer with a scientific colleague about global public health concerns highlights the explosive significance that the U.S. attaches to uncontrolled information about the global epidemic of diabetes.

On May 29, Moret charged the University of California and the Los Alamos and Livermore Nuclear Weapons Labs with engineering the largest global increase of diabetes in history and trying to cover it up.

Fine uranium dust, vaporized into a poison radioactive gas by exploding uranium bombs, missiles and bullets, hitches a ride on dry desert winds to circle the globe in days.

Dr. Chris Busby, a leading British radiation expert, got data from a nuclear weapons air monitoring facility at Aldemaston, England, which identified depleted uranium in the British atmosphere only nine days after the "shock and awe" carpet bombing of Baghdad, started in March of 2003.

While it has no direct relevance to this discussion, I have heard from a couple of sources that it is also a component in the Chobham multi-layer, composite armor. Have you heard anything like that?

Since when did "Shock and Awe" become "carpet bombing"? Someone over at that liberal rag needs to read up on what constitutes carpet bombing.

Depleted uranium causes global warming too. Only Al Gore can save us from roasting alive with high blood sugar. A consensus of scientists backs this up. Just ask AP.

PS: I don't want to confuse the issue but there is also strong evidence to suggest that tax cuts for the rich serves as a catalyst in the diabetes and global warming reactions.

The hysterics surrounding DU and radiation have been well overblown over the last decade and a half. Some "Chicken Little's" like Rokke use this to attempt to make a name for themselves. Others attempt to use this to try to "disarm" the military organizations who use DU to annihilate armored vehicles.

While there is a minuscule "risk" involved with DU, it's not nearly as "bad" as the "Chicken Little's" would have you believe. More hysterical squealing from those who believe they know best, IMO.

I don't think that it is. I was just responding to the statement about carpet bombing in that joke of an article.

I wonder if PJ Comix got in on that action

Did they look for it BEFORE March 03? If they didn't, the data is meaningless.

"Carpet bombing"? Please. Get you're facts straight.

You'd think one of the many embedded reporters would have mentioned exploding uranium bombs and missiles...I've heard them called Nuclear Weapons and they usually attract quite a lot of attention when they go off....

Dude. The radium in your wrist-watch (assuming you have graduated to the ones with hands) is more radioactive than depleted uranium ammunition.

Does the word 'depleted' have much meaning to you?

I'm a metallurgist, but have never worked with it & am not a 'DU expert' by any stretch. A friend of mine did his post-doc with DU and knows it fairly well.

It is somewhat similar to lead in its properties (easily cast), and is more 'toxic' than lead. Wouldn't want it in ground water sources for instance.

It is not radio-active in the sense that these kooks make it out to be. The radium (glow-in-the-dark) on watch hands is far more 'radio active' than DU ammo.

DU is desireable for ammo, because it undergoes 'adiabatic shear' at high strain-rates. In other words, when it is deformed very quickly (shot from a gun) it becomes progressively sharper, and continues to shear itself into a sharp point during penetration.

Other metals 'behave as liquids' at high strain rates, i.e. bullets 'mushroom' and have limited penetration because of it.

I take it you showed up in Moscow for the "gay pride" parade and grew too despondent to leave when you realized there was no parade. Sissy-boy.
