The Doctor, the Depleted Uranium, and the Dying Children
Filed under Health, 13 Comments,
An award winning documentary film produced for German television by Freider Wagner and Valentin Thurn.
The film exposes the use and impact of radioactive weapons during the current war against Iraq. The story is told by citizens of many nations.
It opens with comments by two British veterans, Kenny Duncan and Jenny Moore, describing their exposure to radioactive, so-called depleted uranium (DU), weapons and the congenital abnormalities of their children.
Dr. Siegwart-Horst Gunther, a former colleague of Albert Schweitzer, and Tedd Weyman of the Uranium Medical Research Center (UMRC) traveled to Iraq, from Germany and Canada respectively, to assess uranium contamination in Iraq.

I agree. Using depleted uranium amunitions now, knowing what we know now, should be outlawed, if not a war crime.

Unique and striking documentary movie, daring to show not just unpleasant, but even unthinkable facts and shocking life stories. In this case, I could only recommend watching more German documentaries. 10 stars from me.

I didn’t need to see this to know that my government commits crimes against humanity. I’ve known such things since Vietnam.
What saddens me is that this kind of material needs to be shown to a much wider audience than it is, but I know that mainstream media here in the US would never do that, they along with our government have sold their souls for money and power.
Until the people of the world stop believing the lies that are fed to us, it will only get much worse.
One of our founding fathers warned that if America follows a path of war and conquest we will lose our soul, which I believe we lost a long time ago.
A day of reckoning has already begun for America, we are getting what we deserve, the only troubling aspect of that is that the innocent will suffer and perish along with the guilty, seems that’s the way it’s always been. No power last forever, history has proven that many times over.

they are a bunch of thugs. irresponsible it is a fact the only people who used any type of nuclear weapons are these states. what a mascaraed…. nuclear non proliferation?????
may the many good people involved in this doc. be heard.
war criminels: bush and blair.
blair looked like a good guy before bush pushed him to join his mass murder scheme.
for us or against us. everyone is of course against this.
i know it is nearly futile.
bush and blair must be prosecuted at la hague, for war crimes, and crime against humanity.killing people with cancer for 4.5million of years to come.
but as a German historian said, the first criteria to become a war criminal is that you lose the war.
otherwise you go scott-free even if you kill millions.
won’t blame the iraqi’s or serbs if they ……

The high ranking military/governmental people who keep saying the areas with depleted uranium are safe should be forced to live and raise families there.
Our species is in a race to destroy ourselves or to find a way to survive. We moved a step forward when most countries outlawed and destroyed their caches of chemical/biological agents, however, we have taken two steps backwards in the use and cover-up of radioactive heavy metals in conventional warfare.

Obama is exactly the same, they are all puppets, and every time the dumb masses line up and listen to their drivel, and every time they cant beleive they were let down and lied to.
All Nato Country’s use the stuff.

insist DU is safe.
All deserve to be tried for crimes against humanity. Shame on you all

The external radiation dose from DU is about 60 percent of that from the same mass of natural uranium.
During a three week period of conflict in 2003 Iraq, 1,000 to 2,000 tonnes of DU munitions were used, mostly in cities.

I recall back about 50 yrs. ago thinking I’d like to be alive for a long time to watch the world develop towards a better life for everyone. This documentary is just one more reason to know that we’re likely stoned or just stupid.
The sheeple of the human race are going to pay the ultimate price,because we do nothing to effectively stop those abusers of power .
Canada is just as bad as the rest of them. Crime against humanity should equal a death sentence.What a croch of crap.

What did we learn from Hiroshima and Nagasaki?
The United Nothing convention writes ABC weapons shall be banned in war affairs..
What would the U.S. EPA say if 2 tons DU bullets would be dumped in your neighborhood?
The seen facts proof crime against humanity and military conventions.
Who will call the Den Hague Tribunal to bring these crimes to justice?

Now the scientists dedicated to destruction are no longer satisfied with annihilating the enemy; they must also debilitate future generations…
Who are these people? Who finances them? Where do they work?
A documentary on THE SCIENTISTS OF DESTRUCTION ? ? ?

ALL THE INFO WAS ALWAYS KNOWN BY THE SAME WHO PROSPER FROM WAR. OUR MILITARY RETURNING HOME WILL ARE EXPOSED !

The planners of wars present and future have decided that on our U.S.-controlled planet any person who is judged inimical to the Imperial Order will be punished unto the third or sixth generation. GENETIC warfare is part of the abominable arsenal of present conquest. And not only the alleged “enemy” suffer: sometimes those “lesser breeds” of low military rank who worked for the Imperial Order by disseminating the weapons may also be afflicted.
An insidious poisoning spreads across the planet. Devised by scientists, perpetrated by militarists and inflicted on any persons deemed suspicious of actions against the Imperial Order, these poisons sterilize land, infect rivers and seas, and mortally damage human beings.
And there is no visible end to this self-murderous process.
Ahead lie lasers, robotic warfare, satellite-based missiles, electronic-activated mass poisoning and mass killing…
