Pissin' Off The Pentagon, or A short film about DU and one soldiers story

Watch this short film, you'll be glad you did.

We were fortunate enough to meet Dr. Rokke at the DU Conference last Staurday. One day if we're really good monkeys we'll get to meet Ms. Moret.

Now we'd like to tell you about one soldier and his exposure to depleted uranium.
His name was Dustin Brim. He served in the war on Iraq and he was exposed to depleted uranium.

He came back from the war on Iraq suffering with "a very aggressive cancer that attacked his kidney, caused a mass to grow over his esophagus and collapsed a lung."

He's dead now, from the cancer. His mom, Lois, is really sad but she's not going to let her son's death be in vain. She's reaching out to other families who suffer with DU injuries.




Unfortunately for her, and the whole world in general, the US Government takes this attitude towards her and towards anyone who speaks out about the horrors of depleted uranium weapons:




"Despite a 1996 U.N. resolution opposing its use because of discovery of health problems after the first Gulf War, the military studies have concluded there was no evidence that exposure to the metal caused illnesses. "



To which we respectfully reply: "BULL SHIT!" Military personnel, innocent civilians in the areas bombed, children born to anyone exposed to depleted uranium weaponry, and potentially anyone who draws a breath, are all exposed to illnesses caused by depleted uranium.


Here are the symptoms of DU sicknesses and what to do if you are a military family and you suspect someone in your family is suffering from a DU sickness:



Depleted uranium has two different effects on the body, chemical poisoning and radiation poisoning. Symptoms are similar to those described as Gulf War Syndrome. DU may also cause respiratory problems and is known to elevate the risk of lung cancer and leukemia.
• Chronic Fatigue
• Neurological signs or symptoms
• Signs or symptoms involving upper or lower respiratory system
• Menstrual disorders
• Kidney problems
What Should One Do If These Symptoms Appear?
• Report them to a physician and get them on record. If they persist, do not be discouraged by military doctors who seem to brush them off. Return again and again if necessary as long as the symptoms persist.
• Those who are still on active duty should immediately register with DOD by calling 1-800-796-9699. Those who have left active military service should call the Veterans Administration at 1-800-PGW-VETS.
• Increase the frequency of screening for lung cancer and leukemia.

To read more about Lois and her son go here. Seriously, stop reading this blog right now and follow that link and read about Lois and her struggle.

Back so soon? Oh my, you are a fast reader! Our next step is to spread the word and to help people like Lois. Speak out against DU weapons on your blogs, in your communities, and anywhere people will listen. Write, call, or visit with your Congress people, tell them we need to stop the madness. Thell them we need to stop the insane war. And if they turn a deaf ear to you, tell them that you will vote them out of office.

Okay we'll get off our soapbox now, thanks for listening.
