Why these leukemias aren’t caused by toxins

My comment: Only radiation induces leukemia at such an early onset after exposure.

Caregiving: WTC’s toxic dust clouds

By ALEX CUKAN

ALBANY, N.Y., Sept. 14 (UPI) — It’s one thing to be killed or injured in a terrorist attack, but it’s quite another to die or become ill because government bureaucrats give incorrect or conflicting reports.

That’s what makes the plight of 40,000 first responders, construction workers and volunteers so tragic, because as they stepped up to rescue people from the burning World Trade Center and later dig through rubble looking for body parts, government officials did not stress respiratory precautions.

“Given the scope of the tragedy from last week, I am glad to reassure the people of New York and Washington that their air is safe to breath and their water is safe to drink,” Christie Whitman, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency in 2001, said one week after the attacks.

When the first tower collapsed releasing a toxic dust cloud in Lower Manhattan, I knew the dust would be harmful, but no one seemed to be wearing a respirator — a few wore a disposable dust mask, which would provide little protection in this type of situation. I called several government agencies hoping that if there was a respirator shortage I could make it public and perhaps a company would provide respirators quickly.

All the agencies said respirators would be provided, but the response of the New York State Emergency Management Office was the most memorable.

“Little lady, if they need respirators, they’ll have respirators,” a spokesman for the SEMO told me on Sept. 13, 2001. Actually, the respirators weren’t available until several weeks into the recovery, and when they arrived, workers and volunteers said they were told the wrong respirators had been ordered.

I started reporting on the Sept. 11 attacks minutes after the first plane crashed, and after the first two weeks I was editing the daily updates on the World Trade Center six days a week. The days were long, but when I had the chance I tried to confirm what government officials were saying about the potential health effects at Ground Zero. It was like nailing Jell-O to the wall.

Whitman continued to make statements on the safety of air and water in Lower Manhattan, and in turn, New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said the air quality near Ground Zero “is safe.”

“I’m no expert on it. So I have to rely on the EPA and the state agencies and the city agencies and the private monitoring,” the mayor said. “And all of that says the problems that this created are not dramatic. They’re not health-threatening.”

“You smell it and you feel there must be something wrong, but what I’m told is it’s not dangerous to your health,” he added.

Indeed, the New York City Health Department said because asbestos was used in the construction of the Twin Towers, some asbestos was found in dust, debris and air samples, and individuals working in the area have been advised to take precautions.

“However, most of the air samples have been below levels of concern,” the EPA said.

In turn, the New York City Health Department said the risk of developing an asbestos-related illness following an exposure of short duration is extremely low.

I dare say that in the past 20 years there hasn’t been a mayor in New York state that hasn’t dealt with asbestos abatement for schools and public buildings.

Asbestos abatement has strict procedures to prevent the asbestos fibers from spreading throughout the building, and the workers are required to wear moon suits, gloves, protective eyewear and respirators. They also need training, which usually takes about one day.

One EMS volunteer told me that in the first few days at Ground Zero there were people who had bleeding eyes and were coughing continually, but they would not stop for anything as they looked for survivors.

Some had respirators but did not wear them. Wearing a respirator is no fun; it’s hot and it can be hard to breathe and requires some training — usually a half-hour — to ensure it fits correctly. Part of the training is explaining the risks of not wearing the respirator.

“For the respirators to work properly, a person needs some training because they must not have any facial hair, but there are still are lot of beards and mustaches on people working at the site,” a worker safety advocate told me five years ago.

Because of the special circumstances, Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulatory control over Ground Zero was removed, so there wasn’t anyone really enforcing worker safety.

By the end of September 2001 the U.S. Geological Survey had done extensive field testing and found the WTC dust was quite alkaline with a pH of 9.5 to 11.5, which can be corrosive to the skin, eyes and respiratory system. For an article, the USGS told me that its testing results indicated “clean-up of dust and debris should be done with appropriate respiratory and dust control measures.” Again, not a surprise for anyone familiar with concrete or building demolition.

This is the amount of fuel (3,500 gallons) that remained to cause the fire in the Twin Tower according to FEMA.

The US Government’s Usage of Atomic Bombs – Domestic – WTC

By Ed Ward, MD

Declassified August 1958: “Mere fact that the U. S. has developed atomic munitions suitable for use in demolition work.” Declassified January 1967, “The fact that we are interested in and are continuing studies on a weapon for minimizing the emerging flux of neutrons and internal induced activity.” Declassified March 1976, “The fact of weapon laboratory interest in Minimum Residual Radiation (MRR) devices. The fact of successful development of MRR devices.”

The factual evidence indicates that our government is using and has used 3rd or possibly 4th generation hydrogen bombs domestically and internationally. The evidence for international usage is not quite as strong as the domestic usage, but when domestic usage is considered, the international usage seems inescapable. The process of exclusion based on the known facts leaves only one viable option for the destruction of the World Trade Center (WTC) buildings – a relatively pure hydrogen bomb.

Just some of the facts are: widespread cancer in the responders, molten steel, melted cars, steel beams hurled hundreds of feet, aerosolized metals, vaporized steel witnessed and video, aerosolized and pulverized concrete, elevated tritium levels, vanishing (vaporized) victims, only sliver fragments of victims on roof tops, EMP – Electro Magnetic Pulse effects on communications, hundreds of eyewitness testimony of ancillary explosions by heroic rescuers and victims, massive dispersal of debris, demolition expert states hydrogen bomb needed for this type of demolition, audio of a massive explosion prior to collapse, video of ancillary explosions, audio of ancillary explosions, significant reduction in debris pile, ancillary thermate found in wreckage, shockwave of a mini yield nuclear blast knocked people off their feet, vaporization of 200,000 gallons of water, removal of wreckage without investigation, only remnants of fire in one tower minutes after the plane collision, unprecedented history of 3 skyscrapers collapsing secondary to fire, early miscalculation stating WTC building 7 ‘pulled’, towers fall at demolition or free fall speed, foreknowledge of WTC 7 immediate collapse, slow-motion video evidence of plane appendage with smoke and explosion immediately prior to impact of both planes, unprecedented NORAD non response to variant flights, FEMA drill scheduled for same day, military ‘exercise’ of exactly what was taking place to prevent NORAD response, most of NORAD protection planes sent far away in another ‘exercise’ to prevent response, prevention of examination of wreckage by those assigned to investigate, seismic evidence of a mini yield nuclear explosion, Cheney takes over NORAD response command, Cheney prevents NORAD response, WTC towers designed for 757 collision and fire, 911 used falsely for previously planned war, government fabrication of ‘evidence’ correlation for starting war, hundreds of people found themselves trapped by locked doors and missing escape routes above and below the impact zone, and not all inclusively, but finally, Bush brands anyone noting any of these facts a terrorist.

The spectrum and percentages of cancer are massive. There are at least 4 classifications of blood-cell cancers: leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s and myeloma. There are many more classifications of soft tissue cancers. There is brain cancer. There is breast cancer. For most of these there are subclassifications of many different types of specific cancer in each, so far not publicly disclosed. There are huge percentages of respiratory distress and loss of function. Multiple reports of ‘irregular cycles’ (miscarriages?). Most likely there will be several more types of cancer to follow. In particular, responders should be checked for thyroid cancer and function. There has been no noting of birth defects which also needs to be done. There is one thing and only one thing that can cause all these cancers and problems – RADIATION.
In response to this myriad of disease, a statement of environmental mercury has been claimed. That claim is not verified in testing of air and particle debris samples by private citizens and organizations. It is possible the mercury quotes are from the federal source of science, the United States Geological Survey’s analysis of the WTC dust debris. The USGS’s leached analysis did show mercury at the 3rd lowest concentration of metals at the mean value (mv) of 0.011 parts per Billion (ppB). The most abundant element concentration in the leaching tests was Strontium at 1,000 ppB (1 ppM) – 100,000 times more than the mercury value. It appears that the leaching of the sample was only partial and inadequate as the reader will see from the spectrometry values.

Why would only mercury be quoted when there were so many other more dangerous elements at higher concentrations than mercury? While the regular elements like Copper – mv 136 ppM, Silver – mv 1.66 ppM, and Vanadium – mv 31 ppM, some of the other significant elements were: Barium – mv 533 ppM, Strontium – mv 727 ppM, Cerium – mv 91 ppM, Yttrium – mv 57 ppM, Lanthanum – mv 46 ppM, Molybdenum – mv 11 ppM, Thorium – mv 9 ppM, Uranium – mv 3 ppM, Beryllium – mv 3 ppM, and Cesium – mv 0.6 ppM – partial listing. For readers that are not familiar with most of these elements, here is a link to their relevance.

There is also a claim of environmental benzene that ‘permeated’ the area in jet fuel as the cause of all of these problems. Once again, we have the quoting of the miraculous jet fuel that burns up in a massive fireball in the first few minutes, then like Christ’s feeding the multitudes, still causes a massive fire inside that reaches the temperatures of a Hades that weakens massive fire proofed steel beams and trusses, then resurrects itself on the permeated ground to cause cancer in one hour of limited exposure.

In less than 1 hour, the first WTC building had collapsed and covered Manhattan, in at least 1/3 of a Million Tons of particulate debris. Unless the jet fuel makes a final appearance and is again resurrected by NIST in it’s 3rd miracle, benzene is buried under 1/3 of a million tons of particulate debris after 56 minutes of exposure. Benzene is also a component of gasoline. The assertion that cancer was the result of 56 minutes of exposure to minimal amounts of benzene is ludicrous. If that was true, everyone in the US would be suffering from cancers. As the 3rd WTC building falls, Manhattan is covered in two Billion pounds of pulverized and aerosolized building.
Two billion pounds seemed like an extremely large amount of particulate matter from buildings whose total weight has been quoted at around 3 billion pounds. Debris removal has been quoted at 1.2 billion pounds. Based on these rough numbers 2/3rds of the building was indeed turned to dust or vaporized.

Medical effects of nuclear bombing in Afghanistan

According to Hank, under the cover of massive DU-tipped bombs that raised dirty mushroom clouds in thunderous explosions that rained radioactive dust over Jalalabad and nearby villages, the first nuclear bombs dropped since Basra in 1991 were detonated by American forces in Afghanistan beginning in March 2002. Before their field tests were concluded, United States forces would explode four 5-kiloton GBU-400 nuclear bombs in Tora Bora and other mountainous regions of Afghanistan.[….]

WATCH THE BIRDIES

Meanwhile, Taliban fighters pounded night and day north of Kabul were dying from no visible injuries – except the blood flowing out of their mouths from internal bleeding. Near the Rish-Khor military base in the Afghan northern capitol, birds sat on tree branches with blood running from their beaks. As one eyewitness later recounted, “‘We were amazed to see all these birds sitting quietly on branches. But when we shook the tree the birds fell down and we saw blood coming out of their mouths. Then we climbed the trees to see those that were still stuck on tree branches, all of them had bled from their mouths. Two of the birds appeared to be partly melted into the trees branches’.”

According to PhD Mohammed Daud Miraki, who collected many first-hand accounts on the after-effects of heavy U.S. bombing, “many dead Taliban soldiers had severe discoloration of the skin, orange, without being burned, while others had their rifles melted in their hands.”

A medical doctor named Wazir reported, “Most of the victims have had respiratory problems and internal bleeding for which there is no apparent cause.” [khalifa.com Oct 30/01]

Were these symptoms caused by the massive concussive blasts of fuel-air bombs?

Very likely. When American jets dropped bunker busters at daybreak on the mud homes of Karam, the village was completely destroyed in massive craters. Many residents were killed from what appeared to be internal concussive injuries.

But other victims of American bombing exhibited symptoms of radiation sickness. In describing “another bizarre, yet tragic scene,” Dr, Mohammed continued, “Many Taliban soldiers that survived the bombing in the north have died after returning to their native villages in the south and southeast of the country. They had no physical injury upon their death, however, died from internal bleeding and other bizarre symptoms including uncontrolled vomiting, diarrhea, and blood loss in urine and stool. Their families were shocked with disbelieves.” [Afghan DU & Recovery Fund]

Perplexed by such symptoms, and uniquely “hot” munitions debris, medical teams and technical experts thought they were looking at “enhanced” Non-Depleted Uranium from a new generation of radioactive cannon shells, bomb and missile casings.

In fact, they were very likely looking at severe contamination from actual nuclear weapons.[….]

Alerted to the “radioactive, toxic uranium alloys and hard-target uranium warheads used by the coalition forces,” the UMRC team started looking for radiation poisoning. What they found was, in their words, “astonishing” and “astounding”.

Identifying “several hundred people suffering from illnesses and conditions similar to those of Gulf veterans,” the team began administering tests. “Without exception, every person donating urine specimens tested positive for uranium internal contamination,” UMRC reported. But the readings were off the scale of previous known DU exposures: “The results were astounding: the donors presented concentrations of toxic and radioactive uranium isotopes between 100 and 400 times greater than in the Gulf veterans tested in 1999.”

A control group three uncontaminated Afghans averaged 9.4 nanograms of uranium per litre of urine. The average for 17 randomly selected patients Jalalabad, Kabul, Tora Bora and Mazar-i-Sharif was 315.5 nanograms. A 12-year-old boy living near Kabul displayed 2,031 nanograms.

The maximum permissible level for members of the American public is 12 nanograms per litre. [….]

Other medical survey teams also reported that in bombardments of the Tora Bora, Shaikoot and Bagram frontline, “large number of antiaircraft weapons and rifles had melted… Many Taliban soldiers were seen with blood coming out from their mouths, noses and ears.” Those who returned to their villages “started to vomit blood and had bloody stools. Subsequently, many have died from their conditions.”

After the bombardment in Khost, public health workers reported seeing skin lesions. In a manner resembling the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Afghan people who developed skin lesions died after their conditions deteriorated.

In Pachir Wa Agam district near Tora Bora, “women started to suffer from a deadly condition. Several months after the bombing, women of the area would become angry by petty things and that anger turns into rage, which subsequently causes the women to collapse and die. My team also reported that many children are born with no limbs, no eyes, or tumors protruding out from their mouths and their eyes,” its leader related.

“Subsequent to the contamination, newborn children have physical deformities, and those that do not have physical deformity are suffering from Mental Retardation. These cases are reported from Paktia, Nangarhar, Bagram, Mazar-i-Sharif and Kunduz,” the UMRC stated.[..]

According to Mohammed Daud Miraki’s extensive public health survey, “Most of the people that developed various health problems have died; others suffer from conditions such as kidney disease/failure, confusion, and loss of immunity and painful joints.”

Dr. Durakovic told reporters, “If UMRC’s Nangarhar findings are corroborated in other communities across Afghanistan, the country faces a severe public health disaster… every subsequent generation is at risk.” [BBC May3/03]

By October 2002, Afghan doctors citing rapid deaths from internal ailments were accusing the coalition of using chemical and radioactive weapons. The symptoms they reported (hemorrhaging, pulmonary constriction and vomiting) could have resulted from radiation contamination. [LeMonde Diplomatique Mar/02]

But inhalation, ingestion or wound-contamination by Depleted Uranium particles does not lead to such acute radiation poisoning symptoms immediately after exposure.
