NATO dumping DU radiation on Libyan civilians. 8000+ bombing strikes already.

NATO launched nearly 3,200 attacks with depleted uranium bombs against civilians in Libya. Sovereign Libya funds of $70 billion. Who's gonna steal that wealth?


Depleted uranium, weapon of mass destruction, is a radioactive substance that causes serious injuries in the renal and digestive tract, cancer in the lungs and bones and neuro-degenerative or congenital malformation in human beings.

The explosion of a DU munition reaches ten thousand degrees centigrade and releases highly toxic dust and contaminants that can travel thousands of miles.

The dissipation of these particles may last for millions of years, so its effects on the environment and the inhabitants of the areas affected are perpetuated for generations.

The robbery of Libyan funds will have a particularly strong impact in Africa. On this continent, the Libyan Arab African Investment Company made investments in over 25 countries, including 22 in sub-Saharan Africa, planning to increase them over the next five years, particularly in mining, manufacturing, tourism and telecommunications.

Western Aggression on Libya, Libya sovereign fund of $150 billion and growing

The objective of the war on Libya is not just oil, whose reserves (estimated at 60 billion barrels) are the most important in Africa and whose extraction costs are among the lowest in the world.

Not so little also, natural gas, whose reserves are estimated at about 1.5 trillion cubic metres.

In the crosshairs of "volunteers" of operation "unified protector" are also the sovereign funds, the wealth, the Libyan capital that the state invested abroad.

Sovereign funds managed by the Libyan Investment Authority (LIA) are estimated at 70 billion U.S. dollars, soaring to more than 150 when including foreign investment of the Central Bank and other bodies.

And they could be even more important. Although lower than that of Saudi Arabia or Kuwait, Libyan sovereign funds are characterized by their rapid growth.

The management of sovereign funds, in the hands of ministers and senior officials, however, created a new mechanism of power and corruption that probably escaped from Gaddafi's own control - as confirmed by the fact that in 2009 he proposed that the 30 billion dollars of oil dividends were to go "directly to the Libyan people." This has exacerbated the internal divisions within the Libyan government.

Depleted uranium bombing: America's covert nuclear war against humanity. US epidemic of radiation related diseases.


Nuclear Weapons Fallout
The radiation fallout map from Under The Cloud: The Decades of Nuclear Testing illustrates the effects of 1200 nuclear weapons tests conducted at the Nevada Test Site.

The U.S. Government admitted in November, 2002, that every person living in the United States between 1958 and 1963 was exposed to fallout from nuclear weapons testing.

The United States has an epidemic of radiation related diseases: cancer, heart disease, autism, diabetes, Parkinson's Disease, Lou Gehrigs (ALS), asthma, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, hypothyroidism in newborns, obesity, and learning disabilities.
One out of 12 children in the United States is disabled.

The breast cancer areas in the Western United States are correlated with nuclear weapons facilities and/or nuclear power plants.

The long-term effects from over a decade of DU exposure are emerging in southern Iraq. They are devastating.

battlefield use of circa 400 tons of depleted-uranium munitions in Iraq 91 (and of about 40 tons in Yugoslavia)

The increased levels of DU used in Afghanistan in 2001 (1000 tons), and Iraq in 2003 (over 2000 tons) are many times greater than on the battlefields of Iraq in 1991 (340 tons).
This time the cities, water supplies, infrastructure have been bombed into radioactive rubble where people are living and will continue to live

800 tons of DU is radioactive atomicity equivalent to 83,000 Nagasaki bombs



DU - Depleted uranium, having been used in Yugoslavia bombing, Iraq and Afghanistan occupations because of its armor piercing properties, is radioactive and indiscriminate cancer causing agent, especially when aerosolised after impact.

DU should be banned, and declared a nuclear weapon and a weapon of mass destruction.
