David BayTruly, these are perilous times.Tue Apr 22 01:07:06 2003208.152.73.57 * Dick Cheney is a Master Mason! "Who is Dick Cheney?", Harry S. Truman Masonic Lodge, http://www.harrystrumanfreemasons.org/current_highest_mason.htm As reported on this page, Vice President Dick Cheney is the highest ranking government official who is a Freemason. This information is highly relevant since Cheney is so influential in the Bush Administration he has been called "Co-President" by some. Now you know why this Administration is so closely following Illuminist policy and planning. This story just reflects one more instance of bad spiritual fruit being produced by the president.* "U.S. to formally declare Iraq victory: Proclamation to be unveiled in next few days, Australia says", MSNBC News, April 20, 2003."The United States and its allies will declare victory in the war in Iraq in the next few days, coalition member Australia said on Sunday ... U.S. forces are still hunting for Saddam Hussein and other top Iraqi officials, and have still not found Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction, the justification for the U.S.-led invasion on March 20."The problem with declaring "victory" over an enemy you have not subdued in battle, and whose military men and equipment have not been accounted for, is that, just as soon as you declare victory, Saddam could re-emerge with his preserved forces and greatly embarrass you. In fact, I worry that we have now sent three aircraft carriers out of the Persian Gulf, and are reportedly sending some air force planes back as well. In the battle reports of the first two weeks, we read that the major difference in our forces over the Iraqis was provided by our air cover. If Saddam were to fool us into sending much of that air cover out of Iraq, he could then strike with his hidden forces and do battle with a US army on the ground that is minus its major weapon, at least for a while. In the time it would take to send aircraft carriers back to the Persian Gulf, how many men would we lose?Remember, Saddam made only sparse use of his Russian-made antitank rifle that was effective in the southern regions when he chose to use it. Additionally, Saddam never did use his shoulder-fired antiaircraft missiles said to be very effective against helicopters. Saddam never used any of his several thousand HIND attack helicopters, reportedly because he did not want to lose them against overwhelming US air might; but, we just sent that air might back home!Perhaps these reasons are why a recent Gallup Poll showed that fully 70% of all Americans think this war is not over yet!* "Death By Slow Burn - How America Nukes Its Own Troops", by Amy Worthington The Idaho Observer, 4-16-3."America's mega-billion dollar war in Iraq has been indeed a NUCLEAR WAR. Bush-Cheney have delivered upon 17 million Iraqis tons of depleted uranium (DU) weapons, a 'liberation' gift that will keep on giving. Depleted uranium is a component of toxic nuclear waste, usually stored at secure sites. Handlers need radiation protection gear. Over a decade ago, war-makers decided to incorporate this lethal waste into much of the Pentagon's weaponry. Navy ships carrying Phalanx rapid fire guns are capable of firing thousands of DU rounds per minute. Tomahawk missiles launched from U.S. ships and subs are DU-tipped. The M1 Abrams tanks are armored with DU. These and British Challenger II tanks are tightly packed with DU shells, which continually irradiate troops in or near them. The A-10 'tank buster' aircraft fires DU shells at machines and people on the battlefield."DU munitions are classified by a United Nations resolution as illegal weapons of mass destruction. Their use breaches all international laws, treaties and conventions forbidding poisoned weapons calculated to cause unnecessary suffering ... When a DU shell is fired, it ignites upon impact. Uranium, plus traces of plutonium and americium, vaporize into tiny, ceramic particles of radioactive dust. Once inhaled, uranium oxides lodge in the body and emit radiation indefinitely. A single particle of DU lodged in a lymph node can devastate the entire immune system according to British radiation expert Roger Coghill ... battlefield soldiers who inhale or swallow high levels of DU can suffer kidney failure within days. Any soldier now in Iraq who has not inhaled potentially lethal radioactive dust is not breathing. In the first two weeks of combat, 700 Tomahawks, at a cost of $1.3 million each, blasted Iraqi real estate into radioactive mushroom clouds. Millions of DU tank rounds liter the terrain. Cleanup is impossible because there is no place on the planet to put so much contaminated debris."Dr. Asaf Durakovic, a professor of nuclear medicine at Georgetown University, is a former army medical expert ... He found that 62 percent of sick vets (from Gulf War I) tested have uranium isotopes in their organs, bones, brains and urine. Laboratories in Switzerland and Finland corroborated his findings ... Nothing compares to the astronomical cancer rates and birth defects suffered by the Iraqi people ... As an Army health physicist, Dr. Doug Rokke was dispatched to the Middle East to salvage DU-contaminated tanks after Gulf War I. His Geiger counters revealed that the war zones of Iraq and Kuwait were contaminated with up to 300 millirems an hour in beta and gamma radiation plus thousands to millions of counts per minute in alpha radiation. Rokke recently told the media: "The whole area is still trashed. It is hotter than heck over there still. This stuff doesn't go away.""DU remains "hot" for 4.5 billion years. Radiation expert Dr. Helen Caldicott confirms that the dust-laden winds of DU-contaminated war zones 'will remain effectively radioactive for the rest of time.' The murderous dust storms which ensnared coalition troops during the first few days of the current invasion are sure to have significant health consequences ... "Coalition Troops have already fulfilled the End of the Age prophecy of Isaiah 13:5, in that they have seized the whole land; is it possible we have also silently fulfilled the rest of the prophecy of "destroying the whole land"? Only time will tell, but it is possible that our intensive bombing -- including our "shock and awe" -- provided a silent but incredibly lethal dosage of depleted uranium throughout the land.* "Prove Iraqi guilt, MPs tell Blair", by Nicholas Watt, Michael White, James Meek in Baghdad and Oliver Burkeman in Washington, Saturday April 19, 2003, The Guardian Unlimited."Tony Blair is facing the threat of a fresh rebellion from Labour backbenchers who are growing increasingly alarmed that the failure to uncover weapons of mass destruction in Iraq will confirm that the war was illegal. As a 1,000-strong Anglo-American task force of inspectors prepares to search hundreds of suspicious sites, Labour MPs are demanding an inquiry to establish whether MI6 misled ministers about Iraq's weapons programme ... The doubts about Iraq's WMD programme mean that some Labour MPs will be sceptical even if a 'smoking gun' is uncovered. Mr Hinchliffe said there was a 'cynical view' among Labour MPs that the coalition inspectors will doctor the evidence."America's Senator Robert Byrd declared before the US launched this war that the "rumor" was that America had falsified the documents they had put forth to "prove" that Saddam possessed Weapons of Mass Destruction. If the US and/or Great Britain cannot prove Saddam had nuclear weapons, then our invasion would be viewed by the international community as illegal, just as this article states. Further, if we really have used great quantities of depleted uranium munitions, as the article above reports, then the entire US effort might be viewed as worthy of an international criminal indictment!Truly, these are perilous times.------------------------------------------------------ READ MORE: The Evil Dick Cheney http://www.apfn.org/APFN/DCHENEY.HTM READ THIS OUTSTANDING NEWSLETTER: http://cuttingedge.org/newsletters/ ======================================================= SCRATCHING THE SURFACE - Dr. Lynne V.
