Diabetes and depleted uranium

Italian embassy refuses visa
by Bob Nichols

Tanks destroyed by depleted uranium munitions litter Iraq, but these
children are not warned that by playing in the ruins they are exposing
themselves to diseases that may plague them all their lives and deform their
future children.

June 29, 2006 - "You are not being truthful about the purpose of your visit
to Italy. What is your interest in diabetes and depleted uranium?" the
Italian consul in Bombay demanded to know.

"I am just traveling to Italy to meet with Leuren Moret," the famous Indian
doctor answered.

Leuren Moret recounted the episode in an interview June 29, 2006. She said,
"The doctor had never mentioned either diabetes or depleted uranium."

The Italian government official was grilling one of the leading doctors in
India. This "interview" at the Italian embassy took place June 27, 2006, in
Bombay, India. The doctor had traveled to Italy several times before and did
not expect such outrageous treatment. The consul denied the doctor
permission to travel to Italy to meet with Moret.

The doctor had said nothing about diabetes and nothing about depleted
uranium. The embassy official had just let the cat out of the bag and
confirmed the link between the global epidemic of diabetes and the use of
depleted uranium by the U.S.-U.K. expeditionary forces in Iraq, Afghanistan
and the former Yugoslavia.

The official could only have known about the diabetes link to depleted
uranium from the U.S. State Department and the source of it all: the
Lawrence Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab, "managed" for 61 years by the
University of California. The University of California nuclear weapons labs
are the core of the nuclear weapons program in the U.S., the only remaining
superpower.

The clumsy intervention by a superpower in the travel plans of a private
individual to confer with a scientific colleague about global public health
concerns highlights the explosive significance that the U.S. attaches to
uncontrolled information about the global epidemic of diabetes.

On May 29, Moret charged the University of California and the Los Alamos and
Livermore Nuclear Weapons Labs with engineering the largest global increase
of diabetes in history and trying to cover it up.

Fine uranium dust, vaporized into a poison radioactive gas by exploding
uranium bombs, missiles and bullets, hitches a ride on dry desert winds to
circle the globe in days.

Dr. Chris Busby, a leading British radiation expert, got data from a nuclear
weapons air monitoring facility at Aldemaston, England, which identified
depleted uranium in the British atmosphere only nine days after the "shock
and awe" carpet bombing of Baghdad, started in March of 2003.
