USA bombing of nuclear waste dumps – an experiment on Hawaiian population

” In effect, the NRC is licensing Hawaii nuclear waste dumps and allowing those dumps to be bombed, spreading the nuclear dump debris wherever the wind takes it

Of course,  this isn’t an act of stupidity, but rather cunning. How else to test the response of a healthy population to scattered toxic debris? The people of Iraq aren’t good subjects cause they get hit directly, and soldiers are always in the proximity of DU. But to test the effects of a limited attack by an enemy, say, the U.S. Air Force, what better subjects than the people of Hawaii, which is far enough away from the “mainland” to avoid contaminating the integrity of the test?

We Had to Bomb the Nuclear Waste Dump in order to Save It Dissident Voice, by The Phantom / December 15th, 2012 “….. It seems the All-knowing U.S. Military has been using depleted uranium weapons to take out…depleted uranium…

According to the Malu’aina, the “Center for Non-violent Education and Action” in Ola’a (Kurtistown) Hawai’i   (http://malu-aina.org/), the U.S. has been expoding DU rounds and other ordnance near populated areas in Hawaii.

“The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will be issuing a license for the mongoose to guard the hen house in Hawaii.  The Army will be issued an NRC license to possess Depleted uranium (DU) in Hawaii at Schofield Barracks and the Pohakuloa Training Area
(PTA),”  wrote Jim Albertini on  malu-aina.org.

” In effect, the NRC is licensing Hawaii nuclear waste dumps and allowing those dumps to be bombed, spreading the nuclear dump debris wherever the wind takes it” the Malu’aina website states.

Bombing nuclear waste dumps. Now that’s pathological….. “We take care of everything!” the armed forces seem to

be saying.  Or more to the point, “We have to bomb the
nuclear waste-dump in order to save it…”

Albertini points out that “DU exists at Schofield
Barracks and PTA, and perhaps other present and former
military sites in Hawaii, including Kaho’olawe and
Makua Valley. A minimum of 700, perhaps more than 2000,
DU Davy Crockett spotting rounds have been fired at
Pohakuloa.

Albertini seems to imply that the US Military values
its bombs, the very act of bombing, more than the
health and safety of US citizens and even its own
troops. Then again, he does claim that uranium is
showing up in Hawai’i residents’ urine…

“DU cluster bombs, and more than a dozen DU penetrating
rounds, DU bunker busters, etc. may also have been
fired at PTA and elsewhere,” he writes. “What’s needed
is a peoples’ movement of non-violent resistance to
stop the bombing to protect the people and land of
Hawaii against attacks by the U.S. military.”

People are going to have to risk arrest — and you can
be sure there’ll be arrests if people resist, however
non-violently — in order to stop the U.S. military
from bombing the waste of their own bombs and other
nuclear refuse.

This is beyond madness. Dr. Strangelove would look at

you funny if you suggested bombing a pile of garbage.
But at least it shows they recognize the waste dumps as
a problem. The unfortunate thing is, they have one way
and one way only of dealing with any problem…

You can reach the Malu ‘Aina Center For Non-violent
Education & Action at  www.malu-aina.org to let them
know you’re aware of their plight. This issue goes
beyond the fact that these sites probably shouldn’t be
there in the first place, much less unregulated and
licensed to the military…but to bomb nuclear waste?
