A plea for justice from CFR victims! Silenced by the UK Science Media Centre?

Allied NATO Government is hiding millions of
infectious NON HIV AIDS cases (like mine) under the “Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome (CFS)” ICD-code.

– Dr. Lorraine Day was on Joyce Riley’s military show THE POWER HOUR (9/12):”…HIV-Negative AIDS cases falsely reported and treated as CFS cases may be one of the biggest cover-ups we have seen.”

– In 1992 “…Newsweek made an even more shocking
announcement: …CFS patients who had the same immune system deficiencies as the NON-HIV AIDS cases…”

– Dr. Judy Mikovits stated on In Short Order (11/12) about CFS & Myalgic Encephalopathy (ME): “…consider this as NON HIV AIDS.”

– Neenyah Ostrom’s book “America’s Biggest Cover-up: 50
More Things…CFS & Its Link To AIDS” cites: “Some CFS
Patients May Be Non-HIV AIDS Cases.”

– NON HIV AIDS has been censored from mainstream media since 1992 (i.e., suspiciously, the same year that the *very mysterious* Gulf War Syndrome (GWS) presented).

Will GWS, CFS or AIDS ever make any progress unless we acknowledge these horrific facts?

My case goes up through the NIH, CDC, White House, WHO, to the UN.  I testified federally in Washington-DC, and am published 16 times on 4 continents (including PEOPLE’S VOICE, FROM THE TRENCHES WORLD REPORT, & FUSE MAGAZINE).

I hope that you will support this humanitarian issue, and
spread-the-news too (e.g., write a story, add to your e*Newsletter and/or

on Facebook/Twitter).

IPPNW to Prime Minister Abe: “Cancel Rokkasho”

IPPNW’s co-presidents have sent the following letter to the Prime Minister of Japan, Shinzō Abe, urging him to halt plans for nuclear fuel reprocessing, calling the program “unnecessary and hazardous” and “not consistent with Japan’s stated support for achieving a world freed from nuclear weapons.”

——-

September 23, 2013

http://peaceandhealthblog.com/2013/09/25/rokkasho/

Your Excellency,

We write on behalf of physicians in 62 countries to express our concern at Japan’s intention to start commercial operation of the Rokkasho spent nuclear fuel reprocessing plant next year, and to urge your government not to proceed with the operation of the Rokkasho plant.

The goal of our federation is to safeguard global health from the threat of nuclear annihilation, which the World Health Organization has identified as “the greatest immediate threat to human health and welfare”. In 1985 IPPNW was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for performing “a considerable service to mankind by spreading authoritative information and by creating an awareness of the catastrophic consequences of atomic warfare.”

Nuclear weapons could not exist without fissile materials – highly enriched uranium and plutonium. If humanity is to enjoy a healthy and sustainable future, we must achieve a world freed from nuclear weapons, before they are ever again used. We are in a race against time to ensure this. Achieving a world free of the extreme humanitarian threat posed by nuclear weapons will require not only disarmament, but also minimising and wherever possible eliminating further production of fissile materials, and wherever possible eliminating existing stocks. Extreme levels of security are required for any remaining fissile material. This will be a massive task that cannot be undertaken too soon. The authoritative International Panel on Fissile Materials estimated global stockpiles in January 2013 to be 1390 tons of highly enriched uranium, with 31 countries possessing at least 1 kg; and 490 tons of separated plutonium. Each US nuclear weapon is known to contain on average just 4 kg of plutonium.

Japan already possesses 44 tons of plutonium – enough for more than 5000 nuclear bombs, even allowing a high quantity of 8 kg of plutonium per weapon.Japan is the only country without nuclear weapons to be separating plutonium from spent reactor fuel. Further accumulation of nuclear weapons-usable material is a concern for the international community, particularly for Japan’s North-east Asian neighbours. These concerns are accentuated by the lack of forseeable uses for this large and growing quantity of plutonium. Some Japanese politicians over the years have indeed drawn attention to the potential nuclear weapons arsenal that could be produced from such a plutonium stockpile within just a few months. Whatever the Japanese government’s current stated intention, which we have no reason to doubt, political intentions can change very quickly in comparison to the half-life of plutonium. Further, the mere existence of such a stockpile poses a risk of diversion and theft, and fuels fissile material production programs and the drivers for nuclear proliferation in other countries.

China’s nuclear strategy is more transparent, says Foreign Ministry

http://br.china-embassy.org/por/szxw/t1082820.htm

Beijing 29 sept 2013 (Xinhua) –

China’s nuclear strategy is the most transparent among the nuclear powers of the world, said on Friday a spokesman of the Foreign Ministry of China, Hong Law

Hong pointed out in a press conference that China is not satisfied with the statements made by Minister of Foreign Affairs of Japan, Fumio Kishida on nuclear strategy.

According to media reports, Fumio Kishida said on Thursday in New York that improving the transparency of nuclear capacity is a precondition for reducing the number of nuclear weapons, and mentioned that it would serve to contain China and other countries that continually increase their nuclear capabilities.

Hong said China firmly supports complete prohibition and destruction of all nuclear weapons while searching firmly nuclear strategy only for self-defense. In addition, the country adheres to a policy of no first attack in under any circumstances and took the unequivocal commitment not to use or threaten to using nuclear weapons against non-nuclear powers or against nuclear weapons-free zones, he added.

China has never placed nuclear weapons on another country or participated in any form of competition of nuclear weapons, said Hong, adding that China keeps its nuclear capability to a minimum, proportionate to its national security.

The international community must be aware that the statement about Japan’s “China military threat” causes tension, creates confrontation and does not constitute nothing more than an excuse to adjust its military policy, said.

Hong said China hopes that Japan reflects on the history, learn seriously with the story, follow the path of peaceful development and to do more to foster trust with its neighbors and regional peace and stability. End

UK media distort Rouhani, Obama call

30 September 2013

http://rinf.com/alt-news/breaking-news/uk-media-distort-rouhani-obama-call/74453/

President Barack Obama calls President Hassan Rouhani of Iran during a phone call in the Oval Office on September 27, 2013.

British media have hailed, but also soiled the facts of Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, who out of a gesture of kindness, accepted a call from U.S. President Barack Obama for 15 minutes.

The telephone conversation came on Friday after Iran held meetings at the UN General Assembly and marked the first time in 30-years that an Iranian president agreed to talk with their U.S. counterpart.

Although media in Britain hailed the conversation as a œhistoric achievement”, they continued by twisting and exaggerating the words of the leaders of both nations.

The Independent opened up its radical side and said, the October 28, nuclear negotiations with Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) are to œinvestigate suspicions that Iran worked secretly on trying to develop nuclear weapons”. As in previous visits, the IAEA has investigated and found no proof in its reports, while the U.S. and Israel continues to claim sites in Iran may have had traces of radioactive material.

(Translation by Mia)
When a parent whose baby had been born with polydactyly contacted Fukushima Medical University to ask for an operation for their child, they were told that they were very busy operating on babies with the same condition and had more than a hundred on their waiting list. They were also told they would have to wait another one or two years before the operation could be performed, as the bones in the fingers and hands need to be well developed.

Dear all, please do read the following article. A US student who stayed in Tohoku only several days even developed symptom of radiation exposure such as vomitting and nose bleeding.
皆さん、下の記事をご覧ください。東北に数日滞在しただけの米国の学生でさえ、嘔吐、鼻血などの症状を呈しています。
Pregnant women and children have been living in these contaminated areas in Japan.  Please help Japanese kids and future generations!
そんな場所に妊婦も子供もいる日本。どうか、日本の子供、未来世代を助けてください！

Dear Minister of Education Hakubun Shimomura,下村文部科学相へ

I use the words “in principle” because in April of this year I was forced to make one of the most difficult decisions of my teaching career at the tertiary level: I was forced to recommend to the university authorities where I was employed that they postpone their planned Study Abroad Program in Japan scheduled for the fall of 2013.
「原則的には」という言葉を使わせていただきます。今年4月、私は自分の高等教諭生活で最も難しい決断を迫られました。私が雇われている大学当局に、2013年秋に実施予定であった「日本での留学プログラム」の延期を勧告せざるを得ませんでした。

While I deeply regretted this recommendation, I honestly felt that in good conscience I had no choice. That is to say, in March 2013 I attended a two-day Fukushima-related medical seminar at the New York Academy of Sciences where I learned, for the first time, the full scope of the ongoing dangers posed by radiation contamination from the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant.
私はこの勧告自体は、非常に残念に思っています。しかし、私の両親に照らし合わせ、私 には他の選択肢はありませんでした。2013年3月に、ニューヨーク医学アカデミーで、私は2日間にわたる福島関連の医学セミナーに参加しました。そして 初めて、福島第一からの放射能汚染による進行中の危険についての全体像を学ぶことができたのです。
（翻訳者注：日本からの発言者は崎山比早子さんと松村昭雄さんでしたが、お二人とも福島事故による健康被害については触れていませんでした。
ですから、この方は恐らく2日目のランチミーティングで行われた、日本からの健康被害 報告を聞いていただけたのだと思います。がれき焼却問題を話した川井かつこさん、子供たちの外からもわかる甲状腺異常を話した橋本百合香さん、私も自分と 息子も含めた健康被害の話をさせていただきました～
自腹で行った甲斐が少しはありました。。。http://savekidsjapan.blogspot.jp/2013_06_01_archive.html
http://savekidsjapan.blogspot.jp/2013/04/ny-symposium-on-fukushimany.html）

This knowledge was compounded by the fact that, upon returning to my home in Yellow Springs, Ohio, I was contacted by a 2012 Study Abroad Program participant who informed me that she had suffered from such symptoms as vomiting, nosebleeds and recurring headaches, all symptoms typically associated with radiation contamination. I was forced to take action.
2012年の留学プログラムから私がオハイオのイエロースプリングの自宅に帰る際、一人の参加者が、この時得た知識と似たような症状を呈していました。嘔吐、鼻血、しつこい頭痛、放射線汚染と関連する典型的な症状でした。私は行動せずにはいられませんでした。

True, the student in question made a personal choice to visit the Tohoku region during the individual research period that was part of the Study Abroad Program. Thus, one reasonable response would have been to forbid 2013 students from travelling anywhere north of Tokyo. As I considered this option, however, I could not but recall the warnings given by nuclear and medical experts both inside and outside of Japan concerning the danger of additional major radiation contamination coming from Fukushima No. 1.
Thus, I regretfully came to the conclusion that I could not expose students, especially female students of childbearing age, to the possible danger of radiation contamination, and informed the university accordingly.
実際、この生徒はこの留学プログラムで、個人研究の期間は、東北を訪問場所として選んでいました。そういうことで、2013年の留学では、東京以北への訪問は禁じることが筋のある応対だと思いました。
そしてこの選択を考える際、福島第一からくる放射線汚染の新たな危険性について、日本以外の原子力や医療の専門家からの警告を思い起こさずにはいられませんでした。
そういうことで、残念ながら私は生徒を被曝させることはできない、特に子供を産む年齢の女生徒を放射能の危険性に晒させることはできないという結論にたどり着き、その旨を大学側に伝えました。

Sadly, in the ensuing months the situation at Fukushima No. 1 has only worsened. Only recently Tepco finally admitted that 2.35 billion becquerels of cesium per liter of water, roughly the same as that measured right after the crisis began in spring 2011, has accumulated in groundwater tested around Fukushima No. 1, from where it then seeps into the ocean.
残念なことに、福島第一はその後、悪化の一途をたどっています。最近になってやっと東電は、事故直後とだいたい同じ濃度のリットル当たり２３．５億ベクレルのセシウムが福島第一の地下にたまっており、海に流れ出していることを発表しました。

Needless to say, this amount of radiation is millions of times higher than Japan’s acceptable limit.
With this radiation now spewing uncontrolled into the ocean, it is no longer possible to simply avoid the danger by not traveling to the Fukushima area.
言うまでもなく、許容量の何百万倍もの放射能です。このような放射能がコントロールされずに海に流れ出し絵ちるのなら、福島にただ訪問しなければ回避されるという危険性ではありません。

That is to say, fish are swimming in an ever more heavily contaminated environment where radiation bio-accumulates in the seafood. Thus the largest fish, which eat the most, often live the longest and swim great distances, become the most contaminated, and it is simply impossible for the Japanese government, or any government, to check every fish caught to ensure its safety.
すなわち、魚は魚介類に生体濃縮が起きるため、さらにひどく汚染された状況で泳いでい ます。それで私たちが最もよく食する、長く生きて長距離泳ぐ大型の魚は、最も汚染されたものとなります。日本政府にもその他の政府にも、すべての魚を捕ま えて安全性を確認することは不可能です。

Another solution I seriously considered was for 2013 program students to become vegetarians while in Japan. However, to my dismay I recently learned, from an article published by the Fukushima Minpo newspaper on Jan. 24, that the Japanese government plans to purchase contaminated rice grown in Fukushima Prefecture (providing it contains less than 100 becquerels/kg) and later sell it nationwide.
私が真剣に考えたのは、2013年のプログラムで、生徒には日本にいる間、ベジタリア ンになってもらう事でした。しかし、がっかりしたのは、1月24日の福島民報によれば、日本政府が福島県で栽培された汚染米（１００Bq/kg以下を条件 として）を買い取り、全国で売る予定であるということでした。

I fully realize, Minister Shimomura, that you are not in charge of decisions related to Fukushima No. 1. But as a Cabinet minister, l appeal to you to add your voice to those demanding that effective measures be taken immediately.
下村大臣、私はあなたが福島第一関連の意思決定責任者でないことは存じています。しかし、閣僚として、実行力のある対策を早急にとるように求めていってほしいと思います。

Why the WHO report on congenital anomalies in Iraq is a disgrace

Christopher Busby is an expert on the health effects of ionizing radiation and Scientific Secretary of the European Committee on Radiation Risk.

Published time: September 28, 2013 04:20

http://rt.com/op-edge/who-iraq-report-disgrace-461/

The recently published World Health Organization report on its study of congenital birth anomalies in Iraq is nothing short of a disgrace.

There have been an increasing number of reports about childhood cancers, adult cancers and birth defects in Iraq. Public pressure and media attention to this catastrophic situation prompted a joint study by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Iraqi Health Ministry to determine the prevalence of birth defects in the country. The study began in May-June 2012 and was completed in early October 2012. But it was not made public until recently. And I have to say that those who designed and carried out the study were well aware that the method they chose could not possible give correct answers to the question of congenital anomaly rates, since they had consulted with me before they started, and I had pointed out why their method was unsafe, even sending them a report suggesting a method that would work.

In May 2011, I was asked to travel to Geneva by the Union of Arab Jurists to make my first presentation at the UN Human Rights Council, reporting our preliminary findings of extraordinarily high rates of cancer, infant mortality and sex ratio perturbations in the population of Fallujah, which we published in the International Journal of Environment and Public Health in 2010.  I met with the director of the Human Rights Council, and also with the director of the International Red Cross, and made the case for intervention.

There was massive anecdotal evidence of these genetic damage effects of the US uranium weapons since the mid-1990s and in Fallujah after the 2004 war, but no one had carried out any study. We collected some money from individuals (about £4,000) and marched in. What we found made headlines in The Daily Telegraph, Le Monde and all over the world. In that study, we examined infant mortality rather than congenital birth defects, for reasons we gave in the paper and I will review here.

Later we also published two other follow-up studies based on hospital data, one analyzing 52 elements in the hair of the parents of children with congenital anomalies, the other giving the congenital anomaly rates and types. Both were based on prospective collection of data by the pediatricians from Fallujah General Hospital, and so we could be sure of the types of anomaly and the numbers.

Reuters

I have to say that the fear generated by these discoveries made it extremely difficult to get the results published. The Lancet threw the papers out without sending them for review. The International Journal of Environment and Public Health was attacked after the first one, by various individuals they refused to name – and they wouldn’t publish the second one, which was published by Conflict and Health. The third one was also rejected by The Lancet and various other frightened journals and eventually was published by the Journal of the Islamic Medical Association, and then only after I asked them what Allah would think of their pusillanimous behavior. So much for scientific truth.

I pointed out to the WHO representative who contacted me in January 2011, Syed Jaffar Hussein, asking if I would join the WHO project, that the kind of questionnaire study that WHO were proposing would fail for two reasons. The first and most critical is that parents will not have sufficient knowledge to diagnose a congenital anomaly in their baby. For example, in the absence of hospital involvement at a high technical level (e.g. Fallujah Hospital) the baby will just die of what seems to the parents to be pneumonia, or failure to thrive, or the child will die for no apparent reason. In terms of congenital heart defects, or kidney defects, or many neurological defects there is no observable sign. And the type of monstrous defect, the Cyclops eye, the lack of arms, all the pictures on the Internet, these are a minor fraction of all the congenital defects that are fatal at birth. Generally the mother is not allowed to see such a baby and she is told it has died. It is the heart defects that make up the majority, and these are only diagnosable in a hospital pediatric unit.

The second problem I know about, since I have designed and carried out several questionnaire epidemiology studies since the pilot one in Carlingford, Ireland in 2000: it is that people can’t remember back even five years, let alone 15 years. And in a situation like Iraq, where having a child with a congenital defect means that you yourself are contaminated and damaged, the likelihood is that you will shortly be dead from cancer and a whole range of illnesses generated by the causes that killed your baby. So the questionnaire study loses cases as you go back in time. The WHO results clearly show this, since the rates they report are actually lower than expected, suggesting that living in Iraq is good for birth outcomes. They seem surprised by this.

So a hospital-based prospective study is the only way. And since this is such a political issue, I said I would only be involved if I could have a hands-on role so that the numbers could be checked, and that was the end of our communication.

The result is very shoddy procedure which would not make it into peer-review. The WHO says that its work and the report was peer-reviewed by senior epidemiologists at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, but if this is true these reviewers should be sent packing. The WHO report fails to refer to any of the studies, like our follow-up papers on uranium in Conflict and Health and the IMANA congenital anomaly rates one. There, for example, we looked at the uranium content along long strands of hair in mothers of birth-defect children and showed that the concentrations increased back to the time of the US attacks.

It is fairly easy to show that the WHO results are ridiculous. There was a previous similar study under Saddam’s regime for the period 1994-1999 which is of interest. This study also was not cited in the WHO report but was discussed in our paper which they must have read. The Iraqi child and maternal mortality survey covered 46,956 births in Iraq from 1994-1999. Results were obtained by questionnaires filled out by the mothers and results were given for all children aged 0-4 who died in 1994-1999. Effects found in this period, if due to environmental agents, would, of course, follow exposures in and following the first Gulf War. Using data presented in the tables in this publication it is easy to show that the results indicated a marked increase in deaths in the first year of life with an infant mortality (0-1) rate of 93 per 1,000 live births. Fifty-six percent of deaths in all the children aged 0-5 occurred in the first month after birth, but since the results were from self-reporting, it was difficult to draw conclusions as to the underlying causes of death except in the case of oncology/hematology. For example, the largest reported proportion of deaths in the neonates were listed as “cough/difficulty breathing” which might result from many different underlying causes. The low rates from congenital malformation reported are hardly credible (Table 1). However, using data published in the report it appeared that the cancer and leukemia death rates in the entire all-Iraq 0-4 group were about three or four times the levels found in Western populations for this age group (Table 1). These rates were three times higher in the south where depleted uranium was employed in the major tank battles near the Kuwait border (53 per 100,000 per year) than in the north (18 per 100,000 per year) where there was less fighting and where depleted uranium was not employed to such an extent. Furthermore, cancer and leukemia rates were highest in the 0-1 year group, which is unusual; the main peak in childhood cancer is generally found at age 4.

Despite all that can be said about the methodology, it is extremely hard to reconcile the WHO study’s finding of an overall congenital anomaly rate of 23.6 with the rate of 147 we found in Fallujah General Hospital, reported by us in. In Table 2, I copy the full results which were submitted in this congenital anomaly paper. It is clear from this that the majority of conditions could not be recognized by mothers of children who died at or shortly after birth. Of 291 babies with congenital abnormalities in our Fallujah hospital study, 113 were cardiovascular, 40 digestive, 9 genitourinary and 44 chromosomal defects, few of which could be recognized as congenital anomalies by mothers, and would need specialized diagnoses in a top hospital to classify.

Reuters / Ceerwan Aziz

It is shown in Table 2 that the rate for congenital heart effects alone is twice the rate reported in the WHO study.  Of particular concern is the outcome of the “Expert Peer Group” meeting on 27-28 July, 2013, which apparently endorsed this epidemiologically unsafe approach and its results.

I have written and given presentations on scientific dishonesty. The truth can be established by science, but not if it is dishonest and political. And it seems that this report, and the events and decisions that preceded it, and particularly the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine peer review meeting, are a classical example of scientific dishonesty. The use of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine reminds me of the use of the Royal Society to produce a disgraceful report on depleted uranium in 2001. Since the outcome is intended to exonerate the US and UK military from what are effectively war crimes, and since the result will be employed to defend the continued use of uranium weapons, all concerned in this chicanery should be put before a criminal court and tried for what they have done.  Their actions are responsible for human suffering and death and cannot be forgiven. This is a human rights issue. I returned to the issue of Fallujah when I was invited a second time to make a presentation at the UN Human Rights Council in September 2011. I said then it was time to make a legal stand and I presented the human rights petition I had developed with the International Committee for Nuclear Justice. This issue will be taken forward by the Low Level Radiation Campaign in the next six months, so watch this space.

Finally, we should not forget that the WHO signed an agreement in 1959 with the International Atomic Energy Agency to keep their noses out of any research that has a connection with radiation or radioactivity. This agreement is still in force and is a matter of deep concern.
