Congenital Defects in Iraq

Congenital Defects

Before the invasion of Iraq just 2 per cent of babies were born with a congenital birth defect in Fallujah, Basra and other Iraqi cities.

Between 2007 and 2010 studies have found more than half of all babies were born with a defect. Just to repeat that, more than 50% of babies born in Iraqi cities have a congenital birth defect.

In addition, during that period 45% of pregnancies ended in miscarriages.
In young infants, the toxic metal lead was found to be at levels 5 times higher than normal and mercury was 6 times higher than normal. [1]

Lead, Mercury, Iron, Aluminum, Manganese, Strontium, Barium, Bismuth, Calcium, Magnesium and Uranium levels were unusually high in hair samples of parents with congenital anomalies. Uranium is genotoxic.

A report by nuclear physicist Dr. Christopher Busby, et al., concludes that “the effects in Fallujah follow the deployment of a Uranium-based weapon or weapons of some unknown type”. [2]

We’re talking about manmade enriched uranium here, not depleted uranium although both are genotoxic (toxic to the genetic constitution of an organism).
The Clinton, Bush and Obama administrations have all used enriched uranium. It’s been used in the Balkans (Serbia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, etc) and the Middle East and it’s a crime to do so. Enriched, manmade uranium. A crime. They’ve also used white phosphorus and other munitions that cause severe human damage and horrible deaths. [3]

Mutilating people is also a crime. Between 2001 and 2010 more than 40,000 servicemembers were wounded and more than 1,600 had limbs amputated. Servicemen are missing eyes, the roof of their mouths, arms, legs and pieces of the skull. [4]

Iraqi’s had their minds, bodies and culture obliterated.

Out-of-Place Metal Objects

Out-of-Place Metal Objects

Humans were not even supposed to be around 65 million years ago, never mind people who could work metal. So then how does science explain semi-ovoid metallic tubes dug out of 65-million-year-old Cretaceous chalk in France? In 1885, a block of coal was broken open to find a metal cube obviously worked by intelligent hands. In 1912, employees at an electric plant broke apart a large chunk of coal out of which fell an iron pot! A nail was found embedded in a sandstone block from the Mesozoic Era. And there are many, many more such anomalies.

Today’s newsletter from the Citizens Electoral Council of Australia: More scientists expose climate fraud

The recent Doha UN Climate Change Conference is yet another push for a global green fascist dictatorship—it has nothing to do with climate science. However, in one respect Doha is scientific: it is a scientific proof that the propaganda line of a “consensus” on man-made global warming is laughable, as Australia is one of only 37 nations, out of the 194 in attendance, to commit to economic self-destruction by signing up to the new Kyoto Protocol. China, which is building approximately one new coal-fired power station per week (compared with Australia’s rate of just four stations built in the last decade), is not one of the 37 signers.
Many thousands of scientists have been shouting from the rooftops for years that “global warming” is a swindle and they continue to do so despite enormous pressure to submit to the climate gravy train and the mainstream media efforts to supress them.
On 29 November 2012, 125-plus prominent scientists wrote an open letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, slamming the entire climate swindle and Ban Ki-moon’s complicity in propagating climate lies, such as blaming Hurricane Sandy on “climate change”.
In this open letter these scientists stated: “The U.K. Met Office recently released data showing that there has been no statistically significant global warming for almost 16 years…. The hypothesis that our emissions of CO2 have caused, or will cause, dangerous warming is not supported by the evidence…. we ask that you desist from exploiting the misery of the families of those who lost their lives or properties in tropical storm Sandy by making unsupportable claims that human influences caused that storm. They did not.”
Contrary to mainstream media hype, the vast majority of scientists do not subscribe to the view that we are facing a man-made climate catastrophe. And they certainly don’t attribute a freak storm to global warming which stopped more than a decade ago.
In America alone, to date 31,487 scientists (9,029 with PhDs) have signed the Global Warming Petition Project, debunking “global warming” and adding that “there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.”
A 2010 survey of media broadcast meteorologists conducted by the U.S. George Mason University Center for Climate Change Communication found that almost two-thirds (63 per cent) of 571 who responded believe global warming is caused mostly by natural changes in the environment—not human activities. Those surveyed included members of the American Meteorological Society (AMS) and the National Weather Association.
A more recent 2012 survey published by the AMS found that 41 per cent of their members were not convinced that human activity is the primary cause of global warming and only 30 per cent of members said they were very worried about global warming. This is a highly significant level of dissent considering the official AMS statement on climate change is that the “dominant cause of the warming since the 1950s is human activities”.
The AMS peddles numerous imagined climate disaster scenarios as does the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, the CSIRO and many other institutions under direction from the financial oligarchy. It’s not a good career move to break from the official line and many scientists wait until they retire before they slam the official climate claptrap.
Scientists who have seriously looked at geological history know that carbon dioxide levels today at 390 ppm are much lower than for most of the history of life on Earth and 450 million years ago the Earth went into an Ice Age when carbon dioxide levels exceeded 4,000 ppm—more than ten times the current concentration.
Here are some of those among the majority of scientists who don’t subscribe to the nonsense of an anthropogenic climate catastrophe:
“I’ve often heard it said that there is a consensus of thousands of scientists on the global warming issue, and that humans are causing catastrophic change to the climate system. Well, I am one scientist, and there are many, that simply think that is not true.”—Dr. John Christy, professor of atmospheric science and director of the Earth System Science Center at the University of Alabama.
“I am a sceptic…. Global warming has become a new religion.”—Nobel Prize Winner for Physics, Dr. Ivar Giaever.
“It is a blatant lie put forth in the media that makes it seem there is only a fringe of scientists who don’t buy into anthropogenic global warming.”—Stanley B. Goldenberg, U.S. Government (NOAA) atmospheric scientist and meteorologist.
“There is no proven link between human activity and global warming.”—Prof. Yuri Izrael, IPCC vice-chairman.
“AGW (anthropogenic global warming) is a fiction and a very dangerous fiction.”—William Kininmonth, head of the Australian Bureau of Meteorology’s National Climate Centre (1986-1998), Australian delegate to the World Meteorological Organization’s Commission for Climatology (1982-1998).
“CO2 emissions make absolutely no difference one way or another…. Every scientist knows this, but it doesn’t pay to say so.”—Prof. Takeda Kunihiko, vice-chancellor of the Institute of Science and Technology Research at Chubu University in Japan.

More sustainable farming practices DO increase yields!

“On 22 acres, researchers planted three parallel plots: one replicating the conventional Midwestern farming cycle alternating corn and soybeans each year with a routine mix of chemicals; in the second, planting a three-year cycle that included oats and a red clover cover crop; the third was planted on a 4-year rotation that added alfalfa (a key livestock feed). The two longer rotations also integrated the use of manure, or livestock fertilizer.”
“The longer rotations produced better yields of both corn and soy, reduced the need for nitrogen fertilizer and herbicides by up to 88 percent, reduced the amounts of toxins in groundwater 200-fold and didn’t reduce profits by a single cent.”

New (to me) Data on Vitamin D

Dr. Reinhold Vieth is Professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences, and the Department of Laboratory Medicine and Pathology, University of Toronto. He is an internationally recognized expert on the clinical effectiveness of vitamin D as well as its pharmacology and safety. There is a great video of him giving a talk at the vitamin D Association Experts Forum in 2011 here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIDWA9-cGdY#!
If you do not have 45 minutes to look at it, here are the main points I took away from his presentation:
1. Blood levels of 25(OH)D are 75-225 nmo/g are normal. These levels are safe and optimal because we were “designed” for this by the process of evolution.
2. There were NO reported incidents of toxicity until intake was more than 40,000 IU per day.
3. The upper level of recommended vitamin dosage are those that any member of the public can take without doctor’s supervision and be guaranteed that they are not going to generate a negative reaction.
4. Once a year doses of vitamin D are destructive. Large fluctuations in Vitamin D levels are associated with increased risk of falls and fractures. In fact, the greater the fluctuation of your vitamin D level, the greater the risk for some cancers. So if you do not supplement all year, at least do so in winter.
5. The simple guideline to remember is that your body will make vitamin D from sunshine when your shadow is shorter than your height.
6. Vitamin D has a half life in the body of 60 days.
7. Dr. Vieth spoke on the unworkably low levels of Vitamin D being recommended by the IOM (Institute Of Medicine) as a reaction to a simplistic assessment of potential risks and an unwillingness to look at sophisticated models to identify causes of those risks.
“I am on a group from the American Geriatric Society which has a similar problem. You go to all the trouble reviewing the medicine and evidence, come up with advice, you put it out for review, out comes the IOM which something different, then doctors being driven by things that are set for a different purpose than patient care.”
