London, September 17, 2009, (Pal Telegraph) - I am writing to announce that a new book, which my father authored, has just been published on the subject of depleted uranium. It's title is "A Primer in the Art of Deception: The Cult of Nuclearists, Uranium Weapons and Fraudulent Science".
It is a science book, written for the layperson, detailing how science has been falsified to serve the political interests of covering up the health effects of internal contamination by radionuclides from nuclear weapon testing, commercial nuclear power plants and DU weapons. I forward to you a review of the work as it has been igniting a significant interest in the news world and I feel you may have interest to report on it as well. It is a rude awakening, and I ask you personally if you will help spread awareness of this shocking volume.
In response to worldwide concern about uranium contamination, a number of humanity's guardian institutions published "purported" objective studies on uranium toxicity. These included the World Health Organization, the Royal Society, the European Commission, and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry under the auspices of the US Department of Health and Human Services. As if authored by a single human hand operating under a host of pseudonyms, the unanimous conclusion in these works was that the only possible endpoints of concern from DU exposure could be cancer, due to uranium's radioactivity, or kidney disease due to uranium's heavy metal effects.
BUT, depleted uranium could cause neither of these due to the fact that the dose of radioactivity from internalized uranium is too low to produce cancer and too insignificant as a heavy metal to produce structural or functional changes in the kidneys. Case closed!
Weaponized uranium represents no hazard to exposed populations. "A Primer in the Art of Deception" analyzes this argument in depth and clearly demonstrates that these supposed scientific works are a product of fraud, issued to obstruct understanding of the true health consequences of low levels of radiation in the interior of the body and the toxicology of uranium as a heavy metal.
One very lengthy chapter, running 230 pages, is titled "The Most Heinous Crime in History: The Betrayal of Mankind by the Radiation Protection Agencies." It describes how a fraudulent science of radiation effects started to be developed during the 1950s to quell concern among the population about weapon testing and to protect the government from liability from illnesses produced in downwind populations. This corrupted science was then drawn upon to cover-up the effects of routine and accidental releases from commercial nuclear power plants and the nation's nuclear weapon production facilities. The same corrupted science is being used today to hide the radiological impact of low levels of inhaled debris from depleted uranium weapons.
In any radiation exposure, victims want to know their "dose" and the "risk" this exposure represents for initiating illness. These two key concepts have been ingeniously corrupted to always "prove" that an individual exposed to radiation in the environment does not receive a dose greater than the maximum permitted dose and that no negative health consequences will result.
Further, the current science of radiation effects has been crafted so that the only possible medical endpoint of concern is cancer. This party line has always prevented a link being established between DU's radiation and Gulf War Illness. However, there is abundant evidence in the published literature, particularly since the accident at Chernobyl, demonstrating that radiation can produce a host of debilitating medical effects in addition to cancer. The science pointing to this alternate understanding of radiation is conveniently suppressed by the official organizations posturing as guarding humanity from radiation exposure.
A second chapter of the book directly addresses those documents written in DU's defense. It is titled "The Harlot of Babylon Unmasked: Fraudulent Science and the Cover-Up of the Health Effects of Depleted Uranium." First, the false claims that DU can only produce cancer and kidney disease are meticulously deconstructed.
This is followed by an extensive review of current research in uranium toxicology. Ignored by the "definitive" works on uranium, this body of research clearly reveals that uranium is genotoxic (capable of damaging DNA), cytotoxic (poisonous to cells), mutagenic (capable of inducing mutations), teratogenic (capable of interfering with normal embryonic development) and neurotoxic (capable of harming nerve
tissue).
