Uranium weapons being employed in Ukraine have significantly increased Uranium levels in the air in the UK

Christopher Busby Environmental Research SIA, Riga Latvia christo@greenaudit.org Abstract Data covering the period November 2017 to November 2022 was obtained from the Atomic Weapons Establishment, Aldermaston to find if there was an increase in Uranium associated with the Ukraine war. Results from 9 High Volume Air Samplers deployed onsite and offsite by AWE showed that there were significantly increased levels of Uranium in all 9 HVAS samplers beginning in February 2022 when the war began. The result has significant public health implications for the UK and Europe. Keywords: uranium, depleted uranium, particles, Ukraine War, Aldermaston, cancer, birth defect.

Uranium Weapons Residues in UK Air Samples Have Been Measured Since the Ukraine War, Why is Google Suppressing the Evidence?

BY CHRIS BUSBY Photograph Source: The Pancake of Heaven! – CC BY-SA 4.0 Since Fukushima in 2011 there has been a revolution in the scientific understanding of the relation between radiation exposures and subsequent cancer and leukemia. But you would be hard put to find anything about this on Google, which has, over the same period of time as it has increasingly excluded any real news about what is going on in the real world, systematically erased, excluded, airbrushed and spun the news in a way that was common the Soviet Union from Stalin to Brezhnev. This is the era of “fake news”. Much of the work on the radiation risk model has been carried out by me and my colleagues in the European Committee on Radiation Risk (ECRR). By 2023, last year, my increasing personal scient...

Blood Does Not Wash Away Blood

BY KATHY KELLY Image Source: Alejandro Lecuna – CC BY-SA 4.0 The extraordinary March 10, 2023 announcement that China’s top diplomat, Mr. Wang Yi, helped broker a rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Iran suggests that major powers can benefit from believing that, as Albert Camus once put it, “words are more powerful than munitions.” This concept was also acknowledged by General Mark Milley, Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff who said on January 20th, 2023, that he believes Russia’s war in Ukraine will conclude with negotiations rather than on the battlefield. In November of 2022, asked about prospects for diplomacy in Ukraine, Milley noted that the early refusal to negotiate in World War One compounded human suffering and led to m...

Bad Thinking: Left, Center, and Right*

BY PAUL STREET Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair *As I tried to finish this this essay Thursday afternoon, I kept being distracted by the spectacle of the Republi-controlled state legislature of Tennessee potentially and likely carrying out the expulsion of three democratically elected representatives: a Black man from Nashville, a Black man from Memphis, and a white woman from Knoxville. The representatives’ purported transgression? Joining a loud public protest inside the legislative chamber on behalf of sane gun control measures in the wake of the nation’s latest school shooting in Nashville.  There is a word for what is happening in the Tennessee State Capitol in Nashville: fascism. If and when, as seems almost certain, these expulsions take place, it is my sincere hope...

Is a Chinese Invasion of Taiwan Imminent?

BY MICHAEL T. KLARE Photograph Source: Supreme Dragon – CC BY-SA 4.0 Is China really on the verge of invading the island of Taiwan, as so many top American officials seem to believe? If the answer is “yes” and the U.S. intervenes on Taiwan’s side — as President Biden has sworn it would — we could find ourselves in a major-power conflict, possibly even a nuclear one, in the not-too-distant future. Even if confined to Asia and fought with conventional weaponry alone — no sure thing — such a conflict would still result in human and economic damage on a far greater scale than observed in Ukraine today. But what if the answer is “no,” which seems at least as likely? Wouldn’t that pave the way for the U.S. to work with its friends and allies, no less than with China ...

Putin has one last step before a decisive blow to the West

It remains for Russian President Vladimir Putin to bring India and China closer for a decisive blow to the West. By: Jonas E.

Diplomat columnist Mohamed Zishan shared this opinion the other day. “The problem for Putin, however, is that India remains suspicious of China because of the protracted border standoff,” he said. The observer noted that after the clashes on the border with China in 2020, I...
