Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips Agent Orange Continues to Poison Vietnam clipped by: chestnut501 clippers remarks: The U.S. government and the chemical companies knew that Agent Orange, when produced rapidly at high temperatures, would contain large quantities of Dioxin. Nevertheless, the chemical companies continued to produce it in this manner. The U.S. government and the chemical companies also knew that the Bionetics Study, commissioned by the government in 1963, showed that even low levels of Dioxin produced significant deformities in unborn offspring of laboratory animals. But they suppressed that study and continued to spray Vietnam with Agent Orange. It wasn?t until the study was leaked in 1969 that the spraying of Agent Orange was discontinued. Clip Source: www.commondreams.org From 1961 to 1971, the U.S. military sprayed Vietnam with Agent Orange, which contained large quantities of Dioxin, in order to defoliate the trees for military objectives. Dioxin is one of the most dangerous chemicals known to man. It has been recognized by the World Health Organization as a carcinogen (causes cancer) and by the American Academy of Medicine as a teratogen (causes birth defects). Between 2.5 and 4.8 million people were exposed to Agent Orange. approximately 12 percent of the land area of Vietnam - were sprayed. An estimated 3 million Vietnamese people were killed in the war, which also claimed 58,000 American lives. For many other Vietnamese and U.S. veterans and their families, the war continues to take its toll. Our government must know that it cannot continue to use weapons that target and harm civilians. Indeed, the U.S. military is using depleted uranium in Iraq and Afghanistan, which will poison those countries for incalculable decades.

Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips Rules of Disengagement: What You Can Do End Illegal Wars clipped by: brightlight4 Clip Source: www.alternet.org Rules of Disengagement: What You Can Do End Illegal Wars The authors of a new book share the success stories of war resisters and ways soldiers and citizens can use their rights to end the wars of today. The similarities between the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the war in Vietnam are remarkable and sobering. Although political, technological, and cultural changes create many differences in war and warfare, the questions and dilemmas that soldiers faced in the 1960s and 1970s are strikingly similar to those they have confronted in recent years. So, too, are the decisions of growing numbers of soldiers to disengage from the wars similar to the choices made then. Clip Source: www.alternet.org ?The Nixon administration claimed and received great credit for withdrawing the Army from Vietnam, but it was the rebellion of low-ranking GIs that forced the government to abandon a hopeless suicidal policy,? Clip Source: www.alternet.org do we have a duty to carry out the wars and support them at home, or a duty to resist? zum Artikel...

Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips Obama Says Mountain Crimes Can Be Regulated--Will Gore, Carter or Congress Intervene Now? clipped by: papananook clippers remarks: "Mountaintop removal is a crime--and ought to be treated as a crime." --Al Gore, April 28, 2008 "Mountaintop removal is a crime against local people, nature, our children, and our planet." --Dr. James Hansen, NASA Consider this: Over 3.5 million pounds of ammonium nitrate/fuel oil explosives rip across the most diverse and oldest mountains in America--and rain down silica dust and heavy metals on residents--in West Virginia alone EVERY DAY. Consider this: Mountaintop removal provides less than 5-7% percent of our national coal production, at a time when coal demand is down, and mountaintop removal coal could EASILY be replaced by energy efficiency, conservation, renewable energy sources or underground coal. Consider this: Not one person in the Obama administration involved in this outrageous decision has ever set a foot on a mountaintop removal site. Clip Source: www.commondreams.org [Video] "Todays announcement by the Obama administration paves the way for the criminals that conduct mountaintop removal to continue their bombing assault and hillbilly removal campaign against the people of the Coal River Valley and Appalachian mountain communities," says Bo Webb, a Vietnam Vet, coal miners son, and resident in Coal River Valley, West Virginia. For the Obama administrators too busy to visit the coalfields, heres a clip of the reality of their decisions: The Washington Post headline this morning cut to this chase: "Obama is Right to Allow Mountaintop Removal Mining." All well-meaning intentions aside, if the Obama administration truly wanted to "enforce" mountaintop removal regulations and protect American watersheds, drinking water, and communities from catastrophic flooding and toxic blasting, it would simply reverse a 2002 Bush and dirty coal lobby manipulation of the Clean Water Act and restore the original definition of "fill" material to no longer include mining waste. zum Artikel...

Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips World Oil Reserves Fell for First Time in 10 Years, BP Says clipped by: JICWyllie clippers remarks: The reserves may or may not be there. Everyone knows that the Saudi Arabias and the other Gulf States figures are as opaque as they are suspect. And that hundreds of thousands of square miles of the Canadian boreal forest will be turned into a wasteland if these "reserves" are ever to be tapped. What people forget is that the price of oil can never be higher than people can afford to pay which means it is bound to come down as people have to reign in their spending, making exploration and ecocide "uneconomic". Clip Source: www.bloomberg.com Global proved oil reserves fell last year, the first drop since 1998, led by declines in Russia, Norway and China, according to BP Plc. Including Canadian oil sands deposits of 150.7 billion barrels, total global reserves stood at 1.409 trillion barrels, the review said. Saudi Arabia?s reserves, the world?s largest, stood at 264.1 billion barrels, little changed from 264.2 billion a year earlier, BP said. The Middle East as a whole holds 754.1 billion barrels, compared with 755 billion barrels last year. The world has enough reserves for 42 years at current production rates, BP said. ?Declines in Russia, Norway, China and other countries offset increases in Vietnam, India and Egypt,? BP said on its Web site. BP made an upward revision to 2007?s global oil reserves of 23.1 billion barrels, with the largest increases in OPEC members Venezuela and Angola.

A Real Mess. clipped by: apgalea Clip Source: electronicintifada.net In Errol Morriss 2004 film The Fog of War, former US Defense Secretary Robert McNamara recalls General Curtis LeMay, the architect of the fire-bombings of Japan during World War II, saying that "if wed lost the war, wed all have been prosecuted as war criminals." LeMay was merely articulating an unacknowledged truism of international relations: power bestows, among other things, the right to label. So it is that mass slaughter perpetrated by the big powers, from Vietnam to Iraq and Afghanistan, is normalized through labels such as "counterinsurgency," "pacification" and "war on terror," while similar acts carried out by states out of favor result in the severest of charges. It is this politics of naming that is the subject of Mahmood Mamdanis explosive new book, Saviors and Survivors: Darfur, Politics and the War on Terror. Tags: war crimes zum Artikel...

Clipmarks | Vietnam Clips Poisonous plans for the Rio Grande in Texas clipped by: chara clippers remarks: A US government project indicates that the border patrol is going to test three methods to rid the riverbank of carrizo cane. Members of the Laredo city council, in Mexico, have raised concerns and called on president Felipe Calderon to intervene. Mexican officials are worried that the herbicide imazapyr could threaten the Nuevo Laredo water supply. US border patrol and Environmental Protection Agency officials say the herbicide planned for the test is safe for animals. The programme is intended to keep border patrol agents safe and make their jobs easier. Imazapyr was registered in the US in 1984. The EPA concluded after tests that "there is a reasonable certainty that no harm will result to the general population, and to infants and children from aggregate exposure to imazapyr residues". Jay Johnson-Castro Sr, executive director of the Rio Grande International Study, said he has no issue with removing the cane, just the method. Clip Source: www.guardian.co.uk Critics blast US border patrols herbicide strategy Plan would eliminate dense foliage used as hiding places by illegal immigrants and smugglers Some opponents of the action compare it to the Vietnam war-era Agent Orange chemical spraying programme. "We dont believe that is even moral," said Jay Johnson-Castro Sr, executive director of the Rio Grande International Study Centre, located at Laredo Community College, adjacent to the planned test area. "It is unprecedented that theyd do it in a populated area." One method calls for the cane to be cut by hand and the stumps painted with the herbicide. Another involves using mechanical equipment to dig the cane out by the roots, possibly without the need for the herbicide. The third and most controversial removal method calls for using helicopters to spray imazapyr directly on the cane, until all plant life in the area is poisoned. The cane is a non-native plant introduced by Spanish explorers no issue with removing the cane, just the method. zum Artikel...

The bears moan in pain and bite their own paws. The photo tells a thousand grunts. Why are the bears tortured like this? Because the bile is used as a traditional Chinese medicine?touted as an anti-inflammatory and fever reducer,  eyesight improver, protection for the liver and gallstone fixer.  Cant we sell them some aspirin?

Obama Caves to Scaredy-Cat Nation clipped by: katsteevns Clip Source: consortiumnews.com Obama Caves to Scaredy-Cat Nation By Robert Parry May 27, 2009 A paradox of the modern United States is that it wields unprecedented military power in the world yet its people are constantly kept frightened about unlikely foreign dangers. Its politics, too, are dominated by fear. The way this plays out most often is that Republicans (aided by the U.S. news media) exaggerate overseas threats and denounce the Democrats for being ?soft? on whatever the current ?threat? might be: the Reds, the yellow menace, Soviet ?beachheads? in Central America, or now Islamic terrorism. From the Vietnam War to today?s ?war on terror,? Democrats have reacted out of fear of getting blamed for not doing enough to ?protect? the nation, so they undertake misguided actions to look tough, as Lyndon Johnson did in escalating U.S. troop levels in Vietnam or as Democrats in Congress did in going along with George W. Bush?s invasion of Iraq. zum Artikel... Iraq Vet: "How Many Nine-year Old Boys Have You Held in Your Arms, Crying for Their Father?" clipped by: JackieDel clippers remarks: How to create a terrorist: The terrible and tragic tale which begins in Vietnam and ends in Iraq. An Iraqi boy and his father were driving home in their pick-up after a days work harvesting watermelons. When US soldiers at a checkpoint ordered them to stop they didnt, so the soldiers machine- gunned the vehicle, killing the father and leaving his distraught son, who survived, to be "taken away" by the soldiers. It turned out that the truck couldnt stop because the brakes were faulty. Perhaps their day harvesting melons was to earn enough to get the brakes fixed? "That was over five years ago, making him a teenager by now. Maybe he will be driving a white Toyota pickup truck tomorrow, approaching a collation check point somewhere in Iraq. And I can damn sure bet you that he won?t be hauling watermelons." Clip Source: www.alternet.org How about a boy clinging to his lifeless father that you just killed?

To this day I have never held anyone dying in my arms, and no one crying for their mother. I don?t remember how I answered his question. I was dumb founded.

What about your MONEY clipped by: dwinbiz clippers remarks: Something to think about................. Clip Source: conspiracyoftherich.com In 1971, President Richard Nixon changed the rules of money: Without the approval of Congress, he severed the U.S. dollars relationship with gold. He made this unilateral decision during a quietly held two-day meeting on Minot Island in Maine, without consulting his State Department or the international monetary system. President Nixon changed the rules because foreign countries being paid in U.S. dollars grew skeptical because the U.S. Treasury was printing more and more money to cover our debts, and they began exchanging their dollars directly for gold in earnest, depleting most of the U.S. gold reserves. The vault was being emptied because the government was importing more than it was exporting and because of the costly Vietnam War. As our economy grew, we were also importing more and more oil.

Veterans make up 1 in 4 homeless clipped by: disenchantedcitizen clippers remarks: This is a shameful travesty. The mental health toll from war is enormous. With the spotlight on the plight of Iraq veterans, they hope more will be done to prevent homelessness and provide affordable housing to the younger veterans while theres a window of opportunity. "People get tired of it. Its not glitzy that these are young, honorable, patriotic Americans. Theyll just be veterans, and that happens after every war." said John Keaveney, a Vietnam veteran and a founder of New Directions in Los Angeles, which provides substance abuse help, job training and shelter to veterans. A big problem is that military training does not translate to civilian jobs. What is combat specialist supposed to do? Honorable veterans should never face this situation. Clip Source: www.usatoday.com Veterans make up one in four homeless people in the United States, though they are only 11% of the general adult population, according to a report to be released Thursday. And homelessness is not just a problem among middle-age and elderly veterans. Younger veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan are trickling into shelters and soup kitchens seeking services, treatment or help with finding a job. The Veterans Affairs Department has identified 1,500 homeless veterans from the current wars and says 400 of them have participated in its programs specifically targeting homelessness. Some advocates say the early presence of veterans from Iraq and Afghanistan at shelters does not bode well for the future. It took roughly a decade for the lives of Vietnam veterans to unravel to the point that they started showing up among the homeless. Advocates worry that intense and repeated deployments leave newer veterans particularly vulnerable. Tags: veterans, military spending, war victims, homelessness zum Artikel...
