It is merely unthinkable for the average citizen to contemplate that its own government would seek purposely to do him harm. Thus, psychopaths in power have been allowed to get away with what is, in actuality, the most unthinkable of all crimes - that of harming one's own. So what us normal folk legitimately call "sick puppies" are good-to-go even with the prospect of their own potential early demise - as well as that of their family and friends.
It therefore comes as no surprise that the high level military and DOE supervisors who order these "tests", the scientists who develop them, and the order-takers who carry them out are fully aware of the effect that radiation has on humans and all living things. For many years, in fact, these quite literally "mad" scientists who worked in national weapons laboratories sacrificially subjected themselves to human experimentation for what they must have actually believed was in keeping with some great, worthy, "noble cause". http://tinyurl.com/2spwd4
A college course in basic psychopathology tells us all we need to know about those who knowingly inflict physical harm on themselves and others. In addition to what is an intent to do harm, or, at the very least, blatant non-concern over inflicting personal damage upon their fellow man, the psychopathic mind that cares not one whit for others can also possess a blatant disregard himself, as well. And while the psychopaths' total disregard for the sanctity of life is understood within the context of serious mental illness, it is perhaps only mental health professionals who may be able to shed some light on why the rest of us, the 96% of American non-psychopaths, do not put an end to the radiation madness exhibited by these madmen?
Why do all of us, that is, those who can legitimately claim sanity, allow the four percent of the non-sane to desecrate, via radiation, not just our own country but all corners of the planet - and outer space too, for that matter? www.armscontrol.org/act/2002_04/moltzapril02.asp Why do we continue to allow these persons void of conscience to use their radioactive poison "toys" - these weapons of death - upon ourselves and citizens of other nations?
What is wrong with us - those who care about ourselves, our families, our fellow citizens, and human beings throughout the world - for continuing to allow such abuse at the hands of those who clearly do not care? Are "we the people" perhaps, as psychiatrist Carol Woman, MD, writes, www.counterpunch.org/wolman12302006.html "being abused by the members of the Executive Branch, whose job it is to carry out OUR will, the will of "we the people"? Is it possible that we, as Dr. Wolman states, are "like a wife trapped in an abusive marriage, who feels that duty and economics prevent her from leaving. Perhaps she still feels some love and loyalty to the husband who mistreats her. Perhaps she feels she deserves ill treatment, or that she's too weak and pitiful to do anything about it. She becomes depressed and resigned to a dismal life"?
And, on the topic of what to do, rather than become "depressed and resigned to a dismal life", Dr. Wolman offers, "When a woman is being abused by her husband, it is commonly accepted that he is committing criminal acts, and needs to be brought to justice." So with no serious actions on the part of Congress, our Courts, and certainly, least of all, on the part of our Executive Branch, what then, is exactly our problem?
It is merely common sense to realize that those who have no regard for the sanctity of human life require removal from their positions of "leadership". These individuals need to be sequestered away from civil society to a place where they can be prevented from doing any further harm to themselves or others. It is beyond the normal mind's capacity to even fathom how and why these psychopaths - the same ones that invaded, occupied, destroyed, and rendered uninhabitable two nations with the promiscuous use of tons of radioactive munitions - are still in power. It is further unfathomable to conceive why we continue to allow these humans-in-appearance-only to have any control whatsoever over our vast stores of lethal radioactive materials.
In studying child psychopathology, we learn of young children who actually enjoy torturing animals (such as exploding frogs) and setting ablaze structures like dog houses and backyard sheds merely for the kick they get from watching obliteration of life and conflagration. Not surprisingly, these sick boys and girls grow up to be sick men and women. Apparently, while their bodies grow into the outer casings of what passes as human adult personhood, the apparent thrill of witnessing painful and catastrophic devastation and grand, fiery displays of exploding Uranium-238 by these aberrations of humanity apparently never goes away.
Case in point. There exists one such "subject" in a high level of power in the country who the mentally ill have fashioned as their role model - a psychopath who is ultimately the person in charge of killing large numbers of people - who generally wears a facade of non-affect out of either disdain or disregard for life in general. Even more horrifying is when an actual smirk is worn that has been reported to chill non-psychopaths all the world over to the very bone. And while Christians "in the know" are often tempted to get close enough to take a peek at the scalp for the tell-tale triple 6 numbers, psychiatrists are instead tempted to perform a lobotomy to eliminate that portion of the brain where the mental process of contemplating the annihilation of other human beings takes place.
The rest of us, Americans of conscience with a normative intolerance for harming other innocent people, can immediately recognize mental illness for what it is. The poisoning of civilians in large numbers and then giving repeated advance broadcasts as to who the next nation of innocents might be on the list of contenders for receipt of future poison gas treatment is one glaring indicator of serious and severely abnormal cognitive functioning.
So the big question is, how can - and why do - the vast majority merely sit idly by while these madmen get to "act out" their pathological fantasies of death and destruction? With virtually all of Congress clearly acting like mind-controlled pod people in some "real world" invasion of body snatchers-type horror flick, are the rest of us too under-informed, too apathetic, too distracted, too un-empowered, too brainwashed in our "learned helplessness", and/or too depressed to do anything effective to stop the maniacal captains of America's radiological-powered ship in their tracks?
Does our nation's absolute obedience to authoritarian leadership, with its unprecedented ravenous appetite for death and destruction, dictate that we merely give up the fight for non-contaminated air, water, soil - and sanity? Are we so programmed to play follow the leader (even when that leader swats out human lives faster than at flies at a picnic) that we are conditioned to go about our everyday activities - that consist almost entirely of basic survival and mindless amusement - and completely ignore what is, most arguably, purposeful genocide both here and abroad?
Are we so blinded beyond all hope that, instead of educating our neighbors about the harm being committed even upon our own people, we continue to tune mindlessly into television programming that would have us contemplate nothing more significant than Britney's latest find-the-shaved-body-part photo? Have we been lulled mindlessly, through media distractions and what narrowly masquerades as "news" programs, to surrender any hope whatsoever of opposing the madmen in power with their focused, intense Lust To Maim, Harm, and Kill?
So far, the Psychotic Team in control of the United States government is way ahead in winning this twisted and pathetically sick and sad, life-destroying game. And as much as a crisis intervention of sorts might appear to be in order for the deranged psychopathic "users" and "pushers" of this deadly Depleted Uranium? Like the true blood-thirsty, "addicts" they are, no amount of reasoning with these life-sucking vampires will ever get them to regret the error of their ways and give up their killing "habit".
The non-rational who hold the keys to the inventory of radioactive materials are incapable of listening to reason. Their complete absence of conscience after committing horrific and unthinkable acts which would typically yield remorse in any normal human tells us that the power holders are simply incapable of stopping their pathological, genocidal, and suicidal ways on their own.
The only way to effectively beat those in control at their deadly games is to have equally brilliant and well-adjusted mental health professionals work together to out-intellectualize the pathological national controllers at their psychological warfare pursuits. It basically boils down to waging a battle of the best and the brightest of the non-psychotic minds versus the twisted, heartless ones in control who hold, with a vice-like grip, the reins of America's power that's gone astray much like a locomotive train that has jumped its tracks.
Cathy Garger is a freelance writer, public speaker, activist, and a certified personal coach who specializes in Uranium weapons. Living in the shadow of the national District of Crime, Cathy is constantly nauseated by the stench emanating from the nation's capital during the Washington, DC, federal work week.
The question of sanity in our government leaders and their actions is not as important, frankly, as are discussions of exactly how do we remove these leaders from power and how do we turn our government to the correct ( or sane) course.
I do not seek to minimise or even question the facts you cite above, in fact, I support the validity of every case you note. As I live fairly close to Lawrence Livermore labs Ive even more reason for concern.
We can post article after article, volumes in fact, extolling the horrific decisions of our leadership, domestically, overseas, wherever, yet what have we accomplished, other than scaring ourselves, frustrating ourselves and depressing ourselves? Almost every passing day brings new disclosures of the impeachable offenses of Dick and Georgie, yet in office they remain still.
I am no political pundit, nor do I have the answers I seek to find. I write and email my elected representatives and even get responses from time to time. Barbara Boxer and I are old friends, correspondence wise, Diane Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi, Pete Stark have each received volumes from me.
I have cast my ballot for those who spoke to the issues I felt important, or declared that they would work to achieve the goals I felt were necesary, and have done so for decade after decade. Anyone see any change for the better?
PS This is not a paeon to frustration but a call for outside the box suggestions.

Well, some Psychopaths are Fiends and some Fiends are Psychopaths. Then their are Psychopaths who may be Fiends, but they have little or no opportunity to express their feelings towards us.
There is another variety of a Fiend who is also a Psychopath, and has the means and methods to hurt us. This is the variety that we have now temporarily installed in Washington, London and their Fiend partners in Tel Aviv.
Our Fiends have colluded together and may comprise about 10% of the human species. Only Some of them are certified Physcopaths, yet all of them are certified Fiends.
Their time has ended, it actually ended when their Fiend ancestors made the decision to genocidally exterminate the mass of the human race with the use of nuclear weapons.
The International Fiend class has waged atrocity against the human race, and to them, America is nothing more than an old crown colony for their Anglo-Zionist Terrorist Network to ply it's Fiendish trade.
Their impoverished Fiends, that is those who do the hands on killing, are in a terrible situation at this time.
Many are being slain by their Fiend employers, The Bank of England, to prevent them from giving us all a little History lesson on life as a Death squad member.
The Fiends have of course pulled the nuclear trigger on us several times over the decades, all to no effect.
The ET have requested that we not have an all out nuclear war. Our Fiends can not accept a world at Peace.
So the ET apparently prefer that the human race survive, and the Fiends find some way to fit themselves into a world at Peace. The higher level powers, "ET," have decided that if one or the other is going, humanity or the Fiends of humanity, they prefer to to see that it is the Fiends that are put away and humanity to survive.
The current Fiends ancestors decided long ago that if the world needed to change course and head in the direction of being at Peace, then they would rather "Fight than Switch."
As we are now the "Living Dead," consider that our Fiends when they are taken into custody for their trials, may claim at their trials, that they are crazy and indeed not only Fiends, but also "Psychopaths." Then they can claim that they are really innocent; by reason of "Insanity."

This comment has been flagged and is awaiting review by the editors -
Reason: Ad hominem
Garger is fascinated by any prognostication by Douglas Lind Rokke. She should not be because Rokke never was who he claims to be. He is a fraud. He claims to be a disabled combat veteran, but never saw combat, certainly not in Desert Storm where he sat the war out in Riyadh and he never was shot at in Vietnam either because the Viet Cong did not have the SAM-2 missile and Rokke may have flown on at least one B-52 mission bombing them. Rokke also never was the Director of the Army DU program - those of you who have some military experience know that Captains (O-3) are not directors of any Army-wide program. Rokke's official military record from his enlistment in the Air Force right out of high school in 1967 through 1998 is available in the files section of DUStory at Yahoogroups dot com. All are welcome to join; you might learn something about depleted uranium, which, for some unexplained reason has become an obsession in Garger's writing. The fact is that depleted uranium is used to destroy enemy tanks before they destroy you and there have been no enemy tanks to destroy since the run to Baghdad in 2003. That doesn't stop Garger or Rokke, both of whom claim that "uranium weapons" as they love to term them are practically everywhere and most assuredly poisoned the entire Mideast during the Israeli war against Hezbollah in Lebanon. The funny thing, though, is that Hezbollah had no tanks either and if you go to the Federation of American Scientists, a fairly peace loving group, you will find that bunker buster bombs are not made of depleted uranium. Come to DUStory at Yahoogroups and you will find the links to some of these facts that Garger and Rokke would prefer you not know because they impede the sales of Rokke's DVD or make no one want to pay him to come talk to them. He makes money off of you and Garger probably does too.

4.5 billion years of toxicity and RH blames the messenger
What quantity of DU is safe for DNA based life forms? None!
As a rebuttal to the stupid argument questioning whether DU was used if there were no tanks around, the following is excerpted from the Axis of Logic posting: click here one of the many source citations made by Cathy's excellent article:
HOW IS DU USED BY THE MILITARY?
DU is used to manufacture kinetic energy penetrators- giant pencils or rods. Each kinetic penetrator consists of almost entirely uranium 238. The United States munitions industry produces the following DU munitions with the corresponding mass of uranium 238:
7.62 mm with unspecified mass
50 caliber with unspecified mass
20 mm with a mass of approximately 180 grams.
25 mm with a mass of approximately 200 grams.
30 mm with a mass of approximately 280 grams.
105 mm with a mass of approximately 3500 grams.
120 mm with a mass of approximately 4500 grams.
Sub-munitions / land mines such as the PDM and ADAM whose structural body contain a small proportion of DU.
Cruise missiles with unknown quantity of DU
Bunker buster bombs with unknown quantity of DU
----------------------
By other estimates, I have read from other sources that I don't remember off the top of my head, hundreds of tons of Uranium munitions of all sizes have been used in Iraq.
Nobody here is accusing the soldier on the ground for specific war crimes, but everybody who knows better should be working to permanently ban uranium from use in any weapon. Whatever advantage they may seem to give on the battlefield is not worth billions of years of cancer and birth defects. Think about the collective, accumulated pain and suffering and if you argue for their use, you should get a happy star sticker for being part of the Bush Neo-Con 4% solution and a ticket to the nearest insane asylum.

One might also point out that one of the important meanings of "story" is "a
fictitious tale." Go look it up, Roger, and then tell that to your crew at DU
Story, if you dare.
Oh, by the way, "fictitious" means it isn't true.

There was one thing missed out of this, and that is that there is OpTalisman Sabre in Australia from the end of May to start of July this year. It is widely reported that the US are to use DU ammo during the exercise. There are expected to be in excess of 20,000 troops involved
This exercise is to be carried out in an area called Shoalwater Bay in Queensland. Shoalwater bay is inside the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Park, and it is a crime under the nations law to carry out such exercises inside the reef, but the Australian Govt does not care for its people.
Also of note is the fact that Australia is a signitory to the The Rarotonga Treaty of 1985 that forbids the use of nuclear weapons within the Pacific Region. But again the govt choose to ignore this fact
