6:30 pm
because clearly if you but a paradise if one intends to test atomic bombs. all right they can look at the united states but now i want to turn it right it's up to foreigners and there's something good for me and. why do i want to if you don't want to if you don't be united. written. off. everything being and god help us figure out. over the twelve years of testing thirty three of the sixty seven devices that were tested here were bigger than the largest one ever tested in the eighteen of them
6:31 pm
were what are called megaton level devices in other words. including the bravo test in one nine hundred fifty four fifteen megaton test thousand times more powerful and explosive yield than the hiroshima bomb. you know i'm on you know she mumbled there are no one at. it makes me angry that nobody knows what is your own life low level it is a little. bit too. much first nine hundred fifty four the islanders are amazed to see the sun rising in the west but the star is a thermonuclear bomb bravo irradiates the sky by the wind blows towards the atoll a brown glass. m.m.m.m. on. yes i think so maybe on. a
6:32 pm
third day leaving us sleeping. right nights. completely move in my. when the lights go him down we've seen that thing goes down from the sky our around the ground. like the sun our lightest sun. and then don't when there is strong and the ice everywhere and the ground was moving say and we were so scared. we'd be back they want to add to eleven the body so we hide for several hours and when we have game back we see don't know why i think it's covered
6:33 pm
before and while we get the powder. because nobody has not done the. turned out to be a lot more powerful than they expected. they didn't bother to move the bronco people because. it was basically too complicated logistics they had to take by this time permission from the department of interior and frankly it was to spend something it was just by accident that we even found out that that the bronco that people had been. the reason they found out was there was a little japanese fishing trawler. that was also out there and they got dusted with radioactivity that drew the most headlines and never heard of it was called the lucky trick on. rushed. there and
6:34 pm
the head doctor said that they'll be ok in a month well it's six months to radio operator had died but the people in the lab they had a slow motion kind of effect they also had a lot of other. you know law. that they tell you and burn yes my mom. here will learn from here. you couldn't be unaware. but to. report in a way which are. rather cool we're doing this until. i'm. supposed to reach. the summit of prickly. to. the natives and it is so normal western history that it hardly. reason is for the american media became passionate about the overwhelming power of
6:35 pm
bravo and complacent about the victims of the cold war. this is not the case for the scientific community. was they got the news they sent a team of doctors to examine the wrong people and they did this continuously and are still doing that because they are such a living example of what it was like to experience them a bomb with the actual explosion so the wrong people are much more of an example for the rest of the world than the actual balmy in who and nagasaki. obviously the all the mention of what happened in her she meant what happened in the marshall islands is very different it was chronic exposure for many years that's one explosion just a megatonnage was thousands of times what happened then so that's one aspect people
6:36 pm
say well you can't really compare that because. there's just a difference in the whole sequence of events and the amount of radiation that happened in the broadcast was a big watershed in the new. many scientists became concerned and actually i think a lot of the movement to stop nuclear weapons testing wasn't about the future of the bomb it was actually an environmental and health concern that this thing is affecting us and our children every day. they started to give birth to monster like b. . and so many miscarriages and. reply fetuses and. my mom she has seven miscarriage and one time she had a baby that looked like great and that made me sad that i have
6:37 pm
a baby sitter or is an alien or is not even a human being. in december two thousand and five the marshallese presented the american government with pictures of deformed babies born with gray hair and without ears the baby survived for only a few weeks the abnormal births that you've seen photographs of recent children i don't know that those can be attributed to any exposure but no one is investigating to find out are they in general radiogenic or are they caused by something else that's a question that may well remain unanswered. i am part of a program that the department of energy is involved in an apartment energy is part of u.s. government and so the medical program provides ongoing monitoring for radiation related illness for the people wrong the lab and you do it if you have one test
6:38 pm
these. but i mean yes birth defects. is about there in that age and it is a class by new plan and i think you have heard of other people like that even met i'm not sure if you're familiar with the bare seven report in this report it did say very clearly that there's genetic mutations that are changed biologically by radiation and they've shown it plants mice in bacteria so if you follow that through then there probably is genetic things that are transmitted by you know enough radiation a much radiation that takes it didn't comment in there but in your mind you know being a woman would that affect your children i can see from that there are seven report i don't know. it's never been showed to see yes but it's also been never shown to see. mainly by stand of the woman who has
6:39 pm
these ads many a woman the luger the silly face the legal funny guy you know why he's named and why is that why i never i never even. close do you know that just because of the radiation rains when the survivors are told that their children. have no genetical effects of radiation has no genetic backs on the second and third and fourth and so on generations. in the plane where it's all far survivors we don't trust we know. that they are in that moment. i don't have any children or my own. the only difference. the boys.
6:40 pm
to me she's my mother i mean she might have me in my life one of which she says a reason i turn out to be like this. i want to be something i want to do something for my people because i know she is and our heart life. evelyn is home sick so when she can she visits her mother who lives in majority she has given up hope of ever living on the wrong map the atmospheric testing spread radioactivity throughout the world mainly in the northern hemisphere not only near the test sites but all over the world and we are still living with the long lived radioactive legacy of that fallout we still have strong from ninety in the dirt we have cesium one thirty seven we have plutonium and in the air we have carbon fourteen and it gets into the food and so every time we eat we have a little bit of the legacy of atmospheric testing. the national cancer institute
6:41 pm
indicates that the testing of nuclear weapons by both the united states as well as the soviet union and the other countries a test of nuclear weapons has by the year two thousand resulted in approximately four hundred thousand people who either have died will die prematurely of cancer. no space or time can stop the bombs rippling effects it's a boomerang drifting with the winds and the wind. boundaries disappear hundreds of thousands of victims join the japanese dead already in mass graves the nuclear arsenal claims more corpses than previously thought and it's not over. it's a big disaster for us here in the marshes. there is no place for ice to i from the us because our lebanese stop there being.
6:42 pm
now there's many many cases out there. for the women it's more morning in the wise awareness case. it's true that women generally have a higher cancer risk average going to the girl children are a lot more vulnerable than any other part of the population so especially in regard to iraq cancer. if i remember the number right at about one hundred times the risk of adult males from the same relation to. its fire or remove nine hundred eighty one clip that i remember one time she went quiet for jews and one of her breasts. but she was selling need she was going to class. and then she came back and i had to shout at her i got it was the matter with you what is going on. he told minute he had
6:43 pm
a man in one of the best they had to. an operation and then get him. in the early and mid ninety's when the us started to declassify a lot of the information about the testing program that had been classified as secret top secret. better understanding of the effects of radiation was developed. secrecy and classified documents belong to the tradition of the world's armies especially when their actions could prompt lawsuits over millions of dollars in compensation from their governments. share. these are on such calls that the classified documents they were declassified in one thousand and four if i remember correctly but we just got them. you know ninety or
6:44 pm
ninety nine you know by and like simple foxes at one time there was this project call four point one the united states wanted to learn or make a study on radiation effects on human beings and so that all of these people were chosen. to be used as guinea pigs the rationale in part was that and this is quoting from the brookhaven report of one nine hundred fifty eight greater knowledge of such effects on human beings is is badly needed such as the habitation of these people on the island will afford most valuable ecological radiation data on human beings. various radio isotopes present can be traced from the soil through the food chain and into the human beings where the tissue an organ distribution biological half lives and excretion
6:45 pm
rates can be studied they have to bring in some people from an. experiment started to get their picture name with their i.d.'s and use them as an x. that's when we progress and they stood. for one purpose x. . we know that chronic low dose exposure will increase to some extent the incidence of leukemia and cancer of the skin but we are in a region that we really know very little about in regard to human effects one of things about good health care is the people that are receiving the health care at the first of all trust in what they're trying to do and trust involves historical context of it and so i think there were definite trust issues. the department of energy stacks more than three million cubic feet of studies on
6:46 pm
radiation the scientists were so fascinated by this research that from one nine hundred forty seven until the seventies they conducted experiments on the american population itself. people were injured it was plutonium some of the leading health institutions in the united states the stated purpose of many of these experiments were to devise ways to protect people from radiation exposure we haven't seen any as far as i could i could recall any really useful information or they came out of these pregnant women were given radioactive iron to see the metabolism revived of our body and though children part of it there was a school for supposedly retarded children and radioactive cereal was fed to these children the president of the health physics society was asked would you give this radioactive cereal to your children and he said of course not and so this is the
6:47 pm
problem of of places like we're all aware there's travel of immediate us up here to be and to ventilated a war what. so that the castle probable shot the not everyone fires because i think in the end all the islands up. slowly in the fall are. jumped around because it is. there are always said. everybody makes me you know. every once in this but something new planet. called that misty it was like. countdown i guess. and.
6:48 pm
it was like. being there. in the marshland were mostly my hips or minds. and in that they may have maybe been in bed. by. the people of brown that have been engaged in talks with the united states and they still hope that justice will prevail. but the superpower frightens. i don't believe in a confrontational top policy and being an anti-american. i think that would be counterproductive to our issues than our relationship with the united states i believe that americans should provide all the health care to the marshallese people because they are responsible for the testing they contaminate in our islands.
6:49 pm
so far we have negotiated with them it didn't work out it's not helping much. as the wrongly piece chased after a health program and the decontamination of their island huge expenditures i made right under their noses yes the islands are still at the heart of american military research with project that at the epicenter. was an able base and its support of the testing during the eighty's when the star wars program came into effect questions importance was raised again it became what has been referred to as the catcher's mitt where rockets fired from vandenberg air force base in california would land in the lagoon or near. while hanging on to the dream of building an anti-missile shield the americans bombed progeny for more than twenty years but this sort of nuclear umbrella which cost the american taxpayers about ten
6:50 pm
billion dollars every year is also very controversial because the united states doesn't hide its intention to install interceptors in space as you know today in government under paul martin was committed secretly silently to becoming part of the american missile defense plans and many of us said hey wait a minute this really isn't about missile defense this is really about. first beginnings of the weaponization of space once we got the information of the sort of sixty five percent favored it was sixty five percent against we forced him to the us the americans that we can use no thank you very much we were going to be part of it the u.s. has unilaterally walk and for the un disarmament commission to expand the outer space treaty to prevent militarization speech the lack of current discussions international about what all the planning in space is very bad i only have one army
6:51 pm
of engineers are improving our cellular phones now communications in the world you have another army of engineers are planning a whole always to destroy what's going on up there. they tell us that it's a big boys and nothing is like an empty shell like to believe that is that his army but. how can we trust. that. we have to tell our story because we are a product of nuclear weapons we want to tell the world that these are the consequences . i said i almost. i said this is my song. it was in this that i tell the story over and over again
6:52 pm
to the were i said to myself. what is my story is it wouldn't while or is there for everybody to listen to what if there is no money for the people are wrong not for program then what i said share my body to the work. butyl why people who experience. but do something big for the people. in the marshes back all over them why survive. and believe they need something in return we don't do business for free i have the kind of family planning planned on. perry my family by the way can.
6:53 pm
you get them but seriously want me to go back. in one thousand nine hundred six the testimony of lesion at night before the international court of justice sealed the fate of nuclear weapons on july eighth the panel of judges declared the threat or use of nuclear weapons in general is contrary to the norms of international law included in the law of war. or the judges of the court were unanimous in their opinion that the nuclear weapon should be exterminated from the centers of the wood and there is that there were so many principles of international law which the nuclear weapon but it. we're gay male or a grammy no i haven't said i don't like the people you're not the state it goes there are more we want to let us in the room and it's. this
6:54 pm
famous for it where one only were not on time and place. it is my friend. who else is gone and her mother. were also each one of five. survivors on their kids. there was neither anger nor hatred in the survivors voices just pain the nuclear powers are lucky these voices are too weak to prevent these arsenals from re-emerging in military strategies the international court of justice is a moral authority and its opinion has had no effect on countries that depend on the atom bomb for their power so between the time faded images of the victims and disregard for the future we are counting on the survivors descendants to intervene . but beyond mucky or evelyn who can say who is not living with the legacy of
6:55 pm
hiroshima or wrong clap.
6:56 pm
6:57 pm
6:58 pm
the news today violence is once again flared up. and these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day. these top stories of greater chaos at caltech someone brushed off his head strong and stopped and electric chair and no one said that maybe in the final allowed people to buy it online if the lives of dolly the plants he says his extra trick experiment is just sleazy it's a really good. point for money and should not be instant message from new york city's mayor michael bloomberg who tells anonymous to stop complaining about others and look instead at the mistakes he also sad ignorance let us make this
6:59 pm
great move with trying. out the red stones and joy as the country is about to introduce a bond so that symbol of the opposition says it's an ill timed down to pointless time so rewrite history on the big government focus instead of a real problem that's. next on the mark skies and stays a how to discuss why the world's top economists think white collar criminals are a block to financial recovery and how a third of adults in britain see no shame in bankruptcy uncovering standards in high finance if the kaiser report next here on alt. i have asked geyser and this is the kaiser report marcus finance and scammed all i'm max kaiser this.
