4:30 am
when so many find themselves worlds apart a. chance to look for common ground. alice having young women and caring and their money and your lung hearing and then knowing they are eight. legged on a real national. park an hour.
4:31 am
before. new jersey made one of the names for a home is. most moldering don't always were burning people in the old security curious a little. bit here we have our own version of you know. a. little dirty player over the next forty three. weeks the lights of the school. play concept of burning trash and war is not new
4:32 am
it is all this war itself the difference here was that this war was lasting for a decade and included hands thousands of troops and every person out to support the invasion of iraq and the war in afghanistan. where they were alleged rash and these huge open air heads. they burned everything creating this black plume of smoke that had been just bursting are settling over is small the word of five cities. and you had people living in barracks right next to this clune people working right next to it and now working with it with no protection whatsoever. and will receive a more blast of the fire and we're going to have to make it instigated this way is a catastrophe in the making.
4:33 am
at the start of the war in afghanistan the military commanders on the ground realized that they had a big problem with the trash that was accumulating from the war each soldier was accumulating approximately nine pounds of trash a day on the battlefield they didn't know what to do with it so they came up with the idea through centcom which is central command decided to create burn pits to burn the trash that was being accumulated. over it is is where the military during the war collected all their waste in one central location and sort of burying it they decided to burn it they burn everything they become us we think of what they take to be a bright. moon in. a new moon. why we would burn with human waste.
4:34 am
trash and. plastics and medical. supplies. and new new. anything that they would in use anymore they would burn. at times they also had. to pipe. plastics chemicals paint batteries tires literally anything that could be disposed of was thrown in there. and it would dump diesel on days if you. and then lighting that. there was a blue smoke and the he's looked like the san francisco for the smell was extremely
4:35 am
toxic very very putrid burn your eyes burn your throat burn your nose i mean it was just nasty dirty stinky. some days that. can talk of the smell of the burn ph and the sewage pit would literally make you would drop you to your knees and you'd vomit i mean it was it was that bad you knew. there was no protection. and not. many one. to give them a gas mask but it was a pretty unknown. here. and i knew. it was more for nuclear biological chemical. and i knew nearer. to learn and i was never mandatory for us to learn that. no safeguards were in
4:36 am
place to protect the soldiers dog as a matter of fact that they would build the seas burn pits sometimes within three hundred meters from from where the soldiers were were actually quartered behaves in the smoke drifted over to where our trailers were and just kind of hung all day all the time twenty four seven right above you know always smell the. you know. plastic bird buildings or the wood you know mel's. i mean it's. it's just really an offensive putrid kind of a smell it's very hard. to describe because when it was mixed with the smell of the sewage b.s. it was just i mean it's just got awful your nose would burn your eyes would water your throat would burn during the course of the day you would you have to go and dust yourself off your hair or your clothing with all the ashes that were falling
4:37 am
on us. now we never complained. they say embrace the suck man. because to the work area we had initial briefing mother superior and we were told to keep an eye on her people then you're going to get what they call the recchi crowd everybody gets sick for the first couple of weeks atrocious. but not without a doubt within a week people were getting sick i really don't remember anybody questioning at that time. the health effects that it would have i mean i certainly wasn't thinking about that and thinking they got it on control or here you know certainly our own people wouldn't be doing anything knowingly to poison us but that turns out to be you know. not the case. these personnel would be exposed to a toxic soup of chemicals released into the atmosphere plastics and star
4:38 am
a full metals chemicals from paints and solvents petroleum and lubricants jet fuel and on exploded ordinance medical and other dangerous waste. humans are supposed to brand clean their air is twenty one percent oxygen and seventy nine percent nitrogen with no air pollution or particles in the air and in particle air can trigger asthma and when you particles in an open air setting at low temperature low heat it generates thousands times more particles than using a. burning particles particularly for burning. carcinogen exposed as a person when they need it hail it sniff it get it on their skin and they get exposed to carcinogens which can cause cancer so burning with j.p. eight which is jet fuel low temperature will they says benzene which is a carcinogen. i find it amazing that the military having
4:39 am
a regulation for everything you didn't have any regulation in place for permit operations and those burn pits that were created in iraq and afghanistan whimpers from two thousand to two thousand and nine burning without any regulation at all didn't have regulation where they would be built how they would be constructed they didn't do any soil samples before they built the berm pits they didn't do any plume samples after the burn pits were operational for many many years. after nine eleven they don't care they just wanted to keep on sending the guy found because they they had they wanted bin ladden i trolled he wanted to fight the war even now in here we can burn stereophile we can't burn certain things in open air so why would they allowing the soldiers to do it and i personally within three days i could feel it like something was wrong and it hit me real hard i went to search
4:40 am
and they gave me different medications a cream and a biologics and for me it just wouldn't go away within fifteen days that i was there was even sicker i was pretty sick the whole deployment and when i came back and returned back to the states i knew definitely something was wrong and that became the oh pill battle of trying to figure out what was wrong and how bad it was going to be i started developing sinus problems mean you know a lot of other guys and we turn to nasal sprays and stuff to try to alleviate that and i just had. sinus problems. veterans were coming home they had stories to tell they came home there experiencing all of these health conditions they didn't know why these presumably very healthy men and women all of a sudden were walking around like old men and women not being able to run exercise
4:41 am
the way they could so they started writing about it. and they've been for the united states military it says open this iraq exposed thousands of troops to toxic chemicals a mysterious illness is affecting veterans who were exposed to open burn pits which the u.s. military used in iraq and afghanistan to torture everything from batteries to body forts experts say the fumes pouring out of these pits are toxic and dangerous so while troops may survive the battle they may also be poisoned. in september two thousand and four. i noticed that the v.a. clinic instead of seeing caucasian men with real chairs and oxygen who were in their eighty's. the entire composition of the waiting room changed was full of young women and men of all ethnicities and they were all in their twenty's
4:42 am
back from their first year long deployment in iraq. the typical service member came in with an inability to complete a two mile run within regulation time. most of them had already had a traditional work up for pulmonary disease including x. rays c.t. scans primary function testing all of these studies returned normal or near normal in almost every case. it was subtle because these service members complained of shortness of breath with exertion but their x. rays and pulmonary function tests indicated that they shouldn't have any disability at all that doctors were throwing up their hands and saying what would cause a twenty seven year all man to have a long. long journeys or a respiratory condition eighty five year old man and they started pointing to their exposure to these burnt heads in the fail to realize that
4:43 am
a lot of these guys and gals had been living around these pits for for their entire tour of duty. hacking cough would go forward and then when you started on bringing different colors something trunk. and general body weakness just try. goodnow for their head to be some explanation that led us to begin doing surgical lung biopsies to look for things that you might miss in conventional testing. make this manufacture consent to stick to the public will. when the right wing closest to protect themselves. with the flame and.
4:44 am
listen to the one person. in the middle of the room sick. room in the real news room. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate it's full on awesome the only show i go out of my way to punch you know what it is that really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than the things that i see people you've never heard of love redacted tonight the president of the world bank so very. many seriously he sent us an e-mail. what he found was a series of veterans who had a q. . disease that's. being area versus
4:45 am
a ball. injury that he was able to find through long biopsies what he found with these tiny little holes these terrorists and their long tissue he saw i know of these veterans to come to his own conclusion that they could have only got this from a toxic exposure. to produce his career looking for this problem and he was able to discover. the diagnosis was constrictor prophylactics in english it's a small airways disease so. lining up your loans are destroyed if you have a perfectly healthy young soldier. goes over iraq and afghanistan a colleague's bad but construction project when it's that's really a big concern or were clearly implicated. in increased incidence of lung disease associated with deployment. video dean decided they weren't going to send any more
4:46 am
veterans his way any more. i think dr miller's research and his study is a perfect example of of the v.a. . trying to avoid the issue in trying and trying not to to pay the compensations to veterans. that they deserve he has the proof he has everything they are and they still will not even address his research. there were many people in that apartment or defense that couldn't accept these findings in you can speculate that they couldn't expect be that they couldn't accept these findings because of the potential broad implication the idea that maybe there was a new agent orange. this deployment the government is looking down the road at billions of dollars and health care costs that they will be responsible for and
4:47 am
i believe that they're doing everything they can to stave that off. track. comments of the burn fats are causing ls along the soldiers this is a new disease we call this iraq afghanistan war long injury some of the more severe cases entail that all the positive hits of the long so it is
4:48 am
a multi-factorial exposure to the symptoms or anywhere from from respiratory issues some mild to severe to rear forms of cancers leukemias it's a wide range of symptoms that people are experiencing if you really look into it and do the research you could make these symptoms directly to the burn pits my diagnosis is one that started out as you know i had sinus plasma side toma if you can say that in one word which is a four point four centimeter tumor right here in my head that started out as a solitary plasma site toma it was biopsied and found to be that. will automatically flip down with some me tell you have a tumor in your head underneath your brain you want to know. what's going on with that and i didn't know anything about this burn pit exposure thing or nothing until after my diagnosis. so the first thing i did was i ran to the internet and i
4:49 am
started researching this particular issue and it kept coming back to the same thing what causes plasma site to a toxic exposure. when he first got back i mean he was healthy he knows how to be on it was probably not even less after. a year and he came back and he started on. their tonsils got swelling. and he would lead and he would believe from his mouth. i would have chunks of tissue come out of his mind and he was spit it out and i believe it was two days a day after christmas when he was on told that he lists cancer. was
4:50 am
a really really ill. discussion. that was bombed in feces and everything else and that when they took out the gallbladder just to be safe when they went in there to remove the gall bladder they took a biopsy of the two but there was blood in my lower bowel and then a. little mckenzie. as you know beau biden vice president biden's son served in the military and he served in iraq and he was in perfect health shortly after the camp home within nine months he started getting sick and he had a brain tumor. and he eventually died from the brain tumor the same type of brain tumor that many of the soldiers that are sick from the four inputs are complaining about same type of cancer there's a lot of circumstantial evidence that points to you know his death may have been caused from the burn pits.
4:51 am
but. it just it makes sense it didn't make sense that my healthy husband had cancer and then it turned out there were two types of cancer how is it not the burn pits is not a type of cancer for a young twenty seven year old guy to have because first he didn't smile he never smoked his natural. usually that's the type of cancer that older gentleman who smoked for a long period of their lives should tobacco or drink but dr he said it was chemical exposure. our troops are healthy or they don't go. in they're coming back in there not a lot of more healthy anymore. it's
4:52 am
a challenge but for other people it's it's been. it turns out the military knew all along. that this toxic exposure could very well her the troops living by these burn pits lieutenant colonel curtis in two thousand and six had written a memo saying the pollution there was dangerous that that it would be causing health hazards to live and work near the pits it was completely buried it at centcom no one no one took it seriously deborah they never addressed his issues soldiers on the ground had no idea about colonel curtis's findings and his concern us was never shared with anybody the memo which is completely buried. they knew about this and they continue to free can do it.
4:53 am
even they would you do that we all willingly accept the risk of being shot and wounded taken prisoner. but none of us signed up to be poisoned by our own people. there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from clearly the cat was out of the bag the two thousand and six memo had basically sad. that the military was aware that the pollution levels around the pits were at an unsafe unhealthy level now the d.o.d. after that mt always told wished attempted to downplay it they had their own study . commissioned in two thousand and eleven with the institutes of health and medicine that study had said that they could not find
4:54 am
a connection between the pollution levels around the pits and the health effects that the veterans were experiencing. those studies which were very in-depth did not identify an increased risk of respiratory symptoms or disease at locations with burn pits as opposed to no burn pits. the army did their own study and years later and it was it was completely flawed for several reasons one it only studied one burn pit out of two hundred seventy three that were located in iraq and afghanistan they didn't have prior plume samples because it was done done the whole study was a complete. fraud. test for snow and albany new york and july. you may not find snow in albany new york.
4:55 am
but that does not mean that it doesn't then it does not snow in albany new york if you send a monitor's when. you may not intact burning trash the monitors are too far away from the burning you may not attack a part of if you don't put in a monitor until after the burning stuff you may not detect. any common sense tells you there was a lot of bad there. is no. what you see. there's a. big. big. all around the globe there's. truth. the world's finest people building. the world the company and leave.
4:56 am
the waste management responsibilities were part of a contract that was held by kellogg brown and root which was a subsidiary of halliburton the company once run by dick cheney vice president dick cheney during the bush years the story about how then k.b.r. got these no bid contracts really has not come to light and now i know from some depositions testimony and some of the litigation baldwin that there were contract was allegedly negotiated over a couple hours over the phone for a multibillion dollar contract worth k.b.r. was the only company that was allowed to actually get it. in case you're new to the game this is how. the economy is built around.
