one enters my mind gets consumed with this one. speech and now because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. if. her s. . having your name i am in an area and her memory and you. are hearing and then your name hearing. the man in. the car
8:30 am
announcing. before a. new jersey marriage one of the names for it. is. a very. close moldering don't always reverdy one of the old church incurious a little. bit here we have world version of it in a. little lower city player over the next forty three. it's like the same.
8:31 am
place concept of burning trash and war is not new 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 personnel to support the invasion of iraq and the war in afghanistan. where did 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. for receiving more blasting of fire and we're going to have to make it instigated this way is a catastrophe in the making. at
8:32 am
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 that is as were the military during the war collected all their waste in one central location and so they're burying that they decided to burn it and they burn everything in the us we think why did it take the. moon. moon. why we would burn why is human waste.
8:33 am
trash and. plastics and medical. supplies. to name anything that they wouldn't use anymore they were burned. at times they also had. body pipes. plastics chemicals paint batteries tires literally anything that could be disposed of was thrown in there. and it would dump diesel. and then light it up. there was a blue smoke and the he's looked like the san francisco for the smell was extremely
8:34 am
toxic very very putrid it burn your eyes burn your throat burn your nose i mean it was just in. dirty stinky. some days the. 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. ok to give them a gas mask but i wasn't. near. my own i knew. there was more for a nuclear biological chemical. i was never mandatory for us to and. no safeguards were in place to protect the
8:35 am
soldiers dog as a matter of fact they 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 our trailers where it just kind of hung all day all the time twenty four seven right above you don't always smell the. plastic bird or buildings or the wood you know trails. i mean. 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 pm it was just news 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
8:36 am
and dust yourself off your hair your clothing and with all the ashes that were falling on us. news 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 are people that you're going to get for they call the iraqi crowd everybody gets sick for the first couple of weeks atrocious. but now 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 i mean absolutely when thinking about that and thinking they got it all control were here you know certainly. people wouldn't be doing anything knowingly to poisonous but that turns out to be you know. not the case. these personnel would be exposed to
8:37 am
a toxic soup of chemicals released into the atmosphere plastics and star riffle metals chemicals from paints and solvents petroleum and lubricants jet fuel and on exploded ordinance medical and other dangerous waste. here men are supposed to breathe clean their air is twenty one percent oxygen and seventy nine percent nitrogen with no air pollution are particles in the air and in particle air can trigger asthma and when you particles in an open air setting at low temperature at low heat it generates thousands times more particles than using a. burning particles particularly for burning carcinogens exposed as a person when they need it and 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 leases benzene which is
8:38 am
a carcinogen. i find it amazing that the military having a regulation for everything you can have any regulation in place. that 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 i don't care they just wanted to keep on funding because they they had they wanted bin ladden i trow he wanted to fight the war even now in here we can burn scarified we can't burn certain things in open air so why weren't they allowed. the soldiers to do it. personally within three days i could feel it like something
8:39 am
was wrong and it hit me real hard i went to search. for medication. and it 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 return back to the states i knew different and the 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 me you know a lot of other guys me to get 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 they're experiencing all 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 exercise the
8:40 am
way they could so they started writing about it. rather than from the united states military it says open burn it's a rock exposed thousands of troops of 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 torch everything from batteries to body parts experts say the 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 know it is. the v.a. clinic instead of seeing old caucasian men with meal chairs and oxygen who are in their eighty's. the entire composition of the waiting room changed. of young women and men of all ethnicities and they're all in their twenty's back from their first
8:41 am
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 itll that doctors are throwing up their hands and saying what would cause a twenty seven year old man to have a long. long journeys are a respiratory condition eighty five year old man and they started pointing to their
8:42 am
exposure to these burnt heads in the fail to realize that a lot of these guys and gals had been living around these pits for for their entire tour of duty. can cough would go forward and then when you start out 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. welcome to a low that are already got really large network at the back. financial
8:43 am
survival guide stacey. let's say i'm not so i guess. the fight. thank you for. destroying.
8:44 am
here's what people have been saying about rejected in the senate it's the law in austin the only show i go out of my way to punch you know what it is that really packs the. yampa is the john oliver of our three americans doing the same. apparently better than the things that you see people you 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 lung disease acute being area versus 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'm not of these veterans to come to his own conclusion
8:45 am
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 it. and the diagnosis was constrictor prophylactics in english it's a small area where his disease so the lining of your loans are destroyed if you have a perfectly healthy young soldier. goes over to iraq and afghanistan and coggs back with construction broadway this that's really a big concern or we're clearly implicated. in the increased incidence of lung disease associated with deployment. video indeed decided they weren't going to send any war veterans his way anymore. i think dr miller's research and his study is a perfect example of. trying to avoid that.
8:46 am
i'm trying and trying not to have 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 the apartment of defense that couldn't accept these findings in you can speculate that they couldn't expect the that they couldn't accept these findings because of the potential broad implication the idea that maybe there was a new asian 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 i believe that they're doing everything they can to stave that off.
8:47 am
on a. bad thing . and. convince of the benefits 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 pas and into the longs so it is a multi factorial exposure to the symptoms or anywhere from from respiratory issues some mild to severe to rare forms of cancers leukemias it's
8:48 am
a wide range of symptoms that people were experiencing if you really. look into it and do the research you can link these symptoms directly to the burn pits my diagnosis is one that started out as seen oit sinus plasma psych 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 psych 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 ah 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 started researching this particular issue and it kept coming back to the same thing what causes plasma psycho toxic exposure.
8:49 am
when he first got back i mean he was healthy he was out the it was probably not even less after. a year that he came back they started. the tonsils got swollen and he. and he would believe. he would believe from his mouth. i would have chunks of tissue from out of his mind and he would spit it out and i believe it was two days a day after christmas when he was on and told that he lists cancer it's. really really ill. discussion radio. shows vomiting feces and everything else and. when they took out the gallbladder just to be safe
8:50 am
when they went in there to remove the gall bladder they took a biopsy of the two. but there was one of my lower back i'll be a little mackenzie. as you know beau biden vice president biden's son served in the military and he served in iraq and she was in perfect health shortly after the count home within nine months he started getting sick he had a brain tumor. and she 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. look bad. but. it just didn't make sense it didn't make sense that my young
8:51 am
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 smoke he never smoked he's not a drinker. 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 money healthy anymore. it's a challenge but for other people it's it's been. it turns out the military knew all along that this toxic exposure could be. very
8:52 am
well her the troops living by these burn pads lieutenant colonel curtis in two thousand and six had written a memo saying the pollution there was dangerous that it would be causing health hazards to live and work near the pits. it was completely buried it's calm 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 remember which is completely buried. they knew about this in the continue to free can do it. even then would you do that we'll willingly accept. being shot. taken prisoner. big naiveness signed up to be poisoned by
8:53 am
room people. there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government but there was any connection between burn 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 said that the military was aware that the pollution levels around the pits were at an unsafe unhealthy level now they deal with the after them and always told wished attempted to downplay it they have 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. 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
8:54 am
did not identify an increased risk of breast. retore 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. contest for snow and albany new york and july. you may not find snow in albany new york. but that does not mean that 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 them burning you may not attack a part of it you don't put in
8:55 am
a monitor until after the burning stuff you may not detect burning any common sense tells you there was a lot of bad there. is no. can you say. there's a. big. to do. all around the globe there's jobs. in the polls or not true. the world's finest people building the length. of the company and leave. the waste management responsibilities were part of a contract that was held by kellogg brown and root which was
8:56 am
a subsidiary of halliburton the. company once run by dick cheney vice president dick cheney during the bush years the story about how how byrd and k.b.r. got these no bid contracts really has not come to light enough i know from some depositions testimony and some of the would have been involved in that there were contract was allegedly negotiated over a couple hours over the phone for a multibillion dollar contract work k.b.r. was the only company that was allowed to actually get. the city of minima so moch was hit the hardest by the twenty eleven tsunami. but it was damaged mostly by the radiation after the nuclear disaster with a little not even enough to let you know that we don't think it will also come up
8:57 am
that i. am a little sensitive to detect there will be contamination is not complete much many locals could not leave their houses and farms there's no place you know you know. it's. nice and i. think to want to they stay strong like their ancestors centuries ago did. for you. and i mean i'm also you got. a lot i want. to know what will. you do with my will there wouldn't souls find a way to rebuild their lives in the world and landscape.
8:58 am
all the food we go free. everyone in the world should in theory of you and you'll get it on the old rule. the old according to just. come along from iraq. may not only be tasty but also. the relationship between cancer it was proved suggested well and a fairly strong one there were two thousand. and ten the study it's a very extensive study done by a well respected scientist. do chemicals that down the advertising really increase the risk of cancer means are known to infuse damage in the test is it a shared skepticism they do not believe that risk is is truly by
8:59 am
independent scientists and in the meat industry paid you for this i received some compensation for my time as was the others why is that the meat lobby. didn't like what we were doing and if you want to learn more you'll get a definite on the floodgate. you're not back to. is it big business against health. started. in safety.
9:00 am
ah i protesters in the u.s. take down a civil war monument by force in north carolina following me by the far right rally . president from because they keep supporting far right extremism also this out feud was accused of censorship to make the tracking system excuses she's in the least video used from journalists and groups on you tube and germany's lackluster campaign election fever fails to ignite voters in the most powerful country.
