12:30 am
cities. we think that people can and you had people living in barracks right next to this clueless people working right next to it and now working with it with no protection whatsoever. with the ball receiving more blast and we're going to have to make it into cable this way is a catastrophe in the making and. the people are going to. that's a 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 a 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
12:31 am
trash that was being accumulated. over this 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 and they burn everything in the us we think of what they take to be burnt. moon moon. and new moon. while we would burn less human waste. trash. plastics medical. supplies. to name. anything that they would in use anymore they would burn. at times they also had. the pipes. plastics chemicals paint batteries tires literally anything that could be disposed
12:32 am
of was thrown in there. and it we were dumped these. days a few elaina. and then lighting that. there was a blue smoke and the haze looked like the san francisco for the smell was extremely toxic very very putrid burn your eyes burn your throat burn your nose i mean it was just nasty dirty stinky. some days that they. 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.
12:33 am
going to. give them a gas mask but it was a pretty. clear. mind i knew. there was more for nuclear biological chemical. and i knew. it was never mandatory for us to learn that. no safeguards were in 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. behaves in the smoke drifted over to where our trailers were it just kind of hung all day all the time twenty four seven right about you know always smell the. plastic bird bird buildings or the wood you know blocks mels.
12:34 am
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 and dust yourself off your hair or your clothing with all the ashes that were falling 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 our people then you're going to get for they call the iraqi crowd everybody gets sick for the first couple of weeks atrocious and that now without a doubt within a week people were falling out getting sick i really don't remember anybody
12:35 am
questioning at that time. the health effects that it would have mastered like when thinking about that and thinking they got their own control or here you know certainly our own people wouldn't be doing anything knowingly to poising 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 styrofoam metals chemicals from paints and solvents petroleum and lubricants jet fuel and on exploded ordinance medical and other dangerous waste. humans are supposed to breathe clean air 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
12:36 am
low temperature low heat it generates thousands times more particles than using a center. 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 a carcinogen. i find it amazing that the military having a regulation for everything you didn't 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
12:37 am
i think care just wanted to keep on funding like i found. they had they whine and mad and i told you i wanted to fight the war even now in here we can burn stereophile we can burn certain things in open air so why weren't they all. when the soldiers to do it personally within three days i could feel it like something was wrong and it hit me real hard i went to. different medications. 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 down i could be returned 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
12:38 am
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 constant 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 run exercise the way they could so they started writing about it. rather than from the united states military it says open it's the 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 parts experts say the pouring out of these pits are toxic and dangerous so while
12:39 am
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 old caucasian men with meal chairs and oxygen who were in their eighty's. the entire composition of the waiting room changed. full of young women and men of all ethnicities and they're all in their twenty's 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 plenty function testing all of these studies returned normal or near normal in almost every case. it was subtle because these service members complained of
12:40 am
shortness of breath with exertion but their x. rays and pomery 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 and the fail to realize that a lot of these guys and gals had been living around these pits for for their entire tour duty. hacking cough would go forward and then when you started on bringing different colors some control. and general body weakness to just trial data how bad and good know for their head to be some explanation that led us to begin doing surgical lung biopsies to look for things that you might miss
12:41 am
in conventional testing. so. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. for something i want to press. that's a right to be press that's what the four point three in the morning can't be good that i'm interested always in the waters of my colleagues. yes sure. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were a south and taken your last to bang turn. your at the top to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put
12:42 am
to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with death this one differs i speak to you now because there are no other takers. to the claim that mainstream media has met its maker. prescribe medication is widespread on the us market and a frequent cause of death at the point in my life i just felt like everything was ashes my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit
12:43 am
suicide watch all who has made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do we were being responsible and what the real side effects . was is gellatly alter what i did was done on a cocktail of lethal drugs. just because something's legal doesn't mean it's safe. to. apply for many clubs over the years so i know the guy even so i doubt. the ball isn't only about what happens on the pitch at a formal school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age. the superman each of killian erroneous and spending two hundred twenty million on one player. it's an experience like nothing else on here because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful guy a great so one more chance for. and thinks this minute.
12:44 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 run you know what it is that really packs a punch. yampa is the john oliver of our three americans do the same we are apparently better than that and see people you never heard of love redacted tonight the president of the world bank so they can write me seriously send us an e-mail. what he found was a series of veterans who had a q. lung disease that's. being area versus
12:45 am
a ball. injury that he was able to find through long biopsies what he found with these tiny little holes these tears and their long tissue he saw nothing 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 procul in english it's a small airways disease so the lining of your loans are destroyed if you have a perfectly healthy young soldier. goes over to iraq and afghanistan and cause bad but 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 were going to send
12:46 am
any more veterans his way anymore. i think dr drew. research in his study is a perfect example of the via a. trying to avoid the issue and trying 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 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 agent orange. this deployment the government is looking down the road
12:47 am
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. of him and. help one of. the three i am. convinced 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 lungs so it is
12:48 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 experience and 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 site toma it was biopsied and found to be that. will automatically flip down with some he tells 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
12:49 am
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. 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 on the consulate and got sworn in and in the. end he would bleed and he would believe from his mouth. i would have chunks of tissue come 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.
12:50 am
really really ill. discussion to go. that was done 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 tumor that was blocking my lower bowel and then it being a little mechanics. but 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 we have 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 permits 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.
12:51 am
it just didn't make sense it didn't make sense that my young healthy husband had cancer and then it turned out there were two types of cancer how is it not the armpit 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 and usually that's the type of cancer that older gentleman who smoked for a long period of their lives should tobacco or drink the doctor he said it was chemical exposure. our troops are healthy or they don't go. in they're coming back
12:52 am
in in there not a lot of more healthy anymore. it's a challenge but for other people it's. it's been dan. 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 that it was completely buried in its own 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.
12:53 am
even they would you do that we'll willingly accept the reality of being shot we've. taken prisoner. but nothing has signed up to be poisoned by our own 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
12:54 am
find a connection between the pollution levels around the pits and the health. the facts 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. contest for snow and albany new york and july. you may not find snow in albany new york.
12:55 am
but that does not mean that it does not snow in albany new york and he sent out monitors when. you may not intact burning trash the monitors are too far away from them burning he may not attack a part of it he don't put in 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. what can you say. there's a. new only big there is to do. it . all around the globe there's. the poles or not true.
12:56 am
the world's finest people building a leg. no other company can live with. the waste management responsibilities were part of a. 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 how bird and 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 with occasional involved in 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.
12:57 am
here's what people have been saying about redacted in. the law. the only show i go out of my way to you know what it is that really packs a punch. is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same. parent way better than. the c. . heard of. jack to the next president of the world bank so. seriously send us an e-mail. a little more to sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings police to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. to do socks try to tell you that the beach gossip the tabloids but it. doesn't tell you all enough.
12:58 am
along. with what. in terms of foreign policy donald trump is already earned himself the title the low expectations president this title is now being put to the test during his tour of asia because the u.s. a status quo power in the asia pacific region. boils challenging china. please. just have to keep it as i live it here you hear yourself in. front. lena. young. we are like. we have many things in this world and this is you know for everyone and why some
