please. keep lists. s. s. . s. . s. . s. . s. . s. . the to. sleep yes. it. is. if if.

i only counting on him and then harry and him on one hundred and you on hearing and then doing a right. man on a real man. and young out on. before the. new testament one of the names for elmo is. the slow entering don't always were burning people of the old church it was you it's a little. bit here we have world version of you know.

very. little ability to play over the next forty three. people. since. this 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 tens of thousands of troops and personnel to support the invasion of iraq and the war in afghanistan. where did they bring their trash in 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 the fire and we're going to have to make it instigated this way is a compassionate feat in the making. 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 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 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 that you know us we think of what they take to be burnt. to mean. why 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 of was thrown in there. and it would dump diesel. 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. can talk of the smell of the burn ph and the sewage pit would literally make you would drop your knees and you'd vomit i mean it was it was that bad you knew. there was no protection. and not. anyone that did it give them a gas mask but i wasn't there and none near. my and i knew.

there was more for nuclear biological chemical. and i knew. i 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 and just kind of hung all day all the time twenty four seven right above you know always smell the. you know plastic bird per buildings or the wood you know a lot of males. 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 with are 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 a truck. but not now without a doubt within a week people were falling out getting sick i really don't remember anybody questioning at that time. the health effects that it would have mastered lee when

thinking about their lives they can they got it on 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 in style reform 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 low temperature at low heat it generates thousands times more particles than using

a center. burning particles particularly for burning carcinogens exposure as a person when they need it and hail it sniff it get it on their skin they get exposed to carcinogens which can cause cancer so burning with j.p. eight which is jet fuel low temperature will least as 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 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 i don't care because i wanted to keep on spending like i thought because they they

had they won and they matter and i. wanted to fight the war even now in here we can burn stereophile we can't burn certain things in open air so why weren't they allowed. 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 search. for medication. and i bought it and for me it just wouldn't go away within fifteen days that i was there was even sicker i was pretty sick to hold a plane 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 o.p.o. 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 changing 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 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 the way they could so they started writing about it. on a statement from the united states military it says open the furthest in 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 troops may survive the battle they may also be poisoned. in september two thousand and four. i notice. 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. 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 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 pomery function tests indicated that they shouldn't have any disability at

all that doctors are throwing up their hands and saying what would cause a twenty seven year all man to have the long. long journeys are a respiratory condition eighty five year old man and they started pointing to their exposure to these burnt heads in the fail to realize a lot of these guys gals had been living around these pits for for their entire tour duty. hacking cough would go forward and then when you start to bring in different colors some control. and general body weakness just how bad how bad and good nor for their head to be some explanation that led us to begin doing surgical long biopsies to look for things that you might miss in conventional testing.

prescribe medication is widespread on the u.s. market and a frequent cause of death at that point in my life i just felt like. everything was ashes my family was literally coming unglued i had actually planned. to commit some sight watch all who has made antidepressants so commonly used we were doing what the doctors told us to do you know we were being responsible and what the real side effects why. was this gently alter what i did was done on a cocktail of legal drugs. just because something's legal doesn't mean it's saying. i don't think that it's the people are always suffering always is in the detention center the libya is one that

if they don't you percent of the responsibilities of coming from one country the seventy one or the seventy percent is coming from an idea i think that we have to see that we have to discuss how to improve our capacity to alleviate that this offer and so on the human being to. what he found was a series of veterans who had a queue lung disease acute being area versus the ball. injury that he was able to find through long biopsies where he

found where these tiny little holes his tears and their long tissue he saw nothing of these veterans to. 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 it and the diagnosis was constrictor prophylactics 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 it comes back with construction project latest that's really a big concern are we're clearly implicated in. an increased incidence of lung disease associated with deployment. video deede decided they were going to send any

more 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 and trying 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 department of defense that couldn't accept these findings in you could speculate that they couldn't expect be that they couldn't accept these findings because of the potential broader implication the idea that maybe there was a new agent orange thinking 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. the comments of the bar in france are causing ls along the soldiers this is a new disease we call this a rock afghanistan war long injury some of the more severe cases entail that all the positive and it's a long 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 a wide range of symptoms that people are experience and if you really look into it and do the research you can make these symptoms directly to the permits my diagnosis is one that started out as you know i had sinus plasma sayto much 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 was biopsied and found to be that. will automatically flip down with so 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

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 on got back i mean he was healthy he was healthy it was probably not even less after. a year that he came back they started on the tonsils and got swelling pain. and he would bleed 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 or it a day after christmas when he was on told that he lists cancer was

a really really ill. discussion. that was vomiting feces and everything else and then when they took out the gallbladder just to be safe when they went in there to remove the gallbladder they took a biopsy of the tumor that was blocking my lower bowel and then it being a little mccants 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 burn pits 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.

it just didn't make sense it didn't make sense that my healthy has been. i had cancer and then it turned out there were two types of cancer how was 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 more 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 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 at centcom no one no one took it seriously deborah they never addressed is issues soldiers on the ground had no idea about colonel kurtz'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. why in the hell would you do that we'll willingly accept the risk of being

shot we've. taken prisoner. signed up to be poisoned by iran. there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between the 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 the d.o.d. after that man always told west 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

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 any 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. but that does not mean that it doesn't then it does not snow in albany new york and

he was sent out monitors when in front you may not be intact burning trash the monitors are too far away from the burnings you may not attack a part of if you don't put in a monitor into. after the burning stopped you may not detect burning any common sense tells you there was a lot of bad in there. what can you say. there's a. big there's a. big. all around the globe there's job. goals or not true. the world's finest people building the length.

of the company and leaving. 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 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 litigation 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 it. in terms of foreign policy donald trump has 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 us a status quo power in the asia pacific region. challenging china. i've played for many clubs over the years so i know the game inside out it's. football isn't only about what happens on the pitch for the final school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the superman ija killian erroneous and spending two hundred twenty million and one player. it's an experience like nothing else i want to because i want to share what i think what i know about the beautiful game a great so one more transfer. and thinks this minute. even. as i live the good stuff and.

finally. we have many things in this world this isn't enough for everyone and why some peoples wants to take our thing all the power just for themselves and to see whether.
