5:30 am
people who 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 receiver more blasting and we're going to have to make it into cable this way is a catastrophe in the making and the people getting. 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
5:31 am
collected all their waste in one central location and sort of burying it they decided to burn it they burn everything that you can possibly think of why did it being burned. more. than. two million. why we would burn less human waste. trash. plastics 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
5:32 am
of was thrown in there. and it would dump diesel. days a few. and then lighting that. there was a blue smoke and the haze looked like the san francisco. 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 the. concoction 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 no man. and not.
5:33 am
many one. of them in a gas mask but it was a pretty. clear. mind 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. the haze and the smoke drifted over to where our trailers were and just kind of hung all day all the time twenty four seven right about you know always smell the. plastic bird per buildings or the wood you know blocks mels. where we live.
5:34 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 are people that you're going to get for they call the iraqi crowd everybody gets sick for the first couple of weeks atrocious and for that 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
5:35 am
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 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 brave 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
5:36 am
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 they get exposed to carcinogens which can cause cancer so burning with j.p. eight which is jet fuel low temperature will be says benzene which is a carcinogen. i find it amazing that the military have a regulation for everything you don'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
5:37 am
i don't care because they wanted to keep on funding like i found because they they had they wanted better man 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 were 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. different medications. and i bought excess heat 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 it came down it 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 sinus problems me you know a lot of other guys need to get nasal sprays and stuff to try to alleviate that and
5:38 am
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 way they could so they started writing about it. rather than for the united states military it says open it's 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
5:39 am
and four. i know in. 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 lawlessness and these 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.
5:40 am
rays and pulmonary 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 bringing up different colors some control. and general body weakness just how bad 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 in
5:41 am
conventional testing. for a world cup twenty eighteen coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all such but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be arcs. guys i know you are nervous is a huge tournaments and the huge amount of pressure come out you have to go i mean eighty percent of the football with you and we'll show you all the great game the greatest game you are the rock at the back nobody gets busted you we need you to get the ball going let's go. alone. and i'm really happy for joined out to him for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia the third special was or was also reassure me to just say the reno biagi team's latest edition to make up a bigger certainly better jersey look.
5:42 am
when lawmakers manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes and project themselves. with the final clearing go round lifts only the one percent told. to ignore middle of the room signals. to move even real names to the world. about your sudden passing i've only just learnt you worry yourself in taking your last two bang turn. to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry. so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got
5:43 am
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 more like it was a cave still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly. promised to never see you like it said one does not leave a funeral in the same as one enters your mind it's consumed with death this one difference i speak to you because there are no other takers. to claim that mainstream media has met its maker. what he found was a series of veterans who had a cue lung disease acute being area burst of all. lung injury that he was able to find through long biopsies
5:44 am
what he found with these tiny little holes these terrorists and their long show 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 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 who's a nonsmoker goes over to iraq and afghanistan and congress back with construction broadway this that's really a big concern or we're clearly implicated. in increased incidence of lung disease associated with deployment. video indeed decided they were going to send any more veterans his way anymore. i think dr miller's research and
5:45 am
his study is a perfect example of. 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 there and they still will not even address his research. there were many people in the apartment of finance 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 broader 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 fav that off.
5:46 am
one of. the comments of the burn pits 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 longs so it is aimed while the factorial exposure to the symptoms or anywhere from from respiratory issues some mild to
5:47 am
severe to rare forms of cancers leukemias it's a wide range of symptoms that people are experience in if you really look into it and do the research you can make these symptoms directly to the burn pits my diagnosis is one that started out as you know i'd. sinus plasma sigh 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 tumour 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
5:48 am
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 tonsil got saw him pain. and he would bleed. 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. really really ill. discussion radio. hosts vomiting
5:49 am
feces and everything else and then 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 be a little mackenzie. but as you know beau biden vice president biden's son served in the middle. he served in iraq she was in perfect health surely a free home within nine months he started getting sick he had a brain tumor. and she 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.
5:50 am
but. it just didn't make sense it didn't make sense that my healthy husband 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 gent on who've smoked for a long period of their lives shoot 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 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
5:51 am
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 they. air was dangerous that that they 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 his issues soldiers on the ground had no idea about colonel curtis his findings and his concern us it was never shared with anybody remember which is completely buried. they knew about this and they continue to free can do it. even though would you do that we'll willingly accept the real of being
5:52 am
shot we've. taken prisoner. made numerous signed up to be poisoned by are people. 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 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
5:53 am
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. 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. in 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 set up monitors when
5:54 am
. you may not be attacked 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 stopped 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. big there's a 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 leaving. the waste management responsibilities were part of
5:55 am
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 i. and then 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 litigation 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. joining me every thursday on the alex i'm i'm sure and i was speaking to a guest of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that.
5:56 am
little blog sell you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles for. the new socks for the tell you that every gossip and helpless trials of reporters they. tell you are not full enough and let's fight. the hawks that we all. want. i've been saying the numbers mean something they've mater the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five
5:57 am
hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom bust. los angeles the city of luxury and fame but also an alarming number of people living in the streets. the simple fact in l.a. days there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in it's been a struggle. to get this man found his own response to the problem and constructed dozens of tiny homes for people in need of shelter when you have nothing and nowhere to go. you know having something like this may as well be a castle but do the authorities accept such solution tiny house on
5:58 am
a city parking space is not a solution your craft to have someone monitoring the site otherwise it will be a free for all and is there a better alternative to end the homelessness crisis. you never know what's around the corner never know what's in the. nice that excitement is that now and that. the adrenaline in much comes from. the good news and playing to the machine and the extreme so well for most of. the violence is a part and it's almost a schizophrenia. where you can do all these things and behave like badly.
