generators when they should have had burned all this hazardous waste when it was a against the regulations to do so and as a result they're sick all the contracts that k.b.r. unhealed were received require them to comply with e.p.a. regulations the allegation is that k.b.r. rather than complying with the contract complying with these environmental regulations disposing only of what should be disposed of using incinerators doing it the right way for reasons often related to profit margins was disposing of dangerous toxins in a way that directly impacted the health of soviet troops. seeing stuff that was nuclear biological and chemical products this is a do not buy truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks one of the stuff. that should have been segregated out of most mine it

doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out if you're k.b.r. employee and you're throwing. biological medical waste into the. into the burned tires and anything else. that is known to be a toxin. then you're you're careless and you're you're putting people's health in jeopardy and that's exactly would a lot of these k.b.r. contractors were doing. so for me to accept. is if i'm. working for k.b.r. and they have knowledge of. hazardous chemicals on the ground to cause cancer and not fear and i. noticed put in my family and i had every prius that is necessary. i'm. very upset over that. today very very upset.

after i finish appreciating. what they did that. the military exercises regular daily oversight and supervision and periodically issued evaluation reports of k.b.r. performance not just on waste disposal but across all the many functions that k.b.r. performed in the war theaters so the military was aware of what k.b.r. was doing and if they thought that k.b.r. was doing those kind of things then they would have been in a position to make those practices you know change to halt very little government oversight on the love scene of the major personnel in directing the actual work force were kellogg brown and root personnel. i've seen time and time again cave your claim that the reason why they didn't do what they were supposed to was they were allegedly being told to do something or working under the military supervision my experience has been and what i've seen in sworn testimony is that too often our

personnel were more or less directing the military about what was going to be done rather than the right way. when i noted the violations infractions and improper actions. run rude i reported him to management road ports and i was basically told shut up that they would make the decisions about a management decision. the case or rick lambert and what k.b.r. tried to do with him when he tried to expose what was going on and revealed some of the misconduct really points to an attitude that i've seen before or k.b.r. is more concerned about keeping the truth down than fixing the problem. we know from the g.a.o. reports that have come since you no wait two thousand nine two thousand and ten that both the d.o.d. am k.b.r. were. these burn pits within their own regulations they were burning

as are this materials all over iraq and afghanistan you know this not only from the veterans but through the g.a.o. reports g.a.o. also found that many of these bearcats were still operating as late as two thousand and thirteen and this is at least two years after they were told to shut them down or they would have been a lot better off using incinerators incinerators use less. fuel i believe they're more energy efficient and they release less toxins and so that means that any military personnel soldiers and others that are in the area aren't going to be exposed to toxic chemicals toxic fumes that kind of thing to operate the burn pits was much cheaper of them to do to put high temperature and

sewer years cost would have been national and there are. many veterans i've spoken to believe that k.b.r. was merely cutting corners. to save money my understanding is they were given the money to do the incinerator and so it wasn't a budgetary issue this may have been a cheaper way to go this may have been an easier way to go but it certainly wasn't what was best for our soldiers so far in addition to the congressional inspector general investigations that have the documented the misconduct there's been hundreds of decorations sworn statements by former employees military officers documenting how the operation of the burn pits was exposing troops to the worst toxins known to man rather than properly disposing of these things like they promised. easy. either.

he he. he. and i come to find out that blog where i was for about six months was built on a chemical weapons manufacturing and storage facility that we bombed the hell out of during the war and then we went to build a base there with my understanding to bleep it in with new ground samples as what was already in the ground or contaminated and they found that the most severe illnesses were coming from five different bases in iraq these bases used to be former chemical weapons facilities the saddam hussein operated it was actually told to me by a former k.b.r. employee that they knew the ground was hot meaning it was contaminated. flabbergasted inquiry i want to talk about these claims that are being served by

plaintiff's lawyers who effectively are saying we don't agree with the decisions that were made by the military there were we think there were safer ways as we said ten years later five years later we think there were safer ways of disposing of waste and somebody should be accountable for not doing it the way that we think was safer as often suggested and try to wrap themselves in military and all this is about is second guessing military decisions about how to dispose of. waste disposal of waste the problem with that argument that i've seen is that in most cases in fact across the board k.b.r. was wrong in making decisions often concealing what they were doing from the military. and i know it i believe all his illness has been prevented and partly because of years incinerators somewhat far off line if they were to found out. in i mean if they were to really watch it. and we did in the fog of war we did

it and we did in the fog of war we got to fix the mess in the took action to fix it . he didn't. now it turns out there was something else in the contract because all that wasn't good then an indemnity folks so screw anything up they don't have to pay for the bill get stuck on the american taxpayer there would be an indemnification even for negligence on unreasonable acts by k.b. or managers agents employers if they fell within the definition of what is covered even if they caused the injury or death to these. but under the provisions of those clause that is correct even if they cause injury or death to civilian employees. under the provisions of a cause that's correct even if they cause injury or death to the american soldiers . does not and does not carve out an exception for civilian with our soldiers

which means that means that if in fact the activities fall within the definition of a clause thing k.b.r. could could apply for reimbursement that's right even for death or injury to an american soldier that is correct even for death or injury to report a service one. that's correct even death or injury to an iraqi national or other for moral national working on a cave your project. that's correct they were going to get fully reimbursed for every single legal penny they spent as well as any damages found against them and probably one of the biggest bail outs of a government contractor that's been documented so far. indemnification is is absolutely criminal if we have over one hundred thousand soldiers ill it just shows. it's

a good example of you know how much our government really cares about our soldiers are just pawns. they're angry they're far straighted they feel as though they gave . everything they had to the us government say they believe they have had their back when they sent them over to iraq and afghanistan to fight the war they believe when they came back they'd be taking care of. the military the v.a. or are supposed to take care of their veterans. and are supposed to provide good health here and a good transition out of the military and the military and v.a. has failed miserably on doing this and not only want to put issues but you know a lot of mental health issues and everything else there are many people who are working with the v.a. who feel that that studies have either. belated have

been prone to bias in favor of. results that my air or that's having psychosomatic problems instead of physical problems. in july twenty seventh seen on it also attempts to freelance journalist watching was on t.v. a militant shelling in syria. so on and has sacrificed quality has established descended on such a memorial they will recognize will reporters who often risk them so to speak of the truth comes through them these you can submit to your published works in a video or written for those who alone don't auntie don't come into now.

the office of public health conducts large studies of the health of american veterans however if the studies produce results that did not support the office of public health and written policy they don't release them. this applies to data regarding adverse health consequences of environmental exposures such as burn pits in iraq and afghanistan and toxics exposures in the gulf war on the rare occasions when embarrassing study results are released data are manipulated to make them unintelligible so there seems to be an ongoing struggle between the truth seekers and the government when it comes to. sort of getting to the bottom of the exposure and help the fact that veterans are now experiencing.

sure sure the v.a. has been an awful terrible experience for. filing for the claim itself to the v.a. itself to two kids either compensated or to get medical treatment. is going to home. they. are not there to help you are what they say. most of their employees are angry and surly and nasty. they tell like them i don't like going there i always thought that they would have the best care and the realities of it after. down on they me it depends on who you get is it provided with the bureaucracy at the v.a. for me is what has been a nightmare to deal with getting bills from the labs for a thousand two thousand dollars for blood work and staff call in the v.a. tell them i'm keep getting these bills call in the lab company tell the v.a.

supposed to pay these bills and they don't and you're already sick with chemo and radiation all sudden all these bills are coming and nobody's paying them. i mean it's awful i mean right now we're quarter million dollars in debt from cancer. we're bankrupt. and the v.a. still denies my claim that it's not all of this not from exposures. the politicians the congressional people that we saw tell us unforeseen drop us like a hot potato since we made sen. so we have no resolution right now the v.a. still demand our cases we have attorneys for sure we don't have any money to pay oh they're working on continuously burgess were were you are we're you know i'm just hopeful that we'll make it till. enough time to pass i can make what they call a ten year golden rule on the v.a. system itself means that the best way for ten years my family gets no benefits if i pass away after ten years. but there if it's was or i think the v.a.

should take more. be more responsible with these guys because they have already put their lives on the line for us why would we. not give them the proper medical attention that they need why give them an appointment three months out and then. send it you know prolong it even more to maybe. eight months nine months a year and then even fighting for their benefits if they don't. then book person twelve months of them coming back and he doesn't get a diagnosis forget it they're screwed because they don't see it that it's service related service connected the burden of proof is on the veteran they have to be able to service connected it doesn't matter whether you have it or not of the condition can happen during the day you enter to the left that's the big

window that you have to fight. iraq afghanistan war injury is our generation's agent orange. if you look at the historical precedents with agent orange for decades it was knowledge and then after decades it was studied and then finally soldiers were treated. so to go with the iraq afghanistan war long and we can't wait that long poor the pits to get recognized and not the phase that the guys are in the females are dying from the burn pits it's a lot faster the illnesses are showing up in the symptoms a lot sooner he put in his time he sacrificed he gave everything that it was possible to get and. a little proud of that and we don't regret that and he does now. and we would serve

again our sons have enlisted so it's not a service that's a problem and then things happen in war and we understand that there's a cost and and we will carry with that because there are some things that are worth the cost but the other side of that is that at the end of it they take care of you and every single time there's a war we do this some good do you know with the government where they say no no it was in us no it wasn't that it's just you it's you know i don't know what it was it's just the look and it's not every single time and when is it the last time when is it that they just say ok. this is was it and you did your part let a steward's one does that time come where you're not fighting afterwards the fight should be done i don't see no way at this because with the agent orange the

vietnam veteran still suffering still fighting to be recognized the top of that gulf war veterans fighting to be recognized now you're adding another million or so iraq and afghanistan veterans fighting to be recognized that's two generations at least of the men and women who are sick. and they have overwhelmed a v.a. system that was not prepared to handle that to compensate every. soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about their exposure illnesses from their exposure from the burn pits we would bring would bring literally some to be broke and. they don't want to pay it so the way to the deck you. it's

a lot of those soldiers will die in time. and they won't have to pay and. call for help and. get the middle finger. to be used to model is. delayed and i hope. the veterans that i speak to are all for that and their bewilder some of them are so sick that they don't know if their wake up in the morning and i'm not exaggerating every year is something new every year is something that's taken away from the quality of life that he has and that we have as a family. there are. many in union. in that i would can just walk into a restaurant and down and he will have

a meal. because he is sitting there trying to. keep him sound busy on his home in time or uncomfortable for. the simple things that. we take for granted. that he doesn't have. our heart. what. what would what is our future going to be like what does it hold. it's just going to get worse. i'd like to think if you choose blight. but that's my optimistic guy trying to i think all change one myself because if i read a bad disease that i. it just gets progressively worse.

so i don't know i mean maybe i get a miracle when god heals me and my wife is wonderful and she and the truck on like nothing's ever let up in. the right now it's too much take care of my husband take care of every other. woman's has spend and. man's wife who sort who did their duty because they believed in it because they believed that it was the right thing to do and. that's all we're asking. there's absolutely a moral obligation to fix it when these veterans come home and they're saying no matter what their sect problem we have an obligation as the american public to take care of these men and women who are sacrifice themselves for us i. i hope that. this will have an ending where they jump on this and really

story. aggressively treating the soldiers at the v.a. and but i don't see this ending well at all. as it's going to be gloom and do. you think he's going to. get everything you can ask for a long time. no wonder. he . ricky your fight is going to continue on. we're going to. take what you hear. and what you're. or. form to

the president of the united states. so that it helps others. oh for. the i. am.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they've matter the u.s. is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten like her current stamping each dish. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be old for rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five

hundred trees per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one business show you can afford to miss the one in only. 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. he's there's just not enough shelter even if people on the streets right now decided to come in there's nowhere to come in and 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. me house on a city parking space is not a solution your craft to have someone wanted touring 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. corner you never know what's in the pub you can walk into and is that excitement is that not knowing that's where the adrenalin much comes from. and you can use a move by definition in the extreme so will support. the violence is a part and it's almost a schizophrenia gang culture where you can do all these things and behave badly.

they're going to be full of horse colorful all possible schools more so for the last. honest man and firm on money wall policy in the start. of a broader where no five figure out really did a poll down down went up with. meaning reason is that at least if you don't involve this constantly evolving the.
