Where Do The Children Play?
I mean no disrespect to these little babies, the youngest casualties of the proxy war in Yemen, but they look as if they are players in a horror show or science experiment. And indeed they are since many of the birth defects currently being seen in Yemen have never existed before now.
Yemen has recently entered it’s 3rd year of blockades, utilities sabotage, starvation and bombings, all courtesy of the Saudi led coalition that includes (directly active or as support):
UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, Senegal, Sudan, Turkey & China
The U.S. (bombs and other ordnance, naval blockades, Saudi pilot training, mid-air refueling, control room monitoring and strategizing, and the recent multi-billion dollar weapons deal)
The U.K. (intelligence, weapons, bombs and other ordnance and naval blockades)
Australia (arms sales)
Canada (armored vehicles)
I’ve heard it said that war is good for the economy. Apparently so, because we are talking multi-multi-BILLIONS of dollars in world-wide sales. There’s the blood money.
Prior to this war, Sanaa was able to separate out the most dangerous materials from a 10-million-ton hill of refuse thanks to a nearby treatment plant. Unfortunately, the coalition saw fit to bomb and destroy this necessary utility. Vast stinking pools created in part by untreated medical waste began to accumulate at the pile's base.
When the pools of contaminated waste were tested it was found they contained hazardous chemicals, as well as biohazards, that could cause a variety of diseases including cancers, birth defects, immunological disorders and many other diseases. We're talking infectious, pathological, toxic, genotoxic & radioactive materials, harmful microorganisms, pharmaceuticals, solvents used for laboratory preparations, disinfectants, and heavy metals contained in medical devices (mercury in broken thermometers for example) and batteries.
The same thing happened, to a much lesser extent, in the Iraqi cities of Fallujah and Basra after the 1990 Gulf War and the 2004 Iraq War. There, the birth defect rate rose to an extraordinary 60% which was attributed to chemical carrying bombs.
Action was taken against the US to answer for these atrocious deformities by Iraqi advocates filing complaints. The US never denied culpability, saying only that the Iraqis had missed their "3 month window of opportunity" for the charges to even be considered.
Though not pin-pointed, likely causes considered include a hellish mixture of nano-particularized heavy metals and other toxins (phosphorous, depleted uranium) generated by the US military occupation and heavy bombardment of hot spot Iraqi cities.
The same thing happened, to a lesser extent, in East Ghouta, Syria in 2014 after exposure to poisonous gas.
So, what exactly is in the bombs we supply to Saudi Arabia in addition to depleted uranium? Only God (and the Pentagon) knows.
I have done considerable research and have consulted with my Yemeni friends regarding the correlation between birth defects and the incredibly large & destructive bomb that was dropped on Sana’a 2 years ago. I want to look into this further. It seems to possibly be more than mere coincidence.
Some say it was a neutron bomb, others say it was thermobaric or vacuum. If it were either neutron or thermobaric (both use some form of uranium for ignition) the bomb may have contributed to this spate of birth defects. The timing between these 2 events mirrors what happened in Basra, Fallujah and East Ghouta, and may be more than a fluke.
I’ve been pounding, and will continue pounding, on this issue until we all wake up and do something to stop these atrocities & end this genocide .
