New data shows the Met Office's 'record' heat spikes are junk, weaponised by Net Zero activists to scare the public witless and push the no-hydrocarbons fantasy, says the Daily Sceptic's Environment Editor.

Depleted Uranium

category dublin | anti-war / imperialism | event notice author Wednesday June 09, 2004 01:10author by Fairview - Fairview Against the Warauthor email fairviewantiwar at eircom dot net Report this post to the editors

The dangers of depleted uranium munitions and the campaign to eliminate them

There will be a special meeting of Fairview Against the War on depleted uranium
(DU) weapons. The meeting is at Smyth’s Pub, Fairview, on June 9th at 8:30 pm.

The speaker is Henk Van Der Keur from the LAKA foundation in Amsterdam who has been working on DU for 10 years. He will describe the plane crash in Amsterdam in 1992 when an El Al “civilian” cargo jet crashed in to the Bijlmermeer apartment complex in Amsterdam shortly after leaving Schiphol airport. Residents of Bijlmermeer, emergency workers and even those involved in moving the aircraft parts and soil remediation all showed signs of auto-immune disease and radiation poisoning consistent with exposure to Depleted Uranium dust.

This is the end of Henk’s speaking tour and is a rare chance to meet an authority on this important subject.

No, you may be thinking of the Russian father to a schoolchild killed in a midair collision, caused by faulty directions given by an air traffic controller in Switzerland (itself caused by faulty equipment and company breaches of regulations). The Russian stabbed the ATC to death a year later.

In the crash of the Isræli cargo jet, all crew were killed. As far as I remember, the DU was not in the cargo, but was part of the tail structure. Many Boeing (any other?) aircraft used to use DU in part of the tail.
