Sent directly to Girl Scout Council of Hawaii, Aloha Council Boy Scouts of America, and Girl Scouts of The United States of America, and International Girl Scouts, with witnesses in cc.
Now I am sending it to you… THE MEDIA, and The GOVERNMENT
I, Lisa Long (as a Girl Scout Leader and concerned American citizen), have provided to "Girl Scout Council of Hawaii" lengthy and detailed accounts of facts regarding Depleted Uranium (DU) and its hazards, including but not limited to:
Depleted Uranium's real dangers admitted by the Army including Official Military training guides and videos;
Photographic, newspaper, video and testimony evidence from around the world of Depleted Uranium horrors to people and the environment;
Evidence DU travels for miles in the air; transcript and video links to Hawaii News Station KITV 4 broadcast of high radiation readings on the Big Island of Hawaii April 22, 2007 and information this radiation is likely emanating from Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA);
Links to newspaper stories in the Honolulu Advertiser including one where a U.S. Army spokesman admitted the use of DU at Schofield Barracks and the possible use of it at Pohakuloa Training Area on the Big Island and this same official at the Pentagon stated they will conduct radiological testing this summer for that dangerous contamination at Schofield, Makua Military Reservation and Pohakuloa Training Area on the Big Island;
The potential of PTA being a SuperFund site and lists of SuperFund sites and links to information, including "The 2004 Defense Environmental Restoration Program report to Congress listed 798 military contamination sites at 108 installations in Hawai'i, 96 of which were contaminated with unexploded ordnance, seven of the military contamination sites were considered "Superfund" sites. These sites have not been cleaned up.";
The Hawaii State Bill HB1452 (to test for Depleted Uranium) and its references;
Links to rising cancer, diabetes, autism, birth defects data in Hawaii, down wind from military installations;
Reference to the Groves Memorandum, a declassified Army memo of the deadly effects of radioactive weaponry that clearly recommended its development as a "poison gas warfare weapon";
Other declassified military documentation where the military has been proven to be intentionally misrepresenting its actions in Hawaii and around the world, especially where citizen and solider health is concerned, including its pervasive pollution of Hawaii's scared peoples, lands and oceans with conventional, biological and chemical warfare agents (Project Shad, Project 112, Wai'anae Coast, Kaho'olawe, Pearl Harbor).
This information has been acknowledged, in writing, that it was received by Girl Scout Council of Hawaii.
The acknowledgment of the serious dangers of any likely contamination of Pohakuloa Training Area with Depleted Uranium, has been avoided by Girl Scout Council of Hawaii's use of alleged noncompliance with their policies and procedures, and that has served as a strategic means for their corporate avoidance in addressing the real issues in falling to protect the children in their care from these risks as a by product of pursuit of their corporate image and public relations strategies and policies.
Therefore, let it be known that "Girl Scout Council of Hawaii" has been informed and have knowingly, willingly, intentionally and intelligently exposed the children of Hawaii (up to 35 Scouts and their Leaders) to the potential dangers and hazards of DU on June 8, 2007, as reference by West Hawaii Today, June 9, 2007, ON BASE AND ON TARGET, front page story.
Similar information was also provided by me to: Aloha Council, Boy Scouts of America and Girl Scouts of The United States of America; West Hawaii Today, Honolulu Star Bulletin, Honolulu Advertiser, KHON2, KHNL, KITV, KGMB9, The Hawaii Channel, CNN, FOX News, ABC, CBS News, NBC, NBC News, MSNBC, USA TODAY, NY TIMES, PBS, BBC, News-Week, Globe, LA TIMES and hundreds of other news organizations; Governor Lingle and 107 Senators and Representatives of Hawaii and the United States. (depleted uranium MUTATES unwilling infant. -- longshot the x-boi)
As a result I, Lisa Long, hold you, "Girl Scout Council of Hawaii" accountable and responsible for any harm and injury that your negligence and total lack of leadership has imposed upon these innocents, our children of Hawaii.
I also hold these listed and other news organizations and Hawaii and Federal governmental representatives responsible for all injuries to all the citizens of Hawaii and the world for NOT reporting on the known and admitted hazards of Depleted Uranium and the pervasiveness of its use and its devastating environmental contamination worldwide.
In addition, I fully hold the Armed Forces and President Bush and Vice President Cheney, liable and treasonable for permitting, condoning, and suppressing this offense to our people and the people of the world.

The Real Concern -
Boy and Girl Scouts Day - Pohakuloa Training Area
Friday, June 8, 2007 9:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m.
——–
In the past month on the Big Island a very high radiation air reading was
detected in South Kona. We now have news that the army is admitting the
Big Island may be contaminated.
http://the.honoluluadvertiser.com/article/2007/May/11/ln/FP705110374.html
This admission comes after KITV reported undeniably high readings taken in
Kona with the astute assistance of Leuren Moret, international consultant
in this field.

US Army uses Boy and Girl Scouts in PsyOps Exercise in Hawaii - potentially exposing them to Depleted Uranium Hazard (DU)
Lt. Col. Kim Rapaczy, (aka Hawaii Girl Scout Leader) invited the Scouts and their leaders onto Pohakuloa Training Area (PTA) in a public relations stunt before the Army or the State have tested the base for DU, and after Hawaii Girl Scout Leader, Lisa Long's repeated warnings and copious amounts of supplied scientific data, for months, directed to the Girl Scout Council of Hawaii and local and national media, state and national representatives, of the potential danger lurking in the dust, soil, water and air at Pohakuloa (located next to a Girl Scout Camp) as well as the dangers DU poses in other places around the world.
As others also warned the Girl Scout Leadership, Hawaii Media, Governor Lingle, and their State and Local Representatives and as a bill for testing for DU contamination (HB 1452) worked its way thru the Hawaii Legislature and then sat uselessly with no funding, there was scant attention paid in the media, and except for two articles by William Cole, Honolulu Advertiser Military Writer, a KITV report by Dick Allgire and Maui News, and a few small independent Hawaii Journals, the rest of Hawaii's media was conspicuous by their continued silence.
As the date approached for the Scouts excursion to Pohakuloa, Hawaii Girl Scout Leader, Lisa Long worked urgently to gain responsible attention to the issue reaching out to over 1400 people on her almost daily list mail including almost all the Hawaii News Stations, Newspaper, and the national media, including CNN, ABC, CBS, FOX New, and others, to prevent the children of Hawaii from being potentially exposed to any dangers and to warn the Girl Scout Council of Hawaii they were opening themselves up to legal trouble if they ignored the warnings and the danger did indeed exist. Lisa Long urged them to wait until all the testing was completed by the Army and the State of Hawaii before they visited the PTA Military base. She also again warned the Aloha Council Boy Scouts of America, and the Girl Scouts of the United States of America the night before the event in a desperate attempt to get it cancelled.
For this proactive action Hawaii Girl Scout Leader Lisa Long, a former Service Unit Delegate and Voting Member of the Council, with ten years experience in Girl Scouts, was dismissed by Girl Scout Council of Hawaii, and told not to identity herself with them anymore as of June 8, 2007 (the day the Scouts were to visit the base). The reasons given were that she had repeatedly violated their communications policies and procedures. No mention was ever made by them nor any agreement expressed to Ms. Long about any urgency toward the protection and safety of the Scouts from potential exposure to the effects of Depleted Uranium. In fact, this was repeatedly referred back to Ms. Long as "her concerns" (. . . but not theirs) they never directly referred to the Girl Scout Camp (and its close location next to the base), the Boy and Girl Scout excursion directly into the Pohakuloa Training Area, and their communications director even refused to answer in the affirmative or the negative, whether the Pohakuloa trip was cancelled or still proceeding as Girl Scouts had planned. Ms. Long had to learn the day after she was dismissed from Hawaii Girl Scouts, that indeed the trip had taken place, as scheduled, the day before, by reading the front page of her local newspaper, West Hawaii Today.
She, and other activists and scientists around the country are outraged at the intentional disregard for their warnings to the media, and the Hawaii Girl Scouts, and are wondering just what the Army was doing inviting children to their base, especially when they had admitted Depleted Uranium was found at Schofeild Barracks, on Oahu, (after it was independently discovered) and they also admitted they were not sure whether DU was used at Pohakuloa on the Big Island. They couldn't say for certain until after they completed testing for Depleted Uranium contamination with sensitive radiation detectors, in addition to taking soil and water samples for laboratory analysis as required, later this summer.
But first, on June 8, 2007, as referenced by the article and photo below, they let the Boy and Girl Scouts, some as young as Cub Scouts (7 to 10 years old), sift thru that same untested soil and play with that same, untested water, prior to the Army's official testing, which wouldn't happen until this summer. And according to the Army's own documents, children are especially vulnerable to Depleted Uranium hazards.
West Hawaii Today, the local newspaper on the west side of the Big Island, was fully informed of Ms. Longs and many other activists concerns about Depleted Uranium, months and months prior to the Scouts' visit and yet, they were totally silent on the potential risks to the children in their community and most of the activists' letters, went unpublished. This type of silence is so clearly reflected in their article below. When it comes time to pump the military up, it is front page news. . . other than that, too bad for the children and the people of Hawaii.
Shame on them.. shame on you all.

A cult is unquestioning in its commitment to a leader just as the GOP rank and file were unquestioning in their support of George W. Bush. Indeed, there were numerous billboards, presumably paid for by local GOP groups, which proclaimed Bush "Our Leader" or "The Leader". In another language that is "Der Führer".

"Wars will never end until the power of love is greater than the love of power".

Our progressive journalists and congressmen could always have time to catch their breath by merely regularly reminding the public over and over again of MLK Jr.' unanswerable condemnation, "My government is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today."

Depleted Uranium-Related Birth ...

your whole conspiracy is coming smashing downaround your ears.
i and many other rational and ACTUALLY compassionate americans
are glad. a little late for some.

COINTELPRO, Operation Overcast, MKULTRA, all your GOP lies...
all exposed. Tyrants. Liars. Predators. Perverts. The worst sorts
of leaders. Greedy almost heartless Republicans. How can anyone HUMAN
be proud of what has happened in Iraq -- to say little of the rising American
soldier death count -- this is the sort of weak cowardly warfighting that
could create enemies in twenty or thirty years -- when these pathetic mutants are adults and want to be angry at the people who disfigured them with nuclear power. These, right here, these babies mutated by radioactive attacks courtesy of the Bush Administration -- these are the Children of the Atom. you're proud? PROUD? you'l have to ignore it with typical elitist GOP arrogance.

A wave of intelligent and justice loving DEMOCRATIC Americans will wake up and put your sort of politicking out of commission really soon, while you chant BULLSHIT like a load of denial-addicted hypnotists. You need your NOSES RUBBED IN THE FACTS -- this sort of warfighting is the actions of true prejudice -- evil insanity. Those babies didn't have a CHANCE to learn how to hate America. But Bush's ignorant wasteful stupidity and overt PREJUDICE has given them reason. Some things CAN be done -- but you GOP types -0- do you have any skills when it really comes down to CASES aside from coverup and denial?

shame on you. This is Anglofascist GUILT trying to justify its terrible lack of domestic agenda with more wars. Look at these CHILDREN who were UTTERLY incapable of fighting back.



JESUS loves these little children.

World Prout Assembly: Effects of Depleted Uranium

September 6, 2006 - Depleted uranium, known as DU, is a highly dense metal that is the byproduct of the process during which fissionable uranium used to manufacture nuclear bombs and reactor fuel is separated from natural uranium. DU remains radioactive for about 4.5 billion years.

Depleted Uranium Keeps On Killing

List of Articles
Depleted uranium is the war crime of the late 20th and early 21st century.
That "tank-busting," "armor-piercing" artillery carried by "A-10 Warthogs" in Iraq and Yugoslavia was made of Depleted Uranium. It leaves radioactive particles in the air, water, soil, and food chain. These tasteless, invisible particles, if ingested and absorbed into your body's tissues, quietly kill.
There are scientists and doctors who believe that at least some of the "Gulf War Syndrome" symptoms suffered by veterans and their offspring were caused by radioactive debris and dust from "tank-busting" Depleted Uranium artillery used during the 1991 Iraq war. Eleven years later, DU shell holes in the vehicles along the "Highway of Death" were 1,000 times more radioactive than background radiation. Shortly after the bombing stopped in Iraq War Round II, it was estimated that four times more Depleted Uranium was used than in the first Gulf War. Scientists around the world sounded an alarm, in part because of the evidence of severe birth defects from prior usage.
The U.S. military website for Aberdeen Proving Grounds describes Depleted Uranium as radioactive, toxic, and of concern for the environment. Yet the United States government has been allowing the sale of these weapons to NATO and six other countries (according to the Washington Post, and at least 17 countries already have them, the Christian Science Monitor reports)!
