"World Trade Center cough."
Fire union officials said thou-
sands of New York firefighters
have been affected to a degr~e
that gets in the way of their jobs.
They said some may be forced to
retire and others may go out on
disability.
But Kim Zagaris, chief of the
California Office of Emergency
Services' Fire and Rescue
branch, said enough people are
reporting respiratory problems
that they are investigating the ail-
ment.

DANGER: REVENGE AND RADIOACTIVE EXPOSURE FROM DEPLETED URANIUM IN WORLD
TRADE CENTER FIRE
The path to wrath is injustice at intolerable levels and this is your country. Act like
you own this country because in the end, you will be the ones held accountable for its
conduct. It appears that message came in all too clear when the World Trade Center was
reduced to burning rubble. I suggest, before we become hell bent on revenge, we need to
ask this question. Were those attacks a legitimate response to the conduct of this
government and the global economic powers headquartered at the World Trade Center? Those
attacks were obviously a retaliatory strike. We need to find out what this government did
to piss off these people and whether the attack on the World Trade Center was a cold dish
of street justice that was long overdue.
The last time this government sent American troops in mass to a major conflict was
approximately 10 years ago in Desert Storm. This government created a radioactive
battlefield from depleted uranium rounds that has made over 130,000 of our Veterans gravely
ill and killed over 30,000 of them. Several VA studies of children born from Gulf War
Veterans reveal severe birth defects in those children exceeding 60%. I do not want this
piece of shit government to put our armed forces or another country in that situation
again. That radioactive battlefield WE CREATED will continue to kill Iraqi citizens
(civilians) for thousands of years. The death toll of Iraqi children to radiation from
Depleted Uranium munitions exceeds ten fold the casualties at the World Trade Center.
That fact alone should raise serious questions on whether or not our outrage is legitimate
OR POINTED IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
THIS IS IMPORTANT. One construction componentforthese airliners is depleted uranium.
It is used in the wings as stablizers. Depleted uramium (DU) is pyrophoric and up to 80%
of it will vaporize when it ignites. Those vaporized particles are toxic and radioactive.
Each plane had more that 800 pounds of DU in those wings and those vaporized particles
will create a higher death toll than the destruction of the trade center. What I'm
telling you is this. Those people working in the rubble need to be in Hazmat suits.
THE RADIOACTIVE DUST IS GOING TO KILL ALOT OF THOSE PEOPLE WORKING IN THAT SHIT.
YOU ALSO NEED TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH DU (DEPLETED URAMIUM) WENT INTO THE
CONSTRUCTION OF THOSE BUILDINGS BECAUSE THAT FIRE WAS HOT ENOUGH TO
IGNITE IT. YOUR CITY IS GOING TO LEARN JUST HOW DANGEROUS A RADIOACTIVE
BATTLEFIELD CAN BE. One call to the EPA will confirm this risk assessment.
Sincerely,
Jay Lindberg
PS. If you are wondering why the government or the media has not notified the city of this
danger, the answer is obvious. They have a vested interest in the status quo and they
can't let that rat out of the bag.
