22. 'Friendly Fire' -- Gary Null's documentary about Gulf War Syndrome...
Edited on Sat Aug-12-06 06:11 PM by veness
'Friendly Fire' Review:

One of the worst culprits misusing science is of course the military. It is bad enough what havoc modern weaponry wreaks on the target, but the soldiers hardly escape unscathed. In Vietnam it was just Agent Orange poisoning. Gulf War syndrome makes that look like a picnic. The military has a long history of experimenting on soldiers, and it appears their vain attempts to inoculate against weapons sent to Iraq from USA to fight Iran, such as botulism, anthrax, nerve agents, had nasty side effects on soldiers who never made it to Iraq. Depleted uranium is a euphemism for the stable isotope, since it is no good for fission bombs, but fine for dirty bombs. Nuclear waste is far more potent than DU in that sense. Military experts have the nerve to say DU is not toxic. It does take nearly the age of the earth for half to break down, so the rate of emission is slower than any other radioactive element. This does not make it safe by any means, especially if inhaled.

That was the state of my knowledge before I saw the LA premiere of the latest Gary Null documentary, Friendly Fire. Perhaps you think you know everything about this syndrome. I did, but by the end I was so angry it took me a long time before I could speak. The man is an innovative genius, and a straight shooter. This is a rare combination, in my estimation, and his documentaries have impact, not just on me.

With a news blackout preserving the coverup the movie blows out of the water, it may never make it out. The trailer can be seen at friendlyfirethemovie.com or garynull.com. See this movie, if it ever gets out - there is plenty more disclosed to make anyone mad than just the coverup. To see these insane experiments in action was quite a different experience than just knowing a little about the long sordid history.
