“Hold on to what is good, even if it’s a handful of earth. Hold on to what you believe, even if it’s a tree that stands by itself. Hold on to what you must do, even if it’s a long way from here. Hold on to your life, even if it’s easier to let go. Hold on to my hand, even if someday I’ll be gone away from you.” ~A Pueblo Indian Prayer

Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar (Persian: آقامحمدخان قاجار, romanized: Âqâ Mohammad Xân-e Qâjâr; 14 March 1742 – 17 June 1797), also known by his regnal name of Agha Mohammad Shah (آقا محمد شاه, Âghâ Mohammad Šâh), was the founder of the Qajar dynasty of Iran, ruling from 1789 to 1797 as Shah.
Originally a chieftain of the Quwanlu branch of the Qajar tribe, Agha Mohammad Khan was enthroned as the king of Iran in 1789, but was not officially crowned until March 1796, having deposed Lotf Ali Khan of the Zand dynasty in 1794.
Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar was famously the eunuch Monarch, being castrated as a toddler upon his capture by Adel Shah Afshar, and hence was childless. He was assassinated on 17 June 1797, and was succeeded by his nephew, Fath-Ali Shah Qajar.
The Home for Little Wanderers is a private non-profit child and family service agency in Massachusetts, US. Founded as an orphanage in 1799, it is the oldest agency of its kind in the US. Today, the home plays a role in delivering services to thousands of children and families each year through a system of residential, community-based and prevention programs, direct care services and advocacy.
In 1808, a free-standing medical facility was built nearby for the humane treatment of the mentally ill, and in 1821 a larger facility called the Bloomingdale Asylum was built in what is now the Upper West Side.
Around 1830, the number of homeless children in large Eastern cities such as New York City exploded. In 1850, there were an estimated 10,000 to 30,000 homeless children in New York City. At the time, New York City’s population was only 500,000. Some children were orphaned when their parents died in epidemics of typhoid, yellow fever or the flu. Others were abandoned due to poverty, illness, or addiction. Many children sold matches, rags, or newspapers to survive. For protection against street violence, they banded together and formed gangs.
Most historians credit newspaper editor John O’Sullivan with coining the term manifest destiny in 1845. However, other historians suggest the unsigned editorial titled “Annexation” in which it first appeared was written by journalist and annexation advocate Jane Cazneau.
Circassian immigration into the Ottoman Empire began in 1850 and accelerated into a mass migration starting in 1864. There was an earlier Circassian presence in the Middle East, through the Mamluk “slave-dynasties” in Egypt, whose descendants, augmented by continued individual migration, came to form a Turco-Circassian elite ruling class in Egypt. This presence, although an entirely different phenomenon than the later mass migrations, points to important historical links between the Caucasus and various regional empires to which it provided slaves (both men and women) and warriors.
In 1853, a young minister named Charles Loring Brace became concerned with the plight of street children (often known as “street Arabs”).
The orphan trains operated between 1854 and 1929, relocating from about 200,000 children. The co-founders of the Orphan Train movement claimed that these children were orphaned, abandoned.
The earliest known use of the phrase “Jim Crow law” can be dated to 1884 in a newspaper article summarizing congressional debate.[14] The term appears in 1892 in the title of a New York Times article about Louisiana requiring segregated railroad cars.
The origin of the phrase “Jim Crow” has often been attributed to “Jump Jim Crow“, a song-and-dance caricature of black people performed by white actor Thomas D. Rice in blackface, first performed in 1828. As a result of Rice’s fame, Jim Crow had become by 1838 a pejorative expression meaning “Negro”.
When southern legislatures passed laws of racial segregation directed against African Americans at the end of the 19th century, these statutes became known as Jim Crow laws
The American Civil War (April 12, 1861 – May 26, 1865; also known by other names) was a civil war in the United States between the Union (“the North”)…
The Children’s Aid Society’s sent an average of 3,000 children via train each year from 1855 to 1875. Orphan trains were sent to 45 states, as well as Canada and Mexico. During the early years, Indiana received the largest number of children.[6] At the beginning of the Children’s Aid Society orphan train program, children were not sent to the southern states, as Brace was an ardent abolitionist.[12]
By the 1870s, the New York Foundling Hospital and the New England Home for Little Wanderers in Boston had orphan train programs of their own.
Following the mass expulsion of the native Circassians of the northwest Caucasus in 1864, some of them also migrated to Qajar Iran, where some of these deportees from after 1864 rose to various high ranks
The Foundling Hospital sent infants and toddlers to prearranged Roman Catholic homes from 1875 to 1914.
Parishioners in the destination regions were asked to accept children, and parish priests provided applications to approved families. This practice was first known as the “Baby Train,” then later the “Mercy Train.” By the 1910s, 1,000 children a year were placed with new families.
A large number of Circassians began arriving in the Levant in the 1860s and 1870
Because ‘white’ has always been a fluid definition and, for census purposes, tanned Mediterranean Christians from countries like Lebanon and Egypt have been considered “white” for a while now so the definition was expanded to encompass neighboring countries.
Because they are. I live in an area with many Orthodox Christian people whose ancestors are from Syria/Lebanon/Palestine, etc. I also know several first-generation immigrants from the same area who are of the Islam religion. They are racially indistinguishable from Europeans, and certainly you cannot “tell” they are not defended from people from places like Italy or Greece.
And most of these people are highly offended when someone suggests they are not white, both the Christians and the Muslims. Jesus is not described in the Bible, but the Koran specifically says Mohammad, who was an Arab, was “white”.
Until 1952, whiteness was a legal category. If you were not white, you could not become a naturalized citizen of the USA, you could only be one by birth. Arab peoples were able to gain acceptance as white people, and therefore could become citizens. In Dow v US, a Syrian was able to claim status as a white person, and so MENA peoples are today considered white legally.
The United States census is a constitutionally mandated event that takes place every ten years. It has a rich history, but there have been some notable issues and controversies associated with specific census years:
In 1896—only 6 years after the census—a fire damaged many 1890 special schedules, including those pertaining to mortality, “Crime, Pauperism, and Benevolence,” and “the Insane, Feeble-Minded, Deaf and Dumb, and Blind.” The damaged records were destroyed. Years passed, and 3 additional U.S. censuses were taken: 1900, 1910 and 1920.
The Circassians (also known as Cherkess or Adyghe) are a Northwest Caucasian ethnic group and nation. Their origins lie in Circassia, a region that once occupied the northwestern part of the Caucasus. Here’s a glimpse into their history:
Ancient Times:
Although no Greek colonies were established directly in Circassia, the Greeks engaged in extensive trade along the Circassian coast of the Black Sea. Their influence on the region is evident1.
The Circassian region experienced successive influences or outright control by various powers:
Romans
Khazars
Mongols
Crimean Tatars
Turks
Russians
The area remained autonomous until the 12th and 13th centuries when Georgian princes reduced it to a province.
During the mid-16th century and later in the 17th century, Caucasian rulers sought Russian assistance against Persian and Turkish invasions.
By 1785, the northern Caucasus had become a Russian province.
Circassian Genocide and Diaspora:
In the 19th century, during the Russo-Circassian War, the Russian Empire perpetrated the Circassian genocide. As a result, most Circassians were exiled from their ancestral homeland.
They began living in what was then the Ottoman Empire (modern-day Turkey and the Middle East).
The United States also recognizes the broader notion of ethnicity. The 2000 census and 2010 American Community Survey inquired about the “ancestry” of residents, while the 2020 census allowed people to enter their “origins”. The Census Bureau also classified respondents as either Hispanic or Latino, identifying as an ethnicity, which comprises the minority group in the nation.
Are Census numbers accurate?
The Census undercounts low-income people, children and minorities. But the Census is still one of the most important sources for data when you want to convince a funder about the need for your nonprofit’s services.
Nov. 26, 2001 | The U.S. Census counted 281,000,000 people in 2000. To accomplish this huge task, the Census hired some 860,000 temporary workers and spent more than $6 billion (about $18 per person in the US) in total.
Despite their best efforts, the Census Bureau estimates that the 2000 Census missed 6.4 million people.
Although this is a relatively small number of people (only 2% of the population), most of those not counted are minorities, children, and low-income people. There are many reasons why people might not get counted in the Census, including: privacy concerns, homelessness, low literacy levels and not enough time to fill out the forms.
The Census also estimates that they counted 3.1 million people twice. Most of these people were white and affluent. One reason for them being counted twice is that they may have received two Census forms to fill out because they own two homes.
At the end of the day, it appears a lot of people want to be someone else for the fame or cash. We are who we are, nothing was wrong in the first place, we let race and cash divide us.

What Were the Major U.S. Immigration Ports?
Virtually all immigrants during the 19th and 20th centuries arrived in America through one of 8 major ports.
New York: Castle Garden, New York’s first official immigration station, was established in 1855. The famed Ellis Island would eventually take over New York immigration in 1892.
Boston: Boston immigration started off slowly, but it picked up speed with the Irish potato famine. Subsidized immigration appealed to many suffering because of the famine, and many stayed in Boston with no means of traveling further.
Philadelphia: Ironically, most immigrants that settled in Philadelphia didn’t arrive through Philadelphia’s port of entry. Most that settled there came from the New York port of entry, located just 90 miles away.
Baltimore: Locust Point became an official port of entry in 1706, but it wasn’t until 1868 that the immigration pier was built in preparation to connect the port of entry to the B&O Railroad.
San Francisco: As the largest port on the western coast, San Francisco’s Angel Island was nicknamed the Ellis Island of the west , despite seeing far fewer immigrants pass through it than the actual Ellis Island.
Charleston: Charleston became a port of entry in 1682, but the port was better known as a hub for trade in the south.
New Orleans: Immigration through New Orleans peaked in the early 1800s, processing over 550,000 immigrants in that time. However, the Civil War blocked immigration through New Orleans, and it never picked up again.
Galveston: Between 1865 and 1924, about 200,000 immigrants came through Galveston to enter the United States. The immigration station in Galveston was officially established in 1906, only a few years after a hurricane devastated the area. Between 1906 and 1914, another 50,000 immigrations came to the U.S. through this Texas port of entry.
Which U.S. Immigration Ports Saw the Largest Number of Immigrants?
A vast majority of immigrants passed through New York as they arrived in America. Ellis Island was the leading U.S. immigration port with over 12,000,000 immigrants passing through. Castle Garden—New York City’s immigration port before Ellis Island was established—saw over 8,000,000 immigrants in its lifespan.
How Can I Find My Ancestors with Immigration Records?
When you’re looking for your ancestors, knowing your way around genealogy records can make a world of difference. Understanding immigration records is particularly impactful, as they can open the doors to finding your family before they came to the US. You can often find an individual’s name, important dates, hometown, occupation, sometimes the names of family members traveling with the individual, and other helpful clues to finding your family’s origins.
Check out our U.S. Immigration Record Research Guide to get you started on your journey. It provides all the information you need, with helpful tips for understanding and finding different types of immigration records.
A Few Helpful Tips
Early immigration records were handwritten, so they could sometimes be difficult to read. Try searching alternative spellings for family names in case they were incorrectly recorded when digitized.
Pinpoint a time frame before looking for immigration records. U.S. census records, death records, and obituaries can all give you an idea of when your ancestors arrived in the US. For examples, the 1900 U.S. Census started recording immigration years, and some naturalization records may contain immigration dates and ship names that immigrants arrived on. Once you have a specific year or time frame, you can search various immigration ports that match the dates you have.
It can also be helpful to start by searching ports nearest where your ancestors settled. If the nearest immigration ports do not have records, try starting with the most-used ports. New York, Boston, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Charleston, and San Francisco processed the most immigrants.

1976 USA Mass Vaccination Campaign Swine Flu *Fauci Pigs and Bats *Creating & Selling Death and Vaccines.
Jul 07, 2023
H1N1 Called Swine Flu *A Boy In Mexico Discovered It. Guillain-Barre problem in 1976 Time And Quantum Theory
It began at a US Army training base in New Jersey. In February 1976, several soldiers at Fort Dix fell ill with a previously unrecognized swine flu. None had been in contact with pigs, so human transmission was assumed. Testing revealed that the virus had spread to more than 200 recruits.
Urgent decisions were needed. Public health officials realized it might be possible to get a vaccine to the public by the end of the year if they acted fast. The pharmaceutical industry had just finished manufacturing vaccines for the normal flu seasons.
In March, President Ford announced a $137m (£67.5m in 1976) effort to produce a vaccine by the autumn. “Its goal was to immunize every man, woman and child in the US, and thus was the largest and most ambitious immunization program ever undertaken in the United States,” wrote Imperato in a 2015 paper reflecting on the events.

Are we stupid?
After outbreaks of Ebola Zaire, studies showed that infectious Ebola virus can hide out in areas where foreign invaders don’t seem to trigger immune responses. These so-called immune-privileged sites include the brain, the eyes, and the testes.
A genetic analysis of an Ebola outbreak of a 2021 outbreak in Guinea determined that the likely cause was a person who had been infected during the West African outbreak between 2014 and 2016, five years earlier. That suggests that Ebola Zaire infection may smolder for years in some survivors. It’s not clear whether Ebola Sudan may do the same.
Another challenge was the lesser-known type of Ebola virus causing the outbreak: the Sudan strain. Although there are therapeutics and a vaccine against another type of Ebola virus, Ebola Zaire, there are no such treatments or protections against Ebola Sudan.
WHO had rushed to start a Phase 3 vaccine trial in Uganda, but because there are no new cases, officials are talking about how to continue to study the vaccines “in a way that we conduct research that advances our understanding of these vaccines,” said Dr. Ana Maria Henao-Restrepo.
Survivors are also being monitored for the persistence of the virus in their bodies.

Biblical LOCUSTS * INSECTS -Damaging Crops & Famine *Entomological Warfare (EW) A type of Biological Warfare *Wiping out Afghanistan

Entomological Warfare (EW) One type involves infecting insects with a pathogen and then dispersing the insects over target areas.The insects then act as a vector, infecting any person or animal they might bite.
Another type of EW is a direct insect attack against crops; the insect may not be infected with any pathogen but instead use uninfected insects.
Advisory issued by the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) on 10 May 2023 warned of a major outbreak after Moroccan locusts (a species of locust which is found from north Africa to western Asia) were reported from 10 of Afghanistan’s provinces.
Is adding more vaccines a good idea. ALL vaccines are bad, STOP splitting hairs.
Phthalates are one of the most commonly used chemicals in the world. Each year in the United States, over one billion pounds of phthalates are released.
As they have many practical applications, phthalates are produced in huge volumes. In fact, as of 2006, over 470 million pounds of phthalates were produced per year.
People who eat out more often were found to have phthalate levels 35 percent higher than people who eat meals prepared at home.
Government watchdog group, Judicial Watch, finally received about 700 pages of Moderna documents through a Freedom of Information Act request to the government. While Moderna’s internal documents are still being kept secret, they had to file a Biological Licensing Application with the FDA. That document, Judicial Watch correctly argued, is a public record. We still haven’t seen any of Moderna’s internal vaccine documentation yet, as we have with Pfizer, but this is a significant first step.
Among the documents are the reproductive toxicology tests that Moderna conducted on a group of female rats. The rats were injected with the Moderna vaccine and then impregnated. Unlike Pfizer, Moderna didn’t immediately kill all of its rats. To Moderna’s credit, they saw the experiment through; they aborted some of the baby rats to see if their shot affected fetal development and allowed others to give birth to their babies to see the results.
Here’s what the Moderna documentation says:
“mRNA-1273-related variations in skeletal examination included statistically significant increases in the number of F1 rats with 1 or more wavy ribs and 1 or more rib nodules. Wavy ribs appeared in 6 fetuses and 4 litters with a fetal prevalence of 4.03% and a litter prevalence of 18.2%. Rib nodules appeared in 5 of those 6 fetuses.”
Let’s define a couple of terms that get tossed around when it comes to vaccines or any other medications: “Rare” and “very rare.” A rare side effect is considered one that occurs in between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 10,000 patients. A very rare side effect is considered one that occurs even less often than 1 in 10,000.
If 4% of the baby rats born to vaccinated mothers had rib malformities and rib nodules, that’s a rate of 1 in 20. That’s not very rare. That’s not rare. That’s dangerously common.
The documentation doesn’t say whether the “nodules” on the babies’ ribs were fibrous dysplasia, enchondroma or osteochondroma (three types of benign rib cancers) or if the nodules were simple fatty tissue lumps. That would be nice to know, but either way, it’s not normal in babies.
The FDA approval label for Moderna’s Spikevax, which is the vaccine in question, states:
“No vaccine-related fetal malformations or variations and no adverse effect on postnatal development were observed in the study.”
That is a flat-out lie from the Food and Drug Administration. And it’s not the first time, obviously.
Among the documents are the reproductive toxicology tests that Moderna conducted on a group of female rats. The rats were injected with the Moderna vaccine and then impregnated. Unlike Pfizer, Moderna didn’t immediately kill all of its rats. To Moderna’s credit, they saw the experiment through; they aborted some of the baby rats to see if their shot affected fetal development and allowed others to give birth to their babies to see the results.
Let’s not forget that Pfizer’s documents showed that 44% of pregnant women in their trials LOST THEIR BABIES. Out of 50 pregnant women that they gave the vaccine to, 22 of them had miscarriages and their babies died.
Dr. Naomi Wolf described the tragedy like this:
“Pfizer took those deaths of babies—those spontaneous abortions and miscarriages—and recategorized them as recovered/resolved adverse effects. In other words, if you lost your baby, it was categorized by Pfizer as resolved adverse event, like a headache that got better.”
The FDA received that documentation from Pfizer in April of 2021 – a year and a half ago! And yet both the FDA and the CDC remain adamant to this day that all pregnant and expecting and breastfeeding mothers should get the vaccine. It appears that the FDA and the CDC are just as corrupt as the FBI, and that’s saying a lot these days! And these ghouls described a miscarried baby as a “resolved adverse event?” That is disgusting.
Pfizer and Moderna’s own documents state that these vaccines can cause catastrophic miscarriage rates and can cause malformations and some type of lump – maybe cancerous, maybe not – in unborn babies. Does that sound like a “safe and effective” medicine that women of childbearing age should be getting injected with?
Children in war
Child Victims of Armed Conflicts
During the last 10 years, around 10 million children are estimated to have been killed as a result of war. The situations resulting from armed conflicts affect primarily children because of their vulnerability, and do so in many different ways. Often alone and helpless because of the reigning chaos, some become child soldiers, others are forced into exploitation. The fundamental rights of these children are shamelessly flouted for the benefit of barbarous and cruel acts. Many of them remain deeply traumatized, wounded, or even disabled.
Categories of child war victims
Armed conflicts create and inflict a great deal of suffering on populations. Often, children are the primary victims. Their situation can be classified into the following different categories:
– Civilian victims: During armed conflicts, it often happens that schools or even hospitals are targets of armed forces. Because of this, civilians in these places become victims of these attacks through no fault of their own. It should also be noted that after the end of a conflict, antipersonnel mines, cluster bombs, or other explosive remnants of war are instruments of death that continue to strike civilians. As a result of all these conflicts, many people, most particularly children, die each year.
– Child Soldiers: A child soldier is defined as any person less than eighteen years old who is a member of armed governmental forces or of a regular or irregular armed group or associated with these forces, whether or not there is an armed conflict (1).
– Displaced Children: During armed conflicts, a large number of children find themselves separated from their parents or those who have them in their care. There exist different categories for displaced children.
– Orphans: Because of war, many children find themselves orphans after the death of their parents.
– Wounded or Handicapped Children: Because of war, children are wounded, mutilated, or become handicapped as a result of the atrocities that they have had to live through.
– Imprisoned Children: In times of conflict, children are frequently imprisoned. The reasons for this imprisonment are diverse, but in most cases, it results from the association of the children with the armed forces of a State.
– Exploited Children (sexual exploitation or even forced labor): Often children are victims of sexual abuse. Most of the time, sexual violence increases considerably during times of conflict. Children are also subjected to forced labor and participate in hostilities through no fault of their own.
Why do the situations created by armed conflicts have repercussions on children in particular?
Confronted with the chaos caused by armed conflicts, children are the most wronged. In fact, most of the time they are still too young to understand what is happening or do not have any way to defend themselves against the danger. They are, therefore, vulnerable and become easy targets that armed forces have no qualms exploiting.
If they are not killed, mutilated, imprisoned, or raped as a result of barbarism, they are sexually exploited or reduced to slavery. Moreover, rape is sometimes used as a tactic of war against children and women in order to torture, wound, obtain information, intimidate, or punish.
Additionally, because of armed conflicts, children are separated from their families and find themselves alone, panicked, lost, and in need. Left to fend for themselves, they suffer from an inability to take care of themselves. In order to survive, they are often forced to flee their country.
Concerning the recruitment of child soldiers, the main reason why armed forces choose children over adults is explained by the ease in convincing them to join these groups and in manipulating them afterward. Children are naive, innocent, unconscious of danger and “are much cheaper”. They also tend to obey and do not challenge authority. Finally, children living in a difficult situation often see this recruitment as a way to resolve their problems.
Consequences of war on children
“At least two million children have died in the last 10 years as a result of wars started by adults, whether they were civilian targets or whether they were killed in combat as child soldiers. The number of children wounded or disabled is three times larger, and there are even more suffering from sicknesses, malnutrition, sexual violence, and the hardships of flight. Countless children have been confronted with the anguish of losing their home, their belongings, and those close to them. In such conditions, practically all the necessary constants for child development are seriously disrupted, and the psychological damages of armed conflicts are incalculable. (1)”
Direct consequences
In spite of the fact that wars also affect adults, children are unfortunately too often the direct but powerless victims of the horrors committed against their family.
In each conflict, numerous children are killed, wounded, or even exploited. Others are imprisoned, forced to leave their country to survive, or join the armed forces becoming “child soldiers”. Many find themselves orphans with no protection.
Other consequences can be added to this list. Confronting the horrors of war, children are subjected to profound emotional trauma which marks and changes them forever. These moral wounds are difficult to heal and have serious repercussions on their future life.
These children, unable to grow up in an atmosphere of trust and having had to face atrocities from a very young age, often develop the conviction that violence is a way like any other to solve disputes, and so it is difficult for them to send a message of peace and international security to future generations.
Indirect consequences
Children are also affected by war in a more indirect way. Armed conflicts also result in the destruction of infrastructure and basic services (hospitals, schools), which prevents children from having access to education and care. Most of the time, children find themselves without protection.
Solution : prevent conflicts
The prevention of armed conflicts is the only way to manage to improve the lives of child war victims. By collaborating with governments, many actors (the United Nations (UN) or other international organizations) can contribute to the implementation of preventative action.
The UN uses different techniques to prevent or manage conflicts between two countries in conflict, in order to create conditions for a return to a lasting peace. As an example, peacekeeping operations have a goal of establishing a United Nations presence in countries of conflict (with their agreement). The UN then has the possibility of deploying and maintaining on site troops, police, and civilian personnel. These people have the mission of assuring security and bringing the necessary political support for the consolidation of peace.
The protections of international law
In international humanitarian law, a child is protected not only in a general way as a person not participating in hostilities, but also benefits from a special protection by reason of the quality of being particularly vulnerable. A child who participates in hostilities is equally protected as well.
General Protections
The Geneva Convention relating to the protection of individual civilians in times of war (art 27 to 34): the fundamental guarantees granted by these texts, such as the right to the respect of life, physical and moral integrity, the ban of forced bodily services, torture, collective punishment, and reprisals are applicable to children.
A child has the right to these protections both in cases of armed international conflict or in its absence, in reason of principle of the 2nd additional protocol, according to which “neither the civilian population neither individual civilians shall be the object of attack”
Specific Protections
First additional protocol relating to the conduct of hostilities: this sets out the principle of special protection intended for children, according to which “children shall be the object of a special respect and shall be protected against any form of indecent assault (art 77). The Parties to the conflict shall provide them with the care and aid they require, whether because of their age or for any other reason.” This principle also applies to cases of non-international armed conflict.
This protocol compels States to take all possible measures in order to prevent children less than 15 years old from directly taking part in hostilities. It forbids their recruitment into armed forces.
“More than 25 articles of the Geneva Conventions and their additional protocols specifically concern children.They include rules on death penalty, access

The Children of Fallujah: The Medical Mystery at the Heart of the Iraq War
Yemeni Babies Deformed Because Of The Forbidden Weapons
April 15 | Yamanyoon
The Saudi-led coalition is now entering its third year of war on Yemen, and it has been accused of using international banned weapons against Yemeni civilians.
The emergence of deformed Yemeni babies now and then as documented by media outlets indicate the usage of chemical weapons, such as cluster bombs and white phosphorus by the Saudi regime.
Recently, a mother gave birth to a disfigured baby in the central province of Taiz, one of the most affected locations by the Saudi bombardment.
As mentioned above, this deformation is not the first of its kind. Not so long ago, they detected another case in Al-Sabeen hospital located in the capital Sana’a. The little victims did not get the chance to live a normal first day of their lives, and mothers had to encounter such incidents that one can’t imagine the way they felt when they first saw their new babies they have been waiting for.
To speak about the third and final condition, Al-Salam health clinic located in the Yemeni coastal province of Hodeidah, specifically Bajel district, witnessed a Yemeni infant born with a rare kind of deformation, “it’s a kind we have never seen before”, said YemenExtra correspondent. The infant soon passed away, and many though it was a more merciful option rather than living for the little victim.
“There might be some hidden terrible conditions, but some hospital directors get threats not to release any information regarding them”, says our correspondent.
“After Ansar Allah promised to provide protection for the hospital director, he exposed the the case documented above, proving the usage of international banned weapons in the coastal province of Hodeidah, which is now enduring one of the toughest battles in Mocha region.
Several humanitarian organizations have warned of the Saudi war against the already poor country in the southern Arabian Peninsula, and they have been invited to investigate such crimes against humanity in various hospitals against Yemeni childhood.

Back story: The evidence was clear, but no one cared – except you.
It’s the same old story. Know nothing. See nothing. Say nothing. When children died in a plague of cancers in southern Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War, the Americans and the Brits didn’t want to know about it. Nor, of course, did Saddam Hussein. If children had been poisoned by our depleted uranium munitions, then Saddam would lose face, wouldn’t he? Independent readers contributed $250,000 for medicines for the children we met in Iraq who were suffering from cancers and leukaemia after that war.
Margaret Hassan of Care – later murdered by unknown killers months after her kidnapping, following the “liberation” of Iraq – helped us distribute the medicines from our readers across the country. No thanks from Saddam, of course. And all the children died. And not a word from our masters, armaments manufacturers and jolly generals.
It’s the same again in Fallujah today. The doctors talk of a massive increase in child birth deformities. The Americans used phosphorous munitions – possibly also depleted uranium (DU) – in the 2004 battles of Fallujah. Everyone in Fallujah knows about these deformities. Reporters have seen these children and reported on them. But it’s know nothing, see nothing, say nothing. Neither the Iraqi government nor the US government nor the British will utter a squeak about Fallujah. Even when I found in the Balkans a 12-year-old Serb girl with internal bleeding, constant vomiting and nails that repeatedly fell out of her hands and feet – she had handled the shrapnel of depleted uranium munitions after a Nato air strike near Sarajevo in 1995 – Nato refused to respond to my offer to take a military doctor to see her.
Already, I had discovered that up to 300 Serb men, women and children who had lived close to the Nato target in the Sarajevo suburb of Hadjici, had died of cancers and leukaemias over the five years that followed the bombing. As for southern Iraq after the 1991 Gulf War, the less said, the better.
I met Ali Hillal in 1998, when he was just eight, in Baghdad’s Mansour hospital. He lived next to factories and a television station in Diyala, the repeated targets of US and British aircraft in 1991, the fifth child in a family with no history of cancer. Now he had a brain tumour. Latif Abdul Sattar had non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Youssef Abdul Raouf Mohamed from Kerbala had gastro-intestinal bleeding. There was Cherou Jassem in her party dress – she wanted her picture taken – who had acute myloblastic leukaemia.
And so it went on as I met each child 14 years ago. Dhamia Qassem, 13, suffered heart failure during treatment for acute leukaemia. Ahmed Walid, a baby during the 1991 Iraq bombings, developed chronic myeloid leukaemia in 1995. Many of the parents were with their children during the raids and some spoke of strange smells, of insecticide and flowers. Western diplomats – who otherwise chose to remain silent – wondered if the children might have been stricken by the smoke from Saddam’s bombed chemical warfare factories.
In Basra, I found Dr Jawad Khadim al-Ali who had drawn maps of the clusters of the new child and adult cancer cases across southern Iraq, some of the children from the very battlefields in which US tanks fired DU munitions at Saddam’s armoured forces. Even when I visited these sites I found farming families with new cancers. This, the doctors attributed to DU, of course, not phosphorous, although some researchers have suggested DU was also used at Fallujah in 2004.
What was astonishing, however, was the response. While The Independent‘s readers gave generously for medicines for the children, the British government’s reaction was pitiful. Lord Gilbert at the Ministry of Defence, in a letter dripping with sarcasm, said that my account of a possible link between DU ammunition and children’s cancer – “coming from anyone other than Robert Fisk” – would be “a wilful perversion of reality”. Particles from DU warheads became difficult to detect, he wrote, “even with the most sophisticated monitoring equipment”.
Yet when an Atomic Energy Agency official wrote to the Royal Ordnance in London in 1998, he said that the spread of radioactivity and toxic contamination would be “a risk to both the military and the civilian population” if not dealt with in peacetime.
In December 1998, Doug Henderson, then the British minister for the armed forces, wrote – in a letter that may soon have to be repeated over Fallujah – that while the government was aware of reports linking DU with “alleged [sic] deformities, cancers and birth defects, the government has not seen any peer-reviewed epidemiological research data on this population to support these claims and it would therefore be premature to comment on this matter”.
And so it went on. The authorities had nothing to say since there had been no “peer-reviewed epidemiological data” – which there would not be, because no such research would be carried out. Now, too, the same is happening in Fallujah where DU ammunition may also have been used in 2004, and where white phosphorous certainly was used. But there has been no “peer-reviewed epidemiological data”. So goodbye to the children of Fallujah, their brave parents and any chance of finding out the truth.
Unless, of course, some worthy NGO steps forward with the money and resources and training to do what neither the Iraqi government nor the Americans have shown any interest in doing: cataloguing the increase in birth deformities in a city where US forces fought their toughest battles since the Tet offensive in Vietnam. Phosphorous can be used to identify targets – but if used as a weapon in civilian areas, it would breach the 1980 Convention on conventional weapons. Which is probably why no one outside Iraq wants to hear the name of Fallujah.
New Study Documents Depleted Uranium Impacts on Children in Iraq
September 20, 2019
In the years following 2003, the U.S. military dotted Iraq with over 500 military bases, many of them close to Iraqi cities. These cities suffered the impacts of bombs, bullets, chemical and other weapons, but also the environmental damage of open burn pits on U.S. bases, abandoned tanks and trucks, and the storage of weapons on U.S. bases, including depleted uranium weapons. Here’s a map of some of the U.S. bases:
This map and the other illustrations below have been provided by Mozhgan Savabieasfahani, one of the authors of a forthcoming article in the journal Environmental Pollution. The article documents the results of a study undertaken in Nasiriyah near Tallil Air Base. Nasiriyah was bombed by the U.S. military in 2003 and in the early 1990s. Open-air burn pits were used at Tallil Air Base beginning in 2003. See a second map:
Now take a look (do not turn away) at these images of infants who were born between August and September of 2016 to parents who had continuously lived in Nasiriyah. The visible birth defects include: anencephaly (A1 and A2 , B), lower limb anomalies (C), hydrocephalus (D), spina bifida (E), and multiple anomalies (F, G, H). Imagine if these tragic birth defects had been caused by a natural disaster or the misdeeds of the next government targeted by the United States for “regime change” — would not the outrage be widespread and thunderous? But these horrors have a different cause.
Here’s another illustration, of hand and foot abnormalities in children in Nasiriyah, and in the ancient city of Ur, near the U.S. base:
The study now being published found an inverse relationship between the distance one lived from Tallil Air Base and the risk of birth defects as well as of levels of thorium and uranium in one’s hair. It found a positive relationship between the presence of thorium and uranium and the presence of birth defect(s). Thorium is a decay-product of depleted uranium, and a radioactive compound.
These results were found near this particular base rather than dozens of others, not because it is necessarily unique; no similar studies have yet been conducted near each of the other bases. The results found by this study are likely to be identical to results that could be found by a similar study next year, or next decade, or next century, or next millennium, at least in the absence of major efforts to mitigate the damage.
Depleted uranium (DU) weapons were not just stored in Iraq, but also fired in Iraq. Between 1,000 and 2,000 metric tons of DU was fired in Iraq according to a 2007 report by the U.N. Environment Program. While not at the same level, the U.S. military has also poisoned the Washington, D.C., area, among other parts of the United States and the globe with DU. The Pentagon to this day claims the right to use DU. Depleted uranium is permanently hazardous waste from the production of nuclear energy, a source of energy marketed by its lobbyists as environmentally beneficial. Here’s a description of DU from Iraq Veterans Against the War, a group (later renamed “About Face: Veterans Against the War!”) many of whose members are familiar with the damage that DU does to people directly, not just to their offspring:
“Depleted Uranium (DU) is a toxic, radioactive heavy metal that is the waste byproduct of the uranium enrichment process when producing nuclear weapons and uranium for nuclear reactors. Because this radioactive waste is plentiful and 1.7 times more dense than lead, the United States government uses DU in munitions/ammunition which are extremely effective at piercing armored vehicles. However, every round of DU ammunition leaves a residue of DU dust on everything it hits, contaminating the surrounding area with toxic waste that has a half-life of 4.5 billion years, the age of our solar system, and turns every battlefield and firing range into a toxic waste site that poisons everyone in such areas. DU dust can be inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through scratches in the skin. DU is linked to DNA damage, cancer, birth defects, and multiple other health problems. The United Nations classifies Depleted Uranium ammunitions as illegal Weapons of Mass Destruction because of their long-term impact on the land over which they are used and the long-term health problems they cause when people are exposed to them.”
The use of these weapons was a small part of the damage done to Iraq, its people, its society, and its natural environment by the war. We ought not to require any legal case before offering aid and making reparations. Basic human decency ought to suffice.
Were babies born deformed from Chernobyl?
There has been a 200 percent increase in birth defects and a 250 percent increase in congenital birth deformities in children born in the Chernobyl fallout area since 1986.
The “Children of Chernobyl,” a catch-all term for kids who suffered from the effects of the accident, attracted particular attention, as their bodies absorbed more radiation than adults’.1 The most common form of foreign aid involved health trips, in which children traveled abroad for rest, recovery, and medical treatment.
What happened to the baby in Chernobyl?
Lyudmilla said she didn’t know radiation could hurt her child. … Two months later, Lyudmilla gave birth to a daughter, who died after four hours from congenital heart malformations and cirrhosis of the liver (both of which have been linked to radiation exposure).
Does nuclear radiation cause deformities?
A 2010 study by the American Academy of Pediatrics found a correlation between the presence of hazardous levels of strontium-90 — a radioactive element produced by nuclear fission — and dramatically high rates of certain congenital birth defects.
How did Chernobyl affect pregnancy?
Studies regarding the reproductive health of women in the contaminated regions immediately after the Chernobyl accident showed a decrease in birth rates, an increase in anemia during pregnancy, and an increase in perinatal mortality.
How many children did Chernobyl affect?
To date, the group has helped organize stays for around 25,000 children, though it estimates that around 1 million children live in zones affected by the disaster.
What birth defects did Chernobyl Cause?
Much of the fetal damage caused by the Chernobyl disaster involved neural tube defects. In the fetus, the neural tube is an embryonic precursor to the central nervous system. In other words, the baby’s brain, and spinal cord— two of the most important parts of the human body—are formed from the neural tube.
Is the Chernobyl reactor still burning?
The team estimates half of the reactor’s original fuel is still locked up inside 305/2, so it’s not great news that neutron levels have doubled in the past four years. Reactor 4 several months after the disaster.
When Will Chernobyl be safe?
The first waste canister containing highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel from the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine has been successfully processed and will now be safely stored for at least a 100 years.
Are there people still alive from Chernobyl?
and most were young men at the time. Perhaps 10 percent of them are still alive today. Thirty-one people died as a direct result of the accident, according the official Soviet death toll.
The Children of Agent Orange
For decades, Vietnam veterans have suspected that the defoliant harmed their children. But the VA hasn’t studied its own data for clues.
A new ProPublica analysis has found that the odds of having a child born with birth defects were more than a third higher for veterans exposed to Agent Orange than for those who weren’t.
Concerns that Agent Orange was not just sickening vets but also causing birth defects in their children surfaced after troops returned from war four decades ago. Veterans reported that some of their children had unusual defects — missing limbs, extra limbs and other diseases — that didn’t run in their families. Some government studies were done, including Michalek’s, but they generally dismissed an association.
Since then, those findings have guided the government position on disability benefits for children of Vietnam vets. The VA makes payments only to those who have spina bifida, in which the spinal cord doesn’t develop properly, and the children of a small number of female Vietnam vets with 18 other diseases.
That leaves out the vast majority of vets’ ailing children.
Last week, after repeated recommendations by federal scientific advisory panels, Congress passed a bill that requires the VA to pay for an analysis of all research done thus far on the “descendants of veterans with toxic exposure.” It also requires the agency to determine the feasibility of future research and, if such studies are possible, to pursue them.
In its written response, the VA said it has already requested a related report from the National Academy of Medicine.
Recent advances in science, especially in the burgeoning field of epigenetics, have shown that chemical exposure can affect multiple generations. Changes in gene expression — whether a gene for a trait is turned on or off — can be passed from one generation to the next, research shows. A 2012 study, for example, showed that gestating female rats exposed to dioxin, a byproduct found in Agent Orange, passed mutations to future generations.
“I think there’s kind of a paradigm shift that’s been going on,” said Linda Birnbaum, director of the National Institute for Environmental Health Sciences, part of the National Institutes of Health. “While I used to be pretty skeptical about reports, especially related to Agent Orange exposures of predominantly male soldiers we had at the time, I’m not as skeptical as I was.”
If researchers conclude that troops’ wartime exposures can affect future generations, the implications go well beyond Vietnam veterans and their descendants. Vets from subsequent conflicts have similar concerns that their proximity to burn pits, depleted uranium and other toxins might be affecting their children.
Vietnam vets and their advocates believe a brutal calculation may lie at the heart of why their claims have gone unexamined. Caring for and compensating veterans themselves already costs tens of billions of dollars a year. If a link to their children is proven, it could add billions more.
Many Vietnam veterans, reaching the ends of their lives, are increasingly haunted by thoughts of the full cost of their service.
Blackledge, who fathered a healthy child before the war and two sick ones after, believes the government that exposed troops to Agent Orange should care for those it harmed — including their children.
“I probably wouldn’t have had kids,” he said, “had I known that there would be an impact on them.”
The Government Initially Denied Agent Orange Caused Health Problems
In 1974, the Department of Defense and the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) issued a report on the effects of herbicides used in South Vietnam. They concluded there was:
… no clear evidence of direct damage to human health from herbicides, “no conclusive evidence” linking the defoliants with human birth defects, and no proof of permanent soil damage. The committee determined soils were capable of sustaining growth as soon as six weeks after spraying and that a year after spraying the effects on plant growth were “undetectable.”
Children of the Apocalypse – Vietnam. The US army dumped Agent Orange on a third of Vietnam during the war. Fifty years on there are 800,000 third generation victims of the spray.The patients at Friendship Village (seen in the above video) suffer from constant sickness and physical defects. And there’s no cure. “It saddens me…I can’t do anything about it”. A Vietnamese war Veteran adds, “The Americans don’t want to acknowledge the damage!”. And now a fourth generation of Agent Orange victims is about to endure the consequences of the terrible disfigurements imprinted in their genetic material.
..”First let’s rewind a bit: to the days when Monsanto Corporation started out as the maker of killer poisons like DDT, PCBs, and Agent Orange.
From 1961 to 1971, the US dropped 21 million gallons of defoliants over large swathes of Vietnam, of which 12 million gallons were Agent Orange – a herbicide manufactured for the US Department of Defense primarily by Monsanto Corporation and Dow Chemical.
Its name derives from the colour of the orange-striped barrels in which it was shipped. There were other colours in the ‘rainbow herbicides’, but Agent Orange was by far the most widely used.
The use of Agent Orange was an experimental form of chemical and biological warfare, designed to strip foliage and deny the enemy jungle cover – and to deprive enemy forces of their food supply (directly spraying rice-fields, for instance). Experimental in this instance meaning no idea of the long-term effects of this deadly herbicide, which can release dioxin – one of the most potent toxins known to mankind.
According to the post-war Vietnamese government, 4.8 million Vietnamese people were exposed to Agent Orange, resulting in 400,000 deaths and disabilities, and 500,000 children born with birth defects.
And now, five decades later, with the cooperation of the US government, Monsanto is knocking on Vietnam’s door with another potentially carcinogenic herbicide: Roundup. GMO seeds are considered dangerous not only because they are modified, but also because they are designed to work with the chemical herbicide Roundup, Monsanto’s market-leading glyphosate brand.
The build-up of glyphosate in crops is suspected as a leading cause of a spike in cases of autism, cancer, and long-term illnesses in America. Not to mention a possible link with bee colony die-offs. The use of Roundup is highly controversial and it has already been banned in a number of countries around the globe”.
AGENT ORANGE: THE CONTINUING APOCALYPSE, 3rd GENERATION
Agent Orange is one of the dioxin-contaminated herbicides that were sprayed during the Vietnam War and used in different industrial and agricultural activities.
Their use has resulted in hotspots of dioxin contamination, with concentrations of the chemical two to five-fold higher in affected areas in southern Vietnam than in non-contaminated regions.
A number of conditions like chloracne, cardiovascular diseases and damage to the reproductive system, hormonal system and normal development have been associated with dioxin exposure.
Dioxin or Agent orange – A Vietnam war herbicide can still be responsible for hormonal imbalances in mother and their breastfeeding children decades later, found a study conducted by Kanazawa University in Japan.
Previous research has shown a link between exposure to herbicides that contain chemicals called dioxins (Agent Orange) and prostate cancer in men.

Chemical was sprayed on crops, plants and trees by U.S. military to destroy cover for guerrilla fighters
The dioxin can cause a range of birth defects as well as cancer and reproductive abnormalities
Heartbreaking pictures were captured by British-born photographer Francis Wade on trip to Vietnam
Many of the children end up in the care of the orphanages as their families cannot afford the burden of a disabled child and they are abandoned there.
Mr. Wade, a freelance journalist now based in Bangkok, explained: ‘The very sad subtext to this all, and the reason why I visited the orphanages, is that many families in Vietnam, particularly in the rural areas that were sprayed with Agent Orange are too poor to carry the burden of a disabled child, and so abandon them at orphanages.
US approves $170 million grant for Vietnam
Herbicides, including dioxin, sprayed by US forces during the past war have had long-term effects on generations of Vietnamese people.
Part of the US$169,739,000 aid will be used to deal with the legacy of the Vietnam War, including the consequences of Agent Orange/dioxin.
Accordingly, approximately US$14.5 million shall be made available for health and disability programs in areas sprayed with Agent Orange and contaminated with dioxin, to assist individuals with severe upper or lower body mobility impairment or cognitive or developmental disabilities.
About US$19 million shall be allocated for activities related to the remediation of dioxin contaminated sites in Vietnam. And about US$2.5 million shall be made available for a war legacy reconciliation program.
Once passed by Congress, the budget bill needs to be signed by President Donald Trump to take effect.
Between 1961and 1971, the US military launched a chemical warfare codenamed Operation Ranch Hand in Vietnam. In total they sprayed a range of herbicides, including Agent Orange/dioxin, across more than 4.5 million acres of Vietnam. As Agent Orange contains dioxin, it has immediate and long-term effects.
The Tragic Story of the Semipalatinsk Test Site Tugs at Your Soul
Semipalatinsk, also known as “The Polygon”, was a nuclear testing site for the former Soviet Union. The site was actively used for a period of 20 years, during which multiple nuclear bombs were detonated.
Nuclear weapons were first developed by the United States of America, and used during World War II in an attack on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The long-lasting devastation that ensued has left an indelible mark in history, since it not only caused territorial damage and loss of lives, but it also contaminated the area with radioactive fallout, which had an impact not only on the surviving population but also on their subsequent generations in the form of health disorders, birth defects, deformities, etc. More than 60 years after the nuclear detonation, the area is still uninhabitable, and the descendants of the people from those cities continue to exhibit health disorders. But these cities are not the first and last example of nuclear destructiveness.
Regrettably, yet another city has suffered a worse fate. It is the city of Semey, formerly known as Semipalatinsk, and also known as “The Polygon”. This city was formerly part of the Soviet Union, and currently is a part of Kazakhstan. In a bid to compete with the United States and successfully develop their own nuclear weapons, the Soviet Union carried out extensive testing of nuclear bombs
The extensiveness of the testing is evident in the fact that in just a period of 40 years (1949-1989), the Soviet Union managed to detonate and test around 456 nuclear warheads and missiles. Also, the collapse of the Soviet Union caused Kazakhstan to inherit over 1,410 nuclear warheads (fourth-largest nuclear arsenal in the world). In the later years, Kazakhstan returned the arsenal of warheads back to Russia, and signed anti-nuclear treaties like the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, the comprehensive test ban treaty, and also helped establish the central Asia nuclear weapon free zone.
Semipalatinsk Nuclear Test Site
Immediately after World War II, the cold war began between the Soviet Union and the allied forces, mainly the United States. This instigated the Soviets to develop nuclear weaponry to rival and even surpass that possessed by the U.S. With such a view in mind, the Semipalatinsk site was selected by Lavrentiy Beria, head of the Soviet atomic bomb project, who claimed that the vast steppe region was ideal for testing as it was completely uninhabited. But as is now obvious, his claims were false.
To develop the testing site, the area was isolated and the entry into and out of the site was restricted to high ranking government and military officials (politburo). Workers from Gulag camps (Russian camp for prisoners of war) were employed and charged with constructing the various buildings and facilities that included laboratories as well as underground bunkers and testing arenas.
On 29th August 1949, the first Russian nuclear bomb was detonated at the testing site. It was called “First Lightning” or “RDS-1” by the Russians, but the Americans refer to it as Joe-1, a reference to Joseph Stalin. The success of this test made the Soviet Union the second nation (after the US) to successfully develop and detonate a nuclear bomb. This success inspired better research, which ultimately culminated in the manufacture of Joe-4, a thermonuclear weapon produced by the Soviet Union.
This was tested successfully on 12th August 1953. Its detonation released an energy of 1,700TJ, which is equivalent to the detonation of 400 kilotons of TNT. Over the course of the next 4 decades (1949-1989), many more such tests were carried out, above ground as well as underground. Of the total 456 detonations, approximately 340 were underground explosions, while 116 were atmospheric explosions that resulted in the formation of the characteristic mushroom clouds.
This extensive testing caused the area to be highly saturated with nuclear radiation, causing it to become the world’s worst radiation hotspot. What makes this worse, is that the area was never completely inhabited, but possessed populations of rural citizens. Also, according to some recently declassified documents, the site was purposefully used as a site for not only testing nuclear weapons, but also testing the effect of the detonations on buildings, infrastructure, and people. Due to the events of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the Russian researchers were interested to investigate the effects of radiation exposure on humans. In addition to this inhuman research, if the citizens sought treatment, they were merely subjected to biological tests, and prescribed mild medications that could offer some relief but would not treat the actual condition. Meticulous reports were made of each individual and used for analysis.
Impact of Nuclear Testing
On the Environment
The soil, air, and land of the area remain highly radioactive, and experience radiation that is 10-20 times higher than normal. The accumulation of radioactive polonium over the 40 years of testing has rendered the top-soil of the area completely contaminated. The atmospheric explosions (specially those followed by rainfall) acted to spread the radioactivity over a vast distance. All flora and fauna in this region was affected, and hence led to the desertification of the area.
Similar effects were observed due to underground detonations. The underground blasts irradiated all ecological microfauna and helped in accelerating desertification, causing the area to be a vast barren expanse of contaminated soil and air.
The most prominent effect was seen in the form of the lake created due to the underground nuclear explosion on 15th January 1965. The bomb was equivalent to 140,000 tons of TNT, and caused the formation of a crater that was 408 m wide and 100 m deep. The radioactivity was so intense that it could be detected as far as Japan. The crater that was formed led to the creation of lake Chagan, also known as the “Atomic Lake”.
Its water source is the Chagan river, and it has a volume of 100,000 m3. It is highly radioactive and has an extremely high concentration of tritium and other radionuclides. The intense radioactivity causes the lake water to be non-viable, and hence, no living organism can be seen living in this water body.
On the Inhabitants
The radiation has induced a variety of genetic defects, skeletal deformities, and medical conditions in the inhabitants of the area. According to surveys, approximately 1.5 million people have been affected by the testing at Semipalatinsk. The health defects range from cancers to birth defects and congenital deformities. Along with these, the children born to these individuals, are born with a wide array of neurological and developmental defects.
The children exhibit absence of arms, skeletal deformities, organ failures, neurological damage, cancers, and also hematological disorders. It is estimated that during the four decades of testing, the individuals were exposed to as much as 2000 mSv of radiation per year. To put this into perspective, the average U.S. citizen is exposed to only 6.2 mSv of radiation per year. The exorbitantly high levels of radiation have exhibited dire consequences for the health of the people of the area. The gravity of the issue does not lie in the observable health conditions of the people, but in the genetic errors that have been introduced in their genome.
This is severely devastating, since not only is the current generation suffering, but the future generations will also suffer radiation damage due to these heritable genetic errors in their genome. It is impossible to provide any sort of restorative treatment for this issue. In many cases, deformed and damaged children that are born to seemingly healthy individuals are left at orphanages to be cared for by the charity of others. The overall effect of these health conditions has had an impact on the basic quality of life, concept of family, and humanity. In an attempt to stop the proliferation and spread of these defective genes, some researchers have proposed the issuing of certain documents, called “genetic passports”, to the affected people. These documents would identify the people exposed to and affected by nuclear radiation, such that they may be discouraged from the proliferation of their genetic material (have children), or at least be aware that if they do reproduce, their progeny would suffer from numerous health disorders.
Most authorities and people oppose this notion due to its deterministic nature. The issuing of these genetic passports would be tantamount to giving a free rein to eugenics (improvement of human genome via selective breeding). But on the other hand, these documents will help in reducing the prevalence of radiation-based genetic errors in the population; and if the individuals do not reproduce, the effects of the radiation would not be transferred to younger generations. This dilemma remains unsolved due to its highly controversial nature.
The observation of all these alarmingly atrocious effects of nuclear weaponry has instilled an anti-nuclear sentiment in the people of Kazakhstan. So much so that, the Kazakh citizens initiated an anti-nuclear movement called “Nevada Semipalatinsk” in 1989, which culminated in the closure of the testing site in 1991.
According to UNESCO, this movement played a vital role in presenting the need to fight against nuclear threats, globally. Kazakhstan has also played an important role in the formation and signing of various nuclear disarmament treaties among the nations of the world. The destructiveness of nuclear weapons is aptly captured in the following quote.

Congressmen angry that Bikini islanders’ trust fund may have been ‘squandered’
30 Jun 2023

Following widespread media coverage of the collapse of what was an over $US70 million trust fund for Bikini islanders displaced by American nuclear weapons testing, the United States Congress has demanded answers from the Interior Department about the status of the trust fund.
Four leading members of the US Congress put the Interior Department on notice last Friday that Congress is focused on accountability of Interior’s decision to discontinue oversight of the Bikini Resettlement Trust Fund.
In their three-page letter, the chairmen and the ranking members of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources and the House Committee on Natural Resources – which both have oversight on US funding to the Marshall Islands – wrote to Interior Secretary Deb Haaland with questions about what has happened to the Bikinians’ trust fund.
It was initially capitalised by the US Congress in 1982 and again in 1988 for a total investment of just under $US110m.
Protests in Majuro
The Congressional letter is the first official US action on the Bikini Resettlement Trust Fund and follows several demonstrations in Majuro over the past six weeks by members of the Bikini community angered by the current lack of money to support their community.
The letter notes that on November 16, 2017, Interior accepted Kili/Bikini/Ejit Mayor Anderson Jibas and the local council’s request for a “rescript” or change in the system of oversight of the Resettlement Trust Fund. As of September 30, 2016, the fund had $71m in it, the last audit available of the fund.
“Since then (2017), local officials have purportedly depleted the Fund,” the four Senate and House leaders wrote to Haaland.
“Indeed, media reports suggest that the Fund may have been squandered in ways that not only lack transparency and accountability, but also lack fidelity to the Fund’s original intent. If true, that is a major breach of public trust not only for the people of Bikini Atoll, for whom the Fund was established, but also for the American taxpayers whose dollars established and endowed the Fund.”
They refer to multiple media reports about the demise of the Resettlement Trust Fund, including in the Marshall Islands Journal, the New York Times, Marianas Variety and Honolulu Civil Beat.
The Resettlement Trust Fund was audited annually since inception in the 1980s. But there have been no audits released since 2016 during the tenure of current Mayor Jibas.
The lack of funds in the Resettlement Trust Fund only became evident in January when the local government was unable to pay workers and provide other benefits routinely provided for the displaced islanders.
Since January, no salaries or quarterly nuclear compensation payments have been made, leaving Bikinians largely destitute and now facing dozens of collection lawsuits from local banks due to delinquent loan payments.

‘Fund is in jeopardy’
The letter from Energy Chairman Senator Joe Manchin and ranking member Senator John Barrasso, and Natural Resources Chair Bruce Westerman and ranking member Raul Grijalva says American lawmakers “have a duty to oversee the management of taxpayer dollars appropriated for the resettlement and rehabilitation of Bikini Atoll.”
The letter also repeatedly makes the point that the money in the trust fund was only to rehabilitate and resettle Bikini Atoll, with projects on Kili or Ejit islands limited to only $2m per year, subject to the Interior Secretary’s prior approval.
“Regrettably, the continued viability of the Fund to serve its express purpose now appears to be in jeopardy,” the US elected leaders said.
The US leaders are demanding that Haaland explain why the Interior Department walked away from its long-standing oversight role with the trust fund in late 2017.
Specifically they want to know if the Office of the Solicitor approved the decision by then-Assistant Secretary Doug Domenech to accept the KBE Local Government’s rescript “as a valid amendment to the 1988 amended resettlement trust fund agreement.’
They also suggest Interior’s 2017 decision has ramifications for US legal liability.
“Does the Department believe that the 2017 rescript supersedes the 1988 amended resettlement trust fund agreement in its entirety?” they ask.
“If so, does the Department disclaim that Congress’s 1988 appropriation to the Fund fully satisfied the obligation of the United States to provide funds to assist in the resettlement and rehabilitation of Bikini Atoll by the people of Bikini Atoll? And does that waive any rights or reopen any potential legal liabilities for nuclear claims that were previously settled?”
They also want to know if KBE Local Government provided a copy of its annual budget, as promised, since 2017.
The letter winds up wanting to know what Interior is “doing to ensure that trust funds related to the Marshall Islands are managed transparently and accountably moving forward?”

North Korea’s nuclear tests ‘are creating DEFORMED BABIES’ as locals near bomb site live in fear of ‘phantom disease’ ravaging lives
More than 80 per cent of all trees that are planted die and essential underground wells have also run dry near the top secret Punggye-ri weapons test site.
KIM Jong-un’s leaky underground bomb site has turned the surrounding area into a nuclear wasteland sparking a spate of babies born with horrific deformities, defectors have reported.
Locals have been struck down with mystery illnesses, more than 80 per cent of all trees have died and essential underground wells have run dry near the top secret Punggye-ri weapons test site, they told the Research Association of Vision of North Korea.

Now those who used to live near the site have revealed other horrors.
“I heard from a relative in Kilju that deformed babies were born in hospitals there,” one defector claimed, according to the Chosun Ilbo newspaper.
“I spoke on the phone with family members I left behind there and they told me that all of the underground wells dried up after the sixth nuclear test,” said another.
One defector – who lived through two nuclear tests in 2006 and 2009 – revealed that most of those living near the weapons testing area are not warned ahead of bomb blasts.
“Only family members of soldiers were evacuated to underground shafts. Ordinary people were completely unaware of the tests,” he said.

North Korean people also drink the water that runs down from Mount Mantap, under which North Korea’s military conducts its nuclear tests.
Defectors have revealed that residents suffer from unexplained fatigue, headaches and shocking weight loss.
Others have reported an unusually high mortality rate and nervous system disorders, such as the loss of certain senses, including smell and taste.

Nuclear war ‘may break out any moment’ North Korean Deputy Ambassador delivers warning at United Nations
However, those who fall ill after a radioactive test are BANNED from seeing top medical experts in the capital of Pyongyang to stop the spread of panic.
Anyone caught boarding trains with samples of soil, water or leaves, face being arrested and sent to one of despot Kim’s state prison camps.
Meanwhile, 38 North, a North Korea monitoring site operated out of Johns Hopkins University, Maryland, reported at the weekend that commercial satellite imagery of Punggye-ri had shown significant movements near the West Portal, a yet-unused tunnel complex.
Infant deformities in Yemen linked to Saudi-led bombardment.
Doctors in Yemen have reported an increase in children born with deformities as a result of the two-year war that has left the country on the brink of famine.
The al-Sabeen Maternity and Child Hospital in the capital, Sana’a, has seen an increase in babies being born prematurely and with deformities, which doctors say is a result of the war and the Saudi-led coalition’s bombs.
“These cases of deformities have drastically increased over the past two years, due to the assault on Yemen, the rockets and the cluster bombs,” Doctor Abdulkarim al-Najjar said Wednesday.
Video footage taken from al-Sabeen hospital shows babies brought in from Al-Hudaydah coastal area, which has been targeted by airstrikes. The children have abnormally large skulls and painful-looking swollen heads covered in veins.
Al-Najjar described seeing “unprecedented” deformities in “brains, backbones, throats, digestive and nervous systems,” in babies born in Yemen.
Parents are struggling to get their children the treatment they need. “We urge the organizations and the good-doers assisting us with this case, since we have not found anyone to treat him [his son] in al-Sabeen Hospital due to the lack of means and the wars and the full blockade,” one father said.
Doctors in Yemen have been warning about the rise in stillbirths and deformities as a result of the war for some time.
“Fetal malformations could occur due to several reasons, including mothers’ diseases and subsequent viral infection of the faction and/or poor nutrition,” Wafa al-Mamari, an obstetrician at al-Rahma Hospital in northern Sana’a, told Press TV in July.
“The strange thing is that the rate of fetal abnormalities is growing and doctors cannot explain the causes, meaning that the phenomenon could be attributed to war and ordinances, given the fact that a great proportion of women with deformed fetuses hailed from bombarded areas in the provinces of Sa’adah, Sana’a, Ta’izz and Hudaydah,” she said.
Yemen is suffering a humanitarian crisis as the two-year conflict continues between a Saudi-led coalition and the Houthi rebels. The people of Yemen are at the brink of famine, with food and aid supplies cut off and almost seven million being pushed towards starvation, Oxfam warned in its latest release.
The UN estimates at least 10,000 civilian casualties have occurred since March 2015, when Saudi Arabia began bombing the country in support of President Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi, who fled Yemen in 2015. The bombardment began to remove the Houthi rebels from the capital, which they had captured in 2014.
On Thursday, Amnesty International again condemned both the US and the UK for supplying arms to Saudi Arabia which have been used to kill civilians. Both countries provide intelligence and logistic support to Saudi Arabia and have, according to Amnesty, sold more than $5 billion in weapons to the kingdom in the last two years.
Yemeni Babies Deformed Because Of The Forbidden Weapons
April 15 | Yamanyoon
The Saudi-led coalition is now entering its third year of war on Yemen, and it has been accused of using international banned weapons against Yemeni civilians.
The emergence of deformed Yemeni babies now and then as documented by media outlets indicate the usage of chemical weapons, such as cluster bombs and white phosphorus by the Saudi regime.
Recently, a mother gave birth to a disfigured baby in the central province of Taiz, one of the most affected locations by the Saudi bombardment.
As mentioned above, this deformation is not the first of its kind. Not so long ago, they detected another case in Al-Sabeen hospital located in the capital Sana’a. The little victims did not get the chance to live a normal first day of their lives, and mothers had to encounter such incidents that one can’t imagine the way they felt when they first saw their new babies they have been waiting for.
“There might be some hidden terrible conditions, but some hospital directors get threats not to release any information regarding them”, says our correspondent.
“After Ansar Allah promised to provide protection for the hospital director, he exposed the the case documented above, proving the usage of international banned weapons in the coastal province of Hodeidah, which is now enduring one of the toughest battles in Mocha region.
Several humanitarian organizations have warned of the Saudi war against the already poor country in the southern Arabian Peninsula, and they have been invited to investigate such crimes against humanity in various hospitals against Yemeni childhood.

Land robbing to ensure that critical minerals are produced, processed, and recycled in a manner that supports the ability of countries to realize the full economic development benefit of their geological endowments.
Critical minerals are mineral resources that are essential to the economy and whose supply may be disrupted. The ‘criticality’ of a mineral changes with time as supply and society’s needs shift.
A critical mineral is defined as one that has important uses and no viable substitutes, yet faces potential disruption in supply. Non-critical minerals, on the other hand, are those that do not meet these criteria and are not considered essential to the economy or national security, or do not have a vulnerable supply chain.

Plutonium: a chemical element that occurs in trace amounts in nature, but is manufactured in nuclear reactors and is used as fuel therein as well as an explosive in nuclear fission weapons. Hence the derivation of the title, The God of Hell.
For two decades, the Pentagon and Congress have been increasingly concerned that the United States does not have a reliable capability to produce plutonium “pits,” the cores of US thermonuclear warheads.

creepiest science experiments in human history
Aug 28, 2022
We are all aware that the goal of science is to “find” and “explore” new information in order to dispel ignorance and superstition. And as the fields of biomedicine and psychology continue to advance, a great deal of intriguing scientific research is playing an increasingly important role. This has made it possible to develop more efficient methods for gathering important data, treating physical or mental abnormalities, and even saving us from some fatal situations at once.
However, performing some pretty strange things might also be a part of it. Some of the strangest and most inhumane experiments in human history, which will truly haunt mankind for eternity, have been carried out by scientists in the last 200 years in the name of pioneering inquiry.
Mustard Gas Tested on American Military
In 1943, the U.S. Navy exposed its own sailors to mustard gas. Officially, the Navy was testing the effectiveness of new clothing and gas masks against the deadly gas that had proven so terrifying in the first World War. The worst of the experiments occurred at the Naval Research Laboratory in Washington. Seventeen and 18-year old boys were approached after eight weeks of boot camp and asked if they wanted to participate in an experiment that would help shorten the war. Only when the boys reached the Research Laboratory were they told the experiment involved mustard gas. The participants, almost all of whom suffered severe external and internal burns, were ignored by the Navy and, in some cases, threatened with the Espionage Act. In 1991, the reports were finally declassified and taken before Congress
Radioactive Materials on Pregnant Women
Shortly after World War II, with the impending Cold War forefront on the minds of Americans, many medical researchers were preoccupied with the idea of radioactivity and chemical warfare. In an experiment at Vanderbilt University, 829 pregnant women were given “vitamin drinks” they were told would improve the health of their unborn babies. Instead, the drinks contained radioactive iron and the researchers were studying how quickly the radioisotope crossed into the placenta. At least seven of the babies later died from cancers and leukemia, and the women themselves experienced rashes, bruises, anemia, loss of hair and tooth, and cancer.
Unit 731
From 1937 to 1945, the imperial Japanese Army developed a covert biological and chemical warfare research experiment called Unit 731. Based in the large city of Harbin, Unit 731 was responsible for some of the most atrocious war crimes in history. Chinese and Russian subjects — men, women, children, infants, the elderly, and pregnant women — were subjected to experiments which included the removal of organs from a live body, amputation for the study of blood loss, germ warfare attacks, and weapons testing. Some prisoners even had their stomachs surgically removed and their esophagus reattached to the intestines. Many of the scientists involved in Unit 731 rose to prominent careers in politics, academia, business, and medicine.
Human Experimentation in North Korea
Several North Korean defectors have described witnessing disturbing cases of human experimentation. In one alleged experiment, 50 healthy women prisoners were given poisoned cabbage leaves — all 50 women were dead within 20 minutes. Other described experiments include the practice of surgery on prisoners without anesthesia, purposeful starvation, beating prisoners over the head before using the zombie-like victims for target practice, and chambers in which whole families are murdered with suffocation gas. It is said that each month, a black van known as “the crow” collects 40-50 people from a camp and takes them to an known location for experiments.
Nazi Human Experimentation
Over the course of the Third Reich and the Holocaust, Nazi Germany conducted a series of medical experiments on Jews, POWs, Romani, and other persecuted groups. The experiments were conducted in concentration camps, and in most cases resulted in death, disfigurement, or permanent disability. Especially disturbing experiments included attempts to genetically manipulate twins; bone, muscle, and nerve transplantation; exposure to diseases and chemical gasses; sterilization, and anything else the infamous Nazi doctors could think up. After the war, these crimes were tried as part of the Nuremberg Trial and ultimately led to the development of the Nuremberg Code of medical ethics.
Human Experimentation in the Soviet Union
Beginning in 1921 and continuing for most of the 21st century, the Soviet Union employed poison laboratories known as Laboratory 1, Laboratory 12, and Kamera as covert research facilities of the secret police agencies. Prisoners from the Gulags were exposed to a number of deadly poisons, the purpose of which was to find a tasteless, odorless chemical that could not be detected post mortem. Tested poisons included mustard gas, ricin, digitoxin, and curare, among others. Men and women of varying ages and physical conditions were brought to the laboratories and given the poisons as “medication,” or part of a meal or drink.
Infected Mosquitoes in Towns
In 1956 and 1957, the United States Army conducted a number of biological warfare experiments on the cities of Savannah, Georgia and Avon Park, Florida. In one such experiment, millions of infected mosquitos were released into the two cities, in order to see if the insects could spread yellow fever and dengue fever. Not surprisingly, hundreds of researchers contracted illnesses that included fevers, respiratory problems, stillbirths, encephalitis, and typhoid. In order to photograph the results of their experiments, Army researchers pretended to be public health workers. Several people died as a result of the research.
Milgram Experiment
In 1961, Stanley Milgram, a psychologist at Yale University, began a series of social psychology experiments that measured the willingness of test subjects to obey an authority figure. Conducted only three months after the start of the trial of German Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, Milgram’s experiment sought to answer the question, “Could it be that Eichmann and his million accomplices in the Holocaust were just following orders?” In the experiment, two participants (one secretly an actor and one an unwitting test subject) were separated into two rooms where they could hear, but not see, each other. The test subject would then read a series of questions to the actor, punishing each wrong answer with an electric shock. Though many people would indicate their desire to stop the experiment, almost all subjects continued when they were told they would not be held responsible, or that there would not be any permanent damage.
Tuskegee Syphilis Study
In 1932, the U.S. Public Health Service began working with the Tuskegee Institute to track the natural progression of untreated syphilis. Six hundred poor, illiterate, male sharecroppers were found and hired in Macon County, Alabama. Of the 600 men, only 399 had previously contracted syphilis, and none were told they had a life threatening disease. Instead, they were told they were receiving free healthcare, meals, and burial insurance in exchange for participating. Even after Penicillin was proven an effective cure for syphilis in 1947, the study continued until 1972. In addition to the original subjects, victims of the study included wives who contracted the disease, and children born with congenital syphilis. In 1997, President Bill Clinton formally apologized to those affected by what is often called the “most infamous biomedical experiment in U.S. history.”
Syphilis Experiments in Guatemala
From 1946 to 1948, the United States government, Guatemalan president Juan José Arévalo, and some Guatemalan health ministries, cooperated in a disturbing human experiment on unwitting Guatemalan citizens. Doctors deliberately infected soldiers, prostitutes, prisoners, and mental patients with syphilis and other sexually transmitted diseases in an attempt to track their untreated natural progression. Treated only with antibiotics, the experiment resulted in at least 30 documented deaths. In 2010, the United States made a formal apology to Guatemala for their involvement in these experiments.
Stanford Prison Experiment
Conducted at Stanford University from August 14-20, 1971, the Stanford Prison Experiment was an investigation into the causes of conflict between military guards and prisoners. Twenty-four male students were chosen and randomly assigned roles of prisoners and guards. They were then situated in a specially-designed mock prison in the basement of the Stanford psychology building. Those subjects assigned to be guards enforced authoritarian measures and subjected the prisoners to psychological torture. Surprisingly, many of the prisoners accepted the abuses. Though the experiment exceeded the expectations of all of the researchers, it was abruptly ended after only six days.
Effect of Radiation on Testicles
Between 1963 and 1973, dozens of Washington and Oregon prison inmates were used as test subjects in an experiment designed to test the effects of radiation on testicles. Bribed with cash and the suggestion of parole, 130 inmates willingly agreed to participate in the experiments conducted by the University of Washington on behalf of the U.S. government. In most cases, subjects were zapped with over 400 rads of radiation (the equivalent of 2,400 chest x-rays) in 10 minute intervals. However, it was much later that the inmates learned the experiments were far more dangerous than they had been told. In 2000, the former participants settled a $2.4 million class-action settlement from the University.
Sexual Reassignment
In 1965, Canadian David Peter Reimer was born biologically male. But at seven months old, his penis was accidentally destroyed during an unconventional circumcision by cauterization. John Money, a psychologist and proponent of the idea that gender is learned, convinced the Reimers that their son would be more likely to achieve a successful, functional sexual maturation as a girl. Though Money continued to report only success over the years, David’s own account insisted that he had never identified as female. He spent his childhood teased, ostracized, and seriously depressed. At age 38, David committed suicide by shooting himself in the head.
Medical Experiments on Prison Inmates
Perhaps one benefit of being an inmate at California’s San Quentin prison is the easy access to acclaimed Bay Area doctors. But if that’s the case, then a downside is that these doctors also have easy access to inmates. From 1913 to 1951, Dr. Leo Stanley, chief surgeon at San Quentin, used prisoners as test subjects in a variety of bizarre medical experiments. Stanley’s experiments included sterilization and potential treatments for the Spanish Flu. In one particularly disturbing experiment, Stanley performed testicle transplants on living prisoners using testicles from executed prisoners and, in some cases, from goats and boars.
The Aversion Project
In 1969, during South Africa’s detestable Apartheid era, thousands of homosexuals were handed over to the care of Dr. Aubrey Levin, an army colonel and psychologist convinced he could “cure” homosexuals. At the Voortrekkerhoogte military hospital near Pretoria, Levin used electroconvulsive aversion therapy to “reorientate” his patients. Electrodes were strapped to a patient’s upper arm with wires running to a dial calibrated from 1 to 10. Homosexual men were shown pictures of a naked man and encouraged to fantasize, at which point the patient was subjected to severe shocks. When Levin was warned that he would be named an abuser of human rights, he emigrated to Canada where he currently works at a teaching hospital.
Experiments on Newborns
In the 1960s, researchers at the University of California began an experiment to study changes in blood pressure and blood flow. The researchers used 113 newborns ranging in age from one hour to three days old as test subjects. In one experiment, a catheter was inserted through the umbilical arteries and into the aorta. The newborn’s feet were then immersed in ice water for the purpose of testing aortic pressure. In another experiment, up to 50 newborns were individually strapped onto a circumcision board, then tilted so that their blood rushed to their head and their blood pressure could be monitored.
Project MKUltra
Project MKUltra is the code name of a CIA-sponsored research operation that experimented in human behavioral engineering. From 1953 to 1973, the program employed various methodologies to manipulate the mental states of American and Canadian citizens. These unwitting human test subjects were plied with LSD and other mind-altering drugs, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, and various forms of torture. Research occurred at universities, hospitals, prisons, and pharmaceutical companies. Though the project sought to develop “chemical […] materials capable of employment in clandestine operations,” Project MKUltra was ended by a Congress-commissioned investigation into CIA activities within the U.S.
The Monster Study
In 1939, University of Iowa researchers Wendell Johnson and Mary Tudor conducted a stuttering experiment on 22 orphan children in Davenport, Iowa. The children were separated into two groups, the first of which received positive speech therapy where children were praised for speech fluency. In the second group, children received negative speech therapy and were belittled for every speech imperfection. Normal-speaking children in the second group developed speech problems which they then retained for the rest of their lives. Terrified by the news of human experiments conducted by the Nazis, Johnson and Tudor never published the results of their “Monster Study.”
Study of Humans Accidentally Exposed to Fallout Radiation
Beta and Gamma Radiation due to Fall-out from High-Yield Weapons,” known better as Project 4.1, was a medical study conducted by the U.S. of residents of the Marshall Islands. When the Castle Bravo nuclear test resulted in a yield larger than originally expected, the government instituted a top secret study to “evaluate the severity of radiation injury” to those accidentally exposed. Though most sources agree the exposure was unintentional, many Marshallese believed Project 4.1 was planned before the Castle Bravo test. In all, 239 Marshallese were exposed to significant levels of radiation.
Operation Midnight Climax
Initially established in the 1950s as a sub-project of a CIA-sponsored, mind-control research program, Operation Midnight Climax sought to study the effects of LSD on individuals. In San Francisco and New York, unconsenting subjects were lured to safehouses by prostitutes on the CIA payroll, unknowingly given LSD and other mind-altering substances, and monitored from behind one-way glass. Though the safehouses were shut down in 1965, when it was discovered that the CIA was administering LSD to human subjects, Operation Midnight Climax was a theater for extensive research on sexual blackmail, surveillance technology, and the use of mind-altering drugs on field operations.
Hepatitis in Mentally Disabled Children
In the 1950s, Willowbrook State School, a New York state-run institution for mentally handicapped children, began experiencing outbreaks of hepatitis. Due to unsanitary conditions, it was virtually inevitable that these children would contract hepatitis. Dr. Saul Krugman, sent to investigate the outbreak, proposed an experiment that would assist in developing a vaccine. However, the experiment required deliberately infecting children with the disease. Though Krugman’s study was controversial from the start, critics were eventually silenced by the permission letters obtained from each child’s parents. In reality, offering one’s child to the experiment was oftentimes the only way to guarantee admittance into the overcrowded institution.
Project Artichoke
In the 1950s, the CIA’s Office of Scientific Intelligence ran a series of mind control projects in an attempt to answer the question “Can we get control of an individual to the point where he will do our bidding against his will and even against fundamental laws of nature?” One of these programs, Project Artichoke, studied hypnosis, forced morphine addiction, drug withdrawal, and the use of chemicals to incite amnesia in unwitting human subjects. Though the project was eventually shut down in the mid-1960s, the project opened the door to extensive research on the use of mind-control in field operations.
Electroshock Therapy on Children
In the 1960s, Dr. Lauretta Bender of New York’s Creedmoor Hospital began what she believed to be a revolutionary treatment for children with social issues — electroshock therapy. Bender’s methods included interviewing and analyzing a sensitive child in front of a large group, then applying a gentle amount of pressure to the child’s head. Supposedly, any child who moved with the pressure was showing early signs of schizophrenia. Herself the victim of a misunderstood childhood, Bender was said to be unsympathetic to the children in her care. By the time her treatments were shut down, Bender had used electroshock therapy on over 100 children, the youngest of whom was age three.
Dr. William Beaumont and the Stomach
In 1822, a fur trader on Mackinac Island in Michigan was accidentally shot in the stomach and treated by Dr. William Beaumont. Despite dire predictions, the fur trader survived — but with a hole (fistula) in his stomach that never healed. Recognizing the unique opportunity to observe the digestive process, Beaumont began conducting experiments. Beaumont would tie food to a string, then insert it through the hole in the trader’s stomach. Every few hours, Beaumont would remove the food to observe how it had been digested. Though gruesome, Beaumont’s experiments led to the worldwide acceptance that digestion was a chemical, not a mechanical, process.
Emma Eckstein and Sigmund Freud
Despite seeking the help of Sigmund Freud for vague symptoms like stomach ailments and slight depression, 27-year old Emma Eckstein was “treated” by the German doctor for hysteria and excessive masturbation, a habit then considered dangerous to mental health. Emma’s treatment included a disturbing experimental surgery in which she was anesthetized with only a local anesthetic and cocaine before the inside of her nose was cauterized. Not surprisingly, Emma’s surgery was a disaster. Whether Emma was a legitimate medical patient or a source of more amorous interest for Freud, as a recent movie suggests, Freud continued to treat Emma for three years.
Stateville Penitentiary Malaria Study
During World War II, malaria and other tropical diseases were impeding the efforts of American military in the Pacific. In order to get a grip, the Malaria Research Project was established at Stateville Penitentiary in Joliet, Illinois. Doctors from the University of Chicago exposed 441 volunteer inmates to bites from malaria-infected mosquitos. Though one inmate died of a heart attack, researchers insisted his death was unrelated to the study. The widely praised experiment continued at Stateville for 29 years, and included the first human test of Primaquine, a medication still used in the treatment of malaria and Pneumocystis pneumonia.
Project QKHILLTOP
In 1954, the CIA developed an experiment called Project QKHILLTOP to study Chinese brainwashing techniques, which they then used to develop new methods of interrogation. Leading the research was Dr. Harold Wolff of Cornell University Medical School. After requesting that the CIA provide him with information on imprisonment, deprivation, humiliation, torture, brainwashing, hypnoses, and more, Wolff’s research team began to formulate a plan through which they would develop secret drugs and various brain damaging procedures. According to a letter he wrote, in order to fully test the effects of the harmful research, Wolff expected the CIA to “make available suitable subjects.”
Henrietta Lacks
In 1955, Henrietta Lacks, a poor, uneducated African-American woman from Baltimore, was the unwitting source of cells which where then cultured for the purpose of medical research. Though researchers had tried to grow cells before, Henrietta’s were the first successfully kept alive and cloned. Henrietta’s cells, known as HeLa cells, have been instrumental in the development of the polio vaccine, cancer research, AIDS research, gene mapping, and countless other scientific endeavors. Henrietta died penniless and was buried without a tombstone in a family cemetery. For decades, her husband and five children were left in the dark about their wife and mother’s amazing contribution to modern medicine.
Prison Inmates as Test Subjects
In 1951, Dr. Albert M. Kligman, a dermatologist at the University of Pennsylvania and future inventor of Retin-A, began experimenting on inmates at Philadelphia’s Holmesburg Prison. As Kligman later told a newspaper reporter, “All I saw before me were acres of skin. It was like a farmer seeing a field for the first time.” Over the next 20 years, inmates willingly allowed Kligman to use their bodies in experiments involving toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo, skin creams, detergents, liquid diets, eye drops, foot powders, and hair dyes. Though the tests required constant biopsies and painful procedures, none of the inmates experienced long-term harm.
The Tearoom Sex Study
Sociologist Laud Humphreys often wondered about the men who commit impersonal sexual acts with one another in public restrooms. He wondered why “tearoom sex” — fellatio in public restrooms — led to the majority of homosexual arrests in the United States. Humphreys decided to become a “watchqueen” (the person who keeps watch and coughs when a cop or stranger get near) for his Ph.D. dissertation at Washington University. Throughout his research, Humphreys observed hundreds of acts of fellatio and interviewed many of the participants. He found that 54% of his subjects were married, and 38% were very clearly neither bisexual or homosexual. Humphreys’ research shattered a number of stereotypes held by both the public and law enforcement.
A Human Brain – Trapped In A Mouse!
Researchers at the Salk Institute in La Jolla discovered how to grow human brain cells by injecting embryonic stem cells into fetal mice. This combines the twin horrors of stem cells and transgenic research to give us either supersmart squirmy mice babies, or people with rodent brains.
The Infamous Nazi Human Experiments
In human history, the medical atrocities performed by the Nazis are reportedly the most bizarre and disturbing events that are well-documented and undeniably horrifying. The experiments were conducted in concentration camps, and in most cases resulted in death, disfigurement, or permanent disability. They would attempt bone, muscle, and nerve transplantation; exposure the victims to diseases and chemical gasses; sterilization, and anything else the infamous Nazi doctors could think up.
The cruellest experiments were conducted in the 1940s by a Nazi doctor named Josef Mengele, who was also known as the “Angel of Death”. He used as many as 1,500 sets of twins, mostly Romany and Jewish children, for his painful genetic experiments at Auschwitz. Only about 200 survived. His experiments included taking one twin’s eyeball and attaching it on the back of the other twin’s head, changing the eye colour of children by injecting dye, putting them into pressure chambers, testing them with drugs, castrating or freezing to death, and exposing to various other traumas. In one instance, two Romany twins were sewn together in an attempt to create conjoined twins.
Apart from this, in 1942, in order to help the German pilots, the German Air Force (Nazi) locked prisoners from Dachau concentration into an airtight, low-pressure chamber. The chamber was designed as such that the conditions inside it were at an altitude of up to 66,000 ft. This dangerous experiment led to the death of 80 out of the 200 subjects. Those who survived were executed in various horrible ways. What’s also terrifying is how useful this information was to medical science. A large amount of our knowledge about how higher-altitude, hypothermia and cold effect humans are based on this data collected from Nazi’s such gruesome experiments. Many have raised questions about the morality of using data gathered under such horrific circumstances.
Implantable Identity Code
Radio-frequency identification (RFID) uses electromagnetic fields to automatically identify and track tags attached to objects. The tags contain electronically-stored information. The first RFID implant in a human was in 1998, and since then it’s been an easy option for people wanting to be a little bit cyborg. Now companies, prisons, and hospitals have FDA approval to implant them into individuals, in order to track where people are going. A Mexican attorney general got 18 of his staff members chipped to control who had access to documents. The prospect of a business forcing its employees to receive an implant of any type is creepy and totalitarian.
New Born Babies Experiments (In The 1960s)
In the 1960s, researchers at the University of California used around 113 babies aged one to three months in various experiments to study changes in blood pressure and blood flow. In one of the experiments, 50 newborns were individually tied onto a circumcision board. They were then tilted to a certain angle to make blood rush to their head so that their blood pressure could be examined.
Radiation Tests On Pregnant Women
After World War II, radioactive materials were tested on pregnant women. Medical researchers in America fed radioactive edibles to 829 pregnant women while working on their idea of radioactivity and chemical warfare after World War II. The victims were told that they were given ‘energy drinks’ which would improve the health of their babies. Not only did the babies die from leukaemia, but the mothers also experienced severe rashes and bruises, along with some cancerous diseases.
Robert Heath’s Electric Sex Stimulation
Robert G. Heath was an American psychiatrist who followed the theory of ‘biological psychiatry’ that organic defects were the sole source of mental illness, and that consequently mental problems were treatable by physical means. To prove that, in 1953, Dr. Heath inserted the electrodes into a subject’s brain and shocked the septal region ― associated with feelings of pleasure ― and many other parts of his brain. Using this deep brain stimulation procedure, he had experimented on the subject with gay conversion therapy and claimed to have successfully converted a homosexual person, labelled in his paper as Patient B-19. The septal electrodes were then stimulated while he was shown heterosexual pornographic material. The patient was later encouraged to have intercourse with a prostitute recruited for the study. As a result, Heath claimed the patient was successfully converted to heterosexuality. However, this research would be deemed unethical today for a variety of humane reasons.
Scientist Lets Insect Live Inside Her!
The sand flea, also known as chigger flea, is pretty gross. It burrows permanently into the skin of a warm-blooded host — like a human — where it swells, defecates, and produces eggs, before dying 4-6 weeks later, still embedded in the skin. We know a lot about them, but until now, their sex lives have been shrouded in mystery. Not anymore: A researcher in Madagascar was so interested in sand flea development that she let one of the bugs live inside her foot for 2 months. Her intimate observations paid off: She figured out that the parasites most likely have sex when the females are already inside their hosts.
Stimoceiver
José Delgado, a professor at Yale, invented the Stimocever, a radio implanted in the brain to control behaviour. Most dramatically, he demonstrated its effectiveness by stopping a charging bull with the implant. Except this thing could control peoples actions. In one case, the implant caused erotic stimulation for a woman, who stopped looking after herself and lost some motor functions after using the stimulator. She even developed an ulcer on her finger from constantly adjusting the amplitude dial.
THN1412 Drug Trial
In 2007, drug trials started for THN1412, a leukaemia treatment. It had been tested previously in animals and was found completely safe. Generally, a drug is deemed safe to test on humans when it is found to be nonfatal to animals. When testing began in human subjects, the humans were given doses 500 times lower than found safe for animals. Nevertheless, this drug, safe for animals, caused catastrophic organ failure in test subjects. Here the difference between animals and humans was deadly.
Dr. William Beaumont And The Stomach
In 1822, a fur trader on Mackinac Island in Michigan was accidentally shot in the stomach and treated by Dr. William Beaumont. Despite dire predictions, the fur trader survived — but with a hole (fistula) in his stomach that never healed. Recognizing the unique opportunity to observe the digestive process, Beaumont began conducting experiments. Beaumont would tie food to a string, then insert it through the hole in the trader’s stomach. Every few hours, Beaumont would remove the food to observe how it had been digested. Though gruesome, Beaumont’s experiments led to the worldwide acceptance that digestion was a chemical, not a mechanical, process.
Extracting Body Parts To Cure Insanity
Dr. Henry Cotton was the head physician of the New Jersey State Lunatic Asylum which is presently called the Trenton Psychiatric Hospital. He was convinced that the internal organs, upon developing infections, were the root causes of insanity and must, therefore, be extracted for study. In 1907, the “surgical bacteriology” procedures were done often without the consent of patients. Teeth, tonsils and even deeper internal organs such as colons that were suspected to be causing the insanity were extracted. To prove his point, the doctor also extracted his own teeth, as well as those of his wife and sons! Forty-nine patients died from the procedures, which he justified as “end-stage psychosis.” He is currently regarded as a pioneering expert who paved the way for efforts to cure insanity — but critics still consider his works appalling, nonetheless!
Hepatitis In Mentally Disabled Children
In the 1950s, Willowbrook State School, a New York state-run institution for mentally handicapped children, began experiencing outbreaks of hepatitis. Due to unsanitary conditions, it was virtually inevitable that these children would contract hepatitis. Dr. Saul Krugman, sent to investigate the outbreak, proposed an experiment that would assist in developing a vaccine. However, the experiment required deliberately infecting children with the disease. Though Krugman’s study was controversial from the start, critics were eventually silenced by the permission letters obtained from each child’s parents. In reality, offering one’s child to the experiment was oftentimes the only way to guarantee admittance into the overcrowded institution.
Keeping The Dog’s Head Alive
In the late 1920s, a Soviet physician named Sergei Brukhonenko decided to test the theory of his, through a very creepy experiment. He decapitated a dog and using a self-made machine called ‘autojektor,‘ he managed to keep the head alive for multiple hours. He shone the light in its eyes, and the eyes blinked. When he banged a hammer on the table, the dog flinched. He even fed the head a piece of cheese, which promptly popped out the oesophagal tube on the other end. The head was indeed alive. Brukhonenko developed a new version of the autojektor (for use on humans) in the same year; it can be seen today on display at the Museum of Cardiovascular Surgery at the Bakulev Scientific Center of Cardiovascular Surgery in Russia.
The Lazarus Project
During the 1930s, Dr. Robert E. Cornish, a young California scientist who astounded the nation by bringing the dead dog, Lazarus, back to life after three failed attempts. He claimed that he had found a way to store the life to the dead; in cases of none of the major organs were damaged. In this process, he would inject some chemical mixture through the veins of dead bodies. He was now preparing to repeat his experiment using human subjects. So he had petitioned the governors of the three states, Colorado, Arizona and Nevada to furnish him with the bodies of criminals after they are pronounced dead in the lethal gas chambers — but his requests were rejected on various grounds. However, hearing of his predicament, approximately 50 people, interested both in science and possible remuneration, had offered themselves as subjects.

On Wonderland Avenue in the Hollywood Hills there’s an eight-bedroom, 12-bathroom compound that was built in the early 1940s. The exterior is a little drab, and there is nothing particularly remarkable about its appearance. But the complex, once known as Lookout Mountain, has an incredible history. Between 1947 and 1969, some of Hollywood’s most talented scriptwriters, producers, editors, and directors made furtive journeys to this place to work on a top-secret project: filming nuclear explosions.
The United States Air Force established Lookout Mountain in 1947 in order to produce movies and photographs of nuclear tests. It was a full-service facility: military and civilian filmmakers would head to test sites in the Nevada desert or Pacific islands, capture footage of exploding bombs, and bring it back to Laurel Canyon for editing and post production.

82 years (March 26, 1940-)
First office Held 1987
Natalie Wood (born Natalie Zacharenko, July 20, 1938 – November 29, 1981) was an American actress who began her career in film as a child and successfully transitioned to young adult roles.
Born in San Francisco to Russian immigrant parents, Wood started acting at age four and was given a co-starring role at age 8 in Miracle on 34th Street (1947). As a teenager, she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in Rebel Without a Cause (1955), followed by a role in John Ford’s The Searchers (1956). Wood starred in the musical films West Side Story (1961) and Gypsy (1962), and received nominations for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her performances in Splendor in the Grass (1961) and Love with the Proper Stranger (1963). Her career continued with films such as Sex and the Single Girl (1964), Inside Daisy Clover (1965), and Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969).
During the 1970s, Wood began a hiatus from film and had two daughters: one with her second husband Richard Gregson, and one with Robert Wagner, her first husband whom she married again after divorcing Gregson. She acted in only two feature films throughout the decade, but appeared slightly more often in television productions, including a remake of From Here to Eternity (1979) for which she won a Golden Globe Award.
Wood’s films represented a “coming of age” for her and for Hollywood films in general.
Some of Natalie Wood’s movies that have stood the test of time are Miracle on 34th Street, Rebel Without a Cause, The Searchers, Splendor in the Grass, West Side Story, This Property Is Condemned, The Candidate, and The Last Married Couple in America. Wood’s other movies that endeared her to millions of her fans are The Green Promise, Never a Dull Moment, The Jackpot, The Silver Chalice, The Burning Hills, A Cry in the Night, Sex and the Single Girl, and Meteor.
Critics have suggested that her cinematic career represents a portrait of modern American womanhood in transition, as she was one of the few to take both child roles and those of middle-aged characters.
Wood died off of the coast of Santa Catalina Island on November 29, 1981, at age 43, during a holiday break from the production of her would-be comeback film Brainstorm (1983) with Christopher Walken.
The events surrounding her death have been the subject of conflicting witness statements, prompting the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, under the instruction of the coroner’s office, to list her cause of death as “drowning and other undetermined factors” in 2012.
Wood, 43, was on a yacht with her actor-husband Robert Wagner, co-star Christopher Walken and the boat captain on Thanksgiving weekend in 1981 before somehow ending up in the water. A dinghy that had been attached to the boat was found along the island’s shoreline, but investigators could not locate it to review it last year. Investigators initially reported that there were scratches on its hull, but Wood’s fingernails were not preserved for analysis. The initial autopsy report said it was likely the bruises happened when Wood drowned. “Most of the bruises on the body are superficial and probably sustained at the time of drowning,” the initial autopsy report stated.
Nancy Patricia Pelosi (born March 26, 1940) is an American politician serving as speaker of the United States House of Representatives since 2019, and previously from 2007 to 2011. Pelosi was born in Baltimore to an Italian American family. She was the only daughter and the youngest of seven children of Annunciata M. “Nancy” D’Alesandro (née Lombardi) and Thomas D’Alesandro Jr. Her mother was born in Fornelli, Isernia, Molise, in South Italy, and came to the U.S. in 1912; her father could trace his Italian ancestry to Genoa, Venice and Abruzzo.
When Nancy was born, her father was a Democratic congressman from Maryland. He became Mayor of Baltimore seven years later. Pelosi’s mother was also active in politics, organizing Democratic women and teaching her daughter the value of social networking. Pelosi’s brother, Thomas D’Alesandro III, also a Democrat, was Mayor of Baltimore from 1967 to 1971.
Pelosi was involved with politics from an early age. She helped her father at his campaign events. She attended John F. Kennedy’s inaugural address when he was sworn in as president in January 1961.
In 1958, Pelosi graduated from the Institute of Notre Dame, an all-girls Catholic high school in Baltimore. In 1962, she graduated from Trinity College in Washington, D.C., with a Bachelor of Arts in political science. Pelosi interned for Senator Daniel Brewster (D-Maryland) in the 1960s alongside future House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer.
Nancy Pelosi’s children include; Corinne (a hotelier), Christine (an author), Paul (a businessman) as well as Jacqueline and Alexandra. Now on his part, Nancy Pelosi’s husband Paul is a business mogul. He is on the board of major organizations, and manages high-level real estate among other money-making ventures. His marriage with Nancy is over 55 years old and ranks among one of the American celebrities’ longest marital Union.
There’s no denying the fact that the duo was made for each other. See the photo of Nancy Pelosi’s family- her husband, children, and grandchildren below
Nancy Pelosi’s father Thomas Thomas D’Alesandro Jr.
Nancy Pelosi’s Father:
Thomas D’Alesandro Jr was born on August 1, 1903. He is of Italian family roots and was a politician for the most part of his life, with his notable offices being U.S.A representative from Maryland’s 3rd congressional district (1939–47) as well as the mayor of Baltimore, Maryland (1947–59). Until his death in August 1987, the supportive father of 6 had a close relationship with his daughter Nancy who honours his memory with her exploits at Congress.
Nancy Pelosi’s Siblings:
Nancy grew up with 5 older brothers. They include Thomas, Franklin, Roosevelt, Hector, Nicholas, and Joseph. Thomas was an attorney and politician who did serve as the 43rd mayor of Baltimore from 1967 to 1971, while Hector was a court clerk. Both Thomas and Hector are late, while not much is known about the rest of Nancy Pelosi’s siblings at the time of writing her biography.
Nancy Pelosi’s Relatives:
Regarding Nancy Pelosi’s ancestry and relatives, her paternal grandparents were Tommaso “Thomas” Fedele D’Alessandro and Antoinette Maria/Mary “Annie” Petronilla. On the flip side, Nancy’s maternal grandfather and grandmother were Nicola Lombardi and Concetta/Concettina Milio/Million. The politician’s aunts include Verdula Minnie, Jessie Granese, and Mary Cardegna. However, not much is known about Nancy’s uncles. Neither are their records of her cousins, nephews, and nieces.
Nancy Pelosi’s Personal Life:
Let us move on to what makes Nancy Pelosi tick and the nature of her character beyond politics. Did you know that her zodiac sign is Aries? She is assertive, energetic, hardworking, and exhibits intense passion in anything she sets her mind to. In addition, Nancy has no problems with revealing facts about her personal and private life.

HUMAN-INFLUENCED CLIMATE CHANGE
Climate change caused by the burning of fossil fuels is a global phenomenon that is certainly playing a role in what the United States is experiencing, scientists say.
“Climate change is making extreme and unprecedented heat events both more intense and more common, pretty much universally throughout the world,” said Daniel Swain, climate scientist at UCLA.
“Heat waves are probably the most underestimated type of potential disaster because they routinely kill a lot of people. And we just don’t hear about it because it doesn’t kill them in, to put it bluntly, sufficiently dramatic ways. There aren’t bodies on the street.”
Francis, of the Woodwell Center, said with climate change the world is seeing changing wind patterns and weather systems “in ways that make these heat waves, like we’re seeing right now, more intense, more persistent, and cover areas that just aren’t used to having heat waves.”
Alex Ruane, researcher at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said as the world warms, “it takes less of a natural anomaly to push us into the extreme heat categories. Because we’re closer to those thresholds, it’s more likely that you’ll get more than one heat wave at the same time. We’re seeing this in the United States.”
An Emerald Society is an Irish-American fraternal organization whose members come from law enforcement, fire service, and non-uniform civil service agencies. Each Emerald Society is separate and distinct from the other. Currently, there are two umbrella Emerald organizations such as the Grand Council of United Emerald Societies (GCUES), reorganized in 1975, and the National Conference of Law Enforcement Emerald Societies (NCLEES), founded in 1995
It was during the 1950s that the movement for Emerald Societies took hold with the formation of NYPD Emerald Society (1953), NYCD Emerald Society (1955), and FDNY Emerald Society (1956). The movement led to the formation of Emerald Societies not only in New York but across the country
The founder of the respective Emerald Societies, mindful of the fact that the average Irish Organization composed of Irish people from every walk of life, decided that the idea of occupational groups under the name of “Emerald Society” would provide a means of enabling Irish peoples by birth or ancestry, to meet their “Brother and Sister Emeralds” in the same trade or profession. More importantly, it would be a new approach for Irish heritage to continue perpetuating their history, customs, and traditions.
Amazing Grace
Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now am found T’was blind but now I see T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear And Grace, my fears relieved How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed Through many dangers, toils and snares We have already come. T’was grace that brought us safe thus far And grace will lead us home, And grace will lead us home Amazing grace, How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now am found T’was blind but now I see Was blind, but now I see.
The Minstrel Boy
The minstrel boy to the war is gone; In the ranks of death you’ll find him; His father’s sword he has girded on, And his wild harp slung behind him; “Land of Song!” said the warrior bard, “Though all the world betrays thee, One sword, at least, thy rights shall guard, One faithful harp shall praise thee! The Minstrel fell! But the foeman’s chain Could not bring that proud soul under; The harp he loved ne’er spoke again, For he tore its chords asunder; And said “No chains shall sully thee, Thou soul of love and bravery! Thy songs were made for the pure and free They shall never sound in slavery!
The mission of all police officers is to protect and serve, which means that law enforcement professionals play an important role in keeping communities safe. While they, of course, apprehend criminals and carry out the criminal justice process, police officers also prevent crime and provide victim support. The multifaceted role that police play has evolved over time, but since its formation centuries ago, law enforcement has been a central part of state, local and federal governments in the U.S.

The Coat of Arms of Pope Francis EXPLANATION OF THE COAT OF ARMS
“miserando atque eligendo“
Banner of the Pontifical Swiss Guard with Pope Francis’ coat of arms
Unusually, Francis also decided to retain his personal motto: Miserando atque eligendo. It is taken from the 21st homily of Saint Bede, which is on the Gospel of Matthew and refers to the vocation of Saint Matthew.[2] He writes:
“Vidit ergo Iesus publicanum et quia miserando atque eligendo vidit, ait illi ‘Sequere me’.” (Om. 21; CCL 122, 149-151)
“Jesus saw the tax collector and, because he saw him through the eyes of mercy and chose him, he said to him: Follow me.” (trans. Liturgy of the Hours 1975, p. 1418)
Bede is here discussing Matthew 9:9-13. The salient point is that Jesus chose Matthew as his disciple not in spite but because of his being a sinner. In the Douay Rheims translation:
And when Jesus passed on from hence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.
And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.
And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?
But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill.
Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the just, but sinners.
The statement from the Vatican announcing the Pope’s coat of arms and motto explained that the phrase had a special meaning for Francis as he felt it recalled his own vocation, when at the age of 17, he went to confession on St Matthew’s day in 1953.
The Paul VI Audience Hall also known as the Hall of the Pontifical Audiences is a building in Rome named for Pope Paul VI with a seating capacity of 6,300, designed in reinforced concrete by the Italian architect Pier Luigi Nervi and completed in 1971. It was constructed on land donated by the Knights of Columbus.

Israel Palestine conflict explained: A simple timeline and map
Despite international attempts to broker a ceasefire, conflict in the region is intensifying, with civilian casualties increasing and concerns of a full-blown humanitarian crisis mounting. On Monday, Israel conducted dozens of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, after Palestinian militants fired barrages of rockets at southern Israeli cities in the latest fighting. But while this marks some of the worst violence seen in the region, the history of the conflict goes back decades.
A timeline of the conflict
1920
Britain takes control of the region known as Palestine after the Ottoman Empire is defeated in World War One. At this time, the land is inhabited by an Arab majority, with a Jewish minority, but without conflict
1920s to 1940s
Britain begins establishing a ‘national home’ for Jews in the region as more and more Jewish people flee persecution in Europe. This leads to an increase in tensions between the groups – the area is seen as the ancestral home of both Jews and Arabs, with both groups claiming rights to the land. After World War Two as more Jews flee to the region, violence between the groups grows, as well as against British rule.
1947
The UN votes for Palestine to be split into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem becoming an international city. (The move is accepted by Jewish leaders but rejected by the Arab side and never implemented. What this means is people thought the treaty with England left them in control, but not how it turned out. Still laws in effect, think of it like how they tricked the 13th Amendment. More on this later)
1948
Unable to solve the problem, British rulers leave the region. The state of Israel is created by Jewish leaders. Palestinians object to the creation of Israel and a war follows, with neighboring Arab countries forming a coalition with Palestinian factions. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians flee or are forced out of their homes in what they call Al Nakba, or the ‘Catastrophe’.
1949
The fighting ends in a ceasefire, and Israel controls most of the territory. Jordan occupies land which became known as the West Bank, and Egypt occupied Gaza. Jerusalem is divided between Israeli forces in the West, and Jordanian forces in the East. Without a peace agreement, tensions continue simmering.
1967
The “Six-Day War” begins with Israeli warplanes striking Egyptian airfields and Israeli ground forces entering the Sinai Peninsula. Jordan joins the fighting alongside Egypt, but Israeli forces have the upper hand and take control of the Gaza Strip, Sinai, the West Bank, the Golan Heights and predominantly Arab East Jerusalem. Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians flee or are displaced. None of the Palestinians displaced – or their descendants – have ever been allowed to return home, as Israel said it would overwhelm the country and threaten its existence as a Jewish state.
1973
A coalition of Arab nations, led by Egypt and Syria, launch a surprise attack on Israel. The Arab forces initially gain ground, but are driven back by an Israeli counter-offensive aided by supplies from allies, including the United States.
1978
A peace deal between Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, known as the Camp David accords, is brokered on September 17 by USA President Jimmy Carter. Potential Palestinian peace proposals are discussed, but never carried out.
1987
A Palestinian uprising – or intifada – erupts, bringing clashes and protests in the West Bank, Gaza and Israel. The unrest continues on and off for years, with many lives lost on both sides.
1993
The first of two pacts, known as the Oslo accords, is signed between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), setting out a peace process. Left unresolved, however, were key issues such as Israeli settlements in the West Bank and the status of Jerusalem, which is viewed by the Palestinians as the capital of any future state, meaning peace was still not achieved.
2000
Another Palestinian intifada begins after a visit by right-wing Israeli political figure Ariel Sharon to a compound in Jerusalem venerated in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. Clashes and violence continue until 2005, leaving hundreds of dead on both sides.
2006
The Palestinian militant group Hamas wins elections in Gaza, leading to political strains with the more moderate Fatah party controlling the West Bank.
2008
Israel begins three weeks of attacks on Gaza after rocket barrages into Israel by Palestinian militants, who are supplied by tunnels from Egypt. More than 1,110 Palestinians and at least 13 Israelis are killed.
2012
Israel kills Hamas military chief Ahmed Jabari, triggering more than a week of rocket fire from Gaza and Israeli airstrikes. At least 150 Palestinians and six Israelis are killed.
2014
Hamas militants kill three Israeli teenagers kidnapped near a Jewish settlement in the West Bank, prompting an Israeli military response. A seven-week conflict leaves more than 2,200 Palestinians dead in Gaza. In Israel, 67 soldiers and six civilians are killed.
2017
The Trump administration recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and announces that it plans to shift the US Embassy from Tel Aviv, stirring outrage from Palestinians.
2018
Protests take place in Gaza along the fence with Israel, including demonstrators hurling rocks and gasoline bombs across the barrier. Israeli troops kill more than 170 protesters over several months.
2021
Tensions rise in Jerusalem during Ramadan, with Palestinians saying Israeli police imposed unnecessarily harsh restrictions on them during their month of fasting. Israeli policing of Palestinians leads to the use of CS gas and stun grenades inside al-Aqsa mosque, a holy site for both Muslims and Jews. Palestinians are threatened with eviction from their homes in Sheikh Jarrah – a Palestinian neighborhood outside the walls of the Old City – with land and property claimed by Jewish settler groups in the Israeli courts. Hamas issues an ultimatum to Israel to remove its forces from the al-Aqsa compound and from Sheikh Jarrah, and fires rockets at Jerusalem, which is met with resistance by Israel and fighting begins.

Gaza War one year on: How the bloody conflict between Israel and Hamas escalated
On 30 June 2014, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) recovered the bodies of three dead teenagers, Jewish settlers who had gone missing in the West Bank two weeks earlier. As the bodies of Naftali Frenkel, Gilad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach were were being formally identified, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave an unequivocal statement.
“Hamas is responsible. Hamas will pay,” he said, adding the three teenagers “were kidnapped and murdered in cold blood by wild beasts”.
Just over two weeks later, four children aged between nine and 11 lay dead after they were struck by shells from an Israeli ship while playing football on a Gaza beach. Within eight days of the outset of Operation Protective Edge, the Israeli military operation mounted against Gaza, 220 Palestinians including the four cousins, Ahed Bakr, Zakaria Bakr and two other boys from the Bakr family, both named Mohammed, had been killed in Israeli shelling.

The 2014 war lasted seven weeks and cost thousands of lives, the vast majority of them Palestinian. UN figures have put the number of Israeli civilians killed in the conflict at six, with military casualties at 67. A total of 2,251 Palestinians were reportedly killed in Gaza, most of them civilians including 551 children. Roughly 18,000 homes in Gaza were destroyed over the course of the war. The IDF has said armed groups in Gaza fired 4,564 rockets at Israel over 50 days of the conflict. Of these, 224 hit built-up areas. In response, the Israeli military claims to have hit 5,226 targets in Gaza, including 1,814 targets linked to rocket firing, 109 weapons depots, and 85 weapon-making facilities.
Israel’s stated aim during the 2014 conflict was the destruction of tunnel networks used by Hamas, 14 of which entered Israel. It said all 32 of the tunnels it identified across Gaza were destroyed.
The UN has been damning of the conflict, saying the “devastation was unprecedented”. It has accused Israel and Hamas of a string of serious violations of humanitarian and international law, which may amount to war crimes. The international community condemned both Israel and Hamas over the course of the confrontation. Prime Minister David Cameron warned Israel it was “wrong and illegal” to target civilians and former deputy prime minister Nick Clegg accused Israel of collective punishment of the people of Gaza. On 3 August, Israeli ground forces that entered Gaza in mid-July began withdrawing following the destruction of the Hamas tunnels and the arrest of one of the suspects in the killing of the three Israeli teenagers. Following a series of broken ceasefires, the war finally came to a close on 26 August when a month-long Egypt-brokered truce was agreed to.
In articles for IBTimesUK one member of the Israeli community on the border with Gaza that faced Hamas rocket attacks and a Palestinian journalist who faced Israeli shelling in the line of work write of their experience during the war and how the seven weeks of violence have reverberated through their own lives.
“The war in 2014 not only took lives but had a devastating impact on individuals and their mental health. The best example I can share is the story of a 19-year-old Palestinian man whose two brothers were killed in the war, leaving their wives and children behind to mourn them. His father married him to both of his brothers’ widows to protect their children,” writesMousheera Jammal.
“We have been in this land since 1967. We are not in Hebron or other settlements. This is Israeli land. They have their land. Everyone wants to live in peace but the politics does not let the civilians live their lives. Hamas started the war and then the people of Gaza had to deal with its consequences. That is not fair, but what can we do?” asks Janet Svirzenski.

IDF, what does that mean?
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF; Hebrew: צְבָא הַהֲגָנָה לְיִשְׂרָאֵל Tsva ha-Hagana le-Yisra’el; lit. ’The Army of Defense for Israel’), commonly referred to by the Hebrew-language acronym Tzahal (צה״ל), are the combined military forces of the State of Israel, consisting of three branches: the Israeli Ground Forces, the Israeli Air Force, and the Israeli Navy.[3] It is the sole military wing within the Israeli security forces, and has no civilian jurisdiction within Israel. The IDF is headed by the Chief of the General Staff, who is subordinate to the Israeli Defense Minister.
An order from David Ben-Gurion on 26 May 1948 officially set up the IDF as a conscript army formed from the ranks of the Haganah, Irgun, and Lehi paramilitary organizations of the Yishuv.
The IDF has participated in all of the armed conflicts involving Israel since its independence. According to the think-tank organization GlobalSecurity.org, the number of wars and border conflicts in which the IDF has been involved in throughout its short history makes it one of the most battle-trained armed forces in the world.[4]
While it originally operated on three fronts—against Lebanon and Syria in the north, Jordan and Iraq in the east, and Egypt in the south—the IDF has shifted its focus primarily to southern Lebanon and the Palestinian Territories since the signings of the 1979 Egypt–Israel peace treaty and the 1994 Israel–Jordan peace treaty, with some incidents occurring across its border with Syria due to instability caused by the ongoing Syrian Civil War.
The IDF is unique amongst the militaries of the world due to its regulated conscription of women since its formation.
It is one of the most prominent institutions in Israeli society due to its influence on the country’s economy, culture, and political scene. The IDF uses several technologies developed within Israel, with many of them made specifically to cater to its needs in its operational environment in the Levant, such as the Merkava main battle tank, the Achzarit armored personnel carrier, the Iron Dome air defense system, the Trophy active protection system for vehicles, and the Galil and Tavor assault rifles.
Since 1967, the IDF has had close military relations with the United States, including in development cooperation, such as on the F-15I jet, the THEL laser defense system, and the Arrow missile defense system. The IDF is believed to have had an operational nuclear weapons capability since 1967, possibly possessing between 80 and 400 nuclear warheads, with its delivery systems forming a nuclear triad of plane-launched missiles, Jericho III intercontinental ballistic missiles, and submarine-launched cruise missiles.
