<strong>The</strong> <strong>Big</strong> <strong>Lie</strong>” 9/<strong>11</strong> <strong>and</strong> the <strong>Government</strong>’s<br />

<strong>Complicity</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>Mass</strong> <strong>Murder</strong><br />

sailors, airmen, <strong>and</strong> cleanup crews took to the test<strong>in</strong>g grounds <strong>and</strong> conducted<br />

drills <strong>and</strong> maneuvers just after atomic devices were exploded, <strong>and</strong> were exposed<br />

to high levels of ioniz<strong>in</strong>g radiation at test<strong>in</strong>g ranges <strong>in</strong> the Pacific <strong>and</strong> also <strong>in</strong> New<br />

Mexico <strong>and</strong> Nevada. Support personnel <strong>and</strong> clean up crews were also<br />

overexposed to ioniz<strong>in</strong>g radiation from the detonation sites.<br />

Defense Department films from the era show soldiers with no protective gear <strong>and</strong><br />

no gas masks be<strong>in</strong>g brushed off of fallout with common straw brooms. Other<br />

films show the troops with<strong>in</strong> the shadow of the atomic mushroom cloud still<br />

ris<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> their very near vic<strong>in</strong>ity, as well as be<strong>in</strong>g swept with fallout dust from the<br />

blast waves. <strong>The</strong> atomic tests conducted with U.S. military personnel were larger<br />

<strong>in</strong> explosive yield <strong>and</strong> also <strong>in</strong> emitted radiation than the two atomic weapons<br />

dropped on Hiroshima <strong>and</strong> Nagasaki <strong>in</strong> 1945. Personal radiation exposure badges<br />

were primitive <strong>and</strong> imprecise <strong>and</strong> are now presumed to have led to<br />

overexposures. 20 <strong>The</strong> soldiers <strong>and</strong> airmen flew test<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> sampl<strong>in</strong>g aircraft,<br />

marched, <strong>and</strong> conducted simulated combat operations among the fallout <strong>and</strong><br />

worked with<strong>in</strong> the radioactive area of ground zero, without protective cloth<strong>in</strong>g or<br />

respiratory devices. Several blasts were conducted that exposed soldiers <strong>and</strong><br />

airmen to heavy doses of dangerous ioniz<strong>in</strong>g radiation with the purpose of<br />

condition<strong>in</strong>g U.S. troops to the false security of atomic combat.<br />

After many decades of illnesses <strong>and</strong> cancer related deaths, these soldiers have yet<br />

to be fully compensated for their <strong>in</strong>juries. 21 Disabled American Veterans<br />

National Comm<strong>and</strong>er Michael E. Dobmeier says: ''Veterans exposed to ioniz<strong>in</strong>g<br />

radiation suffer debilitat<strong>in</strong>g illnesses <strong>and</strong> disabilities but are treated as secondclass<br />

citizens by the federal government.” 22 <strong>The</strong>se faithful soldiers were<br />

ab<strong>and</strong>oned by their government to fend for themselves <strong>and</strong> to suffer <strong>in</strong> silence. Is<br />

it anti-patriotic to po<strong>in</strong>t out these <strong>in</strong>justices <strong>and</strong> oversights?<br />
