According to a predictable new study from New Zealand on the effects of the infamous defoliant turned chemical weapon.
A team from New Zealand’s Massey University has now shown that the group of 24 Vietnam veterans it tested suffered significant genetic damage, compared with a similar sized group of soldiers who did not serve in Vietnam, [...]

The debate over small arms is on. As usual, one would be a fool to think the US would be of much help in drafting any sensible international agreement. It’s just not in their best interest to appear reliant on the UN. And besides, who needs gun control when you have carpet bombing and cruise [...]

The annual report of Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI), the so called SIPRI Yearbook for 2006 is out. And the tidings they bring are not very cheerful. Increases across the spectrum, ongoing wars and various players mindlessly arming themselves for tasks they cannot foresee.

Hans Blix offers blistering critique and an uncompromising stance on nuclear, biological and chemical weapons.

In a massive media hoopla in part designed to hone America’s arsenal of terror, in part to show the rest of the world what will happen when they get out of line and no longer wish to play the globalist game, the Empire announced a massive high explosives test in Nevada on June 2nd. Needless [...]

The U.K. will cancel a £12bn order for the Joint Strike Fighter if the U.S. “does not hand over full access to the computer software code that controls the jets.” “Open source” is the way to go, especially in the military world where the urge to install backdoors must be insurmountable. One can also draw [...]

How far can aerosols from the impact of depleted uranium shells actually travel? While it seems unlikely that these particles could travel from Iraq to the UK in under nine days and then register, and the claims have been disputed by British officials, the very hint of aerosol mobility needs to be taken very seriously.
