I don't think anyone remembers the war that took place not so long ago in the heart of Europe. Apart from those that it has straight touched, or younger ones surviving in the areas of the then war, who so far bear traces of these activities. And speaking of footprints, I don't mean ruins and ruins. These have been cured and are already invisible. And it's not the mines left behind. These besides were yet removed. I'm talking about invisible tracks, but constantly present, causing the victims of that war to die today. frequently born years after it ended.
For those who do not yet know what we are talking about, the war in the erstwhile Yugoslavia in 1990. The all-powerful and omnipotent NATO and the European Union have arbitrarily identified who is evil and who is good and has entered, first instiling and escalating conflicts, and erstwhile the fights have warmed up for good, intervening with their military power. The full war, apart from military, besides had a propaganda side. The war in Europe, not on the forgotten end of the world, is more embarrassing in its image. The "Democratic Countries" had to justify it someway before their societies, so the propaganda device went off and the average citizen did not have the slightest chance to get even a shadow of nonsubjective information. Inquisitives found independent sources and collected information, but only after years independent researchers and journalists could print collected data and analyses.
It is truly worth going to the Swiss Policy investigation (SPR) website and reading how most reports about alleged crimes of the Serbian side were fabricated to justify attacks on Serbia (even if this would imply the request for an automatic translator). As is the case during all war, crimes were committed by both parties, but Serbia's criminal image was produced by the western media on a political request from the US to weaken the function of a country considered an ally of Russia and justify its destruction. Do you see the similarities of today?

Why do I mention these ancient times? 2 reasons. First of all, that long - ended war no longer inspires specified emotions. You can look at it from a distance, read materials that could not be published at the time and effort to realize how the interests of the powers and corporations fuel these wars led by armies and media. So that erstwhile we look at the war and propaganda of that time, we can measure how much is worth reporting, comments, tromtadration and pity in Polish and Western media, which attack us all day, shaping our perception of events. So that we remember that not all that they are telling us is true, but alternatively most of the content that they scope us is not.
Remember, the first victim of war is always the truth.
Almost immediately after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine, access to non-official sources of information was blocked in our country's loving freedom. I remember a writer at TokFM enjoying this fact and demanding an extension of the scope. alleged a writer demanding censorship and enjoying it is simply a sign of our time. And it wasn't just Russian net portals. For example, access to many independent U.S. portals that remained available in their home country has besides been blocked. There, despite the efforts of the administration, the constitution inactive means something. We no longer have the right to choose information and to follow our own judgment. It's worth remembering that There was small in the past of moments erstwhile the good ones resorted to censorship.
The second reason is more detailed, and it's called impoverished uranium and needs a small more explanation. Naturally occurring uranium is simply a mixture of isotopes, of which only 235U is utilized in reactors and atomic weapons as it is the only isotope found in nature to be cleft under thermal neutrons. To get it, uranium isotopes are separated, which for method and economical reasons is only partial. It uses enriched uranium, containing as much as a fewer percent uranium 235. The side product of enrichment is depleted uranium and much more remains. This impoverished uranium can be utilized for various purposes requiring advanced density materials (i.e. a large mass per unit volume). These are usually military applications, specified as missiles and armor. The material is highly dangerous and beyond direct action as a projectile causes many and long-lasting harm to the environment. Repeating Wikipedia:
High toxicity is demonstrated by uranium dust and uranium oxide dust, which are emitted during the combustion of the kinetic penetrator from the kinetic projectile erstwhile pierced by the armor (heat separated by friction ignites pyrophoric uranium). They can enter the body with inhaled air or by contacting the skin and swallowing meals. The chemical compounds of uranium accumulate, among another things, in bones, where both poisonous effects (typical of dense metals) and radiation-derived compounds are much more harmful.
Also, armor can easy be shredded or ignited and products become a origin of contamination. In addition, uranium is depleted but inactive contains trace amounts of active isotope 235. Uranium dust and compounds in the atmosphere can be long distances, so harmful effects happen in a large area. Their increased effect may happen in rather unexpected places, specified as the accidental concentration of precipitation by atmospheric phenomena. Removing them from the environment is practically impossible, but who cares? It has been decreed that the fight is in good cause, and there is immense money behind it, so everything is allowed. True, an global organization (ICBUW) was created to impose a ban on the military usage of depleted uranium, but without the powerful of this world, it remains a cry in the wilderness.

The Western war in Yugoslavia has become an chance to effort fresh toys. The temptation was irresistible. Ammunition from depleted uranium was utilized respective times, leaving environmental footprints for decades. Attempts to hide or pretend nothing happened failed due to besides many global witnesses including bombing the Chinese embassy.
Among the wanted war criminals, in addition to the drunkenness of Slobodan Milošević (died in a five-year trial during which the Hague Court felt that there was insufficient evidence against him) there should be Tony Blair and Bill Clinton. seemingly Rishi Sunak and Joe Biden followed in their footsteps, sending uranium ammunition to Ukraine at the end of April.

United Kingdom military minister James Heappey said that the government had already begun supplying ammunition with impoverished uranium (DU) to Ukraine.
In consequence to questions by Scottish MP Kenny MacAskill, Heappey confirmed on Tuesday that DU's ammunition for the British-produced Challenger 2 tank had already reached Ukraine, but refused to comment on the "use indicators of ammunition delivered" in Kiev, reported Russia Today.
"We sent thousands of Challenger 2 ammunition to Ukraine, including armor-piercing missiles with impoverished uranium," he said.
The weapons are presently under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), and the Ministry of Defence "does not monitor the locations from which the AFU fires DU missiles in Ukraine," he quoted by RT.
Such "support" will no longer aid the Ukrainian army, but it gives it tools to destruct a large part of the country for decades. The quantities of uranium in thousands of missiles far exceed those utilized in atomic reactors or bombs, and sooner or later they will surely be introduced into the environment, and not in a single location like those associated with the notorious Chernobyl detonation that scares us all the time. It is intended, as may be assumed, to usage it in the east part of the country, inhabited by the Russian-speaking population. In general, the thought of utilizing specified a dirty weapon in a country surviving from food exports and providing a crucial proportion of its planet production could only arise in the heads of sociopaths seeking to destruct this country and origin global hunger. From now on, all food from Ukraine is ‘technical’.
Unfortunately, the bad news is not over. As in war, there was an detonation in a warehouse of specified ammunition.
Russian safety Council Secretary Nikolai Patruszew warned on Friday that the radioactive cloud was heading for Western Europe after the demolition of a Ukrainian warehouse storing British ammunition with impoverished uranium.
Several online media late released recordings from a massive detonation in the town of Chmielnicki, located west of Kiev, about 200 km from the border with Poland. There were 2 large explosions that produced a powerful spinning fireball that, like an atomic bomb, developed upwards and formed a mushroom-shaped cloud that was black.
A large condition of uranium reached the atmosphere 200 km from the Polish border. What? Nothing. In spite of my customs, I checked the latest messages on Polish media portals. Silence. They're serving mediocrity, what anyone said, who crossed velocity and, if anything, a girl 11 minutes underwater and alive. This is the most crucial information. The fact that our dear allies have specified fun just beyond our borders is not crucial and does not disturb anyone in Poland. Neither the government, nor the opposition, nor the journalists are concerned. Euro MPs besides have more crucial issues.
Of course, if Uranium ammunition was introduced by Russia, and doubtless it does, all media would be buzzing about it. There'd be talk of a criminal genocide Putin and breaking the convention. We would be threatened by this uranium without ceasing, so that everyone would one more time learn how bad Russia is and how inhuman the Russians are. The Tchaikovsky Ballets will no longer be displayed anywhere in the world. However, this threat has brought on us beloved NATO, so they won't tell us anything due to the fact that nothing happened.
From this story, we can draw any conclusions that have long come to light, but not everyone is ready to admit. First, average people, i.e. citizens of Poland, Ukraine or neighbouring countries, mean nothing to the authorities of their countries, nor to allies. Both the interests of the powers and the large capital put much higher than our lives and health. All smog alerts are smokescreens intended to limit our freedoms, including freedom of movement. No 1 cares about our health, and we are destined for dust whenever the rulers see fit.
Sending uranium ammunition to Ukraine was not a abrupt decision dictated by an unexpected turn of events. This decision has been carried around for a long time. There was no rush or necessity to keep a secret, unless before us, due to the fact that in the military circles the intention was known. It was not a military decision, it was a political decision and as specified should be consulted with all NATO countries, with people in these supposedly democratic countries. No 1 considered us worthy.
Furthermore, we have no right to know what our governments are doing and what the consequences are. There is no more independent journalism, at least in Poland. There are censors and obedient propaganda tubes. All media outlets, as serious news, repeat the mush that respective press agencies have brought in, regardless of the collection and publication of their own material. All they give as their own is crime stories, rumors, and another bullshit without meaning. Sometimes editors print comments from their own journalists, but what if they are based solely on data from authoritative narrative.
OKO.press has chosen cigaret smoking as the most crucial topic. Quite rightly, what we breathe affects our health.
