In 1995 dollars, according to the Department of Energy (DOE) the US spent approximately 300 billion dollars on nuclear weapons research, production, and testing. Today in the nuclear weapons complex there are 10,500 contaminated sites, 2.3 million acres under DOE ownership, and 120 million square feet of buildings. The 1995 high base cost, estimated by the DOE Environmental Management program, to clean up the environmental legacy is $350 billion. That excludes the Nevada Test Site, Hanford, the Savannah and Clinch rivers, and the Columbia river which are considered to be "national sacrifice zones" because the technology does not exist to clean them up.
That was the cost for cleaning up the environment. The damage to the human health not only of Americans, but also to the global population, was predicted by the European Committee on Radiation Risk (ECRR), in a 2003 independent report on low level radiation for the European Parliament, to be 61,600,000 deaths by cancer, 1,600,000 infant deaths, and 1,900,000 foetal deaths. "In addition the ECRR committee predicts a 10% loss of life quality integrated over all diseases and conditions in those who were exposed over the period of global weapons fallout."
The cost to the predominantly black community at Hunter's Point Naval Shipyard in San Francisco is much greater. Navy ships brought back to Hunter's Point shipyard for decontamination by the Navy, after the first atmospheric tests in the Pacific, led to the establishment of the secret Naval Radiological Defense Lab (NRDL) which operated at the shipyard into the 1970's. Secret experiments exposing animals, plants, soldiers, prisoners, and local residents to radiation were conducted at the NRDL, where 550 civilian scientists worked with 65 Naval officers to study the biological effects of ionizing radiation. The radioactive waste and dead animals from the lab were dumped at the shipyard, filled a back bay, and sunk off the Golden Gate bridge in a battleship and 55 gallon drums, contaminating one of the richest fisheries in the world. The community today has the highest rates of breast cancer in women under 40 in the US, as well as high rates of other radiation related diseases. A former City of San Francisco coroner found that every Hunters Point resident he had done an autopsy on, had cancer no matter what the cause of death.

Wow is this just too sad and not sexy enough for any responses? That freakin sucks! Stupid a$$ elites and their games! They've cost us more than we could ever calculate. And I have no doubts that 90%+ of the bad things that have happened or we have done to ourselves and our SHARED world over the last century has it's roots in their ideas and intentions. All of which of course, are about making things better for only themselves.
Now human beings will have to deal with the literal and figurative fallout from those morons for the foreseeable future.

We keep hearing about these experiments on people, decade after decade, and then when something strange comes up, people keep on saying "the government wouldn't do that to us" .
Chemical testing, biological testing, chemtrails, Morgellons, venereal diseases, influenzas, etc.......

If not for all the experiments and toxic waste, way more people would probably live healthy, well past 100.

Finally, a good use for the space program; sending all our toxic waste into the sun. Ah, but I;m dreaming. This doesn;t surprise me, nor would it surprise me to discover that cell phone towers are giving everyone cancer. It can't be anything but intentional poisoning here in the US, the Soviets have long known that certain things carry terrible health risks and won;t allow it on their population, Those evil Russkies!
Care to bet the PTB have a cure for cancer and will never make it public.
These cretins are bent on a eugenics program to depopulate the planet and I think nuclear waste is just one more tool in their arsenal. Just wait til I get my sore-covered radiated hands around their throats!edit on 12-10-2010 by Asktheanimals because: for spelling errors

Most interesting info. Never knew that the ships used in the nuke testing were returned to that military base in San Francisco, always assumed they were sunk after they were tested at sea (detonation area of bomb). Duh, me...hand slap to forehead.
Our government knows full well human/animal reactions to irradiated materials. Can't get past the feeling that it's being done to "cull" us with the least amount of questioning. The testing on humans of all those other things, such as the syphilis at Tuscagee to the latest with Cortex in the Gulf area are covert way's to find out not only how they effect humans (we all know that our scientific community was seeded with Nazi scientists after WW2) but to get rid of us as well. I'm sure Dr. Mengele would be proud.

That is a exellent point my friend,thanks for the reply snowspirit ,we could be all healthy as anything and i wonder if would be in better every day moods ,these days it seems like nobody is feeling well.
Even the youth arent the way they use be ,years ago they would play sports all day long,now they couldnt be bothered.
