Debunking Fumento

[Magnu96196@aol.com]

Hello RADSAFERS,

   Ole fuming Mike Fumento has been off debunking things for a long time 
now----------he has made victims of HIV, GWS and DU, Vietnam Vets and agent 
orange, and even sick DOE workers his target of denial.   Its almost a 
pattern.

   There is much information on Fumento's debunking trails in any internet 
search----to many he appears the corporation and AMA protector.

    The best debunk of Fumentos fumery appeared in the Nashville Tennessean 
about a year back---------after he hit on some sick Oak Ridge workers.   They 
well outlined his past and past Govt connections as well.

    He attacked the sick Gulf War vets on the DU issue.

    DU is a localized problem-----------------but somehow he tends to leave 
out big things like George Bush's oil well use HF to increase 
production-----not to mention in the refiniing processes.     He also managed 
to miss that Oak Ridge and the gas diffusion processes loose a lot of HF.    
And he missed all the HF problems around the Al smeling processes that have 
injured both environment and man for what is nearing a 100 year history 
now-------with cases on the St. Lawrence with Reynolds metals and cases in 
East Germany around Sneighburgh, etc.

    The internalized fluorine toxic effect simply damages cells and this 
damage inceases the concentration in the lymph nodes----------since it is a 
halogen element like iodine--------concentration levels comparable to iodine 
in the body affect the immune protecion processes, as well as damage the 
thyroid, etc.    Agent Orange is in the same ball park with chlorine effects.

   Fumento fumes a lot-----but is not very useful to exposing problems or 
fixing them.
