The yellow monster

  In fact it should have stayed exactly where it was   in the first place... in the ground. That the mining   companies understand very well the hazards of it   all is already obvious by the fact that they don't   want to bother to cover the sites up after and put   themselves in danger doing that. And not   informing communities about the dangers is   probably out of fear for claims. We know that   unnaturally high radioactivity causes damage to   DNA thus cancer and serious birthdefects because   uranium attract heavy metals and heavy metals   are always toxic.

  But now for the victims of the mining, the atomic   tests and the storage of nuclear waste in America.

  Most nuclear tests conducted by the US Army during the Cold War have been in the state of   Nevada. Nevada has seriously affected Western Soshone communities. It would have been   absolutely unthinkable if it they had been tested near Carson City, the capital of nevada but   somehow the US Army didn't think Indian communities would count or are in any way important   or they wouldn't have done it that way. Like the French didn't care about testing on the island   of Mururoa and declared it "uninhabited" because it was only inhabited by "natives who lived   on fish and coconuts". Oh yes, how we all love to say that all people are equal, but in practice   and harsh reality it seems that some are more "equal" than others which cannot even make   any sense to be using a word like equal about.
