Obama allocates $44 billion for Homeland Security to purchase more naked body scanners
By Ethan A. Huff | NaturalNews | February 16, 2011
The Obama administration recently announced its $3.73 trillion dollar budget plan for the 2012 fiscal year beginning on October 1. The new budget includes a more than $44 billion allocation for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to purchase 275 more naked body scanners to be installed at U.S. airports, despite continued outcry from health experts and the public about the machines’ safety hazards, threats to personal privacy, and complete ineffectiveness.
Up three percent from last year’s budget, the DHS allocation is just the start of the Obama administration’s efforts to have 1,275 naked body scanners installed in airports by the end of 2012. The plan disregards the numerous testimonies from security experts who have dubbed the machines “useless,” and say they fail to detect explosive materials any better than conventional scanners.
“I don’t know why everybody is running to buy these expensive and useless machines,” said Rafi Sela, former chief of security at the Israel Airport Authority and expert in airport security. “I can overcome the body scanners with enough explosives to bring down a Boeing 747. That’s why we haven’t put them in our airport.”
The machines are also a huge health threat, as they bombard travelers with low intensity radiation in a way that spreads it across the skin of the entire body. This full-body radioactive blast has not been fully investigated and nobody knows for sure what the long-term consequences of exposure will be.
“It concerns me a great deal,” said University of California – San Francisco (UCSF) professor Robert Stroud in an interview with CBS 5 San Francisco, concerning the machines. “We simply don’t know enough about low intensity radiation. Skin is where a lot of this particular radiation probably will be the most damaging.”

Fake 9/11 Activism on 9/11. “Saudi Arabia was Behind the Attacks”
By Prof Michel Chossudovsky | Global Research | September 10, 2017
There is an element of confusion which has served to divide the 9/11 Truth movement. Saudi Arabia is said to have supported the alleged 9/11 highjackers.
What are the implications of “the Saudi did it” narrative?
It is very convenient to say that Saudi Arabia was behind the 9/11 terrorists. Why, because it upholds the official narrative of the 9/11 Commission Report and it whitewashes the US Deep State including its military and intelligence apparatus.
The official narrative –which has been amply refuted– states that 19 Al Qaeda hijackers brought down the WTC towers, i.e Muslims were behind the attack on America, –i.e. it was not an “inside job” or a false flag.
And now what is happening is that Saudi Arabia is blamed for having supported the al Qaeda hijackers.
And if Saudi Arabia is held responsible, pari passu the official narrative holds, namely the hijackers did it with the support of the House of Saud. … continue

He is wrong.. he ought to know. It shatters the nervous system and the brain who controls the nerves. Also makes the blood vessels filthy. I KNOW… I was cured by GOD of huge doses of radiation. I should have been dead, but it wasn’t in His plan for me.
