During an interview last year, UK Member of Parliament Andrew Bridgen mentioned that one of the campaigns he has been involved with is seeking justice for the military personnel who were medically experimented on and developed Gulf War Syndrome as a result.

“It’s now clear that our armed forces were experimented on by vaccines in 1991,” he said. “They were vaccinated multiple times before the Gulf War. That’s what Gulf War syndrome is.  It’s only shown up in the nations of the Five Eyes,” he said.

According to Mr. Bridgen, it’s affected about a million troops in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK and the USA.

In 2004, investigative journalist Gary Matsumoto, who specialises in biological warfare issues, revealed the secrets of the Pentagon’s medical experiments on US and British soldiers, conducted without the knowledge or consent of the subjects, in the book ‘Vaccine A: The Covert Government Experiment That’s Killing Our Soldiers-and Why GI’s Are Only the First Victims’.  The book contends that an anthrax vaccine containing squalene was dispensed by the US Department of Defence and was the cause of Gulf War syndrome. Matsumoto calls it the worst friendly-fire incident in military history.

In 2007, filmmaker Gary Null, PhD, released his documentary ‘Gulf War Syndrome: Killing Our Own’.  In it, he explored the real truth about Gulf War syndrome and the secrets about chemical and germ warfare that the US government is hiding from its veterans and the public. Dr. Null uncovered the hidden truths about Gulf War syndrome, including the deadly and toxic effects of armour-piercing radioactive depleted uranium, the use of experimental and risky vaccines on over 1,100,000 US troops, and the indescribable chemical contamination and environmental devastation that the military caused during the Persian Gulf Wars.

Dr. Null relied on compelling testimony from eyewitnesses who served in the military, leading doctors and scientists who specialise in chemical exposure, and those veterans still suffering from the effects of their tours of duty.

Gulf War Syndrome: Killing Our Own, Part 1

By Gary Null, PhD, 18 February 2016 (page 1 of 13)

After their service in the Gulf War conflict from 1990-1991, hundreds of thousands of our country’s veterans began suffering from multiple and diverse debilitating symptoms including neurological and respiratory disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, psychological problems, skin conditions and gastrointestinal issues. This cluster of symptoms came to be known as Gulf War syndrome. Independent investigations, including those conducted by many of the Gulf War veterans themselves, showed multiple causes behind Gulf War syndrome, including experimental vaccines and medications; exposure to depleted uranium (DU); toxicity from biological and chemical weapons, oil fires, and other environmental contaminants.

Yet for nearly two decades, the official word from the Veterans Administration (VA), the Department of Defence (DoD), and the White House was that Gulf War syndrome did not exist. The result? Countless returning military personnel struggled for years to have their physical illnesses recognised as something other than psychological.

The latest official statistics compiled by the VA show that 25%-30%, or as many as 250,000 Gulf War veterans have suffered from this life-threatening spectrum of illnesses. The number of deaths attributable to Gulf War syndrome remains elusive, however, the US government has failed to address this critical matter. A VA report released in 2014 weighs in on the disturbing oversight:

No comprehensive information has been published on the mortality experience of U.S. Gulf War-era veterans after the year 2000. The 14 years for which no mortality figures

are available represent more than half of the 23 years since Desert Storm. Mortality information from the last decade is particularly crucial for understanding the health consequences of the Gulf War, given the Epidemiological Research latency periods associated with many chronic diseases of interest. Despite specific recommendations over many years from both the current Committee and Institute of Medicine panels, federal research efforts to monitor the mortality experience of 1990-1991 Gulf War veterans remain seriously inadequate.

How has the federal government managed to avoid taking responsibility on an issue that profoundly impacts the lives of hundreds of thousands of our veterans? Such is the power of the military-industrial complex and the political machine in Washington DC. It seems that as long as the government can deny its role in exposing our soldiers to unproven and toxic vaccines, medications, biological and chemical weapons and depleted uranium, it wouldn’t have to provide medical care to the victims of Gulf War illness. This is, quite simply, one of the largest medical scandals and coverups in American history. For nearly two decades, the American media supported the official position that Gulf War Syndrome was only in the heads of our veterans, while legions of vets and their families were hung out to dry and die. The administrations of George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama, have been complicit in the plot, and therefore stand accused of massive human rights violations. Yet American media denies it completely.

In this special two-part investigation, it will become clear that these claims are not wild conspiracy theories or anti-government rants, but based on firsthand testimony from veterans and years of solid scientific research. All these facts paint a sobering picture of the insidious corruption, lies and negligence on the part of our government, which has, quite literally, killed our own.

The Gulf War Syndrome Plot, Part 2: The US Government’s Conspiracy of Silence and Obstruction Against Gulf War Veterans

By Gary Null, PhD, 25 February 2016 (page 1 of 5)

With only 148 Americans officially killed in action and only 467 wounded, the Gulf War seemed to be a shining victory for our military and its leaders. However, this victory has cast a long, lingering shadow. Today we know that nearly 200,000 of our Gulf service men and women are suffering from a debilitating and sometimes deadly syndrome. The suffering our military personnel have endured from Gulf War syndrome is outrageous in and of itself; however, the US government’s decades-long denial that the illness even exists has compounded the problem tremendously.

Clearly, there is a sadistic irony being played out. We asked brave Americans, whether in the reserve, National Guard, or enlisted troops, to serve in dangerous environments, including Afghanistan and Iraq. We exposed them to biological and chemical agents, experimental vaccines, and environmental toxins — ranging from the byproducts of air pollutants released from burning oil wells to depleted uranium (DU). After they are brought home, not only do they not receive adequate medical treatment, but the government even denies the existence of their very serious health conditions. As a result, many veterans have filed bankruptcy. Their conditions are not covered under any veteran program. A 2015 US Department of Housing and Urban Development report estimates that nearly 48,000 veterans are currently homeless on any given night, which accounts for approximately 11% of the entire homeless American population. Since it is difficult to determine the actual number of homeless veterans, this figure is likely conservative.

Due to the government’s serious neglect, too many veterans are now destitute, homeless, and hungry, having spent tens of thousands of dollars and depleting their life savings in an unsuccessful attempt to relieve their ailments. As former Senators Don Riegle Jr. (D-MI) and Alfonse D’Amato (R-NY) so adeptly observed, “The veterans of the Gulf War have asked us for nothing more than the assistance they have earned. Our refusal to come to their immediate assistance can only lead others to question the integrity of the nation they serve.”

In a recent interview, James Binns, who served as the chairman of the Research Advisory Committee tasked with investigating multi-symptom illnesses in 2008, expressed his misgivings about the conspicuous lack of attention given to the issue by those in our halls of power:

Recently, Binns and his colleagues published a report in the journal Cortex showing compelling new research linking Gulf War syndrome with toxic wartime exposures.

Denying Healthcare: A Culture of Corruption

In a 1994 interview I conducted with Paul Sullivan, one of the Gulf War vets profiled in Part 1 of this article, Sullivan shared with me the roadblocks he encountered trying to receive medical attention for his illness:

Unfortunately for many veterans who get out of the service and don’t have any health insurance, the VA is our only option. And our only option has crashed and burned under the stress of so many hundreds of thousands of vets coming in and looking for help.

Twenty-two years later, have things changed? Hardly. The appalling lack of quality and timely healthcare through the VA continues to be a major issue plagued by scandal and corruption.

In 2014, officials at the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Health System were exposed for concealing the fact that as many as 1,600 ailing vets endured months-long wait periods before being seen by doctors. It’s estimated that at least 40 US veterans died while waiting for appointments. Many were placed on “secret wait lists” designed to hide the unacceptably long wait periods. Recently retired Phoenix VA physician Dr. Sam Foote commented on the lists saying, “The scheme was deliberately put in place to avoid the VA’s own internal rules.”

The issue of unreasonably long delays is not limited to the Phoenix VA system. In 2014, amidst growing pressure, Congress enacted the Veterans Choice Program, a $10 billion program to provide vets with access to healthcare services if they have been waiting over 30 days to receive VA medical care, or if they live more than 40 miles away from a VA facility. While Veterans Choice seemed to be a welcome improvement to the previous system, new revelations indicate that this latest program is shamefully ineffective, leaving untold thousands of veterans with little to no access to healthcare for months and even years. Sources indicate that this recent federal program, which doles out payments to cover veterans’ health costs at both VA and private facilities, has caused numerous problems, effectively preventing veterans’ access to healthcare.

Courageous whistleblowers are calling attention to the downsizing and elimination of important departments, such as neurosurgery and orthopaedics, by VA hospital administrators. These actions have forced veterans into the Choice program in order to cut hospital costs while also allowing the hospitals to reap additional federal funding. The result has been fewer health service options for veterans contending with serious illnesses and conditions. Across the country, reports document the continuation of long delays and bureaucratic barriers to receive healthcare.

In a 2015 CNN interview, one insider stated that even at the Phoenix VA, former service people wait more than 6 months to see a doctor. At the Phoenix VA alone, over 8,000 requests for medical care were found to have wait times of more than 90 days. The ongoing travesty is perpetuated by the VA’s new and misleading system of measuring wait times, which, according to the insider, “enables an official line that’s not consistent with reality,” VA Deputy Secretary Sloan Gibson admitted last year that on any given day across the country, there are 500,000 appointments with extended wait times.

Many employees appear hesitant to speak out against the VA’s ineffective and corrupt policies from fear of repercussions. According to Carolyn Lerner of the US Office of Special Counsel, a body charged with investigating and prosecuting ethics violations and whistleblower retaliation, an incredible 40% of the cases reviewed concern the VA. Dr. Katherine Mitchell, a VA physician and whistleblower who testified before Congress about the secret wait list scandal and culture of retaliation inside the VA, believes the number of whistleblowers coming forward would rise significantly if employees felt comfortable voicing their opposition. Dr. Mitchell stated,

I believe that percentage will go up significantly. The amount of retaliation that’s going on in every facility throughout the nation for decades, if the employees are encouraged that they can come forward honestly, I believe that the VA will be 90 per cent of their cases.

New reports show that some VA officials responsible for these catastrophic failures have not only managed to avoid accountability but are receiving bonuses. Last year the VA paid out $143 million in taxpayer-funded bonuses to VA physicians and administrators. A number of these recipients were embroiled in controversies. Dr. David Houlihan, former chief of staff at the VA Medical Centre in Tomah, Wisconsin, who stands accused of prescribing excessive amounts of narcotics to ailing vets, was given a $4,000 performance bonus in 2014. Another VA chief of staff from St. Cloud Minnesota, Dr. Susan Markstrom, was awarded a $3,900 bonus even though an internal investigation report from January 2014 pointed to her role in mismanaging hospital operations and enforcing a culture of intimidation at the facilities, which discouraged employees from speaking out against the hospital management. Also among the recipients of the performance bonus was VA benefits office director Kimberly Graves, who came under fire in a September 2015 VA Inspector General report for allegedly abusing her authority to change job positions, and in the process, collected $129,000 in compensation.

While previously it was a hobby culminating in writing articles for Wikipedia (until things made a drastic and undeniable turn in 2020) and a few books for private consumption, since March 2020 I have become a full-time researcher and writer in reaction to the global takeover that came into full view with the introduction of covid-19. For most of my life, I have tried to raise awareness that a small group of people planned to take over the world for their own benefit. There was no way I was going to sit back quietly and simply let them do it once they made their final move.

Whilst in the RAF I refused all vaccinations My pal in the US missed out, by accident he tells me, but I deliberately refused, We seem to be the only ones left now 38% had already died in 2003 I learned at a reunion dinner, most had been to the Christmas Islands for the “Atomic experience, My pal and I missed that one too. I’m 88 now so perhaps jabs did my reparted chums no good at all.

Father-in-law died from agent orange during the Vietnam war.

Brother-in-law ex-military expressed to me that many military friends of his never made it much past 62 years of age. Hints to me that fit soldiers should not be dying at such a young age.

“When the people seek a saviour, we’ll give them one.”

In the meantime, the people are glued to the theatrics of fake wars designed to keep their attention off the vaccine genocide.
A conservative figure of 50,000,000 purportedly dead thus far.
The mass die off isn’t expected until 3-5 years after the injection of the bio-weapon.
And what’s more important? Fake wars with fake casualties and which football teams are playing on the brainwashing box.
At least the Germans and French have a semblance of backbone which is more than can be said for the English, Welsh, Irish and Scots.

Whilst deployed on Op Granby I was given all the jabs. I recall that they flattened most of us for 48 hours. Most the jabs were given at the same time.

I was also ordered to take Nerve Agent Pretreatment Set. The side effects from taking these tablets are still with me.

I was invited to the Gulf War Syndrome Study. I sat in the waiting room with another Vet. We’d both been deployed many miles from each other, and had undertaken far different tasks, but we’d both had the same medication. We were both suffering from the exact same side effects.

At the end of my physical examination by a Dr, he asked if I had any questions. I asked: ‘Is there a Gulf Syndrome’. He told me that there were a lot of people showing the same signs and symptoms. The definition of a syndrome.

Hi antiqueandy,
Sorry for what you went through.
I remember they were trying to blame the depleted uranium shells for the illness.
Just smoke and mirrors again.

Those at the top have always treated the proletariat as lab rats, or far worse!

What of the Rt Honourable Field Marshall 1st Earl Douglas Haig KT, GCB+ more honours than you can shake a stick at?

Was he not responsible for the wholesale slaughter of young men in WW1?

Have we learned nothing from true history?

It should have read “the wholesale slaughter of COUNTLESS young men in WW1.”

If Mrs D. is around, she may be able to upload that Blackadder sketch where Haig sweeps up the soldiers with his dustpan and brush.
