(San Francisco Bay View) June 29, 2006 - "You are not being truthful about the purpose of your visit to Italy. What is your interest in Diabetes and Depleted Uranium?" the Italian Consul in Bombay demanded to know.

"I am just traveling to Italy to meet with Leuren Moret," the famous Indian doctor answered.

Leuren Moret recounted the episode in an interview June 29th, 2006. She said "The doctor had never mentioned either diabetes or depleted uranium."

The Italian government official was grilling one of the leading doctors in India. This "interview" at the Italian Embassy took place June 27, 2006 in Bombay, India. The doctor had traveled to Italy several times before and did not expect such outrageous treatment. The Consul Denied the doctor permission to travel to Italy to meet with Luren Moret.

The doctor had said nothing about Diabetes and nothing about Depleted Uranium. The Embassy official had just let the cat out of the bag and confirmed the link between the global epidemic of diabetes and the use of Depleted Uranium by the US/UK Expeditionary Forces in Iraq, Afghanistan and the former Yugoslavia.

The official could only have known about the Diabetes link to Depleted Uranium from the American State Department and the source of it all: the Lawrence Livermore Nuclear Weapons Lab, "managed" for 61 years by the University of California. The University of California Nuclear Weapons Labs are the core of the nuclear weapons program in the US, the only remaining Super Power.

The clumsy intervention by a Super Power in the travel plans of a private individual to confer with a scientific colleague about global public health concerns highlights the explosive significance that the US attaches to uncontrolled information about the global epidemic of diabetes.

On May 29th Moret charged the University of California, the Los Alamos and Livermore Nuclear Weapons Labs with engineering the largest global increase of diabetes in history and trying to cover it up.

Fine uranium dust, vaporized into a poison radioactive gas by exploding uranium bombs, missiles and bullets hitches a ride on dry desert winds to circle the globe in days.

Dr Chris Busby, a leading British radiation expert, got data from a nuclear weapons air monitoring facility at Aldemaston, England which identified depleted uranium in the British atmosphere only nine days after the Shock and Awe carpet bombing of Baghdad started in March of 2003.
