Baby Hell

The buried horrors of Camp Lejeune

I have devoted a considerable part of my life to exposing the crimes and I would say evil acts of my own government. I witnessed the mass murders of 911 and I have friends such as Cindy Sheehan, who have lost dearest loved ones to the empire, but until I became aware of this story, no one this close to me has been a direct victim of the wanton and reckless killing machine known as the United States government. I am never shocked by the lies, obfuscation, lack of justice and mass murder. From my 25 years of investigation, this seems to be standard operating procedure.

But this time it’s personal.

Construction for Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune began in 1941 in Onslow County, which is in the southeastern region of North Carolina. The Camp Lejeune water contamination problem occurred at the base from 1953 to 1987. During that time, USMC personnel and families at the base bathed in and ingested tap water contaminated with loving chemicals and industrial solvents, such as trichloroethylene (TCE) and perchloroethylene (PCE) and dry cleaning fluid at concentrations up to 3,400 times current safe levels. An undetermined number of former residents later developed lethal diseases including esophageal cancer, breast cancer, kidney cancer, multiple myeloma, renal toxicity, female infertility, scleroderma, non-hodgkin’s lymphoma, lung cancer, bladder cancer, leukemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, hepatic steatosis, miscarriage, neurobehavioral diagnoses like Parkinson’s Disease and birth defects, ALS, fatty liver disease, infertility, and Parkinson's Disease due to the contaminated drinking water. USMC leaders lied and concealed knowledge of the problem and did not act to resolve it or notify former residents for decades.

In 2009 the U.S. federal government initiated investigations into the allegations of contaminated water and failures by U.S. Marine officials to act on the issue. In February 2014, the CDC found that the contaminated water significantly increased the risk of possibly contracting multiple diseases, though they did not say that the water actually caused any disease.

After many years of causing death and suffering with impunity, The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022 was enacted as a step towards justice. It provides damages for past injuries from the toxic exposure. It is the first such law that provides compensation to the civilian family members of veterans stationed at the base as well as those who came onto the base for work.

In 2009, the first lawsuits were filed against the Government on behalf of military members harmed by contaminated water. As expected, the Government quickly filed Motions to Dismiss, continuing to avoid responsibility for concealing the water's toxicity. The people effected by the poisoning have lived lives of indescribable pain and suffering. They were lied to and brushed aside for decades. This was one of the biggest contaminations and cover-ups in U.S. history. A chemist told the brass at Camp Lejeune in 1982 the water was contaminated with cancer-causing dry cleaning fluid but said they seemed “indifferent”. A civilian water system operator said he was told to send toxic water to people’s homes. A General says he and the Commandant were lied to by the command at Camp Lejeune, while acknowledging no one was ever punished. So many babies died as a result of the poisoning that there is a section of a Jacksonville, North Carolina cemetery called “Baby Heaven”

Imagine if you were in command and knew that babies born on the base were dying at an astronomically implausible high number. Why wouldn’t any decent and responsible leader investigate the cause, seek to remedy and administer justice for the victims?

I mean, this was not a Nazi Death Camp, it was a U.S. Marine Corp base. OOHRAH!

Was this a deliberate act of infanticide and Democide? Was this mass human sacrifice?

With The Camp Lejeune Justice Act of 2022, the federal government has opened the door for service members and their families to pursue claims against the federal government based on the contamination. Someone I love very much is a litigant in this class action suit. Her entire family was decimated by the poisoning. Two of her siblings were born on the base and every member of her family has suffered from birth defects or life-ending health issues.

The federal government has set over $21 billion aside to pay victims of the Camp Lejeune contaminated water disaster.

This money, a tiny fraction of the money our criminal government has sent to Ukraine to provoke World War three and keep the blood flowing on the battlefields, was grudgingly forked over after decades of lies and obfuscation.

The deadline for the lawsuits has passed and the cases are expected to be heard by the courts sometime next year. No amount of compensation will bring back the good people who were willing to put at risk their own lives for a government that placed no value on theirs or the lives of their babies. No amount of financial reward will give the victims another chance at life. But there is nothing else that can be done. And if you have not filed by now, it’s too late for even that.
