It’s all very well the apologists of Albright and Wilson promoting how wonderful this chemical was when it clearly brought death and injury to the area, and if the Germans had been lucky in World War Two and hit this factory, Oldbury would have been totally destroyed and massive loss of life would have ensued. The victors of war get to write its history, and we have seen plenty of bullshit about the importance of this industrial pariah since the 1940’s.
I have covered the properties of white phosphorus in many blog posts on this website and offered rare historic evidence of how this deadly poison was misused right from the start of its finding by Hennig Brand. I have tended to stick with the industrial legacy and its effects on victims, both human and animal, and the first hand experience that I have had with it poisoning birds in my back yard.
A recent video post on youtube however is a must watch in terms of the use of this chemical weapon in theatres of war. There are some good youtube videos on p4 about properties and experiments, but this video focusses on anecdotal testimony of those burnt by the chemical weapon in Middle East conflicts, and perhaps lays to rest the infantile idea that “good guys” use white phosphorus for smokescreens, and “bad guys” use it for maiming civilians. Such ludicrous patriotism that exists in the USA and also its allies such as Israel has seen it used repeatedly illegally , caveated by semantic rhetoric and denials where the evidence is blindingly obvious that it has been used against civilians unlawfully.
Unfortunately, as we have seen very recently, the Western political class meddles and gets involved in conflicts that have nothing to do with it acting as armouring Iagos to poison the world with war and fuel their military/industrial complex, whilst also knowingly increasing the cost of oil to screw us all again as they attempt to reset the green/industrial complex that they have invested their personal wealth in.
SEE THROUGH THE SMOKESCREEN, SEE CLEARLY THEIR LIES……
