Silent Storm (Documentary) - 1 of 5

Did fallout from nuclear testing contaminate Australia's milk supply? From 1957 to 1978, scientists secretly removed bone samples from over 21,000 dead Australians as they searched for evidence of the deadly poison, Strontium 90 - a by-product of nuclear testing. Silent Storm reveals the story behind this astonishing case of officially sanctioned 'body-snatching'. Set against a backdrop of the Cold War, the saga follows celebrated scientist, Hedley Marston, as he attempts to blow the whistle on radioactive contamination and challenge official claims that British atomic tests posed no threat to the Australian people. Marston's findings are not only disputed, he is targeted as 'a scientist of counter-espionage interest'. Now, questions are being raised about the health repercussions for generations of Australians.

it never ceases to amaze me the lengths & depths the Government has gone to in it's depravity & evil treatment of the people who have ignorantly trusted them to look out for the best interests of them & their children... They ALL deserve to be hung for Treason as they are NOT a Government as people blindly believe them to be... They are a CORPORATION & the people are nothing more than STOCK or PRODUCTS owned by the Corporation to do what they like with - this is why they can take your child/ren

English don't care about Australia and never did. They wouldn't have wanted to test the effect on the whole continent. They were merely concerned with their own territory in the UK. A few "illiterate" naiveties in Australia wouldn't bother them. Australia still has an English head of state?!!

Very interesting, but really creepy.
