Has a New Strain of Agent Warfare Returned? ... warning some disturbing images, not for children

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


These two articles stayed with me overnight … and as I asked myself ….

Have some government(s) released a new strain of agent orange again???

And just the search to understand what the agent orange was … I learned for the first time a few more specifics of evils associated with a country’s governing divisions …

And it absolutely sickened me to sorrowful tears …

Agent Orange is the code name for one of the herbicides and defoliants used by the U.S. military as part of its herbicidal warfare program, Operation Ranch Hand, during the Vietnam War from 1961 to 1971. Vietnam estimates 400,000 people being killed or maimed, and 500,000 children born with birth defects.[1]

A 50:50 mixture of 2,4,5-T and 2,4-D, it was manufactured for the U.S. Department of Defense primarily by Monsanto Corporation and Dow Chemical. The 2,4,5-T used to produce Agent Orange was later discovered to be contaminated with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxin, an extremely toxic dioxin compound. It was given its name from the color of the orange-striped 55 US gallon (200 L) barrels in which it was shipped, and was by far the most widely used of the so-called “Rainbow Herbicides“.[2]


HERE Caption: Ho_Chi_Minh_City, Vietnam – 13 Dec 2004. Babies stillborn with deformities suspected from Agent Orange kept in jars of formaldehyde at Tu Du (Freedom) Obstetrics and Gynaecology Hospital in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.\\\\Last year, Vietnamese victims of Agent Orange launched a lawsuit against over 30 US chemical firms that produced the herbicide for the US military during the Vietnam War. After hearing arguments from both sides on February 28, 2005, a New York district court will decide whether to proceed to trial. Although no link has ever been proven between Agent Orange and any illness, there are consistently high rates of cancer and congenital birth defects in areas heavily sprayed by the defoliant during the war. In 1985, a settlement of $180 million was agreed between the chemical companies and US veterans who had developed diseases linked to Agent Orange exposure.
