Strange Events A meteorite has flared spec-tacularly in the sky and ex-ploded over the Russian region of Chelyab-insk, reportedly injuring around 400 people. This is not the first time the area has been on the receiv-ing end of spectacular event. In 1957 an atomic bomb making factory in a secret city called Chelyabinsk 88 ex-ploded killing thouands of people. U2 spy pilot Gary Powers was later shot down over the area.

Hopes of a campaign medal

for Britain’s nuclear veterans,

have gone up in smoke.

The Ministry of Defence has

said. there are no plans to

emulate the honour recently

awarded to the World War2

Russian arctic convoy sailors.

An MoD spokesman said:

“Servicemen who partici-

pated in the nuclear bomb

tests were not included on

the list at the latest meeting

of the Allocation Commit-

tee.”

Veteran’s stalwart Archie

Ross who witnessed six

bomb tests on Christmas

Island said: “It doesn’t sur-

prise me. The Government

want to wash its hands of us.

Welcome to Fissionline, the authentic voice of nuclear veterans. We promise to fight, fight and fight again to bring justice for this forgotten army of Cold War warri-ors whose valour is writ-ten in their blood.r blood.

No Medal For Nuke Vets

Top Doctors in Blood Cancer Cover Up The UK’s most eminent physicians covered up deaths from blood cancers in servicemen re-turning from Christmas Island in 1958.

One senior doctor demanded: “keep us out of it” when he discussed with the Admiralty the death of a RN Lieutenant.

According to declassified secret documents released in Feb 2013, the Admiralty wanted to attribute the death from aplastic anaemia, a form of leukaemia, of Lt David Franklin to natural causes.

But this was challenged by his family who in-sisted on an inquest. Medical Research Council

doctors were called to give evidence, but baulked at the idea. A handwritten note records an official in-sisting “keep us out of it,” while top radiation expert Dr John Loutit told the MRC to support him in his wish not to attend the inquest.

An Open verdict was recorded after the coroner said the effects of radiation from nuclear explosions were “by no means a settled and established fact.” The case prompted the government to open a secret file to record incidents of leukaemia and other cancers among nuclear veterans.

Fissionline has limited access to the file which is being examined. More in next edition.
