Subject: I was the first person to activate the batch plant

My Name is Johnny Deardorff then a Sp4 assigned to the Fwd unit based out of Schofield Bks Hi. 1977-1980. I made the first batch of radioactive concrete on the atoll.

I set the generators and made the plant run from April til Sept. 1978 and approximately 270 batches a day in the wonderful 135 degree heat and sun. When I left there they recommended me for an Arcom upon my departure from the fun in the sun, 26 years late 2 senators and 2 congressmen later I finally received it, no glory just mailed to me, too busy for election.

If any body needs pictures or photos of the batch plant and contaminated debris that was brought to me to make into radioactive concrete. I have aerial pictures of the place before it was set up.

I'm an Original Glow by Nighter certified.

If you don't think being in a batch plant full of radioactice dirt and no suit isn't enough, reach down and grab an unexploded mortar left over from WWII or have a Jap J-16 roll off the side of the loader that was emptying the boat of soil and land on the sand beside you. Tighten your shorts get told to go swim for about a half a day and still can't get the radiation off, tell me what is new, now that the worlds back to normal they conveniently lost all of my film badges and dosimeter reports and told me that the only radiation that I received was .0881pico curies from my urine. They are full of Bull---t.

The people admitted in another web site they lied and falsified documents and injected people with radioactive isotopes under recently declassified documents, also 6,000+ claims have been paid and over 3,300 + claims have been denied and over 225,000,000.00 paid out so far.

The people of the Marshall Islanders can't even return to some of there own Islands, because its not safe. Even the United Methodist Church has a web site for them.

The ARMY times magazine made a big deal of the banana suits at the bunker door on the island of Runit on the COLD side of the HOT line. The National Geographics people had their film and footage taken and classified. Hows that for hiding the truth.

People they OWE US. THE Gov't is currently trying to SETTLE with THE ISLANDERS for over a BILLION DOLLARS.

I don't know about you, but I made $200.50 for Six months of HELL.

WE ARE DUE FOR OUR PART NOW, DONT YOU THINK.
