Toxic Chinese drywall blamed for baby deaths

**Silver Stallion** · 09-03-2010

Army officials are investigating the sudden, mysterious deaths of 10 babies at the sprawling Fort Bragg installation in North Carolina, but some parents suspect they may already know the cause -- toxic Chinese drywall in their base housing.

Spc. Nathanael Duke and his wife, Krystyna, lost their 6-week-old son, Gabriel, in March. They say investigators removed chunks of drywall and carpeting and sent them to a lab.

"They told us the sample over Gabriel's bed tested positive for Chinese drywall," Krystyna Duke said in an interview with WTVD in Raleigh-Durham, N.C. The couple was told, "'Get out of the house, seek medical attention, do not wait,'" her husband said.

When americans allowed the nation's fate to be decided by 'internationalists', gave up their individual sovereignty, and allowed lucre to direct their world-view, what is to be expected?

The Military used to only buy the highest percentage of American made material for Base and base housing projects; big business seems to be the prime mover these days.

It seems like a huge percentage of things made in todays society turns out to be toxic for some strange reason. Especially stuff coming out of China. I have to wonder sometimes if things like this aren't being done to poison us on purpose.

I'm in the construction game and when those Chinese plasterboard products came on the market I was skeptical from the start. Firstly because the board seemed excessively friable, like it would break down over time, the edges were not sealed in the same way as locally made products and the paper facing was different. Secondly their jointing compounds were just weird to work with, like they had some sort of additional glue or resin binding, again a very friable and unstable powder.
Needless to say no supplier of any reputation handles those products anymore, there are lots of Chinese Plaster board contractors around, also floor sanders and Tilers, god knows what products they're using.
Even western building products are poorly tested for safety, MDF and a lot of Laminates and carpets are toxic and they're ubiquitous in modern buildings.

But then it's also possible the infant deaths had another cause and the drywall is just used as an excuse, who knows? Even though I wouldn't doubt that could happen. Lot of the injections given to infants have long been held to be very dangerous by many researchers. (SIDS) Sudden Infant Death Syndrome has been theorized by some to be the reuslt of injections given to infants.
