00:00Satsang with Mooji
00:30I went to the doctor and they took a little sample of skin cancer and then they had to
00:54cut a large section out of it. The skin cancer doctor told me, he said, what did you do?
01:02And I said, I carried enriched uranium. And he said, where'd you work? And I said, why
01:0712? And he said, well, this is most definitely related to where you work.
01:23We went into a lot of areas to clean up stuff that wasn't authorized. And it wasn't sampled
01:30by the, and sent to the lab to see what we was cleaning up. I would carry enriched uranium
01:38against my chest and go and load it on the machine. Yeah, I was handling hazardous materials
01:46for years. And I knew it was a possible health effect, but I thought I was going to be the
01:51one that got out safe. But I wasn't.
02:05And what does it say? Trump won, save America. Well, I'd hope if he got the message that he
02:13would reinstate it and know how important it is to the sick workers. I think it boils
02:22down to the money. They're saving money, even though they got the program, but they're saving
02:27money by not giving us the benefits we deserve. Hello, Moon. What are you doing, Moon? You got
02:36any feed in there? Huh? But now he's just an old feller. I contacted politicians in the White
02:53House, and I hadn't heard anything back from them about helping people out. I would like
03:01for Trump to see this and understand how important the SEC Board is to the workers, the sick workers.
03:19Somebody couldn't cut his mane and put it on the wrong side. There we go. There we go.
03:311980, I'd say, don't work there, Steve. That's what I'd tell myself. I made a good living there,
03:43but I'm not too happy that I'm this sick. And there's other people sicker than me.
04:01I worked at Y12 for 34 years. I developed neuropathy, kidney cancer, skin cancer, and diabetes from
04:15all the steroid shorts I got. No. No? Oh, you got a meat on his, too. I don't know. I don't know. You ever watch
04:28strilets only black and white? No. Oh, it's good. My dad started as a machinist in 1962 at Y12. He retired in 1994. You know? And he worked there, and about the last year after he retired, he got myelogenous leukemia. And the only way you can get that is exposure to radiation.
04:56That's my dad in Korea. That's him with his truck, leaning on his truck. He was in the Army.
05:03You know, it's sad to see him go. I mean, and then I think back, you know, when I first worked there, I know there was dangers, you know? But I didn't know it was as bad as it was.
05:19Maybe this will break somebody up and they'll see the problem with this.
05:26I've worked on this one in a while. That's the workgroup meetings. These are all the workgroup meetings that have taken place throughout the history of the Panales plant, and there's two or three in each year.
05:49Feeling, you know, that you gave your life for the American way, and America has abandoned you. There is not enough money in the world for anybody to go through those kind of conditions.
06:09I mean, this is hard. I mean, it is hard work, and they usually, they fail.
06:16I get so excited when somebody wants to look at something.
06:24Because even the dog runs.
06:28I originally got interested in this field because my father worked for General Electric, which was one of the original companies involved in the early Manhattan Project and subsequent development of nuclear weapons.
06:41He worked as a design engineer for the Intercontinental Ballistic Missile System and the Nike Missile System.
06:48And in 2000, he came down with a very weird, kind of unusual form of bone cancer that was directly related to radiation exposure.
07:03So in the last six weeks of his life, we couldn't even touch him. His bones would chatter.
07:09They felt like they had done a good job and they had helped win the war, although they've never been recognized as contributing in a positive way to the war.
07:33They're kind of our unsung heroes. If it hadn't been for them, and this is from a very objective point of view, if it hadn't been for them, we wouldn't have had the materials that would have created the atomic bombs and we wouldn't have achieved superiority and security at that time.
07:49And so they believed that the U.S. and these companies would never do anything to hurt them.
07:57And there are folks around today who still believe that even though they're very sick, they won't file for compensation.
08:03They won't file a claim because this was their duty to the U.S. government.
08:07I'm working with folks who are also working on petitions that should be submitted in the next government.
08:35And we can't even guarantee they're even going to be evaluated at this point. We know that they've been submitted.
08:45But we're at full stop. And these folks, these workers, these unsung heroes have waited years to have their day.
08:57And now there is no guarantee they're going to have their day at all.
09:01The bomb drops in recognition of their work, that's what they've got to pin.
09:07His work and, you know, the other thing we don't give them.
09:11So we depend on the board to have work groups with the folks that are petitioning to send information off,
09:19to be evaluated independently, to be able to make sure the workers' voices are heard,
09:25to make sure that all the evidence, they provide a very, I can't tell you how important they are to folks filing these petitions.
09:35Without the board in place, we don't have that.
09:41We don't have an opportunity to have our voices heard or as a petition representative.
09:47It's very difficult for me to represent workers because nobody's listening to them.
09:52They're being dismissed.
