Contrary to the fantasies of the architects of a global hegemon, the State is doomed. Technological and economic considerations make it an anachronism. The future is not a superstate, but no state. And good riddance.
The State is turning this earth into a death star.
DU will be used to salt the earth of any resisting population. The poisonous effects of DU are not only known, but exploited.
Want a future for the world? The State must be smashed. There is no other alternative. Oh, I know... you won't be getting your HappyTimeNicenessPrograms, but hey... you'll avoid destruction of your planet...and lots of EarIntestines.
And by the way, "Gulf War Syndrome" is depleted uranium poisoning. Think it will be local? Nope. DU dust travels around the globe.
If I were tasked with writing a science fiction story, I would posit that your species was being destroyed by some other, off-planet race of beings. "Just get these dipshits to kill themselves off. They're stupid enough to poison their own planet...all in the name of some misguided respect for 'the State.'"

What's on TV tonight?
Your society is over. You know this, right?
Your species is in a fight for its very life. Your mortal enemy? The State.

I happened upon the metaphor of earth as death star somewhere on the internet. I don't recall where. Credit goes to whoever first came up with it.
