You know you’re having anti nuclear success when – Roger Helbig comes after you

Christina Macpherson’s websites & blogs

Here’s what Roger Helbig sent me today: ” Your first immediate action is to take my name out of your
e-mail subject line. I have already advised WordPress and I will make
every possible effort to take down your WordPress blog and eliminate
your ability to ever have another WordPress blog.” along with a lot of other threats of legal action.

This humble little website is now in the company of some much more illustrious sites. For example – “It has come to our attention that an individual by the name of Roger Helbig, has been going to great effort to damage our reputation”
http://www.salem-news.com/

There are dozens more .. you see, Roger Helbig makes a profession of harrassing and preferably shutting down, any voices that criticise the use of depleted uranium.

“Lieutenant Colonel Roger Helbig, USAF, Rtd (it appears) is one of a small Pentagon-inspired group devoted to denigrating and undermining the efforts of those drawing attention to the dangers of DU, which three UN Sub-Committees have designated a weapon of mass destruction. Rokke is just the latest in a long line of Helbig targets. Journalist Bob Nichols, Project Censored award winner for his DU coverage, writes, ‘Individuals on web sites throughout the United States have complained about the abusive and aggressive actions of an Air Force Lieut. Colonel named Roger Helbig’.

David Lindorff, another award winner and the (UK) Observer’s David Rose, have also suffered a barage of abuse for stories exposing the dangers of DU

Nichols cites Helbig ‘attacking hundreds of sites and harrassing web moderators.’ Informative DU sites (such as www.Pandoraproject@yahoogroups.com and www.notinkansas.us – the latter’s meticulously researched alerts included the chilling warning of US military in Iraq reagrding bathing in shower water taken from Tigris river: ‘GI’s Beware Radioactive Showers’) are also victims. Researcher, John Ervin, posted on www.apfn.net: ‘They’ve already sent Lt. Colonel Roger Helbig after me.’

Leuren Moret, President of Scientists for Indigenous Peoples and City of Berkeley (Ca) Environmental Commissioner states: ‘Helbig has been harassing me nonstop for two to three years.’ ….”

EVENTS

6-13 July Nuclear Abolition Week
http://www.icanw.org/nuclear-abolition-week-2/what-is-nuclear-abolition-week/?utm_source=General+Newsletter&utm_campaign=b30ba7b66e-Test25_21_2013&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_312c2e95f2-b30ba7b66e-52107513#.UZ178aJwpLu

NUCLEAR SPIN - theme for June 2013

As the “nuclear renaissance” falters and fails, as the uranium market withers, as nuclear weapons become irrelevant to modern day conflicts, – the nuclear lobby gets more desperate to “win hearts and minds” over to their previously lucrative industry.

Foremost in today’s nuclear spin is the need to discredit information about the ill effects of Fukushima radiation. And, indeed, if possible – to discredit, ignore, suppress, information on how dangerous the stricken nuclear reactors still are.

Equally important – the need to discredit renewable energy – keep people’s minds on big nuclear power

The tools of the spinner’ trade are words cleverly chosen – in order to confuse, and minimise the meaning of facts and events.

It’s good to confuse people about the actual state of the nuclear industry – with glowing forecasts about new gee-whiz (super expensive) nuclear gimmicks.

A terrific spin here is on the subject of radioactive trash

The nuclear spinners are good at this. These are the same people who brought you “Cigarettes are healthy”, “Asbestos is Good”. They’re now working hard on “Ionising Radiation is Good For You”
