Dr. David Suzuki speaks at a "Stand Up For Science" rally in Vancouver BC. Things sure get hot in this presentation folks! Dr. Suzuki speaks of the importance of science in this rapidly changing world to ensure decisions are made wisely in affairs effecting our environment & the well-being of future generations of humanity. We are currently undermining the very things which keep us alive and healthy. Decisions must be made on facts, not on the wishes of private interest groups as we are now altering the chemistry, the physics and the biology of the biosphere on a geological scale . Dr. Suzuki tells it like it is accusing our government of "willful blindness". By muzzling scientists & restricting research our government is committing an intergenerational crime, affecting the well-being of humanity for many generations to come..

Nuclear Hotseat #118: The WHO/IAEA Unholy Alliance and its Lies about Int'l Nuclear Health Stats | Nuclear Hotseat




How the World Health Organization came under the domination of the pro-nuclear International Atomic Energy Agency – the first of two exclusive Nuclear Hotseat reports on the unholy alliance that underlies our global misunderstandings of the dangers of nuclear radiation.


INTERVIEW:  Special full-length interview with Alison Katz of Independent WHO on the history, politics and criminal negligence of the World Health Organization.  She is a sociologist and psychologist who worked for WHO for 18 years and now is a spokesperson for the organization that wants WHO to do its job regarding nuclear dangers and international public health.  Even if you think you understand this issue, you will be shocked by the specific instances where WHO has abdicated its power.  You’ll also be inspired by an international tactic Katz proposes that has the potential to turn this issue around.
