> So, I would invite you to quote influential German or Austrian or European

> FRANKFURTER RUNDSCHAU as well as from the conservative DIE WELT, which
> like the rest (even STIFTUNG WARENTEST) and unanimously with TV programs
> perpetuate this lunacy (verstrahlte Molke, verstrahlte Pilze, verstrahlte
> Patienten, verstrahlte Piloten, verstrahlte Polizisten, verstrahlte
> Soldaten, verstrahlte Transportbehälter (CASTOR), verstrahlte Häuser
> (Radon), verstrahltes Niemandsland, verstrahlte ...).

> Among others, air crew union representatives cherish to present us such
