Dr. Rosalie's Latest Crusade
More interesting conspiracies from Bertell... Let's see, didn't a judge already rule on this?? Oh well, we shouldn't let the facts get in the way of a good story.

Today, July 10, 2000 is the second anniversary of Dr Rosalie Bertell's
signed, notorized statement below. Jane Rickover also had a
statement signed and notorized [see
http://www.geocities.com/mothersalert/rickover.html] as to President Jimmy
Carter's ONGOING cover up of the
accident at 3 Mile Island which, if all information were to be disclosed
concerning the accident, would have ended commerial nuclear power
in the United States. This would have brought a major slow down if not halt
to commercial nuclear power internationally. This ONGOING cover up & lie can
be exposed only if WE fax and write President Carter, no call or e-mail but
DELUGE President Carter with FAXES and WRITTEN, snail mailed letters to the following
address:
Fax Jimmy Carter at: FAX: 404-331-0283
Write President Carter at:
1 Copenhill
453 Freedom Parkway
Atlanta, Ga. 30307
If anyone can get this to the 1,990 victims of the 3 Mile Island
Accident who are still trying to legally pursue this case and have them
fax and/or write both individually and collectively petition Jimmy Carter
that may greatly help Carter to open up about this. If Carter
still does
nothing, perhaps a demonstration can be arranged at the Carter Center at
this outrageous, contemptous display of utter disregard for
Democracy by the former President and ongoing perpetrater.

Dr. Rosalie Bertell is the President of the
International Institute of Concern for Public Health, and an
epidemiologist by proffesion. She is also an expert in the health
effects of low level radiation. Dr. Bertell received the Right
Livelihood Award [Alternative Nobel Peace Prize] in 1986. She can be
reached at: IICPH@compuserve.com Phone:416-260-3404 Below is Dr.
Bertell's signed, notorized statement of July 10, 1998 concerning the
ongoing cover-up of the Three Mile Island Accident. Remember this
coming March 28th is the 2oth Anniversary of the TMI Accident.Dr.
Bertell's signed, notorized statement says:
"I feel that former President Jimmy Carter should come forth with
all of the facts surrounding the Three Mile Island Accident, especially
those which involved the radiation release and the dose to the public.
This disclosure should, moreover, be in language which can be easily
and correctly understood by the public, and not massaged to hide the
truth.After the accident, for example, I found that the dose officially
assigned to the public, was called: "measured dose to the public from
the accident" - where "measured" meant it only included the dose after
the rate matres were in place the third day after the accident began;
"accident" meant that the radiation dose received during the same time
period in 1978 when the TMI reactors were all operating and there was
Chinese nuclear test fallout, could be subtracted.
President Carter was and continues to be by his silence, complicit
in keeping the true facts of the Three Mile Island Accident from the
American and world public.While it may have been legally although not
morally, permissible to withold this information in 1979 under the
guise of national security needs, now that the Cold War is over it is
no longer credible that the US government protect the nuclear industry
at the cost of the lives and health of its citizens.
As I, Dr. Rosalie Bertell, President of the International Institute
of Concern for Public Health, stated in my e-mail to President carter
of February 10,1998 [enclosed], President carter was and is involved
ithe cover up of the Three Mile island Accident, and in particular the
serious health damage to the people who lived nearby. I was on the
Citizen's Advisory Council to the Blue Ribbon Panel set up by Preident
Carter to investigate the TMI accident.The members of this public panel
did not have FBI clearance, with the possible exception of Dr. Kemmeny
who had worked on the Manhattan Project. The staff, selected from those
who worked for the NRC or DOE, did have such security clearance, and
therefore they were able to withld any information they or their
superiors wanted to declare "classified:, from the Panel. The nuclear
weapon program demanded that workers and the military personnel handle
this radioactive material and the nuclear ordance, therefore health
effects of radiation could be classified for national security to
prevent rebellion.
At the first meeting of the Citizen's Advisory Council to the
Kemmeny Commission, I brought up this potential problem and asked what
provisions had been made for the Commission members to have security
clearance so that they might have full access to the truth about the
accident. Another Advisory Council Member asked who was in charge of
reactor operations during the accident. These two questions were never
answered, and they were enough to cause the dissolution of the entire
advisory panel. In fact, Dr. Kemmeny even stated publicly to the press
that we had never been invited to Washington [although the Commission
paid our air fare and hotel bills]. The Industry Advisory Council to
the Kemmeny Commission continued to function during the invetigation.
The nuclear industry has frustrated the litigation of all of the
serious health claims of the TMI exposed people, in spite of the
Supreme Court's ruling in 1997 that these claims must be heard.Lawyers
for the nuclear industryare gloating that they are "invincible" before
the Courts. Using dirty tactics, they have managed to eliminate all of
the expert witnesses which the victims had engaged to bring their cause
before the Court, subsequently causing the cases to be dismissed for
lack of witnesses. There may be as many as 2,000 people who have not
had their grievances heard by the courts. This dismissal, after the
Supreme Court Ruling, as accomplished througha judge's ruling, not
through the court hearing which the people had been promised. The
people have still, almost 20 years after the accident, not had their
day incourt!
It is my opinion that former President carter should come forth and
make the truth known so that the court cases for the victims can be
reopened. I believe that it shouild also be made a court ruling that
defendants, such as the nuclear industry, should not be allowed to
declare their own witnesses the official spokespersons for a branch of
knoweldge, able to define for the court the methodologies which they
accept and practice as the only legitimate ones! It was such a ploy
that was used to dismiss the TMI plaintiff's witnesses. This is blatant
violation of justice and of the human rights of the victims.It is
especially abhorrent in the questions of health efects of radiation, a
field of public health which was usurped by the nuclear physicists
under the exigencies of potential nuclear war after World War II.
Professional Health Physicists are not required to have any training in
biology, public health or any medical discipline. Their methodologies
are very limited and unacceptable to many professionals in the fields
of epidemiology, occupational and public health.
