Ms. Garger will be presenting her work along with Dr. Rosalie Bertell and Dr. Janette Sherman on the Trinity Bomb at the Inaugural Unholy Trinity Day on July 16 in Baltimore, MD. We urge all those who are able, to attend this important event:

"The purpose of this event is to shed light on the continuous ionizing radiation pollution and contamination of the United States and other locations throughout the world. The focus of this event will include a most UN-Holy "Trinity" of radiological horrors: (1) nuclear bombs, (2) nuclear reactors, and (3) conventional Uranium Weapons (such as Depleted Uranium or DU) now used in military testing, training, and military combat."


Additional details for registration and attendance are provided at Un-Holy Trinity Day

On the subject of nuclear energy, we are particluarly concerned that as people experience the horrors of the corporate/government crime-in-progress in the Gulf of Mexico and rightly judge the petroleum industry, their resistance against nuclear energy may soften. If we worry about energy sources that pollute our planet, nuclear reactors are clearly the wrong alternative. As Cathy says in this essay, we successfully fought off the nuke barons in the past and we can do it again.

There is reason for optimism. No social movement in U.S. history has been more successful than the people's fight to prevent construction of nuclear plants and to existing plants from their communities. For the few in the pro-nuke industry, the financial incentives overshadow the costs to the consumer, damage to the environment, daily health risks and periodic nuclear disasters. We, the people must return to our very effective battle that shut down nuclear reactors as an energy source in the 1970s and 1980s. We did it before and we can do it again.

The deliberate use of manmade ionizing radiation is an assault upon people, the environment, and all living things. Since the first Plutonium and Uranium nuclear bomb was exploded in New Mexico on July 16, 1945, the continuous contamination of the United States and the rest of the world is like something out of a very bad dream... a dream from which we can not seem to awaken.

Those responsible for seven decades of both domestic and international radiological assault are our own government agencies: the Departments of Energy and Defense, and the NRC (some say it stands for the Nuclear Radiating Committee) along with a multitude of corporations involved in various aspects of manufacturing munitions of both nuclear and "conventional" weapons varieties. Used in military combat, these radioactive munitions have been contaminating the Middle East and other nations wherever they are fired and "tested."

Beyond military weapons applications, energy firms that use nuclear reactors to generate the electricity that powers America's TV sets are similarly polluting our air, water, and soil with these DNA-wrecking poisons. Yet there's More. Always More...
