Doubt is Their Product: How Industry's Assault on ScienceThreatens Your Health

http://www.amazon.com/Doubt-Their-Product-Industrys-Threatens/dp/019530067XDear Friends Researching and Resisting Xenobiotic EMR:As you know, for 20 years I've advised communities to rely on actual scientificconclusions rather than the mass media's unscientific conclusion of "uncertainty"regarding the hazardous nature of xenobiotic EMR. While based in the primaryscience, this advice also responds to the public relations tactics I've observed tocome out of corporate thinktanks such as the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis.This corporation, funded by some of the largest and dirtiest corporations on theplanet, had bought the rights to use the name Harvard, but is in fact

*not*

financially related to Harvard University. In some circles, the Center for RiskAnalysis has given the University a bad name. I've observed and frequentlydeconstructed this corporate thinktank's use of a wide variety of tactics, includingillogic intended to fool even the most rigorous of scientific minds.For this reason I share with you another's observation of the untruthful, public-fooling tactic: doubt or uncertainty. (See book, above.)Many people believe they sound more humble and appealing claiming as themajor media do that the scientific community is uncertain about EMR; which claimis blatantly false. They think they will more successfully win over the public andsucceed in their legal battles using this industry tactic. Nothing could be further from the truth, as proven from long, direct experience on the ground of resistingwireless technologies and chemical corporations. Remember, the major mediaARE the telecommunications industry!I have watched a devoted gentleman with a double PhD and 6-7 masters deploypublicly in writing Heidegger's Uncertainty Principal, thinking it would protect hischildren in a school next to prospective church antennas. He lost.I watched while thinking people in Concord, MA let themselves be quoted in amagazine as believing the science were "uncertain". They not only lost, butcaused others to lose, as well.A group in Newton Lower Falls lost because they went on and on to the local TVstation about how "uncertain" they thought scientists were; while those in the verynext door community of Newton Upper Falls cited scientific studies proving thehazard, and won against all odds.Many other communities cited the Precautionary Principal, not aware of the actuallanguage of that international law, and lost because their "strongest" foot-forwardwas "uncertainty"!
