Hi everybody:

Yes, there is another "Moulder-like" website in cyberspace, WIRC.  See
Robert's message below....

I have examined it.  It claims to be "independent," but its line-up
of "the usual suspects" - people with a record of kow-towing to 
the industry "line" (e.g., Maria Stuchly, Mary McBride) - and its 
failure to be forthright about its funding source (s), suggest
otherwise.....

Clearly, it is better funded than "we" are....  It even claims to have
"a staff" as well as a high-paid line-up of scientific "expertise"
as advisers....   (Oh well, I now have a staff - my son.  The one thing I
ENVY about the "other side" in this EMF saga ... is all the money
("staff") they have to work with....  I cannot even maintain my files....)

Like Moulder, WIRC states that it will consider only published, peer
reviewed research - which means that it is likely to be many years before
it can expect to contribute meaningfully to the EMF debate ... either
way.....  In my quick perusal of indexes, I found no discussion of the
Vienna Statement, for example.  Though I could have missed it.  They
belittle the work of Henry Lai and Bruce Hocking, predictably....
Neither did I see any of the European research work discussed; the Polish
researcher, for example (whose name I cannot spell)....  No mention of
the U.S. Embassy in Moscow....  When you look, you will see (something
every 'political' editor knows) that:  he who controls the SELECTION of
the 'news' ... controls the public perception of reality.....

In sum, the WIRC site has, to me, the "smell" of one of those infamous
industry-lackey, science/P.R. "fronts" of the tobacco industry....

Certainly -- Until the public is given all the facts about its funding --
it deserves to be **ignored**.....  

Cheerio.....

Thanks, Robert.....

I was not aware of this.....  I see no explanation of the **funding**
of this site - or the remuneration of the "expert group and employees"
which they refer to....

It does, indeed, "look like" one of the tobacco industry science/PR
"fronts".....


Cordially,

guru
