HUMAN RICHTS VIOLATED AT SEABROOK

The obvious solution for New Hampshire would be to hasten the construction of the Seabrook nuclear plant; this would provide more than 2,000 MW of pollution-free power, relieve the power plants burning expensive and polluting oil, and reduce the need for burning wood.

But such solutions are proposed only by those who are afflicted with sanity; the full-blooded environmentalists scaled the walls of the Seabrook construction site to spare their fellow citizens the anguish of clean and safe power. When they were found guilty of criminal tresspass last December in a Hampton, N.H., court, one was restrained from singing as part of her statement, another read from an anti-capitalist magazine how the real killers in society are the police, the corporations and nuclear power, and both were restrained when they exited the court by leapfrogs. So we read in the N.H. Foster's Daily Democrat (12/4/ 78).

The true background of Seabrook, however, was revealed by that old stalwart of human rights and upright journalism, Pravda. On Sept. 23, 1978, it brought a photo of N.H. State Troopers arresting the tresspassers under the heading The Society of Violated Rights: Behind the Facade of "Democracy" with the following text: "Police truncheons and arrests is what the constitutional right to assembly is 'guaranteed' by. Protesters learned this by experience in Seabrook (New Hampshire. USA) when they condemned the arms race and the development of new types of nuclear weapons (see photo below). Here you have an illustration of where it is that human rights are being denied."

And you thought Seabrook was a power plants did you?

Alas, it is not just Pravda hunting for ostensible human rights violations everywhere but the colonies of the Soviet Empire; the US electronic networks can be just as diligent, not to mention the big dailies such as the New York Times and the Christian Science Monitor, both Laureates of Free Speech Prizes awarded by the late Jim Jones of the Guyana Marxist colony, before the Great Massacre (and the tragic survival of Mark Lane).

Which takes us too far away from energy in New Hampshire: For details on how the US press perverts the human rights issue, see the Feb. I AIM Report, available from Accuracy in Media, 777 14th St. NW/# 427, Washington, D.C., 20005, at $15/year one of the most informative newsletters around.
