Dodgy Hacking

rafl@mariannebirkby.plus.com (Marianne ) | 17.07.2011 13:55

Imagine if the dead victims of the nasty phone hacking scandal had more than their phones hacked without consent. Hacked hearts, lungs, teeth?  Outrageous and alarmist drivel?   Not really - this has happened and no-one has been prosecuted.  

Recent correspondence (below) seen by Radiation Free Lakeland from "Special Operations" Cumbria Constabulary has revealed that no one will be prosecuted over the body-hacking scandal carried out by the nuclear industry. For over 40 years  public money in the form of bungs has smoothed the way for the nuclear industry in collusion with government, hospitals, coroners and doctors to carry out a systematic campaign of bodysnatching.

Heads are rolling quite rightly over the phone hacking scandal but despite the findings of the Redfern Inquiry that the relationship between industry and fellow bodysnatching conspirators (coroners, hospital, doctors, pathologists and more)   was (and still is)  "too close"  - no one - not one person, industry or government department is to be prosecuted.   Successive governments have been in collusion with this industry (can it be called an 'industry' when it is bankrolled by the taxpayer?) - the present government is no exception.  

The toxic tradition of collusion between state and industry will not end unless we say NO to nuclear. Despite George Monbiot's protestations there is no other industry that enjoys this level of collusion.

 

REDFERN INQUIRY  - Extracts from Findings  

Obtaining organs 

77  Organs would be obtained at post mortem examination. By law, permission 

to remove organs was required, at least after 1961.18 The organs would 

generally be deep-frozen to avoid decomposition before they could be 

analysed. 

78  Since the levels of plutonium it was expected to find would be extremely low, 

large quantities of tissue would be necessary in order for the results to be 

reasonably accurate. One or both lungs and at least half the liver would be 

taken; several ribs, the sternum, a femur and wedges from several vertebrae 

would be used to obtain an estimate of skeletal burden. 

114  No attempt was made to obtain the consent of the relatives to the retention 

and analysis of organs for the population studies. 

....The failure to attempt to obtain consent from the relatives was inexcusable. 



Below is an Extract from letter sent from Special Operations" - Cumbria Constabulary to someone living near to Sellafield. "the issues you raise which I have listed below;1. That specific people and institutions have breached the Human TissueAct and that this should be investigated.2. That an investigation into whether there was any unlawful corruption ofthe coronial processes had taken place3. The stipends made to mortuary attendants are also of particular concern.This was a Government led review which involved both the Department forEnergy and Climate Change and the Ministry of Justice. As such anyrequirement on the police to investigate identified breaches as outlinedabove would be made by the Government. No such request has been made".
