WARNING FROM RAEL: For those who don't use their intelligence at its
full capacity, the label "selected by RAEL" on some articles does not
mean that I agree with their content or support it. "Selected by RAEL"
means that I believe it is important for the people of this planet to
know about what people think or do, even when what they think or do is
completely stupid and against our philosophy. When I selected articles
in the past about stupid Christian fundamentalists in America praying
for rain, I am sure no Rael-Science reader was stupid enough to believe
that I was supporting praying to change the weather. So, when I select
articles which are in favor of drugs, anti-Semitic, anti-Jewish, racist,
revisionist, or inciting hatred against any group or religion, or any
other stupid article, it does not mean that I support them. It just
means that it is important for all human beings to know about them.
Common sense, which is usually very good among our readers, is good
enough to understand that. When, like in the recent articles on drug
decriminalization, it is necessary to make it clearer, I add a comment,
which in this case was very clear: I support decriminalizing all drugs,
as it is stupid to throw depressed and sad people (as only depressed and
sad people use drugs) in prison and ruin their life with a criminal
record. That does not mean that there is any change to the Message which
says clearly that we must not use any drug except for medical purposes.
The same applies to the freedom of expression which must be absolute.
That does not mean again of course that I agree with anti-Jews,
anti-Semites, racists of any kind or anti-Raelians. But by knowing your
enemies or the enemies of your values, you are better equipped to fight
them. With love and respect of course, and with the wonderful sentence
of the French philosopher Voltaire in mind: "I disapprove of what you
say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it".
Breaking! Korea Government body pressured to withhold info on Fukushima radiation
The inspector’s office examination took place in the immediate wake of March reports from the Hankyoreh and other news outlets alleging NIS involvement in the decision to suspend NIER research indicating that trace amounts of radiation were reaching the Korean Peninsula. The reports at the time were based on remarks made by Yoon during a dinner meeting.During the examination, Yoon denied any pressure from the NIS, saying that the organization “never requested confidentiality” and that he ordered a halt to the research out of “concerns that it might cause confusion between organizations, since the Korea Meteorological Administration was reporting no effects on the Korean Peninsula.”

Research from Mar. 2011 showed radiation coming towards Korea, but was muzzled
By Lee Keun-young, senior staff writer
The National Institute of Environmental Research (NIER) abruptly halted its inquiry last year into the dispersion of radiation from Japan’s Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster after contacting the National Intelligence Service, it was belatedly revealed on Oct. 2.
The institute, which is affiliated with the Ministry of Environment, was predicting the course of radiation from the plant after an accident there following the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami in March 2011.
Democratic United Party lawmaker Chang Ha-na, a member of the National Assembly’s Environment and Labor Committee, said on Oct. 2 that an examination by the Ministry of Environment inspector’s office at the showed NIER research to predict the spread of radiation from Fukushima, and its effects on South Korea, was halted immediately after a report to the NIS.
According to a confidential inspector’s office report acquired by Chang, then-NIER director Yoon Seung-joon (now head of the Korea Environmental Industry and Technology Institute) sent a report on radiation leaks from Fukushima to the NIS some time between March 25 and 31, 2011, after being asked about modeling findings for radiation from the accident.
On Mar. 31, the NIS asked a research team member, identified by the surname Song, about simulation methods. Song responded by emailing a methodology to the NIS via the government mail service.
According to the examination, Yoon directed Song to not respond to outside requests and to suspend the research.
The NIER’s research was also reported on Mar. 28, 2011, during a meeting of Ministry of Environment officials, but the details were not externally disclosed. However, a research team official did appear on KBS morning news on Mar. 25, using the model to explain the relationship between the high radiation concentrations in Tokyo and surface winds.
The inspector’s office examination took place in the immediate wake of March reports from the Hankyoreh and other news outlets alleging NIS involvement in the decision to suspend NIER research indicating that trace amounts of radiation were reaching the Korean Peninsula. The reports at the time were based on remarks made by Yoon during a dinner meeting.
During the examination, Yoon denied any pressure from the NIS, saying that the organization “never requested confidentiality” and that he ordered a halt to the research out of “concerns that it might cause confusion between organizations, since the Korea Meteorological Administration was reporting no effects on the Korean Peninsula.”
The inspector’s office requested a “stern warning” to Yoon to ensure no similar incidents occurred in the future.
Chang said this disciplinary action was a response to press coverage after Yoon contacted the news media.
“This is as good as an admission that there was pressure from the NIS,” she added.

"Ethics" is simply a last-gasp attempt by deist conservatives and
orthodox dogmatics to keep humanity in ignorance and obscurantism,
through the well tried fermentation of fear, the fear of science and
new technologies.
There is nothing glorious about what our ancestors call history,
it is simply a succession of mistakes, intolerances and violations.
On the contrary, let us embrace Science and the new technologies
unfettered, for it is these which will liberate mankind from the
myth of god, and free us from our age old fears, from disease,
death and the sweat of labour.
