Here is some commentary on that, please.
Helena Nyberg
Helena Nyberg, Switzerland. Representative of a
Swiss indigenous support group.
Rex Tilousi just authorized me to tell
you that in 1990, there was a horrible flood
destroying their corn and everything that they owned,
the animals they are depending on, and that flood
came exactly from the planned site of that Canyon
mine. And also he tells me to inform you that in
that mine, it is the biggest mining corporation of
the U.S. that has 60 percent of interests. It is
Energy Fuels Nuclear, but what is most
interesting to us here in Europe is that 40 percent
of that consortium is held by a Swiss company
and I stand here representing an indigenous
support organization from Switzerland. I hope that
all our friends in Germany and Austria and all over
Europe will help us to fight that mine. Find out
whether your country also is involved like
Switzerland. I know in Switzerland it is Swiss tax
money involved, because it is the atomic lobby that
tries to do something here. If nuclear power is
going to be used in the future, this Canyon mine
will be opened first and mined. The flood showed
that the Grand Canyon Area will be threatened by
radioactive contamination if it is going to happen.
Thank you. This was in the name of Rex
Tilousi.

Thank you. From the Grand Canyon we go
to Africa, to a country called Namibia. . . .
