PRESS RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DECEMBER 22, 2012
A complaint has been filed under Section 47 of the Utilities Commission Act requesting an injunctive freeze on the wireless component of the Smart Meter Program without delay. This action is being taken to engage the Commission's administrative function as a regulator of BC Hydro in accordance with the rule of law; only by operation of the rule of law can the public interest in health, security, privacy and safety be factored into Smart Meter Program decisions.
The Clean Energy Act purports to excuse BC Hydro from having to obtain a BCUC issued Certificate of "public convenience and necessity" but not with respect to the wireless and snooping components of the Smart Meter Program. The Commission is requested to issue relief on an urgent and interim basis, without hearing and without delay, so as to effectively freeze any and all activity being carried out by BC Hydro in contravention of section 45(1) of the Utilities Commission Act. Any delay in the issuance of the relief sought will allow BC Hydro to continue with unauthorized expenditures associated with the Unauthorized Extensions. This Action is taken to preserve and give weight to the public interest with regard to the deployment of the Smart Meter Program in British Columbia.

I hope you all will look for news articles, and make comments. We believe there is a good chance of setting a precedent here, and could use support from across the country in the media. CBC last night did a segment on the National which was weak and misleading. Here is a poll where I hope you will vote. And here is a poll. http://www.cbc.ca/news/yourcommunity/2011/12/are-you-worried-about-smart-meter-technology-in-your-home.html and comments here would be most appreciated.
Merry Christmas to all!

Authorities Declare Radiation Suits Safe
Note - This story is quite opposite to the story in the previous edition of WEEP News and you may be wondering, who to believe.
I have experimented with several different 'protective' materials over the last few years and they all have provided mixed results, with some benefits and some problems. Radiation protective materials will reflect / deflect wireless radiation but they can also sometimes act like antennas and should be used carefully. Testing with a good quality radiofrequency meter and following instructions carefully, may save you unwanted RF exposure. The last thing you would want is for microwave radiation to get trapped underneath the garment and reflect back on to your skin.
Protective clothing may help you. Just be aware that there is no perfect solution other than to avoid sources of radiation.

Another comment from a WEEP News reader on Radiation Suits:
"Without these radiation clothes, normal skin can actually reflect most radiation away from the body, absorbing only a small amount". Dr. Chen Qingsong, an expert on electromagnetic radiation at Guangdong Prevision and Treatment Center for Occupational ...

In my opinion, the significance of these newspaper articles is not whether the clothes work or not. It's the fact that millions of people in China currently believe that EMF can effect the child while in the womb and the majority of expectant mothers are trying to do something about it. Here in North America, we place microwave radiating baby monitors right beside the child soon after as it is born.
For those of you that might actually believe Dr. Chen Qingsong statement that skin reflects radiation, while in fact it is the exact opposite, here are some facts for you to consider. Using just the term "Radiation" when describing a health problem in the electromagnetic frequency spectrum is misleading. We are all exposed to radiation, 24 hours of the day, even before electricity was invented. Ultraviolet radiation from the sun can be stopped just by wearing clothes. X-Rays emitted from medical treatment and diagnostic devices can only be stopped by lead lined clothing.
In China, the workers are mainly interested in protecting themselves and their unborn babies from RF (Radio Frequency) radiation. The scientists, the governments and the population are confused in a sea of disinformation. A great deal of manufacturing in China involves the use of RF heat sealers to make products. Instead of using a hot metal mould to form the product, intense radio frequencies are injected into the plastic and the radio frequency causes the plastic to heat and melt. These machines are giant industrial microwave ovens similar to what we have at home in our kitchen. Workers at these plants are unfortunately exposed to levels of radiation that approach Canada Safety Code 6 levels. To these workers, being exposed to the "thermal effect" is an everyday occurrence. The radiation from these machines really do heat their skin.
25 years ago, when the workers complained to their superiors about the danger, they were told that the danger was very low and that only a pregnant woman might have a problem with the RF microwave radiation. Just like pregnant woman should not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes, these workers were told that the microwave radiation was harmless unless you were pregnant, so the custom of providing them with a radiation maternity dress became part of the safety code. These dresses were lined with silver mesh that could block microwave frequencies.
When computer monitors were invented, the pregnant woman asked for the same radiation maternity dresses that were worn by factory workers. The radiation emitted by computer monitors varied but was mainly a magnetic field and the silver lined dresses could not block low EMF. To appease the workers they gave them maternity dresses too.
Then came cell phones, cell towers and Wifi. Now everyone in china that gets pregnant wants radiation clothes. But it did not stop with pregnant women. Men wanted vest jackets and underwear for the cell phones kept in their pockets. Soon after that, fashion designers created all sorts of clothing from wifi resistant children's clothes, evening wear, sports wear etc. Wearing radiation safe clothes is becoming the norm in china. But the term "Radiation" safe clothes is being abused by chinese clothing manufacturers. Microwave radiation is a lot different than the magnetic fields emitted by TV sets, electric blenders, induction cookers and clock radios. Many radiation clothing manufacturers are saying that they block all forms of radiation from magnetic to microwave which is not possible.
So, to calm the panic that is spreading amongst the citizens in China, the government is now saying that healthy skin reflects radiation. The truth is that it is the exact opposite. Your body absorbs most radio frequencies. And you can measure that effect using a standard called the SAR value or Specific Absorption Rate. The cell phone manuals must state the SAR value of the phone. They also say do not touch the phone to your body as it will cause the phone to increase its broadcast power because you body has absorbed the signal. You become the arial for your cell phone.

MRC funds £1.6m research into Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
CFS/ME is a complex and debilitating condition that affects around 250,000
people in the UK, including children. Symptoms include profound physical and
mental fatigue, muscle and joint pain, disturbed sleep patterns and
concentration and memory problems.
Could this really mean that there are possibly another 250,000 severely harmed EHS victims in the UK?

Toshiba tests technology in Stratford
"What this gives us is a platform for innovation," said Paul West, business-development manager for Rhyzome Networks as he held up an LED bulb embedded with a computer chip and Wi-Fi radio.
Can you imagine anything more stupid than having Wi Fi in an LED bulb?
This is just part of the 'microwave madness' that is infecting my home town of Stratford.

More Microwave Madness
Dangerous devices installed throughout Stratfod.
Smart initiatives bode well (for Stratford)?
The people pushing wireless technology claim to be smart, but they ignore the adverse health effects of the dangerous technologies they promote.
That is not smart, it is stupid!

More danger for school childen
The school already had high-definition cameras in place throughout the building, and SAY Security donated cameras for use on the Ada school buses. Verizon 4G wireless service was also installed on the buses so the school can see live video from the buses.

Wireless radiation and Fluoridation
RE - http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0009912011027330
It shows that long term exposure (six years) to both cellphones and their base stations can alter human hormone profiles.
The most significant (which the authors describe as highly significant in the text) are their effects on the thyroid hormones, which show a marked reduction over this period. Although the authors do not say it (I suspect that they dare not if they want to get their work published) this would result in hypothyroidism, the most important symptoms of which are fatigue and obesity.
WEEP reader's comments:
If cellphone exposure is combined with a fluoridated water supply, the low thyroid outcome is even more likely.
See this history of the fluorine/iodine antagonism connection, and the use of fluorine-based drugs to treat overactive thyroid.
Please join the spreading campaign to remove fluoride (from toxic-waste source) out of drinking water.
"This water-based 'wet scrubber' hydrofluorosilicic acid, containing the contaminants, is then taken out of the chimneys and stored in open-air cooling lakes, further exposed to airborne contaminants. Industry produces millions of gallons of this liquid hazardous waste. It costs thousands of dollars per ton to properly neutralize and dispose of hydrofluorosilicic acid, therefore, industry would rather just sell it to you as 'product'."
And then if you're exposed to mercury too... and then the EMF shuts down detox — well we have got to do something about the use of these toxic substances.
