IARC  Strange Games
 
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is
playing some strange games, which will inevitably lead to
more public confusion about cell phone cancer risks.

IARC Is now saying that the Interphone study shows
no association between brain tumors and the use of
cell phones.

Huh?

We decided to look into this.
Read what we found out at

How many will get ill in Illinois?
 

(Smart meters set to ravage another state.  If you think that Al Capone was bad, wait till you see what smart meters can do!)

 

The following is the saga as covered by the Chicago Tribune where Commonwealth Edison successfully got legislation over the veto of the Illinois governor allowing Smart Meter technology. This is what happened in California where people are getting sick amid threats of  class action suit ....and now Illinois. Obamam has already endorsed Smart Meters and now they are being rolled out incrementally, state-by-state.


What make the story even more interesting is that legislators were able to push buttons for other legislators.


And, sadly, while the newspaper reported the saga, the public remains unaware of the meaning of the legislation and the consequences.

Legislature overrides Gov. Pat Quinn's veto to allow smart grid

Legislation raises ire of governor, other critics because it also overhauls a century-old regulatory process for setting electricity rates and reduces oversight by the Illinois Commerce Commission


By Julie Wernau, Tribune reporter

October 27, 2011

SPRINGFIELD— — No more meter readers. No more calling the electric utility when the lights go out. And when a big storm does knock out power, those outages will be less widespread and shorter in duration.

Quinn wants investigation of 'Buttongate'


By Ray Long, Tribune reporter

October 27, 2011

SPRINGFIELD—It's getting called "Buttongate."

Gov. Pat Quinn  wants an investigation into how several lawmakers punched the "yes" voting buttons of their colleagues on ComEd legislation that moves Illinois toward having a so-called smart grid in place.


http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/chi-quinn-wants-investigation-of-buttongate-20111027,0,1874977.story



 The above is an object lesson in the strategy being employed to bring in this technology without the public being aware.

Austria - Land of 1,000 mobile phone masts
 
How dangerous are mobile phone radiation? Mobile operators refer to values, self-help group calls even prohibition.
Zuletzt aktualisiert: 14.10.2011  
Kärnten

A nurse who used for years a cordless phone in her service to the chest and suffered from cardiac arrhythmia. A man who feels for a wireless transmitter in his apartment, extreme temperatures, although the thermometer shows nothing suspicious. A close one Handymastens residents who moved because of health problems in a dead zone.

These are just a few examples of some 70 Carinthians who feel affected by the effects of mobile phones - that's why they have come together in the self-help group "electro-electrical sensitivity".
"We are the only ones who dare to speak critically about this issue," says team leader Joseph Neuschitzer.

The support group is for seven years and has been content to share in the small circle tips and advice. Now the mobile opponents go on the offensive and start a campaign with an information evening, "which will set the discussion going," said Neuschitzer. He cites numerous studies that would demonstrate the dangers of mobile phones. The St. Veit is also aware that the topic is controversial.
"We have powerful opponents, for which there may not be true that mobile phone for tinnitus, burnout or cancer is partly responsible. But let us not be defeated."

Limits
As an adversary, the self-help group has chosen not small fish. The Forum for Mobile Communications (FMC), the lobbying organization of the major Austrian mobile operator takes the concerns of the Carinthian not really seriously. "The wireless technology has existed for over 100 years and has researched basically one knows exactly, is harmful under what circumstances the technology, so there yes, it also limits. The set has the World Health Organization and are respected, "said Gregory Wagner, spokesman for the FMK. According to him are around 1,000 base stations and base stations for mobile base stations in Carinthia.
A number that will increase no longer great: "If there is an expansion, then existing only at the sites."

For the self-help group, every single one of these sites too much, in a resolution recommending to discontinue the use of mobile phones completely. At the same time calling the opponent a mobile phone and Wi-Fi ban in all public buses, schools, hospitals, kindergartens and clinics. With their skepticism, they are not alone, the Medical Association recommends calling as short and little. Health Councillor Peter Kaiser (SPO) has published rules for mobile students.

More and more damage to nature and man "

Photo © KKJosef Neuschitzer directs the self-help group against electromagnetic pollution

They call in the resolution of electromagnetic pollution and electrosensitivity an extensive mobile phone ban. Do you think that something like this goes down well in the general population?

JOSEF Neuschitzer: Such bans are nothing new, in hospitals as they are already commonplace. Of course, such a ban might sound unrealistic. But I am convinced that there are increasing dramatically in the foreseeable future, the damage to nature and to human health. Then there will be a rethink.

There will also be mobile phone-free areas and valleys, so it asks how their group?

Neuschitzer: In Germany, which is required for a long time. I've already spoken with mayors interested in Carinthia. I realize that the implementation is difficult, but basically it's all about me, the discussion about the mobile back into swing.

You can expect great support?

Neuschitzer: Many people do not realize that their complaints that their discomfort is due in large part on the mobile. First we need to propagate information and a critical approach to the art. We do not want fear.

If not a cell phone ban, what should change?

Neuschitzer: We want our activities with the Telecom Act to bring the case that the mobile radio operator allows many freedoms in operation. But politics are not interested in the topic.

Guide diseases Dangerous radiation?

We spent the day glued to the phone, television, Wi-Fi to ... But all this technology exposes us to harmful electromagnetic fields whose effects are only beginning to see.
 
Mujerhoy.com - MARISOL Guisasola
We do not conceive without moving out and we even took him to the bathroom and bed. It is a relationship as dependent, if one day the phone fails us (either conventional model with an Internet connection), we feel disconnected from the world. And yet, more and more scientists think may have come short era and change. While news on cancer risk associated with using mobile phones for years have been circulating a report has always come in time to prevent disconnection, and concluded that "there is insufficient evidence to prove unequivocally that relationship."

This lack of definition exculpatory, to which the industry has stuck ever, begins to lose ground since the last May 31, WHO, through its International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) officially classified electromagnetic fields RF as "possibly carcinogenic".

Back in September 2008, the European Parliament decided (by 522 votes in favor and 16 against) establish more stringent safety standards for mobile devices. In view of studies that use associated with increased risk of brain tumors, said: "The limits of exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) established for the general public are obsolete." The European Parliament did not hesitate to declare themselves "very concerned by the International Bioiniciativa report (www.bioinitiative.org) on ​​electromagnetic fields, which includes about 2,000 scientific studies and details the risks of emissions from mobile telephony, including mobile phones, UMTS, Wi-Fi, WiMax and Bluetooth, and wireless phones. "
The report noted that exposure to equipment and electrical systems and / or electronic, power lines, wireless devices and antennas expose the population to increased risk of immune disorders, Alzheimer's, cancer, alterations in brain function ...

Perhaps the greatest authority on EMF radiation and its effects is the Swede Olle Johansson, director of the Experimental Neurology Unit, Department of Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute and professor of neuroscience at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm. His sly smile clashes with his speech, anything but reassuring. "The current measure of risk of radiation or SAR (English acronym for" specific absorption rate "established by the industry for decades) is inadequate and, therefore, the world population is at risk," he says flatly. "Until now, the idea prevailed that the only adverse effects of RF emissions were due to a thermal or heating effect, as it was thought that the fields had no non-thermal biological effect," he adds.

Precautionary principle. Today, however, there is ample research showing that non thermal fields can affect tissues and physiological functions. Bioeffects have been observed nonthermal radiation of low intensity for both molecular and cellular level. "In light of recent results, we have to reduce exposure to microwave about 50000-60000 times. That said, the limits of the new biological standards are still 100 million times higher than natural radiation levels with which the life of the planet (and our genes) evolved, "he concludes.

As a first step, Johansson and other scientists are asked to apply the "precautionary principle" which aims to safeguard the public against potential risks. Johansson explains, "that risk has not been fully established is no excuse for not applying the precautionary principle, which is a natural right. Politicians and legislators have a duty to redefine the maximum exposure guidelines based on biological data and taking into account the long-term effects. And they should be considered especially at risk groups such as children and pregnant women (the fetus is especially vulnerable), elderly, sick, people with genetic or immune electrohipersensibilidad people ...".

Indeed, the hypersensitivity has received much attention. In Spain, Minerva Palomar is the first work to which a judge has granted "permanent work disability and absolute" electromagnetic hypersensitivity and environmental. Today it is estimated that between 18 and 20 million Europeans suffer from this disorder. In Sweden, first country to accept this problem as a cause of sick leave, the number of affected rises to more than 250,000. Most belong to the Swedish Association for electrosensitivity in the Federation of Disability.

Minerva is easy to recognize on the street. To isolate the electromagnetic fields, the Complutense University excel is dressed in silver fiber clothing sewing itself (the fabric, purchased in Germany, it costs 600 €) and also a veil covering her silver fiber mask carbon which, in turn, protects the mouth. "My diagnosis of electrosensitivity is behind a pilgrimage for many years, from doctor to doctor, always without a clear diagnosis for my symptoms of extreme fatigue, mental confusion, headaches, generalized aches, loss of coordination, tachycardia, syncope, emergency income ... In the end, an Integrative Medicine physician went to a congress to explain cases like mine associated with hypersensitivity to electromagnetic fields. " Today, Minerva is not going anywhere without your meter radio: "I have four. Thanks to them I objectified my problem every time I feel bad, I look and check if the high frequency levels are very high. "

"Not out of the city are free of risk," says Elizabeth Peña, another affected by this hypersensitivity. "The roads and towns are littered with antennas and repeaters. If you want to spend a weekend in the countryside, you have to check before the house that you do not have Wi-Fi or wireless phone or is below a base station or a power line. Of course, urban centers are off limits. I'm all for progress, but not everything has to be wireless, because it involves a lot of radiation. "

RISK CHILDREN. The dr. José Francisco Tinao, vice president of Healthy Living Foundation (www.vivosano. Org), is the first struck by the proliferation of electrohipersensibilidad patients with a disorder that may also include nausea, irritability, tinnitus, coughs, insomnia and even eczema and other problems dermatology. "This is a harmful environment, he explains. We are the first generation exposed to this radiation and exposures are added gradually. Children are especially vulnerable. "

Concerns about a child's risk spreads. Irina Fiore, director of the Organization for the Defense Health Foundation Integrated Healthy Living, hainiciado campaign "Schools Without Wi-Fi" (www.escuelasinwifi.org), which includes the collection of signatures. "Wi-Fi systems in schools expose children (and workers) to a known carcinogen for more than 130 hours a month minimum, and more than 1170 hours per year," he explains. "Countries like France and Germany have removed the Wi-Fi in schools, hospitals, libraries and public places. Our campaign aims to eliminate them from the classroom and promote other Internet access technologies that do not endanger health. "

Investigate and decide. To Olle Johansson, the only way to get to the bottom line is that scientists who study the risks associated with electromagnetic radiation are untrammeled labor and funds for research are covered at 100%. "They must be completely free of commercial interests-emphasized. Public health can not be labeled with a price. It is a responsibility of governments and WHO. "

What can we do as to minimize the risks from exposure to EMF? The suggestion of Professor Johansson is to gather as much information as possible, read, think and then make a responsible decision for yourself and family: "I often ask this question and answer with this one: Do you really need these devices ? Really your children have to spend so much time with the phone, computer or console? If you think the answer is yes, go ahead. If not, it's time to start to make changes in your life. "

France - Towns cannot oppose phone masts

LEMONDE.FR with AFP and Reuters | 10.26.11

French mayors do not have the right to limit the installation of cell phone masts on their territory on behalf of the precautionary principle, the Council of State ruled on Wednesday, October 26. "A mayor shall not be able to, by Order, regulate the installation of phone masts within its town's territory based on its general police prerogatives", it adds.

The highest administrative jurisdiction has decided that this concerns solely a prerogative of the State and has therefore censored the limitation in the Orders concerning three towns: Bordeaux, Pennes-Mirabeau in the Bouches-du-Rhône Department,  and Saint-Denis in the Seine-Saint-Denis Department.

The Council of State raises a technical point with regard to the fact that the sole competence on these matters should be up to the regulatory authority of Electronic and Postal Telecommunications (Arcep) and the French National Radio Frequency (ANFR),  two bodies also supposed to be taking public health issues into account.

HEATED DEBATE IN PARIS

Furthermore, the jurisdiction has limited the use of the precautionary principle, which is part of the environmental charter and the Constitution. "There can be no purpose or effect in allowing a public authority to venture outside its realm of competence and take action outside its realms of jurisdiction, it says. It is however stipulated in the decision that the mayors shall continue to have some leeway in case of an emergency and be able to, "given the local circumstances of an exceptional nature,"  take action in this area.

This decision has come about at a time when a strong conflict opposes the City of Paris to telecom operators. The municipality decided on Monday, October 17 to "immediately" suspend all new phone mast installations on buildings
following the "breach" of the Parisian Charter of cell telephones, it claims as a result of the "unacceptable demands'' of operators. The Minister of Energy,
Eric Besson, "had deplored the unilateral decision of the Mayor of Paris",
judging it "contrary to the spirit" of the Charter signed in 2003, thus inciting the community to "resume discussions with operators".

NV Energy's smart meters to be investigated

Tuesday, Oct. 25, 2011
After hearing several complaints about possible health hazards and invasion of privacy, the state Public Utilities Commission has opened an investigation into smart meters installed in more than 500,000 homes in Las Vegas.
Commissioner Rebecca Wagner said there was misinformation or a lack of information when the commission approved NV Energy's application to begin the project.
She said she wants to look into allowing customers to refuse the installation of the meters and the implications. And she says the investigation should address the health issues and the privacy and security fears.
This should be started now, she said, before "it unravels further."
Although the vote was unanimous, Commissioner David Noble said many of the concerns were addressed in a prior hearing and he did not want to duplicate what had been covered. He said he did not "want to open up a free-for-all" on this case.
Angel De Fazio, founder of NV Energy Stop Smart Meters, said the units transmit electromagnetic radiation and are harmful to people with physical impairments.
De Fazio told the PUC it had a duty "to protect the disabled." This is not a federal mandate, she said and homeowners should have the right to "opt out" in having a meter.
She also said the meters are a health hazard to dogs.
Mike Hazard told the commission a lot of people don't like the smart meters. A federal grant of $138 million helped finance the installation of the meters and he suggested that money could have been used to build a new power plant in Southern Nevada.
NV Energy and its sister Sierra Pacific Power Company hope to have all the customers hooked up by December 2012. Installation should start in December in Northern Nevada.
The units will allow the customer to view next-day energy use information and the time of day the power is used. NV Energy maintains studies show the smart meters are safe.
The radio frequency exposure signal goes out 48 times a day and is within the guidelines of the Federal Communications Commission. "By comparison, cellphones transmit constantly and at very close range," the utility said.
The only one at the Tuesday hearing who spoke in favor of the unit was a man named Todd who said, "I love it." He said he has been able to lower his power use during the day hours. "My problem is with (NV Energy) bringing truckloads of armed guards to read the meter," said the individual who did not sign in at the meeting in Las Vegas.
But several speakers opposed the meters and some said they would be willing to pay more if they could return to the prior system.
Anne Haley complained this should be a "freedom of choice" and NV Energy has been able to keep complaints from being publicized.

PALOMAR MINERVA MARTINEZ - Affected by EHS

"Many people with electrosensitivity are living a drama"
the affected advocates
to prevent
"we do not know if these exposures are going hurt us"

http://www.farodevigo.es/portada-pontevedra/2011/10/26/personas-electrosensibles-viven-drama/591700.html

Palomar Minerva (Madrid, 1969) is the first Spanish person wit a judicial recognition that achieves permanent disability electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Yesterday presented the documentary   "Full signal" (Full coverage).

REGUEIRO SUSANA - The municipality of Pontevedra Pontevedra work 120 mobile phone base antennas to over Wi-Fi antennas in various public places, the Ponte Sampaio electrical substation, power lines ... This makes life very difficult for people like Minerva Palomar, despite her veil, jackets and pants that protect special radio frequency. His case served as a starting point last night the APDR environmental association to discuss the risks of electromagnetic pollution and stricter limits apply.

- What is electrosensitivity?

-A series of symptoms that are associated with exposure to electromagnetic fields, high or low frequency.

- How it was discovered that Electro?

-Sick, I felt very sick when I had the first episode I knew nothing of what was happening, I was just really bad, he carried me to the doctor because I could not stand, nor sit in a chair while they are all the symptoms you suffer when I'm exposed: headache, strong fatigue, mental confusion, malaise, nausea, memory loss. But there are many degrees, there are people who only suffer pain or fatigue, or mental nebula ... For me it was a miracle find it was electro and power to think clearly again, restore the brain.

- When did the symptoms?

-In 1996, after a summer, suddenly I could not get out of bed, even at the beginning I could not describe the symptoms, which also appeared from zero to one hundred, I was just very scared and did not know what was happening.

- Had been particularly exposed to RF?

Eventually, I discovered, years later, he had seasons that were good or very bad, and when I was diagnosed I realized that if I had to do with houses where I lived, were houses radiating near antennas, then I suspect that connected in the first house at the time an antenna is still there.

- Are doctors familiar with these conditions?

-No, unfortunately not fall in Spain on this issue, you are treated, with medications and you try to worse ....

'It was the first person to win a sentence for failure ...

-Basically since I started the health problems I could not adequately fulfill my work, I have been fortunate to have a place in the administration and because of that I'm not in the street under a bridge because many people with my problems health living a drama, dramatic situations in the private sector would simply cast me and more if conventional medicine does not give answers, they lost. My battle was because in the end were very bad years, it started the mass deployment of Wi-fis indoor cordless phones ... And even knowing the problem and trying to avoid it could not spend 8 hours in an irradiated site, so you start the battle for recognition of my health problem.

Neither will be easy, everyday life in general ...

-No, now I have to go to my house while my neighbors make an effort not to connect things but you can always connect to something, as a device for babies actually need, and I understand it, but has a level of radiation with the I can not live. Unless you find an alternative, devices that reduce radiation by 90%, if I can find for there is none in Spain, but every day I put a hard limit and no longer where I can live.

- What kind of fabrics you see?

-Protective fabrics are made safe RF initially for the military, ever getting the radio waves and I am very margin, since that I have more ability to be in a more protected, but is relative: if increases both radio frequency at all sites at the end there is no easy protection.

- What preventative measures can take a person without their levels of sensitivity?

-The normal people can take preventive measures, we can not put the body exposures that do not know if we are to take their toll, I would recommend not having cordless phones (which are radiating 24 hours), preferably corded telephone or non-organic. Is the wi fi? Preferably cable or PLC system that delivers coverage of the electric current ADSL or cable network lifetime. If someone lives in front of a base station and have symptoms that might be associated with exposure must personally see the possibility of isolated: I've known people who had health problems, have isolated themselves (that if, knowing very well where is coming from a study) and shielded the area, thereby reducing, but a priori there is no single solution has to be seen on the fly.
