The Canadian initiative to stop Wireless Electrical and Electromagnetic Pollution
23 July 2014
Brazilian Courts order lower electromagnetic pollution
The Brazilian Judiciary determined to reduce the level of electromagnetic pollution generated by power lines to standard adopted by Swiss law (1.0 microtesla).
Two associations of residents in São Paulo — the largest city of Brazil — proposed the action. The plaintiff has pleaded to not be exposed to electromagnetic fields incompatible with the human health.

What are the full economic, health and security costs and benefits of wired versus wireless technology?
Like most industrial and all developing countries, Canada is already swamped with health care costs for treating cancer, which can run to hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single case. What will Canada do if facing an epidemic of such cancers within a few decades?

Jury hits tobacco company R.J. Reynolds with $23B verdict
Following a nearly four-week trial, the jury deliberated for 15 hours to eventually determine that the tobacco company was negligent in informing Robinson's husband, Michael Johnson Sr., that smoking causes lung cancer and that nicotine is highly addictive.
The verdict against wireless companies is likely to be much higher as they are potentially harming so many more people!

Smart Meters explanation needed
In play is the very serious matter of six fires said to be related to the installation of these meters, which are manufactured by North Carolina-based company Sensus and are being installed by SaskPower-hired local installers working under the direction of an American-based company called Grid One Solutions.
Interestingly, neither company is talking to the media about the problem - fuelling speculation that either or both companies share some responsibility for it.

The La Plata Electric Association board's "we'll see" response Wednesday to her request that "smart grid" opt-outs not be charged for having their electric meter read isn't the end of it, said a Pagosa Springs woman who refused a smart meter in her home.
"There are 50 to 60 of us who are going to try for a court injunction against LPEA," Laura Refka told The Durango Herald after the board meeting. "We also are trying to educate members of the Town Council, who don't know their duties."

Loneliness: a silent plague that is hurting young people most
For young Britons, loneliness is an epidemic – and they are even more likely to fall victim to its insidious dangers than the elderly
Dr Grant Blank, a survey research fellow at the Oxford
Internet Institute, points out that
social media and the internet can be a boon and a problem. They are beneficial when they enable us to communicate with distant loved ones, but not when they replace face-to-face contact. "People present an idealised version of themselves online and we expect to have social lives like those portrayed in the media," says Challis. Comparing friends' seemingly perfect lives with ours can lead us to withdraw socially.

Will this FCC decision bring an end to the Wi Fi age?
"The effort will potentially provide a 75 percent increase in Wi-Fi funding for rural schools over the next five years and a 60 percent increase for urban schools, delivering Wi-Fi to an additional 10 million students in 2015 alone,"
As illnesses in children dramatically increase, will Wi Fi be ditched for safer technologies?

Letter to the Canadian Minister of Health
Dear Minister Rona Ambrose
Under your supervision, and after a barrage of criticism for its antiquated, laggard Safety Code 6 (SC6), Health Canada has exceptionally opened itself to a public consultation process. Yet by demanding that all contributions from the public focus solely on scientific matters relative to this deficient code, it shows itself to be in fact almost as closed as a clamshell. This argument was eloquently made by NDP's health critic Libby Davies in his
July 10 letter to you. So to me this is a sham process, just as the entire 'scientific review' health Canada has commissioned the Royal Society of Canada (SRC) to do. Indeed, by imposing to the SRC its list of scientists that it wished to see on their review panel, many of them with obvious conflicts of interests that forced several of them to be dismissed from this skewed panel, it is clear that Health Canada was trying to cook the scientific book through getting from this panel conclusions that would fit its pre-designed policy about SC6. It got what it wanted, but now that the true nature of this 'kangoroo' panel is so glaring in the public eye, thanks in no small part to the protest campaign spearheaded by the group Canadians for Safe Technology, it tried once again to put a veneer of legitimacy on its fake review process, knowing full well that when it will issue its pre-ordained decision this fall, the mostly compliant Canadian media will parrot without much ado Health Canada's blind reassurances about the adequacy of SC6.
Moreover, this request for an exclusively scientific examination of SC6 is quite risible coming from a government that has built itself a strong worldwide reputation for ignoring what the scientists say when it does not fit the narrow, profit-driven, political and ideological agenda of your circus headmaster, M. Stephen Harper. What would it change for us, Canadians deeply frustrated with the blatant disregard for our health by your ministry, that we throw at you hundreds of studies conclusively showing dire health effects from microwave exposure, when the ravenous desire of your government to get billions of $$ every year from the telecommunication industry for the leasing of the radiofrequency spectrum trumps every other consideration? Not much, except more frustrations.
So you'll excuse me for being a tad skeptical about your true intents with this review process. We Canadians tend to demonstrate an exceptional tolerance for political shenanigans as long our day-to-day life isn't too much affected. But in this case, with the mounting evidence that it is not good at all blasting our kids with industrial strength WiFi routers in schools, showering our neighborhoods and homes with a blizzard of powerful cellphone signals emitted non-stop by cellphone antennas, contaminating our only havens with the pulsing, carcinogenic microwave emissions of not-so-smart meeters, and enduring a host of other sources of electropollution imposed on us because Health Canada has decreed, against any sense of logic, that the stratospheric exposure limits (6 million microwatts per square meter for the cellphone signal and 10 million for the WiFi) set by its 'Safety' code 6 are perfectly safe, don't be so surprised when we roundly vote you out of power next year. Actually you would deserve a much more punishing fate, as your government is so fond of metering against the wrongdoers of our society (not the corporate ones mind you), but we are so kind, and perhaps a bit too lazy, that we will content ourselves with throwing your party on the ash heep of history, sincerely hoping that your anti-human, anti-nature ideological brand never surfaces again at the helm of this country.
We have had enough of you!
Finally, in case there is someone at your ministry with still enough integrity to face the true scientific facts and recommend to you an immediate and substantial lowering of the SC6 exposure levels, nothwithstanding the FCC stance on this which you are so prone to mimic, send them the attached scientific review of 23 studies entitled "Electromagnetic fields act via activation of voltage-gated calcium channels to produce beneficial or adverse effects" which, among other things documents the "EMF induction of DNA single-strand breaks in cells" (which leads to the onset of cancer after a while), as well as a "nitric oxide-peroxynitrite-oxidative stress pathway of action" explaining "pathophysiological responses to EMFs". In its conclusion, it says "The current review provides support for a pathway of the biological action
of ultralow frequency and microwave EMFs, nanosecond pulses and static electrical or magnetic fields" which can both have "potentially therapeutic effects" in some cases, and detrimental "pathophysiological effects" in other cases.
In the same vein, I also attach and recommend for review the scientific article by Martin L. Pall, Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry and Basic Medical Sciences, Washington State University, entitled "Microwave electromagnetic fields act by activating voltage-gated calcium channels: why the current international safety standards do not predict biological hazard". I include the Abstract here because that's where you'll find the scientific meat and cogent scientific arguments for immediate protective action on your part of the public's health...
"Microwave and other low frequency electromagnetic fields (EMFs) have been shown to act by activating voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs) with most biological effects being due to elevated intracellular calcium, consequent nitric oxide (NO) elevation and either peroxynitrite or NO signaling. This, the role of excessive intracellular calcium in microwave effects and some 20,000 papers on microwave biological effects show that the current international safety standards do not predict biological hazard. Such standards are based on the false assumption that the predominant effects of microwave and other low frequency EMF exposures are due to heating. A whole series of biological changes reportedly produced by microwave exposures can now be explained in terms of this new paradigm of EMF action via VGCC activation, including: oxidative stress; single and double stranded breaks in cellular DNA; therapeutic effects; blood-brain barrier breakdown; greatly depressed melatonin levels and sleep disruption; cancer; male and female infertility; immune dysfunction; neurological dysfunction; cardiac dysfunction including tachycardia, arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. A two-phase program for greatly improving EMF safety standards is proposed."
Most of the ailments that transform the lives of EHS sufferers into an utter nightmare are thus explained.
But that doesn't seem to bother your governement because to Stephen Harper, money speaks so much more louder than scientific facts...
With no hope and only contempt for your blatant pandering to corporate interests.

"Health Canada's Safety Code 6 is based on an obsolete account and analysis of Radiofrequency Radiation research," said Dr. David Carpenter MD, PhD, Director, Department of Public Health, State University of New York, Albany. It has "disregarded or minimized certain recent studies" he added, about "detrimental biological and health effects in humans that occur at radiation levels far below the existing Safety Code 6 Guideline".

W.E.E.P. – The Canadian initiative to stop: Wireless Electrical and Electromagnetic Pollution
If you research the adverse 'health effects of microwave radiation', you will see that neurological changes to the brain have been known about for over 35 years.
University students are bathed in microwave radiation 24 hours a day from Wi Fi, cordless telephones, cell phones, I Pads, antennas and other wireless devices. Microwave radiation is affecting the normal thinking process. Depression and suicide are two of the well known and well researched effects of microwave exposure.
A 'crisis of suicide and depression in universities' has also been reported in North American universities.
This information about the brain being affected, was available in 1979 – http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1807758/pdf/bullnyacadmed00125-0115.pdf
