LOS ANGELES SUPERVISORS STOP CONSTRUCTION OF CELL TOWERS AT FIRE STATIONS

"This is stupid, and again the point is how we got this far is irresponsible," Supervisor Michael Antonovich said.

Supervisors approved a motion to stop construction at fire stations and study the issue further. They will also request the Department of Commerce to approve an extension to be able to get federal money in the future.
 
 
 
 
County Supervisors unanimously halt construction of toxic cell towers
 
Thank you for all of your hard work and support over the past weeks as we have demanded a voice in our own health and safety at our fire stations and an end to sneaky back room deals. Together, we have won an important battle, but the war is not over. We will keep you all apprised of ongoing developments.
 
 
 
Many thanks to all the persons who have worked with firefighters over the last ten years to show them the dangers of cell phone masts etc..

Hi Andre,

People's Republic of China

In the WHO's EMF database for the People's Republic of China there is a review by Cao (2007) documenting the findings of general EMF-related health research in China from 1994 to 2006.

From the total of 383 Chinese papers investigating EMF biological effects in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) databank (this figure excludes papers investigating: EMF medical treatment; EMF prevention; EMF regulation, environmental EMF exposure assessment; and restricted People's Liberation Army research papers on the topic), it is stated that there were 109 epidemiological studies. 108 of these noted biological effects as a result of exposure.

In the epidemiological studies reviewed, 32 were for exposure levels higher than EMF exposure limits for members of the general public in China. The other 77 papers were for exposure levels lower than public exposure limits in China. Details of these exposure limits provided by Chiang (2009) are given below (Table 1).

 

Table 1: General Public Exposure Limits to RF/microwave radiation in China

Frequency

1st class exposure limits

2nd class exposure limits

0.1-30 MHz

10 V/m

25 V/m

>30-300 MHz

5 V/m

12 V/m

>0.3-300 GHz

10 μW/cm2

40 μW/cm2

Source: Chiang (2009).

1st class exposure limits: Exposures below these levels thought to be safe for permanent exposure and all people (including infants, pregnant mothers, patients, older people, etc.).

2nd class exposure limits: Exposures below these levels acceptable for short-term exposures (factories, parks, recreation spaces, etc.). Living quarters, hospitals, schools, kindergartens, etc., not allowed to receive such exposures.


Health effects for the 108 epidemiological studies that reported effects included: abnormal ECG; disorder of immunoglobulin; miscarriage; neurasthenia; poor sleep quality; and sperm dysfunction. Quoting Cao (2007): "No matter what the exposure level may be, lower or higher than [the Chinese] EMF exposure limits for public, health effects had been reported in these papers. ..."

Actual exposure levels for the general public in China are well below the rigorous Chinese General Public Exposure Limits. Chiang (2009) remarked that in 3 Chinese cities assessed around 1% of the urban population was exposed to levels >1V/m or 2 μW/cm2, and that "Only a very small percentage may be exposed to levels comparable to the [Chinese] limits (in most cases for short time only)." ...

Mobile phone radiation causes brain tumors and should be classified as a probable human carcinogen (2A) (Review)

If exposures to DECT phones could have been taken into account, the risks of glioma from mobile phone use in CERENAT are likely to be higher than published. We conclude that radiofrequency fields should be classified as a Group 2A ̔probable̓ human carcinogen under the criteria used by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (Lyon, France).

It appeared that many industry funded researchers did not notice that the data they provided in their research indicated that the cause of the accidents was not primarily driver distraction but something much more profoundly disturbing. The evidence from the Redelmeier Study as well as subsequent studies have shown that RFR emitted from cellphones was inhibiting brain function and possibly causing car accidents.(

Science Fair Project Winner Do Cell Phones Inhibit Growth?

 Lucas Brenninkmeijer is a grade 7 student at Oakville Christian School who recently tied for first place in their Science Fair competition. In his project , Do Cell Phones Inhibit Growth?,

 Lucas conducted an experiment to determine what would happen to the growth of seeds if they were exposed to a cell phone. The experiment compared the growth of seeds on a tray with a cell phone in the middle and on a tray without a phone. The results of the experiment consistently showed that the seeds grown on the tray with the cell phone were shorter and less dense than the seeds grown on the tray with no phone.

 Lucas will be going to the Bay Area Science and Engineering Fair (BASEF) in Hamilton in March to present his project.

The Editor, New York Times
 
Dear Editor
 
The article by George Johnson (March 23 NYT) is not worthy of publication in any newspaper as it is not factual.
 
Johnson stated in his article "The electromagnetic signals that go from cellphone to cellphone and computer to computer lie quietly on the spectrum between radio broadcast waves and the colors of light. From the perspective of science, the likelihood of the rays somehow causing harm is about as strong as the evidence for ESP".
 
He has clearly failed to do any research on the topic or he would have known that there are thousands of scientific papers which show that wireless microwave radiation causes many very serious adverse health effects including several different cancers, immune problems, sleeping difficulties and depression etc.  Those signals do not lie quietly as suggested, they cause horrible adverse reactions in some people and affect their lives in many unkind ways.  They also endanger the lives of every person exposed to wireless radiation.
 
Johnson should also be aware that wireless radiation causes damage to DNA, changes to blood composition, and opens the blood brain barrier.
 
Much more scientific information is available in the Bio Initiative Report www.bioinitiative.org .  Please let New York Times readers know about the dangers they face from wireless radiation and advise them that the article by Johnson was not accurate.

DTE Acts Illegally in Shutting Off Power to People with Locked Meters
 
DTE justified their action by saying that the locking devices on the meters created a health and safety hazard for the homeowners and their neighbors.  
 
Our lawyer says that this is "an expansive use of the public safety exception" found in MPSC Rule 460.136. A locked analog meter is not a public safety hazard. It won't cause a fire. It won't irradiate you. It won't fill your home with dirty electricity.
 

Molly Cleary, a nurse who is one of the people whose power DTE shut off yesterday, is filing a formal complaint with the MPSC regarding the shut-off and may get to keep her analog meter and get her power back on while the complaint is heard. At least one other person is going to fiel a complaint as well. I need anyone whose Tatar Guard has been defeated by DTE to contact me immediately, because we need affidavits from each of you to support their claims. Please call me at 734-769-4241 and leave me your name, phone number, and email. Please also email me with the same information—even if you think I already have it and already know that your guard was defeated. I also need the man whose power was shut off in Allen Park to contact me.
 
Molly's interview with Channel 7 is fantastic. For more of her story and that of others, read the rest of this newsletter. Please call or email Channel 7, the Ann Arbor News, etc and tell them you want to hear everyone's stories.
Yesterday, a five-vehicle convoy from DTE drove to five homes in widely disparate locations—Ann Arbor, Dexter, Allen Park, and Webster Township—and shut off their electricity.

The Electromagnetic Assault on our Bodies
 
Electromagnetic pollution—radiation from non-ionizing gamma rays—has the same effect as nuclear ionizing radiation, albeit in a slow-burn fashion. Leading German radiation expert Dr. Heyo Eckel, an official of the German Medical Association, stated: "The injuries that result from radioactive radiation are identical with the effects of electromagnetic radiation. The damages are so similar that they are hard to differentiate."

Imagine you are five years old, in school and sitting with a wi-fi laptop near your abdomen. Theoretically, your ovaries can become irradiated until you leave school at aged 16-18 years old. When you become pregnant, every one of your follicles (to become eggs) will have been microwaved. Hence, you may or may not deliver a healthy child.

Do people get charged up and then discharge it ?

That happens all the time to me.  My friend drives over to see me in their car that has bluetooth going and their cell phone is on.  When I hug them hello I can feel the charge on them almost the same as if they had a device on, except it's until they themselves discharge and it doesn't pulse like a cell phone that is trying to connect.

"The greatest concern is that a successful attack could allow someone to gain control of customers all at once.  In addition to causing widespread blackouts, repeatedly switching the power off and on could create frequency imbalances and surges in the grid that could damage loads and destabilize the entire grid, potentially causing damage to generators, transformers, and other equipment in the path [including the smart meters themselves and major appliances in homes and other buildings].

Radiofrequency EMFs produce clear co-carcinogenic properties

On the same day that the EC's SCENIHR released their long-awaited report that concluded that we should not worry about any adverse health effects of EMF/RF fields, a new well conducted replication study shows that long-term 3G/UMTS microwave exposure can act as a co-carcinogen and statistically significantly increase cancer growth at very low exposure levels, 50-fold below currently permitted levels. Everyone using a 3G mobile phone or iPad or other tablet will be exposed at higher levels than this (0.04 W/kg). This study flags a big and important "wake up alarm call".

School districts, school boards and school medical health officers have been notified that Lloyd's of London has now excluded any liability coverage for injuries, "directly or indirectly arising out of, resulting from or contributed to by electromagnetic fields, electromagnetic radiation, electromagnetism, radio waves or noise." This would include the microwave radiation emitting from the commercial wi-fi transmitters and wireless devices in our schools.

Lots of good information here:
 
 
Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt said that there's an absolute connection between EMF and Lyme. I listened to the interview on the Electromagnetic Health website (see link below). Here are some interesting quotes from Dr. K:
 -- "Bugs (chronic infections) think they are being attacked and they step up their biotoxin production and virulence the moment we enter any electromagnetic field"
-- "Lyme disease leads to demyelination - that means the nerves lose some of their protection
the nerves become much more readily affected by electromagnetic radiation"
-- "There is a huge epidemic of chronic infections - #1 being Lyme"
-- "Every patient I ever tested who had a diagnosis of electro-sensitivity turned out to test positive for Lyme"

Medical Imaging Tests: Weighing the Radiation Risk

The increased exposure is a concern because of the high radiation dosage used, Smith-Bindman says: Compared to a standard chest X-ray, the radiation dose for a chest CT scan involves radiation that's 500 times higher or more.
 
Magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasound exams don't use ionizing radiation and are considered safer. MRI uses a magnetic field and high-frequency radio waves, while ultrasound uses sound waves to create images.

Symptoms after Exposure to Smart Meter Radiation
 
Please find attached the final version of the paper, "Symptoms after
Exposure to Smart Meter Radiation".  Please feel free to give this paper
to anyone you wish.

The paper has been reviewed by the principals involved in making the
data available to us.  I am most grateful for their good work in
preparing their detailed analyses of the data and for their help in
preparing this short paper.

This paper contains a one-page introduction and two bar graphs of
symptoms, one for the USA and one for Australia.  Each bar graph shows
the percentage of the respondents who reported experiencing the symptoms
shown, after exposure to wireless utility meters (principally Wireless
Smart Meters) or to Wireless Smart Meters exclusively, as described in
the introduction.  Immediately after each bar graph is a single page of
additional information written by the person conducting the analysis of
the data, for those readers who want more information.

The purpose of preparing this paper in this format was to present the
findings of these surveys in a format short enough for very busy people
to read.

Click Chemistry Under Microwave or Ultrasound Irradiation
 

 Is this a "smoking gun" regarding the effects of microwave radiation and infrasound resulting in vibroacoustic disease?


 The argument that artificial electromagnetic radiation does not affect human beings - and Nature in general - is undermined by evidence from another discipline: chemistry. 


 The concept of "Click Chemistry" was first coined K. B. Sharpless in 1998. It was first fully described by Sharpless, Hartmuth Kolb, and M.G. Finn of The Scripps Research Institute in 2001.


http://www.eurekaselect.com/73022/article/click-chemistry-under-microwave-or-ultrasound-irradiation


 This process is currently in use by Big Pharma to create pharmaceuticals in which interaction with microwaves and ultrasound are substitutes for heat to combine molecules.


 Click Chemistry, in which which molecules "click" together following microwave exposure, raises three issues:

  1. what effects are being created outside the controlled conditions of a pharmaceutical lab;  
  2. the issue of heat renders SAR values questionable as argued by Dr. Dimitris Panagopoulos, Prof. Olle Johansson and Dr. George Carlo last year; and
  3. how, at a molecular level, does the use of ultrasound - the military's ground wave technology (GWEN) - relate to acoustic issues associated wind turbines?

 Logically, if science can harness the interaction of microwave radiation / sound waves and molecules, these frequencies should have an effect outside the laboratory on the entire planet.


 Thank you to Alex Campbell of the Dublin Institute of Technology, Kevin Street, Dublin, Ireland for noting the Click Chemistry process.
