Monthly update from:John Weigel!
Ireland Created: 22 Jun 2015
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Please examine the graphic from the European Union regarding the research partnership between the EU and the country of Japan under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) arrangement. A similar arrangement has been made with South Korea.
PPPs are not democratic and a variant of fascist political practices for which thousands died fighting against Mussolini in WWII.
The EU's partnership did not require a vote by the European Parliament but it has a significance far beyond technology. There are health issues largely ignored as evidenced by the recent SCEHNIR controversy and the denial of access to due process by the U.K. Radiation Research Trust as well as the alleged conflict of interest by Mr Richard Adams during the EESC Plenary Session on 21 January. Mr. Adams led the Counter Opinion against the call to support people who are suffering with electrosensitivity and prevented the need for measures to be applied to accommodate sufferers and to protect future generations.
At issue is the undemocratic development of 5G technology which will result in the establishment of a wireless system of communication - largely by stealth - with profound health implications. If you analyze the EU graphic closely you can see the profound effect the technology will have on access to / usage of water, liberty and privacy. This issue is highlighted by Marie-Pierre from Next-Up.org below.
As the Observer newspaper noted last Saturday, It's "Not sci-fi any more". (See attached pdf.)
Kind regards,
John Weigel

Japan, EU: we'll research 5G unicorns together

Joint work on standards, spectrum and applications
We don't know what 5G will look like yet, apart from fast and probably expensive, but Japan and the European Union have agreed to cooperate to research the coming-in-2020 mobile standards.
Under the agreement announced Friday, the partners will work together on standards efforts, and to harmonise the radio spectrum to be used in Japan and the EU.
The agreement says the research will also cover trackable and snitchable connected cars and electronic health applications, as well as €12 million to go on projects to “help develop the Internet of Things,Cloud or Big Data platforms”.

Nokia considering India as production base for 5G telecom systems
CHENNAI: Finnish telecom broadband infrastructure software and services provider Nokia Networks will consider India as one of the production bases for making 5G telecom systems, said a senior company official.
Though Nokia Corporation had recently announced of an agreement with Alcatel Lucent to acquire it, Nokia Networks in India will work as an independent unit and compete against Alcatel Lucent till the clear signal on integration is obtained from the headquarters.
"We have been making equipments for 4G for quite some time here. The commercial implementation of the 5G is expected to be in 2018.

Follow-up on death of football youth on the field
Con Colbert and Helen McRory of the Irish Environmental Victims Network (IERVN) visited the football pitch were a young footballer collapsed and died and report that the playing field is “awash with electromagnetic radiation”.
In 2005 69 post-mortems confirmed sudden cardiac death in young people under 35.
!n 2009, Dr. Joe Galvin told the Afternoon Show on RTE, the national Irish broadcaster that “One Irish person under 35 dies suddenly each week from an undiagnosed heart condition such as SADS or Cardiomyopathy.”
“You should known that in Ireland two people are lost to Sudden Adult Death Syndrome every week.”
The Cormac Trust was founded after a promising young player, Cormac MacAnallen, died of what is now being termed Sudden Cardiac Arrest. The organization has made a € 50,000 donation to genetic research. http://www.thecormactrust.com/
Automotive issues
Should your self-driving car be programmed to kill you if it means saving a dozen other lives?
Earlier this month Google announced that the company's self-driving cars have had just thirteen accidents since it began testing the technology back in 2009, none the fault of Google. The company has also started releasing monthly reports, which note Google's currently testing 23 Lexus RX450h SUVs on public streets, predominately around the company's hometown of Mountain View, California. According to the company, these vehicles have logged about 1,011,338 "autonomous" (the software is doing the driving) miles since 2009, averaging about 10,000 autonomous miles per week on public streets.

Letter: Scientists afraid to speak out
The muzzling of scientists by the present government is not a one-off situation that Dan Albas tries to portray in his last report. It is a sustemic effort to control flow of information coming from government research labs.

From Next-Up.org, France
it ‘s not necessary to be a specialist cognitive neuroscience...
Man being totally bioelectromagnetic all irradiation by microwave electromagnetic waves impact the artificial neural electrical exchanges of ion channels, it is exactly the same for all the toxins since this radiation causes the opening of the blood brain barrier.
Therefore it is not necessary to be a specialist in the mechanisms of cognitive neuroscience to understand that this alteration has a direct effect on the biological functions of overall balance (homeostasis) of the brain whose analysis and capacity for understanding.
This is somehow an inhibitor that helps to exercise without the knowledge of the individual behavioral control.

Linky incentive for energy companies to provide exciting offers
Linky happens in the cottages. ERDF, a subsidiary of EDF devoted to the distribution of electricity in the country, must put in place this year these new smart meters - cornerstone of the technology called "smart grid", erected by Emmanuel Macron, the Minister Economy in important vector of New industrial France. Among the advantages of Linky: an invoice based on the actual consumption; interventions carried out remotely and in a shorter time; rationalization of energy consumption. Finally, an economic gain for the consumer, and environmental for the company. Faced with the multiple interests of the "smart grid" energy commercial offers start pouring.

From Marie-Pierre at Next-Up
The problem is that the situation is totally changing nature and very few people know or are aware, for under-informed or unable to understand, as we try to show in the last News.
After the revolution of the mobile phone, a second more rapid revolution is underway, it is that of the management of connected objects: 3.9 billion to date the figure will pass according to forecasters at over 30 billion very quickly .
It is also expected that eventually everything will be connected, without the knowledge of the experiments are performed in populations of large urban areas in Belgium, it is the total control is what is currently in practice in preparation in European countries (Current Report).
Therefore artificial electromagnetic environment will literally explode depending on the establishment of new base stations infrastructure networks necessary for connected objects of all kinds (Linky included, besides the electric cables can also serve to antennas), this is what is being said is otherwise identical to the GSM network antennas current relay, but this new network is exclusively for communications connected objects is a managements aims to network fully commercial
The maneuvers of large groups began, Engie M2M (Machine-To-Machine) of the GDF Suez group is the center of business, lobbies that are the same powers fly all government decisions, as this disengagement of the state in Engie that will allow "elites" to take more interest in the capital of Engie whose future looks promising.

Full house for a party in Implant Paris
With this first "Implant Party," the biohackers invaded France and generate a lively debate on the human being logged.
By implementing NFC chips under the skin of volunteers guinea pigs, the Futur en Seine 2015 conference created the event and opened the debate on the benefits and limitations of human logged. The controversial collective Swedish biohackers Bionyfiken has ignited the audience of the conference openly comparing this type of practice connected with the more standardized objects that invade the planet at high speed. To push the logic of "quantified self" to the end, biometric measurements are made through the implementation of NFC chips connected under the skin of patient volunteers. Possible advances through this operation: the further identification to the extreme for the opening or closing of objects or even the use of a payment card. It is also possible to develop new applications for personalized services through NFC implant: business card or loyalty card, driving or recognizing the stores.
The limits of NFC chips seem endless, and that is what worries many observers of the phenomenon. Their goal: to allow the experimentation and development of new technologies, while cautioning governments and users against the dangers of such practices. While they are fascinating and promising, these implants do not pose many questions in less terms of public health, public security and even philosophical vision of the relation of man to technology.

SA farmers paid $1 million to host 19 turbines tell Senate they ‘would never do it again’ due to ‘unbearable’ sleep-destroying noise
Clive and Trina Gare are cattle graziers from South Australia’s Mid-North with their home property situated between Hallett and Jamestown.
Since October 2010, the Gares have played host to 19, 2.1MW Suzlon s88 turbines, which sit on a range of hills to the West of their stately homestead. Under their contract with AGL they receive around $200,000 a year; and have pocketed over $1 million since the deal began.
In a truly noble and remarkable move, the Gares gave evidence to the Senate Inquiry into the great wind power fraud during its Adelaide hearing, last week. Here’s their tragic story.

The windows of the new MUHC block the cellular signal
The selected block certain windows sunlight, but also waves
The windows of the new MUHC block cellular waves throughout the hospital to the point that management will conduct the hundreds of antennas installed to fix the problem.
No matter where one is in the new mega-hospital of the McGill University Health Centre (MUHC), which cost $ 1.3 billion, the cellular signal is weak or absent. Within minutes, the Journal has seen this problem, and not just in remote areas or away from windows.

Electricians talk about smart meters
The traditional mechanical meters would survive a major overvoltage event of fairly long duration...remember they were, electrically, just coils of wire. They may suffer some arc damage but in all likelyhood would continue to work (with reduced accuracy). And further, they had glass covers which wouldn't melt and were strong enough to contain an arc flash.
Smart meters contain a buttload of electronics on circuit boards with very small (and closely spaced) traces so flashovers and burnouts are very likely even with a relatively minor surge event. Plus the cases and covers are all plastic.
I have one that I can take apart so I will get some pics to add to this thread later.
http://www.electriciantalk.com/f9/stockton-smart-meters-explode-after-truck-causes-power-surge-98801/
Our complaint is that the tabs on the new meters are thinner, about 1/2 the thickness, than the old meters.
If the tabs do not have really good spring action left in them, they cook off when people start turning on their heaters in the winter.
Plumbers seem to get lots of stoppage calls on Thanksgiving. We get calls when the heaters come on for the first time

Israel: Cancer is increasing, oncologists are needed
Only 250 oncologists treat patients in Israel. About 200 oncologists are missing to treat the increasing number of cancer patients.
In Rambam, in 2004 were 9,490 cancer patients, and in 2014 the number was 13,667. Increase of 44%, says Prof' Rafi Biar, manager of Rambam hospital. Within one decade, the number of visits in the oncology departments in the hospital increased from 105,000 to 163,000 visits. The result is unsupportable overload on the system. There are not enough beds.
This problem is not only in Rambam, it is felt in other hospitals too. In Shiba hospital, in Tel Hashomer, each year there are 4,500 new cancer patients. In part of the units, like those treating GI tract cancer and melanoma, the number was doubled in the last 4 years with the same number of oncologists.
In Hadassa hospital, increase of cancer is reported too.
In Ichilov hospital, every month thousands of patients are treated, and every night 30 patients are hospitalized.

Recommendation 4
That the Canadian Medical Association, the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons, the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the World Health Organization consider updating their guidelines and continuing education materials regarding the diagnosis and treatment of electromagnetic hypersensitivity to ensure they are based on the latest scientific evidence and reflect the symptoms of affected Canadians.
Recommendation 5
That the Government of Canada continue to provide reasonable accommodations for environmental sensitivities, including electromagnetic hypersensitivity, as required under the Canadian Human Rights Act.
Recommendation 6
That Health Canada ensure the openness and transparency of its processes for the review of Safety Code 6, so that all Canadians have an opportunity to be informed about the evidence considered or excluded in such reviews, that outside experts are provided full information when doing independent reviews, and that the scientific rationale for any change is clearly communicated.
Recommendation 7
That the Government of Canada establish a system for Canadians to report potential adverse reactions to radiofrequency fields.
Recommendation 8
That an independent scientific body recognized by Health Canada examine whether measures taken and guidelines provided in other countries, such as France and Israel, to limit the exposure of vulnerable populations, including infants, and young children in the school environment, to radiofrequencies should be adopted in Canada.
Recommendation 9
That the Government of Canada develop an awareness campaign relating to the safe use of wireless technologies, such as cell phones and Wi-Fi, in key environments such as the school and home to ensure that Canadian families and children are reducing risks related to radiofrequency exposure.
Recommendation 10
That Health Canada conduct a comprehensive review of all existing literature relating to radiofrequency fields and carcinogenicity based on international best practices.
Recommendation 11
That the Government of Canada, through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, consider funding research into the link between radiofrequency fields and potential health effects such as cancer, genetic damage, infertility, impairment to development and behaviour, harmful effects to eyes and on the brain, cardiovascular, biological and biochemical effects.
Recommendation 12
That the Government of Canada and manufacturers consider policy measures regarding the marketing of radiation emitting devices to children under the age of 14, in order to ensure they are aware of the health risks and how they can be avoided.
I thank you for your continued support and actions over the past three years that has help make this possible. There is much more work to do over the summer and come October to ensure these recommendations are acted upon, however this is a BIG step in the right direction.
Sincerely,

This lawsuit is the height of harassment. All Mr. Jackanin has ever asked for is proof that the smart meters are safe. Many people have been asking for this same proof before agreeing to having one put on their homes, and BC Hydro has harassed, bullied, and lied. People have been threatened with loss of power during the cold winter, despite having young children or being ill. People have been pushed around verbally and physically. Homes and personal property have been damaged. Yet BC Hydro faces no retribution by either the BCUC or the government.
There is serious evidence from independent scientists that RF radiation is harmful. It is a 2b carcinogen like lead, DDT, HIV and many industrial chemicals. Hundreds of independent scientists have performed thousands of peer reviewed studies showing that prolonged exposure can cause various types of health problems ranging from sleep and neurological disorders, to fertility and cardiac problems, even DNA damage and cancer. I would be happy to share a huge library of studies I’ve collected over the years, or to put you in touch with some of the world renowned scientists who are warning us that RF/microwave radiation should be avoided.
Also there have been fires and many failures with the meters overheating and melting. These are made of combustible plastic where analogs were made of glass and metal. The ITRON meters contain lithium metal batteries, which are being banned by many airlines. They can explode and burn when heated as they will be when sitting in the summer sun, or exposed to moisture like condensation. They have remote disconnect switches which were found to be the cause of fires in places like Saskatchewan and Oregon.
Further the meters are being put into a meter base that was designed and certified to hold an analog (non electrical) meter and not an electrical digital or smart meter. As far as we know these meters have not been certified safe as is required by law. Utility equipment is exempt from CSA certification on the condition that it is certified by a professional electrical engineer licensed by BC. ( http://www.bclaws.ca/EPLibraries/bclaws_new/document/ID/freeside/12_100_2004#section21 ) When asked for this certification BC Hydro said they don’t have one.

In Texas there have been many ITRON Openway smart meters (the same used in BC) that have burned. In a lawsuit testimony described how the meter blades were thinner than the analog which caused a gap which led to arcing and fires. http://www.stopsmartmetersbc.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Reed_Answering_Brief-1.pdf page 8 Design flaws led to “palettes” of burned meters, but customers were to be told it was their meter base that caused the problem.
Our Charter of Rights and Freedoms says that no government or government agency can force us to use something for which there is justifiable reason for concern. There definitely is reason for concern and Mr. Jackanin is right to protect his tenants and the owner’s property.
If you would like more information about anything that I’ve said, please let me know.
Regards,
Sharon Noble

Template for Non Consent and Removal of Smart Meters
Those who explicitly or implicitly (i.e. through failure to act) violate laws and your rights are liable individually if you contractually default them using a process such as this — in which you state the violations, demand your constitutional rights be upheld, state your terms, and provide an affidavit of facts which you affirm to be true. An unrebutted affidavit becomes judgment in commerce.

AT&T just got hit with a $100 million fine after slowing down its ‘unlimited’ data -Internet Speed
The Washington Post June 17, 2015
This isn't the first time AT&T's unlimited data policy has landed the company in hot water. The Federal Trade Commission sued the telecom company in October, alleging that 3.5 million users had their Internet service slowed to dial-up speeds an average of 12 days every month.
