| Liability Game-Changer: Hawaiian Electric switches to an "opt in" proposal! | |
| Canada | Created: 22 Aug 2017 |
|
Friday night I received positive news from safe meter advocate Debra Greene PhD which was so compelling that it has become the first InPowered Podcast installment. https://youtu.be/AagT9eaAWwA Here's the gist of what she told me: - In Early 2017, several dozen Notices of Liability (and Non-Consent) were sent to the Hawaiian Electric utility heads, who were planning on blanket-installing 'smart' meters. - Now, Hawaiian Electric has announced their COMPLETE SHIFT to an "opt in" plan -- in which the utility must receive explicit consent from the homeowner in order to install a 'smart' meter! - Not only that, but the utility strangely denied that they ever even had a plan for blanket installation, despite it being openly stated for years. This significant development is the first incident we know of where a state's major utility has changed policy to "opt in". Go here for my 20-minute conversation (via YouTube video) with Debra: https://youtu.be/AagT9eaAWwA The evidence is clear: execs and officials (who are involved in causing harm) fear being held accountable in a commercial liability action. As far as I can tell, we are on to something big. More news coming soon... |

| Solution To The 'Smart' Meter Problem: THE INPOWER LIABILITY ACTION PROCESS | |
| Canada | Created: 15 Aug 2017 |
|
THE INPOWER LIABILITY ACTION PROCESS Q: What is the Liability Action (or Notice of Liability (NOL)) process? "By protecting our individual rights, we are protecting all life." A: The NOL process is a mass action of people protecting their rights and enforcing liability for harm caused by "smart" meters. It is a powerful lawful remedy for individuals and groups to place liability regarding the various harms caused the smart meter agenda, onto those responsible or complicit with it. It is a comprehensive multi-round process, based upon sending a series of Notices -- pre-written templates customized for each participant -- which establish a framework for contractually-enforceable individual liability. Over the past several years as "smart" meters have been rolled out throughout North America, we've seen other traditional legal approaches, complaints and appeals fail to achieve success thus far, as there appears to be an enormous level of systemic corruption and collusion involved, and those causing the harm are simply ignoring complaints. In contrast, the NOL process enables participants to access and reclaim their full unalienable rights, and uses the corporate system's own rules against them to enforce corporate and individual liability. In essence, utilities are changing the terms of their service contracts with each customer, without the disclosure of facts. They are also using "implied consent" to assume a customer agrees -- even if the customer says they do not but uses an "incorrect" method of communication. What the NOL does is recognize that a utility's desire to install a "smart" meter is a contractual offer, for which, in a written Notice, we conditionally accept if they can disprove our affidavit (a document we verify as true), point-by-point, in an affidavit of their own. If they cannot do so, our affidavit and terms stand, and each Respondent* is individually subject to the terms of our conditional acceptance. These terms include a fee schedule of a dollar amount of your choosing (as you have the power to create terms), per day that they would be in violation of your terms. These amounts are fully enforceable, and subsequent document templates and plans for enforcement are in place. Respondents are unable to disprove the statements made in the NOL or the facts used in the affidavit, because our facts are true and verifiable, whereas the propaganda they use is not. The NOL process implements Contract Law, Common Law, Commercial Law (Uniform Commercial Code) and Law Merchant. It is multi-faceted, and operates in multiple jurisdictions. The NOL is based upon a higher level of understanding of how this system has been created & operates. * - Respondents are utility execs and gov't officials who are promoting (or not yet openly opposing) the "smart" meter agenda. Note about "smart" meter harm: For admissions from industry that utilities use "smart" meters to capture and monetize unlawful in-home surveillance data from YOUR home, see: www.bit.ly/smartspying1 and www.bit.ly/smartspying2. "Smart" meters also cause risks to your health, fires, hacking, and overbilling. These are all likewise now proven. (See the documentary Take Back Your Power.) Q: What are the results so far? While the process will soon be openly available, there have been 3 "seed" groups in North America using this process to address the 'smart' meter issue. More than 250 individuals have participated at this early stage. The early results, though still somewhat speculative, appear to indicate a correlation between the liability being enforced and several Respondents resigning or not seeking reelection. However, many within industry or government will not admit to the NOL being a factor. As an example, Corix Utilities CEO Brett Hodson received more than 100 Notices of Liability ("round 1") and or Notices of Fault ("round 2") from participants in BC. Five days later, his unplanned resignation was internally announced, and covered in Business In Vancouver. Eight Seattle City Councilmembers received Notice of Default ("round 3") from 20 participants in Seattle, contractually being bound to $2.6M per month of liability. In the weeks that followed, 3 of these 8 announced they were quitting politics. Two of these, according to insiders, were entirely unexpected. And one quit before her term was up. Later, the utility CEO also resigned. In Michigan, 4 of the 8 Respondents who were at the MPSC no longer appeared to be at the company within several months of being on the receiving end of the liability action. A city attorney also resigned 1 month after receiving the process, stating that the utility DTE has a budget of $20M per year to 'lobby' state legislators. And, the MI Attorney General began calling for a free opt-out, after being on the receiving end of the process. (At first, he attempted to refuse the documents; so Claimants arranged to have him served in person.) Are all of these results merely a staggeringly improbable "coincidence"? It is doubtful. One thing we know is that these indications are consistent with results of an individual application of the NOL process previous to "smart" meters, in which more than a dozen public officials stepped down from regional to federal levels. In other cases, safe analog meters have been protected and not replaced with "smart" meters. The goal is that, by numbers of people engaging in this powerful process, the "smart" meter agenda will be discontinued. We are seeing confidence-boosting signs this will happen in conjunction with insider admissions that "smart" meters are both unlawful and harmful on multiple levels. Note: when a Respondent leaves office, the liability remains attached to both their office and them as an individual. Note: anyone can do the NOL process, no matter if they have an analog meter, a "smart" meter, or anything in between. DOCUMENT TEMPLATES, VIDEOS, GUIDES: http://www.InPowerMovement.com |

| Frank Clegg was the president of Microsoft Canada. Now he's leading a charge to change Canada's technology rules. (2013) | |
| Canada | Created: 11 Jul 2017 |
|
Frank Clegg wasn’t always an activist - Quite the contrary. He spent 14 years at Microsoft Canada before retiring as president in 2005. Before that tech giant, Clegg put in a dozen years at IBM. But in the years since, Clegg has been a driving force behind a number of not-so-corporate causes. There was Citizens for Clean Air (C4CA), the grassroots group that waged war on plans to build an Oakville power plant. There was the proposed quarry in Melancthon that would have dug up hundreds of hectares of rich farmland to get at the limestone underneath. Since claiming victory in both those battles, Clegg has found what would seem an unlikely new cause, given his career in the tech industry: electromagnetic radiation (EMR), the radiation emitted from technological devices. Canadians for Safe Technology, or C4ST, is a grassroots advocacy group that wants an overhaul of federal policy on the radiation emitted from what’s now ubiquitous technology: cellphones, wi-fi, baby monitors, cell towers. Its members have campaigned against wireless routers in schools, cell towers in residential areas and called for reviews of federal rules governing EMR, citing World Health Organization research that found the radiation to be possibly carcinogenic. Clegg was approached by concerned residents in early 2012, he said, after some cell towers were put up on an Oakville street. Intrigued, he began scouring research done on the topic and taking readings of radiation near the towers. “It was just off the charts,” said Clegg. “I thought, ‘There’s something here, it’s just not right.’” The cause had found a champion. As the number of cell towers has exploded across the country, so has opposition to them. Municipalities have no say in where the federally regulated towers go, which has frustrated local politicians and residents. And research, including the World Health Organization’s, has, controversially, cast doubt on the long-term safety of radiofrequency emissions. Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 lays out standards for radiofrequency emissions. Earlier this year, the federal health agency asked the Royal Society of Canada for an independent expert assessment of the policy. That process has become marred in controversy after red flags were raised about a possible conflict of interest involving the University of Ottawa professor tipped to chair the panel. Chair Dr. Daniel Krewski resigned in July. C4ST continues to raise concerns about other members of the panel. Clegg was born and raised in tiny Bradford, Ont., on a farm that raised cattle and later, hogs. He went to the University of Waterloo and from there, to IBM. At no stage was he an activist. “I’d never done anything, I’d never been involved in any advocacy,” said Clegg. “It was a gradual process.” It started some time around 2003, when Det. Sgt. Paul Gillespie, who built the child exploitation section of the Toronto police, wrote an angry email to Bill Gates about the difficulty police — trained to work the streets, not the Internet — faced tracking down online predators. Gates ordered Microsoft Canada, of which Clegg was president, to do something about it. The result was CETS, the Child Exploitation Tracking System, now used around the world. “We ended up building a system to help police catch pedophiles on the Internet, so that was just an amazing, amazing opportunity to learn and contribute,” said Clegg. “It was as rewarding as any award I ever got at Microsoft.” Clegg also got involved with CNIB, formerly the Canadian National Institute for the Blind, helping to create a digital library for people who are visually impaired. The tech executive crisscrossed the country with the organization’s then-president who was visually impaired and running an organization with more people than Microsoft. “It just gave me a whole different perspective on, you know, as a company you can have more of an impact with people and, quite frankly in the press, by doing amazing things.” By 2004, it was time for a break. Clegg took a sabbatical from Microsoft to travel with his wife and two daughters. “During that time, you get a chance to think and reflect on your life,” said Clegg. By the time he got back, he knew he didn’t want to return to his former role. He tried to retire. “I’m doing a terrible job,” said Clegg. He’s still in the business world, working on a software startup and sitting on several company boards. And then, of course, the community causes. To those who shake their heads at the former tech exec leading the charge for tighter rules on electromagnetic radiation, Clegg said it’s about balance. “I’ve seen the amazing things technology can do, this incredible impact it can have on people’s lives . . . I’m all for that. I just think we need to be smart about how we deploy it,” said Clegg. That starts with updating Canada’s standards, he said. “We need to rewrite this whole system,” said Clegg. “I’m optimistic. We started this whole power plant battle and people said, ‘Nobody’s ever knocked out a power plant in North America. We said, ‘Well, it just needs to be done.’ I have the same optimism that if we get to the right people in government, they’ll pay attention and change it.” |

| Major Canadian Study Finds Cell Phone Use Significantly Increases Risk for Brain Cancer | |
| Canada | Created: 1 Jun 2017 |
|
A new report published this week in American Journal of Epidemiology confirms that Canadians who have used cellphones for 558 hours or more have more than a doubled risk of brain cancer. These important findings strengthen the association between cell phone use and glioma, which is an aggressive brain cancer. The original 13-nation Interphone study for the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization reported a 40% increase in brain cancer for those using phones for 1640 lifetime hours. This new study found that Canadians had more than a doubled glioma risk when they were analyzed apart from the 12 other countries. "This study adds more evidence linking cell phone use with brain cancer. We believe the criteria has been met for radio frequency radiation to be classified as a probable human carcinogen. Governments need to take immediate action to inform the public and enact protective policies," stated Dr. Anthony Miller, a senior advisor to the World Health Organization and scientific advisor to the Environmental Health Trust. Miller recently presented a 2017 review of the current peer reviewed science linking phone radiation to cancer at an international conference on Wireless and Health at the Israel Institute for Advanced Studies organized in cooperation with the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and Environmental Health Trust. "Governments have allowed this technology to pervade our lives saying it did not have proof it could harm us. This latest analysis of Canadian Interphone study data that found a statistically significant doubling of risk for glioma among cell phone users with only 558 lifetime hours of use," stated Dr. Devra Davis, President and Founder of Environmental Health Trust. Davis points out, "It doesn't take long for most teenagers to surge past that amount cell phone use." Davis cautions about the rollout of 5G, "Not only does 5G plan to utilize cell phone frequencies, it also aims to incorporate millimeter waves that are frequencies already used at higher power as military weapons. Acknowledging the scientific evidence we have, how can this 5G rollout continue?"

| Airline pilot has nowhere to escape from wireless radiation (2012) | |
| Canada | Created: 19 May 2017 |
|
Professional pilot Melissa Chalmers has moved twice in 10 months to escape wireless radiation and worries she’s running out of places to hide. The commercial pilot of 20 years is on sick leave. She suffers from sensitivity to electromagnetic waves — the invisible waves given off by almost everything electric, in particular, those emitted by communication towers that are popping up across Canada. Chalmers, who lives near Grand Bend on Lake Huron, may be moving again because of a new a cell tower not far from her forested home. “They have put a tower up down the road. I’m just waiting for it to be turned on and then I will probably have to leave the home,” she said. Chalmers first noticed, about two-and-a-half years ago when she lived in London, that the nausea she felt when she was in her apartment subsided when she left. Cellphones, cellphone towers, wireless internet routers, cordless phones and power lines have all been recognized as possible contributors to electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EMS), which is caused by significant exposure from radio waves. EMS symptoms include poor sleep, fatigue, headache, nausea, dizziness, heart palpitations, memory impairment and skin rashes. Dr. Riina Bray, medical director, Environmental Health Clinic, Toronto’s Women College Hospital, is a leading physician on EMS and its symptoms. “I’m just basically seeing more and more folks with electro hypersensitivity . . . there is a small fraction of the population who are hypersensitive and the WHO (World Health Organization) supports that phenomenon as being real,” she told the Star. “With the continuous onslaught of this stuff in our society it is very hard for these folks . . . to get better faster.” “If I have to move again,” Chalmers told the Star, “it will be three times since Christmas, so I am getting pretty tired of moving and I really don’t know where I am going to go at this point.” Critics say if Industry Canada, which has total control over telecommunications, has its way there will be no place for people such as Chalmers to live. Industry Canada did not respond to a Star request for an interview. Bray said the public should not have to prove harm. “It should be done by industry and government,” she says. Municipalities that have tried to control the number and location of cells towers say Industry Canada has told them it would block any attempt to usurp its powers. The municipality of Lambton Shore near Lake Huron found out where it stood when it mused about creating a community, Port Franks, free of wireless radiation as did Oakville when it introduced its own protocol calling for a 200-metre setback. “I went to that meeting in Oakville where it was discussed and it became very clear from Industry Canada and Health Canada that they were not going to change, they were not listening. They were there to dictate,” said Frank Klegg, a retired Microsoft Canada president, who is now head of Citizens For Safe Technology (C4ST). Klegg said C4ST wants to work with the federal government to establish so-called white zones across the country where people who are sensitive to wireless radiation can seek refuge. Oakville Mayor Rob Burton said the federal government doesn’t even consult the municipality on 95 per cent of the applications to erect cell towers and for the remaining 5 per cent he suggested the consultation is little more than lip service. “What shocks me is the federal government pretending that we have a say,” Burton said. “Our protocol is designed to get us out of the line of fire . . . we have turned away seven or eight now (but) then the proponent then goes to Industry Canada (which) gives them the go-ahead,” he said. |

| Feds Undermine Secret Wireless Warnings, As Evidence of Harm Mounts | |
| Canada | Created: 30 Apr 2017 |
|
Ottawa – A CBC investigation revealed that cell phones exceed maximum permitted exposures during normal use, and expose Canadians to three to four times more radiofrequency energy than measured during testing per regulations. Since 81% of Canadians are unaware of fine print warnings in the phone or manual, they naturally hold cell phones against ears and carry phones in pockets. Few people distance wireless devices from the body by at least 5 to 20 mm for phones and 20+ cm for tablets. In response to CBC, the federal government alleges that phones are still “safe” when exposure standards are exceeded. Claims of outright safety is a departure from Health Canada’s precautionary approaches instituted following the Krever Commission into the tainted blood supply, to acknowledge uncertainties and not to await complete proof of potential harm before taking reasonable action (such as public education). Instead, Health Canada is awaiting consensus that the totality of science shows biological effects that are adverse – a near-impossible bar of proof in a world of industry-sponsored generation of doubt and regulatory capture. Health Canada refers to a “safety margin.” This is a 10-fold lowering of the exposure limit to extrapolate from laboratory animals to healthy workers, and 5-fold to go from healthy adults to our most vulnerable, including children. “If cell phone radiation was a chemical contaminant, regulators would apply greater “uncertainty” (not “safety”) factors, providing greater protection. If drinking water or air was much more polluted than allowed, we would see action,” said Meg Sears, Chair of Prevent Cancer Now. “Public health needs protective limits and relevant testing. At a minimum we need education to put a distance between devices and our bodies. Instead, the federal government is denying and compounding the problem, by accepting compliance testing that is known to be inadequate, undermining their own standards and encouraging complacency.” Canada restricts human exposure to microwave/radiofrequency radiation (RFR) to prevent excessive tissue heating, but extensive research reports biological effects at lower (non-thermal) levels. In laboratories, non-thermal effects are seen in biological systems, and in industries chemists exploit non-thermal effects to speed reactionswith low energy input. In short, industries are commercializing what Health Canada alleges is impossible. These non-thermal effects include DNA damage and oxidative stress, which can contribute to cancers. In 2011, a Panel of the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer found that RFR possibly causes cancer. Research has progressed, and 2017 reviews from India, Sweden, and Polandconclude that cell phone use is probably or certainly linked with increased risk of brain tumours, most notably in long-term cellphone users with more cumulative hours, and in those who started using cell phones at younger ages. In January 2017, renowned Canadian cancer epidemiologist Dr. Anthony Miller, leading an expert scientific group, stated that the evidence that RFR causes cancer has strengthened considerablysince 2011. In the US, brain tumours have overtaken leukemia and lymphoma as the most common cancer in adolescents. When contacted by Prevent Cancer Now, Edmonton neuro-oncologistDr. Jacob Easawconfirmed, "younger patients with brain tumours are presenting more frequently to my clinics. One possible explanation is the use of cell phones. Younger patients may especially be at risk because of thinner skulls and developing/maturing brains.” Dr. Easaw is working with Dr. Faith Davis to establish a Canadian brain tumour registry, but making a link with cell phones is difficult – it is hard for people to recall how they used a phone. He wondered if there could be an app for that, “you would think it would be possible to track how a phone is used and where it is stored near the body.” Tumours are also being seen in locations where phones were habitually stored such as the breast – something that is worth tracking. When asked about reporting ill effects associated with wireless devices, Health Canada merely indicated that problems should be reported online, as for other consumer products. “Surely a tumour mirroring where a cell phone was used or stored should be reported to Health Canada differently from a defunct toaster,” observed Sears. “This important medical information needs to be collected.” Dr. Easaw concludes, “Importantly, the CBC investigation suggests that there should be an immediate re-examination of safety testing procedures for wireless devices to more clearly reflect how these devices are used.” For more information, please contact: Meg Sears PhD, Chair and Scientific Lead, Prevent Cancer Now 613 297-6042 |

Why your government isn’t protecting you from Wi–Fi and cell phone radiation when research shows this radiation causes cancer. The American scientific journal Environmental Pollution reports, in its next issue, that government safety guidelines for microwave radiation emitted by mobile phones, Wi-Fi, smart meters, and other common wireless devices, are fundamentally flawed and fail to protect the public from this possible carcinogen. Increasing scientific evidence shows wireless radiation causes cancer and infertility and other health effects, but due to a flawed assumption in safety guidelines, governments in the United States, Canada, and the UK are allowing their citizens to be overexposed to microwave radiation from wireless technology. Why? Because governments relied on the wrong model when declaring these devices to be safe. Ionizing radiation such as x-rays and gamma rays are known to cause cancer by detaching the negative ion – the electron – at the heart of human cell structure. Non-ionizing radiation, such as microwaves, do not detach electrons. Therefore when determining whether microwave-emitting devices were safe to be sold to the public, governments formulated their consumer safety guidelines with the understanding that microwave radiation does not directly or immediately discharge electrons. Despite the growing number of scientific studies documenting that microwave radiation causes cancer, governments have refused to update their guidelines. One critical aspect of non-ionizing radiation has been overlooked. Ionizing radiation increases free radicals in the body directly. Non-ionizing radiation increases free radicals in the body indirectly, by interfering with repair mechanisms that neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are carcinogenic. Therefore by interfering with the body’s ability to repair free radical damage, microwave radiation is also carcinogenic. Microwave radiation was used in the 1940s for military radar, and was widely adopted for civilian residential use in the 1970s to cook food. Microwave ovens are shielded because microwaves are known to cause heating. At that time, it was assumed that the only danger from microwave exposure was tissue heating, known as the “thermal effect”. This led to thermal guidelines for microwave radiation. This paper shines a spotlight on the misguided genesis of government regulations that are based on the thermal effect and documents free-radical damage induced by non-ionizing radiation. As usage of microwave–emitting devices increases and is marketed to younger consumers without caution, we can expect a societal increase of certain types of cancers including glioblastoma as well as infertility and other health effects associated with free-radical damage. Indeed this is already happening. Publication: Havas, M. 2016. When theory and observation collide: Can non-ionizing radiation cause cancer? Environmental Pollution, 219: 000-000.
