PROTEST AGAINST CELLULAR ANTENNAS: PUT A BLACK RIBBON OR A BLACK FLAG IN YOUR WINDOW
Israel Created: 6 Jan 2006
Hallo,
I am from Israel , a very small country were the cellular, industry, with help of govermernt authorities install thousands of cellular antennas with maximum radiation of 45 microwatt, at distance about 40 meter or less from houses.
It is very difficult to fight such corruption done only for the greed of money.
I am asking - from all citizens suffering electro-pollution radiation
all over the worldTO PUT A BLACK RIBBON or a black flag in the windows, balcony, etc as a protest against this dangerous technology of third generation cellular antenas that is for the only one purpose of children and teens seeing multimedia and games through cellulars.
Please put a black ribbon also for all those who have died or will die as consequence of microwave artificial radiation that is in every place,
every town, inside our houses, and even this radiation penetrates inside our bodies without any limits.

Families in planning disputes wanted for TV programme

A television production company working on a BBC series about planning disputes and planning law is looking for people ‘in the middle of a planning dispute,
or anxiously awaiting a planning decision from the council.’

The series currently being researched by North One Television, aims to follow home and small business owners through the planning process,
concentrating on unusual, difficult or contested applications. It is, says the company, ‘purely observational and does not attempt to advise or to influence
the process in any way’.

Colin Byrne, from North One, said: “Ultimately, we will be looking for case to follow in our pilot episode.
At this stage it is just a question of having a chat with people on the phone at a time which is convenient for them, and the conversation remains
confidential.”
Anyone interested in taking part is asked to get in touch with Colin on 0121 697 1920 or e-mail colin.byrne@northonetv.com .

Please see enclosed report in Sutton News paper on 30/12/2005
I would like to encourage as many people as possible to phone or e-mail as we want the mast issue on the agenda.
Best wishes

השלום והברכה,


הנדון: אחריותך האישית להמשך הנזקים, בגין המשך התעלמותך והתכחשותך למחקרים שנשלחו אליך המוכיחים שואה אלקטרו-מגנטית


א. הריני מודה לך על שלושת מכתביך מיום 18 לדצמבר 2005, שמשום מה לא צוין עליהם מספר סידורי ולכן אני מסמנם מ.ת.ה. 107, מ.ת.ה. 108, מ.ת.ה. 109.
ב. הריני מבקש להזכירך, שזו הפעם העשירית שאני שולח אליך מחקרים שהנך מתעלם ומתכחש להם. לכן, אשלח לך כיום תמצית של חלקם כדי שתוכל להיווכח עד כמה הנך עובר עבירות חמורות ומסכן אזרחי מדינה שלמה, וזאת, בניגוד למכתבך אלי מיום 30 אוקטובר 2005 שבו הנך כותב: "המשרד סבור, כמוך, שיש לצמצם את החשיפה למינימום אפשרי. המשרד לא רק סבור שיש להפחית את החשיפה, המשרד פועל להפחתת החשיפה".
ג. הריני מתכבד לצרף בזה תמצית חלק ממספר מחקרים שנשלחו אליך.
מחקרה של רבה גודמן ועמיתיה באוניברסיטת קולומביה בניו-יורק מסומן על ידי KILM 45. מחקר שנמשך 15 שנה ובו מסקנות: קרינות אלקטרומגנטיות גורמות להתעוררות הגן הקדם מסרטן, הגן מקבל יותר מוטציות, עד שיאבד שליטה ויגרום לחלוקת תאים בלתי נשלטות, דהיינו לסרטן. הגן גורם להלם חום HSP70 גם ליצירת חלבונים שעוזרים לתא במצבי חום, קרינה, אינפקציה וכו'. אך גם לתאים פגועי DNA להתחמק מעצירת החלוקה וכניסה למסלול מוות מתוכן, כלומר, תא פגוע DNA (במקום להפסיק להתחלק ולהכנס למסלול מוות מתוכנן) ימשיך להתחלק ולהתרבות וחלק מתאים

1. פגועים אלה יגיע למצב סרטני. הם פורצים את מחסום ההגנה בין הדם למעבר חומרים למוח (BBB), ואז "נוזלים" אל המוח חלבוני דם, ומזהמים כימיים שחודרים לגוף. זה קורה מעשית תוך דקות ספורות והאדם מרגיש כאב ראש. תוכל לקרוא זאת במחקרים שנשלחו אליך ומסומנים KILM45A.
2. מחקר של אוניברסיטת Antalya, Turkey מפי פרופ' Ahmet Koyu וחמישה מדענים קובע: קרינה מטלפון סלולרי הפחיתה את רמת הורמון המווסת פעילות בלוטת התריס (TSH), רמות הורמוני T3 ו-T4 ירדה. מחסור ב- T3 ו-T4 גורם לעליה מסוימת של רפיון השכל/פיגור בתינוקות וכו'. מסמך 20.
3. מחקר שנערך באוניברסיטת וינה על ידי פרופסורים Elisabeth Diem וחמישה מדענים מוכיח: שבירת D.N.A על ידי קרינת טלפון סלולרי.סמך 42.
4. מחקר שנערך באוניברסיטת ת"א על ידי הפרופסורים רפי קורנשטיין ושישה מדענים מהמחלקה לגנטיקה ולרפואה מולקולרית הגיעו למסקנה שישנה השפעה של שדות אלקטרומגנטיים אף בלי עלייה בטמפרטורה. זה מצביע על השפעה של רעילות לגנים מקרינה אלקטרו מגנטית אשר לא גרמה לחימום, כלומר – השפעה ביולוגית א-תרמית. מסמך KIL 43.
5. מחקר שנערך על ידי הפרופסורים Leif Salford וחמישה מדענים ופורסם doi:10.1289/ehp.6039 (available at http://dx.doi.org) ) הראה כי קרינת מיקרוגל חלשה גורמת לדליפה של אלבומין דרך מחסום הדם במוח (תפקידו לחסום כניסת רעלים למוח, זו מערכת חיסון של המוח), זה גורם למחלות נוירולוגיות והזדקנות מוקדמת. KILM 13.
6. בעניין המרחק שאתם טוענים (ד"ר מרגליות ומר גלילי) שמ- 7 מטר זה לא מסוכן, הרי מצ"ב מחקר שנערך בגרמניה על ידי חמישה מדענים שהוכיח שאף ממרחק 400 מטר מהאנטנות קיימת סכנה לעלייה פי 3 לסרטן. מסומן KILM 3.
7) ד"ר ריצ'רד סיגל, ד"ר רוברט דאומן, וג'ונתן וולפאו ממחלקת בריאות בניו יורק, מצאו דיכוי ברמת מטבוליטים (שלוקחים חלק בחילוף חומרים ושינויים כימיים ביצור חי) מסוימים של סרוטונין ודופמין (שניהם חשובים לפעולות מוטוריות, מצב רוח שינה ועוד) בקופים שנחשפו לשדות של 60 הרץ. רק הדופמין חזר לרמה הנורמלית. הסרוטנין נשאר מודחק למספר חודשים לאחר החשיפה.
רמות נמוכות של סרוטנין קשורות לדיכאון והתאבדות.
“60 Hz Fields Induce Neurologic Changes in Monkeys" MWN Nov/Dec 1985 p. 4

8) ד"ר סטפן פרי משרות הבריאות הלאומי בבריטניה, הבחין כי חולים שחיים ליד קווי מתח היו בעלי רמות דיכאון והתאבדות גבוהות יותר. מחקר עוקב עם ד"ר רוברט בקר הראה אותו דבר.
גם מחקרים של ד"ר צ'רלס פול, מקיימברידג' מסצ'וסס, מצאו קשר חזק של פי 3 דיכאון אצל אנשים הגרים תחת קווי מתח לעומת כאלה שלא. זה היה המחקר הראשון שמצא קשר בין שדות של 60 הרץ ושינויים נוירולוגיים.
Becker, Robert, O. Cross Currents: The Perils of Electropollution, the promise of Electromedicine. Los Angeles: Jeremy P. Tatcher, 1990 p. 200-212

9) מחקרים על קרינה אלקטרומגנטית מראים קשר בין הקרינה לבין עלייה בשיעור ההתאבדות.
מחקרים כאלה מוזכרים למשל בספרים:
Robert O. Becker, M.D., Cross Currents, Penguin Putnam Inc. 1990 p. 214-5
Paul Brodeur, Currents of Death, Simon & Schuster 1989 p. 52-54

אחד מההסברים האפשריים לכך היא הפגיעה של הקרינה בהורמון הסרוטנין.
לדוגמא, ד"ר מארי אסברג ממכון קרולינסקה בשבדיה, הצביעה בוועידה שנערכה ב- 1986 על כך שבקבוצת חולים בדיכאון עם מחסור בהורמון סרוטנין, היה שיעור גבוה יותר של התאבדויות לעומת קבוצה דומה של חולים בדכאון שרמת הסרוטנין שלהם היתה נורמלית. ד"ר רוברט בקר: "כל השדות האלקטרומגנטים האבנורמלים מעשי ידי אדם, בלי קשר לתדרים שלהם, מייצרים את אותן ההשפעות. ההשפעות הללו, שסוטות מהתפקוד הנורמלי, מזיקות מעשית או פוטנציאלית, הן:

*השפעות על תאים גדלים, כמו עליות בשיעור התחלקות תא סרטני.
* עליות במקרי סרטן מסוימים
* התפתחות אבנורמלית בעוברים
* שינויים בכימיקלים של מערכת העצבים, והתוצאה היא אבנורמליות כגון
התאבדויות
* שינויים במחזורים ביולוגיים
* תגובות של מתח בחיות החשופות, אם הן חשופות לזמן ממושך, התוצאה היא
ירידה ביעילות מערכת החיסון
* שינויים ביכולת למידה.
Becker, Robert. M.D., Cross Currents, Penguin Putnam Inc. 1990 p. 214-5

10) ד"ר אנדרו מרינו יחד עם שלושה חוקרים נוספים, פרסמו בעיתון המדעי Physiological Chemistry & Physics, ב- 1979, כי מצאו קשר בין נוכחות השדות האלקטרומגנטים מקווי חשמל ומקרי התאבדות.
שנתיים מאוחר יותר, לאחר שמדדו את חוזק השדה המגנטי בבתים של 590 קורבנות התאבדות, ואצל 594 אנשים ששימשו כקבוצת ביקורת, דיווחו ב- Health Physics כי באופן מובהק, היו יותר התאבדויות במקומות עם שדה מגנטי גבוה. הם האמינו שזו היתה הפעם הראשונה שבה מראים קשר בין התנהגות אנושית ובין שדות אלקטרומגנטים סביבתיים.
Brodeur, Paul. Currents of Death, Simon & Schuster 1989 p. 52-3
11) ד"ר ריצ'רד פיליפס, ממעבדות צפון מערב באטל פסיפיק, ביצע מחקרים על חזירים וחולדות, שנחשפו לשדות של 60 הרץ שעוצבו במיוחד לסימולצית שדות אלקטרומגנטיים של קווי מתח. כמעט כל קבוצת החזירים מתה ממחלה אפידמית שסחפה את כל הקבוצה, לעומת זאת בקבוצת הביקורת שלא נחשפה מתו מעטים מאוד. האוכלוסיה הנחשפת נפגעה במערכת החיסון. מחקר עוקב על חולדות מצא דיכוי בייצור מלטונין (בחולדות שנחשפו ל- 60 הרץ במשך 3 שבועות), ירידה משמעותית ברמת הטסטוסטרון בדם (בחולדות שנחשפו לשלושה חודשים), שינויים במערכת הנוירומוסקולרית בבעלי חיים שנחשפו ל- 30 יום, ועלייה במומים מולדים גם בחולדות וגם בחזירים שהיו חשופים בצורה ממושכת במשך שני דורות.


12) ד"ר חוזה דלגדו ממרכז רמון, וקחל במדריד, מצאו מומים התפתחותיים גדולים בעוברי עופות. רוב המומים קרו ב- MHz 1000 בחוזק של 1 מיליגאוס. (העבודה נמשכה לאחר מכן ע"י ד"ר ג'וקלין ליל, שמצא אותו דבר).
5 מחקרים מתוך 6 במעבדות שמומנו ע"י הצי האמריקאי, מצאו כי שדות מגנטים ברמה נמוכה מאוד ותדר נמוך מאוד בפעימות, תרמו לעלייה באבנורמליות אצל עוברי עופות צעירים.

Pentagon deploys array of non-lethal weapons

MICROWAVING IRAQ
“ Pacifying” Rays Pose New Hazards To Iraqis
By William Thomas 01/24/05 ( World Exclusive )
Desperate to improve images of civilian carnage, US commanders are using portable electromagnetic-frequency weapons in Fallujah and other “hot spots” in the Sunni Triangle to pacify restive neighborhoods with invisible EM radiation. “Active Denial” antenna arrays mounted on Humvees are also being deployed to panic and disperse hostile crowds by flash-burning exposed flesh with microwaves. But unintended side effects from the hidden rooftop transmitters are reportedly triggering violent attacks by exposed insurgents—while leading to AWOL rates of up to 15% among US forces disoriented by these same weapons, as well as the electromagnetic emanations from high-power radars, radios and “jammers”.
On the rooftop of a shrapnel-pocked building in the ruins of Fallujah, a team of GI’s stealthily sets up a gray plastic dome about two-feet in diameter. Keeping well back from the sight lines of the street and nearby buildings, they plug the cable connectors on the side of the “popper” into a power unit. The grunts have no clue what the device does. They are just following orders.
“Most of the worker-bees that are placing these do not even know what is inside the ‘domes’, just that they were told where to place them by Intel weenies with usually no nametag,” reports my source, a very well informed combat veteran I will call “Hank”.
The grunts call the plastic devices “poppers” or “domes”. Once activated, each hidden transmitter emits a widening circle of invisible energy capable of passing through metal, concrete and human skulls up to half a mile away. “They are saturating the area with ULF, VLF and UHF freqs,” Hanks says, with equipment derived from US Navy undersea sonar and communications.

But its not being used to locate and talk to submarines under Baghdad.
After powering up the unit, the grunts quickly exit the area. It is their commanders’ fervent hope that any male survivors enraged by brutal American bombardments that damaged virtually every building in this once thriving “City of Mosques”, displacing a quarter-million residents while murdering thousands of children, women and elders in their homes—will lose all incentive for further resistance and revenge.
A dedicated former soldier, whose experiences during and after Desert Storm are chronicled in my book, Bringing The War Home, Hank stays in close touch with his unit serving “in theater” in Iraq. When I asked how many “poppers” are being used to irradiate Iraqi neighborhoods, he checked and got back to me. There are “at least 25 of these that have been deployed to theater, and used. Some have conked out and been removed, so I do not know how many are currently active and broadcasting.”
Hank is still losing friends in Iraq, where front-line soldiers put their current casualty figures from all causes—combat, accidents, psychological crackups and suicides—at 5,000 dead and 22,000 to 30,000 injured.
Hank blames those at the top for hospital counts of upwards of 65,000 children killed since the 2003 invasion. He is concerned that innocent Iraqi families and unsuspecting GIs alike are being used as test subjects for a new generation of “psychotronic” weapons using invisible beams across the entire electromagnetic spectrum to selectively alter moods, behavior and bodily processes.
“The ‘poppers’ are capable of using a combo of ULF, VLF, UHF and EHF wavelengths in any combination at the same time, sometimes using one as a carrier wave for the others,” Hank explains, in a process called superheterodyning. The silent frequencies daily sweeping Fallujah and other trouble spots are the same Navy “freqs that drove whales nuts and made them go astray onto beaches.”
MICROWAVING IRAQ
The Gulf War veteran observes that occupied Iraq has become a “saturation environment” of electromagnetic radiation. Potentially lethal electromagnetic smog from high-power US military electronics and experimental beam weapons is placing already hard-hit local populations–-particularly children—at even higher risk of experiencing serious illness, suicidal depression, impaired cognitive ability, even death.
American troops constantly exposed “up close” to their own microwave transmitters, battlefield radars and RF weapons are also seeing their health eroded by electromagnetic sickness. It’s common, Hank recalls, for GIs to warm themselves on cold desert nights by basking in the microwaves radiating from their QUEEMS communications and RATT radar rigs.
Constant microwave emissions from ground-sweeping RATT rigs and SINGARS mobile microwave networks are much more powerful than civilian microwave cell phone nets linked in many clinical studies to maladies ranging from asthma, cataracts, headaches, memory loss, early Alzheimer’s, bad dreams and cancer.
Even more powerful US military radars, radios and “jammers” blasting from ground bases and overflying aircraft add to this electromagnetic din.
This is bad enough. But this is also Iraq, Hank says, where ever-present sand acts as miniature quartz reflectors, unpredictably amplifying the ricocheting electronic smog so thick that if it were visible, every vehicle in Baghdad and the surrounding Sunni Triangle would be driving blind with their headlights on.
THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING
This is grim news to friend and foe alike—already overloaded by constant adrenal stress, waterborne pollutants, infectious sand fleas, dehydration, pharmaceutical drugs and exposure to radioactive Uranium-238 fired in “hose ‘em down” exuberance by US ground and air cannons and cruise missiles.
As Hank puts it, DU is “the gift that keeps on giving.” For the next four billion years, medical investigators say, large populated expanses of Kosovo, Afghanistan, Puerto Rico and Iraq will remain lethally radioactive from Made In America depleted uranium dust.
What kind of people would do this?
Clinical tests have repeatedly shown how microwaves “rev up” incipient cancer cells several hundred times. Triggered by nuclear radiation, and turned rogue by electromagnetic warfare unleashed by US forces, human cancer cells have been found to continue proliferating wildly—even after the power source is turned off
MICROWAVING WOMBS AT GREENHAM COMMON
While the mobile microwave weapons currently deployed in Iraq may or may not lead to lasting harm, rooftop “poppers” and “domes” left to radiate for days at a time are irradiating unsuspecting families already coping with illness, wounds, hunger and the stress of losing homes and loved ones, whose rotting corpses cannot be buried under the sights of marine snipers.
A preview of what lies in store for long-suffering families in Iraq can be gleaned from Greenham Common, where the British Army reportedly used an electromagnetic weapon against 30,000 women who had camped for nearly two decades around that UK military base to protest the deployment of nuclear-tipped US cruise missiles.
One day in the summer of 1984, more than 2,000 British troops suddenly pulled back, leaving the fence unguarded. Peace mom Kim Besley recalls that as curious women approached the gate, they “started experiencing odd health effects: swollen tongues, changed heartbeats, immobility, feelings of terror, pains in the upper body.”
Besley found her 30-year-old daughter too ill to stand. Other symptoms typical of electromagnetic exposure included skin burns, severe headaches, drowsiness, post-menopausal menstrual bleeding and menstruation at abnormal times. Besley’s daughter’s cycle changed to 14 days and took a year to return to normal.
Two late-term spontaneous miscarriages, impaired speech, and an apparent circulatory failure prompted the women to begin monitoring for a directed-energy beam, Using an EMR meter, they measured beams sweeping their camp at 100-times normal background levels.
Another harrowing example involves the sudden illness and cancer deaths of US embassy staff in Moscow after being deliberately targeted with very weak pulsed microwaves by Soviet experimenters and fascinated CIA onlookers running “Project Phoenix” in 1962.
Very Low Frequency (VLF) weapons include the dozens of “poppers” currently deployed in Iraq, which can be dialed to or “long wave” frequencies capable of traveling great distances through the ground or intervening structures. As air force Lt Col. Peter L. Hays, Director of the Institute for National Security Studies reveals, “Transmission of long wavelength sound creates biophysical effects; nausea, loss of bowels, disorientation, vomiting, potential internal organ damage or death may occur.”
Hays calls VLF weapons “superior” because their directed energy beams do not lose their hurtful properties when traveling through air to tissue. A French weapon radiating at 7 hertz “made the people in range sick for hours.”
“ DRIVEN NUTS” BY ELECTROMAGENTICS IN IRAQ
Like so many other American blunders among the ruins of Babylon, the intended microwave “pacification” of rebellious neighborhoods is having unintended effects. In actual “field-testing” in the Sunni Triangle, Hank has learned that the hidden, dome-shaped devices “are removing inhibitions”. Armed individuals, already highly motivated to kill American forces are reportedly “losing all restraint” when exposed to the electromagnetic beams.
According to Hank’s buddies in Baghdad, the frequency-shifting “poppers” “are having some remarkable effects on the locals as well as our own people.” But these effects differ. Possibly, Hank surmises, because Americans come from daily domestic and military environments saturated with electromagnetic frequencies, while many Iraqis still live without reliable electricity in places largely free from electromagnetics before the American invasion.
According to members of Hank’s former unit, constant exposure to invisible emissions from radar and radio rigs—as well as to their own microwave weapons—is backfiring. “Our people are driven nuts,” Hank says. “It makes them stupid for two or three days.”
The Desert Storm veteran compared the emotional effects of constant exposure to military microwaves to a lingering low-pressure weather system that never goes away. “You feel way down for days at a time,” he emphasizes
As a consequence, AWOL rates among “spaced out” US troops are as high as 15%, Hank reports. For many deserters, it is not cowardice or conscience that is causing them to absent themselves from duty. “They are feeling so depressed,” Hank explains. “They don’t feel good. So they leave.”
According to Hank’s front-line buddies, Iraqis exposed to secret beam weapons “get laid back, confused and mellow, and then blast out in a rage, as opposed to our folks going on what could only be called a ‘bender’, and turning into a mean drunk for a while.”
Once they wander away from direct electromagnetic-fire, startled GIs come to their senses. They return to their units, Hank explains, saying, “What was I thinking?”
The recovery rate among US troops “seems to be about a day or so, where the locals are not getting over it in less than a week or more on average,” Hank has learned.
It is Hank’s hope that his revelations will prompt public debate over the secret use of electromagnetic weapons in Iraq. But lost in the arguments over these supposedly “non-lethal” weapons is a much bigger question: What are Americans doing there?
Whether soldier or civilian at home, it is our imperative duty to stop supporting those responsible for ongoing “weapons tests” in Iraq. As electrochemical “beings of light,” the strongest electromagnetic force on Earth is human conscience, acted upon.

Cell Phone Grave Dangers
Canada Created: 6 Jan 2006
Cell Phone Grave Dangers

Though intended for renovations, Chris Anderson would like all visitors to deposit their cellular phones in the cement mixer by his front door. This sounds excessive until you step into Anderson's orchard, where the pegged needle of a shrieking electromagnetic radiation (EMR) meter placed beside a connected cellphone still shows significant exposure 100 feet away. Much to the chagrin of this certified EMR-mitigation specialist, every day some 300 million cell phone users are "reaching out and touching someone you love. Yourself, and anyone else within range of the microwaves emitted by your cell phone."
Mesmerized by magical gadgets, we have yet to count the costs of miniature radio transmitters that are transforming Marconi's invention into new possibilities for portable personal pollution. As entire nations reach for pocket communicators, the explosively emergent $40 billion a year cell phone industry is poised to deliver a "Wireless Revolution" that over the next five years is expected to double the one-billion people connected by telephone lines over the past century.
Silicon sensors are already calling to each other. Soon, countless communicating microchips embedded in everything from bumpers to brooms will be sending streams of encoded electrical energy through glass, steel, concrete, bone and flesh. Exquisitely sensitive to subtle electromagnetic harmonies, human brains and bodies as intricate as galaxies depend on tiny electrical impulses to conduct complex life-processes including the ability to read, recall and respond to these words. Acting as antennas, our anatomies just as easily tune into spurious signals from radio and microwave transmissions. Blake Levitt, author of Electromagnetic Fields, says that when it comes to cellphones, "a worse frequency could not have been chosen for the human anatomy."
As cell phones conquer consumer minds and markets, researcher Carolanne Patton notes that "the brain reaches peak absorption in the UHF bands, right where cellular telecommunications operate." British military scientists have discovered that cellphone transmissions disrupt the brain sites for memory and learning, causing forgetfulness and sudden confusion.

Other studies show that electromagnetic signals from cellular phones reduce the ability to concentrate, calculate and coordinate complicated activities such as driving a car. Startled by $4 billion a year in extra claims among cellphone-wielding drivers, North American insurers did a double-take that found simply juggling `cell phones is not causing a 600% increase in accidents over other drivers busy shaving, applying makeup, tuning radios, taming pets, making out, pouring coffee, retrieving dropped cigarettes, talking and gesturing to passengers, or actually steering the vehicle.
Instead of just another dangerous distraction, tests conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy found that using a cell phone severely impairs memory and reaction times. "Hands-free" mobile speaker-phones cause even more crashes because they typically emit 10-times more brainwave interference than handheld units.

For all drivers dialing out on their cell phones, University of Toronto investigators report that the heightened probability of cracking up your car persists for up to 15-minutes after completing a call. That's comparable to the risk of crashing while driving dead drunk exclaims Dr. Chris Runball, chairman of the B.C. Medical Association's emergency medical services committee. Reeling from "dial-a-collision" costs, the government of British Columbia may join England, Spain, Israel, Switzerland and Brazil in restricting or banning the use of cell phones by drivers.
In New Zealand, cellphone towers are prohibited on school property because of possible health effects. But Health Canada regulations ignore the hidden hazards of cell-wrenching cellphones, which send pulsed signals through the skull in a process one expert likens to "jackhammers on the brain." "Safety Code 6" looks only at microwaves burning skin. "Basically, Health Canada claims if it can't cook you, it can't hurt you," says Walter McGinnis. "It's like saying cigarettes aren't dangerous unless they burn you."

One of a handful of licensed electricians who understand electromagnetic fields well enough to eliminate them from household wiring, McGinnis has been testing EMFs and collaborating with fellow testers and researchers for nearly a decade. In Victoria, where he has helped residents defeat six cellphone towers, there was dancing in the streets after Microcell Connexions withdrew its application to erect a microwave transmission tower against the Wishart Elementary School fence in the spring of 1998. Microcell spokesman Colin McCrae points out that emissions from the company's towers carry about the same energy as a 50-watt lightbulb well within federal guidelines.
This is hardly reassuring, retorts the former president of the Wisehart parents advisory council. Tania Berenuik observes that Health Canada "also told us thalidomide, asbestos and the blood supply were safe." Carrying similar risks of long-term lethality, and strangely just as legal, cellphone addiction mirrors the prestigious early allure of smoking as well as an immensely profitable industry's steadfast denial of risk and responsibility. As poisonous as cigarette smoke and even harder to corral, the cellphone's "second-hand" microwave and to bystanders particularly children riding in cars that transmit amplified cellphone signals through their steel structure. Reporting the conclusions of a 12-person British study team, scientist Sir William Stewart told London's Financial Times that "children may be more vulnerable because of their developing nervous system, the greater absorption of energy in the tissues of the head and a longer lifetime of exposure."

Roger Coghill became a long-standing advocate for health warnings to be affixed to cell phones after this biologist found that cellphone transmissions damage the ability of white blood cells to ward off infectious disease by disrupting the immune system's electromagnetic communications. Dr. Neil Cherry has measured accelerated aging, increased cell death and cancers caused by radio frequency microwaves from cellphones and their relay towers. With the brain's electro-chemical communications repeatedly zapped by lightning-like cellphone pulses, this Ph.D. biophysicist warns that headaches, fatigue, lethargy, nausea, dizziness, depression, arteriosclerosis and even Alzheimer's can result from frequent or prolonged calls on cell phones.
"There is also a higher incidence of cardiac problems," Cherry comments, "in terms of the timing function in hearts. You get more heart attacks and more heart disease - it has now been shown in many studies." The biophysicist from Lincoln University in Christ Church, New Zealand has also found that cell phones can murderously modify moods. In brains and bodies seriously derailed by tiny imbalances in trace minerals and hormones, depression, suicide, anger, rage and violence can result when calcium and serotonin levels are disrupted by cellphone transmissions.
In 1995, Cell phone sales in North America exceeded the birth rate.
Hired by the Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association to condone cellphones, public health scientist George Carlo found that rare tumors on the outside of the brain are more than doubled among cell phone callers particularly on the right side of the head where `phones are usually held. Carlo told ABC's "20/20" that cell phone causes genetic damage that leads to cancer. Warning of "the potential for a global health disaster," ABC recommended "prudent avoidance" of cellphones after finding that every cellphone they lab-tested exceeded the Federal Communication Commission's standards for EMF absorption rates. EMF researcher Dave Ashton cautioned 20/20 viewers that because cellphones constantly search for the nearest repeating tower, "long-term damage comes from cell phones in the stand-by mode." Cell phone "shields" and headsets "cannot adequately address these problems," Ashton added.
Dr. Carlo later told London's Express newspaper that cellphones cause genetic damage following a dose-response curve. That is, the more a person uses a cell phone, the more cellular destruction and health risks they incur. Cell phone-confused cells can go crazy, Carlo cautioned. Experiments on captive animals show that this cumulative DNA damage is passed on to succeeding generations.
Addicted as we are to a culture of convenience, we forget how inconvenient it is to contract cancer. An Adelaide Hospital study confirmed Carlo's conclusions after finding B-cell lymphomas doubled in mice within 18 months of one-hour daily exposure to power densities experienced by a cellphone user. B-cell lymphomas are implicated in 85% of all cancers.

READY OR NOT
As magazine-size "cellular" relay antennas hidden in church steeples and rooflines keep popping up just about everywhere, more and more communities are declaring their airspace a "No Fry Zone". But in Canada, where cell phone towers come under federal jurisdiction, municipalities are only "advisers' to a process in which no permits are required to erect transmitter towers deemed necessary for "national security." Cellphones do save a lot of lives. FCC Chairman William Kennard reports that every day more than 98,000 people make 911 calls from wireless cell phones.
Many more lives are involuntarily imperiled by non-emergency calls. Pat Irwin was working in a Colwood health food store when she noticed a truck unloading metal framework. The next morning, a new cellphone tower was ready to add its emissions to another BC Tel tower already operating down the street. There had been no announcement, no public hearings just a quiet notification to the municipality that a tower was going up, literally overnight.
The intruder radiated for a month when Irwin felt her immunity dropping. She wondered if other changes in her energy and menstrual cycle were "not from the moon or something that I ate."

Irwin also seemed more irritable after her central nervous switchboard began receiving round-the-clock cellphone calls. With cellular relay towers in Kansas and Oklahoma being shut down because they interfered with passing aircraft, Irwin sensed how the same transmissions plucked her own electrical circuitry, inflicting a "chronic edginess" that "twangs human nerves." Sleep disorders, she learned, are common among people exposed to high levels of electromagnetic pollution.
After several other women in the same business centre reported similar symptoms, Irwin quit her job. "I saw it as something that was there to stay and I'd be daily exposed to it over a long period of time," she told Alive. "All this stuff is what we're playing with on a daily basis, and we don't know the long-term health effects."
Implying recognized hazard, cell phone companies such as B.C.'s FIDO insist that the new digital phones operating at 1/50 the power of older analog models are safer. But there is nothing "safe" about the new 1.9 gigahertz broadcasting frequency. Much like a boxer taking repeated blows to the head, rapidly pulsing cellphones signal permanent brain damage. A study by Dr. Peter Franch found unequivocally that "cells are permanently damaged by cellular phone frequencies." This cellular damage, Franch noted, is maximized at low dosage – and "inherited unchanged, from generation to generation."
Attempting to explain a 25% increase in asthma and a 5% increase in asthma-related death rates throughout rapidly "mobilizing" metropolitan Sydney, Franch found that the production of histamine, which triggers bronchial spasms, is nearly doubled after exposure to mobile phone transmissions. Cellphones also reduce the effectiveness of anti-asthmatic drugs, and retard recovery from illness.
Katharina Gustavss, a certified Building Biology consultant with 25 years experience, explains that CDMA's 217 Hz spikes are very close to the frequencies of human cell membranes. Gustavss accompanied a Microcell technician to the Colwood microwave relay tower Irwin and others had complained about. When he waved a spectrum analyzer, Gustavss checked the display and saw "pretty scary" energy spikes. "What's that?" she asked the tech. "I've never seen that before," he told her. It turned out that this cellphone tower tester only set his meter to an averaging mode. Switching to "real time" froze the readings at "scary" maximum output levels.

How dangerous are cell phones? "The risk is extremely high," declares Dr. Cherry. "There are 66 epidemiological studies showing that electromagnetic radiation across the spectrum increase brain tumors in human populations. Two of those studies are for particular brain tumors from cell phones."
Cherry says that because cancer takes decades to develop, it will be another 10 or 20 years before "mobiles" manifest a big bonanza in brain tumors. But he adds, we're already seeing "acute effects that are noticed within minutes of using a cell phone."
After two minutes' conversation, a cell phone's digitized impulses disable the safety barrier that isolates the brain from destructive proteins and poisons in the blood. Professor Leif Salford, the neurologist who carried out the research for this finding, informed the Daily Mail: "It seems that molecules such as proteins and toxins can pass out of the blood, while the phone is switched on, and enter the brain. We need to bear in mind diseases such as MS and Alzheimer's which are linked to proteins being found in the brain."

DANCING WITH THE TELECOMONSTER
If you must pack a cell phone, treat it like a loaded pistol. Keep it turned off. Don't carry it near ovaries, testicles, or the heart. For partial protection, buy an antenna shield. Limit calls to one-minute, six to 10 minutes a month. Never fire off a cellphone with children anywhere in sight.
A better bet is to facilitate the growth of organic telephone networks with lots of fibre. Instead of more microwave towers, "We should be wiring up our cities with fibre-optic cables to provide Internet, fax, telephone, radio and television at very high quality," Cherry urges, "rather than saturating our cities with the microwave, radiowave and low frequency signals all the time."
When it comes to cells, consciousness and cell phones, every call is collect. How can convenience count more than cancer? What is gained by being in constant contact with disembodied voices, while being "out of touch" with the friends and neighbours around us? Are we comfortable having our location traced by monitoring authorities?
Unless we start voting with our wallets, consumer complacency could prove as species-limiting as corporate cynicism. "Microwave frequencies are the same as those used in radar and your microwave oven," says Florida cellphone tower opponent Joe Chwick. "You wouldn't think of sticking your head in the oven, but there is no hesitation to putting the cell phone to your ear."
Having somehow survived three-million years of evolution without them, many contemporary hominids claim they cannot live without them. But can exquisitely sensitive electromagnetic beings live with cell phones – and the cell phone towers their signals ride in on? Like polyethylene food and water containers, plastic cookers and coffeemakers, microwave ovens and petroleum-powered brilliantly beguiling inventions we have to let go. Would hanging up on such an intrusive and hazardous addiction be so terrible?

HEALTH: ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS Radiation fears see cross-party investigation widened
Scotland Created: 6 Jan 2006
MSPs probe safety of digital cordless phones
HEALTH: ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS Radiation fears see cross-party investigation widened

MSPs are to investigate the safety of digital cordless telephones amid concerns that they emit harmful levels of radiation.
A new cross-party group aimed at examining the health effects of pylons and other sources of electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation such
as mobile phone masts was established by the Scottish parliament only last month.

But last night the group confirmed it would expand its inquiry to include digital enhanced cordless telecommunications (Dect) phones, after a
Sunday Herald investigation found evidence of a growing concern among campaigners in Scotland and a lack of information surrounding the
possible health risks of the phones.

Mark Ruskell, the Green MSP who cofounded the new group, said: "Every week I am hearing health concerns about technology that we all take for granted, such as mobile phones, masts and pylon lines.
Digital cordless phones are on that growing list of technologies where the jury is still out."

He added: "The time is definitely right to look into how electromagnetic radiation affects us and whethe guidelines established by 'expert groups'
are protecting us adequately."

Digital cordless phones are already the focus of debate in several European countries.
Now UK campaign groups that have hitherto focused on mobile telephones and phone masts are also turning their attention to Dect telephones.

Mast Sanity, a pressure group that campaigns against the "insensitive siting" of mobile telephone and Tetra police communications masts, has reported
a growing number of complaints on its dedicated phone line from cordless phone users who have suffered from a range of medical conditions,
including headaches, poor sleep and unusual nosebleeds.

"It's like having a phone mast in your bedroom, " said Sian Meredith of Mast Sanity, which is one of several groups calling for Dect phones to carry
a health warning.

"The government will argue the emissions are within guidelines so there's no health issue, but there is an issue because people are suffering health effects as a result of the phones being on 24 hours a day.
Even on standby they're emitting radiation."

Leading Scottish writer Ron Butlin recently underwent an operation for an irregular heartbeat.
Although he had experienced problems with his heart in the past, he believes his condition was exacerbated by his Dect telephone.

Butlin, who also wants Dect phones to come with health warnings, said: "I have no doubt that these phones have a big part to play [in my condition]."

Digital cordless telephones work via a handset and base station that emits an electromagnetic field similar to, but of a lower power than, the radio or
microwaves emitted by mobile phone masts.
Fears focus on the fact that Dect phones are switched on continuously and that the base station signal is emitted in pulses.
The concerns do not apply to old-style analogue cordless telephones with aerials.

Yet while there have long been worries - although little scientific evidence - surrounding the long-term health effects of using mobile phones and of exposure to low-level EMF from mobile phone masts, campaigners point out that there are as yet no such reservations, let alone limitations, on using cordless phones.

However, a body of opinion is growing in some European countries about the potential health implications associated with Dect phones.

Cancer specialists at University Hospital, Orebro, in Sweden, have identified an increased risk of brain tumours among cellular and cordless phone
users, with a fourfold increased risk for 20 to 29-yearolds.
Neither government nor industry has responded to the findings.

Cordless telephone manufacturers have meanwhile responded to concerns in Switzerland, Austria and Germany by providing protective covers for
Dect phones, which are meant to shield users from pulsed emissions.
Some offer advice on usage or sell low radiation phones.
A Swiss Dect phone, the Orchid LR 108, claims to be the world's first to operate without a continuous pulse of electromagnetic radiation.

Medical professionals in Germany have begun a petition urging government intervention in response to what they claim is a "clear temporal and spatial
correlation between the appearance of disease and exposure to pulsed high-frequency microwave radiation".

They cite this as coming from mobile telephone masts and mobile phone usage, as well as "installation of a digital cordless (Dect) telephone at home or
in the neighbourhood".

Illnesses they have observed - even among young people - range from learning and behavioural disorders to cancers, heart attacks and strokes.

Known as the Freiburger Appeal after the Black Forest, town where the campaign was instigated, it has so far been signed by over 2000 medical doctors and 35,000 individuals in Germany.

The rising concerns about Dect phones come as governments are increasingly engaging with the debate about low-level EMF exposure.

The European Commission is "closely monitoring" new developments in scientific research and international regulatory action in the field of EMF.

In the UK, the government has set up the Stakeholder Advisory Group on EMF (Sage), comprising representatives of the power industry, researchers,
campaign groups and others, to study the effects on people of low-frequency EMF within the guidelines from, among other sources, electrical equipment and power lines. It aims to issue guidance and ultimately offer government recommendations for precautionary measures.

Alasdair Philips, the founder of Powerwatch, an independent group with a 20-year history of researching the effects of electromagnetic fields on
health, said he had been against Dect phones since they came out, "when we realised they pulsed 24 hours a day, even when you're not making calls".

"It's the pulsing rather than the microwaves.
If you could hear it in your ears, it would drive you absolutely scatty, " he added.

Philips, a member of Sage, claims that "lots" of Dect phones have been thrown out by people who suffer health problems which they ascribe to the device.

But he added: "There's little official interest in it.
We have raised it in official channels a few times but it's very difficult to get people interested."

NEED TO KNOW FACTS

Amid concerns that digital enhanced cordless telecommunications (Dect) phones emit harmful levels of microwave radiation, MSPs are launching an
investigation into their safety.

BACKGROUND

The Health Protection Agency says the levels of radiated power a person absorbs from Dect phones are much less than from mobiles, so it does not consider cordless phones to pose a health hazard.
However, campaign groups say Dect base units constantly emit microwave radiation even when not in use, whereas "intelligent" mobiles power down.

They claim radiation pulses from Dect phones are far more aggressive than those from mobiles, and cite adverse health effects, from headaches and memory loss to sleep disturbance, depression and, some groups claim, the risk of brain tumours.

Pele-Phone threathens: "The decision is a grave one and will mean no new cellular sites will be built in Israel.
Israel Created: 5 Jan 2006
Adopting resolution to indemnify cities for lost value will hurt network development, says CEO

Pele-Phone to forgo building cellular sites, for now
Adopting resolution to indemnify cities for lost value will hurt network development, says CEO

Pele-Phone Communications will not set up any more cellular sites for the time being, its CEO Gil Sharon vowed to TheMarker, after the National Planning
and Construction Council ordered the cellular carriers to completely, 100%, indemnify local authorities for any claims of impaired apartment value due to
proximity to cellular antennas.

The Council's order is limited in time, Sharon points out, and is contingent on government approval.
"We shall act to ensure the interim period is as short as possible, to prevent long-term repercussions for the companies," he said.

If the Council's resolution is accepted by government, the damage to cellular deployment could be significant, Sharon warns.
"The practical significance is that in some cases, new neighborhoods and roads, cellular service will be spotty and gradually deteriorate," he says.
"The decision is a grave one and will mean no new cellular sites will be built in Israel.

The companies invest vast sums in network development.
The decision is a step backwards and will mean that crucial cellular networks, which people use every day, are hurt," Sharon says,
and the victims as cellphones go dead will be consumers.

He says the decision flouts the recommendation of a seven-man panel of ministerial directors-general.
"The panel said that increasing the number of small cellular transceivers is the best way to solve the problem," Sharon declared.
"The committee of directors-general ruled that the best solution would be to give the green light to building small sites, with no need for protracted
construction permit procedures, and with minimal indemnification."
At present the decision does not bear a financial cost, the Pele-Phone chief executive went on.
But adopting the decision would force the companies to eschew building large sites, forcing them to set up small ones at additional cost.

The cellular companies will have to pay compensation even without a proven health harm
Israel Created: 5 Jan 2006
The cellular companies will have to pay compensation even without a proven health harm

The cellular companies will have to pay compensation of 100% to the local authorities,
according to the decision of the national authority for planning and construction from today,
and the decision will enter to validity immediately.

The committee stressed that since local authorities do not share the profits of the cellular industry, there
is no reason why they should pay/ be responsible to pay to citizens who sue for property value reduction.

A strong hit for the cellular companies. The national authority for planning and construction
decided today that the compensation document (commitment of the cellular companies to pay) will serve as a condition to every permission of cellular antennas. Lawsuits of hundreds of millions shekels were filed until today. The authority will present its decision to the government.
A journey of pressures is expected from the cellular companies.

The subject of compensation was the central issue which was discussed with regard to the antennas law,
which passed in the parliament. According to the new law the cellular companies must pay compensation to the local authorities for future lawsuits for property value reduction, and there is a need to set the distance of antennas from sensitive places.

With that time schedule, who are going to be Vodafones lab-rats?
United Kingdom Created: 4 Jan 2006
Samsung + Vodafone + Qualcomm = 3.5G HSDPA Cellphone for Europe
First Commercially Available HSDPA Phone to be Launched Exclusively for Vodafone

Samsung, which has been working since 2003 on a 3-way project with Vodafone and Qualcomm to bring high-speed, affordable wireless access to the
market, has now developed the first commercially available packet-access HSDPA-enabled phone.

It is to be launched exclusively for British-based Vodafone and Samsung plans to demonstrate the technology next week in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

In its early stages 3.5G HSDPA technology will offer Vodafone subscribers video and voice data transfer speeds of 1.6Mbps.
No financial details of the arrangement between Samsung and Vodafone have been released.

If all goes well with the first phase, then as the technology is tested and optimized, speeds up to 7-14 Mbps will become possible:
enabling users to download a two hour-long motion picture within two minutes. It is expected to be fully commercialized in Europe during 2006.

9 UK city centres are to get blanketed with wireless broadband
United Kingdom Created: 4 Jan 2006
No escape from wireless possible: good old BT payphone booths are to be fitted with WI-FI hotspot transmitters.

Nine UK city centres are to get blanket wireless broadband coverage as part of a deal between Wi-Fi operator The Cloud and telecoms giant BT.
About 500 BT payphones in Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Nottingham, Oxford, Cambridge and Liverpool, as well as in the London Boroughs of Kensington & Chelsea, Camden and Islington, are to be fitted with discrete WiFi boxes to create a "cloud" of coverage.

As part of the deal, both The Cloud and BT will share the revenue generated by these hotspots.
At the moment, The Cloud's Wi-Fi kit is installed in places such as pubs, coffee shops and train stations, but this is the first time it has attempted to bring wireless broadband to urban areas on such a scale.
The Cloud's network will be available immediately to punters who use BT Openzone, O2, SkypeZones and Nintendo Wi-Fi.
The Cloud's chief exec, George Polk, said: "In 2004, we built the largest hotspot network in Europe, but this is the first time anyone has brought wireless internet access to the UK public on this scale.
"As the only large-scale neutral operator in the UK, we are the only partner with the technical and financial resources to build and operate a reliable network."
The Cloud - which has some 6,000 Wi-Fi hotspots in the UK, Sweden and Germany - also said today that it is keen to hook up with local councils to expand its network still further.
