Scientific panel on electromagnetic field health risks (Seletun)
Posted by seumasach on June 28, 2011
October-December, 2010
Abstract
In November, 2009, a scientific panel met in Seletun, Norway, for three days of intensive discussion on existing scientific evidence and public health implications of the unprecedented global exposures to artificial electromagnetic fields (EMF). EMF exposures (static to 300 GHz) result from the use of electric power and from wireless telecommunications technologies for voice and data transmission, energy, security, military and radar use in weather and transportation. The Scientific Panel recognizes that the body of evidence on EMF requires a new approach to protection of public health; the growth and development of the fetus, and of children; and argues for strong preventative actions. New, biologically-based public exposure standards are urgently needed to protect public health worldwide.

Disposant de la confiance des autorités libyennes, il a pu rencontrer quelques uns des dirigeants politiques et sécuritaires malgré les conditions de guerre. Leur constat est diamétralement opposé aux images véhiculées par la presse occidentale. Thierry Meyssan livre leurs premières observations.

European harakiri in Libya
Posted by seumasach on June 27, 2011
“Cameron and Sarkozy are bankrupting their treasuries and jeopardizing the wider European integration project. The European Union’s skepticism is mounting among distressed European publics by the day even as French and British jets fly sorties over Libya. Nero’s ghost has possessed present ruling elites in London and Paris. These two European capitals are condemned to keep burning until more accountable politicians take power and clean up the mess.’

As European economies wilt under unchecked fiscal imprudence and fears of contagious sovereign defaults, it seems absurd that Britain and France are leading a depleted North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) coalition to militarily attack Libya. Financially imperiled states facing mass protests from irate citizens are puzzlingly prosecuting war in North Africa.
