3rd June, 2009

The French Government is developing secret plans to impose mandatory vaccination of the entire French population, allegedly against possible Swine Flu disease according to reports leaked in a French newspaper. The plan is without precedent and even defies recommended public health advice. Pharmaceutical giants benefit from the move, as the Swine Flu increases the trend to militarization of public health and use of needless population panic to advance the agenda.

JUNE 3, 2009
In a speech on Tuesday in Berlin, Chancellor Angela Merkel expressed ‘great skepticism’ over the clout of central banks and suggested their aggressive moves in Europe, the U.S. and the U.K. might backfire. She is shown here at a rally later in Saarbrücken, Germany, for European Parliamentary elections.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, in a rare public rebuke of central banks, suggested the European Central Bank and its counterparts in the U.S. and Britain have gone too far in fighting the financial crisis and may be laying the groundwork for another financial blowup.

Germany warns citizens to avoid using Wi-Fi

Posted by seumasach on June 3, 2009

There was a flurry of articles about the risk of exposure to Wi-Fi, as well as CCD and its link to EM radiation, in the Independent in 2007. They have since gone remarkably quiet. Has someone “had a word”?

“Its surprise ruling – the most damning made by any government on the fast-growing technology – will shake the industry and British ministers, and vindicates the questions that The Independent on Sunday has been raising over the past four months.”

The industry and British ministers remain singularly unshaken.

Geoffrey Lean

Independent

9th September, 2007

People should avoid using Wi-Fi wherever possible because of the risks it may pose to health, the German government has said.

Ticehurst councillor questions safety of new wireless masts in schools

Posted by seumasach on June 3, 2009

Responding to Mr Rigby’s concerns, ESCC spokeswoman Hannah Russell said: “The safety, health and welfare of young people is our top priority and the county council would not install a system that it was not completely satisfied was safe.

What is the basis for this satisfaction?

“This technology meets or exceeds all UK, European and international regulations and health and safety standards.”

This informs us simply that the level of radiation is insufficient to heat body tissue.

“We have taken advice from the Health Protection Agency which has also carried out specific tests on our behalf.”

So the HPA are only just checking it now despite spending years of telling us there is no problem. Perhaps they just want to be extra-specially sure?

And yet, he Chairman of the HPA Sir William Stewart, has noted that, due to exposure,  “there may be changes, for example in cognitive function… there were some indications that there may be cancer inductions… there were some molecular biology changes within the cell and these were issues that we had to bear in mind.”

Yes indeed!  Certainly worth “bearing in mind” as you commence intensive irradiation of children.

Why is Wi-Fi being switched in France if there is no problem. Why has the German government warned against use of Wi-Fi. Is this just one more reason for leaving the EU, so we can contaminate children without interference from European burocrats?

L’Administration US veut faire du Pakistan un État défaillant

L’armée pakistanaise, encadrée par les États-Unis, a tenté d’écraser les talibans dans l’ex-principauté de Swat. Les combats, particulièrement imprécis, ont provoqué l’exode de 2 millions de personnes. Selon Rashid Zubair, les talibans de Swat incarneraient avant tout une révolte des pauvres, tandis que la stratégie US les instrumenterait pour provoquer une guerre civile et justifier une confiscation des armes atomiques.
