Posted by seumasach on October 12, 2010

Mobile phone technology is basically military technology- any limitations on public exposure to protect public health would compromise military operations. Therefore in NATO countries , at least, such limitations must be prevented.

With new evidence on the dangers of mobile phones, we examine the worrying risks you’re NOT being told about

Posted by seumasach on October 10, 2010

For this to hit the mainstream media is definitely a step forward. However, the focus is far too narrow. There are other sources of EM radiation pollution apart from mobile phones. Most prominently. chordless DECT phones and wi-fi. Most homes now seem to have these and are therefore are being subjected to 24 hour a day exposure regardless of whether they live in proximity to a phone mast or not. Here is a recent study on the impact of DECT phones, a source of non-stop emissions, and an article on the impact of wi-fi.

US scientists find use for honey bee- Homeland Security to lead CCD investigation

Posted by seumasach on October 9, 2010

Amidst fears that conspiracy theorists may undermine US national security by pointing out the effect of EM radiation on honey bees and other life forms and thereby compromising  the top secret HAARP and the Total Information Awareness projects, the Department of Homeland Security has confirmed its leading role in investigations into the mystery of the disappearing bees. This follows up their brilliant research showing that bees can detect landmines, a discovery which underlines the importance of preventing their complete disappearance. Their unprecedented  role in an apparently civilian project has brought them face to face with new challenges, not least of which is the technique required to mash up dead bees, if they can find any, for analysis.

GM soy a death sentence for humans and the environment

 

Argentina has become a giant experiment in farming genetically modified (GM) Roundup Ready (RR) soy, engineered to be tolerant to Roundup, Monsanto’s formulation of the herbicide glyphosate. The Argentine government, eager to pull the country out of a deep economic recession in the 1990s, restructured its economy around GM soy grown for export, most of which goes to feed livestock in Europe. In 2009, GM soy was planted on 19 million hectares – over half of Argentina’s cultivated land – and sprayed with 200 million litres of glyphosate herbicide [1]. Spraying is often carried out from the air, causing problems of drift.

Open letter — Wi-Fi very dangerous in schools.

“Some things need doing better than they’ve ever been done before. Some things just need doing. Others don’t need doing at all. Know which is which.” — source unknown

Electrical conflicts between a very fast frequency and biologic systems that don’t function at those frequencies — stop the problem or hell is coming for what we are doing. This is like a sci-fi movie, where humans and the ecosystems that sustain us are irradiated — except this is reality.
