In These New Times

A new paradigm for a post-imperial world

Archive for the ‘Ecological and Public Health Crisis’ Category

The reckless depredations of corporate power and neo-Malthusian enthusiasts within the elite threaten our environment and our very survival. EM radiation,disappearing bees and pollinators, heavy metal toxicity, GM crops and soil depletion are amongst the most immediate dangers we face.

The swine flu outbreak was a ‘false pandemic’ driven by drug companies that stood to make billions of pounds from a worldwide scare, a leading health expert has claimed.

“… the 20th century epidemic of the so called diseases of civilization including cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes and suicide was caused by electrification not by lifestyle. A large proportion of these diseases may therefore be preventable.”(i)

Released in the year 2000 a study of 44,788 sets of twins from Sweden, Denmark and Finland concluded that environmental factors were the initiating event in the majority of cancers.(ii) The strongest contender and most likely culprit is artificial (man-made) electromagnetic radiation.

Global Cooling in 2009

Posted by seumasach on January 6, 2010

Global Research

4th January, 2010

2009 was another year of global cooling, which saw numerous low temperature and high snowfall records smashed. The Dutch canals for the first time in 12 years, record cold came to Al Gore’s home town and ironically a blizzarddumped snow on the Copenhagen convention where world leaders met to try and stop global warming. It was so cold that even the BBC was forced to ask, what happened to global warming? As Climategate would reveal, IPCC scientists had been hard at work hiding evidence of global cooling. Yet the observational evidence cannot be ignored.

Uranium Weapons, Low-Level Radiation and Deformed Babies

Posted by seumasach on January 2, 2010

Paul Zimmermen
2nd January, 2010
A dramatic increase in the number of babies born with birth defects was recently reported by doctors working in Falluja, Iraq [1]. One of the proposed causes for this alarming situation is radiation exposure to the population produced by uranium weapons. The international radiation protection community dismisses this explanation as completely unreasonable because (1) the radiation dose to the population of Iraq was too low, and (2) no evidence of birth defects was reported among offspring born to survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This so-called scientific explanation is deeply disturbing, for it is out of touch with the current knowledge base. Abundant evidence exists which clearly demonstrates that birth defects are being induced by levels of radiation in the environment deemed safe by the radiation protection community. In light of this knowledge, uranium contamination cannot be summarily dismissed as a hazard to the unborn.

Police officers sue force over ‘radio injuries’

Telegraph

1st January, 2010

The Lancashire Constabulary was the first in Britain to try out the Airwave network, designed specifically to give longer range and more capacity to the emergency services and the military.

Nine years after its introduction scores of officers are claiming that radiation emissions from the system have caused them to suffer such ailments as nausea, headaches, stomach pains and skin rashes.

The first ruling will reduce radiation from relay antennas by 4000 times

Posted by seumasach on January 2, 2010

Next-up

21st December, 2009

During its latest session the Municipal Council of Leganés (a major suburb southwest of Madrid, the third largest town in the region), approved a new motion intended to regulate the installation of mobile telephony relay antennas, a “first” in Spain to resolve this problem, since they will now have to emit the lowest possible level of radiation, about 4,000 times less than at present. Fulfilment of this ruling will be followed and guaranteed by the Committee for Public Works, Measurements and Surveillance, which will provide “real time” data to residents thanks to a sophisticated observation network.

Council of Europe will investigate and debate on “Faked Pandemics”

Posted by seumasach on December 31, 2009

In order to promote their patented drugs and vaccines against flu, pharmaceutical companies influenced scientists and official agencies, responsible for public health standards to alarm governments worldwide and make them squander tight health resources for inefficient vaccine strategies and needlessly expose millions of healthy people to the risk of an unknown amount of side-effects of insufficiently tested vaccines.
The “birds-flu”-campaign (2005/06) combined with the “swine-flu”-campaign seem to have caused a great deal of damage not only to some vaccinated patients and to public health-budgets, but to the credibility and accountability of important international health-agencies.
The Council of Europe and its member-states should ask for immediate investigations and consequences on their national levels as well as on the international level.
The definition of an alarming pandemic must not be under the influence of drug-sellers.

Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg

December, 2009

When in April 2009 some hundred normal influenza cases in Mexico City were rashly announced to be the beginning of a threatening new pandemic, there was little scientific evidence for this judgement. Nevertheless a large and immediate word-wide agenda setting process started and was eagerly spread by alarmist media and formally legitimized by pandemic-defining WHO, the agency, which is our global epidemiological watchdog and task-force.

European Parliament to Investigate WHO and “Pandemic” Scandal

Global Research

31st December, 2009

The Council of Europe member states will launch an inquiry in January 2010 on the influence of the pharmaceutical companies on the global swine flu campaign, focusing especially on extent of the pharma‘s industry’s influence on WHO. The Health Committee of the EU Parliament has unanimously passed a resolution calling for the inquiry. The step is a long-overdue move to public transparency of a “Golden Triangle” of drug corruption between WHO, the pharma industry and academic scientists that has permanently damaged the lives of millions and even caused death.

Compulsory Private Health Insurance: Just Another Bailout of the Financial Sector?

Posted by seumasach on December 28, 2009

28th December, 2009

Dr. Benjamin Rush, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, is quoted as warning two centuries ago:

“Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an underground dictatorship. . . . The Constitution of this republic should make special privilege for medical freedom as well as religious freedom.”

That time seems to have come, but the dictatorship we are facing is not the sort that Dr. Rush was apparently envisioning. It is not a dictatorship by medical doctors, who are as distressed by the proposed legislation as the squeezed middle class is. (For a withering analysis by an outraged M.D. of the nearly 2000 – page House bill, see here.) The new dictatorship is not by doctors but by Wall Street — the FIRE (finance, insurance, and real estate) sector that now claims 40% of corporate profits.

‘Mobile-boro Man’ – Is his second addiction a cancer-cell phone?

Posted by seumasach on December 26, 2009

China Daily

25th December, 2009

It’s time to party, it’s Saturday night, it’s Hong Kong. Mobile phone in one hand, cigarette in the other, the “Mobile-boro Man” – the mobile phone-cigarette-addicted urban counterpart of the iconic American macho-cowboy, tobacco-hawking “Marlboro Man” – struts, strides or shuffles down Nathan Road’s gallery of glitz. Chatting and puffing his way through his own smog of smoke and electromagnetic radiation (“electro-smog”) he is blissfully unmindful of the dangers of both. Head in his two clouds, he is clueless or in denial, for he is in the one hand, in grave danger of developing lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema, etc., and in the other hand, quite possibly at risk of developing other lethal diseases, such as brain or eye cancer, or, if he is luckier, one or more other serious health problems.

Wronged by your swine-flu report

Posted by seumasach on December 23, 2009

20th December, 2009
I WOULD like to make a complaint about your article entitled “Missing The Point On Swine Flu” (Insight, 13 December).

It started off by discussing a legal protest which I organised to make people aware of discrepancies in the swine-flu campaign.
