WHO and mobile-phone basestation studies

Posted by seumasach on July 8, 2008

Dear Dr. Emilie van Deventer, head of WHO electromagnetic fields project

I wrote you a month ago with the following question. Although I have not yet received a reply, I still hope you will be so kind as to take a moment to look into this:

You gave a presentation at a governmental EMF conference in Copenhagen 27’th of may. After your presentation, I asked you why the WHO fact sheet on mobile-phone base-stations states there is no evidence of harm from such installations when 80% of WHO acknowledged studies on people living near mobile-phone base-stations show increased risk of impaired well-being, neurological diseases and cancer.

You replied that you were aware of the studies in question, but that they were not performed according to “correct protocol”.

I am most curious to learn what protocol the WHO has developed for studies on people living near mobile-phone base-stations and therefore I trust you will have no trouble in referring me to the location on the WHO website where this protocol can be examined.

Best Regards,

Spy in a coma found ‘with blood everywhere’ by painter who used his artist colony house

Posted by seumasach on July 6, 2008

The story so far(part one here): Mr Alex Allan, head of British Intelligence, lives amidst tight security “among a handful of painters, sculptors, jewellers and print-makers in a dedicated artists’ colony in Hammersmith” where he has been found in a coma. The government denies foul-play but experts know that he was really poisoned by the Russians. However, revelations by “wildlife painter Dominique Salm, who took over the studio in his home when his artist wife of 29 years, Katie Clemson, died of cancer last year” suggest otherwise

One of the twin towers collapses

The final mystery of 9/11 will soon be solved, according to US experts investigating the collapse of the third tower at the World Trade Center.

The 47-storey third tower, known as Tower Seven, collapsed seven hours after the twin towers.

Investigators are expected to say ordinary fires on several different floors caused the collapse.

Conspiracy theorists have argued that the third tower was brought down in a controlled demolition.

Unlike the twin towers, Tower Seven was not hit by a plane.

British ‘super-spy’ in coma amid fears of poisoning by Russian assassin

Posted by seumasach on July 4, 2008

 

I took this article off the Daily Mail website so I don’t think it can be a spoof.

The story so far:

The British spy chief, Alex Allan has been “mysteriously’ taken ill but the government assures us that it can’t be “anything other than natural causes’.

Nonetheless, a leading expert thinks its the Russians since they “are acknowledged masters of assassination by poison”.

Coincidently, a report has just come out warning that  “Russia is now the third biggest threat to national security after Al Qaeda and Iranian nuclear proliferation.”

Security sources are almost certain that it is not Al-Queda.

The Butler Enquiry “specified that the Committee chairman should be someone of high standing within Whitehall but who had no further career ambitions.” Seemingly they meant it.

A source cryptically revealed that ‘It is extremely difficult to find someone who is both extremely talented and willing to accept a job knowing that it will be their last” Indeed, it must be.

Britain’s War in the Cause of Fear and Ignorance

Posted by seumasach on June 26, 2008

A fine article, marred only by the questionable reference to ” two retaliations on their home soil.” Our information points to provocations rather than retaliations.

John Pilger


26/06/08 “
ICH” — — The British lawyer Gareth Pierce, celebrated for her defense of miscarriage of justice victims, wrote recently: “Over the years of the conflict, every lawless action on the part of the British state provoked a similar reaction: internment, ‘shoot to kill’, the use of torture, brutally obtained false confessions and fabricated evidence. This was registered by the community most affected, but the British public, in whose name the actions were taken, remained ignorant.” Referring to the conflict in Northern Ireland, she was drawing a comparison with “our new suspect community,” people of Muslim faith, against whom a vicious, sectarian and mostly unreported war is well under way.
