La Ville de Paris a fait débrancher jeudi des bornes wifi dans la bibliothèque jeunesse Chaptal (IXe arrondissement) une semaine après leur installation, après avoir été alertée par l’association “Robin des Toits” et le syndicat “Supap-FSU”.

Breast Cancer Fund highlights EM radiation danger

Posted by seumasach on April 12, 2009

Policy and Research Recommendations: Reduce Exposure to Radiation

Non-Ionizing Radiation (Electromagnetic Fields)

Breast Cancer Fund

Continuous daily exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMF) is a fact of life for everyone living in the industrialized world. EMF is a type of low-intensity non-ionizing radiation that has insufficient energy to break off electrons from their orbits around atoms and ionize (charge) the atoms. EMF includes extremely low frequency radiation (ELF-EMF) from electrical appliances and power lines and radiofrequency (RF) radiation from wireless technologies such as cell phones, cordless phones, personal data assistants, laptops, the towers and antennas that support these technologies and broadcast transmission towers.

Cell phone health concerns continue to spread

A court in France has ordered the dismantling of a cell phone mast based on the ‘precautionary principle’ because there is insufficient proof that cell phones are harmless. The suit was initiated by residents in the vicinity of the tower against cell phone company Bouygues Telecom. Following the judgements of the Nanterre TGI (District Court) and the Versailles Appeal Court  Bouygues Telecom began dismantling its phone mast  in the early morning of March 6, 2009.

Mobile phones: tomorrow will be too late

In spite of the dithering by the Ministry of Health and the delaying tactics of the phone operating 

companies, it is now becoming clear that the mobile phone is a virulent pathogen with damaging 

effects that we are only vaguely aware of. Recently it was scientifically proved that there is a 

connection between certain types of tumour and the intensive use of a mobile phone. Most in 

evidence are cases of acoustic neurinoma, a tumour that develops on the acoustic nerve, as well as 

malignant brain tumours. According to this study the risk is multiplied by two or more on the side 

where the phone is held.

Storks lose the plot near phone masts

Posted by seumasach on February 10, 2009

Powerwatch

6th October, 2005

It appears that adverse health effects near phone masts are not just restricted to humans. A study carried out in Valladolid (Spain) in the last two years on nesting storks found some alarming effects on those with nests near to (less than 200m) the phone mast(s). Not only were reproduction levels far lower, but also behaviour was both less co-ordinated and more aggressive.

Summary of results:

An existential crisis

28th September, 2007

The present financial crisis has only just started and promises to be profound and far reaching. It’s resolution can be one that favours the few who habitually monopolise political and economic power or one that favours the many who habitually strive to create some kind of life for themselves. In short, it’s resolution can be oligarchical or democratic.

A Change Has Got To Come-EM Radiation and Health

Posted by seumasach on December 10, 2008

I recently read Blue Windows by Barbara Wilson. Barbara was raised as a
Christian Scientist. Christian Scientists are admonished to look out of only
rose-colored windows because evil and sickness do not exist. Everything is
perfection. Her mother ended up getting breast cancer and completely lost it, as
this did not fit her belief system. The poor woman drank Drano in her effort to
kill herself. She never regained her sanity through her years of treatment for
the damage done by the Drano and the breast cancer and eventually died from it.
Barbara’s grandmother was a Christian Scientist practitioner who spent her days
performing remote healing. To her dying day she never told her community about
what happened to her daughter. Again it did not fit her belief system.

Plight of bees threatens food production say MEPs

Posted by seumasach on November 20, 2008

 

“Three quarters of food production (76%) is dependent on bees and 84% of vegetables grown in Europe depend on pollination.” 

In other words , we are on the verge of extinction. By drawing attention to the seriousness of the crisis this resolution has to be seen as a step forward. however, if we are to really confront the problem we are going to need the courage to take on powerful and sinister interests; this issue brings us face to face with the mob itself.

For background on the disappearing bees and EM radiation see:

European Parliament

Immediate action is required to tackle the drastic decline in bee colonies throughout Europe and the rest of the world, say MEPs. The decline in the number of bees poses a threat not just to honey production but to the pollination of plants and hence to food production. Parliament adopted a resolution on Thursday pressing the Commission to take action. Read the rest of this entry »

“Honey, the bees are shrinking!”

Posted by seumasach on November 18, 2008

So the interfering bureaucrats from Brussels are to prevent us killing off the bees! Actually, I’m not so sure, but these”ecological recovery zones”could be a good idea. However, without them, or some of them, being EM free zones i.e.  mast free and HAARP free, it is unlikely that there would be any improvement.

European Parliament

18th November, 2008

Albert Einstein once apparently warned, “if bees disappear, mankind will follow shortly after”. But farming and environmental changes are threatening our hard-working winged companions who have been making honey and pollinating our fields for millennia. On Wednesday night MEPs will discuss measures to protect bees and beekeepers.

European Parliament Recommends Stricter Safety Limits for Cell Phones

Posted by seumasach on September 21, 2008

ALBANY, NY–(Marketwire – September 18, 2008) – University at Albany, Institute for Health and the Environment – The European Parliament has voted 522 to 16 to recommend tighter safety standards for cell phones. In light of the growing body of scientific evidence implicating cell phone use with brain tumors, the Parliament says, “The limits on exposure to electromagnetic fields [EMFs] which have been set for the general public are obsolete.”

Mid-term review of the European Environment and Health Action Plan 2004-2010

Posted by seumasach on September 9, 2008

We are reposting this seemingly more complete version of the relevant resolutions


Texts adopted by European Parliament

Thursday, 4 September 2008 – Brussel
Mid-term review of the European Environment and Health Action Plan 2004-201
0

– Resolution (extract) –

21.  Is greatly concerned at the Bio-Initiative international report(8) concerning electromagnetic fields, which summarises over 1500 studies on that topic and which points in its conclusions to the health risks posed by emissions from mobile-telephony devices such as mobile telephones, UMTS, Wifi, Wimax and Bluetooth, and also DECT landline telephones;

22.  Notes that the limits on exposure to electromagnetic fields which have been set for the general public are obsolete, since they have not been adjusted in the wake of Council Recommendation 1999/519/EC of 12 July 1999 on the limitation of exposure of the general public to electromagnetic fields (0Hz to 30 GHz)(9) , obviously take no account of developments in information and communication technologies, of the recommendations issued by the European Environment Agency or of the stricter emission standards adopted, for example, by Belgium, Italy and Austria, and do not address the issue of vulnerable groups, such as pregnant women, newborn babies and children;

23.   Calls, consequently, upon the Council to amend its Recommendation 1999/519/EC in order to take into account the Member States’ best practices and thus to set stricter exposure limits for all equipment which emits electromagnetic waves in the frequencies between 0.1 MHz and 300 GHz;
