In the early 1960s it was discovered that from approximately November 1962 the Soviets had been beaming highly focused microwaves directly into the US Embassy in Moscow at an estimated power density that ranged from .005 mW/cm2 to .018 mW/cm2.112 . Averaged measurements determined that although the intensity reaching the Embassy was approximately 500 times less than the US standard for occupational exposure, it was twice the highest limit allowed in the Soviet standard.This created a quandary for the US, for if they truly believed their thermally-based 10 mW/cm2 standard was safe they could hardly conclude that the level of microwaves at their Embassy was undermining the health of the Embassy staff.

In a newly-released study conducted at the Örebro Hospital in Sweden, it was revealed that 10 years of cellphone use resulted in an average 290% increased risk of brain tumor development. Interestingly, the tumor development was found on the side of the head in which the cellphone was most used.
Recognition of the Electromagnetic Sensitivity as a Disability Under the Americans with Disabilities Act
''The Board recognizes that multiple chemical sensitivities and electromagnetic sensitivities may be considered disabilities under the ADA if they so severely impair the neurological, respiratory or other functions of an individual that it substantially limits one or more of the individual s major life activities.
I am the founder and Director for the UK EM Radiation Research Trust. The Radiation Research Trust (RRT) are leading supporters of the precautionary approach to Electromagnetic Radiation (RF/EMR) and as such advocate release of substantial research funds from Government while offering immediate protection and advice to the public. The RRT is supported by MPs and MEPs from UK political parties. We are also indebted to Independent Scientific, Public Health and Technical Advisors.
A letter to you with regards to concerns about wifi in schools from one of our advisors Susan Foster has been brought to my attention. I am therefore supporting her appeal.
I encourage you to join and support Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman in a call to the Education Minister of Israel, Gideon Sa'ar, to stop the installation of wireless internet in schools. Government and Health authorities in Canada, the UK and many other countries should provide safe learning environments for our children.
Previous Chairman for the UK Health Protection Agency and previous Chief Scientific Advisor to Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair s government appeared on a National TV investigation on wifi and stated that he could not rule out the possibility that there may be biological effects, adding that this means there may be changes in cognitive function and indications that there may be cancer inductions along with molecular biology changes within the cell. These conclusions followed as a result of the Stewart report into mobile phones and phone masts. Download the transcript here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/panorama/6683969.stm
Wifi uses the same technology as phone antennae. The Stewart report S1.42 states ?The beam of greatest intensity should not fall on any part of the school or building without agreement from the school or parents?. Many parents would object to a phone mast near their homes or children?s schools and may not be aware that Wifi is using the same technology. Have you therefore consulted the parents throughout Canada and informed them about installing wifi in schools and of the independent research into RF/EMF?
Sir William continued to raise concerns at the 2008 Radiation Research Trust conference. Quote from Sir William Stewart at the RRT Conference, 2008
''Since 2000 there has been a mass of publications, reports, observations, and views purporting at the very least to implicate phones/base stations as a cause of adverse health effects. At a time of uncertainty when more information is required, non-peer reviewed articles should not be ignored. Doing so is ridiculous. They may be right but unproven and/or offer pointers to be thought about and followed up.''
I recently returned from a visit to Russia s Radiation Protection. Russian scientists are also warning countries throughout the world including ministries of health and other organizations, responsible for the population safety (including children), to pay attention to the regulation of mobile phones and Wi-Fi use in kindergardens and are recommending the usage of wired networks in schools and educational institutions, rather than a network using wireless broadband systems, including Wi-Fi. Russian scientists are currently preparing a report to be delivered to the Chief Medical Officer for the UK following our visit. I am willing to send you a copy of the report.
I am not aware of any research stating that WiFi RF/EMF radiation is safe and would be most grateful if you could please provide independently funded research demonstrating safety?
Finally, I call on you and your colleagues to join the call to withdraw wifi in schools in favour or adopting wired networks.
Yours sincerely,
Eileen O'Connor
Smart Meter Blackmail
Conrad says final letters are being mailed out starting today, and a failure to respond by the deadline stated in the letter will mean the termination of service.
People should realize that Bluetooth devices that fit in or around the ear typically radiate at 0.23 watts per kilogram (W/Kg). Go into any AT&T wireless store and ask for the SAR on Bluetooth devices. Or check any SAR values website that shows cell phone SAR levels, and you ll find the Bluetooth devices are actually worse than some of the low-SAR cell phones.
This level of 0.23 W/Kg is ten to 100 times higher than the RF exposure levels shown to make the blood-brain barrier pathologically leaky, allowing toxins and toxic molecules to cross the BBB. This is reported by Salford, Persson, Nittby and Schirmacher among others, to cause neuron death at 0.012 to 0.002 W/Kg.
Multiple studies have reported that as short as a single, two-hour exposure to cell phone radiation will result in pathological leakage of the blood-brain barrier. The effect occurs immediately, and is still seen at 14 days and at 50 days post-exposure at only 0.012 W/Kg to 0.002 W/Kg. The lowest exposure SARs are worse than the higher SAR exposures (Nittby et al, 2009). These studies show neuron death (brain cells) at SARs of only 0.012 W/Kg. Bluetooth devices are worn for hours at a time, in some cases, all day long. So, it is reasonable to conclude that a device which radiates at a higher intensity than some cell phones that are still risky in terms of SAR, worn for more hours than a cell phone is typically used, would not be a good idea to promote.

Electropollution and the Decline in Health of a Nation
It might surprise you to know that the 1950s, when there were few health clubs; the American diet was loaded with fat; vitamin supplements were rare; executives downed three martinis at lunch and everyone smoked like a smokestack, may have been the healthiest decade ever. Expectations for getting cancer were only 1 in 6; it is now 1 in 2 for men. Alzheimer s, Multiple Sclerosis and most modern autoimmune diseases were unheard of. Neurological disorders like Parkinson s and ALS were rare. Diabetes was only beginning to emerge and heart disease for young people was unusual.
A while back a mature woman from Armstrong called me to ask a question. She was extremely distressed and her voice was very unsteady. She told me that an employee of CORIX, the company to which BC Hydro has contracted the installation of its smart meters, bullied and intimidated her with threats until she weakened and allowed the device to be attached to her service. That was several weeks ago.
Since that day Mrs. ____ has been unable to sleep, her hair began to fall out in clumps, she has difficulty standing in the mornings, is always dizzy and notices her cognitive abilities are diminishing. She asked me if it could be attributed to the smart meter. My answer was strongly in the affirmative.
This woman telephoned BC Hydro with her concerns and spoke with two representatives, both of whom were unconscionably abusive and denied her request to have the offending meter removed and issued further ridiculous threats.
The following is in response to all the doubters, sceptics, naysayers, fence-sitters and to anyone wishing to know more about this ill-conceived life threatening technology.
Number 1: Follow the money. Huge conflicts of interest: some Directors and Advisors serving on all of the BC Liberals, BC Hydro, the BCUC (BC Utilities Commission), CORIX and CAI Financial boards. Current meters cost $50. Smart Meters $500. Current meters last 50 years. Smart Meters 5 years. It?s not about money??
Number 2: It s not about control, it?s about a lack of democracy. Every citizen forced to accept a smart meter has had his/her right to life, liberty & security violated (#7, Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms).
Number 3: It is about radiating human flesh with frequencies that are illegal and contravene Health Canada s Safety Code 6. The electromagnetic frequencies of smart meters are 480 times greater than cell phones and are omni-directional, radiating the whole body and not just the head like a cell phone.
Number 4: The sole purpose of the smart meter initiative is greed, pure and simple. Eventually every household that has a smart meter will have to replace all its electrical appliances with ''Smart'' devices that have a chip in them that communicates with the smart meter, which communicates with the routers and collectors on the poles, and all the other smart meters in your neighbourhoods, adding exponentially to the wireless smog enveloping the environment and every living creature in it (something BC Hydro didn t tell you about). Even an amateur hacker will be able to tell what room you are in in your house, as all movement interrupts the frequencies, and will ultimately be able to tell how many breaths you take every minute if so desired. This is not speculation or conspiracy. It is fact. It is ludicrous yes, to think that anyone cares what you are doing in the privacy of your own home, unless that person can use that information for profit or sell it to a corporation who wishes to market a product for your use at an inflated cost to you the consumer, of course.
Number 5: Detrimental health effects are too numerous to describe adequately in this format. However, suffice it to say that all wireless technology has been classified as a Class 2b carcinogen by the World Health Organization. It has been recommended that it be raised to a Class 2a carcinogen, as a probable rather than possible cause of cancer.
Here are a few facts:
Fact: Because of health risks, France is removing all Wi-Fi from its schools at a cost of 75 million Euros. BC educators wish to install more of it in more of our kid s schools!
Fact: Brain cancer rose 50% between 1999 and 2009, mostly in young people and mostly on the side of the brain closest to where the cell phone is placed. Incidence of leukemia is on the rise as is autism in newborns, occurring in areas near routers, collectors and microwave towers. Smart meters are a part of this system. ( http://www.emfblues.com/wireless )
Fact: China, where cellular usage is epidemic, recorded a 3,000 % increase in facial skin cancer mostly on the side of the head where the cell phone is placed. (Dr. Barrie Trower)
Fact: Italy has gone all smart meters BUT they are power line wired. (Wikipedia)
Fact: Japan is using fibre optics for its smart meters, safe, healthy & secure.
Fact: The state of Idaho, one of our neighbours, is going with fibre optic wired smart meters also, BECAUSE IT IS MORE COMPATIBLE IN MOUNTAINOUS TERRAIN.
Fact: The Premier of Ontario admitted two years ago it was a mistake for that Province to allow smart meters as they have not delivered on their promise to be more efficient or cost effective. (Toronto SUN, Sept. 18, 2010)
Fact: The project director for the Smart Meter Program in BC is a citizen of the USA from Philadelphia, where he authored a similar project. That city in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has just declared a moratorium on its smart meter program because of the growing number of fires connected to these faulty devices. Hundreds of fires and explosions in jurisdictions globally where smart meters are being installed, including several in BC, are making insurance providers nervous. 50 to 60 BC municipalities have declared moratoriums or opt-in options. (Citizens For Safe Technolgy.com)
Fact: Independent, world renowned peer scientists are stating that, in regard to wireless technology, the world is witnessing the largest biological experiment in the history of mankind without the knowledge or consent of its subjects.
Fact: High ranking military commanders are warning that a national smart meter power grid represents the single most dangerous and lethal threat to the security of any nation foolish enough to establish one. A smart grid can easily be hacked into by any individual or organization with evil intent using software that already exists and completely shut down a community, a municipality, a province or state or an entire country. And there is only one way to prevent it from happening: STOP THE MADNESS NOW!!
Final Fact: There is a magnitude of information available to anyone with concerns.
Call or Google: ''Citizens for Safe Technology'' or ''Stop Smart Meters BC''.
Do you live with EHS (Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity)? If so, I would like to hear your story for some writing I plan to do on the subject. I am specifically interested in your strategies for reducing electromagnetic radiation in your life and home to protect your health.
I am an award-winning investigative journalist and the author of several books. There is some information about me on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Goldberg.
If you are willing to share your EHS story with me, please contact me by email: goldberg@ncf.ca . And please include some details about your life with EHS and what strategies you have adopted to protect yourself. Have you moved to the country? Removed WiFi from your home? Built a Faraday cage to sleep in? Set up a tent in your backyard to sleep in? These are just some of the strategies people have told me about so far.
I am hoping that what I write on this subject will help raise public awareness about the hazards of WiFi and other common types of electromagnetic radiation by putting a human face on what can be an overwhelming pile of data and statistics.
The tribunal gave the group 30 days to narrow down its complaint to represent only people ''allegedly diagnosed with EHS (electromagnetic hypersensitivity) who have been advised (by physicians) to avoid wireless technology.'' The tribunal said if the...

BC Hydro Lie to Customers when Installing Smart Meters
Cusheon Lake Smart Meter install on Salt Spring Island.
You be the judge, watch the videos. Did BC Hydro rep say meter would not work as a smart meter? I thought he said it would not be sending out a signal. Sure looks like it is up and running. Video by various Salt Spring people. Part of this video was broadcast live on CFSI 109.9fm Salt Spring community Radio. Dave Gordon was at the control room and Scott Simmons was live on site reporting what was happening.
What caught my attention is that the very same words, the same approach is being used there as in British Columbia.
First Hydro says it s not the meter but the home s base or wiring, so it s not the meter s fault
Second, the fire chief says the fire in Houston was the first involving smeters. Yet the electrician in the comments section says something different. There is a major cover up going on here and we need to expose it.
I hope everyone is tracking smart meter related fires and incidents in your area. Find out if your fire departments or Fire Commissioner is tracking. Our fire commissioner has no code for smart meters so any related fire is just coded ''electrical''. Our head fire chief said there is no need to track because he knows the meters are safe!!
We need to have a central place where we can share our information, and, hopefully, we can get an electrical expert to explain all of the design flaws, etc. that might be contributing to these fires. Many, no doubt, are due to using cheap labour for installation, but not all!!

Rabi Yaakov Litzman, Pm, deputy minister of Health asking to rethink the deployment of WIFI in Israeli schools
August 23, 2012
From: Dafna Tachover and Amirb (No Rad) Ämne: AMAZING NEWS FROM ISRAEL: MINISTRY OF HEALTH JOINED OUR CAUSE, CALLING TO BAN WIFI IN SCHOOLS Following our correspondence threatening to bring a Petition to the Supreme Court to ban WIFI in schools, Rabi Yaakov Litzman, the Deputy Minister of Health, sent us a letter this morning stating that he is supporting our action and calls to BAN WIFI in SCHOOLS! We sent another warning letter saying that on Sunday a Petition to the Supreme Court would be submitted!
A brief kick to the immune system of a pregnant mouse can cause persistent changes in the brains of offspring, a discovery that could shed light on schizophrenia and autism. This would seem to be highly relevant to both mobile telecoms emissions and vaccines, both of which are known to compromise the immune system. Also see my paper Johansson O, ''Disturbance of the immune system by electromagnetic fields, A potentially underlying cause for cellular damage and tissue repair reduction which could lead to disease and impairment'', Pathophysiology 2009; 16: 157-177.
Deputy Health Minister Yaakov Litzman on Thursday implored Education Minister Gideon Sa?ar to immediately suspend the installation of wireless Internet in schools due to what he termed the hazards of electromagnetic radiation.
Litzman issued an official letter to Sa?ar following a letter he received from Attorney Michael Bach. Bach, citing medical research, warned about the health threats to students.
''I am in deep sympathy with Bach s letter,'' wrote Litzman. ''I have dealt extensively with the issue, although I am not a professional, and I fear lest the day come when we shall rue the irreversible damage visited on our children.''
Certain countries have banned Wi-Fi in educational institutions, most notably France, which has prohibited any kind of wireless communication in its schools.

Letter to the BC Medical Officer of Health
If Israel has found reason to ban WiFi in schools then why have Canadian health authorities not found reason? I know a 13 year old here in Mission that had to quit school because of constant headaches as well as other symptoms of EMF exposure when ever she attended the school with WiFi. She was unaware of the cause of her symptoms until I asked if the school had WiFi. This must be happening to others! Lets Find Out, Health Authorities! Not 10 years from now, BUT NOW!!
