RECHTZEITIG ZUM NEUEN SCHULJAHR: DEUTSCH/TEXTARBEIT ZUM THEMA MOBILFUNK

Schülerinnen und Schüler sind die Hauptzielgruppe für die Werbung der Mobilfunkindustrie. So ist es in den letzten Jahren gelungen, dass kaum noch ein Jugendlicher glaubt ohne das zum Statussymbol gewordene Handy auskommen zu können. Ständige Kontaktaufnahmen über das Handy, verbal oder per SMS, bestimmen mittlerweile den Alltag von immer mehr Kindern und Jugendlichen.

Dabei gehen die jungen Handybenutzer nicht nur ein sehr hohes gesundheitliches Risiko ein. Auch finanzielle, schulische und soziale Probleme können durch den übermäßigen Handygebrauch verursacht werden.

Andererseits macht es die hohe Akzeptanz der Mobilfunktechnik bei den Jugendlichen besonders schwer diese und das entsprechende Verhalten kritisch zu thematisieren und wenigstens einen bewußteren und risikominimierenden Umgang mit dem Mobilfunk anzustoßen.

Nun liegt von Umweltfachberater Hans Schütz aus Peiting eine Unterrichtseinheit für den Deutschunterricht ab der siebten Klasse vor, die in allen Schularten eingesetzt werden kann, und einen kritischeren Umgang mit dem Medium Mobilfunk bei den Schülerinnen und Schülern anbahnen helfen soll.

Das entsprechende Material kann von der Homepage der Umweltinitiative Pfaffenwinkel e. V. (uip-online.de) kostenlos heruntergeladen werden: http://www.uip-online.de

Die ebenfalls auf dieser Homepage (siehe unter Aktuelles) zu Beginn des letzten Schuljahres veröffentlichten Materialien zum Thema Mobilfunk und Schule stehen ebenfalls weiterhin zur Verfügung.

Gutachten: Anti-Terror-Datei verfassungswidrig

14.09.04

Die von den Innenministern geplante Anti-Terror-Datei stößt auf verfassungsrechtliche Bedenken. Ein Gutachten des Wissenschaftlichen Dienstes des Bundestags komme zu dem Schluss, ein Datenpool im Online-Verbund sei "mit dem Trennungsgebot nicht vereinbar", berichtet die "Berliner Zeitung". Es sei verfassungswidrig, wenn Erkenntnisse der Polizei pauschal dem Verfassungsschutz zugänglich gemacht würden und umgekehrt. "Ein Informationsverbund wäre also dann unzulässig, wenn er dazu führt, dass die Polizei Verfassungsschutz- oder Verfassungsschutz polizeiliche Kompetenzen erlangt", heiße es in der Expertise, die der Parlamentarische Geschäftsführer der Grünen, Volker Beck, in Auftrag gegeben hatte.

RACIAL PROFILING PUTS AMERICA AT RISK

A new Amnesty International report demonstrates that racial profiling by law enforcement has expanded in the government's war on terror and has affected an estimated one of every nine individuals in the United States. The 50-page report, Threat and Humiliation: Racial Profiling, Domestic Security, and Human Rights in the United States, asserts that law enforcement's use of race, religion, country of origin, and ethnic or religious appearance as a proxy for criminal suspicion undermines national security.

"Racial profiling blinds law enforcement to real criminal threats and creates a hole in the national security net large enough to drive a truck through," said Curt Goering, Senior Deputy Executive Director of AIUSA.

"The widespread practice of racial profiling diminishes confidence in the police and makes individuals reluctant to call 911 or cooperate with law enforcement," he added.

Along with the release of this report, Amnesty International is launching a public education campaign designed to generate support for a comprehensive federal law banning race-focused law enforcement practices. The End Racial Profiling Act of 2004 (H.R. 3847 and S 2132) has 140 bipartisan cosponsors.

Und es lohnt sich immer noch, im Supermarkt genau hinzugucken. Letzte Woche fand ein Gen-Detektiv in Hamburg genmanipuliertes Sojaöl der Firma Levo BV Franeker Holland. Bereits im August tauchte in einem Grosshandel Pflanzenöl auf, das aus gentechnisch veränderten Sojabohnen hergestellt wurde.

Also Vorsicht beim Einkauf! Den aktuellen Stand der gekennzeichneten Produkte hier:

Auch diesmal werden wir den Hersteller anschreiben und ihn auffordern, das Produkt aus dem Sortiment zu nehmen. Dies führt auch immer wieder zum Erfolg. So hat uns kürzlich die Firma Herbalife versichert, ihre Produkte mit genveränderten Inhaltsstoffen nicht weiter herzustellen.

Aus Brüssel gibt es unterdessen eine schlechte und eine gute Nachricht. So wurden 17 Gen-Mais-Sorten für den Anbau in der Europäischen Union zugelassen. Die Entscheidung über den Grenzwert für die gentechnische Verunreinigung von Saatgut wurde jedoch vertagt. Der von Greenpeace kritisierte Grenzwert von 0,3% konnte sich also nicht durchsetzen und muss nun neu verhandelt werden. Mehr dazu hier:

Bemerkungen zur Adlkofer REFLEX-STUDIE

Wie es der chinesische Wissenschaftler Changlin Zhang darstellt [Lit.], zeigt sich der elektromagnetische Körper eines lebenden Organismus im System der Chakren, Meridiane und Akupunkturpunkte. Dieses System wird durch stehende Wellen gebildet, die aber nicht statisch sind, sondern zeitliche Zyklen durchlaufen. [Dissipative Structure of Electromagnetic Field in Living Systems. Frontier Perspective, Vol 12.Nr.1,
http://www.temle.edu/cfs und 'Dichter Körper und elektromagnetischer Körper, Tattva Viveka 6, redaktion@tattva-viveka.de ]

Waltraud Wagner: Beachtet man diese Ordnung aus holographischen, fraktalen Wellen nicht, so kann man die Zusammenhänge zwischen Vorgängen in der Materie und elektromagnetischen Schwingungen nicht erkennen, die sich in den verschiedensten organischen Prozessen und in chemischen Verbindungen zeigen. Die Forschung wird sehr teuer, weil man alles einzeln untersuchen muss.

Zu der mit über drei Millionen EU finanzierten Studie (Adlkofer, REFLEX-STUDIE) über die Wirkungen elektromagnetischer Felder, bei der Wirkungen bis in das Genom gefunden wurden, äußern sich der russische Biologe und Genetiker Peter Gariaev und der englische Elektrophysiker Cyril Smith wie folgt:

Peter Gariaev: "Es ist klar, dass die Wissenschaftler die Wirkungen elektromagnetischer Frequenzen (EMF) unbedingt aus einer neuen Perspektive verstehen müssen, und zwar nicht nur als Proteinreaktionen. Andere Ebenen des Genoms antworten über holographische Flüssigkristalle, über textähnliche Strukturen, über die Polarisation, nonlokal über fraktale Zeitstrukturen usw.

Cyril Smith: Auf Grund des Spektrums der multiplen Frequenzen, das sich ausgehend von einer Frequenz entwickelt, bietet diese eine Frequenz ein Bindeglied zwischen vielen Strukturen auf der materiellen Ebene, wie die der Zellen, der DNS, der Organe, des gesamten Körpers. Das ist die eine Seite, die andere sind die raumzeitlosen Strukturen kohärenter Zustände. Es ist die Wirkung der multiplen Frequenzen, für die es keine absolute Maßskala gibt und die damit verbundene Fraktalität, die technische Frequenzen biologisch und technisch wirksam macht." Das Adlkofer REFLEX-Projekt arbeitet noch in den Bereichen klassischer Wirkungen, wenn auch mit viel besseren Einrichtungen als ich sie jemals hatte. Es wird lange dauern, bis sie damit irgendeinen wirkenden Mechanismus herausfinden.

Auszug aus dem Bericht eines Rechtsanwalts, der als Vertreter von Betroffenen mit Prof. Adlkofer am 12.06.04 auf einem Symposium des BUND in Mainz gesprochen hat:

Nachdem Dr. Warnke aus Saarbrücken in der Aussprache nach seinem Vortrag grundsätzliche Kritik an einer seiner Ansicht nach kaum noch vorhandenen ethischen Grundlage von Wissenschaftlern im Vergleich zu der Zeit, als er mit seinen Forschungsarbeiten begonnen hat, äußerte, erwiderte ihm Prof. Adlkofer wörtlich:

"Herr Warnke, Sie haben absolut recht mit Ihrer Kritik an der Wissenschaft. Aber ich möchte betonen, die Wissenschaft, die sich mit elektromagnetischen Feldern beschäftigt, hier handelt es sich um einen Sonderbereich, die meiner Meinung nach weltweit zu 80% von der Industrie kontrolliert wird. Ich selbst habe das mit unseren Daten aus dem REFLEX-Projekt erlebt - Sie werden später verstehen, warum (Anm. sein Vortrag folgte noch).

Die Reaktion auf solche Ergebnisse ist zuerst:
Ignorieren.

Wenn dann das nicht mehr länger funktioniert, dann geht es um Kritisieren - zum Teil mit brauchbaren, zum Teil mit völlig unbrauchbaren Argumenten. Und wenn auch das nicht mehr hilft - und da sind wir im Augenblick angelangt - dann kommt das Diffamieren - und das ist das Übelste.

Und so geht es all denen, die mit Ergebnissen, die nicht in die jeweilige Landschaft passen ....... Ich kenne auch die Wissenschaft in anderen Bereichen. Ich möchte wirklich ausschließen, dass dort in derselben Art und Weise vorgegangen wird. Es gibt einen großen Teil der Wissenschaft, der heute noch genauso denkt, wie Sie vor 40 oder 30 Jahren, als Sie (Anm. gemeint ist weiterhin Dr. Warnke) mit Forschung begonnen haben, gedacht haben."

Nach weiterer Mitteilung von Prof. Adlkofer, ebenfalls am 12. Juni 2004, steht nach einem "Rapport" in Brüssel am 12. Mai 2004 bereits fest, dass die wissenschaftlich dringend gebotene Fortführung des Projektes nicht erfolgen wird!

Auf Betreiben der übermächtigen Industrielobby war es zu diesem "Rapport" gekommen, um bei der noch ausstehenden Veröffentlichung der Ergebnisse des REFLEX-Projektes "subjektive" oder gar "emotionale Verfälschungen" zu verhindern.

Nicht einmal, dass sich sämtliche Forschungen des Projektes unterhalb der Grenzwerte bewegten, dürfe in die Veröffentlichung aufgenommen bzw. darin hervorgehoben werden, äußerte der bereits als sachverständiger Zeuge benannte Prof. Adlkofer!

So wird alles andere als eine "ausgeglichene wissenschaftliche Sicht der Debatte ermöglicht", wie dies z.B. in der Dezemberausgabe 2001 des Newsletters der Forschungsgemeinschaft Funk (FGF) auf Seite 28 vorgegeben wurde.

Damals ging es um Prof. Hyland, der ebenfalls ein höchst übles Schicksal im Umgang mit der Industrielobby erleiden musste, was Prof. Adlkofer im Übrigen bestätigte.

Weitere konkrete Belege ergeben sich aus den zahlreichen Fällen, bei denen unerwünscht kritische Äußerungen von Wissenschftlern empfindliche berufliche Konsequenzen zur Folge hatten (Vgl. etwa bei http://www.gabnet.com/pol/ethikschutz-3.htm ).

TZ Report, Dienstag, 21.Dezember 2004

Die EU hat eine Studie in Auftrag gegeben, die erstmals belegt: Handy-Strahlen schaden dem Erbgut

Von Karl-Heinz Dix

Seit Jahren behaupten Mobilfunk Gegner, dass Handys gesundheitsschädlich sind und Krebs verursachen können. Der Beweis fehlte bislang. Jetzt erhalten sie Schützenhilfe durch eine große Studie, die mit Hilfe der EU entstanden ist und nun veröffentlicht wurde. Ergebnis: Die Funkwellen von Handys schädigen und verändern das menschliche Erbgut, wie es von der Röntgenstrahlung bekannt ist. Besonders alarmierend: Gemessen wurden die Auswirkungen bei Feldstärken, die unter den deutschen Handy-Grenzwerten liegen.

In der Vergangenheit gab es keine exakten Untersuchungen über die Auswirkungen von elektromagnetischen Wellen auf die Zell- und Genstruktur des Menschen. Lediglich eine umstrittene Untersuchung an Ratten aus Schweden stellte einen Zusammenhang zwischen Krebserkrankungen und Strahlung fest.

Im Jahr 1999 entschloss sich die Europäische Union deshalb ein groß angelegtes Forschungsprojekt zu diesem Thema unter den Namen Reflex mit zwei Millionen Euro zu fördern. Auch die Schweiz, Finnland und die Münchner Verum-Stiftung für Verhalten und Umwelt, die 1992 von der deutschen Zigaretten-Industrie gegründet wurde, sponserte die Studie mit zusammen 1,2 Millionen Euro.

An der Untersuchung, die im Januar 2000 begann, beteiligten sich zwölf Forschergruppen der Universitäten in Bologna, Bordeaux, Mailand, Wien, Zürich, Berlin und Hannover sowie fünf nicht universitäre Forschungseinrichtungen wie die Münchner Verum-Stiftung. Die Koordination und wissenschaftliche Leitung lag bei Professor Franz Adlkofer von der Verum-Stiftung in München (siehe Interview).

Ziel der vierjährigen Studie, die in diesem Jahr fertig gestellt wurde, war es, den potentiellen Einfluss von elektromagnetischen Feldern niedriger Energie auf biologische Systeme an Hand von Zellkulturen zu ergründen.

Zu diesem Zweck haben die Forscher im Reflex-Projekt Kulturen menschlicher und tierischer Zellen elektromagnetischen Feldern ausgesetzt, die in ihrer Stärke denen entsprechen, die bei einem Handy-Telefonat auf den Kopf einwirken.

Um den Einfluss subjektiver Erwartungen der Untersucher auszuschließen, entwickelte die Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich ein spezielles System: Ein Computer entschied nach dokumentiertem Zufallscode, welche von zwei mit identischen Zellkulturen bestückte Kammer bestrahlt wurde und welche als Kontrolle diente. Der Code wurde den Forschern immer erst später zugänglich gemacht. Bei der Untersuchung gelangten die Arbeitsgruppen trotz unterschiedlicher Nachweismethoden zum weitgehend gleichen Ergebnis: Je nach Dauer und Intensität kam es unterhalb des für Handys geltenden Grenzwerts von zwei Watt pro Kilogramm zu einem signifikanten Anstieg von so genannten Einfach- und Mehrfachstrangbrüchen der DNA. Das heißt zu Schäden und Veränderungen der Erbsubstanz. Außerdem stellten die Forscher fest, dass eine gleichbleibende Belastung weniger Schäden anrichtete als ein steter Wechsel der Feldbelastung.

Prof. Adlkofer: "Gefährlich sind vor allem die Doppelstrangbrüche, weil sie vom Körper oft falsch repariert werden. Denn Veränderungen am Erbgut führen in der Regel zu Krebs."

Die Forscher machten eine weitere erstaunliche Entdeckung: Sind die menschlichen Zellen bereits geschädigt, wird dies durch den Einfluss der Strahlung um ein Vielfaches verstärkt.

TZ-Interview mit Prof. Franz Adlkofer, dem Leiter der Studie

"Die Grenzwerte sind zu hoch"

Über die Studie sprach tz-Redakteur Karl-Heinz Dix mit Franz Adlkofer, Medizin-Professor an der Freien Universität Berlin und Geschäftsführer der Verum-Stiftung München, der maßgeblich an der Studie beteiligt war.

Wie entstand die Studie?

Adlkofer: Als wir die Studie 1999 planten, stellte sich die Frage, ob elektromagnetische Felder, wie sie bei der Telekommunikation verwendet werden, überhaupt die Gesundheit schädigen können. Trotz 40-jähriger Forschung eine absolut offene Frage. Wir sagten uns, wenn wir nun einzelne Zellsysteme untersuchen und trotz Verwendung der modernsten molekularbiologischen Methoden nichts sehen, kann man die Forschung einstellen, weil dann elektromagnetische Felder kein Gesundheitsrisiko darstellen können. Wir wollten prüfen, ob durch elektromagnetische Felder wichtige Mechanismen in den Zellen ausgelöst werden, die bei der Krankheitsentstehung eine Rolle spielen. Dazu gehören Genschäden. Deshalb sollten gentoxische Wirkungen untersucht werden. Zu unserer Überraschung haben wir in dieser vierjährigen Untersuchung in drei unterschiedlichen Laboratorien festgestellt, dass in der Tat bei einer länger dauernden Strahlung in einzelnen Zellen Genschäden auftreten.

Was bedeutet das?

Adlkofer: Im Augenblick kann man nur vermuten, dass dies auch im Körper von Mensch und Tier passieren kann. Das müsste in einer neuen Untersuchung geklärt werden. Wenn das aber der Fall ist, haben wir ein großes Problem. Solange wir aber nicht wissen, was bei exponierten Menschen passiert, die ihr Handy zum Teil stundenlang benutzen, solange sind wir der Meinung, dass wir vorsichtiger im Umgang mit Handys sein sollten, als dies gegenwärtig von der Industrie und zum Teil auch von der Politik empfohlen wird.
Was können Genschäden oder Veränderungen beim Menschen auslösen?

Adlkofer: Die nachgewiesenen Genschäden und Änderungen der Genfunktion sind die Grundlage der Krebsentstehung und der Entstehung aller chronischen Erkrankungen. Mit Handystrahlen wird ja die Entstehung von Hirntumoren, auch die Entstehung von der Alzheimer´schen Krankheit in Zusammenhang gebracht. Das ist nicht bewiesen, aber die Erkenntnisse, die wir jetzt hinzugefügt haben, sprechen dafür, dass die Entstehung solcher Krankheiten durch elektromagnetische Felder möglich ist.

Wie schütze ich mich am besten vor Strahlung?

Adlkofer: Die Leute sollen die Handys maßvoll benutzen und nicht zu lange. Sie sollten nur zum Mobiltelefon greifen, wenn der Empfang gut ist, also maximale Balkenzahl. Das bedeutet, dass auch die Energieeinwirkung auf das Gehirn geringer ist. In der S-Bahn oder im Bus sollten Handys wegen des geringen Empfangs nicht benutzt werden. Wer sicher gehen will, benutzt ein Headset.

Was müsste nun passieren?

Adlkofer: Die Frage ist: Passiert das, was wir in den Zellsystemen gefunden haben, auch bei Ratten oder Mäusen, immer vorausgesetzt, dass die heute geltenden Grenzwerte unterschritten sind? Dann ist das Risiko und die Gefahr sehr sehr groß, dass das beim Menschen passiert. Es wäre daher notwendig, dass man forscht, ob Genschäden oder Änderungen der Genfunktion auch bei lebenden Tieren entstehen.

Wird weitergeforscht?

Adlkofer: Die Forschungen kosten Geld. Ich habe nicht den Eindruck, dass man dieses Thema sehr rasch angeht. Man fördert in diesem Bereich viel Forschung mit geringer Bedeutung, zum Beispiel, ob elektromagnetische Felder Schlafstörungen auslösen. Das ist auch wichtig. Nur: Weit bedeutender ist die Frage, ob elektromagnetische Felder Krebs oder Alzheimer auslösen können oder ob noch weitere Erkrankungen ausgelöst werden. Dafür gibt es kaum Geld, obwohl es dringend nötig wäre.

Die Folgeforschung ist also nicht gesichert? Müsste die Regierung aktiv werden?

Adlkofer: Die Folgeforschung ist nicht gesichert, aber sie wird irgendwann kommen. In erster Linie wäre jetzt als Finanzier die Industrie gefragt, die die Produkte auf den Markt bringt. Natürlich ist die Politik mit in der Verantwortung. Ich habe aber den Eindruck, dass hier das Interesse relativ bescheiden ist. Wenn man bedenkt, dass die Bundesregierung 50 Milliarden Euro von der Industrie bekommen hat. Wenn man feststellt, dass die Industrie wegen dieser hohen Kosten in Bedrängnis ist, dann wollen Politiker offenbar diese zukunftsträchtige Industrie nicht weiter belasten. Deshalb wird bei Gesundheitsfragen etwas kürzer getreten. Das ist meine Befürchtung. Die Reaktion und die verhaltenen Antworten auf die Pläne, weiterzuforschen, lassen keinen anderen Schluss zu.

Sind die Grenzwerte für Handy-Strahlung zu hoch?

Adlkofer: Die Grenzwerte liegen bei zwei SAR. Das heißt "Specific Absorption Rate Watt pro Kilo Energieeintrag". Wir finden Veränderungen aber unterhalb dieser Grenzwerte für Handys. Man könnte deshalb annehmen, dass die Grenzwerte zu hoch sind. Diese beruhen ja auf dem Nachweis eines Temperaturanstiegs. Wir finden aber die ersten Veränderungen schon bei 0,3 Watt pro Kilogramm ohne Temperaturanstieg. Da muss man sich schon fragen, ob die Methode der Grenzwertbestimmung überhaupt korrekt ist oder ob sie überdacht werden muss, wozu ich neige.

Seit 40 Jahren gilt die Lehrmeinung, dass elektromagnetische Felder zu schwach sind, um Erbgut zu verändern. Unsere Ergebnisse haben jetzt das Gegenteil gezeigt.

RE: Heutige TZ über die Reflex-Studie

Liebe Manu,

danke für die Info, habe die Zeitung gestern gelesen. Damit ist die Mobilfunkindustrie inkl. Politik jetzt schwer in Zugzwang. Ich werde das bei meinen Vorträgen entsprechend einbauen. Es sind bereits zwei Vorträge für die ÖDP geplant.

Mein Vortrag vor 14 Tagen in Marktoberdorf hat übrigens dazu beigetragen, das der geplante Sender einheitlich vom Gemeinderat abgelehnt wurde.

Ich wünsche Dir ein schönes Weihnachtsfest und für 2005 alles Gute.

Herzliche Grüße aus Bad Heilbrunn

Dieter [Kugler]


RE: TZ über die Reflex-Studie

Nichts für ungut, aber die Reflex-Studie hat absolut nichts mit Sendern zu tun. Dazu sollte man die Reflex-Studie auch einmal lesen. SAR 0,3 war das Minimum, bei dem die Reflexstudie auf Zellebene Effekte fand, und das nach mehreren Stunden Einwirkungszeit. Diese werden selbst direkt am Sendemast nirgends erreicht, es sei denn im Nahfeld der Antenne (ca. 1 Meter).

Handy erreichen SAR 0,3 jedoch spielend und hier liegt das Problem - nicht beim Sender.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Jörg Wichmann (Client Services Manager)


Wesentlich bei REFLEX ist, dass die Studie zeigt, dass es eben durch nichtionisierende Strahlun ng zu solchen Folgen (Gendefekt) kommen kann.

War bisher energetisch ausgeschlossen und nur ionisierender Strahlung zugeschrieben worden!

Hinweise auf genschädigende Wirkungen elektromagnetischer Felder

21.12.2004 12:57

Bei der Suche nach einer Antwort auf die Frage, ob und wie elektromagnetische Felder unterhalb der gesetzlichen Grenzwerte biologische Wirkungen haben könnten, sind die Forscher möglicherweise einen wichtigen Schritt weiter gekommen. Die Ergebnisse der von 12 Forschergruppen durchgeführten, vierjährigen REFLEX-Studie sprechen dafür, dass elektromagnetische Felder genschädigende Wirkungen haben könnten. Dies soll prinzipiell für alle Frequenzbereiche gelten. Weitere Forschungen müssten jetzt klären, ob die im Reagenzglas gefundenen Ergebnisse auch auf lebende Organismen übertragbar sind.

"Wir sind in der Forschung nach wie vor noch nicht sehr weit, aber damit haben wir jetzt einen neuen, konkreten Ansatzpunkt, an dem man so schnell wie möglich weiterforschen muss", sagte Professor Franz Adlkofer, Leiter des REFLEX-Projektes gegenüber heise online. Ziel müsse dabei sein, zu klären, ob und unter welchen Umständen die im Laborversuch gefundenen Reaktionen auch bei Menschen und Tieren auftreten, um die bisherige Technik gegebenenfalls besser auf die biologischen Gegebenheiten abstimmen zu können.

PATRIOT ACT ABUSED AGAIN!!!!!

Probe Eyes Faulty FBI Arrest of Lawyer

By CURT ANDERSON, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - The Justice Department (news - web sites)'s watchdog office has opened an investigation into the arrest of an Oregon lawyer that was based on what turned out to be faulty FBI (news - web sites) analysis of a fingerprint linked to the deadly terrorist attack in Spain last March.

Glenn A. Fine, the department's inspector general, said the antiterrorism Patriot Act may have been improperly used in the arrest of attorney Brandon Mayfield.

Mayfield, a Muslim convert, was arrested May 6 on a material witness warrant after an FBI analysis concluded he was a match for a fingerprint found on a bag containing detonators like those used in the attacks on trains in Madrid that killed nearly 200 people and wounded 2,000.

A few weeks later, Mayfield was released after the FBI admitted it had made a mistake and that the fingerprint did not match Mayfield's.

The inspector general's investigation was disclosed in a twice-a- year report to Congress on potential civil rights and civil liberties abuses by Justice Department officials. A copy of the report was obtained by The Associated Press on Monday, a day ahead of its scheduled public release.

The Mayfield investigation is focusing on how the fingerprint error was made and also on a complaint by Mayfield that the "FBI inappropriately conducted a surreptitious search of his home ... potentially motivated by his Muslim faith and ties to the Muslim community," according to Fine's report.

The Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility also is investigating the actions of prosecutors in the Mayfield case.

The Patriot Act, passed a few weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, includes a provision authorizing the inspector general to review any complaints about civil liberties and civil rights abuses involving Justice Department personnel. The latest report covers the period between Dec. 16, 2003, and June 21, 2004.

During that time, the inspector general received 1,613 such complaints, the vast majority of which did not require investigation.

Nearly 1,000 of the complaints did not involve a Justice Department employee or included farfetched claims, such as that the government was interfering with a person's thoughts or pumping poisonous gas into someone's home. Another 410 complaints were outside the inspector general's jurisdiction, including claims of improper prison medical care and inadequate library facilities.

Of the remaining 208 complaints, only 13 were determined to warrant further review, including the Mayfield case.

Another case that prompted an investigation involves allegations by four people of Arab descent who say they were improperly detained by the FBI while trying to enter the United States. They were allegedly handcuffed, taken to an FBI office for questioning and "subjected to unnecessary humiliation," the report said.

Please also read RISK FACTORS at the link below, more of the rules being used to take the children and force them into the prisons described above. In the jail and in the state child jails the children are tortured and abused severally for violating these insane and inhuman rules. We have to create a massive outcry to release all children from these prisons NOW .... they have no way to defend themselves, often once removed, are severed from anyone they knew permanently. NO CRIME necessary to jail people, children.

The new MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT will send millions of children and adults to this torture and hell.... all it takes is one assessment and NO COURT OF REMEDY TO TURN IT AROUND.... The children are crying, the abuse is horrific, criminal policies by trained abusers to "control" them and "render them adoptable", abuse them until they cooperate.

New high-tech surveillance equipment revealed at the Redstone Arsenal's Weekly Arms Bazaar promises a dismal future for freedom-loving people of the world. The Friendly Colonel has filed the latest report from the most recent arms show at the Redstone Arsenal, which has been shut down and is essentially used for storage. Housed in this facility are several thousands of the new modified urban control Humvees, equipped with 14.5 mm cannons as well as many aerials and satellite dishes. Some are camouflage in color, but most of them are dark matte gray. They looked like they were painted with a sealer coat of paint (primer paint), before the final coat is painted on depending on the theater of operation in which they will be used. Of greater significance was the introduction of the new DCHD (Domestic Control Hover Drones), which were displayed and offered for sale. They're about a meter in diameter and probably weigh about twenty kilograms each. It looks like a life ring (life preserver) with a motor in the middle of it.

The Chinese and Russian arms dealers were interested in them, and evidently the British Government has been one of this device's primary buyers. Evidently we're not selling them to a lot of foreign countries at this time, but still building inventories for ourselves. Each of these DCHDs costs $178,000 a copy.

Ramifications of the Patriot Act still being argued

The worst terrorist strike on American soil in the nation's history also triggered wide-ranging changes to citizens' civil liberties in ways that, three years later, remain the subject of keen debate. In a report issued this week, on the eve of the third anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the national organization Human Rights First said some steps taken by the government were "sensible and appropriate" while others represent a "disturbing erosion" of civil liberties. "Perhaps the most disturbing change (during the past three years) has been the suggestion by some senior government officials that it is unpatriotic to challenge the administration's approach to national security," the report said. Cathryn Hazouri, executive director of the Colorado American Civil Liberties Union, said, "I do think that since 9/11, Americans have lost a lot of privacy. And they have lost a lot of the liberties that make us different from all the other countries in the world."

But U.S. Attorney John Suthers, whose first day in office was one week before the Sept. 11 attacks, believes the government has been measured in its response and that steps that have been taken - most notably the Patriot Act - haven't compromised civil liberties.

DAMAGE CONTROL: SELLING PATRIOT ACT ON ROAD SHOW

Due to the massive opposition by cities, counties and states to the "Patriot Act," Attorney General John Ashcroft is now sending forth his emissary, former U.S. assistant attorney general, Professor Viet Dinh, who authored the controversial legislation to conduct damange control in selected cities. To date, 282 communities in 39 states and four state-wide resolutions, representing about 49.3 million people have stepped forward to oppose the Patriot Act, either in whole or specific parts. Ashcroft's point man for this road tour is Professor Viet Dinh, currently a professor of law at Georgetown University and a term member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Dinh escaped from Viet Nam in 1978 at age 10. Now, at age 34, Dinh is quite a story: boat refugee from Vietnam, Oregon fruit picker, Orange County burger-flipper, Harvard Law School graduate, U.S. Supreme Court clerk, Georgetown Law School professor and lawyer to a high-powered congressional committee. Dinh became a mascot for the Republican party and a lawyer for two of this nation's most bitterly partisan battles: working for Sen. Alfonse M. D'Amato (R-N.Y.) in the Senate investigation into President Clinton's Whitewater dealings in the mid-1990s and in 1998 for Sen. Domenici during Clinton's impeachment trial. Henry Hyde, [R-Ill], member of the Council on Foreign Relations, presided over the House Managers during the impeachment trial.

Currently, Dinh is on tour for Ashcroft, bringing his support of the very law he crafted to American cities in an effort to stop the massive opposition to the law and refusal by cities and counties to carry out its provisions. Professor Dinh supports the Patriot Act as a deterrent to terrorism under "our constitutional democracy." The united States of America was established a Constitutional Republic and has never been a democracy...

has. FONTAINE LES DIJON Es muss wohl wie ein Paukenschlag mitten in der erholsamen Sommerpause geklungen haben, als Anfang August der Postbote im Rathaus von Fontaine les Dijon erschien um im Auftrag des Verwaltungsgerichts Dijon die Klageschrift der "Société Orange" zuzustellen. Das Unternehmen, das Mobilfunk-Antennen baut, wollte den Gemeindebeschluss vom Mai kippen, weil die Kirner Partnerstadt das Aufstellen der Antennen auf Privatgrundstücken untersagte. Nun verlangt die Klägerin Schadensersatz in Höhe von 5 000 Euro. Doch Bürgermeister Patrick Chapuis will gemeinsam mit seinem Rat an dem Beschluss festhalten. Eine Gerichtsverhandlung scheut niemand in Fontaines les Dijon.

Freisprechanlagen sind am Steuer genauso gefährlich wie Handys. Dies hat eine Studie des staatlichen schwedischen Verkehrsforschungsinstituts VTI jetzt ergeben.

Vorangegangen waren Tests in einem Fahrsimulator. Die Testteilnehmer selbst stuften zwar ihre Konzentration bei Verwendung einer Freisprechanlage als höher und ihre Fahrleistung als besser ein. Die von den Testern ermittelten Messwerte entsprachen diesem Eindruck aber nicht.

Ähnliche Untersuchungen in den USA hatten im vergangenen Jahr ebenfalls ergeben, dass Freisprechanlagen die Aufmerksamkeit des Fahrers nicht erhöhen. Generell vervierfacht sich dieser Erhebung zufolge das Unfallrisiko durch Telefongespräche am Steuer.

Aufruf an Betroffene und an Hilfswillige!

Sehr geehrte, werte und liebe Mobilfunkkritiker,

wie bekannt, drehen wir uns fast alle im Kreise; wir kämpfen vereinzelt, jeder hat zwar so manchmal sein Erfolgserlebnis, aber der Durchbruch zum entscheidenden Erfolg bleibt aus. Der Aufruf, Kräfte zu bündeln und dahingehend eine schlagkräftige Vereinigung zu organisieren bleibt ungehört, noch! Kein Wunder, denn um gegen ein vom Staat, der Industrie und deren Gefolgsleuten initiiertem Diktat anzugehen, fehlen uns einfach neben vielen Aktivisten auch die finanziellen Mittel. So "plätschert" alles weiter vor sich hin, in der Hoffnung, daß sich irgendwann die Vernunft bei den Verantwortlichen durchsetzen wird.

Nehmen Sie sich bitte 10 Minuten Zeit und lesen Sie den z.T. ja auch schon verbreiteten Fall der Familie Kind, Dresden.

Der Familie steht jetzt nur noch der Klageweg offen, ohne Versicherung und ohne eigene finanziellen Reserven.

In einem längeren Telefonat wurde mir dieser Fall noch einmal sehr ausführlich von Herrn Kind erläutert.

Eine weitere Kommentierung des Falles ist unnötig.

Allerdings haben wir es hier mit einem Fall zu tun, der bei exzellenter juristischer Begleitung eine Erschütterung der Grenzwerte und auch evtl. eine positive Grundsatzentscheidung zu erwarten lassen könnte, weil hier nämlich eine medizinische Kausalität zu den Erkrankungen ziemlich klar auf der Hand liegen dürfte und die Richter des VGH's gemäß dem BGH Urteil zu einer anderen Auffassung kommen könnten/müßten.

Wäre dem so, könnte dies ein Präjudizfall für viele von uns werden!

Spenden Sie - rufen Sie Famile Kind an und helfen Sie im Rahmen Ihrer persönlichen bzw. BI- Möglichkeiten.

Für diesen einmaligen aber auch begründeten Aufruf bitte ich um Verständnis.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Alfred Tittmann, Bruchköbel

Subject: Mobilfunksendeanlage in Dresden-Naußlitz

Sehr geehrter Herr Tittman,

wie mit meinem Mann besprochen erhalten Sie hiermit einige weitere Informationen über unser konkretes Problem.

Mit Widerspruchsbescheid om 25.08.2004 wurde unser Widerspruch gegen die Baugenehmigung im reinen Wohngebiet zurückgewiesen.

Nun müssen wir bis zum 24.09.04 Klage einreichen. Uns vertritt Herr RA Troidl aus Regensburg.

Aufgrund unseres eindeutigen Beschwerdebildes und dokumentierter Blutbildveränderungen können wir wohl hoffentlich die Grenzwerte erschüttern.

Die Klage wird wohl über 4500 € kosten (mit Antrag auf einstweiligen Rechtsschutz).

Da wir bereits sehr hohe finanzielle Belastungen für die Abschirmung, die Blutuntersuchungen und jetzt noch für hochdosierte Vitamine zu tragen haben, bitte ich darum uns finanziell zu unterstützen.

Vielleicht ist es möglich uns bis zum Sonntag 19.09.04 eine mögliche Spendensumme zu nennen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

EU-Recht: Weißbuch der EU zur Umwelthaftung und der EU-Vertrag

Quelle: Gemeinschaftsrecht der EU,
http://www.europa.eu.int/eur-lex/de/lif/index.html

Die Europäische Union hat bereits im Februar 2000 ein Weißbuch zur Umwelthaftung in der Europäischen Gemeinschaft herausgegeben. Das Dokument ist besonders aus rechtlicher Sicht sehr interessant und kann hier heruntergeladen werden: Weißbuch zur Umwelthaftung
http://www.elektrosmognews.de/umwelthaftungeu.pdf

In diesem Zusammenhang ist auch der EU-Vertrag interessant, insbesondere der Artikel 174, Absätze 2 und 3.

EG-Vertrag, Artikel 174, Absatz 3: "Bei der Erarbeitung ihrer Umweltpolitik berücksichtigt die Gemeinschaft

- die verfügbaren wissenschaftlichen und technischen Daten"

Da man die Erkenntnisse vieler anerkannnter Wissenschaftler im In- und Ausland bei den Grenzwertfestsetzungen einfach außer acht läßt, wird gegen den EU-Vertrag verstoßen.

Absatz 2 ist auch interessant:

"Die Umweltpolitik der Gemeinschaft zielt unter Berücksichtigung der unterschiedlichen Gegebenheiten in den einzelnen Regionen der Gemeinschaft auf ein hohes Schutzniveau ab. Sie beruht auf den Grundsätzen der Vorsorge und Vorbeugung, auf dem Grundsatz, Umweltbeeinträchtigungen mit Vorrang an ihrem Ursprung zu bekämpfen, sowie auf dem Verursacherprinzip."

Da das Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz erst kürzlich öffentlich bekundete, dass die derzeitigen Mobilfunk-Grenzwerte in keiner Weise dem Vorsorgegedanken Rechnung tragen, wird auch hier gegen den EU-Vertrag verstoßen.

Von einem "hohen Schutzniveau" kann durch die sehr unterschiedlichen Grenzwertfestlegungen in den EU-Staaten ohnehin keine Rede sein. Unterschiede in der Höhe der Grenzwerte werden EU-weit nicht mehr lange zu halten sein, auch rechtlich befindet man sich hier in einer Grauzone.

Hier ergeben sich sicher Ansatzpunkte für Anwälte europaweit.

Pressemitteilung vom 13. September 2004

Coordination gegen BAYER-Gefahren demonstriert in Köln gegen ABIC 2004

"Gentechnik-Industrie macht falsche Versprechungen"

In Köln beginnt heute die Agricultural Biotechnology International Conference (ABIC 2004), die nach eigenen Angaben zu den "weltweit wichtigsten Gentechnik-Konferenzen" zählt. Neben Wissenschaftlern und Politikern nehmen die 20 größten Agrar- und Nahrungsmittelmultis der Welt teil, darunter Monsanto, Nestlé, Bayer CropScience, Syngenta und BASF.

Umweltgruppen aus ganz Deutschland, darunter Greenpeace, attac und der BUND, demonstrieren heute gegen die Konferenz. Die Aktivisten errichten vor den Kölner Messehallen einen 8 m hohen Maiskolben und pflanzen ein symbolisches Versuchsfeld. Die Coordination gegen BAYER-Gefahren (CBG) kritisiert unter dem Slogan "Leben made by BAYER" das Gentechnik-Engagement des BAYER-Konzerns.

Axel Köhler-Schnura, Vorstand der CBG: "BAYER ist in Europa Marktführer für Gen-Saatgut und drängt mit gentechnisch verändertem Mais, Soja, Reis, Baumwolle und Raps auf den Markt. Ausschließlich aus Profitgründen - mit unabsehbaren Folgen für die Umwelt und die Landwirte in den Ländern des Südens."

"Die Konzerne versprechen auf der ABIC das Blaue vom Himmel: die Gentechnik soll das Welthunger-Problem lösen und den Verbrauch von Agrogiften verringern. Dabei ist Hunger ein Verteilungsproblem - durch Monokulturen und teures Gentech-Saatgut werden die Probleme noch verschärft. Und gentechnisch veränderte Pflanzen brauchen auf lange Sicht nicht weniger, sondern mehr Pestizide", so Köhler-Schnura weiter. Die CBG begleitet das Unternehmen BAYER seit 25 Jahren kritisch.

BAYER hat bei der EU eine Importgenehmigung für gentechnisch veränderten Reis beantragt. Millionen Bauern in den Ländern des Südens, die bislang durch Tausch und Eigenzüchtungen ihr Saatgut selbst produzieren, drohen dadurch in Abhängigkeit von multinationalen Konzernen zu geraten oder ihre Existenz zu verlieren. Lokal angepasste Reissorten würden bei einer Zulassung durch Gentech-Sorten verdrängt, was zu erhöhtem Schädlingsaufkommen, verstärktem Einsatz von Pestiziden und einer Verringerung der Artenvielfalt führt. Die Coordination gegen BAYER-Gefahren fordert die Bundesregierung auf, bei der EU auf eine Ablehnung der Importzulassung für Gen-Reis zu drängen.

Die Zulassung von gentechnisch verändertem Saatgut läuft schleppender an als von der Industrie erwartet: Belgien wies die Zulassung von genmanipuliertem Raps von BAYER zurück. In England wurde die Zulassung von Gen-Mais von BAYER ebenfalls abgelehnt.

September 10, 2004

George W. Bush presents conservatives with a fundamental challenge: Do they believe in anything other than power? Are they serious about their rhetoric on limited, constitutionally restrained government?

Bush appears to have remained strong in the presidential race by rallying conservatives behind him. In his convention acceptance speech he derided Sen. John Kerry's claim to represent "conservative values" and seized the mantle of promoting liberty at home and abroad.

Indeed, many conservatives react like the proverbial vampire at the sight of a cross when they consider casting a ballot for Kerry. Tom Nugent, a National Review Online contributing editor, wrote: "The last thing the Republican party needs is the reckless suggestion that conservatives vote Democratic." That is mild, however, compared with the American Conservative Union's mass e-mail solicitation headlined "Why Do Terrorists Want Kerry to Win?"

Republican partisans have little choice but to focus on Kerry's perceived vulnerabilities. A few high-octane speeches cannot disguise the catastrophic failure of the Bush administration in both its domestic and its foreign policies. Mounting deficits are likely to force eventual tax increases, reversing perhaps President Bush's most important economic legacy. The administration's foreign policy is an even greater shambles, with Iraq aflame and America increasingly reviled by friend and foe alike.

Quite simply, the president, despite his well-choreographed posturing, does not represent traditional conservatism -- a commitment to individual liberty, limited government, constitutional restraint and fiscal responsibility. Rather, Bush routinely puts power before principle. As Chris Vance, chairman of Washington state's Republican Party, told the Economist: "George Bush's record is not that conservative ... There's something there for everyone."

Even Bush's conservative sycophants have trouble finding policies to praise. Certainly it cannot be federal spending. In 2000 candidate Bush complained that Al Gore would "throw the budget out of balance." But the big-spending Bush administration and GOP Congress have turned a 10-year budget surplus once estimated at $5.6 trillion into an estimated $5 trillion flood of red ink. This year's deficit will run about $445 billion, according to the Office of Management and Budget.

Brian Riedl of the Heritage Foundation reports that in 2003 "government spending exceeded $20,000 per household for the first time since World War II." There are few programs at which the president has not thrown money; he has supported massive farm subsidies, an expensive new Medicare drug benefit, thousands of pork barrel projects, dubious homeland security grants, an expansion of Bill Clinton's AmeriCorps, and new foreign aid programs. What's more, says former conservative Republican Rep. Bob Barr, "in the midst of the war on terror and $500 billion deficits, [Bush] proposes sending spaceships to Mars."

Unfortunately, even the official spending numbers understate the problem. The Bush administration is pushing military proposals that may understate defense costs by $500 billion over the coming decade. The administration lied about the likely cost of the Medicare drug benefit, which added $8 trillion in unfunded liabilities. Moreover, it declined to include in budget proposals any numbers for maintaining the occupation of Iraq or underwriting the war on terrorism. Those funds will come through supplemental appropriation bills. Never mind that Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz had promised that reconstruction of Iraq could be paid for with Iraqi resources. (Yet, despite the Bush administration's generosity, it could not find the money to expeditiously equip U.S. soldiers in Iraq with body armor.)

Nor would a second Bush term likely be different. Nothing in his convention speech suggested a new willingness by Bush to make tough choices. Indeed, when discussing their domestic agenda, administration officials complained that the media had ignored their proposals, such as $250 million in aid to community colleges for job training. Not mentioned was that Washington runs a plethora of job training programs, few of which have demonstrated lasting benefits. This is the hallmark of a limited-government conservative?

Jonah Goldberg, a regular contributor to NRO, one of Bush's strongest bastions, complains that the president has "asked for a major new commitment by the federal government to insert itself into everything from religious charities to marriage counseling." Indeed, Bush seems to aspire to be America's moralizer in chief. He would use the federal government to micromanage education, combat the scourge of steroid use, push drug testing of high school kids, encourage character education, promote marriage, hire mentors for children of prisoners and provide coaches for ex-cons.

Conservative pundit Andrew Sullivan worries that Bush "is fusing Big Government liberalism with religious right moralism. It's the nanny state with more cash."

Yet some conservatives celebrate this approach. Kevin Fobbs and Lisa Sarrach of the National Urban Policy Action Council opine that Bush is "a strong leader, a comforter in chief." A comforter in chief?

Why, then, would any conservative believer in limited, constitutional government vote for Bush? It is fear of the thought of a President John Kerry.

Bobby Eberle of the conservative Web site GOPUSA warns, "One can only imagine the budgets that would be submitted by Kerry." President Bush has made the same point, repeatedly charging that Kerry "has promised about $2 trillion of new spending thus far." Maybe that is true, though the cost of Bush's actual performance would be hard to beat. After all, the president initiated a huge increase in the welfare state with his Medicare drug benefit bill. Veronique de Rugy of the American Enterprise Institute points out that, in sharp contrast to Presidents Reagan and Clinton, "Bush has cut none of the [federal] agencies' budgets during his first term."

Moreover, whatever the personal preferences of a President Kerry, he could spend only whatever legislators allowed, so assuming that the GOP maintains its control over Congress, outlays almost certainly would rise less than if Bush won reelection. History convincingly demonstrates that divided government delivers less spending than unitary control. Give either party complete control of government and the treasury vaults quickly empty. Share power between the parties and, out of principle or malice, they check each other. The American Conservative Union's Don Devine says bluntly: "A rational conservative would calculate a vote for Kerry as likely to do less damage" fiscally.

Maybe so, respond some conservatives, but how about the Bush tax cuts? The president tells campaign audiences: "They're going to raise your taxes; we're not." But even here the Bush record is not secure. Bruce Bartlett of the National Center for Policy Analysis points to the flood of red ink unleashed by the administration and predicts that tax hikes are inevitable irrespective of who is elected in November. That is, Bush's fiscal irresponsibility could cancel out his most important economic success for the GOP.

For some conservatives, the clincher in favor of Bush is the war on terrorism. Kerry, with more war experience than the current president and vice president combined, "resembles Neville Chamberlain," says Nugent. Answering his own hysterical question, "Why do terrorists want Kerry to win?" David Keene of the American Conservative Union says Kerry would submit to terrorists and "lead the free world to a second Munich," only this time with al-Qaida instead of Adolph Hitler.

Yet Bush's foreign policy record is as bad as his domestic scorecard. The administration correctly targeted the Taliban in Afghanistan, but quickly neglected that nation, which is in danger of falling into chaos. The Taliban is resurgent, violence has flared, drug production has burgeoned and elections have been postponed.

Iraq, already in chaos, is no conservative triumph. The endeavor is social engineering on a grand scale, a war of choice launched on erroneous grounds that has turned into a disastrously expensive neocolonial burden.

Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction, contrary to administration claims, and no operational relationship with al-Qaida, contrary to administration insinuations. U.S. officials bungled the occupation, misjudging everything from the financial cost to the troop requirements.

Particularly shocking is the administration's ineptitude with regard to Iraq. Fareed Zakaria writes in Newsweek, "On almost every issue involving postwar Iraq -- troop strength, international support, the credibility of exiles, de-Baathification, handling Ayatollah Ali Sistani -- Washington's assumptions and policies have been wrong. By now most have been reversed, often too late to have much effect. This strange combination of arrogance and incompetence has not only destroyed the hopes for a new Iraq. It has had the much broader effect of turning the United States into an international outlaw in the eyes of much of the world."

Sadly, the Iraq debacle has undercut the fight against terrorism. The International Institute for Strategic Studies in its most recent study warns that the Iraq occupation has spurred recruiting by smaller terrorist groups around the world. And acting CIA Director John McLaughlin worries that terrorists are plotting "something big" against the United States. For a time the Pentagon considered closing its child care center, lest it become the target of an attack. NRO columnist Goldberg observes that the president's contention that the war in Iraq has made America safer "is absurd." Goldberg backs the war for other reasons, but says it was probably "the risky thing in the short run."

Bush -- not even sure himself whether the war on terrorism is winnable -- has been unable to demonstrate how Iraq has reduced the threat of terrorism against America. Instead, he says: "I need four more years to complete the work. There's more work to do to make America a safer place. There's more work to do to make the world a more peaceful place." Alas, there's more work, far more work, to do because of Bush's misguided policies.

A few conservatives are distressed at what Bush has wrought in Iraq. "Crossfire" host Tucker Carlson said recently: "I think it's a total nightmare and disaster, and I'm ashamed that I went against my own instincts in supporting it." William F. Buckley Jr., longtime National Review editor and columnist, wrote: "With the benefit of minute hindsight, Saddam Hussein wasn't the kind of extra-territorial menace that was assumed by the administration one year ago. If I knew then what I know now about what kind of situation we would be in, I would have opposed the war."

And opposed it he should have. The conflict is undermining America's values. As social critic Randolph Bourne long ago observed, "War is the health of the state." Although the Constitution is not a suicide pact, the so-called PATRIOT Act threatens some of the basic civil liberties that make America worth defending. Abu Ghraib has sullied America's image among both friends and enemies.

Still, there obviously are issues important to conservatives on which the candidates differ. On abortion and judicial appointments, for instance, Bush is clearly superior for conservatives. On business regulation Bush is probably better. For this reason Paul Weyrich of the Free Congress Foundation worries that "in punishing Bush, they [conservatives opposing him] may end up punishing the country." The administration has also sacrificed economic liberty on issues such as antitrust, telecommunications and trade.

But these differences in practice may matter little. Not much can be done on abortion given current court rulings and the fact that Bush has won approval of few of his most conservative nominees. Republican senators could limit Kerry's choices just as Democratic senators have limited Bush's choices.

Bush's record has been so bad that some of his supporters simply ask, So what? Bush is "a big government conservative," explains commentator Fred Barnes. That means using "what would normally be seen as liberal means -- activist government -- for conservative ends. And they're willing to spend more and increase the size of government in the process."

But this political prostitution is unworthy of venerable conservative principles. Undoubtedly, reducing the reach of government is not easy, and there is no shame in adjusting tactics and even goals to reflect political reality. But to surrender one's principles, to refuse to fight for them, is to put personal ambition before all else.

The final conservative redoubt is Bush's admirable personal life. Alas, other characteristics of his seem less well suited to the presidency. By his own admission he doesn't do nuance and doesn't read. He doesn't appear to reflect on his actions and seems unable to concede even the slightest mistake. Nor is he willing to hold anyone else responsible for anything. It is a damning combination. John Kerry may flip-flop, but at least he realizes that circumstances change and sometimes require changed policies. He doesn't cowardly flee at the first mention of accountability.

Some onetime administration supporters have grown disillusioned. Sullivan observes: "To have humiliated the United States by presenting false and misleading intelligence and then to have allowed something like Abu Ghraib to happen ... is unforgivable. By refusing to hold anyone accountable, the president has also shown he is not really in control. We are at war; and our war leaders have given the enemy their biggest propaganda coup imaginable, while refusing to acknowledge their own palpable errors and misjudgments."

Those who still believe in Bush have tried to play up comparisons with Ronald Reagan, but I knew Reagan and he was no George W. Bush. It's not just that Reagan read widely, thought deeply about issues and wrote prolifically. He really believed in the primacy of individual liberty and of limited, constitutional government.

In his farewell address to the nation on Jan. 11, 1989, Reagan observed: "I wasn't a great communicator, but I communicated great things." Even when politics forced him to give way, everyone knew what he stood for. Bush's biggest problem, in contrast, is not that he is a poor communicator. It is that he has nothing to communicate. Victory over terrorists, yes -- but then what American really disagrees with that goal? Beyond that there is nothing.

"Government should never try to control or dominate the lives of our citizens," Bush says. But you wouldn't know that from his policies. He has expanded government power, increased federal spending, initiated an unnecessary war, engaged in global social engineering and undercut executive accountability. This is a bill of particulars that could be laid on Lyndon Johnson's grave. No wonder "Republicans aren't very enthusiastic about" Bush, says right-wing syndicated columnist Robert Novak.

Although anecdotal evidence of conservative disaffection with Bush is common --for instance, my Pentagon employee neighbor, a business lobbyist friend, even my retired career Air Force father -- for many the thought of voting for John Kerry remains simply too horrific to contemplate. And this dissatisfaction has yet to show up in polls. Fear of Kerry, more than love of Bush, holds many conservatives behind the GOP.

Yet serious conservatives must fear for the country if Bush is reelected. Is Kerry really likely to initiate more unnecessary wars, threaten more civil liberties and waste more tax dollars? In any case, there are other choices (e.g., the Libertarian Party's Michael Badnarik, the Constitution Party's Michael Peroutka and even Independent Ralph Nader).

Serious conservatives should deny their votes to Bush. "When it comes to choosing a president, results matter," the president says. So true. A Kerry victory would likely be bad for the cause of individual liberty and limited government. But based on the results of his presidency, a Bush victory would be catastrophic. Conservatives should choose principle over power.

Exposing the Republican strategy to suppress the minority vote or lose.
http://www.tompaine.com/opinion/#001835

Shining a spotlight on the intimidation of black voters, Bob Herbert lists more unconscionable election abuses and a way to deal with them. A group called the Election Protection Coalition has formed to collect and respond to reports of voter suppression. Read the article and join the movement to protect the vote...

This is just a quick note about a couple of things--and to ask you for a big, big favor.

First, we're on the road, at the moment in Oregon, doing our strange variety of campaigning. We plan to keep going, mostly through swing states, up till November 2; watch here for updates:
http://www.theyesmen.org/blog/

Also, in just two weeks, on September 24, the movie about our *last* strange round of campaigning--a three-year stint posing as WTO representatives--will be released by United Artists in New York and Los Angeles.

In "The Yes Men," a lot of powerful folks, including our current "president," find their ideas and actions exposed and skewered in crazy, funny, and horrible ways. Many of those who have seen the movie in festivals have said they left the theater enraged, engaged, and full of the urge to act; even press screenings, usually dour events, have people rolling in the aisles, then writing us heartfelt messages.

A number of viewers have even told us they think "The Yes Men" could make a difference in the thinking of "middle America." Just in case they're right, we have to do everything in our power to make sure it gets to that audience.

This is where the favor comes in. If our movie doesn't have a big opening week in New York and Los Angeles, it won't go anywhere else--that's the way it works with small films these days. For folks in smaller cities to see it, "The Yes Men" has to be seen by many thousands of people in New York and Los Angeles the week of September 24. Can you help make that happen?

This movie (like our new book, http://www.theyesmen.org/book/) has already been ringingly endorsed by George W. Bush ("There ought to be limits to freedom") and the ex-director of the World Trade Organization ("Deplorable"). But believe it or not, even such glowing reviews won't get it into theaters in Toledo and St. Paul.

So please: on September 24 or in the week thereafter, if you live in or near New York or Los Angeles, PLEASE go see "The Yes Men." Take your friends. Take your enemies. Take people you've never met. And forward this message widely.

That way, other people you've never met, who live in swing states, will get yet another dose of political education in movie form--this one coated in a thick, sugary layer of laughs.

Your friends,
The Yes Men

Rice in Asia: Too Little Iron, Too Much Arsenic
http://www.i-sis.org.uk/RIATLITMA.php

THERE IS NOT A BANNER BIG ENOUGH TO WRITE THIS MESSAGE.... PLEASE SHARE FAR AND WIDE THAT THERE IS AN ANSWER, IT IS IN OUR OWN EMPOWERMENT AND HAS TO BE ACTIVATED NOW .... WE ARE BEYOND TALK NOW ... THEY ARE MOVING AN AGRESSIVE AGENDA TO ENFORCE THE POLICE STATE NOW .

More bills are being passed every day, invading our privacy and monitoring our lives. WHO are these "people" who are writing these bills? They are mindless that all Rights are EQUAL and the deprivations of rights they are creating in their "rulemaking" affect their lives just like everyone else. Robots, unhuman, no human responses. Take infants off the breast at birth for no crime, sure, why not, and profit from those destroyed lives for the state machine.. .the next generation of victims to keep the system sustainable....

We watch them argue the langauge terms in the statutes they use to enforce these restrictions, codes, zones, districts, statutes, administrative rules. Right now in the legislature the representatives CANNOT DEFINE THE TERMS they are using on free people to seize our children, monitor us in our homes, cars, at school. THEY HAVE ADMITTED THERE IS NO STANDARD IN LAW. THAT THE PROCESS VARIES "FROM COUNTY TO COUNTY AND ACCORDING TO THE JUGE AND THE AMOUNT OF REVENUE TO THAT COUNTY" they admit. ALL of the information gathered on the people is used IMMEDIATELY in shared databases against the people in any way they can find - ALWAYS.

They call it "selling services" and "helping people" and "protecting children" and "saves money for the state" and is "prudent" and "good business" to pass the rules. There is NO consideration at all about the constitution or the law or the rights of the people being stripped. All the ticket writing statutues for the police state enforcers they just pass without conscience or accountability to the poeple at all. And if you ask them what they are doing they dont answer, and when you subpoena them into court they get a fellow corrupt judge to quash the subpoena, the Supreme Court refuses to make them answer..... NO COURT OF REMEDY, NO RIGHTS FOR ANY OREGONIANS. And these policies are now national, and international stututory compliance to the "PANGLOBAL" AGENDA that they have created now. They started these FRAUD courts in Oregon too, in l988 or so calling them "small world courts". No Bill of Rights considered in the process. The law prohibits EVERYTHING they are doing !!! SO CRIMINALS LIKE KEVIN MANNIX CHANGED THE WORDING IN THE CONSTITUTION TO "ALLOW" THEIR SCHEMES INSTEAD OF ADHERING TO THE CONSTITUTION. The people have to see through these deceptions.

There is BREACH between the things the legislators are writing as "law" and the process going on in the COURT where these "laws" are enforced.... where the rubber meets the road... where the REAL EVENTS occur in how these rules and statutes are exploited. Most of the legislators are not attorneys and there is a core of bar members who influence the rest of them, along with the 'bag men", their corporate interest lobbyists. As Senator Kate Brown said "it is the stack of checks that is largest and says thank you for remembering us" how the voting goes....THAT IS WHO THEY THINK THEY WORK FOR .... AND THAT THEIR JOB IS TO WRITE LAWS...... they are mosly so ignorant that if you watch them you realize you would not hire one of them for your own company... they are NOT respectable, they are the most compromised who will act for their "interest" no matter whose rights they violate to make their profit ! That is ALL that is going on ....

We all have to learn process and all legislators have to come to terms NOW with how the corrupted process in the courts is using their "lawmaking" in exploitive ways against the people, their own families and relatives are not immune.

The scary thing is that 99% of these people have no idea what we are talking about. They do not know or want to know, and refuse to listen. It is beyond amazing for courtwatchers to watch these hearings and hear them pass these bills that totally invade our lives. You watch and can't believe they would disregard the law and act in such brazen contempt for your rights as they do. When you watch it first hand you want to do anything within your power to stop them NOW on the spot, and they MUST be stopped.

These are elected and appointed officials, bar members in every "branch" and a one hands group. This is by definition collusion and racketeering, literally operating a for profit scheme of one or more acting together violating the rights of another.... way worse than an event, they are engaging in SYSTEMIC racketeering, and they pass their own "laws" to "allow" this to go on, between attorneys.

For the people there is NO REMEDY outside of us BEING the remedy ourselves. Restoring our lawful process and insisting that this happens. Start getting into the courtrooms around each others cases and in groups tell these corrupt judges that we are going to arrest them if they act in ways that violate lawful process in that courtroom. WE ARE THE AUTHORITY. WE HAVE TO ACT LIKE IT.

We are writing this in such EXTREME URGENCY that people have to STOP these bills in their tracks and there is no more time to spend arguing about their intentions. WE SEE CLEARLY THE INTENTION OF THIS CORRUPTED GOVERNMENT AND WE HAVE TO TAKE BACK AMERICA NOW. OR WE WILL NOT HAVE ANYWHERE TO STAND TO EXCERCISE OUR FREEDOM. IT IS PAST THE FINAL HOUR IF WE DO NOT ACT.

There are those who say it is too late, but it is NOT too late... it is EXACTLY the right time that we all RISE UP IN THE TRUTH about what we know and stop allowing these creatures to run other people's lives with their fear mongering and death schemes, beliefs in disease and authorities having no connection to themselves as the SOVEREIGN. We have to restore this concept if there is any hope of saving our precious freedom.

Kingdoms fall historically, brutally, we are naive to think it wont happen to our beloved America and the freedom we all think we enjoy with the Bill of Rights that we have. But is has been usurped and we have to come into the courts NOW and SPEAK THE TRUTH ON THE RECORD and make PUBLIC the things we know in all facets of this deception.

We are in a position of POWER now, most people dont realize it.... if you saw what we have seen for the past eight years changing in the court system you would know that they are exposed to the core, cannot defend anything they are doing, and are ONLY GETTING AWAY WITH IT BECAUSE THE PEOPLE OUT OF FEAR OR BELIEF GO ALONG WITH IT..... STOP BELIEVING IN OTHER AUTHORITIES IN YOUR LIFE.... LEARN about your Rights and then Excercise them, stop compromising with fear....

Our prosecutor friend and teacher Roger Weidner says to people every day "your children will put a spitoon on your grave and rightly so, for not doing anything when you had the ability to stop this".... and he is so absolutely RIGHT .

The whole ANSWER depends now on a critical mass of real honest free people with instincts intact to respond to danger. We see so little of this it is terrifying because the machine is moving more agressively than ever before.... shredding people in their corporate interest process that has taken over our judicial due process. In commerce there is no "human rights", only exhange and revenue moving.... only about money. This corporate system has now supplanted our Bill of Rights process, and there is no court of remedy for the people at this time when the state or corporate special interest is on the other side. It is ALL subverted....

But WE HAVE NOT YET EXCERCISED OUR LAWFUL SOLUTION.... SUI JURIS, PRO PER, IN THE COURTROOM, THE LIVING PEOPLE STANDING, SPEAKING OUT, MAKING THE RECORD THAT INCRIMINATES AND EXPOSES THE FRAUD AND CRIMINALS....

This has to happen. IT is terrifying to see how quickly they are passing these abominations and enforcing them now, POLICE STATE IS HERE IF WE BEND OVER AND ALLOW THIS STATUTORY RAPE AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

IF WE DO NOTHING OUR CHILDREN HAVE NO FUTURE. IT IS UP TO YOU. EVERY ONE HAS A PIECE OF THIS AND IF YOU ARE NOT ACTIVELLY IN SOME WAY STOPPING IT, YOU ARE ALLOWING IT TO CONTINUE AND ARE GUILTY FOR THE RESULTS ON EVERYONE ELSE BECAUSE OF YOUR WILLFUL IGNORANCE. NO FENCE SITTING ON THIS, YOU ARE SAYING NO AND GETTING THIS INFORMATION TO EVERYONE YOU CAN OR YOU ARE A SLAVE TO THIS BEAST AND SUPPORTING THIS CRIMINAL OPERATION.

This is SEEN now, that is a major step that had never happened until now. Now that we see it we have to stop it. They are moving their agenda with us watching, changing the terms of the statutes every day to allow their programs to be called "lawful" when they violate the public trust and the rights of the people blatantly. EXTREME CONTEMPT they are acting in for the people.

On our website http://www.avoiceforchildren.com we have consolidated huge amounts of relevant information to bring people up to speed on the core issues and deception we are facing. Everything about the process, our rights, the bigger picture, court process and answering questions about legal matters for free for anyone who needs help. (If you write and dont get a response please write until you do - we are swamped with new people every day, the need is unbelievable, more people every day losing everything and no redress, exploited and rendered by their "own" attorneys and judges in corrupt courts ! Ask whatever you need to !) The average people on the street seem to understand that there is corruption, that is a major break in the false trust that was going on previously.

But they do not yet see the seriousness or urgency of their own responsibility to act, to stop complying whenever they are confronted by state rules that violate their rights. WE HAVE TO STOP THIS OURSELVES AND WE HAVE TO TO IT NOW IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS. OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS HAVE TAKEN OVER OUR SOVERIEGNTY. Most legislators have no clue about what real law is, what their own rights are, that what they are engaging in is absolute criminal acts, or how the things they are passing are used by the corrupt judges as rules of court and NOT as they think they are passing them. The exploitation is within their members totally, all attorneys do is LIE.

Most people we meet do not have a clue about what sovereignty or inherent rights are, their own birthright, much less how to excercise those rights going through life. They have no idea that they are slaves due to the "implied consent" scheme compelled contract the courts move under, you are a slave and have no rights and when you say "yes" when asked "do you understand the charges" you have waivered your rights to that administrative process.... this is not understood, or that the deceptions are all in the process.

We hope that people will make use of our website to learn how to protect themselves, their children, start acting to take back America with others who also now see the core deceptions and that they each have a critical voice in the bigger picture.

The scope of the beast we face is enormous. Beyond the average people's lives completely. Corrupted judges like PAUL LIPSCOMB in Marion County moving BILLIONS $$ handling both the PERS cases and the SAIF cases, two of the biggest fraud cases in the courts, involving theft and conversion and systemic fraud in the state money..... A MAN FOUND GUILTY IN 1998 BY A JURY IN MARION COUNTY IN HIS OWN COURTHOUSE OF RACKETEERING AND CONSPIRACY. THE PEOPLE HAVE TO BRING PROSECUTION AND CONSEQUENCES NOW.

It is seen now that the whole answer is in everyone saying NO. It does not cost money to say no to them but you risk the retaliation they enact almost without exception. But that is because MORE of us have to do it.... As more people learn about their rights, and we stand together and say no more, and stop giving our personal information over at all and refuse all forms of questioning our children, assessing our lives, families..... This is a REPUBLIC on which we stand for real.

They enforce all this through courtrooms and that is where we take it back. The public record is OURS and they have taken it over. We take it back by BEING the answer. Making them come in and either defend what they are doing or we see they are lying... IT IS THAT SIMPLE PEOPLE.... IT IS NOT DEAD... IT IS WHETHER WE ACTIVATE OUR BIRTHRIGHT OR NOT THAT IS WHAT MATTERS NOW.

Please learn all you can to make the best choices when you are confronted with the one state agent and his database assessment tool... they call it "no wrong door" and they mean it. ALL the information they gather on you IS used against you. No such thing as a miranda right with this anymore, no rights at all for you when you go in and try to deal with this corporate system now. If you are not personally in there you think court to be something it is not at all in reality...

We have to start acting in the active present with what is REAL NOW.....

Nachricht von der BI Bad Dürkheim

I hope I have the email address correct. Thank you for all the information you send, it is useful as I have been helping villagers here in trying to have an Orange mast moved from 14metres outside homes. They have been suffering the usual symptoms for three years now - chronic insomnia and headaches; eye problems; earache, tinnitus, vertigo and nausea etc. There have been four cases of stroke/heartattack; several cases of raised bloodpressure; two cases of inexplicable raisd white bloodcell count and 8 cases of severe, uncharacteristic nose bleeds 14 to 100 metres from the mast. Also two pets have now died of tumours after weeks of vomiting and restlessness and two other dogs have small growths on their paws which they keep chewing and having them removed by the vet (the growths return return soon afterwards).

I recently noticed at the end of the Pandora document an announcement that America is trying to develop antipersonnel weapons from Electromagnetic radiofrequency, see my highlighted copy of the document below.
Hope it is of use to you,
Yours very sincerely,

Gillian Lyden


PANDORA. (SEE END OF 'PANDORA' DOC.)

So EMRF emissions don't have an adverse effect upon health? HOW then are the Americans developing ANTIPERSONNEL WEAPONS with them?

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. I thought you should see this evidence, which all authorities responsible for placing or allowing masts to be placed near homes are ignoring. As far as I can tell, the only emissions being tested are the thermal emissions, whilst the ones causing all the health problems (and interfering with electrical /electronic hospital and 'plane equipment) are non-thermal low radio -frequency emissions. Human bodies are full of electrical energy (our brains activate muscles etc with electrical impulses) therefore it is commonsense that non-thermal emissions can also interfere with the workings of any bodies which 'get in the way' so to speak.

(Before I knew anything about EMRF emissions, I read an article in a magazine regarding a new weapon America was developing. I think it was called 'Heaven's Gate'. The weapon consisted of certain 'rays' which they were trying to 'bounce off the ionosphere'. It stayed in the back of my mind, because I thought how irresponsible it was for a country to use Earth's ionosphere for such a purpose without first discussing it with the rest of the world. Suppose the ionospere itself were to be damaged? What would be the effects? Can this be the weapon DARPA are developing?)

British policemen are now suffering from insomnia, headaches, nausea, vertigo and hearing loss whilst using handsets with the new Tetra masts. As have villagers in Kensworth (as well as painful, bloodshot eyes; nose-bleeds; strokes etc.) ever since the Orange mast was activated in September 2001.

LIST OF SYMPTOMS EXPERIENCED IN KENSWORTH - STILL ONGOING AFTER TWO AND A HALF YEARS! NOW THREE YEARS (SEPTEMBER 2004! )

INSOMNIA-NIGHT AFTER NIGHT - only relieved by going away on holiday.

EXHAUSTION (of course).

CONTINUAL DAILY HEADACHES.

SORE, BLOODSHOT EYES.

VERTIGO AND NAUSEA.

EARACHE AND TINNITUS. (These 6 symptoms are the most common symptoms, and are suffered by all the people closest to the mast)

EXTREME THIRST WITH ULCERATED MOUTHS AND THROATS; RAISED BLOOD PRESSURE, STROKES and heart attack (1 man had two strokes -1 when the mast was first activated in autumn 2002 and a worse one when it was re-activated after being off for the whole of April 2002, he is now disabled).

NOSEBLEEDS - most recently a man visiting his parents woke with his pillow soaked in blood on Christmas day. When the same thing happened on Boxing day he took his family away vowing never to return until the mast was taken away. A 16 year old boy 100m from the mast is suffering frequent, heavy nosebleeds which continued even after his nose was cauterised.

RASHES. A 15 year old girl (+ insomnia, headaches and depression) whose symptoms continue whatever treatment she has from the doctor/hospital (her dog keeps developing small tumours on its paws which have to be removed by the vet - otherwise the dog constantly chews its paws.

On Sunday June 27th, I learnt that 2 ladies having been ill and doctors unable to find the cause have finally both been diagnosed with a raised white bloodcell count - see 'PANDORA'. One of these ladies became a widow last week, when her 51 yr old husband had a massive heart attack and died suddenly. The other also has insomnia, headaches and feels tired and ill all the time.

Historically the Soviet Union has invested huge sums of money and time investigating microwaves and their effects. In 1952, while the Cold War was showing no signs of thawing, there was a secret meeting at the Sandia Corporation in New Mexico between U.S. and Soviet scientists involving the exchange of information regarding the biological hazards and safety levels of EMR. The Soviets possessed the greater preponderance of information, and the American scientists were too pigheaded to take it seriously. In subsequent meetings, the Soviet scientists continued to stress the seriousness of the risks, while American scientists downplayed their importance and so humiliated them.

Shortly after the last Sandia meeting, the Soviets began covertly directing RADAR like microwave beams at the U.S. embassy in Moscow, not only gathering intelligence but using embassy workers as guinea pigs for low-level EMR experiments and a means to prove their claims. Washington, D.C. was initially oddly quiescent, regarding the Moscow embassy bombardment.

The U.S. government woke up to the reality of psychotronics when from 1960 to 1965, the directed electromagnetic and microwave emissions at the U.S embassy caused a wide range of physical and mental illness among many U.S. personnel serving there. Casualties include the eventual death of the U.S. Ambassador himself. Dr Stephen Possony a one time Science Advisor to the Department of Defense, now retired, said:

"After the death of our ambassador in Moscow, due to contracting leukemia, and a couple of other employees, it suddenly dawned on us to have a real careful look at what was happening there."

Discovered in 1962, these complex set of electromagnetic signals were investigated by the CIA, which hired a consultant, Milton Zaret, and code named the research "Project Pandora". According to Zaret, the Moscow signal was composed of several frequencies, and was focused each day precisely upon the Ambassador's office, U.S. Embassy in Moscow. The intensity of the bombardment was not made public, but when the State Department finally admitted the existence of the signal, it announced that it was fairly low. These signals were measured in the short "S" and long "L" spectrum had extremely complex modulations with a pattern of variations, some of which were quite random. A Top Secret Eyes Only memorandum, dated 20 December 1966 from ARPA shows the significance of this project. This memorandum summarizes the initial results obtained from this program.

The White House has directed, through USIB [U.S. Intelligence Board] that intensive investigative research be conducted within the State Department, CIA and DoD to attempt to determine what the threat is. This national program has been coordinated by the State Department and was code named TUMS. ARPA is represented and is conducting research on a selective portion of the overall program concerned with one of the potential threats, that of the effects of low level electromagnetic radiation on man.

Project PANDORA was to include a number of parallel projects, such as Projects TUMS, MUTS, and BAZAR, involving the CIA, Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA), the State Department, the Navy and the Army. They were tasked to study the effects of the emitted Soviet microwaves on animals and humans. In April 1976 the Secretary of State Henry Kissinger sent the following telegram to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow which summarized the conclusions of the study of the Moscow signal.

Subject: Radiation and UHF and Electromagnetic Dangers

Beginning in 1960 the Soviet Union directed the high frequency beams of radiation at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow which were calculated not to pick up intelligence but cause physiological effects on personnel. The effects the Soviets calculated to achieve in the personnel serving (at least as early as 1960) included (A) Malaise (B) Irritability, (C) Extreme fatigue. At this time the Soviets believed that the induced effects were temporary. Subsequently, it has been verified that the effects are not temporary. Definitely tied to such radiation and the UHF/VHF electromagnetic waves are: (A) Cataracts, (B) Blood changes that induce heart attacks, (C) Malignancies, (D) Circulatory problems, and (E) Permanent deterioration of the nervous system. In most cases the after-effects do not become evident until long after exposure - a decade or more.

There was consensus among Soviet EMR researchers that a beam such as the Moscow signal was destined to produce blurred vision and loss of mental concentration. The Boston Globe reported that the American ambassador had not only developed a leukemia like blood disease, but also suffered from bleeding eyes and chronic headaches. Under the CIA's Project Pandora, monkeys were brought into the embassy and exposed to the Moscow signal; they were found to have developed blood composition anomalies and unusual chromosome counts. Embassy personnel were found to have a 40 percent higher than average white blood cell count. While Operation Pandora's data gathering proceeded, embassy personnel continued working in the facility and were not informed of the bombardment until 10 years later. Embassy employees were eventually granted a 20 percent hardship allowance for their service in an unhealthful post. Throughout the period of bombardment, the CIA used the opportunity to gather data on psychological and biological effects of the beams on our American personnel.

The U.S. government has carefully studied the electromagnetic signatures and examined health affects of the Moscow signal radiation. The job was turned over to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). DARPA is now developing and testing new electromagnetic antipersonnel weaponry.

This war will not continue indefinitely. America will not tolerate it. We were persuaded by George Bush to support an invasion to remove what was said to be a grave threat. The Congress may have given the president a blank check, but this nation never signed up for an endless war to make Iraq safe for democracy. Nor will Americans pay an endless price in blood to achieve it. If George Bush believes we will, he misreads America...

Here's an intriguing thought: Maybe opposition to President Bush is much more widespread than anyone suspects, because people are afraid to say what they are really thinking. I got an inkling of this when I was speaking to a group of people who came to a Borders Bookstore in Villanova, PA last night where I was talking about my new book, This Can't Be Happening! Several people there, some who identified themselves as Democrats, and some who somewhat sheepishly admitted to being Republicans, said that they felt intimidated in their own neighborhoods about expressing their opposition to the Iraq War and their dislike of President Bush. The Republicans in particular seemed nervous about expressing their thoughts and one told me she was afraid to tell neighbors her opinions about the war and about the president...

The prevailing rhetoric insists that any alternative to current U.S. wars is unthinkable. No less than Saadoun Hammadi two years ago, the president and vice president like to use the royal 'we' when discussing military action they favor. But the underlying message, decoded, can be understood as: 'Let's you and them fight.' During the next weeks, to a large degree, hopes for the Bush-Cheney ticket may hinge on the willingness of the news media to ignore such realities. Historically, the USA's media establishment has been overly fond of 'leadership' in Washington that sends other people off to kill and be killed -- routinely, as in the case of the Iraq war, on the basis of lies. Government officials who glorify other people's patriotic deaths are rarely eager to partake of such glory themselves. Cases in point: Saadoun Hammadi. Dick Cheney. George W. Bush...

Police may soon have a new high-tech tool to help prevent DWI offenders from repeating their mistakes. It's an ankle bracelet that allows police to monitor someone's alcohol level 24 hours a day. Don White is with the Alcohol Monitoring Systems. “So this is the first offender or patient bracelet that tests them consistently.?The idea's similar to a house arrest ankle bracelet. Once a court orders the offender to wear it, probation officers will know when the offender's drinking 24 hours a day. “We're able to test the molecules of ethanol that are coming off the ankle because five percent of everything you drink comes out you're body and we capture that,?White explained.

The bracelet, knowns as SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor), automatically tests the sweat every hour. Even if the offender is at a bar or anywhere away from home, the ankle bracelet tests the alcohol level and when that offender gets home the information is automatically downloaded through a modem. So far the system's been protested in court 60 times but each time police have prevailed.

Red Alert: UK Patriot Act On Its Way

All well-meaning people need to take action against the Civil Contingencies Bill now before the House of Lords. This extremely dangerous Bill would give the Government the legal power to put an end to democratic institutions and civil liberties in the UK. Believe it or not, it's true. No exaggeration. Lord Lucas, speaking in the House of Lords during the July 5th second reading, came to the point: "Are we opening up our system to the equivalent of what happened in Germany in 1933, where it became possible for an extreme party legitimately to hijack a democracy and turn it into something totalitarian? . . . They [the New Labour Government] appear to want a role of issuing diktats." He concluded by calling for amendments to the Bill which would safeguard our rights, "or we are signing our death warrant as a democracy".
That is exactly the issue and the menace. Lord Lucas was not exaggerating.
