REYKJAVIK - If you eat seal or walrus, boil the meat and avoid eating
the liver or fat. Better yet, eat arctic char or caribou.

That's the advice from a new report on persistent organic pollutants,
toxic substances which are in the northern food chain and, at high
levels, can cause severe damage to human health.

The report tabled last week at the Arctic Council meeting in Iceland is called Persistent Toxic Substances, Food Security and Indigenous Peoples of the Russian North. It shows Russia's Arctic regions are heavily toxic and high levels of persistent organic pollutants or POPs threaten human health.

"Children are affected in the most critical points of their development - as a fetus and while breastfeeding," said Vitaly Kimstach, one of the authors of the report.

In many cases these dangerously high levels of POPs present in the blood of Inuit in Chukotka are the same as have been found in Inuit in Nunavik and other coastal regions of the Arctic, the report says.

The situation in coastal Chukotka is said several times to be "comparable" or "similar" to Nunavik, with many levels for POPs about the same.

The POPs examined in the report include polychlorinated biphenyls or PCBs, flame retardants, pesticides like DDT, combustion products and heavy metals. The POPs come from Europe, Russia, North America and South East Asia, carried by the wind, water or other forms of contact.

From the Kola Peninsula in western Siberia to Chukotka in the East, the report's results showed all Russian indigenous communities had moderate - or much higher - exposure to the major groups of global environmental pollutants.

The levels of POPs are so high in Chukotka that, even after factoring out smoking and alcohol, researchers found there was a relationship between high levels of POPs and a low birth weight, prematurity, miscarriages and chronic diseases in older women.

The levels of PCBs also affected the number of males or females born in Chukotka, with more female babies born to women with higher levels of PCBs. These female children are also subject to more negative health impacts.

Chukotka was by far the worst of four regions the report looked at. The region's death rate for indigenous peoples is more than twice the Russian average.

In Chukotka's capital city of Providenya, there is no treatment of sewage or waste water and industry spews out airborne pollutants.

Coastal residents of Chukotka are worse off than city dwellers because they consume a diet heavy in the fat and fermented meats of marine mammals. The fat of walrus and seal, as well as the organ meats, are loaded with contaminants.

To make matters worse, Yupik Inuit in Chukotka often use plastic pails that have stored pesticides to ferment meat or else they bury it outside in contaminated soil. The popular home-made alcoholic mash called "braga" is also a POP-laden soup.

The report looked at 1576 adults and 255 mother-child couples.

All of those with high levels of POPs in their blood were also found to live in houses full of PCB contamination, possibly from the tonnes of
PCBs Russia used to produce in the form of paints and varnishes that end up in the food and bodies of people who live there.

The surprise, said Kimstach, one of the reports authors, is that the levels of mercury were fairly low in Chukotka.

The good news is that pregnant women, who are often sent away from their communities to deliver, similar to expectant mothers in Nunavik, have lower levels of POPs because they eat less country foods when they're away from their home communities.

The report also found Chukotkans with higher incomes and more education have lower levels of POPs in their systems - possibly because they are able to afford store-bought food.

Dr. Larisa Abrutina is a Yupik physician who works with the Russian Association of Indigenous Peoples of the North and also contributed to the report. Despite the report's findings, she said it's still important for Inuit to eat country foods because of their cultural and nutritional value.

Abrutina suggests boiling traditional foods instead of fermenting them and avoiding organ meats and fat to reduce the load of contaminants.

The problem of stopping the flow of POPs to the Arctic regions is complex, she admits, because pesticides like DDT are still used in Africa to prevent malaria and the death of millions of people.

At the same time, Russia has not ratified the Stockholm Convention to reduce the production of POPs globally.

Russia's ratification of this deal will be a priority for the Russian Chairmanship of the Arctic Council.

The report, a joint project of RAIPON, the Global Environment Facility, the United Nations Environment Program and the Arctic Council's Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program also received support from the Inuit Circumpolar Conference.

Delaware River Oil Oozes, Mess Gets Murkier

Last week's spill was believed manageable. But the entire region is shaken as slick spreads, closing a nuclear plant and threatening wildlife.

By David Zucchino
LATimes Staff Writer

December 4, 2004

http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/asection/la-na-spill4dec04,1,6895417.story

NEWARK, Del. — Like a mutant blob in a bad horror movie, an oil slick first thought to be relatively small has grown bigger and more menacing over the past week, oozing its way down both banks of the Delaware River.

When the Greek tanker Athos I began leaking heavy Venezuelan crude into the river the night of Nov. 26, it appeared to be a manageable spill confined to a riverside terminal — just 30,000 gallons, according to estimates.

But authorities now warn that it could be as much as 473,500 gallons, a gooey mess that has spread to 70 miles of shoreline across three states.

Investigators are trying to determine whether a gash and a puncture in the ship's hull were caused by an 11-ton, 13-foot-wide propeller that fell off a dredge owned by the Army Corps of Engineers in April and was left on the river bottom.

The muck has killed birds, fish and turtles. It has shut down a nuclear plant and threatened a dozen freshwater streams and tributaries. It has slid past a pristine nature reserve and spread to within three miles of drinking water intakes for Philadelphia and southern New Jersey.

And it was still oozing Friday, leaving a 4-foot-high black smear along the stone seawall that keeps the Delaware from flooding Ft. Mifflin, a historic Revolutionary War battlement. Stiff sea winds spread a sharp chemical odor across the freshwater tidal marshes that straddle Interstate 95.

The spill is not exactly the Exxon Valdez, which dumped nearly 11 million gallons in Alaska in 1989, but it could be the worst on the Delaware, surpassing the 300,000 gallons spilled by a tanker in 1989.

And it has surprised and shaken a region where most people are only vaguely aware of the massive refineries that dot the uninhabited, low marshlands just south of Philadelphia.

Tankers deliver a million barrels of crude each day to the refineries that produce 70% of the gasoline sold in the Northeast, according to the local maritime exchange.

More than a thousand workers were along the river Friday, putting down 94,000 feet of boom, absorbent floating barriers used to contain the slick. Despite all efforts, the environmental and economic damages probably will be in the millions, authorities said. The Delaware Bay is home to thousands of migratory shorebirds and the world's largest population of horseshoe crabs.

"No matter how good the cleanup is, the damage is irreparable. This is a real catastrophe," said Maya van Rossum, a lawyer and environmentalist who calls herself the "Delaware Riverkeeper." For the last week, Van Rossum has stomped along creek beds and marshlands, taking photographs and documenting the effects of the spill.

The oil has spread from Pennsylvania and New Jersey past here in Newark, where on Friday staffers and volunteers at Tri-State Bird Rescue & Research Inc. were using diluted dishwashing liquid to dissolve oil from the feathers of ducks, Canada geese and seagulls — and from the shell of a single painted turtle. A pair of rare bald eagles smeared with oil had been spotted but not recovered by rescuers, van Rossum said.

"The oil burns their skin and eyes and destroys their feather structure — it's nasty stuff," Chris Motoyoshi, the rescue center's executive director, said as workers struggled to get a feeding solution down the throat of an uncooperative gull.

Shipping restrictions have been imposed on the Philadelphia port, the East Coast's leading destination for cocoa beans from Ivory Coast and for South American fruit — particularly grapes from Chile and bananas from Costa Rica. Ships were waiting Friday to be washed clean of oil before heading out to sea, with the delays costing tens of thousands of dollars a day.

Pleasure boats, some of them coated with oil, have been banned from the river. Hunting and fishing have been restricted along the Delaware's shoreline. Along the riverbank Friday, workers stacked plastic bags filled with oil-smeared junk and debris skimmed from the river.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which has placed oil snares on the river, said Friday that the spill ranges from "very light sheening to heavy oiling" along the 70-mile slick.

The 750-foot Athos I was carrying 14 million gallons of oil when it began leaking at an oil company dock. Authorities first said only 30,000 gallons had seeped out, but four days later the U.S. Coast Guard announced that 473,500 gallons were missing from the tanker. Divers found a 6-foot gash and a 2-foot puncture in the hull.

Officials now are trying to determine how much of the oil was trapped inside the ship's ballast and how much has leaked into the river.

The Athos I is a single-hulled tanker. Federal laws passed after the Exxon Valdez spill required single-hulled ships in the U.S. to be gradually replaced with double-hulled by 2015.

The tanker's operator, Tsakos Shipping and Trading of Athens, has said insurance would cover cleanup costs. Federal law limits owners' liability based on a ship's tonnage. In the case of the Athos I, the liability would be about $45 million.

After touring the riverbank this week, U.S. Sens. Jon Corzine and Frank R. Lautenberg, both New Jersey Democrats, said they would introduce a bill next week to abolish such liability caps for single-hulled ships.

The most obvious damage from the Delaware spill is environmental. At the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge near Philadelphia International Airport, the closing of the mouth of Darby Creek within hours of the spill prevented oil from reaching the low-lying refuge.

Even so, birds that had been soaked with oil in the river were still flying and landing in the refuge Friday. Workers separated birds that could be saved from those that were dying, sending the survivors south to the Tri-State Bird Rescue facility.

There, workers had set up an assembly line of five metal 10-gallon tubs filled with 103-degree water and diluted dish soap. Birds were moved from tub to tub after an initial examination by a veterinarian.

In each tub, workers used sponges, cotton swabs and squirt bottles to wash off the oil. The birds were given fluids to prevent dehydration and, in some cases, Pepto-Bismol to relieve gastro-intestinal distress caused by ingesting or breathing oil.

Oil destroys birds' delicate feather structure and waterproofing, the Tri-State Bird Rescue's Motoyoshi said. Some birds have died of hypothermia, she said, and others have died after sinking and drowning under the weight of the oil.

Since the spill, 86 birds have been brought to the center, including Canada geese, mallards, cormorants, herons, coots and seagulls. Of those, Motoyoshi said, 69 are still alive. The center is continuing to receive about 20 oil-coated birds a day.

Eine Mail, die uns erreichte und die auch an die Fraktionen der Parteien im Bundestag gesandt wurde

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren!

Wenn ein Betreiber eines Mobilfunknetzes einen Sender aufstellt hat - gegenüber, auf der anderen Straßenseite, auf der Höhe Ihrer Wohnung, vor Ihrem Schlafzimmer – wie könnten Sie sich wehren? Wer übernimmt die Kosten von Strahlenmessung und notwendiger Dämmung? Ist es nicht so, dass der "In Verkehr Bringer" haftet?

Als junger Mensch fühle ich mich den Interessen oligarchischer Strukturen schutzlos ausgeliefert. Man lässt mich mit den ersten Anzeichen gesundheitlicher Schädigung allein.

Was dem Menschen gut tut sollte im Mittelpunkt des gemeinschaftlichen Interesses stehen. Menschen, die Geld am Schaden anderer verdienen müssen von der Vertretung der Gemeinschaft in ihrem Handeln behindert und sanktioniert werden.

Darum wende ich mich an Sie. Haben Sie den Mut, die gesetzliche Grundlage hierfür zu schaffen! Die Reduzierung der zulässigen Richtwerte wäre ein erster Schritt in die richtige Richtung!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

V. M.

Special Buenos Aires COP 10 Coverage on the role of Genetically Engineered Trees and Global Warming
10 - 17 December 2004 from Global Justice Ecology Project http://www.globaljusticeecology.org/

The Earth's temperature is rising. Polar ice caps are melting. Global Climatic change is occurring. Something needs to be done and done fast.

Does this sound feasible to you ?

On October 22, 2004 Russia ratified the Kyoto Protocol, the international agreement created to begin addressing the problem of global warming. Russia's ratification of the Kyoto Protocol now gives the agreement a high enough level of participation by the countries most responsible for the world's carbon emissions for the agreement to go into effect, even without the United States' 25% of worldwide annual global carbon emissions.

Within days of Russia's announcement, carbon trading in Europe tripled. The carbon market is expected to be the world's largest ever, projected to reach US$60 billion by 2008. The carbon market is included as part of the Kyoto Protocol. It was created to enable corporations to buy the right to continue emitting carbon dioxide while purporting to address global warming-a valuable commodity indeed. The carbon credits are purchased from countries or corporations that have in some way reduced carbon emissions-by, for example, converting a coal burning plant to natural gas, or by planting trees to soak up carbon emissions.

Or does A Call For Peoples' Action Against Climate Change seem more feasible?

COP 10 will mark the 10th anniversary of the entry into force of the Framework Convention on Climate Change, which will serve as a central theme for the meeting. Discussions at COP 10 will highlight a range of climate-related issues including, the impacts of climate change and adaptation measures, mitigation policies and their impacts, and technology. Participants will also take stock of the entry into force of the Kyoto Protocol.


Industry's Push for Genetically Engineered Trees in Industrial Forestry Plantations

At the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change at COP 9 in Milan, Italy last December it was agreed that Genetically Engineered (GE) Trees could be used in carbon offset forestry plantations. Shortly thereafter, Global Justice Ecology Project came together with other forest protection advocates around the world to launch a campaign to demand the UN not only reverse that ill-informed decision, but go one step further and ban GE trees outright.

Environmental and Social Justice Groups Condemn Pro-GMO tree decision of UNFCCC

World Rainforest Movement (Uruguay), Friends of the Earth International, Global Justice Ecology Project (USA), a Mapuche scientist from Chile and the Union of Ecoforestry (Finland) gave a presentation yesterday at the Salon del Jardin Botanico in Buenos Aires Argentina where they condemned the 12/03 decision of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change to allow use of genetically engineered (GMO) trees in carbon offset forestry projects developed to supposedly mitigate global warming emissions.

"GMO trees present tremendous risks to both native forests and forest-dwelling peoples-especially indigenous peoples," said Ricardo Carrere of the World Rainforest Movement. "They will worsen the already severe impacts experienced by communities and ecosystems as a result of industrial tree plantations-impacts like loss of water, biodiversity, and traditional medicines and foods," he continued.

The UNFCCC made the decision in 2003 very late in the meeting, with no discussion about the negative impacts of GMO trees. "We are here to say that GMO trees are unacceptable in any context-this includes carbon offset forestry," stated Anne Petermann of Global Justice Ecology Project." The impacts of GMO trees will undoubtably result in devastation of native forests around the world, worsening global warming, rather than mitigating it. Not only must GMO trees be removed from the Kyoto Protocol, they need to be banned globally," she continued.

At the event, World Rainforest Movement and Friends of the Earth International released a new major report on GMO trees, entitled, "Genetically Modified Trees: The Ultimate Threat to Forests," written by Chris Lang and available in English and Spanish. In addition, Global Justice Ecology Project announced the upcoming release of a video on GMO trees entitled, "The Silent Forest: The Growing Threat of Genetically Engineered Trees," which will also be available in English and Spanish beginning in January, 2005. The video will be narrated by Dr. David Suzuki, a world-renowned geneticist who once ran the largest genetics laboratory in Canada.

There will also be a press conference denouncing the U.N.'s 2003 decision to include GMO trees in the Kyoto Protocol on Wed., December 15 at 11:00am at the La Rural Conference Center in the Aguaribay Room. The report will be presented and given to press, a promotional clip from the video will be shown and an international petition demanding a UN ban on GMO trees presented.

Press Conference Denounces

UN Promotion of Genetically Engineered Trees for Carbon Sinks
Buenos Aires, Argentina--A press conference was held this morning featuring presenters from World Rainforest Movement (Uruguay), FERN (U.K., Belgium), Global Justice Ecology Project (USA), a Mapuche scientist from Chile, and the Union of Ecoforestry (Finland) at La Rural, the site of the tenth Conference of the Parties of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. At this event the presenters addressed the Dec., 2003 decision of the UNFCCC to include genetically engineered (GE) trees in the Clean Development Mechanism of the Kyoto Protocol to supposedly mitigate carbon emissions.

GE trees present threats to both forests and communities. "Traits being engineered into trees include insect resistance, herbicide resistance, sterility and faster growth, among others," stated Anne Petermann, Co-Director of Global Justice Ecology Project. "If these traits escape into native forests, which is virtually guaranteed, it will lead to the destruction and contamination of native forests, which will worsen global warming," she continued.

Lorena Ojeda, a scientist with the Mapuche in Chile added, "already tree plantations in southern Chile are causing great environmental and social problems. We are especially concerned about the heavy pollination of pine plantations in Chile. This pollen causes serious allergies and other health problems in people who breathe it. It also contaminates the water. If this pollen is from genetically engineered trees, it will cause even more serious problems."

At the event, World Rainforest Movement and Friends of the Earth International released a new major report on GE trees, entitled, "Genetically Modified Trees: The Ultimate Threat to Forests," written by Chris Lang and available in English and Spanish. This report is available on their website at www.wrm.org.uy

Global Justice Ecology Project showed part of a video on GE trees entitled, "The Silent Forest: The Growing Threat of Genetically Engineered Trees," to be available in English and Spanish beginning in January, 2005. In the video, Dr. David Suzuki, a world-renowned geneticist who formerly ran the largest genetics lab in Canada, argues that because the science of biotechnology is so young, most of what we now know will turn out to be wrong. For this reason, he asserts, we must not rush into applying it, because we cannot predict the outcome. To request a copy of the video, contact Global Justice Ecology Project at http://www.globaljusticeecology.org

Chris Lang, author of the WRM and FOE International report states, "The UN is secretly promoting GE trees. The UN FAO and UNDP ran a project which promoted and funded the technology in China, where more than 1.5 million GE trees have been planted commercially, with no oversight whatsoever." He added, "I have repeatedly asked the UN FAO for information on their program and they refuse to respond. If these trees are so safe, why is there so much secrecy?" Yesterday, Global Justice Ecology Project and World Rainforest Movement met with over a dozen groups, social movements and NGOs from around the world to discuss implementation of an international campaign to ban the genetic engineering of trees globally.

Environmentalist repeats lies about LLRC - and says I have to keep on reminding myself I'm campaigning against nuclear power and not against Richard Bramhall and Chris Busby.

The November 2004 ENDS Report article "Gagging row overshadows radioactivity report ( http://www.endsreport.com ) is an account of the final stages of CERRIE.

It quotes Committee member Pete Roche (described as a "Greenpeace consultant") as saying that LLRC's Minority Report:-

...was not included [in the CERRIE final report] because it was not factually correct.

This is untrue. The Committee voted twice to include our material. The first vote was on March 31 2004, after members had seen the general nature of what we were saying. This was unanimous. The second vote was on May 19, after we had redrafted and after members had seen exactly what we were saying. The vote was 10:1 in favour of including our material. Only the BNFL rep. voted against.

Pete Roche was at both of these meetings. We know he had read our dissenting statement. Neither he nor anyone else identified any errors in it, and it has now been published as the CERRIE Minority Report.

We invite Mr. Roche to say what he thinks was factually incorrect.

We have put up with an awful lot of abuse like this but we have not responded on that level - it's the science that's important.

We now invite Mr. Roche to say what his position is on infant leukaemia after Chernobyl, which we presented to CERRIE as hard evidence that the risks of radioactive pollution are massively underestimated.

If Mr. Roche responds to these invitations we undertake to publish the correspondence on this site.

Elektrosmognews vom 05.12.2004

Die Rinder auf dem Hof der Familie Stengel sind Ende 1997 gesund, die Kälbernachzucht verläuft ohne Probleme. Dann wird neben dem Stengel-Hof ein Mobilfunkturm errichtet. Kurz darauf erkranken die ersten Kühe und die Nachzucht gerät ins Stocken. Die Blutbilder der Tiere ähneln denen von Krebspatienten mit Strahlentherapie, geben aber keinen Hinweis auf bekannte Krankheiten oder Haltungsfehler.

Die Bilanz bis Oktober 2004: 11 tote Kühe, 12 tote Kälber und 37 Fehlgeburten. Nur eine einzige Kuh aus dem Bestand von 1997 lebt heute noch.

Die Stengel's werden auf dem Schaden (50 000 Euro) voraussichtlich sitzen bleiben, denn bislang versandeten alle Hilferufe, auch die ans Bayerische Umweltministerium und an prominente Politiker. Dabei handelt es sich offenbar um keinen Einzelfall, sondern um ein Massenphänomen, denn der Petitionsausschuss des Deutschen Bundestags vertröstet mit dem Hinweis, wegen der "großen Anzahl sachgleicher Eingaben" verzögere sich die Bearbeitung! Alle Details über die Vorgänge am Stengel-Hof lesen Sie in unserer jüngsten Mobilfunkgeschichte:

Pressemitteilung IT-Mediaguide

Computermagazin CHIP berichtet über neue Studie

Mobilfunk-Anlagen: Starke Strahlung auch direkt unter der Antenne

München, 3. Dezember 2004 – Schlechte Nachricht für Immobilienbesitzer, die auf dem Dach ihres Hauses eine Mobilfunk-Antenne installieren ließen: Auch in Gebäuden direkt unter den Sendeanlagen können überraschend hohe Strahlungs-Immissionen auftreten. Dies ist eines der Ergebnisse einer seriösen Studie, die das Computermagazin CHIP in seiner neuen Ausgabe zitiert.

Die 117 Seiten starke Analyse der Immissionsverteilung wurde von der in Kamp-Linfort ansässigen IMST GmbH im Auftrag des Bundesamts für Strahlenschutz erstellt. Die Studie zielte darauf ab, typische Feldverteilungen praxisnah zu ermitteln. Die Autoren, Dr. Christian Bornkessel und Markus Schubert, kommen zu dem Schluss: „Als Ergebnis wurde festgestellt, dass die Immissionen im direkten Umfeld von Mobilfunk-Basisstationen einer großen Streubreite unterliegen.“ So unterschieden sich manche Messergebnisse in Gebäuden binnen weniger Meter um den Faktor 1.000. Wie es weiter heißt, sind viele, bisher als „klassisch“ geltende Regeln in Zweifel geraten: So sei die Leistungsflussdichte („Strahlung“) im Gebäude, auf dem eine Anlage steht, „zwar oft, aber nichts stets kleiner als an umliegenden Messpunkten“.

Bislang fühlten sich die Hauseigentümer auf der sicheren Seite: Experten betrachteten den Bereich unter Basisstation als relativ strahlungsarm. Denn die Antennen werden so ausgerichtet, dass ein „Leuchtturm-Effekt“ entsteht: Sie strahlen zur Seite ab, um ein möglichst großes Feld abzudecken; der Bereich unter der Sendeanlage sollte eigentlich im Funkschatten liegen – ein Irrglaube. In betroffenen öffentlichen Gebäuden wie Rathäusern, Sporthallen, Kirchen oder auch in Privathaushalten könnte die Studie also für Verunsicherung und Diskussionen sorgen.

Vertreter der Mobilfunk-Betreiber äußern sich in CHIP gelassen zu den Ergebnissen der Studie. Roland Kuntze, Pressesprecher von O2: „Klar kann unter der Antenne ein bisschen was rauskommen. Aber das liegt alles weit unter den deutschen Grenzwerten, die sich ja an den Empfehlungen der Weltgesundheitsorganisation orientieren.“

Omega siehe dazu „Grenzwerte und Mobilfunk“ unter:
http://omega.twoday.net/stories/242821/

Laut Ulf Stüwe, Projektleiter beim industrienahen „Informationszentrum Mobilfunk“ gibt es in Deutschland derzeit rund 60.000 Basisstationen. Für das UMTS-Netz sollen weitere 40.000 Antennen hinzukommen – und dann wäre erst eine Netzabdeckung von rund 50 Prozent gewährleistet. Gerade die kleinen UMTS-Anlagen zeigen dem CHIP-Bericht zufolge besonders ausgeprägte Nebeneffekte, die für die chaotische Feldverteilung mitverantwortlich sind. Dies könnte künftige Verhandlungen der Mobilfunk-Provider mit Vermietern erschweren.

Dear colleagues,

I almost never sign petitions but this one is rather a vote against the empire and its vassal states drafted by some good guys from Quebec.

This “petition” is a vote against the occupations of Iraq, against supporting dictatorships, against massive Human rights violations, against the US ecological fascism, its economic raiding for other countries, its neo-liberal version of globalization, etc.

In solidarity with those who suffer most under the US empire,

We tend to think of biometrics as being a recent technological marvel - iris scanning, facial recognition, fingerprint access - as seen on movies such as Tom Cruise's Minority Report and now in real life. But biometric technologies are possibly the oldest method of establishing identity. Fingerprints were used in Babylon as seals on clay tablets recording business deals. But biometrics is undergoing rapid and far-reaching developments, with big potential implications for how personal information is handled. Biometric measurement of faces, voices, signatures, gait and shapes are all in use today. The capacity for use or abuse of this to generate a sense of fear, invasion or loss is obvious. Not long ago I attended the 26th International Conference on Privacy and Personal Data Protection in Poland, attended by nearly 1000 government and business representatives. Biometric identification was one of the key sessions. Privacy issues raised by the use of biometrics included: monitoring from afar through facial recognition technology; movement tracking by electronic means; loss of anonymity in public spaces with video surveillance; the use of DNA beyond the purpose for its original collection; and use by both the private and public sector, encouraged by decreasing technology costs. ID theft is reported to be increasing all over the world and articles lately suggest it is becoming increasingly targeted by organised crime. Biometric identification may help to protect us from that but, conversely, if those technologies can be perverted to the use of crime, the results would be frightening.

So where does privacy fit in all this? Privacy is, of course, ultimately about individuals. Individuals are the building blocks of society. Each of us needs freely to form, develop and maintain our identity and sense of self; we need a personal safety zone to provide that freedom.

1,268 Killed in Iraq; Burials Increase at Arlington National Cemetery

After more than three years, and with two wars raging, President George Bush has failed to attend the funeral of a single soldier or Marine killed in battle in either Afghanistan or Iraq. The article below describes the funerals of a soldier and a Marine recently killed in Iraq. With the election over, Senator Edward Kennedy and Senator John Kerry attended the funeral of a Massachusetts Marine, Lance Cpl. Dimitrios Gavriel at Arlington National Cemetery.

Every vote should be counted fairly and transparently, as this promotes equality, liberty, and justice for all. Questionable partisan politics in Ohio prevent the counting of tens of thousands of legitimate votes. As some votes are slowly counted, the outcome of the Presidential election becomes more clouded. This partisan agenda in Ohio undermines the legitimacy of government, especially any claim to a mandate by the victor. Ohio now resembles Florida and the Ukraine.

Once again, the current administration attacks journalists, international aid groups, religious leaders, and others so that only U.S. government propaganda dominates the news. However, many witnesses to the widespread humanitarian crisis and explosive civil war in Iraq won't be silenced by U.S. government intimidation tactics, such as those used by the acting ambassador to the United Kingdom, David T. Johnson.

NEW GARDA RADIOS TO COST 100M [EUROS]

[By] Jamie Smyth, Technology Reporter

The Government is to install a new communications system for the Garda at a cost of up to 100 million [euros] over the next four years. The system will be a digital-trunked mobile radio - probably Tetra - which offers far more security than existing systems.

Based on digital rather than analogue technology, Tetra would offer the Garda a more reliable system which is less prone to gaps in network coverage. Tetra handsets are also more flexible than older radio receivers and can be used as two-way radios, mobile phones or data receivers.

The Minister for Justice, Mr. McDowell, said the capital allocation in the Budget for 2005-09 would enable the Garda to proceed with the roll-out of a digital radio system, which would be extended for use
by other emergency services.

A decision on the exact type of digital system to be installed is expected to be made shortly by the Department of Justice.

The decision to go ahead with a digital system follows years of delay over a funding shortfall and was welcomed by the Garda Representative Association yesterday. "We welcome this decision as it was a huge issue at our a.g.m. earlier this year when the current radio system was highlighted as a health and safety and security issue," a spokesman for the association said. "Gardai have been forced to use their own mobile phones rather than use the current radio system."

Perhaps the biggest problem with the current analogue radio system is that it can be scanned and messages intercepted easily by criminals. The Garda published a tender yesterday for the supply of Tetra terminal equipment.

A Call for decentralized, local actions around the world on J20


In Solidarity with the DAWN (DC Anti-War Network,
http://www.dawndc.net/) call for groups to converge from around the country and around the world to converge on DC, we call on those who cannot make the trip to DC to organize local actions in their own communities.

Why This Call to Action?

The empire can only function with the complicity of its populace, and the empire we face is global in nature. As a result, our resistance must be as global as the empire we are opposing. The war, neo-liberal economic policies, increased militarization and border controls, the manipulation of the media only for propaganda are faces of the empire that we are facing all over the world. We make this call because our opposition is not only about stopping the inauguration of one president, but about creating a world of dignity, freedom and equality for people all over the world who are currently being crushed under the boot of global capitalism.

We make this call in the spirit of many global calls to action that have come before us, in the spirit of an open invitation. This is an invitation to join in a global insurrection and absolute rejection of the U.S. policies of torture, disappearances without trial and preemptive war, which under the guise of legality and legitimacy threaten to spread around the world and endanger the freedom and safety of all people.

Our Rejection

We call on people around the U.S. and around the world to join in our rejection of the U.S. policies, but also in a rejection of illegitimate elections. Widespread election irregularities and the
systematic disenfranchisement of people of color have damaged any hope of a legitimate election in the United States.

Moreover, we reject an administration built on lies and illegal policies which violate not only the U.S. constitution, but violate the inherent dignity of the people of the U.S. and the people of the world.

We look to the traditions of Bolivia and Argentina who ousted their criminal presidents through non-violent mass mobilizations of people and we hope to do the same.

What Will J20 Look Like?

We call on the people of the empire to use their privilege of living within the empire to stop it from functioning on January 20th, 2005, the day that George W. Bush is to be inaugurated the next president of the U.S.

Together, we can stop the gears of global capitalism from turning. We call for actions across the U.S. and around the world which are focused on stopping the machinery of war and global capitalism. These actions include both mass mobilizations, street parties, Civil Disobedience and Direct Action as well as Assembleas Populares, Encuentros and other forms of real, direct democracy.

Alongside the bodies in the streets, we also call for networks of electronic civil disobedience, hacktivism, and tactical media to join in the struggle. Against the bio-electronic forms of empire dominating the conduits of capital, media, and everyday life, we make this call in the spirit of the Critical Art Ensemble, Conglomco, RTMArk, and all the radio pirates and Indymedia centers worldwide.

Who is making this call?

This call comes from that intersection of absolute militarism, indigenous resistance and the natural, organic movement of people that is known as the U.S. Mexico border. The call comes from a region which used to be part of Mexico, but is now known as San Diego, California. Living on the border, we have an influx of inspiration both from Seattle, San Francisco and Quebec City, but also from Chiapas, Buenos Aires and Cochabamba. We have seen both how war tears families apart as it sends our generation off to die and how occupation at home is very real and operates in our very neighborhoods.

We see hope in the People's Global Action hallmarks and we make this call under those hallmarks.

HALLMARKS:

1. A very clear rejection of capitalism, imperialism and feudalism; all trade agreements, institutions and governments that promote destructive globalisation;

2. We reject all forms and systems of domination and discrimination including, but not limited to, patriarchy, racism and religious fundamentalism of all creeds. We embrace the full dignity of all human beings.

3. A confrontational attitude, since we do not think that lobbying can have a major impact in such biased and undemocratic organisations, in which transnational capital is the only real policy-maker;

4. A call to direct action and civil disobedience, support for social movements' struggles, advocating forms of resistance which maximize respect for life and oppressed peoples' rights, as well as the construction of local alternatives to global capitalism;

5. An organisational philosophy based on decentralisation and autonomy.

Bush proposal cuts critical habitat

12/2/04
By CHUCK SCHULTZ

NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

The Bush administration wants to reduce by about 80 percent areas previously considered habitat critical to the recovery of threatened and endangered salmon and steelhead trout, including land on Vandenberg Air Force Base.

In a move that would largely undo safeguards adopted by the National Marine Fisheries Service in 2000, the administration proposed Tuesday to limit critical habitat protections to rivers and streams where those fish now thrive, not other areas where they once were prevalent.

Excluded from the new designation locally -- in addition to several miles of waterways on the military base -- are some tributaries of the Santa Ynez River, portions of the Santa Maria River on the base and certain streams in the Cuyama area, a federal official said Wednesday. The main channels of both North County rivers would be designated as critical, he added, except where they cross Vandenberg lands.

Environmentalists blasted the proposals as a huge setback to a 15-year effort to restore salmon and steelhead trout to thousands of miles of streams in California, Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

In response to a builders association lawsuit and related court rulings, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration agreed to reconsider critical habitat designations adopted in 2000 for 13 groups of salmon in the Northwest and seven in California that were listed as threatened or endangered.

Four years ago, the Marine Fisheries Service based its designations on the standard that critical habitat should provide for recovery, not just survival of a species -- and included rivers and streams accessible to salmon, even if no fish occupied them.

The new proposals, which more narrowly interpret the federal Endangered Species Act, will be the subject of public comments during the next six months before being made final next summer, officials said.

They were praised by the National Association of Home Builders, which sued the government and has been chafing under the costs of getting federal permits for development in wetlands. Courts have also said in a series of decisions in recent years that the federal
government must consider the economic cost of designating critical habitat.

Michael Mittelholzer, the builders association's director of environmental policy, praised the administration's approach for "trying to minimize the impact on industry in areas where there are low values to species and high economic costs."

The Marine Fisheries Service's critical habitat designations were withdrawn in 2002 after the association's lawsuit challenged an analysis finding no significant economic effects from those protections.

A local environmental spokesman asserted, however, that the new proposals emphasize costs while ignoring the benefits that critical habitat designations provide.

"Those analyses, in our view, are kind of cooked," said John Buse, senior staff attorney for the Environmental Defense Center of Santa Barbara. "They consider the costs but not the benefits."

He contended such designations are needed in more areas to protect the fish species in question. "I think the proposed deletion of that much important habitat is a setback to the steelhead recovery effort."

A new economic analysis found salmon protections cost the Northwest economy about $223 million a year, with no significant economic benefits. The figure for California was not immediately available.

Glen Spain of the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen's Associations said the economic analysis failed to take into account the economic benefits of a commercial fishing industry once worth $1 billion a year.

NOAA officials said the areas of critical habitat shrank through the use of maps with finer detail and by limiting the designation to good habitat actually occupied by salmon.

"It's a different-looking designation than the one we had in 2000, which was very general and vague," Craig Wingert, supervising fisheries biologist for NOAA's regional office in Long Beach, said Wednesday.

National security concerns, he added, weighed in the decision to exclude some military bases -- principally Vandenberg and Camp Pendleton in San Diego County -- from the designations.

Vandenberg officials could not be reached for comment.

"Yesterday, activists in 12 cities, including New York and San Francisco, unfurled banners and distributed leaflets at Victoria's Secret stores, a company official said."

Victoria's Secret focus of environmental group's ire over paper use
Dec 3, 2004 3:13AM

The Columbus Dispatch, Ohio

Dec. 3--How many trees does it take to produce 350 million Victoria's Secret catalogs each year?

Too many, says a California environmental group that organized protests yesterday in Columbus and other cities.

San Francisco-based ForestEthics says forests in the foothills of the
Canadian Rockies in Alberta are being destroyed to supply paper for
Victoria's Secret and other large catalog companies.

In October 2003, the group identified Victoria's Secret, a division of
Columbus-based Limited Brands, as the No. 3 catalog producer and in recent months stepped up a campaign against such paper use, which includes protests.

Yesterday, activists in 12 cities, including New York and San Francisco, unfurled banners and distributed leaflets at Victoria's Secret stores, a company official said. Kristi Chester Vance of ForestEthics said protests were planned in 100 cities.

In Columbus, private security guards halted a protest at Easton Town Center within a minute. A dozen protesters, mostly college students, regrouped at Morse Road, unfurling a banner that read, "Victoria's Dirty Secret: They Destroy Endangered Forests.' ForestEthics wants the company to boost the recycled paper content of its catalogs to 50 percent in five years.

Little recycled paper goes into the publications: 25 million clearance catalogs contain 10 percent recycled paper while the rest contain none.

Limited Brands spokesman Anthony Hebron said the company is working with its paper supplier, International Paper, and other potential suppliers to develop suitable paper with higher recycled content.

"We are doing some testing right now on how we're going to increase the percent of recycled content' in the catalogs, Hebron said.

He said clearance catalogs will contain 50 percent recycled paper by February and that the company wants to get paper containing 10 percent recycled content into its regular catalogs as soon as possible.

Hebron called the company a leader in waste reduction and paper recycling. Last year, it recycled 720 tons of office paper, 10,300 tons of cardboard and 410,000 pounds of alcohol-containing products.

"They need to look at our true record, and it's a pretty good one right now,' he said.

Hebron said recycling efforts predate a meeting in May between company officials and ForestEthics representatives.

Fallujah Residents Face Choice: Retina Scan and Take ID Card....Or Die?

http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/december2004/021204facechoice.htm
http://snipurl.com/b2tt


From Information Clearing House

by Dahr Jamail

Journalists and residents who have fled Fallujah share accounts of US troops killing unarmed and wounded people; Many refugees tell stories of having witnessed US troops killing already injured people, including former fighters and noncombatants alike.

http://207.44.245.159/article7413.htm

"After the Americans destroyed our village and killed many of us, we also lost our houses and have nothing to eat. However, we would have endured these miseries and even accepted them, if the Americans had not sentenced us all to death." Before the damage we inflict grows greater, before history's judgment gets worse, before we contaminate the whole world - even before we vote in the next election - we must stop what we're doing. We must stop now.

It's time to listen for a moment not to defense analysts briefing officers, pols or pundits, but to people like Jooma Khan, a grandfather who lives in a village in Laghman Province, in northeastern Afghanistan, who is quoted above. Surely he deserves 30 seconds of our undivided attention. "When I saw my deformed grandson," he told an interviewer in March of 2003, "I realized that my hopes of the future have vanished for good. (This is) different from the hopelessness of the Russian barbarism, even though at that time I lost my older son Shafiqullah. This time, however, I know we are part of the invisible genocide brought on us by America, a silent death from which I know we will not escape."

We're waging war-plus in Afghanistan and Iraq - in effect, nuclear war, with our widespread use of depleted-uranium-tipped shells and missiles. This is no secret. DU, with its extraordinary penetrating power and explode-on-impact capability, helps assure our military dominance everywhere we go. But people like Jooma Khan and his grandson reap its toxic legacy.

So, of course, do our own troops.

Kahn's words are only a sliver of the damning testimony contained in the documents of the International Criminal Tribunal for Afghanistan, a Japanese citizens' initiative that recently concluded its two-year inquiry into the first phase of the Bush Administration's war on terror. But they say everything that we cannot hear. If we could hear Jooma Khan, and others who are sounding the alarm about DU, such as former Livermore Labs geologist Leuren Moret, who testified at the tribunal, there would not be mere thousands of people in the streets of American cities demanding that we stop the war, but hundreds of thousands, or millions - the sort of numbers that turn out inother parts of the world.

The use of DU weaponry is not the extent of our criminalirresponsibility in Afghanistan and Iraq, which led to the tribunal's guilty verdict against George Bush on charges of war crimes, but it's the most chilling. (You can check out the full report at, among other places,
http://www.mindfully.org/Reform/2004/Afghanistan-Criminal-Tribunal10mar04.htm)

As Moret testified, depleted uranium turns into a infinitesimally fine dust after it explodes; individual particles are smaller than a virus or bacteria. And, "It is estimated that one millionth of a gram accumulating in a person's body would be fatal. There are no known methods of treatment."

And DU dust is everywhere. A minimum of 500 or 600 tons now litter Afghanistan, and several times that amount are spread across Iraq. In terms of global atmospheric pollution, we've already released the equivalent of 400,000 Nagasaki bombs, Moret said.The numbers are overwhelming, but the potential horrors only get worse. DU dust does more than wreak havoc on the immune systems of those who breathe or touch it; the substance also alters one's genetic code.

Thus, birth defects are way up in Afghanistan since the invasion: children "born with no eyes, no limbs, tumors protruding from their mouths ...deformed genitalia," according to the tribunal report. This ghastly toll on the unborn - on the future - has led investigators to coin the term "silent genocide" to describe the effects of this horrific weapon.

The Pentagon's response to such charges is denial, denial, denial. And the American media is its moral co-conspirator.

But blame is beside the point. Surely even those who still await "conclusive proof" that DU is the cause, or a factor, in the mystery illnesses and birth defects emanating from the war zones, can see the logic in halting its use now.

TAKE ACTION DEC. 10 – 13, 2004:

Defend the Recounts! Demand Election Reform!

PROTEST ELECTION VIOLATIONS IN STATE CAPITOLS: THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE VOTES ON 12/13

On Monday, December 13, the members of the Electoral College will meet in every state capitol to cast their votes to elect the President and Vice-President of the United States. We call on local groups to protest and make visible the many voting rights violations and election irregularities which call into question the integrity of the 2004 election – and to demand real reforms to protect, extend, and deepen democracy.

HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN DO:

1 - Organize protests in the days leading up to the Dec. 13 meeting of the Electoral College, and on December 13 itself:

* Demand that every vote be verified and counted in all states before the Electors cast their votes!

* Call for the implementation of the Voter Bill of Rights, which details eleven vital election reforms, including the abolition of the electoral college, a guarantee of a voter-verified paper trail for all voting machines, replacement of partisan oversight of elections with nonpartisan election commissions and prevention of lawless vote suppression and voter intimidation. Deliver the Voter Bill of Rights to your members of Congress and demand their support for these reforms.

2 - Contact your state’s Electors to see if you can convince one or more of them to join you at the protest to express their concerns about the state of our democracy. A list of your state’s Electors should be available on your state’s secretary of state website, or with your state’s election board.

3 - Alert local media, using the Electoral College vote as a news hook. We need to break through the media whitewash of the disenfranchisement, vote suppression and fraud that occurred in this election.

4 - List your protests events under “Directory of Local Actions” at http://www.Nov3.US.

This call to action is an initiative of the No Stolen Elections! Campaign and is endorsed by CODEPINK, United for Peace and Justice, 51 Capital March, and others. We are seeking national co-sponsors. If your national organization is willing to co-sponsor this call, please contact us at ben@nov3.us

NO STOLEN ELECTIONS!

"This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress." ~ Frederick Douglass, 1857

Jesse Jackson and Greg Palast

On Saturday, from 6pm-9pm EST, Rev. Jackson joins investigative reporter Greg Palast to ask what happened to nearly a quarter million votes, overwhelmingly from African-American precincts, not counted in Ohio.

For BBC Television, Palast uncovered the fake felon list that swiped the election in 2000; this year, his report on BBC television broke the story of the secret Republican "caging" lists that bent the November race.

The smell of Black ballots burning is hard to ignore. We need your help to continue this investigation into the votes not counted in Ohio, New Mexico and Florida. Behind the by-line "Greg Palast" in Harper's, The Nation and the Guardian is an investigative team that is now running perilously low on funding. While Greg Palast has donated 100% of his royalties from his bestseller, The Best Democracy Money Can Buy, to the effort, we're still in the red.

We're asking you to keep this investigation going by making a $50 tax-deductible donation to the Palast Investigative Fund ... in return we'll send you as a thank you, the blistering documentary, "Bush Family Fortunes" on DVD, signed by reporter Palast. The film is taken from Palast's award-winning investigate broadcasts for BBC Television - the story of the Bush-Bin Laden connection, the shoplift of the vote in Florida, the secret plans for "Operation Iraqi Liberation" and other reports that you can't see on your Fox-ified TV. Donate at http://www.gregpalast.com/store.htm Donate before December 10 and receive your signed DVD before Christmas via first class mail.

Catch the new flash animation from Bush Family Fortunes at http://www.gregpalast.com/bff-dvd.htm

This is the film Jesse Jackson says, "You must see." That Senator John Edwards calls "Important and disturbing." Katherine Harris says Palast's reporting is, "Twisted and maniacal." Maybe that's why Noam Chomsky says Palast, "Upsets all the right people."

From: The Santa Fe Research Roundtable

To: The Honorable United States Senator Jeff Bingaman
Suite 101
119 East Marcy
Santa Fe, NM 87501


Senator Bingaman -

It has come to our attention that there were a great deal of irregularities in the Ohio election this year. So much so that it appears that fraud may have taken place. It is clear to many of us that John Kerry may in fact be the elected President of the United States. Twelve members of the House Judiciary Committee have recently sent a letter to Ohio Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell stating that "...we are concerned that these complaints constitute a troubled portrait of a one-two punch that may well have altered and suppressed votes, particularly minority and Democratic votes.

First, it appears there were substantial irregularities in vote tallies. It is unclear whether these apparent errors were the result of machine malfunctions or fraud."

The full text of the complaint letter to Kenneth Blackwell is available by following this link:

http://www.house.gov/judiciary_democrats/ohblackwellltr12204.pdf

Anyone who sees Farhrenheit 911 will notice the striking unwillingness of any member of the Senate to support the multiple Congressperson's calls for investigation of the 2000 vote. Greg Palast's subsequent documentary "Bush Family Fortunes" provides credible evidence that voter roll purges engineered by Jeb Bush and Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris were flawed by malicious bureaucratic targeting of Democratic voters - disproportionately minority - whose names happened to be related to the names of felons from *other states*. Some of the voters who lost their right to vote in 2000 were still not on the rolls for this election. I will be happy to make a copy of either video available to you on DVD or VHS if you have not yet seen them.

We sincerely hope that we can count on you this year to support the multiple Senate Judiciary Committee members call for an investigation into the 2004 Ohio election. I am hereby requesting in writing a meeting with you in person at your Santa Fe office to discuss this issue with my colleagues from the Research Roundtable. We are a group of political activists who meet once a week to discuss issues of importance to today's progressives. It would give us great pleasure you speak with you directly about this matter to gauge your sense of the problem, your idea of solution, and to support you in your work to protect the American people.

I think Kerry has been dishonest when he said “every vote is going to be counted” (see 1). By now, he should have fully supported the Green and Libertarian Party presidential candidates in their lawsuits to count the votes in Ohio, Florida and several other states. There have been too many voting irregularities, and failures specially involving the e-voting machines, that a full recount or possibly re-vote is necessary in several states.

One would wonder where he is getting his orders from? Are they coming from organizations such as Council for National Policy or Council on Foreign Relations? These organizations determine who should be supported to become the US president, and they set US national and foreign policy (see 3).

Also, on Nov. 8, 2004, several members of congress wrote a follow up letter to the Comptroller at the US General Accountability Office (GAO), David Walker, asking for an investigation of the election, and to take IMMEDIATE ACTION in order to PRESERVE THE EVIDENCE!!! (see 2) WHY HAS HE NOT YET ACTED, to preserve the evidence and begin investigation?

I think eventually, if there is any doubt about who the real winner of the last election is, due to lack of recount, improper recount, or loss of evidence then the US comptroller at the GAO should be sued for aiding and abetting vote fraud.

EU-Fingerprints: der unwürdige Rahmen

Das EU-Parlament in der Defensive, von Rat und Kommission gemobbt, erpresst. Ein Plenarvotum mit Auflagen, an die sich der Ministerrat nicht halten wird. Unter diesen Umständen werden biometrische Erkennungsmerkmale für alle Bürger Europas verpflichtend eingeführt.


Mit Verabschiedung des Coelho-Berichts gab das EU-Parlament Widerstand gegen Fingerprints auf | Otmar Karas [ÖVP] über die Änderungen | Rat muss keine Auflagen des Parlaments berücksichtigen | England mit Ausnahme

Die große Zustimmung seitens der europäischen Konservativen und Sozialdemokraten zum Coelho-Report und damit indirekt zur verpflichtenden Speicherung von Fingerabdrücken im Pass wurde nicht zuletzt durch eine Reihe von Abänderungen erreicht.

Das "Ja" wurde unter der Auflage abgegeben, sagte Otmar Karas [ÖVP] am Donnerstag Nachmittag am Telefon, dass diese Daten nicht in einer zentralen Datenbank gespeichert werden dürften.

In Kraft wiederum könne eine entsprechende Verordnung erst dann treten, wenn die nationalen Datenschutzbeauftragten Rückmeldung gegeben hätten, dass sie über die nötigen Kontrollmöglichkeiten verfügten.

Man habe die sicherheitspolitischen Aspekte akzeptiert, so Karas im Resümee, ohne dabei den Datenschutz außer Acht zu lassen.

Die Zustimmung selbst geschah durch die Annahme des so genannten Coelho-Berichts. Die Formulierung "Mitgliedstaaten haben die Möglichkeit, auch Fingerabdrücke einzubeziehen" bedeutet nichts anderes, als dass man den einstimmig gefassten Beschluss der EU-Innenminister zur verpflichtenden Einführung von Fingerabdrücken zur Kenntnis nimmt.

Die Auflagen des Parlaments kann der Ministerrat nämlich berücksichtigen oder auch nicht. Das Parlament hat in dieser Angelegenheit nur das Pouvoir, beratend zu wirken.

Der Rat bereits im Vorfeld angekündigt, sich über alle Einwände gegen Fingerabdrücke hinwegzusetzen und diese auf jeden Fall einzuführen.

The article below represents a scandalous bombshell. A top Justice Department attorney disclosed in open court that our government will use use evidence obtained from prisoners by beating, starving, and torturing them. This means our government admits to discarding more than 200 years of the rule of law and progress towards human rights in favor of the rule of threats, force, and violence, thus marking a very significant decline in the direction of our country's moral values. As professional interrogators know, information obtained from torture is highly unreliable, and the torture can backfire on our captured soldiers.

Cancer on the Beat

TETRA, a new police communication system, is being linked to a cancer epidemic among both cops and civilians living near transmission masts. The government, meanwhile, is rolling out the system as if nothing is wrong.

By Jay Griffiths

“If people want to know how it feels to have your brother die in your arms, fighting for 48 hours for every breath, then I’ll tell them. It was a death you wouldn’t wish on your worst enemy.” Those are the words of Dr. Ian Dring, whose brother Neil, a police officer from the Leicester constabulary, died in agony of oesophageal cancer this summer. Neil, he said, was convinced that it was TETRA technology which caused his death. TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) is a new digital communication system for a national police radio network.

Dr. Ian Dring, himself a scientist, monitored his brother’s condition. “As soon as he started using TETRA, he got severe headaches. And the site of the tumour was where he mounted the handset.” Neil had none of the preconditions for oesophageal cancer; he was only 38, was a non-smoking, light-drinking triathlete with no stomach problems and whose diet was good. “To us,” said Dr. Dring, “that’s suspicious. And then another officer of similar age and equally healthy has been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in the Leicester force and in the same place.” Dring quotes the U.S. Cancer Society as saying that for a man under forty without preconditions, the incidence rate would be one in 100,000 and, they added, the chances of two people getting that kind of cancer simultaneously would be millions to one.

This is one tragic chapter in the staggering story of TETRA. A story which involves science being “perverted for political ends”; technology which is not properly tested; a company which openly confesses to taking no responsibility for the safety of what they produce; a whistleblower; a political scandal and a health scandal above all. And it involves you directly, if you live near a TETRA mast. And considering that at least 3,200 such masts will be erected in the UK, there will be one near you.

At Drumcarrow Hill in Fife, Scotland, a TETRA transmitter has been “live” since the late ‘90s. Only about two hundred people live around the mast but there are at least seven recent cases of cancer and five cases of Motor Neurone Disease diagnosed over the past five years (the normal yearly rate for diagnosis with MND is one person in 50,000 to 100,000). Scientist Dr Neil Cherry researched the potential health hazards of low frequency radiation: he died of MND in 2003, convinced he contracted it as a consequence of his long exposure. Research suggests MND as being potentially linked to TETRA technology. Other illnesses thought to be caused by long-term low level electromagnetic radiation include: depression; difficulty in concentration; neurological illnesses; headaches; fatigue; miscarriage; infertility; and a reduction in melatonin.

Brain-level Frequencies

The feature of TETRA that is considered potentially risky is that the modulated part of the signal comes in bursts with a frequency of 17.6Hz, close to the 16Hz at which the brain “loses” calcium (calcium efflux) and also within the frequencies used by the brain’s beta waves. The first warning over this came in the influential independent “Stewart Report” on mobile phones in 2000, which stated that frequencies around 16Hz “should be avoided, if possible.” Because of that caution, the National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) was commissioned to write a report on TETRA’s possible health effects in 2001. This report includes worrying statements such as this: studies “do not exclude the possibility of a risk of cancer that appears only after many years of exposure, nor of a hazard from RF radiation modulated specifically at around 16 Hz.”

The Police Federation commissioned independent research scientist Barrie Trower to write a report on the possible risks of TETRA, completed in September 2001. Trower was a courageous whistleblower. “I believe,” he says, “that the government, government scientists and this industry will be responsible for more civilian deaths in peacetime than all the terrorist organisations put together.” Dr. Gerard Hyland, expert in low level radiation and biophysicist from the International Institute of Biophysics, and a prominent TETRA critic, states: “With the TETRA roll-out, we could be seeing a pandemic of brain tumours in ten years.” Low frequency radiation, says Hyland, affects brain function and the blood/brain barrier and degrades the immune system.

When a TETRA mast was switched on in Dursley in Gloucestershire, people reported being “shocked awake” up to fifteen times a night; migraines; sleeplessness; nose bleeds, none of which they had routinely suffered before. At a school in Littlehampton, Sussex, eleven children had to be sent home from school on the day that a nearby TETRA mast was switched on, because they were ill with severe headaches, nosebleeds and dizziness. (Interestingly, residents did not know the mast had been switched on, so the children’s reaction could not have been psychosomatic.)

Low frequency electromagnetic and microwave radiation were identified in the 1960s as a potential anti-personnel weapon and the Pentagon has confirmed that it has developed microwave crowd control weapons. Can a system which is developed as weaponry be considered safe for the police and public?

Let’s ask those canniest of all arbiters of public safety. The insurance companies. Lloyds of London and Swiss Re have recommended to other insurance companies that exclusion clauses should be written against paying compensation for illnesses caused by exposure to continuous long-term low level radiation.

Some call it the Precautionary Principle. Some call it common sense. If something may have risks, and has not been proved safe, it must be assumed that it may be dangerous. Green MEP Jean Lambert has said: “Reports of TETRA being responsible for tumours, leukaemia, motor neurone disease and other cancers must be taken seriously... With risks like these the precautionary principle must apply.”

Clever in Hindsight

Astonishingly, the Home Office is rolling out TETRA nationwide without proper studies being done first: an act which is in Hyland’s words “totally irresponsible.” The NRPB admits: “No epidemiological study as yet has explored the risks associated with telecommunications systems such as TETRA which use RF radiation modulated at frequencies around 16Hz” and says that “Human volunteer studies should be carried out”. The Home Office last year commissioned a five million pound study from Imperial College, London, to study the effects on police officers – not volunteers – over a ten year period. The study will look at the effect of handsets (though not masts) and is being done while the system is already in use nationwide.

The TETRA handsets for the police are considered potentially dangerous because the handset is a brief but intense source of radiation close to your head. When the technology was first used in Lancashire, 177 police officers (out of 246 respondees to a questionnaire) reported symptoms including migraine, nausea, sleeplessness and lack of concentration. Norfolk Police have confirmed that six people including a chief inspector at North Walsham police station have become ill, with dizziness and headaches, since a mast on top of the station went live in late February/early March this year. Twenty five people living near the mast have reported similar illness.

In spite of people’s direct experience, the NRPB insists that TETRA is safe. The NRPB exists to regulate radiation and is half government-funded. Like many regulatory bodies, it has unhealthily close ties to the industry which it claims to regulate, and there are clear conflicts of interest.

Dr. Keith Baverstock, who was the World Health Organisation’s senior radiation adviser in Europe, addressed a conference on low-level radiation in July 2004, accusing the NRPB of “misusing” science (in studies of nuclear test veterans). He said science has been “perverted for political ends” by government agencies which should be protecting public health. Baverstock alleged a “serious flaw” in the NRPB’s methodology in these studies.

Skewed Standards

There is a yawning discrepancy between the NRPB and others over safe levels of this kind of radiation. If you compare the NRPB’s recommendations with others, in terms of miles per hour, it is as if in the UK an acceptable speed limit would be 2847mph while the EU recommends a limit of 9mph.

Why the difference? Crucially, the NRPB sets their standards only taking into account thermal effects. Dr. Hyland says: “That’s not the problem” – the non-thermal effect of radiation from TETRA handsets and masts “is far more serious.” (“Thermal effects” means that there is enough energy to heat tissue. “Non-thermal effects” means other effects on biological structure and the body’s communication systems.

The contract for TETRA was given by the Home Office to a consortium headed by BT. BT has since hived off the contract, called the "Airwave" contract, to 02 and their subsidiary mm02. One important component of the system is made by the US-based Motorola. 02’s response to public disquiet has been cavalier, saying: “The safety of what we supply is nothing to do with us.” The Home Office, meanwhile, is gung-ho for TETRA, although there is a similar system (TETRAPOL) which is both cheaper and “safer” than TETRA. But it is thought that the US government put pressure on the UK government to take the TETRA system, since TETRAPOL does not use Motorola components.

The industry dearly wants to sell the TETRA system to many countries around the world, and to do so seeks the endorsement of the British police force, seen as conservative, safety-conscious and well-equipped. For the industry, it is a kind of celebrity endorsement: a very cynical use of the police.

As I research this subject, I’m shown extracts of e-mails about TETRA from a Crime Scene Examiner in Lancashire which grow increasingly desperate over the weeks, describing how all but one member of their team “are suffering from symptoms ranging from headaches/toothache/neuralgia to high blood pressure and even a cancerous tumour in the throat...It is the tumour which has finally been the last straw...” This officer, says his colleague, had been “very pro TETRA radios – needless to say he’s changed his mind since finding out he has cancer.”

Then an e-mail arrives. The officer is now dead. As his colleague remarks: “We are a group of people who love our job and we are not 'trouble makers' – but we are genuine in our belief that these radios are killing us.”
