We've all seen the baby harp seal pictures -- adorable dark eyes staring out at us benevolently from pillowy white fur. But cruelty season is fast-approaching in Canada. Sign the petition: http://www.care2.com/go/z/21459

In a month's time, hunters armed with clubs and rifles will bludgeon and shoot to death hundreds of thousands of baby harp seals out on the ice floes of Eastern Canada. Shockingly, at least 95% of the seals killed will be less than three months old and more than 40% may be skinned alive.

Canada's seal hunt is the largest deliberate slaughter of marine mammals in the world. The government has set a legal quota of up to 319,500 seals this year. The seal pelts are served up to the fashion industry, with additional profits from meat, oil, and the sale of genitalia to Asian markets. But the killing of baby seals doesn't make sense economically or ecologically, nor is it sustainable.

The Canadian government wants the media and public to believe that no one cares about the innocent blood spilled each year. That's why we must create a public outcry!

Tell the Canadian Parliament that you DO CARE about the cruelty inflicted upon these seals and that the hunt is indefensible!

Last year a scientist called Dr Kerry Sieh actually warned the Indonesian Government that a tsunami was on the way. He even handed out brochures to villagers, showing them how to save themselves. The trouble is, no-one in authority took the slightest bit of notice.

DANGER

You may have noticed signs when you came into the hospital warning you to turn off your mobile phones. This is because the signal from your phone may interfere with equipment necessary for saving life. The County Hospital has allowed O2 Airwave to put a Tetra mast above the postnatal unit on the roof. This gives off a very powerful signal and according to a report commissioned by the Police Federation, the Trower report, some of the health effects are as follows: heart problems, blood problems, interference with bone marrow, tumours, increased arthritis, skin problems, ear problems, risk of leukaemia, childhood cancer, sleep problems, depression, memory loss, headaches, fatigue, miscarriage and infertility. Obviously the management of the hospital don't care about anyone's health and think it's alright to fry new born babies.

Peter Sitch O2 Airwave "We comply with government regulations. It may turn out that those guidelines are wrong but that's what we comply with. We're all going to die and environmental factors will have something to do with that, you cannot make anything in life absolutely safe."

If you think this is an outrage you could ring the hospital and ask to speak to the management on 696955 or ring the Argus or ring the union Unison covering the hospital on 01737733300.



Dear Garry,

I have emailed the info to Bill Randell of the Green Party and written the letter below to The Argus. I will try to think what else can be done later.

Sandi


Dear Sir,

Letter for publication please.

The leaflet below was brought to my attention as a committee member of Mast Sanity, a voluntary organization set up to help anyone with queries or problems about masts on a nation level.

I was appalled to see that this Airwave TETRA mast is sited at the hospital, and horrified that it should be on the roof above the post natal unit.

This form of microwave radiation, Airwave TETRA, is the most lethal in Europe, but even with other variations of this technology animals near masts can miscarry, or develop tumours, as research shows.

CATTLE

Of particular interest is a much cited study of cattle, Loescher & Kaes (1998), which when kept close to a base station, recorded reduced milk yields, emaciation, spontaneous abortions, abnormal behaviour patterns, conjunctivitis, heart failure and still births. When cattle were moved away from the base station, their condition and milk yields improved. The severe symptoms reappeared when the cattle were moved back to their original field beside the base station. The symptoms only appeared when microwave transmitters were added to an existing television transmitter. Loescher and Kaes also report the profound effects experienced by the farmer and his family since the microwave transmitters were installed. Similar cases of health effects induced by electromagnetic field exposure were cited. Loescher postulates that the effects are connected to changes in melatonin levels.

More recent reports by Barrie Trower, (Report on the Death of Officer Neil Dring), and G J Hyland (December 2003) have declared that TETRA is a real health risk.

Omega see:
TETRA: A Critical Overview into the death of Officer Neil Dring

I hope you will report the contents of this leaflet in full, or run a campaign so that those who are worried about it can voice their objections to the relevant parties concerned. This is about our children and their future and needs to be addressed.

If you cannot run a campaign, please direct people to Mast Sanity for assistance.

Please Distribute Widely

It has become increasingly clear that the Bush administration is intent on stopping Mexico's most popular politician, left-wing Mexico City governor Andres Manuel López Obrador, from entering his country's upcoming presidential election.

Al Giordano reports from Mexico today that while Condoleeza Rice and her ilk are piling on the drug-war rhetoric to justify U.S. government interference in the expression of democracy in its neighbor to the South, Mexico's two traditional, neoliberal parties are relentlessly continuing their attempts to use legal loopholes to disqualify López Obrador.

Giordano reports:

"A new kind of coup d'etat has been hatched to strip Mexico City's activist governor Andrés Manuel López Obrador – the country's most popular political leader according to all national public opinion polls – of his right to run for president in the July 2006 elections.

"This attempted coup became official policy the week that Condoleeza Rice took the helm of the U.S. State Department last month, and Washington's reliable puppets in two of Mexico's national political parties immediately jumped to implement the master's orders.

"López Obrador's opponents – domestic and foreign – fear that the leader of Mexico's electoral left wing will be unstoppable at the ballot box sixteen months from now.

And so forces accustomed to stealing and fixing elections for 75 years in this country have come to a last resort: A dirty plot to remove his name from the ballot."

However, both of these anti-democratic forces – the Bush administration and Mexico's traditional political parties – are about to run up against something potentially much more powerful then they: the will of the Mexican public.

Giordano describes a new movement, still being born, to stop this "soft coup d'etat" (as Zapatista subcomandante Marcos put it in a recent communique) before it destroys the country's chance at its first truly democratic election.

Giordano reports:

"Various national youth organizations, labor unions, and other networks recently met in Mexico City and launched a non-hierarchical, horizontal network of autonomous local groups.

Much in the style of Howard Dean's presidential campaign last year (and of the civil resistance in Venezuela that overturned, in 2002, a coup d'etat), it utilizes the Internet and cell phones as its weapons of communication.

Add to that mix that this movement will be independent of the López Obrador's PRD party, thus uncontrollable by any political force, and a potent political recipe is brewing from South of the Border".

See also today's related Narcosphere commentary by Bill Conroy about the continuing media campaign against Mexico by Washington and its press lackeys.
Conroy takes as an example a recent story in the Texas media claiming, with no basis whatsoever, that Mexican narco-traffickers are gearing up to blow up commercial airliners and assassinate President Fox and other Latin American politicians.

Such stories, Conroy concludes, are part of a deliberate strategy to neutralize the democratic rumblings on which Giordano reports.

Bush Cuts Hit Democratic States, Analysis Finds
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines05/0212-04.htm

Posted By: monk January 16, 2005

I Gave this info to my Boys 3 of which are Prime Draft Bait.

If you care Please Let any Girl or Boy 17 to 50 have this information on how to Not Volunteer for the Draft or National Service.

Tricking you is another way the Government Avoids that Pesky 13th Amendment No slavery nor involuntary servitude, Constitution Problem.

Now if only there was a "Pearl Harbor" type of event to really pull this nation together...

Oh wait they tried that already!!

NO DODGING ? JUST REFUSE TO VOLUNTEER? HERE?S HOW:

I hope that you will not be offended if I tell you HOW THE "DRAFT" works. I realize that most people THINK they know how it works, but in most cases they are in error! AND, you can avoid the worry when 'College and Canada will not be options [because] in December 2001, Canada and the U.S. signed a "smart border declaration," which could be used to keep would-be draft dodgers in.'

Being willing (and eager) to fight for one's country when it is truly in danger is one thing. Having the courage to refuse to fight in immoral and/or unconstitutional "wars" is quite another matter, I believe. ICE No need to "dodge" the ball if they're not allowed to hit you with it, if you merely 'take your stand' and refuse to VOLUNTEER!

1. Mr. A receives a "draft notice" and is told to report on a certain date to a certain place where he receives his physical and mental tests...then he is classified with a number indicating whether he is A1(first called)...all the way down to 4F(unfit for duty).

2. Mr. A is told that he is to report for "induction" into the military and to appear at a certain military base for that purpose on a date specified.

3. By "LAW" he must appear there...or a warrant for his arrest will be issued.

4. Assuming he reports as directed he will have another brief physical and tests and then is told to "line up on the yellow line (painted on the floor)

5. A Recruiting Officer will then tell all those "joining the army (or whatever) to take one step forward...(Oh, oh, THOSE WHO DID THIS JUST "VOLUNTEERED!"). This is done so that no one can "legally" claim they were "forced into involuntary servitude!" "RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND AND SWEAR ALLEGIANCE." (almost everyone does!...thinking it must be REQUIRED!): "I, (name) do solemnly swear that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the Constitution of the United States of America and will defend it against all enemies foreign and domestic, and will obey the orders of the President and the officers appointed over me, so help me God."

6. Those who "voluntarily" stepped forward CANNOT NOW CLAIM THEY WERE"DRAFTED"...they stepped forward voluntarily and took the Oath voluntarily!

7. Assume Mr. B was smarter than Mr. A and HE DID NOT STEP FORWARD AND THEREFORE DID NOT TAKE THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE. (the recruiter will probably say something like this: "what's the matter with you, don't you know what' step forward' means?" Mr. B responds, "sure I do, but I AM NOT VOLUNTEERING TO SERVE IN THE MILITARY...If you want me you must 'take me' against my will by force!"

8. All of those who "volunteered" will now be excused from the room...and the Mr. B will be cajoled with persuasive arguments...at first...then, when nothing works to change his mind he will be called names and insulted, possibly even assaulted by one or more military people present there as witnesses.

9.IF Mr. B does not weaken, stands his ground, eventually the tormentors will give up and have him arrested on some charge. However, there is NO lawful way that they can MAKE him go into the military...because of the Constitutional prohibition against "involuntary servitude"...which is why NO ONE IS TRULY EVER "DRAFTED" AND MUST BE "SEDUCED " INTO VOLUNTEERING!

D. R. Graham Ret. Sci. Instr. & Ret. Mil. Off'r, AUS



Repeat

7. Assume Mr. B was smarter than Mr. A and HE DID NOT STEP FORWARD AND THEREFORE DID NOT TAKE THE OATH OF ALLEGIANCE. (the recruiter will probably say something like this: "what's the matter with you, don't you know what 'step forward' means?" Mr. B responds, "sure I do, but I AM NOT VOLUNTEERING TO SERVE IN THE MILITARY...If you want me you must 'take me' against my will by force!"

8. All of those who "volunteered" will now be excused from the room...and the Mr.B will be cajoled with persuasive arguments...at first...then, when nothing works to change his mind he will be called names and insulted, possibly even assaulted by one or more military people present there as witnesses.

One thing to say at this point is what the cops are coached to say on the witness stand: "Am I ordered?"

If the recruiter says No, then obviously you're OK. If the recruiter says Yes, then "By what authority do you, a military officer, order me, a civilian?" If the recruiter says anything else, repeat the question until you get Yes or No.

If the recruiter says "I order you by the authority of the United States Government" then "Which clause of the Constitution gives you, a military officer, to order me, a civilian?"

Another thing to say is: "Am I free to go?" If the recruiter says Yes, then obviously leave. If the recruiter says No, then "Am I under arrest? Am I your prisoner? Am I kidnapped? If I'm not free, then what am I?" and again, keep repeating the question.

Another thing to say is: "I want an attorney."

Another thing to say is, of course, nothing at all. I think I would go with "Am I free to go?" because if you get to Yes, then you can leave and he would look bad ordering an arrest. If you ask the question three times and don't get a yes or no, then "Well I must be free to go, because I asked you three times and you won't tell me I'm not." Then I would slowly turn around and leave, and if he keeps trying to interact I would just keep repeating the question.

=== Here's an excerpt from a book:

The Army induction officer instructed the draftees to "take one step forward" as their names were called, and said that step would signify their induction into the Army. When reluctant Willie's name was called, he answered present, but did not step forward. After the ceremony, he went home instead of to camp.

When the MP's came for him, he went to court for a writ of habeas corpus to retain his freedom.

"The officer himself," Willie argued, "said the step forward is what would make me a soldier. As I didn't take the step, I'm still a civilian and the Army has no claim on me." Counsel for the Army replied"

The Army isn't being run by childish games. Willie and a hundred others appeared to be inducted, and he was inducted before the whole group as any fool there could plainly see."

Willie retained his civilian status. The court ruled that the draft law required some definite ceremony to transform a civilian into a soldier. As the Army decided to have one step forward constitute the ceremony, and Willie didn't take the step, he wasn't a soldier.

LONDON (AP) - Two people vomited, two wet their pants, another suffered signs of hypothermia - all for the cameras - after volunteering to spend 48 hours locked up in cages and subjected to sexual humiliation, forced nudity and sleep deprivation allegedly like prisoners at Guantanamo Bay.

Camp Delta, Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, Guantanamo, Cuba. (AP/File)

A British television station plans to air "The Guantanamo Guidebook,'' a program that recreates some alleged techniques used at the U.S. prison camp for terrorist suspects.

Channel 4 says it wants to make the public aware of such abuses, but a human rights group said Wednesday the program violates U.N. conventions banning torture and shouldn't be shown.

"Your program may have undesirable effects of acclimatizing the audience to the use of torture. The real issue is: how do we make an end to impunity for torturers,'' said Brita Sydhoff of the International Rehabilitation Council for Torture Victims in Denmark. The group represents 200 rehabilitation centers for torture victims.

The show's producers say they have recreated some of the milder forms of alleged abuse used at the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The methods used on seven volunteers included religious and sexual humiliation, forced nudity, sleep deprivation and extreme temperatures, Tim Carter, the show's producer and director, said Wednesday.

The volunteers were locked in a warehouse with cages, interrogation rooms and surveillance equipment for 48 hours. In the end, after getting sick or suffering symptoms of hypothermia, three of the seven volunteers quit before the 48 hours was over, Carter said.

"We made the program to show viewers how devastating even the milder techniques such as sleep deprivation and playing on personal phobias can be,'' said Carter, who made the program for the Twenty Twenty Television production company in London.

The Bush administration has denied using torture at the Guantanamo prison, where many of the 545 detainees are held without charge. However, some detainees have said they were wrongly imprisoned and allege mistreatment, including beatings, forced nudity and sexual humiliation.

Tom Wilner, a lawyer for 11 Kuwaiti prisoners, recently told The Associated Press that most of his clients falsely confessed to belonging to Afghanistan's ousted Taliban regime or the al-Qaida terror network as a way to stop alleged abuse.

Carter said many forms of purported abuse at Guantanamo have been publicly described by alleged victims, their lawyers and in memos and other documents released under the U.S. Freedom of Information Act.

A broadcast date for "The Guantanamo Guidebook'' has not been announced, but Yad Luthra, a spokesman for Channel 4 in London, said it is one of four programs dealing with torture planned for a one-week period in the next month.

Carter said TV stations in other countries have expressed interest in the show, but none has bought the rights.

The other programs include a documentary by Clive Stafford Smith, the first British lawyer allowed into Guantanamo, that explores the issue of whether torture ever works when used on alleged terrorism suspects.

Another by former BBC journalist Andrew Gilligan is about how the United States and other nations allegedly take terrorist suspects outside the country to torture them.

Gilligan resigned from the British Broadcasting Corp. after a senior judge, Lord Hutton, criticized his story in 2003 that alleged Prime Minister Tony Blair's office had "sexed up'' an intelligence dossier about Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction before the Iraq war.

The fourth Channel 4 documentary is about alleged torture in U.S. prisons.

BG: How tell the public about the effects of (DU) deadly uranium in US munitions?

Leuren Moret, nuclear scientist, February 2005:

I believe in the end that (even) you will comprehend that the amount of DU released into the atmosphere since 1991 is far more than my estimate. Whatever you or I think or differ about, the disaster is worse than we even know... but that tale will be told each year, each decade, each century. Humanity has changed the genome of the entire planet forever.

How can you help us present the disaster in a way that ordinary people can comprehend? Infant mortality is increasing globally for the first time in 41 years.

This planet is being turned into a death star.....

If those reading Leuren Moret's words above do not yet know about DU and its effects (birth defects in particular), I suggest you visit the Uranium Medical Research website http://www.umrc.net for a start.

Four years in the life of Bush's faith-based initiative

In the coming year, while secular organizations providing much-needed social services to the poor will likely need the Jaws of Life to pry money from the Bush Administration, faith-based organizations will be taking in money hand over fist. In 2003 alone, the administration handed out $1.17 billion in grants to religious organizations, and if the president has his way, individual states will soon be handing over hundreds of millions of dollars to faith-based organizations....

In case you missed it, Condi's Euro-tour was a complete flop. Far from being the “triumph” celebrated by FOX News, the trip was just another opportunity to parrot the belligerent policies of the Bush Administration to our former allies. Unlike her predecessor, Rice never deviates from the White House script she has painstakingly memorized. Powell, however lacking in candor, was known to diverge from the hard-right fanaticism of his superiors from time to time. That will never be said of Condi, who flatly refuses to engage in any impromptu conversation that might take her off message. The press coverage was nearly as abysmal as her lackluster diplomatic performance. Of the 1,200 or more articles entered on Google, at least half of them use the term “fence mending” to describe her trip. It's clear that the media had decided on a strategy for their coverage long before Rice had left Washington. The stories invariably shower praise on the Ice Princess for her magnanimous gesture of reconciliation. In fact, Rice has simply mastered the art of giving directives through a frigid grin. There was no sign of compromise whatsoever....

There is no evidence that mobile phones or phone masts are any risk to health. But the fact is that many people are increasingly concerned that it will eventually turn out their emissions do cause harm.

Omega this is not true that "There is no evidence that mobile phones or phone masts are any risk to health" see under: http://www.buergerwelle.de/body_science.html

Once again the Leicester Comedy Festival, which started in spectacular fashion last night, boasts a great line-up for an event which has become a Leicester institution.

This concern is clearly shared by Government adviser Sir William Stewart, who has warned that children under eight should not use mobile phones at all and that he does not favour masts being located near schools.

Now two schools in Leicester are trying to find ways out of long-term contracts so that they can get rid of masts on their sites.

We sympathise with their point of view and believe that there needs to be tighter controls on the location of phone masts in general.

While most schools do not have masts on their sites, a recent survey found that a third of schools in Leicester have one located nearby.

This is surely wrong given that Sir William has advised a "precautionary approach" over mobile phone technology in case it does ultimately turn out that there is a health effect.

As we have previously argued, existing planning rules on phone masts are inadequate.

There should be a set of regulations which follow the precautionary approach by setting out areas in which mobile phone masts should not be sited.

We owe it to our children to take steps to be cautious over this issue. This is not a hysterical over-reaction, but simply common sense.

To Barry Goldwater, the father of the modern conservative movement, government was a threat to individual liberty that needed to be beaten back into submission. To Ronald Reagan, government wasn't the solution, it was the problem. Now, the man who claims the mantle of those earlier conservatives, President Bush, is filling in the fine brushstrokes of a different vision of government for 21st-century America.

Welfare/warfare states such as today's America are distinguished by the ever-tightening grip the collective exercises over the course of their citizens' lives, as the expression goes, from the cradle to the grave. Such governments are also distinguished, of course, by their propensity to expend not only the interests and energies of their people in the pursuit of the goals of the governing class, but their very lives as well, as when hundreds of thousands of young men and women are put first in uniform and then in harm's way to fight wars and -- win or lose -- extend their masters' imperial reach at the cost of their blood...

As an illuminating consequence of the November elections, liberty-committed Americans, those who live by the founding principles of nonintervention, personal responsibility, and self-ownership, can clearly identify the Republican Party as their enemy. The Grand Old Party or if you prefer The Party of Lincoln has stepped forward to become the majority 'Party' of legislated imperialism, aggression, and servitude. Never again can the Republicans pretentiously carry the Torch of Liberty, and delude honorable Americans...

Seeing Pat [Buchanan] puncture the intellectual pretensions of the puffed-up Sharansky beats the best espresso as a morning tonic. But we never believed that democratist palaver in the first place. That's just for the rubes, the deluded GOP rank-and-file who have to believe in something as a Republican president defends federal entitlements, expands the power and scope of the federal government, and leads the charge against civil liberties previously treasured by conservatives. George W. Bush and his neoconservative advisors have no more intention of exporting democracy to, say, Uzbekistan, or Saudi Arabia, or any of the other nations of the Middle East, than the Devil has of going to church."

The first duty of any police state is to keep its victims from escaping. Some use concrete and barbed wire. Others, recognizing that mental escape is far more dangerous than physical escape, use methods like drug laws and censorship. Permitting subjects to imagine -- let alone write and produce stories of -- a future that doesn't include the Omnipotent State is intolerable, a clear step in the direction of cultural suicide (an escape route which the State routinely denies to individuals)...

Naila-Mobilfunkstudie
http://omega.twoday.net/stories/281505/

Das Handy macht krank!
http://omega.twoday.net/stories/2278974/

Sehr geehrter Herr Professor König,

das BfS, der Verfasser der Stellungnahme wurde leider nicht genannt, hat diverse Punkte aufgeführt, warum die Nailaer Arztstudie nicht repräsentativ ist. Auch die Wiederholung einer solchen Studie in anderen Orten lehnen Sie ab.

Die Nailaer Ärzte setzen sich - gemäß ihrem Berufsethos - für die Gesundheit der Bürger ein. Sie können deshalb nicht zusehen, wie sich im näheren Umkreis der Mobilfunksender die Krebsfälle verdoppeln und verdreifachen. Außerdem treten die Krebsfälle 8 Jahre früher auf, d.h. schlicht und einfach, dass ein Mensch, der z.B. mit 70 Jahren an einer anderen Krankheit stirbt und dessen schlafender Krebs erst mit 71 Jahren auftreten würde, keinerlei Krebsprobleme hat! Tritt der Krebs aber 8 Jahre früher auf, ist er mit 63 Jahren an Krebs erkrankt und stirbt eventuell bereits mit 64 Jahren!!

Können Sie oder die verantwortlichen Politiker die Verantwortung dafür tragen?? Sollen weiter zigtausend Bürger für die skrupellose Gewinnmaximierung Weniger erkranken und sterben?!? Nach Meinung von Herrn Dr. med. Gerd Oberfeld, der sich seit Jahren mit der Mobilfunkproblematik befasst, besteht sofortiger Handlungsbedarf. Er schätzt, dass bereits heute mehr Menschen durch Mobilfunk geschädigt werden oder zu Tode kommen, als durch Verkehrsunfälle oder Luftschadstoffe.

Prof. Dr. med. Karl Hecht: "Warum muss jedes Medikament akribisch den Nachweis führen, dass es nicht gesundheitsschädlich ist, aber von einer neuen Technologie wie Mobilfunk wird dies nicht verlangt"?

Wann endlich werden auch kritische Mobilfunkstudien anerkannt und entsprechende Aktionen zum Schutz der Bevölkerung von den verantwortlichen Stellen angeordnet??

Studien mit finanzieller und direkter oder indirekter fachlicher Beteiligung der Industrie sind keinen einzigen Cent wert!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Präsident Bush in Deutschland nicht willkommen

Der Parteivorstand der PDS hat die Mitglieder und Sympathisant/innen der Partei aufgerufen, die Kritik am politischen Kurs des wiedergewählten US-Präsidenten George W. Bush anlässlich seines Deutschland-Besuchs deutlich zu artikulieren und sich an den vielfältigen Aktionen unter dem Motto Not welcome, Mr. Bush! Für eine friedliche und soziale Welt zu beteiligen. Eine entsprechende Anzeigenschaltung der Friedensbewegung wird von der PDS unterstützt.

Dazu erklärt Wolfgang Gehrcke, außenpolitischer Sprecher:

US-Präsident Bush besucht am 23. Februar 2005 Deutschland. Er will, dass sich Europa stärker im Irak engagiert. Seine Botschaft ist keine Botschaft des Friedens und der Menschenrechte.

Nach dem Irak-Krieg, in dem bereits 100.000 Menschen ihr Leben verloren haben, wird nun der Iran militärisch bedroht. Die Welt steht vor der Gefahr neuer Kriege. Wir sagen: Mr. President - no war! Willkommen ist uns das Amerika der Friedensbewegung - Sie, Herr Präsident, sind mit dieser Politik in Deutschland unerwünscht.

Den Bundeskanzler unseres Landes fordern wir auf, klarzustellen:
* Deutschland wird sich im Irak militärisch nicht einmischen;
* Deutschland wird sich einem Krieg gegen den Iran widersetzen, seinen Einfluss in Europa und in der UNO dafür einsetzen, atomare Abrüstung auf die Tagesordnung zu setzen, damit der Griff zu Atomwaffen weltweit gestoppt wird.

Wir erwarten vom Kanzler unseres Landes, gegenüber dem US-Präsidenten darauf zu drängen, dass auch die Vereinigten Staaten Menschenrechte einhalten. Die Menschenrechtsverletzungen der USA unter der Bush-Regierung gehören auf die Tagesordnung der Gespräche. Gute Beziehungen zwischen Deutschland und den USA Ja - neue Kriege Nein, das ist die Botschaft der Friedensbewegung. An den Protesten der Friedensbewegung am 22. und 23. Februar wird sich die PDS beteiligen.



Not welcome, Mr. Bush!

Hier ist die neue Gestaltung des polnischen Briefes an den Papst vom 1. September 2004. Mein Brief, versandt mit der deutschen Post, gefaxt und gemailt, auch an die polnischen Zeitungen, hat weder zum Abbau der Mobilfunkanlagen noch zu einer Wende in der Haltung der kirchlichen Leitung geführt.

Im Gegenteil, die GSM-Mobilfunkstationen in den Kirchen werden mit UMTS nachgerüstet. Auch die aktuellen Berichte über den Aufenthalt des Papstes in der Poliklinik Agostino Gemelli beweisen, dass meine in polnisch verfassten Warnungen die Umgebung des Papstes nicht erreichten. Sie wurden ignoriert oder man versucht vielleicht den Papst durch dauerhafte Mobilfunkbestrahlung so los zu werden wie den Jassir Arafat.

Die Poliklinik Agostino Gemelli ist mit dem drahtlosen Wlan-System "the wireless Bedside Florence" ausgestattet. Für den verantwortlichen Prof. Musumeci war die Gesundheitsgefährdung durch die gepulsten, elektromagnetischen Felder wohl unbekannt, sonnst würde er bestimmt die zahlreichen Mobilfunksendeanlagen direkt über dem Zimmer des Papstes nicht erlauben oder ?

Offener Brief im Namen von Mobilfunkstrahlung-Geschädigten und Betroffenen aus Polen an Papst Johannes Paul II.

Heiliger Vater !

Wir bitten um Ihre Mithilfe!

Unsere Kirche in Polanica-Zdrój und hunderte Kirchen in Polen werden derzeit von der Mobilfunkindustrie in Basisstationen (BTS-s - Base Tranceiver Stations) umgebaut, sehen Sie z.B. die Zeichnung auf der Seite

http://iddd.de/umtsno/koscioly/kosciolwpolanicy.gif

sehen Sie die ständig wachsende Liste der umgebauten in Basisstationen Kirchen, zum Teil mit versteckten Mobilfunkanlagen an:

http://iddd.de/umtsno/kirchen.htm

Heiliger Vater,

wir wollen nicht in den Mobilfunk-Basisstationen, die in vier Himmelsrichtungen krebserregende, gepulste elektromagnetische Felder versenden, beten.

Trotz Bitten und Gebete, sind die Kircheneigentümer, die Prälaten ablehnend. Sie sind zu unseren Gegnern geworden. Man hat den Eindruck als würden sie lieber allein und ohne Gemeinde in ihrer Kirche unmittelbar unter den Mobilfunkanlagen leben wollen!

Lieber Papst, Sie als Kirchenoberhaupt können sich nicht immer wieder für die Verbrechen von Angestellten entschuldigen.

Woher diese Wörter und dieser Zorn?

Sie kommen von den Menschen, die von diesem Schicksal getroffen wurden:

Dreizehn Todesfälle in Brodnica, bis die Gläubigen den Probst zur Vertragskündigung gezwungen hatten.

Schwere Krankheiten in der Nähe des BTS-Turmes in Polanica-Zdrój (Altheide Bad)

75 Todesfälle im Umkreis von 150 Metern des Todesturms in Slupsk (Stolp)

Sehr arrogante Haltung z.B. des Prälaten in Swidnica (Schweidnitz)

Nach polnischen Zeitungsberichten existiert ein päpstliches Verbot aus dem Jahr 2002 zur Vermietung der Kirchen als Mobilfunkbasisstationen.

Ist das wahr?

Aufrechte wissenschaftliche Eliten haben zahlreiche Beweise der Schädlichkeit der dauerhaften Bestrahlung durch die gepulsten elektromagnetischen Felder an die Öffentlichkeit gebracht.

Bitte sehen Sie sich die Recherche russischer Studienergebnisse aus 1.500 Arbeiten von 1960 bis 1996 von Prof. Dr. med. Karl Hecht an. (im Auftrag des Bundesamtes für Telekommunikation, heute Regulierungsbehörde der BRD)

http://iddd.de/umtsno/profhecht.pdf

Sie beschreibt zahlreiche, tödliche Krankheiten in Folge von 2, -5, -10, -15-jähriger Dauerbestrahlung durch die elektromagnetischen, nicht gepulsten, also weniger gefährlichen Strahlen.

Bitte lenken Sie Ihre Aufmerksamkeit auf die Ergebnisse der Reflexstudie (Risk Evaluation of Potential Environmental Hazards From Low Energy Electromagnetic Field Exposure) von 12 wissenschaftlichen Instituten aus sieben europäischen Ländern im Auftrag der Europäischen Union. In dem sehr objektiven Verfahren - "Doppel-Blind-Studie" wurde eindeutig d.h. unabhängig reproduzierbar, unterhalb der geltenden Sicherheitsgrenzen eine gentoxische Wirkung der Mobilfunkstrahlung nachgewiesen (Doppel-DNA-Strangbrüche, die die Zelle nicht fehlerfrei repariert).

Vater unser geschehe, dass in den Kirchen nur die Liebe strahlt.

Um der Tatsache Rechnung zu tragen, dass die Mehrheit der Gläubigen in Polen keinen Internetzugang hat, im Namen von mehreren Tausend Betroffenen aus Slupsk, Brodnica, Swidnica, Polanica-Zdrój, Stara Lomnica, Warschau, Lodz, Rybnik u.a.

verbleibe ich

mit den besten Wünschen für Ihre Gesundheit und Ihr weiteres Wirken

Mobilfunkturm des Todes : 55 Tote in Slupsk (Stolp) in Polen und weitere 53 schwer Erkrankte

Gepulste hochfrequente elektromagnetische Felder erhöhen die Flüssigphase-Endozytose aufgrund der elektrischen Feldkomponente

Trotz intensiver Forschung liegen bisher keine allgemein akzeptierten Theorien über die Interaktionen zwischen elektromagnetischen Feldern (EMFs) und lebenden Zellen vor, wobei die aus Experimenten gewonnenen Daten oft widersprüchlich sind. Die Autoren dieser Studie untersuchten die Auswirkungen der EMFs von Mobiletelefonen (gepulste Frequenz 217 Hz, Trägerfrequenz 900 MHz und Impulsdauer 580) oder deren reine niederfrequente, gepulste elektrische Feldkomponente auf die Flüssigphase-Endozytose.

In beiden Fällen hatten sie bei einer länger als 10 Minuten andauernden Exposition eine erhöhte Flüssigphase-Endozytose bei drei verschiedenen Zelltypen beobachtet (ca. 1,5-fach erhöht). In der Studie wurde gezeigt, dass die elektrische Komponente dieser EMFs für die beobachtete Erhöhung verantwortlich ist, während Veränderungen der Frequenz und der Impulsdauer ohne Folgen blieben. So kann EMF aufgrund seiner elektrischen Komponente die grundlegenden physiologischen Funktionen der Zell-Endozytose beeinflussen.

Mobiltelefon-Emissionen beeinflussen im Laborversuch Enzyme

Elektrosmognews vom 13.02.2005

Für diese Studie isolierten italienische Forscher Enzyme aus dem zentralen Nervensystems des mit elektrischen Organen ausgestatteten Zitteraals und untersuchten, ob diese auf die elektromagnetischen Felder von GSM-Mobiltelefonen reagierten. Dabei fanden sie bei einer SAR von 0,51 W/kg und einer kürzeren Einwirkungsdauer von 1 - 10 Minuten keine Veränderung, wohl aber bei 20 Minuten, die zudem dauerhaft war.

Der Vorsitzende der russischen Gesundheitsbehörden, Gennadi Onishenko, veröffentlichte in der Rossiskaya Gazetta, einem Medium der Regierung, Forschungsergebnisse, nach denen Mobiltelefone besonders für Kinder schädlich seien. Er sagte: „...wenn ein Kind nur zwei Minuten lang ein Mobiltelefon benutzt, bleiben die bioelektrischen Aktivitäten des Kindes zwei Stunden lang instabil“.

Darüber hinaus hätten ungarische Forschungsergebnisse gezeigt, dass der Gebrauch eines Mobiltelefons in der Jugend das Risiko erhöht, später an einem Hirntumor zu erkranken. Ebenfalls fügte er hinzu, dass Mobiltelefone Schlaflosigkeit, Gedächtnisverlust sowie hohen Blutdruck verursachen könnten, und dass das Tragen der Geräte am Körper gesundheitlich bedenklich sei. Er empfiehlt, dass Kinder, schwangere Frauen und Autofahrer mit Herzschrittmachern keine Mobiltelefone nutzen sollten.

Bamberg, Februar 2005

Pressemitteilung

Beobachtungen eindeutig - Mobilfunk ist gesundheitsschädlich

Enormer internationaler Zulauf bei Mobilfunk-Symposium in Bamberg - Ärzte-Initiative fordert Stopp für Netzausbau und niedrigere Grenzwerte

Dringenden Handlungsbedarf betonten die Veranstalter und Referenten des 1. Bamberger Mobilfunk-Symposiums, das an der Universität Bamberg stattfand. Der Andrang von Ärzten, Journalisten und teilnehmenden Interessierten hatte alle Erwartungen übertroffen. Über 400 Personen kamen bis aus Norddeutschland und Österreich, aber sogar aus Schweden, Frankreich, Belgien, Luxemburg und der Schweiz in die oberfränkische Universitätsstadt.

Es war die erste große mobilfunkkritische Fachveranstaltung in Deutschland zu der Frage, welche Gesundheitsschäden Mobilfunk verursachen kann. Das Symposium wurde auch vom Hese-Projekt unterstützt. "Die große Resonanz zeigt, wie viele Menschen bereits heute Beschwerden durch Mobilfunk haben, wie dringend sie Hilfe brauchen, wie sehr sich Ärzte und Patienten in dieser Situation allein gelassen sehen", so das Resümee der Mitorganisatorin, der praktischen Ärztin Dr. Cornelia Waldmann-Selsam. Sie hatte zusammen mit 130 Kollegen aus Bamberg und Umgebung im Sommer 2004 den "Bamberger Mobilfunk-Appell" initiiert, der bundesweit durch die Presse ging. Die Ärzte warnen vor den Gefahren der durch Mobilfunk entstehenden elektromagnetischen Felder, fordern einen Ausbaustopp für das Mobilfunknetz und eine Senkung der gesetzlichen Grenzwerte.

Dies waren auch die Hauptforderungen der Redner bei dem ganztägigen Symposium. Dr. med. Gerd Oberfeld, als Referent für Gesundheit und Umweltmedizin bei der Salzburger Landesregierung tätig, zog einen historischen Vergleich: Vor 150 Jahren habe man in London festgestellt, dass sich in der Nähe von bestimmten Brunnen schwere Durchfallerkrankungen mit Todesfolge häuften. Daraufhin habe man die Brunnen gesperrt – und tatsächlich seien die Infektionen sofort zurückgegangen. Erst 30 Jahre später habe Robert Koch den verantwortlichen Choleraerreger entdeckt und danach habe es noch einmal 70 Jahre gedauert, bis man den genauen Wirkmechanismus verstand. "Wir sind heute in der Beobachtungsphase", so Oberfelds Parallele, "wir erkennen, dass es Krankheiten durch Mobilfunk gibt, wenn auch die genauen Kausalzusammenhänge noch nicht klar sind. Aber bisher tun wir nichts, sondern warten nur weiter ab, bis wir alles bis ins letzte Detail erforscht haben und erklären können." Seiner Meinung nach besteht aber sofortiger Handlungsbedarf. Er schätzt, dass bereits heute mehr Menschen durch Mobilfunk geschädigt werden oder gar zu Tode kommen, als durch Verkehrsunfälle oder Luftschadstoffe. Das Vorsorgeprinzip, nach dem Behörden und Politik handeln sollen, sahen auch andere Symposiumsredner völlig außer Acht gelassen.

Prof. Dr. med. Karl Hecht, emeritierter Professor der Humboldt-Universität und seit Jahrzehnten mit dem Thema befasst, fragte: " Warum muss jedes Medikament akribisch den Nachweis führen, dass es nicht gesundheitsschädlich ist, aber von einer neuen Technologie wie Mobilfunk wird dies nicht verlangt?"

Die Beobachtungen von Dr. med. Reinhold Jandrisovits aus Müllendorf (Österreich) zeigten, dass unverzüglich Untersuchungen an den Standorten erfolgen müssen, wo die Menschen bereits krank sind. Er praktiziert als einziger Allgemeinarzt in dem Ort mit 1200 Einwohnern und stellte eine drastische Zunahme von Ohrgeräuschen, Hörstürzen, Schlafstörungen und Tumoren fest.

Auch der Ingenieur für Baubiologie und Umweltmesstechnik, Dr. Martin H. Virnich, hält die bestehenden gesetzlichen Grenzwerte für unzureichend, weil diese sich nur auf die Wärmewirkung beziehen und andere Auswirkungen auf den menschlichen Körper unbeachtet lassen. Er kritisierte den aufgeputschten sozialen Wert der Mobilfunktechnologie. "Mit Unsummen für Marketing und Werbung suggeriert die Industrie vor allem jungen Leuten, Telefonieren mit Handy oder Schnurlostelefonen bedeute Freiheit und Modernität."

Der Einfluss der Industrie auf Politik, Behörden, aber auch die Ärzteschaft selbst ist nach Ansicht der Experten enorm. Erst vor ein paar Jahren habe Bundeskanzler Schröder selbst - gedrängt von Mobilfunk-Lobbyisten – den Vorstoß des Umweltministeriums gestoppt, die gesetzlichen Grenzwerte zu senken. Seither sei die Politik in Stillstand erstarrt. Auch im "Deutschen Ärzteblatt", dem Organ der Ärzteschaft, werde bisher kaum über das Thema berichtet. "Information und Aufklärung der Ärzte sind nicht ausreichend", stellte der Bamberger Allgemeinarzt und Mitorganisator des Symposiums Dr. Helmut Heyn fest, "in der Ausbildung spielt Mobilfunk noch keine Rolle und eine Kommunikation unter den Ärzten fand bisher noch nicht statt."

Dem hat nach Hoffnung der Veranstalter das 1. Bamberger Mobilfunksymposium nun eine Ende gemacht. "Wir Ärzte vor Ort müssen zusammen mit den Patienten die Politik und die Verantwortlichen aufrütteln", so Dr. med. Cornelia Waldmann-Selsams Ziel. Ein erstes Angebot kam bereits, wenn auch nicht aus Deutschland, so doch von der Universität Bern: Man will zusammen mit Hausärzten eine sogenannte epidemiologische Studie organisieren, d.h. die Reaktion von Menschen auf Mobilfunk wird nicht unter Laborbedingungen untersucht, sondern sie werden in ihrem alltäglichen Umfeld über längere Zeit medizinisch begleitet. Im Auftrag des Schweizerischen Bundesamtes für Gesundheit werden in einer Studie die Erfahrungen der Hausärzte mit Patienten, die unter elektromagnetischen Feldern leiden, erfasst.. "Das fordern wir auch in Deutschland: Wir müssen dort forschen, wo die Menschen tatsächlich krank werden."

Möglicherweise sind die Mobilfunkkritiker auch hierzulande bereits einen Schritt weiter gekommen. Dr.. Axel Böttger, im Bundesumweltministerium als Referatsleiter für Strahlenschutz zuständig, besuchte erst vor wenigen Wochen die Bamberger Ärzte-Initiative und einige ihrer Patienten. Er sagte zu, dass die Bamberger Krankheitsdokumentationen Grundlage für eine Expertenrunde sein sollen, die demnächst in Berlin anberaumt wird.

Auf einer eigenen Homepage - die sich derzeit noch im Aufbau befindet - werden die Symposiums-Vorträge in Kürze abrufbar sein:

Under pressure to detail an exit strategy for Iraq, President George W. Bush said at a White House briefing today that he would not designate an exact timetable for a withdrawal of U.S. troops but added, "The fastest way to bring the troops home would be through Iran."

After reporters audibly gasped, the president explained that bringing the troops home through Iran would be "the most direct route" and produced driving directions from Mapquest to back up his claim... Read the rest at:

I loved Harry Reid's response to the Republican attacks in his DSCC fundraising appeal. He said:

"All this week, you've been hearing about how the Republicans are launching cheap personal attacks against me despite George Bush's hollow promises of bipartisanship. Don't worry about me. In case you didn't know it, I'm a former boxer, and I am prepared to fight back--hard--against the dishonest attacks and stand up for our core Democratic values."

CLAIMS BY doctors that they have found the first proof of health problems caused by mobile phones should be a “wake-up call” to the potential dangers of the national TETRA police communications system, a north-east Fife campaigner said yesterday.

Peat Inn woman Catherine Gamba, who has been at the forefront of local concerns about an alleged ill-health cluster around phone masts at Drumcarrow Hill, near St Andrews, said the claim by doctors that up to 5% of the population could be suffering headaches, mood swings and hearing problems caused by radiation from phone handsets was “extremely worrying” and was similar to symptoms associated with TETRA.

She said, “It’s time the National Radiological Protection Board, who provide Government guidance, took a lead on this. The amount of people suffering needs to be dealt with. This is now a huge health problem which needs urgent action.”

Experts are advising people, especially children, to limit their use of mobile phones if they experience headaches or other symptoms.

The research, announced yesterday by the Irish Doctors Environmental Association (IDEA), was carried out on 16 people who had complained of symptoms from using mobile phones and were particularly sensitive to electromagnetic radiation.

The 16 were studied over several months. They were examined by doctors, filled in detailed questionnaires charting their use of mobile phones, and underwent medical tests including blood and liver analysis.

It was found 13 suffered symptoms including nausea, headaches and dizziness, which researchers believe are a clear indication of radiation.

Chairman of IDEA Dr Philip Michael said, “This is causing disabilities in a large section of the population.

“We are working on funding for a far larger study which will use blind testing to prove beyond doubt that mobile phones are responsible, but we believe the evidence is now overwhelming.

“These problems can get very difficult to deal with—we had one person in our study who was basically confined to their house because of the symptoms.”

He advised anyone suffering from the symptoms the study describes to limit the time they spend on their mobile, and to try to stay away from mobile phone masts.

The research was this week presented to a select committee of Irish MPs, who, it is hoped, will back plans for further research.

Other experts in the field said they were not surprised by the results of the study. Dr Michael Maier of Imperial College said more research was needed, adding, “There is so much anecdotal evidence I think more findings along these lines are inevitable.

“The biggest problem is that it is hard to measure any effects as people use their phones so differently.

“But the brain is an electrical instrument, and the frequency of radiation produced is very close to that used in the brain, so it’s no big surprise to find a phone is interfering with that frequency, causing headaches and other problems.”

Last month experts advising the Government warned that children under eight should not be given mobile phones because of the potential health risks.

That study, by the National Radiological Protection Board, found no firm conclusion could be reached on the impact of mobile phones.

The TETRA (Terrestrial Trunked Radio) police communications is being used by police forces across the country. The secure digital communications system is replacing analogue radios and is said to bring great benefits to the work of police officers.

Despite assurances from the NRPB and Home Office that there is no evidence of danger, and whilst acknowledging that research is continuing, reports of ill-health from a small number of officers already using the handsets in England persist, while many communities are concerned about the siting of TETRA masts.

As with mobile phones, scientific opinion has been divided on safety issues. In Fife, 22 masts are now in place and switched on for testing.

THE possibility of taking mobile phone masts off Formby High School roof will be debated at tonight's (Thursday) area committee meeting.

Orange and T-Mobile have masts at the Freshfield Road school.

Complex legal disputes over the council's right to the land means that, despite the first mast going up 13 years ago, both agreements have never been finalised.

Designs for a skate park in Duke Street park will also be discussed at the area committee meeting.

Following the agreement of the proposals, Sefton Council will ask those who will be using the park to put forward their ideas of how best to spend the £50,000 budget.

* Formby Area Committee meets at the Park Road Professional Development Centre on Thursday, February 10, at 7pm. Residents are invited to ask questions, raise matters, or present petitions on issues relevant to Sefton Council.

A Father fears a proposed mobile phone mast could seriously damage his five-year-old son's health.

James Hill, 35, is worried about the impact O2 antennas will have on Aaron as his bedroom is situated 20ft away from the planned site.

The oil worker from Cove is planning to write to the company to object to its proposals to install equipment on a floodlight pylon at Cove Rangers FC's ground on Loirston Road.

But the company said the pole already accommodates redundant Vodafone omni-antennas and was the best site in the area.

It has now invited nearby householders to respond to a pre-application survey before approaching Aberdeen City Council planners.

Mr Hill added: "I am really concerned for my son's health especially after watching a documentary about mobile phones on television the other night.

"It has not been proven they cause health problems or not but people are genuinely concerned at the rate they are going up."

He also criticised the company for the limited number of households they had notified of their plans.

But local councillor Kate Dean said O2 had done more than enough.

"They have contacted more people than they are statutory supposed to if its a planning application," she said.

Cove and Altens Community Council are due to discuss the issue at its annual meeting at the end of the month.

Chairman Andy Finlayson said he was concerned the 14-day deadline for submitting representations to O2 was not long enough. He added that the organisation will be asking the company what alternative sites it has considered.

Ken Leitch, regional communications manager for O2, said the company was obliged, under instruction of the Scottish Executive, to look at existing structures to erect masts.

He said: "This is the reason the site has been chosen. We have been working with Aberdeen City Council to identify the most suitable site."

16:30 - 12 February 2005

Two schools are fighting to get rid of mobile phone masts in their grounds over fears that they are not safe.

Fullhurst Community College and Eyres Monsell Primary both receive around £2,500 a year from Orange for having an antennae on their premises.

But headteachers at both schools are trying to find a way out of complicated long-term contracts - because of fears that the masts pose a health risk.

In all, four schools in Leicester are being paid for having masts. The other two are Beaumont Leys School and Lancaster Boys' School, neither of which have any plans to remove them.

Last month Government adviser Sir William Stewart warned that children under eight should not use mobile phones at all and he "did not favour" mobile phone masts being situated near schools.

City council leader Ross Wilmott today said introducing a ban on masts within school premises should be investigated.

Fullhurst Community College, in Imperial Avenue, Braunstone, has about four years left on its contract with Orange.

Headteacher Bill Morris said the mast was already at the school when he joined in 2001 and he was desperate to take it down.

He said: "If we could get rid of the mast tomorrow then we would, but it is not as clear cut as that.

"We received an application about 18 months ago to have the lease extended but the governors rejected it on the grounds of health and safety concerns.

"What we have been trying to do ever since that application is to fight a legal battle about the terms of the original contract, which we want to terminate."

Eyres Monsell Primary School, in Simmins Crescent, has at least two years left on its contract with Orange.

Headteacher Sally Morrison said: "Although it does bring much-needed cash into the school, it is a moral issue and I believe it should not be in school grounds.

"We've tried to get out of the contract in the past but have been told it is very difficult by our legal advisers. If it is at all possible in the future, then we will try again to get it removed."

Since 2000, the county council has had a policy of not allowing masts on school sites, and any previously in place have been removed, but this is not the case in the city.

City council leader Ross Willmott said: "We will be calling for a report into what we ought to be doing in light of concerns expressed by many people."

Today the contractors defended the decision to have the masts up at schools in the city.

Inigo Wilson, a spokesman for Orange, said that the company had no plans to remove the masts from schools.

He said: "All the masts transmit nearly horizontally.

"What this means it that the one place you will get no radiation from the phone mast is underneath it. Because they offer little or no radiation to the pupils below, they are a useful source of revenue at the schools.

"Removing them is not practical because the operator may look for a site nearby which may be a few hundred yards away, which could lead to a greater risk."

When asked about school's not being able to end contracts Mr Wilson said he could not comment on individual cases but added: "It all depends on whether there are break clauses in the contracts. If not they have to run to the end."

Parents of children at the schools are unhappy about the masts.

Rachel Smith's eight-year-old son Kasey Taylor goes to Eyres Monsell Primary School.

She said: "The mast is in the centre of the playground and all the children play around it. It's dangerous."

Tina Nutt, who has three sons at Lancaster Boys', said: "I would like to see the school get rid of it."

A recent survey also revealed nearly one third of all schools in Leicester have a mast sited nearby.

Betr.: Gesundheitsgefährdung durch gepulste Mobilfunkstrahlung - Ergebnisse der Rinderstudie – Schweigen der Verantwortlichen

Bezug: unser Brief vom 02.01.01
Ihre Antwort vom15.02.01
unsere Antwort vom 24.02.01


Sehr geehrter Herr Minister,

nach dem äußerst unbefriedigenden Ausgang unseres letzten Briefwechsels (siehe oben) haben wir uns lange überlegt, ob es überhaupt Sinn macht, nochmals auf die Angelegenheit zurückzukommen. Sie schreiben zwar immer wieder, „dass die Bayerische Staatsregierung die Zweifel und Ängste zum Thema Mobilfunk überaus ernst nimmt“, aber Ihre konkreten Reaktionen sehen anders aus: Sie antworten einfach nicht mehr und lassen die Bürger mit ihren Sorgen allein.

Was sollen die Bürger von einer Wissenschaft halten, die sagt, sie findet keine ursächlichen Zusammenhänge zwischen Mobilfunkstrahlung und Gesundheitsstörungen, wenn viele Menschen am eigenen Leib spüren, dass ihre Beschwerden deutlich zurückgehen, wenn sie sich aus der massiven Strahlenbelastung entfernen? Muss sich die Realität dem wissenschaftlichen Kenntnisstand anpassen oder sollte die Wissenschaft nicht eher demütig sagen, sie weiß hier momentan nicht weiter, anstatt kategorisch zu behaupten, es gäbe „im Ergebnis keine wissenschaftlich belastbaren Hinweise dafür, dass die Strahlung von Mobilfunksendern in der Umgebung außerhalb des Sicherheitsabstandes zu gesundheitlichen Beeinträchtigungen führt“? Und was sollen die Bürger von einer Politik halten, die das Vorsorgeprinzip so interpretiert, dass Forschung ausreicht, obwohl Feuer unterm Dach und dringender Handlungsbedarf gegeben ist? – Wenn in der Geschichte der Menschheit die Verantwortlichen sich ebenso unverantwortlich verhalten hätten mit dem Hinweis, man wisse nicht die Ursache für Pest, Cholera, Typhus oder andere tödliche Epidemien, wäre die Menschheit vielleicht ausgestorben. Früher wurde auf Verdacht gehandelt, um Schlimmeres zu verhüten – heute gibt es offensichtlich keine Verantwortlichen mehr.

Aber zurück zur Bayerischen Rinderstudie: In Ihrem Antwortschreiben vom 15.02.01 verwiesen Sie für weitere Details auf die Auftragnehmer der Studie. Herr Prof.Löscher von der Tierärztlichen Hochschule Hannover hat in der Monatsschrift „Der praktische Tierarzt“ vom November 2003 sehr deutlich gegen die offizielle abwiegelnde Haltung Ihres Ministeriums Stellung bezogen: „Zusammenfassend bedarf die Frage, ob und unter welchen Umständen die erhöhte Exposition von landwirtschaftlichen Nutztieren in hochfrequenten elektromagnetischen Feldern von Mobilfunksendeanlagen negative Auswirkungen auf Gesundheit, Leistung oder Verhalten ausübt, der weiteren wissenschaftlichen Untersuchung. Nach Einschätzung des Autors lassen die bisher vorliegenden Fallberichte und Untersuchungen den Schluss zu, dass derartige Auswirkungen wahrscheinlich sind, die expositions- und bestandsspezifischen Faktoren, die derartige Auswirkungen begünstigen, aber bisher weitestgehend unbekannt sind. Die Aufklärung dieser Faktoren könnte dazu beitragen, die möglichen Risiken elektromagnetischer Feldexposition zu minimieren und sollte deshalb sowohl im Interesse der Politik, der Gesundheitsbehörden als auch der Mobilfunkindustrie liegen.“

Nun ist bekannt geworden, dass auf einem weiteren Bauernhof, diesmal im Donauried, ein rätselhaftes Rindersterben stattfand (siehe Anhang), ebenso wie in der Rinderstudie nach Installation von Mobilfunksendern. Auch hier das gleiche Bild, Schweigen bei den Verantwortlichen: „Doch bekomme ich seit nunmehr knapp 2 Jahren (vom Bayerischen Umweltministerium) auf meine Briefe keine Antwort mehr. Das Dilemma wird totgeschwiegen. Von politischer Seite erhoffen wir uns keine Hilfe mehr.“ „Auch das Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz, Bundeskanzler Gerhard Schröder, Umweltminister Jürgen Trittin und den bayerischen Ministerpräsidenten Edmund Stoiber haben wir um Stellungnahme gebeten. … Zur Bekräftigung unseres Hilferufs wiesen wir auf die vielen tierärztlichen Untersuchungsergebnisse hin, die den Adressaten vorlägen. Doch leider blieben bis heute alle erhofften Stellungnahmen von verantwortlicher Stelle aus.“

Wir meinen, die Öffentlichkeit hat ein massives Interesse, zu erfahren, wie die Blutwerte der Rinder sind, wie die Blutwerte sich mit veränderter Strahlungsstärke verhalten und wie der Gesundheitszustand der Rinder war.

Tiere können nicht simulieren. Auf dem Stengel-Hof wie auch in Schnaitsee hat sich der Gesundheitszustand der Rinder, die aus der Strahlungszone auf einen anderen Hof gebracht worden sind, deutlich gebessert und erst wieder verschlechtert, nachdem sie zurück in die Strahlung gebracht wurden. Doch dies interessiert weder die Wissenschaft noch die verantwortlichen Politiker.

Wir fordern Sie, Herr Dr. Schnappauf, deshalb auch unter Hinweis auf das Umweltinformationsgesetz auf, die von Ihren Mitarbeitern festgestellten Befunde und Messwerte vom Stengel-Hof vollständig zu veröffentlichen, auch die Ergebnisse der Untersuchungen des Amtstierarztes, der beim Landwirt Altenweger in Schnaitsee tätig war.

Insbesondere sind wir daran interessiert, den zeitlichen Zusammenhang von Blutbildwerten, allgemeinem Gesundheitszustand und Strahlungsbelastung (unterschieden nach Mobilfunkfeldern und anderen Strahlungsquellen) zu erfahren.

Für eine baldige Antwort bedanken wir uns im Voraus und verbleiben mit freundlichen Grüßen

The short story: FOX News reporters Jane Akre and Steve Wilson wrote a story on health risks associated with the use of synthetic bovine growth hormone in cattle. Monsanto, which makes the hormone, pressured FOX News to change the story to conceal the health issues, and FOX ordered Jane and Steve to change the story. They refused and FOX fired them. Jane and Steve sued for wrongful termination and LOST on appeal when the court ruled that there is no law requiring the mainstream media to report the truth to the public, and that therefore FOX News (and every other network) has the right to fire any reporter who refuses orders to lie.

Keep in mind that this is the same mainstream media that told you there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

Keep in mind that this is the same mainstream media that counts and reports the national election results.

Unconvinced by reassurances on safety, they want alternative sites away from residential areas and schools to be investigated. And some have called for in-depth, independent probes to prove that the new generation masts do not cause any health problems. Their concerns are mounting as the numbers of installations to keep pace with advances in technology rise.

The Environment Department is being urged to ensure that installations are in safe, practical areas where the health of the community will be protected.

Residents who live in and near Le Vauquiedor Clos, St Andrew’s, and Les Hubits, St Martin’s, are the latest publicly to voice their disapproval. Despite 48 masts being found in a recent audit to comply with international safety emissions standards, residents are worried about the health risks and visual impact of masts planned near their homes.

Residents claimed they had documentary evidence showing that 68 masts were up and running on the island. St Andrew’s residents are worried about a proposed 15ft high mast with round dish and three antennae above a water tank at the States Dairy.

‘Why put it close to a built-up area when there is land nearby?,’ said Mike Cooper, a Le Vauquiedor resident for 40 years. ‘They might be within the guidelines and okay today, but how do you know what they will be like from one day to the next?’ he said.

Residents, who have made representations to two deputies, claimed they had been informed that Wave Telecom had told their men that when their equipment readings near masts go above a certain level they must back off. It is also claimed people should not go within 5.7m of the antennae when operational.

‘We can’t back off. Our Clos is raised above the Vauquiedor road level and will be level with the mast,’ said Mr Cooper. ‘Why are they putting it in the middle of the dairy site, right on top of the workers?

‘It’s the principle of new science being introduced and people being assured that these things are okay. If you have cancer or trouble with your brain or some other illness which is proved to be linked, it’s too late,’ said Mr Cooper.

In St Martin’s neighbours object to a 17-metre mast planned next to the milking parlour at Les Hubits Farm and one on top of St Martin’s Hotel. ‘My concerns are for people’s health and for the cattle. Les Hubits Farm is one of the largest farms on the island and it could have an effect island-wide,’ said Joan Rouget, speaking on behalf of Les Hubits neighbours.

‘The masts will be directly across the road from where I live and we will be stuck in between two. ‘We want them to prove to us they don’t cause problems.’ She said that legal action on masts could be taken against authorities that give permission and mobile phone companies.

South-east district deputy Bill Bell said: ‘My role is to ensure that their views are fully considered by the Environment Department when they are considering applications. They have to do a thorough job to satisfy themselves that the concerns of the community are fully considered.’ ‘There are clear concerns about these new generation masts,’ he said. ‘The local community want to ensure they are located in safe positions away from residential areas and the dairy does not fall into that category.’

The OUR has proposed that the power of a mast at the airport be reduced and that has been done. The latest local report warned that improvements should be made to the systems currently in place. Access to all masts should be suitably restricted and signs should be clear and prominent.

Residents ‘up in arms’ over phone mast plan

by Tom Bradshaw

A PLAN to put up a 50ft telecoms mast in St Martin’s has aroused concerns about health risks and property devaluation.

The Wave Telecom development, intended for Les Hubits Farm, is facing significant opposition from neighbours. ‘There has been a lot of evidence collated in the UK and the rest of Europe to suggest that such masts could bring cancer or leukaemia to those in the immediate proximity,’ said Joan Rouget, whose home in Les Traudes overlooks the proposed site.

‘It’s not 100%, but there is enough evidence to cause concern.’ She added that the radiation might affect the milking herd, which would have island-wide implications.

Wave Telecom managing director Tim Ringsdore said the company took such concerns very seriously and tried to allay residents’ fears. ‘Scientific research has shown that risks presented by mobile-phone sites are negligible,’ he said. ‘We continue to monitor all research being published to ensure everything we do complies with the strictest health guidelines.’ He added that Environmental Health Services had ratified every proposed installation. The application is pending a site-safety investigation. ‘I am confident the reports will come out in our favour and underline our responsible approach to these matters,’ said Mr Ringsdore. But Mrs Rouget was not convinced. ‘Just admitting there is no proof of ill effect is not good enough – what they should be doing is providing concrete evidence that they are safe.’ She added that neighbours felt betrayed by farm owner Jeremy Le Cocq offering his land for the development. Mr Le Cocq declined to comment.

‘We are not against masts, as mobile phones are vital in our society, but we are against the positioning of them so close to the homes of children and their families,’ she said. The proposed site would put the mast within 100 metres of Richard Crook’s property, the former Cloche Hotel site in Les Traudes.

‘It will dominate the view out of the living areas of our house, which is bound to have implications for the value of the property,’ he said. Mrs Rouget referred to a national newspaper article that told of a woman whose £400,000 house was devalued by £50,000 following the building of a similar-sized mast near it.

Mr Crook went to the Environment Department to study the plans and consulted the duty planning officer. He said he was happy with the proposed design, which was unimposing, but was concerned about the potential for it to be extended. ‘The initial mast looks set to be well disguised as a plain telegraph pole, but the planning officer admitted that companies wanting to put up additional aerials or antennae on the island would be encouraged to share the facility,’ he said. ‘This means it has the potential to become more and more of an eyesore over time.’

Mrs Rouget said the opposition was not confined to her lane. ‘The mast will have a visual impact and health implications across a wide area and I know a lot of people in the extended neighbourhood are up in arms.’ She produced a letter from an anonymous resident, delivered to every house in the area to drum up support for opposing the construction.
