You probably didn’t notice, but February 20 was Nonviolent Resistance Day. One might think this would be cause for celebration by an administration committed to expanding freedom and democracy. But there weren’t any special ceremonies at the White House or resolutions in Congress. For despite all the rhetoric lauding freedom and democracy, the U.S. government has rarely supported, and has often opposed, nonviolent movements working for democratic change.

Nonviolent action campaigns have been a part of political life for millennia, challenging abuses by authorities, spearheading social reforms, and protesting militarism and discrimination. In recent years, however, there has been an increase in movements that have not only led to significant political and social reforms advancing the cause of human rights but have even toppled repressive regimes from power and forced leaders to change the very nature of their governance. In more recent decades, nonviolence has become a more deliberate tool for social change, evolving from an ad hoc strategy associated with religious or ethical principles into a reflective, even institutionalized, method of struggle.

Indeed, the past 20 years have witnessed a remarkable upsurge in nonviolent insurrections against autocratic rulers. Primarily nonviolent “people power” movements have overthrown authoritarian regimes in nearly two dozen countries over the past two and a half decades, have forced substantial reforms in even more countries, and have seriously challenged other despots.

In contrast to armed struggles, these nonviolent insurrections are movements of organized popular resistance to government authority, and they--either consciously or by necessity--eschew the use of weapons of modern warfare. Unlike conventional political movements, nonviolent campaigns usually employ tactics outside the mainstream political processes of electioneering and lobbying. Tactics may include strikes, boycotts, mass demonstrations, the popular contestation of public space, tax refusal, destruction of symbols of government authority (such as official identification cards), refusal to obey official orders (such as curfew restrictions), and the creation of alternative institutions for political legitimacy and social organization.

"Tragische und grausame Ungerechtigkeit": Entwicklungsverband und Herbert Grönemeyer starten weltweite Aktion gegen Armut (31.03.05)

Nach Auffassung des entwicklungspolitischen Verbandes "Venro" können die so genannten "Millenniumsziele" zwar grundsätzlich ereicht werden. Diese Ziele würden jedoch zur Zeit viel zu wenig engagiert angegangen. Mit der Millenniumserklärung der Vereinten Nationen im Jahr 2000 versprachen die Regierungschefs der Welt die Halbierung der weltweiten Armut bis 2015. Wird das gegenwärtige Tempo beibehalten, dann werde Afrika das Ziel der Armutshalbierung jedoch nicht im Jahr 2015, sondern erst im Jahr 2147 erreichen, schreibt der Verband. Da das Thema Armutsbekämpfung im Jahr 2005 sowohl beim G8-Gipfel in Schottland im Juli und vor allem beim UN-Gipfel im September prominent auf der Tagesordnung stünde, sei 2005 "ein Schlüsseljahr", heißt es dort weiter. Jetzt startete der Verband in Deutschland die internationale Kampagne "Global Call to Action Against Poverty" zur Einhaltung der versprochenen Ziele. Venro hat prominente Unterstützung. Der Musiker Herbert Grönemeyer äußerte die Befürchtung, dass Deutschland aufgrund seiner eigenen sozialen Situation versuchen könnte "sich aus den Verpflichtungen herauszuschleichen". Er habe vor, dies gemeinsam mit anderen Künstlern zu verhindern. Venro empfiehlt, unter anderem mit Kerosinsteuer und "Tobin Tax" neue Gelder für die Entwicklungshilfe aufzubringen.

Vorsorgeprinzip und Risikowahrnehmung des Mobilfunks

Schütz, Holger; Wiedemann, Peter
Korrespondenzautor: Dipl.-Päd. Holger Schütz, Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH, Programmgruppe Mensch, Umwelt, Technik, 52425 Jülich; E-Mail: h.schuetz@fz-juelich.de

Zum Kommentar der beiden für das Jülicher Forschungszentrum tätigen „Umweltexperten“ schreibt ein der HLV-Redaktion bekannter seriöser Kritiker:

"Die von mir fett hervorgehobenen Sätze in der unten wiedergegebenen Information über eine Arbeit der Herren Schütz und Wiedemann passen gut zum Forschungszentrum Jülich. Nach dieser Logik hätten wohl die potentiell Betroffenen der Erdbeben-Katastrophe in Südasien nicht "vorsorglich" informiert werden sollen (zudem fehlt auch dort die wiss. Erklärung i.S. eines "Wirkungsmodells")! Der plötzliche Aktionismus im Kampf gegen den Feinstaub vor allem aus Dieselmotoren wirft ebenfalls ein bezeichnendes Licht auf solche Erwägungen und erinnert mich an das Zitat, das von Schopenhauer sein soll:

Jede Wahrheit durchläuft drei Stufen:

Erst erscheint sie lächerlich,

dann wird sie bekämpft,

schließlich ist sie selbstverständlich."


„Die Ergebnisse von zwei Experimenten deuten allerdings darauf hin, dass Vorsorgemaßnahmen die Besorgnis über EMF verstärken sowie Vertrauen in den Gesundheitsschutz verringern können. Dies sollte bei Entscheidungen über Vorsorgemaßnahmen berücksichtigt werden.“

The world we live in is too dangerous to confirm John Bolton's nomination to be Ambassador to the United Nations. That's why we're asking you to oppose the nomination.
http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=10078448&url_num=2&url=http://www.2020vision.org/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=532

We live in a world where internation cooperation and coalition building is crucial to our success in building a more peaceful world. 20/20 Vision believes that peace is a goal we must pursue as a nation. In that context, if we were to put together a list of the worst possible attitudes for the United States to project to the world, what would they be?

That question is more than idle speculation. In the nomination of John Bolton to the post of Ambassador to the United Nations, many of those attitudes are represented. Consider the following quotes, all taken from interviews with the nominee:

* "If I were redoing the Security Council today, I'd have one permanent member because that's the real reflection of the distribution of power in the world."
* ''If the UN secretary building in New York lost 10 stories, it wouldn't make a bit of difference."
* Renouncing the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court "was the happiest moment of my government service."
* "It is a big mistake for us to grant any validity to international law even when it may seem in our short-term interest to do so because, over the long term, the goal of those who think that international law really means anything are those who want to constrict the United States."

The man who uttered all of those quotes is scheduled for confirmation hearings next week. On April 7 the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will take up the nomination of John Bolton to be America's voice at the United Nations. We must not let this nomination be confirmed.
http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=10078448&url_num=3&url=http://www.2020vision.org/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=532

20/20 Vision believes that the United States is strongest when it operates in conjunction with the rest of the world, not in opposition to it. We weaken ourselves by turning the United Nations into our enemy. An effective UN is essential in dealing with issues such as global disease, peacekeeping, war prevention, and the environment. And an Ambassador who does not believe in international law, and who does not believe that the U.N. has any role in the world, leads to a less effective UN.

And people are starting to take notice. A group of 59 ambassadors, including 46 who served in Republican administrations, has sent a letter to Senator Lugar, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, opposing Bolton's nomination.
http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=10078448&url_num=4&url=http://www.diplomatsagainstbolton.com/

CBS News reports that Bolton is "receiving so much bipartisan criticism that there is a widespread question about whether or not the administration was expecting the nomination to pass the Senate." Now is the time to act.

Please send a note to your Senator expressing your opposition to this nomination. The United Nations has had a vital role in expanding freedom and peace for 60 years. Now, as America is trying to strengthen international diplomacy, is not the time to send a loose cannon to the UN. John Bolton is the wrong man for the job!

Thank you,

Paul Wolfowitz: Symbol of A Global Crisis Behind and Beyond IraqGlobal Justice Ecology Project http://www.globaljusticeecology.org offers the following paper to examine the root issues that drive the Iraq war, ecological destruction and social injustice around the world and that will inevitably lead to future violent conflicts.

Toward the end of all wars.

Signed,

Global Justice Ecology Project

Paul Wolfowitz, American Empire and the World Bank

The approval of Paul Wolfowitz, architect of the Iraq War, to head the World Bank advances the Bank's role as an extension of U.S. imperial power. Joseph Stiglitz, former chief economist of the World Bank calls Bush's choice of Wolfowitz, "an act of provocation," that could, "bring street protests and violence across the developing world." Jim Vallette of the Institute for Policy Studies agrees stating, "choosing Wolfowitz for this job makes perfect sense if the Bush administration intends to completely alienate the world community."

In 2002 Wolfowitz was one of the primary authors of the Bush administration's National Security Strategy. In it he advocated pre-emptive war with Iraq. It further calls for U.S. economic and military domination in every corner of the world and promotes the idea of pre-emptive attacks on any nation that in some way threatens American interests. These ideas are not new, however, and were preceded by two others, a September 2000 document put out by the neo-conservative Project for a New American Century (which Wolfowitz Chairs) and a Defense Department report Wolfowitz co-wrote in 1992.

The 1992 and 2000 reports are very similar. Both promote a global missile defense system; budget increases for the U.S. Defense Department, small, deep penetrating nuclear weapons and the specific targeting of Iraq, Iran and North Korea. In the 1992 report, Wolfowitz argues that the U.S. should be active in "deterring potential competitors from even aspiring to a larger regional or global role." And the Times Online (of the UK) writes that in this report, Wolfowitz, "envisaged the use of nuclear, biological and chemical weaponry pre-emptively, 'even in conflicts that do not directly engage U.S. interests.'" In its 2000 document, the Project for a New American Century promoted the idea that U.S. global dominance could be advanced by "some catastrophic and catalyzing event, like a new Pearl Harbor."

With this history, the nomination of Wolfowitz to lead the World

Bank is a clear sign that the Bush Administration is determined to use whatever avenues it can to pursue its goals of "full spectrum dominance" over the rest of the world. Under current World Bank President Wolfensohn, the Bank has been somewhat resistant to advance the agenda of the Bush administration by financing projects in Iraq. With Wolfowitz at the helm, however, Vallette projects that "the World Bank may be able to complete what the Iraq Invasion started two years ago: U.S. corporate control over the world's second-largest oil reserves."

Connections Between Military and Economic Domination

Wolfowitz is a concrete example of the link between shooting wars and economic wars. Both result in catastrophic loss of life. Both are being pursued in an attempt to secure control of resources and assure strategic military dominance. As two sides of the same coin of corporate globalization, both forms of war must be actively opposed.

"This nomination is an aggressive move by the Bush Administration to use international development policy, and the money of the World Bank, to impose its will on developing countries, just as it has used its military to impose its will on Iraq and Afghanistan," said United for Peace and Justice National Coordinator Leslie Cagan.

While ending the war and occupation in Iraq would be a major victory for peace, there is a much larger, deadlier issue--U.S. economic dominance--that must be addressed. To ensure real peace requires a dramatic economic and political paradigm shift focused on dismantling the systems that promote and advance corporate globalization and its resultant social injustice and ecological annihilation.

As long as neoliberalism and oil fuel the world's economies, securing the Earth's dwindling resources will become increasingly important, inevitably leading to widespread instability and violent confrontations all over the world. The never-ending and opportunistic "war on terrorism," of the U.S. (the greatest success of which is growing new crops of 'terrorists'), is used to violently pursue geo-political control of the Middle East and monopolize some of the world's largest remaining oil supplies. As the planet's oil diminishes over the coming decades the U.S. hopes this strategic geopolitical control will give it hegemony over this vital resource, enabling further global domination and the ability to continue unsustainable consumption levels (the U.S. has 6% of the Earth's population, but consumes 25% of the world's resources including oil).

But while neo-conservatives like Wolfowitz are taking this addiction to oil to new heights, it is not new, nor strictly "conservative." In 1980, President Jimmy Carter pronounced the Carter Doctrine, which states bluntly that the U.S. will use whatever means are necessary to ensure the continued supply of oil. National security and the U.S. military depend on oil. Indeed, the U.S. economy cannot function without oil, the over-consumption of which is causing global climatic change, threatening the survival of the human race as well as most other life on earth. Ending the Iraq War, averting climate catastrophe and realizing social justice in communities around the globe will require not merely "regime change" in the U.S. from one party to another, it will require fundamental social transformation.

For corporate globalization is merely the refinement of old-style imperialism and colonization updated in the U.S. by a military budget equivalent to that of the rest of the world combined; by the use of the word "democracy" to conceal the exploitation invited by "free market" policies; and by the corporate monopolization of mass media. While Wolfowitz has been promoting violence to force populations into subordination, as the new head of the World Bank, he will be mastering the art of economic coercion as well.

Long before Wolfowitz, the U.S. used its defacto veto power over the World Bank to subjugate and exploit the developing world. Devastated by a long history of imperialism and colonialism, poor countries are further ravaged by World Bank and IMF loans. The price for the loans is crushing debt and the imposition of conditions that recipient countries slash social services and open borders to privatization and exploitative foreign investment. The World Bank further dispossesses, poisons and impoverishes communities by funding mega-projects (including oil development and large-scale hydroelectric dams) in poor countries. All of this is designed to empower giant corporations to wrest control of natural resources away from resident populations- mainly poor indigenous peoples and people of color-and ship them off to Northern countries. These policies transform even human beings into expendable resources. In this regard, it could be argued that their logical extreme of "free trade" or "globalization" was already realized in the first wave of globalization: the three-continent slave trade.

Bodies like the World Trade Organization and trade agreements like the North American Free Trade Agreement provide legal frameworks to further enrich corporations and disenfranchise local communities-overturning human rights, environmental and workers' rights laws.

Unlimited Growth, Global Warming and Our Finite Planet

The success of corporate globalization requires "unlimited growth"-a never-ending increase in the transformation of "resources" into capital. Control over these dwindling resources requires global military and economic domination.

What is the impact of "unlimited growth" on a finite planet? A World Wildlife Fund report found that one-third of the Earth's natural wealth was lost from 1970 to 1995. The Smithsonian estimates that the Earth loses over 300 species per day due to habitat destruction. Likewise, many native peoples are threatened with extinction. Global warming, the result of an economy overly dependent on oil, threatens all life on earth. The UN estimates that global warming-caused "natural" disasters have already killed 500,000 people. Environmental refugees outnumber refugees from military conflicts.

Corporate globalization, with its mandate to put profit first, above both planet and people, has pushed the Earth's life support systems to the brink of collapse. This ecological crisis makes it increasingly obvious that an economic system based on the accumulation of wealth and unlimited growth is simply not sustainable.

UN weapons inspector Hans Blix states, "To me the question of the environment is more ominous than that of peace and warŠI'm more worried about global warming than I am of any major military conflict." More alarming however, is that global warming will lead to future wars.

The Pentagon concurs. According to London's The Observer, a secret Pentagon report leaked to the press in February of 2004, "predicts that abrupt climate change could bring the planet to the edge of anarchy as countries develop a nuclear threat to defend and secure dwindling food, water and energy supplies. The threat to global stability vastly eclipses that of terrorism, say the few experts privy to its contents." The report concludes, "Disruption and conflict will be endemic features of life. Once again, warfare would define human life." An anti-war movement cannot ignore global warming.

Single Issue Politics vs. Cooperation; Symbolic Protest vs. Civil Disobedience

We stand at a turning point. Movements can remain divided, working on single issues, confining activism to weekend marches, looking to "leaders" to solve these problems, and watching as future generations inherit devastated communities and ecosystems. Or we can join together to rebel against the dark and cynical worldview that values life only according to the profits it conveys and rise up for compassion, justice and the future of all life on earth. By linking together we can create a powerful movement for change that successfully challenges these common economic, social and political roots of our issues.

U.S. IMPERIALISM MUST BE STOPPED. To end the Iraq war and all economic, military and environmental wars, our symbolic marches and protests must grow to include direct action aimed at preventing business as usual. Soldiers should be encouraged to refuse to fight and supported when they do so. Defense plants, stock exchanges and war profiteers must be blockaded. It must become impossible for the U.S. corporate economy to function until this war and all war is stopped.

To stop an empire people must unite and people must resist.

"Symbolic resistance must never replace real civil disobedience. You cannot stop a war with a weekend march. We must refuse to comply with the status quo. We be many and they be few and they need us more than we need them."

We can't 'export' democracy because we don't HAVE democracy ... The United States is a constitution-based federal republic, NOT a democracy. We can't 'export' free elections, because WE don't have free elections. We can't even 'export' freedom, because we're losing more of our own on a daily basis. We have MILLIONS in prison due to draconian laws (that the citizenry doesn't agree with). We have been guilty of violating our own most sacred freedoms, such as no taxation without representation, the presumption of innocence, the right to a speedy trial, and on and on ... to say nothing of covert and overt torture and abuse both domestically and abroad.

Media watchdogs decrying 'fake news' segments that are actually packages produced and distributed by the Bush administration to promote government programs are demanding the Federal Communications Commission take a stand against the practice. They are joined by some members of Congress and other groups who have asked the FCC to investigate whether the government and broadcasters are violating regulations by producing and airing what they say are deceptive public relations tools funded with taxpayer dollars.

'It's essentially propaganda, it's so-called news that is promoting White House policies and is provided by the government and is not being labeled as such,' said Josh Silver, a spokesman for Free Press, a watchdog group that recently helped to collect 40,000 signatures on a petition calling on the FCC, Congress and the broadcasters to 'stop fake news...

Ein Handy kann von der Belastung keinesfalls mit einen Handy- Sender verglichen werden.

Ob ich in einem Labor, z.B. als Schüler etwas mit Radioaktivität spiele, oder mein Leben lang neben einen Reaktor wohne, wäre ähnlich der Situation Handynutzung / wohnen am Sender.

Ein Handy sendet, wenn der Nutzer es benötigt und sonst fast nicht. Völlig eigene Entscheidung, völlig autonome Entscheidung (sollte man annehmen). Also im Schnitt wahrscheinlich 99% belastungsfreie (arme) Zeit, die der Handyuser da hat.

Im Falle der Belastung tritt dann einen Strahlung auf, die gepulst ist, und immer gleichmässig den Körper stresst (217 Hz).

Die Belastung 1 cm neben dem Ohr wäre theo. ca. knapp 10 W/m2 Leistungsflussdichte mit festen 217 Hz niederfrequenter, resultierender Pulsung, aber eben nur so lange es genutzt wird.

Ein Sendemast strahlt aber 24 h 365 d und das mit wechselnden Pulsen (217 -1700 Hz), an die sich der Körper scheinbar nur schwerer gewöhnt, zumindest die Wechsel eine oft erwähnte Belastung in sich darstellen, neben den vielen anderen Wirkungen, z.B. auf das Melatonin und die nächtliche "Servicezentrale" die für gesund Erhaltung etc. sorgt.

Der Anwohner hat ebenso nicht die Möglichkeit sich der ungewollten Belastung zu entziehen, nicht mal das Argument , "zieh doch um" hilft da weiter.

Und wie Kinder, gerade bzgl. Leistungsfähigkeit und Nachtruhe auf die Sendebelastungen reagieren, sollte noch mehr zu Bedenken geben!

Oder anders:

Sie denken also, dass eine kurzzeitige Belastung, noch ein Beispiel, z.B. drei LKW am Tag Feinstaub und Lärm mehr Anlass zur Sorge gibt, als eine permanent stark benutzte LKW Stecke mit Dauerlärm, der nachweislich chronisch krank macht, und den Abgasbelastungen?

Oder wie kann ich Sie verstehen?

Hier in der Umgebung gibt es einige Landwirte. Höfe die Probleme haben, seit Sender in der Nähe sind.

Z.B. Hafenprebach, Dietersdorf, Aussiedlerhof bei Bad Königshofen, und auch bei einer ehm. LPG mit Sender auf dem Silo. Alles Raum Nordbayern.

Weiter wurden in der bay. Rinderstudie genug Gründe geliefert, da einen Zusammenhang zu sehen.

MÄRCHEN, ja oder nein!???!?

Also, entscheidend ist nur, was ankommt! Und zwar bei potentiellen Opfern.

Gerechnet wird ein Kugelstrahler.

Und damit man bei einer 10 W Anlage und Antennengewinn rechnen kann, rechnet man aus, was für Leistung der Sender benötigen würde (!) um beim Opfer die gleiche Belastung hervorzurufen, wie ein echter Kugelstrahler!

Nun, das ist aber gar nicht entscheidend!

Ist für einen Schädigung eine durchschnittliche Belastung oder eine Spitzenbelastung entscheidend?

Oder beides?

Bricht eine Brücke durch viele Tonnen Spitzenbelastung oder durch eine hohe durchschnittliche Belastung?

Sowohl als auch, aber unter anderen Gesichtspunkten.

Reagiert ein Biosystem auf den heftigsten Reiz, oder nur auf die durchschnittliche Reizschwelle?

FGF meint (Dr. Gerlinde Kaul, Bundesamt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin, Berlin, Dipl.-Ing. Regina Reichardt, Forschungsgemeinschaft Funk e.V., Bonn):

"Um eine optimale Übertragungsrate beim mobilen Telefonieren gewährleisten zu können, wird das Sendesignal digitalisiert und „gepulst“ abgegeben. Im eigentlichen Sinn aber findet beim Mobilfunk eine paketweise Übertragung von Funksignalen statt. Dass diese sogenannte „Pulsung“ auch eine Verminderung der mittleren Sendeleistung am „Handy“ bewirkt, so ähnlich, als ob jemand eine Hand voll Sand portionsweise loslassen würde, können Skeptiker nicht so recht akzeptieren. Sie glauben, es handle sich bei dieser Pulsmodulation beim Mobilfunk um eine Art „Radarpulse“, deren technologisches Prinzip jedoch ein anderes ist. Gerade in der letzten Zeit ist vermehrt von der „gefährlichen Pulsung“ die Rede, Vergleiche mit epileptischen Anfällen bei Stratoskoplicht bleiben nicht aus. Warum machen aber gerade die „Pulse“ solche Angst? „Aus eigener Erfahrung weiß man, dass jeder (Im-) Puls eine Energiezufuhr bedeutet, die schubweise erzeugt wird. Geräusche wären ohne das energetische Auf- und Abschwellen des Schalls nicht zu unterscheiden. Klopfen, Hauen, Schlagen sind häufige, auch physisch erfahrbare Impulse. Dass das Herz schlägt, ist nicht nur für jeden spürbar, es hat darüber hinaus auch eine existenzielle Bedeutung. Sein Puls wird als Anzahl der Schläge pro Minute registriert. „Beim GSM-Mobilfunk beträgt die Pulsrate 217 pro Sekunde!“ Die Beziehung Pulsschlag (des Herzens) und Pulsfrequenz (des Mobilfunks) ist inhaltlich falsch. Auf der Verhaltensebene allerdings lassen sich mit einer solchen Assoziation psychologisch sehr wohl subjektive Anschauungen miteinander verknüpfen, auch wenn diese real nichts miteinander zu tun haben."

Kann man sagen, dass wenn ein Paketdienstfahrer 50 km Strecke pro Stunde schafft, er unmöglich innerorts die 50 km/h Beschränkung überschreiten kann, oder ist dieser Fahrer durchaus in der Lage durchs Dorf mit gefählichen 85 km/h zu heizen?

Entscheidend ist hier die reale Geschwindigkeit in einem Moment, und wenn ein Handy durchschnittlich einen Leistung abgibt, dabei allerdings nicht die volle Zeit nutzt, bedeutet es, dass der Einzelimpuls kräftiger sein muss, als es erscheint.

Und dieser dann höhere Impuls hat völlig anderes Schädigungspotential als der durchschnittliche Wert, der bei einer Dauerbelastung oft viel niedriger sein kann um auch noch zu schädigen.

Diese Argumentation mit dem Durchschnitt ist sowieso nur für thermische Folgen gerechtfertigt und hat bei Argumentationen im Athermischen recht wenig zu suchen!

Und 10 W ergeben bei 17 dB Antenne genau: 501,2 W EIRP real mit Kabeldämpfung 5db ca. 160 W.

Bei 40 W und 17 db Antennengewinn, 5 db Kabelverlust, sind's 634 W EIRP.

(.. völlig untypische Anlagen (hier entweder 10 W omnnidirektional oder 20 W pro Sektorantenne)

(also z.B: 3x20 W + 17 db Ant. -5 dB Kabel ergeben EIRP 951 W)

und:

Es wird die Eingangsleistung eines Kanals der Basisstation mit der 2-Watt-Leistung eines Handys verglichen. Wie oben beschrieben, werden aus den 10 Watt sehr schnell 2000 Watt, die Sendeleistung des Handys bleibt aber bei 2 Watt. Hierbei ist der Antennengewinn minimal und kann somit vernachlaessigt werden.

Ist leider ebenso Quatsch.

2 W/kg dürfen vom Körper max. absorbiert werden. Und ein Handy sendet die gesamte Leistung in max. der Hälfte der Zeit, (den Rest empfängt das Handy). Im Schnitt irgendwas um die 125 mW.

So haben wir hier exakt ebenso das oben beschriebene Durchschnittsprinzip, denn um die 2 W/kg in den Körper zu schießen, muss der "Energiestrom" zumindest doppelt so hoch sein, wie bei einem Dauersender!

Und wir wissen seit langen, dass bereits bei 0,01 W/kg SAR Wert einiges geschieht...

Die EXPERTEN DES BUNDES VOR ETABLIERUNG EINES MILLIARDENMARKTES:

Bundesanzeiger Nr. 43 vom 03. März 1992, – Veröffentlichungen der Strahlenschutzkommission, Band 24)

"Über spezielle Effekte, die nicht auf der Erwärmung beruhen, wird in der Literatur seit ungefähr 15 Jahren berichtet. Wenn eine Hochfrequenzstrahlung mit einer anderen Frequenz amplitudenmoduliert ist, können Feldwirkungen auftreten, welche bei unmodulierter Strahlung nicht existieren. Es handelt sich meistens um Veränderungen der Permeabilität von Zellmembranen.

Beispielsweise wurde festgestellt, daß bei einer HF-Strahlung mit einer Frequenz von 147MHz, die mit Frequenzen zwischen 6 und 20 Hertz moduliert war, der Kalziumausstrom aus Zellkulturen bei bestimmten Frequenzen signifikant (um 10 bis 20 %) erhöht war. Insgesamt wurde eine komplexe Abhängigkeit dieser Effekte von Intensität und Frequenz beobachtet, wobei spezielle Frequenzbereiche besonders wirksam sind. Die Membraneffekte wurden vielfach bestätigt, so daß ihre Existenz heute als gesichert gilt.

Hervorzuheben ist, daß die SAR-Werte hierbei teilweise kleiner als 0,01 W/kg sind und damit erheblich unterhalb thermisch relevanter Intensitäten liegen."

Leider sind diese Worte wie auch das Wissen auf das sie beruhen weit verdrängt worden.

Weiter ist es völlig daneben, den Schutzabstand für Sektorantennen anhand der kreisförmigen Abstrahlung zu berechnen.

Und dann sind wir ganz schnell bei den Problemen die wir in der Realität im direkten Bereich der Antennen sehen:

(Grafik Krebscluster Westhausen:
http://www.buergerwelle.de/pdf/grafik_krebscluster_westhausen.gif

Das sind alle tödlichen Krebsfälle (über 1% der Bevölkerung) im Dorf seit Senderinbetriebnahme, ausschlieslich im Bereich Radius ca. 125 m, Krebsratensteigerung bisher (3 Jahre Sendebetrieb) runde 50 %. Sterberate von deutlich unterdurchschnittlich nun auf Bundesdurchschnitt gestiegen (Zahlen nach kich. Register, Stat. Bundesamt).

Die Belastung in ca. 125 m findet sich allerdings an ausgewählten Stellen auch in einem Kilometer Entfernung wieder, dank Sendekeulen und Antennengewinn!

Ähnlich Steinbach- Hallendorf....uva.

Die Daten stammen aus dem Totenbuch und dem Wissen darum vom heimischen Pfarrer. Er beerdigt fast alle, kennt die Backgrounds dazu und fast immer auch die Todesursache.

Zu den einzelnen Fällen....

Drei der Krebsfälle sind sehr auffällig: jüngere Person (von 26 bis ca. 55) und zwischen Ausbruch / Feststellung Krebs und Tod lagen im extremsten Fall nur einige Monate.

Es gibt in der Umgebung mehrere Gemeinden, wo ähnliches zu finden ist...vom Zeilberg in Maroldsweisach (bzw., der Siedlung unterhalb), Dermbach, und auch Steinbach- Hallenberg wird diese berichtet.

Die Vergleichsdaten stammen aus Statistiken vom Bund... und da ist insbesondere die Veränderung der Sterblichkeit interessant.. man wurde "früher" älter hier... und heute ist man beim Bundesdurchschnitt....und das Gute ... hier gibt es keine anderen Belastungen...keine Industrie, keine Starkstromleitungen, keine Landwirtschaft mit Gifteinsatz...nur das normale Leben.. und die paar Autos... sowie der D2 Sender.


Bernd Schreiner

--------

Ein Handy kann von der Belastung keinesfalls mit einen Handy- Sender verglichen werden.

Ob ich in einem Labor, z.B. als Schüler etwas mit Radioaktivität spiele, oder mein Leben lang neben einen Reaktor wohne, wäre ähnlich der Situation Handynutzung / wohnen am Sender.

Ein Handy sendet, wenn der Nutzer es benötigt und sonst fast nicht. Völlig eigene Entscheidung, völlig autonome Entscheidung (sollte man annehmen). Also im Schnitt wahrscheinlich 99% belastungsfreie (arme) Zeit, die der Handyuser da hat.

Im Falle der Belastung tritt dann einen Strahlung auf, die gepulst ist, und immer gleichmässig den Körper stresst (217 Hz).

Die Belastung 1 cm neben dem Ohr wäre theo. ca. knapp 10 W/m2 Leistungsflussdichte mit festen 217 Hz niederfrequenter, resultierender Pulsung, aber eben nur so lange es genutzt wird.

Ein Sendemast strahlt aber 24 h 365 d und das mit wechselnden Pulsen (217 -1700 Hz), an die sich der Körper scheinbar nur schwerer gewöhnt, zumindest die Wechsel eine oft erwähnte Belastung in sich darstellen, neben den vielen anderen Wirkungen, z.B. auf das Melatonin und die nächtliche "Servicezentrale" die für gesund Erhaltung etc. sorgt.

Der Anwohner hat ebenso nicht die Möglichkeit sich der ungewollten Belastung zu entziehen, nicht mal das Argument, "zieh doch um" hilft da weiter.

Und wie Kinder, gerade bzgl. Leistungsfähigkeit und Nachtruhe auf die Sendebelastungen reagieren, sollte noch mehr zu Bedenken geben!

Oder anders:

Sie denken also, dass eine kurzzeitige Belastung, noch ein Beispiel, z.B. drei LKW am Tag Feinstaub und Lärm mehr Anlass zur Sorge gibt, als eine permanent stark benutzte LKW Stecke mit Dauerlärm, der nachweislich chronisch krank macht, und den Abgasbelastungen?

Oder wie kann ich Sie verstehen?

Bereits im Frühjahr 2003 haben Hamburger Anti-Atom- und Umweltgruppen diese Kampagne ins Leben gerufen, damit mehr Stromkunden der Atomenergie den Rücken kehren. Seither haben sich viele weitere Umweltorganisationen dieser Kampagne angeschlossen.

Warum?

Obwohl Umfragen immer wieder zeigen, dass die Mehrheit gegen die Nutzung der Atomkraft ist, beziehen bisher nur etwa 1% der Haushalte ihren Strom aus regenerativen Energiequellen. Diese Quote ist kaum ernst zu nehmen. Wir wollen etwas unternehmen, damit sie steigt, und laden Sie ein, uns dabei zu helfen.

Was können Sie tun?

Informieren Sie sich auf unserer Website, wie Sie zu einem atomfreien Stromanbieter wechseln können. Das ist ein kleiner Schritt für Sie und ein großer Tritt für die Atomindustrie: http://www.stromwechsel-jetzt.de/

In 1970, Congress created the EPA on the theory that only a national agency insulated from accountability to voters could produce the scientifically grounded pollution rules needed to save a careless public from its own filth. But David Schoenbrod, former Natural Resources Defense Council senior attorney, has come to the conclusion that letting the EPA dictate to the nation is a mistake. In his new book, Prof. Schoenbrod argues that the EPA is a musclebound agency that, under Democrats and Republicans alike, delays good rules, imposes bad ones, and is so massive, mighty, and remote that it does unnecessary damage to our society.

Stagnation statt Belebung

Zur Situation auf dem Arbeitsmarkt im Monat März erklärt der Bundesgeschäftsführer der PDS, Rolf Kutzmutz:

Weder das Frühjahr noch die Arbeitsmarktreformen haben im März für eine Entspannung auf dem Arbeitsmarkt gesorgt. Die Zahl der Arbeitslosen liegt mit 5,175 Millionen im Monat März unverändert extrem hoch.

Niemand kann für das Wetter. Die Hartz-Gesetze jedoch sind von der übergroßen Koalition aus Union, SPD, Grünen und Wirtschaft gewollt und gemacht. Und sie haben versagt. Zwei Jahre nach der Verkündung der Agenda 2010 und drei Monate nach der Einführung von Hartz-IV, zeigt sich deutlich, dass sie nicht halten, was ihre Macher versprachen.

Stattdessen: Vielfaches Abgleiten in die Armut, Zwangsmaßnahmen, Ein-Euro-Jobs eine systematische Zerstörung des sozialen Netzes. Die PDS war gegen die Hartz-Gesetze und ist es weiter. Hartz IV ist ein schlechtes und schlecht gemachtes Gesetz. Existenzsichernde Arbeit entsteht dadurch nicht. Stattdessen setzen vor allem die Großkonzerne trotz Milliardengewinnen Zehntausende auf die Straße. Des Kanzlers Appelle dagegen klingen halbherzig. Die stetige Senkung der Unternehmenssteuern hat in den letzten Jahrzehnten den Arbeitsplatzabbau nicht stoppen können, im Gegenteil. Warum dies ausgerechnet jetzt anders werden soll, wird wohl sein Geheimnis bleiben.

Es gibt Alternativen zu dieser Politik des sozialen Raubbaus. Alternativen zu Hartz IV und zur Agenda 2010. Mit ihrer Agenda Sozial zeigt die PDS, dass es anders geht. Sie enthält Vorschläge jenseits von Geschenken an Unternehmen und Sozialabbau: Vom gesetzlichen Mindestlohn über Korrekturen der Hartz-Gesetze bei der Leistungshöhe, den Zumutbarkeitskriterien, der Anrechnung von Altersvorsorgevermögen und Partnereinkommen sowie der Dauer der Zahlung des Arbeitslosengeldes I bis zu einer armutsfesten sozialen Grundsicherung, öffentlichen Investitionsprogrammen, Arbeitszeitverkürzung, Ausbildungsplatzumlage und einem öffentlich geförderten Beschäftigungssektor.

"That country, the United States, belongs to the red man, the American Indian. ... It's actually a shame to be a so-called American because everybody living there is ... an invader," Fischer said.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland (AP) 31.03.2005 Bobby Fisher's latest audacious gambit has begun in a wind-lashed corner of the north Atlantic.

The volatile chess icon arrived in Reykjavik late Thursday, a brand-new Icelandic citizen and unrepentant critic of the United States, which considers him as a fugitive from justice.

Hours after being freed from nine months' detention in Japan, Fischer called the United States "an illegitimate country" and said the charges against him were groundless.

Dressed in jeans and sporting a bushy grey beard, Fischer stepped from a chartered jet at Reykjavik airport to applause from about 200 supporters in a tiny, chess-loving nation still grateful for its role as the site of his most famous match a 1972 world championship victory over Soviet player Boris Spassky that was the highlight of Fisher's career and a world-gripping symbol of Cold War rivalry.

Fischer had been held in Japan for trying to leave the country using an invalid U.S. passport. Japan agreed to release him after he accepted Iceland's offer of citizenship.

During his long trip to Iceland, Fischer railed against the governments of Japan and the United States, calling Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi a "stooge" of President Bush.

"This was a kidnapping, because the charges that the Japanese charged me with are totally nonsense," he told Associated Press Television News on the flight.

An American chess champion at 14 and a grand master at 15, the enigmatic, eccentric Fischer has long had a reputation for volatility, and a troubled relationship with the United States.

Aboard the flight from Tokyo, he called the United States "an illegitimate country ..."

"That country, the United States, belongs to the red man, the American Indian. ... It's actually a shame to be a so-called American because everybody living there is ... an invader," Fischer said.

Fischer, 62, wanted by the United States for violating sanctions imposed on the former Yugoslavia by playing an exhibition match against Spassky there in 1992, had fought deportation from Japan.

Fischer said he felt "very appreciative" toward Iceland but indicated he had no plans to tone down his anti-U.S. rhetoric.

"I grew up with the concept of freedom of speech. I'm too old,' he said. "It's too late for me to adjust to the new world, the new world order," he said with a chuckle.

Fischer remains popular in Iceland, a country with one of the highest numbers of chess players per capita in the world.

"Even though I don't know him personally, I have the feeling of knowing him through his biography of chess, his games," said Magnus Skulason, a psychiatrist and chess enthusiast who came to the airport to greet Fischer. "It was hard to think of him going to jail for many years."

This nation of fewer than 300,000 people is a staunch U.S. ally, but there is a strong undercurrent of public anger at the government's support for the U.S.-led Iraq war, which was opposed by four-fifths of Icelanders.

The United States has an extradition treaty with Iceland, however, and could still try to have Fischer deported. His Icelandic supporters vow that won't happen.

"I think he is safe now," said Thorstein Matthiasson, 39. "We have more courage than the Japanese."

http://electionarchive.org/ucvAnalysis/US/Exit_Polls_2004_Edison-Mitofsky.pdf

Scientific Analysis Suggests Presidential Vote Counts May Have Been Altered /Group of University Professors Urges Investigation of 2004 Election/

Officially, President Bush won November's election by 2.5%, yet exit polls showed Kerry winning by 3%[1] <#_ftn1>. According to a report to be released today by a group of university statisticians, the odds of a discrepancy this large between the national exit poll and election results happening by accident are close to 1 in a million.

In other words, by random chance alone, it could not have happened. But it did.

Two alternatives remain. Either something was wrong with the exit polling, or something was wrong with the vote count.

Exit polls have been used to verify the integrity of elections in the Ukraine, in Latin America, in Germany, and elsewhere. Yet in November 2004, the U.S. exit poll discrepancy was much more than normal exit poll error (and similar to that of the invalid Ukraine election.[2] <#_ftn2>)

In a recent survey of US members of the world's oldest and largest computer society, The Association for Computing Machinery, 95% opposed software driven un-auditable voting machines[3] <#_ftn3>, of the type that now count at least 30% of U.S. votes. Today's electronic vote-counting machines are not required to include basic safeguards that would prevent and detect machine or human caused errors, be they innocent or deliberate.[4] <#_ftn4>

The consortium that conducted the presidential exit polls, Edison/Mitofsky, issued a report in January suggesting that the discrepancy between election results and exit polls occurred because Bush voters were more reticent than Kerry voters in response to pollsters.

The authors of this newly released scientific study "Analysis of the 2004 Presidential Election Poll Discrepancies" consider this "reluctant Bush responder" hypothesis to be highly implausible, based on extensive analysis of Edison/Mitofsky's exit poll data. They conclude, /“The required pattern of exit poll participation by Kerry and Bush voters to satisfy the exit poll data defies empirical experience and common sense under any assumed scenario.”/

A state-by-state analysis of the discrepancy between exit polls and official election results shows highly improbable skewing of the election results, overwhelmingly biased towards the President.

The report concludes, “/We believe that the absence of any statistically-plausible explanation for the discrepancy between Edison/Mitofsky’s exit poll data and the official presidential vote tally is an unanswered question of vital national importance that needs thorough investigation./”

Ph.D. statisticians in America who have seen this group's preliminary exit poll study have not refuted it. This new study is a much more comprehensive an analysis of the exit poll discrepancies.

The report is available on-line:

When one's pride of country is destroyed, along with it goes respect for the people of the country. It does not mean that one has come to hate one's country, but only the actions taken in the name of the people, while the people sit dumbfounded in ignorance. It also does not mean that one has come to hate the people, but instead only their lack of action against government that is absolutely out of control, whether the lack of action is based on fear, ignorance, laziness, or the excuse of 'not wanting to be involved.' Good Lord, People, wake up and smell the roses instead of the stench from government...

Americans must face a hard truth. The state of Florida put Terri Schiavo to death. Before Holy Week, she was neither dead nor dying. For 15 years, she had been cared for by nurses and visited by loving parents. She was not dying until the judge ordered her dead, by ordering her feeding tube removed. Then it has taken her nearly two weeks to die, as he blocked the reinsertion of the feeding tube and ordered police to prevent anyone from giving her water...

As they grow more confident, enemies of the courts are growing more extreme. Buried within the Real ID Act recently passed by the House is a provision that would swap martial law for the rule of law. If enacted, the bill would give the secretary of homeland security unilateral power to waive any law on the books that might interfere with the building of border fences -- including civil-rights and minimum-wage protections, and even criminal laws. Courts would be barred from ever reviewing the secretary's stroke of the pen. Measures like these flow from a view of our courts as little more than enemy combatants...

Verband: Speicherung von Verbindungsdaten sabotiert Persönlichkeitsrechte

29. März 2005 - 19:42 Uhr

Düsseldorf - Bereits im Mai 2004 hatte der Bundesverband Digitale Wirtschaft (BVDW) e.V. prophezeit, was nun konkrete Gestalt annimmt: Die bis zu 36 Monate lange Speicherung aller Kommunikationsdaten aus dem Internet und Mobilfunk. Trotz massiver Kritik hält Bundesinnenminister Otto Schily an diesen Plänen fest. Als Begründung für diese Absicht wird dabei vor allem der Kampf gegen den Terrorismus ins Feld geführt. Nachdem Schily mit ähnlichen Ansinnen in den bundespolitischen Gremien gescheitert war, versucht der Innenminister nun offenbar, mit Hilfe der Europäischen Union seine Ziele durchzusetzen. Die betroffenen Telekommunikationsunternehmen, Daten- und Verbraucherschützer, ja sogar Teile der Regierungskoalition reagieren fassungslos.

"Im Fahrwasser der Terrorismusbekämpfung wird hier der Versuch unternommen das Recht auf informationelle Selbstbestimmung auszuhebeln. Die angestrebte Speicherung von Vorratsdaten würde jedoch nicht nur die Grundrechte der rund 450 Millionen EU-Bürger einschränken, indem man sie pauschal unter Terrorismusverdacht stellt. Die dadurch entstehende gigantische Datenmenge würde die Provider mit Zusatzkosten, die bis in dreistelligen Millionenbereich gehen, belasten," kritisiert BVDW-Präsident Arndt Groth die aktuelle Entwicklung.

Käme es tatsächlich zu einer Verabschiedung eines Rahmenbeschlusses durch den EU-Ministerrat müssten alle Daten, die im Zusammenhang mit öffentlichen elektronischen Kommunikationsdiensten (vor allem Internet, E-Mail, SMS) anfallen, mindestens zwölf bis maximal 36 Monate auf Vorrat gespeichert und auf Ersuchen der zuständigen Behörden zu Ermittlungszwecken zugänglich gemacht werden. Begründet werden diese Schritte mit der "Vorbeugung, Untersuchung, Feststellung und Verfolgung von Straftaten, einschließlich Terrorismus".

"Angesichts des erheblichen Eingriffs in die Rechte aller Nutzer, der zu erwartenden Kostenlawine für Internetprovider sowie der völligen Unklarheit, wie das immense Datenaufkommen überhaupt ausgewertet werden soll, ist die Sinnhaftigkeit dieses Vorhabens fraglich", so Friederike Behrends, Leiterin des Arbeitskreises Medienpolitik im BVDW. "In Anbetracht der Eile, in der dieses fragwürdige Vorhaben durchgesetzt werden soll, besteht der Eindruck, dass es eher um die Profilierung einzelner Politiker geht als um einen effektiven Terrorismusschutz", so Behrends weiter. .

Gleichzeitig belegen die Erfahrungen mit Anbietern illegaler Inhalte (wie etwa Kinderpornographie oder Raubkopien), dass eine solche Regelung kaum zielführend ist. "Gerade terroristische Kreise sowie die Erscheinungsformen der organisierten Kriminalität wissen, wie sie ihre Spuren über Anonymisierungsdienste oder der Verschlüsselungen von Nachrichten verwischen können", erklärt Groth. Eine Feststellung, die im Übrigen auch vom Bundesdatenschutzbeauftragten Peter Schaar geteilt wird.

This is the first time I have seen this information about grounding that ties-in specifically with the "inflammatory" reactions related to EMR plus lots more...... Even if it is a site that offers items for sale, there are "actual journal references" cited. Take care - Joanne

The Lutec 1000 is the first free energy machine to be developed to commercial stage anywhere in the world.

The Lutec 1000 generator will produce up to 1000 watts of DC electricity twenty four hours a day, every day, which will be stored in a battery bank and then inverted to AC power and connected directly into the home or business.

The Lutec 1000 draws the power it requires to run itself from the same battery bank. The average house in Cairns, Queensland, uses only fourteen of the twenty four kilowatt hours able to be stored in twenty four hours by this method.

The batteries will last ten years. The generator is expected to come with a conditional ten year warranty.

The magnets that are responsible for the generation have an effective life of one thousand three hundred years.

This product is non polluting. It will assist to bring down green house gases and therefore help cure our sick and dying planet. There are strong community health benefits. It will help slow the rate of use of non renewable resources, like oil. It will help reduce airborne emissions of gases and elements that ruin our forests and lakes.

No buying petrol or diesel to run generators. No having to depend of the sun coming out, no flooding perfectly good farm land to build hydro systems, no nuclear meltdowns or disposal problems with radioactive by-products, no high sulphur and nitrous content, foul smelling, coal burning.

Buyers can structure their repayments so that the power produced pays for their purchase.

Convenience plus, no more black outs, brown outs, interruptions because of line maintenance, lightning strike, heavy rain, strong wind, fire, cyclone, flood, poor maintenance at power stations.

Add to all that better computer security, personal security, more heating, more disposable income, more cooling, more appliances purchased because it costs nothing to run them.

There are many, many more excellent reasons why everyone should have one of these.

A report backed by 1,360 scientists from 95 countries - some of them world leaders in their fields - today warns that the almost two-thirds of the natural machinery that supports life on Earth is being degraded by human pressure. The study contains what its authors call 'a stark warning' for the entire world. The wetlands, forests, savannahs, estuaries, coastal fisheries and other habitats that recycle air, water and nutrients for all living creatures are being irretrievably damaged. In effect, one species is now a hazard to the other 10 million or so on the planet, and to itself.

The Campaign for America's Future is set to launch the biggest television ad campaign in our history against the most corrupt -- and one of the most powerful -- politicians in Washington, Tom "the Hammer" DeLay. All Americans -- particularly DeLay's own constituents -- must be made aware of his flagrant and repeated corruption, so that we can work together to knock DeLay from his House leadership post.

Help us air a new TV ad to call out DeLay's corruption for hundreds of thousands of his own constituents and upwards of one million Americans. Help us nail "the Hammer!"

http://action.ourfuture.org/ctt.asp?u=1742757&l=85452

The corruption of today's Congress has reached unparalleled heights, and as with fish, the rot starts at the head. Tom DeLay leads the Republican majority in Congress, and epitomizes the blatant corruption, abuses of power and partisanship all too common among the extreme right wing.

Tom DeLay thinks he can wash his hands of corruption. But, no matter how hard he tries, he can't remove the dirt -- because it's a part of him. Here are just a few examples of DeLay's appalling corruption -- which need to be called out and ended once and for all!

> Taking campaign contributions from a polluting energy company in exchange for what company officials believed would be "a seat at the table" during Energy Bill negotiations.

> Taking a luxury vacation to Europe bankrolled by an Indian gambling casino, and then killing legislation -- opposed by the casino -- that would have cracked down on online gambling.

> Strong-arming a Republican member of Congress to side with big drug companies and HMOs during the 2004 Medicare bill. (The Republican colleague originally accused DeLay of outright bribery.)

> MORE: http://action.ourfuture.org/ctt.asp?u=1742757&l=85453

Help us expose even more of Tom DeLay's dirty deeds to the American people, so that we can push the Congress to finally wash its hands of Tom DeLay!

http://action.ourfuture.org/ctt.asp?u=1742757&l=85452

Our plan is to air this ad for a week straight for upwards of 400,000 households -- households full of DeLay's Texas constituents and DC colleagues -- the people with the power to remove him from his House leadership post.

For the first $20,000 contributed, the Campaign for America's Future will match every dollar 4-to-1 to expose DeLay's corruption for even more people. With this match, every $10 you contribute will put this ad in front of 160 households for a full week! Please contribute today.

http://action.ourfuture.org/ctt.asp?u=1742757&l=85452

Tom DeLay once shouted at a government employee who tried to stop him from smoking on government property, "I am the federal government." His arrogance and repeated corruption show a man who believes he's above the law, and who has lost respect for our democracy's checks on absolute power. Let's remind the American public and Tom DeLay both that, in fact, WE are the federal government, and that we won't tolerate corruption in our Congress -- especially among its leaders.

Let's show Tom DeLay that although he can't wash his hands of his own corruption, we stand ready to press the Congress to wash its hands of him.

http://action.ourfuture.org/ctt.asp?u=1742757&l=85452

Thank you again for your support!

Sincerely,

Ellen S. Miller, Deputy Director
Campaign for America's Future

P.S. Help us spread the word about Tom DeLay's corruption. Please forward this email to friends and post information about Tom DeLay on your favorite blog!

Here's a letter from Senator Barack Obama:

I'm writing today about a senator who needs your urgent support. Senator Robert Byrd was one of the first senators I met with when I came to the Senate 3 months ago. Senator Byrd understands the history, the importance and the role Senate plays in our government--at 87 years old, he's the most senior senator.

He has spoken out passionately against a Bush foreign policy that has alienated our allies throughout the world. Today, he is fighting an attempt by Republicans to change the 200-year old rules of the Senate that would allow Republicans to ram federal judges through the Senate with no regard for what others might say. Above all, Robert Byrd understands just how sacred the Constitution of our country truly is and fights every day to protect it.

Now he needs our help. In 2006, Senator Byrd will be the target of Republicans because he stands up for what he believes.

I want to be sure Robert Byrd is here fighting for us in the Senate. Will you join me in supporting his campaign for re-election, before a critical deadline this Thursday?

You can give online at:
https://www.moveonpac.org/give/byrd.html?id=5282-1410598-lt05gH1xwqiWDNLnFWFxBQ

I hope you will give generously to help send Robert Byrd back to the Senate for another term to fight for the Constitution and the freedom of speech we all enjoy.

I don't have to tell you how important every Senate seat is right now. Just last week, the Senate voted 51-49 to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge for oil drilling and Republicans now threaten even more drastic measures such as privatizing Social Security.

Last fall, I had the privilege to write and ask your help to support candidates and help us take back the U.S. Senate. And your response was nothing short of amazing--you raised more than $1 million for seven Senate candidates, providing them with much-needed resources at the end of their campaigns. I'm happy to be part of these efforts again.

A Democratic majority in the U.S. Senate would mean a real change in the priorities of Washington, but more importantly, it would provide significant change for everyday people across America.

Remember, in order to win back the Senate majority, we need Robert Byrd.

The work you do is extremely important--you and millions of others, working through MoveOn, have helped change the way politics works in this country. Thank you for your help.

Sincerely,

Barack Obama

Antibiotika-Resistenzgen in Lebensmitteln?

Skandal um versehentlich vertriebenen illegalen Genmais

Ein neuer Lebensmittelskandal weitet sich aus: Der versehentlich vertriebene illegale Genmais Bt10 enthält Resistenzgene gegen das Antibiotikum Ampicillin. Dieses ist in der Humanmedizin weit verbreitet. Wie das Unternehmen Syngenta zugeben musste, ist dies der Unterschied zu der zugelassenen Linie Bt11, mit der die Lieferungen verwechselt worden waren. Auch über die Menge der in den Handel gelangten Menge an Saatgut hatte Syngenta falsch berichtet. Nicht einige Hundert Tonnen, wie anfangs behauptet, sondern rund 187.000 Tonnen Genmais sind in die Nahrungskette gelangt. Auch in die EU wurde der nicht zugelassene Mais geliefert, räumte das Unternehmen inzwischen ein. Noch ein Grund, auf sicherere Ernährung aus ökologischem Landbau umzusteigen.

Nahrungsmittel: Nicht zugelassener Süßmais mit Antibiotika-Resistenzgen außer Kontrolle (30.03.05)

Nach Darstellung des Umweltinstituts München hat der Gentechnikkonzern "Syngenta" in den letzten vier Jahren "versehentlich" rund 187.000 Tonnen Genmais illegal in die Nahrungskette gebracht. Der Genmais mit der Bezeichnung "Bt10" enthalte Resistenzgene gegen ein Antibiotikum, das in der Behandlung von Menschen weit verbreitet sei. Der Mais sei zudem kein Futtermais für Tiere sondern ein Süßmaiss, der explizit für den menschlichen Verzehr gedacht ist. Syngenta habe auch über die Menge der in den Handel gelangten Menge an Saatgut falsche Angaben gemacht, schreibt das Umweltinstitut. Zuerst sei nur von einigen hundert Tonnen die Rede gewesen. Das Unternehmen habe sich zunächst auch nicht dazu äußern wollen, in welche Länder der Mais exportiert worden sei. Inzwischen habe es jedoch zugegeben, dass auch in die EU geliefert worden sei. Die Maislinie "Bt10" sei in keinem Land der Welt für den menschlichen Verzehr zugelassen, unterstrich das Umweltinstitut. Andreas Bauer, Gentechnikexperte beim Umweltinstitut München betonte, dass US-Behörden und Syngenta seit Monaten von der Kontamination wussten, ohne die Öffentlichkeit zu informieren. Er sprach von einem "Vertuschungsskandal ersten Ranges". Alle Maisimporte aus den USA müssten umgehend gestoppt und alle Produkte, in denen der Mais gefunden werde, müssten aus dem Verkehr gezogen werden.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

THE TRUTH IS OUT.

Dear Editor

Being concerned why Councils allow so many Telecommunication Masts (TM’s) in our communities I started asking the question “How much money does my Council (Tameside, Greater Manchester) receive from these mast being on Council land?” To my surprise my Council said “Out of the 85 masts at present in Tameside they get £199,629 a year in business rates that they then give back to Central Government who then re-distribute in the form of a grant to Local Government.

I was then interested into how much nationally would this total be and so I wrote to the Chancellor’s office under the “Freedom of Information Act” and was directed to the Government Valuation Officer in Manchester and what he relayed to me explained why this and every Government loves TM’s wherever they may put these masts.

In the UK there are 21,706 masts paying a Rateable Value and the total sum a year is a staggering £303,421,394. No wonder the Government encourages mobile phone companies to blight our communities with these masts.

The L.C.P are against masts in our communities and want to see such masts removed from housing estates, leisure centres, hospitals and most of all our schools NOW.

Informant: NHNE

The primary focus of the January and February Gauss Network meetings was a proposal to create a support group specifically for people who have chosen not to have cell phones. It is intended to be international and include anyone who for any reason opts out of mobile telephony, plus a sub-chapter for people who have been forced against their will to have a cell phone (by job, family, etc.) but would like to quit. There is a consensus that the primary focus should be on people with no cell phones because most have had to sacrifice relationships and many suffer tremendous social pressure, not to mention the physical torment some experience. The group would provide information and emotional support to people in their quest to be rid of these dangerous, enslaving, environmentally destructive devices.

The proposal was brought up by Mr. Yuzo Hidaka, who described his search for work in delivery services without a cell phone. He found a job under these conditions with one company, and was able to demonstrate that he could work more efficiently than drivers with cell phones, who tended to waste time chatting or texting and also suffered lapses of attention, for example, allowing the customer to walk off with registered mail chits while they answered their ringing phone. Public phones are becoming less frequent (I see them at intervals of 1 km along most major roads), but with careful planning, attention and a good memory for places (all of which may be diminished by cell phone use), a delivery driver can be more efficient without a cell phone. However, laws have changed in Japan recently, putting more pressure on companies to keep track of their delivery personnel, therefore they are likely to demand cell phone use, notwithstanding the recent big news that even hands-free use leads to increased occurrence of accidents and the fact that delivery vehicles are bigger, resulting in deadlier accidents.

Regarding the usefulness of cell phones in emergencies, Mr. Hidaka noted that when he called the police, they often didn't show up for twenty minutes or more. It seems they are often overwhelmed by cell phone calls, many of them frivolous. Other disadvantages include the high cost of dialing a cell phone number from a land line.

A big problem in Japan, and elsewhere, I imagine, is news bias. We hear about miraculous rescues, but failures or cases where a phone was used to facilitate a crime are downplayed. For example, in the aftermath of the Niigata earthquake last fall, cell phone service was lost to many places. One search was apparently delayed when loved ones assumed 'no news is good news,' but in fact there had been an accident but no way for the victim to communicate. Nonetheless, I know one lady whose family subsequently demanded she get her own cell phone "in case there is a big earthquake like the one in Niigata." Regarding children and cell phones, even if we discount the medical concerns, the devices can be a tool for criminals to use against the children. Recently, a young girl here was kidnapped and killed, and the unimaginably cruel perpetrator used the child's cell phone to send photos of the crime to the distraught mother. This was reported, but the wisdom of having children carry cell phones was never called into question. Regarding the emitted radiation, there have been cases of loss of control of wheelchairs, for example, resulting in a few fatalities, but this is not widely known. The anger of people who feel themselves to be physically affected is more widely known, but ascribed to neurosis.

Meanwhile every one of us without a cell phone has been asked repeatedly when we are going to get with it. Especially in Japan, but probably elsewhere too, you are considered selfish for being so inconvenient. If you say, "They give me headaches," people respond, "Well then why don't you have your child/spouse/roommate use one for you?" The government body overseeing mobile telephony has officially declared that there are no effects. That is the heart of the problem for us.

One person attending the January meeting has worked as a conductor on commuter trains in the Tokyo area. His job has included cautioning people not to use cell phones aboard the train. He has had fights three times, and just avoids people who look like they would cause trouble. Many of us have experienced this here. No matter how politely you approach people, they are so unaccustomed to being asked for understanding that they take your request as an attack and respond unpleasantly. I myself have tried providing such people a leaflet with information on why I am making such a strange request, but gave up when it became obvious that these were not read, but contributed to Japan's ubiquitous litter.

There is still some disagreement over what the Japanese name of the support group should be. Currently favored appears to be "Non Keitai" (keitai= cell phone). I have proposed "Union of Mobile Non-Users" which rolls off the tongue nicely, but if anyone has a better idea, please let me know. Other details have yet to be worked out. I will provide a translation later of Mr. Hidaka's call for people to join the group.

A different topic, which is now a focus of much debate in the media, concerns the effects of computer games on children. People have noticed effects all along, including lack of interest in studying at school. Recently certain kinds of violent crime have increased, and computer games are being blamed. One recent article in the Japanese press mentions that some see violence, withdrawal and other antisocial behavior as caused by TV games, but ascribes it to bad content of games, stressing the usefulness of computers in education. A second article discusses filtering the content. Computers are needed to some extent for participation in current adult society, but about 99% of school kids use computers and cell phones solely for games and entertainment. Regarding the psychological view that the content is what is causing the violence, this is very difficult to measure and leads to purposeless debating on whether humans are normally violent or peaceful at heart. Yet it is hard to avoid a sense of crisis on observing the effects of IT on children.

The amazing things power companies can get away with never cease to shock us. A new high tension line of 66,000 V is being constructed in Ome City, western Tokyo, on 12-meter pylons, resembling those used for household electricity supply. The lines will be a mere six meters above ground and will extend four km through a hilly semi-rural area, leading to protests of possible environmental degradation from the EMF.

There has also been news in Japan recently regarding electrical sensitivity, with specialists calling for "preventative measures against electrical hypersensitivity, a condition about which there is still little known." Diagnosis, it says, is difficult and many aspects of the causal relationship between electromagnetic radiation and symptoms remain unclear, but specialists are calling for prevention and countermeasures. One man is noted to have changed residence five times (in Japan, note there are significant financial barriers to changing residence):

"'I get a headache just from passing below power lines,' says tax accountant Mutsuo Sano (70) of Futtsu City, Chiba Pref. In 1993 he developed a burning chest pain of unknown origin, which persisted. He traveled in to Tokyo from his residence in Kamakura to seek medical care, but train travel also caused him pain. In 1996, an acquaintance suggested the possibility that it was due to electromagnetic radiation, and it clicked. He had been renting out the first floor of his house as a cafeteria and was living on the second floor, right above the commercial refrigeration equipment and fluorescent lighting. Just outside the window were high tension lines. 'I was exposed to considerable EMF through the floor,' says Sano.

"He has changed residence five times to try and escape from such an environment. He chooses his place to sleep at home based on the readings of an EMF meter. Last autumn, he settled into his current residence. He has found some relief from the pain, but as a preventative measure, he shuts off the electric power breaker before sleeping. Since he cannot use a personal computer because he feels the EMF, he works with a calculator. On the train, he boards cars with no motor under the floor, and in town, he keeps an eye open for overhead high voltage lines and avoids them.

"The term electrical hypersensitivity was coined in America in around 1990, but people were known to be affected by it before then."

There has also been more study on changes in blood flow in persons with EHS:

"The Kitasato Kenkyujo Hospital Clinical Environmental Medical Center (in Minato-ku, Tokyo), together with the Japan Posterity Fund (currently the Fund for Safety in Food and Lifestyle), investigated changes in blood flow due to EMF exposure. They chose five healthy persons and five others claiming symptoms of electrical hypersensitivity, and exposed them with no announcement of timing to EMF ranging from 16 Hz to 1 megaHertz. Only one of the healthy subjects showed any changes, but all of the subjects who'd been aware of their own sensitivity to EMF showed a decrease in blood flow at the times they were exposed to the EMF, with some showing a decrease of as much as 40%. Prof. Ko Sakabe of Kitasato University, who headed the research, says, 'There are still few cases and the scientific relationship between the changes in blood flow and the symtpoms is not well understood yet, but this may provide a basis for establishing a method of diagnosis.'

"With no standards for diagnosis except the patient's subjective awareness, EHS has been diagnosed in many cases as a psychological disease in which the patient 'imagines he is harmed by EMF' or treated as an autonomous nervous disorder. The symptoms also vary widely among sufferers, including headaches, chest pains, fatigue, lethargy, insomnia, trembling of fingers, palpitations, breathlessness, pains in eyes, nose or joints, dry skin, etc. Scientific journalist Takenori Ueda says that according to the Sweden's Association for Electrical Hypersensitvity, 'As of now the only ways of treating EHS are to avoid EMF and to rest. If you are aware of it, it would be wise to take precautions such as reducing of time you use electrical devices.'

"Tetsuo Kakehi, representing the citizens group 'Gauss Network, the All-Japan Network for Addressing EMF-related Problems,' which established Japan's 'Electrical Hypersensitivity Network' in 2000, says 'Of the 1000 or so members the Gauss Network, about 100 have EHS. There are no solid figures, but the number of people with EHS appears to be increasing.'"

A lot of really great research gets done in Japan. As I've noted before, this is a blessing in disguise of being politically powerless. If the powers that be don't have to worry about you, they don't have to bother trying to squelch you. I caught a snippet on TV about some university research into the phenomenon of people sensing the presence of unseen others. The research demonstrated that people can in fact feel changes in electrical voltage caused by muscular motion in the unseen person. They performed an experiment which showed that seven out of ten people could sense changes in electrical voltage of equipment nearby. They hypothesized that it was sensed via pressure receptors in the skin. The subjects reported a creepy feeling or sensation of fingers on their back. Hairy people are said to be more sensitive, but otherwise it is unclear why some are more sensitive than others. Some are so sensitive, they said, that they can identify unseen, unheard persons approaching them. The TV gave far too little information: voltages, Teslas, etc., and I missed the name of the university. But one thing is clear: the subjects were not being exposed to thermal levels of EMF.

The Gauss Network cooperates with other environmental organizations with similar focus, such as those opposing the insanity of building nuclear reactors in seismically active zones. In February, we were treated to a presentation about the Ladakh people of the high Indian Himalayas, the happiness they found in the old ways of life, which exhibited great wisdom, and the misery that modernization has recently imposed. They fall victim easily to advertising, which is aimed particularly at young men, so a counteractive measure has been established of sending a few of the young men to New York to see what the actual reality is behind the bright make-believe world of advertising. This has been successful, but people need to come together more because the task is so big.

For anybody visiting Japan, Gauss Network usually meets once a month on the third Saturday in the afternoon. For more information call them at 042-565-7478, e-mail: tez7@nifty.com, home page: http://www.gsn.jp/

Our new blog, "From the Field," is getting some attention. It's also ruffling some feathers.

A couple of weeks ago, Columns, the University of Washington alumni magazine, ran a cover story on Henry Lai's work on the health effects of microwave radiation and their possible implications to cell phones. You can read it at: http://www.washington.edu/alumni/columns/march05/wakeupcall01.html

The article begins by describing a phone call someone made to the NIH trying to shut Lai down soon after he found that microwaves could break up DNA. On our blog, we said that Bill Guy had made the call (see the March 11 entry).

A little background: Guy has --arguably-- been the most important establishment player in the microwave health controversy over the last 30 years.

A week later, we received an angry, three-page letter from Guy. "I most vehemently and unequivocally deny that I, or anybody that I am aware of, made any calls to NIH...," he wrote.

We went back to our files. Our conclusion is that we don't think that Guy's memory is serving him well.

But this is really a story about how the wireless industry has closed down health research in the U.S., while aggressively discrediting all findings suggestive of a risk.

Guy's letter to Microwave News and our response are posted on our Web site.

The American tradition of free speech is under attack across the country, as law enforcement agencies -- under the guise of the war on terror -- intimidate ordinary citizens into silence.

We can't count on restraint from people like Mr. DeLay, who believes that he's on a mission to bring a "biblical worldview" to American politics, and that God brought him a brain-damaged patient to help him with that mission.

As children, we were taught that the military protected us in times of war. We learned about soldiers being killed and wounded by 'the enemy', and how people died if they got shot or if a bomb landed on them. Sometimes innocent people got killed during a war, but the fact that most victims were civilians was carefully hidden from us by our elders.

Australians are as just as concerned about United States foreign policy as Islamic extremism and regard the US as more dangerous than a rising China, according to a new poll.
