Here is one we helped to get rid of! I only heard today that the council refused permission after careful consideration i.e. two press releases from Mast Sanity and several blunt letters to the council and landlord! More to do here though as they have 7 masts and one TETRA up and running!

Mast protesters stage soccer ground clash

By Bruce Smith

A CROWD of amateur soccer fans was confronted by demonstrators protesting over plans for a new mast for police mobile phones at a Leeds football club.

When Yorkshire Amateur FC played the final match of the season against Carlton FC at their Bracken Edge ground at Leeds, demonstrators backed by the national campaign group, Mast Sanity, turned out in force to protest at the plan for the 25-metre high Tetra mast.

Waving banners and shouting: "No More Masts," the demonstrators received a mixed response, including beeps of support from drivers, said local residents spokeswoman Jill Harland.

Residents believe the mast, which if approved would have nine antennae, could be a threat to the health of residents and in particular children. The mast is to be installed by Airwave 02 to provide the new police service communications system.

Mast Sanity claims it is being left to ordinary people, like the residents of Bracken Edge and the Roxholmes in Chapel Allerton, to protect their communities as best they can from masts. It has urged the Government to act on the Stewart Report, which highlighted the vulnerability of children to emissions from masts. Before the protest a spokeswoman, said: "If Yorkshire Amateur CFC want to build up support they'd be well advised to listen to what the community is telling them and refuse this Tetra mast."

"We want the football club to stop playing games with our health," said Ms Harland. "The score is already in the opposition's favour, but there comes a time when health is more important than wealth."
Evidence

If approved, the new Tetra mast will be the ninth such installation locally. "There is mounting evidence of ill health among communities living near masts," says Mast Sanity health and safety adviser Yasmin Skelt. "We need urgent action to control the number of masts."

Residents claim the backing of the Labour parliamentary candidate for the Leeds North East seat, Fabian Hamilton. Other candidates are: Jonathan Brown for the Lib Dems, Celia Foote for the Alliance for Green Socialism, and Matthew Lobley for the Conservatives.

Stop Canada's Cruel and Senseless Seal Hunt!
http://act.actforchange.com/cgi-bin7/DM/y/hfYq0IEmZM0PD50ybV0Ex

Nearly 1 million baby seals will be clubbed or shot to death in Canada in just three years. Shockingly, the hunt is subsidized by the Canadian government!

Every winter, Northwest Atlantic harp seals migrate to Eastern Canada to give birth and mate. Following their birth in late winter, mothers leave in search of mates, while the pups remain helpless and vulnerable on the ice until they can swim and catch their own food. It's during this time when they are most vulnerable that they are mercilessly slaughtered for their pelts!

Hunters armed with clubs and rifles will bludgeon to death hundreds of thousands of baby harp seals. About 96% 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. But the killing of baby seals doesn't make sense economically or ecologically, nor is it sustainable. It's simply a tragic slaughter of defenseless animals that benefits a small minority of boat captains armed with big ships, snowmobiles and even personal helicopters. This isn't about small town survival or tradition, it's an industrial killing machine for profit.

But Canada wants the media and public to believe that no one cares about the innocent blood spilled each year across the Gulf of St. Lawrence. This year's hunt will continue until the industry reaches its quota of 319,500 seals. That's why we must raise a public outcry.

Please tell the Canadian government that you do care and that this practice is unacceptable. We must show the Canadian Parliament that the rest of the world will no longer stand for this cruel and senseless hunt!

Indeed, Iraq is another Vietnam, and is taking our eyes away from other critical news: peak oil, global warming, species extinction, etc. There was never the time for this distraction, as will become clear over the next few years.

On Saturday, February 12, Sister Dorothy Stang, a 73 year-old American nun who had lived for more than 30 years in the Amazon rainforest, was assassinated. Dorothy had dedicated nearly half of her life to giving a voice to rural communities working for land rights and sustainable development in the Amazon rainforests.

Because of her advocacy, she often received death threats from unruly landgrabbers throughout the state of Para, an area plagued with violence resulting from ongoing land disputes and illegal logging.

Amidst international outcry over this tragedy, Brazil's President Lula da Silva recently ordered the creation of two massive new rainforest reserves http://www.ran.org/news/newsitem.php?id=1336&area=home totaling more than 9 million acres in the state of Para.

Investigation Finds "IMD" In Indonesia

JP Morgan Chase and BlueLinx linked to illegal logging of endangered forests and resulting humanitarian crisis.

http://www.ran.org/news/newsitem.php?id=1345&area=home

Ongoing investigations by Rainforest Action Network and Greenpeace confirmed that BlueLinx, America's largest building products distributor, is smuggling legally disputed, undocumented timber out of Indonesia's critically endangered rainforests and flooding the U.S. marketplace with artificially cheap lauan plywood. Bluelinx is funded by JP Morgan Chase, a US-based bank that has built its financial empire on making Investments of Mass Destruction.

An "IMD of the Month" case study published on DirtyMoney.org http://www.dirtymoney.org/studies/jpmc-bluelinx.php details the trafficking of undocumented wood by current BlueLinx suppliers throughout Indonesia.

Illegal logging throughout Indonesia continues to cause widespread devastation to the region's tropical rainforests and neighboring communities. Indonesian Ministry of Forestry reports that 43 million hectares of the country's forests have been damaged or destroyed over the last several decades due to illegal logging, with the average annual deforestation rate estimated at more than 2.8 million hectares (7 million acres) since 1998. These forests are some of the most biodiverse on Earth, and are home to a variety of threatened and endangered species, including the rare Indonesian orangutan. In addition, illegal logging has been blamed for massive flooding and landslides throughout Indonesia.

The ongoing devastation has been well-documented by the Indonesian Ministry of Forests, Yale School of forestry, Environmental investigation Agency, and Business Week Magazine.

RAN is calling on JP Morgan Chase and BlueLinx to immediately comply with a voluntary corporate embargo of Indonesian forest products already in place by Centex Corporation, International Paper and Lanoga Corporation.

You'd think that crossing the Arctic would be less dangerous in the summer. But in fact, thin ice and a warming climate make it far more treacherous.

On 13 May, explorers Lonnie Dupre and Eric Larsen will leave on a four-month unsupported expedition across the Arctic Ocean. Enduring shifting sea ice, these explorers will attempt one of the toughest feats in history. This journey however, is more than a story about heroism and adventure. Using skis and canoes, the team will cross the ice from Cape Arctichesky, Siberia, through the North Pole and onto Ellesmere Island, Canada, to document the impacts of global warming and highlight the threat it presents -- not only to the region, but to our entire planet.

While you may not be able to join Lonnie and Eric, you can still do your part to stop global warming. Watch for global action alerts at Greenpeace USA's website covering the expedition.

It sends to the associations of Neighbors a communication in which indicates that they have gone to the Minister of Health sending to him a letter, of whose content advances some paragraph. We cannot be removed two questions: * A priori negation of the evidences. * Tactics of resisted delay. ·A priori negation of the evidences: It says the Council of Health of the Community of Madrid that "... being an interrogative subject that provokes manifold and preoccupations in the population at national level, although the scientific community knows clearly criterion on the matter... "Who says that the scientific community knows clearly the criterion on the matter? Money could be saved the WHO, the European Community and hundreds of Institutions that continue their investigations. Which is the criterion of the scientific community on the matter? It is accepting the Community of Madrid, finally, the conclusions of the Declaration of Alcala of May of 2002; the conclusions of the Call of Freiburg - October 2002; the Conclusions of Professor Roger Santini, April 2004; the Conclusions of the Declaration of Helsinki - January 2005 when they alert of the nonthermal effects of the nonionizing radiations? Who form leaves from the scientific community to which the Council of Health of the Community of Madrid talks about? Presumed official investigators under suspicion to protect the interests of the companies (when it is necessary we give names) or the investigators that are related to excrupuloso detail in the Document answer to the "Study Epidemiologist in the school Garci'a Quintana" made by the Council of Health and Social welfare public (Castile-Leon) the 20 of November of 2001, elaborated from the parents of students of the Public School Garcia Quintana of Valladolid. To affirm that the scientific community knows clearly the criterion on the nonionizing radioactivity is a joy not at all scientist; it is an ignorance of the thousands of serious studies that refer injurious effects to us for the health, derivatives of the nonionizing radioactivity and of electromagnetic fields; it is to ningunear the pain many and, in any case... it supposes clear a supposed one of recusación: So that it helps us who a priori it gives by discounted which there is nothing on which to work... God frees to us of similar aid. ·Tactics of resisted delay. It says the Council of Health of the Community of Madrid that "... it could be interesting the design and beginning of a study epidemiologist at national level, at which from this Council we would lend the Maximal collaboration." Why a study epidemiologist at national level when zones next to antennas can be studied and to compare its data with zones of residence that they have more far or they do not have antennas in its tile roofs? Why a study epidemiologist long play when what is denounced it is that one is becoming ill and dying people? That they go to Móstoles and they see! The neighbors of Almaraz and the localities in surroundings of 40 km of the frontier Nuclear power station still are waiting for a study epidemiologist who takes a means and year delay more and, according to revealed Mercedes Milá in the Daily program of... a threat Nuclear power station, when he went to interview the Spokesman of the Nuclear Security Council, all we could verify that the assumption study epidemiologist still was in phase of planning. Ah, and a warning respect to the meeting with the Chief of a main directorate of Public Health. Who can lose minutes she could see the sad role that Secretary General played of the Ministry of Health, Fernando Lamata, in interview of Mercedes emitted Milá east Tuesday in Tele Five: It affirmed that in a Centre of Reference the substances were analysed that a cigarette contained and in the Centre of Reference it was recognized that they did not analyse but that three components. Conclusion: Good connoisseur of which he makes his Secretariat General and the dependent organs or a good occultation of the evidences. http://www.telecinco.es/dn_5200.htm To the Meeting of Castile and Leon ordered Judge to him Instructor of the case Garci'a Quintana of Valladolid that made a study epidemiologist. It was never made and the penal case was filed, even in spite of counting on a total balance of cases of infantile leukaemia not sufficiently known and on a balance cases of cancer in adults within the zone of influence of the antennas also not known. If somebody wants that truths are not hidden to him and asks for studies epidemiologists, we suggested before know the data the own ones interested so that nobody manipulates the results. If somebody asks for measurements it must be sure that that will measure microwatios/cm2 can quantify values with sensitivity of 0.01 and to know the difference between limits legally allowed by an obsolete and desconocedora legislation all whichever studies they have become from 1999, and limits over which already have been proven injurious effects for the health of the people. When the authorities request measurements or when they offer them the companies the only thing that are persecuted is to credit that it is within the effective legality, although that legality does not suppose security so some and as already the Report alerted in 2001 to the European Parliament of Doctor G.

The pipeline's end point, the oil terminal, will be built in Southwest Primorye that is a home to over a quarter of Russia's endangered species, including the Amur (Siberian) tiger and the 30 last remaining Amur leopards. The terminal will also threaten the Far East Marine Biosphere Reserve - Russia's only marine reserve with the status of UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.

Short audio excerpts C-Span2: EVIDENCE of US complicity on 9/11...STUNNING!

As I will relate at the end, most Americans seem to have been condition not to make time to learn what may really be going on in our country...unless, it has to do with Michael Jackson, Martha Stewart, and the like.

Last week there was a stunning program on C-Span2 were David Ray Griffin reported on parts of his book: "The 9/11 Commission Report - Omissions and Distortions" which provide EVIDENCE to the complicity of some aspects of our government in the planning of the 9/11 attack. To my knowledge, this is the first time such evidence is allowed to be presented on our main stream media. This, of course, also begs to question: "How come our press does not report such evidence? What is really going on!?

Below, are audio clip excerpt of the highlights of the 90 minute C-span2 program. They are 28 minutes long (compared to 90). I also included a 7 minute excerpt from John Lear, of Lear Jet fame, with testimony that collaborates with one of the evidence points Griffin presents. Below the excerpts is a link to the audio presentation of the entire C-span2 program.

I will conclude this by relating an incident that occurred with a fellow worker when I shared with her the disclosures presented on C-Span2. She only managed to get out a "Oh Wow!". When I said I would send her the link to the C-span program (before I made these excerpts), I alerted her that the link takes about 3-4 minutes to load, given that it is 90 min.long.

She replied by saying that, in that case, it is going to have to wait until she had nothing else to do before she listened!

I WAS STUNNED!

Here I am providing a US citizen with disturbing evidence about what, perhaps, could be considered a most alarming aspects of our government... which now had to wait until "she had nothing else (better?) to do"!

Does anyone wonder then, how it is that "the powers that be" can get away with something as unbelievable as complicity with 9/11?

You see, what she could not tie up was that, if covert groups in our government were willing to sacrifice the lives of 3,000 people on 9/11, what problems would they have getting rid of half, of not only our population, but that of our planet as well... if they deemed it necessary to hold on to their power?

The day after he won a second term in November, President Bush offered his view of the new political landscape.

"When you win there is a feeling that the people have spoken and embraced your point of view," he said, "and that's what I intend to tell the Congress, that I made it clear what I intend to do as president . . . and the people made it clear what they wanted, now let's work together."

Six months ago, this comment was widely viewed as more than just a postgame boast. Among campaign strategists and academics, there was ample speculation that Bush's victory, combined with incremental gains in the Republican congressional majority, signaled something fundamental: a partisan and ideological "realignment" that would reshape politics over the long haul.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush's plan to shore up Social Security by reducing promised benefits for all but low-income retirees is meeting resistance from some Senate Republicans, casting new doubt on Bush's top domestic priority, Republican aides and officials said.

A USA Today/CNN poll released on Monday also showed Bush with the worst approval-disapproval ratings of his presidency -- 35 percent to 58 percent -- on the Social Security issue. The proposal he backed last week for "progressive indexing" was opposed 54 percent to 38 percent. [...] Read the rest at:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military's operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have constrained its ability to tackle other potential conflicts, making any future war more likely to be longer and bloodier, according to America's top general.

In an annual classified report required by Congress, Air Force Gen. Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said stress on manpower and equipment could limit the ability to win other possible wars as quickly as the Pentagon had previously forecast, defense officials said on Tuesday.

Myers stated in the report that U.S. armed forces would "succeed" in any future major conflict but "may be unable to meet expectations for speed or precision." [...] Read the rest at:

There are two plans that Tesla had for providing energy. One for production and one for wireless distribution of energy. I will give a cursory explanation of each as I understand them. Tesla's plan for wireless energy was based on pumping AC current into the atmosphere polarized so that the return path of the current was through the air rather than through the ground. The way it was supposed to work was that the hot end of an electrical system in a building say, would be connected to the earth and the cold end would be connected to some sort of antenna which would drain the current off into the air thus making a complete circuit.

What is really interesting about Tesla's work though was some of the work he did Colorado on power generation. The basic premise was this: that the earth and the ionosphere were like the plates of a giant capacitor with the air in between acting as the dialectric. His theory was that if you could use a bolt of electricity to bore up through the air to the ionosphere then the current from the ionosphere would flow back to the earth because of its lower voltage potential (the ionosphere has a voltage potential of around 250 kilovolts and the earth has a voltage potential of a few thousand at most). Once the hole was made in the atmosphere current would continue to flow until it was interrupted or the potential voltages became equalized. It has been recently observed that lightning in fact does this. The ionosphere is constantly recharged by the solar wind so the supply of electricity would be virtually unlimited. Apparently he was successful, but his financier at the time (it was either Morgan or Westinghouse) was outraged because he thought there would be no way to meter and sell it, so he sent some goons to the lab and they destroyed it. Wireless electricity would actually be just as easy to meter as wired, all you would have to do is put a meter on the return antenna. (It would however be a small matter to build one's own unmetered return antenna...)

On your second point about the spraying of biological and toxic agents, there were several fairly well documented incedents in the 60's where the CIA did "experimental" releases. One was from a ship off the west coast near San Francisco where they released bacterial aerosol from a ship basically to see if it could be done. I believe that 11 people died and hundreds became ill IIRC. I'll see if I can find some links.... There were also incedents in New York and Florida and people died there as well. The bacterial agent they used was not super lethal and not particularly contagious. Thet were just "testing" you see...

The strains imposed by the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have made it far more difficult for the U.S. military to beat back new acts of aggression, launch a pre-emptive strike or prevent conflict in another part of the world, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff concluded in a classified analysis presented to Congress today.

It was late September when the 21-year-old man, fresh from a three-week commitment in a psychiatric ward, showed up at an Army recruiting station in southern Ohio. The two recruiters there wasted no time signing him up, and even after the man's parents told them he had bipolar disorder - a diagnosis that would disqualify him - he was all set to be shipped to boot camp, and perhaps Iraq after that, before senior officers found out and canceled the enlistment.

Since Operation Iraqi Freedom began two years ago, the Department of Defense reports that more than 1,500 U.S. soldiers have died and more than 11-thousand American troops have been wounded. Among the most debilitating wounds are traumatic brain injuries. One of the nation's leading brain treatment centers is the Veteran's Affairs hospital in Palo Alto, California. Within the confines of the sprawling VA campus, veterans of World War II and the Vietnam war work on rehabilitation alongside returning soldiers from Iraq and Afghanistan.

Many religious people are, no doubt, reacting against what they perceive as the triumph of subjectivism, relativism, and nihilism in various aspects of popular culture. But in celebrating their own isolation from that culture, they make possible the further alienation of young people from a world that demands their rational engagement. Worse: the embracing of instrinsicism, which inculcates a faith-based adherence to moral 'absolutes' regardless of context, is no genuine alternative. Humane values are passed on to children and young people by appealing to their growing, yet delicate, rational faculties. Reason is the only legitimate alternative to faith and force. And teaching children to use their minds is the surest way to raise healthy and happy adults...

45 days. That's all the time that passed between the attack on the World Trade Center and President Bush signing into law the USA PATRIOT Act. With little dissent, and even less actual debate, federal law enforcement agencies managed to get a huge laundry list of long coveted new powers. How did they manage to avoid debate? Besides the excellent timing of the request, many of the most intrusive measures were couched as temporary provisions needed only for the present emergency, and it was promised that they would expire at the end of 2005. Of course there was never any intention of actually letting those expirations happen...

Government-funded researchers tested AIDS drugs on hundreds of foster children over the past two decades, often without providing them a basic protection afforded in federal law and required by some states, an Associated Press review has found. The research, funded by the National Institutes of Health ... was most widespread in the 1990s as foster care agencies sought treatments for their HIV-infected children that weren't yet available in the marketplace. The practice ensured that foster children -- mostly poor or minority -- received care from world-class researchers at government expense, slowing their rate of death and extending their lives. But it also exposed a vulnerable population to the risks of medical research and drugs that were known to have serious side effects in adults and for which the safety for children was unknown...

Airline passengers soon will be asked to provide their full names and birth dates when they buy tickets, information the government says it needs for a new computerized screening system. The Bush administration is moving ahead with plans to implement the system, called Secure Flight, even though concerns about privacy and other issues raised in a congressional investigation have not been fully addressed. A limited rollout of the program is set for later this year. As part of the Transportation Security Administration's effort to implement Secure Flight, the agency will, within weeks, require airlines to solicit passengers' full names and birth dates. Passengers do not have to provide it, but if they don't there's a better chance they'll have to undergo more stringent screening at the airport, said Justin Oberman, the TSA official who heads the program. Oberman said having passengers' full names and birth dates will make it less likely that they'll be confused with people who are known or suspected terrorists."[Editor's note: Gee, how about fingerprints and a retina scan?-MLS]

Vor Ratifizierung: Ungewöhnlich scharfe Kritik wegen EU-Verfassung (09.05.05)

Am kommenden Donnerstag wird der Deutsche Bundestag über die Ratifizierung der EU-Verfassung entscheiden. Es wird eine breite Zustimmung erwartet. In der Union wollen nach Angaben des CSU-Europapolitikers Gerd Müller etwa 20 Abgeordnete von CDU und CSU mit Nein stimmen. Vertreter der deutschen Friedensbewegung nannten die Informationspolitik der Bundesregierung "skandalös". Die Regierung würde "schönen, lügen und verschweigen". Besonders empörend sei die Weigerung der etablierten Parteien, eine Volksabstimmung über die EU-Verfassung zuzulassen. Gerade wenn landauf landab beklagt werde, dass in der Bevölkerung der europäische Einigungsgedanke unterentwickelt sei, wäre es gut gewesen, eine öffentliche Debatte über den Verfassungsvertrag in Gang zu setzen, meint der Bundesausschuss Friedensratschlag. Dessen Ansicht nach entwickelten Bürgerinnen und Bürger nur dann ein Interesse an Europa, wenn sie über "grundlegende Weichenstellungen der europäischen Politik" mitentscheiden dürften. Währenddessen hätten in Frankreich "Demokratie und Transparenz gesiegt", weil auch über die neoliberalen und militaristischen Aspekte der Verfassung offen und breit gesprochen worden sei.

NCADP Death Penalty Update - May 2005 Issue

NEWS

Death sentences reached modern-day low in 2004

The number of people sentenced to death last year fell to the lowest level since the Supreme Court reinstated the penalty in 1976. There were 125 people sent to death row in 2004, down from 144 the previous year and the sixth consecutive annual decline, according to figures compiled by the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. In 1998, 300 people received death sentences. To read a complete article about this trend, go here: http://www.demaction.org/dia/organizations/ncadp/news.jsp?key=1376

Nonetheless, Connecticut prepares for first execution in more than 40 years

The state of Connecticut is preparing for what would be the first execution in Connecticut since 1960. Michael Ross, who suffers from documented mental illness and is dropping his appeals and asking to be executed, is scheduled to be put to death May 13. In response, activists are traveling to Connecticut from across the United States to participate in a fast and vigil in protest of the execution. The combination fast/vigil will begin on Sunday, May 8. For more information, go here: http://www.dontkillinmynamect.org/

Victory in New York!

Thanks to skilled lobbying and an outpouring of grassroots activism, abolitionists in New York have withstood efforts to reinstate the death penalty! Now it's time to thank the state legislators who made this happen. If you would like to write a letter to New York State Assembly members, please go here to find out how you can help: http://www.quixote.org/ej/

SUPREME COURT WATCH

The U.S. Supreme Court is again on recess. No opinions will be released until at least Tuesday, May 17.

RESOURCES

Lawyer and Professor David Dow, who directs the Texas Innocence Network, has penned a highly recommended new book entitled Executed on a Technicality: Lethal Injustice on America's Death Row. Here's a brief description:

"When David Dow took his first capital case, he supported the death penalty. He changed his position as the men on death row became real people to him, as he came to witness the profound injustices they endured: from coerced confessions to disconcertingly incompetent lawyers; from racist juries and backward judges to a highly arbitrary death penalty system.

"Dow's eye-opening book is captivating because he allows the men, and their cases, to speak for themselves. For instance, one inmate's lawyer literally slept through his trial; another inmate was executed because the jury never heard from two eyewitnesses who swore he was no the murderer; and yet another inmate was allowed to represent himself at trial despite the fact that his mental imbalance, which included attempts to issue a subpoena to Jesus Christ, was evident."

"LobbyControl": Neue Initiative will über Machtstrukturen und Lobbygruppen aufklären (04.05.05)

Seit Montag möchte eine neue Initiative im Internet für mehr Transparenz und Demokratie sorgen. "LobbyControl" beschreibt sich als zivilgesellschaftliche Initiative, "die über Einflussnahme auf Politik und Öffentlichkeit und über gesellschaftliche Machtstrukturen informieren will". Ausgangspunkt sei "die Analyse, dass Unternehmen, Wirtschaftsverbände und neoliberale Denkfabriken und Eliten immer stärkeren Einfluss auf Politik und Öffentlichkeit nehmen". Ab und zu würden einzelne Affären wie die Nebeneinkünfte von Abgeordneten "Schlaglichter in die Grauzonen politischer Einflussnahme" werfen, schreiben die Kritiker. Aber es gebe zu wenig kontinuierliche und systematische Aufklärung.

"Auch hierzulande, wo Journalisten nicht unmittelbar in Gefahr sind, ist die Presse nicht frei." Dies schreibt die "Journalistinnen- und Journalisten-Union" (dju) anlässlich des Tages der Pressefreiheit. Wie frei und offen können Journalisten überhaupt über die Beschränkung der Pressefreiheit oder über die Einschränkung der Arbeit von Journalisten schreiben, wenn sie feststellen, dass auch hierzulande die Presse nicht frei ist? Der Journalistenverband löst das Problem, indem er auf die Rechte der Medien verweist und sich hinsichtlich der Arbeitsbedingungen von Journalisten in Andeutungen ergeht. Genau genommen, beschreibt der Verband eher die Beschränkung der Freiheiten der Journalistinnen und Journalisten und weniger die der Medienkonzerne.

Pestizid-Rückstände im Essen haben wir schon lange satt. Und wer sich ein bisschen mit der Thematik auseinandersetzt, weiß: Die Belastungen im Obst und Gemüse steigen weiter an. Wirklich empfehlenswert sind nur Bio-Produkte. Der Anteil von Bio-Produkten am Markt wächst, macht jedoch insgesamt nach wie vor einen kleinen Teil aus. Jährlich werden in Deutschland rund 30 000 Tonnen Pestizide auf die Äcker gebracht.

Die EU-Kommission will nun den Einsatz von Pestiziden neu regeln. Dazu gibt es eine Umfrage im Internet, an der alle Betroffenen teilnehmen können. Die Ergebnisse der Umfrage fließen in die neue Strategie zur nachhaltigen Nutzung von Pestiziden mit ein. Wir sind der Meinung, dass so viele Verbraucher wie möglich an der Umfrage teilnehmen sollten, obwohl der EU-Fragebogen ziemlich kompliziert gehalten ist.

Unsere Bürgerinitiative hat sich seit dem Jahr 2000 wegen der gesundheitlichen Folgen des Mobilfunks an den Petitionsausschuss des Deutschen Bundestags gewandt:

Am 24.04.00 haben wir unsere erste Petition eingereicht (Pet 3-14-09-275-021869), die unbefriedigend beantwortet wurde am 24.05.00. Am 15.08.00 haben wir deshalb unsere Forderungen konkretisiert und haben dann in schöner Regelmäßigkeit Schreiben bekommen, dass die Angelegenheit noch nicht abgeschlossen ist.

Am 16.03.01 haben wir aufgrund der aktuellen Situation weitere Forderungen nachgereicht, und der Petitionsausschuss hat regelmäßig geschrieben, dass die Prüfung noch nicht abgeschlossen sei. Am 11.10.01 wurde uns mitgeteilt, dass verschiedene Eingaben gemeinsam behandelt werden sollen, und zwar unter Pet 2-14-18-275-021869.

Am 04.03.02 haben wir nochmals unsere Forderungen aktualisiert und erweitert. Diese Erweiterung wurde unter der letzten Nummer integriert.

Am 14.06.02 haben wir darauf hingewiesen, dass wir nun schon zwei Jahre auf eine Entscheidung warten, und als Sofortmaßnahme handyfreie Zonen in öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln fordern.

Die letzte Meldung des Petitionsausschusses zur Pet 2-14-18-275-021869 stammt vom 15.10.03: "die Ihrer Eingabe zugrunde liegende Problematik konnte leider noch nicht abschließend behandelt werden. Ich werde Ihnen das Ergebnis so bald wie möglich unaufgefordert mitteilen." - Anschließend war Schweigen.

Nachdem wir gesehen haben, dass der Oettinger Bauer Friedrich Stengel ähnliche Erfahrungen machte, habe ich eine Bundestagsabgeordnete eingeschaltet und sie gebeten, aktiv zu werden. Das Ergebnis ihrer Recherche war, dass inzwischen 153 Petitionen zu diesem Thema vorliegen und dass nicht abzusehen ist, wann der Petitionsausschuss das Verfahren abgeschlossen hat. Und erst wenn dies geschehen ist, kann über eine parlamentarische Initiative etwas getan werden! Im Gegensatz zu anderen parlamentarischen Bereichen gibt es für die Beantwortung von Petitionen übrigens keine Fristen.

Damit blockiert der Petitionsausschuss mögliche parlamentarische Initiativen für bessere Gesundheitsvorsorge beim Mobilfunk! Ein Gremium, das nicht handlungsfähig ist und seit nunmehr fünf Jahren das Thema nicht abschließen kann, sollte wenigstens nicht andere Aktivitäten verhindern!

Warum wohl werden diese Petitionen auf gut bayrisch "ausgesessen", bis die Petenten entnervt aufgeben? Für mich ein Lehrstück der bundesdeutschen Demokratie und ihrer Abhängigkeit von Wirtschaftsinteressen!

A friend has come to me and asked me to speak to his son about joining the military. I have known this kid since he was small. He is just as I was at that age. Bright, but bored and feeling as if he'll be damned if he will spend one more day seated in a classroom listening to another lecture, studying for a quiz, writing a paper, or reading a book that he couldn't care less about. He wants action! Adventure! To see what he is capable of and what his limits are. The mechanics of death don't scare him, they attract him. Ares' bile tastes sweet to his lips. I know these things from experience. So, what the hell do I tell him? That he may have to kill? That he may be captured, injured, or killed? That he could end up having experiences and memories that will haunt and depress him the whole rest of his life? He doesn't believe this is possible in his heart and never will until he discovers for himself what the reality of war is. However, then it will be too late...

We know what role the U.S. government is already playing: they are arresting journalists, treating them as if they were 'insurgents.' Dorrance whines that we are losing 'badly' the 'war for hearts and minds' because Iraqis are watching all this. But so what if they're watching? One might think the wide dissemination of evidence of the insurgents' savagery would likely dispel support for their cause. It seems passing strange that Bremer's main media adviser doesn't get this, but then again the Americans don't seem to get a lot of what's going down in Iraq. No wonder we're losing the battle for hearts and minds. That a former newsman is now openly calling for censorship -- not only of al-Jazeera but also of U.S. news-gathering operations -- is the sort of outrage that passes unnoticed these days, along with so much other dangerous nonsense...

Debatten der real existierenden Gewerkschaften: Gefesselte Riesen

Die Wirtschaftskrise bringt nicht nur das Kapital in Schwierigkeiten, sondern fordert auch die Gewerkschaften heraus. Artikel von Jeannine Geißlerin in sopos 4/2005
http://www.sopos.org/aufsaetze/426ffd00396d3/1.html

Selbstverständnis der Gewerkschaften - die Zukunftsdebatte

Viel zu passiv gegen den Crashkurs

Organisationen, die Jahrzehnte Konsenskultur und Gremienarbeit gepflegt haben, müssen wieder lernen, wie man die Köpfe und die Herzen gewinnt. Plädoyer eines Gewerkschafters von Wolfgang Müller in Freitag vom 29.04.2005
http://www.freitag.de/2005/17/05170501.php

Aus dem Text: "…Die Londoner Financial Times vergleicht den momentanen Generalangriff auf Einkommen, Sozialversicherungen und Arbeitnehmerrechte mit dem Crashkurs Maggie Thatchers vor 20 Jahren. Damals wurde der britische Sozialstaat zerschlagen und die Macht der "Trade Unions" gebrochen. Diese prinzipielle Herausforderung wird von den deutschen Gewerkschaften immer noch nicht begriffen - weder im Kopf noch im praktischen Handeln. Statt aus bürokratisierten Apparaten wieder kampagnen- und konfliktfähige Organisationen zu machen, die eigenen Ziele neu zu formulieren und in die Öffentlichkeit zu bringen, werden gewerkschaftsinterne Sparprogramme als schlechter McKinsey-Aufguss exekutiert. (…) Derzeit können die Gewerkschaften nicht ernsthaft behaupten, für die über 30 Millionen abhängig Beschäftigten in Deutschland zu sprechen. Das nimmt ihnen niemand ab. Sie haben die Autorität verloren, das schlimmste Elend und die schamloseste Ausbeutung anzuprangern, weil die Menschen in den prekären Jobs, die Illegalen und die Marginalisierten in den Gewerkschaften keine Fürsprecher mehr haben. (…)

Was tun die Gewerkschaften für die Arbeitslosen, die Sozialhilfeempfänger - für alle, die aus der festen Beschäftigung in einem Mittel- oder Großbetrieb herausfallen? Praktisch herzlich wenig. Kampagnen, in denen man/frau mitmachen kann, gibt es nicht…."

Den DGB "erneuern"? Aus den DGB-Gewerkschaften austreten? Vor allem selbständig kämpfen! Den Klassenkampf innerhalb und außerhalb der Gewerkschaften vorbereiten und organisieren! Ein Diskussionsbeitrag der GewerkschafterInnen und Antifa gemeinsam gegen Dummheit und Reaktion im Flugblatt Nr. 8 vom Mai 2005 (pdf)
http://www.labournet.de/diskussion/rechten/allg/nr8.pdf

Aus dem Text: "…Daher betonen wir mit besonderem Nachdruck den Zusammenschluss der fortschrittlichsten Kolleglnnen innerhalb und außerhalb der Gewerkschaften für den selbstständigen Kampf. Letztlich geht es darum, Raum zu bekommen zur selbständigen Organisierung des Klassenkampfes und zur gemeinsamen Diskussion über die Ziele und Grenzen unseres Kampfes im Kapitalismus. Innerhalb und außerhalb der Gewerkschaften geht es nicht nur darum, wie der tagtägliche Abwehrkampf richtig geführt werden muss, so wichtig und unerlässlich das ist. Die wichtigste Debatte muss darum gehen, dass wir und wie wir ein für allemal die bestehenden ausbeuterischen Verhältnisse beseitigen können."

„Handys retten Leben“ aus:

"Nützt oder schadet die mobile Kommunikation?"

Der Nutzen von Handys wird oft übertrieben dargestellt. Manchmal wird sogar behauptet, sie würden im Falle von Unfällen und dergleichen Leben retten. Wie aber sieht die Wirklichkeit aus? Bei einem Unfall ist es das Wichtigste, erste Hilfe zu leisten, den Verletzten richtig zu lagern, Blut zu stillen, Erbrochenes abzusaugen, ihn zu beatmen. Erst dann kommt die Alarmierung der Ambulanz, und es ist egal, ob dies von einem Handy oder einem Festnetzanschluss aus geschieht. Sie kommt deswegen keine Minute früher.

Wieso findet ein Ambulanzfahrer den Patienten nicht, in einem kleinen Dorf, wo jeder fast jeden kennt? Schon beim Anruf kann man sagen, dass die Häuser nicht der Reihe nach nummeriert sind. Jemand stellt sich eventuell an den Strassenrand und weist dem ankommenden Fahrer den Weg. So ging das, als es noch kein Handy gab und auch noch kein Twixroute. Die Autotür zu öffnen, Passanten nach dem Weg zu fragen, an einem Haus zu klingeln oder das Zweiklanghorn einzuschalten, hat man im Handyzeitalter schon verlernt. Man ist schon so handy-geschädigt.

Feuerwehren müssen ein Dispositiv vorlegen und sich per Funk verständigen, ähnlich wie die Polizei. Ein Feuerwehrkommandant, der sich aufs Handy verlässt, handelt grobfahrlässig. Denn zückt jeder, der irgendwo Rauch sieht, egal ob in einem Dorf oder auf der Autobahn, das Handy, kann das Netz zusammenbrechen. Alles schon geschehen. Im Brandfall ist das Handy viel zu wenig sicher. Die Verletzlichkeit der Technik haben wir in den vergangenen Wochen und Monaten schmerzlich und zur Genüge miterlebt!

Ähnlich ist die Situation in vielen anderen Bereichen des Alltages. Man hat früher ohne Handy gut gelebt, und alles hat funktioniert, manches besser als heute. Bei den Handys geht es vor allem ums Geschäft für die Netzbetreiber. Sie machen dieses mit Leuten, die in der Badi, im Restaurant, im Zug, ja überall so eminent „wichtige“ Telefonate führen, wie im Doppelstockzug im Bahnhof Bern beobachtet: „I stah uf dr Stäge und gly gaht d`Türen uf.“ Richtiger gewesen wäre: „I ha's Handy am Ohr und 's Muul gaht uf und zue." Tausende von Handys wurden den Leuten gratis nachgeworfen. Man weiss ja, wie gern die Leute etwas gratis bekommen. Es muss unbedingt eine Antenne her, Kinder wollen einander SMS-Botschaften senden, wenn möglich sogar im gleichen Zimmer. Wundert sich wer, wenn gesundheitlich Betroffenen ob so viel Gedankenlosigkeit und Egomanie die Galle hoch kommt? Auf diese Art werden Kinder nicht zur Solidarität, sondern zum Egoismus regelrecht erzogen.

Nützt oder schadet die mobile Kommunikation?

Mein Handy leistet mir viele wertvolle Dienste; aber ich kann mir vorstellen, dass die Warner vor dem Elektrosmog schon ein wenig Recht haben. Ist der Schaden, den man davontragen kann, wirklich so gross, dass er auch bei sinnvollem Handy-Gebrauch den Nutzen übertrifft? Einer solchen Abwägung bin ich noch nirgends begegnet. Und trifft es wirklich zu, dass Mobilfunkantennen so schädlich sind?
Fritz W., CH-6500 Bellinzona TI

Hinweis

Das Textatelier hat Ihre Frage an Leopoldine E. Gaigg in CH-4814 Bottenwil AG weitergeleitet, die das Sekretariat der Schweizerischen Interessengemeinschaft Elektrosmog-Betroffener schwungvoll führt ( http://www.gigaherz.ch ) und aus einemreichen Wissensfundus und Erfahrungsschatz schöpfen kann.

Antwort

Der Schutz der Gesundheit der Bevölkerung zählt nicht; das ist grotesk, aber wahr. Nicht umsonst wehren sich landauf, landab Zigtausende gegen die aufgezwungene drohende Verstrahlung ihres Lebensraumes. Sie wenden, sofern sie es überhaupt vermögen, erhebliche finanzielle Mittel für Anwalts- und Gerichtskosten auf oder geben, falls das Unheil schon eingetreten ist, Unsummen für Arztkosten und Abschirmungen aus. Eine neu etablierte Industrie macht damit gute Geschäfte. Die Krankenkassenprämien explodieren, werden bald einmal für den Normalbürger unbezahlbar. Da Geld die Welt regiert, sitzt die Industrie stets am längeren Hebelarm. Die Politik lässt die immer grösser werdende Zahl Betroffener schmählich im Stich. Wer heute gegen ein Antennenprojekt einspricht, kommt selten wegen gesundheitlicher Bedenken zu seinem Recht. Chancen hat höchstens Landschafts-, Ortsbild- oder Denkmalschutz.

Prävention, Eigenverantwortung?

Diese wird stets gepredigt. Jeder kann zwar selbst entscheiden, ob er raucht, Alkohol trinkt, ob und wie lange er vor dem PC oder dem Fernseher sitzt, ob er Auto fährt, gesund lebt, Sport treibt usw. Er kann auch das Handy benutzen, wie Sie es tun, oder es sein lassen. Aber die Strahlung einer Antenne, die man ihm vors Haus setzt, muss er völlig unfreiwillig ertragen, ist ihr rund um die Uhr und Jahr für Jahr ausgeliefert.

In der Schweiz, ja europa- und weltweit, leiden Betroffene überall unter den gleichen Gesundheitsbeschwerden, und alle erst seit der Einführung der Mobilfunktechnik. Die Strahlung kann man nicht sehen, hören, riechen oder schmecken. Bekämen die Menschen davon grüne Haare, so mancher würde grosse Augen machen.

Handys als Spielzeug

Als Spielzeug sind Handys so ungeeignet wie Schnaps als Getränk für Kinder und Jugendliche. Viele Eltern (und Lehrer) wissen immer noch nicht, in welchem Ausmass die Handystrahlung ihre Kinder gefährdet. Ihr Nervensystm ist noch unvollständig ausgebildet, die Hirnschale dünner, und die Strahlung dringt tiefer ein. Die Blut-Hirnschranke öffnet sich und transportiert Eiweissverbindungen und Gifte ins Gehirn, mit allen negativen Folgen (Quelle: Prof. Leif Salford, Lund-Universität). Das weiss man entweder nicht oder will (soll!) es gar nicht wissen.

Kinderleukämie und Hirntumore

Das gehäufte Auftreten von Kinderleukämie und Hirntumoren in Spanien hat zur Abschaltung von über 2000 Antennen geführt; weitere stehen auf der Liste. Anders als bei uns, wo die Bestrahlung des Volkes in einer völlig unzureichenden, ja misslungenen NIS-Verordnung geregelt und diesem von Staates wegen aufgezwungen wird, können in Spanien Bürgermeister, Vorsteher von Provinzregierungen und Richter eine Abschaltung und den Abbruch von Anlagen anordnen. Bei uns machen sich Gemeinderäte für den Bau einer Antenne stark, nicht bedenkend, dass sich die momentanen Vorteile als Bumerang erweisen könnten. Kranke, arbeitsunfähige Menschen zahlen keine Steuern, durch Wertverminderung von Liegenschaften gibt es weitere Steuerausfälle.

Zuerst schiessen, dann zielen!

Industrie und Politik spielen mit dem Ruf nach immer neuen Studien auf Zeitgewinn. Aber die Erfahrungen (siehe oben) sind längst da. DNA-Brüche verursachen Missbildungen von Embryonen und bilden die Vorstufe zu Krebs, das zeigt die von der EU beauftragte REFLEX-Studie. Immer noch keine Ursache für einen Marschhalt und eine Denkpause? Nein, denn es kann nicht sein, was nicht sein darf!

Wäre der Mobilfunk ein Medikament, er wäre längst verboten. Aus den negativen Erfahrungen mit Asbest, FCKW, Contergan etc. hat man nichts gelernt. Zuerst wurde eine Technologie eingeführt, deren Schädlichkeit (vielleicht) erst hinterher untersucht wird, nicht umgekehrt! Es geht ums Geld, nicht um die Volksgesundheit.

Dazu gibt es in der Schweiz 3 unabhängige Netze, zwecks Konkurrenz, die gar nicht stattfindet, da sich die Preise kaum unterscheiden. Würden aus Konkurrenzgründen das Eisenbahnnetz, die Autobahnen, die Wasserversorgung usw. an 3 Lizenznehmer vergeben, hätten wir je 3 Eisenbahn-, Autobahn-, Wasserversorgungsnetze. Wer darüber nachdenkt, greift sich wahrscheinlich ziemlich irritiert an den Kopf!

Die Schweizer Grenzwerte

Oft hört oder liest man, die Schweiz habe die besten Grenzwerte Europas. Das ist eine der grössten Schummeleien, die dem Volk je präsentiert wurden. Die Wahrheit: Die willkürlich auf 1/10 heruntergesetzten Anlagewerte (auf 4-6V/m) gelten nur in Kinder-, Kranken- und Schlafzimmern und auf öffentlichen Kinderspielplätzen. Schon auf Terrassen, Balkonen, in Hausgärten, auf privaten Kinderspielplätzen, auf dem Feld, wo der Bauer arbeitet oder der Gärtner, gelten sie nicht mehr. Dort darf mit 40-60 V/m gestrahlt werden. In Basel z.B. können deshalb viele Mieter ihre Terrasse nicht mehr benützen. „Die Grenzwerte sind eingehalten“, wiederholen die Netzbetreiber mit der Beharrlichkeit einer Gebetsmühle. Die ersten Gesundheitsbeschwerden (Schlafstörungen) treten jedoch schon bei Feldstärken auf, die um das Hundertfache unter den so gelobten Anlagewerten, also bei 0,04 V/m liegen. Seriöse Forscher haben dies in breiten Untersuchungen (epidemiologischen Studien) festgestellt. Ausländische Mobilfunkbetreiber freut die Forderung nach Einführung der Schweizer Grenzwerte. Im Inneren von Häusern werden diese nämlich auch dort nirgends überschritten, und sie müssen kein Schräubchen ändern. Messungen haben das bestätigt.

Gesundheitsschädigung – alles nur Einbildung?

Die bekannt gewordenen Gesundheitsschädigungen sind keine Einbildung, denn die Schäden zeigen sich auch bei Kleinkindern und Tieren. Sogar Hühner, die aus menschlicher Sicht und menschlichem Überlegenheitsgefühl als dumm gelten und mit Sicherheit keine Zeitungen lesen, brüten infolge der Strahlung häufig keine lebensfähigen Nachkommen aus. Kühe leiden unter Euter- und Gelenkentzündung, verwerfen oder bringen missgebildete Kälber zur Welt, und alles erst, eindeutig belegt, seit dem Betrieb einer nahen Antennenanlage.

Viele Menschen wussten oder wissen sogar heute noch nichts von der Existenz einer Antenne und daher auch nicht, wem sie ihre Beschwerden "verdanken". Leidende Menschen nun zusätzlich als Psychopathen abzustempeln, bedeutet, jemandem, der schon am Boden liegt, einen weiteren Fusstritt zu versetzen. Keiner soll sich in falscher Sicherheit wiegen, denn es kann ihn schon morgen selbst erwischen!

Wer sich ein Schnurlostelefon im DECT-Standard kauft, stellt sich eine strahlende Mobilfunkantenne ins eigene Heim und gefährdet seine Gesundheit massiv. Aber er wird beim Kauf nicht darüber aufgeklärt. Auch hier: Hauptsache der Rubel rollt.

In welcher Gesellschaft leben wir eigentlich? In einer, in der jeder nur auf seinen eigenen, oft nur vermeintlichen Komfort setzt, wo Solidarität zu Recht ein Fremdwort ist? In einer Spassgesellschaft, wo man vor Problemen, die schon morgen auf uns zukommen, heute lieber die Augen verschliesst und die Lösung der nächsten Generation überlässt? Ob uns diese dannzumal für die desaströse Hinterlassenschaft und die fragwürdige Erziehung zu Konsumenten ohne Verantwortungsbewusstsein, Menschlichkeit und Solidarität dankbar sein wird?

Ich rate Ihnen, Ihren Handygebrauch unter diesen Kriterien sehr kritisch zu überdenken, zumal der moderne Mensch noch nie zuvor mit Festnetzanschluss, Anrufbeantworter, Fax und E-Mail besser erreichbar war als heute. Jeder müsste sich eigentlich die Frage stellen, ob er sich freiwillig ans elektronische Gängelband legen und sich wie ein Diener jederzeit herbeiklingeln lässt.

We congratulated to the association ' Antennas with fronteras' and denounced the disloyal conduct of the Mayor and the Delegation of Ávila towards the affected ones. We took advantage of to now enclose to a this good new article written from the Association Against Injurious Radiations of L'Escala (AVECORN) seventeen months ago (16/12/2003) avecorn@hotmail.com First Digital Newspaper of Ávila Ávila, 29 Fridays April of 2005 Society Justice ordered to the City council its elimination Retire a telephony antenna 8 months after the sentence Two great cranes began yesterday to retire the antenna of movable telephony of Pleasant Movable Retevisión in Horcajo of the Towers (Ávila), eight months after a sentence of the Superior Court of Justice of Castile and Leon ordered its demolition and dismantling because econtraba "illegally constructed". The association Antenna with Borders, impeller of this measurement, has shown its satisfaction. The spokesman of the association ' Antennas with fronteras', Alvaro Ortega, has shown his satisfaction by the conclusion "successfully" of a process that has extended during four years. The origin of the conflict was the situation of the antenna within the urban helmet and to less than 30 meters of the patio of the school of the municipality. The sentence of the TSJ of Castile and Leon insisted to the City council of the locality, that granted city-planning license for the rise of the station of movable telephony, to dismantle the antenna before August of 2004. Antennas yes, but far Ortega showed that the antenna could be located outside the urban helmet, in "a municipal parcel located in the highest zone of the town", next to the linen factory, that tells on an electrical attack for the antenna less than 200 meters. Debate in the courts the Superior Court of Justice of Castile and Leon rejected the resource of appeal interposed by the company Amena Movable Retevisión to avoid the dismantling and demolition of the antenna, to which it considered "constructed illegally". This way, the dictation by the Contentious Court of the Administrative thing of Ávila was ratified then, that partially considered the resource interposed by five neighbors of Horcajo of the Towers against the telephony station. Previously, a court already considered the dissability of the work license granted by the City council of Horcajo of the High Towers the 11 of May of 2001, that authorized the installation of a telephony station, a tower of 40 meters of height, located in kilometer 23 of the Highway of Madrigal of the High Towers, the Av-129, to the company Amena Movable Retevisión. Patricia Garci'a ALIVE Oak grove pgarcia@aviladigital.com HORCAJO, STILL In spite of ITS MAYOR and the DELEGATION OF ÁVILA When reading this morning the news at issue, I have rebelled myself in certain way because the manifestations of the Mayor of Horcajo of the Towers one comes off a clear intention that it lines the disrespect and announced breach of a judicial Resolution, that surely has needed the much patience, effort and rage that is possible to guess in the neighbors of Horcajo of the Towers. The Resolution of the Judge has been based on right and has decided that the criteria that handle the technicians of the City council are not absolutely correct, that those that does not handle to the Meeting of Castile-Leon and the Delegation of Ávila either. The city-planning infractions are manifest and clearly objective and objetivables. Before them it must receive from this moment Mr. Fructuoso Corona warning of which of not fulfilling Sentencia and, therefore, applying his city-planning planning, it will be incurring the prevarication crime, just as all those tècnicos his that nowadays maintain criteria clearly surpassed by the jurisprudence and which they only maintain those that are aquejados of síndronme of Stockholm, respect to operadras of movable telephony. On the other hand, he is possible to warn to Ilustre Mayor who the legality is not question if more or less councilmen vote a municipal resolution, since if is vitiated of invalidity the only thing that will be able to have is not intentionality to break the laws or a bad skill of the municipal technicians informants, but of no way the possibility of granting illegal licenses by the fact to have more or less a Councilman that he supports the agreement that grants a permission illegal. And inasmuch as one talks about his excuse of which Sentencia does not allude to the damages to the health derived from the action of the station bases, is not of receipt that the pain much, muchisima people, is used to light the unfounded ones, bases, nor interest to obtain a data that is to disposition of all that that it wants to approach the same one. The damage to the health that is derived from the emitting action of electromagnetic fields is unquestionable to the light of innumerable studies, that is idle to reproduce for that beforehand no longer they will agree to read them. The same it is used to happening with the judicial organs, since when working following the schemes of the procedure inquisitorio leads back their function namely what the plaintiff and in what requests laws bases his pretension; what says the demanded one and to verify if it disassembles to the arguments of the part plaintiff; to ask for tests; to listen to experts; to study the conclusions to that the two parts in heddle arrive and to dictate Sentence. And in the chapter of the test always it has ready readier than they defend of partial way and shameless to the demanded part, or are the operators or the Administrations that have granted licenses nonfit to Right. And that defense becomes authorized skill when that signs and affirms, with more presumable than certain dose of scientific knowledge, that the emissions are within the limits of the legality and that the studies epidemiologists, doctors or scientists they still are in an embryonic state, do it from the púlpito of the officiality: Institute Carlos III, Ministry of Health or, of health Kafkiana way, speaking from a degree of Superior Engineer of Telecommunications. To the Judge it is necessary to present/display doctors to him, experts in health, experts in electromagnetism, professional psychiatrists informed and worried about a constant formation, that not always will come to them from the Instructions of the Ministry of Health, but about the resistance about studies and more international studies... To the judges it is necessary to go with the personal medical files of the affected ones and with the doctor who has treated to the patients convinced of the suitability and possible connection cause-effect between the emissions and the sufferings. While that is not possible, by ignorance, ignorance or apathy of many specialists and doctors of temporary family who could know first hand the space connection and which the signatory doctors of the Call of Friburgo subscribe, the Judges will not become expert self-taughts person of all the bases and scientific evidences that attend to us. For that reason, we blinded ourselves in defending the way of the legality and fulfillment of the city-planning laws like more effective way, at the present time, to achieve a judicial success. And if the administrative authorities do not fulfill the sentences its attitude will be constituent of the crime of judicial disobedience. LET US DEMAND THE FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW: CITY-planning And The CONSTITUTION THAT HAD TO PROTECT OUR HEALTH, PRIVACY And OUR HOMES. Let us study the future legal of our actions and act consequently.

The Socialist case for the environment

Rivers are polluted, forests razed, pristine wilderness sacrificed all the name of profit. Living in Los Angeles, we see everyday the smog and pollution that results from the lack of a rational transportation system in America's second largest city. How long can the wrecking of our planet continue? The doomsday predictions concerning the environment can seem overwhelming, especially when we see how determinted companies are to maintain their profits even if it means destroying the very basis of human life on the planet.

Socialist are for a society that puts human need over corporate greed, that doesn't see "environmental concerns" as seperate from human concerns. Come to the next meeting of the ISO to discuss how we can build a movement that could stop the corporations from destorying the planet.

Vorwort zur Broschüre

Dokumentierte Gesundheitsschäden unter dem Einfluss hochfrequenter elektromagnetischer Felder (Mobilfunkanlagen, DECT, WLAN u.a.)

22 Kasuistiken

Herausgegeben von Dr. C. Waldmann-Selsam, Dr. U. Säger, Ärzteinitiative Bamberger Appell

Diese Berichte zeigen, dass Menschen seit Jahren durch gepulste hochfrequente elektromagnetische Felder oft schwer erkrankt sind ohne dass die behandelnden Ärzte die Ursache erkannten. Daher litten und leiden Menschen, die zu Hause oder am Arbeitsplatz der Hochfrequenz ausgesetzt sind und erhalten keine Therapie. Die entscheidende Therapie ist: Beendigung der Exposition!

Die in den Medien ständig wiederholte Bewertung der Strahlenschutzkommission, es gäbe keinen Nachweis für Gesundheitsbeeinträchtigungen unterhalb der gegenwärtig geltenden Grenzwerte, hat dazu geführt, dass die meisten Ärzte (ich selbst auch bis vor 1 Jahr) bei den vielen unklaren Krankheitsbildern einen Zusammenhang mit der Hochfrequenz nicht in Erwägung zogen. Die Ärzte wissen nicht, dass an keinem einzigen Mobilfunkstandort in Deutschland Erhebungen des Gesundheitszustandes der Menschen durchgeführt worden sind! Dass die im Jahr 2001 vorgenommene Bewertung der Strahlenschutzkommission also keine wissenschaftliche Grundlage hat.

Die gerade ausgewerteten ärztlichen Erhebungen in Oberfranken bei 356 Personen unter häuslicher Langzeitbelastung belegen:

- Die gepulsten hochfrequenten elektromagnetischen Felder (von Mobilfunkanlagen, von schnurlosen DECT-Telefonen u.a.) führen zu einem neuen, bisher unbekannten Krankheitsbild mit charakteristischem Symptomenkomplex.

- Die Menschen leiden an einem, mehreren oder vielen der folgenden Symptome:

Schlafstörungen, Müdigkeit, Kopfschmerzen, Unruhe, Benommenheit, Reizbarkeit, Konzentrationsstörungen, Vergesslichkeit, Wortfindungsstörungen, depressive Stimmung, Ohrgeräusche, Hörverlust, Hörsturz, Schwindel, Nasenbluten, Sehstörungen, häufige Infekte, Nebenhöhlenentzündungen, Gelenk- und Gliederschmerzen, Nerven- und Weichteilschmerzen, Taubheitsgefühl, Herzrhythmusstörungen, Blutdruckerhöhung (anfallsweise), Hormonstörungen, nächtliches Schwitzen, Übelkeit.

- Schon ab 10 µW/m² erkranken viele Menschen.

- Die Symptome treten in zeitlichem und räumlichem Zusammenhang mit der Exposition auf.

- Es handelt sich keineswegs nur um subjektive Befindlichkeitsstörungen. Rhythmusstörungen, Hörsturz, Visusverlust, erhöhter Blutdruck, Hormonstörungen, Konzentrationsstörungen u.a. sind objektiv nachweisbar.

- Ein Teil der Gesundheitsstörungen verschwindet nach Beendigung der Exposition (Entfernung DECT-Telefon, vorübergehender Ortswechsel, dauerhafter Ortswechsel, Abschirmung) sofort.

Daraus folgt:

Der Ausbau muss sofort gestoppt werden.

Mobilfunkanlagen, in deren Umfeld Menschen mit mehr als 10µW/m² belastet sind, müssen abgeschaltet werden. DECT-Telefone müssen umgerüstet werden.

Betroffene, Angehörige und Ärzte werden sich gemeinsam mit aller Kraft engagieren.

Wir müssen es schaffen.
