The National Union of Journalists and the Blair government are planning a "launch" ceremony, at which they will announce their "partnership". According to John Fray, the NUJ's deputy general secretary, this collaboration will "promote awareness among journalists of the issues that surround the struggle against poverty on a world scale... We want to help the media to tell it like it is." In a glossy letter to NUJ members, Fray says that joining hands with the government is "enhancing the understanding of the need for a positive approach to international development amongst those who report and comment on the issues…” For this "positive approach," the government is paying the journalists' union 80,000 pounds. What a bargain price for the principle of independence from power....

Failing an increasingly elusive military victory against the Iraqi resistance, the American public is looking for any excuse to cut and run. Revelations of systemic torture of innocent civilian detainees by American troops at Guantánamo, Abu Ghraib and Bagram provide a perfect reason for immediate withdrawal. There are neither WMDs to find nor hearts and minds to win, so why the hell are we there?

The US and its allies are caught between the much vaunted democracy on the one hand and the exposed hypocrisy of allowing only those to be part of elections and power who suite their interest on the other.

TAKE BACK AMERICA

Campaign for America's Future | http://www.ourfuture.org

Last week, thousands of patriotic Americans gathered in Washington DC to discuss our progressive movement's vision for a stronger America, and to outline the concrete steps we can take together to build it. The crowd was electric, the speeches were inspirational, and many - like us - left with a renewed sense of the power we have collectively to transform our country.

Most of the major speeches, behind the scenes footage and radio interviews from Take Back America 2005 are now available online. We hope you'll take a look.

http://action.ourfuture.org/ctt.asp?u=1742757&l=95856

At the end of Take Back America 2005, Bill Moyers reminded us that "what matters isn't what is said in Washington, but what you do across the country to carry on this movement for social and economic justice." With that conviction, we reach out now - to solicit your thoughts on how we can best work together to translate our progressive vision for America into reality.

We want to hear from you. What are your priorities? Where do you think progressives can and should be doing more? What kinds of actions will you take to help transform America? Share your thoughts and help shape the direction of our shared Campaign for America's Future.

http://action.ourfuture.org/ctt.asp?u=1742757&l=95857

Our movement is of, by and for the people and it's your ideas and energy that will carry us forward. We look forward to your thoughts and to continuing our work together to take our country back.

Jedes Jahr verenden mehr als 300.000 Delfine, Tümmler und Wale ungewollt in Fischernetzen - weit mehr Tiere als den Harpunen der Walfänger zum Opfer fallen. Nach Einschätzung des WWF ist der so genannte Beifang inzwischen die größte Bedrohung für die Meeressäuger. Viele Kleinwalarten sind dadurch vom Aussterben bedroht, zu diesem Ergebnis kommt eine jetzt vorgelegte WWF Studie. Besonders betroffen sind der Kalifornische Hafenschweinswal, der Schweinswal in der Ostsee und die asiatischen Flussdelfine im Mekong, Ganges oder Yangtse Fluss.

RESIDENTS have reacted angrily to plans for a mobile phone mast in the heart of their Chester community.

Phone company Vodafone wants to install a 12-metre mast and equipment box at the junction of Victoria Road with Victoria Crescent, which is next to Chester Business School.

But people living in and around the area say they are concerned about the health implications of the base station, as it is officially called, and also the impact it would have on the area, which is under a conservation order.

Vodafone staff are in a pre-consultation period with residents about the plans, but it looks certain the phone company will be receiving only objections.

John Hughes, 70, who has lived in Victoria Court for five years, said: “I am very worried about the health effects of these masts. No-one has proved they are safe, and after reading reports that children who live near pylons are more likely to get leukaemia, you do start to wonder.

“Because we have a college here, there are a lot of young people walking about. And they would have to pass that pole every day. I am very worried for their health. I cannot think of a more unsuitable place for it.”

L. G. Bennion, 71, of Victoria Crescent , said: “I have already written to Vodafone about my displeasure. If it was built I would be able to see it from my garden. It is not going to be very nice to look at.

“This is a conservation area. I find it extremely difficult to get planning permission for things I want to do on the house, so it would be very upsetting if Vodafone could put a mast up here without any trouble.”

College Ward Labour Cllr Sandra Rudd, deputy chairman of the city council’s planning board, echoed the residents’ comments. “I personally feel it’s too close to homes and would be inappropriate in a conservation area,” she said.

“I’ve asked that Vodafone look at other sites or link up with the Microconnect system which is used successfully in the city centre by BT and is designed to be shared by mobile phone operators."

But Jane Frapwell, electromagnetic field adviser for Vodafone, said: “The Microconnect system is a complimentary device. It does not replace the need for base stations. We always try to be sympathetic to the areas we plan to put our stations in. If it is an area of outstanding beauty, we try to make sure the visual impact is lessened. But people need base stations to use their mobile phones.”

A LEADING campaigner is lobbying the European Parliament for new research into phone masts.

Formby protester Eileen O'Connor discussed independent research funding with European director generals in Brussels.

Professor Olle Johansson from Sweden and Dr Gerd Oberfeld from Salzburg, who would head the research, believe they can prove masts are dangerous.

As Salzburg 's government director, Dr Oberfeld secured the lowest radiation levels in the world.

His controlled experiment found people were effected when situated 18 metres from masts. He now aims to discover long-term effects such as cancer.

Eileen O'Connor founded anti-mast pressure group Radiation Research Trust after recovering form cancer three years ago.

She said: "He proved without a doubt that it caused severe disruptions to the brainwaves and they all got symptoms such as headaches, nausea and sickness."

Dr Johansson has spent 30 years studying "non ionising radiation", succeeding in reducing high level radiation transmitted from early computer screens.

Eileen is now in talks with John F. Ryan, Luxembourg 's director general for health and consumer protection, about possible funding.

FERNHILL residents are outraged at a proposal to site a mobile phone mast near to Cathkin Primary and Fernhill private school.

One concerned resident, who does not want to be identified, said that the plan had angered many in the community, especially as the mast would be so close to schools.

At this stage South Lanarkshire Council has received a pre-planning application from the T-Mobile group which only intimates an interest in the site.

However, if T-Mobile choose to take their plans further and they are approved then the mast would go up on Burnside Road not far from Cathkin Primary School, Fernhill School, and a new housing development.

Norman Boyd, chair of Rutherglen Community Council, said that they were firmly opposed to plans for more masts.

He said: “The community council’s view is that far too many of these masts are going up. We are doubtful about the radiation factors but we cannot object on these grounds.

“There’s a rule in it somewhere that we can’t object on health and radiation grounds. The only objection that we could have is that it’s near a school or old folks’ home.

“We are not scared that one mast does damage but of the number of masts that are going up around Rutherglen.”

A spokesperson for South Lanarkshire Council confirmed that they had received paperwork from T-Mobile.

The spokesperson said: “A pre-application notification from agents acting on behalf of T-Mobile has been received for a mast on Burnside Road. This is common practice and alerts local authorities to areas where telecommunications companies are considering applying for planning permission.

“Should the company decide to proceed we would expect to receive a full planning application in due course.”

Lanarkshire

CAMBUSLANG residents are opposing a plan to erect a new mobile phone mast - which will be hidden inside a bowling club’s flagpole.

Houses in Grenville and Stewarton Drives, beside Kirkhill Bowling Club, have been leafleted over the past few days informing them of T Mobile’s plans for the area.

Already, a petition against the mast has been handed to the bowling club, with about 100 signatures gathered in a very short time.

Protestors have also written to Members of the Scottish Parliament, as well as local MP Tommy McAvoy, and intend to e-mail councillors on South Lanarkshire Council’s planning committee before they meet to decide on the issue next month.

A concerned Stewarton Drive resident said: “Because of an application to build a 3G mobile phone mast within 50 metres of my home, I sought support from my neighbours to oppose the installation.

“These neighbours also live dangerously close to the mast. I was amazed at the universal fear and concern expressed on the health risks.

“I gained almost 100 signatures in a very short time.

“The latest National Radiological Protection Board report acknowledges that more research is required and that there is growing evidence of biological effects from the rays emitted by these masts.

“The new 3G masts have been linked to negative effects on brain function. The report acknowledges that a minority of the general population may be ‘hypersensitive’ to the energy beams from the masts.”

The protestor pointed to quotes from Michael Clarke, radiation expert at the Health Protection Agency (NRPB).

Mr Clarke said: "We feel we should discourage prolonged use of mobile phones. Our view is that it is sensible to take a precautionary approach to mobile use, especially in the very young.”

The Stewarton Drive resident continued: “The Government recommends children less than eight should use mobile phones only for emergencies.

“The mast, which is at a similar height to the bedrooms of the surrounding houses, will expose the occupants to beams 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

“I estimate that 50 per cent of those living within 100 metres of the mast have children of pre-school or primary school age - the age group that NRPB state are most at risk.

“T Mobile cannot tell me what other sites they have assessed before selecting this site in the middle of a residential area.

“There are alternative sites more remote from houses where the mast could be placed but they probably incur extra expense for T Mobile.”

To examine peoples’ concerns about mobile phone masts, the Government set up the Stewart Committee which reported in 2000.

The protestor continued: “This proposed mast does not have to be built, the risks, however small, do not have to be introduced to this residential area.

“As the Stewart Committee suggested, a precautionary approach should be adopted. We would suggest that prudent avoidance would be a better approach in our residential area.

“The health and well being of those who play at Kirkhill Bowling Club will also be put at risk, as they also will be subjected to the energy beams from the proposed mast.

“High-spirited youths have been known to trespass on the bowling green and it is believed that they flew underwear on the flagpole.

“A proper fence will be required round the flagpole to prevent youths shinning up the flagpole and getting fried.

“The field behind Grenville Drive or the pathway across the field at the top of West Coats Road seem more appropriate locations.“

Anyone looking for more information on the protests should e-mail mash_the_mast@yahoo.co.uk.

ANGRY parents fighting to stop a phone mast being erected next to a primary school are calling on all residents to write to North Ayrshire Council and object to the plans.

The campaigning residents have formed a group, SAYNO2O2 and want to stop the 15 metre high 3G mast being put on ground along from Lawthorn Primary School.

They have already written to every parent of children at the school asking for support and now want Irvine Herald readers to sign up and write to the council’s planning team.

They have mounted a letter on a website for residents to print off: http://hometown.aol.co.uk/sayno2o2.

10:30 - 09 June 2005

Legal experts have been called in to investigate whether the mobile phone mast at St Edward's RC Primary School in Coleshill can be pulled down in light of concerns over safety.

Warwickshire LEA bosses have ordered the authority's solicitor to begin an urgent investigation into the deeds of the land on which the mast stands, which was sold to British Telecom by the council 11 years ago.

News of the action was announced on the day mast protestors delivered an informal health survey to the school which appears to show that 98 per cent of pupils are suffering from health problems including headaches, nausea, itchy eyes, tiredness or nosebleeds.

County education officer Eric Wood said: "We are concerned at the issues being raised, in particular legal aspects to do with the use of the land on which the mobile phone mast is situated.

"We are asking the county solicitor to investigate as a matter of urgency because the legal and health and safety concerns of the parents must be treated seriously and dealt with as promptly as possible."

The survey, carried out with parents of 200 children at the school, was not sanctioned by Warwickshire County Council, although it is believed no objections were raised to it being circulated to parents.

But the findings have been seen by headteacher, Gillian Owen, who issued a statement to the Herald saying she shares the concern of the parents and supports them in their campaign to have the mast removed.

"They are leading this effort allowing me to concentrate on the busy day-to-day task of running a successful school. "I look forward to hearing of the developments but am not taking an active part in the group that is looking at this serious issue," she said.

The survey was prepared by mast protestors Jackie Slater and Geraldine Canavan with advice from physicist Dr John Walker - who worked with action group SCRAM in their successful fight against the Wishaw mast.

Scientist Anne Silk, who learned of the survey results in a meeting on May 27, is now presenting the findings to a meeting of the World Health Organisation in Geneva on June 15, to call for a national effort to study the health of every child whose school is close to a phone mast.

Shoreham Today

RESIDENTS are ready to go into battle to stop a mobile phone mast being put up outside their homes in north Shoreham.

T-Mobile wants to build an 11.7-metre 3G mast and transmitter on a small plot of land on the east side of Downsway, at the junction of Upper Shoreham Road .

Rod Hotton, of Downsway, who is leading the anti-mast campaign, said: "This is a case of profit before people.

"The proposed mast would be too close to properties and to one of the main routes for children attending local schools, Buckingham Middle and Shoreham First.

"Children and the elderly are believed to be especially vulnerable to the effects of such transmissions.

"From my house opposite, it will be taller than a lamppost and totally obtrusive."

Mr Hotton has already put up posters and notices, objecting to the mast, in Downsway since he found out about the plans on Friday.

He received a notice through his door from Adur District Council about the application and has since been galvanising his neighbours and residents into action.

Mr Hotton said: "According to current regulations, these mobile phones companies don't need planning permission to put up masts which are under 15 metres.

"But this is not a suitable site. There are other areas in north Shoreham where it could go.

"We are urging everyone in the area to object to Adur council, but we have only three weeks to do it, so the clock is running."

A public meeting was being held at Mr Hotton's home last night to put together a campaign to fight the plans.

An Adur council spokeswoman said the application was due to go before Adur's planning committee on July 4.

This is Bristol

BY KIRSTY PUGH K. PUGH

11:00 - 09 June 2005

Bristol Zoo has unveiled plans to allow a mobile phone mast to be installed in its grounds. Bradley Stoke-based mobile firm Orange wants to put the transmitter on top of a building near the zoo's reptile house, near the Northcote Road entrance.

The zoo says it will consider comments from neighbours before making a final decision.

But some visitors the Evening Post spoke to about the plans questioned the zoo's suitability as a site for a mast. Despite assurance from the industry that the masts are safe, doubts remain over their potential health effects.

Preliminary drawings posted outside the zoo show that the transmitter would be located on top of a building not used to house animals, behind cladding to minimise the visual impact the tall structure may have. Zoo spokeswoman Heather Holve, said: "We can confirm that we have been contacted by Orange about putting a mobile phone transmitter within our walls.

"We have sent out letters to all the local residents and have posted copies of the plans outside the zoo.

"Things are still at a very early stage at the moment, and depending on the views and opinions of local people the zoo will consider renting space to Orange ."

Orange spokesman, Richard Bryman, said: "In an arrangement with the zoo, a full planning application will be submitted to Bristol city council's planning department in the near future.

"The transmitter site has been proposed because Orange has identified a weakness in the local network coverage.

"The proposed site will increase coverage within the zoo and the surrounding areas. All calls made on mobile phones are routed through transmitters, which are designed to be very low powered and have a very short range.

"If they are too far away from where people live and work then they are of little use."

When the Post spoke to visitors at the zoo, Sarah Ubhi, a 34-year-old mother of two from St Andrews, said: "I would protest about it if it came down to it, as I don't think it is suitable, especially when there are children around.

"There are also the animals to consider - we don't know how it would harm them having to live there the whole time."

Catherine Wilson, aged 28, from Bishopston, said she might reconsider her zoo membership if the plans go ahead.

She said: "The zoo is a lovely place to visit, and this would not be good for the environment.

"If there is any potential risk then it should be avoided especially as there are children and young families involved.

"When the decision is made I will have to think about whether to renew my membership."

Before I posted this story, I wrote a letter to the local paper in Bristol urging all animal lovers to protest and fight the planning application. I just hope they print it. I have also emailed the zoo.

Dear Bristol Zoo

I was shocked to read that you are considering allowing a phone mast on your premises. Please do not allow any phone masts in or near your zoo - for the sake of the animals and the visitors health and safety.

The reports below are just a tiny sample of the mounting evidence of adverse health problems related to mast and phone emissions. It is so important to provide sanctuaries that are free from radiation emissions in this increasingly polluted world.

Please do not alienate those of us who are electrosensitive and those who wear hearing aids and other sensitive medical aids which are known to be affected by masts.

Animals may be even more sensitive than humans to pulsing microwave radiation emissions, please do not risk their health.

Scientists serious about 'electricity sickness' claims

Reports by Nic Fleming, Health Correspondent

(Filed: 24/01/2005)

Scientists and health advisers are taking the claims of people who say electricity makes them ill seriously for the first time.

The National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) is carrying out a review of existing scientific studies into "electromagnetic hypersensitivity" (EHS).

Brian Stein suffers from electromagnetic hypersensitivity

Click here for his story:
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;sessionid=E0CMT53CZW1TXQFIQMFSM5OAVCBQ0JVC?xml=/news/2005/01/24/nelec124.xml

Two studies into the condition, funded with £750,000 from the Department of Health and the telecommunications industry, are already under way.

Sir William Stewart, the government's adviser on radiation, has called for more research into the issue.

Some researchers believe a proportion of the population suffers ill health, with symptoms including fatigue, severe headaches and skin problems, because of exposure to electromagnetic fields.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/connected/main.jhtml;sessionid=E0CMT53CZW1TXQFIQMFSM5OAVCBQ0JVC?xml=/connected/2004/04/07/ecnrad31.xml
Other scientists say there is no evidence.

The Swedish government, which recognised EHS as a physical impairment in 2000, calculates that 3.1 per cent of its population – 200,000 people – suffer from the condition. A recent warning by Sir William, head of the NRPB and the Health Protection Agency, that parents should limit their children's use of mobile phones received widespread publicity.

However, his suggestion that another section of the population, as well as the young, could have extra sensitivity to exposure to either radio frequency fields from mobiles or electromagnetic fields in general did not.

The NRPB has commissioned Dr Neil Irvine, of the Health Protection Agency, to carry out a review of existing scientific literature on EHS.

His report, focusing on symptoms, prognosis and treatment, will be published in the summer.

The Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research programme, funded by the Government and the telecommunications industry, is spending £8.6 million on 29 studies, two of which will investigate EHS.

A team at King's College, London, is looking at whether mobile phones cause symptoms such as headaches, nausea and fatigue in those who claim to be hypersensitive and those who do not.

Researchers at the University of Essex are exposing two groups of volunteers to signals from a mobile mast to test if cognitive functions such as attention span and memory are affected. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml;sessionid=E0CMT53CZW1TXQFIQMFSM5OAVCBQ0JVC?xml=/news/2004/12/13/nmast13.xml
Half will be people who say they suffer EHS.

Dr David Dowson, a former GP who is now a complementary medicine specialist based in Bath, said he had seen around 10 patients he believed to be suffering from EHS. "I think the condition is increasing in prevalence, because we are living in a more electrically polluted environment."

Olle Johansson, associate professor of neuroscience at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden, has been studying EHS for 20 years.

He has shown in experiments that there is an increase in the number of mast cells near the surface of skin when exposed to electromagnetic fields, a similar reaction to that when it is exposed to radioactive material.

He said: "If you put a radio near a source of EMFs you will get interference. The human brain has an electric field so if you put sources of EMFs nearby, it is not surprising that you get interference, interaction with systems and damage to cells and molecules.''

Others say the condition is in the mind.

Researches Find Mobile Phones Can 'Excite' Antigens
http://omega.twoday.net/stories/482104/

From Judy Tidwell

If you have noticed an increase in skin rashes or allergic reactions to dust mites and pollen, your cell phone may be to blame. In what researchers called surprising results, a study indicates radiation emitted by mobile phones may increase allergic reactions.

Dr. Hajime Kimata from Unitika Hospital, Kyoto, Japan believes microwaves emitted by mobile handsets can 'excite' antigens - substances which cause allergic reactions - in the bloodstreams of people who already suffer from allergies.

Dr. Kimata tested 52 people who had a history of allergies. They all watched a one-hour video -- half of them while talking on their mobile phones and the other half with their phones turned off.

"When we did blood tests we found that the mobile phones had raised the levels of certain chemicals in the blood which provoke allergic reactions such as eczema, hay fever and asthma," Kimata said. "We were surprised but we carried out a properly controlled study. One group of patients had their phones turned on and receiving for an hour while they watched a video. The second group watched the same video while having their phones turned off so they couldn't receive calls. There was a significant increase in allergy levels which seemed to be linked to the use of mobile phones."

Further testing indicated that the group using mobile phones also had greater skin reactions when exposed to house dust mites or pollen from cedar trees.

Previous testing of mobile phones has resulted in contradictory claims concerning their affect on the health of their users. In a British study two years ago, researchers could find no evidence that mobile phones cause any risks to health, but recommended caution in using handsets, especially for children.

Earlier this year, researchers in Sweden claimed that mobile phones could damage key brain cells and trigger the early onset of Alzheimer's disease. Radiation from mobile phone handsets appeared to damage areas of the brain associated with learning, memory and movement in laboratory rats.

Dear Sir/Madam

I write to express my overwhelming concern in relation to an article appearing within the Evening Post concerning proposals to erect a mobile phone mast within the grounds of Bristol Zoo. Can I strongly suggest that in order to ensure that as an organisation concerned with the health and well being of animals and in particular those animals within your care that you only agree to such a course of action once you are in full possession of all relevant facts.

I suggest that the provision of factual and unbiased information by mobile phone operators such as Orange is unlikely and remind you of the multi million pound annual turnover of these companies who rely on persuading land owners such as you to accept their base stations with typical tie in contracts for ten years.

Using the analogy that once ink has been put to paper the buck rests with you, can I ask if you are aware of the research papers written by acclaimed scientists that SHOW DIRECT ADVERSE EFFECTS IN ANIMALS FROM PULSED MICROWAVE RADIATION AS EMITTED BY MOBILE PHONE BASE STATIONS.

Early studies of adverse effects in animals include Löscher & Käs (1998), which recorded recorded reduced milk yields, emaciation, spontaneous abortions, abnormal behaviour patterns, conjunctivitis, heart failure and stillbirths in cattle when kept close to a base station. When cattle were moved away from the base station their condition and milk yields improved. The severe symptoms reappeared when the cattle were moved back to their original field beside the base station. The symptoms only appeared when microwave transmitters were added to an existing television transmitter. Löscher and Käs also report the profound affects experienced by the farmer and his family since the microwave transmitters were installed. Löscher postulates that the effects are connected to changes in melatonin levels. Abelin (1999) looked at adult sheep disturbance with RF exposure at Schwarzenburg, Switzerland. Alpeter et al (1995) tested bovine salitary melatonin at the same location. Turning the transmitter off revealed significant rises in bovine melatonin and human sleep quality. The biological effect of proximity to a base station is reinforced by a study of fecindicity in mice near an ‘antenna park’ Magras and Xenos (1997) which states ‘RF power densities between 168 nW/cm2 were measured. Twelve pairs of mice divided in two groups, were placed in locations of different power densities and were repeatedly mated five times. One hundred eighteen newborns were collected. They were measured, weighed and examined macro and microscopically. A progressive decrease in the number of newborns per dam was observed which ended in irreversible infertility’.

Whilst aware that in 2002 English Nature commissioned a review of this subject, additional research papers have been written after this date and include studies by Professor Semm in August 2002, who was previously employed by Deutsche Telecom and Dr Alfonso Balmori Martinez whose papers include ‘The effects of Microwaves on the trees and other plants’, recently published in the peer reviewed journal ‘Ecosistemas’ (Spain) and ‘The effects of microwave radiation on the wildlife’ which includes for research carried out in the United Kingdom., published in March 2004, December 2003 and February 2003. English Nature accepting the limitations of the original study have in December 2004 asked the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology to examine the additional reports of adverse effects.

I can also advise that DEFRA in their letter to me dated 10/09/04 agree 'there are some areas of uncertainty that might warrant some further consideration and discussion with the industry' and p rovide the following transcript taken from a letter to me dated 14/07/04 from the Director General of the RSPCA Jackie Bollard

‘I am copying this letter to the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (the government department that responded to the Stewart Report) as an official register of our concern on the matter . This issue is not one with which the RSPCA has had much previous dealings but the Society would certainly be concerned by any evidence showing that animals might be suffering as a result of these masts (for example through impaired neurological functioning, increased abnormal behaviour, adverse effects on reproductive ability and success or reduced quality or length of life). I do acknowledge your concern and also importantly note that the Stewart Report made very little mention of any potential impact of these masts on the health or welfare of farm or wild animals living nearby, choosing to focus nearly exclusively on the perceived or potential consequences on human safety. As the use of mobile phones and the associated erection of telecommunications masts on such a large scale has only been a relatively recent phenomenon, it is true that any long-term effects on people or animals may be difficult to assess or estimate. For this reason and because much of the research undertaken seems to lead to inconclusive findings, an impact on animal health and well being may no be beyond the realms of possibility. As such, this is a matter of concern and I would agree that the issue requires further examination'.

I have also taken the liberty of attaching some of these and suggest these warrant your EARLY READING. I can also upon request put you in direct contact with the Authors of these papers.

I would be grateful if you could acknowledge receipt of this email to prevent me troubling you further.


Yours sincerely

Stephen Kearney

Re the animals, why does this appear to be a matter for Orange at all? Are they going to consult with the hippos? Surely it is simply a matter for the zoo. Neighbours are a separate matter, but I would have thought the zoo would have more concern for its own residents.

Further info on the Bristol Zoo mast proposal. Sandi's objection letter was published in the Bristol Evening Post yesterday (mine was published on Monday). I also had an objection letter published in the Western Daily Press yesterday. For some reason these letters have not appeared in the mast "News Now" stories.

Probably because they are letters or the system picks it up as an animal story! It just goes to show that no technology can replace human workers effectively!

Dear Ms Holve,

I write with regard to the proposed Orange mast at Bristol Zoo.

It would appear from emails on the Mast Sanity list that the Zoo is a most worthy and dedicated organisation with ethical and humane priorities concerning the animals in its care. I quote, "Bristol Zoo Gardens maintains and defends biodiversity through breeding endangered species, conserving threatened species and habitats and promoting a wider understanding of the natural world."

There is now a huge raft of scientific evidence worldwide, proving long term harm to humans and animals from electro-magnetic radiation (mobile phone masts) at levels far below the so-called ICNIRP 'safety' guidelines. These guidelines were not arrived at by doctors, epidemiologists or scientists, but by technicians who were calculating the immediate heating (thermal) effects of the radiation. By their own admission, the guidelines cannot claim to protect against long term exposure, which is now known to have serious biological risks, including damage to DNA that can be passed on through future generations. As a Zoo wishing to protect and breed endangered species, the proximity of a mast could have untold repurcussions.

The Operator (Orange) will not disclose this information. Indeed, no Telecom Operators are willing to admit the dangers, and go out of their way to mislead and misinform people with whom they wish to do business ie prospective landlords. Their line is always - "We operate well below the safety guidelines, so there is no need for concern."

You should also be aware that permitting one Operator will almost definitely force you into accepting more, because of the Government Planning Policy of mast and site sharing. Whatever they tell you, once you have signed the contract you will effectively have no say or control over the development either in upgrading or on the number of dishes, side lobes etc.

If the health, safety and well-being of the animals in your care is important to you, I beg you to turn down whatever tempting financial offer Orange may have made to you. Some things are beyond price - and the integrity and success of the vital work you do, should not be jeopardised by profit. Doubtless they will remind you of what useful things can be done with the money their mast will provide. It will be of little use, however, if your precious animals no longer thrive or survive. And please remember, the Operators are not serving your interests, they are serving their own. Against them, you will be powerless. If your animals, or your employees become ill, you will not be able to ask them to leave. A number of landlords have fallen into the trap of thinking that they can renegotiate their contract midway. In practice this is virtually impossible.

It is just as important to consider that your employees may be equally at risk, though human illness such as cancer and leukaemia may take longer to surface. As the controversy rages on this subject and the media coverage increases, there may at some point even be an impact on visitor numbers. For instance, as a parent, I would not allow my child to come into close proximity to a mast. This is why so many schools are now fighting against them, and why so many parents are now withdrawing their children from schools that have them on site.

Please, for all our sakes, because these animals are entrusted into your care, refuse Orange and other Operators who may approach you - and if you really want to help - make the reasons for your refusal known to the Press. You will have the gratitude, support and respect of us all.

Yours very sincerely,

Jennifer Godschall Johnson

12:00 - 09 June 2005

Mobile phone mast emission metering equipment is to be struck off Exeter City Council's shopping list. The council's executive decided two years ago to set aside £25,000 to spend on hi-tech mast monitoring gear.

The decision to buy the equipment was made amid widespread public unease at the health impact of masts.

Public concern about the issue has been highlighted by the Echo's Shockwaves campaign, which is calling on the Government to fund more research into mast emissions.

But now the council's environmental health officials say they do not believe there is any real benefit to be gained from monitoring masts.

A report to the council's community scrutiny committee said the equipment would be used to monitor emissions that are established to be well within the safety limits.

At the meeting, Jayne Donovan, the council's head of environmental health services, said: "It is clear that if the council measured mast emissions the results would be very similar to levels monitored nationally.

"The emissions we would get would be likely to be below international guidelines.

"In my opinion, there would be very limited uses of the information and the results would not be able to provide any meaningful health protection tool.

"However, we will continue to keep abreast of research and other developments in the field."

The committee voted to recommend that the council's executive should support the move not to buy the monitoring equipment.

Conservative city councillor Norman Shiel, the deputy chairman of the committee, said: "I support this recommendation. It would be gesture politics to spend taxpayers' money on this monitoring equipment."

Anzeigenmuster für Volksbegehren


Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

wir haben im Aktionsleitfaden angekündigt, Ihnen Anzeigenmuster für das Volksbegehren zu schicken. Die Anzeigen "Nur noch bis 18. Juli" sollten während der Eintragungszeit in den örtlichen Tages- und Wochenzeitungen geschaltet werden. Sie können jedoch leider nicht vom Volksbegehren-Landesbüro bezahlt werden. Dafür reichen unsere Mittel nicht. Sie müßten also vor Ort Spenden sammeln, wenn Sie die Anzeigen schalten wollen. Die Schaltung wäre sehr sinnvoll, da viele Leute zwar registrieren, dass ein Volksbegehren läuft, dann aber doch überrascht sind, dass der letzte Tag schon vorbei ist. Deshalb versuchen wir mit den Anzeigen auf das bevorstehende Ende der Eintragungsfrist hinzuweisen. Im Anhang finden Sie:

1. die Textteil-Kleinanzeigen
http://www.buergerwelle.de/pdf/anz_textteil_v3.pdf

Sie sollte auf der ersten Seite des Lokalteils im redaktionellen Teil geschaltet werden. Diese Plazierung ist zwar teurer als im Anzeigenteil, hat aber einen hohen Aufmerksamkeitswert. Bitte bestehen Sie bei der Schaltung ggf. darauf, dass die Anzeige auf der ersten Lokalseite oder an einer anderer Stelle, die Sie für richtig halten, gedruckt wird. Natürlich kann die Kleinanzeige aber auch kostengünstiger im Anzeigenteil geschaltet werden.

2. die Großanzeigen
http://www.buergerwelle.de/pdf/anz_gross_mobilfunk_v3.pdf

Wir haben zwei Varianten der Großanzeigen: die kleinere ist für den Anzeigenteil bestimmt. Sie können in diese 6 Fotos örtlicher Volksbegehren-Unterstützer (am besten parteiübergreifend) mit Namensangabe einsetzen. Bei der größeren Variante können Sie zwölf Fotos einsetzen. Diese größere Variante erfüllt zugleich in vermutlich allen Tageszeitungen die Mindestgrößenvorgabe für "Eckfeldanzeigen". Eckfeldanzeigen sind in der Regel rechts unten (daher Eckfeld) im redaktionellen Teil. Bei der vorgegebenen Mindestgröße wird der Tarif dann deutlich günstiger als bei einer kleinen Textteilanzeige (s.o.) mitten im Text. Bitte lassen Sie sich wegen der Details vom Anzeigenverkäufer Ihrer Zeitung beraten.

Wenn Sie Fotos in die Großanzeigen setzen wollen, können Sie dies entweder von der örtlichen Zeitung machen lassen oder aber von unserer Agentur: Hans Amann, Tel. 0941/7816299. Kosten 6 Fotos: 10,- Euro; 12 Fotos: 20,- Euro; aber nur, wenn Sie die Fotos vollständig und als Datei abliefern. Für darüber hinausgehende Arbeiten (z.B. scans) entstehen Mehrkosten. Es bietet sich an, dass die Personen, die auf der Anzeige veröffentlicht werden, durch Spenden zur Finanzierung beitragen. Bitte lassen Sie sich vor dem Anzeigendruck auf jeden Fall einen Korrekturabzug schicken und erklären Sie von Anfang an, dass Sie einen wünschen!

3. Die Immobilien-Wertminderungsanzeige:
http://www.buergerwelle.de/pdf/anzeigen_immobilien.pdf

Am 11.5. war im Immobilenteil der SZ ein interessanter Bericht, in dem sich der Haus-, Wohnungs- und Grundbesitzerverband positiv über das Volksbegehren äußert. Dem Bericht zufolge stellen Immobilienexperten verstärkt Wertminderungen bei Immobilien fest, wenn ein Sendemast in der Nachbarschaft steht. Diese bislang von uns noch kaum bearbeitete Argumentationsschiene sollten wir verstärkt kommunizieren. Unter http://www.immobilien-wertminderung.de kommt man auf eine Unterseite unserer Volksbegehren-homepage, auf der auch der SZ-Artikel abrufbar ist. Diese neue Internetadresse wird mit der Kleinanzeige im Anhang beworben. Wenn Sie sie schalten wollen, empfehle ich im Anzeigenteil vorzugsweise den Immobilienteil, die Familienseite und die Seite mit ärztlichen Nachrichten.

Die Immobilienanzeige könnte ab jetzt geschaltet werden. Die Schaltung der anderen "Nur noch bis 18. Juli"-Anzeigen dagegen erst ab Start der Eintragungszeit.


Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Urban Mangold


PS: Noch ein wichtiger Hinweis - Wir haben Ihnen mit dem Aktionsleitfaden auch die "Stelzengeher-Tour" angekündigt: Stelzengeher überwinden eine symbolische 10-Prozent-Hürde in den Fußgängerzonen für ein Pressefoto. Leider müssen wir diese Ankündigung zurücknehmen. Die Honorare für die Stelzengeher können wir uns nicht mehr leisten. Die außergewöhnliche Menge an Bestellungen hat unseren Etat schon gesprengt. Wir müssen bei den Stelzengehern die Bremse ziehen. Wenn Sie aber vor Ort Leute kennen, die diese Aktion ehrenamtlich umsetzen, wäre das natürlich sehr gut.

This very disturbing report has been circulating the last few days. I do not know if it is true, and there has been no official confirmation, but the implications are pretty staggering.

The contention is that of the roughly 1700 deaths that have been officially recognized, these have been soldiers who have fallen KIA on the field of battle. BUT.there is an additional claim that there have been another roughly 6,210 who have died on the way to or after arriving at the army hospitals in Germany. Official figures also do not include suicides, which we know is a grossly underreported (if not outright denied).

Below and here http://www.dailykos.com/story/2005/5/18/115832/501 are some suggestions on how to try and verify this, or at the very least, if the DOD is in fact using creative accounting practices for casualty figures.

It seems prudent for the anti-war movement to speak up loudly about this, investigate, and find out if it is true. I have found that there is always some measure of truth in any of these allegations, and I see no reason whatsoever to trust the Government.

Stratford Herald 8th June 2004

THE sanctity of Stratford Cemetery will be destroyed if plans for a mobile phone mast go ahead, it was claimed yesterday (Wednesday).

Campaigners trying to stop the 17-metre-high mast from being put on the chapel in the Evesham Road burial ground will stage a six-hour protest on Saturday.

Dozens of residents, some of whose relatives are buried at the cemetery, are expected to turn out.

Hutchinson 3G made the bid to install the mast there after their original plans to site it at the junction of Evesham Road and Halford Road withdrew the proposal in the face of local opposition which also won the support of Stratford MP John Maples.

Objections to siting the mast on the cemetery chapel were first raised at the annual town meeting in March when electors voted against it by 11 votes to eight with seven abstentions.

Pressemitteilung
Berlin, 9. Juni 2005

* Vor G7-Finanzministertreffen fordern Attac und BLUE21 Schuldenstreichung und internationale Steuern /
Proteste beim G8-Gipfel in Schottland geplant

* "Eitles Getöse und blanker Zynismus"


Vor Beginn des G7-Finanzministertreffens, das am 10. und 11. Juni in London stattfindet, haben das globalisierungskritische Netzwerk Attac und die Berliner Landesarbeitsgemeinschaft Umwelt und Entwicklung (BLUE21) Vorwürfe gegen die Schuldenpolitik der G7-Staaten erhoben und eine umfassende Schuldenstreichung gefordert. Die G7 verweigerten den Ländern des Südens seit über 20 Jahren eine Entschuldung und verhinderten damit einen wirtschaftlichen Neuanfang der Schuldnerländer, sagte Philipp Hersel, Geschäftsführer von BLUE21. Die Folgen müssen Millionen Menschen mit Armut und Elend bezahlen. "Wenn sich die G7 heute als Wohltäter und Weltverbesserer inszenieren, dann ist das in Wahrheit nur eitles Getöse. Und es ist blanker Zynismus gegenüber den Opfern einer Weltordnung, die tagtäglich millionenfach Elend und Tod hervorbringt und zulässt. Damit muss endlich Schluss sein."

Statt erneut wolkige Ankündigungen zu verbreiten, müssten die G7-Finanzminister endlich konkrete Schritte für eine Entschuldung einleiten, forderte Markus Meinzer von der Attac-AG Finanzmärkte. Um nur das Minimalziel der "UN Millennium Deveolpment Goals" (MDG) zur erreichen, seien jährlich mindesten 50 Milliarden Dollar zusätzlich erforderlich. Dabei bleiben die MDG schon weit hinter früheren Beschlüssen zurück und setzen statt auf eine Eliminierung nur auf eine Halbierung der weltweiten Armut. Die von Tony Blair vorgeschlagene "Internationale Finanzfazilität" stelle zwar bis 2015 verlässliche Entwicklungshilfezahlungen sicher, verschiebe die Belastungen aber in die Zukunft. Sinnvoller sei es, auf internationale Steuern, etwa auf Kerosin und Devisentransaktionen zu setzen, sagte Meinzer: "Für globale Probleme brauchen wir globale Lösungen: Globale Steuern, die die Profiteure der Globalisierung belasten und die weltweite Gerechtigkeitslücke schließen helfen."

Um gegen die Politik der G8 zu protestieren, sind rund um das Gipfeltreffen in Schottland (6.-8. Juli 2005) diverse Aktionen geplant, an denen sich auch Attac beteiligt. "Die Anmaßung der G8 als Weltregierung und ihre konkrete Politik wollen wir nicht schweigend akzeptieren", sagte Christiane Metzner von der Attac-Campusgruppe Potsdam, die eine Busfahrt nach Schottland organisiert hat. Unter dem Motto "Make Poverty History" ist für den 2. Juli eine Großdemonstration in Edinburgh vorgesehen. Vom 30. Juni bis 8. Juli findet dort darüber hinaus eine internationale Gegenkonferenz zum G8-Gipfel statt. In den Highlands nahe dem Gipfelort Gleneagels ist zudem ein großes Protestcamp geplant.

Faced with daily reports of car bombs and kidnappings, it's difficult to feel optimistic about Iraq. But last week in the south of the country I heard a very different story. A story of the movement that has formed to rebuild the country's economy and national pride, to create an Iraq with neither the tyranny of Saddam nor the pillage of military occupation.

General Augusto Pinochet, approaching his 90th year, has survived many years of legal harassments resulting from alleged human rights violations during the period of the Chilean military government's war on terrorism. On the basis of a U.S. Senate staff report, Pinochet is now going to be investigated for stashing $13 million in U.S. banks. What is interesting about the Pinochet case is that everything the former president of Chile is accused of, George W. Bush and his cronies are guilty of. Indeed, why are Senate staff wasting their time on 30-year-old alleged crimes of an elderly Chilean when the president of the United States ought to be in the dock?

Public broadcasting is the latest front in the Republican majority's assault on the 'liberal' media. After years of trying to destroy public broadcasting from without, right-wing Republicans are now trying to do so from within, by planting aggressive conservatives on the board and staff. These people have no qualms about destroying the Corporation for Public Broadcasting's function as a 'heat shield' from governmental influence. Rather, they seem bent on turning public broadcasting into a heat source -- a censorship center. This may be the most effective tactic yet in the longstanding struggle to kill public broadcasting."

We are all conscripts in one sense or another.

To fall out of step with one's tribe; to step beyond one's tribe into a world that is larger mentally but smaller numerically -- if alienation or dissidence is not your habitual or gratifying posture, this is a complex, difficult process. It is hard to defy the wisdom of the tribe: the wisdom that values the lives of members of the tribe above all others.

Fundamentalism of any kind is always dangerous on some level, much more so than mysticism can be. True mystics are the heavy hitters of the religious world, but more often than not they present a fragile, volatile psychology, and behave oddly at times. This is why mysticism is now called 'spirituality,' which is a much more user-friendly, accessible way of allowing for the same sort of thing, but staying under the radar. Mystics can scare people out of the pews. The Fundamentalists, along with the rest of the radical religious right in the United States, now constitute a major threat to the welfare and freedom of any person or organization that operates outside of their agenda, which by proxy is a fascist one.

Everybody -- including Republicans from Ronald Reagan to Newt Gingrich -- has lionized FDR to the point that all that's necessary to clinch an argument for X or Y is to postulate that Roosevelt would have wanted it. It's like discovering a new page from the Bible which speaks to, say, the budget deficit. Hence the batty disputes between various would-be oracles over whether the Great FDR Spirit supports add-on or carve-out private accounts for Social Security. In case you're wondering, the correct answer is: Who cares? The idea that there was this defined, ideologically and intellectually coherent thing called 'The New Deal' is nonsense, as almost any historian worth his salt will tell you. And it's even a little funny that liberals so uniformly admire FDR's 'legacy.' After all, the military-industrial complex and the marriage of big business and government are as central to that legacy as Social Security...

At Tuesday's joint White House press briefing, Bush and Blair were finally asked about the memo in public, an event that the press dutifully chronicled. But the two leaders, not accepting follow-up questions, simply denied the accuracy of the memo's contents, while circumventing the central question of why Blair's most senior intelligence officer believed the White House had already decided on war in the summer of 2002. (Bush finished his response to the memo question with his well-worn catchphrase, 'The world is better off without Saddam Hussein in power.') The fact that it took five weeks for more than a handful of Washington reporters to focus on the memo highlights a striking disconnect between some news consumers and mainstream news producers. The memo story epitomizes a mainstream press corps that is genuinely afraid to ask tough questions and write tough stories about the Bush administration... [subscription or ad view required]

Sitting in a Starbucks in Rosslyn, Virginia, Saar talks about female interrogators, thongs in a supervisor's office, and, of course, Newsweek's 'Periscope' item...

In a post-Renaissance world of enlightenment thinking, the 'divine right of kings' explanation could no longer be counted upon by the political class to justify its rule. A new sales gimmick was required. On the surface, the democratic principle had an air of plausibility to it: if government was inevitable, better to have its policies and practices determined by the general public than by an elite of rulers. In such a way, it was imagined, bloody warfare could be reduced and individual liberty preserved, as people would be disinclined to foster their own destruction and enslavement. Only the foolish would accept this newfound rationale for state power as a virtue in itself. But, as Mencken also advised: 'No one in this world, so far as I know ... has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.' To the statists -- ancient or modern -- 'democracy' became but another useful concept with which to condition weak minds to accept political rule...

Britain's record on human rights has been condemned in a report that criticises the Government for using illiberal policies to tackle terrorism, asylum and antisocial behaviour.
Alvaro Gil-Robles, the Council of Europe's human rights commissioner, warned Britain that its regime for combating terrorism flouted the fundamental human right of the presumption of innocence.The report found the granting of control orders by ministers against terror suspects was 'inherently one-sided.' Suspects, it added, should be charged under the ordinary criminal justice system...

A clear majority of Americans say President Bush is ignoring the public's concerns and instead has become distracted by issues that most people say they care little about, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. The survey found that 58 percent of those interviewed said Bush is mainly concentrating in his second term on problems and partisan squabbles that these respondents said were unimportant to them...

The United States of America is the only state that is actively opposed to the new International Criminal Court. US opposition to the Court can be traced back to the adoption of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court (Rome Statute) in 1998, where the USA was one of only 7 states to vote against adoption of the Statute. Reportedly a major reason for not supporting adoption of the Statute stems from the refusal of the international community to grant the United Nations Security Council (of which the USA is a veto holding permanent member) control over which cases the Court considered, instead favouring an independent Prosecutor who - subject to safeguards and fair trial guarantees - would make such decisions.

"Kritischer Papierbericht 2005": Bericht zeigt Alternativen zur zerstörerischen Papierherstellung auf (08.06.05)

Papier ist ein selbstverständliches Alltagsprodukt, und die meisten Menschen verbrauchen immer mehr davon, ohne sich über die Folgen Gedanken zu machen. Diesen Gedanken nahm sich der am Mittwoch veröffentlichte Kritische Papierbericht 2005 zur Grundlage. Er beschäftigt sich mit den ökologischen und sozialen Folgen von Papierproduktion und -konsum. Dabei kommt er zu der Einschätzung, dass die Produktion von Papier alles andere als unproblematisch sei. Selbst in Zeiten verhaltener Konjunktur bleibe der Papiermarkt ein Wachstumsbereich. Denn um die Papierproduktion weiter steigern zu können, setze die Industrie zunehmend auf Holz aus rasch nachwachsenden Plantagen. Dieser Trend habe dramatische Folgen. In den ärmeren Ländern des Südens würden Wälder und Ackerland im Einzugsbereich großer Zellstoff-Fabriken in öde Monokulturen umgewandelt. Indigene Völker und Kleinbauern verlören ihr Land und verarmten. Die auf den Plantagen eingesetzten Pestizide belasteten Böden und Gewässer.

PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY

You’ve read the Downing Street memo? If not, please read it. It will make your blood boil to see how the Bush administration was determined to invade Iraq and “fix” the facts and intelligence to justify the invasion. (click here to read the memo).

This memo proves what we in the peace movement have been saying all along – the war was based on lies. Please sign Congressman John Conyers’ petition asking George Bush for answers about critical questions raised by the Downing Street memo. We will be doing more work on this memo in the weeks to come, so stay tuned….
http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=18388721&url_num=2&url=http://www.johnconyers.com/index.asp?Type=SUPERFORMS&SEC=%7BD96730F9-4989-479E-A5D4-BA439D2DB29D%7D

One person intimately involved in the manipulation of facts and intelligence to support the attack on Iraq is John Bolton, the Bush administration’s pick for US ambassador to the United Nations. In 2002, Bolton orchestrated the firing of Jose Bustani, then Director-General of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), precisely because Bustani was getting Saddam Hussein to sign on to the international chemical weapons convention—a move that would have significantly undermined the US pretext for a pre-emptive strike on Iraq (see Common Dreams for the full article).
http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=18388721&url_num=3&url=http://www.commondreams.org/views02/0416-07.htm

What is also tragic about Bustani’s firing is that he had been credited with overseeing the destruction of 2 million chemical weapons and two-thirds of the world’s chemical weapons facilities; and the number of countries to sign on to the chemical weapons ban treaty under Bustani’s tenure had risen from 87 to 145.

The Democrat’s have made a valiant effort to delay the Senate vote on John Bolton as UN Ambassador in order to buy more time to expose how inappropriate Bolton is for this post. There is a strong possibility, however, that the Senate will vote on his confirmation sometime this week, perhaps as early as Thursday.

So let’s make one last push to stop Bolton and keep him from manipulating us into another invasion! Let’s make Bolton the defeat that spells the beginning of the end for the Bush White House's radical-right policies.

Your Senators need one more prompt from you to do the right thing and vote against John Bolton, the anti-diplomat. Please call or send them an email TODAY!

Defenders and seven other organizations are calling for an emergency closure of the horseshoe crab fishery in the mid-Atlantic in order to save the red knot, a critically imperiled shorebird. In just ten years, the red knot population has declined more than 90 percent and is predicted to become extinct by 2010 unless emergency actions are taken. The red knot depends on horseshoe crab eggs for the energy they need to complete their 10-thousand-mile spring migration from the tip of South America to the Arctic. Recent crab harvests have depleted the egg supply and, without enough eggs to feed on, the red knot simply won't make it. Learn more:

New research from France has confirmed previous studies that Monsanto's Roundup, the most commonly used herbicide in the world, is much more toxic that Monsanto admits. The study indicates that at levels 100 times lower than the recommended use in agriculture, Roundup herbicide causes reproductive damages and endocrine disruption. In other related news, the FDA Office of Plant and Dairy Foods has stated that half of the non-organic produce they have tested in grocery stores contains traceable residues of various pesticides, including Roundup.

While USDA national head Mike Johanns tells a carefully selected audience of beef industry boosters at the University of Minnesota that all is well with the USDA's "Don't Look, Don't Test" policy on Mad Cow Disease, consumer and farmer representatives outside will graphically demonstrate how American cattle on non-organic farms are still being fed cow blood, slaughterhouse waste, and poultry manure--practices banned in Europe and Japan because they spread Mad Cow Disease. OCA will also call attention to the fact that the USDA is still refusing to test all animals at slaughter, despite repeated pleas by American consumers and the overseas customers for U.S. Beef. In addition, the USDA has threatened to arrest and jail U.S. meat producers and ranchers if they dare to contract with leading Mad Cow detection labs and start to do their own testing. The OCA will be delivering "Stop the Madness" petition signatures to USDA Secretary Johanns this week, so please sign now!

MORE NEWS ON USDA MAD COW COVER-UP

U.S. government officials are apparently blocking efforts to allow a French lab to analyze and carry out tests on the brain tissue of a U.S. man who is strongly suspected to have died of the human variant of mad cow disease. A deceased California man's family and doctor have announced they believe Patrick Hicks, aged 49, died late last year from variant Creutzfeldt Jakob disease, or vCJD. The fatal disease is contracted from eating beef contaminated with mad cow disease. Patrick Hicks would be the first confirmed case in the U.S. of someone dying from the vCJD disease who had never traveled or spent time in Europe.

Despite efforts by the deceased man's family and doctors to have his brain tissue thoroughly tested at a lab in France U.S. officials have bungled tests and repeatedly dragged their heels on sending brain samples overseas. "I don't know what's going on here," said Dr. Bailey, the physician who attended Patrick Hicks.

Farnborough News

TEACHERS and residents are battling against proposals for a phone mast to be built close to two schools calioming it will interfere with pupils’ hearing aids.

Rushmoor Borough Council has told residents in Northcote Road , Farnborough, that they are considering plans to install a 10m Vodafone mast next to their homes and less than half a mile from Manor Infant School and Manor County Junior School .

The junior school, in Fernhill Road , has a special unit for children with hearing difficulties.

Headteacher Mark Sands said: “We are very concerned about the mast.

“We have a hearing impaired unit at the school and our hearing impaired advisor has noticed interference with hearing aids in another school because of either a mobile phone mast or a telegraph pole.”

Staff at nearby Manor Infant School agreed. Headteacher Marilyn Penman said: “Like everybody else we have concerns about health and safety for the children — we have the Healthy School Award and we feel that the mast would go against this.
“We have sent a letter to register our objections.”

One of the campaign leaders is Angela Phillips, 37, of Avon Close. She said: “We are told that our objections cannot be on the grounds of potential health issues as they say ‘the government will take full responsibility’ but what evidence have we been given to prove that there is no risk to our health? None.

“We just have to take the word of a government that is not renowned for its honesty.”

Keith Holland, head of planning services, said the council has not made a decision on whether the plans will go ahead. They “will look carefully at what people are saying”.

He said: “We have rejected proposals like this before when we have felt that they are in the wrong position but we cannot reject them on the grounds of health and safety as the government believes there are no grounds to object on that.”

Electro-magnetic service advisor for Vodafone, Jane Frapwell, denied that there is any danger in masts being close to residential areas.

She said: “We do recognise that people have concerns but we do comply with some very stringent international guidelines that are there to protect all of us, whether we are one metre away from the mast or one mile.”

Vodafone claim that an independent body investigated the health and safety of masts.

The Health Protection in its January report said there is no scientific basis for establishing minimal distances between masts and residential areas.

The public is not sure. Northcote Road resident Petula Bradshaw said: “We don’t want it here when it can go somewhere not close to a school, with less housing.”

Her son Martin has secured 300 signatures from people against the mast. He said: “It is a health risk to the local area, it’s an eyesore that we don’t want around and it interferes with hearing aids in school.”

Mrs Dodwell, from Anglesey Avenue , Farnborough, said: “At the end of the day we all have phones and we all moan if they don’t work properly but I think I would want some written evidence that the mast won’t harm my daughter.”

Grange Ward councillor Mike Smith who is also fighting the plans, said: “I’ve always had a pretty volatile opinion towards putting up masts and we have contested several masts from going up before.

“A latest report from Switzerland has confirmed that a serious risk from masts will come through in time but somebody keeps moving the goal posts on conditions of what they can and can’t do.”

Residents are also enraged that Vodafone has not had to apply for planning permission.

But Cllr Holland explained why. “It is true that they don’t need planning permission because it is below the height limit of, I think, 15 metres, but they do need our agreement of the siting of the mast.”

The protestors are now waiting for Rushmoor Council to decide if they will allow Vodafone to build the mast.

But Ms Philips vows that she and other residents will boycott Vodafone if the plans do go ahead.

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

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.

Thousands of people across America will be calling Congress this week to speak out against the expansion of the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act imposes restrictions on freedom that no democracy should ever tolerate. We need you to speak out as a concerned citizen to stop the government from stripping away your rights.

Even if you've taken action on the Patriot Act before, your call this week will make a difference. Please call your Members of Congress today and oppose the Patriot Act's expansion.

You can look up your Representative's and Senators' direct numbers by clicking here http://action.aclu.org/site/PageServer?pagename=AS_CongressLookup
or you can call the Capitol Switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

Some possible talking points:

People across the country have made clear their opposition to the Patriot Act. Hundreds of communities -- and seven states -- have passed resolutions against the Patriot Act and held town hall meetings to discuss its impact on their residents and our Constitution. Congress has a duty to listen to its constituents.

There are significant flaws in the Patriot Act, flaws that threaten your fundamental freedoms by giving the government the power to access to your medical records, tax records, information about the books you buy or borrow, all without probable cause. It also gives the government the power to obtain a special “sneak and peek” search warrant to break into your home and conduct secret searches without telling you for weeks, months or indefinitely. The Patriot Act needs to be reformed, not expanded.

Some of the extreme provisions in the Patriot Act are attacks on fundamental American values. The Constitution and its Bill of Rights emphasize the need for checks and balances on government agents and limits to their power. The Patriot Act rolled back key judicial oversight and gave law enforcement significant new powers that go beyond the war on terrorism.

Visit http://action.aclu.org/patriotactcalls and tell us how your calls went.

Why call Congress today?

We're launching a nation-wide effort to ensure Congress hears the widespread opposition to the Patriot Act. Civil libertarians, conservatives, free speech advocates and others from across the political spectrum are urging Congress to reform the Patriot Act, not expand it. Add your voice to this chorus of people calling for proper checks and balances on government power.

In the coming weeks, we have the opportunity to prevent the expansion of government secret surveillance. Together we're working to ensure that some of the most infamous provisions of the Patriot Act -- including one that expands secret surveillance -- expire at the end of this year or are reformed.

Last week thousands of people wrote to their members of Congress. Please help ensure that your members of Congress do not support expansion of the Patriot Act. Call them today and defend your rights:

An den Bundespräsidenten der Bundesrepublik Deutschland

Dringende Aufforderung, die Auflösung des Bundestages und vorgezogene Neuwahlen im September nicht zuzulassen


Sehr geehrter Herr Dr. Köhler,

hiermit möchten wir unsere tiefe Besorgnis zur möglicherweise bevorstehenden Neuwahl des Bundestages zum Ausdruck bringen und Sie dringend bitten, den Absichten des Bundeskanzlers entgegenzutreten.

Wir sind eine Wählergemeinschaft in Mülheim a. d. Ruhr, die bei den letzten Kommunalwahlen mit 10,3 % der Stimmen zum zweiten Mal in den Rat der Stadt gewählt wurden. Unser besonderes Anliegen ist die Durchsetzung von Transparenz und Demokratie und die Wahrung der Rechtsstaatlichkeit auch auf kommunaler Ebene.

Besonders wir im krisengeschüttelten Ruhrgebiet brauchen alles, nur keinen erneuten Wahlkampf und damit weitere Monate von Versprechungen und Vertröstungen, während die Probleme sich weiter auftürmen!

Die Absicht des Bundeskanzlers, auf das Ergebnis der Landtagswahl in NRW mit der Auflösung und Neuwahl des Bundestages zu reagieren, stößt nicht nur bei uns auf völliges Unverständnis. Die Kontrollfunktion des Bundesrates, insbesondere mit anderer Mehrheit als im Bundestag, ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Verfassung und vom Wähler zur Zeit auch so gewollt. Dass die SPD im Bundesrat keine Mehrheit hat, war auch schon vor der Landtagswahl in NRW so und ist damit kein erkennbarer Grund, den Bundestag jetzt vorzeitig aufzulösen.

Zum anderen, selbst wenn Herr Schröder so nicht weiterregieren möchte, ist auch dies kein Grund für Neuwahlen, sondern allenfalls für einen Rücktritt des Kanzlers und ggfs. die Aufkündigung der Koalition, worauf dann eine neue Regierungsmehrheit im bestehenden Bundestag gefunden werden müsste. Ebenso wäre eine neue rot-grüne Regierung mit einem anderen Kanzler denkbar und selbst ein Minderheitsregierung für das verbliebene Jahr bis zu den regulären Wahlen wäre möglich. Funktionierende Beispiele für diese Möglichkeiten etwa aus den demokratischen Nachbarländern in Europa gibt es etliche und auch der Wechsel in den sechziger Jahren zur großen Koalition Kiesinger/Brandt oder der Kanzlerwechsel von Brandt zu Schmidt bei gleich bleibender Regierungskoaltion waren keine Katastrophen für unser Land.

Die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten zur Beilegung einer Kanzler- bzw. Regierungskrise müssen ernsthaft und vorrangig angegangen werden, bevor das Parlament aufgelöst werden kann und sollte. Auch deshalb wurde in unserem Grundgesetz die Möglichkeit der vorzeitigen Parlamentsauflösung sehr restriktiv gefasst. Die schlechten Erfahrungen aus der Weimarer Republik seien zudem warnendes Beispiel.

Vollends verfehlt ist aber die Art und Weise, wie Bundeskanzler Schröder sein Vorhaben angeht. Leichtfertig wurde (oder wird noch?) laut Medienberichten sogar mit dem Gedanken an eine Verfassungsänderung gespielt, nur weil ein Wahlergebnis nicht gefällt, und dies wurde dann angeblich eben so schnell wieder verworfen. Für den Normalbürger kann das nur so aussehen, als würden „Tricks“ am Rande der Legalität diskutiert, die sogar in der eigenen Fraktion nur Kopfschütteln auslösen.

Der einzig korrekte Weg bleibt eben der Rücktritt bzw. das Stellen der Vertrauensfrage, mit anschließender evtl. Neubildung der Regierung, jedoch ohne Neuwahlen.

Wir sehen die große Gefahr, und werden darin auch ständig im Gespräch mit vielen Bürgern bestätigt, dass das Ansehen von Demokratie, Politik und Politikern durch Herrn Schröders Vorgehen weiter beschädigt wird.

Ein Hau-Ruck-Wahlkampf in den drei Monaten (auch noch der Sommerferien!), ohne dass sich die Parteien entsprechend vorbereiten können mit sorgfältig überarbeiteten Programmen und durch die jeweilige Parteibasis ausreichend demokratisch legitimierte Kandidat/innen, wird Politikverdrossenheit und Wahlverweigerung weiter fördern, schlimmstenfalls werden die falschen Kräfte davon profitieren. Jeden Tag liest man von neuen (meist altbekannten) Kandidaturen für den nächsten Bundestag, ohne dass in der jeweiligen Partei darüber hätte gesprochen werden können. Die wichtige innerparteiliche Diskussion und besonnene demokratische Abwägung bei der Kandidatenkür kann und wird nicht gegeben sein. Auch das kann unserer Demokratie nur abträglich sein.

Wohin der leichtfertige Umgang mit Neuwahlen führt, ist zur Genüge aus der Geschichte bekannt und deshalb in unserer Verfassung auch bewusst erschwert worden. Ein absoluter Notfall für unser Land ist durch die NRW-Wahl nicht entstanden, im Gegenteil: der Ausgang war alles andere als überraschend, und zwar seit Jahren.

Wokingham agree to equipment cabinet but Bracknell refuse antenna

CONFLICTING decisions by two bordering local authorities has meant a mobile phone giant has permission to site its phone equipment but not to build the mast.

Orange had to submit applications to both Bracknell Forest Borough Council and Wokingham District Council because it wanted to put up a mobile phone mast on one side of a main road and the associated cabinet and equipment on the other side.

The mast, which was set to be 12 metres high with three panel antennae and one link antenna, was to be situated in Old Wokingham Road, which comes under the authority of Bracknell Forest Borough Council.

But the cabinet and equipment was to be located on the opposite side of the same road, at its junction with Rowan Drive, falling into the authority of Wokingham District Council.

A bizarre set of planning regulations meant Orange was told it could have permission to build the cabinet but was not allowed to build the telephone mast. The applications were submitted in April and the decisions were made by planning chiefs from each council last month.

Resident John Field, of Rowan Drive, organised a petition against the phone mast last November when Orange first consulted residents living within close proximity of the site. More than 300 people put pen to paper to illustrate their objections but Orange still submitted its application in April.

Mr Field said he and other campaigners were delighted with Bracknell’s decision to reject the phone mast and added they were ‘confused’ about Wokingham’s verdict. He said: “Clearly we are over the moon about Bracknell’s response in rejecting the phone mast which was all that we have ever asked for. “But Wokingham’s decision remains mysterious to say the least as you cannot have one without the other.

“Our objections seem to have held water as far as Bracknell is concerned but we have no idea why Wokingham has given approval for the cabinet. “There is no point having a cabinet when there is no mast, it really is a bizarre situation.”

He also questioned the communication between both councils, and asked if there was any consultation before the decisions were made. “Where is the communication?” he asked. “It seems as if the two authorities work like isolated islands.”

A spokeswoman for Wokingham District Council confirmed there was consultation between both councils but said that each authority had to make its own decision. She said: “We did consult with Bracknell about this and Bracknell did consult with us because the applications were on the border. “As a planning authority we [WDC] can only make a decision on the application which is directly submitted to us. In this case we looked at the application for the cabinet and it was given approval on its own merit.

“They [BFBC] have obviously decided that the mast was unsuitable and have refused it. “It is an unusual situation because the phone mast fell across two areas covered by two different authorities.”

This is East Durham

PLANNERS are being urged to block an application to install a 12-metre high mobile phone mast in a north Durham estate.

Telecommunications company O2 wants to put the mast on land south of Carlingford Road , on the Garden Farm Estate, in Chester-le-Street .

Chester-le-Street District Council has received up to 600 letters objecting to the application.

The campaign was started by Garden Farm Residents' Association and supported by south ward Councillor Linda Ebbatson.

Coun Ebbatson, who is also council leader, said: "It is a wholly inappropriate site for the installation as it is a central location in the estate, which is virtually open plan.

"It would be very intrusive and affect the visual amenity. We want to upgrade this area, not downgrade."

Other residents are opposed to the mast because of health fears and feel it is too near their properties. The closest house is ten minutes from the site.

Householders also feel the mast will devalue their properties and that potential noise could affect their sleeping patterns.

Protestors fear the mast could diminish road safety, could become a distraction for drivers, and become a meeting point for youngsters.

O2 wants to strengthen its third generation mobile phone coverage in the area.

No one from the company was available for comment when contacted by The Northern Echo.

Council officers have written a report with recommendations for the planning committee which will make a final decision.

It said: "In this instance, the height of the proposed installation, relevant to other buildings and street furniture in the area, is considered to represent a form of development inappropriate for the proposed location, which would be harmful to the character and visual amenity of the area.

"It is considered that the applicants have failed to submit the appropriate justification of the need for the development.

"They have failed to adequately demonstrate that any alleged need could not be met, via the installation of an antenna on existing buildings in the surrounding area."

The planning committee meets at Chester-le-Street Civic Centre on Monday.

COUNCILLORS voted to reject applications for masts next to schools, including St Christopher’s Primary

Tameside Advertiser

COUNCILLORS responded to a wave of protest from residents and rejected FOUR applications for mobile phone masts in one go.

This was despite a recommendation from planning officers to grant permission to all four.

The aplications by Vodafone and T-Mobile sparked letters of protest, petitions and a campaign which had the backing of MP David Heyes.

A proposed mast on Woodend Lane , Stalybridge attracted 522 letters of objections plus a petition containing 339 signatures.

Vodafone and T-Mobile have yet to announce whether they will appeal the decisions.

Another application, by T-Mobile for a mast on Broadoak Road , Ashton drew letters from 59 residents detailing concerns which included possible health risks to pupils at nearby St Christopher’s Primary School and Hartshead High School .

Mr Heyes backed their concerns.

Derek Stout, from the residents’ association, said: “I think we can all recall a while ago when people said there was nothing wrong with asbestos or BSE but we all know what happened there. Where this mast is going is where hundreds of children pass every day three or four times.”

He added: “The children are the future, it’s important that we get this right.”

It was refused by Wednesday’s planning committee on the grounds of proximity to local schools. A second application was made by Vodafone for a mast on a pavement opposite Brecon Avenue and Lancaster Road , Denton . It was refused because it was close to a youth centre.

Objectors included the council’s head of sports and cultural services who feared it might deter parents from bringing children to the nearby playing field.

The head of services for children and young people also had reservations because of the proximity to Corrie Primary Schools and Two Trees High School .

A proposed mast on Yew Tree Lane , Dukinfield, sparked a petition signed by 66 residents. Objections against the 15m mast for T-Mobile provoked concerns that it may devalue nearby properties or would be a target for vandalism.

Vicki Davies, whose house is opposite the site, told the panel: “My concern is the radiation. At the end of the day lots of children walk up and down the lane to go to Yew Tree Lane School and Astley High School .

“My child walks up and down Yew Tree Lane three times a day. I am sorry if you want to take risks with my child or anyone else’s.”
Councillors rejected the mast on the grounds of its visual appearance.

A spokeswoman for Vodafone. “Not a decision we take lightly and will give it considerable thought before we decide to proceed. We will look very carefully at the reasons for refusal and what they are.

“The National Radiological Protection Board, who are part of the Health Protection Agency, published a report in January which said there is no scientific basis for setting a minimum distance between a base station and any area where the public is.

“Official guidance is quite clear on these issues. The key issue to remember is the guidelines to protect the public are there to protect whether they are one metre or one mile from a radio base station.

“Clearly, we have many installations on roof tops and inner cities and if we didn’t have them there where people live there would not be a mobile service.”

T-Mobile did not comment.

Morecambe today

PLANS for a mobile phone mast disguised as a lamppost have angered residents at Scale Hall.

The 15-metre mast, for O2, is planned for land fronting shops at the corner of West Drive and Scale Hall Lane.

Residents are planning to oppose the plans but their objections could come to nought.

The application benefits from a quirk in the planning law by asking for 'prior approval'. Rather than going through the normal planning process, this gives the council a short period – 56 days – to dispute some of the details in a limited way.

The authority can raise an objection if the application has an unwarranted visual impact on the area. Possible health effects cannot be taken into account.

If no objection is made within the 56-day period, O2 can go ahead with the mast.

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 147 MHz, 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.“

Was Konzerne und Behörden alles über uns wissen

München - Auf seine Kundenkarte ist Robert Rivera seit dem Sturz im Supermarkt nicht mehr gut zu sprechen. Beim Einkaufen rutschte der Amerikaner auf einer Joghurtpfütze aus und zertrümmerte sich die Kniescheibe. Ein klarer Fall von Schadenersatz, dachte Rivera. Doch die US-Kette zahlte keinen Cent. Ein Anwalt teilte lapidar mit, Rivera sei selbst schuld an dem Unfall. Sicher sei er wieder betrunken gewesen - bei der Menge Alkohol, die er laut hauseigener Datenbank ständig konsumiere.

Michael Ziegler braucht 90 Sekunden, dann ist er beim internationalen Terrorismus. New York, Djerba, Madrid. Dagegen müsse man sich schützen, sagt der Sprecher des bayerischen Innenministeriums. Hätte zum Beispiel Spanien nicht routinemäßig alle Telefondaten gespeichert, dann wären die Männer nie gefunden worden, die am 11. März 2004 in Madrid vier Züge sprengten und 191 Menschen töteten. Michael Ziegler hat Recht - und das zeigt das Dilemma.

Wer heute über Daten und ihren Schutz nachdenkt, bewegt sich zwischen zwei Extremen: den Vorteilen, die die digitalen Daten bringen für Behörden, Unternehmen, Kunden und Bürger - und der Gefahr, bald lückenlos kontrolliert zu werden. Der Schwede Pär Ström, Spezialist für Informationstechnologie, beschäftigt sich seit Jahren mit dem Thema. Seit dem 11. September 2001 sieht er eine Tendenz: "Auf einer Skala zwischen Anarchie und Überwachungsstaat bewegen wir uns in Richtung Überwachungsstaat."

Das klingt dramatisch; doch die meisten Menschen interessiert das nicht. Dass jeder Handy-Besitzer zu lokalisieren ist? Egal. Dass Kaufhäuser mit Hilfe der Kundenkarten jeden Einkauf rekonstruieren können? Unbekannt. Dass man beim Senden von E-Mails seinen Freundeskreis preisgibt? Verdrängt. Dass sich anhand der besuchten Web-Sites politische und sexuelle Vorlieben aufdecken lassen? Panikmache. Dass Polizisten und Staatsanwälte seit dem 1. April jedes Konto abfragen dürfen? Was soll's? Wer nichts verbrochen hat, der hat auch nichts zu befürchten.

Pär Ström kennt dieses Argument. Er hält es für falsch. Der Autor des Buches "Die Überwachungsmafia" sagt: "Der Schutz der Intimsphäre ist ein Grundrecht." Dieses Recht sieht Ström in Gefahr. Nicht der große Bruder aus George Orwells Überwachungsfiktion "1984" sei das Problem, sondern "die vielen kleinen Brüder, die uns immer stärker in die Enge treiben".

Das böse Wort heißt Zweckverschiebung. Ein gutes Beispiel ist das Gesetz zur Steuerehrlichkeit von 2003. Um festzustellen, wer Steuern hinterzieht, nutzen Behörden seit April sensible Finanzdaten, die nach dem 11. September eigentlich erhoben worden waren, um Geldflüsse von Terroristen trockenzulegen. "Das passiert immer öfter", klagt Reinhard Vetter, der bayerische Datenschutzbeauftragte. "Die Behörden hoffen dann, dass der Aufschrei nicht mehr ganz so groß ist, weil die Daten sowieso schon vorliegen."

Wie perfide gerade Unternehmen vorgehen, um intime Details ihrer Kunden zu sammeln, zeigt das Beispiel der spanischen Edel-Diskothek "Baja Beach Club" in Barcelona. Wer sich für besonders wichtig hält, kann sich dort einen Chip in Oberarm oder Schulter pflanzen lassen. Der, so preisen die Clubchefs, sorge dafür, dass nur exklusive Stammkunden in bestimmte Räume gelangten - wo sie ihre Privatbar hätten und ohne Bargeld zahlen könnten. Dass die "Very Important Persons" (VIP) durch die vom Chip gesendeten Radiowellen überwachbar werden wie Kühe mit einer Ohrmarke, das steht nicht auf der Homepage.

Was wie eine Schreckensvision für das Jahr 2050 klingt, wird auf amerikanischen Internet-Seiten längst diskutiert: Sorglos reihen Nutzer Vorschlag an Vorschlag, wie sich der Preis für die Chips drücken lässt - damit sich möglichst viele Menschen bald das reiskorngroße Teil in den Körper jagen. "Chippen" heißt das im Fachjargon. Die Grenzen ethischen Handelns, sie spielen hier keine Rolle.

Noch schützt uns die schiere Datenmenge. Aber das ändert sich: Immer öfter fräst sich elektronische Suchsoftware durch den Berg der Bits und Bytes von Handybetreibern, E-Mail-Servern, Kaufhausketten. Und alle Datenbanken haben ein Leck. IT-Spezialist Pär Ström warnt: "Eines der größten Risiken ist, dass Polizei und Behörden an die Daten der Privatwirtschaft gelangen."

Als könnten sie gar nicht schnell genug an diese digitalen Daten kommen, wollen die Staaten der Europäischen Union demnächst alle Webseiten, E-Mails, SMS und Anrufe langfristig speichern. Im Gespräch sind 48 Monate. Datenschützer Vetter sagt: "Das Überwachungsnetz wird immer dichter."

Pär Ström macht sich trotzdem für eine differenzierte Sicht stark. Das Bild vom allgegenwärtigen, bösen Staat gefällt dem IT-Spezialisten so wenig wie eine Verharmlosung des Datenmissbrauchs. Ström fordert deshalb eine europaweite, öffentliche Diskussion - und das so bald wie möglich: "Wir Bürger müssen entscheiden, bis zu welcher Grenze wir gehen wollen."

Krebs erregender Mobilfunkmast?
http://omega.twoday.net/stories/685575/

Strahlung unterm Grenzwert

Neuhardenberg (MOZ) T-Mobile-Experten haben am Dienstagnachmittag in Neuhardenberg im Umfeld des Mobilfunkturmes die Feldstärke gemessen. Sowohl bei der Gesamtbelastung, die auch TV-, Rundfunk-, Radar- und andere Wellen mit einschließt, als auch bei der konkreten Messung der drei Mobilfunksender wurden die Grenzwerte deutlich unterschritten. Während T-Mobile mit Vor-Ort-Messungen gesundheitlichen Befürchtungen wegen der Funkstrahlung entgegentreten will, kursieren in Neuhardenberg Fakten, die das Gegenteil nicht für unmöglich erscheinen lassen.

Von Silke Müller

Die Messungen der Feldstärke im direkten Umfeld des Neuhardenberger Mobilfunkmastes hat - auf den ersten Blick - keine überhöhten Werte ergeben. Das hat gestern Nachmittag Hartmut Rost, der Beauftrage für Umweltkommunikation der Berliner T-Mobile-Niederlassung erklärt. Er hatte in Neuhardenberg an fünf Standorten die Werte ermittelt: an zwei Standorten im Birkenweg, an der Schule und im Bereich Maternstraße. Die Messpunkte waren von der Gemeinde ausgewählt worden. Sie orientierte sich dabei an den drei Hauptabstrahlrichtungen des Mobilfunkmastes in 90, 210 und 330 Grad. "Die Hauptsendeleistung erfolgt in jeder der drei Senderichtungen in einem Öffnungswinkel von 60 Grad horizontal und acht Grad vertikal", erklärt der T-Mobile-Techniker Bürgermeister Mario Eska, Amtsdirektor Gerhard Maslowski, Bauamtsleiter Dietmar Müller und den beiden Neuhardenbergern, die sich diese Messung nicht entgehen lassen wollen. Peter Schulz, der an der Karl-Marx-Allee zwischen Birkenweg und Maternstraße wohnt, sagt, er habe technisches Interesse und dass er sich wundere, dass die T-Mobile selbst die Messungen vornehme. Wie Bürgermeister Eska hatte er erwartet, dass eine unabhängige Institution die Kontrolle vornimmt. Karl Käbermann aus dem Birkenweg ist persönlich betroffen. Allein in seinem Haus gibt es drei Fälle von Krebserkrankungen. "Das ist bedrückend, da macht man sich Gedanken", sagt er.

Eine ungewöhnliche Häufung solcher Krankheitsfälle im Birkenweg gab den Anstoß, der Sachlage nachzugehen. Sechs Minuten lang misst Hartmut Rost die Gesamtfeldstarke im Bereich von 100 Hertz bis 100 Gigahertz. Darin eingeschlossen sind neben Mobilfunkstraßen auch Rundfunk-, Fernsehwellen, Flugradarstrahlung und ähnliches. Am Messgerät ist ablesbar, dass man sich in einem Minimalbereich befindet, der sehr weit vom Grenzwert entfernt ist. Genauso gering im Vergleich zu anderen Gebieten seien die Belastungen im GSM-Bereich von 900 MHz (D1/Vodafon) und im 1800-MHz-Bereich, der von E-Plus und O2 genutzt wird, erklärt Rost die Messergebnisse. Im UMTS ist es noch minimaler, er wird hier kaum genutzt. T-Mobile-Pressesprecher Georg von Wagner, der das Geschehen verfolgt, spricht von einem Irrglaube. "Mobilfunkwellen sind viel weniger schädlich als Rauchen", sagt er. Alle Grenzwerte würden weit unterschritten, auch deshalb komme T-Mobile vor Ort, um das Vorurteil aus den Köpfen der Leute mit Fakten zu vertreiben.

Omega siehe dazu „Strahlung unterm Grenzwert“ unter:
http://omega.twoday.net/stories/749085/ und „Krebshäufung in der Nähe von Mobilfunksendeanlagen“ unter: http://omega.twoday.net/stories/580235/

Derweil kursiert in Neuhardenberg eine Ärzte-Information des Vereins Informationszentrum Mobilfunk. Danach war bereits 1932 in der Deutschen Medizinischen Wochenzeitschrift zu lesen, dass unspezifische Symptome wie Tagesmattigkeit verbunden mit unruhigem Schlaf, Kopfschmerzen, depressive Neigungen und anderes auch eine Folge hoher Funkstrahlenbelastung sein kann. Inzwischen hätten Hausärzte im Oberfränkischen Naila festgestellt, liest sich unter www.hese-project.org, dass im Umkreis von 400 Meter nach fünf Jahren Dauerbestrahlung Krebsfälle dreimal so häufig waren wie im Bereich über 400 Meter. Festgelegte Grenzwerte, vermutet man auch in Neuhardenberg inzwischen, werden weniger zum Schutz der Menschen als vielmehr zur Haftungsfreistellung für die Industrie festgesetzt.

"Beweisen Sie heute mal, dass gestern keine Außerirdischen hier gelandet sind", umschreibt Bauamtsleiter Dietmar Müller die eher aussichtslose Lage, mit einer Vermutung gegen Messwerte anzukommen.

Omega hier geht es wohl mehr als nur um eine Vermutung. Die Verballhornung und Verniedlichung dieses Problems für die Gesundheit der Menschen durch Bauamtsleiter Dietmar Müller ist ein Skandal. Siehe dazu „Naila-Studie erhärtet Krebsverdacht von Mobilfunk“ unter: http://omega.twoday.net/stories/291645/

Das Messprotokoll samt endgültiger Bewertung wollen die T-Mobile-Leute voraussichtlich im August dem Gemeinderat vorlegen und erläutern.

Burton Mail

by KIM BRISCOE

RESIDENTS have spoken of their outrage after work to erect a mobile phone mast started yesterday – despite assurances the project was on hold.

A crowd of angry villagers gathered in Hillfield Lane after contractors began to lay the foundations for a controversial 15–metre telcommunications mast being erected by mobile phone giants O2.

East Staffordshire Borough Council approved a planning application for the mast in January, despite more than 50 objections from residents concerned about the possible health implications.

However, at the time O2 agreed to meet with residents, councillors and officers to discuss the possibility of finding an alternative site.

During the subsequent meeting the firm made more assurances that it would look for an alternative site and notify the council if any work was to begin — notification which was not received ahead of contractors starting to lay the base for the mast yesterday.

Stretton councillor Ron Clarke accused O2 of going back on its promises and vowed to do all he could to put a stop to the mast’s erection.

Council officials have also written to the firm, asking for the work to be halted.

Councillor Clarke said: "I’m just disgusted. It’s an issue that could have been resolved and avoided. Residents can be assured that I am doing everything I can to get this work stopped."

Bisbell Magnetic Products Ltd, which had originally turned down O2’s approach to site the mast at its Hillfield Lane premises, subsequently offered to allow the monopole to be built behind its factory — providing an alternative site preferred by the majority of nearby residents.

However, residents feel this option, which would have required O2 to pay rent to Bisbell, has been dismissed in favour of the original site, which appears to be owned by no–one.

Derek Ford, who lives metres from the proposed site and has been suffering from cancer for 10 years, said: "My body is now more susceptible to any other form of cancer and the phone mast is of great concern to us in view of its proximity. The National Radiological Protection Board recognises levels of radiation emissions should be lower for people with compromised health, thereby admitting the level of radiation is dangerous for someone with my condition."

A spokesman for O2 said today that the work had started because it had changed agents to deal with the erection of the mast, and the old agents had not made the new firm aware of the on–going issues."

Fury as Ice Arena mast gets nod

The Scottish Executive has overturned a Fife Council decision to refuse planning permission for a mobile phone mast on the roof of Fife Ice Arena in Kirkcaldy.

The decision was today branded “a disgrace” by local councillor John Cameron, who vehemently opposed the application when it was considered last September.

He claimed the site was too close to a nursery and a special school for handicapped children, and would cause anxiety within these communities.

But today’s meeting of the Central Development Committee heard that applicants Hutchison 3G had appealed to the Executive, which ruled the Ice Arena was a suitable location.

The Executive reporter also concluded that issues of potential health effects were not a matter for the planning system and should be dealt with under alternative legislation.

A furious Councillor Cameron said, “It beggars belief that the reporter can overturn Fife Council’s decision.

“There is a nursery just 50 yards away from there, the Rosslyn special school is 50 yards away, and there are houses 25 yards away.

“I think it’s a disgrace, especially when there is an industrial estate 400 yards away which would be a more appropriate location.”

He added, “It’s absolutely ridiculous and I’m going to write to the Scottish Executive and MSPs and ask what planet this reporter comes from.”

Hutchison 3G plans to install three pole-mounted antennae and one transmission dish alongside antennae already on the roof.

Council officials had recommended the application be approved because of its limited size.

MOBILE phone firms hope to stick two telecom masts in leafy Dulwich - disguised as Cypress trees.

Only a handful of "tree masts" exist in Britain and these would be South London 's first.

Residents have scoffed at the idea, saying the plastic foliage would look ridiculous - especially in winter.

Yesterday, protesters voiced their concerns at the proposed site for the trees.

It is the Dulwich Estatesowned Pelo playing field off Gallery Road .

Adrian Hill, chairman of the Dulwich Society, said: "The existing trees are deciduous. They'll lose their leaves.

"It will look ridiculous and the plastic foliage will not blend in.

"We think they're in the wrong place.

"They'll be very prominent."

The masts, from telecom companies Orange and Vodafone, could be up to 60ft tall.

As yet, no formal application has been lodged with Southwark council to install them.

Ideal

John Major, chief executive of the Dulwich Estates, defended the proposal, saying the site was ideal.

"The trustees have formulated a policy over the years to work proactively with communications companies," he said.

"That way we have some say about where the masts go.

"The alternative is that they [telecoms companies] could put masts on pavements or public highways - areas outside our control in Dulwich - close to homes, the school, or the library for example.

"This way we can identify sites that are away from homes and away from the school.

"The Pelo site is one of these."

Orange was the first telecom company in the country to introduce masts disguised as trees.

Currently, manufacturers offer two evergreen models - Scots pines and Cypress.

A company spokeswoman said: "If we were to use an English tree such as an oak, the development would look very out of place during the autumn and winter when the real trees shed their leaves."

Dan Rosenberg is with Public Interest Lawyers.

What follows is self-explanatory - read and enjoy. I will continue a dialogue with Dan and his client, not least in order to ascertain the future career prospects of the inept Wycombe DC officers responsible.

David B



Dear David and Karen

Further to your emails and my conversation with David, I set out very brief details of the case below.

We acted for David Reynolds of Marlow, Bucks. Together with other local residents, he had opposed a 'prior approval' application by T-Mobile for a mast adjacent to his house. 135 residents had signed a petition against the mast, and numerous residents had written in to Wycombe District Council opposing the mast. Approval for the mast was given under delegated powers on 22 October 2004. All local ward councillors had objected to the mast.

We lodged a Judicical Review application just before the 3 month deadline expired in January. We were challenging on three main grounds:

(i) The coverage map submitted on behalf of the applicant was potentially misleading as it failed to show the coverage from another T-Mobile site which had recently obtained planning permission. This had the potential to affect judgments of and suggestions for alternative sites.

(ii) The applicant's agent made an error with regard to the location of a potential site share Orange mast. They gave its grid reference as the farm buildings of the farm whose land it was on. It was actually over the hill from the farm buildings. This obviously affects that potential site as an alternative.

(iii) The local authority did not consult the local school, which was 150 metres from the mast, contrary to PPG 8. The operator had, and the school had not responded. We obtained a witness statement from the headteacher explaining the initial lack of response, and the response she would have made had she been consulted by the local authority. Wycombe DC rather bizarrely tried to explain their lack of consultation with the school by explaining that it was not near to the mast.

Wycombe DC submitted their Grounds of Resistance, but following discussions with T-Mobile's solicitors decided not to continue defending the case.

The final consent order went to the court today. The mast had already been erected, and by the terms of the Order it will not be made operational unless a full (retrospective) planning application is allowed. If the application is rejected, the mast will be removed.

David Reynolds and the other residents now anticipate fighting that further planning application.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can also put Mr. Reynolds in touch with you if you wish.

Kind regards

Dan Rosenberg

Dear Mr Rosenberg,

By way of introduction, I am a trustee and member of Mast Sanity and have been sent your e-mail exchange with Karen Barratt, our Communications Director, with the request that I respond to you.

As the member of Mast Sanity responsible for advising on planning matters, I am constantly being asked for the contact details of solicitors with expert knowledge in the field. Your firm is, as you will know, on our list and thus we are particularly delighted to hear about your success in having High Wycombe's decision quashed. We are most certainly interested in giving this case the widest possible circulation and accordingly would be most grateful for full details.

Thank you for getting in touch with us and I look forward to hearing from you.

The American people are waking up to the fact that the country is controlled by a ruling elite which does not represent them. The top US politicians and business leaders are a wealthy minority who are nothing like ordinary people and have no real interest in their concerns. The nation is run by an elite class of extremely wealthy people who do not experience the same problems as the majority of the masses and have an entirely different agenda. Elections are nothing but a competition between two or three representatives of the elite backed by major corporations. Votes and ordinary cannot create or influence policy; only money, power and privilege can.

We were a Messianic people. We did no wrong, and we destroyed the Darth Vaders who did. We were international heroes. If you were a citizen of the United States somewhere else in the world, you were, indeed, received with flowers and cheers. Drum roll, please. Then we won the Cold War, became the world's only Super Power, set out to make the rest of the world just like us, and began immediately to lose -- our international image and our integrity. Our president told us that it was all because people were jealous of us. 'Some people hate freedom,' he said. And, apparently, some people believed it. Then, in May, Amnesty International, the world's most reputable human rights organization, released its annual report on the state of human rights around the world. That's where the shock came in...

By chance, the same day that Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith was released in theaters across the country, the world learned of the Bush administration's plans to weaponize space. ... Among the weapons the Air Force might deploy are space-based lasers, a space plane capable of delivering a half-ton payload anywhere in the world in 45 minutes, and the 'rods from god.' The rods are currently just a concept -- and have been since the early 1980s -- but, if the myriad technical and political hurdles to deployment could be overcome, the system could represent a tremendous leap forward in the military's ability to destroy underground, hardened facilities of the type that have allowed Iran and other rogue states to violate the Nuclear Proliferation Treaty with impunity...

On Sunday, the Iraqi government announced that Saddam Hussein would be charged with crimes going back to the 1982 killings of almost 160 men in the Shiite village of Dujail. The evidence will come in no small measure from reports by Amnesty International and other human rights groups published before and during the United States' semi-secret alliance with Hussein in the 1980s. This unsavory partnership with Hussein was partly created by Donald Rumsfeld when he was a special presidential envoy to the Middle East in 1983 and '84. But that sorry bit of history did not stop Rumsfeld and the president last week from bludgeoning Amnesty International for daring to criticize the Bush administration's torture-stained offshore prison system -- in Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere...

No, I am not really an anarchist in the sense of believing neither in law nor in government. I think both are good things, properly conceived, established, and maintained. That would be pretty much along lines sketched in the Declaration of Independence, following the idea of John Locke, developed further by Adam Smith, John Stuart Mill, Ludwig von Mises, Ayn Rand, Robert Nozick and a host of other classical liberals and libertarians. What has turned me into a practicing anarchist, one who has no respect of the actual legal order under which he lives -- at least not some of the now salient and dominant elements -- is how far the country's laws -- including the way its Constitution is understood by the Supreme Court -- have strayed from the principles of the Declaration...

According to John Walters, the Supreme Court got it right on medical marijuana. His argument comes down, essentially, to saying that medical marijuana doesn't work, and should be illegal, even if it does make some people 'feel better,' a phrase which Mr. Walter puts, condescendingly, inside quotes. As though feeling better when one is sick is somehow no big deal and a vaguely tawdry aspiration. Mr. Walters is the nation's 'Drug Czar,' a hideously ugly title that any American should be ashamed to hold. In this role, Mr. Walters co-ordinates -- or something -- the government's $35 billion anti-drug effort. Plainly, this crusade is not working and, so, according to Mr. Walters's own logic ought to be put out of its misery. This, of course, will not happen. Mr. Walters will continue to spend lavishly to make citizens behave the way he -- and a few thousand agents and bureaucrats -- believe they ought to. This is not surprising. It is what people who nurse governmental aspirations do ... they rule...

The White House relationship with the FBI and CIA was a subject of debate in Washington even before last week, when Mark Felt, the former number two man at the FBI, revealed that he secretly helped bring down President Nixon. Now the question is how the Deep Throat revelation could change the thinking of liberals and conservatives on the delicate matter of how much independence should be given to agencies with the power to spy. The views of both sides stem largely from steps taken between Sept. 11, 2001, and the start of the Iraq war in March 203. In the eyes of many liberals, the Bush administration pressured both the FBI and CIA in ways that distorted, and perhaps even corrupted, their normal functioning...

Ergebnisse der Volksabstimmungen in Frankreich und den Niederlanden gegen die Arroganz der Macht verteidigen

Zur Ablehnung des EU-Verfassungsvertrages durch 61,8 Prozent der Niederländer erklärt Wolfgang Gehrcke, außenpolitischer Sprecher des PDS-Vorstandes:

Nach der Volksabstimmung in Frankreich hat nun auch die Bevölkerung der Niederlande mit noch größerer Mehrheit den europäischen Verfassungsvertrag abgelehnt. Die Bürgerinnen und Bürger Frankreichs und der Niederlande gehören inzwischen europaweit zu den bestinformierten Menschen, was die Fragen der Europäischen Verfassung angeht. Gewonnen haben in beiden Ländern die Demokratie und der Europagedanke. Die Menschen hatten das Gefühl und die Sicherheit, sie selbst entscheiden, und nicht, es wird über sie entschieden. Diese Lehre gilt es zu beherzigen.

Alle Überlegungen, den vorliegenden Verfassungsvertrag außerhalb der Legalität einer Ratifizierung durch alle EU-Mitgliedsstaaten doch noch in Kraft setzen zu wollen, können nur als Arroganz der Macht verstanden werden. Das schadet Europa und schadet der Demokratie.

Die PDS wird als Mitglied der Partei der europäischen Linken (EL) dazu beitragen, das Nachdenken über ein anderes Europa mit einer anderen, besseren Verfassung zu befördern. Die Kräfte des kritischen Ja und des demokratischen Nein sind jetzt herausgefordert, ihren eigenen Beitrag zur Gestaltung Europas zu leisten, ihre eigenen Vorschläge konkret zu formulieren.

Neoliberale Politik und Ideologie haben so weitgehend an Akzeptanz bei den Menschen in den verschiedenen europäischen Ländern verloren, dass nunmehr konzeptionelle Vorschläge für ein soziales, solidarisches und friedfertiges Europa eine neue Chance erhalten können. Politisch müssen jetzt die europäischen Richtlinien für Dienstleistungen und Arbeitszeitregelungen grundlegend verändert werden.

Hartz IV muss weg - ohne Wenn und Aber

Zur Debatte um Änderungen an Hartz IV und den Plänen von Minister Clement, Leistungsmissbrauch stärker zu verfolgen, erklärt die stellvertretende Vorsitzende der PDS Katja Kipping:

Festgefügt war die große Koalition der sozialen Grausamkeiten aus Union, Grünen, SPD und FDP, als es darum ging, Hartz IV durch die Instanzen zu peitschen und Millionen Menschen in die Armut zu stürzen.

Jetzt, in Wahlkampfzeiten will es keiner gewesen sein. Nahezu täglich wird von denen, die Armut per Gesetz verordneten, nun laut über Vorschläge zur "Milderung" des Unheils nachgedacht. Die Grünen wollen Hartz IV sogar zu einer "echten Grundsicherung ausbauen.

Allein Minister Clement entdeckt sogar "massenhaften Missbrauch an Leistungen", die kaum zum Überleben reichen. Statt sich angestrengt um neue Arbeitsstellen und Ausbildungsplätze zu bemühen, will er jetzt den Ärmsten nachstellen.

Die PDS ist die einzige Partei, die von Anfang an die Agenda 2010 und die Hartz-Gesetzgebung als zutiefst unsozial und ungerecht kritisiert hat. Hartz IV braucht keinen Weichzeichner. Hartz IV gehört abgeschafft, weil es bei den schwächsten Gliedern der Gesellschaft Armut zementiert. Hartz IV ist Gift, nicht nur für den Osten.

Dr. Scheiner ist bestellter Gerichtsgutachter, er ist Mediziner, engagiert in der Bürgerwelle, dem Zusammenschluß der handykritischen Bürgerinitiativen, er ist Referent und Podiumsteilnehmer bei Expertenhearings.

Sein Wissen über die gesundheitlichen Auswirkungen der Mobilfunktechnologie hat er in diesem Standardwerk zusammengetragen.

In diesem Buch haben die neuesten wissenschaftlichen Untersuchungen Eingang gefunden, sei es die große Melatonie-Studie, seien es die aktuellsten Doppelblindstudien, seien es die neuen Erkenntnisse bezüglich der Blut-Hirn-Schranke, seien es die aufhorchen lassende tragische Situation bei unseren Kindern. All das finden sie in diesem Buch, die wirtschaftlichen und die politischen Hintergründe werden beleuchtet und nicht zu letzt hat die große europaweite REFLEX-Studie die die EU in Auftrag gegeben und finanziert hat Eingang gefunden in dieses aktuelle Werk.

Wer jetzt noch sagt die Gefährlichkeit und die Schädlichkeit von digital gepulsten elektromagnetischen Wellen, wie sie bei der Handytechnologie eingesetzt werden, sei nicht bewiesen, ist entweder absolut nicht auf dem neuesten Stand der Wissenschaft oder er lügt.

Sein unverwechselbarer Stil und seine Erfahrungen als langjähriger Referent auf Infoveranstaltungen und Hearings und an Infotischen auf der Straße, als Gutachter und als Mediziner ist es zu verdanken, das dieses sachkundige und kompetente Werk so geschrieben ist, daß es für jeden leicht zu lesen und zu verstehen ist.

Epping Forest Guardian

By James Webb

DETERMINED residents have warned Orange "we'll be ready" after the phone company revealed that it may re-apply to put up a mast at Marlow Football Club.

People living near the stadium, in Oak Tree Road, are preparing to lock horns with the telecommunications giant once again. Orange is currently recover-ing from the recent shock of losing its fight to build an aerial.

The Secretary of State's Plann-ing Inspectorate threw out the 58ft application earlier this month, much to the delight of hundreds of protestors, including Green MEP Caroline Lucas.

Orange told the Free Press it would not be appealing against the decision which ruled the mast would harm the living conditions of neighbouring residents.

However, a spokesman said that they hadn't ruled out re-examining the possibility of submitting a new application.

She said: "That is still a possibility. It would not be the same as the previous application as that has already been refused but we can't confirm that we have ruled it out completely."

Residents celebrated the Planning Inspectorate's findings on Friday, May 13, which ruled the mast as "visually intrusive" and said it would "significantly impair" the lives of homeowners in Oak Tree Avenue.

However, it would appear that Orange is determined to push ahead with plans to extend its phone coverage across Marlow.

The spokesman added: "We won't be challenging the Planning Inspectorate's decision based on the fact that the inspector's comments were fair and we don't feel we would have grounds.

"However, we do still have a coverage requirement in the area and we will be sending out an engineer to the area sometime in the next few weeks. The old fire station was a site that we've lost so there is a degree of coverage which needs restoring."

She added: "The football club mast was to supply central Marl-ow so we are trying to build coverage in central Marlow at the same time as restoring coverage to that area.

Barry Fentiman, who helped set up the Local Marlow Community Campaign Group to block the mast application, warned Orange that the fight was not over.

He said: "We are very pleased that they are not going to be appealing against the decision and if they go for a different application on the football club we will be ready for them."
