Elizabeth Holtzman demands accountability of Bush et al

In a newly-published article in The Nation former New York Congressmember Elizabeth Holtzman, who served on the committee that voted to impeach Richard Nixon calls on the public and the press to demand President Bush and his senior White House staff be held accountable for the torture of Abu Ghraib and be prosecuted under the 1996 War Crime Act."

Phone mast protests

Ilford Recorder

30 June 2005

DETERMINED residents are preparing to do battle in the High Court to stop a mobile phone mast being put up in a conservation area close to a primary school.

Last month, a planning inspector overturned Redbridge Council's refusal and allowed T-Mobile's appeal, granting planning permission for the 11.7m high mast on land adjacent to the Bowling Club, Aldersbrook Road , Wanstead.

Mother-of-three Elizabeth Canavan, of Merlin Road, Wanstead, rushed to stop work on the site on Monday afternoon and was soon joined by reinforcements.

Sitting on a mound of soil with her 15-month old daughter Eva, Mrs Canavan said she is "completely determined" to protect children at nearby Aldersbrook Primary School, Harpenden Road, Wanstead, from a potential cancer risk.

The protesters have set up Aldersbrook Residents Mast Solution (ARMS) and served papers on the planning inspectorate on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, a group of angry Newbury Park residents staged a protest on Saturday against plans to erect a mast in the heart of their community.

FAMILY’S MAST FEARS FOR EPILEPTIC DAUGHTER

30/06/2005 Woking News and Mail

By PHILIP SKELTON

A GOLDSWORTH Park family claims it is prepared to sell the family home and move if an application to place a fourth mobile phone mast nearby is approved.

Ade and Carol Gray, from Westmead are worried for their daughter, eight, who suffers from epilepsy, following a plan to build a mast at the junction of Wyndham Road and Lockfield Drive that would make a total of four in the area.

Although the application for a fourth mast was refused by Woking’s planning committee on Tuesday June 14, residents living in the area believe it is likely the applicant Vodafone will launch an appeal against the council’s decision.

If successful, this appeal would overturn the council’s refusal and the mast would be built regardless of concerns about health.

Mr and Mrs Gray have managed to control their daughter’s condition with carefully selected medication but they fear that if a fourth mast is placed close to their house it could prompt their daughter to suffer further seizures.

Their fears are founded on independent research, which they claim shows radiation from phone masts can make a sufferer’s epilepsy worse or even trigger the condition in other people.

Mr and Mrs Gray spoke about a case study published last year that focused on a girl from Wales.

Her epilepsy was successfully controlled to the age of six and with the help of medication she was able to limit her seizures to one a month on average.

After a mobile phone mast was put in place these increased to four every day yet stopped when she was taken away from the property and when the mast was switched off.

The Gray family also spoke about other health concerns they claim are increasingly found in people living near to phone masts.

These include learning, concentration and behavioural disorders, fluctuations in blood pressure, cancer, headaches and tinnitus.
Speaking from his home in Westmead, Ade Gray said: “We are the experiment.

“If we stay living here and a fourth mast goes up, our children will be part of the experiment.

“If our child’s epilepsy suddenly worsens after years of being well-controlled or if anything else happens to any of us, we will form part of the statistics concerning the safety or otherwise of these masts.

“So will all the other people living near to these masts.

“We are all involuntary live subjects for this real-life experiment while money and profit are being put first.

“Where are the people who will stand up and strongly question the claim that these masts are safe?

“The government should be objectively protecting the public from potential danger when health suspicions are raised instead of hoping they will go away.”

Goldsworth East councillor Bryan Cross said: “I very much support Mr and Mrs Gray.

“I do not think the Gray family should be put in such a position where they have to move house to ensure their family’s quality of life.

“I respect that they have been very consistent in voicing their concerns wherever mobile phone masts applications have been lodged in residential areas and not just in Lockfield Drive.

“I very much share similar concerns and I am concerned with the inability for any member of the public to ascertain the true position regarding the health effects of mobile phones masts.”

AGENCY CALLED IN TO LOOK AT PHONE MAST HEALTH EFFECTS

Tamworth Herald

10:30 - 30 June 2005

The Health Protection Agency has been called in to analyse the results of a survey which appears to show that a high number of Coleshill residents and schoolchildren are suffering with health problems.

Warwickshire County Council has asked the independent agency - set up to provide protection against health dangers including radiation - to investigate residents' fears about phone masts.

The news comes after dozens of parents temporarily withdrew their children from St Edward's Catholic Primary School and Warwickshire County Council called for a mast next to the school to be removed.

County council officials say the health of the children at the school is 'a prime concern' and, although emissions tests conducted on behalf of mast owners O2 showed levels 995 times below the permitted maximum, the authority opposes the mast 'on a matter of principle'.

Eric Wood, county education officer, said: "We will support anything that we can do to remove it, and would urge O2 to relocate the mast for the peace of mind of the local community."

Gill Owen, headteacher of St Edward's, said: "Like the parents I am uneasy about the presence of the mast, and I am happy for them to campaign against it. But I would ask that they continue to conduct matters through the appropriate channels, and ensure that their children's education continues unaffected while this matter is being resolved."

However, parents say they plan to protest again from 9am on Friday and every Friday until the matter is resolved.

Oxidative Damage in the Kidney Induced by 900-MHz-Emitted Mobile Phone: Protection by Melatonin

Study

From the abstract: The aim of this study was to examine 900-MHz mobile phone-induced oxidative stress that promotes production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) on renal tubular damage and the role of melatonin on kidney tissue against possible oxidative damage in rats. The results show that melatonin may exhibit a protective effect on mobile phone-induced renal impairment in rats.

Phone mast is a 'gamble with our lives'

This group used the same tactics as we did in our local campaign. At proposal stage we collected 800+ petition and everyone said they would not use 3G phones. Campaigners should add this box to their petitions as it gives operators the info they don't want to hear - people don't want this new technology with the higher risks involved.

Phone mast is a 'gamble with our lives'

Jun 30 2005

Berkshire News website

By Richard Crowe

BRACKNELL campaigners say their health and the look of the neighbourhood will suffer if a 9.7m mobile phone mast is built near their homes.

Phone company T-Mobile wants to place the 3G mast and equipment cabins on land near Harvest Ride's junction with Newell Green in Warfield.

But angry neighbours say the mast is too close to their homes and that there is inconclusive proof that radiation beaming to a surrounding 250 metre radius will not be dangerous to their health.

Omega: The result of the Naila-Study shows that the proportion of newly developing cancer cases was significantly higher among those patients who had lived during the past ten years at a distance of up to 400 metres from the cellular transmitter site, which bas been in operation since 1993, compared to those patients living further away, and that the patients fell ill on average 8 years earlier.
http://omega.twoday.net/stories/398279


They are also concerned about the effect on nearby Larks Hill Nature Reserve and dangers the equipment cabins could have for drivers turning out of Newell Green and Harvest Ride.

Daryl Peagram, who lives with wife Edwina in nearby Hemmyng Corner, has founded Warfield Householders Against Masts (WHAM), which has collected 87 signatures for a petition.

The 34-year-old, who is technical director of Winkfield-based recruitment consultants Delta Compliance Ltd, has lobbied Bracknell MP Andrew MacKay and Warfield and Binfield ward borough councillors. He is even considering disabling the signal if all else fails.

Mr Peagram said: "Obviously the best way to stop this mast is to write to the councillors and urge them to reject it.

"But if it does go up and get switched on, I would wait until there is proof from doctors' reports that the mast is affecting health before trying to disable its signal with specialist equip-ment."

He added: "Forty-seven scientific reports say mast radiation causes anything from cancer to infertility. I hope the council will not gamble with our lives that all those scientists are wrong."

Mr Peagram said only one person questioned for the petition needed a 3G signal.

Borough council planners may consider the application at a committee meeting on July 28.

Mr MacKay has written to borough environment and leisure director Vincent Paliczka objecting to the application.

The MP commented: "I share the concerns of local residents who have approached me that this is quite an inappropriate site for a telecommunications mast.

"I believe that the mobile phone operators should get their act together and share masts where there is a limited number of sites to place them."

T-Mobile spokeswoman Sophia Parviez said radiowaves from nearby base stations compared favourably to exposure from distant masts and from TV and FM radio and other transmitters.

She said the company understood the challenge of minimising the environmental impact.

MP meets minister to voice mast concerns

by Johnathan Schroder

Enfield Independent

Enfield Southgate MP David Burrowes is pushing for new laws to clamp down on the proliferation' of mobile telephone masts in residential areas.

He had a meeting with Jim Fitzpatrick, a minister in the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, yesterday after joining more than 40 residents of Slades Hill, Enfield , at a protest on Saturday morning.

The group, who are concerned about the effect a 30-foot mobile mast would have on their health and property values, have just lost a year-long fight with telecommunications giant Orange , after the application was turned down by Enfield Council but passed on appeal by the Planning Inspectorate.

The deadline for residents to appeal against that decision at the High Court passed on Friday.

Elsa Evans, who lives in Slades Hill opposite the proposed site, admits residents have probably lost the fight against Orange as they would be unable to afford the high costs associated with taking out a civil action.

She said: "We have gone down kicking and screaming.

"I am going to have my home valued now and then again when the mast is there. I feel like the values of our homes are being snatched away."

Mr Burrowes is angry because he feels current Government legislation does not take local issues into account.

He said: "While the council does what it can, and in many cases refuses permission, it can only do so much.

"People have the choice of whether to buy a mobile phone, but at the moment residents have no choice about a mast being put on their doorstep.

"Especially with new 3G technology, there is the prospect of many more masts, which is a real concern."

He has appealed to Mr Fitzpatrick for changes in the law and has promised to carry on lobbying on behalf of residents.

'VOTERGATE' PREVIEW AVAILABLE ONLINE

From Alyssa Macy
Center for Civic Participation
June 30, 2005

http://www.centerforcivicparticipation.org

In preparation for the upcoming release of the full-length version of the documentary film "Votergate," which investigates electoral irregularities in the 2004 election process, a free 30-minute webcast preview http://votergate.org/ has been made available. The documentary, for which the Commonweal Institute played an advisory role in its early stages, explores the still-unresolved questions surrounding the use of electronic voting machines and the possibility of electoral error or even manipulation.

The film-makers -- Simon Ardizzone, Russell Michaels and Robert Carrillo Cohen -- have "traveled the country, recording elections, bewildered voters, activists protesting, corporate and government officials trying to cover up the flaws in the voting system. [They] have filmed investigations by pioneering activists, such as Bev Harris, interviewed the key players, including whistleblowers, politicians and the leading computer scientists who have proven the machines can be hacked by a 16 year old."

The online preview of "Votergate" is an initial glimpse into what they found. Check it out:

42% FAVOR IMPEACHING BUSH

IF HE LIED ABOUT IRAQ WAR, Zogby Poll

More than "two-in-five voters (42%) say they would favor impeachment proceedings if it is found the President misled the nation about his reasons for going to war with Iraq," according to the latest Zogby Poll.

The poll was taken between June 27 and June 29 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3%. Following Bush's nationally-televised speech this week his approval rating dropped again to 43%.

A large majority of Democrats (59%) say that Bush should be impeached if he lied about Iraq and one out of every four Republicans (25%) say that they would favor impeachment under those circumstances, according to the Poll. Forty three percent of independent voters favor impeachment if Bush lied about the Iraq war.

We know that Bush lied about Iraq war. We know that he should be impeached. It is because of the work of everyone, and the support of those who are promoting impeachment, that this movement can become an irresistible force in the months ahead. The ImpeachBush/VoteToImpeach.org campaign is taking the next steps in the coming months. We are launching a nationwide campaign so that every Congressional representative is flooded with calls for impeachment.

Let's all pledge to tell everyone we know to be in Washington DC on September 24 for the massive ImpeachBush/VoteToImpeach.org contingent. The bright yellow and black banners that say Impeach Bush will dominate the visual landscape around the White House on September 24. This is something historic. Please ask everyone to do their part to make it a big success.

If you can make a donation to help this movement get stronger there is no better time than right now. We are a grassroots movement. Corporate America finances Bush but the ImpeachBush/VoteToImpeach.org movement depends on the commitment and sacrifice of the people.

Mobilfunkmärchen eines Mitglieds der Strahlenschutzkommission

http://www.newsclick.de/index.jsp/menuid/472005/artid/4237787

Mit freundlicher Empfehlung an Ihre Moral wünsche ich Ihnen ultimative Entspannung bei der Lektüre.

Der Artikel bezieht sich auf die Messkampagne des IZMF in Niedersachsen, dessen Initiative hier verschwiegen wird.

Der TÜV hat die technischen Messungen im Auftrag des IZMF durchgeführt und war mit seinem Namen zugleich Dienstleister für die Erzeugung des Eindrucks von Serosität. Der niedersächsische Umweltminister hatte die "Schirmherrschaft".

Dieses Mobilfunkmärchen hat mich sicherlich nicht entspannt oder etwa beruhigt!

Da wird wieder einmal gebetsmühlenartig von den thermischen Wirkungen der Mobilfunkstrahlung erzählt, und dass es keine offiziellen Hinweise auf nicht thermische Wirkungen gibt.

Die Beschwerden tausender Betroffener werden als Spinnerei und Hysterie abgetan und neuere Erkenntnisse, z. B. aus der Reflex- Studie werden überhaupt nicht zur Kenntnis genommen!

Sobald sich im Fisch eine Made befindet, geht ein Aufschrei durch Deutschland, und keiner kauft mehr Fisch (wenigstens so lange, bis sich die Lage einigermaßen beruhigt hat und die meisten Fischhändler pleite sind).

Nach bekannt werden der Reflex- Studie hätte dies ähnlich sein müssen:

Alle Medien hätten sich demgemäß auf dieses Thema stürzen müssen und die Deutschen hätten Weltmeister im Handy- Wegwurf sein können. - Aber nichts passiert.

Das Thema wird totgeschwiegen, vielleicht auch weil die Pressefritzen sich an die eigene Nase fassen müssten, weil sie selber schon Handy-Junkies sind und sich nicht mehr vorstellen können ohne Handy leben zu können...

Hat Jemand Reaktionen aus der Politik auf die Reflex- Studie erwartet?

Da kommt nichts, weil die Politiker die UMTS- Milliarden eingesackt und bereits wieder verpulvert haben.

Bei einem Rückzieher der Politiker müssten die Milliarden wieder zurück gezahlt werden, auch von einer möglichen Nachfolge- Regierung, und wer will das schon??

Also: wenn es früher hieß, es gäbe keine gesicherten Erkenntnisse über die Schädlichkeit der Mobilfunkstrahlung, so gibt es die heute schon - aber sie werden dann eben einfach nicht zur Kenntnis genommen!

Woher kommt DIE Moral von DER Geschicht'?

Aber es war doch wirklich so gemeint von Herrn Dr Enders, dass Sie sich entspannen könnten: " Panikmache geht fehl und auch ernste Besorgnis, die moralisch immer gut klingt, weil man ja nur das Beste zur Sicherheit des Menschen will, ist unangebracht." Also bitte! Alles gut gemeint.

Die Quelle Ihrer unstillbaren Beunruhigung könnte evtl. in einem Detail, in einer unscheinbar keinen Kleinigkeit verborgen liegen. Am Ende (sic !) könnte da doch noch ein Restrisiköchen sein. Lassen Sie uns deshalb nochmal gemeinsam genauer hinschauen, Sie können sicher sein, es war dann gutgemeint:

[Zitat:]

(Frage:) Kann man also sorglos mit seinem Handy telefonieren? Und muss man sich nicht ängstigen, wenn man in der Nähe einer solchen Mobilfunkstation wohnt?

(Antwort:) So ist es, ganz klare Aussage. Panikmache geht fehl und auch ernste Besorgnis, die moralisch immer gut klingt, weil man ja nur das Beste zur Sicherheit des Menschen will, ist unangebracht.

Selbst so genannte Vorsorgemaßnahmen nach der gut gemeinten Leitlinie "Man kann ja nie wissen, ob nicht doch noch reale Risiken unterhalb der Grenzwerte nachgewiesen werden" werden derzeit extrem kontrovers diskutiert - übrigens auch im entsprechenden Expertenkreis der Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO) zu diesem Thema.

[Anm.: Hat man ja gesehen, wie Sie Frau Brundtland psychiatrisiert und hinausgedrängt haben]

Unangemessene Vorsichtsempfehlungen führen nämlich unter anderem auch dazu, dass sich Menschen real ängstigen. Deshalb müssen sich die Gegner der Mobilfunksysteme ebenfalls ihrer Verantwortung stellen - Panikmache kann Menschen krank machen.

Montag, 27.06.2005

[Zitat Ende]

Herr Prof. Dr. Enders hat wirklich nur Redundanz geliefert.

Aber die Tatsache, dass diese nun schon solange andauert, müsste doch nach biologischem Ermessen ein Zeichen sein, dass das bald mal nachlassen sollte.

Solche Konstanz der unveränderten Wiederholung ist in der Natur wirklich selten.

Selbst im Mineralischen finden Variationen statt.

Sogar bei den Elementen gibt es Zerfallserscheinungen.

Nur nicht bei der Mobilfunklobby?

Aussergewöhnlich! Geradezu aussernatürlich!

Steigt doch in der Natur die Wahrscheinlichkeit, das sich etwas ändern wird, mit jeder Wiederholung des Gleichen an.

Also muss man - sagt sich der Techniker - etwas ändern, damit alles beim Alten bleiben kann.

Nun, was liegt da nahe?

Vom technischen ins moralische Reich ist eben ein kürzerer Weg als wir gedacht hätten. Sogar Physiker, die Mitglied in der Deutschen Strahlenschutzkommission sind, die das Ministerium für Umwelt, Naturschutz und Reaktorsicherheit, Minister Herr Trittin, GRÜNE, berät, haben inzwischen eine gewissen Zusammenhang von Moral und Technik erkannt, auf eine hier charakteristische und damit unverwechselbare, weil unwandelbar immer konstante Weise, auf die man sich eben verlassen kann, auch wenn sie in anderer Umgebung erscheint.

So finden wir altbekannte Muster wieder und entdecken damit hier eine unmittelbare Übertragung aus der Atomenergie-Diskussion in die Mobilfunk-Diskussion.

Beispiel Enders:

Er spricht vom "Restrisiko", ein Begriff, der in dieser Auseinandersetzung zur politischen Bedeutung gekommen ist.

"Restrisiko" wurde von der Atomlobby benutzt, um die angeblich naturgegebene Unumgänglichkeit einer Risiko-Akzeptanz in uns hineinzuhypnotisieren.

Befindet sich Herr Enders in Bezug auf Mobilfunk schon in einer entsprechenden Phase?

Nicht nur das Kapital hat seinen Weg aus den steuerfreien Risikozurückstellungen der Atomindustrie in die Mobilfunktechnik gefunden. Die Denkfabriken haben sich von Kernforschungszentren in Forschungszentren verwandelt. Und - von wegen Konstanz, praktisch hat man da schon immer gedacht - die Moral ist gleich mitgekommen!

[Zitat:]

Aber Tenor [anschwellender Bocksgesang] aller [wo sind die anderen geblieben?] Epidemiologen und anderer [ach hier sind sie!] Fachleute [er meint wohl doch nur sich selbst] ist: Wenn es ein Restrisiko gibt, was übrigens nie [!, d.h., damit haben wir es immer zu tun, nichts ist hier ungewöhnlich] definitiv ausgeschlossen werden kann [wir können einfach nichts dagegen machen], dann muss [was anderes kommt nicht in Frage] es sehr, sehr klein sein. Sonst hätten wir [!] es schon lange bemerkt.

[Zitat Ende]

Wie soll man also unter dem Gesichtspunkt der hier waltenden Moral den von Herrn Dr. Enders angeführten Begriff eines "Restrisikos" auffassen?

Vorschlag, die Bedeutung des Begriffes je nach der Quelle seines Gebrauchs zu bestimmen.

Hier also die Summe aller Summen zur Bestimmung des Begriffes "Restrisiko mentis Enderis":

Es handelt sich um ein Risiko, das, sollten wir es nicht bald überwunden haben, ab einer gewissen Phase seiner Entfaltung eine Dynamik entwickeln wird, die uns - dann unabwendbar - den Rest geben wird; es war einfach zu klein, um es rechtzeitig bemerkt haben zu können.

Wissen Sie welches Risiko ich meine?

Hoffe, Sie ängstigen sich jetzt nicht zu sehr!

Aber keine Bange. In der Natur bleibt das nicht allzu lange konstant.

Dieser Artikel ("Interview") von Dr. Enders ist eine interessante Variante der indirekten Psychiatrisierung von Mobilfunk-Opfern.

Und schuld daran sind Menschen wie ich.

Bitte, Herr Dr. Enders, nennen Sie mir Namen und Anschrift von Menschen, bei denen Sie eine Angsterkrankung feststellen konnten, die durch ärztliche Warnungen vor Gesundheitsschäden durch Mobilfunk ausgelöst wurde. Da ich solche Warnungen verbreite, werde ich mich ggf. persönlich entschuldigen.

Weiterer Vorschlag:

Sie machen sich auf und suchen in einer Stadt der Grössenordnung wie Bamberg eine Zahl von mindestens 130 Ärzten, die auf einer öffentlich gemachten Liste erklären, dass sie wissen, dass Mobilfunkstrahlung gesundheitlich vollständig unschädlich ist und dass sich niemand von ihren Kollegen eine Angstkrankheit (oder wollten sie nicht eigentlich sagen "Psychose" ?) einreden zu lassen braucht. Dasselbe für Städte wie Hof, Coburg , Stockach und ...

Vorschlag an Herrn Dr. Enders übersandt.

July 1st 2005

Climate change, the biggest threat facing our planet, is at the top of the agenda at the G8. Now is the time to demand radical action to deliver climate justice.

Climate change will devastate some of the world's poorest countries. G8 countries represent just 13% of the world's people, but account for 45% of climate emissions.

The G8 leaders must show international leadership and agree to take action to significantly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

Tabuzonen für Funkmasten

01.07.2005

Volksbegehren startet am 5. Juli - Mehr Rechte für Kommunen und Bürger

Weiden. (ps) "Wir leben in einer sehr mobilen Zeit, und wir wollen die Zeit nicht zurückdrehen", versichert Rita Wiesend. "Aber wir wollen, dass die Mobilfunkmasten zumindest nicht in sensiblen Bereichen - also in Wohngebieten, bei Schulen und Kindergärten - errichtet werden." Gemeinsam mit einer Reihe von Gleichgesinnten treibt sie das Volksbegehren "Gesundheitsvorsorge im Mobilfunk" voran.

"Überparteilich", wie die ÖDP-Kreisvorsitzende im Landkreis Neustadt/ WN betont. "Die ÖDP hat die Initiative lediglich angestoßen. Das Aktionsbündnis steht auf einer breiten Basis, wird von zahlreichen Vereinen, Organisationen und auch Ärzten unterstützt." Im Raum Weiden-Neustadt/ WN haben die Akteure gleich drei Aktionsbündnisse aus der Taufe gehoben, die die Bevölkerung über die Zielsetzungen des Volksbegehrens informieren sollen. Betreut werden sie von den ÖDP-Mitgliedern Hans Köferl (Bereich Weiden und Landkreis Neustadt-Süd), Rita Wiesend (Raum Eschenbach) und Dr. Barbara Kindl (Raum Vohenstrauß).

Keine freie Standortwahl

"Ziel ist, dass Mobilfunksendeanlagen künftig nur noch mit Baugenehmigung errichtet werden dürfen. So haben Kommunen und Bürger ein Mitspracherecht bei der Standortwahl", erklärt Dr. Kindl, stellvertretende ÖDP-Kreisvorsitzende. "Der Aspekt der Gesundheitsvorsorge soll außerdem im Landesentwicklungsplan verankert werden. Dann können die Bürger ihn auch einfordern."

Nach Ansicht der Frauenärztin aus Vohenstrauß ist es dafür höchste Zeit. Denn: "Wissenschaftliche Studien belegen, dass bei Personen, die zehn Jahre lang 400 Meter und näher bei einer Mobilfunkanlage wohnen, wesentlich mehr neue Krebsfälle auftreten als bei weiter entfernt lebenden Patienten." Dr. Kindl verweist hier auf die so genannte Naila-Studie, die von 1999 bis 2004 erstellt wurde. Selbst das Bundesministerium für Strahlenschutz warne Kinder und Jugendliche vor der Strahlengefahr durch Handys. "Erbgutschäden sind nachgewiesen."

Allein wegen UMTS seien 40 000 neue Sendemasten in der Bundesrepublik geplant. "Wenn das wahr wird, dann haben wir einen Großversuch an der deutschen Bevölkerung", warnt Rita Wiesend. Dabei sei es völlig unsinnig, wenn jeder Netzbetreiber weiterhin eigene Funkmasten errichte. Dr. Kindl: "Das ist, wie wenn Bahn AG, Vogtlandbahn und alle anderen jeweils ein eigenes Schienennetz aufbauen würden."

Selbst ein "Baurechtspapst" wie H. Busse habe es geschafft, "dass sein Wohngebiet in Starnberg für Sendemasten tabu ist". Jede Kommune müsse derartige Tabuzonen einrichten können, lautet deshalb die Forderung im Volksbegehren. Dr. Kindl: "In Eslarn und Schirmitz rotieren die Bewohner, weil neue Funkmasten geplant sind. Bisher haben sie kaum eine Chance, etwas dagegen zu unternehmen. Das muss sich ändern."

Eintragung ab 5. Juli

Am 5. Juli startet das Volksbegehren. Wenn es erfolgreich sein soll, müssen sich bis 18. Juli zehn Prozent aller Wahlberechtigten in den Rathäusern in die Unterschriftenlisten eintragen. Im Raum Weiden-Neustadt wären das rund 80 500 Personen. Die Organisatoren sind zuversichtlich, diese Hürde zu nehmen. Rita Wiesend: "Gesundheit ist schließlich das höchste Gut."

Help to close the Dolphin Tank at Manati Park Bavaro

Thank you very much for having signed the Petition "Help to close the Dolphin Tank at Manati Park Bavaro!!!" http://www.thePetitionSite.com/takeaction/309558120

You have supported this petition together with more then 3.100 other people interested in this issue. Unfortunately - so far - it is a very difficult struggle in the Dominican Republic to reach our goal to free these dolphins and to make an end to their suffering and their current situation of being misused in tiny tanks for entertainment and money making.

THERE IS HOPE NOW: the authorities in the Dominican Republic have changed lately and seem to be more interested in nature and animal conservation and therefore - to reach our common goal to free these dolphins - it would be a perfect time if it is possible for you to write just a one sentence email to the responsible autorities addressed to:

areasprotegidas@medioambiente.gov.do
bcc: freemanatidolphins@gmx.net


Lic. Daneris Santana
Subsecretario de Areas Protegidas y Biodiversidad
Secretaria de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales

Honourable Sir

please finally close the Manati Park dolphin tank and release these dolphins to the wild!

Thank you



- not more - just a sentence similar like this - but if more then 3100 people who signed the online petition could write just a one sentence letter NOW to the authorities we might finally reach our goal.

Thanks for supporting this effort.

Tour "Courage to the Parliament" gegen Softwarepatente

Online-Demo goes Straßburg

Unmittelbar vor der Entscheidung am 6. Juli im Europäischen Parlament über die Richtlinie zu Softwarepatenten starten Campact und Attac die Tour "Courage to the Parliament". An der Online-Demonstration haben sich mittlerweile schon über 4.250 Menschen aus ganz Europa mit einem Photo beteiligt (Mitmachen unter: http://www.demo.stoppt-softwarepatente.de). Das Photo-Mosaik bringen wir mit der Tour als großes Transparent nach Straßburg.

Starten wird die Tour am 3. Juli vor dem Bundesjustizministerium in Berlin. Die Justizministerin setzt sich über einen gegenteiligen Bundestagsbeschluss hinweg und tritt für die Richtlinie der EU-Kommission ein. Unsere Aktion wird die Konsequenzen von Softwarepatenten darstellen: Programmierer in Handschellen und Sträflingsanzügen, die mit Klagen von Patentanwälten überzogen werden.

Am 4. Juli macht die Tour Halt in Düsseldorf, Europas Hochburg für Patentverletzungsprozesse. In der Königsallee werden Aktionen vor Patentsanwaltskanzleien stattfinden. Am 5. Juli wird die Tour Straßburg erreichen. Vor dem Europäischen Parlament verbleibt die Online-Demonstration als Mahnmal bis zum Ende des Abstimmungsprozesses.

An allen drei Orten freuen wir uns über MitdemonstrantInnen.
Treffpunkte unter: http://www.campact.de/stopptswp/pe280605

Heise.de kündigte die Tour bereits an:

Etliche Abgeordnete weichen von ihrer bisherigen Position ab und wollen für die weitreichenden Änderungsanträge der EVP-Schattenberichterstatterin Pia-Noora Kauppi stimmen. Diese sehen eine klare Unterscheidung zwischen reiner Programmlogik und technischen Erfindungen vor. Softwarepatente würden hiermit verhindert.

The nation weeps as Bush lies

06/28/05

George W. Bush knows no shame. Having presided over the deaths of 1,700-7,000 American kids, for lies he propagated, President Bush used tonight's message to extend his lies, and launch new, brazen mistruths. George Bush proved one thing tonight. He cares not what the American people think, and he further thinks they are too stupid to realize when they are being repeatedly lied to. The President's lies are in bold, followed by the truth... [a detailed annotated review of each of the flood of lies Bush told]

Federal funding for mental health screening of kids

06/27/05

On Friday Congress defeated an amendment I introduced that would have prevented the federal government from moving forward with an Orwellian program to mandate mental health screening of kids in schools. This program, recommended by a presidential commission, has not yet been established at the federal level. However, your tax dollars are being given to states that apply for grants to establish their own programs -- and a full-fledged program run by the Department of Health and Human Services is on the way. ... The psychiatric establishment and the pharmaceutical industry of course support government mental health screening programs in schools, because they both stand to benefit from millions of new customers...

Who's in the army now

06/30/05

As we're often told, 1 million men and women serve in the U.S. Army. So, why is it such a strain to keep a mere 150,000 in Iraq? What are the other 850,000 doing? Why can't some of them be sent there, too? And if they really can't be spared from their current tasks, what broader inferences can be drawn about America's military policy? Should we bring back the draft to provide more boots on the ground -- or, alternatively, scale back our global ambitions so fewer boots will be needed? First, let's look at those million soldiers. Who are they? The Web site GlobalSecurity.org has a pie chart breaking them down into categories. It turns out that fewer than 40 percent of them -- 391,460 -- are combat soldiers. And fewer than 40 percent of those combat soldiers -- 149,406 -- are members of the active armed forces. (The rest are in the National Guard and Army Reserve.)

Constitutional hypocrisy and the desecration amendment

07/01/05

A day after championing passage of the flag desecration amendment in the House of Representatives as a victory for mom, apple pie, and the American way, conservative radio talk show hosts took to the airwaves and chastised the United States Supreme Court for its decision upholding the power of cities to take private property for private development projects. This decision, according to many conservative hosts, is an assault on private property and the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution for the United States. Apparently, conservative talk show hosts have been blinded by the red, white and blue and cannot distinguish one assault on private property from another. Since the flag desecration amendment, at its core, is nothing but an assault on private property under the guise of patriotism, their commentaries on the relationship between private property and freedom went from historical fact to constitutional hypocrisy...

Moral cowards in hiding

07/01/05

Increasing numbers of Americans now realize that they had allowed themselves to be gulled. But so deep was their psychic investment in Mr. Bush's necktie party, that most were unwilling to cut their losses, admit to egregious moral error on their part, and demand an end to the continuation of the deadly fraud. Because the flag had become an expression of war-mania, these people no longer felt comfortable hiding behind it. What evolved from this foggy state of moral confusion were the bumper-stickers with the words 'peace is patriotic' superimposed over a picture of the flag. One could thus appear to be both a patriot -- even as the government continued its butchery -- and an advocate of peace!

Some tricky ideas to watch out for

06/30/05

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712-1778) was a very influential social and political philosopher who argued that although human nature is benign and good, society has corrupted us all and now we are pretty nasty and also 'everywhere in chains.' He also defended the dubious idea of 'the general will,' some superhuman source of obligation we must all obey, out of which grew all kinds of harmful collectivist ideas that are used by some folks to rationalize the violation of individual rights. Rousseau's notion of the innocent and good savage, corrupted by society, is actually a great confusion. If we are all so nice and gentle to begin with, how come society turned out to be so nasty and mean? What is society, anyway, other than large assemblies of human beings; so if society is making us all nasty, it is, of course, people who are making us nasty...

As you can tell, the wording of BofR is plain language. Everyone can understand it, including Supreme Court judges. It enshrines the nonaggression principle as the central part of our heritage.

Bush the melting

07/01/05

Pride may goeth before the fall, but with politicians like George W. Bush, far too much time separates the pride part from the fall part. The damage that he has wrought in this country and the world goes beyond accurate enumeration -- most of it made possible because he has been able to use 9-11 as his grand excuse to pose as God's sword to smite his political enemies at home and abroad. He should have slunk away after 9-11, having failed miserably in his primary duty, but instead he used a crisis for personal and governmental aggrandizement. That's the pride part. Now, however, his fortunes have changed dramatically -- with the fall part finally kicking in. Many of us remember that Clinton was highly unpopular -- in fact, I recall sensing that he was the most hated president of my lifetime. Well, his highest disapproval rating in his two terms was 33 percent. I can recall feeling buoyed by the knowledge that fully one-third of the public hated the president. But now look at the newest ABC News poll: Bush's disapproval rating is 51 percent -- not nearly as high as it should be, but enough to give any freedom lover a lift...

PHONE MAST PLANNED IN BUSY HOUSING AREA

This is Somerset

18:00 - 30 June 2005

A 12-metre communications mast could be put up in one of Wells' busiest residential areas. Telecommunications company 3 are in the process of getting their hands on a site on or near St Thomas Street and at the moment the disused petrol station on Bath Road is top of their list of potential locations.

The telecommunications equipment that they wish to install comprises a 12-metre high slimline monopole, painted to match the streetlamps in the area, incorporating three antennae and a 20cm transmission dish.

The plans have not yet been formally submitted to Mendip District Council, but a consultation document has been given to Wells City Council asking for their comments on the proposal.

The company 3 say that this site has been chosen because "it provides the required level of coverage for this mainly residential area" and "the siting and design maximises the distances from as many residential properties as possible and also maintains the space between existing street lamps".

They claim that the design of the mast will minimise the visual and environmental impact on the surrounding area, but at 12-metres high it will be considerably taller than the neighbouring streetlamps.

Seven alternative sites in the vicinity have been considered and discounted.

St Thomas 's Church was deemed unsuitable because it would require development in a conservation area, and two locations on the former hospital site were also dismissed for the same reason.

Consideration was given to sites on either side of the entrance to Hawkers Lane but the tall trees on one side would have interfered with the coverage and the on the other side it would be too close to a house.

A site on the open grassed land on Woodbury Avenue was discounted because the installation would be too prominent and a location on the western side of the entrance to the former garage site could not be used because the bus stop and street lamp meant that there was not enough space for the equipment.

Last week Wells City Council's planning committee decided that they needed more information before commenting on the proposal and questioned the necessity for it to be situated in the St Thomas area at all.

Mayor of Wells Norman Kennedy said: "The document they gave us was a waste of time.

"It left too many questions unanswered." Health risks relating to mobile telephones have been hitting the headlines recently.

Wells county councillor John Osman expressed his concerns about the potential dangers.

He said: "I am deeply concerned about this application going forward.

"It is too close to homes and I remain to be convinced that an installation such as this will pose no danger." But 3 say that emissions from this type of installation meet the guidelines for public exposure set by the International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection and as such will pose no danger to neighbouring residents.

Omega the guidelines are obsolete and pose danger to neighbouring residents. Read under: http://omega.twoday.net/stories/771911/

RISKS OF MASTS ARE SHOWN IN RESEARCH

This is Somerset

18:00 - 30 June 2005

I applaud the Norton-Radstock town councillors who have rejected plans for a mobile phone mast in First Avenue, Westfield. However, it is a shame that Cllrs Flyff McLaren and Rob Appleyard supported the plans and fail to understand the health risks associated with the electromagnetic radiation emitted from these masts.

They are wrong to suggest there is no evidence of health risks.

Independent research regularly proves this technology is unsafe. Look at the Mast Sanity website for all the evidence.

Cllr Appleyard also fails to understand that the harm from these masts does not come from the power or the heating effect of these emissions.

The concern is the biological effect on the body, the ability to alter human cells.

Brainwave patterns pulse on a similar frequency to the low-level radiation emitted by these masts.

Independent research shows that it is this pulsing frequency of the radiation emitted that causes headaches, sleep disturbance, rashes and fatigue.

More worryingly, it also reduces melatonin, the cancer fighting hormone, being released from the pineal gland. This is why there are ill-health clusters around these masts.

Comparing mast emissions to those from satellite dishes and television aerials is preposterous because their emissions are not pulsed.

Current International Commission for Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) guidelines were adopted by government in 1992, in the technology's infancy, after subjecting animals to 20 minutes of mast electromagnetic radiation and then pronouncing it safe to humans.

These guidelines are set 9,000 times too high - human cells start to be affected at 9,000 times below the current limit.

'The Late Edition': Complaints to the BBC

I am disgusted to report that the BBC has tricked Ingrid Dickenson, Scientific Director of Mast Sanity into giving an interview that was later used in a comedy programme.

Mast Sanity and Ingrid were given assurances that the interview was going to be used seriously. Instead the interview and Acousticom demonstration was edited and the subject of side effects from mobile phone use was mocked.

Mast Sanity will make an official complaint to the BBC. The programme was the Late Edition broadcast BBC2 at 11:50pm last night.

Yesterday Mast Sanity representatives met with the Dept. of Trade and Industry, and there was a debate in the House of Commons this week. Yet the BBC chooses to treat the whole subject as a joke. They would not do this with smoking or a train crash.

If you saw this disgusting programme or wish to make the BBC know that there is real suffering of people because of living near masts or mobile phone use please e-mail:

Dear Alasdair

As discussed, I did not get the whole interview on tape. But I discussed mainly the radiation levels from masts and their health implications for the best of three hours including the German research and Freiburger Appeal.

I specifically talked about mobile phone signals in the context of the com meter only because I don't register any mast emissions on my ground floor where the interview was filmed. So when I talked about signals from mobiles I only referred to the readings at the time. My further comments about me wishing to be wrong where regarding the research about health effects NOT the meter readings. Although I explained the safety levels, this was not shown. I just was shown saying that the meter would indicate the levels in the home. Although I referred to mast emissions, at the time of the reading I obviously talked about phone emissions because this was all I could measure. The editing was done in a way which made people think that the meter would only measure the presence of mobiles in the near vacinity - obvious material for a joke! None of the serious discussions between me and their `Scientist' were shown. After my demonstration of the meters the clip finished and the Interviewer asked Robin Inz, the producer of the programme:

"Well I think she propably was wrong (that's referring to my out of context shown remark about wishing to be wrong about the health effects). So that's a mercy anyway. ( hysterical laughter on the show!)

What Robin in god's name was that box?

Robin: It was basically science in a box. That's how it works (hysterical laughter again) - using electromagnetic force and transistors.

Interwiewer: " And you can buy one of those in Wollies or something like that?

Robin: Well there are two different way in detecting where mobile phones are. You can use that box or you can go (pointing and making a funny face) "He's using one!" It's quite..( whilst waving his arms in the air and making a funny face followed by hysterical laughter again)

Interviewer: Ya, a more old fashioned system but nonetheless a reliable means of knowing where they are. Well Robin while you're still able to be with us and not taken by some dreadful disease, thank you very much for your fascinating insight - Robin Inz! (laughter and clapping)



Subject: Re: BBC interview request

I have seen the `edited' version of my interview on tonight's `The Late Edition' and I am disgusted about the way the BBC used me. You have edited the interview in a way which made me look rediculous and made a mockery of the whole subject. A lot of people who suffer the `real effects' of pulsed microwave radiation will be outraged about the way you made fun of their suffering. What does that say for the BBC?

I had `absolute repeated assurances' prior to the interview that this subject would be treated seriously and I feel utterly betrayed by the BBC. I did NOT agree to take part in a comedy!

I have asked MastSanity to make an official complaint as this interview was conducted under false pretences. I must insist that under NO CIRCUMSTANCES should this `edited' version of my interview be repeated. I never thought that the BBC could sink that low as to make false promises!

Ingrid Dickenson

If you receive this I just want to add that I too am completely outraged by this extremely unethical and abusive behaviour by the BBC.

Same here!

Don't the Press Complaints Authority deal with this type of thing? The fact that there was deception on a grand scale involved here must surely be grounds for action by a regulator.

The fact that OFCOM are regulators of the BBC now says is all - they're as unaccountable as the operators!

Der Planungs- und Umweltausschuss bevollmächtigte die Verwaltung jetzt, den Betreibern finanzielle Unterstützung beim Bau von Sendemasten anzubieten, wenn sie die Standorte für ihre Antennen nicht im Alleingang, sondern in Abstimmung mit der Stadt aussuchen.

Lange war es ruhig gewesen um das sogenannte Attendorner Mobilversorgungskonzept, mit dem die Hansestadt sich in ganz Deutschland den Ruf eines Vorreiters gegen Antennen-Wildwuchs und Strahlungsbelastung erworben hat. Tatsächlich gibt es noch keine UMTS-Antenne in Attendorn, die vorhandenen Sender auf dem Hochhaus im Schwalbenohl, dem Fernsehmast am Rappelsberg und dem Dach der Firma Damm an der Kölner Straße können Daten lediglich über die herkömmliche GSM-Technik verschicken. Doch mittlerweile liegen weitere Anfragen vor; vor allem T-mobile, Vodafone und O2 wollen auf dem Hochhaus und im Zentrum von Ennest und Neu-Listernohl endlich UMTS-fähige Sender installieren.

Die Rechtslage spielt den Betreibern in die Hände, sie können ihre Antennen aufstellen, wo sie wollen - sofern sie einen Haus- oder Grundstücksbesitzer finden, der ihnen seine Immobilie (gegen gutes Geld, versteht sich) zur Verfügung stellt. Bürgermeister Stumpf hat deshalb in der Vergangenheit mehrfach an den "Gemeinschaftssinn" der Attendorner appelliert. Denn nur wenn die Bürger vor einer Vertragsunterzeichnung mit einem der Betreiber prüfen, ob die Leitideen des Attendorner Mobikversorgungskonzeptes berücksichtigt werden, kann eine unkontrollierte Strahlenbelastung, von der heute noch niemand weiß, ob sie gesundheitsschädlich ist, verhindert werden.

Das Konzept der Stadt, entwickelt vom Nova-Institut in Köln, sieht nur wenige Senderstandorte vor, die zudem möglichst weit entfernt von jeglicher Wohnbebauung sind und wesentlich höher als alle Häuser liegen. Der Sendemast am Rappelsberg ist dafür ein Paradebeispiel. Denkbar wäre, dass weitere Masten neben der Stadthalle und im Wald oberhalb von Holzweg errichtet werden, um das Schwalbenohl, Ennest und das Industriegebiet mit UMTS zu versorgen. Fehlt ein Standort für die Innenstadt. Hier bislang angesprochene Hauseigentümer haben aber abgelehnt. Sie wollen keine Mobilfunkantenne auf dem Dach, um nicht in die Auseinandersetzungen um Strahlungsintensität und Emmissionsgefahren hineingezogen zu werden. Ein alternativer Standort wird gesucht.

Nun ist man im Rathaus gespannt darauf, wie die Betreiber (neben T-mobile, Vodafone und O2 noch E-plus) auf das Angebot der Stadt, ihnen beim Bau weiterer Masten finanziell unter die Arme zu greifen, reagieren. Denn was in Attendorn in Sachen Mobilfunk geschieht, findet anderswo in Deutschland interessierte Beobachter. Erst kürzlich weilte der Bürgermeister der hessischen Gemeinde Zierenberg (bei Kassel) in der Hansestadt, um sich bei Wolfgang Hilleke vom Amt für Wirtschaftsförderung aus erster Hand über das Attendorner Mobilfunkkonzept zu informieren.

Machen Handy-Strahlen dumm?

Bienen und Menschen im Elektrosmog

Mainz, 01.07.2005:

Wie wirkt sich der Einfluss von Elektrosmog auf Lernprozesse aus? Dieser Frage gehen derzeit Prof. Dr. Hermann Stever und Dr. Jochen Kuhn von der Universität in Landau zusammen mit Dr. Christoph Otten, Bienenwissenschaftler am DLR Fachzentrum Bienen und Imkerei, Mayen nach. Dabei stehen die Auswirkungen von elektromagnetischen Emissionen von Handys im Mittelpunkt des Forschungsexperiments.

Was wir alle wissen, soll nun wissenschaftlich erforscht werden: Handies machen dumm!

Angesichts wachsender Zahl von hyperaktiven und aggressiven Schülern, die sich nicht mehr richtig konzentrieren können, ist es nicht verwunderlich, wenn deutsche Schüler bei den Pisa-Studien schlecht abgeschnitten haben.

Und da Experimente am Menschen ausgeschlossen sind (wer sagt das eigentlich, das ist doch bereits Realität!) will man dies nun bei den Bienen erforschen.

Was für ein Schwachsinn!

Sollte aus diesen Untersuchungen tatsächlich herauskommen, dass Handies dumm machen, so würde dies niemand akzeptieren, da die Tests ja mit Bienen gemacht wurden und somit keinesfalls die Ergebnisse auf den Menschen übertragbar sind!

Hartz hilft nicht, Arbeitslosigkeit bleibt auf Höchstniveau

Hartz hilft nicht, Arbeitslosigkeit bleibt auf Höchstniveau

Zur Situation auf dem Arbeitsmarkt im Monat Juni erklärt Bundesgeschäftsführer Rolf Kutzmutz:

Die Gründe für den schwachen Rückgang der Arbeitslosigkeit um 103.000 gegenüber dem Vormonat auf jetzt 4,704 Millionen sind allein saisonbedingt.

Nach wie vor werden in Deutschland jeden Tag 2000 sozialversicherungspflichtige Arbeitsplätze vernichtet. Noch immer sind 471.000 Menschen mehr als vor einem Jahr arbeitslos. An der hohen Zahl ändert auch der Verweis auf statistische Veränderungen nichts.

Im Grunde hat sich also nichts getan im Kampf gegen die Arbeitslosigkeit. Das Verwalten von Arbeitslosen steht vor der Vermittlung in existenzsichernde Arbeit, das Fordern vor dem Fördern.

Auch die Vorschläge der konservativen Opposition sind nicht geeignet, langfristig tragfähige Arbeitsplätze zu schaffen. Mit den geforderten Einschnitten ins soziale Netz und dem Ruf nach einem Ausbau des Niedriglohnbereichs werden reguläre Arbeitsverhältnisse nur gefährdet.

Das Problem der Massenarbeitslosigkeit ist nicht zu lösen, indem ausschließlich Politik auf dem Rücken der Arbeitslosen gemacht wird.

Deshalb hat die PDS umfassende Vorschläge zur Schaffung von vollwertiger Beschäftigung gemacht: Vom gesetzlichen Mindestlohn über Korrekturen der Hartz-Gesetze bei der Leistungshöhe, den Zumutbarkeitskriterien, der Anrechnung von Altersvorsorgevermögen und Partnereinkommen sowie der Dauer der Zahlung des Arbeitslosengeldes I bis zu einer armutsfesten sozialen Grundsicherung, öffentlichen Investitionsprogrammen, Arbeitszeitverkürzung, Ausbildungsplatzumlage und einem öffentlich geförderten Beschäftigungssektor.

Anti-phone mast group fears pupils already sick

nlnews@archant.co.uk

29 June 2005

MUSWELL Hill Against the Masts campaigners are to carry out a survey of children in the area to see if they are suffering from radiation sickness.

Campaign leaders, whose children go to schools and nurseries near the 3G mast in Grand Avenue, are concerned some of them are already showing signs of radiation sickness.

Sarah Purdey, a chartered accountant and mother-of-three who set up Muswell Hill Against the Masts, said: "Some of the children are showing signs of microwave sickness such as sleepless nights and heart palpitations."

Mrs Purdey claims her own son is showing symptoms.

Anti-mast campaigners are particularly concerned following an outbreak of ill health at a school in Warwickshire - which they blame on mobile phone masts sited nearby.

An informal health survey carried out there appears to show that 98 per cent of pupils are suffering from health problems, according to Muswell Hill Against the Masts.

The group is now planning to ask Muswell Hill parents to fill in a questionnaire about their children's health.

Mast Sanity, a national campaign group against mobile phone masts, is conducting a health survey across the country in an attempt to see how many people are affected by mast microwaves.

A spokeswoman for Vodafone said: "You have to remember that a radio base station is one of many sources of electro magnetic frequency (EMF) and that would include televisions, radio, communications by fire and police, communications by taxis and then there is a whole host of other devices like shop security systems.

"So to pick out on source of EMS in the environment would be quite complicated.

The consensus of scientific opinion is that within guideline levels there is no evidence of any adverse health effects and that is based on 17 years of research."

Omega there is strong evidence of adverse health effects. See under: http://www.buergerwelle.de/body_science.html

Yasmin Skeltz, a trustee at Mast Sanity who deals with health and safety issues, said: "Mast Sanity are trying to encourage people, if they feel ill health, to fill in a form so we get some idea of what is going on around the country.

"It's completely confidential but it will give us some indication of what is happening."

Reinstate the Moratorium on Human Pesticide Testing

We did it!

In less than 24 hours, more than 25,000 of you emailed and phoned your Senators, urging them to support our bipartisan amendment to reinstate the moratorium on human pesticide testing. Thanks to your vocal lobbying efforts, our amendment passed on the Senate floor by a vote of 60-37 Wednesday. You really helped turn the tide. Until the last few hours prior to the vote, we did not have the votes. But your personal advocacy changed that.

This a huge victory for ethics and morality in science, and a huge victory for the men, women, and children who would otherwise be subjected to these cruel and inhumane tests. I can't thank you enough for your help and support on this critical issue.

So that's some good news this week. But, while I'm writing to you, I also wanted to take just a moment to respond to President Bush's speech about Iraq Tuesday night.

Frankly, I was disappointed and discouraged by the President's speech. The American people deserved to hear much more from the President about what our mission is in Iraq, how he intends to succeed in that mission, how long it will take, and how much it will cost.

President Bush's use of Osama Bin Laden's words to defend America's policies was bizarre in the extreme. And his continued attempts to link the Iraq War to September 11th is a myth. In fact, on September 11th, according to George Bush's own State Department, there was not one Al Qaeda cell in Iraq! As a result of this President's misguided war, Iraq is now a training ground for terrorists, and refusing to set a goal for withdrawal is only further fueling the insurgency.

The President defended his war and now says our mission is to "hunt down the terrorists." This mission has changed so many times it's hard to keep track -- from finding WMD's, to removing Saddam Hussein, to holding elections, to rebuilding Iraq, to training Iraqis to defend their country, and now to "hunting down terrorists."

President Bush also missed a golden opportunity Tuesday night to pledge to our troops that they would get all the equipment they need on the battlefield and all the health care they need when they come home.

All in all, the President defended the status quo and gave very little hope for an exit to this horrible quagmire. Now, it falls to the Congress to demand accountability from this administration and a clear exit strategy to ease the incredible strain on our troops, many of whom have had three tours of duty!

I'll be providing more of my own views on Iraq in a speech next week, so stay tuned for more on this important issue in the coming days.

Thanks again for your continued support!

In Friendship,

Barbara Boxer

P.S. More than 100,000 people have already emailed the White House, urging the President to withdraw John Bolton's nomination as U.N. Ambassador. But with the Senate out next week, there's still a chance that President Bush will try to sneak in a recess appointment -- bypassing the Senate's advice and consent responsibility entirely. So if you haven't yet emailed the White House about John Bolton, please do it now! http://ga4.org/campaign/new_nominee/b85g574o5tt8jn?

And then invite everyone you know to send their own message to President Bush as well! http://ga4.org/campaign/new_nominee/forward/b85g574o5tt8jn?

UMTS - Mahnwache: Initiativen aus Stadt und Land sind der Einladung der Eltern gefolgt

Medienaussendung

UMTS verbindet die Initiativen. Immer mehr wehren sich gegen den belastendenden Senderausbau.

Heute beteiligten sich Initiativenvertreter mit Transparenten an der von den Eltern der Rudolf Steiner Schule Salzburg initierten Mahnwache vor dem Schloss Mirabell in Salzburg.

Wir möchten auch darauf aufmerksam machen, dass viele Schulen und Kindergärten im Stadtgebiet und auch anderswo ähnlich und sogar stärker durch Strahlenbelastung betroffen sein dürften als die Schule in Langwied. Der Elternkreis aus der Rudolf-Steiner-Schule hält es für unverantwortlich, dass wider besseres Wissen überall Standorte in Schul- und Kindergartennähe betrieben und ausgebaut werden und dass die Bevölkerung über bestehende und geplante Senderstandorte nicht informiert wird.

Der anstehende Ausbau des UMTS-Netzes beunruhigt die Gemüter in zunehmendem Maße. Besorgte Bürger und Initiativen befürchten erhebliche gesundheitliche Belastungen, wenn der eingeschlagene Weg von Betreibern und Politikern sowie Verwaltung nicht zugunsten alternativer Konzepte verlassen wird. Das Installieren neuer Sendeanlagen birgt auf viele Jahre hinaus unabwendbare Gefahren für die Gesundheit.

Durch die Situation an der Schule hat sich das Problembewusstsein der Eltern derart geschärft, dass sie - angesichts ihrer inzwischen zahlreichen Erkenntnisse und ihrer Kontakte zu Wissenschaftlern und Ärzten - auch alle anderen Eltern ermuntern wollen, sich für den Gesundheitsschutz ihrer Kinder einzusetzen, bevor gesundheitliche Schäden eintreten. Die engagierten Eltern setzen sich mit ihren Aktionen für die Wahrung des Grundrechtes auf körperliche Unversehrtheit besonders der Kinder, unserer zukünftigen Generation, ein.

Die sich mehrenden warnenden Äußerungen von Ärzten und Wissenschaftlern sollten insbesondere von den Entscheidungsträgern wahrgenommen werden und zu einem verantwortlichen Gesundheitsschutz für die Bürger führen.

Mehr Wachheit und Eintreten für das elementare Recht auf Gesundheitsschutz für Kinder halten die engagierten Eltern für unerlässlich.

Independence Day - New Energy for America

AMERICA'S FUTURE | http://www.ourfuture.org

On July 4, 1776, our founding fathers declared our independence from an oppressive foreign power. And -- against all odds -- the movement they led won America its freedom.

Today, America faces a different form of dependence: an oppressive reliance on a diminishing supply of oil. But instead of declaring our independence, today's Republican-led Congress just passed legislation that will leave us even more dependent and vulnerable. The Apollo Alliance ( http://www.apolloalliance.org ) -- a remarkable coalition of labor unions, environmental groups, urban leaders, and citizens of common sense -- has proposed an alternative: a 10 year drive for energy independence that would create 3 million new jobs and set America free from foreign oil.

Where our leaders refuse to take up this charge, we, the people can and must lead. Everyday, each of us can act to hasten America's independence from foreign oil. From using energy efficient transportation like trains, buses, and hybrid cars, to employing energy-saving technologies in our homes, to walking, biking and simply turning lights off when we leave a room -- we, the people, can advance American energy independence, even while we indict the failure of our national leaders.

Collectively, our actions can make a powerful statement to the President and Congress that we're doing our part to promote American energy dependence, and that we expect them to do theirs. In this spirit, we ask you to share a photograph of yourself -- or a friend or family member -- taking action to promote American energy independence. We'll publish them online and shower them on the President and members of Congress to let them know that we will not forget their failure to lead.

http://action.ourfuture.org/ctt.asp?u=1742757&l=98398

Help us challenge the failure of the administration and the Congress to stand up. The administration's energy plan was cooked up by big oil lobbyists in secret meetings with Vice President Cheney. In the wake of rising gas prices, the president has changed his rhetoric but not his policy. Led by the corrupt Tom DeLay, the House passed a bill this year that is a shameless giveaway to the big oil companies that are pocketing record profits from high gas prices.

The Senate did better, recognizing the reality that rising demand for oil and global warming makes action imperative. But even their bill fails to address the root causes of today's sky-rocketing gas prices. It weds us to importing ever more oil, making our economy literally dependent on the shifting sands of Persian Gulf emirates. It stymies the birth of a new American alternative energy industry and sacrifices millions of new jobs here at home. And, it fails to adequately address the growing threats to our global environment.

On this Independence weekend, it is time for America to declare its independence once again. And we have no choice but to lead the way. Please share photographs of actions you've taken to foster American energy independence. We'll publish them to help press the President and Congress to follow our lead.

http://action.ourfuture.org/ctt.asp?u=1742757&l=98398

A generation ago, John F. Kennedy inspired Americans to accomplish what was believed to be an impossible task -- to put a man on the moon in less than a decade. Today's Apollo project is not to put a man on the moon, but to achieve American energy independence. It's time to enact a modern-day Apollo plan that will...

>> Reduce gas prices by helping Americans lead the world in reducing the demand for oil.

>> Free America from dependence on unstable oil emirates through real investments in modern energy-saving technologies.

>> Create millions of new jobs here in America while capturing the alternative energy industries of the future and rebuilding our communities for high-performance energy efficiency.

>> Protect our natural environment by mobilizing investment in pollution-reducing technologies like bio-fuels, energy efficient buildings, solar and wind power, and a new generation of clean power plants.

In the spirit of 1776, and in the spirit of John Kennedy's call to a new generation, we call for a national commitment to energy independence, and back up this call with a personal commitment to actively support our country's move to independence. Please share your photos with us today.

http://action.ourfuture.org/ctt.asp?u=1742757&l=98398

Thank you for all that you do, and best to you in celebrating your independence!


Sincerely,

Robert L. Borosage, Co-Director
Campaign for America's Future and Apollo Alliance Steering Committee Member

P.S. Please spread the word. When you're celebrating the 4th of July, please take a few minutes share news about the Apollo Alliance's push for energy independence with your friends and family, and encourage them to join the effort.


The Apollo Alliance is a joint project of the Campaign for America's Future and the Center on Wisconsin Strategy.

Bush would "raise the bloody flag of 9/11 over and over again to justify a war in a country that had nothing whatsoever to do with the terrorist attacks." Kudos for that insight! Better three years late than never, I suppose.

Bush Declares Sacrifice in Iraq to Be 'Worth It':

President Bush, facing a growing restiveness around the country and in his own party over the constant stream of casualties in Iraq, declared Tuesday night that the daily sacrifice of American lives in Iraq "is worth it, and it is vital to the future security of our country."

Bush Flops in Prime-time: Death by a thousand cuts

by Mike Whitney

He produced no plan, no strategy, and no vision; just a continuation of the same trends; the steady erosion of national confidence, a precipitous decline in credibility, and the daily loss of life.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9339.htm

Bush says "Stay the course" - The People say "Troops Out Now!"

http://www.troopsoutnow.org/

Now, more than ever, it is vital that the antiwar movement be in the streets. The Troops Out Now Coalition is joining with the September 24 National Coalition, which includes the National Council of Arab-Americans (NCA), the Muslim American Society (MAS) Freedom Foundation, the A.N.S.W.E.R Coalition, the Haiti Support Network, the Alliance for a Just and Lasting Peace in the Philippines, and the National Lawyers Guild, in order to help build a unified demonstration against the war.

In his speech last night, President Bush made it clear once again that he intends to continue the criminal war and occupation of Iraq, in defiance of international law and the will of the people.

It should be clear to everyone by now that corporate-owned politicians will not and cannot stop the war. Only a massive peoples' resistance can stop the war.

Bush's speech was a rerun of Nixon's Novemeber 1969 "Vietnamization" speech. Delivered at a time when antiwar sentiment was sweeping the nation, Nixon's speech desplayed asolute contempt for the will of the people, for international law, and for the facts on the ground. He claimed that the U.S. was making great progress in training South Vietnam's security forces, and that attacks by the resistance were decreasing.

None of this was true then, and it isn't true now in Iraq.

Bush's speech could have been written by the same speechwriter. It made the same misrepresentations and laid out the same course--a course of continued violence, torture, and repression.

We must do everything within our power to build a united front to bring the troops home now. On September 24, tens of thousands of activists will take to the streets of Washington DC to demand "Troops Out Now!"

The Troops Out Now Coalition is working with local and national organiztions, as part of The September 24 National Coalition for the March on Washington, to build a massive united presence on September 24.

We will be organizing buses, vans, car caravans, and peace trains from all over the country to flood the streets of Washington.

Now is a critical time--military recruiting is down, Bush's approval ratings are plummeting, and opposition to the war is growing. It is up to us to make that opposition a potent force on the streets.

What we do now can make a difference, and we have a responsibility to turn up the heat.

The Troops Out Now Coalition Statement on September 24 raises the following critical points:

* The vital importance of building a united front against the war. Our emphasis needs to be on building a large, militant antiwar movement that is capable of stopping the war. TONC renews its appeal to the small but influential forces in the antiwar movement who refused to work together for the fall and beyond to reverse their positions and help unleash the full mass potential of the struggle to shut the war down.

* That building a united movement means including, not excluding, the struggles of oppressed people. Support for the Right of all Palestinian refugees and their descendants to return to their original homes and property in all of historic Palestine is not negotiable.

* That unity means much more than organizational unity. It means, more importantly, that the antiwar movement reaches out to and embraces the struggles of oppressed people here and internationally. It means solidarity with the struggle of communities of color, with LGBT communities, with immigrants, and with struggles against racism, sexism, and all forms of oppression. It means solidarity with the people of Iraq, Palestine, Haiti, the Philippines, and everywhere that people are struggling against U.S. colonial occupation.

* That the antiwar movement needs to look to new and more effective tactics to stop the war. Activists raised the slogan "Troops Home Now, or We'll Shut It Down!" and discussed the idea of declaring a moratorium against the war, including walkouts, civil disobedience, and other direct actions to bring the cities to a stop until the war is ended.

* That the struggle to end the war will be won by mobilizing a massive movement in the streets. Counting on elections and pro-war politicians to end the war is, at best, a misdirection of time, energy, and resources. Only the people will stop the war. To that end, it is important to immediately begin planning and mobilizing now for the September 24 March in Washington DC, the Millions More Movement events on the weekend of October 14-16, and the Moratorium Against the War.

We need your help to build a massive, united demonstration:

Organize transportation from your area.

Las ratas no hablan por teléfono móvil

AGRADECEMOS, SINCERAMENTE, AL DOCTOR MANUEL PORTOLÉS EL ARTÍCULO ADJUNTO QUE NOS HA REMITIDO: "Las ratas no hablan por teléfono móvil", publicado en Levante-EMV.

Estamos en tiempos duros con la insistente y tozuda afirmación, sin base alguna, de una de las mentiras, que, a fuerza de ser repetida por la industria y la propia Administración, más de uno empieza a creerse como un dogma universal: "La OMS concluyó en el 2000 que los móviles no son nocivos para la salud".

Ni la OMS dijo eso en el año 2000, ni estamos aún en pañales por lo que se refiere a la investigación científica en materia de Radiaciones ElectroMagnéticas, ni hay dudas hoy día sobre la nocividad de dichas fuentes de electropolución. Las discusiones se centran en su vinculación con el cáncer no en las más que probadas evidencias nocivas respecto de las embarazadas y su gestación, respecto de las personas con implantes, respecto de los niños y su mayor vulnerabilidad...

Soplos de aire nuevo provenientes del artículo adjunto nos recuerdan lo que pasa en el 2005; nos traen las últimas revisiones científicas: las de la semana pasada, las de este mismo mes de Junio de 2005 y nos alertan de los resultados conocidos de investigaciones aún no publicadas.

Gracias, querido Doctor.

'Lessons of Sept. 11' Again Take Center Stage

One year after the transfer of power in Iraq, President Bush found himself in a familiar, if unsettling, position last night, as he sought to reinvigorate public support for his policies in the face of almost daily suicide bombings and continued U.S. casualties that have called into question whether the administration has a workable strategy for success and exit there.

Terror Policies Draw Outrage at Home and Abroad

The George W. Bush administration's policies on indefinite detention and ”extraordinary rendition” are coming under heavy fire from a number of institutions and organizations, including the United Nations, Amnesty International, and members of the U.S. Congress itself.

Mr. Bush on Iraq

PRESIDENT BUSH sought last night to bolster slipping public support for the war in Iraq by connecting it, once again, to the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and to the war against terrorism. That connection is not spurious, even if Saddam Hussein was not a collaborator of al Qaeda: Clearly Iraq is now a prime battlefield for Islamic extremists, and success or failure there will do much to determine the outcome of the larger struggle against them. But Mr. Bush didn't explain how a war meant to remove a tyrant believed to wield weapons of mass destruction turned into a fight against Muslim militants, a transformation caused in part by his administration's many errors since Saddam Hussein's defeat more than two years ago. The president also didn't speak candidly enough about the primary mission the United States now has in Iraq, which is not "hunting down the terrorists" but constructing a stable government in spite of Iraq's sectarian divisions and violent resistance from the former ruling elite. It's harder to explain why Americans should die in such a complex and ambitious enterprise than in a fight with international terrorists, but that is the case Mr. Bush most needs to make.

Crude Courage

Oil prices hit a record $60 a barrel this week, inducing that familiar feeling that the world is a prisoner of energy gods beyond its control. Some analysts worry that high prices will eventually bring on a global recession that will shrink demand for a while -- until the next spike begins.

WASHINGTON, June 28 - President Bush set out Tuesday night to reshape perceptions of what is happening in Iraq after months in which the persistent insurgency has undermined public support for the war, provoked signs of a split in his own party and prompted inconsistent statements from administration officials about how soon things might improve.

President Bush's Speech About Iraq

President Bush told the nation last night that the war in Iraq was difficult but winnable. Only the first is clearly true. Despite buoyant cheerleading by administration officials, the military situation is at best unimproved. The Iraqi Army, despite Mr. Bush's optimistic descriptions, shows no signs of being able to control the country without American help for years to come. There are not enough American soldiers to carry out the job they have been sent to do, yet the strain of maintaining even this inadequate force is taking a terrible toll on the ability of the United States to defend its security on other fronts around the world.

Analysis: Subdued Bush's appeal

There were no jokes, no introduction and no backslapping. What we got was a podium, a blue background and, for 35 minutes, a president reading in a subdued tone from a very carefully prepared script.

NEW ZEALAND: Prime Kiwi Habitat to Be Destroyed by Coal Mine

NEW ZEALAND: Prime Kiwi Habitat to Be Destroyed by Coal Mine

New Zealand Government Fails to Protect Endangered National Bird
http://forests.org/action/alert.asp?id=kiwi

New Zealand's (Aotearoa) national bird is the kiwi and the people call themselves kiwis – yet New Zealand’s state-owned coal mining company plans to destroy prime habitat of the endangered great spotted kiwi with a new open pit coal mine. Solid Energy Coals claims it can kill kiwi under the Coal Mines Act despite the species being "absolutely protected" under the Wildlife Act. As well as being prime habitat for the great spotted kiwi, the proposed coal field is home to a rare land snail, red tussock grasslands, wetlands, and beech forest derived from the ancient supercontinent Gondwana. Two open pit mines, disposal areas and roads and offices will scar some 250 hectares of this distinctive landscape, while fouling natural waterways.

Strangely, the New Zealand government is both funding kiwi restoration projects throughout the country to save them from extinction, while simultaneously promoting coal mining which is destroying prime kiwi habitat. A broad coalition of environmental groups is fighting the mine.

Earlier this year local NGOs and a Maori tribe took Solid Energy to court in order to stop the mine. Solid Energy won but is now suing two of the NGOs for costs totaling $US270,000.

Please take the time to demand that Nippon Steel and Mitsubishi Chemical - two prime customers for the high quality coal - not buy coal derived from the habitat of New Zealand's endangered national bird.

Volksbegehren gegen Mobilfunk in Bayern mit Signalwirkung für Deutschland

Pressemitteilung von: Baubiologie Regional

Bürgerinitiativen sind voll bei der Sache

Ein Erfolg des Bürgerbegehrens gegen den ungebremsten Ausbau des Mobilfunks wäre für alle Beteiligten ein wichtiges Signal zur Aufbruchstimmung und für die Politiker ein Warnschuss, den Volkeswillen nicht zu unterschätzen.

Entsprechend legen sich alle Bürgerinitiativen in Bayern ins Zeug. Mit Informationsmaterial von der Aktionszentrale in Passau versorgt, werden Bündnisse geschmiedet, Kommunalpolitiker aktiviert, Ärzte und Apotheker eingebunden und möglichst viele Bürger direkt angesprochen. Dazu kommt eine Flut von Handzetteln und Plakaten an Litfassäulen und Strassenlaternen. In den Innenstädten werden Demos abgehalten und Infostände besetzt. Am 5. Juli gibt es in fast allen Kommunen Pressetermine mit prominenten Erstunterzeichnern. All dieser Aufwand ist notwendig, um 10 % von Bayerns Wählern in die Rathäuser zu lotsen und um Unterstützung zu bitten.

Das Volksbegehren verfolgt zwei wesentliche Ziele:

· Einführung eines öffentlichen Genehmigungsverfahrens mit Nachbarschaftsbeteiligung auch für Sendeanlagen unter 10 Metern

· ausdrückliche gesetzliche Festschreibung der Gesundheitsvorsorge im Landesentwicklungsprogramm

Damit soll das willkürliche Vorgehen der Betreiber bei der Standortplanung und der Antennenwildwuchs verhindert werden. Es ist nur eine Frage der Zeit, bis UMTS-Sendeantennen in alle Wohngebiete drängen. Diese neue Technik benötigt Basisstationen im Umkreis von 500 Metern. Damit wird in den meisten Fällen der Standort ausserhalb der Wohngegenden nicht mehr ausreichen.

Alle Bürgerinitiativen und sonstigen Aktionsgruppen werden gebeten, ihre geplanten Massnahmen im Mobilfunkforum von Baubiologie Regional einzutragen. Die Aktionen der BI’s von Bayreuth, Lichtenfels, Geretsried und Umgebung sind bereits aufgelistet. Der Link zum Forum: http://www.baubiologie-regional.de/forum3/read.php?f=4&i=164&t=164

Mast group warns phone giant

by Michelle Hunt

Jun 29, 2005, 08:08

Protesters have declared war on a mobile phone giant after city councillors backed their campaign against erecting a towering mast near their Lichfield homes.

Members of Stowe Concerned Residents Against Masts (SCRAM) have vowed to fight until the bitter end to see T Mobile's plans for a 15-metre telecommunications pole in Eastern Avenue scrapped.

The group is one step closer to winning its battle after Lichfield City Council supported its concerns.

Members fear the mast could spark health problems among residents and pupils attending Charnwood County Primary School, Purcell Avenue, and would be an eyesore.

Campaigners have launched a high profile protest in a bid to have the controversial scheme thrown out.

They have taken to the streets to drum up support for their campaign and have now mounted a petition.

The group has also visited 170 houses surrounding the site to encourage people to send letters of objection to Lichfield District Council.

The authority will make a final decision on the scheme next month.

SCRAM Chairman David Brain said he was delighted the group had won the battle and said members would fight until it had also won the war.

"We are very pleased the council has supported our campaign and would have been very shocked if there had been any other decision.

"The site is clearly inappropriate as it is too close to houses and the school. We are determined to fight these plans and will protest until the end."

Mr Brain added: "I would urge people to write to the council highlighting their concerns over this application. We need to leave no doubt of the strength of feeling in the community - we do not want this mast."

Mast fight may go Euro

Yorkshire Post

Joanne Finley

A DOCTOR from Yorkshire who says a mobile telephone mast near her home threatens her and her children's health is considering whether to take her case to the European courts.

Earlier this week Law Lords refused permission for Christine Nunn to appeal to the House of Lords against an Appeal Court ruling in February .

For two years Dr Nunn has been trying to have removed a T-Mobile UK phone mast 120 metres from her home in the village of Bardsey, near Leeds.

Mother-of-three Dr Nunn, believes the T-Mobile mast near The Old Vicarage could trigger the migraines she and her family suffer and will have an adverse affect on property values.

She claims the refusal of a planning inspector to consider her case – because Leeds City Council was a day late in lodging its objections to the mast and planning permission was therefore deemed to have been given by default – has robbed her of her right to a fair hearing.

Last night she said she was considering whether to take the case to Europe and pledged to continue her fight to challenge the legislation.

PHONE MAST APPEAL

Western Daily Express

09:41 - 29 June 2005

All new phone masts should need full planning permission to allow local residents to object to them, West MP Geoffrey Clifton-Brown, right, insisted yesterday. The Cotswold Conservative told a special Commons debate the Government was not listening to people's concerns over the health and environment implications of telecoms masts.

Masts less than 40ft tall do not need full planning permission.

MORATORIUM ON MASTS LIFTED

Fife Today

AN OUTRIGHT ban on mobile 'phone masts being sited on council land has been lifted.

But Fife authority's decision has come too late for anti-mast campaigners in north Glenrothes.

They were angered when a 15-metre-high monopole was erected in Formonthills Road last year.

Irate residents living in the mast's shadow fought a long-running battle with mobile company O2 over the device's position - even trying to block engineers from replacing the mast after it had been taken away for repairs in May.

However, despite the council's vow to remove its moratorium, it appears the Formonthills "eyesore" - as many locals have dubbed it - is here to stay.

Ron Page, chairman of the North Glenrothes Community Council, said he hoped the authority's U-turn would spare other communities the grief north Glenrothes folk had gone through.

"We did ask O2 if they could review the situation and perhaps even put the mast across the road," he told The Gazette.

"They said it had been too expensive to move it and in any case, Fife Council had agreed to where it was sited.

"Hopefully, in the future, the options will increase."

Mr Page added: "These masts do not have to be exactly adjacent to anybody's house.

"It's clear that all the mobile companies and Fife Council's planning department have had their fingers burned by what's happened up at Formonthills Road.

"It's a beacon to future development."

Councillor John Cameron, spokesman for development and planning, admitted there had to be a balance between economic benefits to Fife and the need of the industry to put equipment in appropriate locations.

"We appreciate that many communities across Fife have concerns about the location of telecoms equipment, but with the moratorium lifted, we may now be able to avoid masts being located by roadsides or near houses and put these on more suitable sites at council property instead," he commented.

"If a council site is the best location for equipment to be placed, then officers and councillors will work with the current guidance and policies to make that determination."

The council will receive money from operators whose masts were located on council premises.

Indeed, before the moratorium came into place in 1999, the council received £35,504 in fees each year.

But Councillor Cameron added that this should not be a "determining factor" in any policy or decision made.

A detailed policy will now be developed to help councillors deal with future mast applications concerning council property.

It will aim to avoid issues of equipment being put on schools or other buildings involving residents, members of the public or council staff.

Christine May MSP has welcomed the news of the change of heart by Fife Council.

She said: "This decision has been badly needed, especially in Glenrothes, where the installation of masts has been very contentious.

"In many instances, council-owned land might have been a better location for masts, but, because of the ban these could not be considered.

"Now, all possible sites will be up for assessment, and it may be possible to find locations which are further from homes and less obtrusive but still effective."

Mobile phone mast go-ahead on appeal

Droitwich Star Advertiser

PLANNING bosses have given the green light to a controversial mobile phone mast despite strong opposition in Droitwich Spa.

An application by Hutchison 3G for permission to erect the mast on the Yew Tree Hill water tower had originally been refused by Wychavon District Council because of its visual impact.

But now planners have said the scheme can go ahead after the company appealed to the Planning Inspectorate, based in Bristol.

Inspectors decided the site satisfies the Government guidelines, and although they were aware of a number of concerns regarding the health effects of the masts, it is the view of the Government that the planning system is not the place for determining health safeguards.

Senior planning officer for Wychavon District Council, Robert Peel said: "Planning officers originally recommended permission be granted because it complied with planning laws but councillors on the planning committee chose to refuse the application, as is their right."

Droitwich Spa Town Council, which is not the planning authority but makes recommendations to the district council, has a policy of recommending refusal of 3G phone masts until more is known about health implications.

The tower is already used as a site for several companies' mobile phone masts but this scheme will be its first 3G mast.

Mayor Richard Morris said: "I feel our planning laws are very outdated if they do not allow us to consider the health and wellbeing of the people in our town as well as the volume of mobile communications on one site.

"I urge people to write to the Deputy Prime Minister and ask for a significant change in the planning laws so they more effectively consider people and not big business."

A spokesman for Hutchison 3G said all their base stations had been shown to work well within the radiation protection guidelines and overall evidence suggested they were unlikely to pose a risk to health.

School masts legal warning

Jun 29 2005

By Neil Elkes, Evening Mail

BIRMINGHAM schools which lease their rooftops for mobile phone masts could face future legal action from sick pupils, it was claimed today.

The city's leading mast activist has slammed the city council for "washing its hands" of the problem by giving school governors the final say on whether masts should be put on their buildings.

Eileen O'Connor, spokeswoman for Seriously Concerned Residents Against Masts, said council chiefs were also throwing temptation at governors who would be allowed to keep at least £5,000-ayear per mast.

Mrs O'Connor said: "This is a cop-out. The councillors are putting themselves in the clear by passing responsibility to the schools.

"When masts are proved unsafe, as I have no doubt they will be, it is the school governors who could face the consequences," she added.

An independent survey of residents found that two-thirds were opposed to masts on or near schools but threequarters said they were an acceptable development to allow the use of phones.

Eileen said: "What we need are limits on all masts." Chairman of a council inquiry into masts, Coun Michael Wilkes, said some schools may prefer to have masts on their own site rather than scattered on private sites around the school.

He argued that by lifting a ban on masts on council-owned buildings, the city was taking control of the issue.

Coun Wilkes said that if the ban continued an equivalent or possibly greater number of masts would be displaced to private land under less stringent conditions.

He said: "We will ensure that governors are provided with an impartial package of information so they can make an informed choice."

Mast looks set to get the green light

Jun 29 2005

Ayrshire Post

SOUTH Ayrshire Council’s planning committee were expected to approve plans for a Vodafone communications mast in Ayr’s Doonholm Road at a meeting on Tuesday.

The 18 metre high mast satisfies guidelines guarding the public from safety issues such as radiation but attracted a handful of objections from local residents.

Concerns were also raised over the proposed mast’s close proximity to The Mote monument.

One resident said: “Purely commercial interests are involved in the siting of this mast not only from the point of view of Vodafone but also presumably from the point of view of the owner of the land who will receive around £8,000 to £10,000 per annum for allowing Vodafone to have a mast on this site.”

Fears were also raised over the effect of a mast on the heavily populated residential area which includes a primary school.

However, the council were expected to approve the plans in accordance with national guidance over safety issues.

Anger over surprise appearance of mast

Aberystwyth Today

A MOBILE phone company which unlawfully put up a mast in Aberystwyth last week has spoken of its plans to put another on top of Bronglais hospital. The movements of Hutchison 3G came to light last week after Llanbadarn councillor Paul James started to investigate concerns of residents. The company erected a 15-metre mast in the yard of Clynderwen and Cardiganshire Farmers store at Parcy-Llyn overnight on Tuesday without planning permission. Cllr James described the company as “midnight commandos,” and their actions as “very cloak and dagger” and officials in Ceredigion County Council’s Planning Department were baffled by the sudden appearance. Hutchison 3G revealed late on Wednesday that they had not applied for planning permission but intended to. A spokesperson for the company also spoke of their plans to erect two other masts in the town, one on the roof of Bronglais Hospital and another on the town’s police station. Verity Stanford of Hutchison 3G said: “The current mast site is a temporary one, but we are hoping to install two permanent masts in the town in the coming months. “The company has acted in a reasonable fashion in order to secure a temporary site in the area, we are submitting a planning application which will allow local residents to put their views on our proposal to the local planning authority.” “A four-metre mast at Bronglais hospital we have planning for and there are plans for another at the police station, which we are in discussions for. “We will be applying for retrospective plan-ning permission on the temporary site. “It is important that we have a mast in the town as our customers currently have a limited service and cannot make data calls in Aberystwyth.” Cllr James responded: “Their actions are not responsible, in fact they are very irresponsible. “There is a lot of skullduggery going on. They are like midnight commandos, coming under the cover of darkness and erecting this mast.” Senior Planning Officer for Ceredigion County Council said of the temporary mast: “This was only brought to our attention on Wednesday. “This is classed as an unauthorised development and we do have powers to remove the mast. An enforcement officer from the council will visit the site and report back to us before a decision is made.” One nearby resident, Ifor Jones, who lives in Maes Mawr spoke of his disgust this week. “They can’t be able to get away with this, I am utterly disgusted. “It is so close to our houses and to Penweddig school, people are just dumb-founded. “It is an eye-sore and then there are the reported health issues. What I want to know is what the affects are in ten years time from living so close to a mast. “I noticed the mast on Wednesday morning and phoned Cllr Paul James immediately, he was down here in seconds.” Cllr James added: “My phone has been ring-ing itself off the hook from angry residents since this mast was put up. “The way it has been done it’s very underhanded. “I have spoken to the Farmers’ store and they seemed to be under the impression that Hutchison 3G had planning permission for this. “The people of Maes Mawr have had to put up with a lot, from boy racers to this, it has been hell for them. “I hope the mast is brought down so that we have a level playing field. Hutchison seem to have the upper hand at the moment.” Chief Executive of County Stores Keith Gosney said: “The situation with us is simple. “We were approached by Hutchison 3G and we said it was fine to put up a mast on our land, so long as they satisfied the local authority’s planning procedures. “There seems to be a misconception on the part of Hutchison in relation to planning rules in Ceredigion. “I can assure people that the mast will remain inactive until a planning decision has been reached.” Spokesman for Bronglais hospital Brian Thomas said: “I can confirm that permission has been granted to erect a telephone mast on the hospital roof. “The frequency Hutchison 3G will run off is outside that of medical equipment and will not cause any disruption.”

Church phone mast plans

Sunderland Today

PLANS to put a 50ft-high mast next to one of Sunderland's most stunning landmarks have been unveiled by mobile phone bosses.

T-Mobile claim there are telephone reception problems in Sunderland city centre, so wants to build a 15-metre high communications mast next to Sunderland Minster.

And it seems church leaders are happy with the plan, which will improve services for phone users with 3G technology – mobiles that allow video conferencing between callers.

Canon Stephen Taylor today calmed fears about the mast plans.
He said: "The mast is not something that is going to block anybody's view of the minster. As I understand, it will look like and function as a flagpole."

If planning permission is approved, the mast would stand next to other flagpoles close to the steps into the minster's grounds and have three antennas inside it.

Mr Taylor said: "I, personally, don't have any problem about the mast and if we all want to use mobile telephone technology then there has to be masts."

T-Mobile was offering the diocese rent for siting the mast, but no sum had been agreed and the money will be ploughed back into church work, said Mr Taylor.

He added he was aware of health issues surrounding masts but said these were still to be proven beyond any doubt.

The minster had followed Church of England guidelines on the application and the Sunderland diocese's advisory committee is still considering T-mobile's bid.

Church neighbour and minster worker Robert Jones, of the Mowbray Alms Houses, said: "I am objecting because it is too close to my front door. I know people say there's no health risks but nobody really knows for sure."

The minster is in councillor Jim Hollern's ward, who said: "I am okay with the plan, it will be partly hidden by trees, health fears are not proven and it is providing a service by giving better receptions."

Omega health fears are proven. See further under: http://www.buergerwelle.de/body_science.html

T-Mobile has two other city centre masts in Sunderland with one in Hendon and one next to the Queen Alexandra Bridge.

Errichtung einer Funksende- und Empfangsanlage (Basisstation) durch die Vodafone D2 GmbH auf ihrem Grundstück in Dudenhofen, Landauer Straße 14-16


Sehr geehrte Herren Lehr,

im Namen der über 300 Unterzeichner der Unterschriftenaktion gegen die Errichtung einer „UMTS-Antenne“, fordern wir sie als Eigentümer des Grundstücks in der Landauer Straße 14-16 auf, wegen der nicht zu unterschätzenden Risiken und den möglichen gesundheitlichen Beeinträchtigungen für die Anwohner, auf die Installation der „Mobilfunkanlage“ auf ihrem Grundstück zu verzichten.

Da nach derzeitigem Kenntnisstand nach wie vor die Verträglichkeit der elektromagnetischen Felder, die durch die Mobilfunkanlagen hervorgerufen werden nicht einwandfrei geklärt sind, halten wir den Standort in der Landauer Straße 14-16, der mitten in einem Wohngebiet und in unmittelbarer Nähe der Seniorenwohnanlage St. Sebastian u. dem Kindergarten St. Kunigunde liegt, für nicht akzeptabel.

Wir werden bei unseren Bedenken unterstützt durch Umweltexperten, Baubiologen und Ärzte, die schon lange vor den Risiken warnen.

Auch die 1200 Ärzte, die den „Freiburger Appell“ vom Oktober 2002 unterzeichneten, haben beanstandet, dass die Mobilfunktechnik ohne Gesundheitsverträglichkeitsprüfung flächendeckend eingeführt wurde. Die Beweise für die Risiken dieser Technik und für eine wachsende Zahl von Betroffenen nehmen in erdrückendem Maße zu (siehe Leukämiefälle in Spanien 2002, schwedische Studie von 2002 über Hirntumore, aktuelle REFLEX-Studie zu Zellschäden, TNO-Studie über kognitive Effekte - insbesondere durch UMTS-Frequenzen). In einschlägigen Studien zeigte sich eine bisher nicht bekannte beunruhigende Verkürzung der so genannten Latenzzeit bis zum Auftreten eines Tumors nach Expositionsbeginn.

Durch die Bestrahlung mit gepulsten Mikrowellen, wie sie im Mobilfunk verwendet werden, können Gefahren für die Gesundheit der betroffenen Anwohner im Umkreis von mehreren hundert Metern entstehen. Darauf wird in zahlreichen Untersuchungen von Ärzten und Wissenschaftlern immer wieder hingewiesen. Auch die Deutsche Akademie für Kinderheilkunde und Jugendmedizin sprach sich im Jahr 2000 gegen die Installation von Mobilfunkanlagen in der Nachbarschaft von Kindergärten, Krankenhäusern und Seniorenwohnanlagen aus.

Wir bitten sie deshalb ihre Entscheidung zu überdenken und rückgängig zu machen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Treason by the highest court of the District of Columbia

06/30/05

Without the right to private property ownership, and the control of it without government interference, there is no liberty or freedom. This is, of course, referring to the opinion by the justices in Kelo v. City of New London (Connecticut). Liberty -- freedom -- means to not be under government control. In understanding this travesty against justice and America, we must understand that the United States Supreme Court is not the one supreme Court created by the Constitution in Article III. It is a municipal court created solely for the District of Columbia ...

Rove's speech in the context of McCarthyism

06/29/05

In the 1950s, the right wing attacked liberals for being Communists. In 2005, Karl Rove has attacked liberals for being therapists. Thus is born a kinder and gentler form of McCarthyism. ... The McCarthyites' real enemies were not Communists but the New Deal liberals who had dominated American politics for 20 years. The McCarthy crowd was willing to divide the nation at a time of grave international peril if that's what it took to beat the liberals. Rove's instantly famous speech last week to the New York state Conservative Party should be read in light of this history and not be written off as a cheap, one-time partisan attack. On the contrary, the address by Rove, President Bush's most important adviser, provides the outlines of a sophisticated strategy aimed at making liberals and Democrats all look soft on terrorism...

After carefully laying the groundwork over a period of years, a radical wing of the Republican party is now in the process of pulling off a bloodless coup. Their mission, which has been quietly in progress over the past five years, is to steal complete and permanent control of the United States government. ... A hostile takeover of the United States government is underway, and it's happening from inside the capitol. But you don't need to join the resistance that, no doubt, will soon be marching on Washington. No arms need to be taken up, and no blood needs to be shed.

Some might think that I am naive in this, but it is my belief that this may be the issue that unites liberals and conservatives -- Democrats and Republicans, greens and libertarians, and all the other political groups that vie for dominance. After all, everybody believes in the right, and millions experience the delight, of property ownership in America. Now, because of the desire to create and legislate from the bench as the courts are wont to do these days, nobody need only fear the WalMart-type corporations taking over their towns and cities.

Supremes play party game with Ten Commandments

06/29/05

There's a children's party game [sometimes called 'telephone'], in which one child is given a phrase or a story, who then whispers it to a second, in turn to a third and so on. The fun in the game is to see how wildly divergent the final phrase or story is from the original. Not so amusingly, that children's game is an apt metaphor for the U.S. Supreme Court's jurisprudence, particularly on religious expression cases such as those decided on Monday. In this instance, the beginning point is what the Constitution actually says about religion, which is: 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.' That's rather clear: Religious expression and practice should be neither compelled nor suppressed...

Uninformed expropriation

If you were told the government could take your real property and give it to another preferred, private person, would you be more or less prone to make improvements on your property? If you were a clear-thinking person with a basic knowledge of economics, you would reply, 'less prone.' Unfortunately, five U.S. Supreme Court justices -- David Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, John Paul Stevens and Anthony Kennedy -- failed that elementary question last week in Kelo v. City of New London. Many others have commented on their faulty legal reasoning. ... But clearly, the decision was bad economics. ... The American Founding Fathers also understood the importance of the protection of private property. So here we have five members of the court who get an 'F' both in economics and history...

A man's home is Uncle Sam's castle

Possession may be nine-tenths of the law, but not when the law wants your possessions. This past Thursday was a dark day for freedom in America, as the Supreme Court once again proved that its contempt for the Constitution is only matched by its willingness to court communism. In a ruling that struck a blow for the powerful at the expense of the little guy, the Court ruled that states had the right to use the principle of eminent domain to seize private property for commercial development. ... At issue was the case of Kelo vs. New London, involving hapless homeowners who have been forced to fight a city hall that wants to seize their land for the ostensibly noble purpose of 'public use.' And what, pray tell, would this public use be? Answer: to pave the way for different private entities -- in this case rich developers -- to build a hotel, health club and office buildings...

It’s about Osama

06/29/05

So let's try to get this straight. We invaded Iraq because Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, except he didn't, and because he was tied in to the attacks of September 11, except he wasn't. We're staying in Iraq, President Bush said Tuesday night, because terrorists with the same ideology as those behind 9-11 have congregated there since we arrived. Iraq is now the 'central front' in the war on terrorism, the president said. And just how did it become that? Whatever the ghastly defects of Hussein's Iraq, it was not a playground for terrorists. There was no terror in the old Iraq but Hussein's own, which was a nightmare for his own citizenry, but not a threat to ours. Now, Bush argued, Iraq is in danger of becoming something it never was -- the equivalent of Afghanistan under the Taliban. But it's Bush's war that transformed the country and created that threat...

In wars, even cultural ones, it is crucial to know the opposition -- their strategies, their theories, their deceptions. Mark R. Levin's 'Men in Black: How the Supreme Court is Destroying America,' a New York Times best-seller, is a right-wing debaters' manual that furnishes rhetoric to Tom DeLay, Bill Frist and their cohorts as they campaign to revamp the federal judiciary in their own image. ... But it is the chapter titles that set the table with raw meat: 'Radicals in Robes,' 'Socialism from the Bench,' 'Al Qaeda Gets a Lawyer,' 'Justices in the Bedroom,' etc. Levin's thesis: Good judges ... are originalists [who] 'look to the text of the Constitution and the intent of the framers when deciding a constitutional question.'

Is it a bad idea to retaliate against judges who make bad decisions? No, not at all. Professor Barnett would not punish a judge for 'the good faith exercise of his duty,' but that's meaningless. No judge is going to say something like 'I ruled this way not because that is what the Constitution says but because I like big government,' or, to take a very common case, 'I ruled this way not because that is what the Constitution says but because I personally am against the death penalty.' High court judges violate their oaths of office that way all the time, and they ought to be punished for it...

Big government business

06/30/05

Last week's Supreme Court ruling in Kelo v. New London should indeed be alarming to all homeowners and business owners, who have now learned that they'll own their property only as long as their local government thinks they should. But it should also serve to further demonstrate that the economic agenda of Big Business is the same as the agenda of the American Left: bigger government and central management of the economy. The media like to portray big business as lobbying to be free of government intrusion, with regulators and lawmakers acting to curb these free-market cowboys. In truth, Big Business wants the government to be bigger. Much of big business's work on K Street is to give the government more control over the economy. This ruling on eminent domain is just another win for the unholy alliance of Big Business and Big Government...

Bush's Iraq speech falls flat

06/30/05

While Republicans voiced strong support for the president, it was the growing unrest in their ranks, as well as the rapid loss of support in the public-opinion polls, that persuaded the White House that a major new public relations effort was necessary to save the policy. Even then, Republicans interviewed after the speech admitted that the administration had a serious problem, only allayed partially by Bush's solemn tone, of reconciling its official optimism with the day-to-day news of rising casualties among both U.S. troops and Iraqi citizens, after a brief hiatus following last January's elections. More than 1,700 U.S. soldiers have died in the Iraqi conflict, more than half of them since the formal return to Iraqi sovereignty one year ago, an occasion that Bush's speech Tuesday was intended to mark. As noted by the Post Wednesday, the number of car bombings in Iraq has risen from 18 in June 2004 to 135 last month...

Same as it ever was, but different

06/29/05

I have to profess a certain grudging admiration for the President and his administration. I used to think that he was just out-Clintoning Bill Clinton, but I've come to understand that his approach is significantly different. When Clinton stepped on his own crank, he followed up with a trench-warfare defensive strategy: Begin with a denial; wag the dog a bit (usually by bombing Iraq); slowly retreat to a 'mistakes were made' position; and, finally, hole up in the impenetrable keep of 'let's move on'ism and skulk there until everyone got tired enough of the whole thing to find another issue du jour. Bush emulates Sherman instead: He begins with a denial, too, but then he cuts loose from his supply lines and moves forward past whatever's in the way, burning as he goes. ... Instead of hunkering down and trying to blunt the assault, he moves ahead, fast, and never, ever ever admits that he's going in a different direction than he was five minutes ago...

With five swift strokes of their collectivist pens, the Supreme Court overturned nearly a millennium of tradition and common law with respect to private property ownership. In Kelo v. New London, the justices decided that not only may the government apply eminent domain in order to construct government roads and buildings, but they may now boot you out of your house if Wal-Mart or the local land developer wants your property. In so doing, they have granted special status to the feudal lords of the 21st century, namely major corporations, development companies and local government fiefdoms -- reverting our system of property ownership back to the dark ages...

Forderung nach totalem Haftungsausschluss vertreibt die Deutsche Funkturm GmbH

Ammersbek: Funkturm wird nicht gebaut

Hartnäckig: Forderung nach totalem Haftungsausschluss vertreibt den Investor.

Von Alexander Sulanke

Ammersbek - Der auf dem Fußballplatz am Schäferdresch geplante Mobilfunkmast (wir berichteten) wird doch nicht gebaut. Die Deutsche Funkturm, eine hundertprozentige Tochter der Deutschen Telekom, hat die Verhandlungen mit dem Ammersbeker Bürgermeister Axel Bärendorf (47) über den Standort auf gemeindeeigenem Grund und Boden für gescheitert erklärt. Offenbar rückt das Unternehmen nun sogar ganz von seinem ursprünglichen Plan ab, im Bereich Schäferdresch/Rehagen einen Antennenträger für Mobilfunksender zu bauen.

Die Anwohner in dem Ammersbeker Ortsteil können also aufatmen. Aus Angst vor ihrer Ansicht nach gesundheitsschädlichen Strahlen hatten sie gegen den Turmbau protestiert, seit das Thema im Spätsommer vergangenen Jahres spruchreif geworden war.

Doch wie ist in Ammersbek gelungen, was sich die Menschen auch in anderen Kommunen wünschen - oft vergebens? Offenbar hat die Taktik des Bürgermeisters mehr Früchte getragen als er sich jemals selbst erhofft hätte. Die Taktik nämlich, sich auf einen konstruktiven Dialog mit den Turmbauern einzulassen und dabei hartnäckig darauf bedacht zu sein, jeglichen Schaden und jegliches Risiko von der Gemeinde fernzuhalten.

Als Akquisiteure der Hamburger Firma Vivento Technicals GmbH im Auftrag der Deutschen Funkturm am 18. August vergangenen Jahres erstmals in Ammersbek vorstellig werden, ist Bärendorf nicht begeistert, bietet aber seine Hilfe bei der Suche eines Standortes an. Seine damalige Devise: Verhindern kann die Gemeinde einen Funkmast nicht. Also gestaltet sie mit. Denn Antennenträger gelten als privilegierte Bauvorhaben. Das heißt: Liegt eine Standortbescheinigung vor, ein Attest gewissermaßen, dass die Richtwerte der Bundesimmissionsschutzverordnung eingehalten werden, muss einem Bauantrag ohne Rücksicht auf die Befindlichkeiten in der betroffenen Gemeinde zugestimmt werden.

Mit knapper Mehrheit billigt die Gemeindevertretung Bärendorfs Vorschlag, den Fußballplatz als Standort anzubieten. Bei der Ausgestaltung eines Vertrags kann Ammersbek als Partner mitwirken. Dem Bürgermeister ist wichtig, dass die Gemeinde von niemandem haftbar gemacht werden kann. Deshalb fügt er in den Vertragsentwurf Paragraph 7a ein, der da lautet: "Der Pächter stellt den Verpächter von allen Ansprüchen Dritter, die sich aus dem Bau, dem Betrieb oder dem Rückbau sowie sonst aus der Nutzung der Pachtsache ergeben, frei."

Für die Deutsche Funkturm ist das zuviel. Sie streicht den generellen Haftungsausschluss. In den verklausulierten Vertragstext, der der Ahrensburger Zeitung auszugsweise vorliegt, lässt sie einfügen, dass die Deutsche Funkturm "lediglich im Rahmen und im Umfang ihres Versicherungsschutzes" hafte. Wie hoch der ist, will die Deutsche Funkturm auf Anfrage nicht beantworten. "Vertragsinhalte kommunizieren wir nicht öffentlich", sagt Sprecherin Corinna Kielwein (29).

Außerdem sieht die von der Deutschen Funkturm vorgeschlagene Haftungsklausel vor, dass Ammersbek im Falle eines Schadens vor Gericht ziehen müsste, um Ansprüche gegen den Turmbetreiber geltend zu machen. Nach Auskunft der Deutschen Funkturm sind das standardisierte Vertragsklauseln, auf die sich alle Vertragspartner einließen. Nicht so der Ammersbeker Bürgermeister. Bärendorf: "Ich will in kein Gerichtsverfahren hineingezogen werden, und ich will mich nicht mit Versicherungen herumschlagen müssen. So einfach ist das."

Theoretisch könnte die Deutsche Funkturm nun versuchen, für irgendein Privatgrundstück in der Nähe ihre Vertragsbedingungen durchzusetzen. Doch das Interesse scheint verflogen. Sprecherin Corinna Kielwein: "So, wie es aussieht, wird es keinen Funkturm geben."

zu 1 . gebrauchsfertige Muster-PM kurz vor dem Start (bitte lokalisieren!)

Am Dienstag beginnt die Eintragungszeit für das Mobilfunk-Volksbegehren

Initiatoren wollen öffentliche Genehmigungsverfahren mit Nachbarschaftsbeteiligung statt Nacht- und Nebelaktionen

xy: "Wer keinen Mobilfunksender vor seinem Schlafzimmer will, kann jetzt sein Mitspracherecht sichern!"

Am Dienstag (5.7.) beginnt die Eintragungszeit für das Volksbegehren "Gesundheitsvorsorge beim Mobilfunk". "Sendemasten sollen den Bürgern nicht mehr in Nacht- und Nebelaktionen vor die Schlafzimmer gestellt werden können", formuliert xy, der Dorfhausener Volksbegehrensprecher das Ziel. xy betont aber, dass sich "die Initiative nicht grundsätzlich gegen Mobilfunk richtet". "Durch öffentliche Genehmigungsverfahren mit Nachbarschaftsbeteiligung und kommunale Vorsorgeplanungen sollen vielmehr unproblematischere Standorte ausgewählt und die Strahlenbelastung deutlich reduziert werden. Die Mobilfunkbetreiber sollen ihre Sendemasten nicht länger hinstellen können, wo sie wollen", fordert xy.

Inzwischen wird das Volksbegehren von einem breiten Bündnis unterstützt. Neben der ödp und den Wähler Bayern sind auch der Bund Naturschutz und der Anbauverband Bioland mit im Boot, außerdem die Kreisverbände von Partei A und Partei B, die Intiative ... , landesweit 650 Ärzte und Apotheker, zahlreiche Bürgerinitiativen und sogar 116 bayerische Bürgermeister.

Das Volksbegehren ist aber nur erfolgreich, wenn sich vom 5. bis 18. Juli zehn Prozent der Wahlberechtigten in den Rathäusern eintragen. Sollte das Begehren diese Hürde überspringen, müssen künftig die Nachbarn vor der Installation von Sendemasten informiert und ihre Einwendungen gehört werden. Außerdem kann die Kommune in Vorsorgeplanungen Tabuzonen und unproblematische Standorte festlegen. xy: "Wir müssen jetzt handeln. Denn die vielen Hinweise auf die gesundheitsgefährdende Wirkung der Mobilfunkstrahlung (Erbgutschäden, Krebs ...) verdichten sich zu Beweisen. Trotzdem will die Mobilfunkindustrie auch im Landkreis ....... weitere Sendemasten ohne Bürgerbeteiligung aufstellen wie zum Beispiel in ................... . xy: "Wer sich sein Mitspracherecht dagegen sichern will, sollte vom 5. bis 18. Juli unterschreiben ".

Informationen können unter 0851/931171 angefordert oder im Internet unter http://www.gesundheitsvorsorge-mobilfunk.de abgerufen werden.



zu 3. PM "Krank oder verreist - wie kann man sich trotzdem eintragen?" (bitte lokalisieren, am besten kurz nach dem 5.7.)


Pressemitteilung vom ...

Beim Volksbegehren verreist oder erkrankt?

So können Sie sich trotzdem eintragen:
Bei dem vom 5. bis 18. Juli laufenden Volksbegehren "Gesundheitsvorsorge beim Mobilfunk" gibt es keine Briefwahl. Das Innenministerium läßt dies gemäß Landeswahlordnung nicht zu. Der Gang zum Rathaus ist demnach erforderlich. Trotzdem können Bürger, die innerhalb Bayerns verreist sind oder denen wegen Alter und Krankheit der Weg zum Rathaus ihres Wohnortes nicht zuzumuten ist, das Volksbegehren mit einem sogenannten Eintragungsschein unterstützen. Dieser kann bei der Gemeinde zwar nicht telefonisch, jedoch formlos per Post, Fax oder eMail unter Angabe des Grundes beantragt werden. Auch eine persönliche Abholung ist möglich.

Mit diesem Eintragungsschein kann man sich dann in jeder anderen Gemeinde Bayerns in die Unterschriftenliste eintragen, außerhalb Bayerns jedoch nicht. Kranke und gebrechliche Menschen können mit dem Eintragungsschein eine Hilfsperson beauftragen, die die Eintragung im Eintragungsraum stellvertretend und unter Vorlage eines Ausweises übernimmt.

Bürgerantrag zum Thema Mobilfunk gem. Art. 18 b Gemeindeordnung
