The Fault in Our Stars: Challenging the FCC’s Treatment of Commercial Satellites as Categorically Excluded from Review Under the National Environmental Policy Act Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law, Vol. 22, No. 4, 2020 December 5, 2020 Ramon J. Ryan Vanderbilt University Law School Abstract Mega satellite constellations, such as SpaceX’s Starlink, have the ability to connect humans across the globe in a way never before possible. However, the unprecedented deployment of tens of thousands of satellites into orbit around Earth creates the risk of altering the night sky for astronomers and the public for decades to come, as well as the risk of polluting the environment through the use of toxic satellite components. The Federal Communications Commission considers commercial-satellite projects categorically excluded from environmental review despite the National Environmental Policy Act’s requirement that federal agencies review projects for their environmental effects. A court would likely strike down the FCC’s categorical exclusion for its lack of specificity and find that the agency is required to review commercial-satellite projects since they are likely to have direct, indirect, and cumulative effects on the environment. To prevent a challenge in court, the FCC should use NASA’s satellite project review model and complete an environmental assessment of commonly used satellite components so that future commercial-satellite projects using those components do not need to go through an environmental assessment during their application process. This would create standards in the commercial-satellite industry that promote economic growth and stability while complying with Congress’s mandate to the federal government to proactively consider the environmental impacts of its actions.

American 5G opposition continues to increase for a variety of reasons in addition to health and environmental risks (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). Federal agencies and credible experts claim that it threatens aviation safety, jobs, national security, public safety, and weather forecasting accuracy (see 1, 2, 3). Recently, the Government Accountability Office acknowledged severe challenges with 5G deployment as well.
Since 2017, doctors and scientists have asked for 5G moratoriums on Earth and in space due to health and environmental risks (see 1, 2). Since 2018, there have been reports of people and animals experiencing symptoms and illnesses after 5G was installed (see 1, 2, 3, 4). In 2019, telecom executives gave U.S. congressional testimony that they had NO independent scientific evidence that 5G is safe. Research has determined that it’s not. Cities AND entire countries have taken action to ban, delay, halt, and limit 5G installation AS WELL AS issue moratoriums on deployment.
The majority of scientists worldwide oppose deployment. Of course, exposure risks ARE NOT exclusive to 5G. Last year, the World Health Organization warned that high levels of Electromagnetic Fields (aka “Electrosmog”) could cause health issues in a significant percentage of the population. Nevertheless, in August, Trump reintroduced his proposal to have a nationalized 5G plan and The Department of Defense (DoD) plans to own and operate it with Google. American legislators and organizations have voiced opposition to this scenario as well.
If you are opposed to 5G, sign the petition asking President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Harris to stop deployment.

activistpost--2020-12-29--2020: The Year the Tree of Liberty Was Torched

No doubt about it : 2020—a terrible , horrible , no good , very bad year for freedom—was the culmination of a terrible , horrible , no good , very bad decade for freedom .
Government corruption , tyranny , and abuse coupled with a Big Brother-knows-best mindset and the COVID-19 pandemic propelled us at warp speed towards a full-blown police state in which nationwide lockdowns , egregious surveillance , roadside strip searches , police shootings of unarmed citizens , censorship , retaliatory arrests , the criminalization of lawful activities , warmongering , indefinite detentions , SWAT team raids , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ prisons , and pay-to-play politicians were accepted as the norm .
Here ’ s just a small sampling of the laundry list of abuses—cruel , brutal , immoral , unconstitutional and unacceptable—that have been heaped upon us by the government over the past two decades and in the past year , in particular .
The government failed to protect our lives , liberty and happiness .
The predators of the police state wreaked havoc on our freedoms , our communities , and our lives .
The government didn ’ t listen to the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Constitution , and treated the citizenry as a source of funding and little else .
Police officers shot unarmed citizens and their household pets .
Government agents—including local police—were armed to the teeth and encouraged to act like soldiers on a battlefield .
Bloated government agencies were allowed to fleece taxpayers .
Government technicians spied on our emails and phone calls .
And government contractors made a killing by waging endless wars abroad .
The American President became more imperial .
Although the Constitution invests the President with very specific , limited powers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( Trump , Obama , Bush , Clinton , etc . )
claimed the power to completely and almost unilaterally alter the landscape of this country for good or for ill .
The powers that have been amassed by each successive president through the negligence of Congress and the courts—powers which add up to a toolbox of terror for an imperial ruler—empower whoever occupies the Oval Office to act as a dictator , above the law and beyond any real accountability .
The presidency itself has become an imperial one with permanent powers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ themselves , 911 calls turned deadly , and traffic stops took a turn for the worse .
Lacking in transparency and accountability , protected by the courts and legislators , and rife with misconduct , America ’ s police forces continued to be a menace to the citizenry and the rule of law .
Despite concerns about the government ’ s steady transformation of local police into a standing military army , local police agencies acquired even more weaponry , training and equipment suited for the battlefield .
Police officers were also given @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a variety of reasons and subject them to forced cavity searches , forced colonoscopies , forced blood draws , forced breath-alcohol tests , forced DNA extractions , forced eye scans , forced inclusion in biometric databases .
The courts failed to uphold justice .
With every ruling handed down , it becomes more apparent that we live in an age of hollow justice , with government courts more concerned with protecting government agents than upholding the rights of “ we the people.
” This is true at all levels of the judiciary , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the land , the U.S. Supreme Court , which is seemingly more concerned with establishing order and protecting government agents than with upholding the rights enshrined in the Constitution .
A review of critical court rulings over the past two decades , including some ominous ones by the U.S. Supreme Court , reveals a startling and steady trend towards pro-police state rulings by an institution concerned more with establishing order and protecting the ruling class and government agents than with upholding the rights enshrined in the Constitution .

America became a red flag nation .
Red flag laws , specifically , and pre-crime laws generally push us that much closer towards a suspect society where everyone is potentially guilty of some crime or another and must be preemptively rendered harmless .
Where many Americans go wrong is in naively assuming that you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ harmful in order to be flagged and targeted for some form of intervention or detention .
In fact , all you need to do these days to end up on a government watch list or be subjected to heightened scrutiny is use certain trigger words ( like cloud , pork and pirates ) , surf the internet , communicate using a cell phone , limp or stutter , drive a car , stay at a hotel , attend a political rally , express yourself on social media , appear mentally ill , serve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ law enforcement official , call in sick to work , purchase materials at a hardware store , take flying or boating lessons , appear suspicious , appear confused or nervous , fidget or whistle or smell bad , be seen in public waving a toy gun or anything remotely resembling a gun ( such as a water nozzle or a remote control or a walking cane ) , stare at a police officer , question government authority , appear to be pro-gun or pro-freedom , or generally live in the United States .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ such a government watch list—whether it ’ s a terrorist watch list , a mental health watch list , a dissident watch list , or a red flag gun watch list—there ’ s no clear-cut way to get off , whether or not you should actually be on there .
The cost of policing the globe drove the nation deeper into debt .
America ’ s war spending has already bankrupted the nation to the tune of more than $ 20 trillion dollars .
Policing the globe and waging endless wars abroad hasn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the world—any safer , but it has made the military industrial complex rich at taxpayer expense .
The U.S. military reportedly has more than 1.3 million men and women on active duty , with more than 200,000 of them stationed overseas in nearly every country in the world .
Yet America ’ s military forces aren ’ t being deployed abroad to protect our freedoms here at home .
Rather , they ’ re being used to guard oil fields , build foreign infrastructure and protect the financial interests of the corporate elite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ military spends about $ 81 billion a year just to protect oil supplies around the world .
This is how a military empire occupies the globe .
Meanwhile , America ’ s infrastructure is falling apart .
Free speech was dealt one knock-out punch after another .
Protest laws , free speech zones , bubble zones , trespass zones , anti-bullying legislation , zero tolerance policies , hate crime laws , shadow banning on the Internet , and a host of other legalistic maladies dreamed up by politicians and prosecutors ( and championed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with which they might disagree ) conspired to corrode our core freedoms , purportedly for our own good .
On paper—at least according to the U.S. Constitution—we are technically free to speak .
In reality , however , we are only as free to speak as a government official—or corporate entities such as Facebook , Google or YouTube—may allow .
The reasons for such censorship varied widely from political correctness , so-called safety concerns and bullying to national security and hate crimes but the end result remained the same : the complete eradication @ @ @ @ @ @ @ took over .
The American system of representative government has been overthrown by the Deep State—a.k.a .
the police state a.k.a .
the military/corporate industrial complex—a profit-driven , militaristic corporate state bent on total control and global domination through the imposition of martial law here at home and by fomenting wars abroad .
The “ government of the people , by the people , for the people ” has perished .
In its place is a shadow government , a corporatized , militarized , entrenched bureaucracy that is fully operational and staffed by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , running the country and calling the shots in Washington DC , no matter who sits in the White House .
Mind you , by “ government , ” I ’ m not referring to the highly partisan , two-party bureaucracy of the Republicans and Democrats .
Rather , I ’ m referring to “ government ” with a capital “ G , ” the entrenched Deep State that is unaffected by elections , unaltered by populist movements , and has set itself beyond the reach of the law .
This is the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no respect for the freedom of its citizenry .
This shadow government , which “ operates according to its own compass heading regardless of who is formally in power , ” makes a mockery of elections and the entire concept of a representative government .
The takeaway : Everything the founders of this country feared has come to dominate in modern America .
“ We the people ” have been saddled with a government that is no longer friendly to freedom and is working overtime to trample the Constitution underfoot and render the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government ’ s power grabs , corruption and abusive tactics .
So how do you balance the scales of justice at a time when Americans are being tasered , tear-gassed , pepper-sprayed , hit with batons , shot with rubber bullets and real bullets , blasted with sound cannons , detained in cages and kennels , sicced by police dogs , arrested and jailed for challenging the government ’ s excesses , abuses and power-grabs , and then locked down and stripped of any semblance of personal freedom ?
No matter who sits @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t fix a system that is broken beyond repair .
For that matter , protests and populist movements also haven ’ t done much to push back against an authoritarian regime that is deaf to our cries , dumb to our troubles , blind to our needs , and accountable to no one .
So how do you not only push back against the government ’ s bureaucracy , corruption and cruelty but also launch a counterrevolution aimed at reclaiming control over the government using nonviolent means ?
You start by changing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nonviolent ) guerilla tactics .
Take your cue from the Tenth Amendment and nullify everything the government does that flies in the face of the principles on which this nation was founded .
If there is any means left to us for thwarting the government in its relentless march towards outright dictatorship , it may rest with the power of juries and local governments to invalidate governmental laws , tactics and policies that are illegitimate , egregious or blatantly unconstitutional .
In an age in which government officials accused of wrongdoing—police officers , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ leniency , while the average citizen is prosecuted to the full extent of the law , nullification is a powerful reminder that , as the Constitution tells us , “ we the people ” are the government .
For too long we ’ ve allowed our so-called “ representatives ” to call the shots .
Now it ’ s time to restore the citizenry to their rightful place in the republic : as the masters , not the servants .
Nullification is one way of doing so .
America was meant to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which is a far cry from the colossal federal bureaucracy we have today .
Yet if our freedoms are to be restored , understanding what is transpiring practically in your own backyard—in one ’ s home , neighborhood , school district , town council—and taking action at that local level must be the starting point .
Responding to unmet local needs and reacting to injustices is what grassroots activism is all about .
Attend local city council meetings , speak up at town hall meetings , organize protests and letter-writing campaigns , employ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disobedience , which Martin Luther King Jr. used to great effect through the use of sit-ins , boycotts and marches .
The power to change things for the better rests with us , not the politicians .
As long as we continue to allow callousness , cruelty , meanness , immorality , ignorance , hatred , intolerance , racism , militarism , materialism , meanness and injustice—magnified by an echo chamber of nasty tweets and government-sanctioned brutality—to trump justice , fairness and equality , there can be no hope of prevailing against the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nation if only Americans would work together to harness the power of their discontent and push back against the government ’ s overreach , excesses and abuse .
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America : The War on the American People , the police state is marching forward , more powerful than ever .

“The people are unaware. They’re not educated to realize that they have power. The system is so geared that everyone believes the government will fix everything. We are the government.”—John Lennon
No doubt about it: 2020—a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year for freedom—was the culmination of a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad decade for freedom.
Government corruption, tyranny, and abuse coupled with a Big Brother-knows-best mindset and the COVID-19 pandemic propelled us at warp speed towards a full-blown police state in which nationwide lockdowns, egregious surveillance, roadside strip searches, police shootings of unarmed citizens, censorship, retaliatory arrests, the criminalization of lawful activities, warmongering, indefinite detentions, SWAT team raids, asset forfeiture, police brutality, profit-driven prisons, and pay-to-play politicians were accepted as the norm.
Here’s just a small sampling of the laundry list of abuses—cruel, brutal, immoral, unconstitutional and unacceptable—that have been heaped upon us by the government over the past two decades and in the past year, in particular.
The government failed to protect our lives, liberty and happiness. The predators of the police state wreaked havoc on our freedoms, our communities, and our lives. The government didn’t listen to the citizenry, refused to abide by the Constitution, and treated the citizenry as a source of funding and little else. Police officers shot unarmed citizens and their household pets. Government agents—including local police—were armed to the teeth and encouraged to act like soldiers on a battlefield. Bloated government agencies were allowed to fleece taxpayers. Government technicians spied on our emails and phone calls. And government contractors made a killing by waging endless wars abroad.
The American President became more imperial. Although the Constitution invests the President with very specific, limited powers, in recent years, American presidents (Trump, Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc.) claimed the power to completely and almost unilaterally alter the landscape of this country for good or for ill. The powers that have been amassed by each successive president through the negligence of Congress and the courts—powers which add up to a toolbox of terror for an imperial ruler—empower whoever occupies the Oval Office to act as a dictator, above the law and beyond any real accountability. The presidency itself has become an imperial one with permanent powers.
Militarized police became a power unto themselves, 911 calls turned deadly, and traffic stops took a turn for the worse. Lacking in transparency and accountability, protected by the courts and legislators, and rife with misconduct, America’s police forces continued to be a menace to the citizenry and the rule of law. Despite concerns about the government’s steady transformation of local police into a standing military army, local police agencies acquired even more weaponry, training and equipment suited for the battlefield. Police officers were also given free range to pull anyone over for a variety of reasons and subject them to forced cavity searches, forced colonoscopies, forced blood draws, forced breath-alcohol tests, forced DNA extractions, forced eye scans, forced inclusion in biometric databases.
The courts failed to uphold justice. With every ruling handed down, it becomes more apparent that we live in an age of hollow justice, with government courts more concerned with protecting government agents than upholding the rights of “we the people.” This is true at all levels of the judiciary, but especially so in the highest court of the land, the U.S. Supreme Court, which is seemingly more concerned with establishing order and protecting government agents than with upholding the rights enshrined in the Constitution. A review of critical court rulings over the past two decades, including some ominous ones by the U.S. Supreme Court, reveals a startling and steady trend towards pro-police state rulings by an institution concerned more with establishing order and protecting the ruling class and government agents than with upholding the rights enshrined in the Constitution.
COVID-19 allowed the Emergency State to expand its powers. What started out as an apparent effort to prevent a novel coronavirus from sickening the nation (and the world) became yet another means by which world governments (including our own) could expand their powers, abuse their authority, and further oppress their constituents. While COVID-19 took a significant toll on the nation emotionally, physically, and economically, it also allowed the government to trample our rights in the so-called name of national security, with talk of mass testing for COVID-19 antibodies, screening checkpoints, contact tracing, immunity passports, forced vaccinations, snitch tip lines and onerous lockdowns.
The Surveillance State rendered Americans vulnerable to threats from government spies, police, hackers and power failures. Thanks to the government’s ongoing efforts to build massive databases using emerging surveillance, DNA and biometrics technologies, Americans have become sitting ducks for hackers and government spies alike. Billions of people have been affected by data breaches and cyberattacks. On a daily basis, Americans have been made to relinquish the most intimate details of who we are—our biological makeup, our genetic blueprints, and our biometrics (facial characteristics and structure, fingerprints, iris scans, etc.)—in order to navigate an increasingly technologically-enabled world.

Be warned: once you get on such a government watch list—whether it’s a terrorist watch list, a mental health watch list, a dissident watch list, or a red flag gun watch list—there’s no clear-cut way to get off, whether or not you should actually be on there.

The Deep State took over. The American system of representative government has been overthrown by the Deep State—a.k.a. the police state a.k.a. the military/corporate industrial complex—a profit-driven, militaristic corporate state bent on total control and global domination through the imposition of martial law here at home and by fomenting wars abroad. The “government of the people, by the people, for the people” has perished. In its place is a shadow government, a corporatized, militarized, entrenched bureaucracy that is fully operational and staffed by unelected officials who are, in essence, running the country and calling the shots in Washington DC, no matter who sits in the White House.

This is the hidden face of a government that has no respect for the freedom of its citizenry. This shadow government, which “operates according to its own compass heading regardless of who is formally in power,” makes a mockery of elections and the entire concept of a representative government.
The takeaway: Everything the founders of this country feared has come to dominate in modern America. “We the people” have been saddled with a government that is no longer friendly to freedom and is working overtime to trample the Constitution underfoot and render the citizenry powerless in the face of the government’s power grabs, corruption and abusive tactics.
So how do you balance the scales of justice at a time when Americans are being tasered, tear-gassed, pepper-sprayed, hit with batons, shot with rubber bullets and real bullets, blasted with sound cannons, detained in cages and kennels, sicced by police dogs, arrested and jailed for challenging the government’s excesses, abuses and power-grabs, and then locked down and stripped of any semblance of personal freedom?
No matter who sits in the White House, politics won’t fix a system that is broken beyond repair.
For that matter, protests and populist movements also haven’t done much to push back against an authoritarian regime that is deaf to our cries, dumb to our troubles, blind to our needs, and accountable to no one.
So how do you not only push back against the government’s bureaucracy, corruption and cruelty but also launch a counterrevolution aimed at reclaiming control over the government using nonviolent means?
You start by changing the rules and engaging in some (nonviolent) guerilla tactics.
Take your cue from the Tenth Amendment and nullify everything the government does that flies in the face of the principles on which this nation was founded. If there is any means left to us for thwarting the government in its relentless march towards outright dictatorship, it may rest with the power of juries and local governments to invalidate governmental laws, tactics and policies that are illegitimate, egregious or blatantly unconstitutional.
In an age in which government officials accused of wrongdoing—police officers, elected officials, etc.—are treated with general leniency, while the average citizen is prosecuted to the full extent of the law, nullification is a powerful reminder that, as the Constitution tells us, “we the people” are the government.
For too long we’ve allowed our so-called “representatives” to call the shots. Now it’s time to restore the citizenry to their rightful place in the republic: as the masters, not the servants.
Nullification is one way of doing so.
America was meant to be primarily a system of local governments, which is a far cry from the colossal federal bureaucracy we have today. Yet if our freedoms are to be restored, understanding what is transpiring practically in your own backyard—in one’s home, neighborhood, school district, town council—and taking action at that local level must be the starting point.
Responding to unmet local needs and reacting to injustices is what grassroots activism is all about. Attend local city council meetings, speak up at town hall meetings, organize protests and letter-writing campaigns, employ “militant nonviolent resistance” and civil disobedience, which Martin Luther King Jr. used to great effect through the use of sit-ins, boycotts and marches.
The power to change things for the better rests with us, not the politicians.
As long as we continue to allow callousness, cruelty, meanness, immorality, ignorance, hatred, intolerance, racism, militarism, materialism, meanness and injustice—magnified by an echo chamber of nasty tweets and government-sanctioned brutality—to trump justice, fairness and equality, there can be no hope of prevailing against the police state.
We could transform this nation if only Americans would work together to harness the power of their discontent and push back against the government’s overreach, excesses and abuse.
As I make clear in my book Battlefield America: The War on the American People, the police state is marching forward, more powerful than ever.
If there is to be any hope for freedom in 2021, it rests with “we the people.”

activistpost--2020-12-29--Recently Published Warnings Compilation about Utility “Smart” Meters from Health Experts

People worldwide DO NOT WANT utility “ Smart ” Meters – electric , gas , and water .
Customer bills are usually increased for their installation AND frequent replacement ( see 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ) .
Tens of millions have been installed and millions more are planned despite all the problems they cause – fires , explosions , higher bills , malfunctioning and broken appliances , cybersecurity risks ( see 1 , 2 ) , and health issues in people and animals ( see 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ) .
Some utility companies started allowing customers to “ opt out ” of these meters because of all the complaints .
Medical professionals and organizations have published warnings about radiation exposure from these meters on their websites ( see 1 , 2 ) .
Earlier this month , Dr. Joel Moskowitz posted a new compilation of medical warnings as well .
Adverse Health Effects from Radiofrequency ( RF ) Radiation with a Focus of AMI Meters David O. Carpenter , MD , Institute for Health and the Environment , University at Albany @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a presentation to the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission in October 2020 .
• EHS ( electrohypersensitivity ) is real , but not everyone is electrosensitive .
There is something about the signals from AMI* smart meters that makes them particularly provocative , probably the very rapid rise and fall of the signals .
• EHS is related to other disease syndromes characterized by similar symptoms .
Much more study is needed to determine what are the triggering events and especially what are the mechanisms of action .
• AMI meters benefit the utility @ @ @ @ @ @ @ who become ill from AMI meters placed on their home should have the ability to “ opt-out ” because they are dangerous to the health of those who are sensitive to RF signals .
* AMI = Advanced Metering Infrastructure , an integrated system of smart meters , communications networks , and data management systems that enables two-way communication between utilities and customers .
“ Health Experts Caution About Smart Meters ” ( 9/12/2012 ) , one of my most popular press releases , publicized an open letter that discusses why precaution is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ smart meters .
The letter which was signed by 54 scientists and medical professionals was originally published by La Maison du 21e siecle .
The letter is reprinted below .
Quebec-based magazine La Maison du 21e siecle asked physician David O. Carpenter , former founding dean of the University at Albany ( NY ) ’ s School of Public Health , to comment an open letter published in the Montreal daily Le Devoir on May 24 2012 .
This letter claimed wireless smart meters pose no risk to public health .
More than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
We , the undersigned are a group of scientists and health professionals who together have coauthored hundreds of peer-reviewed studies on the health effects of electromagnetic fields ( EMFs ) .
We wish to correct some of the gross misinformation found in the letter regarding wireless “ smart ” meters that was published in the Montreal daily Le Devoir on May 24 .
Submitted by a group Quebec engineers , physicists and chemists , the letter in question reflects an obvious lack of understanding of the science behind the health impacts of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ emitted by these meters .
The statement that « Thousands of studies , both epidemiological and experimental in humans , show no increase in cancer cases as a result of exposure to radio waves of low intensity… » is false ( 1 ) .
In fact , only a few such studies — two dozen case-control studies of mobile phone use , certainly not thousands , have reported no elevations of cancer , and most were funded by the wireless industry .
In addition , these reassuring studies contained significant experimental design flaws @ @ @ @ @ @ @ followed were too small and were followed for a too short period of time .
Non industry-funded studies have clearly demonstrated a significant increase in cancer cases among individuals who have suffered from prolonged exposure to low-level microwaves , transmitted notably by radio antennas .
The effects were best documented in meta-analyses that have been published and that include grouped results from several different studies : these analyses consistently showed an increased risk of brain cancer among regular users of a cell phone who have been exposed to microwaves for at least ten @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vulnerable ( 2 ) .
For example , the 2009 Hardell-Carlberg study reported a consistent association between use of mobile or cordless phones and two types of head tumors , astrocytoma grade I-IV and acoustic neuroma .
The authors » found an especially high risk for persons that started use of mobile or cordless phones before the age of 20 years , although based on low numbers » .
Brain Cancer Rates Furthermore , the argument that brain cancer rates do not indicate an overall increase in incidence is not evidence that cell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brain cancer in adults after environmental exposure can be long , up to 20-30 years .
Most North Americans haven ’ t used cell phones extensively for that long .
The evidence of the link between long-term cell phone use and brain cancer comes primarily from Northern Europe , where cell phones have been commonly used since the 1990s .
Nevertheless , the most recent collection of primary brain tumors mined from pathology units in Australia showed brain cancer incidence rose by about 35 % between 2000 and 2008 in the Australian Capital @ @ @ @ @ @ @ population : more than 7 million ) .
In May 2011 , after reviewing the published scientific literature regarding cancers affecting cell phone users , the International Agency for Research on Cancer ( IARC ) classified radiofrequency radiation as a 2B , possible human carcinogen .
Despite the absence of scientific consensus , the evidence is sufficiently compelling for any cautious parent to want to reduce their loved one ’ s exposure to RF/microwave emissions as much as possible , as recommended by various countries such as Austria , Belgium , Germany , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Public fears about wireless smart meters are well-founded .
They are backed by various medical authorities such as those of the Santa Cruz County ( California ) Public Health Department .
These authorities are worried about the growing number of citizens who say they have developed electrohypersensitivity ( EHS ) , especially since for many of them , the symptoms developed after the installation of such meters ( it takes some time for most people to link the two events ) .
Since the turn of the millennium , people are increasingly affected @ @ @ @ @ @ @ popularity of wireless devices such as cell phones and Wi-Fi Internet .
Therefore , the mass deployment of smart grids could expose large chunks of the general population to alarming risk scenarios without their consent .
According to seven surveys done in six European countries between 2002 and 2004 , about 10 % of Europeans have become electrosensitive .
The most famous person to publicly reveal her electrosensitivity is Gro Harlem Brundtland , formerly Prime Minister of Norway and retired Director of the World Health Organization ( WHO ) .
While there is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of EHS , many physicians and other specialists around the world have become aware that EHS symptoms ( neurological dermatological , acoustical , etc . )
seem to be triggered by exposure to EMF levels well below current international exposure limits , which are established solely on short-term thermal effects ( 3 ) .
Organizations such as the Austrian Medical Association and the American Academy of Environmental Medicine have recognized that the ideal way to treat of EHS is to reduce EMF exposure .
Therefore , caution is warranted because the growing variety @ @ @ @ @ @ @ devices such as smart meters have never been tested for their potential biological effects .
Well-known bioeffects While the specific pathways to cancer are not fully understood , it is scientifically unacceptable to deny the weight of the evidence regarding the increase in cancer cases in humans that are exposed to high levels of RF/microwave radiation .
The statement that « there is no established mechanism by which a radio wave could induce an adverse effect on human tissue other than by heating » is incorrect , and reflects a lack of awareness @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the subject .
In fact , more than a thousand studies done on low intensity , high frequency , non-ionizing radiation , going back at least fifty years , show that some biological mechanisms of effect do not involve heat .
This radiation sends signals to living tissue that stimulate biochemical changes , which can generate various symptoms and may lead to diseases such as cancer .
Even though RF/microwaves don ’ t have the energy to directly break chemical bonds , unlike ionizing radiation such as X-rays , there is scientific evidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ indirectly leading to cancer by a combination of biological effects .
Recent publications have documented the generation of free radicals , increased permeability of the blood brain barrier allowing potentially toxic chemicals to enter the brain , induction of genes , as well as altered electrical and metabolic activity in human brains upon application of cell phone RF/microwaves similar to those produced by smart meters .
These effects are cumulative and depend on many factors including RF/microwave levels , frequency , waveform , exposure time , biovariability between individuals and combination with other @ @ @ @ @ @ @ microwaves are indeed bioactive has been shown by the fact that low-intensity EMFs have proven clinically useful in some circumstances .
Pulsed EMFs have long been used to successfully treat bone fractures that are resistant to other forms of therapy .
More recently , frequency-specific , amplitude-modulated EMFs have been found useful to treat advanced carcinoma and chronic pain .
High frequency EMFs such as the microwaves used in cell phones , smart meters , Wi-Fi and cordless ‘ ‘ DECT ’ ’ phones , appear to be the most damaging when used @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , including symptoms of electrohypersensitivity , can be seen in the damage done to cellular membranes by the loss of structurally-important calcium ions .
Prolonged exposure to these high frequencies may eventually lead to cellular malfunction and death .
Furthermore , malfunction of the parathyroid gland , located in the neck just inches from where one holds a cell phone , may actually cause electrohypersensitivity in some people by reducing the background level of calcium ions in the blood .
RF/microwave radiation is also known to decrease the production of melatonin , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the growth of existing cancer cells .
Early warning scientists attacked In recommending that the Precautionary Principle be applied in EMF matters , the European Environment Agency ’ s Director Jacqueline McGlade wrote in 2009 : “ We have noted from previous health hazard histories such as that of lead in petrol , and methyl mercury , that ‘ early warning ’ scientists frequently suffer from discrimination , from loss of research funds , and from unduly personal attacks on their scientific integrity .
It would be surprising if this is not already @ @ @ @ @ @ @ » Such unfortunate consequences have indeed occurred .
The statement in the Le Devoir letter that « if we consider that a debate should take place , it should focus exclusively on the effects of cell phones on health » is basically an acknowledgement that there is at least some reason to be concerned about cell phones .
However , while the immediate exposure from a cell phone is of much greater intensity than the exposure from smart meters , cell phone use is temporary .
Smart meters As Australian Associate Professor of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ neurological effects have been reported in people who sustain close proximity to wireless meters , especially under 10 feet ( 3 metres ) .
A wireless smart meter produces radiofrequency microwave radiation with two antennas in approximately the same frequency range ( 900 MHz to 2.4 GHz ) as a typical cell tower .
But , depending on how close it is to occupied space within a home , a smart meter can cause much higher RF exposures than cell towers commonly do .
If a smart meter is located on a common @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than a garage wall , for example , the RF exposure can be the same as being within 200 to 600 feet distance of a cell tower with multiple carriers .
With both cell towers and smart meters , the entire body is immersed by microwaves that go out in all directions , which increases the risk of overexposure to many sensitive organs such as the eyes and testicles .
With a cell phone , people are exposed to microwaves primarily in the head and neck ( unless using speaker mode ) , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on or in standby mode .
Wireless smart meters typically produce atypical , relatively potent and very short pulsed RF/microwaves whose biological effects have never been fully tested .
They emit these millisecond-long RF bursts on average 9,600 times a day with a maximum of 190,000 daily transmissions and a peak level emission two and a half times higher than the stated safety signal , as the California utility Pacific Gas & Electric recognized before that State ’ s Public Utilities Commission .
Thus people in proximity to a smart meter are at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exposure than with a cell phone , not to mention the cumulative exposure received by people living near multiple meters mounted together , pole-mounted routers or utility collector meters using a third antenna to relay RF signals from 500 to 5,000 homes .
A technical study performed by Sage Associates in California indicates that RF levels from various scenarios depicting normal smart meter installation and operation may violate even the out-of-date US public safety standards which only consider acute thermal effects .
This can happen when a person stands close to the meter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ touches it , or shades the meter face with a hand to better read it .
Emissions are also increased by reflective materials , such as stainless steel , other metals and mirrors , which can re-radiate stronger that the otherwise unaltered background .
Microwaves are absorbed and dissipated by partially conductive materials , such as cement and special RF shielding paints and fabrics .
In addition to the erratic bursts of modulated microwaves emitted by wireless smart meters transferring usage data to electric , gas and water utilities , wireless as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meters are also a major source of ‘ ’ dirty electricity ’ ’ ( electrical interference of high frequency voltage transients typically of kilohertz frequencies ) .
Some scientists , such as American epidemiologist Sam Milham , believe that many of the health complaints about smart meters may also be caused by dirty electricity generated by the « switching » power supply activating all smart meters .
Since the installation of filters to reduce dirty electricity circulating on house wiring has been found to relieve symptoms of EHS in some people , this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ aimed at reducing potential adverse impacts .
Indeed , the Salzburg State ( Austria ) Public Health Department confirms its concern about the potential public health risk when in coming years almost every electric wire and device will emit such transient electric fields in the kilohertz-range due to wired smart meters .
Rather be safe than sorry The apparent adverse health effects noted with smart meter exposure are likely to be further exacerbated if smart appliances that use wireless communications become the norm and further increase unwarranted exposure .
To date , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ health effects of such sources of more continuous but lower intensity microwaves .
However , we know after decades of studies of hazardous chemical substances , that chronic exposure to low concentrations of microwaves can cause equal or even greater harm than an acute exposure to high concentrations of the same microwaves .
This is why so many scientists and medical experts urgently recommend that measures following the Precautionary Principle be applied immediately — such as using wired meters — to reduce biologically inappropriate microwave exposure .
We are not advocating the abolishment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of common sense and the development and implementation of best practices in using these technologies in order to reduce exposure and risk of health hazards .

The statement that « Thousands of studies, both epidemiological and experimental in humans, show no increase in cancer cases as a result of exposure to radio waves of low intensity… » is false (1). In fact, only a few such studies — two dozen case-control studies of mobile phone use, certainly not thousands, have reported no elevations of cancer, and most were funded by the wireless industry. In addition, these reassuring studies contained significant experimental design flaws, mainly the fact that the populations followed were too small and were followed for a too short period of time.
Non industry-funded studies have clearly demonstrated a significant increase in cancer cases among individuals who have suffered from prolonged exposure to low-level microwaves, transmitted notably by radio antennas. The effects were best documented in meta-analyses that have been published and that include grouped results from several different studies: these analyses consistently showed an increased risk of brain cancer among regular users of a cell phone who have been exposed to microwaves for at least ten years. Children and youths are especially vulnerable (2). For example, the 2009 Hardell-Carlberg study reported a consistent association between use of mobile or cordless phones and two types of head tumors, astrocytoma grade I-IV and acoustic neuroma. The authors »found an especially high risk for persons that started use of mobile or cordless phones before the age of 20 years, although based on low numbers ».
Brain Cancer Rates
Furthermore, the argument that brain cancer rates do not indicate an overall increase in incidence is not evidence that cell phones are safe: the latency for brain cancer in adults after environmental exposure can be long, up to 20-30 years. Most North Americans haven’t used cell phones extensively for that long. The evidence of the link between long-term cell phone use and brain cancer comes primarily from Northern Europe, where cell phones have been commonly used since the 1990s. Nevertheless, the most recent collection of primary brain tumors mined from pathology units in Australia showed brain cancer incidence rose by about 35% between 2000 and 2008 in the Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales (total population : more than 7 million).
In May 2011, after reviewing the published scientific literature regarding cancers affecting cell phone users, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified radiofrequency radiation as a 2B, possible human carcinogen. Despite the absence of scientific consensus, the evidence is sufficiently compelling for any cautious parent to want to reduce their loved one’s exposure to RF/microwave emissions as much as possible, as recommended by various countries such as Austria, Belgium, Germany, Russia and the United Kingdom.
Electrosensitivity
Public fears about wireless smart meters are well-founded. They are backed by various medical authorities such as those of the Santa Cruz County(California) Public Health Department. These authorities are worried about the growing number of citizens who say they have developed electrohypersensitivity (EHS), especially since for many of them, the symptoms developed after the installation of such meters (it takes some time for most people to link the two events).
Since the turn of the millennium, people are increasingly affected by ambient microwaves due to the growing popularity of wireless devices such as cell phones and Wi-Fi Internet. Therefore, the mass deployment of smart grids could expose large chunks of the general population to alarming risk scenarios without their consent. According to seven surveys done in six European countries between 2002 and 2004, about 10% of Europeans have become electrosensitive. The most famous person to publicly reveal her electrosensitivity is Gro Harlem Brundtland, formerly Prime Minister of Norway and retired Director of the World Health Organization (WHO).
While there is no consensus on the origins and mechanisms of EHS, many physicians and other specialists around the world have become aware that EHS symptoms (neurological dermatological, acoustical, etc.) seem to be triggered by exposure to EMF levels well below current international exposure limits, which are established solely on short-term thermal effects (3). Organizations such as the Austrian Medical Association and the American Academy of Environmental Medicine have recognized that the ideal way to treat of EHS is to reduce EMF exposure.
Therefore, caution is warranted because the growing variety of RF/microwave emissions produced by many wireless devices such as smart meters have never been tested for their potential biological effects.
Well-known bioeffects
While the specific pathways to cancer are not fully understood, it is scientifically unacceptable to deny the weight of the evidence regarding the increase in cancer cases in humans that are exposed to high levels of RF/microwave radiation.
The statement that « there is no established mechanism by which a radio wave could induce an adverse effect on human tissue other than by heating » is incorrect, and reflects a lack of awareness and understanding of the scientific literature on the subject. In fact, more than a thousand studies done on low intensity, high frequency, non-ionizing radiation, going back at least fifty years, show that some biological mechanisms of effect do not involve heat. This radiation sends signals to living tissue that stimulate biochemical changes, which can generate various symptoms and may lead to diseases such as cancer.
Even though RF/microwaves don’t have the energy to directly break chemical bonds, unlike ionizing radiation such as X-rays, there is scientific evidence that this energy can cause DNA damage indirectly leading to cancer by a combination of biological effects. Recent publications have documented the generation of free radicals, increased permeability of the blood brain barrier allowing potentially toxic chemicals to enter the brain, induction of genes, as well as altered electrical and metabolic activity in human brains upon application of cell phone RF/microwaves similar to those produced by smart meters.
These effects are cumulative and depend on many factors including RF/microwave levels, frequency, waveform, exposure time, biovariability between individuals and combination with other toxic agents. Clear evidence that these microwaves are indeed bioactive has been shown by the fact that low-intensity EMFs have proven clinically useful in some circumstances. Pulsed EMFs have long been used to successfully treat bone fractures that are resistant to other forms of therapy. More recently, frequency-specific, amplitude-modulated EMFs have been found useful to treat advanced carcinoma and chronic pain.
High frequency EMFs such as the microwaves used in cell phones, smart meters, Wi-Fi and cordless ‘‘DECT’’ phones, appear to be the most damaging when used commonly. Most of their biological effects, including symptoms of electrohypersensitivity, can be seen in the damage done to cellular membranes by the loss of structurally-important calcium ions. Prolonged exposure to these high frequencies may eventually lead to cellular malfunction and death.
Furthermore, malfunction of the parathyroid gland, located in the neck just inches from where one holds a cell phone, may actually cause electrohypersensitivity in some people by reducing the background level of calcium ions in the blood. RF/microwave radiation is also known to decrease the production of melatonin, which protects against cancer, and to promote the growth of existing cancer cells.
Early warning scientists attacked
In recommending that the Precautionary Principle be applied in EMF matters, the European Environment Agency’s Director Jacqueline McGlade wrote in 2009: “We have noted from previous health hazard histories such as that of lead in petrol, and methyl mercury, that ‘early warning’ scientists frequently suffer from discrimination, from loss of research funds, and from unduly personal attacks on their scientific integrity. It would be surprising if this is not already a feature of the present EMF controversy… » Such unfortunate consequences have indeed occurred.
The statement in the Le Devoir letter that « if we consider that a debate should take place, it should focus exclusively on the effects of cell phones on health » is basically an acknowledgement that there is at least some reason to be concerned about cell phones. However, while the immediate exposure from a cell phone is of much greater intensity than the exposure from smart meters, cell phone use is temporary.
Smart meters
As Australian Associate Professor of neurosurgery Vini G. Khurana reports, adverse neurological effects have been reported in people who sustain close proximity to wireless meters, especially under 10 feet (3 metres).
A wireless smart meter produces radiofrequency microwave radiation with two antennas in approximately the same frequency range (900 MHz to 2.4 GHz) as a typical cell tower. But, depending on how close it is to occupied space within a home, a smart meter can cause much higher RF exposures than cell towers commonly do. If a smart meter is located on a common wall with a bedroom or kitchen rather than a garage wall, for example, the RF exposure can be the same as being within 200 to 600 feet distance of a cell tower with multiple carriers. With both cell towers and smart meters, the entire body is immersed by microwaves that go out in all directions, which increases the risk of overexposure to many sensitive organs such as the eyes and testicles. With a cell phone, people are exposed to microwaves primarily in the head and neck (unless using speaker mode), and only when the device is turned on or in standby mode.
Wireless smart meters typically produce atypical, relatively potent and very short pulsed RF/microwaves whose biological effects have never been fully tested. They emit these millisecond-long RF bursts on average 9,600 times a day with a maximum of 190,000 daily transmissions and a peak level emission two and a half times higher than the stated safety signal, as the California utility Pacific Gas & Electric recognized before that State’s Public Utilities Commission. Thus people in proximity to a smart meter are at risk of significantly greater aggregate of RF/microwave exposure than with a cell phone, not to mention the cumulative exposure received by people living near multiple meters mounted together, pole-mounted routers or utility collector meters using a third antenna to relay RF signals from 500 to 5,000 homes.
A technical study performed by Sage Associates in California indicates that RF levels from various scenarios depicting normal smart meter installation and operation may violate even the out-of-date US public safety standards which only consider acute thermal effects. This can happen when a person stands close to the meter to read the power consumption, or touches it, or shades the meter face with a hand to better read it. Emissions are also increased by reflective materials, such as stainless steel, other metals and mirrors, which can re-radiate stronger that the otherwise unaltered background. Microwaves are absorbed and dissipated by partially conductive materials, such as cement and special RF shielding paints and fabrics.
In addition to the erratic bursts of modulated microwaves emitted by wireless smart meters transferring usage data to electric, gas and water utilities, wireless as well as wired smart (powerline communication) meters are also a major source of ‘’dirty electricity’’ (electrical interference of high frequency voltage transients typically of kilohertz frequencies). Some scientists, such as American epidemiologist Sam Milham, believe that many of the health complaints about smart meters may also be caused by dirty electricity generated by the « switching » power supply activating all smart meters. Since the installation of filters to reduce dirty electricity circulating on house wiring has been found to relieve symptoms of EHS in some people, this method should be considered among the priorities aimed at reducing potential adverse impacts. Indeed, the Salzburg State (Austria) Public Health Department confirms its concern about the potential public health risk when in coming years almost every electric wire and device will emit such transient electric fields in the kilohertz-range due to wired smart meters.
Rather be safe than sorry
The apparent adverse health effects noted with smart meter exposure are likely to be further exacerbated if smart appliances that use wireless communications become the norm and further increase unwarranted exposure.
To date, there have been few independent studies of the health effects of such sources of more continuous but lower intensity microwaves. However, we know after decades of studies of hazardous chemical substances, that chronic exposure to low concentrations of microwaves can cause equal or even greater harm than an acute exposure to high concentrations of the same microwaves.
This is why so many scientists and medical experts urgently recommend that measures following the Precautionary Principle be applied immediately — such as using wired meters — to reduce biologically inappropriate microwave exposure. We are not advocating the abolishment of RF technologies, only the use of common sense and the development and implementation of best practices in using these technologies in order to reduce exposure and risk of health hazards.

“Smart” Meter proponents promised that these meters would save meaningful amounts of energy. Research has proven that THEY DON’T. In fact, even proponents are becoming disappointed with their performance. Nevertheless, these meters are extremely profitable to utility companies because they are 2-way transmitting whereas original analog meters are not. This feature allows utility companies to collect minute-by-minute customer usage data which they can analyze in order to market more products and services to customers. They can also sell usage data to 3rd parties (see 1, 2). “Smart” Meters also allow utilities to remotely turn off services and ration energy. Online documentary – “Take Back Your Power” – reveals more despicable details.
