Starmer is perversely determined that Israeli football fans will attend their team's match in Birmingham, even though the area is now 70% Muslim and mini-Israel-Gaza violence is a serious danger, says Laurie Wastell.

A windless week exposes that the UK is now totally dependent on importing electricity at times of stress. This is hardly the 'energy security' that Ed Miliband continually warbles on about, says Paul Homewood.

Mass Rally in SF against Smart Meters

category national | sci-tech | news report author Thursday September 08, 2011 09:36author by getouttamyhead Report this post to the editors

The world recognises EHS as genuine - in Ireland you only think you're sick

In Ireland, you’re psycho. In Sweden the government recognizes electromagnetic sensitivity as a medical condition. In Spain this week the courts recognized the condition following assessment by a group of experts. In San Francisco organizers have announced plans for a mass rally against Smart Meters.

In Ireland, you’re psycho. In Sweden the government recognizes electromagnetic sensitivity as a medical condition. In Spain this week the courts recognized the condition following assessment by a group of experts. In San Francisco organizers have announced plans for a mass rally against Smart Meters.

Tests in Ireland were recently declared a success.

According to a 2007 report by Dr. Sarah Doyle, a specialist in Public Health Medicine for the Regional health forum (HSE-South): “GPs in Ireland should be provided with information about the appropriate treatment for EHS symptoms and be informed that the symptoms are NOT due to EMF exposure.”

(For a full explanation of the Spanish Ruling see: http://www.noticiasmedicas.es/medicina/noticias/10451/1....html)

Meanwhile a call has been issued in San Francisco for a mass protest next week:

******ALERT: MASS PROTEST/ PRESS CONFERENCE SEPT. 14 12:30PM******
 
***‘OPT OUT’ WORKSHOP ALL DAY 9:30 A.M.- 5 P.M.***
 
***CA PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION 505 VAN NESS, SF***
 
It’s time to separate “smart” meter fact from "smart" meter fiction:
 
Myth: The utilities claim that smart meters are a fraction of the radiation levels of cell phones.
Fact: “Smart” Meter radiation is significantly stronger than from cell phones- see http://stopsmartmeters.org/2011/09/04/comparing-cell-ph...tion/
 
Myth: The CPUC defers to the FCC on maximum allowable wireless pulses.   The FCC claims that no “non-thermal” biological effects exist.
Fact:  The National Institutes of Health (NIH) found chemical changes in the brain from cell phone exposure, a ‘smoking gun’ finding that demonstrates a clear non-thermal effect.  See http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/22/cellphone-use-...vity/
 
Myth:  The utilities have been citing the World Health Organization (WHO) to justify the safety of their radiation emitting “smart” meters.
Fact:  On May 31st, 2011 the WHO classified smart meter radiation as a Class 2B carcinogen.  See http://www.iarc.fr/en/media-centre/pr/2011/pdfs/pr208_E.pdf (pdf) The utilities no longer refer to the WHO at all.
 
Myth:  CPUC President Michael Peevey has been insulting electro-sensitive individuals, inferring that they are “just making it up” or are “psychosomatic”
Fact:  On Sept. 5th, the International Journal of Neuroscience reported that “EMF hypersensitivity can occur as a bona fide environmentally inducible neurological syndrome.”  See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21793784
 
Attend the all day "opt out" workshop, which will be held in the main auditorium at the CPUC- 505 Van Ness Ave. in San Francisco- starting at 9:30am until 5pm.  Let’s pack the chambers!
 
Join us during the lunch break at 12:30 to make some noise and protest this illegal opt out extortion plan.

Our demands:
 
-Charging a fee based on a medical condition is immoral not to mention illegal under CA Utility Code. Analog opt-outs must be at no cost.
 
-Communities retain the right to say NO to the ‘smart’ meter program.
 
-Pull the plug on the wireless mesh network.  Period.
