Qlink Pendant : www.emfnews.org Qlink Pendant Reviews: www.emfnews.org Home Radiation Protection : www.emfnews.org I learned that in February 1996, Congress had passed a law prohibiting local governments from denying permits for cell phone antennae because of environmental concerns – so long as they comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. I also learned that the FCC had just issued regulations setting public exposure limits for microwave radiation at levels at least ten thousand times higher than levels which, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, were causing reports of illness from all over the world. Levels that are at least ten thousand times higher than the levels that had forced me to leave behind my home, my family, and my friends, and to run for my life, never to be able to return home again. The Cellular Phone Task Force, along with over 50 other grass roots organisations and individuals around the US, became involved in a legal challenge of the FCC’s absurd standards and its pre-emption of local control. This was taken all the way to the US Supreme Court. Dozens of cities, towns and public officials, including several US senators and representatives, submitted briefs urging the High Court to hear our case. But in January 2001, the Supreme Court, without comment, declined. You will hear statements by supposed experts – always the same few, in the pay of the telecommunications industry – to the effect that cell phones/cell towers …

Hachiko Coalition: Animal Rescuers Defy Orders, Enter TEPCO Radiation Exclusion Zone to Rescue Starving Pets
Hachiko Coalition: Animal Rescuers Defy Orders, Enter TEPCO Radiation Exclusion Zone to Rescue Starving Pets
(PRWEB) May 04, 2011
The Hachiko Coalition calls attention to the plight of pets left inside the evacuation zone in Japan.
On April 21, the Japanese government decided to begin enforcing a “no-go” policy within the 20km radiation evacuation zone inside Fukushima Prefecture [1]. This decision prevents access inside this zone by private Animal Search and Rescue (SAR) teams who were previously evacuating domesticated animals inside the zone.
Estimates provided by the Fukushima Prefecture government place the number of registered dogs within the nine municipalities under evacuation orders at more than 5800 [2]. This figure does not include the many cats or unregistered dogs. Other local animal welfare groups have placed this estimate closer to 10,000 dogs. Many of these animals were left at home when the evacuation took place.
In a video dated April 28th created by Global Animal Magazine, footage clearly shows the situation is deteriorating [3]. Signs have been posted on the edge of towns that read: “There are dogs and cats near here, please someone feed them.”
In a stunning example of selfless action, yet another video shows a family who re-entered the zone attempting to rescue and feed animals while also recovering the dead [4]. Mr. Hosti, who obtained the video footage, reported the radiation levels in that location were 70-90μSv/h.
In a message posted to Facebook, Hosti also stated: “The government deserted the animals. Animal[s] dies if there is no food. We violated the law, invaded, and helped the dog[s]. However, a lot of animals are left. These are animals sacrificed in [sic] the Fukushima nuclear power plant [5].”
These pleas for help are surreal, however evacuation of the domesticated animals was being conducted by trained Animal Search and Rescue (A-SAR) teams and can continue safely if the government simply allows it. Furthermore, On April 27, 11 veterinarians entered the exclusion zone and found the radiation levels of the dogs and other animals was not high enough to require decontamination or quarantine [6]. However, the levels of radiation will increase as the animals are continuously exposed, therefore they must be evacuated immediately.
Pet owners have entered the evacuation zone, slipping past police officers and others to remove their pets from their homes in the 20-kilometer zone, prefectural government officials said [7].
The Hachiko Coalition requests that the government and Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) act now to evacuate these animals. Furthermore, TEPCO should also immediately release disaster response funding from their insurance pools to the impacted prefectures for the use of animal evacuation.
Today, The International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) has convened a conference of international radiation experts and other representatives including: Japanese Ministry of Environment, United States Department of Agriculture (USDA): APHIS Animal Care and Wildlife Services, United States Army Veterinary Corps, veterinary and toxicology experts, academics, and IFAW [8].
While this conference may result in a new measures being taken to evacuate the animals, the Japanese government must allow these measures to be implemented. If not, the only recourse may be filing a positive injunction in order to regain access inside the exclusion zone.
The Hachiko Coalition provides evacuation support during disasters and Coalition members are concerned with the welfare of these animals. The Hachiko Coalition is calling for the organized, and immediate evacuation of all uncontaminated domestic animals and livestock inside the exclusion zone.
Tens of thousands of concerned people have signed on to multiple petitions requesting evacuation on the Internet [9]. One group even claims to be organizing a vigil for those animals who have lost their lives and those still living but at risk of dying on May 8th, Jingu Dori Park, Shibuya-ku, Jingumae 6-21, Tokyo [10].
While this triple disaster (earthquake, tsunami, radiation) may be unprecedented that does not mean it is unmanageable. Japan has vast resources and technical know-how, it simply needs to exercise the resolve and solve this problem and demand emergency evacuation funding from TEPCO.
The Hachiko Coalition believes the current “starve them out” plan to deal with these animals is unacceptable from company who is capable of using nuclear energy and is reprehensible to the many people witnessing the events as they unfold.

Cordless Phones Wellness Rsks : www.emfnews.org Blue tube headset : www.emfnews.org Because there are practically no workplaces without computers any more, I have not held a job since 1990. I had resigned myself to living on Social Security Disability, and learned, together with other members of a support group I had discovered, how greatest to live with my disability. This mostly meant studying to avoid exposure to electromagnetic fields. But in July 1996, to my dismay, I learned that an innovation was coming to my city, which threatened to make it impossible to steer clear of exposure any much more. At that time, cell phones were nonetheless a luxury item that only worked in some places. Folks were not accustomed to staying connected whenever they left their residence, and even at house most nonetheless had a cord, not an antenna, attached to their telephone. Most were not accustomed to holding devices that emit microwave radiation subsequent to their brain. In 1996, the telecommunications business began a marketing and advertising campaign created to alter all that. For Christmas that year, all more than the country, digital cell phones were going to be on a lot of shopping lists. And to make them more practical, tens of thousands of antennae were going to be erected on towers, buildings, church steeples and lampposts all more than the country prior to Christmas, and hundreds of thousands far more in the course of the next couple of years. In response to this emergency, a few buddies and I produced the Cellular Phone Task Force, and contacted all the public …

Protection Against Cell Telephone Radiation : www.emfnews.org Today I am homeless. My money does not present me shelter. My good health does not guarantee my survival. My pals are unable to support me. I am getting killed, but the law delivers me no protection. For eight years I have supplied advocacy and support in North America and worldwide for people in similar circumstances. Some have epilepsy, or heart disease, or diabetes, or cancer. Some have allergies or asthma. But most, like me, are in great wellness. The assault we are all suffering is a radical increase in electromagnetic pollution, or electrosmog, that is engulfing the earth. In 1982 1 was in my final year of medical school, a promising career ahead of me. For numerous months I had been getting headaches and difficulty concentrating and remembering things. Then, whilst on a surgery rotation, I suffered crippling pains in my hips, producing it difficult to help in operations. My heart rate slowed to less than 50. 1 day I collapsed and was unable to get up. My chest hurt, and I could not get sufficient breath. I was sure I was having a heart attack. Throughout the next two weeks I lost 15 pounds. And I was a slim man to start with. It wasn’t a heart attack, but it was still six months prior to I could walk up a flight of stairs without becoming short of breath. It was three years just before I was powerful enough to ski again. It was seven years prior to I met someone who validated my own knowledge that becoming near specific electrical appliances …
