Regarding the article by Imelda in Cork, Ireland.

Perhaps a valid testament could be obtained from a willing member of the
Psychiatric world explaining why they are wont to practice 'trans-cranial' emf radiation as a form of some ill-defined 'cure' specifically for people diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic.

That is exactly the treatment that has been prescribed here in western
Canada. IE: trans-cranial emf. In the dark ages it was known as 'shock treatment' or EST.

Could this possibly be a case of applying the untested and theoretical
quasi-science of induced emf to cure or combat an affliction (emf sensitivity) that is as yet largely denied or ignored?

Now that would be outrageously disgraceful wouldn't it. Wouldn't it?

My sincere empathy to Imelda.

Zoran developments
------------------
The high court decision from yesterday is to remove until the end of this year the non-transmitting antennas, the environmemt quality office decision is to remove the non - transmitting antennas with the money of Bezeq, the state and...the villages council.

Ehud Ulmert's (trade and industry minister) written commitment is that until the end of this year Hillel station will stop operate.

These developments led the residents to withdraw their protest and they did not go to a protest tent, they even considered it as their victory but expressed their hope that they are not being lied again.

Meanwhile they are being exposed to levels of 90-100 V/m (40 V/m in a "good" day). The authorities, in spite of that, claim that the levels are about 8 V/m.

The report of the Health ministry states that there is not excess in the illness in the villages around Hillel station, therefore it is irrelevant to check if there is a relationship between the cancer rate and the radiation...

How did they get to that? Maybe by doing average only with the cases diagnosed from 1990 in spite of the fact that Porat has cases since 1977, and the fact that Zoran was only built in 1992.

Questions: What about the transmitting antennas? they are the ones which irradiate, not the non- transmitting....And why Zoran people have to pay for the non- transmitting antennas? What an absurd.

Anyway - the residents didn't raise these questions and agreed to pay. They keep their right to come back to the court in September.

Nonmoreemf's technical question
-------------------------------
Dear 'nomoreemf',

did you get an answer to the question that you posted on 26 May? I have been away on leave and in scanning my Yahoo e-mail do not see a response to your question. I would be interested to know why you should suffer worse health effects in winter from your nearby AM tower than in summer ie why does the power density increase in winter as opposed to the density in spring.

If you received a reply I hope the sender will not mind if you post it in its entirety because I think that the more knowledge we all have the better able we are to fight harmful emr and radio waves. Kind regards

Answer:

Hello Dorothy,

In case you don't get an answer I can only say that water and moisture attract the radiation.

"The HULK" and EMF
------------------
For those of you who have not yet watched the new motion picture from Hollywood, the Hulk, one of the older cartoons out there, has now been recreated.

The story involves all kinds of strong weapons to deal with the strong cartoon character "The Hulk". This list includeds helicopters, jets, tanks, and more.

None of them worked and the military in the story was tossed around like toys. Nothing seemed to work..Then one last item was used.. the ultimate power, EMF.

Quote: "He is now between the Electromagnetic Array, if he moves an inch, turn on the juice". This means only EMF would take down the Hulk. As you look carefully, the Antennas used are the size of the large cellular basestation cones.

As the world is told that towers and phones are safe, once again, Hollywood presents emf as a very dangerous device, in this case, more powerful and deadly then any other on earth.

This is important news. I strongly doubt that this warning will receive much coverage on the broadcast networks, although I'd expect some of the print media to cover it at least once. Please share this info with everyone you know - including the skeptics. Margie

Reaping the whirlwind
Extreme weather prompts unprecedented global warming alert
03 July 2003

In an astonishing announcement on global warming and extreme weather, the World Meteorological Organisation signalled last night that the world's weather is going haywire.

In a startling report, the WMO, which normally produces detailed scientific reports and staid statistics at the year's end, highlighted record extremes in weather and climate occurring all over the world in recent weeks, from Switzerland's hottest-ever June to a record month for tornadoes in the United States - and linked them to climate change.

The unprecedented warning takes its force and significance from the fact that it is not coming from Greenpeace or Friends of the Earth, but from an impeccably respected UN organisation that is not given to hyperbole (though environmentalists will seize on it to claim that the direst warnings of climate change are being borne out).

The Geneva-based body, to which the weather services of 185 countries contribute, takes the view that events this year in Europe, America and Asia are so remarkable that the world needs to be made aware of it immediately.

The extreme weather it documents, such as record high and low temperatures, record rainfall and record storms in different parts of the world, is consistent with predictions of global warming. Supercomputer models show that, as the atmosphere warms, the climate not only becomes hotter but much more unstable.

"Recent scientific assessments indicate that, as the global temperatures continue to warm due to climate change, the number and intensity of extreme events might increase," the WMO said, giving a striking series of examples.

In southern France, record temperatures were recorded in June, rising above 40C in places - temperatures of 5C to 7C above the average.

In Switzerland, it was the hottest June in at least 250 years, environmental historians said. In Geneva, since 29 May, daytime temperatures have not fallen below 25C, making it the hottest June recorded.

In the United States, there were 562 May tornadoes, which caused 41 deaths.

This set a record for any month. The previous record was 399 in June 1992.

In India, this year's pre-monsoon heatwave brought peak temperatures of 45C - 2C to 5C above the norm. At least 1,400 people died in India due to the hot weather. In Sri Lanka, heavy rainfall from Tropical Cyclone 01B exacerbated wet conditions, resulting in flooding and landslides and killing at least 300 people. The infrastructure and economy of south-west Sri Lanka was heavily damaged. A reduction of 20-30 per cent is expected in the output of low-grown tea in the next three months.

Last month was also the hottest in England and Wales since 1976, with average temperatures of 16C. The WMO said: "These record extreme events (high temperatures, low temperatures and high rainfall amounts and droughts) all go into calculating the monthly and annual averages, which, for temperatures, have been gradually increasing over the past 100 years.

"New record extreme events occur every year somewhere in the globe, but in recent years the number of such extremes have been increasing.

"According to recent climate-change scientific assessment reports of the joint WMO/United Nations Environmental Programme Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the global average surface temperature has increased since 1861. Over the 20th century the increase has been around 0.6C.

"New analyses of proxy data for the northern hemisphere indicate that the increase in temperature in the 20th century is likely to have been the largest in any century during the past 1,000 years."

While the trend towards warmer temperatures has been uneven over the past century, the trend since 1976 is roughly three times that for the whole period.

Global average land and sea surface temperatures in May 2003 were the second highest since records began in 1880. Considering land temperatures only, last May was the warmest on record.

It is possible that 2003 will be the hottest year ever recorded. The 10 hottest years in the 143-year-old global temperature record have now all been since 1990, with the three hottest being 1998, 2002 and 2001.

The unstable world of climate change has long been a prediction. Now, the WMO says, it is a reality.

... And Human Rights For All?
-----------------------------
By Arianna Huffington

With Saddam's weapons of mass destruction nowhere to be found, the president's Iraq talking points now center on the humanitarian upside of having ousted the Butcher of Baghdad. His speeches are liberally peppered with mentions of "mass graves," "torture chambers," and encomiums to "freeing the people of Iraq from the clutches of Saddam Hussein." He's all but doused himself in the sweet-smelling scent of human rights and put on an Amnesty International t-shirt.

But, OK, let's say we take the president at face value and buy his new argument that ending humanitarian crises through military force is good foreign policy. Then how can he justify embarking on his first trip to sub-Saharan Africa next week without including on his itinerary Congo and Liberia?

His five-day visit will include stops in Senegal, Botswana, Uganda, Nigeria, and South Africa -- but not the absurdly named Democratic Republic of Congo, site of what one African expert has labeled "the worst humanitarian situation on the entire face of the earth."

You'd think a president willing to send 200,000 U.S. troops to Iraq because of Saddam's mass graves might want to check out firsthand the 20 mass graves recently unearthed in the Congo, freshly filled with close to 1,000 victims of genocidal massacres. There's your causus belli right there -- that is, if there is any substance to this new Bush doctrine that evil dictators who abuse their own people must be deposed, by force if necessary, even if they pose no imminent threat to the United States.

But I guess the 3.3 million people who have died in the Congo since 1998 -- to say nothing of the horror stories of macheted infants, incinerated villages, and soldiers mutilating and even cannibalizing their victims -- are not enough to justify a second muscular application of the Bush human rights doctrine. They aren't even enough to motivate the president to squeeze a Congo stopover into his African schedule and bring some
much-needed international attention to this massive humanitarian crisis.

I'm not talking about making nice with dictators; I'm talking about using the power of his office to help stop the bloodshed.

He also won't be going to war-torn Liberia, a nation of 3 million with historical ties to America, where 200,000 people have been killed, a million more displaced, disease is running rampant, and beleaguered citizens are pleading with the United States to intervene.

After 700 people were massacred in a rebel attack on the capital city of Monrovia two weeks ago, African leaders called on President Bush to send in 2,000 U.S. troops as part of an international peace keeping force. Both the Pentagon and the State Department are in favor of such a move, but the White House has so far declined to expand its adventures in
dictator-eradication to Africa.

Of course, that hasn't stopped the president from paying lip service to alleviating the suffering going on there. Just last week he said: "We are determined to help the people of Liberia find the path to peace." But, apparently, not determined enough to go to the country himself to facilitate a ceasefire agreement between the warring factions.

Instead, he's dispatched 35 -- that's not a typo, "thirty-five" -- U.S. troops to the country, as he put it, "solely for the purpose of protecting American citizens and property." Wow, I bet Liberian President Charles Taylor is quaking in his jackboots. Taylor, whose murderous regime could teach Saddam a thing or two about torture and mass murder, was last month indicted for war crimes by a U.N. court

While trying to drum up outrage at Saddam earlier this year, the president catalogued a list of his atrocities, including mutilation and rape, and proclaimed: "If this is not evil, then evil has no meaning." But the president's fly-over of Africa's hearts of darkness, riven by mutilation and rape, shows that it's his humanitarian rhetoric that has no meaning.

Here is true evil, but next week will instead be dominated by a series of photo-ops with smiling children and platitudes about the virtues of democracy.

If more proof of the hypocritical selectivity of Bush's moral outrage were needed, look no further than the run-up to the invasion of Iraq, when, in the name of liberating the Iraqi people, the White House gladly linked arms with a host of countries its own State Department had castigated for significant human rights violations -- including Uzbekistan, Colombia, Georgia, Eritrea, Macedonia, Rwanda, Uganda, Ethiopia, Azerbaijan, and the Dominican Republic. Given these countries' dismal human rights record, maybe we should have called them the Coalition of the Willing to Torture, Execute, and Rape.

The suddenly fashionable humanitarian justification for the war in Iraq is nothing more than yet another White House deception designed to cloak the fact that the original justification -- Iraq as an imminent threat -- hasn't panned out.

Which is just too darn bad for the long-suffering souls of Congo and Liberia.
