Mobile Mast Torn Down

Billy Bunter | 05.08.2004 12:31 | Health | Repression | Technology | World

This is the sort of action that anyone interested in changing the world we live in for the better should be engaged in...what's to stop you? Tear down all the masts-forget about your phone- live a little- be uncontrollable for a while?

Another ghastly erection foiled in Donegal

Phone mast saga continues

At 6am on Wednesday the 28th of July a Garda 'Paddy wagon' accompanied a patrol car, 9 jeeps and a 30 foot trailer to the site of a longstanding standoff over the
Tamur mobile phone mast.

and capitalism came falling down...


Locals got wind of the sneaky tactics, designed to reinstall an O2 mobile phone mast, and blockaded both entrances to the site in question.

Mobile phone company 02 have twice been refused planning permission for the mast because of local health and environment factors. However, after much campaigning and absolutely no consultation, the mast was erected following approval by An Bord Plenala.

Soon after its erection the mast mysteriously was pulled down and this blockade
signals the latest in a controversy where locals refuse to bow to invisible profiteers
and their local helpers.

Well done!!

Well done!! Its great to be hearing increasing examples of communities taking their lives into their own hands and taking direct action against the powers that harm us. Thanks for inspiration folks, keep fighting.

Stu.


hey, why stop here?

05.08.2004 21:51

Why stop at mobile phone masts? You could go for telegraph poles too, and fight those nasty profit making telecoms companies. And after that - the world's your oyster. Blow up a few pylons to put up two fingers to electricity companies who turn out CO2. And slash the tyres of cars, so people can't burn petrol. And ... no, better stop here, people can take sarcasm literally.

Don't be surprised...

Howsya matey, I didn't think that most people reading this site would want to consider giving up any of their privileges... although th w*gs who give their blood for it are pretty romantic to look at... as if to confirm this, the urgent revolutionary talk on the IMC internal list is of 'producing a glossy pamphlet [on IMC] for media students'.

You miss the point yet again "Sceptic".

It's partly about health issues for sure but what people really object to is organisations flying in the face of public opinion. If the locals don't want the mast then why should it be forced on them? It's the same as the proposed asylum center in Bicester. Prescott doesn't give a hoot that the entire local village is up in arms about it. Of course he doesn't- it's a safe Tory seat anyway. In the case of Bicester, where there isn't a mast to tear down, the locals should simply rip Prescott's head off and display it on a stake.

More than this

This may be a multiple posting - I just doneanother one thqat went up real fast - but this one....
The problem is not just the inherent dangers of microwave beamed technologies for communications purposes, the alleged purpose of the masts, With various precautionary measures we could adapt to that. The so-called mobile mast network is fast expanding to something like 150,000 beamers, appearing on factories, fire stations, as huge ugly drum disc infested towers in residential and industrial estates, in long strings along urban motorways, those realatively recent spikey 'mobile' affairs that spring up in fields and on urban wasteland. From the simple single pole to the vast array, these always are accompanied by seemingly overlarge power units, if we were talking simple communications. Some of the bigger units are alleged to have additional underground power generation systems
The problems potentially arising are these:
The tunability of frequency generation - the masts are tunable to ELF frequenccies, able to control and disable populations, as well as direct 'voices in the head' messages into susceptible or targetted individuals. A recent Guardian Weekend article discussed these effects which are currently occurring. An added effect will be the imposition of the TETRA masts, openly ELF, which are being installed as the police communication network to produce an evermore zombiefied police force
The HAARP frequencies, operating in conjunction with the chemtrail-laying (hellfire - loon-alert) to produce global weather and tectonic effects
The global fascist state/individual communication and control system allowing trans signals to be sent between chipped ID cards/electronic tags/ most importantly subdermal microchips - a condition of ultimate control of individual emotion and behaviour

Pull 'em down sure. There are more safe, simple and effective ways of opposing this atrocity

learn a bit of physics

07.08.2004 14:25

you can't produce ELF on these sort of systems. Effective antennae should be at least a quarter of a wavelength. Extra Low Frequencies? Say 100Hz? The wavelength would be 3 x 10^6m,and the antenna needed 10^6m or 1000km.

Usual crap sceptic

I've seen these arrays for myself at Menwith and the Rugby submarine communication base
Tetra is openly ELF and will run with antennae on police stations

Yes indeed

08.08.2004 10:24

Menwith and Rugby do communicate with submarines. It's a difficult and expensive business. That's why only two were built. But how are you suggesting that an antenna in Rugby can control all the citizens in say London?

One of the snags of using low frequencies is that the amount of information you can carry is extremely limited. Go look up some more physics about rate of information transfer and carrier frequency. That's why microwaves are used for phone communications: they are extremely high frequency. High frequency implies small wavelength and hence small antenna. The drums you see on microwave towers are basically parabolic reflectors to produce a narrow focussed beam aimed at another tower, since microwaves are line of sight only.

sceptic


Tetra not ELF-based then

08.08.2004 20:53

Is that what you're saying?
Even though it is

TETRA

08.08.2004 22:11

reading yr links, no. It is a FM rather than AM signal, high frequency. The point the writer seems to have misunderstood is the pulsing. Most signals nowadays are digital, and you don't need to send continuously. Yr mobile phone will send bursts of pulses. This way you can fit more signals onto one frequency [multiplexing].

There may be long term effects to this, but no more than with say mobile phones. They've been around some time, and no ill effects have been reported.

Dangerous Radiation From Hidden Cell Phone Towers

11.08.2004 08:10

Please see the following article for further details:

 http://www.rense.com/general56/rad.htm

MORE ABOUT CELL PHONES

When you turn your cell phone on, the cell phone company carrier you have uses a computer network connected to all the cell towers, to invisibly command your phone to change to an available frequency. This is why numerous people can talk in a given cell phone area and not hear one another. When a cell phone is on, it transmits frequently to notify the phone company it is actually on. As you walk or drive, the cell system determines signal strength and switches you connection to another tower near you. Even when you are not talking, the phone can still radiate energy. If you have it in your shirt or pants pocket or on your belt, body tissues around the antenna on the phone are being irradiated with RF energy. This is an inescapable fact.

Since this is a multi-billion dollar industry, it's very unlikely the public will be told about the health hazards of cell phones. This is about as likely as the public being properly informed about microwave oven risks. As you read on, you'll see the similarities between the two microwave based technologies.

An interesting and easy direct action technique would be to use a helium filled child's balloon. A balloon made from silvered plastic would be the kind you want. Attach the balloon to the mast by a length of string long enough so the balloon hovers nicely just next to the transmitter.

Retire to a safe distance and chuckle to see the service crew arrive to remove the balloon. Repeat as required.

Mobile companies are the daddies now. Everybody is afraid of them.

Good, I'm glad to hear people have a brain after all. I was starting to wonder. This restores my faith in humanity (a little). I got my brain fried badly these last few nights, because I repositioned my bed nearer the window. I can't go anywhere in my house without being beaten at by microwaves. I wasn't given a brain to have it fried. I have better things to do than to die slowly. I am still too young for that. How can microwaves not be dangerous to the human body? That is self-evidential nonsense. So there is no 'proof' they are dangerous? Good!!! I don't need 'proof' that what cooks meat will hurt the human body, do you? When your brain cells are dead, they will not repair. I see too many people drooping about, looking at the ground, brains fried by masts and mobiles. You must all do what seems coherent with your reason and common sense.

All the best.......

A concerned person who wishes to remain nameless.
