Wi-Fi Lawsuit Against Portland Schools Dismissed by Federal Judge

Not good news, however the plaintiff intends to appeal the decision.  Following the article is a summary of expert testimony given by Barrie Trower and Dr. David Carpenter, part of an article recently published in the Iowa Source, "Wi-Fi Damages Sperm, Harms Health".

 Wi-Fi Lawsuit Against Portland Schools Dismissed by Federal Judge

by Helen Jung, published 20 July 2012 in The Oregonian

A federal judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit seeking to force Portland Public Schools to remove Wi-Fi installations from its schools.

The lawsuit, filed last year by Southeast Portland parent David Mark Morrison, argued that Wi-Fi exposes children to unacceptable levels of radiation over prolonged periods of time and impacts their health.

But U.S. District Judge Michael Mosman found that the lawsuit, while aimed at Portland Public Schools, also challenges the safety standards set by the Federal Communications Commission. The radiation levels emitted by its Wi-Fi networks are below the limits established by the FCC, Portland Public Schools argued.

Harmful Effects of GSM Waves Demonstrated on Ants and Protozoa

Thank you to Teslabel for the following Press Release, which was originally published on their site in French. (www.teslabel.be)  Original article in French.

Harmful Effects of GSM Waves Demonstrated on Ants and Protozoa

A first in Belgium: Studies conducted at the Université Libre de Bruxelles show clearly that GSM waves affect the memory and response to pheromones in ant colonies, and that they worsen the motility of cell membranes of protozoa.

(Brussels - 11/07/12) Hide this truth that I would not like to see … Anything to discredit these alarmist studies which prevent me from calling in peace. Reassure me. Tell me that all this is exaggerated and doesn’t concern me … - Such is the substance of the unspoken reaction of each person who continues to not want to face up to reality and refuses to take into account the progress of independent research.

In Belgium in 2008, the results of a doctoral thesis at the UCL were disclosed which had shown that rats chronically exposed to a weak level of microwaves lost memory and died prematurely. [1]

This time, a research team at ULB turned towards ant societies and single-celled organisms to study the effects of micro-waves from telecommunications on the living.

Important Legal Issues for Telecom Companies to Address in the Near Future: Motorola

A series of posts are being issued on recent filings from major telecommunications companies with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange are required to list all known business risks for their investors. The following extracts are from the 10-K annual reports of these companies -- the 10-K "provides a comprehensive overview of the company for the past year". Thank you to Artists Against Wi-Fi for this information.

Following is the filing of Motorola including legal proceedings.

Damages cited in these proceedings include:
- failure to incorporate a remote headset into cellular phones or warning against using a phone without a headset rendered the phones defective by exposing users to alleged biological injury and health risks
- use of a cellular phone caused a malignant brain tumor
-  defendants provided false and misleading information about cell phones or omitted to disclose material information
- defendants failed to disclose the alleged "debate" related to the safety of wireless phones reflected in studies that allegedly show wireless phones can cause harm. 

Some of the plaintiffs are seeking damages of up to $100 million.

Electrosensitivity Symptoms Can Be Eliminated in 60% of People and Significantly Reduced in the Rest - Interview by André Fauteux with Dr. Brian Clement, Naturopath

Excellent article on how to reduce or eliminate electrosensitivity symptoms: interview by André Fauteux, Editor and Publisher of Maison du 21ème siècle, with Dr. Brian Clement, naturopath, Hippocrates Institute (20 July 2012).  When Mr. Fauteux asked Dr. Clement what it would take to wake people up, he replied, "we need to be aware of the increasing incidence of environmental illness.  What I most fear is that today, the sickest people I treat are the youngest."

Dr. Brian Clement

Electrosensitivity symptoms can be eliminated in 60% of people and significantly reduced in the rest – Dr. Brian Clement

 A naturopath who holds a doctorate in nutrition, Brian Clement says he has successfully treated more than 4,000 electrohypersensitive people at the Hippocrates Institute which he heads. Founded in Boston in 1956 by nutritionist Ann Wigmore and now based in Florida, the Institute is one of the world’s most renowned natural health centers. Tens of thousands of people have seen their health improve after adopting its healthy lifestyle program and discovering the virtues of raw food cures (germinations, sprouts and their juices). Here is the fascinating telephone interview he granted us in January 2012.

Electromagnetic Fields: High-Level Microwave Technology Concerns

Plant deformed by cell phone
tower radiation fields.

In this fairly recent document, Dr. Andrew Michrowski describes the effects of wireless technologies such as corrosion problems (associated with building structures, water, oil and gas pipelines, fluid containers), impact on agriculture and livestock, and mutation of diseases into new strains.  He also explains the potential link between these technologies and autism.  Following are excerpts from the document.  The full document is available at http://media.withtank.com/42391c31ef.pdf .

Dr. Michrowski is President of the Ottawa-based Planetary Association for Clean Energy Incorporated, an international, interdisciplinary scientific society, concerned with such issues as: electromagnetic pollution, advanced clean energy technologies, ozone depletion, climatic changes and reutilization of waste biomass.

Corrosion problems

"There has been a significant increase in corrosion problems in the last few decades, parallel to the spread and implementation of wireless technologies. Whereas in the 1970s, only a small number of engineers consulted on corrosion problems, now a full quarter of all engineers in North America are experts in corrosion trying to resolve problems associated with building structures, water and oil and gas pipelines, fluid containers.

Important Legal Issues for Telecom Companies to Address in the Near Future: Verizon and Sprint Nextel

A series of posts will be issued on recent filings from major telecommunications companies with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. Companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange are required to list all known business risks for their investors. The following extracts are from the 10-K annual reports of these companies -- the 10-K "provides a comprehensive overview of the company for the past year". Thank you to Artists Against Wi-Fi for this information.

Following are the filings of Verizon and Sprint Nextel.

VERIZON:
We are subject to a significant amount of litigation, which could require us to pay significant damages or settlements.
Our business faces a substantial amount of litigation, including, from time to time, patent infringement lawsuits, antitrust class actions, wage and hour class actions, personal injury claims and lawsuits relating to our advertising, sales, billing and collection practices.
In addition, our wireless business also faces personal injury and consumer class action lawsuits relating to alleged health effects of wireless phones or radio frequency transmitters, and class action lawsuits that challenge marketing practices and disclosures relating to alleged adverse health effects of handheld wireless phones. We may incur significant expenses in defending these lawsuits. In addition, we may be required to pay significant awards or settlements. 

Sense of Smell and Sight Perturbed in Ants Exposed to GSM Radiation: Study at Université Libre, Brussels

The European editors of two international journals refused to publish this Belgian study which shows serious perturbations in the olfactory and visual memories of ants exposed to electromagnetic radiation similar to that surrounding GSM and communication masts. The American journal, “Electromagnetic Biology and Medicine” accepted the study for publication in June 2012. Thank you to Teslabel for this information (www.teslabel.be).  Original article in French. “These communication waves may have such a disastrous impact on a wide range of insects using olfactory and/or visual memory, e.g., on bees.” Following is the abstract of the article. GSM 900 MHz radiation inhibits ants' association between food sites and encountered cues.

Interview with Barrie Trower, Microwave Expert: Part 9 - You can't take the mobile industry to court because it is too powerful

You can’t take the mobile industry to court because it is too powerful.

“Insurance companies started putting in policies if your illness can be linked to electromagnetic fields, there is no coverage.  Lloyds started that in 2000-2001, followed by SwissRe.  Private health insurance has also put this in their policies now. 

“This is why I think when we get to court in America and children are already getting sick from this and there’s no insurance and you are the decision-maker, I’ll take you to court and have your house and car and land and you don’t realize that.  We have a case here where a farmer is being sued for 5.2 million pounds when he had a transmitter put up on his farm and it made people ill in the surrounding houses.  There is another one where councilors followed the law and we had leukemia clusters around a transmitter.  The councilors are being taken to court and there’s no insurance.  If these people lose, they lose everything they stood for.

“Same case in America.  If the school is found guilty, the school insurance won’t touch it and it’ll be the people who signed the document and authorized the Wi-Fi.  They’ll be sued and lose everything.

Interview with Barrie Trower, Microwave Expert: Part 8 - This is the first generation of children who will die before their parents

In 2003, Leif Salford conducted studies on the blood-brain barrier (BBB).  When he came out with the results, he said “it’s the biggest biological experiment on living organisms and human beings ever.  Stress is a very profitable market, and stress and depression will become the biggest causes of illness.”

Julius remarked that he has been trying to wake up people about burnout, stress and depression because he’s seen the increase coming along with all the new technologies on the market.  Most people are in a chronic stress situation due to microwaves.

“The blood-brain barrier,” says Trower, “is like a fishing net around the brain and it’s full of small holes.  It has no joint and it takes about a year and a half to form in a baby.  The same material is around other organs in the body and what it does in the brain is to allow all the things that have to come in and out of the brain.  It allows the toxins and poisons out and the good bits in.  It keeps the toxins in the blood out and keeps them from poisoning the brain.

“When microwaves come across this, they weaken this and the holes get bigger.  So now you have toxins in the body going into the brain and other organs and that can lead to all sorts of neurological and pathological diseases. 

Health Issues of Wireless Technology in Schools

For parents concerned about their children and for teachers being exposed to wireless technology in schools, this information on health issues from Wi-Fi in Schools is excellent.

Health Issues for Schools 

Schools are under pressure

Schools are in a difficult position as they are under pressure to incorporate ICT (information and communication technology) more fully into the curriculum.  They are being encouraged to consider Wi-Fi due to the ease of installation and the money saved as a result.  The idea that children and staff can use computers at any time and anywhere on the school grounds is an attractive one.  But this is only attractive if the technology is safe.  Schools need to weigh up the risks from wireless technologies suggested in the scientific literature, the calls for action made by the European Environment Agency, International Commission for Electromagnetic Safety, the Bio-Initiative report and others and address the concerns of parents and staff.  Are the educational advantages of wireless computers over similar wired-up ones worth the potential effects on health and development?

Schools need to be safe places for children and young people and provide safe working conditions for their staff.

Interview with Barrie Trower, Microwave Expert: Part 7 - Children are deliberately being experimented on and killed

Children are deliberately being experimented on and killed

Julius remarks that in 1993, he had a mobile phone and whenever he passed a tower it made a noise.  He said to himself, this isn’t right.  “Since then, every time I see a mobile tower, the word Nazi comes to mind.”

“I’ve read interpretations of documents going back to hundreds of years B.C. – the Tibetan Book of the Dead, the Egyptian Book of the Dead, Ptolemy, right up until today,” says Trower.  “The only time in history other than now that I’ve read of children being deliberately experimented upon and killed was Dr. Joseph Mengele at Auschwitz.  Until today.  We are probably the 40,000^th generation of human beings and this is the first time I’ve known of a worldwide study on children for autism, miscarriages, bone cancer, leukemia, all the things they’re getting.  This is the first time in the history of the human race that children are being deliberately experimented on without parents’ consent, where parents have been lied to, without the children’s consent.

Professor Luc Montagnier Explains the Action of Electromagnetic Fields on the DNA of Viruses and Bacteria (including Lyme Disease)

Contrary to dominant medical thought, Professor Luc Montagnier, 2008 Nobel Laureate in medicine, is convinced that Lyme disease can degenerate into a chronic infection and that it must be taken seriously.  View this 10-minute video, from March 2012, where he also talks about the importance of devoting more resources to prevention in maintaining health (as opposed to treatment).

Lyme disease is the most common tick-borne disease in North America and Europe, and one of the fastest-growing infectious diseases in the United States.  According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) there were some 22,500 reported cases in the United States in 2010.

In an article published in Interdisciplinary Sciences, 2009, vol.2, Prof. Montagnier explains that ambient electromagnetic radiation can set off the emission of electromagnetic waves by infectious DNA agents, viruses and bacteria present in the human body and could thus contribute to their pathological action:

Interview with Barrie Trower, Microwave Expert: Part 6 - Children and teachers are getting sick from mobile phone transmitters and Wi-Fi in schools

Children and teachers are getting sick from mobile phone transmitters and Wi-Fi in schools.

Julius refers to an article about headaches and children from 2003, another about teachers in Denmark who had to take medication to manage the pain.  “This will be the biggest health scandal ever if we don’t wake up and use our common sense,” he said.  He wrote to the Danish teachers’ union and told them this is very important.  They could get up to 60,000 teachers in Denmark and all the schools by pushing one person.  “It’s so important because it’s our children and our future.  Their response was ‘it’s not our responsibility’.”  Julius replied, that it wasn’t his, that it was our responsibility because it’s our future.  “What is the toughest thing you can say to (influence) the teacher’s union because it’s so important that they understand this?” he asks Trower.

We are even radiating our children
with Wi-Fi on school buses

“When you have a transmitter in the school, different things happen, basically, headaches.” replies Trower.  “This is published.  The blood vessels in the brain constrict.  That will cause headaches and migraine.  The histamine levels in the body go up which basically puts the body into shock.  The shock proteins go up.  All of this is measurable.  That causes all the cellular structures in the body not to act properly.  The nighttime melatonin goes down which means the immune system is not functioning properly.

“A proper international survey was carried out in France, Spain and Germany.  They found that where a transmitter was near or in a school, there were in this case 138 cancer clusters which involved miscarriages in teachers, breast cancer in teachers, depression, sleep disorders in teachers.  This was a proper study.  In some cases, mayors, people of authority, actually ordered the transmitters to be turned off and taken down.

Interview with Barrie Trower, Microwave Expert: Part 5 - "Every single living thing on this planet is affected by microwaves"

Julius says when people become so influenced and lose their vital energy, they become automatically afraid and cannot take action.  They are all indebted –“ two incomes because the houses have gotten bigger and people have become more materialistic.  In these times of recession, these people have the power because the others are afraid of being sacked.”  Julius has written many many letters and asks how the persons they are addressed to could ignore them when they mention it’s about children and future generations. Because they need their money?

Every single living thing on this planet is affected by microwaves.

Trower reminds him that every living thing is concerned:  birth defects and genetic defects:  life in the oceans, plants, trees, animals.  Even slime mold in the soil because the DNA is all the same.  “Every single living thing on this planet is affected by microwaves.  What confuses me is that these people have to live here.  Do they actually know what they’re doing?  What’s the point of ruining a planet when you’ve got to live on it?”

Julius replies, “They are not connected to God… They have a sick mind-set.  We’re living in a psychopathic control grip society and most of the people are tough.  They are psychopaths and cold-blooded.  They will kill you and me because they have no empathy.”

Interview with Barrie Trower, Microwave Expert: Part 4 - "The biggest polluter on the planet is the microwave industry"

Who benefits from people becoming sick?  Pharmaceutical and communications companies are the only industries which will benefit and the countries they are based in.  Julius says it looks like populations are being run down and dying.  “It’s called a slow kill and is part of de-population.”  What would be better than having a smaller population totally under your control?  A research director at the CIA said in 1972 “mind control is a world where every human thought, every emotion, every observation and every need can be controlled by electrical stimulation of the brain.”

While in Australia, Trower was whisked off in a black stretch limousine (thinking, this was “the bullet to the head”) to talk to a man who told him, “I’m very scared.  We’ve reached the situation now where HAARP can reach anywhere in the world.  We now have bacteria, which can lie dormant in the soil for centuries and can be reactivated.  The bacteria can be regenerated with the frequency of light.”  It has been known when gravediggers accidentally expose a very old body which has had the plague, the light will reactivate the bacteria and contaminate the gravedigger.  

Government scientists have developed frequencies that can regenerate bacteria from its dormant state into its live state.  If one wants to cause a disease in a country’s cattle, all he has to do is come to some of its farms, walk on the land, drop the bacteria and return to his country.  The frequency can be bounced from HAARP around the planet or towers may be used.  The bacteria are reactivated and cause a disease like mad cow.  A country’s economic value can be destroyed at the push of a button. It can get even worse because inside dormant bacteria, there may be a dormant virus and when the bacteria come to life, the virus will come to life.

Interview with Barrie Trower, Microwave Expert: Part 3 - The mobile industry is sowing doubt and misinformation

Western governments must not be strict with safety levels because it will affect what the military want to do and also affect industrial profit.

Using TETRA

Trower talks about the different safety levels, ones held by the Russians and some other countries.  They study how the waves interact with living cells at very low levels.  If you have a safety level based on that, then in terms of units – a “safe level” is about 0.2 (one fifth) of a unit.  Up until last year, the United Kingdom allowed 10,000 units. 

“We’ve probably just gotten rid of the most corrupt government ever (UK Government),” says Trower.  “The last thing they did was to give the mobile industry permission to triple the amount of power.  For TETRA, they actually made a petition to the Government to have absolutely no safety level at all, no limit.”  Julius adds that in February 2011, the Danish Government agreed that the country should have 100% current indoors and outdoors within a year.

Interview with Barrie Trower, Microwave Expert: Part 2 - "The mobile industry is the most powerful on the planet"

Sending pulses into people’s brains causes neurological and physiological symptoms.

“You can send pulses into people’s brains from any mobile tower.  There are around 35 different pulses that I know of that can cause maybe 50 different neurological and physiological symptoms.  You can cause sexual aggression in men, suicidal tendencies, depression.  You can interfere with the circadian rhythm of the eye and affect vision, the natural rhythm of the heart.  You can make any part of the body virtually become ill and all of the mental processes.

“A paper was published during the Cold War and now released under the Freedom of Information Act which said you could even fool psychiatrists by inducing paranoia, schizophrenia and other behavioral patterns just by microwave radiation…

“You can induce somebody not to think properly.  This is quite a successful weapon.  There is only one device available on the market today that matches the frequency of the brain and that is called a cellular phone.”

Environmental Poisoning of Bees in Switzerland

The Swiss advocacy group, Association romande alerte aux ondes électromagnétiques (www.alerte.ch) has posted on its site, a model letter enabling beekeepers in the French-speaking part of Switzerland to file a criminal complaint addressed to the investigating judge (juge d'instruction) against persons unknown for the keepers’ loss of bee colonies.  See article in full here in French.
The English translation of the full text follows:

Re : Loss of bee colonies during the 2011-2012 winter

Madam, Sir :

Two years ago, I hesitated to file a complaint relating to the very important losses of hives during the 2009-2010 winter (11 out of 18 colonies). I did not do this, because I had attributed it to the capriciousness of the weather or the pressure of varroa mites on my bee colonies, which nevertheless had been treated correctly against this parasite.

This spring (2012), I noticed that I lost 14 out of 18 hives at my apiary in ….. (VD). Such a level of loss is itself unacceptable. I have been practicing apiculture since 1986 and I cannot say that I have ever known comparable losses.

Interview with Barrie Trower, Microwave Expert: Part 1 - "We are destroying many successive generations just by having Wi-Fi in schools"

Barrie Trower, former Cold War scientist trained in all aspects of microwave technology, explains the severe danger facing all living things on planet Earth due to the out-of-control advancement of the telecommunications industry.  He received training from the Royal Navy beginning in 1960, working with both the underwater bomb disposal unit and microwave weapons.  In the 1970’s, a part of his job was to debrief spies trained in microwave warfare.  His first degree is in Physics (specializing in microwaves), his second degree is a research degree.  He has a teaching diploma in human physiology, and teaches advanced physics and mathematics at South Dartmoor College.  He is author of the TETRA Report for the Police Federation.  “I predicted the illnesses which the officers now complain of,” he says.  “These are illnesses that occurred before my report was published and cannot be psychosomatic.”  People need to know the dangers of microwave radiation.

Trower is one of the expert witnesses for the plaintiffs, a parent and a child, in the on-going case against the Oregon Public School System for installing a Wi-Fi infrastructure throughout the school system, violating the parent's right to choice as set forth in the 14th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. 

On 13-14 December 2011, Danish documentary filmmaker and journalist Morten Julius conducted an interview with Barrie Trower about microwave dangers, nos. 976 to 985, which can be seen on Vimeo (143 mn)  and ten 12-minute videos on YouTube, nos. 986 to 995.  The following is a résumé of this interview in several parts.
