3G and 4G Danger from Cell Phones / Towers

G stands for generation, but the safety guidelines refer to Gigahertz, 1,000 MHz

You refer to uw?

2G phones ......

2G means frequency of 900 MHz devices but at < 1 watt.
Typical microwave oven has 915 MHz but over 1000 watt power. Power comes from bandwidth?
Problem is cumulative and you don't rotate your head safely if using phone.

900 MHz is below dangerous level of 3,000 MHz as set forth by Health Canada and Industry
Canada

Problem? It has to do with studies at 900 MHz which operate at wider bandwidth than tested!
Are digitally pulsed!
And continuous day and night?
2 hours a day adds up, and means that after 1000 days equivalent to putting head in microwave? Say 5 years, then that's well over sticking head in microwave, but cells cool down ... Get tanned rather than burned, though some people will get a very dark tan inside their head!?

3G phones .........

3G means frequency of 1,900 MHz so twice as much exposure to internal tanning and less cooling down, but temptation to go beyond 2 hours towards 12 hours and age group is teenagers who are more vulnerable. Henritta Nittby studies come into play and blood brain barrier is breached leading to all sorts of health issues beyond an internal tanning of the brain. Government guidelines are pretty useless! Keep such phones well away from babies or you get serious health issues emerging?

4G phones ....

4G ... Well movie watching people are really buggered and out on a limb, saw, saw, crack ........

Issues?

We really need to pin this language and measurement down and standardise it or the confusion will turn everyone off!

As people would say, 2,000 megahertz is well within the Canadian published safety guidelines.
Are you willing to trust cronyist industry and government with your brain? Wow? What if you get cancer or dementia from alzheimer's then it won't matter much?

http://www.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/smt-gst.nsf/eng/sf08792.html.

Also, why don't you have a frequency measurement unit capable of going up to 4,000 MHz?

Do you measure other indicators: bandwidth, frequency, and power wattage? What increases wattage?

Confusion:

Result is that everything is fine and dandy because Industry Canada and Health Canada says so!
Do people really get to grips with the math?

Radiation levels on the beach in Grand Bend


Subject: Radiation levels on the beach in Grand Bend


Hello,

I would like to share with you the videos I took at the main beach in Grand Bend today.  Both are on you-tube.  I plan on adding more videos from the area so people can see what the radiation levels are from the existing towers, and then hopefully people will choose to support trying to get a moratorium on further towers in the area including trying to stop the one in Southcott from going in. 



If you have any other places you think would be useful to measure please let me know and I will try and get out to do it when I can. 

Thanks and have a good week, Melissa

Hi Melissa!

Thank you for your work despite the pain and risk to your health!  I just received the B. Blake Levitt proceedings of the "Cell Towers Forum" State of the Science / State of the Law ... Cell Towers -- "Wireless Convenience? Or Environmental Hazard?"

----->other than the paultry efforts mentioned above, there is virtually no scientific enquiry in the US into the safety of chronic, low level RF exposures aside from what other countries contribute"
Canada presently does not have serious CNRC studies on the subject matter apart from safety in the workplace?

If the study is done by industry, it is likely to be biased, which is why any studies done hide their sponsorship knowing full well the designs of the studies are a farce intended to obfuscate serious work in other countries!
This is like thalidomide in its early days of use in the US. As the deformities in babies grew in numbers, the therapeutic industry finally had to take note, but no action occured before all the DNA deformities! 

"Damn their eyes?" to quote an old sea phrase!

Cell coverage is good in Grand Bend, so do we need more radiation so we can watch live TV on our phone?  Doesn't everyone here have a TV in their home already?  I was also informed the bandwidth runs out on the long weekends because the server needs to be replaced, not because there aren't enough towers.  There are already 3 Bell towers alone in Grand Bend, plus one Rogers tower. 

If you have any other places you think would be useful to measure please let me know and I will try and get out to do it when I can or have someone else do it.  I am electro-sensitive myself and certainly paying for being on the beach at all yesterday making these videos, but it is worth it if it protects our neighbourhood.  That's why I might send someone else out to do the filming in the future. 

Thanks and have a good week, Melissa Chalmers





You can also go to you tube and type in LakeshoreCoalition to find the channel with the videos.  There will be more, so please refer back to it occasionally.
PS.  Port Franks is holding a musical jamboree this Sunday to support the effort to stop these towers in Lambton Shores and to make Port Franks a White Zone.  If you care to join us, the address is 7503 Dune Drive.  The event starts at noon and goes until 10 pm.  Bring yourself, your family and your acoustic instrument.  Musicians from the area are coming along and hopefully ones from Elgin County as well.  Hope to see you there!!!

The Strench of Crony Capitalism Across the Street from Where I Live in Grand Bend, Ontario

"Kincardine Beach"

The Strench of Crony Capitalism Across the Street from Where I Live in Grand Bend

It is four o'clock in the morning and I should be sound asleep. Instead, I have awoken to a full fledged nightmare, the reality of which dwarfs my happy memories of the Hollywood production with James Stewart and Donna Reed of It's a Wonderful Life. No it isn't. It's a world in which corruption succeeds because it is sponsored by a federal Canadian government gone wild, breaking all the rules of human decency and humanity. Overruling thevwisdom of the local community, the feds can't even see the permanent damage they do to once happy communities. The feds are deeply steeped on crony capitalism, and "blast their eyes."
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0038650/

It's the stuff of movies and yet here I am in the middle of it. Why me? Why is this nightmare all around me?

To understand my predicament, imagine a world of cooperation and decency in which good wins over evil and we have a happy Christmas like story of people in a happy world with a community thriving and kids developing into happy citizens inspired by the beauty and moral coherence of what they experience in life and in the wonderful Christian like support systems around them.  This is the story where James Stewart opens a community bank and manages it as a cooperative and the people are free of corruption. The horrible descent into the hell holes of capitalistic greed do not occur because of the community saving and banking instrument that James Stewart manages, becomes, personifies. It is a decent picture of capitalism in which development progresses in the directions it is supposed to. A visitation by an angel of mercy champions the actual forces of good over evil. And, the wicked town tycoon has no room to enslave the town people into a world of misery and dependence.  The movie shows a willing public that there are community choices. 

How does this go down in real life? Well, the community exists, but the people make the wrong choices and death and destruction follow, not the ahppy Hollywood movie ending. Our reality is one of deep corruption seeping into the very guts of a community and spoiling futures in more ways than I can count. It's the harsh cruel nasty side of capitalism in Canada and it is sponsored by a federal government gine wild through it's agencies such as Industry Canada. It's not a pretty picture. It's a war zone of future misery for kids that will get cancer and parents that will wonder what they did wrong.

If you go down the wrong path of economic development you end up in hell with corruption and a miserable all around you in which the distribution of power and income is skewed in favour of the few, or foreignors, and the majority of citizens have no scope for participation, are eternally in debt and beholden to the wicked paymasters of the ugly side of capitalism. You don't know you are in hell! Not only is the economics of the community disfunctional, the community cannot support the many systems that are needed to make it happy and thriving. Taxes are excessive and people miserable. Children want to leave for a better life and no one remains to develop the small community. It's not possible to be honest and say that such a world is desirable for the community at large. One should be and needs to be enraged at the likely outcomes across Canada of crony capitalism and corruption.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crony_capitalism






"Crony capitalism is a term describing an economy in which success in business depends on close relationships between business people and government officials. It may be exhibited by favoritism in the distribution of legal permits, government grants, special tax breaks, or other forms of dirigisme[1] Crony capitalism is believed to arise when political cronyism spills over into the business world; self-serving friendships and family ties between businessmen and the government influence the economy and society to the extent that it corrupts public-serving economic and political ideals.
The term "crony capitalism" made a significant impact in the public arena as an explanation of the Asian financial crisis.[2]"

Yes! Crony capitalism is now the Canadian way it would seem.

However, what if no one cares and can't see that living hell is actually wrong, that kids should have playgrounds and get out of doors to play and have fun. The obvious sign of a healthy community is a playground full of safe happy children in a park with mothers smiling and cheerful, kids running, jumping, climbing, skipping and joyful. That is the model of an aspect of suceess of a community. That's why our soldiers faught and died in the great and lessor wars. That's the ideal that we strive for. We want that park, the happy mothers, the playful kids, the tiny animals burying nuts and chipmunks laughing from tall trees. We want the canopy of support systems that grow and develop a community, make it spontaneous, humourous and cheerful.

So where's the nightmare that I was woken up by. I call it crony capitalism, a world in which greed and selfishness reigns, a world that is disfunctional at the community level. Where do I see it happening? Surprisingly, enough its happening right across the street from where I live in Grand Bend, Ontario. Yes! Would you believe that corruption and cronyism have hit Grand Bend in full force destroying the community. Well, it has and it's giving me this nightmare. It's why at four o'clock in the morning, I can't sleep. James Stewart is in my brain telling me that the direction my community is heading is really bad and very wrong. It tells me that corruption is happening and corruption is wrong and destructive.

So what happens is the transfer of local power to a mysterious god like creation called the federal government of Canada which has a highly corrupting agency called Industry Canada.

Read for yourself in a letter to my neighbour from Bell, the phone people, the big industry nightmare creators, the crony bank in my community. Bell get's its money through extraordinarily cheap loans from a corrupt system of banking finance. It uses these loans to destroy communities at the grass roots. Instead of kids in parks we have kids in basements on 4g devices getting cancer with a lag. No joy in the park, just quiet addicted kids and parents who don't have a hope in hell of achieving a healthy life style. Instead of joyful sport we get couch potatoes.

Read and learn what is happening. The site is a kiddies park across the street to become an industrial site in a residential community all because government corruption from Ottawa Canada  and Bell reaches into Grand Bend to destroy a community using tax payers money, yet blind to its own destructive force both in the long a short term.

Dear ....

This refers to your recent email / letter regarding Bell’s proposed tower site located at 10246 Lakeview Avenue, Grand Bend, ON (Site No. W4336).
The exponential growth in demand for wireless broadband services requires Bell to continually upgrade our network to meet coverage and capacity requirements. The site in question is one of many that Bell has installed to meet demand in this area. With this site, Bell is confident that residents and businesses, as well as community, public and safety services, will be better served.

The federal government has exclusive jurisdiction over radio communications and telecommunications. In the case of wireless communications, Industry Canada governs how wireless carriers consult with land use authorities with regard to antenna systems (Client Policy Circular CPC-2-0-03).

This policy identifies a number of circumstances under which carriers are excluded from any requirement to consult with land use authorities, including for modification of an existing antenna system if it does not result in an overall height increase of 25% above the existing structure’s original height. These exclusions are specifically intended to encourage the identification and maximization of low-impact sites already in use, such as the existing structure at the Lakeview Avenue site. As the replacement of the existing 45 metre guyed tower with a 56 metre self-supporting tower is fully compliant with Industry Canada’s exclusion criteria under its tower siting policy, Bell intends to proceed with replacing the tower at Lakeview Avenue.

With respect to your concerns regarding health issues, Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 sets the exposure standard for all mobile phones, base stations, Wi-Fi and other radio communications emitting infrastructure in Canada. Industry Canada has made compliance with Safety Code 6 a condition of licence for all Canadian wireless carriers. As such, Bell Mobility will ensure that the Lakeview Avenue site will be fully compliant with the requirements of Safety Code 6. Indeed, as required by Industry Canada, calculations carried out prior to the site being constructed show emissions from this site to be 100 times less than the allowable limit in Safety Code 6.

As a responsible Canadian company, Bell will meet or exceed all Industry Canada and Health Canada requirements for this site. Given the above, Bell intends to proceed with its plans at the site. If you require further information about this matter, please contact Keith Ranney at xxxxxx.xxxx@bell.ca.

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
