Remember when there were no cellphones?
By Don Harkins
As her friend and editor for over a decade now, I have gown alongside Amy in her research on chemtrails, depleted uranium and radiation. There is zero doubt in our hearts and minds that Amy’s references are sound, her interpretation of data flawless and her intentions purely honorable and compassionate.
That means use of cell phones, WiFi, WiMax and RFID is not only suicide, but complicity in a "slow burn" form of mass murder. If second-hand cigarette smoke bothers you, how does it compare to second hand radiation? Well, it doesn’t. Using a cell phone in proximity to others only increases the intensity of the ambient levels of radiation that are omnipresent to support wireless personal communication networks. Where nonsmokers can remove themselves or the smoker from the room, noncellphoneusers (one word) cannot escape radiation by going to another room. In other words, everyone is bathing in dangerous levels of cellphone "smoke" whether you are "smoking" or not.
When the wireless age was growing in earnest in the late 90s, people kept telling Ingri and I, "You really need to get cell phones—they are so convenient."
We opted not to for the same reason we have never acquired a laptop computer: If we are away from our desk that means we are (temporarily) FREE!—free of the phone and free of the computer.
The next stage, by the early 00s, people began saying to us, "Don, Ingri, you really need to get cell phones so it will be more convenient for us to get ahold of you."
Now, when the subject of our having resisted carrying cell phones to this point comes up in conversation, people say, "You are so lucky."
It’s not luck—we just didn’t like the idea of being "on call" all the time and our lifestyles just didn’t evolve to include cell phones. We have only known for a couple years how deadly they are.
But, for cellphoneusers (one word), the novelty of cell phones has been replaced with addiction and the convenience has been replaced with enslavement. In that sense, we are lucky.
The three following comments represent the most common justifications people recite for using cell phones:
"But with my job, I have to have one."
"They are handy in an emergency."
"This way, the kids (the wife/husband/friends/business contacts) can always get ahold of me."
But consider these responses from noncellphoneusers:
"Is your job worth irradiating yourself and the world around you?"
"What did you do in an emergency BC (that’s "before cell phones")?"
"Are you sure that you are so darned important that you can’t just have people leave a message on a land line recorder and check messages now and then?"
And one bonus retort: "If an industry is using your addiction to wireless toys as a means to finance the erection of a communications infrustructure that intends to control all life on earth en route to destroying it, should you choose to buy its services?"
The truth is you can do your job without a cell phone—or find another one.
You can prepare in advance for emergencies like we used to.
And, it is true, we aren’t so important that people can’t wait a few minutes or a few hours to talk to us. (DWH)

Conclusion
America must soon face its radiation cataclysm. The EMR Network says that millions of workers occupy worksites on a daily basis where operating antenna arrays are camouflaged and where no RF safety program is carried out. Thanks to shameless predatory advertising techniques, American youth are now literally addicted to "texting," watching TV and accessing the Internet on tiny wireless screens. These are the toys that keep cell towers and WiFi hot spots buzzing. A nation that requires compulsory mass irradiation to fuel its trivial entertainment needs is surely destined to have a sickly and short-lived population.
Right now, 11.7 million Americans have been diagnosed with cancer. Because humans can harbor cancer conditions for years before detection, additional millions of cancer victims are yet undiagnosed. The Journal of Oncology Practice predicts that, by 2020, there will be so many cancer cases in the U.S. that doctors may not be able to cope with their caseloads. The report concludes the nation could soon face a shortage of up to 4,000 cancer specialists.38
A recent CBS news series on the raging American cancer epidemic left viewers with the mindset that trainloads of federal cash must flow if we are to find the cancer answer. But the cancer cause now inundates our cities, roadways, schools, offices and homes. Any environmental stressor that jackhammers human cells at millions to billions of cycles per second is a cancer factor. Any wave-pollution that breaks the DNA and causes pre-cancerous micronuclei in human blood is a cancer factor. Logic tells us that there will be no "answer to cancer" until we eliminate the cancer factors.
Wireless communications radiation is to America today what DDT, thalidomide, dioxin, benzene, Agent Orange and asbestos were yesterday. Historically, the truth about the public health menace of extreme toxins is never told until thousands sicken and die.
Dr. Robert Becker, noted for decades of research on the effects of electromagnetic radiation, has warned: "Even if we survive the chemical and atomic threats to our existence, there is the strong possibility that increasing electropollution could set in motion irreversible changes leading to our extinction before we are even aware of them. All life pulsates in time to the earth and our artificial fields cause abnormal reactions in all organisms…These energies are too dangerous to entrust forever to politicians, military leaders and their lapdog researchers."39
Our mission to save the nation’s health and restore sanity in the wireless age seems daunting. The wireless juggernaut is an aggressive, mean machine. Federal regulators are clearly compromised and incompetent to protect the public health. Uninformed consumers dearly love their magic digital toys and don’t yet understand the connection between those toys and a national raging cancer epidemic that may consume us all.
Powerful economic interests have lied to us long enough. Americans need and deserve the facts. We need dialogue. Wireless radiation is a form of electronic trespass. America must decide whose rights are more important—idlers beaming death rays for gibberish or the elderly with pacemakers who are made ill by cell phone and tower radiation wherever they go. Must we all prematurely perish so that wireless enthusiasts can capture cell phone photos and instantly send them for processing via carcinogen express? Does a human being have the right to NOT be forcibly WiMAXED into a coffin, or do only wireless providers and their devotees have rights?
What can we do?
We can commit to join the growing radiation awareness movement and continue educating ourselves and others. We can employ digital and audio radiation detectors to help safeguard our personal health and to demonstrate the ceaseless brutality of ubiquitous wireless radiation which threatens the genetic integrity of future generations. We can promote emerging technologies that could make communications technologies safer.
We can demand that federal radiation exposure standards be updated and that wireless emissions from transmitters be drastically reduced. We can demand routine compliance testing at all transmitter sites. We can see to it that people living and working near transmitters be given opportunity to report their illnesses in national surveys. Proper epidemiological studies must be conducted and their results published and broadly disseminated. Federal communications law must be rewritten so that local jurisdictions can regain their right to consider health and environment when reviewing wireless siting applications.
Each of us can break the seductive, but oppressive wireless habit ourselves. We can play no game, use no wireless Internet system, make no trivial phone call that necessitates enlarging America’s dense forest of wireless transmitters.
If no one buys WiMAX-enabled devices and related services, the system will fail. Whenever possible, we can go back to the old-fashioned, corded phones and message machines which made yesteryear a far more healthy time. We can encourage others to contact us by land line only.
Can we enjoy a leisurely conversation knowing that an irradiated caller risks disease and disability for mindless chatter? What good is wireless convenience if it means being ultimately tethered to a hospital bed? We can teach our children that health is more important than passing convenience and instant gratification.
According to OSHA, no environment should be deliberately made hazardous. Backed by current scientific knowledge, we can refuse to work or shop in an environment which endangers our health. We can demand that megahertz and gigahertz cordless phones, walkie talkie radios, WLAN and WiFi systems be removed from schools, offices, hospitals and any public place where people are grossly irradiated without their informed consent. Second hand smoke is bad; second hand radiation is worse.
We wish to thank the courageous radiation victims interviewed for this report who have generously revealed the details of their personal suffering in order to warn others. Following their example, we must continue undaunted in the moral quest to protect the national health and restore the world to sanity before it is too late.

Meters and resources
The ElectroSmog Detector allows you to HEAR the RF/microwave pollution in your environment. (See ad on page 14 of the hardcopy edition of The IO).
The Trifield Meter ($130), produced by Alpha Lab, is used mainly to measure the milligauss of electromagnetic fields coming from 60 hertz sources. Use this digital meter to make sure your living and working spaces are under 2 milligauss. Alpha Lab’s Microwave Power Density Meter ($320) is a more sensitive digital microwave meter that will help you assess the kilohertz, megahertz and gigahertz radiation in our wireless environment. This easy-read meter measures microwave radiation in microwatts per cm2, allowing comparison of your readings to the 5 microwatts per cm2 used by the Russians to make our embassy staff sick. Remember, people inside the embassy reportedly received only about .01 microwatts per cm2. For more information, contact Alpha Lab Inc., 1280 South 300 West, Salt Lake City, Utah 84101; (800) 658-7030; www.trifield.com
For a list of more expensive professional meters available, go to: www.microwavenews.com. On the left side of the home page find a link called "Radiation Meters."
The Zap Checker: Alan Broadband produces radiation detection devices with models ranging in price from $159 to $2,800. The $159 model, while not giving detailed readings, is an extremely sensitive and sturdy instrument that gives an accurate dial read on whether or not radiation is present and its relative intensity. It lets you know when you are being irradiated and serves as an excellent tool to illustrate exposure levels to others.

The $159 model, while not giving detailed readings, is an extremely sensitive and sturdy instrument that gives an accurate dial read on whether or not radiation is present and its relative intensity. It lets you know when you are being irradiated and serves as an excellent tool to illustrate exposure levels to others.

CAUTION:
There are many devices on the market claiming to protect
wireless users from radiation. These include: air tube headsets, ferrite
bead clip-ons and an array of paste-ons advertised to cut down on
thermal effects or deflect negative energy. Energy testing, kinesiology
and meter readings indicate that these mitigation devices DO NOT
adequately protect against the brutal force of near field microwave
radiation. You can investigate the effectiveness of these devices by
metering radiation levels while using them. If radiation pours from your
"safe" headset, don’t bank your life on it. If practiced in the art of
kinesiology, you can also "muscle test" the effectiveness of the
radiation mitigation device. The human body becomes very weak when
irradiated with any man-made frequency, especially microwaves. If a
protective device is really working, you will not detect muscle weakness
when using a wireless phone or gadget.
