Microwave - and other forms of electromagnetic - radiation are major (but conveniently disregarded, ignored, and overlooked) factors in many modern unexplained disease states. Insomnia, anxiety, vision problems, swollen lymph, headaches, extreme thirst, night sweats, fatigue, memory and concentration problems, muscle pain, weakened immunity, allergies, heart problems, and intestinal disturbances are all symptoms found in a disease process the Russians described in the 70's as Microwave Sickness.

State of the Art Microwave Meter for Those Interested
Friends, this email is only for those of you interested in owning a state of the art RF/microwave/wireless radiation meter. If you are not interested, this email will be very boring, so just delete it now.
For those serious about the present wireless radiation issue, I will try to be as clear as possible for you. If you ALREADY own an Acoustimeter or an Acousticom 2, YOU DO NOT NEED THIS METER. Alright, are we clear on this point? The Acoustimeter and Acousticom 2 are still my favorite meters.
At the same time, for those who want the latest technology, state of the art RF meter, the experts at Safe Living Technologies just designed and manufactured the Safe and Sound Pro. There is not another meter like this on the market for a number of reasons, which I will assume you will check out on the product page below.
Safe Living Technologies company is my supplier for many EMF products. They are experts in this field. I spoke with the designer of the meter and asked him why the Safe and Sound was superior, which answers I also put onto the product page provided below. One of the things he told me was that the Acoustimeter was using 10 year old technology and this new Safe and Sound Pro was using the latest detection technology and has been certified in its accuracy.
It also measures up to 12 gigahertz which is quite high. And I am told it will be capable of measuring "some" of the new 5G frequencies, not the higher ones, but some of the new 5G frequencies being used within the 12 gigahertz range.
In addition, the meter is quite small and stealth and not near as large as the Acoustimeter. It also has an extremely high quality sound function/speaker.
Now, why do I say if you have an Acoustimeter or Acousticom 2 you DO NOT need this meter? Simple, those meters are excellent and will easily do the job of alerting you to microwave radiation in any environment. And really, who cares if they are not quite as accurate as this new Safe and Sound Pro. Who needs perfect accuracy when measuring toxic microwave radiation, plus or minus 10% or 15% accuracy! We don't...we just need to know there is microwave radiation in the environment and take proper action, not worry about accuracy!
However, if you are like me, and you want the best equipment for the job, this meter is truly a state of the art unit and very simple to use, not complicated at all.
Cost: $370.
So for those of you who want the latest in microwave detection, here is the product information page below. Contact me if you are interested:

Sleep issues, Smart Meters and More - “Harmonics are the cancer of the electrical system.”
Excerpt:
When Ridicule and Prejudice Prevail Over Scientific Inquiry
This assessment of the sleeping environment and symptom complaints could have been adopted as an appropriate response in 2009, when the sudden, acute onset of an adverse neurological health condition[3] corresponded with the installation of wireless smart utility meters in several states, including Texas,[4] Maine,[5] and California,[6] more recently in Pennsylvania,[7] and in other countries worldwide.
The peer-reviewed published study, Self-reporting of symptom development from exposure to radiofrequency fields of wireless smart meters in Victoria, Australia: a case series by F. Lemach determined:
RESULTS:The most frequently reported symptoms from exposure to smart meters were (1) insomnia, (2) headaches, (3) tinnitus, (4) fatigue, (5) cognitive disturbances, (6) dysesthesias (abnormal sensation), and (7) dizziness. The effects of these symptoms on people’s lives were significant.CONCLUSIONS:Review of some key studies, both recent and old (1971), reveals that the participants’ symptoms were the same as those reported by people exposed to radiofrequency fields emitted by devices other than smart meters. Interestingly, the vast majority of Victorian cases did not state that they had been sufferers of electromagnetic hypersensitivity syndrome (EHS) prior to exposure to the wireless meters, which points to the possibility that smart meters may have unique characteristics that lower people’s threshold for symptom development.SOURCE: PubMed
The industry and its economic partners instead ridiculed and dismissed reports of harm, initially implying that patients had a mental illness, and then crafting a more carefully worded response that it was obvious that customers had problems, but that there was no evidence that the symptoms were linked to the meters.
Despite societal progress regarding the “Me Too,” LGBTQ, and racial fronts – ridicule, marginalization, minimization, and overrunning of the rights of the “tin foil hat brigade” and those with other chronic environmentally-induced health conditions (MCS) is the most deeply institutionalized, socially acceptable, and enduring form of prejudice and lack of accommodation in the mass culture.
This is not a scientific challenge, but rather a lack of willingness on the part of the industry and its regulators and related economic interests. There is no biologically-based paradigm in place to perform pre-market safety testing for current juxtapositions of wireless devices and infrastructure. The burden for proof of harm has been shifted to the lay population, because the regulatory paradigm has failed.
This issue of inadequate testing, regulation, and oversight is permeating not only the wireless industry, but also running rampant with agencies ranging from the FCC to the FAA to the CDC.
However, societal awareness of the wrongdoings of chemical companies and fossil fuel companies is increasing, while recognition of the risks of the wireless paradigm has not yet reached critical mass. In fact, things are getting worse. Faster more ubiquitous wireless coverage is being promoted as progress and the cure to all societal ills. Rather than requiring the industry to provide evidence of safety, regulators dismiss reports of harm, stating that the scientific evidence was lacking, thereby shifting the burden of proof of harm to those injured.
5G Day of Action - May 15th
Dear Advocates,
Please see the call to action below. If you live in the Western part of the state and would like to participate in this day of action, please contact Mary Anne Tierney at hopefulmat@gmail.com. If you live in any other part of the state and would like to be an organizer for an event in your area, please contact Americans for Safe Technology's Grassroots Communications team directly to receive "detailed instructions and more information, including press releases, talking points, social media posts, sample letters to the editor and information about public assembly permits – materials you can use to help make your Day of Action a big success." gee@grassrootsinfo.org
Best regards,
Ellen
Dear friends,
We are pleased to announce that Americans for Responsible Technology is planning a nationwide Day of Action on May 15th, calling on wireless companies (Verizon, Sprint, AT&T and T-Mobile) and their sub-contractors (Crown Castle, ExteNet Systems and other antenna installers) to suspend the deployment of small cell wireless antennas in residential neighborhoods until such time as chronic, low level exposure to 5G radio-frequency (RF) microwave radiation can be proven completely safe.
The coordinated events will take place in front of retail wireless establishments in cities and towns across the country from 12 noon to 1:30 (local time) on Wednesday, May 15th. The purpose of these events is to raise public awareness of the issue through media coverage, and to place the burden of responsibility where it belongs: on those who stand to profit from the deployment of 5G.
While we recognize that there are many troubling aspects to the wireless radiation problem, we are framing these events to concentrate on the impact of chronic radiation exposure on children. Children are uniquely vulnerable to environmental exposures – particularly those which can affect the developing brain and increase the risk of cancer. We believe the instinct to protect children is well understood, and this will help our message resonate with young parents and others in the community who may not yet be familiar with wireless radiation and its potential impacts on human health.
We're hoping you and others in your organization will coordinate an event in your local area. In the next few days we'll be providing you with detailed instructions and more information, including press releases, talking points, social media posts, sample letters to the editor and information about public assembly permits – materials you can use to help make your Day of Action a big success.
Please feel free to reach out to us with ideas or comments. We look forward to working with you to turn the tide on 5G!

REPORT: 5G Deployment - State of Play in Europe, USA and Asia - European Parliament, April 2019
Excerpt:
5G DEPLOYMENT IN LEADING COUNTRIES
This chapter reviews the status of 5G deployment in those countries and economies considered to be most advanced in their plans for 5G – the USA, China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Singapore and Taiwan.
2.1. USA
The plans of the major four MNOs – AT&T and Verizon, as well as Sprint and T-Mobile – will determine the USA’s progress in 5G for the next five years. They are quite diverse in terms of what they term “5G”, their business models, rollout schedules, and which parts of the spectrum will be used. Only prototype handsets have been available but first consumer models are expected in 2019.
All MNOs have started trials of 5G technologies and equipment, with commercial launches planned by the end of 2019. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) held a high-band spectrum auction (i.e. above 10 GHz) in November 2018, but it is unclear when mid-band spectrum (i.e. above the UHF band from 3 GHz - 6 GHz) will be made available. By early 2019, sixteen states had enacted legislation to enable small cells to be deployed more easily.
Verizon: In October 2018 Verizon launched “5G Home”, claimed as the first commercial 5G service, over its proprietary 5GTF network standard. Speeds range from 300 Mbps to 1 Gbps, depending on location. It offers Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) broadband for home connectivity in parts of four large cities, with more in 2019. The service tariff is $70 per month or $50 per month for existing customers.
Independent field testing of the 5G network in Sacramento revealed 5G Home coverage of around 10% of the city (Dano, 2019). However, the FWA technology used is a pre-standard version, likely to be replaced when 3GPP standard equipment is available. Verizon's network is based on the 28 GHz spectrum for which it holds a licence. This band suits rapid data downloads but not coverage of large areas. Verizon claims a range of about 300 m from transmitter sites and potential customers’ locations, but field tests showed it was about half this. Since 2017, Verizon has been testing mm-wave 5G service in 11 cities (in Ann Arbor, Atlanta, Bernardsville, Brockton, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Miami, Sacramento, Seattle, and Washington, DC). It demonstrated a 5G video call at the 2018 Super Bowl and a 5G NR data lab transmission with Nokia and Qualcomm in February 2018. In June 2018, Verizon tested two-way data transmission and multi-carrier aggregation and very high speeds outdoors. In August 2018, Verizon with Nokia succeeded in transmitting a 5G NR signal to a moving vehicle, using spectrum in the 28 GHz band in a New Jersey trial. Then in September 2018, it completed testing 5G transmissions to a test vehicle in Washington, at 28 GHz, using a 5G prototype core network with Nokia 5G radio equipment. It also transmitted 5G signals in commercial trials in Washington, DC and Minneapolis with the prototype user devices for its 5G NR network.
T-Mobile USA: In contrast, while T-Mobile is not ignoring high-band frequencies, it does not want to waste its vast 600 MHz spectrum investment. To demonstrate that mmWave bands are not a prerequisite for 5G, T-Mobile’s latest 5G demo, opened in January 2019 operating at 600 MHz. It is targeting early 2019 for its commercial launch. The MNO expects the FWA (fixed-wireless access) coverage based 5G to offer 100 Mbps data rates for up to two-thirds of the US population in the next 5 years and cover 90% of the USA by 2024 (European 5G Observatory, 2019). The 600 MHz band will be the carrier for launch and first rollout, with 28 GHz and 39 GHz bands in a second stage. Their strategy is to demonstrate high speeds with a broad coverage early and corner the US market.
At the January 2019 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, it announced making the first data and video calls using the 600 MHz band. Using the latest 5G New Radio (NR) standard from 3GPP, running over an experimental 5G setup designed and created in collaboration with Intel and Ericsson (Bosnjak, 2019), integrated with the company's live commercial (LTE) network. T-Mobile also confirmed a successful tri-band video call leveraging its latest technologies, for three users connected via three different spectrum bands – 600 MHz, 28 GHz, and 39 GHz. Thus, T-Mobile is to expand capital expenditure for its 600 MHz 5G rollout in 2019, by 6%, from $5.8 billion in 2018 to $6.1 billion in 2019 (TelecomLead, 2019).

T-Mobile signed two $3.5 billion contracts with Ericsson and Nokia in August 2018 to support this nationwide 5G NR network deployment. Under the contract, Ericsson will provide T-Mobile with its 5G NR hardware and software, as well as Ericsson’s digital services software for management. T-Mobile has also announced target cities for mobile 5G launch by 2020 in Dallas, Las Vegas, Los Angeles and New York City.
AT&T: on 21 December 2018, AT&T was the first in the USA to announce a 3GPP standards-based mobile 5G launch, for a commercial network. It planned to launch 5G services to 12 cities by the end of 2018. Interestingly, despite its pilots, AT&T remains reserved about 5G for fixed wireless access (FWA). Further rollout will be in 2019, for 19 additional cities. Its technology partners include Ericsson, Samsung, Nokia and Intel for its four city-wide trials performed since early 2017, on FWA and mobile 5G (European 5G Observatory, 2019), demonstrating its first mobile 5G device using mmWave spectrum as well as the “first mm-wave mobile 5G browsing session”.
In addition, AT&T has been offering its own form of 5G that has caused some controversy, termed 5G+ but which is essentially an upgrade of LTE. AT&T proposes the Netgear Nighthawk 5G Mobile Hotspot device to run on AT&T’s 5G+ network but over mmWave spectrum rather than UHF. Controversially, it has branded its LTE network as 5G Evolution or 5G E, a clear example of the hype surrounding 5G (Reardon, 2019).
AT&T is also proposing 5G hotspots for the dense urban areas of 12 cities and to extend to parts of seven other cities in 2019. In the home, the Netgear Nighthawk 5G Mobile Hotspot device (or “puck”) will run on AT&T’s 5G+ network over 28 GHz mmWave spectrum. Customers outside the 5G+ network coverage will be able to use the device for the best received local mobile network such as AT&T’s 5G Evolution LTE network (with carrier aggregation). Note that the early 5G customer equipment and tariff plan is not cheap. The initial cost of a Nighthawk hotspot device is $499, with a15 GB data plan contract for 5G costing $70 a month.
Sprint: a much smaller MNO, it has planned a commercial launch in the first half of 2019. Customers for its mmWave network in nine target cities should have their first 5G smartphone from LG of Korea by mid-2019. It tested 5G in the 2.5 GHz range for the dense environment of the Atlanta Super Bowl in 2018, with a software upgrade for pilot smartphones. Sprint has the most 2.5 GHz spectrum of any MNO in the USA, and proposes to re-use it for both LTE and 5G, in city centres, via massive MIMO, so it can leverage its current macro cell sites and towers (Alleven, 2018). Sprint is still discussing a proposed merger with T-Mobile USA, hoping to combine its 2.5 GHz 5G network for city centres with T-Mobile’s 600 MHz network for rural and suburban use, with future centimetric bands near 26 GHz, and higher, for dense urban settings in the future.
Conclusion
The USA is moving towards some form of rollout of mobile broadband as 5G but not necessarily in a holistic, well-orchestrated operation. It is more a set of ad hoc commercial manoeuvres. Some of these are simply rebranding existing LTE, rather than delivering novel networks. Re-use of the LTE spectrum in the UHF ranges (300 MHz to 3 GHz) is significant. The latter decision is probably warranted by its geography of large rural spaces and high density urban centres situated more on the coasts. Thus, the insistence for 5G on high centimetric bands (25–30 GHz and higher) is probably less justified than for the dense conurbations of Asia and the EU.

A significant challenge concerns the administrative local barriers to small cell rollout. The need for many small cells implies long delays and high costs. Local regulations continue to prevail despite the FCC’s mandate on a light-touch regime and minimal permit costs. This has led to a wide divide between local and central government on the principles of having to obtain permission for rollout and the charges for that. Local administrations, especially in the larger municipalities, are at loggerheads with the FCC (Zima, 2018). Several court challenges are being made to the FCC mandate of August 2018 that overrides local objections to a “one-touch” regime.

Elizabeth Warren Unveils Sweeping Bill to Punish Criminal CEOs
Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren introduced legislation Wednesday that would make it easier to imprison corporate executives whose companies commit crimes or “harm large numbers of Americans through civil violations.”
“Corporations don’t make decisions, people do, but for far too long, CEOs of giant corporations that break the law have been able to walk away, while consumers who are harmed are left picking up the pieces,” the 2020 Democratic presidential contender said in a statement.
Are found liable or enter a settlement with any state or federal regulator for the violation of any civil law if that violation affects the health, safety, finances, or personal data of 1% of the American population or 1% of the population of any state;
Under Warren’s bill, punishment for a first offense would be “up to one year” of jail-time. A second offense would carry up to three years in prison.
Verizon launches first 5G mobile service in Chicago, Minneapolis
Verizon has confirmed the start of its 5G mobile service, in parts of Minneapolis and Chicago. The launch came a week ahead of schedule. Customers can access the service with the new 5G mod for the Moto Z3 smartphone and receive speeds of up to 1 Gbps.
Verizon claims it is the first in the world to offer the 5G mobile service with a smartphone. Earlier launches, such as AT&T last year, used hotspot devices. Last year Verizon launched a fixed-wireless over its own 5G standard, for customers to use at home. The mobile service uses global 5G standards and Verizon expects to expand the service to more than 30 US cities in 2019.
Trump administration at war with itself over 5G airwaves
The Trump administration is feuding internally over the fate of airwaves critical to 5G networks, threatening to undermine the country's push to speed development of the super-fast wireless service and set the global standards around the technology. The clash pits Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai against Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine over whether the FCC’s efforts to free up more wireless spectrum for 5G will interfere with the government's use of nearby airwaves for weather forecasting and disaster relief. The interagency spat — which has been playing out for weeks behind the scenes and has recently begun to spill into the open — is the latest example of the tug of war over the invisible frequencies that power the nation's vast cell networks as well as a variety of public safety functions. The fight centers on airwaves in a specific band of spectrum, 24 GHz, which wireless carriers like AT&T and Verizon say are critical to deploying 5G because they have the capacity necessary to handle large amounts of data. The FCC plans to auction off the airwaves, which are largely unused, to wireless companies starting. But NASA and Commerce Department agencies like the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which use nearby spectrum, fear the commercial 5G signals will interfere with their equipment, including weather observation satellites that gather data for forecasts and hurricane prediction.
America’s “Medical Deep State”. The Role of the CDC
The nation’s leading health agency, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
For over two decades, American families have faced an unscrupulous foe that threatens the public health and welfare. It is a rogue, unmanageable institution within our federal government, now seemingly beholden solely to private interests. Citizens have been horribly mistaken in believing that the nation’s leading health agency, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC),honors its mandate to protect the public from “dangerous health threats,” both domestic and foreign. We are expected to assume the CDC relies upon the most advanced and cutting-edge medical science and data to make its policy decisions. However, the agency’s history of corruption and fraud contradict its own pledge, as outlined on its website. Instead of protecting the “health security of our nation,” the CDC uses bromides and meaningless pageantry to hide its true nature.
During the past year, especially in recent months, the fear-mongering spewing forth from the CDC has become virulent. It is a classic Orwellian script. The recent measles outbreak – although nowhere near as alarming as the flare-ups of bygone eras – has been seized upon as an opportunity to brainwash the public and reshape it into obedient livestock in order to increase vaccination compliance. Worse, this disinformation campaign ignores everything we know about measles infection and the failures of the MMR vaccine.
Unfortunately, we are no longer permitted to debate the pros and cons of the measles vaccine. The CDC consistently shuts down debate when its decisions are challenged. Physicians, medical researchers, immunologists and former vaccine advocates who challenge the loose claims for vaccine safety and efficacy are frustrated and eager to publicly debate the best vaccine advocates the CDC and vaccine industry have to offer, but none will take up the challenge because the science is so clearly not on their side.
The agency consistently fails to conduct and apply the gold standard in its own medical research and ignores the best independent peer-reviewed science. In short, this agency is a mouthpiece for the pharmaceutical-industrial complex and operates for its own financial advantage, rather than for the benefit of society. Its revolving doors are kept spinning with a constant influx of pharmaceutical industry and vaccine insiders. In fact the lines separating corporate influence and public health are grossly blurred and distorted. It is no surprise that documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests paint the CDC as rotten in its core and one of the greatest health threats to the nation. The agency, in Robert Kennedy Jr’s words, is a“cesspool of corruption.”
What you will never hear in the mainstream media is that there is another medical institution that is supposed to have been granted the responsibility to assure the CDC receives quality and reliable scientific research to use as the basis for its healthcare decisions. The Institutes of Medicine (IOM) does not possess the CDC’s legislative clout; however, it represents a far superior body of scientists and researchers in their medical fields.
Founded in 1970, the Institute of Medicine falls under the charter of the National Academy of Sciences started by President Abraham Lincoln and Congress in 1863. The Academy was founded for the purpose of bringing together the nation’s best scientific minds to advise the government on scientific matters. The IOM was founded later to provide expert advice and reliable medical research to the White House and Congressional legislators to guide their decisions, keeping them informed about the social, economic and political impacts of healthcare. According to its principles, and unlike the CDC, IOM members deliberating on vaccine research and policies are expected to be independent and not represent private interests.
During a press conference this month at Yale University, Children’s Health Defense founder Robert Kennedy Jr presented data (watch video below) from his investigations into the CDC’s culture of medical negligence and efforts to cover up of the compelling evidence for vaccine-induced injuries, including autism. Over the course of twenty years, the IOM has monitored and reviewed the medical literature to determine the most- and least- likely injuries associated with specific vaccines and provided recommendations to the CDC. In 1991, 22 illnesses were identified, 6 were confirmed as vaccine-related and 12 remained uncertain due to insufficiently reliable studies.
Those cases with confirmed causation included learning disabilities, attention deficit disorder, and childhood diabetes. This data was collected subsequent to President Ronald Reagan signing the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Act, a point when autism rates started to climb exponentially. Three years later, the IOM identified 54 medical conditions, the medical literature supported 10 diseases as vaccine-induced and 38 were uncertain. Among the confirmed illnesses were seizures, demyelinating disease, sterility, transverse myelitis and, for the first time, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Again in 2011, the IOM reported a whopping 155 adverse conditions with 16 vaccine-induced injuries supported by the science, including a correlation between the DTaP vaccine and autism.
Unfortunately, the IOM holds no official authority over our federal agencies; consequently, its recommendations to the CDC to further investigate vaccines’ adverse effects went unheeded. Today, nothing has changed at the CDC. Instead, the agency has dug itself into a deeper hole of secrecy and corruption. With a budget of $11.5 billion, Kennedy notes that only a pathetic $20 million is designated for vaccine safety. The CDC is crying out for a thorough public audit.
These early IOM reports are extremely valuable. They identify many of the same childhood diseases that have grown to epidemic proportions in the intervening years, and they indict vaccines as a causal factor. Yet regrettably, the IOM has recently showed signs of becoming as compromised as other health agencies. It, too, may have become another pawn of the Medical Deep State that is infiltrating every state legislative body to pass draconian immunization laws with the end goal of vaccinating Americans by lies and even threats and force if necessary.
For example, in a 2013 report on the safety of the CDC’s Childhood Immunization Schedule, the IOM gave its stamp of approval while ignoring the fact that no vaccine trial, except for a poorly designed Gardasil trial, has conducted safety tests with a scientifically valid placebo. Nor are there credible and reliable studies to support claims that no synergistic health risks arise from administering multiple vaccines concurrently. Now the IOM, too, is basing its conclusions on junk corporate science. Its recent reports also omit reviews of the scientific literature that note the toxicity of the aluminum adjuvant used in many vaccines, including the MMR.
Recent research conducted by Dr. Chris Exley at Keele University in the UK has uncovered the pathways by which high amounts of vaccine aluminum accumulate in brain tissue rather than being excreted. High brain aluminum levels were found in deceased autistic children whose tissues were donated for his research. Autistic children can have as much as ten times the amount of aluminum lodged in the brain compared to a normal adult. Blogging on theHippocratic Post, Exley notes that Merck refuses to make its aluminum adjuvant available for researchers to conduct independent analysis.
The CDC’s crimes are a matter of public record. These are not secrets or confidential information. The documents and voices of whistleblowers within the CDC are readily found on the internet to support all of our charges against the agency. They are readily available to anyone who wishes to investigate. Unfortunately, our media has again failed to do its job in accurately reporting on federal corruption, instead becoming an instrument of the Medical Deep State and a mouthpiece to deceive the public.
CDC misconduct includes widespread corporate nepotism favoring private pharmaceutical interests, illegal destruction of clinical data that showed a correlation between the MMR vaccine and a 250 percent increase in autism among African American boys, hiring a criminal(s) to conduct fraudulent research to conceal the neurological risks of mercury-containing vaccines, the silencing of internal officials and whistleblowers, serving as the go-between on behalf of the beverage industry concerning the World Health Organization’s restriction of sugary soft drinks, etc. The CDC has fudged firearm safety statistics; that report led Harvard University’s Injury Control Research Center director David Hemenway to declare that no one should trust the CDC’s estimates.
During the 1970s, it was the CDC’s Dr. Colleen Boyle who covered up the hideously toxic nature of Agent Orange and dioxin that thousands of Vietnam War veterans were exposed to. Although the IOM and Congress revealed Boyle’s chicanery, the agency duly rewarded her loyalty with a promotion.
The CDC and the vaccine industry have been colluding for a long time. In 2004, Congress accused the agency of operating as a public relations firm for private interests, rather than as a watchdog ensuring the integrity of vaccine science. That same year, the US Office of Special Counsel uncovered potential evidence that the CDC and pharmaceutical companies were destroying data linking the vaccine preservative thimerosal with neurological disorders. Senator Tom Coburn’s expose reveals the agency’s widespread budgetary mismanagement has wasted millions of tax dollars and concludes that the CDC cannot demonstrate it is controlling disease.
In October 2017, Congressman Bill Posey sent a letter to then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions calling on him to resume efforts to extradite and prosecute Dr. Poul Thorsen for money laundering of over $1 million from the CDC. The catch is that Thorsen was contracted by the CDC to conduct fraudulent research in Denmark that would mask any association between the vaccine preservative thimerosal and autism. In 2011, Thorsen was placed on the Inspector General’s most wanted list; nevertheless, the CDC has continued to erect obstacles to extradition efforts. More worrisome, Rep Posey discovered that for at least three years after the FBI issued its arrest warrant, the CDC and National Institutes of Health continued to collaborate with Thorsen and even joint-published more junk science together.
Another misdemeanor involved the CDC providing erroneous data to Congress about its women’s health program, WISEWOMAN, commissioned to provide preventative health services to women between 40 and 65 to reduce cardiovascular disease. Native Americans were also targeted for assistance in the program. The data was cooked and enrolled far less women than the CDC reported to Congress.
These ethical violations are systemic throughout the agency and Congress has been paralyzed in any efforts to rein in the rottenness that saturates the agency’s leadership.
In 2016, a group of scientists within the agency submitted a letter stating their concerns to the CDC’s chief of staff:
“We are a group of scientists at the CDC that are very concerned about the current state of ethics at our agency. It appears that our mission is being influenced and shaped by outside parties and rogue interests…. What concerns us most is that it is becoming the norm and not the rare exception. Some senior management officials at CDC are clearly aware and even condone these behaviors. Others see it and turn the other way. Some staff are intimidated and pressed to do things they know are not right.”
Out of fear of retribution, this group of CDC employees filed their complaint anonymously.
Over the years, Congressional subcommittees have voiced warnings to CDC officials to clean up their act. A House Government Reform Committee reported that both the CDC’s and FDA’s advisory committees for vaccines were thoroughly compromised with pharmaceutical conflicts of interest.
Another voting advisory committee member held a patent on a rival rotavirus vaccine. Neither advisory committee complies with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, which requires a diversity of medical opinions; instead, the committees are stacked with corporate shills advocating for fast-tracking poorly developed vaccines with insufficient and untrustworthy safety and efficacy data to otherwise support their approval. In 2009, the Office of the Inspector General conducted an investigation of conflicts of interests within the CDC. The Office discovered that 97 percent of its advisors failed to declare their links to the pharmaceutical industry.
We have reported in the past how the CDC operates more like a private intelligence and surveillance firm rather than a federally funded public health service. In the meantime, epidemics of autism, neuro-developmental disorders, autoimmunity, childhood diabetes, febrile seizures, asthma and allergies roll on and federal health officials embrace the superstitions of vaccine magic and reside in a culture of medical denialism.
Finally, there is a fundamental question.
Would you hire someone with such an extensive rap sheet to care for your child, let alone a newborn infant? Would you trust them to undertake the correct measures in an emergency, or use sound judgment to assure your child’s well-being? For the hundreds of thousands of vaccine-damaged children, the CDC remains a felon on the loose. And the rest of our government is less competent than inebriated Keystone cops to authorize a thorough housecleaning.
The agency displays no sincere interest in your child’s well-being and health, nor those of any American for that matter. And the mainstream media, every major network, newspaper and magazine, are similarly unconscionably complicit in preserving the CDC’s culture of deception. The entire media should be stamped with a warning as life-threatening dangers to the public health.

During the past year, especially in recent months, the fear-mongering spewing forth from the CDC has become virulent. It is a classic Orwellian script. The recent measles outbreak – although nowhere near as alarming as the flare-ups of bygone eras – has been seized upon as an opportunity to brainwash the public and reshape it into obedient livestock in order to increase vaccination compliance. Worse, this disinformation campaign ignores everything we know about measles infection and the failures of the MMR vaccine.
Unfortunately, we are no longer permitted to debate the pros and cons of the measles vaccine. The CDC consistently shuts down debate when its decisions are challenged. Physicians, medical researchers, immunologists and former vaccine advocates who challenge the loose claims for vaccine safety and efficacy are frustrated and eager to publicly debate the best vaccine advocates the CDC and vaccine industry have to offer, but none will take up the challenge because the science is so clearly not on their side.
The agency consistently fails to conduct and apply the gold standard in its own medical research and ignores the best independent peer-reviewed science. In short, this agency is a mouthpiece for the pharmaceutical-industrial complex and operates for its own financial advantage, rather than for the benefit of society. Its revolving doors are kept spinning with a constant influx of pharmaceutical industry and vaccine insiders. In fact the lines separating corporate influence and public health are grossly blurred and distorted. It is no surprise that documents obtained through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests paint the CDC as rotten in its core and one of the greatest health threats to the nation. The agency, in Robert Kennedy Jr’s words, is a“cesspool of corruption.”

Carr Congratulates West Virginia for Enactment of 5G Infrastructure Reform
New Law Addresses Fees and Shot Clocks, Speeding Deployment in The Mountain State'
West Virginia’s small cell reform bill allows localities to charge up to $25 per year for the use of the right-of-way and $65 per year for attachment of small cells to certain utility poles, and it requires localities to approve or disapprove of small cell attachments generally within 60 days of applications. Commissioner Carr led an FCC order approved in September that presumptively reduces annual fees nationwide to $270 per year and sets review periods for attachments at 60 days.
Cancer clusters near cell towers have been reported at locations all over the world
CANCER CLUSTERS NEAR CELL TOWERS
ENGLAND
1. In 2002 Tory leader in the UK, Iain Duncan Smith, called for an urgent government probe into the link between mobile phone masts and cancer after it emerged that people living in five of the seven homes surrounding a building in Woodford with16 masts on its roof- have contracted cancer.
The incidence of leukaemia near these masts is also far higher than would be expected normally, according to statistics. There was a significant decline in the incidence of all cancers the further residents lived away from the masts.
2. Also in the UK Dr John Walker from Sutton-Coldfield compiled three cancer cluster studies around mobile phone towers from Devon, Lincolnshire, Staffordshire and the West Midlands. He was convinced they showed a potential link between the angle of the beam of radiation emitted from the masts' antennae and illnesses discovered in local populations.[i] Dr Sutton first noticed a high number of specific cancers in the early 1990s. Out of 18 houses in one street ten people were diagnosed with one form of cancer. He said the odds of three such clusters occurring were one in a billion. The epidemiological figures show that, within 1.4 miles of the Sutton-Coldfield mast, the number of adult leukaemia cases was nearly double what would normally be expected. In April 2007 The Sunday Times reported that seven clusters of cancer plus serious illnesses had been discovered around mobile phone towers in the UK.
3. In the UK in 1999, analysis conducted for The Sunday Times by Professor Gordon Stewart, one of Britain's leading epidemiologists, showed there may be a significant increase in the risk of cancers, including leukaemia, associated with mobile phone masts. The study revealed an increased incidence of cancer within up to 7km of masts. Subsequent inquiries unearthed clusters in London, Bedfordshire, south Wales and the Midlands. People in one area near the mast were found to be 33 per cent more likely to suffer from
WALES
Near Cardiff in Wales at least eight residents in the parish of St Georges and St Brides died of cancer over five years, and in every one of the 10 houses on a residential street close to the Sandy Heath transmitter in Bedfordshire, there has been a cancer death. USA
1. In 2006 17 people around a mobile phone tower in Norfolk County in the US reported symptoms of microwave sickness – including headaches, fatigue, nausea and dizziness since the installation of the tower. The tower was removed.[ii]
2. An unusual cancer cluster was found at a California student residence among young people, and the conclusion was that a nearby cell tower was the cause. see http://mieuxprevenir.blogspot.ca/2012/11/san-diego-state-university-brain-cancer.html .
AUSTRALIA
1. An industry funded study found in 1997 that of the exposed mice, 43% developed cancer, compared to 22% in the control group.[iii] This was regarded by biomedical scientists around the world as highly significant. "…it may indicate that in individuals genetically predisposed to certain forms of cancer, the long-term intermittent exposure to RF such as those used by mobile phones may be an important stimulus in the induction of malignancy." Peter French, Principal Scientific Officer, Centre for Immunology, St Vincent's Hospital, Sydney, 2001[iv]
2. In October 2007 another cancer cluster of 10 people was discovered on the top floor of a hospital in Israel, and another one in Mt Kuringai in Sydney, Australia, also in 2007.
3. In 2000 Australian Dr Bruce Hocking presented the findings of a health study done on residents within a 4km zone surrounding Sydney TV towers. He found that children living within this radius had a 60 per cent higher incidence of leukaemia than children who lived further from the towers - with a far greater risk of dying from the disease. Dr Hocking also found a slightly increased rate of adult cancer in the study area than beyond it.[xiii]
SPAIN
1. A health survey carried out in Spain in 2004 around two GSM mobile phone towers showed "statistically significant positive exposure-response associations between the E-field and fatigue, irritability, headaches, nausea, loss of appetite, sleeping disorder, depressive tendency, feeling of discomfort, difficulty in concentration, loss of memory, visual disorder, dizziness and cardiovascular problems."[v]
2. According to the UK Mast Sanity group, 47 cancer clusters have been reported around schools in Spain.
GERMANY
A study instigated by the President of the Federal Agency for Radiation Protection in Germany from 1999 until 2004 found that after five years operation of the mobile phone tower, the relative risk of getting cancer had trebled for the residents of the area in the proximity of the tower compared to the residents outside the area.
ISRAEL
Two studies carried out in 2004 around transmitters in Israel found a threefold increase of cancers within a 400 m radius of transmitters, and for breast cancer a tenfold increase was found. (NOTE: Just a few days ago Health Canada reported a significant increase in breast cancer in Canada in recent years. A coincidence? el). As a result, two lawsuits were filed for 33 people who lived close to phone towers and who consequently contracted cancer and leukaemia in that year.[vii]
EGYPT
In 2006 an Egyptian study found that "Inhabitants living near mobile phone base stations are at risk of developing neuropsychiatric problems and changes in the performance of neurobehavioral functions – either by facilitation or inhibition".[viii]
KOREA
A study published in 2007 by Mina Ha of Dankook University in South Korea found that "children living within 2km of an AM transmitter had more than twice the risk of developing leukaemia, compared to those living more than 20km away." [xi]
ITALY
Communities living near the Vatican radio transmitter north of Rome have reported high rates of cancer – with twice the usual rate of childhood leukaemia within six kilometres of the radio station. The incidence of both decreased with distance from the antennas.[xii]
BRAZIL
A 2011 report of thousands of cases of cancer deaths concluded that there was a direct link to proximity to cell towers in 4,924 of these cancer deaths. The researchers found that in 80% of the cases the victims lived within 500 m of the cell antennas. (see citizensforsafetechnology.org for report).
OTHER STUDIES
In addition in 2005 the Nobel Prize winning Irish Doctors Association listed 70 research papers showing the dangers from low level microwaves. Dr. Santini listed 20 similar studies, the EM Radiation Research Trust listed 9 studies, Dr. Blackwell listed 6 similar studies in his report, and finally, four international universities completed the Spanish Study which verified all of the known illnesses.

French Court Recognized Electromagnetic-Sensitivity as an Occupational Disease
Bron: wearetheevidence.org/french-court-recognized-electromagnetic-sensitivity-as-an-occupational-disease/
2 april 2019
Written by: Martine Vriens, Director of International Legal Affairs for We Are The Evidence
On January 17th, 2019, the French Court of Cergy-Pontoise ruled for the first time that Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity (EHS) is an occupational disease that can be developed also from exposure to levels of radiation which are considered to be safe by the government (if they can be injurious as the court ruled then they are clearly unsafe).
The importance of the decision is not only that it’s another decision which recognizes EHS / Microwave Sickness as a condition caused by exposure to wireless radiation but by recognizing that if the exposure to electromagnetic radiation was for the purposes of work, the EHS developed from the exposure may be considered an Occupational Disease. This decision should make employers concerned as it may lead to widespread liability.
This decision joined other decisions by courts in France that recognize EHS (also known as Microwave Sickness, which is the older more accurate name). The other recent decision from France, from September 2018, recognized that an employee was injured in an accident at work as a result of exposure to wireless radiation because of the employer’s failure to accommodate his Microwave Sickness and re-assign him to a different position with less exposure.
wearetheevidence.org/another-french-court-recognizes-ehs-microwave-sickness/
The Case
The employee in this case was employed as a research technician in a chemical laboratory since 2006. At work he was exposed to atypical and significant EMR of various types, including a mass spectrometer for 4-8 hours a day. The radiation measurements showed that the exposure limits were not exceeded, nevertheless, after two years he started developing various symptoms including tinnitus, digestive problems, insomnia, concentration problems and headaches.
Between 2008 to 2011 he visited the company’s doctor several times and in 2011 Professor Dominique Belpomme diagnosed him with EHS and recommended that the employee should avoid Electro Magnetic Radiation (EMR) including those which are considered low intensity, otherwise he may develop serious damage including brain damage. The diagnosis was confirmed by two other doctors.
On 15 March 2016, the Commission de Reforme, a body that advises on accidents at work and occupational diseases concluded that the employee’s intolerance to EMR is due to his work.
The Court’s Findings and Decision
The Court ruled that the specific circumstances of this case, and in particular the favourable opinion of the Commission, make it sufficiently likely that the employee has acquired EHS through his work. This is despite the lack of medical consensus on a causal link between long-term health effects and EMF exposure. Press Here for the Court’s Decision in French.
wearetheevidence.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/French-Decision-Jan-2019.pdf
The Court further found that the worker was exposed to long-term and significant multi-frequency EMF at his workplace, some of which is atypical. The exposure to EMR has led to real and medically disabling conditions in the worker, which have developed two years after the start of his employment. It is also sufficiently plausible that the employee’s EHS is related to his work due to the absence of a previous disorder or other external factors not related to his work.

The radiation measurements showed that the exposure limits were not exceeded, nevertheless, after two years he started developing various symptoms including tinnitus, digestive problems, insomnia, concentration problems and headaches.
Between 2008 to 2011 he visited the company’s doctor several times and in 2011 Professor Dominique Belpomme diagnosed him with EHS and recommended that the employee should avoid Electro Magnetic Radiation (EMR) including those which are considered low intensity, otherwise he may develop serious damage including brain damage. The diagnosis was confirmed by two other doctors.
On 15 March 2016, the Commission de Reforme, a body that advises on accidents at work and occupational diseases concluded that the employee’s intolerance to EMR is due to his work.
The Court’s Findings and Decision
The Court ruled that the specific circumstances of this case, and in particular the favourable opinion of the Commission, make it sufficiently likely that the employee has acquired EHS through his work. This is despite the lack of medical consensus on a causal link between long-term health effects and EMF exposure. Press Here for the Court’s Decision in French.

The Court further found that the worker was exposed to long-term and significant multi-frequency EMF at his workplace, some of which is atypical. The exposure to EMR has led to real and medically disabling conditions in the worker, which have developed two years after the start of his employment. It is also sufficiently plausible that the employee’s EHS is related to his work due to the absence of a previous disorder or other external factors not related to his work.

New 5G Network Spurs Health Concerns
The popularity and widespread use of wireless technologies has spawned a telecommunications revolution with increasing public exposure to broader and higher frequencies of the electro-magnetic spectrum as we transmit data through a variety of devices. The Telecom industry is promoting the replacement of our current cellular network, 4G (fourth generation) with a new generation of shorter high frequency 5G wavelengths to power the “Internet of Things” (IoT). The IoT promises faster data processing, amazing new gadgets and a lifestyle that mirrors science fiction. However, 5G will require a massive telecommunications network with many more cell towers—resulting in wireless antennas every few feet, greater radiofrequency radiation (RFR) and increasing concerns about health.
Because this is the first generation to have cradle-to-grave lifespan exposure to this level of man-made microwave radiofrequencies, it will be years or decades before the true health consequences are known. There are still many questions about the safety of RFR in 2G, 3G and 4G wireless technologies. Informed health experts strongly recommend precaution in the roll out of 5G tech.
RFR exposure has been classified as a potential 2B carcinogen according to the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer. Research showed that the use of mobile phones could lead to specific brain tumors. Other studies have concluded that RFR exposure has been associated with DNA breaks (related to cancer), oxidative damage (leads to tissue deterioration and premature aging), disruption of cell metabolism, increased blood-brain barrier permeability, melatonin reduction (can lead to insomnia), and many others.
5G technologies are far less studied for human effects. The addition of this 5G radiation to an already complex mix of lower frequencies, will likely contribute to negative public health outcomes—both physically and mentally. The new 5G technology utilizes high-frequency millimeter waves (MMW), which give off the same dose of radiation as airport scanners. Continuous exposure in close proximity to people’s homes and workplaces may pose serious risks.
Dr. Yael Stein of Jerusalem’s Hebrew University is a strong critic of the new 5G network. He notes the adverse effects MMW have on human skin—causing pain receptors to flare up. The Department of Defense (DoD) uses MMW in a crowd-dispersal device that makes the skin feel like it’s burning.
5G technology is not only bad for humans, it harms plant and animal life as well. One study found low-intensity MMW cause “peroxidase isoenzyme spectrum changes,” which damages cells. The 5G infrastructure would also pose a threat to our planet’s atmosphere. The implementation of this massive telecom network will require the deployment of many, short-lifespan satellites propelled by hydrocarbon rocket engines. One study states: launching these rockets will produce enough atmospheric carbon to pollute global atmospheric conditions, affect temperature and the ozone.
There is little or no corporate media coverage, of specific 5G health concerns. One CBS news article, May 29, 2018, noted general health concerns about the increased proximity and scope of the proposed 5G infrastructure (300,000 new antennas), yet they, and other corporate articles focus more on the proposed benefits of 5G: faster data speeds, 3D imaging, investment opportunities, etc. Corporate media also defer to telecom industry and federal officials to answer health questions; who typically say radiation exposure is minimal and RFR devices are safe.
Corporate media also fail to cover consumer groups questioning industry and federal practices, such as the coalition of 52 grassroots organizations calling on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to delay deployment of 5G infrastructure pending more health studies, citing “emerging science linking exposure to RF microwave radiation with serious biological harm.”
