IT'S RAINMAKING TIME
Dirty Electricity and Disease

Dr. Sam Milham M.D. M.P.H. was the first scientist to alert the world to the dangers of dirty electricity. In his book Dirty Electricity: Electrification and the Diseases of Civilization, he explains the link between electromagnetic field exposure and the rise of suicide rates and epidemic diseases like cancer and diabetes. Dr. Milham joins us to discuss the deleterious health effects of our current electrical system and the rapid proliferation of cellular and wifi technology. We will explore the first and second waves of illnesses from electrification, the evidence that residential electrification caused a spike in childhood leukemia, the low occurrence of cancer in Amish communities, the underbelly of wind and solar as they relate to dirty electricity, and other startling discoveries about long-term exposure to electromagnetic fields.

Conservative MP Terence Young rose in the House of Commons on May 30, 2013 to share how there must be more caution used in the placement of cellular tower antennaes that emit radio frequency radiation.

An informative interview with Una St. Clair around the topic of the biological effects of Wi-Fi and other wireless technology. Also, background information and an explanation of how Wi-Fi is transmitted and promoted.

Note: The interview begins close to 9 minutes in, after a long, slow-paced pre-amble from the host of DailySplice, followed by an unrelated song . . .

Worth the wait.

Victorian Smart Meter Forum a resounding success -- and standing room only!

"Attendees from across Victoria packed into a conference centre in Oakleigh for Sunday's Victorian Smart Meter Forum. Organizers estimated attendance levels at between 400 and 450, with latecomers spilling out onto the foyer. Representatives from over 12 Victorian Smart Meter Action Groups hosted tables at the rear of the hall and a number of Councillors representing different City Councils were also in attendance. The forum was also 'honoured' by the attendance of Mark Travill, Senior Consultant from Plum Communications and smart meter Community Liaison Manger for the Department of Primary Industries, who was busily writing copious notes during the forum.

"Councillor Helen Patsikatheodoru from Hume City Council ably chaired proceedings. Opening keynote speaker Dr. Don Maisch of EMFacts Consultancy in Tasmania explained the conflict of interest between the setting of standards and industry interests. He stated that our standards are essentially "cooking standards, establishing that you won't get cooked". They do not look at non-thermal effects of radio frequencies. He cited numerous overseas bodies who have called for an urgent revision of standards. Calls for precaution have been issued by the Freiburg Appeal in 2012 (signed by over 10,000 doctors), American Academy of Environmental Medicine and the Council of Europe Report. Dr. Maisch pointed to Russian research which shows that in the third stage of exposure (over five years) irreparable damage to biological systems may occur. He contends that more independent research is urgently required, especially in relation to smart meters and their effect on sleep patterns.

"Nicole Bijlsma, author of Healthy Home, Healthy Family, a Building Biologistand founder of the Australian College of Environmental Studies, presented a moving account of the effects of increased electromagnetic radiation levels on the population and, in particular, on children. She said that our children are the "canaries in the mine". Nicole pointed to overseas standards for radio frequency emissions which have been set at a fraction of our standards. She called for urgent action on smart meters, saying that smart meter emissions affect the population in their home, the one place in which children were able to rest and should be safe. Nicole said that already 30,000 papers have been produced on electromagnetic radiation in the last 30 years. "By the time the data is available [on smart meter effects], it may be too late."

"The afternoon's programme included harrowing accounts by two sufferers of the health effects they had experienced from smart meter emissions. Alan Manson, a representative from the Geelong Smart Meter Action Group gave a brief overview of smart meter privacy issues and Sonja Rutherford of the Broadmeadows Progress Association explained the legal advice which has been obtained from a barrister. It was clarified that no power company has the power to force anyone to accept these new meters. Mrs Rutherford also spoke about the economic impact of smart meters with proposed 'time-of-use' tariffs. The forum concluded encouraging people to spread the awareness of the truth about smart meters by telling everyone they know. 

Feedback from the forum has been overwhelmingly positive and special thanks go to the speakers and the Glen Eira Smart Meter Action Group for organising and hosting such a professional event.

David Rosner and Gerald Markowitz discuss how the chemical industry and its powerful lobbies prevail in blocking efforts to reform outdated laws, leaving the public afloat in a soup of toxins. And Sheila Krumholz and Danielle Brian talk about the importance of transparency to our democracy, and their efforts to scrutinize who's giving money, who's receiving it, and most importantly, what's expected.

David Rosner and Gerald Markowitz on Toxic Disinformation
Science can be a battleground -- witness the politics of climate change, the teaching of evolution, the uncharted terrain of genetic modification and stem cell research, among other contentious issues. But when industries release untested chemicals into our environment -- putting profits before public health -- our children are the first to suffer. Nowhere is this more troubling than in the ongoing story of lead poisoning.

Bill talks with David Rosner and Gerald Markowitz, public health historians who've been taking on the chemical industry for years -- writing about the hazards of industrial pollution and the neglect of worker safety -- despite industry efforts to undermine them. Their latest book, Lead Wars: The Politics of Science and the Fate of America's Children, is the culmination of 20 years of research. Markowitz and Rosner warn that, for young children, there's no safe level of exposure to this dangerous toxin still lurking in millions of homes.

The authors discuss thwarted efforts to hold the lead industry accountable, failed attempts to find cheap solutions, and the cost to the future of our children. As long as the chemical industry and its powerful lobbies prevail in blocking efforts to reform outdated laws, Markowitz and Rosner say, we will continue to float in a soup of toxins -- inhaling, drinking, and absorbing chemicals that we may learn, years later, have put us all in harm's way.

"Most of us are on the Internet on a daily basis and whether we like it or not, the Internet is affecting us. It changes how we think, how we work, and it even changes our brains.

"We interviewed Nicholas Carr, the author of, "The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains," about how the Internet is influencing us, our creativity, our thought processes, our ideas, and how we think.

"The first part of this video explores the disturbing effect the Internet has been having on our brain's ability to focus. I didn't get around to watching the second part, but it's probably more things like that about the brain and stuff. . . ."

The Australian Government is continuing the rollout of "smart meters" despite the unequivocal proof that man-made electromagnetic radiation is harmful to a considerable percentage of the population and the harm to bees and wildlife is incalculable. Corporations and investors are profiting and we the people will be paying for the cost for many years to come in terms of health, privacy and other issues.
