Pledging Allegiance To The Corporations

California Senate Bill 649 Vetoed by Governor Jerry Brown

It was an answer to many, many prayers.  And the results of the hard work of many, many people, and many, many activists.

SB 649 would have allowed rapid deployment of microwave-radiation-emitting-mini-cell-tower-devices quite literally everywhere throughout the state of California.  Other states have quietly passed similar laws, or are in the process.

That's probably what "driverless cars" entail as well, a very dense infrastructure, completely blanketing us in electrosmog.

The FCC is wanting to "streamline" the permitting process for this very dense wireless infrastructure, making it easier to install microwave-radiation-emitting-mini-cell-tower-devices everywhere.  SB 649 was probably an answer to telecom's prayers.  But it was vetoed late Sunday night by Governor Jerry Brown, a politician and a lawyer.  

Before you celebrate, you must read his letter.

His reasons to veto this bill are weak.

This is only a "pause"

This bill is not "dead" and could rear its ugly head once again.

It appears that Governor Brown is still pledging his allegiance to "innovated technology" being deployed "rapidly and efficiently", though "more balanced"?  What does that mean?  "More balanced"?

Does it mean health and safety will no longer be ignored?  Does it mean that years and years of research will be acknowledged?  Does it mean the people who have become sensitive to the growing blanket of electrosmog will be recognized?

Massive wireless infrastructure has never been experienced before in our history.  And there's lots of evidence warranting the precautionary approach. Yet profit is usurping people, so far. 

Governor Brown vetoed rapid deployment of dense wireless infrastructure this time around.  But it's not time to celebrate, because we're not out of the dark yet.  

We've only just begun.  

And it takes a nation.
