Microwave sickness is becoming more common as wireless radiation exposure increases in our environment. FCC safety guidelines are inadequate & do not protect public health. They do not consider long-term exposure to pulsed modulated non-ionizing wireless radiation at non-thermal levels. Cumulative daily radiation exposure is associated with serious health effects. This I know.
Allegedly... I'm sorry. He said. I'm sorry about installing this radiation emitting device outside your home. It's my job. And I'm paid well to do it. But. And there is. A "but." But I know... Radiation in our environment, AKA "electrosmog"... It's making people sick. Animals too. Yeah, I know. But I'm sorry. It's my job. And I'm paid well. To do it. * * * [Caption on the image from HERE: In the Puranas it was predicted that toward the end of Kali Yuga humanity would be driven to acts of madness.

"Just because ten-thousand flies eat sh*t doesn't mean you should."
I was reminded of this recently when someone mentioned that other states (besides Michigan) were passing small cell antenna infrastructure legislation.
Just because other states have passed similar forms of cookie-cutter legislation that benefits telecommunications companies at the expense of the citizens of the state, doesn't mean we should.
But "we" did.
And by "expense" I mean not only monetarily, but we also pay with our health because wireless technology has repeatedly been proven harmful to humans and the environment.
The People of Michigan did NOT enact Public Acts 365 and 366 (formerly SB 637 and 894).
The people of Michigan, for the most part, didn't even KNOW about SB 637 and 894 thanks to our public media that apparently didn't think a law that strips the citizens of their rights to health, safety, and welfare was newsworthy enough for headlines. Or that stripping local authorities of revenue and control of public right of way space was newsworthy enough either.
However, it was included at the bottom of an article about a rapist and child custody case. Not exactly where most people would look for an announcement of groundbreaking legislation with extensive ramifications.
The people of Michigan did not enact these small cell antenna laws. The 2018 Michigan House of Representatives, Senators and Governor enacted them, and thereby gave telecom companies the right to install their equipment just about anywhere in public right of ways without our knowledge or consent.
So just because other states also passed similar legislation, and just because other states are not looking at a repeal to these horrible laws, doesn't mean we shouldn't.
To protect the health, safety, and welfare of the people of Michigan, we must repeal these laws and place a moratorium on further installations of small cell antennas until safe levels of pulsed modulated non-ionizing wireless radiation have been established for long-term exposure at non-thermal levels by qualified experts with absolutely NO conflicts of interest.
Which means NOT the FCC (Federal Communications Commission).
"There is. Just a small one. It might kill you... This is an experiment on humanity and that this should be called a crime under international law... Science shows that this causes DNA damage, cancer, among other things..."
"Wireless radiation has biological effects. Period. This is no longer a subject for debate when you look at PubMed and the peer-review literature. These effects are seen in all life forms; plants, animals, insects, microbes. In humans we have clear evidence of cancer now. There is no question. We have evidence of DNA damage, cardiomyopathy, which is the precursor of congestive heart failure, neuropsychiatric effects..."
Michele Greenstein:
"There's going to be a cell tower in front of every few houses..."
Dr. David Carpenter:
"There's been no safety testing of 5G. The reason I think that it's dangerous is that there isn't any specific information to 5G, but we know that radiofrequency radiation of 3G and 4G are associated with a whole variety of different human health effects. Everyone is going to be exposed to radiofrequency radiation more continuously and at higher intensities, and that's going to cause more human disease."
Michele Greenstein:
"And the fact is the government is completely not jumping on the ball because of the Telecommunications Act of 1996 which says that no state or local government can regulate the placement of any cell towers regardless of environmental effects. That has really laid the groundwork for this toxic infrastructure... And the FCC, which has no health expertise itself, is completely captured by the wireless industry..."
"You know who hasn't been fooled? The insurance companies. They are not selling any product liability policies that cover cell phone radiation..."
"Scientists, environmental groups, doctors and citizens around the world are appealing to all governments to halt telecommunications companies’ deployment of 5G (fifth generation) wireless networks, which they call 'an experiment on humanity and the environment that is defined as a crime under international law.' Research has shown that wireless radiation can cause DNA damage, neuropsychiatric effects and other health problems. RT America’s Michele Greenstein joins Rick Sanchez to discuss."

David Carpenter, MD Director, Institute for Health and the Environment University of Albany, NY
Professor David Carpenter, MD is a world renowned public health expert, including the issue of electromagnetic fields and wireless radiation. He is currently the Director of the Institute for Health and Environment, in the University of Albany, a collaborating center for the World Health Organization. He is also a Professor of Environmental Health Sciences within the School of Public Health at the University at Albany.
Previously, he was Chairman of the Neurobiology Department of Armed Forces Radiobiology Research Institute at the Defense Nuclear Agency in Washington, DC. He was also the Director of Wadsworth Center for Laboratories and Research of the New York State Department of Health, the third largest public health laboratory in the US after NIH and CDC.
He holds several research positions including at the National Institutes of Mental Health. Dr. Carpenter’s research initially was basic neurobiology, and more recently has primarily been the study of human disease resulting from exposure to environmental contaminants including non-ionizing radiation.
Dr Carpenter is a Harvard trained physician and researcher. He is author of more than 350 scientific papers; has edited five books; and he is the Editor in Chief of two scientific journals.
Prof. Carpenter’s work on Non-Ionizing radiation started when he arrived in Albany in 1980 as the Director of the Wadsworth Laboratories of the New York State Department of Health, he was given the responsibility of administering a program to determine whether there were adverse human health effects of electromagnetic fields (EMFs), initiated because of concern of hazards from high voltage powerlines. A 5 million dollar research program was begun, and when finished in 1987 the program concluded that while there were effects of EMFs on many organ systems, a particular concern was an increased incidence of leukemia in children living in home with elevated magnetic fields. After that time Dr. Carpenter became for the spokesperson for New York State on issues related to EMFs. He has continued to evaluate research in this area, and has edited two books and written several review articles on the subject. He testified before the President’s Cancer Panel in 2009 on human health effects of both power line and radiofrequency EMFs from a variety of sources, particularly from cell phones. He is the Co-Editor of the Bioinitiative Report (www.bioinitiative.org), published first in 2007 and revised in 2012. This is a comprehensive review of the effects of EMFs.
Gov. Snyder has signed legislation that strips control of public right of way space from local authorities while giving telecom companies billions of dollars worth of Michigan's real estate space for a pittance.
The dense network of "small cells" will exponentially increase levels of microwave radiofrequency (RF) radiation in neighborhoods all across Michigan. RF radiation has clear carcinogenic effects (see the National Institute of Health - National Toxicology Program cellphone radiation study peer review results released earlier this year).
This legislation has met opposition from the citizens of Michigan since the very first hearing in Michigan's senate on November 2, 2017. By signing this legislation into law, Snyder has shown the people of Michigan how, once again, industry is more important than the health and wellness of the people.
Also, Michigan news agencies have done an excellent job ignoring the grassroots resistance to Michigan's 5G bills.
5G Wireless Technology: Millimeter Wave Health Effects
by Joel M. Moskowitz, Ph.D. Director Center for Family and Community Health School of Public Health University of California, Berkeley
The emergence of 5G, fifth-generation telecommunications networks, has been in the news lately because the wireless industry has been pushing controversial legislation at the state level to expedite the deployment of this technology. The legislation would block the rights of local governments and their citizens to control the installation of cellular antennas in the public “right-of-way.” Cell antennas may be installed on public utility poles every 10-20 houses in urban areas. According to the industry, as many as 50,000 new cell sites will be required in California alone.
Although many major cities and newspapers have opposed this legislation, the potential health risks from the proliferation of new cellular antenna sites have been ignored. These cell antennas will expose the population to new sources of radio frequency radiation including MMWs.
5G will employ low- (0.6 GHz - 3.7 GHz), mid- (3.7 – 24 GHz), and high-band frequencies (24 GHz and higher). In the U.S., the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has allocated “low-band” spectrum at 0.6 GHz (e.g., 600 MHz), “mid-band” spectrum in the 3.5 GHz range, and 11 GHz of “high-band” frequencies including licensed spectrum from 27.5-28.35 GHz and 37-40 GHz, as well as unlicensed spectrum from 64-71 GHz which is open to all wireless equipment manufacturers.
Prior to widespread deployment, major cell phone carriers are experimenting with new technologies that employ “high-band” frequencies in communities across the country. The “high-band” frequencies largely consist of millimeter waves (MMWs), a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths of one to ten millimeters and frequencies ranging from 30 to 300 GHz (or billions of cycles per second).
The characteristics of MMWs are different than the “low-band” (i.e., microwave) frequencies which are currently in use by the cellular and wireless industries. MMWs can transmit large amounts of data over short distances. The transmissions can be directed into narrow beams that travel by line-of-sight and can move data at high rates (e.g., up to 10 billion bits per second) with short lags (or latencies) between transmissions. The signals are blocked by buildings, and foliage can absorb much of their energy. Also, the waves can be reflected by metallic surfaces. Although antennas can be as small as a few millimeters, “small cell” antenna arrays may consist of dozens or even hundreds of antenna elements.
What does research tell us about the biologic and health effects of millimeter waves?
Millimeter waves (MMWs) are mostly absorbed within 1 to 2 millimeters of human skin and in the surface layers of the cornea. Thus, the skin or near-surface zones of tissues are the primary targets of the radiation. Since skin contains capillaries and nerve endings, MMW bio-effects may be transmitted through molecular mechanisms by the skin or through the nervous system.
"...there are a number of privacy and health concerns related to the roll-out of 5G technology. This technology involves putting in what they call small cells. The small cell waves only travel about 500 feet, which means they need to be installed nearly everywhere..."
“…Julie Watts asks the question you’re not supposed to
ask: Are there legitimate health
concerns?"
Why are you not supposed to ask that question?
The Telecom Act of 1996 made it illegal to refuse the
installation of telecom equipment for health reasons (radio frequency emissions). Telecom can, will, and have sued us if we do.
Why do you think it was necessary to include that in the Telecom Act of 1996?
Maybe because cell phones were released with NO pre-market
testing, and, after-market testing plus the experience of perhaps thousands of
people, show that cell phone use can lead to, or contribute to, cancer,
especially cancers where the cell phones are held or carried.
In fact, a highly credentialed cancer researcher recently released a statement definitely linking cell phone radiation to cancer.
However, in the video above, California Assembly Member, Bill Quirk, former NASA scientist, says, “I know scientifically that putting up these… cell towers
are safe.” Later in the interview he admits that he is
motivated by votes, (not health or safety).
What we really need is actual human safety testing.
That is why I propose all the people in government who want
to support 5G small cell towers and DAS nodes in public right of ways, to have them installed every 500 feet
INSIDE their property first, and get back with us in a generation.
“The bottom line is that caution is often less convenient,
