Project Censored at http://www.projectcensored.org/ is dedicated to exposing and opposing news censorship.
The presentation of this year’s Top 25 censored news stories represents the collective efforts of 219 college students and 56 professors from 18 college and university campuses as well as 13 additional community evaluators.
Censored Story #14 for 2013 is entitled: “Wireless Technology a Looming Health Crisis” with a description as follows:
In a recent study published in the journal of Environmental Toxicology and Pharmacology [1], an investigation was performed to study the effects of exposing rats to radiofrequency (RF) radiation from Wi-Fi devices and to further study the possible protective role of administering an olive leaf extract to reduce the damage in liver and kidney cells of the exposed rats.
There is a disturbing trend in the United States (and probably in other countries as well) for cell towers being installed directly on school property in exchange for modest payments from the cell phone carriers.
On December 17, 2013, a school board in Pasco County, Florida voted to install a cell tower directly on school grounds of the Seven Oaks Elementary School in Wesley Chapel, Florida. Parents circulated a petition that garnered over a thousand signatures against the cell tower installation, but to no avail. Please view the short video clip/ news report below.
Lawrence Gust presents an informative slide presentation with voiceover regarding the fundamentals of electromagnetic fields. This is an expanded version of an education program offered through ElectromagneticHealth.org during a panel discussion, “How to Protect Ourselves and Growing Children from Electromagnetic Fields.”
A company called Navigant Consulting recently performed a survey [1] of 1,084 consumers in the United States on topics such as smart grids, smart meters, smart thermostats, home energy management, and demand response.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) generally categorizes agents (e.g., substances or radiation) into four (4) categories in terms of cancer causing ability:
This article will demonstrate in a step by step fashion that evidence is mounting for RF radiation being considered definitely carcinogenic. In the paragraphs that follow, information is presented showing how research data has accumulated over the past couple of years showing a progression from Group 2B to Group 2A, and finally to Group 1. In addition, evidence continues to mount regarding other types of adverse biological effects caused by RF radiation emissions, some of which are summarized in the final section of this article.
I am not sure how many of you are aware of the new book published this year by Google, Inc. The book is entitled, “The New Digital Age: Reshaping the Future of People, Nations and Business,” by Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen. [1]
The book starts out touting how the “new digital age” will bring a “better quality of life” and that “future connectivity” will make you “healthier, safer, and more engaged.” It is mentioned that a “key advancement is personalization.” You will be “able to customize your devices … to fit your needs,” and that “[p]eople will have a better way to curate their life stories…”
EUGENE, OR — The Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB), founded in 1911, is Oregon’s largest customer-owned utility and provides electricity and water to more than 86,000 homes, business, schools and other customers in Eugene, Oregon.
On October 1, 2013, EWEB Commissioners voted unanimously to move forward with an advanced metering project that takes an “opt-in” approach in which customers will choose whether to have an advanced meter or keep their existing meter.
Google-owned smartphone maker Motorola has applied for a patent for an “electronic tattoo” on people’s necks that doubles as a mobile microphone (and transceiver), lie detector, and digital display.
The tattoo would capture vibrations, or sound, directly from a user’s throat, thus eliminating background noise that so often mars conversations over mobile phones.
The sound would then be transmitted from the electronic tattoo, which has its own power supply built-in, to a nearby smartphone via Bluetooth, near-field communication, also known as NFC, or the wireless technology ZigBee.
In early November 2013, an article was posted at this website quoting a doctor who indicated that Wireless Smart Meters Can Cause Illness. This article made reference to a 92-case series documenting health effects believed to be caused by exposure to smart meter emissions.
A couple of days subsequent to the report on this website, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine released a new document entitled, “Wireless Smart Meter Case Studies,” which discloses the following information:
