An Indicator for the “Agenda” Behind Agenda 21 and Sustainability

Three Legged StoolIn writing an effective website posting, it is sometimes important to find a nugget of information that can simply drive home a point for a broader theme.  In reviewing a 150 page United Nations document published this past February 2013, I think I may have found just such an informational nugget.  The title of the Document is, “Sustainable Development Scenarios for Rio+20.”

Texas Utility Commission Staff Accuses Smart Meter Opponents with “Negative Bias” … Maybe They Should Look in the Mirror.

In December 2012, the staff of the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) published a report entitled, “Health and RF EMF from Advanced Meters.”  Incidentally, this PUCT staff document was prepared with the help of Federal tax dollars.

First of all, for the record, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has declared that radiofrequency electromagnetic fields from all RF emission sources, including from wireless smart meters, are possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).

Negative BiasIn a discussion regarding agents classified as Group 2B Carcinogens by the IARC organization, the PUCT staff stated that if “smart meter opponents” mention one group of potentially carcinogenic substances (e.g., lead and DDT) without mentioning another group of substances (e.g., coffee, pickled vegetables, talc) then it “imparts a negative bias” that may “alarm and confuse.”
