A special request from the international groups joining together to stop the LOON Project is below. This project is happening quietly and quickly, and once done will be very hard to undo. Please help by sending the press release below to your local newspapers, radios, MPs, MLAs and to anyone else you think might help spread the word. Your help is vital. I would suggest changing the title to “Congressional Corruption Threatens Canadian Health”.
Please take a moment to circulate the
press release below to news media, environmental
organizations, medical organizations, and even friends
and family. You can
use the sample email below. Directions for supporting
GUARDS can be found at our website: www.stopglobalwifi.org on the Take
Action page. They include directions for how to file
Informal Objections with the FCC, which is the only
way to have input into the permitting process. And,
information to pass on to your Congressperson.
Congress is key to protecting our planet since only
they can take the actions needed in the U.S.A. One of
which is to put the EPA in charge of protecting health
and the environment, as the EPA tried to do in the
past. Right now the FCC is in charge of both
promoting wireless technology and protecting your
health from wireless technology, an obvious conflict.

Thank you.

Dear Sir
or Madam,
Please
read the press release below.
Eight
companies are planning to launch more than 11,000
satellites for global WiFi coverage - a microwave
radiation based technology. An action group composed
of citizens worldwide—Global Union Against Radiation
Deployment from Space (GUARDS)— contends that these
projects, which include projects by SpaceX, Facebook,
and Google’s Project Loon, violate important human
rights conventions due to the serious detrimental
biological effects and non-consenting exposures which
will result. This global union contends that decades
of congressional corruption has resulted in a lack of
protections to the public.
Thank you
for your attention to this important issue.

Congressional
Corruption Threatens American (Canadian) Health
Technology, aerospace, and tel ecommunications corporations a re all rushing to saturate the planet with
microwave radiation—a class 2B carcinogen. Microwave radiati on is the invisible platform t hat allows
modern wireless devices, inclu ding cellphones and WiFi to co mmunicate. Microwave (MW) radi ation is
part of
the radio frequency (RF)
portion of
the electromagnetic spectrum.
A citizen action group—Global Union Against Radiation Deploy ment from Space (GUARDS)— contends that these projects, which include projects by
SpaceX, Facebook, and Google’s Project
Loon, violate important human rights conventions due to the seriou s biological effects and invol untary
nature of
exposures. Catherine
Kleiber, a GUARDS member, put the blame squarely on
the US House and Senate: “Congress, under pressure
from industry lobbyists ended EPA research into
health effects of radiofrequency radiation and
passed the Telecommunications Act prohibiting any
state, municipal or citizen from questioning,
objecting to or refusing any telecommunications
project for health or environmental reasons. Our
legislators could have said no but gave in to
industry as usual.”
Projects to launch and replace thousands of
satellites to provide
worldwide Internet service will blanket
the earth with harmful pulsed microwave radiation, destroy ozone and w orsen climate change due
to the emission of
black soot from so
many rockets. Combined with th e detrimental environmental ef fects RF
radiation has on
both flora and fauna, includin g bees, these global wireless projects may lead to environmental
devastation and even widesprea d starvation.
RF
radiation limits are now
the sole responsibility of
the Federal Communications Com mission (FCC),
which is the subject of a recent report published by
Harvard University’s Edmond J.
Safra Centerfor
Ethics—Captured Agency: How
the Federal Communications Com mission Is
Dominated by
the Industries It Presumably R egulates by
Norm Alster. On
February 7,
2014, in reference to these veryRF
radiation limits, the U.S.
Department of
Interior (DOI)
stated,
“the electromagnetic radiation standards used by the Federal Communicat ions Commission (FCC) continue to be based on
thermal heating, a
criterion now nearly 30
years out of date and
inapplicable today.” This is u nfortunate for
the American
public, but not surprising, si nce the FCC is not a health an d safety agency and has no
in-house personnel
qualified to research and set RF
radiation safety limits.
In 1993,
the Environmental Protection A gency (EPA) wrote a scathing c riticism of
the FCC’s proposed
RF/MW radiation limits . In
June 1995,
the EPA announced to the FCC t hat it would be
releasing its
own RF/MW radiation safety limits in early 1996. An
internal EPA memorandum regard ing a meeting
with the FCC and the NTIA make s it clear that the EPA was al so initiating a process
to develop initial
regulations pertaining to chro nic RF/MW radiation exposures and non-thermal RF/MW radiatio n effects within a two-year time frame. But, after industry lobbying, on
September 13,
1995 the EPA Radiation
Division that drafted the regu lations was de-funded by the Senate Appropriations Comm ittee, which also
wrote, “The Committee believes EPA should not engage in EMFa ctivities”.
In 1996,
telecom industry lobbyists suc ceeded in getting The 1996 Tel ecommunications Act passed. Th is
Act prohibited states, municip alities and citizens from obje cting to the placement and
construction of
wireless communications facili ties (antennas) for
reasons of
health or
the environment and assigned t he
FCC to be the sole regulator o f
“safety” related to wireless R F/MW radiation-emitting techno logy.
“It is time for Congress to t ake their responsibility to pr otect the health and
environmental security of Amer icans seriously and
to put the EPA in charge of se tting RF radiation
safety limits that will
truly protect the American pub lic. Congress must stop these dangerous projects that intend to irradiate the e ntire continent with RF radiat ion before they start. Non-wir eless Internet
and communication technologies are available and
can always be improved.”
said Marcey Kliparchuk a spokesperson for GUARDS.
In the years since the EPA was pr evented from developing biolog ically-based RF
radiation exposure
limits, millions of Americans have begun to experience effec ts that are well documented in the
medical literature to result from expo sure to radiation emitted by
wireless technology—including headache,
sleepiness, cognitive impairme nt, fatigue, depression, anxie ty, facial flushing, skin rash ,asthma, cardiac
arrhythmia, easy bruising, inf ertility, insomnia, neurologic al disease and cancers ( breast, lung, brain,
lymphoma, leukemia, melanoma, and others).
In the culmination of a process begun in 1999, The N ational Institute of
Environmental Health Sciences
finally contracted in August 2 005
to have toxicology research pe rformed to assess the cancer r isk
and other biological effects of
wireless radiation in lab anim als. The results have still no t been released
years after completion of the research.
Over 200
scientists researching the biological and health
effects of exposure to radiation from wireless devices and other sources of
EMF have submitted a formal Ap peal to the United Nations bec ause“Numerous
recent scientific publications have shown that EMF
affects living organisms at levels well below most
international and national guidelines. Effects
include increased cancer risk, cellular stress,
increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages,
structural and functional changes of the
reproductive system, learning and memory deficits,
neurological disorders, and negative impacts on
general well-being in humans. Damage goes well
beyond the human race, as there is growing evidence
of harmful effects to both plant and animal life.”
GUARDS is an
international coalition against global WiFi from
space, a complex technology of radiation and toxic
chemicals endangering all life on Earth.
