Telecom Threats from D.C. / Smart Meter Suit / Stop Fast Track Wireless Without Any Safety Studies
Telecom is short for Telecommunications Industry
I want to highlight the dedicated work of one of our EMF* warriors.
*EMF stands for electric and magnetic fields.
The following has been compiled by Vicki Sievers. She has been doing education and outreach work for the EMF Safety Network for several years.
This material has been copied from her newsletter. If you’d like to join her newsletter please send an email request directly to: victoriasievers@earthlink.net
She sends an email-format newsletter/action alert about twice monthly on Sunday mornings, and welcomes new recipients through just a simple email request. Please include your hometown, because that can occasionally help with action.

🌟 LAW & PUBLIC POLICY
✳ AB 817 WILL WEAKEN PUBLIC MEETING PROTECTIONS
The First Amendment Coalition alerts the public about this measure.
AB 817 would allow all public meetings conducted by certain government bodies to take place entirely virtually, even without an emergency or specific personal needs of a given member to do so, reducing face-to-face accountability. The bill would write into the Brown Act an unprecedented level of remoteness to public meetings. For more information and a path to action: AB 817 Info/action

🌟 CHD'S EMR & WIRELESS PROGRAM ACHIEVES WINS, LAUNCHES NEW ACTON
✳ Federal law does not supersede state environmental law
WIN #1: A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge ruled that federal law does not supersede state environmental law, requiring LA County officials to conduct environmental impact reviews before telecom companies apply for permits to build wireless projects on scenic highways and historical sites. The win empowers communities to take local action to protect citizens and the environment from harmful radiofrequency (RF) radiation emitted by 5G cell towers and small cells.
✳ Los Angeles Planned “Smart City” Judge Orders Withheld Records Be Given to CHD
WIN #2: A California judge ordered the City of Los Angeles to hand over thousands of withheld records to CHD regarding the city’s planned “smart city” rollout of advanced video camera technologies that use artificial intelligence with sophisticated surveillance capabilities. The court order also recognized “residents’ right to navigate the City without digital ID” along with a host of key privacy rights, such as the city’s promise that “The apps, websites, and portals that we provide to the public will never be instruments for unauthorized spying or surveillance activities.”
✳ New Legal Challenges
New legal challenges include protection from SmartMeter mandates, accommodations for people disabled by cell tower radiation, and a wildlife protection case WINS and New Action

🌟 CELL TOWERS & SCHOOLS, RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY
✳ DETROIT PARENTS HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT SCHOOL DISTRICT'S USE OF CELL TOWER INCOME
A Detroit, Michigan, school district has 29 contracts with telecommunications companies to operate cell towers on school properties. Parents say district leaders have failed to be forthright about what’s happening with the money generated from those deals. This is the last of four excellent articles on cell towers and schools. All four parts are linked here: Schools get millions from cell tower contracts

✳ LETTERS FROM MICHIGAN REALTORS CLAIM CELL TOWERS LOWER PROPERTY VALUES
A Sotheby's realtor writes: "From extensive experience I would tell you that the (proposed) Cell Tower would negatively affect the price of the property 15-30%. Not only that, but close to 90% of my clients would refuse to consider looking at or buying the property" Another states, "The reluctance of potential buyers to invest in homes near cell towers is understandable, given concerns about aesthetic depreciation, financial loss and potential disruption to surrounding areas.

Posts from Dr. Joel Moskowitz
✳ HYBRID AND ELECTRIC CARS CAN POSE EMF EXPOSURE RISKS
Dr. Mosowitz says his webpage on this topic is his most visited. (He has recently posted two new studies.) "Hybrid and electric cars may be cancer-causing as they emit extremely low frequency (ELF) electromagnetic fields (EMF). Recent studies of the EMF emitted by these automobiles have claimed either that they pose a cancer risk for the vehicles' occupants or that they are safe."

✳ HEAD AND NECK TUMORS ASSOCIATED WITH CELLPHONE USE HAVE INCREASED SINCE 2000
"Since the year 2000, the U.S. has experienced significant increases in the age-adjusted incidence rates of four head and neck tumors associated with cell phone use, including meningioma, the most common brain tumor, and cancers of the brain (i.e., glioblastoma) and the thyroid and salivary glands."

✳ RESEARCH REINFORCES THE URGENCY TO INHIBIT THE DEPLOYMENT OF 5G, STUDY AUTHORS SAY
"The fifth generation, 5G, for wireless communication is currently deployed in Sweden as well as in many other countries. We have previously published seven case reports that include a total of 16 persons aged between 4 and 83 years that developed the microwave syndrome within a short time after being exposed to 5G base stations close to their dwellings. In all cases high radiofrequency (RF) radiation from 4G/5G was measured with a broadband meter. . . In total 41 different health issues were assessed for each person graded 0 (no complaint) to 10 (worst symptoms). Most prevalent and severe were sleeping difficulty (insomnia, waking night time, early wake-up), headache, fatigue, irritability, concentration problems, loss of immediate memory, emotional distress, depression tendency, anxiety/panic, dysesthesia (unusual touched based sensations), burning and lancinating skin, cardiovascular symptoms (transitory high or irregular pulse), dyspnea, and pain in muscles and joints. . . All these symptoms are included in the microwave syndrome. In most cases the symptoms declined and disappeared within a short time period after the studied persons had moved to a place with no 5G." https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/reveh-2024-0017/html
