ELECTROSMOG PROTEST on the 16th of Nov. 2011 in Brussels

> But your cellphone is not the only source of microwave radiation we are exposed to. In recent years there has been an explosive increase in our exposure to microwaves from cellphone masts (2G, 3G, UMTS,...), wireless DECT-phones, wireless DECT-baby monitors, wireless (WiFi/WLan) internet, satellites for wireless internet, etc.
>  
> In every European country the governments are allowing the (telecom) industry to install even more and new sources of pulsed microwaves such as from masts with 4G (LTE), WiMax and "smart" energy meters.
>  
> There is a direct link between the current rise of chronic disorders (Alzheimer, ADHD, fibromyalgia, CFS, insomnia, stress related disorders etc.) and the exponential rise in electrosmog during the past 10 years.
>  
> Thousands of professors, researchers and medical doctors have been warning politicians repeatedly that the current exposure to pulsed microwaves is a direct threat to public health and that new safety biologically-based standards for EMF exposures are needed.
>  
> The politicians need to realise that public health is the utmost important and act accordingly.
>  
> That's why we will unite our protest!
>  
> On the 16th of Nov. citizens from throughout Europe will protest in Brussels.
>  
> We demand "LESS ELECTROSMOG!", we protest against:

> - The EU-conference (held on the 16th and 17th of Nov.) lacks scientists with opposing views. None of the scientists of whom their research has proven that there are harmful health effects of pulsed microwave radiation are invited. We for instance refer to: L. Hardell, H. Lai, M. Kundi, F. Adlkofer, G. Oberfeld, O. Johansson, M. Havas, etc. (details of the conference: http://www.onetec.be/EMF2011)
>  
> - The European governments and their legislations that don't take into account the harmful sub-thermal health effects of EMF.
>  
> - The fact that - except in Sweden and Spain - there is still no recognition of electrohypersensitivity as a functional impairment.
>  
> - The impact of the telecom industry on research. Research sponsored by the telecom industry finds no biological effects nine times more often than research paid for by independent parties. Coincidence?

> We invite everybody to join our protest!
