National Geographic Channel – Sell Out to 9/11 Conspiracy Coverup – EMRTC is a Major Government Contractor

I was extremely disappointed in the show that aired on National Geographic, “9/11: Science or Conspiracy”. I read a while back that National Geographic would be giving an un-biased view into the events of 9/11, putting the “Truthers” (as they continuously and mind-numbingly called them) against the official story, side by side. It actually started out as a decent showing, but about 20 minutes in, I realized that this was going to be another lame attempt to debunk the conspiracy theories.

The supposed “unbiased” and “thorough” documentary failed to cover most of the alarming evidence, including Building 7, insider trading, Tim Osman aka Bin Laden the CIA Informant, advance warnings, NORAD war games, Norman Mineta’s testimony, and witnesses on site who heard and felt the many explosions from below the buildings. The narrative in the documentary became so predictable, that I actually couldn’t wait to find out who EMRTC (Energetic Materials Research and Testing Center) was really working for. EMRTC was the company responsible for creating most of the irrelevant tests used to attempt to debunk the truthers.

After only two minutes of putting Google to work, it became quite clear. EMRTC is obviously a heavy government contractor, with severe conflicts of interest. Of course they would never do any test or experiment that could name the US Government liable. Here are some random pieces of information that were plucked from the internet:

(I think it’s also worthy to point out that the National Geographic Channel is primarily owned by CRF member Rupert Murdock, affiliated with Fox News.)

“EMRTC is a longstanding contractor for the U.S. government, researching explosives and weapons technology since WWII, working for DOD, Justice, DOE and numerous other federal agencies.” http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P3-1364052801.html
Found a photo on Wikimedia Commons, lists author as: “EMRTC, prepared under US Government Department of Defence contract”

Under the “Licensing” section of this photo it reads: “This work is in the public domain in the United States because it is a work of the United States Federal Government under the terms of Title 17, Chapter 1, Section 105 of the US Code. See Copyright.”

Other random internet text: “EMRTC supports the efforts of Homeland Security’s Office of Domestic Preparedness by providing emergency response training.”

“A request made by EMRTC to purchase 13 new vehicles for a total cost of $259069 under an existing state government contract.”


I also surfed the net a while longer, and found out I wasn’t the only one disappointed in National Geographic for their government shill work. Here are some quotes of what others had to say: (Quotes can be found at: http://ngccommunity.nationalgeographic.com/ngcblogs/inside-ngc/2009/08/911-science-and-conspiracy-directors-diary.html#ixzz0Ps0SrTSu)


“As I patiently viewed the program it had become abundantly apparent that this show would be a very slanted and one-sided. The “four experiments that can forensically simulate the 9/11 attacks” were if nothing else feeble. The National Geographic Channel should be ashamed for airing this program. It is a slap in the face not only to the people that lost their lives that day, their families and anyone who has a modicum of intelligence. How very disappointing, I expected more from National Geographic.”-Jo



“I'm pretty angry I wasted my time watching this program. I agree with earlier comments that the "science" models used in the program are totally weak.” -BabyDoc963

“Very upset about the program. NatGeo failed to answer anything except just show the same tests that have been shown for the past 8 years, and left out everything that still cant be answered by "officials"; building 7 collapse, planes vanishing for the first time in history after a crash, the loud explosions heard at both ground zero and the pentagon, the phone calls made in air with 100% perfect connectivity, Presidents Bushes slip ups, the stock options put on American Airlines and Boeing... Those are just a small fraction of what I want answers for .. NatGeo , you have just fueled the minds of the people who still want answers.” -tymel YOUNG

“A few things I find contradicting or missing from this program.
1. Jet fuel melts the steel and makes it weak enough to give out, but thermite does not. They have one piece of steel with many weights on it over a pool of jet fuel for one test. Then they use an entirely different style of steel and the way it sits in the thermite test.
2. They don't even mention the 3rd building that fell (building 7). It just fell on its own?
3. They mention how difficult it would be to conduct a controlled explosion, meaning it would be extremely difficult to bring a heavily built building down. 100 guys 3 months of working. Yet 2 Jets can hit and bring 2 separate (actually 3 - see #2) buildings down better than the group that did the controlled explosion on an 8-story dormitory.
4. The Pentagon - why was there no video shown (other than the one piece that shows nothing, then an explosion) in one of the cities that has the most video surveillance in the US?
Hopefully this makes people think and do some research. The 9-11 Commission spent less money on this investigation then the one that was done on Bill Clinton getting a bj.”

“More garbage as usual from National Geographic. You can keep spewing out your lies and propaganda but nobody's buying it anymore. I turned you off long ago.”-nothwind

“I'm disturbed that Nat Geo aired this program. While I agree that many intepretations are open to speculation, my issue comes from the Pentagon recreation. I didn't feel the model was built properly to scale and the explosives placed within the model, instead of outside, was a pointless example. If you place an explosive into a confined space, of course it will obliterate it. But if you place it on the outside, where a supposed hit could land, you will have a different outcome. Then there is the tail wing, which was far larger that the initial hole. Where was it? We had debris, but no real evidence of a plane crash in my opinion.
The entire program was an attack on the conspiracy theory and those that support it. I watched a program the other day while at work on PBS that had a lot of interesting info. Initial reports said a missile had hit the Pentagon. They announced the collapse of Building 7 before it ever happened; it had very minor structural damage. Multiple reports of hearing an explosion before the first plane ever hit the WTC. Why where these not addressed in this program? If you can't take all the supporting evidence and address it, of course the theory will not stand!”
-kalislahren

“I'm really dissapointed that NGC used the word "Science" in the title of this show. If you call Purdue University's computer graphics and the demonstrations that were done on this show in the desert "science" then we have made a mockery of what is known as the scientific processes that are well established. I'm sure real scientists that know these processes haven't stop laughing yet. When I watched the DVD documentary called "Blueprint For Truth" which you can see at ae911truth.org you can see that careful consideration was taken to use established scientific processes to explain the destruction of the twin towers and Building 7. This shows major purpose was to explain away the 9/11 Truth Movement's legitimate questions that contradict the governments official version. I bet if you follow the money that NGC gets to make these kind of shows it will take you to some rather interesting people and corporations. I have to give credit to Richard Gage, Dylan Avery and David Ray Griffin because they did their best considering they didn't have any control of the final editing version of this show. Now that's two shows that NGC did that were fixed for the official version. That means they got two strikes against them. I don't even want to see the third strike.” -Matthew_naus

“This is the absolute worst thing I've seen NGC do. I don’t even know where to begin...I won’t even try.”-FlintLock76

"The Honey Pot"

Just want to throw a little theory... speculation... ideas out there... you know, think outside the box... What if the 9/11 Truth movement is meant to be one massive distraction, to keep the patriots busy, while something much larger is being planned? I'm in the middle of reading Mike Ruppert's "Crossing the Rubicon" where he makes mention of an intelligence term called "the honey pot". It's a piece of evidence or a source that is meant to attract all of the attention, (draw in the bees) eventually being discredited in the end.

Well what if the entire 9/11 fiasco, on a much higher and deeper level, is a part of the plan, to destabilize America, to put the people against each other, weaken the nation, to assist in the New World Order agenda? The Elite are well aware that one of their biggest obstacles to overcome is America and it's Constitution. We also know that the way you destroy an enemy is by planting seeds of information, seeds of dissent amongst it's members, dividing the enemy up in as many ways as possible, as explained in the Art of War, and practiced many times on other countries by our intelligence agencies in the past.

At the very highest levels of intelligence, they could be allowing this movement to grow, allowing people like Alex Jones, Richard Gage, Mark Dice, and Stephen Jones to continue pushing the movement... while the lower minions of the elite make feeble attempts to fight the truth. By allowing this to continue, they are able to keep attention away from something else being planned, and weaken their biggest enemy by creating a divided nation. "Patriot" vs. "Sheep" will become new labels in the long line of separatist terms used by media and society, along with "Rich" vs. "Poor", "Christian" vs. "Muslim" and "Left" vs. "Right". Even within the movement itself there are multiple divisions, with LIHOP vs. MIHOP (Let It Happen On Purpose vs. Made It Happen On Purpose) and people called "No-Planers".

This doesn't mean I don't support all of the work that the 9/11 Truth Movement is doing. These patriots actually inspire me with their bravery, and the progress they are making is astounding. My journey of discovery actually started with 9/11, and I will always have respect to all "truth pushers" everywhere. I only want to remind everyone that the enemy is much smarter than most of us think, that most likely we haven't seen the true men behind the curtain, and the big boys always play chess. Of course this idea of the 9/11 truth movement being a tool of the New World Order could be thinking too far outside the box, but it is just a possibility I wanted to throw out there... a theory... some speculation... an idea...

Keep thinking, never stop learning, don't get stagnant, continue pressing on for the highest and deepest truths...

Prophet, Psychic, or Just Informed? Swine Flu update.

Well it's obvious that I don't make blog posts very often... however I found it pretty uncanny that I made the post below about a possible "Biological Attack" two weeks before the stories of Swine Flu rocked the world. I have been surprising my wife and family quite frequently, by predicting major news events before they happen, such as the economic problems, a rash of shootings several months back, and the demonizing of the internet recently. Am I psychic? Am I a prophet? Not at all, not even close. I just read and pay attention to the clues that are hidden in plain sight.

The corporate controlled media is becoming too predictable, obviously following a specific agenda, and attempting to guide public opinion on a specific path. The sad part is that they also seem to be a step behind, as the alternative media, who have no major political or corporate interests and can freely report issues without worrying about the future impact, are reporting the major issues before mainstream media can get through their own red tape. Either they will die a slow death, or they will find a way to control the alternative media. The future of our information sources will be involved in a major battle indeed.

As an update to the Swine Flu, there seems to be a division among many sources. On one hand we have people saying that the fatality rate is way too low, that this is just a scare tactic to scare the public, socialize the medicine, reap profits from vaccinations, and set up more legislation for control. The other side of the coin is scared to death that this is the big one, that it will mutate and go out of control, possible combining with the avian flu, eventually triggering the global pandemic that could kill millions. One thing they both have in common, is that this epidemic was manufactured, and I totally agree as I was able to write my previous post before the event took place. They all also agree, that any manufactured vaccination could potentially be more dangerous than the virus itself. This is especially scary considering the crimes of Baxter in the past, sending out contaminated medicines on more than one occassion.

Personally, I believe in both theories. It is almost a certainty that we will face some type of larger pandemic in the coming years whether from avian flu or something else, and I believe this scare was manufactured to set up the policy and procedures to deal with the bigger problems coming down the line...

The Next False Flag Terrorist Attack, Possible Biological Weapon

I intend to write up a more thorough report soon, but for now I wanted to make some notes. From various personal sources, as well as information being obtained from various sites like Infowars.com, Rense.com, and WhatReallyHappened.com, I have come to the strong conclusion that there is not much time left before the "terrorists" strike again. And there seems to be a strong possibility that the threat will be some type of biological attack.

When I used to think about the "Fema Coffins" stored all over the country, (hundreds of thousands of black plastic sealable containers purchased by Fema, Burial Vaults made by PolygaurdVaults.com) I used to wonder, "if they were going to kill a bunch of people, why go through the trouble of putting them in a plastic container? Why not just dig a big ditch and dump all the bodies in a mass grave?" Then it eventually hit me... those burial vaults are air-tight, perfect to use to avoid some type of biological hazard.

There are several other little bits of evidence I have come across lately, such as Baxter having contaminated their flu vaccine with bird flu, the forced inoculations across the globe, and many theories about a H5N1 pandemic in the next year or two. There is also the possibility that they will blame this on Iran, as I've seen stories of how Iran hired Russian Bio-weapon engineers a long time ago (can't remember where I read that), and of course many of our leaders have been beating the Iran war drum for a while now.

Another thing that comes to mind is the report of several meetings between FEMA officials and a county representative just outside of Chicago, where they were asking him many strange questions, such as, "how would you handle mass graves, determine a plan to give vaccines to all of your residents in 24 hours, where are all of your public facilities, etc." Combine this information with the "FEMA Concentration Camp" stories all over the net, and it all just seems to make sense. I've seen video clips with the signs on the fences that say "Red" or "Blue", and that would make sense to label people with varying levels of biological contamination. (As a side note, I think mainstream media is going to attempt to debunk the fema camps soon, by the same government shills at popular mechanics who tried to debunk 9/11 truth, and failed miserably. Do your own research and don't believe these liars...)

As far as the threat occurring soon, usually what has happened in the past, is when the public starts gaining momentum in waking up to the rampant corruption, (as evidenced now by the multitude of websites, organizations, tea parties, and independent radio talk shows) the powers that be usually provide a great distraction, such as a war or terrorist attack, to throw everyone off. I also have some personal sources, as well as my own hunches, that danger is imminent, and a disaster will befall America soon.

Know Your Enemy - Avoid "Group-think" Mentality

One great advantage of learning to play poker or chess at an advanced level, is the psychological edge you gain which can be applied in many situations. You are taught to know what your opponent is thinking, to ponder what your opponent thinks you are thinking, and so on. This is the true art of any competition, knowing the art of deception as your greatest weapon, thus staying one step ahead of your opponent at all times. Manipulating the perception of your opponent is critical to winning any major conflict, competition, or war. This knowledge has greatly assisted me in seeing past the first level of mainstream media hype, allowing insight into the hidden agendas behind the scenes.

Although it feels good, don’t give in. Don’t fall in line with everyone else. Don’t jump on the band wagon. Remember to do your own research, and form your own opinions on every issue. Recently there seems to be a shift in the corporate mainstream media position, suddenly pitting the average American against Big Brother Government, Main Street vs. Wall Street, the rich against the poor. You see the headlines and hear the keywords all over the place. This is just a distraction, as always, to hide the truth and the real problems with the economy. With the blame-game and finger-pointing in full effect, very few are acknowledging the true source of the issues which have always been the “Federal Reserve Banking Cartel”, and the methods they employ to generate money out of thin air and enslave entire nations. This fractional reserve debt based system was destined for failure, and they knew this from the beginning.

It may feel good to blame the government and the corrupt politicians, as we know the political system in this country has been broken for a while now. But the politicians are not in charge here. The politicians and rich Wall Street bankers are not the source of the problems, they just knew how to play the game, and they exploited it for every penny they could get. To find the true source of the problem, you must look into who created “the game”… a game where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer… a game that ends where only a select few come out ahead, and the rest are left to suffer. The game was created by founders of the Federal Reserve Bank, along with the elites at the very top of this society… the aristocratic families which have passed down power for generations.

This is only a reminder. Before you go off down the street with your picket signs, pitch forks and torches, be sure you know who your true enemy is. Don’t just fall in line blindly behind everyone else. Be aware that they are playing an intellectual game of chess, planning and anticipating every move of the general public. They know what your next move will be, and are planning for it. They created the script, and are using the media to influence your next play. Don’t believe the hype. Analyze your opponent, study the game, think for yourself, and stay one step ahead at all times.

Mainstream Media Manipulation and Tactics

I have to admit, my life will never be the same again. I cannot go back to living a “normal” life. I have learned too much about the rampant corruption in almost every major institution in our lives, and I refuse to accept mediocrity, lies and outright inhumanity as being “just the way it is”. Once you discover the truth about the world, why thousands of children are dying every day of starvation and preventable diseases, not to mention countless other horrendous crimes against humanity, you look at the world in a whole new light. The rose colored glasses come off. Somewhere along the line you “wake up”, “take the red pill”, “fall down the rabbit hole”, and realize that the world you see on TV and read about in the newspapers, is all one big orchestrated fantasy, to keep you distracted and entertained, while something sinister brews behind the scenes…

At the height of this problem, is the sad truth of what has happened to the major news networks and publications in the world. In the media industry, power has been consolidated and centralized into a handful of extremely large multinational corporations (such as GE, Viacom, Disney, and Time Warner), who no longer work for the people, but their own selfish corporate and political interests. A quote from Danny Schechter, former CNN and ABC news producer, summarizes the situation: “We falsely think of our country as a Democracy, when it in fact has evolved into a ‘Media-ocracy’. Where a media which is supposed to check political abuse, is now a part of the political abuse.” The truth of the matter is, at the very top of these corporations, they are able manage our perception of reality by filtering the news and using spin and propaganda to communicate the issues in ways that suit their corporate and political agendas.

By controlling the media, the “corporate elite” of the world have a fine-tuned weapon to use against the general public. One of the tactics which they have mastered, in order to move their agendas forward, is called, “Problem, Reaction, Solution”. When it comes to their specific agenda, they set a specific goal. For example, a goal might be to “record and analyze every phone call in the world”. They know that the citizens would not willingly go along with this idea, as it violates their privacy rights. So a specific problem or crisis is then secretly manufactured and executed (usually blamed on their enemies), and hyped by the media, until the public demands a solution. Then they are able to swoop in and offer the exact solution which fits their original goal, without anyone ever knowing the full truth. This exact situation is what happened with terrorism and 9/11. Since 9/11, the elite banking interests, the military industrial complex, and parts of our own government, were able to use the media to accomplish their ultimate goals, which were to:

Seize control of the opium fields in Afghanistan which produces most the heroin in the world (a multi-billion dollar industry)
Build oil and gas pipelines through Afghanistan
Award outrageous construction contracts to Halliburton and KBR
Eliminate Saddam Hussein and take control of Iraq, establishing many permanent military bases in the Middle East
Reap massive profits from loans and weapons which are needed for countries at war
Pass new legislation which allows them to control and violate all Constitutional rights of the American people, in the name of safety and security
Exponentially expand the power and spending of the US Government

There are probably several other goals that I am unaware of. However, once you learn about the true agenda, (primarily to gain control of the entire world), you see the entire “problem, reaction, solution” game being played on the news everyday. You see every story in a whole new light. Here are some things to keep an eye on in the media:

They will hype more and more shootings and violence, in order to pass legislation on gun control, so the American people can never fight back against their corrupt government. They will also use this to justify bringing the military on the streets, moving forward into a fascist “Police State”.

They will hype stories like the “Octo-mom”, to get people accustomed to the government interfering with your personal lives, while also working on their population reduction agenda.


They will hype more and more internet security threats, in order to control the spread of information on the internet, and restrict freedom of speech against their agenda

They will continue to point fingers back and forth between left and right, Republicans and Democrats, rich and poor, to keep us separated and unorganized, so we can never unite and fight back.


They will continue to focus on scandals, fashion, gossip and sports to keep us thoroughly distracted and entertained so we never learn the truth.

They will focus on missing children, in order to eventually use tracking devices implanted in our clothes, IDs, and eventually in our bodies, to track your every move.


They will focus on terrorism, in order to maintain control and remove more of your civil rights and liberties, in the name of security.

They will focus on dangerous animals and a violent mother nature, to keep you indoors and glued to the TV, in perpetual fear of the world, so that you demand the security and protection of Big Brother


They will hype the global warming crisis, to implement carbon taxes and provide a common threat to unite the world for the New World Order

They will hype the economic problems, so they can create a new global regulator of the financial markets, and create a new currency.


They will hype more and more problems with the food supply, so they can implement more restrictions on farming and agriculture, forcing small local farmers out of business, allowing them to fully control the food supply of the world.

Keep your eyes peeled and your minds open, ladies and gentlemen. What you are witnessing is a giant show, an orchestrated reality, which seeks to keep you in the dark, unable to piece together their ultimate agenda. The puzzle pieces are obvious and are displayed in plain sight, for those willing to think outside of the box, connect the dots, and observe the prison being created around us all. As they say, “the proof is in the pudding”. When you see a mainstream news article or broadcast, think to yourself, “who would benefit from me believing this particular point of view, and why?” If the result of any action or propaganda gives more power to the government and less power to the individual, then you can see the true agenda in action. If you feel a sense of fear after reading a story, think about who benefits from your fear. Everything I have stated can be proven with documents available in the public domain, if you are willing to take the time to learn the truth. Please don’t take this information lightly, as I am risking everything to give you this information. I have no agenda, other than to inform others of the stealthy corruption taking over all facets of our lives. We have a major threat, and I’ll give you a hint… worrying about some “radical terrorist” is the least of our problems. Please pursue other forms of information, question everything, and learn the truth. I strongly believe we have a limited amount of time until the enemy strikes again.

“None are more hopelessly enslaved, than those who falsely believe they are free.”

Effects of Digital TV

Could there be more sinister reasons behind the implementation of Digital TV? German doctors are attempting to warn the US population of health effects related to Digital Broadcasting….

Their studies showed these symptoms (which seem perfect for a government attempting to control it’s people) See the text below… or view the attachment for a formal report.

constant headaches, pressure in the head, drowsiness, sleep problems, inability to think clearly,
forgetfulness, nervous tensions, irritability, tightness in the chest, rapid heartbeat, shortness of
breath, depressive mood, total apathy, loss of empathy, burning skin, inner burning, leg
weakness, pain in the limbs, stabbing pain in various organs, weight increase

People need to wake up soon and realize what is going on in America. The television and mainstream news is a weapon of mass enslavement, and the poor population is being decieved and marched to the slaughterhouse…

Digital TV will start operating in the USA in very soon. Many people are worrying about this new technology which has not been tested yet. People in USA will be the Guinea pigs and, what a chance for the industry, there is so much radiation everywhere without DVBT that you will probably see no difference to other RF. (Perhaps more exhaustion, more tiredness, the feeling of being paralyzed??) Please see the letter in the attachment. You may forward it to your friends and to the press. Dr. Christine Aschermann

Warning Against Adverse Health Effects from the Operation of Digital Broadcast
Television Stations (DVB-T)
Dear President Obama:
Dear Members of the House of Representatives:
Dear Members of the Senate:
Dear Citizens of the United States of America:
In the US, digital broadcast television is scheduled to start operating on February 17, 2009. We
write to you today because we wish to save you from the significant negative health
consequences that have occurred here in Germany.
In Germany, analog broadcast television stations have gradually been switching to digital
broadcast signals since 2003. This switchover first took place in metropolitan areas. In those
areas, however, the RF exposures in public places as well as at home continued to increase at
the same time. As a result, the continuing declining health status of children, adolescents, and
adults in urban areas could not be attributed to any single cause.
On May 20, 2006, two digital broadcast television stations went on the air in the Hessian Rhoen
area (Heidelstein, Kreuzberg), which until recently had enjoyed rather low mobile phone
radiation exposure levels. Within a radius of more than 20 km, the following symptoms that
occurred abruptly were reported:
constant headaches, pressure in the head, drowsiness, sleep problems, inability to think clearly,
forgetfulness, nervous tensions, irritability, tightness in the chest, rapid heartbeat, shortness of
breath, depressive mood, total apathy, loss of empathy, burning skin, inner burning, leg
weakness, pain in the limbs, stabbing pain in various organs, weight increase

Birds had fled the area. Cats had turned phlegmatic and hardly ever went into the garden. One
child committed suicide; a second child tried doing it.
Over time the same unbearable symptoms showed up in other locations—most recently in
Bamberg and Aschaffenburg on November 25, 2008. Physicians accompanied affected people to
areas where there was no DVB-T reception (valleys, behind mountain ranges) and witnessed
how these people became symptom-free only after a short period of time.
The respective agencies responsible in Germany were approached for help, but they declined to
follow up on the strongly suggestive evidence in the actual locations. The behavior of the
government agencies disregards the fundamental rights of affected people guaranteed in the
German Constitution.
In Germany, DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting Terrestrial) uses Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplex Modulation. The fundamental principle of this type of modulation works by spreading
the information across several thousand carrier frequencies directly adjacent to each other. A
channel is 7.8 MHz wide. The amplitude also changes constantly.
The WHO, the German Radiation Protection Commission, and the German Federal Ministry of
the Environment rely on the Guidelines for Limiting Exposure to Time-varying Electric, Magnetic,
and Electromagnetic Fields (up to 300 GHz), (Health Physics 74 (4): 494-522; 1998) published by
the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP). In this document,
it says:
p. 495: “These guidelines will be periodically revised and updated as advances are made in
identifying the adverse health effects of time varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic
fields.”
p. 507: “Interpretation of several observed biological effects of AM electromagnetic fields is
further complicated by the apparent existence of “windows” of response in both the power
density and frequency domains. There are no accepted models that adequately explain this
phenomenon, which challenges the traditional concept of a monotonic relationship between the
field intensity and the severity of the resulting biological effects.”
Why are the German agencies in charge not willing to help identify the adverse health effects?
Since immediately, after digital broadcast television stations had started transmitting, adverse
health effects have occurred, the review of the Guidelines announced by the ICNIRP is
imperative. Obviously, there are response windows contained within the broad frequency bands
with their several thousand frequencies that change constantly and whose amplitude also
changes constantly. The ICNIRP had already pointed out this possibility.
In 1992, Dipl. Ing. Rüdiger Matthes, member of ICNIRP and of the Geman Radiation Protection
Agency (BfS), emphasized the preliminary status of the exposure limits in a hearing on the health
risks of electromagnetic radiation: “…They (electromagnetic exposure levels) are several orders of
magnitude higher than the natural background radiation levels of nontechnical sources…In
parallel to this development, findings of scientific studies according to which long term exposure
to such fields may trigger adverse health effects keep accumulating.…In this context, it is also
important to recognize that there are large differences in exposure levels within a given
population. A small child, for example, absorbs much more RF energy than an adult
person…There are several findings on low level exposures, which are considered scientifically
validated because they have been reproduced often but which are rather difficult to interpret.
The impact of mostly pulsed or ELF modulated RF radiation on cell metabolism, for example,
counts among them. It has been observed that the efflux of certain ions (e.g. calcium) from a cell
increases during exposure to such fields. The occurrence of this effect is described almost
completely independent of the actual field strength. It can be found at extremely low absorption
levels.…With all the currently available scientific findings, there remain some crucial questions
unanswered.
…There are gaps in the so-called body of evidence. That means that the biological effects, for
example, have only been investigated for individual frequencies. Data (e.g. effect thresholds) on
the various biological effects across the entire frequency spectrum are not available. The
exposure limits, therefore, are based on an approach that greatly simplifies the very complex
reality whose details are unfathomable. It should also be noted that concrete data on possible
effects of long-term exposures are mostly lacking.”
Real life teaches us that it was wrong to simplify. In Germany, we see strong evidence of a direct
temporal association between the start-up of terrestrial digital broadcast television and the
occurrence of severe health symptoms.
Dr.-Ing. W. Volkrodt, former R&D engineer at Siemens, recognized the danger of
electromagnetic fields for humans, animals, and plants. He pinned his hopes on policymakers
who would listen to reason when he wrote in 1987: “Future historians will refer to the RF
dilemma during the period from around 1975 to 1990 as a short, time-limited ‘technical incident.’
Owing to the introduction of fiber optic technology, this incident could be remediated quickly and
effectively.“
Satellites and cable provide the US population with television services. By contrast, the risk
associated with terrestrial digital broadcast television transmitters is unacceptable.
We, therefore, ask you, dear Mr. President, who has the wellbeing of his citizens at
heart, to stop the scheduled introduction of this new technology in the United States
of America and to save the people from the negative health consequences that have
occurred in our country.
