I guess it is a good living making money off of the Autism epidemic and the special education explosion while breathing exhaust fumes next to the 57 freeway.

It sure looks to me like another Psychology major with an Education degree defending irradiating children. Such an eerily familiar ring to Pletka and his cadre of followers (school principals) in the FSD.
I am still waiting for the C.S.F. physics department to jump into the basket. Michelle Garden said they don’t agree with us either:

Why does it seem that it is always the taxpayer funded, establishment on the teat types, who are always the ones stepping on the gas pedal to the common core’s microwave matrix, wireless radiation chambers’ classroom finish line for our kids? I just don’t get it.
Yeah, yeah, sure, sure, the Autism epidemic has nothing to do with wireless or vaccines. Prevention? What the heck is prevention? The solution seems to be simply more vaccines, petrochemical poison pharmaceuticals and more wireless. It is a brilliant business model but in my opinion, a very immoral one.

The solution is not just simply more vaccines, drugs and more wireless. The solution is to stop doing the same things over and over again and expecting different results. That is the definition of insanity. A paltry salary with a pension down the line can turn into some real blinders if it befalls the right individuals. How can so many who are ostensibly so well educated be so complicit in the greatest threat that humanity has ever faced? How can people continue on with the blinders as the special ed budgets explode while the Autism rates head straight into orbit? Is job security, fake fair weather friends, reputation and fleeting prestige really worth it?
Gotta tow the line so they can eat their bacon in Europe and go wine tasting in the summer. Break rank and its all out the window. Yes but the the onslaught of wireless technologies in the form of microwave towers, satellites showering the planet with radiation, Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) ports, Wireless Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) antennas — plus all the gadgets they make possible: , tablets, dect phones, pagers, Blackberries, cell phones, roving laptops, wireless electric and water meters, satellite TV and radio, in-flight internet are totally safe as the vampires run the blood bank at the FCC. I am referring as well to the electromagnetic weapons, radiation-emitting stations, surveillance instruments, and crowd-control devices military and law enforcement deploy, the rf modules, the microwave ovens, the wireless cameras, baby monitors and of course the extra special mandatory exposure wireless classrooms in the Fullerton School District. But have these always been with us? Have the battery of the 50+ metallic nano tech laden injections which are touted for the greater good? Yeah, and meanwhile the term public health has truly become an oxymoron as a result of all this willful ignorance in the year of the cat. I digress. There are thousands of studies, scientists, accompanied by millions of brain damaged kids and all we get from the community to address this is a special ed teacher? Come on gang.
Come to think of it, the trillion dollar wireless industry, the lobbyists on the hills, the out of control federal government,the educrat lackeys counting the dollar signs in the CAFR’s, the tech companies’ infestation of the CalPers, the immoral desire to not rock the boat to the detriment of others and the clandestine agenda to affect human fertility all have nothing to do with the price of tea in China now do they?
Right out of the gate, the quack job theme of junk science rises to the surface. Never you mind that she appears to ignore thousands of peer reviewed scientific studies and exchanges it for this. WELL ANYWAY, HERE IS WHAT SHE WROTE which appears to be nothing more than cut and paste RF industry info possibly from Lorne Trottier’s shill cut and paste site promoted by ROMAN SCHULZE.

Here is more updated data to add to your information:

Electromagnetic fields and public health
Base stations and wireless technologies
Backgrounder
May 2006
Mobile telephony is now commonplace around the world. This wireless technology relies upon an extensive network of fixed antennas, or base stations, relaying information with radiofrequency (RF) signals. Over 1.4 million base stations exist worldwide and the number is increasing significantly with the introduction of third generation technology.
Other wireless networks that allow high-speed internet access and services, such as wireless local area networks (WLANs), are also increasingly common in homes, offices, and many public areas (airports, schools, residential and urban areas). As the number of base stations and local wireless networks increases, so does the RF exposure of the population. Recent surveys have shown that the RF exposures from base stations range from 0.002% to 2% of the levels of international exposure guidelines, depending on a variety of factors such as the proximity to the antenna and the surrounding environment. This is lower or comparable to RF exposures from radio or television broadcast transmitters.
There has been concern about possible health consequences from exposure to the RF fields produced by wireless technologies. This fact sheet reviews the scientific evidence on the health effects from continuous low-level human exposure to base stations and other local wireless networks.
Health concerns
A common concern about base station and local wireless network antennas relates to the possible long-term health effects that whole-body exposure to the RF signals may have. To date, the only health effect from RF fields identified in scientific reviews has been related to an increase in body temperature (> 1 °C) from exposure at very high field intensity found only in certain industrial facilities, such as RF heaters. The levels of RF exposure from base stations and wireless networks are so low that the temperature increases are insignificant and do not affect human health.
The strength of RF fields is greatest at its source, and diminishes quickly with distance. Access near base station antennas is restricted where RF signals may exceed international exposure limits. Recent surveys have indicated that RF exposures from base stations and wireless technologies in publicly accessible areas (including schools and hospitals) are normally thousands of times below international standards.
In fact, due to their lower frequency, at similar RF exposure levels, the body absorbs up to five times more of the signal from FM radio and television than from base stations. This is because the frequencies used in FM radio (around 100 MHz) and in TV broadcasting (around 300 to 400 MHz) are lower than those employed in mobile telephony (900 MHz and 1800 MHz) and because a person’s height makes the body an efficient receiving antenna. Further, radio and television broadcast stations have been in operation for the past 50 or more years without any adverse health consequence being established.
While most radio technologies have used analog signals, modern wireless telecommunications are using digital transmissions. Detailed reviews conducted so far have not revealed any hazard specific to different RF modulations.
Cancer: Media or anecdotal reports of cancer clusters around mobile phone base stations have heightened public concern. It should be noted that geographically, cancers are unevenly distributed among any population. Given the widespread presence of base stations in the environment, it is expected that possible cancer clusters will occur near base stations merely by chance. Moreover, the reported cancers in these clusters are often a collection of different types of cancer with no common characteristics and hence unlikely to have a common cause.
Scientific evidence on the distribution of cancer in the population can be obtained through carefully planned and executed epidemiological studies. Over the past 15 years, studies examining a potential relationship between RF transmitters and cancer have been published. These studies have not provided evidence that RF exposure from the transmitters increases the risk of cancer. Likewise, long-term animal studies have not established an increased risk of cancer from exposure to RF fields, even at levels that are much higher than produced by base stations and wireless networks.
Other effects: Few studies have investigated general health effects in individuals exposed to RF fields from base stations. This is because of the difficulty in distinguishing possible health effects from the very low signals emitted by base stations from other higher strength RF signals in the environment. Most studies have focused on the RF exposures of mobile phone users. Human and animal studies examining brain wave patterns, cognition and behaviour after exposure to RF fields, such as those generated by mobile phones, have not identified adverse effects. RF exposures used in these studies were about 1000 times higher than those associated with general public exposure from base stations or wireless networks. No consistent evidence of altered sleep or cardiovascular function has been reported.
Some individuals have reported that they experience non-specific symptoms upon exposure to RF fields emitted from base stations and other EMF devices. As recognized in a recent WHO fact sheet “Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity”, EMF has not been shown to cause such symptoms. Nonetheless, it is important to recognize the plight of people suffering from these symptoms.
From all evidence accumulated so far, no adverse short- or long-term health effects have been shown to occur from the RF signals produced by base stations. Since wireless networks produce generally lower RF signals than base stations, no adverse health effects are expected from exposure to them.
Protection standards
International exposure guidelines have been developed to provide protection against established effects from RF fields by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP, 1998) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE, 2005).
National authorities should adopt international standards to protect their citizens against adverse levels of RF fields. They should restrict access to areas where exposure limits may be exceeded.
Public perception of risk
Some people perceive risks from RF exposure as likely and even possibly severe. Several reasons for public fear include media announcements of new and unconfirmed scientific studies, leading to a feeling of uncertainty and a perception that there may be unknown or undiscovered hazards. Other factors are aesthetic concerns and a feeling of a lack of control or input to the process of determining the location of new base stations. Experience shows that education programmes as well as effective communications and involvement of the public and other stakeholders at appropriate stages of the decision process before installing RF sources can enhance public confidence and acceptability.
Conclusions
Considering the very low exposure levels and research results collected to date, there is no convincing scientific evidence that the weak RF signals from base stations and wireless networks cause adverse health effects.
WHO Initiatives
WHO, through the International EMF Project, has established a programme to monitor the EMF scientific literature, to evaluate the health effects from exposure to EMF in the range from 0 to 300 GHz, to provide advice about possible EMF hazards and to identify suitable mitigation measures. Following extensive international reviews, the International EMF Project has promoted research to fill gaps in knowledge. In response national governments and research institutes have funded over $250 million on EMF research over the past 10 years.
While no health effects are expected from exposure to RF fields from base stations and wireless networks, research is still being promoted by WHO to determine whether there are any health consequences from the higher RF exposures from mobile phones.
The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), a WHO specialized agency, is expected to conduct a review of cancer risk from RF fields in 2006-2007 and the International EMF Project will then undertake an overall health risk assessment for RF fields in 2007-2008.

EMF fields from electrical wiring is likely more of an issue.
Electromagnetic fields and public health
Exposure to extremely low frequency fields
Backgrounder
June 2007
The use of electricity has become an integral part of everyday life. Whenever electricity flows, both electric and magnetic fields exist close to the lines that carry electricity, and close to appliances. Since the late 1970s, questions have been raised whether exposure to these extremely low frequency (ELF) electric and magnetic fields (EMF) produces adverse health consequences. Since then, much research has been done, successfully resolving important issues and narrowing the focus of future research.
In 1996, the World Health Organization (WHO) established the International Electromagnetic Fields Project to investigate potential health risks associated with technologies emitting EMF. A WHO Task Group recently concluded a review of the health implications of ELF fields (WHO, 2007).
This Fact Sheet is based on the findings of that Task Group and updates recent reviews on the health effects of ELF EMF published in 2002 by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), established under the auspices of WHO, and by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) in 2003.
ELF field sources and residential exposures
Electric and magnetic fields exist wherever electric current flows – in power lines and cables, residential wiring and electrical appliances. Electric fields arise from electric charges, are measured in volts per metre (V/m) and are shielded by common materials, such as wood and metal. Magnetic fields arise from the motion of electric charges (i.e. a current), are expressed in tesla (T), or more commonly in millitesla (mT) or microtesla (µT). In some countries another unit called the gauss, (G), is commonly used (10,000 G = 1 T). These fields are not shielded by most common materials, and pass easily through them. Both types of fields are strongest close to the source and diminish with distance.
Most electric power operates at a frequency of 50 or 60 cycles per second, or hertz (Hz). Close to certain appliances, the magnetic field values can be of the order of a few hundred microtesla. Underneath power lines, magnetic fields can be about 20 µT and electric fields can be several thousand volts per metre. However, average residential power-frequency magnetic fields in homes are much lower – about 0.07 µT in Europe and 0.11 µT in North America. Mean values of the electric field in the home are up to several tens of volts per metre.
Task group evaluation
In October 2005, WHO convened a Task Group of scientific experts to assess any risks to health that might exist from exposure to ELF electric and magnetic fields in the frequency range >0 to 100,000 Hz (100 kHz). While IARC examined the evidence regarding cancer in 2002, this Task Group reviewed evidence for a number of health effects, and updated the evidence regarding cancer. The conclusions and recommendations of the Task Group are presented in a WHO Environmental Health Criteria (EHC) monograph (WHO, 2007).
Following a standard health risk assessment process, the Task Group concluded that there are no substantive health issues related to ELF electric fields at levels generally encountered by members of the public. Thus the remainder of this fact sheet addresses predominantly the effects of exposure to ELF magnetic fields.
Short-term effects
There are established biological effects from acute exposure at high levels (well above 100 µT) that are explained by recognized biophysical mechanisms. External ELF magnetic fields induce electric fields and currents in the body which, at very high field strengths, cause nerve and muscle stimulation and changes in nerve cell excitability in the central nervous system.
Potential long-term effects
Much of the scientific research examining long-term risks from ELF magnetic field exposure has focused on childhood leukaemia. In 2002, IARC published a monograph classifying ELF magnetic fields as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”. This classification is used to denote an agent for which there is limited evidence of carcinogenicity in humans and less than sufficient evidence for carcinogenicity in experimental animals (other examples include coffee and welding fumes). This classification was based on pooled analyses of epidemiological studies demonstrating a consistent pattern of a two-fold increase in childhood leukaemia associated with average exposure to residential power-frequency magnetic field above 0.3 to 0.4 µT. The Task Group concluded that additional studies since then do not alter the status of this classification.
However, the epidemiological evidence is weakened by methodological problems, such as potential selection bias. In addition, there are no accepted biophysical mechanisms that would suggest that low-level exposures are involved in cancer development. Thus, if there were any effects from exposures to these low-level fields, it would have to be through a biological mechanism that is as yet unknown. Additionally, animal studies have been largely negative. Thus, on balance, the evidence related to childhood leukaemia is not strong enough to be considered causal.
Childhood leukaemia is a comparatively rare disease with a total annual number of new cases estimated to be 49,000 worldwide in 2000. Average magnetic field exposures above 0.3 μT in homes are rare: it is estimated that only between 1% and 4% of children live in such conditions. If the association between magnetic fields and childhood leukaemia is causal, the number of cases worldwide that might be attributable to magnetic field exposure is estimated to range from 100 to 2400 cases per year, based on values for the year 2000, representing 0.2 to 4.95% of the total incidence for that year. Thus, if ELF magnetic fields actually do increase the risk of the disease, when considered in a global context, the impact on public health of ELF EMF exposure would be limited.
A number of other adverse health effects have been studied for possible association with ELF magnetic field exposure. These include other childhood cancers, cancers in adults, depression, suicide, cardiovascular disorders, reproductive dysfunction, developmental disorders, immunological modifications, neurobehavioural effects and neurodegenerative disease. The WHO Task Group concluded that scientific evidence supporting an association between ELF magnetic field exposure and all of these health effects is much weaker than for childhood leukaemia. In some instances (i.e. for cardiovascular disease or breast cancer) the evidence suggests that these fields do not cause them.
International exposure guidelines
Health effects related to short-term, high-level exposure have been established and form the basis of two international exposure limit guidelines (ICNIRP, 1998; IEEE, 2002). At present, these bodies consider the scientific evidence related to possible health effects from long-term, low-level exposure to ELF fields insufficient to justify lowering these quantitative exposure limits.
WHO’s guidance
For high-level short-term exposures to EMF, adverse health effects have been scientifically established (ICNIRP, 2003). International exposure guidelines designed to protect workers and the public from these effects should be adopted by policy makers. EMF protection programs should include exposure measurements from sources where exposures might be expected to exceed limit values.
Regarding long-term effects, given the weakness of the evidence for a link between exposure to ELF magnetic fields and childhood leukaemia, the benefits of exposure reduction on health are unclear. In view of this situation, the following recommendations are given:
Government and industry should monitor science and promote research programmes to further reduce the uncertainty of the scientific evidence on the health effects of ELF field exposure. Through the ELF risk assessment process, gaps in knowledge have been identified and these form the basis of a new research agenda.
Member States are encouraged to establish effective and open communication programmes with all stakeholders to enable informed decision-making. These may include improving coordination and consultation among industry, local government, and citizens in the planning process for ELF EMF-emitting facilities.
When constructing new facilities and designing new equipment, including appliances, low-cost ways of reducing exposures may be explored. Appropriate exposure reduction measures will vary from one country to another. However, policies based on the adoption of arbitrary low exposure limits are not warranted.

Thank you for stepping forward Jan. There are two sides to this debate. On one side are extremely powerful vested financial, compromised scientific and nefarios political interests. On the other side are countless brain damaged children, many others unaware that their wombs will someday be barren. It is along side those that we stand in the gap. In the middle are the willfully ignorant leaders, scientists, educators, and elected representatives that stand in the way of putting an end to an agenda that I believe is straight from the pit of hell.
Thank you for summarizing the very nature of The Fullerton Informer and our quest to end the largest forced irradiation of school children that the world has ever known with your quote from Dr. King. I couldn’t have expressed the very nature of our mission in a more forthright and compelling manner.
There is nothing like owning an alignment shop in a town full of potholes. Life is good at special ed central as long as the machine keeps turning them out and no one pops the bubble. The atmospheric chemistry inside that bubble cannot remain in equilibrium because the equation is shifting to the right side of things now folks. We can no longer afford to ignore the explosive Autism epidemic, the infertility crisis unfolding as we speak and the ongoing pruning of our children’s mental faculties taking place right before all of our very eyes with our tacit approval and complicit silence.
Please don’t join the ranks of those who have sold out and turned their backs on the children.
Thank you.

Now let’s move to the World Health Organization 2006 “backgrounder webpage that she refers to in her cut and paste email.
I would have to say that this document is the most problematic source we as health advocates have to deal with. It is highly misleading and contains serious errors.
Unfortunately many school officials rely on it, to such an extent, that they will block out any and all conflicting information. These folks simply do not do their homework. They just cut and paste this document and move on.
Problem #1: The 2006 WHO sheet recognizes thermal effects as the only biological effect from wireless radiation.
“To date, the only health effect from RF fields identified in scientific reviews has been related to an increase in body temperature (> 1 °C) from exposure at very high field intensity found only in certain industrial facilities, such as RF heaters.”
This is blatantly false. There are currently over 2,000 peer reviewed studies proving that a myriad of other biological and health effects occur at much lower levels than would cause heating.
This error alone completely discredits this entire source.
Problem #2. Not all RF radiation is the same. Newer digital radiation is more harmful. The WHO sheet falsely denies this.
“While most radio technologies have used analog signals, modern wireless telecommunications are using digital transmissions. Detailed reviews conducted so far have not revealed any hazard specific to different RF modulations.”
This is false. The $5 million, EU-funded international research project, REFLEX found that digital, meaning pulse modulated microwave radiation caused much more serious damage to DNA and other genetic material than analogue radiation.
Problem #3 Cell tower research shows a direct association between proximity to cell towers and cancer and other neurological issues. The WHO sheet denies this.
“Over the past 15 years, studies examining a potential relationship between RF transmitters and cancer have been published. These studies have not provided evidence that RF exposure from the transmitters increases the risk of cancer.”
Absolutely false. Here is a link to many studies that show direct evidence that RF exposure from transmitters increases the risk of cancer.:
http://wifiinschools.com/uploads/3/0/4/2/3042232/epidemiological_studies.pdf
Problem #4 Wireless or Wi-Fi emits much higher radiation that cell towers (base stations). The WHO sheet falsely denies this.
“Wireless networks produce generally lower RF signals than base stations, no adverse health effects are expected from exposure to them.”
This is blatantly false, and has been proven by many independent sources, including the BBC program Panorama in 2007, which showed that WiFi radiation in classrooms was over 3x higher than what is found near a cell tower.
So let’s summarize this. The WHO says that the only health effect from RF radiation is heating, and so everyone is safe because they won’t heat up from cell towers and WiFi. This is fallacious. There are thousands of peer reviewed studies showing adverse effects at subthermal levels.
If there are thousands of studies, peer reviewed studies, what are we arguing about?
If there are many studies showing that cell towers causes adverse health issues including cancer and neurological issues, and WiFi enabled classrooms emit over 3x more radiation, this is very serious.
There is a large and compelling body of evidence showing that RF radiation causes adverse health issues. Recently one of the most highly distinguished scientists in the world, Dr. Anthony Miller, PhD, stated that recently published evidence warrants the reclassification of wireless by the WHO as a class 2A probable human carcinogen.
He should know. Dr. Anthony Miller is a senior committee chair of the IARC panel that advises the World Health Organization

Ray,
Not sure what sources you rely upon for your information. Anthony Miller is indeed quite distinguished – as a cancer epidemiologist with 632 entries in PubMed – going back to 1950! However, only 2 of these articles make mention of RF. One was a letter of comment on a study, and the other was a literature review of other studies. He has no published studies of his own in the field of EMF in the RF range of frequencies.
As for his IARC experience – he was not ‘a senior committee chair’ or even a member of the work group that classified RF. His involvement was in editing the Monograph – after the meetings were over and the decisions were made.
These details can be easily confirmed in just a few minutes by visiting a couple of websites. Take the time to check your facts.

The US is third world in RF research. There is no money in it unless you are on the industry side or a compromised scientist. Stick the RF transmitters on all the light poles and strap one to everyone’s back. Oh feel the love.
#5 by Ray on February 8, 2014 - 1:51 pm
Dr. Anthony Miller is currently Professor Emeritus at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto.
A physician-epidemiologist, he was a member of the scientific staff of the UK Medical Research Council, 1962-71, Director of the Epidemiology Unit of the National Cancer Institute of Canada, 1971-86, Chair of the Department of Preventive Medicine and Biostatistics, University of Toronto, 1992-96, special expert in the Division of Cancer Prevention, US National Cancer Institute, 1997, Senior Epidemiologist, International Agency for Research on Cancer, 1998-99, and Head, Division of Cancer Epidemiology, German Cancer Research Centre, 2000-03.
He is a consultant to the Division of Cancer Prevention, U.S. National Cancer Institute and to the World Health Organization, is Co-Chair of the Cancer Risk Management Steering Committee and a member of the Action Council, Canadian Partnership Against Cancer.
His research encompasses cancer control, prevention and screening. He is a cancer specialist.
As he says in his video, “he has done research on both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation and has found effects on cancer from both forms. ”
He says that he has also served on a number of committees, working groups of the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
He also says that he was the first representative on the scientific council of IARC for Canada, and that he chaired that scientific council.
He also says that he recently spent 3 months as a senior scientist in Lyons, France, (at IARC), to review the documentation that enabled the working group to determine that RF radiation is a class 2B human carcinogen.
Given recently published scientific studies that report adverse biological effects from RF, this distinguished senior scientist for IARC states that the proper designation now for RF wireless radiation would be a class 2A probable human carcinogen.

Thank you Ray,
Could you post a link to some of Dr. Miller’s studies with findings of adverse health effects from radio-frequency electromagnetic fields?

Tom Whitney commented on a link.
January 28
Health Canada, and the World Health Organization (WHO) have extensively examined the health implications of radio-frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMF) – like those generated by cell towers, cell phones, Wi-Fi systems, and Smart Meters.
The WHO has stated that “…to date there is no evidence to conclude that exposure to low level electromagnetic fields is harmful to human health.” This quote is from WHO fact sheet 193, which was issued after the IARC classification of RF-EMF as a 2B ‘possible’ carcinogen.
Reading the fact sheet should help members of the public appreciate the context of the 2B classification, which is often exaggerated and misunderstood.
WHO examined all the peer-reviewed scientific evidence before reaching their conclusion – not just the fringe findings that support the viewpoint and unfounded concerns expressed here.

Another round with this “Doubting Thomas” worm.
Folks, if you are new to this blog, “Doubting Thomas” is none other than Thomas Whitney, a long-time agent for the wireless industry.
He is playing one of the industry’s most common and disturbing games- establishing a controversy in order to instill doubt in the minds of the general public who read through blogs and articles regarding the issue of wireless health effects.
Their goal is to keep the public confused, as long as possible, in order to delay action on a particular hazard. The longer the wireless industry is able to keep the public confused or uncertain, the longer the industry can take rake in massive profits at our expense.
This war-gaming strategy is anything but new. It is exactly what big tobacco did for years. They skewed the scientific literature, manufacture and magnify scientific uncertainty, and eroded the public’s confidence in science’s ability to address public health issues.

Mr. Whitney and company would like nothing better than to drag out the debate surrounding wireless health issues for much longer. If they succeed, they enjoy a comfortable retirement. Meanwhile you and your children pay the price with all of the health effects both known and unknown from being bathed in high levels of harmful wireless microwave radiation.
In my opinion his actions are revolting. He has been at this for decades, and he is now committing the worst criminal and moral crime possible. He is misleading parents and other authorities on the health hazards faced by children.

They knew and have known for decades of the harms of microwave exposures –

Go to opening session page XV and drop down to pathalogic studies-
” Suggestive evidence has also been obtained to indicate persistent testicular effects in mice which received chronic
low level exposure averaging about 6 mw/cm2.”
That was in 1973 -40 years ago.
Now in 2014, this industry funded piece is released and note the particular subject group tested and what was specifically tested for:

It makes absolutely no mention of analyzing reproductive harm to young girls with tablets in their laps all day at school and home or the obvious Autism connection.
Hey I can take 25 million big ones, test every grocery clerk in Kalamazoo for hand cancer from working around the laser at the checkout stand. Guess what, as long as I just examine the incidence of cancer in the hands exposed to the laser, I will get no marked increase in incidence. Now if we instruct the clerks to stare into the laser with both eyes for 6 hours a day, 180 days a year for 13 years (similar to your child’s stint in a Fullerton wireless classroom under Pletka and Giokaris), and examine the incidence of blindness in the eyes exposed to the laser, we will notice a marked increase in the incidence of blindness. So is the laser safe? The answer conveniently becomes a function what type of tissue or organ you expose, what specific anomalies are sought out, the duration of exposure, the distance to the source of the exposure, and the power level of the exposure. I might add that it may come as no surprise that the preceding is all dictated by the source of the study’s funding.
Over the last 40 years science has become nothing more than a fraud and a form of witchcraft or some sort of black magic sorcery ritual. The directed research machine is a joke. I still cannot believe my eyes.

The unspeakable crime of the 20th century, more than the triumph of evil, was the sin of the innocent bystander. The unspeakable crime of the 21st century is the sin of allowing oneself to fall into silent complicity by willingly succumbing to cognitive dissonance.
