2008). This led to the extinction of numerous species and is endangering the
existence of many others including birds and the honeybee whose existence is
indispensable for fructification, i.e., for the very survival of humankind (Warnke
2008). Moreover, human health is also directly affected by electromagnetic fields
(EMFs). Thousands of recent studies detailing the toxic effects of EMFs – the
radiation surrounding electrical instruments and facilities, electrical wiring, and
house wires emanating from communication devices, including radio, television,
Wi-Fi emitters, and mobile phones – revealed that constant exposures to even weak
radiation can cause a range of diseases (Segell 2010). The former WHO Director
General and medical doctor Gro Harlem Brundtland warned about health consequences from mobile phone radiation since 2002 already, advising people to protect
themselves against the radiation from wireless technology, admonishing them to
restrict the use of mobile phones to the bare essentials, and alerting them that
especially young people should take this matter very serious (Stralskyddsstiftelsen
2015). In fact, scientific studies state that persons using a cell phone as teenagers
have a five times higher risk of cerebral cancer than those who had begun as adults
(Segell 2010). “Dirty electricity,” a carcinogen also known as high-frequency
voltage transients, caused by modern low-energy electronics and devices such as
plasma TVs, computers, refrigerators, dimmers, and compact fluorescent lamps
increases the probability that those exposed to it develop different kinds of cancer
including throat cancer, uterine cancer, and breast cancer (Segell 2010). So, members of the European Union are now acting fast to protect EU citizens, especially
pregnant women and children: Since 2008, England, France, and Germany have
removed wire-free connections from public libraries and schools; other countries
will follow their example (Segell 2010).
Notably, smart meters are associated with considerable risks to physical and
mental health. Normal, previously healthy people displayed strange symptoms
caused by continuous pulsed electromagnetic radiation from “smart” electricity
meters right after the covert installation of Smart Grids (Wycherley 2017). Therefore, the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) demanded a
moratorium for smart meters some years ago and continues to veto them today,
arguing that wireless radio-frequency radiation (RF radiation) effects accumulate
over time due to the permanent exposure to smart meters, pointing to the fact that the
latest scientific medical literature poses plausible questions about hormonal, cellular,
and genetic effects, as well as blood-brain damage and enhanced risks for certain
kinds of cancer due to ELF
9 and RF rates such as those of smart meters (Wycherley
2017). There is a particular risk to children from smart meters (Wycherley 2017).
According to security experts, there is a significantly enhanced risk of fire and
explosions from smart meters threatening millions of households (Rodionova
2017; EMF Safety Network 2018). Last, but not least, smart meters may be weaponized for cyber or psychotronic warfare as apparently done in some areas, where a
significantly larger number of cell phone towers than needed are erected (Wilson
2013).
