Methuen once again is going to pioneer just what are the effects
to the human body of living under a microwave antenna in close
proximity.
During the mayoral campaign the Zoning Board of Appeals had a
meeting where Omnipoint Communications petitioned the board to
bypass the zoning by-law that was specifically put in place to
protect the citizens from close proximity to one of these
antennas. THE ZBA GRANTED THE PETITION!
You know, I once thought of this board as the fairest in the land.
It is sad how things change.
The lame reason for overturning this by-law was that if they
did not grant the petitioner, they would sue us.
Funny how it doesn’t seem to matter when some of our city
employees act renegade, not in the best interest of the citizens
and we have no problem covering up their ashhh behavior. (Look for
the upcoming article “INDEMNIFICATION: Taxpayer Funded Thuggery.”)
When the bad deed becomes so nasty and large it cannot be swept
under the rug, because it is tantamount to an elephant hiding
under the rug, (or is that just a big olde dawwg?) the taxpayers
then ante up and hire a prominent lawyer to handle the settlement.
How can it be that we can protect these criminal politicos, but
yet not protect the citizens? Isn’t that what government’s sole
reason for existence? After all, Methuen does have a full time
attorney on the payroll. Wouldn’t you think that his purpose was
to represent the citizens if they were sued upholding their zoning
by-law?
We know full well what is going to happen when this
microwave-radiating antenna is tamed on the Fire Department, Day
Care, Billy Manzi’s Liquor Store, not to mention the upper floors
of the building where this antenna will be installed in the
cupola. (Don’t miss Coming Soon: “For the Less Fortunate and the
Children.”)
Because you know folks, we have had that happen to us before, an
antenna aimed directly on one of our neighborhoods. It has been
documented in public testimony, at the council meeting of our very
own town.
The technical term for where this radiation is aimed is first
bounce and second bounce. Bounce refers to the strength on which
the radio frequency hits you.
Once again we are going to be able to supply the country with
viable data and perhaps mournful testimony of just what this is
going to cost. AND I AM NOT TALKING MONEY!
Please keep in mind that the firefighters are now on 24-hour
shifts, and since we the citizens pay a portion of their health
care, this will be a recordable benchmark.
The residents of the building include many children and many of
the studies now document a greater effect on children and elderly.
Across the street from the fire department is a day care, where
there are many children of all ages. In the summer, these children
spend a great deal of time out in the playground in front of the
building.
I think you will be interested to know that Omnipoint petitioned
the board without ever declaring the configuration or frequency
these antennas were going to operate at.
Don’t confuse me with facts; my mind is already made up!
Do you think it was in the bag? Let me convince you. The night
that Billy Manzi and I were to debate live on MCTV, the Historical
District Commission Board AKA “The Pompous Board,” heard arguments
on just how this was going to affect this historic structure.
Report: All is well in pork town.
It appears this board has a serious problem metering out justice
even-handedly, which I will gladly be pointing out to my loyal
readers in the upcoming months.
Now loyal readers, keep in mind that our federal legislators
removed our sovereign power when it comes to prohibiting these
antennas on health effects.
This is why 9 years ago I took the time, (over 1 year), to
painstakingly research how we could prevent antennas from ever
hurting our population again.
I authored this by-law and saw it through to fruition until it was
enacted in our zoning by-law regulations. All this board had to do
was uphold that law.
Let me end this article with some statistics that will curl your
hair. This is just the tip of the iceberg in the documents I have
in my possession. The good part about it is we will not be getting
sued. I take that back, we will not be getting sued protecting the
people, but we will be getting sued protecting the criminals, and
thanks to our Council those bad boys are now indemnified.
Carcinogenic Risk:
• From 1953 to 1976 the personnel of the American Embassy in
Moscow were subjected to a chronic irradiation from microwaves at
a mean power density of 1 to 2.4 uW/cm2 (1.9 to 3V/m), with maxima
of short durations of 5 to 18 xW/cm2 (4.3 to 8.2V/m) and with
frequencies varying from 600 MHz to 9.5 GHz. One study of these
personnel evidences an increased risk of leukemia and of uterine
cancer.
• A study of 9,590 Canadian telecommunications workers underscores
a significant increase in the number of melanomas when compared to
the general population.
• A survey conducted by the American army on 880,000 persons
exposed to microwaves reports a significant increase in the risk
of brain tumors.
• The effects of chronic exposure of Polish servicemen to
ultra-short waves associated with microwaves (frequencies from 150
to 3,500 MHz) have been studied for 20 years on approximately
120,000 persons. The results obtained show significant increases
in the risk of cancers of the blood, esophagus, stomach, colon,
skin (melanoma) and brain, for a microwave exposure not exceeding
200uW/cm2 (27.4V/m).
