Saturday, August 9, 2008 Many people report symptoms of electromagnetic radation sickness, WHO (17 comments)
While America falls apart at the seams, I've been reluctant to post on the seemingly unrelated topic of electromagnetic radiation. Journalist Franz van Velden has uncovered an agenda to suppress knowledge of the damage to human health. Perhaps greed is the prime motivator, but perhaps making people too ill to resist could be another motivation in facilitating a transition to tyranny.
