Part 2 of An Electronic Silent Spring

a talk given by Katie Singerat the Techno-Utopianism and the Fate of the Earth Teach-In (www.ifg.org) at Cooper Union, October 25, 2014

In March of 2014, the CDC reported that one in 42 boys has autism. This number is up by nearly a third since 2012. We don't know the cause of autism nor of this alarming trend. But a Bay Area pediatrician now has a free protocol that includes turning Wi-Fi off at night, and keeping mobile devices away from children.

One family had a non-verbal ten-year-old who screamed from 10pm till 3am every night. Within three days of turning Wi-Fi off and unplugging cordless phones, this boy spoke a complete sentence. This family lived on a military base, but they kept reducing their own EMR emissions, and Dr. Jelter prescribed therapeutic-grade fish oil. After three weeks, the boy's screaming stopped. He slept through the night. His mother's seizure disorder also decreased.

My report, "Calming Behavior in Children with Autism and ADHD," is at electronicsilentspring.com. And you don't need autism to try the protocol.

This video plays the sound of electromagnetic radiation from different sources. I'm showing it because the background radiation here may be too high for us to discern individual devices.

Please, let's get informed about the biological effects of electronics.

The smart grid aims to reduce our use of electricity and make delivery of it more efficient. But most "smart" meters are wireless. They emit EMR, create health hazards, violate security and waste energy. "Smart" meters are not necessary for a smart grid. "Smart" meters can transmit pulsed EMR every 15 seconds. They can shut off pacemakers. Like other wireless technologies, they're not UL certified, which means that if a smart meter fire damages your house, your home owner's insurance likely won't cover you.

Safer technology is available for an intelligent grid. Let your utility commissioners know.

Learn about transformers. Big transformers convert voltages on the grid. Smaller transformers--switch-mode power supplies--are used by devices like mobile phones, compact fluorescent lights and solar power inverters. Transformers can generate magnetic fields that apparently cause leukemia.

Solar power can operate safely. Thoroughly filtered inverters can deliver clean DC or AC electricity without harmonics.

Please be aware that broadband over powerlines and distributed antenna systems can blanket your town in electromagnetic radiation.

With new "green" ordinances, providers no longer need to prove that a new cell tower can withstand 130 mph winds for example. This is another red flag. Why would a legislator give up the permitting process when cell towers regularly collapse and catch fire?

Around the country, school systems have issued iPads for every child. Last July, FCC Chair Tom Wheeler committed $2 billion for high speed Wi-Fi in our schools. Call these risks to every child's health and mind.

At the conclusion of Silent Spring, Rachel Carson called on pesticide users' humility. She asked pesticide users to acknowledge "the vast forces with which they tampered." Could we get humble and acknowledge that using wireless technologies tampers with vast forces?

Because of the extraordinary powers at our fingertips, we may lose sight of laws that value mobile devices more than our ecosystem or our health. We might ignore that depending on a mobile phone gives technology and corporations control of our lives. We may fail to notice that no app can steer us home.

Clearly, the FCC and telecom providers value profits more than our ecosystem and our health. If we value health and nature more than an electronic device, then what is our responsibility?

I think we've got to start making limits. To begin, consider not using mobile devices around pregnant women or children.

Get cabled Internet access.

Think twice before using a mobile device in a moving car or train. At every mile, your phone connects to a new base station and goes to maximum power. EMR gets trapped in the car and bounces around. Not good.

Join others who've gotten "smart" meters removed and analog utility meters restored to their homes.

Guard building codes for safe installation of new and upgraded cell towers.

Is anyone here ready to commit to even one of these limits, starting today? Would you stand up?

Thank you very much.
