The fatal and volumetric effects of electromagnetic radiation is emitted mainly by mobile phones, mobile phone antenna, tower, mast, transmission tower, microwave oven, wireless devices, system and equipment.

NEW DELHI: The studies and survey conducted by Australian Health Research Institute indicates that due to billions of times more in volume electromagnetic radiation emitted by billions of mobile phones, internet, intranet and wireless communication data transmission will make almost one-third of world population (about two billions) patient of ear, eye and brain cancer beside other major body disorders like heart ailments, impotency, migraine, epilepsy.

According to the reports the tissues of children are tender and are likely to be more effected by use of any wireless gadget and devices and they should not be encouraged to use mobile phone.

The fatal and volumetric effects of electromagnetic radiation emitted mainly by mobile phones, mobile phone antenna, tower, mast, transmission tower, microwave oven, wireless devices, system and equipment.

These dangerous effects have been certified and confirmed repeatedly by many leading medical and scientific research institutions of the world including Ministries of health of various governments, W.H.O. and now have been admitted and confirmed by Govt. of India in their recent press releases.

Here is an article on the subject of abortion. This is a story from the Daily Mail about a baby who survived a abortion. Doctors thought that the baby would have defect upon birth yet, the baby is now expected to live a normal life.
By Liz Hull Last updated at 8:08 AM on 05th June 2008 

Finley Crampton really shouldn’t be here. Although his parents would have loved another child, they knew their baby could inherit a life-threatening kidney condition – and they couldn’t take the risk.

After all, their first son had died of the condition and the second was born with serious kidney damage.
So when Finley’s mother, Jodie Percival, became pregnant while on the Pill, she and her fiance Billy Crampton, 35, made the agonising decision to abort this child. ‘Deciding to terminate at eight weeks was just utterly horrible but I couldn’t cope with the anguish of losing another baby,’ said Miss Percival, 25.

However, Finley had other ideas. And some time after the operation, Miss Percival felt a fluttering in her stomach. Eventually her doctor sent her for a scan – and she discovered she was 19 weeks pregnant. The child had survived the abortion and thrived in the womb. ‘I couldn’t believe it,’ said Miss Percival. ‘This was the baby I thought I’d terminated. ‘At first I was angry that this was happening to us, that the procedure had failed. ‘I wrote to the hospital, I couldn’t believe that they had let me down like this. They wrote back and apologised and said it was very rare.’

But a week later, another scan confirmed that this baby had kidney problems too, like the couple’s previous children. Miss Percival carries a gene which triggers multicystic dysplastic kidney – which causes cysts to grow on the kidneys of an unborn baby. Her first baby, Thane, had lived for only 20 minutes after she was forced to deliver him prematurely. Her second son, Lewis, now 20 months, was born with a similar condition. He survives on one kidney. However, doctors told the couple from Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, that this child was likely to survive, so they decided he deserved a chance.

And in November, Finley was born three weeks premature, at 6lb 3oz. He had minor kidney damage but is expected to lead a normal life. ‘I knew if that operation hadn’t failed he wouldn’t have been there,’ said Miss Percival, a hairdresser. ‘I just couldn’t believe that this child had got through it all and looked so perfect. ‘He may need an operation but as only one of his kidneys is affected he can survive. ‘I still struggle to believe just what he has fought through. Now he’s here I wouldn’t change it for the world.’

Recently, 111 countries signed a treaty that would ban the use cluster bombs in those respective countries. A few major world powers were absent from the meeting notably, The United, Russia, China and Israel. Here’s and article on the subject and the dangers of these cluster bombs.

DUBLIN (AFP) — A landmark international convention banning cluster munitions was formally adopted by 111 countries here Friday, in a move organisers hope will stigmatise the lethal weapons as much as landmines.

Diplomats adopted the treaty without objection at the end of 12 days of robust negotiation at Croke Park stadium in the Irish capital.

The wide-ranging pact bans the use, production, transfer and stockpiling of cluster munitions. It also provides for helping victims and clearing contaminated areas within 10 years.

The treaty requires the destruction of stockpiles within eight years — though it leaves the door open for future, more precise generations of cluster bombs that pose less harm to civilians.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon hailed it as “a new international standard that will enhance the protection of civilians, strengthen human rights and improve prospects for development.”

The convention is due to be signed in Oslo on December 2-3. It comes into force once 30 states have ratified it.

Politicians and campaigners described the adoption as hugely significant, despite the absence of the United States, China, Russia, Israel, India and Pakistan — all major cluster bomb stockpilers and producers.

But supporters said they hoped the treaty would pressure them to change track or shame them into not using cluster bombs.

“We all know that there are important states not present, but I am convinced that we will have succeeded in stigmatising any future use of cluster munitions,” Irish Foreign Minister Micheal Martin said.

Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere, whose country spearheaded the process, said in Oslo that “the door is open” to other states.

“We have created a framework which is now allowing countries to join and I hope to see that,” he said.

Alongside him, British counterpart David Miliband, whose country dropped objections to the draft treaty on Thursday, breaking the deadlock in Dublin, added: “It’s up to us to make sure it generates momentum in the process.”

Slovenia, which currently holds the European Union presidency, said the new convention would have “a tremendous positive influence on the ground”.

The United States has defended its non-attendance, saying it was “deeply concerned” about the humanitarian impact of cluster bombs and all weapons of war, despite “disagreements” about the best way forward.

Dropped from planes or fired from artillery, cluster bombs explode in mid-air, scattering bomblets, with many civilians having been killed or maimed in heavily-bombed countries like Laos, Vietnam and Afghanistan by their indiscriminate, wide area effect.

They also pose a lasting threat as many bomblets fail to explode on impact.

Norwegian Deputy Defence Minister Espen Barth Eide told AFP that countries wanted their military actions to be seen as legitimate, and compared the potential impact of the Dublin text to the 1997 Ottawa Treaty on landmines.

“With the landmine treaty, the US did not sign it but we don’t really care because they behave as if they have signed it because they recognise they are morally outlawed,” he said.

The Cluster Munition Coalition, an umbrella group of non-governmental organisations, said it would now be “politically impossible” for countries to use such weapons without a backlash.

It was “deeply disappointed” by an article on how countries may assist non-signatory states and said it would work to ensure it did not become a “loophole”.

Steve Goose, from Human Rights Watch, said they would pressure signatories to clear non-signatories’ stockpiles from their soil.

“This treaty will make the world a safer place for millions of people. Cluster munitions have been tossed on the ash heap of history,” he said.

Afghan campaigner Soraj Ghulam Habib, who was 10 when his legs were blown off by a cluster bomb, said he now felt his suffering was not in vain.

“Victims need a lot of support and now work can be done to make victims self-reliant, not let them be like beggars on the street,” the 17-year-old told AFP.

“I hope that cluster munitions will never again be used by any states.”

Many of us watched The Wacky Races a cartoon featuring Dick Dastardly and Mutley His hound. In the cartoon Dastardly always tried to find a way to cheat his way to victory usually using His dog mutley to do the dirty deeds. Mutley would always snicker at how Dastardly failed conistently but when on the mission would also snicker at those they were trying to beat by foul play. Its a funny cartoon, that really repetitive. If you’ve seen one episode you’ve seen them all. Like the cartoon the wiles of the money men and the political lap dogs is the same. The story is repetitive, the same old tricks are used. An old dog can’t perform new tricks like the saying does. Unfortunately much like the other racers in The Wacky Races, the populace are very apathetic and unwilling to kick the cheaters out. They let it happen, again and again….the circus continues…

Food prices are rocketing, inflation in many countries is rising, the dollar has lost its edge and continues to do so, Oil prices are are ridiculous and the political game continues to be a circus of madness, lies, folly and continuos evil. Osama Bin Laden released a new tape criticizing Hezbollah’s leader as well as Arab leaders. George Bush continues to advocate his peace talks with Yis’rael and Palestine, and ‘talk’ about trying to get the Saudi;s to do something about these High oil prices. Obama and Hillary continue to campaign. McCain is sparring with Obama, Edwards is for Obama and Gordon Brown is getting less and less popular. Yes politcs is a weary game that the lovers of money and ‘power’ love.

Whilst all this is happening the spectre of war with Iran and Syria still looms for Yis’rael and The US. Lebanon is still a very weak state and Hezbollah is continuing to get a larger grip of power there. Gulf Area Arabs are weary of a democrat in the White House because of the Shi’ite corridor thats formed from Iran through Iraq and up through Syria and into Lebanon. The fear is that the Shi’ite power house Iran will gain more and more influence in those areas. Something the Sunni Arabs do not want to see happening. Did we forget, Iraq is still claiming many lives and stability does not seem to be on any one’s plans, Americans and insurgents alike. 

Oil hit a high of 128 dollars a barrel recently, and looks like it will continue to break records and keep rising. It has been projected that it may reach crazy heights of up to $200 dollars and up. It has been forecasted that it may reach this price by 2010. The way its going it could reach this high earlier rather than later. It has had an increase of close to 40 dollars this year alone (that is until May 18). If it continues to rise at this pace its going to reach $200 before June next year. Of course this is all speculation, which has been the driving factor to the oil getting to highs only experienced by drug pushers! Supply is not the issue here as there is an abundance of Oil. Siberia, Canada and Alaska are full of untapped oil. This so called scarcity is artificial. The focus of Supply has been targeted primarily on The Gulf States, which is just another way getting the populace, we the ‘plebs’ to accept high prices. 

Here’s a thought though. Suppose The U.S. and Iran as well as Syria got into a conflict, that would no doubt disrupt oil supply in The Gulf Area as well as Iran itself. The U.S. already has its navy in the area and if a conflict were to start no doubt that fleet would get larger. That would stop traffic in the Persian Gulf as well as possibly in The Red Sea. The fraccas would not doubt cause Oil Prices to sky rocket further than has been projected, if fears and speculation about a conflict has added to the price what damage would an actual conflict cause? What would be the result of food prices and commodity prices if oil went completely bonkers?

In political circles, Berlisconni recently won the Italian P.M. elections, Obama seems to have found a friend in former pres-candidate Edwards. Its all a game to the money men putting their presidents in power and causing economic chaos around ‘the globe.’ Food prices are really getting crazy and the effect is being seen in many countries at the moment. South Africa is having a rough time with rising food prices, having to try and deal with unemployment not to mention the politics of Jacob Zuma who was  accused of raping a woman. Seems infidelity is a politicians trait. From Spitzer to Zuma. Clinton to Prince Charles…

War!! Sudan and Chad are attempting to sort out their differences, a war of words has enveloped Myanmar over the aid situation. A war against time in China were many bodies are being looked for in hopes that survivors of the quake that hit last week may be found. In a show of pride and nationalism the people of China mourned their dead as a nation yesterday, something that had only been done for leaders in the past. Russia also recently had a soviet style showoff of its military, showing off their guns. No doubt focused to The E.U. and U.S. and their allies!

Like was said, The circus continues…

This articles covers the a subject that is not talked about very often in the American News Media. Soldiers refusing to serve in war and therefore committing desertion. Most of these soldiers go to Canada to seek refuge but, a handful such as Matthis Chiroux have decided to fight in a court of law. This articles from to use from AFP. Link to full article.

Matthis Chiroux is the kind of young American US military recruiters love.

“I was from a poor, white family from the south, and I did badly in school,” the now 24-year-old told AFP.

“I was ‘filet mignon’ for recruiters. They started phoning me when I was in 10th grade,” or around 16 years old, he added.

Chiroux joined the US army straight out of high school nearly six years ago, and worked his way up from private to sergeant.

He served in Afghanistan, Germany, Japan, and the Philippines and was due to be deployed next month in Iraq. On Thursday, he refused to go, saying he considers Iraq an illegal war.

“I stand before you today with the strength and clarity and resolve to declare to the military, my government and the world that this soldier will not be deploying to Iraq,” Chiroux said in the sun-filled rotunda of a congressional building in Washington.

“My decision is based on my desire to no longer continue violating my core values to support an illegal and unconstitutional occupation… I refuse to participate in the Iraq occupation,” he said, as a dozen veterans of the five-year-old Iraq war looked on.

Minutes earlier, Chiroux had cried openly as he listened to former comrades-in-arms testify before members of Congress about the failings of the Iraq war.

The testimonies were the first before Congress by Iraq veterans who have turned against the five-year-old war.

Former army sergeant Kristofer Goldsmith told a half-dozen US lawmakers and scores of people who packed into a small hearing room of “lawless murders, looting and the abuse of countless Iraqis.”

He spoke of the psychologically fragile men and women who return from Iraq, to find little help or treatment offered from official circles.

Goldsmith said he had “self-medicated” for several months to treat the wounds of the war.

This is an interesting article from CNN concerning the flooding in Myanmar. Myanmar has been under military rule since around 1962 and the current government is reluctant to accept foreign aid. The death toll of the Cyclone Nargis is not yet clear but, the highest estimates puts at around 100,000 to 200,000. More to come later.

(CNN) — After days of stonewalling, the Myanmar government is ready to accept aid from around the world for victims of Saturday’s deadly cyclone, the country’s U.N. ambassador said Friday.

 Myanmar’s ambassador to the United Nations, Kyaw Tint Swe, made his statement during a special U.N. session during which several diplomats slammed the Myanmar government.

British Ambassador John Sawers called Myanmar’s refusal to let aid workers in as the death toll mounts “an appalling crisis” and labeled the government’s actions “inexplicable and inexcusable.”

The Myanmar envoy responded, “We are ready to speed up and strengthen our relief effort. We will accept aid from any corner.”

The ambassador from Singapore tried to defuse the anger aimed at Myanmar, urging those in the special session not to politicize the situation.

John Holmes, the U.N. coordinator for humanitarian affairs, told the delegates that the death toll from Cyclone Nargis ranges from 63,000 to 100,000, well above the Myanmar government’s announced toll of 22,000.

Most of the victims were in the Irrawaddy Delta, where as many as 6 million people lived. The low-lying region bore the brunt of the storm. Officials have said that about 2,000 square miles of land there is under water.

The victims’ plight could worsen this week as heavy rain is forecast, according to The Associated Press. 

But Holmes said the exact scale of the catastrophe is unknown because of the government’s refusal to let disaster assessment teams into the country.

It is known that thousands are without food, shelter and clean water, and aid workers say boats and helicopters are needed to reach remote areas.

The United Nations has issued a “flash appeal” to its members to raise $187.3 million in cyclone relief for Myanmar. That amount is based on a quick assessment of needs by more than 20 organizations, and it includes $56 million for food, nearly $50 million for logistics and about $20 million for shelter.
