Living in Nuclear Fallout, Today

As spectral electromagnetic pollution in the United States continues unmonitored, people continue to die. Recent news articles report cancer, by the year 2010, will overcome heart disease as America’s number one killer. In my hometown of Fayetteville, NC people die of cancer at an unusually high rate. My uncle died of liver cancer in the l990’s. His daughter has breast cancer. My aunt has breast cancer. My sister developed Spinocerebellar Ataxia her freshman year of college, the same year I was diagnosed with Keratoconus. Katherine Ray, who sang in the St. John’s Episcopal Church Youth Choir, died of lung cancer in her twenties. Tony Eldridge, on whom my sister had a crush, recently died of lung cancer. Steve White, a childhood friend who lived next door to Tony, has been diagnosed with Lou Gehrig’s disease. Julie Smith developed Leukemia. Rudy Navidad and Ernie Plummer died cancer. All of us should be asking Erin Brokovich what makes Fayetteville different than other towns in America? Steve and Tony lived near each other in front of three huge radio antennas. My sister and brother-in-law do not live far from those same towers now. Federal research has proven electromagnetic radiation is harmful to the human body using the bombs of Nagasaki and Hiroshima as examples. While there is some irony intended in that statement, many people don’t realize nuclear radiation is no different than radiation from other frequencies of the electromagnetic spectrum. It has a higher frequency, but it is exactly the same entity. Has anyone noticed television, movies, and real life don’t look exactly the same as they did two decades ago? That is because the visible light spectrum, a small portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, is being modulated by pollution. That pollution is frequencies of the spectrum the FCC formerly would not license for health reasons. With the recent surge of cell phone use and the viability of telecommunications as a business model, lobbyists successfully have bullied the FCC into comercially offering the frequencies. As a result Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Blackberry’s have flourished at the expense of the health of the American public. The Department of Defense's communications with their submarines is a military priority but at the expense of coral reefs, whales, and other marine life. We rapidly are reaching a point where military defense has taken priority over the survival of the human race. It has become clear the threat to humankind no longer is rogue nuclear nations but man’s energy and defense needs. Have we become so shallow to jeopardize the serenity of the human race for petty social issues? We as the world's nations cannot put human needs in front of the needs of arrogant Imperialists? Main Street not only is having their safes emptied but their health jeopardized, and if it doesn’t stop there will be no human race left of which to take advantage.
