For Cell Phone Users

Today, there are more than two billion cell phone users being exposed every day to the dangers of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) -- dangers government regulators and the cell phone industry refuse to admit exist," wrote Sue Kovach in a 2007 Life Extension Magazine report. "Included are: genetic damage, brain dysfunction, brain tumors, and other conditions such as sleep disorders and headaches."

For the very first time, a supreme court has ruled that using mobile or cordless phones is directly linked to causing brain tumors, affirming what many scientists have been saying for years now about the dangers of cell phone radiation. The U.K.'s Telegraph reports that 60-year-old Innocente Marcolini, who developed a tumor in his trigeminal nerve, was ruled to have suffered this fate as a result of using his mobile handset for up to six hours every day for 12 years.

According to Italy's Supreme Court in Rome, there is a "causal link" between Marcolini's mobile phone use and the non-cancerous tumor that caused the entire left side of his face to become paralyzed. A respected oncologist and professor of environmental mutagenesis, Dr. Angelo Gino Levis, along with neurosurgeon Dr. Guiseppe Grasso, provided evidence at a recent trial showing that the electromagnetic radiation emitted from mobile and cordless phones damages cells.

"This is significant for very many people," said Marcolini to reporters about his case's ruling. "I wanted this problem to become public because many people still do not know the risks. I wanted it recognized that there was a link between my illness and the use of mobile phones and cordless phones," he added, noting that he now has to take the extremely powerful painkiller morphine every single day just to cope with his the agony.

Though Marcolini's brain tumor is non-cancerous, it still reportedly threatened to kill him because it had been encroaching on his carotid artery, which is the major blood vessel responsible for transporting blood to the brain. The tumor also developed directly next to where Marcolini typically held his phone next to his ear, illustrating how significantly mobile phone radiation can disrupt proper brain cell function.

Last year, the World Health Organization (WHO) ruled that mobile phone devices are a "Possible Human Carcinogen," and added them to the Class 2B carcinogens list. Earlier this year, researchers out of Washington also came forward with research showing that cell phone radiation causes significant damage to DNA, which can lead to cancer.

NATO Summit Causes Shutdown Of Cell Phone Use

Reports suggest local law enforcement agencies are considering shutting down cell phone services in Chicago over the weekend and while it will most likely be very effective, many are questioning if the move is legitimate.

The Daily Beast reports that the FBI and Secret Service have standing authority to jam signals and they can also push for the shutdown of cell towers, thanks to “Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) 303,” which lays out the nation’s official “Emergency Wireless Protocols.”

According to the National Communications System, the protocol details a “shutdown and restoration process for use by commercial and private wireless networks during national crises.”

It was created after the London bombings in 2005, when federal security services shut off cellular networks in New York’s tunnel, fearing a similar attack. Since then, cell phone jammers have been used in situations like President Obama’s inauguration, with the Secret Service claiming there was a bomb threat, as well as a number of other cases.

Most recently, however, cell phone service was suspended in San Francisco, where police of the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) subway system temporarily shut down cell service to interfere with a protest over a shooting by a BART police officer.

Initially, the BART police claimed they had appealed to the cellular providers to cut off services but later admitted to pulling the plug themselves. The American Civil Liberties Union called this move “the first and only known time a government agency in the US has blocked electronic communications as a way to quell social unrest.”

The possibility of the situation repeating itself in Chicago is not one the public is fond of. Apart from the obvious indignation at civil rights violations, people all over the web are posing perfectly reasonable questions such as what if they have to call 911?

What if they have a family emergency? And why should those not involved with Occupy Chicago or any other protest movements suffer service disruptions?

The irony of the situation is, of course, in the fact that the US security services are considering doing something they’ve condemned others for.

Just a month ago, President Barack Obama announced a plan to penalize authoritarian regimes that block internet access for protesters.

The penalties will be aimed at countries like Syria and Iran that use technology to enable human-rights abuses against dissidents – but to many, this is a perfect example of double standards.

This potential development is just one of the drastic security measures Chicago law enforcement agencies are considering.

They’ve also invested as much as $1 million on riot-control equipment, including at least one long-range acoustic device, or LRAD, and upgrades to shields to be worn by the police.
