    The brave new global world of smart appliances and stage-managed spin

    Unfortunately too many environmental groups in Australia have taken up unquestionably supporting smart grid technology as a “Green” energy saving sustainable initiative to the point that it has become a mantra not to be questioned. However, a presentation at an APEC conference however paints a different picture. In my opinion, its not about creating a

    Is Michael Repacholi the world’s best Whirling Dervish?

    Repacholi encourages parents to get their children into using mobile devices as soon as possible. What the hell is going on? First we have the Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (RNCNIRP) issuing a warning about the potential dangers to children from their use of wireless devices.http://www.emfacts.com/2012/06/wi-fi-recommendations-from-the-russian-national-committee-on-non-ionizing-radiation-protection-rncnirp/ To quote in part: Electromagnetic radiation from

    More on CTV’s supposedly independent reporting: Bell Canada bought 100 percent of CTV Inc. for $1.3 billion in 2010

    As a follow up to my blog of 28 June, titled “Canada TV caught out passing off industry spin as an investigative report”, it now turns out that CTV, Canada’s largest private broadcasting network, is 100% owned by Bell Canada (telecom).

    Canada TV caught out passing off industry spin as an investigative report

    From Iris Atzmon: CTV Disguised Infomercial as Investigative Report Is professional ETHICS part of CTV’s journalism? An Industry-funded and industry-affiliated infomercial was disguised as credible science by CTV News’ investigation on Wi-Fi radiation in schools. This piece is a poor attempt to offer false security to the public by using a flawed protocol and skewed

    According to a new “study”, Mothers now prefer handing over smartphones rather than dummies to comfort crying babies‏

    It seems that the smart phone retailer Asda, perhaps not satisfied with the take up of smart phones, has commissioned a PR survey that has conveniently found that smart phones for babies are fast replacing dummies for comfort. For more on David Fletcher, Asda’s mobile phone expert mentioned in the below article see: http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2012/06/15/motorola-razr-xt910-now-at-asda-with-price-undercut/ Watch

    Silencing an ‘inconvenient’ voice in the Czech Republic

    And now a brief look at the Czech Republic’s 2001 acquiescence to ICNIRP. The following is extracted from my thesis, The Procrustean Approach. Chapter 4: IEEE’s thermal paradigm spreads internationally, pp. 173 – 175. Unfortunately this is how modern science works on behalf of ICNIRP.

    Just as what happened in Sweden, where an initiative to reduce EMF and chemical exposures in the workplace was eliminated because it was inconvenient to economic interests, [ Link: http://www.emfacts.com/download/no_risk_Feb_7.pdf] much the same is now happening in Italy. I suspect that part of an economic bailout for the ravaged Italian economy is an unquestioning adherence
