Read here about this dangerous new system inflicted on the UK Public and Police. Tetra covers The whole of the UK so every citizen is at risk. The government are aware of the dangers, expert reports have been made available to the government (see The Trower Report below for example, a confidential report written for The Police) outlining the affects to health, especially for the users. Most of the fire service have wisely rejected the system due to it being unsafe, although they have been, and continue to be under immense pressure to take on the system reluctantly and the government have been quite underhand in the way it has dealt with the fire service. (this annoys me as the fire service deserve much more respect for the job they have chosen, and they don't seem to get it from many places in the UK).

Have YOU suffered any ill effects from TETRA? Apart from the health risks obvious signs of Tetra may have been that TV interference you have been getting lately? Have a look at the pic further down the page, Classic Tetra Interference. (named tyre tracks due to the lines) Pic below


TETRA, & GSM quotes
TETRA Masts

"Microwave radiation can blind you, alter your behavior, cause genetic damage, even kill you......The risks have been hidden from you by the Pentagon, the State Department, and the electronics industry." Paul Brodeur: historian and crusader

Bowart's allegations about the CIA using ultrasonic waves on the human brain to control the behavior pattern of entire cities confirms information I received in 1974 about the same project.    A reliable source of information told me that a radio tower and a tall bank tower in San Francisco were going to extend a beam to have virtual radio control of that entire city. He informed me that the radio frequencies would make meditation impossible. The radio towers were being utilized for future control of our minds.    The same week that I received this information, an article in the Los Angeles Times appeared mentioning the use of radio beams over large cities to control the population.

Medium sized microwave ovens are  rated around 700W while the focussed power of a typical base-station main beam is likely to be at least 3,000W EIRP. from each antenna. (This EIRP measurement simply shows what an un-focussed antenna radiating in all directions would have to put out for the same beam strength). For one antenna the licence permits a maximum total power in 1800 MHz band of 24,000W EIRP. The lower typical power presently radiated is mainly because of technical limitations. [Stewart report 4.31-4.32]

TETRA: suspicious lack  of quality for purely communication?
 
It sounds wonderful. So why are we already hearing about interference problems? Radios needing to be turned off when near life-support equipment (difficult at many Road Traffic Accidents, etc.) or even when near breathalysers or vehicle speed check equipment....Having just one user per radio signal is not an efficient way to use radio frequencies......electronic equipment operation is interfered with by pulsing signals, and the slower they pulse, the harder it is to filter them out.......When they were first brought out there were some extraordinary examples of interference problems. On one make of coach, the electronically controlled automatic gearbox would change gear at the wrong time when passengers in certain seats used a GSM phone. This sort of incident led to mobile-phone bans in hospitals and on aircraft......You would have thought that this would have made the TETRA committees careful about their choice of pulsing frequency. Apparently not, for they chose 17.6Hz, a much worse pulse rate for interference effects, not only with equipment but also with people.  It can only be that there were no experts on bioelectromagnetics on these committees.....No human safety work has so far been done using TETRA signals

Surveillance
The radical new system, which has outraged civil liberties groups, uses mobile phone masts to allow security authorities to watch vehicles and individuals 'in real time' almost anywhere in Britain. The technology 'sees' the shapes made when radio waves emitted by mobile phone masts meet an obstruction. ...... This allows anything moving, such as cars or people, to be tracked. ..... By using receivers attached to mobile phone masts, users of the new technology could focus in on areas hundreds of miles away and bring up a display showing any moving vehicles and people. .... Researchers are working to give the new equipment 'X-ray vision' - the capability to 'see' through walls and look into people's homes. [Media 2002] How mobile phones let spies see our every move

I sort of campaign to help genuinely inquisitive people get past the falsely promoted idea that the towers are for cellphones, by the way. They're simply not; they're for destroying the atmosphere and for making everyone sick. They're also used to target individuals in the population in conjunction with GPS.  Having said that, the tech used on the towers is so secret that anyone who claims to know the inner workings more or less discredits himself, I believe. Those secrecy oaths are pretty binding because the folks who work on secret predatory tech must have gotten a graphic demonstration of what happens when any of them spills his gust to the public Genuine cell communication transmitters are quite small and are easily installed on phone poles and cheap towers; they don't need to be on towers that are designed to withstand artillery barrages, nor are fifty panels on a tower, every thousand yards, needed to handle the communication traffic. When I ask even some PJ folks why the cell coverage and quality didn't improve after these millions of new towers were put up three years ago, some of them even say, 'Now that you mention it, service is even worse now than it was before these cell towers were built!'  
    Cellphone transmitters require very little electricity; all of the death towers have massive cable bundles running up along and inside of them and these towers are obviously not on the commercial electricity grid, except perhaps the few that are put on high tension towers. They also have reinforced concrete generator shacks beside them, surrounded by high, barbed-wire fences. One rarely hears these generators in operation, so the power's coming from a non-evident source, probably underground and unmarked.  The problem is that these simple observations challenge people to consider the depth of the ancient conspiracy to destroy freedom on our planet.

GSM & TETRA close to brain frequencies: for mind control/assault?
In GSM, the basic ‘flash rate’ is 217Hz; these flashes are, however, emitted in groups of 25 (each group being defined by the absence of the 26th flash) at the rate of 8.34Hz a frequency lying in the range of the human alpha brain wave activity.

‘The potential for the development of a number of antipersonnel applications is suggested by the research published in the USSR, East Europe and the West. Sounds and possibly even words which appear to be originating intracranially can be induced by signal modulation at very low average power densities. Combinations of frequencies and other signal characteristics to produce other neurological effects may be feasible in several years. The possibility of inducing metabolic disorders also suggested. Animal experiments reported in the open literature have demonstrated the use of low level microwave signals to produce death by heart seizure or by neurological pathologies resulting from breaching of the blood-brain barrier’.    

More disturbing is that the low frequencies that characterise the GSM/TETRA pulsing are close to those at which it is known that human mood and behaviour can be influenced in a number of ways (ranging from depression/docility to rage), depending on the kind/ frequency of modulation used, it being actually possible to induce sounds, and even words, intercranially by appropriate modulations of the microwave signal. Exposure to GSM & TETRA Base-station Radiation can Adversely Affect Humans by G J Hyland

Roger Coghill, an independent research scientist and a member of the Department of Health's UK mobile telecommunications health research programme, said: "A criminal could not have come up with a better system. They couldn't have chosen a better frequency with which to disarm and debilitate the very forces that are trying to secure their arrest."

The TETRA system pulses at 17.6 Hz broadcast at 400 MHz which is essentially the Pandora Project funded by the CIA in the late '60s and early '70s. Dr Ross Adey, the chief researcher on the Pandora Project has released a video to leading UK researchers which proves that not only does the TETRA system cause ELF zombification by massive release of calcium ions in the cerebral cortex and the nervous system, but the activated calcium ions also cause massive hormonal disturbances which lead to frenzied imbalances, emotional and physical states......
    Use of the TETRA system by the police will lead to psychotronicaly controlled officers who may be totally controlled in any situation and are very useful for states of economic or social chaos where extreme and violent behaviour is needed without any conscious or moral compunction - so-called police robots.

Pulse radiation from TETRA at 17.6 Hz (waves per second) is known to interfere with our natural brains rhythm. Our brains generate their own waves within our head. One of these waves, called beta waves is on a very similar frequency to the TETRA handsets. What happens is: If you could imagine yourself jumping on a trampoline and somebody larger and heavier jumps on and dances at a slightly different speed you will bounce at their pace rather than yours. When they jump off you will still bounce at their speed. The jumping on of the person onto the trampoline is known as entrainment and this occurs when the TETRA is used in close proximity to an officer's brain. Because TETRA affects the beta rhythm of the brain it will affect what the beta rhythm is responsible for; namely sounds judgement in emergency situations. Entrainment is always followed by a phenomena called long-term potentiation. This is an analogous to the person getting off the trampoline leaving you dancing. Long-term potentiation has been known to last several weeks after the initial source has died down. The implications for this are that the officers' brain waves would continue to suffer entrainment even after the sets have been switched off, which would be reinforced every time the sets are switched on again. *see condfidential Trower Report below. Certain brain activities trigger people on Prozac to become homicidal or suicidal. Thanks to research by Illuminati controlled companies, the Network knows exactly how to used ELF waves vectored on a particular person by 3 separate towers to stimulate the Prozac controlled brain to murder. This is being used to increase acts of anarchy and violence in order to help insure anti-gun legislation. If a slave doesn’t comply or needs to be thrown from the Freedom Train they can become a useable statistic. Simply trigger them to murder and then watch the police gun them down. The NWO gains one more statistic and another case to scare the public into accepting gun control. The Illuminati Formula 6. The Use of Electricity & Electronics

On page 4 it is quoted "the Government was warned about the issue last year. The Stewart Report into mobile phones recommended research into pulsed signals and suggested the technology be avoided, as a precautionary measure amplitude modulation (pulses) around 16 Hz should be avoided if possible". He continues "what the frequency of 17.6 Hz is doing is duplicating microwave weapons which you buy at arms fairs. So by holding one of these devices to their heads they are putting a small microwave weapon to their head every time they use it". He finishes "but there is enough to warrant asking why the system is being rolled out before the proper research has been conducted into an effect which not only falls outside all the existing regulations but which the Government advises on mobile phones believes it important enough they recommend the technology not to be used and which the military authorities apparently believe is so powerful that they can design non-lethal weapons to disrupt the minds of their targets". Here the NRPB agree that the phenomena of non-lethal weapons exists because they say that with a frequency of 8 waves per second into the brain, animals can be made to go to sleep, or be stimulated at higher frequencies. To me this simple statement by the NRPB verifies the non-lethal weapons programme as sound.

In quoting this research I refer to documents listed under Reference 15. So sophisticated is this research, and I refer to Operation Pandora Joint CIA/MI6 Operation since the 1960s, Operation Woodpecker USSR 1976, Operation HAARP still running in USA; they are able to define specific pulse frequencies to cause specific brain malfunctions or illnesses. For instance: 4.5: Illness Caused, 6.6: Depression/Suicide, 11: Manic behaviour/Anger, 25:Blindness if aimed at the head/Heart attack if aimed at the chest.  Other consequences of frequencies used but not listed here are hysteria, trauma, lust, murder and cancer, and may all be induced.

The GWEN towers can be used for several purposes, including ELF waves used for direct mind control which will be covered toward the back of this chapter. Because they also are part of the implants system they are included before the chapter discusses implants. Unfortunately for us humans, ELF waves can penetrate almost anything. The U.S. Military has built a Ground-Wave Emergency Network (GWEN) all over the U.S. with several hundred 300-500' GWEN towers that broadcast a very-low-frequency wave (VLF) for mind-control of the American public. A single GWEN tower can broadcast up to 300 miles in a 3600 circle. Plus 8 secret powerful ELF transmitters have been established and 3 of them operate on the west coast. It also needs to be pointed out that many items that are receivers can also function in the role of transmitters. Televisions, cellular phones, even air conditioners can be used to bounce signals to somewhere. Many strange towers and transmitting devices have been installed all over the U.S. in recent years.

These researchers believe the natural resonant vibrational frequency of the skull bones (the cranium) ranges from 840 to 890 MHz in non-herzian waves. This range was reserved for VHF television, but has now been reserved for the national cellular telephone network. When the 840 to 890 range was used for television, various neurologists noted that certain signals related to particular pitches and sounds would trigger reactions in people. For instance, the NY Times 7/11/91 reported that according to a neurologist an epileptic seizure was triggered via certain television signals. Cellular phones are now being used to transmit faxes, computer information such as modems transmit, and other signals. Illuminati connected companies of IBM, Motorola, and GE are some of the companies working with cellular phone technology. The creation of vibrations via cellular phone signals in the 840 to 890 MHz non-herzian wave range could conceivably implant thoughts into a victim near the cellular phone. This raises two questions. First, IS the establishment’s big push to popularize cellular phone use, even to the point of giving out free cellular phones, part of Big Brother’s mind-control? Second, since it appears the brains ability to creatively think is related to the vibrations that are subtly made in the skull, the question naturally poses itself--can cranial osteopathy disrupt or alter the natural abilities of the cranium’s plates to vibrate?

The industry "Experts", and government agencies corrupted:
"You will hear statements by supposed experts, always the same few in the pay of the telecommunications industry, to the effect that cell-phones/cell towers/microwave radiation have been proven safe in countless studies". It is an easy lie, one that the news media have been eager to propagate".........On 4th July 2004 Dr. Keith Baverstock who was the World Health Organisation's Senior Radiation Advisor in Europe, says that science has been perverted for political ends by Government agencies, which should be protecting Public Health.Such studies don't exist.  TETRA: A Critical Overview into the death of Officer Neil Dring

The NRPB already acknowledges that there is international consensus on the fact that the incidence of childhood leukaemia is doubled at a magnetic field of 0.4 microtesla, which is exceeded under most powerlines. In March 2004, the NRPB reduced the national magnetic field exposure guidelines from 1,600 microtesla to 100 microtesla [3]. They said "In the light of these findings (the association between exposure to magnetic fields and childhood leukaemia) and the requirement for additional research, the need for further precautionary measures should be considered by government". However, 100 microtesla is still 250 times higher than the level (0.4 microtesla) at which the risk of developing childhood leukaemia is doubled. [TEAC Press Release 8th Sept 2004] Childhood leukaemia risk doubles within 100 metres of high voltage power lines - damning results known for 3 years.

I learned that in February 1996, Congress had passed a law prohibiting local governments from denying permits for cell phone antennae because of environmental concerns - so long as they comply with Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules. I also learned that the FCC had just issued regulations setting public exposure limits for microwave radiation at levels at least ten thousand times higher than levels which, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, were causing reports of illness from all over the world. Levels that are at least ten thousand times higher than the levels that had forced me to leave behind my home, my family, and my friends, and to run for my life, never to be able to return home again.   The problem with the microwave communications industry is that they do not have to prove it is safe; you have to prove it is not, and that is an entirely different ball game. As a scientist, if I develop a new pill I have to run a 5 or 10 year clinical trial and convince a Board of my peers that it is safe before I have permission to release the pill onto the market. With the telecommunications industry the tables are completely turned around. They do not have to show these instruments are safe; you have to show they are not.

The problem as I see it is that when it comes to asking about safety concerning TETRA or any other communication instrument there is not one single independent person to give an answer. Every single person who has a word to say about the safety of police officers is somehow in the "food chain" going back to the communications industry. The communications industry fund the NRPB and the Government who fund Microwave Consultants Limited so every single person has a financial interest in recommending the product. 

I find it absolutely beyond belief that the NRPB can admit they have very little information on a system that is already being used and to say that no numerical modelling appears to have been carried out suggests to me as a scientist that no measurements have been taken to assess any medical damage which may occur to the officers. What experimentation has been done (Gabriel 2000), appears to have been carried out by Mr Gabriel of Microwave Consultants Limited. As this research could possibly affect what may turn out to be brain tumours or spine cancers for the lady or gentlemen officers I would feel justified as a Police Federation in asking which totally independent scientists not connected in any way to the Government or communications industry peer reviewed this research paper and what were there comments?

ICNIRP's thermally based approach has been proven many times to be wrong in terms of scientific evidence and public health standard methodology. There is sufficient epidemiological evidence to establish a cause and effect relationship between chronic low level EMR exposure and many adverse health effects, including cardiac, neurological, reproductive and cancer effects. The dose response relationships indicate a cancer and reproductive problem threshold near zero.

ICNIRP's statement about Beall et al. (1996) and Grayson (1996) is demonstrably scientifically wrong and misleading. It reveals a strong predetermination to dismiss evidence of effects.

Thus it is grossly wrong for the report of Royal Society of NZ to claim that "no effects have been reported from occupational exposure" and "nor are there any indications of adverse health effects on humans, other than from spark discharges and shock from direct contact". This is so grossly misleading and dishonest, that it puts this report's credibility, and that of the Royal Society of New Zealand, seriously at risk. In coming to its conclusions the Royal Society of NZ relied heavily on the Director of the National Radiation Laboratory, Dr Andrew McEwan.  Scientists and the public expect much more scientific accuracy and integrity from Government employees who advise the Minister of Health, and of the Royal Society.  

From a court case towards the end of 1998 Dr McKinlay was questioned in court about the use of mobile phones. Dr McKinlay is a senior scientist in the NRPB. It is known that roughly half of the NRPB's funding comes from the industries it represents, the other half of its funding comes from the Government. In court Dr McKinlay explained that data on tissue conductivity was supplied to the NRPB by Dr Camelia Gabriel of Microwave Consultants Limited. It transpired that virtually none of the NRPB documents on non-ionising radiation are peer reviewed and that Dr McKinlay himself had not authored any experimental studies. Dr McKinlay admitted he had no biological expertise. Dr Camelia Gabriel is Director of Microwave Consultants Limited and she reports to the Home Office and the Health & Safety Executive. She is also Chairman of the European Standardisation Body.
    To summarise, the NRPB subcontract research on microwave radiation to Microwave Consultants Limited; namely Dr Camelia Gabriel. Dr Camelia Gabriel is also a senior consultant for Orange plc and has authored jointly with others the Orange Base Stations Health & Safety Manual (please see Appendices 14 and 15). Dr Gabriel's son, also of Microwave Consultants Limited, confirms the safety of transmitters for Orange plc in school playgrounds (Appendix 16). This dual interest between Dr Camelia Gabriel as representing the NRPB and Orange plc was picked up and reported on, on 19 April 1999, by The Observer where Sarah Ryle writes "concerns are increasing about industry's involvement in research. Some of the NRPB's conclusions have been based on research by Dr Camelia Gabriel, a technical advisor to network operator Orange and Head of Private Consultancy, Microwave (Appendix 17).

Baverstock, now advising the UK government as a member of the Committee on Radioactive Waste Management, delivered a fierce attack on government scientists. He accused the National Radiological Protection Board (NRPB) of “misusing” science in their studies of nuclear test veterans.  “Politics, aided and abetted by some in the scientific community, has poisoned the well which sustains democratic decision-making,” he told a conference on low-level radiation in Edinburgh yesterday.  Grayson (1996) is far from a no effects" study. Thus far consistently the ICNIRP claims are scientifically wrong and misleading. This study does show a small but statistically significant increase in brain tumour from RF/MW exposure......WHO and ICNIRP base non-ionizing radiation protection standards on a single biological mechanism, Tissue Heating. They systematically reject or ignore all epidemiological and animal evidence of non-thermal effects, for which there is a large body.......The ICNIRP assessment of biological mechanisms is reviewed and found to be selective, limited and flawed. Their assessment of RF/MW effects on reproductive outcomes is shown to be limited, misleading and flawed. The cancer assessment is shown to be selective, misleading, inappropriate and flawed. An incorrect epidemiological approach is consistently applied.......This is a woefully inadequate and thoroughly unprofessional treatment of this large and significant epidemiological study. The ICNIRP response represents a total misunderstanding or misrepresentation of epidemiology and the results of this study.

ICNIRP is playing its own game and setting its own rules. It is the game that is played by national authorities which, as a team, they feel very comfortable with it. The name of the team is "The Consensus of Science". However, it involves quite a small and very select team that includes national experts who come from national authorities who subscribe to the rules of the ICNIRP game. In the ICNIRP game the first rule is that there is only a tissue heating effect from RF/MW exposure. You must agree with this rule to play the ICNIRP game. As a consequence of this rule, in the ICNIRP game, all other biological effects are not real and any epidemiological study that shows an effect with non-thermal exposure, must be faulty and will be rejected. In other words, if you break this rule you are out of the game. In this game it is fine to change the rules about acceptable significant, what is evidence, and criteria for how a biological effect is established. In this game a study does not provide evidence until it has been exactly replicated. You set up 13 criteria which must be achieved for an experiment to be reliable, for example Meltz (1995). If even one criteria is breached then you can reject the findings. Similarly the ICNIRP team uses the Bradford-Hill Criteria to criticize and reject all epidemiological studies. One criticism, valid or not, is sufficient to reject a whole study.    One of the primary reasons many skeptics about EMR health effects, such as ICNIRP, use to dismiss studies that show statistically significant effects and even dose-response relationships, is their claim of the lack of a plausible biological mechanism. When a study reveals a significant biological effect at nonthermal levels then groups such as the ICNIRP state that it must be independently replicated before it can be accepted as an established biological mechanism. Based on this criteria calcium ion efflux/influx, GABA fluxes, melatonin reduction, DNA damage, chromosome aberrations and altered proto oncogenes are established biological mechanisms. All have been reported from two or more independent laboratories, most in 4 or more laboratories.  

ICNIRP (1998) quotes Cohen et al. (1977) which found no association between radar exposure and Down's syndrome in their off-spring. They failed to mention a previous paper from the same group, Sigler et al, (1965), which did find a significant risk from parental radar exposure.

ICNIRP consistently uses very simple statements to dismiss any adverse effects. Every time a careful consideration of principles, methods, application of epidemiological approaches and consideration of the actual data and exposure regimes, produces a significantly different conclusion. And when sets of studies are considered together, very strong conclusions are drawn. These studies are no exception.

The three challenges in this report of the ICNIRP assessment, of using the wrong methodology and of using Constructive Dismissal to defend their flawed methodology, and neglecting a large body of epidemiological research, have been proven.

For ICNIRP to concentrate on and rely on a single biological mechanism, Tissue Heating, is inappropriate and wrong. Large portions of official documents are devoted to extensive discourses on SARs and determination of the thermal threshold. This whole methodology is flawed. Health effects assessments start with epidemiological evidence and the existence of a plausible biological mechanism is irrelevant.
    WHO, ICNIRP and their international and national counterparts have developed a highly sophisticated system of approaches to dismiss all epidemiological evidence and animal and cellular evidence which conflicts with their RF-Thermal view of the world. As the epidemiological and laboratory evidence has grown stronger and stronger, the dismissive methodology has lost all sophistication and, as demonstrated by ICNIRP (1998), it is blatantly selective, reductionist, biased and scientifically dishonest.
    It is scientifically dishonest because it cites papers that clearly report significant increases in cancer as showing no evidence of cancer. It deliberately chooses to accept conclusions that claim no association between radar and health effects when the data in the report or paper proves that this is incorrect. ICNIRP also includes studies in its assessment that are incapable of showing effects, as though they provide evidence that there are no effects........I strongly contend that the approach and conclusions of ICNIRP and the WHO position is methodologically and factually scientifically flawed. They place public health severely and demonstrably at risk.

Conscious of the reported illnesses, 19 of the world's top scientists met at Salzburg in the year 2000 and set a maximum level of microwaves entering the body at 0.1 units. Some other countries allow slightly more in the way of units, such as the Toronto Health Board, which allows 6 units, Russia, Italy and China 10 units. The International Commission for Tetra allow 208 units and our own NRPB allow 2,640 units. To put this into perspective, if you were to go to a chemist and the chemist said to you, you may take 1/10th of one pill, or 208 pills or 2,640 pills, clearly somebody has to be wrong. We allow the highest level of microwave radiation into our bodies in the world.

Non-Thermal effects
The popular belief that adverse health effects can be induced only by the heating effect of GSM radiation is a fallacyThis critique will show that some key non-thermal biological mechanisms are well established by replication in many independent laboratories. These established biological mechanisms are totally supportive of and consistent with a large body of epidemiological evidence, which includes many statistically significant associations and dose-response relationships. In doing so this critique will show that the ICNIRP assessment takes a predetermined dismissive approach that is highly selective and unscientific. It even involves deliberate and repeated misquoting and misrepresentation of study results. It becomes clear that the thermally based guideline is being defended at all costs, even at the cost of putting public health severely at risk all around the world.

The non-thermal effects identified by the Soviet researchers were often referred to as the "Radiofrequency Sickness Syndrome" or the "Microwave Syndrome". It has symptoms of functional changes in nervous and cardiovascular systems, such as headaches, fatigue, irritability, sleep disturbance, weakness, decreased libido, chest pains and bradychardia. Hypotonia (muscle weakness) and related symptoms had been reported in the USSR (Gordon, 1966), France (Deroche, 1971) and Israel (Moscovici et al., 1974). Western scientists rejected these symptoms as "subjective". A set of them have now been identified with cell phone usage, including a significant dose-response relationship, Mild et al. (1998).

ICNIRP's thermally based approach has been proven many times to be wrong in terms of scientific evidence and public health standard methodology. There is sufficient epidemiological evidence to establish a cause and effect relationship between chronic low level EMR exposure and many adverse health effects, including cardiac, neurological, reproductive and cancer effects. The dose response relationships indicate a cancer and reproductive problem threshold near zero. 

The general acceptance or complacency about the RF-thermal view was scientifically challenged time and time again throughout this period. For example, Dr Adey gave the introductory paper to this 1974 conference, Adey (1975), on the effects of EMR on the nervous system. In this paper he states:
    "Even a recent review body of the World Health Organization decided after discussion to dismiss from its concerns possible biological effects that might occur in the absence of significant heating. It has become clear, however, that interactions with the mammalian central nervous system can be reliably produced by oscillating electric and electromagnetic fields without significant heating of tissues."
    It is a very strong statement to say that interactions can be reliably produced in the CNS without the heating of tissues. Dr Adey refers to the work of nig and Wever in Germany and to work from his own laboratory, on behavioural effects, such as changed reaction times and altered circadian rhythms in ELF exposures. These effects were associated with induced electric field gradients in monkey phantoms in the range 0.1 to 0.01(V/cm. The effects were also linked to changes in EEG and significant effluxes of calcium ions and GABA, Kaczmarek and Adey (1973). During the 1970's was as shown that calcium ion efflux occurred at non-thermal exposure levels and was primarily related to modulation frequency, i.e. a non-thermal, possible resonant, biological mechanism.

In 1990 an internal review team of the U.S. E.P.A. recommended that ELF be classified as a probable human carcinogen and RF/MW as a possible human carcinogen. Under pressure from the Bush White House, EPA administrators changed the conclusions of the review and the classification never became official EPA policy, Sibbison (1990). The rationale was based on the preferred public policy stance "We don't want to scare the public". Public health protection was not considered as important..........Of all the major western authorities who are responsible for setting RF/MW exposure standards, the only body which is departed from solely considering thermal effects, was an internal review team of the U.S. E.P.A.. They also considered epidemiologic and animal evidence at non-thermal levels that did involve increases in cancer. However, they were not allowed to retain their recommended carcinogenic classification because EPA administrators bowed to political pressure.

Alternatively, taking the more traditional scientific and legal approach, there are three studies, from independent laboratories, which show significant increases in cancer in rodents at non-thermal levels of exposure to RF/MW radiation. Hence there is animal evidence to support the epidemiological evidence that RF/MW exposed populations develop significantly higher rates of cancer incidence and mortality. Both the animal evidence and the human evidence covers a wide range of RF/MW exposure conditions. Across the same frequency range multiple independent laboratories have observed significant DNA-strand breakage and enhanced chromosome aberrations. Hence there is strong evidence that RF/MW is genotoxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic and teratogenic in animals and people at non-thermal levels of RF/MW exposure.GSM (Cell phone towers) dangerous
"CAUTION:  STAY CLEAR OF PCS CELL PHONE SITE ANTENNAS The radiation in an operational system is similar to that of a MICROWAVE OVEN! Avoid the main lobe when servicing your tower."----Phillips Microtechnology Inc. is a Consultant & Manufacturer of Custom LNA and Filtering Equipment for Satcom & Terrestrial Microwave Receive Systems. http://www.tvtower.com/pcsband.html

The International EMF Seminar in China in October 2003 (sponsored by the World Health Organisation) revealed that in the last ten years, out of 154 studies on radiation similar to that emitted by the mobile phone industry, 88 (57%) of them have highlighted biological effects such as cancer, etc.

On November 14 1996, Omnipoint, New York City's first digital cellular provider, did open for business, broadcasting from thousands of antennae newly erected on the rooftops of apartment buildings. According to the health authorities, an early flu hit New York City - but not Boston, and not Philadelphia - on about 15 November. The flu was severe and ran a prolonged course, often dragging on for months instead of the usual two weeks.
    At Christmas time, the Cellular Phone Task Force placed a small classified ad in a free weekly newspaper. It read: 'If you have been ill since 11/15/96 with any of the following: eye pain, insomnia, dry lips, swollen throat, pressure or pain in the chest, headaches, dizziness, nausea, shakiness, other aches and pains, or flu that won't go away, you may be a victim of a new microwave system blanketing the city. We need to hear from you.' And we did hear from them. Hundreds called, men, women, whites, blacks, Asians, Latinos, doctors, lawyers, teachers, stockbrokers, airline stewards, computer operators. Most had woken up suddenly in mid-November, thinking they were having a stroke or a heart attack or a nervous breakdown, and were relieved to know they were not alone and not crazy.
    Later, I analysed weekly mortality statistics, which the Centres for Disease Control publish for122 US cities. Each of dozens of cities recorded a 10-25 per cent increase in mortality, lasting two to three months, beginning on the day in 1996 or 1997 on which that city's first digital cell phone network began commercial service.

The late Neil Cherry found that childhood cancer rates in San Francisco were a function of proximity to the antenna-laden Sutro Tower.

The 1970s brought a darker side to the story, with the news that the Russians were microwaving the US embassy in Moscow. One third of the staff eventually died of cancer from this microwave irradiation. Australian scientists proved in 1997, that tiny amounts of microwave produced by the very safest mobile phones, cause cancer in mice, when exposed to this radiation.

My research has found that microwave weapons are targeted on middle class troublemakers and researchers who cause problems for the establishment. Russian and American research has found that pulse modulated microwaves (as used for mobile phones) can, when modulated with ELF which mimics specific brain patterns change the behaviour of the victim at the flick of a switch. It has been found that UK security police, such as MI5 use the 450 MHz frequency used for this research (legally allowed to be used by the police) for behavioural control. A vast catalogue of mind control frequencies in the MHz range, FM radio, TV and mobile phone frequencies, have been measured, which are used in the UK for mind control and killing or disabling victims: 147, 153, 197, 199, 447, 453, 456, 466, 853, 883, 884, 887... Symptoms can be depression, befuddled thinking, loss of memory, stress, not being able to cope, manic behaviour, schizophrenia, nervous breakdowns, physical collapse, brain and nervous system damage, heart attacks, cancer.....Readings I have taken show that the 750-1000 MHz range is used by the intelligence services for inducing nervous and physical collapse. Microwave ovens give off 1000 MHz.

The author's flat is targeted with a 900 MHz beam which seems to be designed to cause massive neurological damage and produce tumours.

On July 4th 1976 seven giant transmitters in the Ukraine, powered by the Chernobyl nuclear facility, pumped a 100 megawatt radio frequency at the West, which contained a 10 Hz ELF mind control frequency. According to a US scientist, Dr. Andrija Puharich, MD, the soviet pulses covered the human brain frequencies. With a Dr. Bob Beck Andrija proved that the Soviet transmissions were a weapon. He found that a 6.66 Hz frequency would cause depression and an 11 Hz signal would cause manic and riotous behaviour. transmissions could indeed entrain the human brain, and thereby induce behavioural modification populations can be mind controlled en masse by ELF transmissions. More importantly he found that an ELF signal could cause cancer at the flick of a switch. It did this by modifying the function of the RNA transferases so that amino acid sequences are scrambled and produce unnatural proteins. Four children, aged between five and 10, at the Garcia Quintana primary school have been diagnosed with cancer since 36 powerful transmitters were installed 18 months ago on a building 50 metres away. [Media January 12, 2002 Madrid] Phone masts start Child Cancer scare

Telecom giant Orange has suspended operations at a school phone mast site in Paris after eight cases of cancer were confirmed among children in the district. Over the past few months parents have become increasingly concerned at the presence of two transmitters on the roof of the Ernest-Bizet school complex in the Saint-Cyr-l'Ecole quarter. Local mayor, Philippe Lavaud who has ordered the on-going health investigation to be extended to the whole district, described the suspension as " a victory for the precautionary principle." The local council recently prohibited the siting of base stations within a 300 metre radius and is also seeking to cancel contracts with telecomm operators agreed by the previous administration. The International EMF Seminar in China in October 2003 (sponsored by the World Health Organisation) revealed that in the last ten years, out of 154 studies on radiation similar to that emitted by the mobile phone industry, 88 (57%) of them have highlighted biological effects such as cancer, etc.

15.2 Hocking, Gordon, Grain and Hatfield (1996): Cancer incidence and mortality and proximity to TV towers.".....The strongest relationship is for childhood lymphatic leukaemia death, RR=2.74 (95%CI: 1.42-5.27). The study found that 59 children had died from having leukaemia when the expected number was 25.43, an excess of 33.6 deaths. For childhood lymphatic leukaemia 39 children died when 14.2 were expected, an excess of nearly 25 children, Table 22. The non-thermal effects identified by the Soviet researchers were often referred to as the "Radiofrequency Sickness Syndrome" or the "Microwave Syndrome". It has symptoms of functional changes in nervous and cardiovascular systems, such as headaches, fatigue, irritability, sleep disturbance, weakness, decreased libido, chest pains and bradychardia. Hypotonia (muscle weakness) and related symptoms had been reported in the USSR (Gordon, 1966), France (Deroche, 1971) and Israel (Moscovici et al., 1974). Western scientists rejected these symptoms as "subjective". A set of them have now been identified with cell phone usage, including a significant dose-response relationship, Mild et al. (1998). This evidence supports a causal relationship between EMR exposure and serious adverse reproductive outcomes such as miscarriage, prematurely, still birth, low birth weight, SIDS and congenital malformations. 

The data in Dolk et al. is internally consistent, shows elevated childhood leukaemia and brain tumor, and a set of dose-response relationships which are likely to be highly significant, if related to realistic radial RF patterns, for cancer at a wide range of body sites including All Cancer, Leukaemia, Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Brain Cancer, Bladder Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Skin Melanoma, Male and Female Breast Cancer and Colorectal Cancer. This is also consistent with Robinette et al. (1980), Szmigielski (1996) and Milham (1985, 1988).

Two Australian studies were carried out to assure the public that both cell phones and cell sites were safe. Both of these studies, Hocking et al. (1996) and Repacholi et al. (1997), showed that leukaemia/lymphoma was more than doubled for people and mice.  In conclusion, it can hardly be disputed that to enjoy an acceptable quality of life requires more than simply an absence of terminal disease. Adverse health effects in humans of the kinds already reported worldwide such as headaches, sleep disruption, impairment of short-term memory, etc. - whilst maybe not life-threatening in themselves, do nevertheless have a debilitating effect that undoubtedly affects general well-being, and which in the case of some children could well undermine their neurological and academic development, as is already evident from experience in the case of a number of infant/junior schools at which a GSM Base-station is located. It should be stressed, however, that, to date, the apparent absence on a global scale of more serious pathologies attributable to exposure to the emissions of GSM/TETRA Base-stations is no guarantee of immunity in the long-term; indeed, as mentioned earlier in Para.10, there is already an increasing number of reports [19] of unexplained clusters of cancers in the vicinity of certain GSM Base-stations, whose non-involvement remains to be established.

TETRA: Dangerous
Mandy's children are having nosebleeds. Andy sleeps with metal plates by his bed. Beat bobbies are reporting strange illnesses. They all blame the new police radio system[Media 23 November 2004] The mast crusaders

Alasdair Philips of Powerwatch said "I believe these new radios are highly dangerous.  Work has been done which shows that Tetra-like pulses put brain cells under severe stress.  Cells under stress are much more likely to develop cancer & dementia."......... "It is beyond belief that any one could be contemplating the rollout of a system like Tetra because of the evidence about the dangers of pulsed frequencies," he said. "To design a communications system based on these principles is mind numbing. The effects we may see could well be on a par with Gulf war syndrome. Six people including a chief inspector, other officers and civilian workers at a police station have blamed debilitating health complaints on a mast for a controversial new communications system yards from their desks. Chief Insp Steve Strong and his staff reportedly believe their bouts of dizziness and severe headaches began when a transmitter for the Tetra radio network was put up. Around 25 people living near the mast at the station in North Walsham, Norfolk, have complained of similar symptoms. Other reported health complaints include repeated nosebleeds, especially among children, disturbed sleep and skin problems. [Media 14 Aug 2004] Police blame health crisis on radio mast

FEARS WERE expressed yesterday that powerful radio masts and mobile phone transmitters could be responsible for almost a dozen cases of cancer, motor neurone disease and Parkinson's within a rural area of North East Fife.....within he last three years, this area had seen four cases of normally very rare motor neurone disease, four cases of thyroid cancer and several other cancers, a case of Parkinson's disease and a woman who developed ME. [Media 27/8/03 TETRA] Illness cluster raises fears over radio mast

A very substantial number of scientific studies into Motor Neurone Disease (MND) link death of these brain cells to an excess of calcium around them. These studies are not in any way related to research on electromagnetic field (EMF) effects, they are simply attempting to find out more about MND.......
    TETRA emissions modulated at 17.6 Hz stimulate increased calcium efflux, leading to increased calcium deposits around motor neurones (brain cells), leading to MND......Drumcarrow has also the misfortune of playing host to a large number of very serious medical conditions: various cancers, Parkinson’s Disease, ME, a variety of thyroid disorders - and a statistically highly significant number of cases of MND.  MND, as stated earlier, is a rare condition affecting only one in 50,000 people each year. In the small sparsely-populated region of Drumcarrow, four cases of this rare condition have been reported in just a few years. The likelihood of such a situation occurring by chance is so small that one could wait thousands of years and still have a less than evens chance of seeing it anywhere in a population the size of the UK - i.e. four cases within such a small group over such a short span of time.  17Hz is very close to the frequency (16Hz) at which radio-frequency /microwave radiation of sub-thermal intensities that is amplitude modulated in various ways - in particular, continuously (sinusoidally) and discontinuously (pulsed) - is reported, mainly under in vitro conditions, to cause: (i) a significant increase in loss (efflux) of calcium from brain cells, which is, however, reproducible only under certain exposure conditions [4], and which occurs even in the case of dead brain tissue; since calcium triggers release of neurotransmitters, any disturbance in the delicate balance of this chemical could well upset the integrity of the nervous (and also the immune) system; (ii) increased levels [5] of Ornithine Decarboxylase (ODC), a (rate limiting) enzyme that plays an important role in DNA replication, and possibly also in cancer promotion (see Para.9); (iii) opposing (and thus possibly stress inducing) effects [6] on the principal inhibitory and excitatory neuro-mediating brain chemicals that underpin the activity of the central nervous system. In addition, it should further be noted that the TETRA frame repetition rate is also close to the frequency at which seizures can be provoked in people suffering from photosensitive epilepsy by exposure to a light, flashing at between 15-20 times per second (see Para.8). More meaningful is to ask whether there is an established potential risk to human health from exposure to GSM/TETRA radiation: the answer is undoubtedly ‘yes’. It is probably true to say that if a similar degree of risk and uncertainty as to subjective noxiousness obtained in the case of a new drug or foodstuff, it is unlikely that they would ever be licensed.

The use of mobile phones by pre-adolescent children is thus to be strongly discouraged, and the siting of Base-station masts in the vicinity of schools and nurseries (including those hidden in church towers and in illuminated signs, such as those at petrol stations, for example) must be strongly resisted: financial gain must not be allowed to be the overriding consideration.

17. In conclusion, it can hardly be disputed that to enjoy an acceptable quality of life requires more than simply an absence of terminal disease. Adverse health effects in humans of the kinds already reported worldwide such as headaches, sleep disruption, impairment of short-term memory, etc. - whilst maybe not life-threatening in themselves, do nevertheless have a debilitating effect that undoubtedly affects general well-being, and which in the case of some children could well undermine their neurological and academic development, as is already evident from experience in the case of a number of infant/junior schools at which a GSM Base-station is located. It should be stressed, however, that, to date, the apparent absence on a global scale of more serious pathologies attributable to exposure to the emissions of GSM/TETRA Base-stations is no guarantee of immunity in the long-term; indeed, as mentioned earlier in Para.10, there is already an increasing number of reports [19] of unexplained clusters of cancers in the vicinity of certain GSM Base-stations, whose non-involvement remains to be established.

In 1998 the International Commission designated all systems above 300 MHZ as microwaves. Tetra, without argument is a Microwave Communication System, not a Radio Wave System. Microwaves behave very differently in our water-based bodies that radio waves, this is why the International Commission made this distinction....In May 2000, Sir William Stewart reported in his "Stewart Report" ..."To avoid frequencies above 16 waves a second (para. 5.59) Airwave operates at 17.6 waves a second. Accordingly adopting the EU/Stewart precautionary approach, Tetra Masts should be located as far away as possible from permanently occupied property such as hospitals, homes and schools".

Not in dispute is Professor Szmigielski's study where he spent many years researching Military Personnel using pulse modulated microwave radiation up to and beyond the Tetra range. He compared these results with Personnel who were not exposed. His conclusion (in part) was: a double incidence of all neoplasms (tumours) with a three fold increase of cancers of the alimentary tract (inc. Oesophagus and stomach) and a six fold increase of malignancies of the haemopietic (blood/cells/circulation. .....Also, the death of Officer Dring was cancer of the Oesophagus, as mentioned above.
    ....Microwave transmitters, similar to the one being complained of in Norfolk, by the Chief Inspector have been the subject of controversy for a long time. In one unscientific study around just 19 transmitters, there were 92 cancers reported which included breast, thyroid, bowel and Leukaemia's, as well as all of the illnesses listed by the Chief Inspector for Norfolk.
    ....A similar study of 138 schools found miscarriages, brain cancers, breast cancers and teachers reporting ill. As many as 8 cancers were confirmed in one small community. Again, these claims are dismissed as anecdotal by the communications industry, the Government and its Scientists. However, scientific studies have been completed. One such study, peer reviewed and published in the Australasian Journal of Environmental Medicine, Volume 21, April 2002, concludes, when referring to modern western microwave transmitters..."breast, bladder, prostate, lung, colon and cuteaneous melanoma cancers are all associated with each other relate to radio frequency, electro-magnetic fields". TETRA: A Critical Overview into the death of Officer Neil Dring

In his study on the health of people living in the vicinity of microwave transmitters, Professor Santini of the National Institute of Sciences concludes that these transmitters must not be sited closer than 300 metres to populations. I mention this because the Police Tetra system is usually placed on top of Police Stations where officers are exposed continuously, as are the surrounding Police houses where Officers may live with their families and local residents.  Professor Santini found from a survey of 270 men and 260 women that up to 300 metres from the transmitter there were complaints of nausea, loss of appetite, visual and motor problems. Up to 100 metres he received complaints of irritability, depression, concentration, memory, dizziness and libido problems.

TETRA TV INTERFERENCE - Have you seen this lately?

Tetra Airwave

There's nothing intrinsically wrong with wanting to provide public safety organisations with a digital radio system. Such a system promises secure, local and inter-service, communications, better signal quality and higher reliability.

For the police, the digital nature of the system means that it will be almost impossible for criminals to listen-in to their transmissions, for the ambulance and fire services, it means that they can operate their own independent systems, but easily communicate with the other services in emergencies, where it is vital that information gets quickly and accurately to the people who are best suited to help.

Terrestrial Trunked Radio, or TETRA for short, promises an awful lot, but it has not been a smooth ride as it has been brought into service.

The problems started at inception. The UK government decided that a digital radio network was required and opened up the tendering process for suppliers of TETRA equipment. This brought a sharp and severe rebuke from the EU because the tender specified the system which had to be used, and instantly excluded any alternatives which could provide the same benefits and services. This did not stop the government from sticking with TETRA, and setting the goal that the first working system must be in place for the Greater Manchester Police before the 2002 Commonwealth Games, which would be held in their manor.

The Home Office and Police Information Technology Organisation ( PITO ) were tasked with implementing the system, or at least bringing hardware and service suppliers together, and overseeing the roll-out of TETRA. It was generally reported that trials in Lancashire were on the whole very successful, although there were some problems identified.

The most unexpected problem perhaps being that the equipment was so good, and the speech so clear, that an officer trying to have a private conversation over the air could be heard from quite a distance away. Not what you want when you've got a suspect at hand, and you're discussing confidential information.

Other problems with the system have been less well advertised.

The police's favoured supplier of the TETRA infrastructure was Dolphin Telecom, but they went into receivership in August, 2001, and haven't even released a press release on their status since.

In some ways, this was a blessing, as it was widely rumoured that Dolphin's systems were largely incompatable with other TETRA systems used within the rest of Europe, but it undoubtedly left the Home Office and PITO up a blind alley.

Luckily, British Telecom was offering its own TETRA service, Airwave, which became part of mm02 when BT split its land and mobile businesses. Airwave has become the only choice for TETRA, and the Home Office will have to go with it, like it or lump it, or admit that the EU were right, and look at alternatives to TETRA. It looks like far too much has already been invested for an about face now though, and the deadline of the Commonwealth Games looms.

So TETRA marches on, good or bad. And there are some seriously bad things about TETRA.

Even the Police Federation has raised serious concerns about TETRA, calling on the government to delay the roll-out until its members have been satisfied that it was safe to use.

The official response has been little more than a trotting out of the same old theoretical promises of safety; there is no proven risk, studies have not shown any medical links between phone or radio emissions and ill health and so on. As usual, no categorical guarantees that TETRA is safe.

TETRA is alleged to be considerably worse than GSM technology which is presently in use, and we all know the rows which occurred when the mobile phone operators started putting radio masts in or near schools. Given the outcry then, it's a surprise that there hasn't been much public complaint over TETRA and the siting of its transmission masts. That is perhaps because most people know nothing of TETRA or the technology behind it.

To provide the maximum TETRA coverage, transmission power levels are much higher than for GSM, both at the base stations and the hand held transceivers, and fixed in vehicle devices are four times more powerful than handheld devices. This is the only way to cover the whole of the UK without having to have more masts than are wanted.

With higher power comes an increased risk of danger, but TETRA has one more nasty up its sleeve. Nearly all digital radios and phones use some clever form of multiplexing between the base stations and the mobile device, otherwise only one person could use the mast at a time. The speed at which the multiplexing is done is very important, as this in itself creates pulses of electromagnetic radiation.

Sir William Stewart's report on mobile phone safety commissioned by the UK government didn't say mobile phones were dangerous, but nor did it say they were safe, and offered a lot of advice on how to reduce the risks which might exist.

One primary concern was the effect of radiation in the 16Hz region. This is a frequency the brain is highly sensitive to, being one of the frequencies at which the brain ticks along at. Exposure to such frequencies can cause fits and epileptic reactions.

Guess which frequency TETRA throws out; 17.6Hz.

So not only will we see massive amounts of radiated power being generated at the base stations, but the frequency it will be done at could cause some very severe health problems. Of course, this is all supposition, and it's not hard to get a government lackey ( or scientist as they prefer to be called ), to re-iterate that there is no proven problem, no definitely known risk, and blah, blah, blah ...

It's not surprising though that the police are concerned about taking this technology out with them. They rely heavily on their radios in their work, and are obviously not convinced by this, "no provable risk", argument. Neither should we be.

It was no surprise either that as concern mounted about TETRA, Sir William was contacted for his opinions. What was very surprising was his response.

It appears that the government officials who provided input to the Stewart Report were well aware of the Airwave specifications at the time, but chose not to inform the Independent Expert Group about the TETRA technology, and remained quiet when it came to the issues of low frequency effects.

Although Sir William hasn't publicly committed himself either way on the risks of TETRA, it is clear that his recommendation that technology which could have effects on health be approached in a precautionary way stand, and he appears concerned that TETRA is being rolled-out wholesale, without additional research.

The official response to Sir William's comments was, once again; everything's hunky dory, don't worry your little heads about it.

Ambulance and paramedic services also have their concerns. Particularly the risk that the use of high powered TETRA devices will have inside hospitals and in other areas where radio interference can be life threatening. The fire brigade are equally concerned that the use of TETRA devices could present an explosive risk in the environments in which they are used. The dangers of using TETRA devices extends well beyond hospitals and petrol stations, where the use of mobile phones is met with severe castigation because of the risk of use. There are also obvious risks in airports and on planes, and anywhere where electronic equipment is used to ensure a correctly functioning and safe working environment.

If TETRA becomes fact, which it looks like it will, how are the police or any of the public safety services going to work in those environments and retain the ability to communicate ? This is a question which has not been answered. Most possibly because it hasn't been thought through, or the authorities know that it's such a monumental cock-up that they want to pretend that the issue doesn't exist.

At the moment it doesn't look like the ambulance and fire services are prepared to accept TETRA, leaving the police and army ( who have little choice ) to go it alone.

Recent police experience hasn't been too satisfying either. Greater Manchester Police, as they ramp up towards complete implementation, are reporting serious problems and are still regularly using their old radio systems. Not only have there been problems trying to place calls, but calls are being cut off; not what one wants to occur in a life or death emergency. A lot of handsets and fixed vehicle radios have also been reported to make extremely loud and unpredictable 'squawking' noises which has put officers at risk, not just from the surprise when they go off, but as they attempt to turn equipment off.

It is not clear if the TETRA system will be in place for the Commonwealth Games in Manchester, or if it will be the only system in use at the time. The official comment is unlikely to be anything other than, "plans are proceeding as we expected", which means neither yes, nor no.

On a wider scale, mm02 are reporting that the national roll-out for TETRA is being delayed as people are opposing the siting and erection of TETRA masts. Obviously the fears over TETRA safety are starting to spread.

That mm02 have predicted a 13% failure rate in the TETRA system and equipment must worry those who will be using it, and should worry us too, as failures there will have consequences for those requiring emergency services.

Eventually though, the TETRA system will be in place, pushed onwards by government determination, and everyone will be told to be happy with it, and we'll hear lots about how it's been worth it in the fight against crime, and how it has been a cost effective project.

However, not everyone is happy with the cost at the moment, not even some parts of the government. The Public Accounts Committee has expressed its concerns over the agreement with mm02, supporting an earlier report from the National Audit Office which said the police were paying over the top.

The Public Accounts Committee wants to know why PITO has agreed to pay Airwave some 1.5 billion GBP for its service, which includes a 17% profit margin, when there was no competition. It has also expressed its concern with the 170 million GBP 'alleged risk cover' and 70 million GMP 'contingency charge' which mm02 are taking. Obviously they too consider that there may be some major risk to the users of the TETRA system or the public at large. It's ironically amusing that the police are paying mm02 to provide the compensation to themselves if it turns out that there are health risks involved.

It is hard to not turn right back to the initial tendering process and ask why the competing TETRAPOL system was never considered, which supporters say could have been implemented for a tenth of the cost, and would be much safer as it doesn't use any dangerous frequencies during operation.

TETRA could turn out to be one of the most expensive, and disastrous mistakes that has been made in recent years. While many large-scale projects go down the pan, taking many millions of pounds with them, very few destroy the health of the population on their way.

The man in the street might also like to know that the frequency TETRA operates on is very close to that used in radio key fobs, as used for opening car doors and garages, and some car and house burglar alarms. Although most modern key fobs will use different frequencies, or be immune to TETRA interference, the first many will know that a TETRA mast has been installed near them is when they are unable to get in their cars, or can't turn the house alarm on when they go out.

This could explain why the TETRA system around Manchester is running on much reduced power. If it's not to minimise the dangers posed by high power operation, it's to keep interference down.

Of course, it could just be that the authorities and equipment suppliers don't want to draw attention to the problems that TETRA poses, so installing it completely without causing complaint, means that once it's turned on it will be too late to turn back the clock.

Let's just hope that when it is turned on, and cranked up to full power, we don't see people falling in the street, frothing and screaming in epileptic fits. Alien invaders destroying our brains with their weapons of evil are tales of science fiction. Not something we want to do by intention.


Tetra "Waste of Money"

November 2002

The UK government may have wasted more than 300m on the Airwave digital radio system, according to the Public Accounts Committee.

The Committee's report described the 1.5bn national network as "more sophisticated and expensive" than necessary.

While the new Terrestrial Trunked Radio-based system will allow different police forces to communicate with each other, they cannot use it to communicate with local fire services.

The report claimed that Airwave will cost 300m more than a series of localised digital systems wanted by Police Authorities.

Despite police preferences, the government has insisted on the adoption of Airwave at a cost of 1.5bn over 19 years.

It is now a decade ago that a Home Office review recommended that police and fire services adopt compatible radio systems.

But the Committee warned that the day when emergency services within a particular area could communicate easily with each other during major incidents is "still a long way off".

There are also questions over the effectiveness and safety of the handsets. Scientists have pointed out that the devices pulse at 17.6MHz, which they believe is too close to the 16MHz at which brain signals operate.

In April, the National Audit Office labelled Airwave a risky project, while 30 police officers claimed that the handsets triggered illnesses following pilot schemes in Lancashire and North Yorkshire.

Airwave has since been adopted by seven police authorities, but ambulance and fire services are thought to favour rival Tetrapol technology.

'Health risks' in new police radio system




Stuart Millar and Stuart McWilliam
Tuesday May 8, 2001
The Guardian


The Home Office is facing intense pressure to delay the introduction of a £2.5bn police communications system amid warnings it may expose users to health risks on a par with asbestos.
Two independent experts on the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation have accused ministers of using the police as guinea pigs by pressing on with the launch of the BT Airwave system in the absence of detailed research into potential health risks.

The advanced digital system, which is being piloted by Lancashire police before being given to every force in the country by 2005, has been welcomed as a technological leap forward.
Using the Terrestrial Trunk Radio System (Tetra), the new European standard for emergency service communications, Airwave offers guaranteed national coverage, vastly improved sound quality, better security through encryption and features such as data transfer and emergency buttons on officers' handsets.

Forces have been complaining for years that the current analogue radio system is woefully inadequate as it does not cover some locations, is prone to break down at crucial times and fails to provide essential security. So confident was the government of the benefits of Tetra that it sold off the existing police frequencies as part of the £20bn auction of licences for the next generation of mobile phones.

But concern is growing that electromagnetic radiation emissions from the handsets may pose a direct health risk for the users.

The fear centres on the operating frequency of 17.6Hz assigned to Tetra when the system was being established. This means that it emits radiation in pulses occurring 17.6 times a second, a level some scientists believe can penetrate deep into the brain, damaging cell communication.

Roger Coghill, an independent research scientist and a member of the Department of Health's UK mobile telecommunications health research programme, said: "A criminal could not have come up with a better system. They couldn't have chosen a better frequency with which to disarm and debilitate the very forces that are trying to secure their arrest."

Alasdair Philips, an expert on the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation and director of the campaign group Powerwatch, said Tetra had the potential to become the "next asbestos".

"It is beyond belief that any one could be contemplating the rollout of a system like Tetra because of the evidence about the dangers of pulsed frequencies," he said. "To design a communications system based on these principles is mind numbing. The effects we may see could well be on a par with Gulf war syndrome."

Last year, Sir William Stewart's report on mobile phone safety concluded that systems modulating at frequencies around 16Hz should be "avoided if possible in future developments of signal coding".

Since then the Home Office has ordered reviews of existing research on Tetra while insisting that rollout of the new system goes ahead as planned.

But the scientists say existing research is inadequate because the tests have only been carried out on animals and human tissue but not on humans.

"I'm currently involved in some research but all this should have been done years ago," Mr Philips said. "The net result is that the police are guinea pigs."

Low-frequency electromagnetic radiation was identified as far back as the 1960s as a potential anti-personnel weapon when the superpowers began conducting experiments into non-lethal "mind control" devices.

Regarding the previous article from the Guardian in 2001, Now in 2006 Tetra are pleased to announce that ALL UK POLICE Forces are now TETRA.

Tetra, as mentioned in this thread before is essentially THE PANDORA PROJECT, a joint project between the CIA and MI5

Quote - "The TETRA system pulses at 17.6 Hz broadcast at 400 MHz which is essentially the Pandora Project funded by the CIA in the late '60s and early '70s. Dr Ross Adey, the chief researcher on the Pandora Project has released a video to leading UK researchers which proves that not only does the TETRA system cause ELF zombification by massive release of calcium ions in the cerebral cortex and the nervous system, but the activated calcium ions also cause massive hormonal disturbances which lead to frenzied imbalances, emotional and physical states......"

Not only have all UK forces taken on this system but now reluctantly both the fire and ambulance service have had to accept it, although they have put up much resistance.

The Fire Service resisted on safety grounds, and The Ambulance Service resisted because the technology interferes with their equipment.

Still, Tetra rolls on, and what The Government want, they get!
