I was disappointed that Mr Michael Dolan, Executive Director Mobile Operators Association, did not speak directly to me to obtain the facts of the Campaign that is taking place to permanently remove the base-station on High Acres Estate Kingswinford.

There are several factors to our case and Mr Dolan is very welcome to visit the site, look at the documentation that has been obtained to date and discuss the unacceptable situation our community are faced with.

PLANS to put up a phone mast outside an ancient church in Seaford have been 'cynically timed', says a district councillor.

Vodaphone has lodged an application to build a 10-metre mast and equipment cabinet on the pavement at St Peter's Church in Belgrave Road, Blatchington.

Ward councillor Carolyn Lambert is appealing for people to object to 'this outrageous proposition' and said: 'How cynical as well to submit the application at a time when many people are likely to be on holiday?'

She said the pole and antennae would stand on a normal-sized pavement on a busy route to the nearby primary school. An application for a 12-metre pole was refused in 2005 because its siting and design was considered 'to represent an incongruous intrusion into the street scene'.

Cllr Lambert said: 'And a dangerous impediment to pedestrians might be added.'

Betreff: Thurgauer Regierungsrat empfiehlt keine WLANs an Schulen

Liebe MobilfunkkritikerInnen

Vor den Ferien hatten wir darüber berichtet, dass zwei Mitglieder unseres Vereins sich in Bottighofen - einem Vorort von Kreuzlingen - erfolgreich gegen die Einführung von WLANs an ihren Schulen gewehrt haben. Durch diese Aktion ermuntert, hat Kantonsrätin Fabienne Schnyder beim Regierungsrat eine einfache Anfrage eingereicht. Der Thurgauer Regierungsrat empfiehlt nun allen Schulen im Kanton möglichst keine WLANs einzusetzen. Ein sorgfältiger Umgang mit diesen Geräten sei ratsam.

Eine ursprünglich kleine Aktion, in einer kleinen Gemeinde hat schlussendlich Grosses bewirkt. Ein motivierendes Beispiel dafür, dass wir bei allen unseren Aktionen - uns seien sie noch so bescheiden - nie den Mut verlieren dürfen. Herzlichen Dank an alle Beteiligten.

Der Hunger nach nachwachsenden Rohstoffen und energiereichen Getreidesorten für die Agrarindustrie führt laut DUH nicht nur im Amazonas-Regenwald zum Verlust der biologischen Vielfalt. Auch in Baden-Württemberg, Niedersachsen, Bayern, Brandenburg und den anderen deutschen Flächenstaaten fördern Energiekrisen und hohe Getreidepreise das Artensterben und den Schwund von Biodiversität. Das hat eine Analyse der Deutschen Umwelthilfe e. V. (DUH) ergeben.

From Wall Street to the Big Oil powerhouses to the military-industrial complex, America’s fat-cat business leaders know that the Animal House-style party of the last eight years that made almost all of them rich with bonuses, government contracts and bubble profits is about to come to an end, and someone is going to have to pay to clean up the mess. They want that someone to be you, not them, and they’ve spared no expense to make sure both presidential candidates will be there to bail them out next year. They’re succeeding. Both would-be presidents have already sold us out. They’ve taken the money and run — completing the cyclical transformation of the American political narrative from one of monopolistic Republican iniquity to an even more depressing tale about the overweening power of corporate money and the essentially fictitious nature of our two-party system. In layman’s terms, we’ve gone from being screwed...

If I Were Once A Democrat Again, this is What I'd Tell Obama

By Timothy V. Gatto

The Democrats are wondering why their candidate's numbers are slowly circling the drain. How stupid is that? Could it be that the man chosen by the mainstream corporate media and the corporate political party is behaving like a corporatist? This entire drama between the two political parties has got to be the most expensive con job that this world has ever seen.

The Free Liberal
by US Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX)

One problem with politicians is that when problems they create come to a head, they typically feel this irresistible urge to DO something, rather than to UN-do something, or to simply back off to avoid exacerbating the situation. Too often, that which they end up doing has very little connection to the cause of the crisis, but plays well in the press and superficially makes everyone feel better. Bills that are rushed through Congress under duress are never studied enough, providing too tempting an opportunity to quietly slip in unrelated provisions that erode freedoms in ways that would never pass as a stand-alone bill. We famously saw this with the PATRIOT Act, but Washington learned nothing from that. The current housing crisis and the corresponding big government fix are another prime example...

Restore the Constitution in your county now

from Reason to Freedom
by Melinda Pillsbury-Foster

08/08/08

This is the first Restore the Constitution Project for you to undertake in your county. Using it you can deliver the message that the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the land. You will find instructions, sources for supplies and a Proof of Service Form for this project. Other projects, each on its own small site, will follow. Using these, you can serve law enforcement officers with a letter and a copy of the Constitution. If you like, you can also include a copy of ‘The Proper Role of Law Enforcement,’ by Sheriff Richard Mack. The project can be carried out by a small group very inexpensively. It is the first of a series of such projects. Together, the projects will enable you to restore your county to government by the people, transitioning from the present system to one that is stable and reliable and resistant to becoming uppity...

Assuming the federal government has, after almost seven years, finally identified the perpetrator of the anthrax attacks in 2001 — admittedly a generous assumption given that for most of those years, it pursued, hounded, embarrassed, and ruined the career of the wrong man — larger dangers remain. As is normally the case with issues surrounding terrorism, the average citizen will probably be shocked to learn that their government is often a bigger threat than the terrorists. Remember the CIA’s creation of the 9/11 threat by supporting the most radical Islamist groups fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan during the 1980s and then the U.S. government’s provocation of terrorist attacks from those same militants by its non-Islamic military presence in Islamic Persian Gulf countries in the 1990s, which had continued unnecessarily subsequent to the first Gulf War. Similarly, in the case of bioterrorism, the threat from the government is greater than from foreign groups such as al Qaeda...

International forces serving under NATO and the separate U.S.-led coalition insist that the vast majority of those killed in air raids are militants...

The New York Times writes about protecting the right to vote: "Much about the presidential election is up in the air, but one thing is certain: voters will have trouble casting ballots on Election Day. In a perfect world, states and localities would handle voting so well that the public could relax and worry about other things. But elections are so mismanaged - and so many eligible voters are disenfranchised - that ordinary citizens have to get involved."

A Colchester head teacher has hit out at a mobile phone company for starting a consultation during the school holidays.

Bridget Harris, head teacher at St Thomas More’s Catholic Primary School, said she received a letter from Vodafone regarding plans for a mobile mast on nearby St Botolph’s Church only because a school secretary happened to go in to work.

“What has angered me is that we’re given 14 days to complain but the letter was sent to arrive after we closed for the summer,” she said.

The Green Party is calling on the Government to intervene to protect communities and schools from having 12 to 22 metre cell towers erected next door to homes, schools and pre-schools, without consultation or consent.

The Titahi Bay community is the latest in a series of communities which has discovered that a cell tower is about to be built right next to their homes - even though they have not been consulted or given their consent.
