RESIDENTS turned out to protest against two phone masts proposed in Old Colwyn.

Health fears have followed mobile phone giant Vodafone’s plans to put up a mast at Tan Llwyfan at Penmaenhead near the site of the old Hotel 70 Degrees. A second mast is proposed on Abergele Road opposite the Aldi supermarket.

Both masts are proposed to be put on footpaths and are in residential areas, prompting fears about the dangers of microwaves.

Residents made their stand this week after they received a letter from the communications company as part of a consultation process which must take place before any planning application is considered.

A STAFF REPORTER

Rajarhat-Gopalpur Municipality has lodged a police complaint against a mobile service provider for erecting a signal tower off VIP Road without its permission.

The municipality said the unauthorised cellphone tower was exposing residents of the locality to harmful “electromagnetic emissions”.

“We are also trying to identify illegal towers in other parts of the municipal area,” municipality chairman Tapas Chatterjee said.

Charles Savage, The New York Times: "As Congress prepares to debate expansion of drilling in taxpayer-owned coastal waters, the Interior Department agency that collects oil and gas royalties has been caught up in a wide-ranging ethics scandal - including allegations of financial self-dealing, accepting gifts from energy companies, cocaine use and sexual misconduct."

PARLIAMENTARY Chief Whip Geoff Hoon was urged to help change the law when he visited Eastwood families locked in a battle over a phone mast.

T-Mobile put up the 72ft temporary mast in December on land at the end of two gardens in Chewton Street – without telling the residents.

It said it did not need permission as it was using "emergency powers" because the signal from an existing smaller mast was blocked by a new housing development.

But when the six-month emergency period ended the mast remained in place – and Broxtowe Borough Council then served an enforcement notice, ordering the company to remove it or submit a planning application within 28 days.

Reflections on 9-11

By Cindy Sheehan
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article20730.htm



Was America Attacked by Muslims on 9/11?

By David Ray Griffin

Much of America's foreign policy since 9/11 has been based on the assumption that it was attacked by Muslims on that day. - Is it conceivable that this assumption might be false? Insofar as Americans and Canadians would say "No," they would express their belief that this assumption is not merely an "assumption" but is instead based on strong evidence. When actually examined, however, the proffered evidence turns out to be remarkably weak. I will illustrate this point by means of 16 questions.

9/11 and the Great American Decline

By Glen Ford

In its convulsive "response" to 9/11 - the worldwide "War on Terror" - the United States seized the opportunity to put in motion planetary aggressions that already existed in the blueprints of the neo-con's Project for a New American Century (PNAC). In effect, Washington was claiming revenge as the motive for crimes that it had long been planning to commit. Precise causality for the specific events of 9/11 becomes near-irrelevant, submerged in the much larger aggression that was conceived long before the towers fell.

Dear Editor

I have just been reading the article entitled 'Norfolk wants escape clause in tower contract'. It seems very strange that Norfolk Council should need to add such a clause or even think about renewing the contract. The council have already been provided with a huge amount of information which proves that microwave radiation is highly dangerous, that it causes cancer and many different adverse health effects, yet. they are still willing to allow Bell Mobility to expose the community to great danger.

I am surprised that they don't allow the contract, collect the money and put up a sign saying to the nearby residents - 'We don't give a d... whether you get ill, develop cancer or die. We have the money, we have pleased the corporate giant and you can go to h...'.

Not only was Norfolk Council educated on the dangers and health effects of microwave radiation in their own council chambers, but the process was even televised throughout the community. There is a clear record of council's special knowledge about the dangers of microwave radiation.

Norfolk Council have already shown that they are not interested in the health and welfare of the citizens of Simcoe, with the shameful actions they took by allowing the Rogers cell phone antennas to stay on the Simcoe water tower. They have also shown that they are not fit to represent the health and safety interests of their own constituents.

I dare Norfolk Council to provide the same information about the adverse health effects of microwave radiation, that they were provided with previously, to the citizens of Port Dover and let them make their own decision as to whether the contract is renewed.
