STOURBRIDGE euro MP Liz Lynne is demanding more action to examine potential harm from mobile phone masts.

Lib Dem MEP Liz is also calling on countries in the euro zone to dramatically reduce exposure limits for mobile phone masts near schools or residential areas until scientists discover if wireless communication devices cause long-tem harm.

The initiative, including a written declaration in the European Parliament, follows her visit to the High Acres site in Kingswinford in February where residents fear a massive base station may causing a cancer hotspot.

Liz, who is co-chair of MEPs Against Cancer in the European Parliament said: “With the explosion in demand for mobile phones we have seen a huge increase in the number of mobile phone masts springing up around both the UK and the rest of Europe, but many experts are now raising serious questions about the long term health effects of these masts.

“There is more and more evidence that ten, 15 years down the line there may be serious side-effects from the use of wireless technology due to the electromagnetic radiation these devices emit.”

Steve Weissman, Truthout: "If not the Justice Department lawyers, who gave the earlier go-ahead? The Senate report puts the onus directly on the decider-in-chief, President George W. Bush. He issued a written determination on February 7, 2002, 'that Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions, which would have afforded minimum standards for humane treatment, did not apply to al-Qaeda or Taliban detainees.'"

Mark Seibel and Warren P. Strobel, McClatchy Newspapers: "The CIA inspector general in 2004 found that there was no conclusive proof that waterboarding or other harsh interrogation techniques helped the Bush administration thwart any 'specific imminent attacks,' according to recently declassified Justice Department memos."

Wenn die Arge sagt, dass die Wohnung angeblich zu teuer ist

Haben Sie schon einen Brief von der Arge bekommen, in dem steht, dass Sie zu teuer wohnen und demnächst nur noch einen Teil der Miete erstattet bekommen? Erst ist der Arbeitsplatz weg und jetzt auch noch die Wohnung in Gefahr. Werden die Miet- und Heizkosten nur noch teilweise von der Arge bezahlt, verschärft sich die Lebenssituation der Arbeitslosengeld II – Empfänger. Es steht weniger Geld für das tägliche Leben zur Verfügung, wenn aus der ohnehin zu niedrigen Regeleistung noch zusätzlich mehr für das Wohnen ausgegeben werden muss. Vielfach werden Betroffene so gezwungen, ihre bisherige Wohnung aufzugeben.

What we're seeing, is a political movement that is utterly bankrupt, literally and figuratively, and is desperately searching for any sort of remotely plausible line of attack, but only managing to make itself look absurd in the process, at least outside of Appalachia.

The corporate chieftains have easy access to the White House and the new President, whether these bosses come on missions demanding power or missions of beggary for bailouts. When will he meet with the leading heads of consumer protection groups with millions of dues-paying members who could give him the base to hold accountable and regulate the democracy-denying, economy-wrecking corporate supremacists?
