“Rather than the road to hell being paved with good intentions, I suggest that the road to hell is paved with unexamined assumptions.” – R.I. Activist Sheila Resseger

In 2007, Alan Brandt published his book The Cigarette Century, The Rise, Fall, and Deadly Persistence of the Product That Defined America. “From agriculture to big business, from medicine to politics, The Cigarette Century is the definitive account of how smoking became so deeply implanted in our culture, science, policy, and law. No product has been so heavily promoted or has become so deeply entrenched in American consciousness.”

Scrutiny of the safety science underlying “smart meters” is now before decision makers in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, as well as the European Court of Human Rights.

The stakes are high: extending to the unexamined tsunami of wireless products and exposures across the age span, from the unborn to the elderly and/or infirm, with infrastructure also impacting every species and all of nature. Society is drunk on wireless.

First, some history.

1960s Military Radar Research: ‘Microwave Hearing‘

In the 1960s researchers began exploring the effects of non-ionizing radiation, including microwave hearing in military personel.

As reported by the Cellular Phone Task Force, “Previously, back in the 1960’s, Alan Frey, who was working for General Electric, discovered the phenomenon of “microwave hearing” which operated outside the normal hearing range. The “hearing,” however, didn’t happen via normal sound waves perceived through the ear. It apparently occurred somewhere in the brain itself, as microwaves interacted with the brain’s cells, which generate tiny electrical fields. Frey proved also that many deaf people and animals could hear microwave radiation. This phenomenon came to be known as the Frey effect, or simply “microwave hearing.”

“At that time the U.S. military, which was interested in greatly expanding its use of radar around populated areas, had substantial funding available to investigate the effects of such radiation on health. For the next two decades Frey, funded by the Office of Naval Research and the U.S. Army, was the most active researcher on the bioeffects of microwave radiation in the country. Frey caused rats to become docile by exposing them to radiation at an average power level of only 50 microwatts per square centimeter. He altered specific behaviors of rats at 8 microwatts per square centimeter. He altered the heart rate of live frogs at 3 microwatts per square centimeter. At only 0.6 microwatts per square centimeter, he caused isolated frogs’ hearts to stop beating by timing the microwave pulses at a precise point during the heart’s rhythm. 0.6 microwatts per square centimeter is about 10,000 times less than the amount of radiation an active cell phone would expose a man’s heart to if he carried it in his shirt pocket.“

(More recently, “Hearing of microwave pulses by humans and animals: effects, mechanism, and thresholds” by James C Lin and Zhangwei Wang was published in 2007.)
