Dear friends of truth on EMF, on 20th of October the "Buergerwelle" will reveal the distructive and antihuman character of the actual situation on mobile-phone-systems. During a public hearing regarding EMF with the responsible German Minister, we will propose the attached offer in order to demask the disparagement and absurdity of the current situation. Please help us to spread this message all over the world and into any media !! Please pass this message to any reliable colleague you know! Let us start this way the urgently needed count-down for this fatal technique on our planet. Thanks a lot to all of you yours sincerely Sigfried Zwerenz Buergerwelle e.V. / Germany www.buergerwelle.de ...................................................................... .................. BUERGERWELLE PRESS RELEASE HANDOUT Citizens' Action Groups Challenge Industrial And Political Executives Irresponsibility of Limit Values (Standards) to be demonstrated: Executives invited to expose themselves for a short time to Sub-Limit- Value Mobile Phone Radiation and win 20,000 DeutschMarks ! It meanwhile surprises no-one: Mobile phone operators are extending their networks daily in pursuit of their self-assigned mission to establish a modern information and communication technology. At the same time it is becoming clear that while the present "industrially" prefabricated limit values are sufficient to protect our body against excessive warming, they cannot guarantee for the unimpaired functioning of all biological processes in humans and animals. The number of scientific studies and insights gained in empirical medicine which point to serious biological effects resulting from this technology is growing daily, but the message is simply being ignored. And the ever more frequent complaints from citizens living close to GSM (DCS) cell phone transmitters about health problems are being dismissed as "hysterical" or interpreted as "unfortunate" isolated cases. The pattern is always the same. A new technology or product is introduced without an earnest risk assessment having been made and negligently disregarding the possibility of side-effects. Early critics are methodically silenced. Then it takes at least ten years until people start to notice, long enough to turn in a good profit. After that the responsible companies change their oratory, asserting that it had been known all along how dangerous the "stuff" was. Thalidomide, asbestos, formalde-hyde, these are just a few of the sad chapters in the story of the neglect of public health risks. Those affected and the public at large are usually left alone to cope with the damage. The situation with electromagnetic felds from mobile phone installations appears very similar to what we have had in the past and has meanwhile become intolerable. The unrestrained extension of cell phone networks (transmitter stations) and the widespread use of handies pose a threat to the health of humans, animals and plants. Every person‘s health is at risk! What has become of our right to freedom from bodily harm? On the occasion of the "Buergerforum Elektrosmog 1999", to be held by the Federal Environmental Ministry on October 19 and 20, 1999 in Bonn, the "Buergerwelle e.V.", roof organi-sation of citizens and civil action groups for protection against EMF exposure, will challenge decision makers from the mobile phone industry, radiation protection authorities, and politics with a startling offer. Whoever agrees to expose him or herself to continuous mobile phone radiation for only 10 days under controlled conditions and is found to show no signs of health impairment during or shortly after exposure will receive DM 20 000 for his show of courage. "Now we will see how much the responsible industrial executives, radiation protec-tion authorities and politicians trust the limit values which they have declared fit for the general public," says Buergerwelle-spokesman Siegfried Zwerenz. copyright 1999 by Buergerwelle / S.
