ACHES was set up to promote, enhance and protect human and environmental wellbeing. ACHES provides a forum to raise awareness and advance the truth about legal, medical and scientific information relating to current and emerging technologies. ACHES “Weekly Picks” will highlight the most relevant news pieces from our partners and collaborators to raise awareness of the health harms caused by such technologies, and also chronicle the much-needed solutions to enhance our health.
Safe Tech International: CALL TO ACTION
Recently, Safe Tech International highlighted the latest campaign by Massachusetts for Safe Technology, which has set up easy to use, step-by-step instructions for people to contact legislators to raise awareness about the growing number of children and adults with electromagnetic sensitivity. It also includes a petition for people to sign. If you are short on time, please sign Patricia Burke’s Change.org petition. Or do both! This petition includes the MAVEN bill, as well as two smart meter opt-out bills due to be reported out in early December!
Verizon Calling Earth
It seems Verizon and AST SpaceMobile have struck a deal to build out a space-based network next year. This collaboration will extend Verizon’s network to hard-to-reach parts of the USA. Apparently, over 500,000 miles of the USA are unreachable by traditional cell towers, owing to issues with the terrain and land-use restrictions. Ultimately this space-based cell coverage shows a ramping up of cell-based (5G) technologies being installed globally as part of the connection grid. Is this really for better coverage or for greater control?
Ear, Ear…Can you Read My Mind?
Many might think that the possibility technology could literally
begin to read your mind is something from a Hollywood Sci-Fi film. Sadly, the reality of technology being deployed to control the human mind is far more advanced than people may realise. Just the past week, Samsung is working on earbuds that can read your mind! The company has now developed a prototype it calls Ear-EEG, which is a bud-sized device that fits around the ear and includes a miniature electroencephalogram (EEG). An EEG measures the electrical activity in the brain, and within this device that activity is then passed via a brain-computer interface to appropriate apps. The direction of travel with regard to what control measures might develop is mind-boggling.
A helpful Stop Smart Meters leaflet
We want to draw attention to a leaflet from the EM-Radiation Research Trust “So Say No to Smart Meters”, which can be downloaded as a PDF and printed directly. This leaflet highlights the many health concerns, such as the increased risk of cancers, nervous system damage, and adverse reproductive effects caused by exposure to electromagnetic pollution. The statistic by Senior Nuclear Policy Lecturer, Daniel Hirsch at UCSC, that Smart Meters can expose the body to 160 to 800 times as much microwave radiation as mobile phones is alarming. Smart meters are not cost-effective; many have experienced higher bills since installation. You have the right to refuse a Smart Meter as they are voluntary: Say No to Smart Meters!
What the Government Won’t Tell You
On the World Council for Health website, is a post about ‘Why the Children’s Bill Matters More Than You Think’. Everyone’s talking about Digital ID, which is spot on. However, many have not noticed something far more urgent and disturbing happening behind the scenes in Parliament. It’s called the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill. Hidden in the small print of this Bill is a clause creating a “consistent identifier” for every child. That means a single number used to join up all their data — from school records to health, social care, attendance, safeguarding and more. Once that identifier exists, it becomes the foundation for a lifetime digital record.
