PhoneGate Alert Update 2020!

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Wednesday, July 15th, 2020

15th July 2020


Large numbers of mobile phones in use are emitting microwave frequency radiation way above the regulatory limit, when placed against the body. For safety reason it would be wise to check if you are, or a family member is using one of these mobile phone models.

After months of legal action by French physician Dr. Marc Arazi, in June 2017 the National Frequency Agency of France (ANFR) revealed the 2015 test results of hundreds of cell phones. This ANFR study shows that if you use these phones like the majority of people do, touching the body, the phones greatly exceeded the French government radiation exposure safety limits.



If you do place one of these mobile phones directly in contact with your body, your exposure level to microwave radiation can be three or more times greater than the maximum Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) government safety level! Independent scientific experts around the world have been saying for decades that the microwave radiation SARs regulatory limits are already set far to high to protect public health, and particularly for children! 



Phonegate organization has had some success in having a number of the offending mobile phones sanctioned, or withdrawn from the market, but there is a lot more to this story!


25th May 2020 - Withdrawal of the Razer Phone 2: not seeing the forest for the trees!Extracts:

Since then, in two years, thanks to our action, 23 different smartphone models controlled by ANFR have been found to have SAR levels for the head and body above the regulatory limit of 2 W/kg during ANFR inspections. Four have been withdrawn from the French market. The others have only had their SAR level “updated” (reduced by updating).

However, tests conducted by both ANFR and the journalist Sam Roe for the Chicago Tribune have shown that the local body SAR level is multiplied by a factor of 3 to 4 when measured either at direct skin contact or at 2mm. That of the Razer Phone 2 could reach over 10 W/kg at direct contact with the skin.

“that the representative of the European Commission is hiding behind a staggering technocratic cynicism. His non-reaction shows the extent to which the mobile telephony industry lobbies have knowingly silenced the European authorities. We demand that this new health scandal, Phonegate, be treated with seriousness and a sense of responsibility. The health of hundreds of millions of Europeans citizen is at stake”.

UPDATE to PhoneGate Alert!


Two new smartphones have just been sanctioned for exceeding the SAR level: the Xiaomi Redmi 7 and the Gigaset plus. This is a new advance in our alert action!


However, we have been waiting since last October for the Government to deliver on its promise to update the excessive SAR levels of several hundred mobile phone models. We demand that the commitments made following the recommendations of the French National Health Agency (ANSES) be fulfilled.


The Covid19 crisis does not justify such a delay. The Phonegate scandal is also a real health emergency!

Social Distancing Is Very Important!

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Tuesday, March 17th, 2020

17 March 2020


If implemented early, Social Distancing can potentially significantly lower the fatality rate off patients and medical staff during a pandemic.


13th March 2020 - Coronavirus fears prompt health officials to ask Australia's leaders to ban events with more than 500 people.


Extract:


A senior West Australian doctor has called for all schools to be closed soon and for there to be no crowds allowed at events as the coronavirus spreads, declaring he wants his colleagues to stay alive. Coronavirus claims Coast event as others hang in balance


WA Australian Medical Association (AMA) president Andrew Miller posted on social media: "You want to go to the footy? I want my colleagues to stay alive."


https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-03-13/coronavirus-scott-morrison-coag-premiers-cancelling-events/12053382


Why, in this article, are these doctors saying they want their colleagues to stay alive?


This is why.


Look to Italy as an example. They have one of the best hospitals systems in the world. Their hospitals are well equipped, and they were prepared. The Italian public were also told everything was fine. They had two cases a month and a half ago.


  • On the 30th January 2020, had two Chinese tourists who test positive for COVID-19.
  • By 24th February 2020, Italy had 229 confirmed cases and 6 fatalities.
  • On the 8th March 2020, Italy locked down a region with a population of 16 million people. By this time the number of confirmed cases had risen to 6,387 and deaths had risen to 366.
  • By 9th March 2020,  Italy went into whole country lock down.
  • On 10th March 2020, there were 10,149 confirmed cases and 631 deaths.


Their hospitals systems are now completely overloaded because the virus infection rate is exponential. Their staff are exhausted. They can't treat all the patients. In situations like this, medical staff contract the virus. If you look around the Internet, top Italian medical doctors are telling everyone please don't make the same mistakes we made.


If you don't implement social distancing early in an outbreak, a country's hospital systems can become totally overwhelmed very quickly. This means the fatality rate will increase by a factor of five to ten times or more.


If you implement social distancing in the very early stages of the outbreak, the hospital system has a chance. It spreads the load of infected patients over a longer period of time. This means that the hospitals and staff have a better chance to treat everyone effectively.


Social distancing means a lot more people and medical staff end up surviving the contagion, because many more people were able to get good medical care.



During a pandemic you don't need to wait for a government directive to implement proper social distancing, start implementing it immediately. The sooner social distancing is implemented, the more lives will be saved. Watch this 6.29 minute video. This is what we all need to do. Our personal actions can potentially save a lot of lives.

Coronavirus COVID-19 & Flu Season, first line of defense!

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Monday, February 24th, 2020

24 February 2020


In a recent photo of people being evacuated from the quarantined cruise ship in Japan back to the US by plane, it showed people wearing their protective face masks on upside down, and others with no air seal around the nose and mask!


It is very important to have the knowledge on how to use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) properly, and exercise very good hygiene practices in environments like this. If you do, it will greatly improve your chances of avoiding infection during a pandemic or flu event.


If you are in a country where the numbers of infected people dramatically increase all of a sudden, you could find your everyday life turned upside down. Within a very short period of time large parts of your country, towns or districts, could be placed under quarantine.


This may not happen in your location. Lets hope it doesn't. If it does, having the proper knowledge, skills and equipment on hand will greatly improve your family's chances of of avoiding infection. Do research, bookmark, printout, and download instructional information that will provide your family with the necessary knowledge and skills.


Example, lets start with preventing infection, good hygiene is your family's first line of defense!


As the Coronavirus spreads Worldwide large numbers of people are purchasing, goggles, gloves, masks, sanitizers and disinfectants etc.


That maybe a great idea, but next to useless exercise if you don't know how to sanitize, or use the equipment correctly!


The skills provide in the instruction videos below could significantly improve your family member's chances of avoiding infection.


It is better for all the members of your family to practice and master these techniques now, than wait until the last minute. Remember, for this to work, all the family members will need to work together as a well oiled team.


Don't just rely on the information presented here, do more research, as there is much more you will need to know.


Firstly and most importantly keep your hands away from your face!


You think you have been washing you hands correctly all these years? Well sorry to say the vast majority of you haven't been!


Germ Smart - How To Wash Your Hands


I would also suggest that you stop wearing hand jewellery, watches, false nails or nail varnish, plus keep your nails as short a possible. Doing this will significantly improve the effectiveness of using this hand washing technique.



Phone Soap Tested on Discovery Channel


With just about everyone addicted to their mobile phone, it would be a very good idea to learn how to sanitize it properly. These devices can be a significant vector in the spread of a contagion. Use speaker phone, texting and avoided placing it on your head or face. Stop using it, or limit its use to absolutely essential calls if possible.


If you touched the outside of the Phone Soap device with your hands as you placed the phone into the device, you will then need to also sanitize the outside of the Phone Soap device, and your hands before removing the phone. There are a number of other phone and tablet sanitizing systems out there that are based on wipes and cloths, that you could research.



Medical Respirators N95 Fitting Instructions


To get a good seal of a facial mask like this, it will be important for men to remove facial hair.


There are detailed written instructions in the "Show More" description area under the video.



Face Mask vs Respirator Comparison by 3M



Eye Protection


With the potential for COVID-19 to infect through the eyes, it will be import to use whatever eye protection you have available, goggles, wrap around safety glasses, sunglasses, ordinary glasses etc.


Putting on Sterile Gloves


Again, I would also suggest that you also stop wearing hand jewellery, watches, false nails and keep your finger nails as short a possible. These sharp items can puncture the gloves.



Proper Disposable Glove Removal



Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)


Obviously, most of you will not be wearing a full PPE kit. It is still very important to know in what order and how to remove the equipment that you are wearing.



Cleaning and Sanitizing (Food Preparation Areas)



How to Properly Disinfect Surfaces to Kill Germs


This is a commercial product video, I have put it in this list because it provides important information.


Look around your environment for those surfaces that are frequently touched by people. They are the surfaces that will need to be sanitized often. Some surfaces can be damaged by some cleaning and sanitizing chemicals, particularly electronic devices, so do your research first before applying!



Important


6 Cleaning Products Combinations To NEVER Mix



Toilet Seat


Put the toilet lid down before flushing the toilet. This will help contain potential aerosol contaminated water droplets from entering the home, or business environment.


Wash your hands with soap and water after going to the toilet, touching a pet, before preparing a meal or eating, before smoking, and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing into your hands etc.


This recent study shows how very important regular hand washing with soap and water is in preventing infection, and preventing the spread of a global pandemic! There should be way more up front and visible public education on the importance of hand washing.


Washing your hands properly and regularly is extremely important!!!


This recent study shows how very important hand washing with soap and water is in the prevention of infection, and preventing the spread of global epidemics!


There should be way more up front and visible public education on the importance of hand washing in the prevention of disease.


23rd December 2019 - Hand‐Hygiene Mitigation Strategies Against Global Disease Spreading through the Air Transportation Network


Abstract Extracts:


Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO) consider hand hygiene as the most efficient and cost‐effective way to limit disease propagation.


Here, we use epidemiological modeling and data‐driven simulations to elucidate the role of individual engagement with hand hygiene inside airports in conjunction with human travel on the global spread of epidemics. We find that, by increasing travelers engagement with hand hygiene at all airports, a potential pandemic can be inhibited by 24% to 69%.

Potential 110 Times Regulatory Exposure Limit For Children!

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Tuesday, February 18th, 2020

February 2020,


The “Berkeley Cell Phone Right To Know Ordinance” requires mobile phone retailers in the USA city of Berkeley to post this notice:


"The City of Berkeley requires that you be provided the following notice: To assure safety, the Federal Government requires that cell phones meet radiofrequency (RF) exposure guidelines. If you carry or use your phone in a pants or shirt pocket or tucked into a bra when the phone is ON and connected to a wireless network, you may exceed the federal guidelines for exposure to RF radiation. Refer to the instructions in your phone or user manual for information about how to use your phone safely.”


The USA Supreme Court rejected the cell phone industry challenge to the Berkeley ordinance.


Extracts:


"The court agreed that our precious First Amendment guarantees that we have the right to know that cell phones emit radiation and that levels can be exceeded when phones contact the body. Astonishingly, the industry argued that compelling them to provide information about tested distances set for large adults denied their right to keep this information hidden as part of their right to free speech.


Investigations at FCC accredited labs by the Chicago Tribune, the law firm of Fegan Scott, and CBC Broadcasting, as well as tests of hundreds of phones by the French government disclosed that the Berkeley advice may well understate exposures. Some of the most popular smartphones emit up to 11 times as much radiation as permitted under outdated FCC radiation exposure guidelines when tested against the body."


Article:


https://www.ibtimes.com/supreme-court-rejects-cell-phone-industry-challenge-berkeley-ordinance-2882980


The industry went to a lot of expense to try and stop this information from being placed in plain view. It is your right to be made fully aware of this safety requirement! Why was there such strong industry opposition to having this safety information placed in plain sight?


The chart below shows how dramatically microwave wireless frequency radiation exposure levels increase, when an adult male places one of the tested smartphones against their body. The microwave wireless frequency radiation exposure levels would be even greater for most women, as their body size is smaller than the "Reference Man" body size that is used for testing.


WikiPedia:


“Reference man is defined as being between 20-30 years of age, weighing 70 kg, is 170 cm in height, and lives in a climate with an average temperature of from 10°C to 20°C. He is a Caucasian and is a Western European or North American in habitat and custom.”



Children are not small adults, their biology and physical size are very different from adults. Here I provided an extract from page two of a research article, link below.


"The use of cell phone in children is dangerous due to the closer proximity of the mobile phone to their brain compared to adults; the average RF exposure from its use is higher by a factor of 2 in a child’s brain and by a factor of 10 in the bone marrow of the skull.


Brain and bone marrow have a higher conductivity in children than in adults and receive a higher energy deposition from RF sources. With age, the bone marrow progressively incorporates more fat, and the bone itself increases in thickness, hardens, and loses water over time, thus making the tissues less vulnerable."


The statement of 11 times the radiation exposure limit if used against the body, in the Berkeley Ordinance article above, is for a large adult male body size. This means the child dose equivalent above the USA regulatory limit would be much much greater, because their body size and head size is much smaller than a large adult male.


Extrapolating from the information provided in the research paper, it would mean that children, using some of the most popular smartphones, would potentially be exposed to, an equivalent of 11 X 2, or 22 times above the regulatory limit for their brains, and 11 X 10, or 110 times greater for their skull bone marrow!


Every parent should be socked by the revelation that these safety tests are based on a large adult male body size, and do not in any way provide a safety guide for children!

Polar Vortex, & Grand Solar Minima

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Monday, January 28th, 2019

28th January 2019

During a Grand Solar Minima the upper atmosphere becomes more charged from very high energy galactic and intergalactic cosmic particles hitting the earth's upper atmosphere.


In this high altitude balloon testing chart from spaceweather.com, you can see that cosmic ray intensity has hit historic high levels in 2018.


http://www.spaceweather.com/images2018/30jul18/stratosphere_california_strip.png


One of the effects of increased cosmic rays is the upper atmosphere high speed jet streams at the North and South Poles start to wander more frequently from their normal relatively stable course.


As the Northern Hemisphere jet stream wanders South, it draws cold Arctic air with it, and on the other side of this much warmer tropical air can be drawn from the tropics much further North.


In this image you can see what a stable jet stream looks like compared to a polar vortex event.



During a polar vortex event, a country as large as the US could have part of the country experiencing a heat wave, while the other part will be experiencing record cold temperatures.


This image shows how a solar vortex can create enormous temperature differences. Where the very hot and very cold air masses meet, you will see extreme weather events occur.


Grand Solar Minima are historically associated with dramatic weather events. Examples are massive hail events, a year or month's worth of rain falling in a day, record snow, record hot and cold temperatures, plus way above the normal number of lightning strikes during storms. Tornadoes can appear in regions where you would not expect to see them. Deserts can see massive flooding or even snow, while other areas that are normally wet can experience droughts.


These earth changes happen so quickly and dramatically that farmers can't cope. This leads to massive crop losses, as we can see presently occurring on the worldwide crop loss map below. Click the map markers to get report details. These worldwide crop losses have been created by rapid and dynamically changing weather conditions, cold, heat, flooding, snow, hail and drought etc., over the last 12 months. As we go deeper into a Grand Solar Minima, crop losses will intensify, because of an increasing number of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes that are also triggered by the increasing cosmic rays intensity.


http://iceagefarmer.com/map/


There is a lot of scientific discussion at present on how extreme this Grand Solar Minima will be. Will it be similar to a milder Dalton, (years 1790 1820), or more like the extreme Maunder Minima (years 1645 1715). There is the possibility that this Grand Solar Minima will be even more extreme than both of these recent past Grand Solar Minima. The strength or weakness of the next eleven year solar cycle will provide an indication. The number of Sun spots define what is a minimum or maximum for a solar cycle.


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Sunspot_Numbers.png/500px-Sunspot_Numbers.png


Most governments are not up to speed on this new dynamic, and this will lead to a lot of people dying and worldwide instability because there have not been significant preparations put in place. We know what happened in the past during Grand Solar Minima. It is all there in plain sight in the historical record for anyone who takes the time to do some basic research on the subject.

Huge Mobile Phone Recall!

By Peter Daley · Comments (1)
Friday, May 4th, 2018

4th May 2018


This huge mobile phone recall should be a clear message to members that you need to research the amount of radiation put out by your mobile phone. This is called the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The lower the phones SAR level the less your radiation exposure. Numerous models recently tested by the French regulator have been discovered to be exceeding by as much as ten times the SAR regulatory threshold when compared to the US standard. This is a massive amount!


These devices are radiating more than just microwave radiation, they are also radiating very high speed digital pulsed radiation as well. The high speed digitally pulse signal is used for the data transfer between devices or the mobile tower. The the microwave is the carrier signal on which the the data signal rides. As each new generation of mobile phone gets faster, the frequency of the microwave carrier signal increases.


To communicate with older generation devices new devices can operate on multiple microwave frequencies 3G, 4G, 5G, WiFi and Blue tooth etc., It is very important to understand how to use the device settings to turn off those microwave bands your are not using. For instance, you may not need to have WiFi or bluetooth turned on all the time. Only turn them on when you need them. If you do this you will greatly reduce the radiation expose from the device. This is covered on page two of the free club safety guide provided below.


People are becoming addicted to their need for constant social validation, seeing their worth related to the number of times people communicate with them, through their smart devices. This has become such a huge problem that recent studies are showing that large numbers people and particularly children are now suffering from sleep deprivation, because they take they phone to bed with them. If their not communicating with it, they are in a shallow sleep in anticipation, waiting for the next call!


No microwave radiation safety expert with tell you that it is safe for children to use a mobile phone!


Why?


The SAR regulatory limit is measured using an average American 25 year old male's head size. A child's heads and body size is much smaller than an adult male, so they are exposed to a lot more radiation when using any mobile phone. Proportionally their SAR exposure is very much greater! So no children should be using any of these phones.


French Telecom Operator Orange Recalls Cell Phone Over Excessive Radiation, Could Lead To Cancer - 6 Apr 18


Extracts:


We will not accept the “regulatory” sleight of hand that would leave in circulation hundreds of mobile phones tested by ANFR before 2016 and which present for the vast majority of them, exposure thresholds well above the limit values of 2 W/kg. As a reminder, 9 out of 10 phones tested in 2015 exceeded the regulatory limits, some reaching, in terms of the European standard, more than 7 W/kg, or, recalculated according to the U.S. standard, more than 20 W/kg, that is, exceeding ten times the thresholds, posing a risk to the health and safety of users.


“Thanks to Dr. Arazi, the world is finally waking up to the fact that phones are not safe, especially when used near the body. These new reports from the French national test agency show phones exceed current test limits many fold when at body contact. We must stop experimenting on our children and ourselves. Studies from the Cleveland Clinic and leading institutions in Australia and India confirm that men who wish to father healthy children must keep phones out of their pockets. It is vitally important that all public educational institutions develop simple directions to the millions of cell phone users around the world on how to limit exposure.”

The club provides this WiFi safety guide to members, if you haven't already downloaded the safety guide below, please do. Page two provides lots of suggestions on how to easily reduce your families microwave and pulsed radiation radiation exposure! You are welcome to share it with friends and family.


I have never owned a mobile phone, plus I have the the home hard wired, so we don't use WiFi. I live a much more relaxed life style than the average mobile phone user.

Earth Changes

By Peter Daley · Comments (2)
Wednesday, March 7th, 2018

7th March 2017


Sun induced climate change is now occurring and will create huge planetary changes in the coming decades. There have been a large number of scientific papers presented on this subject. The evidence is that this will overwhelm the CO2 climate change warming narrative. This event will create a lot of instability on our planet.


The Sun is going into one of it's quiet periods. The historic records show the Sun goes into a Maunder type minimum  approximately every four hundred years. We are due for one, and there have been a lot of research paper releases recently that are pointing to us entering the beginning of one of these events. Historic records show that when a solar events like this occurs it results in dramatic worldwide weather changes, more political upheaval, empires die, more wars occur, plus there are large worldwide crop failures.


More Cosmic Rays


What this means is that the Sun is becoming far less radiant. A less Sun radiance means it’s heliosphere becomes much weaker. The heliosphere is a bubble-like region of space dominated by the Sun’s solar wind and magnetic field. It normally extends far beyond the orbit of Pluto. Plasma "blown" out from the sun's heliosphere acts as a shield, protecting the solar system and Earth from in coming intergalactic and galactic cosmic rays.


A much weaker heliosphere means more cosmic rays strike earth’s upper atmosphere.


The comic ray intensity will also increase because the Earth is moving out of the local cloud, which is the left over remnant of an old supernova event. The local cloud has also been providing some protection from galactic cosmic rays.


I have very sophisticated computer based radiation testing equipment, and a recent test of 34 grams of organic material caught in a local water tank inlet filter, resulted in the detection of a lot of isotope Beryllium-7 (Be-7).


This test indicates that a lot more cosmic rays are striking the upper atmosphere. The amount of Be-7 increases as more cosmic rays strike the upper atmosphere. It takes around two weeks for upper atmosphere Be-7 to work its way down to the surface.


Local Water Tank Filter Test


Here is a test of 34 grams of organic material caught in a local water tank inlet filter. (Click to see larger image)


Be-7 can be created naturally in trace amounts by spallation in the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays. Lead Pb-210 is the decay daughter of naturally occurring Radon-222 decay. The fact is, this is a lot of Be-7 in a small 34 grams of material.


A contact found this research paper, and sent it to me. It shows that Be-7 production is tied to Solar cycles. As the sun heliosphere diminishes, more Be-7 is produced in the upper atmosphere.

https://pubs.giss.nasa.gov/docs/1996/1996_Koch_ko01000b.pdf


More Earthquakes and Volcano Eruptions


When we go into one of these quiet Sun periods the historic records show there is a significant up tick in earthquake and volcanic eruptions. The volcanic eruptions will release huge amounts of sulfur dioxide and particulate matter into the atmosphere, which will cause global cooling and significant weather changes.


I have set up a local live Radon monitoring station which has been operating here for years now. Towards the end of last year, and leading into this year, I have been getting these very large Radon spike detections at the local live Radon monitoring station, when the wind comes from the Pacific rim. These detections point to a significant up tick in volcanic and earthquake activity on the Pacific fault lines.



Weaker Magnetosphere


I have been a sun watcher for many years, and know it was very unusual for the small solar storms that occurred in 2011 to produce Northern light displays, so far south in North America at the time. These unusual Northern lights displays indicated to me that the electrical dynamics of the upper atmosphere had been changed. In my opinion the Fukushima Nuclear Catastrophe was responsible for this upper atmosphere damage.


Huge amounts of Ionizing radiation released, and still being released from the Fukushima site, has significantly changed the electrical proprieties of the upper atmosphere. This has significantly altered the way solar wind energy is now distributed through earth's atmosphere.  Added to this, the earth's magnetic field has weakened by 20% already, and appears to be weakening by around 10% per decade, plus this weakening may accelerate in the coming years.


What would have been considered relatively weak solar storms previously, are now causing more electrical equipment failure, and transformer fires around the world.


The combined effect of a weaker magnetic field, and the atmospheric ionizing radiation damage now means that a much much smaller solar event, one significantly smaller than a “Carrington Event of 1859”, could wipe out large parts of earth’s electrical infrastructure!


What does this mean to you?

Example:


If you are smart you will study the subject. With this knowledge you will make better decisions. You will become more aware of the new risks in the changing environment and take due care.


With the increasing cosmic ray exposure and a weaker magnetosphere, air crew and passengers will be exposed to lot more radiation exposure on long hall flights!


In this new environment, would it be wise to take a new born baby on a long plane trip to visit the grandparents in England?


There is now much more risk for that child because they will be exposed to significantly more intense cosmic rays for many hours while on this high altitude flight there and back.


Weather Changes & Extreme UV Levels


There will be extreme weather events. It will not just be heat records broken, but also extreme cold events. It will result in more severe storms, hail storms and lighting strikes, severe flooding, and record snow, as climate regions shift.


UV levels are already extreme here in summer, so the last thing you want to be doing is going to a lovely sandy beach with your family in the middle of the day in summer. If you are out and about in these extreme UV conditions, you should also be wearing, a wide brim hat, proper clothing, plus good quality wrap around UV rated sun glasses. If you don’t, you are more likely to develop skin cancers and eye cataracts.


These events are already occurring, and if you take the time to the research the subject, you will find numerous reports on the Internet.


War


It is officially recognized that the world is in a more dangerous situation now than during the cold war!


World natural resources and food supplies will come under severe pressure, as a result of large crop failures and natural disasters. We have numerous nuclear plants around the world. These plants could become ticking time bombs in severe weather conditions and with increased volcanic and earthquake activity. I know that there is a lie being spread on the Internet that no one has died as a result of the ongoing Fukushima Nuclear Catastrophe. Here is proof that it is a lie.

If a nuclear event or war broke out what would you do?


It is no use waiting till the last minute to find out what you need to do to increase your family's chance of survival. Numerous countries around the world have recently been instigating civil defense education programs. Nuclear war or a nuclear accident are survivable if you have prepared and have researched the subject and know what to do to protect your family.


Summary


All these changes will mean you will have to be on your toes and have some preparations in place.


Modern society works on a system of delivery on time. This means there are no large stores of food items at the local supermarkets, plus if the local power goes down for any length of time, the water supply will stop. A freezing cold event can also take out the water supply as the water pipes burst from expanding ice as they freeze.


Sweden, Estonia, and other countries recently told their citizens to have extra food and water on hand in case of war or disaster. Some are recommending a week to a month or more extra. Here are some video instructions they provided. They also pointed out that their citizens will not be able to rely on their governments for help if a major event occurs. Other countries have provided similar advice.


Update August 2018


Worldwide crop losses have increased dramatically in the last six months. If this trend continues into 2019 we will see further dramatic increase in food prices around the world. The food shortages could lead to a lot of social unrest in the most affected countries.


As the Sun goes quiet during this cycle, its Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) is deminishing. Because of this Galactic and Inter Galactic Cosmic rays penetration into earth's atmosphere has hit an historic high level, and is increasing. The cosmic ray increase will create a lot of dramatic Earth Changes. Read the "Earth Changes" article above and do further research on the subject.

Here are links to lots of useful Internet services that will allow you to monitor environment conditions, plus provide you with information on preparations you should consider putting in place.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Polar Vortex & Grand Solar Minima


During a Grand Solar Minima the upper atmosphere becomes more charged from very high energy galactic and intergalactic cosmic particles hitting the earth's upper atmosphere.


In this high altitude balloon testing chart from spaceweather.com, you can see that cosmic ray intensity has hit historic high levels in 2018.


http://www.spaceweather.com/images2018/30jul18/stratosphere_california_strip.png


One of the effects of increased cosmic rays is the upper atmosphere high speed jet streams at the North and South Poles start to wander more frequently from their normal relatively stable course.


As the Northern Hemisphere jet stream wanders South, it draws cold Arctic air with it, and on the other side of this much warmer tropical air can be drawn from the tropics much further North.


In this image you can see what a stable jet stream looks like compared to a polar vortex event.



During a polar vortex event, a country as large as the US could have part of the country experiencing a heat wave, while the other part will be experiencing record cold temperatures.


This image shows how a solar vortex can create enormous temperature differences. Where the very hot and very cold air masses meet, you will see extreme weather events occur.


https://tribwpix.files.wordpress.com/2014/07/polar1.png?w=770&h=433


Grand Solar Minima are historically associated with dramatic weather events. Examples are massive hail events, a year or month's worth of rain falling in a day, record snow, record hot and cold temperatures, plus way above the normal number of lightning strikes during storms. Tornadoes can appear in regions where you would not expect to see them. Deserts can see massive flooding or even snow, while other areas that are normally wet can experience droughts.


These earth changes happen so quickly and dramatically that farmers can't cope. This leads to massive crop losses, as we can see presently occurring on the worldwide crop loss map below. Click the map markers to get report details. These worldwide crop losses have been created by rapid and dynamically changing weather conditions, cold, heat, flooding, snow, hail and drought etc., over the last 12 months. As we go deeper into a Grand Solar Minima, crop losses will intensify, because of an increasing number of volcanic eruptions and earthquakes that are also triggered by the increasing cosmic rays intensity.


http://iceagefarmer.com/map/


There is a lot of scientific discussion at present on how extreme this Grand Solar Minima will be. Will it be similar to a milder Dalton, (years 1790 1820), or more like the extreme Maunder Minima (years 1645 1715). There is the possibility that this Grand Solar Minima will be even more extreme than both of these recent past Grand Solar Minima. The strength or weakness of the next eleven year solar cycle will provide an indication. The number of Sun spots define what is a minimum or maximum for a solar cycle.


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/28/Sunspot_Numbers.png/500px-Sunspot_Numbers.png


Most governments are not up to speed on this new dynamic, and this will lead to a lot of people dying and worldwide instability because there have not been significant preparations put in place. We know what happened in the past during Grand Solar Minima. It is all there in plain sight in the historical record for anyone who takes the time to do some basic research on the subject.

Slimjet Web Browser

By Tech Techaccess · Comments (0)
Wednesday, March 7th, 2018

 

 By Peter Dodwell, March 2018

 

Slimjet is a fast, smart and powerful alternative web browser built on top of the Chromium open-source project (on which Google Chrome is also based).

 

https://www.slimjet.com/

 

It adds extra options to Chromium to make it more flexible and customisable. It also integrates additional features into Chromium so that users can get more done in less time without relying on external plugins.

 

Almost all of the features in Chromium have been kept in Slimjet to ensure compatibility. Most plugins and extensions designed for Chrome should work just fine in Slimjet. You can install any extension and theme from Chrome web store directly onto Slimjet. One feature that I like is the ability for links in Slimjet to automatically open in a new tab.

 

The only caveat that I’ve found is that Slimjet doesn’t always play videos that are embedded in web sites. That’s because Slimjet doesn’t pay the exorbitant licensing fees that are demanded to use proprietary codecs. That doesn’t bother me at all, because Youtube videos
will play.

 

Site isolation

 

The most important feature adopted from Chrome is site isolation. Site isolation is an experimental security feature that offers additional protection against some types of malicious attacks from compromised web sites. It makes it harder for them to access or steal information from your accounts on other web sites.

 

Web sites typically can’t access each other’s data, thanks to code that enforces the Same Origin Policy. Occasionally, security bugs are found in this code and malicious web sites may try to bypass these rules to attack other web sites. The Chrome team aims to fix such bugs as quickly as possible.

 

Google’s site isolation feature improves security for the users of the Chrome browser, and other browsers based on it. When you enable site isolation, content for each open website in the Chrome browser is always rendered in a dedicated process, isolated from other sites. This creates an additional security boundary between websites. It appears to be one of the best defences against the Spectre vulnerability, and other hazards from infected web sites such as bitcoin miners.

 

Configuring site isolation for all websites gives you the strongest security. However, it will increase memory usage by approximately 10–20%. To enable Site Isolation in Slimjet, copy the following URL in the URL address bar: – slimjet://flas//eelble-site-per-process

 

A control window will open with the option to enable Strict site isolation. Left click on that button to enable it. Now you're done. Restart your web browser and site isolation is working.

 

Additional features

 

Built in Ad Blocker

 

To enable the ad blocker in Slimjet, select "Ad Blocker->Enable Ad Blocker" from the main menu. The same option is also available within the "ad blocker" section of the settings page at slimjet://settings .

 

Ad Blocker Options

 

To configure ad blocker options, select "Ad Blocker->Ad Blocker Options" from the main menu and you will see an options dialog. Select one more filter lists based on your needs. If you visit English sites only, select "English sites".

 

Otherwise, select "English sites" plus any other language you are reading during your surfing. If you are concerned about being tracked by the advertising companies, select the "Privacy Protection List". You can also add any third-party filter subscriptions by specifying its title and URL at the bottom of the options dialog.

 

QuickFill form filler

 

QuickFill vs. default password manager

 

The QuickFill form filler in Slimjet is designed to replace the default password manager available in Chromium. Compared with the default password manager, QuickFill is more convenient and intelligent. The default password manager saves only the login information including user name and password.

 

QuickFill saves all the data in a given web form. QuickFill also saves the web page url together with the form data so that you can complete the sequence of opening web page, filling login information and submitting the form in a single step automatically.

 

QuickFill is enabled by default in lieu of the default password manager. However, if you wish to use the default password manager instead, turn off the option "Use QuickFill form filler instead of default password manager" in the section "Password and forms" of the settings page.

 

Tracking prevention

 

Slimjet has included a list of tracking prevention options to stop the Internet companies and advertising businesses from tracking your browsing activities. However, it's mostly up to the website owner to decide whether they would respect this request.

 

Send a "Do Not Track" request with your browsing traffic Send a "Do Not Track" http header with your browsing traffic. As the largest advertiser on Internet, Google DOES NOT respect this request. Despite being a very popular option among most browsers, it's the least effective one.

 

To access the tracking prevention options, select "Settings" from the main menu to open the settings page.

 

Click the "Show advanced settings" link at the bottom to show the advanced settings. Then scroll down to the "Tracking prevention options" subsection under the "Privacy" section.

 

Youtube video downloader

 

When you visit a video page on the YouTube website, you will see a "Download Video" image button on the left bottom corner of the playing video. If you just want to download the video file, select the resolution and format from the list box on the left side and click the "Download Video" button on the right side to download the video on the current page. If you wish to download the video file and also extract the mp3 audio file from the video file, check the option "Extract mp3 audio file from video file" first and then click the "Download Video" button.

 

The extracted audio won't be directly accessible from the download shelf in this case. You can locate the audio file under the same folder as the video file using Windows Explorer.

 

Photo salon enhancement and framing

 

The Photo-Salon in Slimjet lets you frame your photos and add other enhancement effects before uploading them to the server. If automatic photo shrinking feature is enabled on this domain, they will be shrunk to the preset resolution as well.

 

How to enter photo salon?

 

To enter the photo salon, just click the option "Process Photo" in the open file dialog where you choose the files to be uploaded. After that, click OK to close the open file dialog and the Photo-Salon will pop up.

 

Automatic Photo Shrinking

 

Slimjet can automatically shrink photos to a reasonable resolution enough for  web sharing purpose to dramatically cut down the time required to upload the photos to photo sharing web sites. The default target resolution for shrinking is 1M pixels. Usually no more than 2M pixels are needed since every few monitors have resolution more than that.

 

To configure options about automatic photo shrinking, go to the section "Photo processing" in the setting pages. The option "Automatically shrink photo files to make upload faster" is enabled by default. Click the button "Photo shrinking settings" to set the target resolution on a per-domain basis.

 

Built-in weather forecast

 

Slimjet provides a built-in weather forecast feature so that you can view your local weather condition directly in the browser without opening any website.

 

Use the arrow adjacent to the tool bar buttons to access the option to customise the tool bar (labeled “More tool bar buttons” when you hover your mouse arrow on it). This will open a list of additional buttons on the left side of the dual pane. Just drag the weather button to the right side to install it. All you have to do then is to set up your location information. After that, you will see your local weather condition and current temperature directly on the button.

 

NB! I haven’t covered in this tutorial any of the regular features to be found in Chrome. If you need help with any of them, you can get more information from Chrome’s on line help service.

Mobile Phone Wakeup Call

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Monday, August 7th, 2017

1st August 2017

 

It is time to take a good hard look at how you use your mobile phone. Deep down in the manufactures manual is an instruction to keep the phone away from your head. Depending on the manufacturer, the recommended distance could be 5 millimeters to 2.5 centimeters. Why this recommendation? This is so your phone use does not exceed the current regulatory safety limits for microwave radiation exposure to your head or body.

 

After months of legal action by French physician Dr. Marc Arazi, in June 2017 the National Frequency Agency of France (ANFR) revealed the 2015 test results of hundreds of cell phones. This ANFR study shows that if you use these phones like the majority of people do, touching the body, the phones significantly exceeded the government radiation exposure safety limits.

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1B_H5Og0k-g

 

Test chart below shows the results of the study. If you do place one of these mobile phones directly in contact with your body, your exposure level to microwave radiation can be three or more times greater than the maximum Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) safety level! I would like to point out that a lot of independent scientists are saying that the SAR value, is already set far too high in the first place! (Note: There is a difference between the USA and European SAR safety limit.)

 

 

The SAR value uses a standard 25 year old male head size to set the safety limit. This is a useless test when it comes to children because they have much thinner skulls, smaller heads and the protective myelin sheath hasn't developed over their brain neurones yet. This means that any child's microwave radiation exposure is much greater than for an adult, when using a mobile phone. What level of exposure are children getting in the light of this new information?

 

Independent scientists are ringing alarm bells about the health effects of these devices. Watch this 3 minute video.

 

https://youtu.be/My5leLBbNqI

 

Why in California, did the CTIA, a wireless industry lobby group, sue the City of Berkeley for passing an ordinance that consumers be informed about the manufacturer's safety instructions to keep these devices away from your body? These safety instructions are deep down in the manufactures manuals.

 

The CTIA argued that the “Right To Know Ordinance” violated free speech rights. They lost their case when the judges ruled that the Ordinance was “in the public interest”. The Court concluded that barring the Berkeley law “would injure the public interest in having a free flow of accurate information.”

 

The city of Berkeley Mobile Phone retailers are now required to post this notice in clear view:

 

To assure safety, the Federal Government requires that cell phones meet radio frequency (RF) exposure guidelines. If you carry or use your phone in a pants or shirt pocket or tucked into a bra when the phone is ON and connected to a wireless network, you may exceed the federal guidelines for exposure to RF radiation. Refer to the instructions in your phone or user manual for information about how to use your phone safely.

 

The industry went to a lot of expense to try and stop this information being in clear view. Isn't it your right to be made fully aware of this safety requirement?

 

So why was there such strong industry opposition to prevent this information from being placed in plain sight?

Here you will find the fine print warnings for different devices.

https://ehtrust.org/key-issues/cell-phoneswireless/fine-print-warnings/

 

Update: 18th December 2017 - California Health Officials Release Guidelines To Avoid Cellphone Radiation

 

Extracts:

 

Dr. Joel Moskowitz at UC Berkeley said, “Currently we’re not doing a good job in regulating radiation from these devices. In fact, we’re doing an abysmal job.”

 

Moskowitz says this is a long-time coming.

 

He’s partially responsible for bringing this information to light. He sued the Department of Public Health for refusing to release information about the dangers of cellphone radiation back in 2009.

 

This spring he won that case.

“People are being injured and harmed by the delay in having this information accessible to them,” Moskowitz said.

18th November 2019 - Brain cancers : 4 times more new cases of glioblastoma in 2018 according to Public Health France

 

Extract:

 

Absolute duty to protect children and young people

 

For Dr Annie Sasco, cancer epidemiologist, former Director of Research Unit at IARC-WHO:

 

“The evolution of incidence and mortality rates of central nervous system tumors as a whole and especially glioblastoma over the past 30 years is of particular concern. Of course, diagnostic behaviours have evolved and play a role, especially for older people. Nevertheless, there is a real increase, even among the youngest, for whom it is likely that diagnostic modalities have changed less than among the elderly and which may therefore be linked to environmental factors and primarily to the use of mobile or wireless phones. Informing the public should make it possible not to continue on this upward trajectory, especially among young people, with an absolute duty to protect children by not allowing them to use a cellular phone and in general by protecting them from exposure to electromagnetic fields“.

Smart Meters, and The Internet of Things!

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Sunday, July 2nd, 2017

July 2nd 2017

FOR YOUR FAMILY'S HEALTH, SAFETY AND PRIVACY, SAY

TO THE INSTALLATION OF

SMART METERS / DIGITAL METERS

Research these devices and you will be shocked!

 

Peter Dodwell suggested at the June committee meeting that the club should spend time educating members and the community about “The Internet of things” (IoT). He pointed out there where serious security and privacy risks which people where not being told about!

 

What is the Internet of things? Here is a glossy corporate presentation.

 

Do deeper research into this subject, and you will be shocked at the human suffering and financial losses people have endured from the roll out of this technology.

 

To get this all working in your home, they need to persuade you to pay for the installation and replacement of your perfectly working, efficient, long life (50 year +) analogue electric meter, for a short life (~ 15 year) smart meter.

You may get a glossy brochure in the mail or a phone call, offering a free meter and installation. The Smart meter and installation costs end up in electricity bill increases for everyone, it is not free!

 

Once installed the Smart meter, also called Digital meter, becomes the Internet gateway device for all the smart devices in your home. Just be aware they also want to eventually install this type of device on your water and gas services.

 

Why all the effort to roll out all this Internet of things infrastructure? Energy companies see this as the financial gold mine at the end of the rainbow. The benefits for the power corporations are increased profits.

 

  • They no longer need meter readers.

     

  • Micro control of the electricity supply allows them to charge more for electricity.

     

  • Smart meters enable them to record huge amounts of private customer behaviour, and sell it for profit.

     

  • Financial benefit from the sale of smart appliances.

     

 

How has this all come about? They grease the political system on both sides of politics. Overseas, Congressmen, and other in government bureaucrats have ended up with lucrative corporate jobs at the end of their tenure.

 

They tell you it will help the environment, but each smart meter uses around 1,200 watts per day, which you pay for. Every smart device will use more electricity because the data collection and wireless transmission circuitry needs to be on all the time. Everywhere this technology has been rolled out electricity charges have gone up significantly!

 

Their slick campaigns focus on convenience. How cool it will be to get up in the morning and walk into the kitchen and say, “Make Coffee,” and your coffee maker will make coffee, or say TV turn on, to turn on the TV.

 

No mention of documented multiple detrimental effects to populations where these meters have been installed!

 

  • Major health issues for large numbers of people, causing personal financial losses.

     

  • House and business fires.

     

  • After Installation, electricity bills increased significantly.

     

  • Customers ended up paying for the cost in their electricity bills for the new meters and installation.

     

  • Insecure - hackers have easily hacked these devices, and gained access to free electricity, and customer data.

     

  • Used for mass surveillance.

 

The security of all these Internet of things smart devices is also a major issue! Yes they are frequently hacked. Peter Dodwell gave an example of baby monitors!

 

I roared with laughter when I read this one. Class action against a sex vibrator company. They had been collecting extensive usage data of people who had purchased their product, without their knowledge!

 

Members are flat out keeping their present gadgets secure and up to date. What are your chances of keeping your smart fridge, smart washing machine, smart TV baby monitor etc., updated and secured with the latest patches!

 

When devices like this are hacked on mass, they can be used as a controlled army to take down Internet connected infrastructure. This has happened numerous times already, and we are only at the early stages of this roll out.

 

Here are free tips and information to help protect your family's health, safety, security, and privacy!

 

  • The best way to slash electricity bills is to religiously turn off lights and other devices at the wall, when not in use!

     

  • To opt out of having a smart meter installed on your home, unit complex or business, use the information provided in the free Smart Meter Protection Kit. https://sccc.org.au/wifi/Smart-Meter-Installation-Protection-Kit-Updated.pdf

     

  • Free Wireless Safety Kit, page 2 includes practical ways to improve you and your family's safety. https://sccc.org.au/wifi/microwave-safety-chart.pdf

     

  • More Info:   https://stopsmartmeters.com.au/

 

Large numbers of people where smart meters have been rolled out have developed microwave sickness, now called  electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS).

 

 

The main symptoms of EHS are headaches, chronic fatigue, recurring infections, difficulties concentrating, memory loss, inexplicable unhappiness, dermatological symptoms, irritability or sleeplessness, heart problems, poor blood circulation, disorientation, nasal congestion, reduced libido, thyroid disorders, eye discomfort, tinnitus, increased need to urinate, listlessness, capillary fragility, cold hands and feet, and stiff muscles. If you have any of these symptoms, always consult your doctor to eliminate other possible causes.

More Info: (ANRES) & Oceania Radiofrequency Scientific Advisory Association Inc.

 

 

For everyone's health, safety, and privacy, please pass this handout onto friends, relatives and neighbours, because we also need them to say NO! Do letter box drops, hand it out, email it, plus post it on web sites and social media. Flyer download link.

More excellent short videos on the subject.

 

Further Reading

 

Extract from Queensland Government web site:

"New meters

New national metering rules are expected to come into effect on 1 December 2017, making digital meters the standard meter for all customers. This means that whenever a new meter is installed, a digital meter will be the default option. However, in limited circumstances, customers in existing premises may opt-out of having a digital meter.

 

After the commencement of the new rules, small customers will not need to do anything. Your electricity distributor (e.g. Energex, Ergon Energy) will continue to provide metering services at your premises until you decide to install a digital meter, or the meter needs replacement (e.g. due to fault or age)."

Headache Cure!

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Friday, July 1st, 2016

(1st July 2016)

 

A person brought his laptop and DSL modem to me to check out. Apparently he had spent a lot of time on the Internet  service provider help line, and they were unable to fix the Internet connection problem over the phone. There was uncertainty whether it was the modem or the laptop that was the problem, as the service provider assured him that the ADSL line tested OK.

 

I sorted the issues with the laptop and then turned on the ADSL wireless modem. I now test all wireless devices with my trusty microwave meter, to see what signal strength they put out. This helps you establish if the device is working properly.

 

Normal  microwave background in most American cities in the 1990s was around 30 micro watts per square meter (30uW/m2), in the country it was less than 10uW/m2. This modem was radiating 1,100,000 uW/m2. If you look at the club Microwave Safety Guide chart (bottom of page), this is at the top signal strength level region for home microwave devices. This device close up signal strength, was a million times above the natural microwave radiation background for all previous generations of humans!

 

In my opinion, this device presented a health risk, particularly if it was located close to him while he was using his computer. I called him and asked where he had this device located, in relation to his computer.  I pointed out that it was a very powerful Wifi device, and he shouldn't have it close to him for long periods of time. It turned out he had it on his desk, about half a meter away from where he used his laptop, in his bedroom, plus it was always on.

 

Then the penny dropped, he realized that since the modem had been with me, his headaches had disappeared. He explained  that for the last 6 months or more, he had every conceivable medical test you can imagine to ascertain what was causing him to have severe headaches!  He immediately informed me he did not want this modem back. We established that he didn't even need a Wifi modem.  I suggested I set up a standard ADSL 2+ modem and have it connect to his laptop via a physical cable. I explained this set up would provide a much faster and safer Internet connection, compared to the Wifi Modem.

 

He ended up with a great outcome, a headache cure, plus a faster and safer Internet connection!

 

New ADSL and NBN modems often have two Wifi bands that they can work on, 2G and 5G. These two microwave wireless systems are generally turned on by default. In my opinion multi-band wireless devices are potentially more hazardous than single band wireless devices. This is because they put out a much stronger Wifi signal. You can usually turn one, or both bands off, in the modem settings.

 

From research, the microwave signal is not the sole health issue. The microwave signal is just a carrier wave, for the digital information signal, that conveys information to and from your devices. This modulated digital signal on the microwave carrier wave, is also creating biological damage, that can result in serious health issues.

 

Those who are sensitive will notice the health effects first. It can cause lots of other health issues besides cancer. It is important to take a precautionary approach to these technologies, and limit you and your families' exposure. If you don't need it, turn it off, educate you family members to do the same.  Purchase Wifi devices with a physical on / off wireless switch.

 

Download and read the Microwave Safety Guide below, on page two it provides lots of practical ways to easily and greatly reduce you and your families microwave radiation exposure!

In this short road tour video with Sunshine Coast Daily reporter Kathy Sundstrom, I show the microwave meter in action.  The TES 593 microwave meter is probably a much better microwave meter than the Tenmars TM-196 used in this video. They cost around the same. Note: Strong EMF fields from substations and power lines, as well as Radon excitation can potentially cause illness.

Very, Very, Hot !

Wednesday, June 1st, 2016

(1st June 2016)

 

I was shocked recently when a gentleman walked into Sunshine Coast Computer Club local live radiation monitoring station equipment room, and set all the Geiger counter alarms off! At first I though a major nuclear event was occurring. 🙁

 

After the computer based Geiger counter also stated to alarm, I picked up the GammaScout Geiger counter that also started to alarm, and noted it was reading 2.67 uSv/hr. I was standing ~ 2 meters away from him at this point. I had been a lot closer. 🙁

 

It turned out he had just come from a CT scan at a Sunshine Coast Private Medical Centre.

 

He asked if he should leave?  I politely said yes.

 

I spoke to him later outside on the footpath, mind you keeping my distance.

 

It turned out that the medical center hadn't told him squat about what they had injected him with, or given him any warnings or post procedural advice!

 

I was shocked at the levels, and pointed out they should have warned him to stay clear of people, including his wife, and particularly children, for at least 24 hours, plus drink plenty of water for 24 hours to flush it out of his system.

 

So at one metre he was 5.34 uSv/hr, at half a meter 10.68 uSv/hr, and at quarter of a meter 21.36 uSv/hr! If he just happened to hold his grandchild or baby in his arms, well you get the picture, it would be probably greater than 80 uSv/hr.

 

A medical chest X-ray is approximately an instantaneous 100 uSv, but at half a metre, you're getting a full body X-ray every ten seconds, while in the presence of this gentleman!

 

in my opinion the medical profession has become far too complacent in its handling of these highly radioactive materials, and are placing their patients and the public at risk!

 

Children, particularly girls and pregnant women, are far more sensitive to the effects of radiation.

 

https://antinuclearinfo.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/graph-cancer-beir-vii2.gif?w=540&h=394

 

This all happened rather quickly as you can see from the recorded chart below. I removed the spike in data out of the day average calculation for that day, as it is displayed Internationally on the Internet. The GammaScout Geiger counter is on 60 second data collection, so it didn't pick up the full peak of my visual observation.

Medical Treatment Spike

 

This gentlemen was the source of a very high radiation detection, as he had left the hospital the CT scan was not the source of this high detection, but the radioactive tracer he was injected with.  CT scans are another source of radiation exposure, and from the information in this recently published "The Western Australian" article , they also pose a radiation risk!

 

11th May 2016 - Health experts want doctors to consider CT scan radiation risks

https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/wa/a/31566106/app-flags-risk-of-ct-radiation/

 

Quote:

 

"An estimated 430 Australians die each year from cancer caused by exposure to X-rays but experts are particularly concerned about the higher doses of ionising radiation from CT scans. A single CT scan of the abdomen or pelvis gives a one in 1000 risk of developing fatal cancer - the same risk of being killed on WA roads over a 10-year period. The risk increases for each CT scan."

 

There are often safer alternative diagnostic tools that can be used for some medical tests, like an MRI or ultrasound, instead of a CT scan.

 

Important:

1. Medical staff should tell you what they are injecting you with!

2. If it is highly radioactive material, they should instruct you on what post procedural actions should be taken.

3. These procedures are important as they will limit the exposure of your family and friends, and very important if you have a pregnant women or your children, in your environment after treatment.

 

Radiation exposure health effects show up years later after the exposure.

WiFi Is Not Safe For Children!

By Peter Daley · Comments (1)
Sunday, February 21st, 2016

(21st February 2016)

 

If you haven't already, I suggest watching this recently aired ABC Catalyst program on the risk of WiFi technologies.

 

Extract:

“Wi-Fi blankets our homes, schools & cities. Dr Maryanne Demasi takes a closer look at the link between mobile phones & brain cancer & explores whether our wireless devices could be putting our health at risk. #ABCcatalyst.”

 

http://iview.abc.net.au/programs/catalyst/SC1502H003S00

 

All mobile wireless devices are a source of microwave radiation. Microwave radiation was classed as a 2B carcinogen by the WHO in 2011, and a lot of independent researches felt it should have been classified as a 2A risk.

 

We have a criminal situation where younger and younger children being exposed to this technology, and we have no idea what long term effects this exposure will have on them. In the medical field you don't come up with a new chemical pill and give it to children without long term research. Even after this, they can get it wrong. Thalidomide is a good example of this.

 

There is no research on the long term effects of WiFi radiation on children, this generation is the experiment. Download and printout this free WiFi Safety Guide, it has practical suggestions on how to limit your family's WiFi exposure. https://sccc.org.au/wifi/microwave-safety-chart.pdf

Free WiFi Safety Guide

microwave-safety-guides

 

Over the years I have done a number of club tutorials on the risks of WiFi technology. You can find the core of this information on the club web site.

 

In these articles you will find excellent independent research information on this subject. I would encourage all members to take the time to read these articles, and watch the short informative videos. You will also find tips on how to limit your family's exposure.

 

I have a tri-axis Microwave meter to measure the strength of microwave radiation, in the environment or emanating from equipment, mobile phone, tablets, cordless phones, laptop etc. If there are enough members interested, I would like to encourage the club to also consider purchasing one, for club members to use. I can train members up on how to use it. It is an excellent tool to help protect your family.

 

It is important to understand that the industry runs interference to confuse the public, by funding research. Below is an extract from a “National Day Of Action Against Smart Meters with Jerry Flynn”, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-F3nf47kAs

 

Barrie Trower 1977 document

 

In the Catalyst program, it focus's on brain tumours. There is a lot of evidence that it not only causes this type of cancer, but also inner ear, salivary gland and carotid artery tumours, plus significant hormonal disturbances and other illness.

 

The foetus of pregnant women, children, and particularly girls, are much more sensitive to radiation than adults. In the Catalyst program they mention the research showing a mobile phone causing sperm damage to men who put it in their pants pocket. Well think about it, what damage is occurring to a young girl's eggs or a young boy's sperm when they place a tablet on their laps for hours at a time. Their bodies are a lot smaller, so their exposure is much greater than an adult! The microwave signal emanating from a tablet can also be stronger than a mobile phone!

 

States within Australia are having smart meters rolled out – covertly. The PDF document document below, has printable signs and suggestions on what actions to take, to prevent one being installed on your home.

For wireless convenience, we are placing at risk the health of generations of children!

Update: Here is my TenMars tri-axis microwave test meter in use on a road tour survey of the Sunshine Coast, with Kathy Sundstrom, from the Sunshine Coast Daily News Paper.  Here is a sort video of the road tour.

The Robot Revolution is Coming!

By Peter Daley · Comments (1)
Sunday, October 19th, 2014

Robot technology is advancing very rapidly and is about to start a robot revolution. Robots like Honda's Asimo, can understand commands, can run, jump up and down on one leg, walk up and down stairs, plus kick a soccer ball.

 

asimo

 

Watch this video to see Asimo in action - ASIMO Robot Next-Generation Unveiled! - 2014 Humanoid Robot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReN2l816L8k

Being able to do all these things is quite remarkable.

 

There are a lot of questions and repercussions that will be created by introducing robots into the presently over populated world. It will mean a lot of social restructuring in the way we do things, and present significant social and ethical questions. This robot revolution may not be all good, and could be potentially dangerous to the future of the human race.

 

“Humans need not apply” is a video that presents issues that will effect all aspects of society.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pq-S557XQU

 

At present there is a worldwide effort to develop sophisticated humanoid robots to carry out tasks in highly radioactive areas of the out of control Fukushima nuclear disaster site. It is now over three years and they still don't have control of the Fukushima site,  all the latest indicators are it is getting worse.

Energy, Economics and the Environment

By Peter Daley · Comments (1)
Sunday, July 6th, 2014

 

Over the next few years the world will be facing unprecedented change. Many people are becoming aware of this future that is unfolding, and are making changes in their lives, to prepare for this change. This is so they and their families can live a productive healthy life in the face of these changes. To understand how to prepare for this future, you need understand the dynamic interdependence of energy, economics and the environment. World resources are finite and can not sustain the constant exponential growth that our economic system is based on.

 

the three Es

 

Here is an excellent "Accelerated Crash Course" video which will get you up to speed on these dynamics. The more people who are educated in these dynamics, the smoother the change will be for everyone.

 

Accelerated Crash Course

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYyugz5wcrI

 

This web site has more information on this subject.

http://www.peakprosperity.com/crashcourse/accelerated

 

I suggest doing more research on this subject. There is a great deal of excellent information on the Internet. The more educated you are on this subject, the better prepared you will be to make wise choices.

 

As a world community, we need to refocus how we do things.  How about an economic system based on people, and not things. Instead of Gross national product, how about Gross national happiness? It is time to think clearly. After all, an economy is just an exchange of energy. We have to change direction, for the benefit of everyone, with the positive use of technology.  It will also mean a global consciousness shift,  or are we going to wait until we are on the edge of the precipice?

Important, WiFi in Schools!

By Peter Daley · Comments (4)
Friday, April 4th, 2014

(4th April 2014)

 

For wireless convenience, we are placing at risk the health of generations of children!

Facts

 

1.    Microwave radiation was classed as a 2b carcinogen by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2011.

 

It took a lot of scientific conferences and lobbying, to get to the point where the WHO made this classification. A lot of independent scientists feel the WHO has not gone far enough.

 

2.    Children and foetuses are much more sensitive to microwave radiation than adults.

 

The cells of children and a foetus are dividing much more quickly, plus their immune systems are not properly developed. Limiting their exposure to microwave radiation is important!

 

Children in Australian schools are now being encouraged to use wireless connected tablets and laptops, at an ever increasing early age. In my opinion this is criminal. This will expose millions of children, to an unprecedented amount of microwave radiation.

 

This exposure could result in an epidemic of serious illness in the future, amongst this generation of children. It can take five, ten, or twenty years, before illness from exposure to this type of radiation manifests! We should be taking a precautionary approach when it comes to children's health.

 

The Australian Government is aggressively implementing this program, despite the fact that other Governments around the world are banning WiFi in schools, and using wired networks. The Australian safety standard is 100 to 10,000 times higher than other countries. It is from the 1950s, and is based on the thermal effects of a six minute exposure, to an adult human body.

 

Watch these two very informative videos created by “WiFi in Schools Australia.” This organisation is made up of parents who have researched the biological effects of EMR.

“Wifi in schools web site”.

http://www.wifi-in-schools-australia.org/p/blog-page_16.html

 

Over the years a lot industry funded studies have claimed they could not find any significant health effects. FOIA documents from as far back as the 1950s, indicate that they have known all along about the serious long term health effects of non-ionising microwave radiation. Governments and Industry have kept it secret to preserve industrial profit.

 

Extract from this youtube video “National Day Of Action Against Smart Meters with Jerry Flynn.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-F3nf47kAs

Barrie Trower 1977 document

 

The vast majority of independent research on this subject, provides overwhelming evidence that microwave radiation causes biologic damage to the human body. The amount of damage depends on the length of exposure, and its intensity.

Wake up call part 2

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdmQDJ9WOiQ

 

The present Governments education policy is encouraging the use of WiFi based technologies in schools, to children at an ever early age. This is going to be exposed large numbers of Australian children to unprecedented amounts of microwave radiation!

 

Who will benefit? Corporate profits will increase from the sale of all this technology to parents, and schools. Schools have a duty of care to your children. Schools should not be exposing children to unprecedented amounts of microwave radiation. I know parents who have taken their children out of school over this issue.

 

You will find more informative videos and information on this subject, at the club web site here.

Pass this information on to parents and grandparents, to get them up to speed on this important issue.

Wireless Security and Risk Management

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Thursday, August 1st, 2013

(1st August 2013)

 

If you have children it is important to read,  Wireless Risk Management

 

Wireless technologies are  everywhere, providing convenience, and portability. Being able to communicate from anywhere, plus being able to get on the Internet and find information in an instant, are some of the benefits of using wireless technologies.

 

There are down sides to this. Their portability leaves them venerable to theft and forget fullness. Being connected to other systems and networks, leaves them constantly venerable to hacking attacks, virus infections and malware installations.

 

Here are some practical things you can do to improve security for mobile devices.

 

Security tips

 

1.  Have a decent password for access, at least 8 to 12 characters long, made up of upper, and lower case letters, plus symbols. Don’t use simple dictionary words with a birth date and a few numbers. These are very easy to break.

 

2. Install mobile security software, virus scanners, malware and sypware removers, plus encryption tools. Use encryption  to prevent easy access to private files, photos and data, from hackers.

 

3. Set up a device recovery system that allows you to track where the device is located. Great if you have just misplaced it somewhere. If you forget where you left it, this type of tool will allow you to track it from your home computer, laptop or mobile phone. There are remote recovery tools available, suitable for your Apple, Windows and Android based tablets and phones.

 

4. Make sure you also set up remote wipe/erase option if you set up one of these remote tracking systems. The device may not be recoverable, or has sensitive data on it that you want keep away from prying eyes. Being able to erase all your sensitive personal information quickly, could be more important than the device. Remote wipe software erases the entire system, and restores it to the factory settings. It has to be set up on the device you want to recover or erase, plus another phone, tablet, or computer you own.

 

Unfortunately no device is perfectly secure no matter which make and model you purchase. If you make the effort to follow the above suggestions, it will make it much more secure, and provide you with some peace of mind.

 

Wireless Risk Management

For wireless convenience, we are placing at risk the health of generations of children!

 

All mobile wireless devices are a source of microwave radiation. Microwave radiation was classed as a 2B carcinogen by the WHO in 2011, so limiting your exposure is important. Large numbers of independent peer review studies are showing this could potentially be a major health issue. All ionizing or non ionizing radiation is cumulative. Pregnant women, children, and and particularly girls, are much more sensitive to radiation than adults.

 

There is no safe level of microwave radiation exposure for children.

In this video British microwave military expert Barrie Trower, explains why tablets, wireless computers,

baby monitors, cell and cordless phones, plus other microwave radiation devices are NOT safe for children.

Professor Magda Havas of Trent University.

In this video there are demonstrations of how wireless household appliances such as portable phones, WiFi base stations and DECT baby monitors, broadcast constant microwave radiation, that is similar in intensity to being a few hundred meters away from a large cell phone tower. In this video you will be introduced to several cell antenna studies that show the microwave radiation that is emitted by these towers are harmful to human health.

Practical things you can do to reduce your family's exposure to Microwave Radiation.

 

The more wireless devices you have turned on in your house at one time, the more intense will be the microwave radiation exposure to your family and the neighbours. Think about it. In a home of a family of four, each person could have a mobile phone, a tablet computer, their own laptop, a cordless phone system, game console, wireless access point, or mobile broadband device.

 

All of these devices radiate significant amounts of microwave radiation individually. Combined, this adds up to a very significant exposure. Train the family to turn them off, or use alternative technologies! A lot of people don’t even own a mobile phone and they survive! Some people are far more sensitive than others to this type of radiation and can suffer significant symptoms, in a very short period of time.

 

Ideally stop using wireless devices altogether and use wired connections, or at least use methods to reduce you and your family's exposure. Doing this not only limits your exposure, but also the exposure to everyone around you! When it comes to microwave radiation, distance is your friend. Each doubling of the distance from a microwave transmitting device quarters the radiation exposure.

 

1. Turn devices off when not in use! Buy wireless devices with a physical on off wireless switch. Turning the wireless device off has an added benefit, it lessens the time available for someone to hack into the device. Wireless devices such as printers, access points, cordless phones, baby monitors, WiFi routers and tablets etc, can send out very strong microwave signals constantly when left on.

 

2. A lot of wireless modems and access points will allow you to turn down the wireless transmission signal strength in their software settings. Lower the wireless signal transmission strength to the lowest possible level you can, to get everything working well with a 3 to 4 bar signal strength.

 

3. Place wireless access points and mobile broadband devices as far away from you as practical. It is suggested to put mobile broadband USB devices on a 5 meter USB extension cable. This is so you place the device away from you. You can then also use it like an aerial, to find the best signal strength location. Don’t place these devices on your lap or on your person. Use texting, speaker phone or a corded earpeiece when using a mobile phone.

 

4. Only have the device’s wireless and bluetooth functions turned on when necessary. Remember there can be more than one wireless type built into a device, WiFi as well a bluetooth etc. You can turn off these functions in the laptop, mobile phone and tablet settings. This will also improve security.

 

5. Sleeping with these devices in your bedroom, bed, or under your pillow. is a fire hazard, and also a health hazard.

 

6. Replacing a cordless phone system with an old style corded phone will greatly reduce the amount of microwave radiation emanating through your house, and your head.

 

7. Smart meters / Digital meters are being rolled out, and these devices put out a very powerful wireless signal. Act now to opt out of having them installed in your home or business power box. https://sccc.org.au/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Smart-Meter-Installation-Protection-Kit-Updated.pdf

Act responsibly! USA statistics indicate ~25% of car accidents are now atributed to mobile phone use, and specifically texting while driving.

Because governments have deceived the public about food safety radiation levels worldwide.

They first release an article like the one below. I am using the EU as an example here.


“EU boosts food import controls after Japanese nuclear disaster. The European Union is to step up controls on food imports from Japan in the wake of the nuclear accident at Fukushima – but stressed there was no evidence that consumers in the region were at risk from radiation-contaminated food.


The EU ruling insists that all products from these prefectures are tested before leaving Japan and said they will be subject to random testing in the bloc. Japanese authorities will have to provide a declaration confirming products do not contain radioactive elements – called radionuclides – that exceed EU maximum levels. The Commission highlighted radionuclides iodine-131, caesium-134 and caesium-137."


http://www.foodproductiondaily.com/Quality-Safety/EU-boosts-food-import-controls-after-Japanese-nuclear-disaster


This makes you feel warm and cosy inside, because you think your government is looking after you and your family. This article "EU boosts food import controls after Japanese nuclear disaster" is a clever deception because they then proceed to quietly raise the EU maximum safety levels by 20x for cesium-134 and cesium-137. Governments worldwide have used this same tactic.


http://foodfreedom.wordpress.com/2011/04/04/eu-secretly-ups-cesium-safety-level-in-food-20-fold/


They then tell the public everything is testing below safety levels, nothing to worry about!


Here is another example, Japan this time. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc6FPIK1VaY


If you do purchase good food testing radiation contamination equipment, look at the old pre Fukushima radioactive food contamination safety levels, as a possible guide. If you can purchase a none contaminated food item do so, as any level of radioactive food contamination poses a risk.


So what does this mean?


Radiation contamination bio-accumulates over time, particularly in meat, dairy and seafood grown and harvested in radiation contaminated areas. Ingested radiation from contaminated food radiates body cells with high doses of radiation for long periods of time.


You can't rely on governments, so it is important for your family's health and safety that you take the time and effort to research this subject. In summary, for your family's safety, only purchase food and goods that are not from contaminated areas. Also, research dietary systems that help remove or protect your body from radioactive contamination.


An Oncologist in Japan Dr. Atsuo Yanagisawa, has been doing ongoing research on the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster site workers, and found he is getting very good results with Liposomal Vitamin C. It appears to be healing a lot of radiation damage to their bodies. Liposomal Vitamin C is a combination of vitamin C and lecithin. This combination seems to improve the up take of vitamin C by 80%! It maybe a good idea for you and your family to research taking this to fortify against the effects of radiation. He has been trying to encourage the Japanese government to educate their people about this treatment.

Flaxseed


A study from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania found that flaxseed may help protect lungs against the damage caused by radiation exposure. The researchers believe that flaxseed might also have a role in protecting other healthy tissues and organs, before exposure to radiation.  It can even significantly reduce damage even after exposure.


http://www.greenmedinfo.com/blog/protect-yourself-radiation-flaxseeds


If you are living in Southern Hemisphere, it is suggested at present, to eat locally grown food. A lot of Northern Hemisphere food is safe to eat. It is just hard to tell what is and what isn't, without government or private testing. The dynamics of the situation suggests that Southern Hemisphere grown food is more likely to be less contaminated. No significant detections have been made in any locally grown food, that has been tested so far here, at our testing lab in Australia. Be careful of food products labelled "Made from Australian and imported ingredients".

Latest International reports of radioactive isotope contamination of food items


This is by no means a complete list. If you know of a reported detection that is not on this list please lets us know by posting a comment.


NOTE: A lot of food and environmental detection reports tend to concentrate on Cesium detection. This is because it is relatively easy to test for, and detect. If Cesium is present in a test result, there is a possibility that other types of radioactive isotopes are also present  but not reported. Fallout is a dirty mixture of isotopes. It is not just Cesium. Some of the other isotope contaminants particularly the dangerous Alpha emitters, need more specialized and expensive equipment  to detect their presence.


Ingested radiation from contaminated food or water, can radiate body cells with high doses of radiation for long periods of time. This means any ingestion of radioactive isotopes increases the risk to ones well being. Children, particularly girls, and pregnant women are far more sensitive to the effects of radiation. This very informative video, that is just 10 minutes long, discusses the damage very small amounts of Cesium can do to children. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9d3I3S99Dc&feature=player_embedded

Computer equipment used in the local community testing lab


This is what the testing equipment looks like set up on a computer, with the Beeresearch bias box "Gamma Spectacular" unit, plus scintillator. The scintillator is the tall silver tube. It is the scintillator that does the detection. They are very delicate and need to be handled with care.


more info here,


http://www.gammaspectacular.com/


To get the best testing results a scintillator needs to be set up in a lead shielded testing chamber. The unit used for testing is a 2' x 2' NaI  crystal scintillator, set up in a 15 mm thick lead shielded container.



Spectrometry Charts


For those interested in Spectrometry, here are some charted results using this equipment to test radioactive items, and mineral samples.

Black fungus material from Japan test chart I was sent this resin encapsulated sample of black fungus like material. It has reportedly come from somewhere in the Minamisoma area Japan. A contact in Japan sent a friend this sample. This is my test chart of it. For those of you who have not looked at a chart like this before. The position of the peaks in a the chart indicate what isotopes are present. This fungus started growing on the concrete, and rock surfaces in Japan after the Fukushima Nuclear disaster. It appears to be bio-accumulating Cesium.


Thorium Gas Mantle Here is a scintillator detector test chart of a Thorium gas mantle, showing the different gamma emitting radioactive isotopes present in it. This chart doesn't include lots of other Alpha emitting isotopes that are also in a Thorium gas mantle. Scintillator detectors, like the one used for this test, can't detect pure Alpha or Beta isotope emitters. Old Thorium mantles are highly radioactive, and in my opinion a radioactive dust hazard, particularly if they are in old packaging. Anyone who is not experienced in handling radioactive material should not purchase Thorium Mantles. I am amazed that they actually sold these to the public.

Radium clock dial chart This spectra was recorded in a lead shield chamber without a copper liner, or proper calibration,  hence the large secondary X-ray peak at approx 80 keV. The chart is of half a Radium clock dial. This is to demonstrate what the equipment can do, plus to show how radioactive this small piece of fashionable jewelry was. A lot of people who used it as jewelry, or who were employed to paint these dials, died from the exposer to this highly radioactive substance.

The Radium clock Dial, Uraninite, and Euxenite, samples were kindly loaned by enenews member, Spectrometising.


Uraninite sample Chart Spectra recorded with a copper liner. Uraninite is a Uranium rich mineral, it is most commonly known as pitchblende. It is very radioactive.  It was used here to calibrate the equipment.

Euxenite Y Chart  Spectra recorded in a lead shield chamber without a copper liner, hence the large secondary X-ray peak at approx 80 Kev.


Food Testing Results


Large numbers of Australia food items have been, and are still being tested continuously. Because we don't have the man hours to write a report for each tested food item, only items that have had relevant radioactive isotope detections are listed here.


Australian Banana and Strawberry Plant Mutation Report (16/06/2014)


Spirulina Detection  (24/03/2013)

Possibly a small amount of radioactive iodine 1-129 has been detected in 200 grams of Spirulina, purchased at the local super market. It was tested twice. The other candidate is lead isotope Pb-210. I am leaning towards iodine because the  X-ray peak at 30 Kev fits its profile.  It is a small amount and is close to the limits of what the equipment here can detect. It is possibly a false positive detection. At this point Spirulina products should be tested by others to confirm if there is  any contamination with fallout isotopes.


This raises a lot of questions, because a lot of people are taking this to protect themselves against radiation exposure. I take it myself. I can only say that the Spirulina product container we purchased showed very small trace amounts of contamination, other batches could be fine. We will test other batches over time.


If this is a I-129 detection, why would it appear by itself?

One theory put forward is that the Spirulina organism is bio-accumlulating Iodine.


Here is some information that has already been put forward in discussions on this subject.


"If you are detecting it, it isn't probably natural .... but will be Fukushima - and I-129 is probably at levels to be a health concern."


"I-129 is one of the 7 long-lived fission products that are produced in significant amounts. Its yield is 0.706% per fission (U-235).[8] Larger proportions of other iodine isotopes like 131I are produced, but because these all have short half-lives, iodine in cooled spent nuclear fuel consists of about 5/6 129I and 1/6 the only stable iodine isotope, 127I."


Spirulina update


The batch off Spirulina I tested had on the packaging, "Made in Australia from Imported ingredients". I was under the impression all Spirulina was produced in the Northern Hemisphere.  It has since been informed that an Australian company also produces Spirulina.

http://www.australianspirulina.com.au/


Cinnamon Detection (05/02/2013)


An 80 gram packet of Cinnamon imported from India, that was purchased in Australia, was found to have traces of Uranium isotope decay daughters in it. This is the second sample of Cinnamon that we have detected with isotope contamination. The other sample purchased last year was imported from Europe, and only had trace amounts of a single isotope.


This sample from India has multiple isotope peak signatures in it. This is probably from soil contamination during harvesting, processing, or root uptake. K40 is radioactive Potassium which is in every living thing, Pb-214 is radioactive lead, Bi-214 is radioactive Bismuth, and Ra-226 is Radium.


Bentonite Clay Chart


This is a test of imported Bentonite clay. People are consuming Bentonite clay to remove radioactive contamination from their bodies, and for other health benefits.


The chart is of a 625 gram sample of Bentonite Clay. The peaks on the far left in this chart up to the 88 keV mark, are not from the Bentonite clay, but secondary X-ray artifacts created from background Gamma radiation passing through the lead shielding of the testing chamber.


The peak on the far right at 1460 keV is radioactive Potassium, referred to as K40. This is caused from the radiative K40 in the wooden building I did the testing in. A very small amount of K40 is in Potassium Chloride which is in pretty much every living thing.


If you look at the red highlighted peaks in this chart, the peaks indicate the presence of radioactive Radium Ra-226, Lead Pb-214 and Bi-214. Also on testing, Zeolite, also has be found to contain radioactive isotopes.


Zeolite Chart


1 kg of Zeolite was tested in a lead and copper lined test chamber. The Zeolite test showed that it had radioactive Lead and Bismuth Isotopes in it as well. It was not as radioactive as the Bentonite clay.


All soils have radioactive isotopes in them. This is what creates a lot of normal background radiation. These isotopes are created from Uranium and Thorium decay, which are present in soils. Most clays will have some radioactivity in them. That is why background radiation levels in a brick and tile house, are greater than a wooden one.


The second green marker in the Zeolite chart marks the largest peak for radioactive Lead Pb-212, and the second blue marker is Bismuth Bi-214, found in the Zeolite test.


People are taking Zeolite and Bentonite clay to remove radioactivity from their bodies, when they already have radioactive isotopes in them. OK, they only take a small amount at a time, so maybe it doesn't matter? The benefits may out way the risks?


There is a big difference between using these items for environmental clean up or as a mud pack, to ingesting them. After testing and getting these results the big question are.

Is it a risk or an advantage to take these substances internally?


Do they actually remove radioactive contamination from a persons body as claimed?


Are the radioactive isotopes in them being absorbed when they pass through the digestive system?


It is generally agreed that consuming radioactive, or stable lead is not a good thing!


This type of testing only shows the radioactive isotopes that emit Gamma radiation in the samples. There may be stable lead and other heavy metal contamination also present.

After testing, I personally would not ingest these substances without a lot of further research, showing that they are actually doing something positive.


Bentonite Clay and Zeolite need further testing by others with this sort of equipment, to verify this. Note, samples mined from other locations may test differently.


Peaks in these charts are relative to the quantity of the samples used, plus the length of time the testing took. You will need to get an understanding of this to fully interpret the testing results from this equipment.


For instance, the peaks in the chart from the sample of radium on the clock dial that weighs a fraction of a gram, were very large. The Bentonite clay and Zeolite samples were 625 grams and 1 Kg. These are much larger test samples of material. They were also tested over a longer period of time. You need to take into account, time, distance and quantity, to make a proper assessment of the results. The radioactivity detected in the Bentonite clay and Zeolite samples were very much smaller than the radium clock dial!


Brazil Nuts Chart


Radioactive isotopes were found in Brazil nuts purchased at the local supermarket. See attached chart. The chart shows radioactive lead isotopes are present. The second green peak marker in the chart is at 241 keV and other peaks at 295, 351, are the markers for radioactive lead. Then the other largest peak is for Bismuth 214 at 609 etc. The large blue coloured peak is the secondary X-rays, a product of a test chamber not being lined with copper, and the smaller blue coloured peak is Potassium K40 in my natural background. These results suggest this contamination is not from Fukushima because of the presents of Bismuth 214.


Information on Brazil nuts.,


1. Brazil nut trees produce fruit almost exclusively in pristine forests.


2. The fruit takes 14 months to mature after pollination of the flowers.


3. Around 20,000 tons of Brazil nuts are harvested each year, of which Bolivia accounts for about 50%, Brazil 40% and Peru 10% (2000 estimates).


If I can detect radioactive Lead and Bismuth in Brazil nuts at these levels, it  suggests there must also be levels of stable lead present. I have taken Brazil nuts off my diet. If I had detected this in any other food, I would do the same.


It has been known for a long time that Brazil nut trees are bio-accumulating radium that can be found in most soils, because of their very deep root systems.


I was under the impression until I tested them, that the higher radioactivity in Brazil nuts was just caused by the extra concentration of natural occurring K40 in them like a Banana. It appears that it has been known for a long time that they also contained radioactive Lead and Bismuth.

Quote,


"It's believed Brazil nuts have 1,000 times more radium than the next most radioactive food. While extensive studies have yet to be conducted, the amount of radiation in a Brazil nut is still small when compared to radiation encountered in everyday life, and it's not believed to pose any serious health risk, regardless of the quantities ingested."


If I can detect radioactive Lead and Bismuth in Brazil nuts it also suggests there must also be levels of stable lead also present. Personal choice, I have taken Brazil nuts off my diet. If I had detected this isotopes at these levels in any other food I would do the same.

Brazil nuts need further testing by others with this sort of equipment, to verify this. Note, samples harvested from different locations may test differently.

Six month local background radiation level monitoring report, plus free Geiger Counter and DIY food testing lab guides

By Peter Daley · Comments (0)
Wednesday, August 1st, 2012

The overall local background radiation level monthly average has dropped gradually from 43% above average in January 2012 to near normal, 3% above in June. This is good news. There have been six significant radioactive cloud detections in that period locally. Even though the June monthly average dropped to near normal, two email alert advisories were issued in July to those on the club email alert list. For the full information on these events, go to the club monitoring site. You can easily be added to the email alert list by clicking on email registration link at the top of the page.

 

The club monitoring site is set up very scientifically. The local background radiation levels are recorded every 60 seconds. After 24 hours it is downloaded onto a computer and then turned into a chart. It a significant event has occurred that chart is posted on the club web site. The data in the daily chart is used to calculate the day average, which is also posted to the club web site. At the end of the month, a monthly average is then calculated and posted as a chart to the club web site.

 

 

There are also lots of tools provided at the club monitoring site.

https://sccc.org.au/archives/2630

 

All this effort provides a very detailed long term view of what is happening to local radiation levels. Also we have contact with other people in Australia and New Zealand, who have been using Geiger Counters for 4 years or longer, who provide details of any significant detections they record. This is also posted on the club web site as soon as these reports arrive.

 

All the local detections so far have happened when there have been tropical winds coming down the east coast of Australia, from the north or north east, off the Pacific Ocean. Detections have occurred during rain events, when it has been fine, during solar storms and when there have been no solar storm. So far detecting has consistently occurred when the wind has been coming from the tropics and from the north or north east off the Pacific Ocean, to our location.

 

When there is 5 times normal background detection or more, an email alert is sent to those on the club alert list. At these levels it is wise to stay out of the rain. This is particularly important for children. The monitoring is indoors, so if there is a detection of 5x or above, it means it is probably hotter outside.

 

At our location on the Sunshine Coast, our detections have been low compared to other detections around Australia and New Zealand. My advice to locals at present is to avoid northern pacific sea food, plus eat local grown food and restrict travel to Australia.

 

Do your own research and get up to speed on what is happening. This disaster is not over yet, and it is important to keep monitoring it. Club members are fortunate that they have a very detailed informative monitoring station that they can refer to for up to date information on local and southern hemisphere conditions. Our risk level here is still relatively low compared to a lot of other locations in the northern hemisphere, if you take the above suggested precautions.

 

These two free guides are now available for club members to use as a resource. They show you how to use a computer to record and test for radiation in the environment. Years ago it would have cost tens of thousands of dollars to set up this sort of environmental testing. Now using your personal computer, it can be done relatively cheaply. If you intend to travel overseas, or have friends in the path of the fallout from Fukushima, these two guides can be valuable resource. A lot of people in the northern hemisphere have made use of these guides. Why? Because the multiple damaged reactors and exposed fuel pools are still releasing large amounts of radiation every hour.

The technology to deal with the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster hasn’t been created yet!

By Peter Daley · Comments (3)
Wednesday, May 30th, 2012

 

The Japanese Government admitted in May 2011 that they had 14 Nuclear reactors that had been seriously damaged, not just the 4 at the Fukushima Nuclear disaster site.

 

Quote from page 1 of this Presentation:

 

"According to Japan’s Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency (NISA), the earthquake and subsequent tsunami affected fourteen nuclear reactors at four sites along the eastern coast the Fukushima Daiichi site (six reactors), Fukushima Daini site (four reactors), the Ongawa site (three reactors) and the Tokai site (one reactor). The most serious damage occurred at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station."

 

reactor one fallout map

 

Enenews article on this map

 

The former Japanese ambassador to Switzerland,  Ambassador Murata, recently wrote an open letter to the UN secretary general asking for International help in dealing with this disaster. He felt that the Japanese Government and TEPCO did not have the resources to deal with  it as urgently as necessary. The Fukushima nuclear disaster has a potential to seriously escalate into an even worse disaster. It is already many times worse than Chernobyl.

http://akiomatsumura.com/2012/04/682.html

 

He is not the only one calling for Japan to accept international help. US senator Ron Wyden. "Alarmed by the precarious nature of spent fuel storage during his recent tour of the Fukushima Daiichi site, Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon subsequently fired off letters to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Secretary of Energy Steven Chu, NRC Chairman Gregory Jaczko and Japanese ambassador to the U.S. Ichiro Fujisaki. He implored all parties to work together and with the international community to address this situation as swiftly as possible." He considers it a US national security issue.

http://www.alternet.org/health/155283/the_worst_yet_to_come_why_nuclear_experts_are_calling_fukushima_a_ticking_time-bomb?page=entire

 

The issue at present is spent fuel pool four, at Fukushima. It  has 1535 fuel assemblies sitting 30 meters off the ground, in a building that has been heavily damaged by an explosion, and is leaning. This fuel pools contain multiple nuclear reactor cores. To save money, the nuclear industry all over the world, is storing multiple old reactor cores in spent fuel cooling pools above working reactors. They are only supposed to store one or two old reactor cores in each pool, but they have been tightly packing multiple cores into the cooling pools. This is what makes the situation is at Fukushima very serious and urgent.

 

The experts are saying that  if fuel pool 4 collapses, or drains because of another earthquake, the resultant radiation released will be so great that workers and robots will not be able to enter the site to contain the resultant disaster. With the already 100% melted down reactors 1,2 and 3 in china syndrome, plus another large dry cast storage 50 meters away from this fuel pool, it has the potential to release an unprecedented amount of radiation into the Earth's Biosphere.

 

We already have a study just released, of the children living in Fukushima City. Fukushima City is outside of the "so called" exclusion zone. In this study, after 12 months of living there, they found 35% of the children under 18 had thyroid nodules. This is unprecedented and means these children where subjected to large exposures of radiation. At the beginning of this disaster all these children should have been evacuated!

Hiroaki Koide, a Nuclear Reactor Specialist and Assistant Professor at Kyoto University Research Reactor Institute, stated at a New York City press conference on May the 4th 2012, that 20,000 square kilometers of Japan should be evacuated, if Japan was to follow the law.

http://enenews.com/kyoto-professor-20000-square-kilometers-be-evacuated-japan-followed-law-illegal-radioactive-waste-completely-devoid-people-video

 

"While traveling in Japan several weeks ago, Fairewinds’ Arnie Gundersen took soil samples in Tokyo public parks, playgrounds, and rooftop gardens. All the samples would be considered nuclear waste, if found in the US. This level of contamination is currently being discovered throughout Japan."

http://www.fairewinds.com/content/tokyo-soil-samples-would-be-considered-nuclear-waste-us

 

For an overall summery of the seriousness of situation, I suggest you listen to this interview on Green Planet FM radio station. You can listen to the interview by clicking on the speaker icon at the top of the page. The interview starts after a bit of an introduction on synchronicity.

http://www.greenplanetfm.com/members/greenradio/blog/VIEW/00000001/00000193/Peter-Daley-on-the-Fukushima-Radiation-Cloud-over-Australia–NZ.html#00000193

 

It is important to understand that enormous amounts of radioactivity have been released, and is still being released into the environment, and that no one has the technology to deal with this type of disaster. The technology has not been created yet. Look at the club background radiation monitoring site for the latest local, and southern hemisphere radiation detection information. It is provided as a community service. http://www.sccc.org.au/archives/2630

 

Radiation bio-accumulates, particularly in meat, dairy and seafood, grown and harvested in radiation contaminated areas. Ingested radiation from contaminated food radiates body cells with high doses of radiation for long periods of time. Bio-accumulation of radiation in the food chain is probably the most serious threat to us living in the southern hemisphere at present. The Food Lab has the latest up to date International reports of radioactive food contamination.

 

It is important for your family's health and safety, that you take the time and effort, to research this subject.  In summary, for your family's  safety, only purchase food and goods from areas which are not contaminated. Research dietary systems that help remove, or protect your body from radioactive contamination. This could be important information in dealing with the extra radiation in our environment.

 

An Oncologist in Japan has been doing ongoing research on the Fukushima Nuclear Disaster site workers, and has found he is getting very good results with Liposomal Vitamin C. It appears to be healing a lot of radiation damage in their bodies. Liposomal Vitamin C is a combination of vitamin C and lecithin. This combination seems to improve the up take of vitamin C by 80%!  It maybe a good idea for you and your family to research taking this, to fortify against the effects of these radiation clouds coming through. He has been trying to encourage the Japanese government to educate their people about this treatment.
