“The rush to all things wireless” includes smart meters for every utility account in Glendale, wi-fi networks in schools, wireless routers for home networks, 4G Wi-Max networks planned for Los Angeles and other cities, and more. The title phrase was uttered by electrical engineer and brain cancer survivor Lloyd Morgan, interviewed in San Francisco on KPFA’s Your Own Health and Fitness just ahead of the wireless industry convention at Moscone Center.
The radio program “Industry-Censored Cell Phone Science” featured the new book Disconnect, and took a critical look at conventional wisdom that wireless technology is safe at radiofrequency emission levels set by the federal government.
Quotes from the interview:
“You have language that’s being expressed that the Interphone study is so confusing we can’t really find anything, so we’ll just have to wait for the next study. This is literally the spin machine of the industry working full time to hide the problem.”
“We’re living in a time which I call “the rush to all things wireless”, and it is utter madness. This is the greatest health experiment ever performed on humankind without informed consent. Every day you hear about a new technology, a new approach, and the total background radiation which organisms on this planet have never seen before is up a billionfold and more. Evolution has protected us against all sorts of things that existed naturally in the environment, but microwaves and all have never existed before. The U.S. government and the World Health Organization have declared the electricity field as a Class 2B carcinogen. We already have a finding that electromagnetic fields are a carcinogen yet we continue to roll out this new technology…”
