Wifi

[hiker]

This doesn't mean we shouldn't minimize our exposure to EM sources. As an example, here in the chateau, we did ditch the WiFi. The thick brick/stone walls also offer some protection from cell tower radiation, but we can still get a cellphone signal most places inside the house because there are lots of large windows that do nothing to attenuate the radio waves involved.

The building where I currently life is situated quite close to a ”smallish” cell tower, some 50 meters from my apartment’s kitchen/ living room windows. Luckily the tower is not directly visible from the windows, you have to go to the very edge of the window frame to catch a glimpse. In this area the radiation readings sporadically exceed 1900 microwatts/m2 (with the meter set to read ”peak” values). Otherwise the readings in the kitchen/ living room space range from a couple of hundred to 600 microwatts/m2, depending on the place. Thankfully in my bedroom, on the other side of the building, the readings are under 100 microwatts.

Regarding cell tower -side of the flat, I painted the wall facing the tower with a reflecting paint (YShield) and this seemed to bring down the radiation readings somewhat.

Next I’m planning to shield the windows with a protecting film, as such stuff seems to be available from the same manufacturer. It is quite pricey, but luckily the windows are small :)

I’ll report how the window shielding affects the situation.

A side note: I apologize I do not have the direct quote at hand, but I remember Pierre (or perhaps it was Mr. Scott) mentioning somewhere on the forum, that if the Electric Universe theory is correct it might not be a good idea to fully "insulate" your living quarters (paint every wall, ceiling, floor etc.), and "exclude" yourself from the Universe so to speak. Thus when shielding, handling the most worst affected surfaces might suffice.

Some people have actually reported that they have experienced a fully shielded room unusable, felt extreme discomfort when inside.

We had a whole room painted with Yshield, and I can no longer spend more than a minute or two in there now without extreme discomfort. It's literally unusable.

Yes, that's an important reminder. Thanks for sharing.
That type of paint should be used only in some obvious places to block high radiation.

C's mentioned Chateau room geometry being important. If you live in a concrete blockhouse - multiple stories, staircase, big cellar area then there are advantages, because of large volume of iron reinforced concrete walls meeting / overlapping themselves at certain places.

It is like a thick bunker wall - when you watch a blockhouse blueprint in 3D - concrete walls overlap in certain places multiple times, because of much house geometry involved.

I found that our bathroom has such multiple overlapping concrete wall cover - there feels to be less Wifi radiation, I can "breathe" easier in the way of EM-sense and usually go there just to relax and clear my thoughts. Best creative work ideas come to me there shielded better. So I'm profiting from the unique geometry of that place.

If I would be in your situ financially - able to afford protective paint - I would immediately look for a geo location far from the " ”smallish” cell tower," an apartment for rent with thick walls and higher natural blockers or high blockhouses in-between to block signals as much as possible. In a big city this is a lot more difficult than in a rural area. This is an advantage of rent: you can move when necessary.

Hello Lilies

C's mentioned Chateau room geometry being important. If you live in a concrete blockhouse - multiple stories, staircase, big cellar area then there are advantages, because of large volume of iron reinforced concrete walls meeting / overlapping themselves at certain places.

I doubt that the iron reinforcement of concrete walls does anything : it's far from being a real Faraday cage for GigaHertz EM waves !
_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage

Technically, to create a Faraday cage you can use a metallic grid, but the "mesh size"* shoud be significantly lower than the wavelength (which itself depends on the frequency) of EM waves you'd like to avoid. (* Disclaimer : I'm not sure that "mesh size" is the right technical term in English.)
_http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wavelength

For instance, for WiFi (f = 2.4 GHz = 2.4x10^9 Hz or s^-1), the wavelength is (c is light speed/celerity in the void) :
lambda = c / f = 3x10^8 m/s / 2.4x10^9 s^-1 = 0.125 m = 12.5 cm = 4.92 in

So you need a metallic grid with a mesh size around a few cm or one to two inch(es) to create an efficient Faraday cage for WiFi.

If you use a mosquito net in aluminium with a mesh size of 1 (or 2) mm to create a Faraday cage, you may block wavelengths up to around 100 GHz.

WiFi EM waves can go through concrete, but their power is indeed reduced.

But I live in an old house (built around 1700 !) with thick walls (> 50 cm) of stones and mortar, and it's not sufficient to block WiFi or cell phone signals from my neighbourhood (furthermore, windows are transparent to EM waves).

Yes, it would be best to relocate and lower the EMF radiation "naturally". At the moment I am somewhat stuck in the apartment, as I bought the place some time ago without realizing the close presence of the cell tower (it is well camouflaged amongst trees).

The bedroom is on the other side of the building, with several concrete walls between the tower and the room: here the radiation seems to be well under 100 microwatts/m2.

I'll try the window films on the other side of the flat, and if the readings drop considerably, I will probably stay put for a while, concentrating on diet etc. for protection, as mentioned by Mr. Scott.

But yes, relocating would be ideal in the long run.

There were some comments in "the mast-victims" -discussion, that people have experienced problems with shielding canopies (cloaking the bed) also. So excluding your body from the surrounding "electrical processes" might be an explanation for the discomforts felt by full blown shielding methods.

About cell towers: in some countries the positioning of cell towers seems to be at least somewhat regulated: in New Zealand they shouldn't be placed closer than 500m to houses, schools, hospitals, etc.

_http://www.parliament.nz/resource/0000103298

Just found this: it appears that people living within 50-300m radius from the cell tower are in the high radiation zone:

Propagation of "main beam“ from antenna mounted on a tower or roof top

People living within 50 to 300 meter radius are in the high radiation zone (dark blue) and are more prone to ill-effects of electromagnetic radiation

_http://www.academia.edu/6343256/CELL_TOWER_RADIATION_HAZARDS_AND_SOLUTIONS

So in my case, with the apartment situated on the 50m border and being in the first floor (closer to ground in relation to the higher up cell tower), I might actually "dodge the bullet" a little. If my apartment was in the second or third floor, and/or further away from the tower, the radiation amounts might be a lot bigger.

 

[LQB]

Most high frequency communications EMF radiation is entirely new to the earth environment and most of the well-performed studies show detrimental effects for humans, animals (and probably plants).

The natural low frequency EMF are excited by electrical phenomena (lightning/etc) in which the EMF are supported by the earth/ionosphere waveguide. These are in the freq range of 1-50Hz - far below the comm signals. This low freq range is the same as human/animal EEG range and suggests an evolutionary adaptation. Variations in this freq range (solar electrical storms) have been shown to affect human health. There is no way to block this low freq magnetic field short of massive amounts of magnetized material or active (powered) ferrites.

The DC mag field can be blocked/altered with large amounts of iron, but, even in my home with iron rebar on 1 foot centers (in all sides), I can still get good compass readings (although more sensitive) in open areas away from the walls. In this home, cell phones can make a marginal connection if brought to a window. If the indoor metallized shades are lowered, no cell phone can close with any tower.

A concrete wall with rebar on 1 foot centers will do very well against the high freq RF - at the point where the rebar grid gives way to higher freq RF, a foot thick concrete picks up with much attenuation. But the reflective paint or fine meshes will shield most of the high freq (assuming you work the windows).

The truthful scientific consensus is that cell radiation - particularly close to towers - is bad for health. But Milham (author of Dirty Electricity) maintains that noisy grid power in the vicinity is worse for homes that share the local grid with the tower. The cell tower uses a massive amount of digital electronics, and must convert a lot of grid AC power to DC power, creating large amounts of noise/harmonics that get back on the grid (and distributed to all grid users). This energy couples to objects/people in the home, and for frequencies greater than about 2KHz, this energy penetrates the flesh. It is postulated that this effects mitochondrial function and can lead to chronic disease/cancer for long term exposure. So, if you're close to a cell tower, there may be more to think about.

There is much more info on all of this here: http://cassiopaea.org/forum/index.php/topic,28280.msg351450.html#msg351450

 

[hiker]

Thank your for your post LQB, I will read the thread you linked. I'll also have to look into the tower affecting the grid power.

Moving out would be the thing to do eventually. In some countries, the locations of cell towers seem to be public knowledge, so one can plan ahead when choosing a new home. Unfortunately not in my country, so some "fieldwork", radiation measurements and charting the terrain, will have to be done by the mover.

There were some comments in "the mast-victims" -discussion, that people have experienced problems with shielding canopies (cloaking the bed) also. So excluding your body from the surrounding "electrical processes" might be an explanation for the discomforts felt by full blown shielding methods.

I think some experiments have been done on this which confirmed that "electromagnetic isolation" has a profound impact on humans. It was mentioned in the documentary "Beings of frequency", which btw. is really interesting and discusses many aspects of the health problems associated with modern wireless networks.

Thank you for the link, very interesting documentary and to hear about Wever’s bunker experiment.

So the ”electrical tension” (frequency) between earth’s surface and the ionosphere, 7,83 Hz (Schumann resonance), matches with the electrical frequency transmitted by the brain (and suggests there has been an evolutionary adaptation as mentioned by LQB).

Regarding Wever’s experiment: as the bunker was underground, Schumann resonance was filtered out. Pyhysical and mental health of the participants residing in the bunker suffered until a 7,83 Hz resonance was re-introduced by a magnetic pulse generator: the ailments ameliorated or were improved.

(Makes one wonder if this has been taken into consideration regarding the possible underground bases of the elites. Probably, but then again hopefully not )

In the documentary they ask the fascinating question: ”ever wondered why going outside makes you feel so good”? Come to think of it, it really does, and looks like there’s more to it than just getting some fresh air.

Perhaps being indoors (above ground) doesn’t filter fully the Schumann resonance, but ”dims” the connection sligthly? Perhaps other electromagnetic factors play a part too, with the human-universe EM connection possibly ”weakening” when indoors (the situation worsening with shielding methods)... Just some thoughts.

There’s a nice summary on Colin Ross’s website:

Human beings evolved in the electromagnetic (EM) field of the earth, constantly bathed in EM signals from the earth, sun, and organisms in the biosphere. This is not just background noise. Our body processes are controlled not just at the chemical and biological levels but at the EM level. There is a great deal of signaling inside the body at the EM level, and between the body and the external environment. There is information in these EM signals, just as there are in cell phone and radio signals.

FCC OKs $5 BEEELLION Wi-Fi cash splash in schools, libraries

Five billion dollars will be used to fund Wi-Fi networks in US schools and libraries after the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) passed an overhaul of the E-rate program.

The commission issued an order that will pour $2bn of additional funds into E-rate over the next two years for the purpose of installing and upgrading wireless networks, with another $3bn in funds to be handed out over the following three years.

The order will also dictate an overhaul to the existing E-rate program. A portion of the US Universal Service Fund, E-Rate has, since 1996, provided funds for internet connectivity in public schools and libraries.

Overhauling the program has been a pet project of FCC Commissioner Tom Wheeler, who has argued that the system is behind the times, and that it earmarks money for dated technologies and systems while not adequately accounting for wireless networking demands.

"While E-rate over its 18-year life has succeeded in connecting virtually all schools and libraries to the Internet, it is not currently geared for today's world of interactive, individualized digital learning," the FCC said in announcing the order.

"By continuing to support broadband connectivity to the building while significantly expanding support for robust Wi-Fi networks within classrooms and libraries, the FCC's reforms can deliver the benefits of customized learning to students over tablets and laptops and enable library patrons to fully participate in today's digital world."

The commission estimates that the new E-rate will expand Wi-Fi coverage to 10 million new students by the end of next year. ®

The FCC is overhauling how it subsidizes WiFi for schools and libraries

Regulators have just approved a big package of federal aid for schools and libraries so that they can upgrade their WiFi networks, as part of a larger effort to modernize the way educators connect their charges to the Web.

In a 3-2 vote along party lines Friday, the FCC greenlit a plan to spend $2 billion over the next two years on subsidies for internal networks. The move also begins a process to phase out some subsidies under the federal program, known as E-Rate, for services and equipment that are on the decline, such as pagers and dial-up Internet service.

"No responsible business would stick with an IT plan developed in 1998," said FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler. "We owe the same rigorous self-examination to our schools and libraries."

The original plan called for spending $5 billion on WiFi over five years, in line with a push by the Obama administration to bring next-gen broadband and WiFi to 99 percent of students over the same period. Those funds would have partly come from savings as a result of transitioning away from supporting legacy technologies.

The proposal would also have eliminated an existing requirement that E-Rate funds be spent first on broadband services before being applied to WiFi. In past years, the cost of broadband service meant that money was rarely left over for upgrading WiFi connections.

But the FCC's proposal was ultimately scaled back late Thursday amid Republican objections that the E-Rate program can't afford the changes. The final proposal's two-year, $2 billion commitment accounts for the money the FCC has already set aside for WiFi upgrades, but it does not commit the FCC to funding WiFi upgrades at that same rate for the following three years.

Earlier this week, talks broke down between the commission's Democrats, some of whom want the program dramatically expanded, and its Republicans, who've warned that the $5 billion-over-five-years plan would eat into funding for broadband subsidies.

"The numbers for the WiFi plan just didn't add up and would've blown a $2.7 billion hole in E-Rate's budget, slashing funds for Internet connectivity," said Commissioner Ajit Pai. Pai criticized the finalized order as a half-measure, saying it does little to simplify the drawn-out E-Rate application process that's been the source of some delays.

The commission's other Republican, Michael O'Rielly, has called for matching any increases in E-Rate spending with reductions elsewhere. On Friday, O'Rielly warned that the FCC's plan could lead to "a funding cliff for schools and libraries, or higher phone rates" for taxpayers, who pay into the E-Rate program through a line item on their phone bills.

Democrats such as Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel not only want to see more money allocated to WiFi within E-Rate, but also for E-Rate to receive greater annual funding overall. The program is currently capped at roughly $2.4 billion a year — which is little changed from when the E-Rate program was created in the mid-1990s — but according to the FCC, demand for E-Rate funds is about double that figure.

"We can’t expect to compete if we educate the next generation with a support system frozen in the age of dial-up," said Rosenworcel.

Wheeler vowed to consider lifting the cap on E-Rate's budget, but said that changes to the program's structure would have to come first.

"Let me be clear: It would be a mistake to simply add money to a program that was set in the 20th century," Wheeler said.

The Cassiopaeans have suggested that wearing silk can protect against various forms of electromagnetic (EM) radiation, but I'm not aware of anyone who's located science to back this up, nor whether such science exists--though apparently alchemists were fond of silk as well. I think the Cs specified mulberry silk.

This brings to mind a piece of advice I was given by my yogi that seems related.

Within yoga there are meditations that increase accessibility to the subtler bodies. During such meditations the body should not be in contact with anything metallic or electrically conducting material. If so, the body can be shielded by using either silk or wool.

A starting hypothesis could be that there are some sort of field shielding properties in textiles woven from fabric that come from living beings (sheep, silk worms).

But it may not be the fabric alone but also the geometry involved in the weaving that creates the shielding effect. I wonder whether sheep would as affected as other animals or by testing if there's a difference when wearing woven wool compared to just clumps of wool like when it's on the living sheep.
