The Pulsed Microwave Radar Tower and the Cell – The Role of Calcium

WSR88DI consider all of our new pulsed 3G & 4G cell towers the little cousins of our big pulsed Doppler Microwave Radar Towers.  Since Doppler radar towers pulse at similar low frequencies (800 Hz – 1 kHz), with 20 to 30 times the power (~500,000 to 6,000,000 watts each pulse, 2-6 GHz carrier wave) and the fact the radiation gets “scattered” off the overhead atmosphere back to Earth & waterways, more so during storms, makes them very dangerous, especially when our dumbass government puts 15 or 20 radars in the same location, like in Kauai, HI or Melbourne, FL. That is why all of the calcium based sea-life along the coastlines are all suffering badly, including coral reefs, sea stars, sea urchins and lobsters, all around Doppler microwave radar towers and areas of high concentrations of RF/microwave/cellular frequencies. Not to mention the rest of the marine life.  They tell us they are “low average power” when it fact they are astronomically high pulsed power.  Read below and you will see it is the low frequency pulses doing the damage.

The Cell Phone and the Cell – the Role of Calcium

Parent Category: Health

Electromagnetic fields have effects at the cell level

Weak non-ionizing radiation, such as that from mobile (cell) phones has biological effects, ranging from changes in brain function to the exacerbation of allergies and the induction and promotion of cancer. There have been many attempts to find the mechanisms and hundreds of scientific papers have been written about the changes they cause in the physiology and biochemistry of a wide range of living organisms (www.bioinitiative.org ). These include plants, animals and even single cells such as yeast and diatoms. This means that least some of the effects must be occurring at the level of individual cells. There is more than one mechanism, but the one I will discuss here is the electromagnetic removal of calcium ions (Coral reef skeletons are made of calcium carbonate) from cell membranes, which makes them become porous and leak. This simple observation can explain almost all of the known biological effects of weak electromagnetic radiation (Goldsworthy 2007).

Our bodies make good antennas (salt water waves breaking over a reef also make good antennas, collecting EMF)

The biological effects of electromagnetic radiation probably begin with the organism acting like the antenna of a radio. The radiation generates eddy currents flowing through it and (in the case of cell cultures) also through the surrounding medium. When they impinge on the delicate membranes that surround its individual cells, they disturb their ionic structure and destabilise them. The same is true of the membranes that divide cells into their various internal compartments and organelles.

The human body makes a good antenna since blood vessels, which are low resistance pathways filled with a highly conductive salty fluid, connect virtually all of its parts. Even cell membranes, which have a high resistance to DC, allow radio-frequencies through because of their high capacitance. So when you use a mobile phone, its signal will be transmitted to all parts of your body; nowhere is safe.

Radiation increases membrane permeability

Many scientific studies suggest that the first effect of the eddy currents is to generate small alternating voltages across the cell membranes, which increase their permeability. This can have serious metabolic consequences as unwanted substances diffuse into and out of cells unhindered, and materials in different parts of the cell, that should be kept separate, become mixed. But how do these tiny alternating voltages increase membrane permeability?

The answer lies in their ability to remove calcium ions from the membrane surface. We have known since the work of Suzanne Bawin and her co-workers (Bawin et al. 1975) that electromagnetic radiation that is far too weak to cause significant heating can nevertheless remove radioactively labelled calcium ions from cell membranes. Later, Carl Blackman showed that this occurs only with weak radiation, and then only within one or more “amplitude windows“, above and below which there is little or no effect (Blackman et al. 1982; Blackman 1990).

How weak fields remove calcium ions from membranes

Calcium ions are positively charged calcium atoms. Free calcium ions normally occur in calcium salts but, like other positive ions, they can also bind to the negatively charged membranes of living cells. These membrane-bound ions are in chemical equilibrium with the corresponding free ions in the surrounding medium, but there is a disproportionately large amount of calcium because it has two positive charges (i.e. it is divalent), which attracts it more strongly to the negative membrane. Most of the other readily available ions in living cells (e.g. potassium) have only one charge (i.e. they are monovalent). However, the extra charges on the divalent ions such as calcium and magnesium are literally their undoing. They let weak alternating electromagnetic fields remove them selectively from the membrane, which can have dire metabolic consequences.

Frequency effects

If they are to remove calcium in this way, the fields must be alternating. Low frequencies work best because they allow more time for dislodged calcium ions to diffuse clear of the cell membrane and be replaced by different ions, before the field reverses. Pulses are more effective than smooth sine waves because their rapid rise and fall times catapult the ions quickly away from the membrane and leave even more time for them to be replaced by different ions before the field reverses. This is probably why the pulsed radiation from mobile phones can be particularly damaging.

xflare_strip

X-FLARE: Earth-orbiting satellites have just detected a powerful X1.6-class solar flare (Sept. 10 @ 17:46 UT). The source was active sunspot AR2158, which is directly facing Earth. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded the extreme ultraviolet flash: Ionizing radiation from the flare could cause HF radio blackouts and other communications disturbances, especially on the day-lit side of Earth. In the next few hours, when coronagraph data from SOHO and STEREO become available, we will see if a CME emerges from the blast site. If so, the cloud would likely be aimed directly at Earth and could reach our planet in 2 to 3 days. Stay tuned for updates about geomagnetic storms in the offing. Aurora alerts: text, voice

Kona, HI

[OK First the Bad News]Three years ago the coral reef in Hanalei Bay under the surf spot called “the bowl” looked healthy and there were over 23 giant old growth mound corals covering the reef!! It was beautiful to look at and these corals were over 200 years old and some weighed over a ton! These corals made the wave hollow and the waves great to surf on!! Today these old growth mound corals are almost all dead and dissolving into mud! What caused this massive destruction in a few short years? Do the rest of the reefs in Hawaii look like this?

 
The Hanalei and north shore of Kauai reefs have been bombarded by the Navy’s use of electronic warfare. Sonar blast and and high intensity microwaves. Plus the reefs at Hanalei are flooded with mud and toxins flowing out of the river and creek due to failed wetland digging projects. All of this has killed the reef!!
 
[Now the Good News!] On the other hand the reefs along the Kona Coast of Hawaii are in great shape compared to Kauai north shore reefs! I shot detailed video of the reefs along the Kona Coast three years ago and I am now here in Kona shooting video of the very same reefs to see if they have died like the Hanalei Reefs! They have not and the corals here are just beautiful.
 
Here are some pictures out of my video and also some that Pamela Whitman shot yesterday of the reefs near Kailua Kona. Notice the entire reef is covered with live coral. The big beautiful mound corals are solid golden color without any disease or dissolving like the Kauai corals. There are lots of fish, urchins and other coral reef creatures. I added in three of the corals that are diseased and dissolving right now in Hanalei Bay for comparison. Can you tell the difference?

Kona, HI

1800 years ago when the first people from Tahiti set eyes on Hawaii and saw the flowing volcano’s making new reefs they new they had arrived at a magical and special place in the middle of the Pacific. Corals that started to grow 1800 years ago are still alive today on the Big Island but the corals that were growing in Hanalei Bay have almost all been killed!! Same with the entire north shore of Kauai!

 
Here is a beautiful painting of what the first voyage to Hawaii may have looked like. Right below the canoe were new baby corals, still alive today on some Hawaiian reefs but not others. Have we no respect for these old growth corals and the people who first set eyes on them? Will we just continue to sit back and watch our coral reefs here on the north shore of Kauai fade away on a daily basis when we have the ability to stop this massive destruction of our sacred reefs?

P.S. (From Me)  Now guys, if it were “Climate Change” or “Ocean Acidification” or “Over Fishing” or some other useless excuse because “I can’t think of anything better but I need to make it sound good so they know I spent my grant money well” reason for the Kauai Reef dissolving right below the approx. 30 million watts of pulsed microwave radars than how come Kona, Hawaii reefs are doing FINE ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Only Thing I Can Think of at the Moment…

Connect The Dots

On January 29, 1932, stuntman J.D. Pate attempted to inaugurate KRKD’s new transmitter atop Downtown’s Spring Arcade building in a most impressive fashion, swinging out onto the antenna wire stretched between the 200-foot-tall towers.

As the Goodyear blimp Volunteer hovered overhead, Pate gingerly felt his way onto the cable, stretched 390 feet above the ground.

Nearly 80 years later, the twin towers still stand in the Historic Core, though few Downtown residents are likely to be familiar with the call letters they carry.

KRKD came to life in 1932 as the former KMIC (operating on “1150 kilocycles”) relocated its transmitter and studios from Inglewood to Downtown L.A.

 

Bunker Hill LA Polio Outbreak

 

1934 Polio SC

Poliomyelitis is caused by infection with a member of the genus Enterovirus known as poliovirus (PV). This group of RNA viruses colonize the gastrointestinal tract[1] Source

What is Enterovirus 68, the mysterious illness that may be sickening hundreds of children?

The culprit is believed to be Enterovirus 68 (also known as EVD-68 or Eentrovirus D68), a fairly rare viral infection that can cause symptoms such as coughing, wheezing and low blood oxygen levels (also known as hypoxemia). In some cases, however, the symptoms can be severe — particularly for children who already suffer from asthma or other respiratory problems.

Quite Possibly

polioIn 1916, De Forest, from experimental radio station 2XG in New York City, broadcast the first radio advertisements (for his own products) and the first Presidential election report by radio in November 1916 for Charles Evans Hughes and Woodrow Wilson. A few months later, DeForest moved his tube transmitter to Highbridge, Bronx.[13] Like Charles Herrold in San Jose, California,—who had been broadcasting since 1909 with call letters “FN,” “SJN,” and then “6XF”—De Forest had a license from the Department of Commerce for an experimental radio station, but, like Herrold, had to cease all broadcasting when the U.S. entered World War I in April 1917. From April 1920 to November 1921, DeForest broadcast from station 6XC at the California Theater at Market and Fourth Streets in San Francisco. In late 1921, 6XC moved its transmitter to Ocean View Drive in the Rockridge section of Oakland, California, and became KZY.[14][15]

In 1916, New York City experienced the first large epidemic of polio, with over 9,000 cases and 2,343 deaths. The 1916 toll nationwide was 27,000 cases and 6,000 deaths. Epidemics worsened during the century: in 1952, a record 57,628 cases of polio were reported in the United States.

Conrad first became interested in radio in 1912 when, in order to settle a bet on the accuracy of a watch, Conrad built a radio in order to hear time signals from the Arlington, Virginia Naval Observatory. He then constructed, in his garage, a new transmitter, licensed in 1916 as 8XK, whose signal could be heard throughout the Pittsburgh area. In response to popular demand, Conrad began broadcasting for two hours each Wednesday and Saturday night. When all civilian amateur radio operations ceased in 1917, Conrad began using his radio for military purposes during World War I.

In 1916, schoolchildren in Bucks and Montgomery counties [Pennsylvania] had an extra month of summer vacation, but little chance to enjoy it. A polio epidemic that began in New York City in May had spread to Pennsylvania and other mid-Atlantic states by August. There was no vaccine against polio, an infectious virus also called infantile paralysis. It commonly resulted in a withered or stunted limb, and in severe cases, it could leave a child or adult permanently paralyzed or dead.

Polio occurred primarily in July, August, and September and hit regardless of geographic region, economic status, or population density. Relatively few people showed any symptoms and even fewer died or experienced paralysis, but the physical effects were dramatic. Communities reacted with dread because no one understood how or why people got it, and because children were the most frequently affected.

A Now for a Quick Weather Update…

9-6-14 Florida

An intense band of scattered, pulsed microwave radiation is sweeping across the State today.  On the Gulf coast you can expect more ionized plasma discharges from the atmosphere along with an increase in fish kills due to hypoxia and disease from increased electromagnetic discharge into the shallow, conductive salt waterways.  Ongoing algae blooms will persist and intensify due to the temporary increase in reflected electromagnetic radiation from pulsed radars.  Inland, you can expect an increase in sinkhole activity around pulsed microwave, radio/TV and cellular towers due to the electromagnetic radiation gradually dissolving the surrounding limestone (CaCO3) surface of Florida until the weakest areas collapse into the aquifer below. Further inland you can expect an increase in citrus canker and ongoing citrus greening due to electromagnetic energy grounding out through the citrus trees, which, due to their low pH and lots of leaves for surface area, makes them great antennas.  As we reach the East coast, you can expect an increase in shocked and drowned mammals in the Indian River Lagoon due to the cumulative effect of the 17 high powered pulsed radars reflecting and scattering off the overhead hydrometeors (precipitation stuff) in that area of the State.  You can also expect accelerated tumor growth in the other wildlife in the area. Any animals near the surface of the lagoon, where the electromagnetic discharge is greatest, such as pelicans, dolphins and manatee are at greater risk.  As we move offshore, an increase in waterspout activity along with continued diseased and dissolving coral reefs are expected.

Oh yeah, and you can expect a little rain.

Enjoy your weekend!
