A supposed threat of terrorist attack from individuals purchasing pre-paid cell phones in bulk was the impetus for several arrests and investigations in the past week. In February and March, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security sent out joint bulletins alerting local police departments around the US that the profits from the resale of these untraceable phones could be used to finance terrorist organizations—or that the devices themselves could be used as detonators to trigger explosive attacks.
FOLLOWING an article in this newspaper last month regarding opposition to a mast at Coolock Garda Station, members of a campaign group have spoken out on the contentious issue. The Irish Electromagnetic Radiation Victims' Network (IERVN) campaigns on behalf of those who say they are affected by harmful emissions from masts. The group's aim is to help “victims” and create public awareness of the issue. Raheny resident, Con Colbert, a dedicated member of IERVN for a number of years, said that everyone in the group has “suffered ill health due to the presence of masts”.
Is the bell of your cell phone ringing danger? The innocuous looking cell phone is killing your brain cells every time it rings. This insidious killer constantly drags you closer to death, by causing cancerous growth in the brain every time we chat on mobile phones.
Cell phones have an invisible evil hidden inside known as electromagnetic radiations. These radiations include low frequency radio transmission, visible light, microwaves, X-rays etc. Though all electromagnetic radiations do not have a dangerous aspect to them like visible light, some of them can be really dangerous as they can be cancerous.
LYNN -- A proposal to place a cell phone tower atop a Lynn Shore Drive church was met with overwhelming criticism at a neighborhood meeting held this week, according to those in attendance.
The Christian Science Church, 153 Lynn Shore Drive, agreed to meet with neighbors Tuesday night before they formally submitted a proposal to the city to place a five to six foot tower on the building. The church was recently approached by Nextel about installing a tower, but would need City Council approval before it was erected.
MORE than 700 signatures have been gathered to try to stop a 10m high phone mast being erected in the heart of a picturesque residential area.
Residents sprang into action when they found out that T-Mobile was looking to put a mast outside the post office on Norton Road, Letchworth GC.
The phone company has not yet applied for planning permission, but has consulted local schools over the proposal, prompting residents to set up the Norton Road Area Conservation Group (NRACG).
