⚠ WIRELESS RADIATION HEALTH RISK! ⚠

Chapter One – The Silence That Made Life Possible, and the 140-Year Mistake That Shattered It

The Goldilocks Layers of Existence

When most people hear the phrase “Goldilocks zone,” they think of astronomy — that delicate distance from a star where a planet is not too hot, not too cold, and water can exist in liquid form. That’s the planetary Goldilocks zone, and it’s critical for life as we know it.

But zoom out, and you find there’s also a galactic Goldilocks zone — the safe swath of a galaxy far enough from its violent center to avoid sterilizing radiation, yet close enough to have the heavy elements necessary for rocky planets.

And then, zoom in — past continents, past oceans, past the skin — and you find a third, rarely spoken-of zone: the cellular Goldilocks zone.
This one isn’t defined by temperature or distance. It’s defined by the electromagnetic quiet in which our cells learned to talk to each other.

This quiet was shaped by the ionosphere — that shimmering shell of charged particles surrounding the Earth — and the cavity between it and the ground. For billions of years, it kept the planet’s surface relatively free from high-powered, man-made electromagnetic noise. It was a silent amphitheater where the bioelectric orchestra of life could play without static.

That silence allowed high-fidelity bioelectric communication: voltage gradients across cell membranes, resonance patterns within DNA, synchronized firing in neural tissue. This is the unseen language of life. Break its clarity, and you break the blueprint of health.

For billions of years, nothing disturbed it.

Until about 140 years ago.

The Day the Static Began

When Heinrich Hertz proved James Clerk Maxwell’s theory of electromagnetic waves in the late 1880s, he opened a door humanity could never close. His experiments became the foundation for wireless communication. But they may also have been the first signal that this technology carried an invisible cost.

Hertz was a robust, healthy man at 29. Within five years, he was incapacitated. By 36, he was dead — from granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), a rare autoimmune disease that was virtually unknown in his time.

GPA wasn’t formally recognized or named until the 1930s — and where did those first diagnoses appear? In Germany, in the same general region Hertz had lived and worked. By then, the landscape had changed: multiple 500,000+ kilowatt transmitters had been installed, some even more powerful, bathing entire regions in levels of electromagnetic radiation that nature had never prepared biology to handle.

This wasn’t coincidence. It was geography.

The first known GPA clusters overlapped with the densest concentrations of early longwave and mediumwave broadcast transmitters — many of them government or military installations. And GPA wasn’t alone. Alzheimer’s, too — a condition first described in Germany in 1906 — began appearing in greater numbers around these transmission hubs. Both diseases would later be found worldwide as transmitter networks spread.

Before the public airwaves, there was already military RF experimentation. Naval stations, army communication tests, covert research in the years before and after World War I — all introducing unprecedented electromagnetic fields into communities that had, until then, lived in the planetary equivalent of a library reading room. Now, they lived next to an air raid siren that never shut off.

The 140-Year Mistake

This is not just an historical curiosity. It is the origin point of a 140-year mistake — the belief that because electromagnetic radiation at certain frequencies does not heat tissue, it is biologically harmless.

That idea has been the guiding dogma of regulatory agencies ever since. It is as wrong as the geocentric universe — and just as stubbornly defended by those whose power and profit depend on the status quo.

The Catholic Church in Galileo’s day refused to admit the Earth wasn’t the center of the cosmos. Today, corporate telecoms and their captured regulators refuse to admit that non-thermal RF effects are real — even as the preponderance of evidence piles high enough to blot out the sun.

And the cost? It’s been externalized onto the public in the form of disease, disability, and death — invisible line items in the balance sheets of convenience.

I know this cost personally. I lost a kidney as a child living on a military base under radar. I lost my firstborn daughter to a neural tube defect — two years before a study showed a 300% increase in such defects in chicken embryos exposed to microwaves. My life’s work since has been uncovering and connecting the dots that the industry insists on erasing.

 The Evidence That Cannot Be Unseen

Today, we no longer have the luxury of saying “the science isn’t settled.” In 2025, even the World Health Organization — long a master at downplaying RF risk — upgraded key findings in its commissioned systematic reviews:

That is the scientific equivalent of a jury returning a unanimous guilty verdict — and the defense no longer having grounds for appeal.

And yet, the FCC clings to limits written in the 1980s, based only on thermal heating, ignoring decades of peer-reviewed studies showing DNA breaks, oxidative stress, reproductive harm, neurodevelopmental changes, and altered brain metabolism — all at intensities millions of times lower than the point where heating occurs.

The Moral Question

How many more children will be sacrificed for corporate profit?

How many more diseases will be labeled “idiopathic” — medical shorthand for “we refuse to look at the cause” — while the wireless buildout accelerates?

This is not about opposing technology. It is about ending the forced, high-power, continuous microwave saturation of our living spaces — and replacing it with safer, faster, cleaner photonic systems. The science exists. The engineering exists. What’s missing is the will to challenge a century-old mistake.

We must face the truth: Anyone with their eyes open can see that this mistake was deadly from the start. The regulatory stalemate is not science — it’s politics. And just like the church’s resistance to heliocentrism, it will collapse when enough people demand the truth.

The only question is: how many more lives will be lost before that happens?

Chapter Two – When the Towers Rose: Mapping Disease in the Age of High Power

The Great Silence Ends

In the early 1900s, the air changed. Not in temperature, but in texture.
Invisible fields began to hum over cities and countryside, emanating from enormous steel masts and latticework towers.

At first, these were military tools — the German Navy’s longwave stations, capable of communicating with ships thousands of miles away. Power levels were staggering for the time: hundreds of kilowatts, with some installations exceeding 500,000 watts by the 1920s. Eventually, the Soviet Union and Britain built transmitters pushing past the million-watt mark.

When these stations lit up, they didn’t just carry Morse code. They flooded entire regions with a constant electromagnetic background far beyond anything life on Earth had experienced in its evolutionary history.

The Civilian-Military Crossover

Military communications weren’t the only culprit. By the 1920s, civilian broadcasting exploded.
Germany, Britain, the United States — all raced to blanket their populations in radio coverage.

The lines between military and civilian transmission blurred. Antennas designed for fleet coordination also carried national broadcasts. War-tested frequencies became peacetime staples. The public was told it was “progress.” No one was told what it might cost.

The First Geographic Clues

By the 1930s, physicians in Germany began describing a strange, devastating illness: granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA).
It was not widespread. It appeared in clusters.

Where were those clusters? In the same regions where high-powered transmitters had been operating for over a decade — Berlin, Hamburg, the Nauen region, other RF-dense areas of industrial Germany.

And GPA wasn’t alone. The first recognized case of Alzheimer’s disease was described in 1906 by Alois Alzheimer in Munich — itself a city with early transmitter infrastructure and high electrical field density. In the decades that followed, Alzheimer’s diagnoses, still rare, were disproportionately recorded in urban centers with heavy RF footprints.

These weren’t “coincidences.” They were patterns. And as transmitter density spread, so did the patterns — following the masts like shadows.

The Global Echo

Germany was the first epicenter, but it was not the last.

The Data We Never Got

Here’s the grim truth: the full early epidemiological record is gone. Not because it never existed, but because no one in power wanted it kept.

What we have now are fragments — scattered case studies, local physician reports, archived government memos — enough to see the outlines of a much larger story, one in which the first widespread introduction of man-made RF fields into the biosphere coincided with the emergence of diseases previously unknown or vanishingly rare.

The Forgotten Warnings

It wasn’t as if no one noticed.

A handful of doctors and scientists in the interwar years speculated that there might be a connection between the strange illnesses they were seeing and the new “wireless age.” But these voices were drowned out by a tidal wave of industry propaganda, wartime patriotism, and technological optimism.

The thinking was simple — and fatally flawed:
“If it doesn’t cook you, it can’t hurt you.”

That assumption became the foundation for all future RF safety guidelines — a foundation built on sand.

The Continuum to Today

What began with a few towers in Europe and North America is now an unbroken web of RF sources encasing the planet.
What was once rare and geographically confined — GPA, Alzheimer’s, certain cancers — is now global. The exposures that were once localized to a few square miles now blanket continents.

The industry line hasn’t changed since the 1920s.
The only thing that’s changed is the scale.

Chapter Three – How a False Safety Standard Was Written in Stone

From Towers to Radars: The Postwar Surge

World War II didn’t just reshape borders — it supercharged the world’s RF exposure.
Radar, once experimental, became a battlefield necessity. By the war’s end, tens of thousands of servicemen had worked directly with high-powered microwave systems. Ships bristled with rotating radar dishes. Coastal stations pounded out pulses day and night.

When radar came home, it didn’t go away.
Airports, weather stations, military bases — all kept their systems running, and the technology rapidly moved into civilian applications. Early air traffic control towers were as much microwave transmitters as they were navigation aids.

The power levels of these systems were staggering, especially in the early days when efficiency was low and peak pulses could reach hundreds of kilowatts. There were no public safety guidelines — only the assumption that as long as exposures were below levels that caused immediate burns, they were safe.

That assumption became the entire basis for what would follow.

The Birth of the “Thermal-Only” Dogma

By the late 1940s, military medical divisions had begun noticing patterns: radar operators with headaches, fatigue, memory problems, even cataracts.
Reports circulated internally. Some scientists suggested that biological effects were occurring well below heating thresholds.

But military command — and later, industry — saw the danger in admitting that.
If low-level effects were acknowledged, it would mean the entire operational model of radar, and later wireless communications, could be challenged.

So they did something simpler: they drew the line at heating.

If it didn’t raise tissue temperature by 1°C, they said, it was safe.

That line — unscientific and arbitrary — would be carried forward for decades. It ignored DNA damage, oxidative stress, neurological impacts, reproductive harm — all the things we now know occur at intensities far below heating thresholds.

1980s: The Wireless Explosion

The 1980s brought cordless phones, early cell networks, and the first mass consumer exposure to personal, portable microwave emitters.

Industry safety testing still used the same thermal-only model devised in the radar era. It was never updated to reflect decades of research showing non-thermal effects — research that by then included:

The industry response was always the same: fund studies designed to fail, spin or bury the ones that found harm, and claim “no established evidence” while actively ensuring none could be “established.”

1996: The Lockdown

If there was a single year when the door slammed shut on public health protection, it was 1996.

Two events converged:

  1. Telecommunications Act of 1996 – Section 704 made it illegal for state or local governments to consider environmental health effects when regulating the placement of cell towers.
    Translation: even if your town had proof a tower was making people sick, you couldn’t use that in zoning decisions.

  2. FCC Guidelines Adoption – The FCC adopted exposure limits based on the 1980s thermal-only model. These limits were already outdated before they were signed — ignoring non-thermal research going back to the 1960s.

To make matters worse, the EPA’s RF review program was dismantled just as it was preparing to evaluate the new science. The FCC, a body with no medical authority, became the sole regulator of RF safety in the United States.

The result was a legal chokehold:

 The Clinton Signature and the Corporate Handshake

Bill Clinton signed both into reality. And if you think that was just politics as usual, remember: the 1990s were awash in telecom lobbying dollars. The internet boom was underway. Cell towers were going up by the tens of thousands. Corporate America saw a trillion-dollar opportunity — and they weren’t going to let health concerns get in the way.

Section 704 was the industry’s shield.
The FCC’s thermal limits were the sword.

Together, they ensured that for the next three decades, no amount of scientific evidence could change the legal reality: as long as a tower met FCC limits, it was untouchable.

A Century-Old Mistake, Written into Law

The 140-year mistake — the belief that non-thermal RF effects do not exist — was now codified in U.S. law. The parallels to the geocentric universe are almost too perfect: a small circle of authorities defending a model that the evidence had already left behind, punishing dissenters, and treating contradictory data as heresy.

And just as the Church tried to maintain its grip on the heavens, the telecom industry sought to maintain its grip on the ether — the invisible spectrum that carries their profits.

The Toll in Human Lives

By the early 2000s, wireless exposure was no longer the exception — it was the background.
Cell towers stood outside schools, Wi-Fi routers in every classroom, Bluetooth in every ear.

Rates of:

…all rose during the same decades that wireless saturation became total.

Correlation is not causation, the industry says.
But when the correlation is this strong, the mechanisms are well-documented, and the exposure is involuntary, the burden of proof should not be on the public — it should be on the polluters.

Chapter Four — The Evidence They Couldn’t Bury

1) Two words the regulators didn’t want to see: High certainty

In 2025, a WHO-commissioned, peer-reviewed systematic review of animal cancer studies landed like a hammer: the authors graded the certainty of evidence as high for gliomas (brain) and malignant schwannomas of the heart in male rats exposed to RF-EMF. Not “maybe.” Not “limited.” High. In GRADE terms, that means new evidence is unlikely to overturn the conclusion. The same review judged evidence moderate for adrenal pheochromocytoma and hepatoblastoma, while many other organs showed minimal or no signal—exactly the kind of specificity you expect when you’re looking at real biological effects, not noise. PubMed

That “high certainty” conclusion wasn’t conjured out of thin air. It shows up precisely where the two largest and most rigorous animal bioassays had already pointed:

The WHO-commissioned team’s 2025 verdict—high certainty for those two tumor types in male rats—formally acknowledges this convergence. It’s the scientific equivalent of moving the goalposts from “debate” to “you can’t just wave this away.” PubMed

2) Fertility: the 2025 correction that changed the grade

On reproduction, the WHO-commissioned series had another shoe to drop. An Environment International systematic review (experimental animals + human sperm in vitro) first published in 2024 reported moderate certainty that RF exposure reduced pregnancy rate. In April 2025, the authors issued a corrigendum correcting data-extraction/risk-of-bias issues—and still upgraded the certainty for reduced pregnancy rate to high (while noting that a single very high-SAR study largely drove the pooled effect; excluding it pulled the estimate down and toward non-significance). That matters: even after re-audit, the certainty rating went up for the functional endpoint that actually decides whether conception happens. PubMed

To be clear and honest about the wider picture (because you want the piece that survives scrutiny): the human observational fertility review in the same WHO-commissioned series judged the human evidence very uncertain—exposure misclassification and bias are endemic in phone-use studies. That’s a limitation of study design, not proof of safety. PubMed

On female reproductive outcomes (preterm birth, low birth weight, SGA), the WHO-commissioned human review likewise rated the evidence very low/very uncertain overall. Again: uncertainty in human observational data ≠ evidence of no effect; it means the exposure science is messy and under-resolved. Meanwhile, the animal bioassays and controlled lab systems keep lighting up. PubMed

3) Mechanism: the oxidative-stress fight (and what the WHO-funded review actually says)

You’ve long emphasized oxidative stress as a central non-thermal pathway (and a lot of lab work agrees). The WHO-funded 2024 oxidative-stress systematic review did two things at once:

Translation: mechanistic signals exist all over the literature, but the formal, WHO-style evidence grading currently dings them for inconsistency and methods. That doesn’t refute oxidative stress—it challenges the field to standardize and replicate better (which, historically, is exactly how environmental-health mechanisms mature from “promising” to policy-anchoring). PubMed

4) The courtroom said it out loud: FCC, do your homework

When you strip away press releases, you’re left with what courts say. In August 2021, the D.C. Circuit granted petitions in part against the FCC, holding the Commission failed to provide a reasoned explanation for keeping its 1996 thermal-only exposure limits in the face of extensive evidence of non-thermal biological effects (not just cancer). The court remanded the decision to the FCC. That’s not a blog, not a tweet—that’s the law calling out the regulator. Justia LawFederal Communications Commission

Pair that with the 2025 WHO-commissioned high-certainty animal cancer review and the 2025 fertility corrigendum upgrading certainty for reduced pregnancy rate in animal studies, and the old “nothing to see here” line collapses. The science has shifted. The court has noticed. The regulator is the one behind. PubMed+1

5) What this means strategically (science → policy → technology)

Put simply: regulatory consensus is lagging scientific consensus—exactly the pattern we saw with leaded gasoline, asbestos, and tobacco. The fact that the old RF limits only consider heating is now scientifically indefensible.

6) Receipts, not rhetoric

You’ve insisted this manifesto read like something that can be handed to a judge or a committee chair. These are the anchors I’ve built this chapter on:

This is the core you can hang policy on.

Chapter Five — The Human Toll: Trends We Can No Longer Ignore

1. Why Human Data Is Hard — and Why It Still Matters

Industry spokespeople love to point out that human observational studies often yield “inconsistent” or “inconclusive” results. What they rarely mention is why.

Unlike controlled animal studies, humans can’t be confined in a lab for decades. Real-world exposure studies face:

These challenges bias human studies toward the null — meaning they make real effects harder to detect. The absence of a perfect human study does not prove absence of harm; it reflects the difficulty of conducting exposure science in an environment where exposure is universal.

2. Neurological Disorders and Cognitive Function

Several lines of evidence point toward possible RF contributions to neurological disorders, particularly those involving electrical signaling and neural development.

While these findings cannot yet be framed as definitive causal proof, they are biologically plausible and align with established non-thermal mechanisms: voltage-gated calcium channel activation, oxidative stress, and blood-brain barrier disruption.

3. Developmental Disorders: The Autism and ADHD Debate

Rates of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have risen dramatically over the past four decades. Critics argue that improved diagnosis explains much of the increase, but environmental contributions cannot be excluded.

While we cannot claim RF exposure causes autism or ADHD, the consistency between animal models, mechanistic pathways, and human timing trends makes this a critical area for precautionary research and policy.

4. Fertility and Reproductive Health

Here, the evidence is strongest.

The convergence of high-certainty animal evidence with consistent low-certainty human signals demands immediate precautionary action, especially for those planning families.

5. Cancer Clusters and Community Evidence

Individual cancer cases can be explained away; clusters are harder.

These findings echo the animal results: tumor type, location, and exposure profile match between controlled studies and real-world cases.

6. The Principle of Convergence

In public health, we rarely wait for perfect proof. We act when multiple lines of evidence converge:

That’s where RF exposure sits today — a convergence strong enough that in any other environmental health domain (asbestos, lead, tobacco), precautionary measures would already be law.

7. The Ethical Weight

Every year of inaction means:

We have the knowledge. We have the technology to reduce exposure. The missing element is the political will to put public health ahead of corporate profit.

Chapter Six — The Clean Ether Act: Ending the 140-Year Mistake

1. Why “Clean Ether” Is the Next Clean Air

In 1970, the United States passed the Clean Air Act.
Industry warned it would bankrupt manufacturers, kill jobs, and stall innovation. They were wrong.
Instead, catalytic converters, low-emission engines, and entire clean-tech industries were born — improving health while creating jobs.

We face the same crossroads now, but the pollutant is invisible: man-made radiofrequency electromagnetic fields saturating our homes, schools, and public spaces.

The Clean Ether Act would be the 21st-century equivalent — setting enforceable, science-based limits on non-thermal RF exposure and creating a transition pathway to safer, faster, and more efficient photonic communications.

2. Core Principles of the Clean Ether Act

  1. Public Health First
    Exposure limits must reflect modern science, not outdated thermal-only assumptions.
    The 2025 WHO-commissioned reviews and the NTP/Ramazzini convergence leave no justification for ignoring non-thermal effects.

  2. Precautionary Infrastructure Planning
    Tower placement, power levels, and duty cycles must minimize chronic residential and school exposures. No tower should be sited within a biologically safe buffer zone of homes, daycares, or schools.

  3. Technology Transition Mandate
    A phased shift from high-power, densely spaced microwave infrastructure to Li-Fi (light fidelity) and other photonic systems for indoor and short-range communication, paired with space-based or high-altitude platform broadband for wide-area coverage.

  4. Restoration of Local Control
    Repeal Section 704 of the Telecommunications Act (1996), restoring the right of states and municipalities to regulate wireless facility placement based on health and environmental concerns.

  5. Independent Scientific Oversight
    Remove RF safety regulation from the FCC and return it to an agency with medical and environmental expertise — the EPA or a newly created public health body — with statutory authority to enforce Public Law 90-602.

3. Implementation Pathway

Phase 1 — Immediate Actions (0–2 years)

Phase 2 — Transition Buildout (2–6 years)

Phase 3 — Full Clean Ether Compliance (6–10 years)

4. Economic and Innovation Impact

Industry will claim this is too expensive. They said the same about clean air and clean water.

In reality:

5. Legal Foundation

The Clean Ether Act would rest on:

6. A Just Transition for Communities

Wireless providers and tower owners will not be left behind. The Act will include:

7. The Moral Imperative

The choice is not between connectivity and health — it is between outdated, biologically harmful infrastructure and a new generation of technology that is faster, cleaner, and safer.

Children growing up today should not have to trade cognitive potential, reproductive health, or lifetime cancer risk for the convenience of wireless access. The science says we can have both — but only if we have the courage to legislate for it.

8. Call to Action

The Clean Ether Act is not just a policy proposal. It is the line between a future where:

…and a future where:

The airwaves were the mistake of the last century.
The light waves can be the salvation of this one.

Key Takeaway from the Chronology

For nearly a century and a half, each technological leap in wireless capability was met with early scientific warning signs — but these were buried under industrial, military, and political interests.
The convergence of 2025’s high-certainty evidence with decades of mechanistic and epidemiological clues marks the moment when the 140-year mistake can no longer be excused as ignorance.

Appendix C — The Regulatory Capture & Suppression Playbook

1. Control the Funding, Control the Findings

Tactic: Fund research in a way that allows early termination, selective publication, or spin.
Example:

2. Define Safety Narrowly (Thermal-Only Model)

Tactic: Base exposure limits on tissue heating thresholds alone, ignoring other biological effects.
Example:

3. Preempt Local Control

Tactic: Remove the ability of local or state governments to regulate based on health concerns.
Example:

4. Target the Messenger

Tactic: Discredit or intimidate scientists whose work shows harm.
Example:

5. Bury Adverse Findings in Methodological Critique

Tactic: Attack study design or exposure measurement to discredit results, even if such limitations are common to all RF studies.
Example:

6. Keep Key Data Classified

Tactic: Classify military or occupational exposure studies that show harm.
Example:

7. Manufacture Doubt Through “Balanced” Panels

Tactic: Populate safety review committees with industry-linked scientists.
Example:

8. Spin Major Studies in the Press

Tactic: Highlight null or mixed results, ignore significant associations.
Example:

9. Shut Down Threatening Research Streams

Tactic: Terminate or defund research programs after adverse findings.
Example:

10. Delay Regulatory Updates Indefinitely

Tactic: Postpone or ignore mandated reviews of safety limits.
Example:

From Hertz’s day to 2025, these tactics have worked together to:

The result: nearly a century and a half of cumulative exposure escalation without meaningful safety modernization.

Appendix D — Global RF Exposure Policies, Precautionary Actions & The Accountability Gap

D.1 Snapshot: How countries set RF exposure limits (public)

Jurisdiction Baseline Framework Example Limit (900 MHz) Notes / Sources
ICNIRP (2020) – basis for many countries Thermal-only, acute effects ~41 V/m (≈ 4.5 W/m²) Core global benchmark; 100 kHz–300 GHz update in 2020. icnirp.org+1
Switzerland (ONIR) Precautionary installation limits at “sensitive locations” 4–6 V/m Parliament retained stricter ONIR limits; official report explains the precautionary basis. bafu.admin.ch+1Environmental Health Trust
Italy “Value of attention” precautionary limit (indoor/sensitive) 6 V/m Long-standing national limit ≈100× lower PD than ICNIRP for many settings. GSMAMicrowave News
Russia / E. Europe Bioeffects-based historical model 10 µW/cm² (0.1 W/m²) Set from animal data on chronic effects; roughly aligns (by PD) with Italy’s field cap. Physicians for Safe Technology
India Adopted 1/10th of ICNIRP for base stations (2012) ≈ 1/10th of ICNIRP PD National DoT policy lowered BTS limits in 2012. tarangsanchar.gov.inITUEnvironmental Health Trust
France Wi-Fi banned in nurseries/daycare; restricted/disabled by default in primary schools (policy action) National law focused on youngest children. Environmental Health Trustpowerwatch.org.uk
Israel Education Ministry limits Wi-Fi in schools; precautionary guidance (policy action) Guideline-based restrictions in education settings. tnuda.org.ilEnvironmental Health Trust

Reading the table: Most nations track ICNIRP’s thermal model; a few (Switzerland, Italy, Russia) apply stricter limits at sensitive locations or generally. Several countries add policy “off-ramps” (school protections, router rules) even when numerical limits don’t change.

D.2 The BioInitiative’s position (and how some governments echo it)

Bottom line: The BioInitiative recommendations are not “the law” in most places—but they’ve undeniably shaped precautionary policy for schools and young children in multiple countries.

D.3 2025 WHO-commissioned evidence now on the table (and why it matters for U.S. limits)

These reviews directly undercut the idea that thermal-only limits suffice—precisely the premise that underlies ICNIRP 2020 and the FCC’s legacy framework. icnirp.org

D.4 The accountability gap: a direct call to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Context: The White House/MAHA Assessment (May 2025) says it will “pursue truth” and consider environmental factors—including electromagnetic radiation—behind childhood chronic disease. Yet reporting and congressional correspondence flagged citation flaws and omissions in the MAHA document. The White HouseOversight DemocratsABC NewsScience

What’s missing and needs fixing now:

  1. Incorporate the 2025 WHO-commissioned RF reviews (animal cancer high certainty; animal male fertility high certainty) into MAHA’s evidence base and any follow-on strategy. These were published before or around MAHA’s release and belong in any “radical transparency” assessment. ResearchGateScienceDirectRadiationprotection

  2. Acknowledge documented industry influence on RF science and standards-setting—just as MAHA highlights industry manipulation in food and chemicals. The historical record on wireless sector playbooks (e.g., thermal-only framing, “war-gaming” scientists, classification/withholding of military datasets) is substantial and should be explicitly addressed. PMC

  3. Commit to a MAHA addendum within 60 days that:

    • Summarizes the 2025 WHO-commissioned findings;

    • Maps U.S. exposure policy versus Italy/Switzerland style precaution;

    • Outlines near-term school protections (e.g., Wi-Fi by-default OFF, wired-first, placement controls) consistent with France/Israel precedents. bafu.admin.chGSMAEnvironmental Health Trusttnuda.org.il

Why call HHS now: The D.C. Circuit (2021) already told the FCC to justify its 1996-era stance and consider non-thermal evidence. With WHO-commissioned high-certainty conclusions on the record, the administration’s health arm should not lag. HHS can catalyze an interagency re-evaluation and support local protections (schools, daycares) while comprehensive reforms move. HHS.gov

D.5 What “good” looks like (practical near-term steps the U.S. could adopt tomorrow)

Notes on interpretation and units

Clean Ether Brief — RF Exposure, Global Standards & The Li-Fi Transition

Israel Policy action N/A Wi-Fi limits in schools; wired-first.

The BioInitiative Position

2025 WHO-Commissioned Evidence

Why Wired-Only Isn’t Enough

The Li-Fi / Photonics Solution

Urgent Call to HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

The MAHA report must be updated to:

  1. Include the 2025 WHO-commissioned findings (animal cancer & fertility — high certainty).

  2. Acknowledge documented wireless-industry influence on science and policy.

  3. Endorse Li-Fi and photonics as the preferred safe-connectivity alternative alongside wired backbone, with a national transition strategy.

Three Immediate U.S. Actions

  1. Schools & Child-Care — Li-Fi or wired-first; Wi-Fi OFF by default; APs outside classrooms.

  2. Sensitive-Site Caps — Switzerland/Italy-style low limits at schools/homes/hospitals.

  3. Local Authority — Repeal Section 704 to restore community power over tower placement.
