Beyond Manufactured Doubt and Denial – Facing Wireless Facts
As video journalists and public educators who have been researching and reporting on electro-magnetic pollution and human health issues for over a decade, we continue to be dismayed at the ignorance, confusion, disinformation and active denial that surrounds this topic.

This is in part because of ‘paradigm lag’ – scientific paradigms are notoriously resistant to change, as Thomas Kuhn famously showed in his The Structure of Scientific Revolutions.

But it is also largely the result of well-funded corporate attacks on independent science. As epidemiologist David Michaels shows in his recent book Doubt is Their Product: How Industry’s Assault on Science Threatens Your Health, the generation of corporate-funded PR disinformation campaigns and junk science has grown into an industry itself – the so-called ‘product defense industry.’

Standard Playbook
Here’s the game, rigged from the get-go: Proponents of a given technology don’t have to prove its safe (which they can’t); Opponents have to prove its harmful (which is an uphill battle, given industry PR budgets and paradigm lag). So, if you’re a professional doubt producer, for every study that indicates evidence of harm, create a study that debunks it, then get it in the New York Times or the Washington Post as an ‘opinion’ piece. Once the impression is created that “Oh, well, there’s science on both sides. Guess its just a matter of personal belief,” the Doubt Mongers have won.

That gambit worked with pesticides. It worked with asbestos. It worked with cigarettes. It worked with climate change. It seems to be working with new nukes (despite TMI, Chernobyl and Fukushima. And it seems poised to succeed with wireless and electro-magnetic pollution. It works, that is, until the karma runs over the dogma and the evidence – in the form of irrefutable epidemiological disease and ‘excess deaths’ data – begins to pile up.

Together with the ‘revolving door’ corporate capture of regulatory agencies and control of the dominant communication media, the result is to deny the public the right to know, and to make informed, democratic decisions about the deployment of technologies virtually impossible…until its too late. That’s the state of play with wireless pollution today.

EMF Health Protection is a Social Movement
The Dogs of Doubt and Confusion have been unloosed on the independent researchers and journalists who are laboring to break through the fog of official and industry denial – just as they were against the pioneer truth-tellers on the issues mentioned above. And again, just as in the case of those issues, a grassroots social movement is on the rise to support those on the front lines with political action. It’s goal: democratic, not corporate, control of technological deployments. It is a campaign playing out in various forms in communities around this country and indeed, around the world.

The Real Bottom Line
There is a daunting list of serious human health effects associated with electro-magnetic radiation. But for many, the bottom line is this: wireless radio-frequency pollution – just like radioactive pollution – has been shown in replicated studies to be capable of causing irreparable damage to DNA.

DNA, Democracy and the ‘Wireless Revolution’
Beginning in 2000 with the release of our award-winning broadcast documentary Public Exposure: DNA, Democracy and the “Wireless Revolution,’ we have stayed current with emerging research and have had the honor to know personally and to interview some of the leading independent researchers in the field from around the world, as well as cover numerous legislative hearings and professional presentations on the subject.

Living Proof
We also know personally many cell phone brain cancer survivors and folks suffering from the medical condition known as electro-hyper sensitivity (EHS) and are in the process of documenting their heart-breaking stories. We know the health risks are real and its part of our mission to help spread the word.

For the convenience of our subscribers and viewers we have assembled those interviews and reports here in one place. Scroll down to scan the full playlist. We hope you will find it useful and that you will share the links with others and help spread the word on this vital public health and safety issue. These, and additional posts are also available on our YouTube Channel in the Electro-Magnetic Health Protection playlist.

The Microwave Syndrome [Download PDF] Analysis of all the world scientific studies on effects of hyper frequencies on humans :
A – Contrary to the messages commonly conveyed by some people, no one study in the world has been able to prove the harmlessness of electromagnetic radiation from microwaves on human beings.
B – Most scientific studies to date that are not entirely or partially financed by telecoms (including the wireless industry and mobile phone operators) not only show biologic effects, but also the so called health effects on living beings, and therefore on humans.
