Protecting Against Coronavirus, Stopping 5G, and Creating a Safe Refuge for All of Us


We are happy to announce that the Stop Smart Meters! toll-free hotline has been funded for 2020, thanks to your donations and support! Thank you for helping us keep this critical lifeline available to those who need it! If you have left a voicemail for us on the hotline and have not received a call back, please try us again.

We have recently been fielding a large number of calls and e-mails regarding the Coronavirus, and thought we would reach out with some sound, science-based advice at this time:

  • There is no evidence that the coronavirus is directly caused by 5G or other wireless.
  • There is plenty of evidence that wireless RF microwave radiation can and does damage the immune system and potentially cause viral mutations.
  • In addition to the excellent advice from Dr. James Robb below, we would add the following recommendations to boost your immune system:
  1. Get plenty of exercise– especially of the aerobic variety. Sedentary habits are a killer! Cycling is an enjoyable and zero-carbon way to get around, and allows you to limit your exposure to people and their bugs on public transport. There are plenty of online resources to help you get around safely.
  2. Get plenty of sleep. Wireless exposure and late night screen exposure is linked with insomnia and a lack of deep sleep.
  3. Reduce your EMF exposure– wireless is a totally unnecessary and hazardous technology, and is associated with damage to the immune system that can leave you vulnerable to illness. There are now widespread calls to disconnect RF-emitting cells and wireless smart meters to prevent damage to public immunity. Here is a fascinating in-depth look at the connection between 5G and coronavirus from Paul Doyon of EMF Refugee.
  4. Most wireless exposure is self-inflicted in the home. It’s time to rid RF from your home entirely, with the help of an EMF meter. Affordable models are now available from the Stop Smart Meters! store and these benefit our activism. The popular, precise “Safe and Sound” meters from Safe Living Technologies should be ready to ship from our store next week.
  5. Educate yourself– we have great books for sale in our store, including “The Invisible Rainbow” by Arthur Firstenberg now in paperback that details the history of immune damage from EMF and the associated pandemics (very timely!).

Following is the most relevant and sane advice that we have seen on how to protect yourself and your family from the coronavirus. There is a lot of misinformation out there, so use your common sense and be skeptical of claims from dodgy sources. Stay safe out there and let us know if we can assist in fighting to keep your community safe. Never back down when your life and your health are at stake!

In solidarity,

Josh Hart
Director, StopSmartMeters.org

p.s. After ten years of listening to a steady drumbeat of sad and tragic stories of people injured by wireless with no place to go, my wife and I just couldn’t take it anymore. So, we are now working to create an EMF and wildlife refuge on our 15 acres in the Sierra Nevada mountains of Northern California. We envision a safe place for people from all walks of life to meet and organize. The setting here is unique and beautiful. There is an old growth forest, wildflower meadow, and volcanic features on the land, with direct access to the Plumas and Tahoe National Forests. We welcome donations to help develop infrastructure to host a seasonal retreat for people who are recovering from toxic environments. Do you want to play a critical role in expanding our refuge? There are currently two homes and 6 acres for sale next door to us in a very low EMF environment– asking price $275K- please contact us for details. Thank you for helping us make our vision a reality.


 

 

For those concerned about the coronavirus:
Subject: What I am doing for the upcoming COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic
by James Robb, MD UC San Diego

Dear Colleagues, as some of you may recall, when I was a professor of pathology at the University of California San Diego, I was one of the first molecular virologists in the world to work on coronaviruses (the 1970s). I was the first to demonstrate the number of genes the virus contained. Since then, I have kept up with the coronavirus field and its multiple clinical transfers into the human population (e.g., SARS, MERS), from different animal sources.

The current projections for its expansion in the US are only probable, due to continued insufficient worldwide data, but it is most likely to be widespread in the US by mid to late March and April.

Here is what I have done and the precautions that I take and will take. These are the same precautions I currently use during our influenza seasons, except for the mask and gloves.:

1) NO HANDSHAKING! Use a fist bump, slight bow, elbow bump, etc.

2) Use ONLY your knuckle to touch light switches, elevator buttons, etc.. Lift the gasoline dispenser with a paper towel or use a disposable glove.

3) Open doors with your closed fist or hip – do not grasp the handle with your hand, unless there is no other way to open the door. Especially important on bathroom and post office/commercial doors.

4) Use disinfectant wipes (thyme oil Seventh Generation are best -ssm) at the stores when they are available, including wiping the handle and child seat in grocery carts.

5) Wash your hands with soap for 10-20 seconds and/or use a greater than 60% alcohol-based hand sanitizer whenever you return home from ANY activity that involves locations where other people have been.

6) Keep a bottle of sanitizer available at each of your home’s entrances. AND in your car for use after getting gas or touching other contaminated objects when you can’t immediately wash your hands.

7) If possible, cough or sneeze into a disposable tissue and discard. Use your elbow only if you have to. The clothing on your elbow will contain infectious virus that can be passed on for up to a week or more!

What I have stocked in preparation for the pandemic spread to the US:

1) Latex or nitrile latex disposable gloves for use when going shopping, using the gasoline pump, and all other outside activity when you come in contact with contaminated areas.

Note: This virus is spread in large droplets by coughing and sneezing. This means that the air will not infect you! BUT all the surfaces where these droplets land are infectious for about a week on average – everything that is associated with infected people will be contaminated and potentially infectious. The virus is on surfaces and you will not be infected unless your unprotected face is directly coughed or sneezed upon. This virus only has cell receptors for lung cells (it only infects your lungs) The only way for the virus to infect you is through your nose or mouth via your hands or an infected cough or sneeze onto or into your nose or mouth.

2) Stock up now with disposable surgical masks and use them to prevent you from touching your nose and/or mouth (We touch our nose/mouth 90X/day without knowing it!). This is the only way this virus can infect you – it is lung-specific. The mask will not prevent the virus in a direct sneeze from getting into your nose or mouth – it is only to keep you from touching your nose or mouth.

3) Stock up now with hand sanitizers and latex/nitrile gloves (get the appropriate sizes for your family). The hand sanitizers must be alcohol-based and greater than 60% alcohol to be effective.

4) Stock up now with zinc lozenges. These lozenges have been proven to be effective in blocking coronavirus (and most other viruses) from multiplying in your throat and nasopharynx. Use as directed several times each day when you begin to feel ANY “cold-like” symptoms beginning. It is best to lie down and let the lozenge dissolve in the back of your throat and nasopharynx. Cold-Eeze lozenges is one brand available, but there are other brands available.

I, as many others do, hope that this pandemic will be reasonably contained, BUT I personally do not think it will be. Humans have never seen this snake-associated virus before and have no internal defense against it. Tremendous worldwide efforts are being made to understand the molecular and clinical virology of this virus. Unbelievable molecular knowledge about the genomics, structure, and virulence of this virus has already been achieved. BUT, there will be NO drugs or vaccines available this year to protect us or limit the infection within us. Only symptomatic support is available.

I hope these personal thoughts will be helpful during this potentially catastrophic pandemic. You are welcome to share this email. Good luck to all of us!

Did Switzerland Just Halt 5G Wireless Over Health Problems?

On Feb. 12th, the Financial Times reported that Switzerland has halted 5G due to health concerns about the technology- specifically the beam-forming characteristics of the new technology– essentially streetpole-mounted equipment that can emit “microwave lasers.”

The next day (predictably) the global telecom industry via Mobile World Live published an article claiming that this was not in fact the case.

We took a look at the original letter translated from the German- it sounds to us like Switzerland put a halt to 5G installations because of concerns about public exposure.

Here are some key quotes from the letter:

“With adaptive antennas, it is possible to send the signals in the direction of the users or the mobile devices (beamforming) and to reduce them significantly in the other directions.”

“There is still no standard worldwide….”

“…further clarifications on exposure must be made and, if possible, tested in real operation.”

“This work will take some time.”

Sounds to us like it’s pretty much an open and shut case– under pressure from the populace, Swiss regulators are getting cold feet about authorizing new 5G infrastructure that could seriously harm the population.

This moratorium is the result of a huge grassroots effort in Switzerland to ban 5G, including large street protests and this petition that has garnered tens of thousands of signatures. Take a stand for community health and our common future.  Oppose 5G!

Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s Children’s Health Defense Sues FCC Over Inadequate and Outdated RF Safety Guidelines

RFK, Jr. to Lead Historic Case Against U.S. Government for Wireless Harms Children’s Health Defense

(CHD) is leading a historic legal action against the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) for its refusal to review their 25 year old guidelines, and to promulgate scientific, human evidence-based radio frequency emissions (“RF”) rules that adequately protect public health from wireless technology radiation. The petition contends the agency’s actions are arbitrary and not evidence-based. The Petition was filed on 2/2/2020 in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

CHD is a non-profit organization dedicated to ending the epidemic of children’s chronic health conditions. The organization recognizes that wireless technology radiation is a major contributing factor to the exponential increase in sickness among children.

“This action represents the first time in 25 years that we finally can expose the FCC fecklessness in court, and give those who have been injured by the FCC’s disregard for human health a voice,” says Dafna Tachover, CHD’s Director of Stop 5G & Wireless Harms.

In 1996, the FCC, responsible for regulating the safety of wireless technology, adopted guidelines which only protect consumers from thermal levels of wireless harm, ignoring substantial evidence of profound harms from non-thermal levels. The FCC hasn’t reviewed its guidelines since, despite clear scientific evidence and growing rates of RF related sickness.

In 2012, the General Accountability Office published a report recommending that the FCC re-assess its guidelines. As a result, in 2013, the FCC opened docket 13-84 asking for public comment. Despite overwhelming evidence in support of new rules submitted by hundreds of individuals and scientists, the FCC did nothing. On December 4, 2019, the FCC closed the docket and affirmed the adequacy of its guidelines without proper assessment. CHD’s action challenges that FCC decision.

The FCC’s obsolete guidelines and the false sense of safety they provide enabled the uncontrolled proliferation of wireless technology and the ongoing deployment of 5G, which will exponentially increase exposure to this harmful radiation.

CHD Chairman Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will lead the legal team with seasoned telecommunications and administrative law attorney Scott McCollough.

The Petitioners include parents of children injured by wireless devices, a mother whose son died from a brain tumor from cell tower exposure, physicians who see the epidemic of sickness in their clinics and Professor David Carpenter, a renowned scientist.

PG&E’s “Smart Grid” + Climate Crisis = Existential Risks

It’s looking like Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) is now responsible not only for igniting the Kincade Fire which has burned 66,000 acres in Sonoma County, California and now threatens more than 80,000 structures, but also two more fires in California over the past couple of days.

It has become fairly obvious that PG&E’s “smart” grid program–which includes millions of “smart” meters on homes and businesses, as well as transmitters and other electronics–has greatly increased the risks associated with grid electricity. As the climate crisis- (brought to you in part by decades of PG&E fossil fuel burning) provides the tinder dry fuels and extreme weather, the added complexity and ignition risk of smart grid communications infrastructure provides the spark, California communities are asking how we got into this perfect storm.

The answer is that regulators at the (governor appointed) CPUC and state legislature have consistently failed to adequately protect the public, even though evidence pointing to the need for a wholesale recall of this technology has been documented for many years. Nina Beety of Monterey, CA based SmartMeterHarm.org has painstakingly documented the ignition risks of smart meters and the smart grid, and her reports are available for download on her website. After reading this report, it is clear that no agency truly concerned about public safety could allow this system to persist.

Not only do smart meters cause deadly fires on their own, they are also inherently ill-equipped to safely handle electrical surges, as we documented when hundreds of meters exploded in Capitola and Stockton, California in 2015. PG&E’s replacement of analogs with smart meters starting in 2009 has not represented “progress” as the company claims, but a dangerous miscalculation that has wasted billions and led to unnecessary deaths and injuries.

Communities are now adding up the cost of allowing PG&E to milk Californians of billions of dollars in ratepayer fees, while not only neglecting (but actively endangering) public safety. Urgent questions are being asked about what this means for the future in light of a quickly worsening climate crisis.

The solution must start immediately:

• Leave all remaining fossil fuels safely in the ground. We support the Extinction Rebellion Movement!

• Require a full safety recall of smart meters and smart grid equipment- re-installing safer analog meters and removing smart grid electronics from power poles.

• Declare a public safety emergency and seize control of PG&E. Hold white collar criminals individually accountable.

• Since the possibility of a safe, functional electric grid in areas prone to explosive wildfire seems no longer an option, explore a phased retirement of the obsolete electrical grid, in favor of locally controlled micro-grids run on renewable energy. Compared to other options such as undergrounding of utility lines, this option would likely be less expensive in the long term.

We hope everyone stays safe out there, and when this crisis subsides, we need to have a serious conversation about the future of energy- how it is produced, how it is delivered, and how it is used. We can no longer continue to use the sky as our dumping ground, and we can no longer allow profit-obsessed corporations like PG&E to have power over our lives.

-SSM!

EMF Meters: Your Eyes and Ears Into the World of Electrosmog

The Cornet ED88T Plus is an affordable EMF meter with lots of new features.

Over the last decade, we have provided thousands of people with EMF readers, allowing them to detect, avoid and mitigate unsafe EMF exposures from smart meters and other wireless devices, household wiring and appliances.

Increasing EMF literacy in our communities is one of the primary program activities of Stop Smart Meters! If you cannot compare a high and low EMF environment, or measure how strong the wi-fi or smart meter radiation coming through the wall is, or listen to EMF sounds to detect the source, how would you begin to take action to remediate those exposures? People with a basic level of EMF literacy are more empowered when it comes to one of the most serious emerging environmental health risks we face.

The wireless industry would like to keep the general population “EMF illiterate.” They love it when people throw up their hands and say, “oh well it’s everywhere — what can you do, anyway?” and sign up for the latest wireless data package.

The reality is that Electro Magnetic Fields (EMF)—though a quintillion times stronger than pre-electricity days—still widely varies by neighborhood, region, and household depending on the strength of the source and its proximity. Many people don’t realize that most EMF exposure is self-inflicted. Since wi-fi, cell phones, cordless phones etc. are typically closer to you than smart meters or cell towers, those tend to be the highest exposures.

The good news is that wired solutions are readily available. Given the science showing serious risk of harm from wireless technology, there is no real excuse for continuing to generate harmful microwaves within the home.

Electrosmog Meters (that measure the strength of various types of EMF) are more affordable, and have more capabilities than ever before.

We have a good selection of the best EMF meters at discount prices in our store, and all sales benefit our efforts to reduce unnecessary EMF in the environment. One man we sold a Cornet meter to earlier this year told us it felt like the meter had become his “eyes and ears” into the world of EMF. A world that most people cannot see, hear or feel by themselves, but that science says is doing real harm on a cellular level.

The Trifield TF2 is a basic multi-meter with good resolution on low frequency measurements

So which meter to buy? A basic multi-meter such as the Trifield TF2 or the Cornet ED88T Plus is suitable for most people’s needs. Both these models measure RF from smart meters, cell phones, etc as well as E-Field and Magnetic fields from wiring, powerlines, and appliances. Which one is right for you? If a lot of features and capabilities is important to you, and you like the moving graph and flashing red, yellow and green lights, then the Cornet ED88T Plus is the best choice. If you are looking for a basic meter without the frills, and want more precision when measuring low frequencies, then you might want to consider the Trifield TF2.

The Alphalab Powerline Meter measures “dirty electricity” on household wiring.

Both the above meters pair well with the Alphalab Powerline Meter, a plug-in meter that measures levels of dirty electricity present on household wiring.

In certain cases, people require more advanced meters (such as the EMFields Acoustimeter for RF and the Alphalab UHS2 for LF.) These meters typically offer more precision than the multi-meters, and are essential for those looking to identify locations within the Building Biology “No Concern” Category. We have a number of combo deals that make these devices more affordable.

Reasons to buy an EMF Meter from StopSmartMeters.org/store

  1. We guarantee the lowest prices on all EMF meters we sell.
  2. All sales benefit our independent grassroots organization and our outreach activities.
  3. All meters are calibrated and set to precautionary guidelines (most others ship meters set to outdated, hazardous government exposure guidelines).
  4. Shipping is always included in the price. We expedite all meter orders and ship out of Reno, NV. Most domestic orders arrive within 2-3 business days.
  5. We offer full, personalized support with every meter purchased: how to interpret data and even how to reduce EMF in your community and home.
  6. All meters ship with free outreach materials like stickers and brochures to give your friends and neighbors.

We recently donated two Cornet ED88T’s to our Plumas County Library System so people will soon be able to check out the meter for free with their library card. Consider purchasing an EMF meter for your local library today and improving EMF literacy in your community!

In addition to meters, we have a number of items that would make good gifts for the people on your list who need the information most. Most popular right now are DVD’s of Generation Zapped and the book Invisible Rainbow by Arthur Firstenberg. We also have red corded landline telephones to replace your outdated cordless models. If you don’t fancy anything in our shop, and still want to support our work, you can make a quick donation of any amount here. We appreciate it:)

Check out our online store today, spread the word, and best wishes for the season to everyone.
