Subject: Oppose Item #4 : Planning Director"s Ordinance
Date: Sunday, September 15, 2024 3:52:44 PM
Please REJECT "Item #4 Planning Director's Ordinance" because it does not allow
proper input from Hawaiians or from local people who know what would be healthy for
them and their families. This is an UNFAIR proposition.
Council Member Cindy Evans has already put Bill 194 for consideration, and Bill 194
would allow that proper input. It is written clearly and fairly, protecting both the health
of people and the pocketbook of the cell phone and associated companies.
Protections for our community are important because there are many true stories of
health problems from 5G instruments. Our beautiful island paradise should NOT be
subjected to such health devastation.
Council Member Evans submitted her bill on August 20. Why would the Planning
Director then suddenly come up with a bill over Labor Day weekend Aug 31 -Sep
1 ??? Who appointed Zendo Kern? Is it time to re -call him??? Is he being paid
by a cell phone company????
Ecological Impacts of Cell Tower
Radiation on Biology of Plants, Animals
(even microscopic ones) and Humans
• Increased cancer risk: Some studies suggest that exposure to
radiofrequency (RF) radiation from cell towers may increase the risk of
cancer, particularly for children and adolescents.
• Genetic damage and reproductive issues: Research has documented
genetic damage and changes to the reproductive system in animals
exposed to RF radiation.
• Neurological and cognitive effects: Some studies have reported
associations between RF radiation exposure and neurological and
cognitive effects, such as headaches, sleep issues, and memory
deficits that also affect ability to learn.
• Increased Radio Frequency (RF) radiation exposure: Cell towers emit RF
radiation, which can increase daily exposure levels, particularly for
individuals living or working near these structures. Children, due to
their smaller size and developing bodies, may be more vulnerable to
RF radiation absorption and potential health effects.
• Distance and exposure levels: The distance between a cell tower and an
individual, as well as the power output of the tower, can affect
exposure levels.
Mr. Arthur Firstenberg reported in his book on the huge numbers of dead
trees -- up to 60 percent !!! in some areas -- of the beautiful Aspen trees that
Colorado is known for, dead after Radio Frequency relay towers were
installed.
See The Invisible Rainbow pages 364-365 by Arthur Firstenberg
"The suddenness and simultaneity of Aspen decline throughout Colorado, which
began precisely in 2004, has been a source of wonder and despair to all who
love and miss the vivid fall colors of these striking trees. In just three years,
from 2003 to 2006, the area of aspen damage increased from 12,000 acres to
140,000 acres. Aspen mortality in the national forests rose three to sevenfold, with
some stands losing 60 percent of these trees".
There is a reason
"The State of Colorado operates a sophisticated public safety communications
network, called the Digital Trunked Radio System, consisting of 203 tall radio
towers whose transmissions cover every square inch of the state. They are
heavily used by police, firefighters, park rangers, emergency medical service
providers, schools, hospitals, and a wide variety of other municipal, state, federal,
and tribal officials. Between 1998 and 2000 the pilot phase of the system, covering
the Denver metro area, was built and tested. In 2001 and 2002, radio towers were
built throughout northeastern and southeastern Colorado and the eastern plains.
And in 2004, 2005, and 2006, the system invaded the western, mountainous part
of the state: Aspen territory."
"At times," says Alfonso Balmori, "I compare what is occurring to a
collective ritual of suicide in slow motion." But he does not think it can
continue indefinitely. "I don't know when, he continues, "but there will come
a day of realization, when society will awaken to the serious problem of
electromagnetic contamination and its dangerous effects on birds, frogs,
bees, trees, and all other living beings, including ourselves."
