New York, New York

Now here is a challenge. If you live in New York City (or the boroughs), as you are walking to work or school or the corner store, look up at the roofs of the buildings around you.

How far do you actually have to go between spotting one antenna and then another?

NYC was where we managed to find the least regulation and the most upset voices, and while this is only one city among the hundreds of cities that dot the globe, we chose the city to serve as our global paradigm.

What you see on the streets of NYC, you can also see on the streets of Sydney, Tokyo, Cairo, and Paris.

   “On November 14 1996, Omnipoint, New York City’s first digital cellular provider opened for business broadcasting from thousands of antennae newly erected on on the rooftops of apartment buildings. According to the health authorities, an early flu hit New York City – but not Boston,and not Philadelphia – on about 15 November. The flu was severe and ran a prolonged course, often dragging on for months, instead of the usual two weeks.

   At Christmas time, the Cellular Phone Task Force placed a small classified ad in a free weekly newspaper. It read “If you have been ill since 11/15/96 with any of the following: eyepain, insomnia, dry lips, swollen throat, pressure or pain in the chest, headaches, dizziness, nausea, shakiness, other aches or pains, or flu that won’t go away, you may be a victim of a new microwave system blanketing the city. We need to hear from you.”

   And goes on Arthur Firstenberg who wrote this: “Hundreds called, men, women, whites, blacks, Asians, Latinos, doctors, lawyers, teachers, stockbrokers, airline stewards, computer operators. Most had woken up suddenly in mid-November, thinking they were having a stroke or a heart attack or a nervous breakdown, and were relieved to know they were not alone and not crazy.”

   From ESGuru Rod Read, copied from ‘The Ecologist’ 01/06/2004, like all ES people “not crazy and relieved” to discover this typical list of symptoms has a simple unnatural cause.

   France is now in the process of taking down it’s cell towers, after it’s citizens have suffered years of medical problems. How long will it take the U.S to overlook the money/greed aspect of cell towers and vote for healthy citizens.?? Other than turn off my phone, how can I help? (I sufferred massive EMF poisoning in 2206/07 after 3 towers triangulated thru my house. How many other mistakes have been made just in the alignment of equipment?)

   I live in a coop in the Bronx, NY. I am currently fighting my coop Board as they are considering a proposal from a wireless company to lease our two rooftops to erect cell towers/antennas.

   I’m thrilled to have stumbled upon your movie. Though I haven’t seen it yet, I’ve sent away for a copy assuming it will be a strong influence against cell towers/antennas, particularly the extensive proliferation in residential areas. Just an couple of blocks from my apartment is a residential building with at least 20 antennas on the roof. I look in the opposite direction and there are numerous more buildings all around me with these antennas. It’s frightening!

   I developed a horrifying autoimmune disease right around 1996 and now I just read on this blog that that is exactly when Omnipoint activated their antennas all over New York City. This disease has been a nightmare for me.

   I also recently wrote to several local politicians asking what, if anything, they are doing to regulate or ban erecting these towers on residential properties. None have written me back yet. I particularly mentioned to them the fact that I see low buildings with antennas right next to much taller buildings so that their antennas aim directly into people’s apartment windows. At the very least, this should be illegal!

   Thanks so much for making this movie. I’m looking forward to viewing it and I intend to suggest purchasing it to my neighbors or I will lend my copy to any of them. We are desparate to prevent our coop Board from signing any contracts. They are only in this for the rental income and are resistant to researching the potential health hazards, wanting only to believe the wireless firms so they can collect the income.
