"In 1957, the Age of radar was launched, heaving millions of watts of microwave energy toward our skies." I can only imagine the physiological damage that level of radiation caused.
I find this interesting because around 1959 my dad started working at an air force base. Unfortunately "something" caused a severe recurrence of osteomyelitis and had to be hospitalized for several months.
My father worked in radar in England in WW2. The “age of radar” started well before he got involved as a 23 year old in 1939. I know of no significant radar development tagged to 1957 which makes your claim that radar advancement might be linked to Asian Flu. Was there something in 1957 that I don’t know about?
Thank you Dave for sharing. Great question. Radar was first used extensively during WWII as you mention, however it was deployed on a massive scale by the US during the mid 1950s - as it sought to surround itself with a triple layer of protection that would detect any nuclear attack.
The first and smallest barrier was the 39 stations of the Pinetree Line, which kept vigil from coast to coast across southern Canada and from Nova Scotia northward to Baffin Island. This line, completed in 1954, was the "roots" for a huge tree of surveillance that grew b/w 1956 and 1958, whose branches spread across mid- and high-latitude Canada, sent shoots to Alaska, and drooped down over the Atlantic and Pacific to guard the US on east, west, and north. When it was complete hundreds of radar domes, resembling golf balls the size of buildings, littered,the Canadian landscape from ocean to ocean, and from the US border to the Arctic. The Pacific radar Barrier, which extended down to Hawaii, first became fully operational at Pearl Harbor in 1958. There were also three "Texas Towers" that were equipped with long-range radar, placed about 100 miles off the Atlantic coast and affixed to the ocean floor in Cape Cod, and New York Harbor, being activated in early summer 1957.

The "Asian" flu pandemic began about the end of Feb 1957, and lasted for more than a year. The bulk of the mortality occurred in the fall and winter of 57-58.
Yes it clarifies a lot. Thank you. I read Furstenburgs book three years ago and found its ideas to be well researched, convincing and, above all, important.
I took a course in Stellar Astronomy a number of years ago. One of the most interesting things about that class is the presentation of the electro-magnetic spectrum which, despite a four year college degree and a graduate degree I had never come across before. So what I learned in this class (I took the class at a community college in California; a great public education system by the way) was that all the energy we are subjected to is on the electro-magnetic spectrum. Most of it originates in our Sun with the proton-proton reaction in which a hydrogen plasma, in the nuclear fission reaction of creating helium, creates most of the electro-magnetic energy we receive. (The remaining EM energy comes from distant stars and dust clouds.) But the proton-proton reaction, in addition to creating helium also creates gamma rays. This is the origin of EM energy from the sun to the earth. As these highly energetic gamma rays migrate to the sun's surface ( the photo-sphere) they gradually loose energy and thus become less energetic X-rays, ultra-violet light, visible light, infra-red light and radio waves. Fortunately our atmosphere shields us life forms from the more energetic EM radiation which damages DNA.
Ultimately all this energy from the sun which started as highly energetic gamma rays is "slowed" to radio waves. However, as I believe (if I follow you) you imply, we have increased our environmental bombardment of radio waves in recent decades from man made sources. The question raised (and I think you address it somewhat) is what are all these radio waves at their various frequencies doing to humans and other life forms? I am far from qualified to answer that question. But I think you have added some information to the issue here. That is why I am grateful for your article today.
How much do you think coffee and caffeine contribute to EMF sensitivity? Also cannabis use. Read the materia medica for these two substances. They are also bio-accumulators of aluminum. Chlorine and flouride in the water not only block the absorption of iodine in the body; they also liberate aluminum fro its bound form and make it neurotoxic by preventing the formation of neurotransmitters. http://www.homeoint.org/books1/allenhandbook/c/coff-t.htm, http://www.homeoint.org/books/boericmm/c/cann-i.htm
Hi Tami - thanks. I haven't looked at the link yet - but I am aware of cannabis as an accumulator of aluminum - Chris Exley has done some great research on this. Caffeine wouldn't surprise me as it raises cortisol, chronic stress response, which then makes us more susceptible to more stress, plus dehydration via caffeine. Apparently if you have more muscle mass, you can metabolize caffeine faster. A good reason to lift some weights (:
Keep the history coming/loved that video of Prince.
It's interesting to know that the growth in communications technology for regular folks was preceded by some military use/application. It's like we're getting hand me downs lol. Late at night and wide awake, I wonder what hand me downs we have been given for something more advanced.
Thanks Roman & Bodhanna for another insightful commentary into the effect of all these devices & frequencies on our collective well-being. And for your gentle yet persistent efforts to wake up sleeping (or insomniac) humanity.

yeah - and now lotsa cars, esp teslas, are constantly spewing radar on our highways and country roads.

Does that help clarify?

Thanks so much Dave for confirming. Glad I was able to shed some light on the topic. Anything you're doing these days to reduce EMF?
Many thanks for the always thought provoking information, Mr. Shapoval.
Thank you so much Tom! We appreciate your kind words of support. Anything you found particularly insightful in this episode?
Thank you Mr. Shapoval.

Sorry. That nuclear reaction in the Sun is Fusion, not Fission! Bad error.

Coffee consumption can cause goiter according to my materia medica. Iodine protects the thyroid which we also know is damaged by EMF's.

Lifting weights will not help women in peri-menopause and menopause. They will still have trouble metabolizing the caffeine and in the meantime will be losing minerals. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001IZC3VK?tag=bravesoftwa04-20&linkCode=osi&th=1&psc=1&language=en_US

Thank you Yantra for your kind words, as always (: of support. It’s tough being awake in the dark bedroom of humanity eh?
