1) Two new short videos from Dr. Magda Havas.
1. The first was designed for the District of Muskoka (Canada) where citizens are trying to prevent erection of a 5G antenna. It is entitled: The Pros and Cons of 5G. Perhaps others who are also trying to prevent the same thing happening in their community could benefit by watching/sharing this video. The video is short (under 10 minutes) as they gave me only 10 minutes to share information. It has already helped a different group trying to prevent new antennas coming into their community.

2. The second video is entitled: R2ID3: The Root-Cause Protocol to Treat EHS. It is also short, about 8 minutes (and you can speed it up and watch it at 1.5 speed if time is limited). Here we explore some ideas on how to help people heal. It involves common precursors that many people have who suffer from EHS. Some of these may be causal (although cause is more challenging to demonstrate).

Please feel free to share these videos with others.

2) Below in Letters is the beginning of an attempt to get some answers to important questions raised about the decision to allow wireless smeters to be forced upon us. Marcus Schluschen has written very detailed and well-documented letters hoping to open an honest debate. He asked me to not share the letters until he had some responses. Below is his first letter and BCUC’s first response. The second go-round will be in tomorrow’s update.
We had evidence provided by experts, such as Dr. Martin Blank, which was ignored. BCUC’s panel members chose to accept, without question, biased and ridiculous comments from Exponent, one of the most widely used product defense companies. If BC Hydro and FortisBC believed their smeters were so safe, why did they need to pay these hired guns to represent them?
Having read BCUC’s response, I would ask at least one important question. Who at BCUC has the expertise to make this determination: “Safety Standard 6 is sufficiently conservative to address any risk to human health arising from exposure to radiofrequency.” (quoted from the letter below).

Subject: Accountability in BC?
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Once upon a time, there was a political party who valued democratic principles so highly, that they proudly included the word ‘Democrats’ in their name.
Their supporters celebrated their national leaders, such as Mr. Douglas and Mr. Layton, who stood proudly for democratic principles and against governmental overreach.
Today’s NDP, however, provincial & federally, a mere shadow of itself, has become unrecognizable by the thousands of British Columbians who voted for them, as autocracy and corporate influence peddling has become rampant in BC as well as Ottawa. Corporate influence trumps all aspects of life and no one has the courage to stand up to these corporate entities without a conscience. Corporate money rules every aspect of life.
A crushing blow for democracy in BC!
The ‘FORCED’ installations of “smart” meters, which emit biologically active radiofrequency radiation, was the first salvo, which decimated people’s trust in this NDP government. People were boldly lied to and coerced by BC’s Crown Corporation, BC Hydro while leaders of the New Democrats stood idly by, allowing such vile, illegal acts, of corporate thuggery.
Please correct me if I am wrong; . . . are BC Hydro’s executives not employed by the Government of BC? Are these public servants not subservient to the powers of the government? Why did the NDP and BCUC forfeit their authority? Do they lack the courage to stand up to the smooth talking executives of BC Hydro?
– No government oversight, and complete abdication of duty to protect.
– No independent engineer signed off on these dangerous devices, as they remain a fire hazard and have burned many homes in BC.
– The public was kept deliberately in the dark of thousands of peer reviewed studies showing adverse biological effects to man and the environment.
– The BC Government tolerated coercion, threats, intimidation and naked lies by BC Hydro.
– Every community is now bathed in BC Hydro’s electro smog pollution.
– Democracy was brutally nailed to the floor of the British Columbia Legislature by the NDP.
Accountability in BC?
Thousands of letters were sent to this government, in protest, to no avail, including many highly concerned EMF scientists and informed physicians, warning of long-term health effects. What did BCUC and the NDP leadership do in response? They sent out letters by underlings, who have not the slightest knowledge of the seriousness of chronic radiation exposure, assuring the public that “their experts” (which you don’t have) are on top of things and there is absolutely nothing to fear, even though international research, by the thousands, condemned chronic radiofrequency radiation exposure as highly bioactive.
Ladies and Gentlemen, as an EMF Consultant, I can assure you that your leadership is flying by the seat of their pants and that their assurance of safety is scientifically unsubstantiated.
Why is there no protest by this NDP government against the unrestrained explosion of cell towers, and over-saturation of public WiFi even in hospitals? Surely, even politicians and public servants must find some time to read the information sent to you, by concerned scientists, doctors and the public, including myself.
Not allowed to speak of health and property devaluation?
Why are citizens, including experienced physicians, biologists, and EMF consultants, “not allowed” to speak in public hearings about health or property devaluations in BC because of cell towers?
Of course, the government’s official scripted response is to pass the buck and announce that this is federal jurisdiction. Since when has health and massive property devaluations become a federal concern? Why will the NDP not fight for the people of BC? Where are your courageous outspoken leaders of the past?
Such repugnant corporate influence would have never been tolerated by your predecessors, and it looks to me that today’s generation simply lacks the ability, or the will, to fight for the people you swore an oath to serve.
As a certified EMF consultant, I am contacted by many individuals and families whose health took a sudden nosedive after “smart” meters arrived or cell towers were installed close to their homes (sometimes even right beside them) which floods every corner of their home, including their child’s bedroom, in a soup of radiofrequency pollution. In many cases, these radiation levels reach far, far, beyond ‘EXTREME’ radiation exposure.
Even my own home is inundated with e-smog pollution from a “smart” meter, as well as a TELUS cell tower, which is far too close to homes.
I am either forced to sell my home, or spend a fortune to shield, in order to assure long-term health.
Do TELUS, Rogers, or government officials care? Not the slightest, as today’s political leaders are unwilling to stand up for democratic principles!
The BC Government, including BC Health, remains woefully uneducated in this field with a few exceptions. Blindly they keep reciting the notoriously non-protective Safety Code 6 mantra, which is outdated by decades, and not supported by today’s, non-industry-affiliated research.
All levels of government received access to thousands of studies, including Mr. Dix, Bonnie Henry, as well as BCUC.
Corporate Capture of BC’s Government Agency
Before closing, let me inform you of BCUC’s corporate capture, who decided to relinquish their oversight position of industry.
FORTISBC hired the American industry lobby firm, Exponent, who is known to defend dirty industry, in an effort to install 1,100,000 “smart” gas meters thoughout BC. Exponent’s lobbyist boldly claimed that humans emit more radiation than Wi-Fi. Yes, you read correctly, this is not a typo! According to Exponent, humans emit more radiation than Wi-Fi!
Since several Canadian EMF scientists did not agree with this absurd statement, they provided BCUC with a high quality video which clearly showed that humans do not emit more radiation than Wi-Fi by using not just one person but an entire group of people. This entire group did not emit any radiation!
Despite having received the excellent video, done by EMF experts, BCUC decided to believe the lobby firm, Exponent, which will have dire biological consequences for the public in the long term.
Is this proper behavior of a government agency, which clearly sides with industry and not the public?
If government agencies cannot be relied on by the public, the question arises, why have an agency who is chumming with the industry they are supposed to govern?
I am looking forward to your non-scripted response.
Kind regards,
Marcus Schluschen

Subject: RE: FW: Accountability in BC?
Dear Mr. Schluschen,
Thank you for your email to the British Columbia Utilities Commission (BCUC) regarding FortisBC Energy Inc. (FEI)’s Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) project.
On May 15, 2023, the BCUC granted a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) to FEI’s AMI project, per Order C-2-23. Section 45(1) of the Utilities Commission Act (UCA) requires a person to first obtain from the BCUC a CPCN approving the construction or operation before beginning the construction or operation of a public utility plant or system, or an extension of either. The application for a CPCN must include, in part, the project need, alternatives and justification as well as the BC government energy objectives and policy considerations.
For more information regarding the CPCN proceeding, you may wish to visit the following link:
https://www.bcuc.com/OurWork/ViewProceeding?applicationid=889
The BCUC conducted an open and transparent public process to review FEI’s application to determine whether its AMI project was in the public interest. To assess public interest, the BCUC established a set of relevant needs that included accurate and convenient meter reading, demand side management and energy conservation opportunities for customers, enhanced safety and resiliency for FEI’s gas distribution network, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions due to less vehicle traffic needed to manually read meters, and cost effectiveness.
During the proceeding, the BCUC reviewed participant submissions on several topics including alternative project options, the overall impact to ratepayers, project costs, potential benefits, and human health impacts. Further, Health and safety was an important consideration for the BCUC in its review of FortisBC’s AMI project. After reviewing the evidence submitted by all parties during the proceeding, the BCUC was satisfied that the AMI technology met the required Health Canada safety standards for wireless technology. The BCUC has the jurisdiction to assess safety under the powers granted in the Utilities Commission Act.
In this case, the BCUC evaluated whether radiofrequency emissions from this project poses a threat to the health of FEI’s customers. The BCUC found that Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 is applicable to the technology FEI proposes to use for the AMI Project, and that the project meets Health Canada’s Safety Code 6 standards. Given that the AMI technology meets Safety Code 6 standards, the BCUC determined that Safety Standard 6 is sufficiently conservative to address any risk to human health arising from exposure to radiofrequency.
The BCUC found that the AMI project was in the public interest and consistent with FEI’s 2022 Long-term Gas Resource Plan and BC government policy, as outlined in the Clean Energy Act and CleanBC plan. FEI was also approved to offer an option for customers who do not want to connect to wireless technology on their premises. In these cases, the customer will pay a fee for their meter modification and to continue having their meter read manually.
FEI’s AMI project is set to begin with meter replacements this year.
Further, regarding you concerns with safety, if you have concerns that your premises pose an immediate safety risk, please contact the FortisBC Energy Inc.’s Emergency phone line at 1-866-948-5543. (24 hours) or call 911.
