  • @Tamizushi ok.whatever.thanks for your concern

  • @jacmunbong Ok at this point I'm pretty sure you are trolling.

  • OH,AND MASSIVE POISONING OF ALL WATER SUPPLIES WITH FLUORIDE ARE RIGHT ON THE TOP OF THE LIST AS WELL.WHY IS IT I AM RESEARCHING THESE THINGS AND THESE PEOPLE WITH THEIR GODDAMND DEGREES AND PAYCHECKS KNOW LESS THAN I??RESEARCH FLUORIDE.

  • @Tamizushi EVERY tree in a 40 mile radius is dead or showing signs of disease.i dont have a car so thats as far as ive seen,and i am too sick to leave home often thanks to the deadly repeater antennae for the smartgrid being placed on the street corner outside of my lowincome apartment,and every other poor neighborhood.the frogs extinct a week from install,ALL of themPERMANENTLY.i live in beaverton oregon

  • @Tamizushi the "smartgrid"and a new cell tower and free wifi added daily are killing everything in their paths,and if you dont start listening,no one will give birth to a healthy child in 10yrs IF theres a planet left at all.between the smartgrid and gmo food we are doomed

  • @Tamizushi you want to believe studies that are ALL industry funded rather than believe your fellow man.shame.go to smartmeterhelp*com and you'll find thousands of people saying the same thing.youtube barrie trower.he's a microwave weopons specialist.he'll tell ya.or sam millham,dirty electricity specialist,or daniel hirsch dean of public health,orOlle Johansson, PhD, Department of Neuroscience, Magda Havas, PhD, Professor of Environmental & Resource Studies,google their names /smartmeters.more?

  • @Tamizushi Why Our Urban Trees are Dying by Andrew Goldsworthy 2011

  • @jacmunbong What kind of "destruction" are you witnessing with your own eyes? Are you writing to me from an hospital bed? Or maybe you are referring to all the trees with 500 feet of your home dying a few days after installation. Otherwise, how do you know that it's caused by you smartmeter? And what study are you referring to? Could you please give me its name, year and author? Finally, do you realize that the scientific method is designed specifically to eliminate bias?

  • @Tamizushi i dont have to look to industry funded researchers.im watching the destruction with my own eyes.dont be an idiot.they have real nonindustry studies proving damage at much less exposures.get a real education.or quit your schill job and join the rest of humanity.you are gravely misinformed

  • @jacmunbong The main known microwave effect on human body is heating. Nothing suggest that the amount of microwave emitted would have the effect you are describing on on human or wild life. Meanwhile, everything we know suggest that green house gasses does have a significant effect on human life and will have an even bigger effect in the future. Stop spreading/paying attention to incendiary speeches and listen to what biologists and climatologists have to say instead.
