SHOW INTRODUCTION What does the plan for the aerial spraying of California communities to eradicate a moth have to do with health risks coming from wireless technologies? Much, as you will soon discover. After the aerial spraying of two counties in California, citizens organized around the glaring health effects to mount a resistance to prevent it from happening again. Here we have a clear and present danger. They spray and people get really sick, birds and bees die. In the second instance, we have the introduction of a new technology with enormous popularity that is affecting a more discreet population with symptoms that are harder to identify with the event of it’s introduction. Think of the lobster in a pot being brought to a boil slowly. In both instances there is a large body of scientific research and many experts warning about the injurious effects of continuing and very large moneyed people who stand to benefit. In both instances people are being experimented on without their consent and the government is complicit.
