Burning Skin? Nausea? Headaches? PROTESTORS BEWARE

Thanks Snorbs. And you've proved what I've always known - ironing just isn't worth the risk.

Thanks for that earwicga. Right, so according to the docs that meter measures magnetic flux in nT (nano Tesla) and it appears that peacelovingmother's meter is in magnetic flux mode.

The World Health Organisation says here that the safe limit for magnetic flux at 50Hz is 100µT (micro Tesla). So the WHO's safe limit is some 330 times greater than that measured by peacelovingmother.

Also, magnetic flux falls off very sharply over distance (inverse square law). Again, according to the WHO, a 300nT reading could be obtained 30cm away from an electric steam iron. But 100cm away that would fall to 30nT.

peacelovingmother, have you tried turning off everything mains-powered in your house and then taking a reading again? And do you live near to any underground or overhead power-lines?

I don't know enough about an of this to make a call either way, but I think Snorbs will understand the meter measures and can report back.

It's a shame that I think so little of our government, based on other things they do, that I can believe something like this is possible. But sadly anything is possible.

I could see an aeroplane. I see them a lot. OP, if you are reading this, please do consider speaking to your doctor about these things. Maybe you're right and you are being targeted, but maybe you are living in a scary world when you don't need to be. I wish you well.

Remarkable!

i have no sound but could clearly see an airplane.

and "UFOs's"?????

Can I recommend everybody watch the other video on YOUtube from the OP

It is a 13 second classic.

Do not miss it.

good spot E

I'd mistaken an 8 for a B - this is the meter.

"Lots of what I have read about 9/11 gives me major doubts."

not sure if this will have any effect on you but there is a saying that paper never refuses ink.

i could write a book saying that i was born an elephant and had surgery to humanise me aged 4. it wouldn't be true but the paper wouldn't know that. not everything you read is true. people often write things according to their own agenda.

Snorbs - looks from the video that the meter is a Solutions ME30308, but google has no results for it.

peacelovingmother, when your meter is showing 300, what are the units? And what frequency range is it picking up?

Whatever the cause, her doctor should get to the bottom of it.

Sorry, Ambarth, my rant X-posted with you.

I sympathise with that nice cage, but this is also very typical of mental ilness. I have a lot of experience of MH , both in my work and family.

Sorry, significance of deliberate press stories is that intentionally demonising a particular group through the press is usually a preface to something much nastier.

Honestly? I'd broadly agree that MH issues are very possible here.

With the caveat that, on the occasions that real shit does happen, accusing the subject of paranoia is exactly how most observers would react.

It doesn't help that there are actual - I won't call them conspiratorial but certainly not publicly debated - plans to slash state and private insurance support for sick people.

And it doesn't help that this and the previous govt have been actively placing stories in the press to associate disability with fraud (as I discovered when I complained about a BBC story and the sweet but naive reporter kindly replied that a govt press office had approved the story).

I can't tell what sort of disability rights work the OP has done (does she say and I'm missing it?) She identifies her local council as her persecutors, but here's no reason someone can't be genuinely persecuted and misidentify the perpetrators.

So in this instance I may broadly agree about possible MH, but I'd also put money on disability campaigners becoming the sort of target environmental campaigners have been.

It is inappropriate to be flippant and take the piss out of a woman who is likely to be suffering from psychosis.

OP please see your doctor. There are tablets that can deal with this very effectively.

How terrifying.

Anyone who finds this funny should hang their head in shame.

Its not about a few ramps or minor things like that, its about shutting down the few people who are anti establishment and who work to educate the masses about how their rights are being ignored. Its about the bigger picture. Whole revolutions started out on a very small scale and grew into something bigger and that is ultimately what all governments and controlling powers fear. So its about shutting it down at the root point to avoid it growing, that is why these situations are so plausible.

The OP may indeed need psychiatric assessment but she may just be telling the truth too.

No I don't think that at all TIANC - I was trying to be flippant, tongue in cheek, and funny. (that's still allowed isn't it? Only you never can tell on here. ) The comment was supposed to refer to the fact that she seems to have been campaigning at a local level as her council don't like her. If this was a serious thread about disability rights and the wider implications of cuts then of course I would not have made such a comment. But I do think the OP is a little deluded about how much of a concern she is to the authorities - don't you?

Sorry, I don't expect everyone to be expert in issues that don't affect them.

But the flip side of not knowing anything is that you then can't dismiss said issues - you don't know enough to pass judgement.

"I'm just not sure that the OP campaigning for more wheelchair ramps outside M&S in Slough or wherever, would be terribly high on their agenda"

Blardy hell.

So that "Stop the Abolition of DLA" thread doesn't appear on your MN, then, Fellatio? And R*n's just away for a little holiday in the sun?

I attended this demo last month against massive cuts and ATOS. There were about as many police as protestors, plus plain clothes cops who seemed to be in authority (they gathered uniform for a little meeting right by where I was lying). They'd prepared a huge response, from the looks of things.

I can't comment on the OP's situation or mental health, but fuck me you must have your head up your arse if you think ramps in M&S are top of the list for disabled people right now.

Fanny, you make so much sense. I doubt we shall see the OP again, though.
