"Zombies. man. They creep me out." -Dennis Hopper in the Land Of The Dead.


Book Excerpt:


By William Thomas




They are everywhere.

And they are winning.

Walk down virtually any metropolitan street, if you still dare, and you will discern with a jolt of alarm that no one around you is aware of each other’s presence or their surroundings as they shuffle past with the shambling gait of automatons. Hearing blocked by blaring or blathering headsets, heads bent over cell phones, iPods, palm pilots, multimedia players, text messagers and other hypnotic gadgetry, these walking dead with their vacant stares are so far departed from the reality around them they don’t even know they’re gone.

Cell phone zombies are proliferating everywhere. Spread by the most virulent contagion on Earth ? the lust to own and continuously jack into wireless technology ? addictive endorphin jolts sent by cell phones to the brain threaten agonizing withdrawal, even as their invisible emanations attack the frontal lobes, short-circuiting memory, awareness and cognitive thought.

Succumbing to the identical marketing strategies marshaled by the same advertising agencies pushing tobacco onto children, hordes of cell phone zombies as young as four-years-old are replacing normal human relationships with the cold calculus of truncated text messages, while disturbing their sonic space and interrupting conversations with friends and spouses to jabber with ghosts who are not even present, even as they spread the blight of their second hand microwaves among the last pockets of cell phone resistance.

Unlike the flesh-munching ghouls depicted in Hollywood horror flicks, which die and "reanimate" through the transmission of the Solanum virus through a usually gruesome exchange of bodily fluids, "voodoo zombies" are created by potions and spells cast by Haitian hougnan priests.?

"Zombie powder," as Max Brooks notes in his essential ZOMBIE Survival Guide, "contains a very powerful neurotoxin" not unlike the pervasive brain-eating chemicals added to food, soft drinks and other drugs ? including (as we have seen elsewhere in this book) fluoride, aspartame and mercury. Separately and in combination, these insidious compounds are synergistically activated by pulsating electromagnetic emissions that mimic and override normal cellular functioning to destroy brain neurons and turn people into zombies.

Held entranced as their life force is leached away by devices eerily similar in size and shape to the voodoo dolls used to cast curses, cell phone zombies are especially dangerous, because unlike real Solanum-inducted zombies incapable of expressing feelings or speech, cell phone zombies can appear nearly normal when not jacked in. A real zombie, when it encounters you, "will home in like a smart bomb," Brooks explains, and start gnawing your face. A cell phone-voodoo zombie "will take a moment to try to figure out who or what you are."

Smiling a reflexive, unfelt apology for their intrusion ? even "growling if hurt or provoked" as Brooks describes ? many cell phone zombies "understand words; some even understand simple sentences [and] possess the ability to speak ? simply, of course ? and rarely for extended conversations."


TILL DEATH DO YOU APART
While not known to devour human flesh like "real" zombies, their mindless preoccupation with themselves, slavish fixation on meaningless distractions, and complete disregard for their rapidly deteriorating ecologic, economic and Constitutional environment threaten to spill from the worst zomboid infestations in the United States across the entire globe.

Certainly, the carnage caused by their mindless wars against non-threatening nations on which American zombies project their paranoia is consuming bone and gristle, hopes and dreams by the boxcar loads. With more than one million people ? mostly children ? killed in Iraq since 2003 by zombie-like GIs hopped up on anti-malarial pills and Dexedrine, fear, stress, exhaustion and the potent spells of patriotism and "revenge" for non-existent crimes, America’s blindly-following zombie legions are as dangerous to any country they overrun as the horrors described by Brooks in his best-selling account of the zombie wars.

CELL PHONE CARNAGE
Still, innocent bystanders and drivers can be at grave risk from deranged zombies talking on their cell phones while operating heavy fast-moving vehicles.

In cities that have not yet disarmed cell phone-brandishing drivers, the resulting daily carnage is as gory as any scene out of "Night Of The Living Dead". Stunned by an additional $4 billion a year in claims for drivers using cell phones, North American insurers discovered that juggling phones while driving is not causing a 600% increase in accidents. Other drivers busy shaving, applying makeup, tuning radios, taming pets, pouring coffee, eating meals, retrieving dropped cigarettes, talking to passengers or attempting various sexual gymnastics are even more preoccupied.

Cell phones are much worse than lmerely dangerous driving distractions. Tests conducted by the U.S. Department of Energy found that using a cellphone turns drivers into zombies, severely impairing their memories and reaction times by disrupting signals to and within their brains. Hands-free mobile phones cause even more crashes because they typically emit 10-times more brainwave interference than handheld units.

Phoning from inside a car or truck is a bad call for everyone in the vehicle ? especially children ? because the surrounding steel structure amplifies cellphone emissions. The UK House of Commons Science and Technology Committee reports, "using a mobile phone in a vehicle can accelerate radiation levels by up to 10-fold due to resonance effect."

For all drivers dialing out, Swiss researchers have found "changes of brain function induced by pulsed high-frequency electromagnetic fields outlast the exposure period." University of Toronto investigators report that the heightened probability of cracking up your car persists for up to a half-hour after completing a call.

That’s comparable to the risk of crashing while driving dead drunk exclaims Dr. Chris Runball, chairman of the B.C. Medical Association’s emergency medical services committee.

"Talking on a cell phone makes you drive like a retiree even if you're only a teen," reports the University of Utah, after finding that when motorists as young as 18 talk on their cell phones, "they drive like elderly people, moving and reacting more slowly and increasing their risk of accidents." Only hands-free phones were used in the study.

"If you put a 20-year-old driver behind the wheel with a cell phone, his reaction times are the same as a 70-year-old driver," says David Strayer, a University of Utah psychology professor and principal author of the study. "It's like instant aging." (Except studies have shown older, more experienced drivers are much more cautious ? and safer ? than testosterone-addled teens.) [AP Feb 2/05; Human Factors Winter/05]

Cell phone users are also as impaired as alcoholics. The quarterly journal Human Factors and Ergonomics Society reports that motorists talking on cell phones are actually more impaired than drunk drivers with blood-alcohol levels exceeding 0.08. It doesn't matter whether the phone is hand-held or hands free.

EM engineer Alasdair Philips of Britain’s Powerwatch looked for people under age 40 using cell phones more than four hours a day, and found them already retired as "unfit for future work" due to early onset dementia. Philips says, "I would rate over four hours per day cell-phone use as potentially as dangerous as drinking a bottle of spirits per day ? only it will damage the user’s brain function rather than kidney function, and we don’t yet have brain transplants."

SAFETY TIP: Protect yourself from zombies operating motor vehicles! If you are driving and spot someone using a cell phone in a vehicle nearby, pull off the road and seek cover as soon as it is safe to do so. Or maneuver behind that driver and increase your distance accordingly. Do not open fire. "Self-defense" is not yet a legal defense for shooting drivers wielding cell phones.


PHONING FETUSES
If infants are born zombies, we are doomed. In the world’s most extensive, government-funded report on cell phone radiation, biomedical expert Dr. Stan Barnett described cell phone radiation effects on fetal tissue. After its release in June 1994 by a reluctant Australian government, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) described laboratory tests as far back December 1974 showing how neurons in the soft skulls of developing fetuses are extremely sensitive to heat during the process of cell division.

"The mother’s pelvic structure promotes deep RF radiation penetration and that radiation can be absorbed within the developing embryo or fetus," Dr. Barnett warned. The womb’s saline fluid is also highly conductive to Radio Frequencies and microwaves ? and the EMF-conductive human body is 65% water-by-weight. [CSIRO June 1994; irf.univie.ac.at/emf]]

Whether cell phone radiation cooks the baby’s brain or destroys its rapidly dividing brain cells through microwave radiation, "the resulting neural deficit may not be restored," Dr. Barnett found. Perhaps not wanting to terrify the public, he neglected to add that this fetal brain damage from cell phones could easily lead to zombification. But he did add that though the fetus may continue to develop and appear normal, her brain functioning may be reduced for life. [EMFacts Consultancy Mar 26/03]

PhD Robert Kane points to corroborative research showing that all fetuses "showed growth retardation from cell phone exposure" ? with female offspring exhibiting the highest risk of "impaired learning ability." When we recall that cell phone zombies speak largely in clichés, corporate jingles and broken sentences we can see how insidiously far-reaching this process has already gone.

Associated Bioelectromagnetics Technologists findings also show that RF exposure from cell phones and cell phone relay towers "is wholly correlated with the repeatedly documented increased incidence of autism ? now reported by at least some researchers as greater than 1 per 100 newborn."

God have mercy on us all. If one in a hundred infants are not actually autistic but hard-to-differentiate zombies ? we may find ourselves overwhelmed within another generation.


TOASTED TOTS
No one saw it coming. At first a cumbersome novelty, then a faddish convenience, the turning point in the zombification of humanity came designer sunglasses for women in 2006, when corporate hougnan witch doctors casting microwaves began targeting the newborn. Already brain damaged by forced mercury injections in multiple infant vaccines, armani sunglasses 2012 these newly arrived humans were taken home and bathed in electromagnetic smog invisibly spread by wireless routers, portable phones and intercom "sentries" placed in close proximity to their cribs.

The next step in their zombification came in putting cuddly "kiddy" phones capable of speed-dialing grandma and grandpa into the grasping hands of four year-olds. Soon, humans just out of the womb will no doubt be taking congratulatory calls at their mother’s breasts.

Some of us tried to resist. The MO1 developed by the toy company Imaginarium and telcom giant Telefónica in Spain prompted parental groups across Europe to demand a government ban on inflicting cell phones on children. Jóvenes Verdes, an environmental advocacy group for young Spanish persons, denounced the mobile telephone industry for "acting like the tobacco industry by designing products that addict the very young."

In Paris, where the curvy crimson-and-blue MO1 "beginner" mobile phone for 6-year-olds has overcome defenders by promising "peace of mind" ? or maybe no mind at all ? the French health minister has issued a public warning against "excessive" mobile phone use by young children. "I believe in the principle of precaution," muttered Monsieur Bachelot. "If there is a risk, then children with developing nervous systems would be affected. I've alerted parents about the use of mobile telephones because it's absurd for young children to have them."

Also concerned about the zombification of the young, Frank Barnes, a professor of engineering at the University of Colorado who led a study showing that children are at special risk from cell phones, told the press: "This clearly is a population that is going to grow up gucci sunglasses 2012 with a great deal of larger exposure than anybody else because the kids use the phones all the time."


TARGETING CHILDREN
Responding to relentless advertising spells and giveaways, the age of cell phone users continues to drop as fast as their IQ and attention span. In 2007, the average age of first-time "users" was 10. Within the next two years, International Data Corp forecasts the 9-and-under market will rack up an additional $1.6 billion in revenue for cell phone companies ? and add another nine million child zombies in the United States alone.

Despite desperate rear-guard stands, the last holdouts against child zombification in the European Union are crumbling. As Dorjeen Carvajal reports, "Telephone use is also getting more precocious in Europe, according to a Eurobarometer survey of almost 1,000 children in 29 countries, most of whom had telephones after age 9."

The mobile telephone industry "is reaching deeper into saturated markets to tap customers with chubby hands capable of cradling both dolls and phones," Carvajal comments. As cell phone users in their ‘tweens and teens drive subscriber- growth everywhere, International Data Corp projects that by 2010, 31 million children could become zombies from holding miniature microwave ovens to their vulnerable soft brain tissue.

Targeting the youth market for zombification is especially cynical because children treat their microwave phones like a doudou or stuffed animal companion, the French mobile phone trade association AFOM revealed after surveying the habits of children too young to discriminate against dangers proffered by adults they trust.

Cell phone-toting tots also spend more of their parent’s money on the latest games, ring tones and wallpapers ? and teens chatter even more than adults on their cell phones, greatly increasing cell phone company profits. Not to mention their own risks of developing allergies, senility, cataracts, learning disabilities, hyper activity disorders and brain tumors. [Intl Herald Tribune Mar 7/08]

Brain-damaging cell phone exposure continues through childhood. A 1996 study probing the "Electromagnetic Absorption in the Human Head and Neck for Mobile Telephones at 835 and 1900 MHz," conducted by the fabulously named Dr. Om Gandhi showed electromagnetic radiation from cell phones "coupling" even more alarmingly with the electrically active brains of children, than through the thicker carapaces of cumulatively compromised adults.

"I didn’t know at the time industry was targeting children as the next growth segment. Boy, they really got after me," Dr. Gandhi says, after he found that the thinner outer ears and skulls of children allow more energy from their cell phones to short-circuit delicate brain tissue. "The reason industry doesn’t like it," Gandhi explains ? "They don’t want to lose this part of the market." [IEEE Transactions of Microwave Theory and Techniques Oct/96]

"We're pretty bullish on increased usage by teenagers," exudes Adam Guy, a senior analyst at the Strategist Group. "Usage penetration is exploding."

So is brain penetration. Guy’s gushing followed yet another study ? this one published in the Journal of Cellular Biochemistry ? found that heavy cell phone use can cause brain cancer and other diseases in children, as well as adults by interfering with DNA repair

Speaking directly to cell phone zombification and death, Dr. Theodore Litovitz, a biophysicist and professor emeritus of physics at Catholic University, explains: "Because stress proteins are involved in the progression of a number of diseases, heavy daily cell-phone usage could lead to great incidence of disorders such as Alzheimer's and cancer."

A ZOMBIE CASE HISTORY
In Claysburg, Pennsylvania, Greg Pozgar resisted buying a mobile phone for his then 12-year-old daughter, Morgan. "My biggest concern was whether my children were responsible enough to handle it," he said.

No one told him to worry about its emanations.

After receiving her first cell phone as a Christmas gift that year, young Morgan went on to become a champion of text messaging at age 13 in a national $25,000 competition organized by the electronics manufacturer LG. This is the company that in 2007 made Europe’s "fashion handset of choice" by offering a "Chocolate phone" featuring an advanced touchscreen interface, instead of conventional keypad.

Competing Motorola’s V220's Tri-Band promises "network connection" between zombies-under-construction in countries becoming saturated in brain numbing electrosmog. The "stylish" V220 offers chic brain damage, exciting car crashes, no-fear-of-pregnancy sterility or classic cancer ? in pink.

After hesitating over heath concerns, Disney has also jumped into the kiddy cell phone sweepstakes. Mattel markets a Barbie cell phone for girls 8 to 14. "Nine-year-old Trey Chapman loves the cool design, flashing lights and big buttons ? one for mom and one for dad," chuckled USA Today. How well Ms. Chapman will enjoy her daughter’s reduced learning ability, asthma and other potentially debilitating maladies was not mentioned. [USA Today Mar 14/05]

Verizon has also responded with its popular "parent capable" LG VX8300. The "Chaperone" cell phone puts the "home" in Homeland Security. Now parents can harass their kids with text messages while tracking them through GPS satellite locators built into their continuously radiating cell phones. Every time a young family member enters or leaves an electronically designated "Child Zone", participating parents receive automated text messages informing them of their child’s movements ? "So you can relax wherever you are." [verizonwireless.com; Intl Herald Tribune Mar 7/08]

Whether this home surveillance puts a crimp in the sexually transmitted diseases currently afflicting one in four American teenage girls, or their nearly one-in-three pregnancies before the age of 20 remains to be seen. [Reuters Apr 23/08]

The good news and the bad news is that cigarettes are being replaced by mobile phones. Unable to afford both addictions, teen smoking fell off sharply in 1996 ? the same year mobile phone use skyrocketed among 15- to 17-year-olds. And no wonder, since cell phones are marketed by the same ad agencies using the same self-image come-ons that attracted teens to cigarettes ? a sense of individuality and sociability, a desire to rebel, the need to bond with friends.
[British Medical Journal Nov 4/00]

Totally hooked, Morgan now sends and receives up to 7,000 text messages a month.


AVOIDANCE THE ONLY DEFENCE
After the Spanish Neuro Diagnostic Research Institute in Marbella discovered that a call lasting just two minutes can alter the natural electrical activity of a child's brain for up to an hour afterwards, Spanish doctors now fear that disturbed brain activity in children will lead to zombie-like impaired learning ability, as well as psychiatric and behavioural problems.

Brain scans allowed Dr. Michael Klieeisen’s team to see what is happening to the brains of cell phone users. "We never expected to see this continuing activity in the brain," he told the European press in new stories blacked out in the U.S. "We are worried that delicate balances that exist ? such as the immunity to infection and disease ? could be altered by interference with chemical balances in the brain."

The study coincided with a survey showing 87% of 11- to 16-year-olds own cell phones, with 40% of them spending 15 minutes or more talking on them every day. A troubling 70% said they would not change the use of their phone even if advised to by the government.

A British government adviser on mobiles, Dr. Gerald Hyland, finds the results "extremely disturbing." Parents who believe they are enhancing their children’s safety and social standing by sending them back to school with cellphones could be impairing their health and ability to learn, Dr. Hyland warns. "The results show that children's brains are affected for long periods even after very short-term use. Their brain wave patterns are abnormal and stay like that for a long period. This could affect their mood and ability to learn in the classroom if they have been using a phone during break time, for instance."

These same altered brain waves "could lead to things like a lack of concentration, memory loss, inability to learn and aggressive behaviour."

He could be describing zombies!

"There really isn't a safe amount of mobile phone use," Dr. Hyland continues. We don't know what lasting damage is being done by this exposure. If I were a parent I would now be extremely wary about allowing my children to use a mobile even for a very short period. My advice would be to avoid mobiles." [Mirror Dec 26/01]


AN OCEAN APART
It’s not like nobody knows how dangerous cell phones are. Perhaps because of earlier unpleasant experiences with vampires, European governments are intensely studying the effects of cell phones on otherwise normal humans. So far, their scientists have found everything from nervousness and headaches to brain tumors and even genetic damage resulting from cell phone radiation. [Independent Mar 30/08]
