"Debriefing spies during The Cold War extended my military education into the full diversity of stealth microwave warfare and communication systems. I was previously aware of reports concerning dead birds in and around communication bases. On examination these birds were found to be cooked. Microwaves are the preferred medium for communication, over radiowaves, due to their superior penetrative properties and ability to carry more information.

"Our Government and the International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation (ICNIRP) classify microwaves as electromagnetic waves from 300 M Hz to 300 G Hz. (NRPB 2004).

"To my knowledge, 'microwave or radiowave sickness' was first reported in August 1932 with the symptoms of: severe tiredness, fatigue, fitful sleep, headaches, intolerability and high susceptibility to infection (Hecht, 2007). These symptoms were reported to be from athermal effects. Obviating these health risks mediated by what ever mechanisms seemed to be the rationale for those setting safety levels (Marino, 1995). Marino writes: '..... the present de facto in arriving at a determination of a safe exposure.' Marino's research (Marino, 1995 op.cit) was based on EMF exposure -radar and radios -on service personnel during World War II.

"During the Cold War the US Embassy in Moscow was irradiated with low level microwaves for many years; why and how is really outside the scope of this article. The consequences of this irradiation were multiple cancers / leukaemias and other illnesses among embassy staff and families. Professor John R Goldsmith, MD wrote the investigative report on this incident (Goldsmith, 1997). Professor Goldsmith wrote a corollary to his initial publication (Goldsmith ii -undated) where he described modern communications as 'The End of Innocence'. . .
