Massachusetts Wind Turbine Sleep Deprivation Similar To Abu Ghraib

Massachusetts Wind Turbine Sleep Deprivation Similar To Abu Ghraib

The picture above of a US prisoner is internationally famous. The picture is hard to look at but it is a fact of what happened in US prisoner of war camps in recent history.

The United States torture techniques included a sleep deprivation program that people were exposed to including types of noise. Commercial wind turbines have been known since 1987 to produce several types of noise called nuisance noise, human annoyance aka infra sound and Massachusetts state regulatory noise measured in decibels.

The Abu Ghraib sleep deprivation program was not an isolated incident, but was part of a wider pattern of torture and brutal treatment at American overseas detention centers. Likewise Massachusetts has twenty one communities with poorly placed commercial wind turbines. The neighbors describe the noise from the wind turbines as torture from lack of sleep.

The agenda of sleep deprivation was to extract information from prisoners. The residents living around commercial wind turbines in Massachusetts for the last seven years have complained of sleep deprivation because of the noise. The residents living around the turbines have become prisoners in their own homes.

The sleep deprivation plan placed prisoners on a program of sleep - meal management. The program allowed the individual to sleep only small blocks of time no more than four hour blocks in a twenty four hour time frame. Similarly residential home owners living near commercial wind turbines complain of waking up all during the night or unable to stay out in their yards during the daylight hours while the turbines are operating.

Falmouth, Massachusetts is ground zero for poorly placed commercial wind turbines in the United States

Sleep deprivation was used by the military because it makes a person more suggestible, reduces psychological resistance and it reduces the body’s capacity to resist pain.

Sleep deprivation is a very effective torture technique and causes impaired memory and cognitive functioning, decreased short term memory, speech impairment, hallucinations, psychosis, lowered immunity, headaches, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, stress, anxiety and depression. These same symptoms are the complaints of residents living around commercial wind turbines. It is known worldwide as wind turbine syndrome.

Massachusetts state and local officials since 2005 have known about the two types of wind turbine noise human annoyance and state regulatory noise. The state had a political agenda of 2000 megawatts of commercial wind turbine energy by the year 2020. The agenda required the placement of around 3000 wind turbines statewide. Today that wind turbine program has ground to almost a halt with less than 100 of the 3000 wind turbines needed by the year 2020. The agenda has switched to Solar.

The failure of the state to attain 2000 megawatts of wind power by the year 2020 is in itself an admission of the catastrophic health and financial fiasco caused by an agenda gone horribly wrong.

Today in 2017 state and local officials deny any wrong doing letting the court system make all the decisions.

Falmouth spends up to $300,000.00 on litigation every six months to force the courts to shut down the wind turbines.

The Town of Falmouth hid noise warning letters, emails, maps, memos and documents and failed to file special permits that would have required additional studies and notifications to neighbors that would have stopped the poor installation of wind turbines.

Massachusetts department of health and local boards of health have sat on their hands, failing to act, afraid to disrupt the renewable energy agenda while residents for years have lost their health and property rights.

Massachusetts has created a second class group of citizens living around wind turbines in twenty one communities

The only recourse is the courts to protect consumers,combat fraud,corruption and protect civil rights from a commercial wind turbine agenda gone horribly wrong.

Don't let our politicians turn the state into another Abu Ghraib.

Comment by Frank Haggerty on January 29, 2017 at 3:26pm: — In the mid 1980s, Neil Kelley and his team thoroughly documented significant adverse health effects resulting from inaudible, very-low-frequency sound produced by a large wind turbine in Boone, N.C. This scientifically rigorous NASA and Department of Energy-sponsored study, in cooperation with MIT and four other prestigious universities, as well as the wind industry, has been conveniently dismissed as irrelevant by current wind developers, even though the study’s conclusions have never been disputed, and even though we now know that the large turbines being installed today do indeed generate clinically significant amounts of infrasound.

— Three more recent preliminary studies (Ambrose & Rand’s Falmouth, Mass., 2011; Shomer, Rand, et. al., Shirley project, Brown County, Wisconsin, 2012; Cooper, Bridgewater, Australia, 2014 ) of projects with large modern upwind turbines have replicated and confirmed Kelley’s findings; i.e., infrasound, not audible sound, is a major contributor to the health fallout from today’s industrial wind projects.

Maine Center For Public Interest Reporting – Three Part Series: A CRITICAL LOOK AT MAINE’S WIND ACT

******** IF LINKS BELOW DON'T WORK, GOOGLE THEM*********

(excerpts) From Part 1 – On Maine’s Wind Law “Once the committee passed the wind energy bill on to the full House and Senate, lawmakers there didn’t even debate it. They passed it unanimously and with no discussion. House Majority Leader Hannah Pingree, a Democrat from North Haven, says legislators probably didn’t know how many turbines would be constructed in Maine if the law’s goals were met." . – Maine Center for Public Interest Reporting, August 2010 https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-power-bandwagon-hits-bumps-in-the-road-3/From Part 2 – On Wind and Oil Yet using wind energy doesn’t lower dependence on imported foreign oil. That’s because the majority of imported oil in Maine is used for heating and transportation. And switching our dependence from foreign oil to Maine-produced electricity isn’t likely to happen very soon, says Bartlett. “Right now, people can’t switch to electric cars and heating – if they did, we’d be in trouble.” So was one of the fundamental premises of the task force false, or at least misleading?" https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/wind-swept-task-force-set-the-rules/From Part 3 – On Wind-Required New Transmission Lines Finally, the building of enormous, high-voltage transmission lines that the regional electricity system operator says are required to move substantial amounts of wind power to markets south of Maine was never even discussed by the task force – an omission that Mills said will come to haunt the state.“If you try to put 2,500 or 3,000 megawatts in northern or eastern Maine – oh, my god, try to build the transmission!” said Mills. “It’s not just the towers, it’s the lines – that’s when I begin to think that the goal is a little farfetched.” https://www.pinetreewatchdog.org/flaws-in-bill-like-skating-with-dull-skates/

Sign up today and lend your voice and presence to the steadily rising tide that will soon sweep the scourge of useless and wretched turbines from our beloved Maine countryside. For many of us, our little pieces of paradise have been hard won. Did the carpetbaggers think they could simply steal them from us?

We have the facts on our side. We have the truth on our side. All we need now is YOU.
