Electromagnetic Field Insurance Policy Exclusions Are The Standard as you can read below.

So if they have no insurance coverage for health, death, and environmental claims then WE THE PEOPLE have to consider other options. Fortunately, Daryl Guberman, a staunch critic of ANSI (Amer Nat’l Standards Institute), reveals that because ANSI recently acquired ANAB this now makes them an “underwriter” and states that they would then have liability for any product they certify. You can hear that information in this 9 min video: 

Consider the following information. First, they call themselves a “member-owned cooperative” yet allow said members no voice or choice in the form of electric meter FORCED onto their service address. This is not a small thing as providing electricity is an essential service for dignity and health! It doesn’t sound “member-owned” to me. When you add that the locals here in the Ozarks report freely that they were in fact “locked out of public meetings” and when they tried to get “one of our own on the board” that Carroll Electric “pulled some trickery to restrict those efforts”. Hmmmmm. Sounds like manipulation, deception and fraud doesn’t it? That usually indicates illlegal activity! You can’t lock “members” out of public meetings and restrict their choice while subjecting them to a form of meter that was “rejected at the federal level by the Austrian Chamber of Physicians AND The Swiss Physicians for the Environment for concerns that it is deadly with effects being both immediate and cumulative with the most vulnerable feeling it the soonest.”

According to locals the air here began screaming with a 24/7 high-pitched squeal soon after this meter system began being deployed, which science shows harms plant life. This meter system has vast implications in environmental woes and could be the cause of the Chronic Wasting Disease that showed up in the white tail deer as their project neared completion. Also they violated my civil rights by refusing to accommodate my “sensitivity” to this mess when my University of Texas Medical Doctor wrote them a letter stating that I can’t be around this” and have damaged my quality of life by my being FORCED to hear this constant noise which is likely damaging my hearing and could even lead to dementia. This seems to indicate the power lines are contaminated with many local stories shoring up this idea. DisabiltyRightsAR.org’s, Thomas Nichols, Legal Director stated that my “accommodation request was perfectly reasonable”. Instead the staff attorney for Carroll Electric wrote a letter asking if my doctor was also an electrician, as if their electricians are also doctors.

Two women here who worked many years in the same building died way too young. One of them 60 years old, was found with 5-8 masses on the same side of her head as an electric outlet abnormally high on the wall by her desk where she spent many hours. I took readings IN THE ELECTRIC OUTLETS with a Stetzer line noise meter after the first death and found DEADLY READINGS. Safe is around 30. The readings started in the 1500’s, jumped to 1900’s, then exceeded the limits of the meter which is 2000. The next woman, a beautiful, healthy, happy soul, 54 years old, dropped dead of a heart attack. You can learn more about this local story at: https://neighborsorganizingagainsttrespassingtechnology.blog/2023/04/18/this-shocking-website-content-went-to-governor-sarah-huckabee-sanders-the-arkansas-fish-game-commission-the-local-newspapers-and-put-in-the-hands-of-some-locals-a-few-law-firms-and-beyond/

You can see evidence of claims made by locals revealing the CORPORATE behavior of Carroll Electric Cooperative CORPORATION in this article below and it’s referenced complaint at the Public Service Commission, which also had a “duty” to protect the end user and failed to do so even when notified three years ago of the dangers being found here.

A “pattern of behavior” has gone on now for over a decade, while claiming to be a “member-owned cooperative” which would imply cooperation and a voice in important decisions AND informed consent regarding products that have the potential to harm. CECC has the DUTY to make sure they aren’t exposing their CUSTOMERS to harm. Again we ask, how did they come to decide on this form of meter? Regardless, it appears their antics leave them and them alone liable BECAUSE they didn’t allow any input. They MIGHT get away with this for a while in this world where Hunter Biden’s laptop is hidden from the mainstream news but I assure them, it has not gone unnoticed by GOD. The Arkansas Public Service Commission was notified of the dangers in December of 2019. You can view that notice at this link and see the “two sentence” reply I got back and not one link was likely viewed as the response was almost immediate. So, what does the Public Service Commission do if they don’t oversee the safety part of their commission?

If you’re a lawyer, please go look at the RICO Act information as a possible route to justice, if there is any anymore in the USA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racketeer_Influenced_and_Corrupt_Organizations_Act

Summary

The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act is a United States federal law that provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization.

Under RICO, a person who has committed “at least two acts of racketeering activity” drawn from a list of 35 crimes (27 federal crimes and eight state crimes) within a 10-year period can be charged with racketeering if such acts are related in one of four specified ways to an “enterprise.”^[1] Those found guilty of racketeering can be fined up to $25,000 and sentenced to 20 years in prison per racketeering count.^[2] In addition, the racketeer must forfeit all ill-gotten gains and interest in any business gained through a pattern of “racketeering activity.”^{[citation needed][3]}

A US Attorney who decides to indict someone under RICO has the option of seeking a pre-trial restraining order or injunction to temporarily seize a defendant’s assets and prevent the transfer of potentially forfeitable property and to require the defendant to put up a performance bond. That provision was placed in the law because the owners of Mafia-related shell corporations often absconded with the assets. An injunction or performance bond ensures that there is something to seize in the event of a guilty verdict.

A US Attorney who decides to indict someone under RICO has the option of seeking a pre-trial restraining order or injunction to temporarily seize a defendant’s assets and prevent the transfer of potentially forfeitable property and to require the defendant to put up a performance bond. That provision was placed in the law because the owners of Mafia-related shell corporations often absconded with the assets. An injunction or performance bond ensures that there is something to seize in the event of a guilty verdict.

In many cases, the threat of a RICO indictment can force defendants to plead guilty to lesser charges, in part because the seizure of assets would make it difficult to pay a defense attorney. Despite its harsh provisions, a RICO-related charge is considered easy to prove in court since it focuses on patterns of behavior, as opposed to criminal acts.^[4]

RICO also permits a private individual “damaged in his business or property” by a “racketeer” to file a civil suit. The plaintiff must prove the existence of an “enterprise.” The defendant(s) are not the enterprise; in other words, the defendant(s) and the enterprise are not one and the same.^[5] There must be one of four specified relationships between the defendant(s) and the enterprise: either the defendant(s) invested the proceeds of the pattern of racketeering activity into the enterprise (18 U.S.C. § 1962(a)); or the defendant(s) acquired or maintained an interest in, or control of, the enterprise through the pattern of racketeering activity (subsection (b)); or the defendant(s) conducted or participated in the affairs of the enterprise “through” the pattern of racketeering activity (subsection (c)); or the defendant(s) conspired to do one of the above (subsection (d)).^[6] In essence, the enterprise is either the ‘prize’, ‘instrument’, ‘victim’, or ‘perpetrator’ of the racketeers.^[7] A civil RICO action can be filed in state or federal court.^[8]

Both the criminal and the civil components allow the recovery of treble damages (triple the amount of actual/compensatory damages).

Although its primary intent was to deal with organized crime, Blakey said that Congress never intended it merely to apply to the Mob. He once told Time, “We don’t want one set of rules for people whose collars are blue or whose names end in vowels, and another set for those whose collars are white and have Ivy League diplomas.”^[4]

Original Source: https://ehtrust.org/key-issues/electromagnetic-field-insurance-policy-exclusions/

• Insurers rank 5G and electromagnetic radiation as a “high” risk, comparing the issue to lead and asbestos. A 2019 Report by Swiss Re Institute, a world leading provider of insurance, classifies 5G mobile networks as a “high”, “off-the-leash” risk stating, “Existing concerns regarding potential negative health effects from electromagnetic fields (EMF) are only likely to increase. An uptick in liability claims could be a potential long-term consequence” and “[a]s the biological effects of EMF in general and 5G in particular are still being debated, potential claims for health impairments may come with a long latency.” 
• Due to their understanding of the magnitude of this future financial risk most insurance plans have “electromagnetic field exclusions” applied as the market standard.  Portland Oregon Public School Insurance  (Pg 30) states as an example, ”Exclusions: This insurance does not apply to: Bodily injury, personal injury, advertising injury, or property damage arising directly or indirectly out of, resulting from, caused or contributed to by electromagnetic radiation, provided that such loss, cost or expense results from or is contributed to by the hazardous properties of electromagnetic radiation.”
• US Mobile operators have been unable to get insurance to cover liabilities related to damages from long term exposure to radiofrequency emissions for over a decade. 
• Wireless and non ionizing electromagnetic radiation are defined as a type of “pollution” by wireless companies themselves. According to pg. 10 of the  Verizon Total Mobile Protection Plan, “Pollution” is defined as  “The discharge, dispersal, seepage, migration or escape of pollutants. Pollutants means any solid, liquid, gaseous, or thermal irritant or contaminant including smoke, vapor, soot, fumes, acid, alkalis, chemicals, artificially produced electric fields, magnetic field, electromagnetic field, sound waves, microwaves, and all artificially produced ionizing or nonionizing radiation and/or waste.” We found similar definitions for pollution in the product protection plans for AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile and Asuria. Insurance companies themselves define electromagnetic fields as pollutants. Ironshore Environmental uses this definition, “Broad definition of Pollutants including mold, legionella, electromagnetic elds, radioactive materials medical, infectious and pathological wastes.”
• Wireless companies warn their shareholders of this potential future risk related to radiofrequency radiation exposure but they do not warn the users of these products, nor do they warn the people exposed to emissions from their products and infrastructure. These corporate investor warnings by companies such as  AT&T, Verizon, Vodaphone and Crown Castle  are contained in their Annual Reports filed on Form 10-K (or Form 20-F or 40-F for foreign companies) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and they clearly inform shareholders that companies may incur significant financial losses related to electromagnetic fields. Safety is not assured. 

Verizon Total Mobile Protection 

Electromagnetic Fields are defined as a “pollutant” by insurance companies and often require special coverage as a “pollutant” in policy enhancements.

Due to the high risk that electromagnetic (EMF) field exposure poses, most insurance companies do not cover electromagnetic fields and have very clear “electromagnetic field exclusions” (see linked list on this page.) EMFs are classified as a “pollutant” alongside smoke,  chemicals and asbestos. If you want insurance that will cover EMFs you have to purchase additional “Pollution Liability” or “Policy Enhancement” coverage.

 Underwriting LTD in London, the UK agent for Lloyd’s”]“The Electromagnetic Fields Exclusion (Exclusion 32) is a General Insurance Exclusion and is applied across the market as standard. The purpose of the exclusion is to exclude cover for illnesses caused by continuous long-term non-ionizing radiation exposure i.e. through mobile phone usage.” [/su_quote][/su_note]

See examples of “electromagnetic field policy exclusions” and of “pollution liability” policies which do cover- at additional cost- electromagnetic fields. Please be sure to scroll down to the end to see videos and other insurance documents that discuss the risk of EMF exposure.

According to Marsh Insurance Agency 2014 Report ELECTRONIC MAGNETIC FIELDS RISKS AND EXPOSURES AND POTENTIAL INSURANCE COVERAGE

• “In Marsh’s experience, If there is exposure in the USA, cover will be more restricted. Indeed, the US is often excluded entirely, especially for mobile operators. Occasionally losses-occurring policies for insureds with minimal EMF exposures remain silent and therefore potentially provide coverage. Following a positive risk assessment, a typical company should anticipate up to GBP200million to GBP250million for potential sums insured. The insurance markets in Germany and Belgium usually offer no higher than EUR10million of insurance coverage for EMF risks as a sub-limit under the general liability and environmental liability insurance policies. Markets may be more open to offering higher limits following a thorough and positive risk assessment. Reinstatement is possible but, again, this depends on the exposure and is unlikely to be available for a mobile operator or handset manufacturer. Major exclusions include diminution of property value and contractual liability, particularly where the insured company assumes major liabilities that would not normally accrue (e.g. assuming product liability for handsets).”

Read Complete Markets “Electromagnetic Fields (Utilities) Liability Insurance” that states:

• “Classified alongside chemicals, smoke, and asbestos as “pollutants” electromagnetic fields (EMF) poses a high risk to various persons such as users of electrical power, electrical power generating companies, power transmission companies, and large generators. Sources of possible EMF health risks include radio frequencies, extremely low frequencies, and static magnetic fields. In homes, EMF exposures come from electrical appliances. The public has targeted cell phone manufacturers and electric power lines as likely EMF targets. Electromagnetic Fields (Utilities) Liability Insurance is a way for prudent companies to minimize exposure to vexatious litigation and adverse publicity.
• “Electromagnetic field exclusions” are clear and common in most insurance companies. It is applied as a market standard. This exclusion serves to exclude cover for illnesses caused by long-term EMF (non-ionizing radiation) exposure. For EMF liability insurance cover you have to purchase additional “Pollution Liability” coverage. EMF liability insurance covers claims brought by third parties for body injuries and property claims by third parties. This policy does not pay for damage caused by artificially generated electromagnetic, magnetic and electrical energy that  damages, disrupts or interferes with any device, appliance, system, electronic wire or network utilizing satellite or cellular technology.”

 “Standard: Pollution, Asbestos, Electromagnetic fields

Due to potentially catastrophic losses and high clean up costs, product liability insurance contracts frequently exclude, whether partially or completely, the insured’s liability for asbestos, pollution and contamination, radiation and electromagnetic fields.

 

Most UK product liability insurance contracts implement the wording, either in its original or an adapted form, recommended by the Association of British Insurers to exclude liability for gradual pollution or contamination (such as long standing leaks from pipes or tanks).

 This wording excludes all liability for pollution or contamination other than that caused by “a sudden identifiable unintended and unexpected incident   which takes place in its entirety at a specific time and place during the period of insurance”.

“In Marsh’s experience the London markets are generally mixed in their approach to EMFs. Some will not provide any cover at all if a client has even a remote exposure but will remain silent i.e. providing insurance coverage by not excluding EMF risks from current insurance policies in all other instances. Others will only remain silent and never offer positive insurance cover or will provide positive cover ex US or remain silent across the board depending on the risk. This situation has not changed for several years. Although the insurance situation depends on the industry sector and details of the exposure, in general, cover is available in the London market on a claims-made, annual aggregate limit (with costs included in the limit) basis.”

In-Utero Exposure to Magnetic Fields Associated with Increased Risk of Obesity in Childhood, Kaiser Permanente July 27, 2012

“Pregnancy is a critical developmental stage that is among the most vulnerable periods to environmental exposures,” said De-Kun Li, MD, PhD, a perinatal epidemiologist with the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Division of Research in Oakland, Calif., and the lead author of the study. “These findings indicate that electromagnetic fields, from microwave ovens to countless wireless devices, may be contributing to childhood obesity risk. This finding could have implications for possibly reducing childhood obesity and better understanding the obesity epidemic. Like any scientific discoveries, the results need to be replicated by other studies.”

Study Finds Exposure to Magnetic Fields in Pregnancy Increases Asthma Risk, Kaiser Permanente August 1, 2011

“In this study, we observed a dose-response relationship between mother’s MF level in pregnancy and the asthma risk in her offspring. In other words, a higher maternal MF exposure during pregnancy led to a higher asthma risk in offspring,” Dr. Li said.
In this new study, the researchers also found that two known risk factors for asthma, maternal history of asthma and being the first-born child, exacerbated the MF effect on the asthma risk. “This finding further supports the MF-asthma association,” said Dr. Li.
