BEES, BIRDS AND MANKIND Destroying Nature by ‘Electrosmog’

The press, as well as radio and television have been reporting of a wave of sickness that sweeps through Germany. Millions of people complain of all kinds of nervous disorders and of a new common illness, called "burnout syndrome". Even though the term "epidemics" is used, there is no due search for the causes. Instead, these symptoms are attributed to "stress" and "imagination". The extent of these health complaints, however, which according to a survey in 2014 affected 82% of the population, defies such an explanation and points to a genuine cause.
