[This is a parallel to Scientology.  If you are a group which wants to get attention, you have to beat your drum for an allegedly worthwhile cause. What could be more worthwhile than saving the world from ... psychs/cell phones/ etc.] Sect fights cell phones Members of the Universal Church view cellular phones as lethal weapons. Mobile communication is said to be product of a conspiracy. Zurich, Switzerland January 5, 2001 Tages-Anzeiger http://tages-anzeiger.ch by Hugo Stamm Adherents of the Universal Church (UC) have not only made headlines for anti-Semitic and racist statements, their fight against cellular phone antennae and electro-smog have made just a fanatical of an impression. (The Tages-Anzeiger has reported on that several times.) The cell phone heats up your brain, they wrote in a leaflet, as reported by the Beobachter. It was said that the cellular phone altered the brain's electrical currents and led to a premature death. Campaign in disguise? There is nothing discernible on the leaflet which indicates that members of the controversial esoteric sect are behind the operation. The document is signed by the World Foundation for Natural Science and the Radiation-free Switzerland (VS) organization. But both are branches or co-organizations of the UK. The president of the World Foundation is UK member Hans-Ulrich Hertel, who has also been convicted in court for making anti-Semitic statements. And the initiator of Radiation-Free Switzerland is Kurt Sieber, also a member of the UK. Various regional groups have already been founded. The UK branches also try to gain influence in group initiatives which voice their _object_ions against cellular phone antennae in valid ways. The UK fight against cell-phones has an ideological background. In the most recent VS newsletter it was claimed that the cellular phone's success is a strategy of the Zion and our state government, which is said to belong to the Zionists. This is another version of the anti-Semitic world conspiracy which was used by the Nazis to justify the Holocaust and the Second World War. This ineradicable historical lie which has been spread for years by rightwing extremists claims that Free Masons, secret lodges and, primarily, influential Jews, Zionists at that, are forming a secret world government. This covert force is said to have humanity in a stranglehold and is seizing domination worldwide, goes the story. The world conspiracy fantasies are experienced not only by rightwing extremists of a new order, but also by new pagan groups and radical esoterics. Infertile Men The UK adherents go on to claim that the secret world government is using mobile telephones to strongly reduce the world's population in that the signals are said to make men infertile. The idea behind that is glaringly clear to the UK adherents: a decimated population is all the more easy to manipulate.
