FAA questions air safety and 5G

blogmeister Uncategorized

WASHINGTON (Reuters) –  The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has raised significant concerns about a plan to use spectrum for 5G wireless networks on aviation safety and is planning to issue a formal warning about the issue, according to sources and a letter seen by Reuters.

The aviation industry has voiced alarm about the plan to use C-Band spectrum for more than a year. Network carriers are expected to begin using the spectrum starting Dec. 5 starting in 46 markets.

FAA Deputy Administrator Bradley Mims in a previously unreported Oct. 6 letter said the agency shares “the deep concern about the potential impact to aviation safety resulting from interference to radar altimeter performance from 5G network operations in the C band.”

An FAA spokeswoman said Friday it “continues to engage with other agencies so that aviation and the newest generation of 5G cellular technology can safely coexist.”

The Federal Communications Commission said Friday it remains committed to ensuring air safety as the agency’s successful track record demonstrates, while moving forward with the deployment of new technologies that support American business and consumer needs.”

The FAA held a lengthy Oct. 14 meeting with the aviation industry on the issue. FAA and FCC officials have held numerous discussions about the issue, the sources said.

The FAA is planning to soon issue a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin and an airworthiness directive about the issue, two officials told Reuters, confirming a Wall Street Journal report.

The aerospace and airline sector met with the FCC in August https://ecfsapi.fcc.gov/file/1081157361951/Aviation%20and%20Aerospace%20Ex%20parte%20Notice%20Aug%206%202021%20w%20OET%20WTB%20IB.pdf, warning without changes “major disruptions to use of the National Airspace System can be expected from the rollout of 5G” and added the FAA will be forced to “drastically reduce aviation operational capacity.” 

Wireless trade group CTIA said Friday 5G networks can safely use C-band spectrum “without causing harmful interference to aviation equipment,” and cited numerous active 5G networks using this spectrum band in 40 countries… Any delay in activating this spectrum risks America’s competitiveness.”

One longer-term solution is retrofitting some altimeters with “out-of-band filters,” but it would likely take years and “many thousands of civil aircraft are likely to be impacted, the aviation industry said.

Historic Win’: CHD Wins Case Against FCC on Safety Guidelines for 5G and Wireless

blogmeister Uncategorized , , , ,

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit court ruled the Federal Communications Commission failed to provide a reasoned explanation for its determination that its current guidelines adequately protect against harmful effects of exposure to radiofrequency radiation.

This is an historic win. The FCC will have to re-open the proceeding and for the first time meaningfully and responsibly confront the vast amount of scientific and medical evidence showing that current guidelines do not adequately protect health and the environment.

The court’s decision continued to say:

 “…the FCC completely failed to acknowledge, let alone respond to, comments concerning the impact of RF radiation on the environment…The record contains substantive evidence of potential environmental harms.”

The petitioners in the case filed 11,000 pages of evidence of harm from 5G and wireless technology which the FCC ignored, including evidence of already existing widespread sickness. This historic case was filed by CHD on Feb. 2, 2020. The case challenged the agency’s decision not to review its 25-year-old radio-frequency emissions (RF) guidelines which regulate the radiation emitted by wireless technology devices (such as cell phones and iPads) and infrastructure (cell towers, Wi-Fi and smart-meters), and to promulgate biologically and evidence-based guidelines that adequately protect public health.

CHD’s lawsuit was filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. However it was transferred to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit where it was joined with a similar lawsuit filed by the Environmental Health Trust and Consumers for Safe Cell Phones. The main brief and the reply brief were filed jointly by all petitioners.

GMO and gene editing: altering ecosystems

blogmeister gmo , , ,

The genetic engineering process, including gene-editing, creates new entities that have not previously occurred in Nature. When these organisms leave the lab either on purpose or by accident and enter our environment, they may replicate and become a permanent part of Nature’s gene pool. We don’t know how they will interact and impact various ecosystems and typically have no way to recall or remove them without inflicting further environmental damage.

A recent Department of Homeland Security report (DHS, 2020) acknowledged gene-editing technology, including CRISPR, as “a major scientific advance” that gives scientists the ability to “manipulate DNA far beyond previous technology and has opened the door to rapid development in the field of molecular biology.” The report states that gene-editing “has the potential to greatly help or greatly harm the United States.”

The current Regulatory Framework used to approve and regulate GMOs in the US largely ignores numerous shortcomings and side effects of the underlying technology. While the public mistakenly believes that GMOs, like medicines, are extensively tested and shown to be safe, that is currently not the case. The framework was never designed to properly assess the potential long-term impacts on health or the environment. The massive loopholes in the regulatory policy allow the release of genetically modified organisms into the environment with only cursory consideration of their potential environmental impact; this presents significant and unprecedented risks. These risks are particularly striking in the case of microbes.

The Pilot vs. the Pilot Program

Mother’s Day 2021 Voices of Experience

Nina Anderson: The Pilot vs. the Pilot Program

Speaking of tobacco scientists who work for the wireless industry, step-mother Nina Anderson was one of the first women to work as a corporate pilot, at one point flying for Phillip Morris cigarettes. Fast forward a few decades, and in 1995 she founded “The Scientific Alliance for Education.” Her organization focuses on educating the public and providing information that allows individuals to make educated decisions for a course of action. Located in the tri-state corner of the Berkshires, her organization serves MA, CT, and NY, with past educational/ outreach efforts including indoor air pollution, GMOs, and lead paint. SafeHelpsYou is the arm of her organization addressing wireless health risks. Nina single-handedly lobbied her town to establish a smart meter moratorium when she became aware of the Worcester Ngrid pilot, which was foisted on the community without knowledge and consent of the residents. She was especially concerned that Philip Morris tobacco scientist Peter Valberg was the expert who testified before the Worcester Zoning Board to override citizen health concerns. She is actively involved on the 5G issue, working to assist Sheffield to update their telecom bylaws to reflect issues regarding small cells. Like many communities, current bylaws are inadequate for 5G and other telecom expansionist plans. Concerns recently raised in California include overloading poles, proximity to homes, property values, health,  fire risks, lack of insurance, the carbon footprint /energy consumption of wireless, ADA issues, lack of inspection and maintenance, and the fact that deployment does not address the digital divide. 5G does not facilitate voice data or internet connectivity – it only increases download speeds for video, it’s unreliable in bad weather, it’s not cyber secure, and it contributes to climate change because it requires electricity to many more antennas. Nina explains:

The telecommunications industry is engaged in a massive deployment of microwave and millimeter-wave “small cell” antennas across the county to facilitate the next generation of wireless communications known as 5G. This new technology uses existing wireless infrastructure and new types of millimeter radiofrequency (RF) radiation to transmit large amounts of data, but requires significantly closer proximity to users, resulting in the dense deployment of antennas near residences, schools, and hospitals. Because of their short-range transmissions, 5G units may be spaced as close as one every five homes on existing telephone poles. These units can be as large as small refrigerators. 5G will use sub 6Ghz band and mmWave bands so 5G signals will not be able to penetrate buildings and wooded areas. Therefore, many trees may have to be cut down for reliable service. This is not acceptable for our rural landscape. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has not conducted any long-term safety testing of new 5G wireless technologies and has failed to update its human RF microwave radiation exposure guidelines since 1996, despite being advised to do so by the U.S. General Accounting Office (GAO), the American Academy of Pediatrics, and hundreds of medical and scientific experts from around the world. The telecommunications industry leaders have publicly admitted that they have not conducted any safety tests to determine the possible adverse health and environmental effects from exposure to RF non-ionizing millimeter waves emitted by 5G-enabled small cell antennas.

5G on your house in exchange for free Wifi Not Good!

blogmeister 5G , , , , ,

Please Make This a Priority —
No Matter How Busy You Are

Dr. Kent Chamberlin, Professor Emeritus and former Chair, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of New Hampshire, will take us through the rigorous legislative investigation NH into 5G and wireless technology.

Like most, when he was assigned to the Commission, he though this would a “slam dunk” — there couldn’t possibly be anything wrong with wireless.

Their investigation of the science and risks documents otherwise.

The Urgency

The Environmental Health Trust and Children’s Health Defense are suing the FCC for ignoring the science, and the federal courts may finally force the FCC to bring their radiation exposure limits in line with the science. This does not bode well for the wireless industry.

So the industry is installing toxic 5G infrastructure as fast as they can in our communities, at close range to our bedrooms, classrooms and offices, before the judges rule.

We just measured the radiation levels in Boston’s historic North End yesterday and they are already in the Extreme Concern category of the Building Biology Precautionary Guidelines for Sleeping Areas. Those guidelines are established based on the peer-reviewed science.

We took power density peak measurement readings using the calibrated Safe & Sound Pro II Radiofrequency Meter, which measures in microWatts per square meter:

  • The No Concern level is less than 0.1
  • The Slight Concern level is 0.1 – 10
  • The Severe Concern level is 10 – 1,000
  • The Extreme Concern level is over 1,000

We were astounded to see peak readings in Boston of 33,000 to 613,000. The science shows it is these peak spikes of radiation at millions/billions of cycles per second that damage our biological cells.

It Gets Worse, Unfortunately

Not only is the wireless industry putting hazardous 4G/5G small cell antennas on poles in the public access way on neighborhood streets — they are already all over Boston and other cities — the FCC just changed the rules and now industry can incentivize residents to put a toxic cell antenna on their rooftops with no warning of the biological harm to people, pets, pollinators or the planet.

If you allow an antenna on your property, you will pulse radiation at yourself, your loved ones and your neighbors 24×7. Many begin to suffer insomnia, headaches, dizziness, anxiety, nausea, depression, anger, cognitive impairment, behavior issues and more when cell antennas go up. Most doctors haven’t been trained yet to treat electromagnetic illnesses so most patients are misdiagnosed.

As the NH report further reveals, wireless radiation is a neurotoxin and an immune suppressant, and long-term exposure can cause DNA damage, cancer, infertility and more. Children are especially vulnerable as their systems are still under development.

Please, Do Your Civic Duty

Mainstream media has conflicts of interest with industry, so you won’t hear the facts through popular channels. That is why it is critical that we listen to the non-industry experts including those who Dr. Chamberlin and the other NH Commissioners interviewed.

This is the first time in the U.S. a true, transparent investigation has been conducted by a legislative body and they debunk the industry’s disinformation campaigns.

Regardless of what you may currently think of the risks, please schedule an hour into your weekend to watch this upcoming discussion with Dr. Chamberlin.

Maybe start thinking about — if you are motivated by what you will hear — who else should also know: loved ones, neighbors, colleagues, your state and federal legislators, your local municipal boards, medical team and emergency responders.

Perhaps start researching emails and phone numbers of those you don’t already have…

There is Good News

We can learn to reduce the radiation exposures coming from our own devices. Our cell phones, DECT cordless phones, routers, baby monitors, gaming devices, wireless security systems, wearables, smart appliances, etc., all pulse this radiation 24×7.

With just a little education many decide to turn off all the antennas and hard-wire technology through cables and adapters, and/or keep devices in airplane mode and only take them out of airplane mode just long enough to send/receive new data.

So many adults and children see remarkable improvements in sleep, energy level, anxiety, depression, anger, headaches, behavior issues, communication disorders and more simply by choosing safe technology and minimizing the wireless radiation.

And, once you hard-wire with cables/adapters, you’ll notice you get a much better, faster, more reliable and secure connection.

For the areas we cannot directly control — cell towers, 4G/5G small cell antennas, utility “smart” meters — there are many efforts underway we can join or initiate to transition our communities to safe technology: legislation, lawsuits and local ordinance updates.

Stay tuned, we’ll be sending the video with Dr. Chamberlin this week. In the interim, feel free to explore the links in my signature. You’ll find the NH report, EMF Medical Conference, and Wireless Education quick training courses for schools, families and companies.

 

Thanks, as ever, for your time and consideration.

Lake Tahoe fights telecom

blogmeister 5G , , , , ,

Great research on the effects of wireless. They are fighting cell towers and small cell installations.

The Lake Tahoe Region faces severe scenic and environmental degradation thanks to profit-hungry telecom companies.

If successful, our lawsuit will prevent hundreds of cell towers and wireless antennas from being installed and destroying Lake Tahoe’s pristine ecosystem. Luckily, a safe and environmentally-friendly solution to wireless broadband already exists — fiber optic networks.

This will be a landmark lawsuit so if successful will be a model for other towns. Here is the link to their research. https://www.tahoeforsafertech.org/science

5G in question

blogmeister 5G , , , , ,

This article explains the subterfuge behind hiding the health risks of cell service and 5G: excerpt but worth a long read..

5G technology uses millimeter waves, along with microwaves (the type in current devices). Because 5G waves can only travel short distances, antennas and towers need to be installed every 300 to 600 feet on every block across the country, to receive and send signals. And this, Philips says, “increases the exposures exponentially.”

Joel Moskowitz, director of the Center for Family and Community Health at the University of California, Berkeley, says “because the technology is so new, we have no way to know about the long-term health effects. But we do know that millimeter waves are absorbed in our skin and on the cornea and can harm the immune, nervous, and cardiovascular systems.”

Dutch court: possibly increased health risks transmission tower

Breakthrough!

The judgment of the Gelderland District Court (AWB 19/2184) – in conjunction with judgment AWB 19/2213– on December 18, 2020 is of great importance because the court ruled that even (very broadly) increased health risks under the exposure guidelines are not excluded. The court also ruled that the health interests of local residents who are sensitive to radiation must be included in the weighing of interests. It is the first time in Dutch case law that the exposure limits are no longer leading due to advancing scientific insight. Earlier case law of the Department of the Council of State (Division) in which it always refers to an outdated expert report seems to have been discontinued. This statement offers opportunities for a new substantive discussion about the health effects of radiation,

Bulgaria city bans 5G

blogmeister 5G , , , ,

BULGARIA: Mezdra banned the 5G network – BNR, 1st January 2021 (auto-translation below)Mezdra became the second Bulgarian municipality after Balchik to ban the 5G network. According to the decision of the Municipal Council, taken at the end of last year, in 2021 in the municipality of Mezdra is prohibited the deployment, use, maintenance and development of 5G network and its facilities. The decision was voted on a proposal by Radoslav Marinov, a municipal councilor from the local coalition of the Ataka party and the Bulgarian Spring movement for radical change. The proposal was supported by a civil petition stating that the development of mobile networks of the new 4G and 5G generation can turn a person into an antenna transmitter, as well as that the use of mobile phones has repeatedly saturated the electromagnetic background, which affects human and animal health, atmospheric processes and environmental pollution. The subscription recommends that mobile operators reduce the prices of services and select devices individually for each customer.

Think 5G phones are safe? Think again!

blogmeister Uncategorized , , ,

We were skeptical about the new 5G phones which will still mostly operate on 5G to little benefit no matter what the telecom ads tell you. Now we find the exposure seems to exceed recognized limits for safety:

A new peer-reviewed paper, “Human Electromagnetic Field Exposure in 5G at 28 GHz,” questions the safety of exposure to 5G millimeter waves. The authors found in a simulation study that use of a 5G cell phone at 28 GHz could exceed ICNIRP (i.e. international) radio frequency exposure limits when held at 8 centimeters (i.e., 3 inches) or closer to the head or body. Whereas the ICNRIP exposure limit for the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is 2.0 watts per kilogram averaged over 10 grams of tissue, the FCC limit is 2-3 times more conservative, namely the SAR limit is 1.6 watts per kilogram averaged over only 1 gram of tissue. This means compliance with the FCC exposure limit would require a greater separation distance from the body than 8 centimeters in the U.S.

Fiber Optic safer than 5G

blogmeister 5G , , , ,

Verizon 5G Home vs. Fiber Optic to Home

This is a short comparison between two methods of getting up to a 1Gigabit connection speed to your home. Other wireless 5G providers will have equipment similar to Verizon from https://5gsacramentodangers.com/2020/08/21/why-5g-wireless-when-fiber-optic-is-better/

Verizon 5G Home vs. Fiber Optic to Home

  • In external antenna,
  • A new 5G router
  • 5G repeaters.

5G Antenna— Since 5G cannot penetrate shrubs, trees, stucco or Low-E windows, the 5G signal needs an externally mounted antenna.  Antenna placement outside the home may be limited by homeowner group restrictions or apartment restrictions. Your home must also be close to a Verizon 5G small cell (mounted on a light pole).

5G Router— A new router is needed to transmit a 5G signal throughout the house. The router will transmit 4G and 5G signals since all wireless devices in your home may not be 5G compatible.

5G Repeaters— Required for home coverage. 5G does not easily go through walls, whereas 4G easily passes through walls. One or more repeaters may be needed  to get 5G coverage throughout the house.

PROS

  • Possibly faster download speeds depending on speed of current service provider
  • Networks with other 5G devices, such as smart refrigerators, thermostats, front door cameras (Internet of Things–IoT).

CONS

  • Creates more EMF inside the home with the addition of 5G.
  • Creates more EMF outside the home with 5G small cells transmitting 24/7.
  • Slower than fiber optic connection.
  • Connection quality and speed limited by distance from 5G small cell.
  • Connection quality may be reduced by trees, rain and other vegetation between small cell and home 5G antenna.
  • Creates security and privacy issues since IoT devices can be easily hacked.

Fiber- Optic to the Home

Sacramento (did the study) currently has four fiber optic internet providers capable of up to 1GB/second connection to the home.  You can follow the link to each  internet provider’s website.

Equipment  Required

  • Fiber-Optic router–This will look much like a DSL router that uses a copper wired connection.

PROS:

  • Less EMF. No small cell antenna outside the home.
  • Less EMF at the home. No external 5G antenna required (the 5G antenna transmits and receives).
  • Can provide a totally EMF-Free connection with devices “wired” directly to the router
  • No issues with landlord, Home Owner’s Associations or apartment management since no external antenna is required.
  • More resilient and consistent. Unaffected by rain, trees, vegetation.
  • Router can be configured to provide 5G wireless connection.
  • If wireless is used, the router can connect to IoT

CONS

  • Fiber Optic not available in all areas

CONCLUSION

Fiber optic to the home is superior to 5G wireless and costs the same or less per month.

Electromagnetic radiation could contribute to insect demise

blogmeister Uncategorized , , , , ,

reprinted from Courthouse News Service BERLIN (AFP) — Radiation from mobile phones could have contributed to the dramatic decline in insect populations seen in much of Europe in recent years, a German study showed Thursday.

On top of pesticides and habitat loss, increased exposure to electromagnetic radiation is “probably having a negative impact on the insect world,” according to the study presented in Stuttgart, which is yet to be peer reviewed.

The analysis of 190 scientific studies was carried out by Germany’s Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) together with two NGOs, one from Germany and one from Luxembourg.

Of the 83 studies deemed scientifically relevant, 72 showed that radiation had a negative effect on bees, wasps and flies.

These effects ranged from a reduced ability to navigate due to the disturbance of magnetic fields to damage to genetic material and larvae.

Mobile phone and Wi-Fi radiation in particular opens the calcium channels in certain cells, meaning they absorb more calcium ions.

This can trigger a biochemical chain reaction in insects, the study said, disrupting circadian rhythms and the immune system.

“The study shows that we must keep our eyes open in all directions when analyzing the causes of the dramatic insect decline,” said Johannes Enssle, head of NABU in the state of Baden-Wuerttemberg.

“The subject is uncomfortable for many of us because it interferes with our daily habits and there are powerful economic interests behind mobile communication technology,” Enssle said.

Peter Hensinger of the German consumer protection organization Diagnose Funk said closer attention must be paid to the possible negative effects of radiation on both animals and humans, particularly with regard to the introduction of 5G technology.

Networks equipped with 5G are expected to offer speeds 100 times faster than existing 4G networks, but the technology has been met with strong opposition from some quarters, especially among environmental campaigners.

Mill Valley CA blocks 5G

blogmeister 5G , , , , , , , , , , ,

Bay Area city blocks 5G deployments over cancer concerns

The Bay Area may be the center of the global technology industry, but that hasn’t stopped one wealthy enclave from protecting itself from the future.

The city council of Mill Valley, a small town located just a few miles north of San Francisco, voted unanimously late last week to effectively block deployments of small-cell 5G wireless towers in the city’s residential areas.

Through an urgency ordinance, which allows the city council to immediately enact regulations that affect the health and safety of the community, the restrictions and prohibitions will be put into force immediately for all future applications to site 5G telecommunications equipment in the city. Applications for commercial districts are permitted under the passed ordinance.

The ordinance was driven by community concerns over the health effects of 5G wireless antennas. According to the city, it received 145 pieces of correspondence from citizens voicing opposition to the technology, compared to just five letters in support of it — a ratio of 29 to 1. While that may not sound like much, the city’s population is roughly 14,000, indicating that about 1% of the population had voiced an opinion on the matter.

Blocks on 5G deployments are nothing new for Marin County, where other cities including San Anselmo and Ross have passed similar ordinances designed to thwart 5G expansion efforts over health concerns.

These restrictions on small cell site deployments could complicate 5G’s upcoming nationwide rollout. While 5G standards have yet to be standardized, one model that has broad traction in the telecommunications industry is to use so-called “small cell” antennas to increase bandwidth and connection quality while reducing infrastructure and power costs. Smaller antennas are easier to install and will be loss obtrusive, reducing the concerns of urban preservationists to unsightly tower masts that have long plagued the deployment of 4G antennas in communities across the United States.

Perhaps most importantly, these small cells emit less radiation, since they are not designed to provide as wide of coverage as traditional cell sites. The telecom industry has long vociferously denied a link between antennas and health outcomes, although California’s Department of Public Health has issued warnings about potential health effects of personal cell phone antennas. Reduced radiation emissions from 5G antennas compared to 4G antennas would presumably further reduce any health effects of this technology.

Restrictions like Mill Valley’s will make it nearly impossible to deploy 5G in a timely manner. As one industry representative told me in an interview a few months ago, “It takes 18 months to get the permit to deploy, and 2 hours to install.” Multiplied by the hundreds of sites required to cover a reasonably-sized urban neighborhood, and the 5G rollout goes beyond daunting to well-near impossible.

While health concerns have bubbled in various municipalities, those concerns are not shared globally. China, through companies like Huawei, is investing billions of dollars to design and build 5G infrastructure, in hopes of stealing the industry crown from the United States, which is the market leader in 4G technologies.

Those competitive concerns have increasingly been a priority at the FCC, where chairman Ajit Pai  and his fellow Republican commissioners have pushed hard to overcome local concerns around health and historical preservation. The commission voted earlier this year on new siting rules that would accelerate 5G adoption.

Mill Valley’s ordinance is designed to frustrate those efforts, while remaining within the letter of federal law, which preempts local ordinances. Mill Valley’s mayor has said that the city will look to create a final ordinance over the next year.

What’s wrong with 5G and telecom hype?

blogmeister 5G , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Notes from Dr. Devra Davis and Americans For Responsible Technology during a zoom meeting 4/15/20 on 5G. (some slides from presentation below)

First, the telecom companies have been charging you different fees on your phone/telecom bill for years with the reasoning that they will use these funds to expand fiberoptic systems to reach more remote areas. Because of this they have amassed funds from customers that have not been used because they haven’t done this expansion. Now they are going to use the funds to expand 5G without your consent and using the funds that you paid into for a completely different purpose. Throughout the world telecom companies have disclaimers and warnings on wireless devices (see chart below) and have restricted frequency levels that have proven to cause harm. Even warnings from telecom companies to their shareholders have indicate that they cannot be insured for suits brought from people being harmed by these frequencies. Several telecom company executives in other countries have resigned rather than be personally liable in such a lawsuit. Do the insurers know the risks that we are not privy to?

So what’s wrong with 5G besides the fact that the infrastructure will have to be overwhelming because these frequencies are short range and therefore require hundreds or thousands or units on poles and structures vs. one cell tower?  These units will also require higher usage of electricity putting our grid system in overload. The 5G hazard is just an upgrade from the hazards we are already receiving from 3G and 4G through our cell phones, WiFi, smart meters and smart houses. The 5G frequencies were actually developed years ago as a weapon to induce pain, although if used sparingly it can actually treat chronic pain. Did you know the airports scanners are a form of 5G and are used to detect explosives?

The big hazard to the body is that the frequencies from 5G are absorbed through our skin and eyes and detrimentally effect our cells. Our sweat glands resonate with these frequencies creating dis-ease in the body. 5G affects cell growth repair so if the person is older or has some sort of immune-compromised illness they will likely be more affected*. The frequencies also disrupt the body’s ability to maintain antioxidant and glutathione levels when they are within 80 meters of the 5G unit, and also alter cell membranes, changes gene expressions and alter our cell death cycle and bacteria growth.

Japan, the USA and Canada have the highest allowable levels of RF exposure in the world. What do the other countries know that we aren’t being told? According to the Environmental Health Trust publication 5G uses frequencies from low to high band currently sub 6GHz. These have proven to cause cancer, but other risks to our health can include DNA , brain/memory, and sperm/reproductive damage, not to mention the extreme environmental risks to insects and trees.  5G is poised to be the undoing of personal freedoms, human biological sustenance, and the health of the planet. With 5G being launched agressively without need for local zoning approval during the pandemic, we all need to take our heads out of the sand and take a stand against this Orwellian technology.

Donald Trump Signs The “Secure 5G and Beyond Act of 2020″ Into Law
