The 5th Generation wireless network is the latest generation of mobile technology utilized by internet companies, cell phone carriers, and other technology providers — and is being bulldozed through our Long Island communities.
This technology is touted as providing faster internet and streaming services, better cell phone coverage, and vibrant, “smart cities.” The 5G technology enables many appliances and a multitude of technology devices to be hooked up to one control unit. This technology supposedly will reduce commute times and energy usage, and improve safety, courtesy of smart grid “efficiencies.”
Unlike the 4G currently in use, that relies on huge 90-foot cell towers with about a dozen or so antenna ports each — the new 5G system uses “smart cell” facilities, each with up to 100 antenna ports. The 5G technology is expected to be anywhere up to 100 times faster than the current 4G technology, and capable of supporting over a billion devices.
The 5G relies primarily on the bandwidth of the millimeter wave, which is between 30GHZ and 300 GHZ. The MMWs don’t travel well through buildings. Buildings interfere with their signal. MMWs tend to be absorbed by rain and plants. Also, high frequency waves like the MMWs have a much shorter wavelength that can’t travel far. To counter this problem, the 5G will utilize smaller cell stations (beam-forming technology) that will scramble/unscramble and direct packets of data on a no interference path back to us, the users.
How can this be done? By putting wireless antennas on every lamppost, utility pole, and possibly on homes and commercial buildings throughout entire neighborhoods, towns and cities. A relay aerial station will be placed approximately every 984 feet. Once placed, we can no longer opt out. This is outlaying one of the greatest threats to public health.
For the cognitive individuals still among us, you will take vivid notice and have an issue with a telecom company installing a 5G cell facility outside your home, office, or your child’s school.
There has been heavy lobbying via the federal and state levels for some years now, for the purpose of enabling telecom companies to have easier access for implementation of 5G technology — with no strings attached — to decide cell tower locations on utility poles, streetlights, arenas, schools, and college campuses.
Installing 5G antennas on millions of utility poles and lamp posts throughout the U.S. represents untold health consequences to all in its path.
In Gateshead, a town in northern England, citizens are reporting an array of very disturbing side effects of exposure to 5G WiFi including insomnia, nosebleeds, neurological problems, as well as stillbirths.
Radio-frequency radiation is linked to health effects and cancer. In May 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, the cancer research arm of the World Health Organization, declared radio-frequency radiation from cell phones a group 2B possible carcinogen (cancer-causing agent.)
Research conducted by the National Toxicology Program, a program initiated by the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services in 1978, included two separate studies that revealed exposure to the type of radiation emitted by 2G and 3G cell phones could cause heart tumors, DNA damage and tumors in the brain, prostate, liver and pancreas. With 5G technology many more concerns are raised.
5G MMWs can penetrate human skin and could also promote antibiotic resistance. There are concerning findings regarding 5G technology, according to Telecom Power Grab organization. One such finding is that sweat ducts in human skin can act as an antenna when they come in contact with MMWs. The waves can penetrate one to two millimeters of human skin tissue and also can be absorbed by the surface layers of the eye’s cornea.
Telecom Power Grab also notes there is a possibility this technology could further worsen the problems with antibiotic-resistant bacteria that already plague us worldwide (due to factory farming, pesticide use, GMOs.) MMWs can cause changes in the properties, growth and activity of many varieties of bacteria including E. coli — greatly affecting the gut. This is according to the Journal of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology. These changes occur due to the extremely high frequencies and intensity that 5Gs give off, causing interference with cells in the body, and bacteria.
Research by Dr. Yael Stein and colleagues of Hebrew University of Jerusalem has revealed that sweat glands concentrate MMWs in human skin, which is sensed as heat waves, or physical pain to humans. In a 2016 letter to the Federal Communications Commission in opposition to 5G technology, Stein wrote of 5G: harming and changing our environment and is a disaster waiting to happen.
There are very serious environmental issues connected to 5G technology, particularly since MMWs are absorbed by both plants and rain. These waves invoke a stress protein in plants. The effects of MMWs on plants could easily leave humans and animals, who consume plants as a food source, with food that is not safe to consume. Rain that waters plants, trees, and us humans will be irradiated (radiation).
Even low levels of non-ionizing radiation have been linked to various health problems in birds and our pollinators — the bees. This will also pose a danger to our food supply.
Exposure will be involuntary. Once installed in all of our neighborhoods, you simply won’t have a choice to opt out of 5G. In an open letter to the Global Union Against Radiation Deployment from Space, an international coalition against global WiFi from space, it is stated that “flooding the planet with microwave radiation” (satellites that give us communication for cell phones, laptop computers, etc.) is a “violation of human rights.”
Space-based microwave radiation threatens the planet with radio-frequency radiation without informed individual consent or an option for individual avoidance.
Pulse-modulated microwave radiation has been reported by thousands of peer-reviews worldwide as causing cancers, DNA damage, infertility, blood-brain barrier damage, and more.
