An astonishing paper, published in the Journal of Epidemiology & Community Health, claims that there is not sufficient proof that 5G is safe, and that the only reason the rollout is going ahead regardless is because there is so much money to be made. Its author is Professor John William Frank, a professor of evidence-based medicine at the University of Edinburgh and fellow of the Royal Society.
Regular readers of mine will know that I have become somewhat disillusioned with the qualifications and 'letters after the name' of our new public health overlords, but nevertheless Professor Frank's credentials are impeccable if that is your thing. For a person of this stature in the field of public health to take it upon himself to demand a stop to 5G is no small matter. It will be interesting to see what waves his paper makes in the mainstream media.
Better safe than sorry
Professor Frank's argument is that 5G technology should be completely halted (at least temporarily) based on 'the precautionary principle.' He writes that
"significant doubt about the safety of a new and potentially widespread human exposure should be a reason to call a moratorium on that exposure, pending adequate scientific investigation of its suspected 'adverse health effects'."He outlines how the thing that makes 5G faster than previous generations of wireless networks - its active ingredient, if you will - is something called radio frequency electromagnetic fields or RF-EMFs. The essay cites a growing body of work suggesting that these EMFs are harmful to human health.
For example, in 2011 the International Agency for Research on Cancer found that EMFs are "possibly carcinogenic to humans." None of the previous iterations (1G, 2G, 3G or 4G) used these, nor did they use such high frequencies as 5G does. There are plenty more worrying facts about 5G in his essay, but the bottom line remains that we simply do not know what the impact will be on the population at large. The appropriate tests simply have not been done yet.
Cui bono?
Frank thinks that we should follow the money to discover why 5G is going ahead without the proper checks and balances. So who stands to gain from a gargantuan 5G rollout? China is betting big on 5G, and before coronavirus (I mean, before we knew about it) they said that they planned to build 600,000 5G stations this year, with a quarter of those in Zhejiang province alone.
So is 5G safe or not? Professor Frank's argument is that the way to find out is not to blast most of the world's population with its rays and just hope that catastrophe won't follow. But there are other opinions. For instance, Wikipedia, that august arbiter of truth, says ''the scientific consensus is that 5G technology is safe," with lots of nice references to back that up. Hopefully the public will begin to hear some more arguments both for and against 5G — I for one have seen very little discourse surrounding it, despite the fact that its widespread rollout is moving full steam ahead.
This is because the ruling classes, as we have all found out in recent times, do not much care for argument, rhetoric or debate. Their preference is for using the best-funded propaganda apparatus of all time to shut down all alternative discourse. That is unfortunate, and hopefully Professor Frank's reasoned and impassioned plea for hesitation will strike a chord in the hitherto stony hearts of whoever needs to read it.
But why do I get the feeling that somehow 'the precautionary principle' is only ever invoked when it suits the powers that be? Their reaction to coronavirus suggests that they believe safety is paramount — in fact, it is the only important thing. They say that even when preserving the lives of society's oldest and most vulnerable incurs unfathomable costs on the rest of the world, it must be done.
Well it is exactly that philosophy that has impelled Professor Frank to sound this warning against 5G. By their own standards, governments who have implemented lockdowns in the name of public health must surely stop the move to 5G pending investigation of the potential side effects. To do otherwise would give new meaning to the word hypocrisy.

The equipment required to broadcast a call to your phone requires electrical power many orders of magnitude greater than that, used by your mobile phone; this is definitely hazardous, on site at the broadcasting towers.
Now, you need to realise, this great transmitting power requirement is needed because, unlike your mobile phone which uses something like 3/5volts to transmit your one call, the Tower will probably be transmitting thousands of calls simultaneously, which multiplies those 3/5volts exponentially. Plus, the Towers must constantly transmit enquiries of the network to establish where every phone is, in order to efficiently direct and deliver all the network traffic users.
The Towers transmit, "who is there", each mobile phone responds, "Yes" I am here. Each mobile phone and it's owner is bathed in these Tower enquiries, 24hr/7days.
This next paragraph is most important to comprehend.
These transmissions in the 3,4,5,6G spectrum, also support "Directed Energy" weapons; these weapons combine the GPS Global Positioning System and the mobile phone transmitting system, in the afore mentioned 3,4,5,6G spectrum, utilising much higher amounts of electrical power, to deliver a concentrated transmitted charge of "G" wave length spectrum, sufficient to kill and/or seriously disable the intended target.
The 3,4,5,6G wave lengths are very, very short, which enables them to pass through many types of obstacle; they are, in transmissable terms, also very weak; thus, they need much higher power resources for transmission , especially over distance, and this also explains the ubiqitous number of transmitters and repeater stations deployed everywhere.
This explanation is plain english which may help more people comprehend. Also, people will notice; there is a possible direct relationship twixt Mobile Phone transmitting Towers and the transmitters for "Directed Energy" Weapons. This single fact renders "dubious" any statement to the effect that "G" spectrum wave lengths are harmless to humans, and so also to any other "life form" dependent on electro/chemical drivers for survival, just as we humans are.
Finally, some few months ago, Telstra Corp was advertising an upgraded level of "Service" delivered directly to your router; this would have to be "Directed Energy"; the advert stopped after three days?
Combining positional surveillance, thought monitoring and sculpting, social control, including access to money, services and dopamine hits from 'friends' (no longer available in the form of actual smiles), and if all that fails to keep the livestock in line...
A big red kill switch! 5G is the totalitarian's wet dream.
And they even added a cruel joke just to make the psychopath grimace: People voluntarily sign up and pay $100+ monthly for it!
Anyway...
Those mysterious mass elephant heart attack deaths last year?
C's say: EM weapon target practice.
Though, the official explanation provided now is, bacteria blooms in local watering holes. And the cherry on top of that perfectly reasonable PR dumpling? Climate Change is responsible! Golly! They've got some bright sparks working the perception problem today.
You have to applaud the cleverness even as your heart burns with indignation. Remember: You're the crazy one.
Now roll up your sleeve, citizen. Bill Gates has your next DNA update ready. You know, to protect against viruses.
Not convinced ? Get yourself a EMF meter $250 at least to be taken seriously. Background measure...then try your phone what does it read, mobile data off, mobile data on. Go to the Bioinitiative report online and check what multiple studies suggest as a safe measure. Consider the difference in these numbers and consider the authors point " precautionary principle ".
I did wait years to spare the money for that so I'll tell you mine. My backgound is peaking at 0.040, avg 0.0010, holding 1 inch from my mobile (data off) it's a little more but the moment I switch on the mobile data it peaks over 20 and then jumps between 0.2 and 4 always peaking out at 15 - 20 every couple seconds. Oh, sorry its mW/m2.
My 'middle school' (we called it jr. high school then) was on Elm Street.
This was back in the early '70's.
What I 'learned' though, was to hate that place.
The 'teachers' were a bizarre form of brain cancer.
Many of the children, showing 'symptoms'.
Computers were just starting to intrude with their ugly 'features' in those hallowed halls....
The elms were already mostly dead, I saw some of them fall.. So there was just a name, ELM, on a sign. Acompanied by a number. Was it 319? No, that wasn't it. Some other number...
Some other number.
I couldn't really believe what I was witnessing.
The nightmare had just begun.
Ahhhh, the good old days.
ned,
out out out
And if it is going to cause issues it should likewise be evident where it's heavily rolled out first in dense urban areas. It took 4g forever to arrive out in rural areas. The required tower density for 5g in rural areas looks like it should take a very long time....
something like that
have a nice day
The sad truth is that we are all expendable. We birth so heavily and so consistently that there is no need to protect anyone of us. The survivors of which the last die off of 70,000 years ago showed that there is always a number of survivors, in that case as few as hundreds, continue on and repopulate.
The Back Death killed so many, the painting press using linen garments of the dead was enabled. And it only took 50 years to restore population in Europe. A small grass roots movement of female isolationists, co-opted by the church authority, was the response to a life of continuous childbearing numbering up to 24.
We are so fragile and we treat each other so harshly, but, it seems, impossible to kill.
