Cell phones out number the entire population of the world today, the telecommunication industry is making big bucks providing these products and services to all the phones and mobile devices. The next generation of technology has arrived and millions of consumers are looking forward to better connections and speeds than ever before. The president has even said that these 5G networks will be up to 100 times faster than the 4G networks we are using right now.
“5G will be as much as 100 times faster than the current 4G cellular networks. It will transform the way our citizens work, learn, communicate, and travel. It will make American farms more productive, American manufacturing more competitive, and American healthcare better and more accessible. Basically, it covers almost everything, when you get right down to it. Pretty amazing. And just as 4G networks paved the way for smartphones and all of the exciting breakthroughs — they made possible so many things — this will be more secure and resilient. 5G networks will also create astonishing and really thrilling new opportunities for our people — opportunities that we’ve never even thought we had a possibility of looking at.”
That’s a positive endorsement that sounds pretty great; in order to achieve this vastly superior performance these new 5G networks will use technology that is completely different from our current 4G networks.
New 5G waves will be ultra high frequency and ultra high intensity to achieve that goal, but these new waves are also easily absorbed by objects such as trees and buildings. New towers themselves will be much smaller, but need to be much closer together. The telecommunications industry will be putting up at least 300,000 new cell towers, and projections estimate this will cost hundreds of billions to fully set up the 5G network across the nation.
There is no doubt a staggering bundle of money at stake, and the telecommunications industry is trying hard to assure everyone that this new untested 5G technology is completely safe, but is it really?
There is a growing body of scientific evidence indicating that the EMF radiation we are constantly being bombarded with by these technologies are not good for us at all, as such hundreds of scientist engaged in research in the area have signed the International EMF Scientist Appeal:
“We are scientists engaged in the study of biological and health effects of non-ionizing electromagnetic fields (EMF). Based upon peer-reviewed, published research, we have serious concerns regarding the ubiquitous and increasing exposure to EMF generated by electric and wireless devices. These include–but are not limited to–radiofrequency radiation (RFR) emitting devices, such as cellular and cordless phones and their base stations, Wi-Fi, broadcast antennas, smart meters, and baby monitors as well as electric devices and infra-structures used in the delivery of electricity that generate extremely-low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF EMF).”
“Numerous recent scientific publications have shown that EMF affects living organisms at levels well below most international and national guidelines. Effects include increased cancer risk, cellular stress, increase in harmful free radicals, genetic damages, structural and functional changes of the reproductive system, learning and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and negative impacts on general well-being in humans. Damage goes well beyond the human race, as there is growing evidence of harmful effects to both plant and animal life.”
In the appeal the scientists write of cancer risks, genetic damages, functional changes of the reproductive system, and neurological disorders as being just some of the health risks that are being discovered in scientific research conducted on current and past technology. Keep in mind 5G technology is new and will take all of this to an entirely new level, new towers will be incredibly powerful and so close together it will be pretty much like living in a closed radiation chamber 24 hours a day, there will be nowhere you can go to escape its waves.
Dr. Ben-Ishai from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem has discovered that the surface of the human body/skin draws in 5G radiation like and antenna, essentially the human body is like a magnet for 5G radiation.
“This kind of technology, which is in many of our homes, actually interacts with human skin and eyes…human sweat ducts act like a number of helical antennas when exposed to these wavelengths that are put out by the devices that employ 5G technology.” notes Arjun Walia for Collective Evolution.
Cell phones and mobile devices will no doubt be faster and more useful, but there is a possibility of getting cancer, even the American Cancer Society acknowledges the risk, but is it really worth it?
“A recent large study by the US National Toxicology Program (NTP) exposed large groups of lab rats and mice to RF energy over their entire bodies for about 9 hours a day, starting before birth and continuing for up to 2 years (which is the equivalent of about 70 years for humans, according to NTP scientists). The study found an increased risk of tumors called malignant schwannomas of the heart in male rats exposed to RF radiation, as well as possible increased risks of certain types of tumors in the brain and adrenal glands.”
All previous studies have been done using existing technology, no studies have actually been done on the possible health effects of this new ultra powerful technology which has many scientists more than a little concerned. There is no organized opposition and 5G networks are going up across the nation right now, and cities are not even allowed to refuse where towers go based on health concerns only for aesthetic reasons. Unfortunately it won’t be long before everyone is being bombarded with this new and untested ultra high frequency and ultra high intensity technology everywhere you go, most won’t even realize what is happening.
Most experts such as Dr. Martin Pall can agree and say rolling out this new technology without any safety testing whatsoever “has got to be about the stupidest idea anyone has had in the history of the world”. Should you get sick from this untested technology being forced upon us, who do you think is going to foot that bill, odds are it won’t be the telecommunication industry. Still think it’s worth it?
