The letter highlights the fact that there are still some genuine “liberals” left in society who are willing to stand behind the increasingly endangered species of free speech.
However, some would ask where they’ve been hiding for the past three years since mass censorship, particularly by monopolistic social media giants, has been significantly ramped up.
The idea that an open letter will do much to stop the rampaging virus of cancel culture is also up for debate. Why don’t these intellectuals organize a major conference or a massive protest march to showcase their principles?
The irony of course is that if this letter gains any traction at all, its signatories will immediately become targets for cancellation from the unhinged, woke far-left.
The full letter is reprinted below:
——————————————–
Our cultural institutions are facing a moment of trial. Powerful protests for racial and social justice are leading to overdue demands for police reform, along with wider calls for greater equality and inclusion across our society, not least in higher education, journalism, philanthropy, and the arts.
But this needed reckoning has also intensified a new set of moral attitudes and political commitments that tend to weaken our norms of open debate and toleration of differences in favor of ideological conformity.
As we applaud the first development, we also raise our voices against the second. The forces of illiberalism are gaining strength throughout the world and have a powerful ally in Donald Trump, who represents a real threat to democracy.
But resistance must not be allowed to harden into its own brand of dogma or coercion—which right-wing demagogues are already exploiting. The democratic inclusion we want can be achieved only if we speak out against the intolerant climate that has set in on all sides.
The free exchange of information and ideas, the lifeblood of a liberal society, is daily becoming more constricted.
While we have come to expect this on the radical right, censoriousness is also spreading more widely in our culture: an intolerance of opposing views, a vogue for public shaming and ostracism, and the tendency to dissolve complex policy issues in a blinding moral certainty. We uphold the value of robust and even caustic counter-speech from all quarters.
But it is now all too common to hear calls for swift and severe retribution in response to perceived transgressions of speech and thought.
More troubling still, institutional leaders, in a spirit of panicked damage control, are delivering hasty and disproportionate punishments instead of considered reforms.
Editors are fired for running controversial pieces; books are withdrawn for alleged inauthenticity; journalists are barred from writing on certain topics; professors are investigated for quoting works of literature in class; a researcher is fired for circulating a peer-reviewed academic study; and the heads of organizations are ousted for what are sometimes just clumsy mistakes.
Whatever the arguments around each particular incident, the result has been to steadily narrow the boundaries of what can be said without the threat of reprisal.
We are already paying the price in greater risk aversion among writers, artists, and journalists who fear for their livelihoods if they depart from the consensus, or even lack sufficient zeal in agreement.
This stifling atmosphere will ultimately harm the most vital causes of our time. The restriction of debate, whether by a repressive government or an intolerant society, invariably hurts those who lack power and makes everyone less capable of democratic participation.
The way to defeat bad ideas is by exposure, argument, and persuasion, not by trying to silence or wish them away. We refuse any false choice between justice and freedom, which cannot exist without each other.
As writers we need a culture that leaves us room for experimentation, risk taking, and even mistakes. We need to preserve the possibility of good-faith disagreement without dire professional consequences.
If we won’t defend the very thing on which our work depends, we shouldn’t expect the public or the state to defend it for us.

Many leftists now claim that communism is preferable to America’s constitutional republic because it supposedly fosters “equality” and the preservation of “human rights.”
But this is certainly not the case in communist China, where the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is forcibly sterilizing minorities as part of a massive ethnic cleansing operation.
In order to boost China’s Han majority, the CCP is forcing Uighur Muslims and other ethnic and religious minorities who live in China to be sterilized, have abortions or otherwise terminate pregnancy to keep their population levels at a minimum.
An investigation by the Associated Press (AP) found that compulsory birth control is more common in China than many people realize.
“Demographic genocide,” as it is being called, is especially prevalent in the far west region of China known as Xinjiang, where intrauterine devices (IUDs), sterilization, abortion and other forms of chemical violence are routinely used to control China’s population of “undesirables.”
As we reported in the past, communist China does not care for its minority populations and would prefer to see all minorities exterminated to create a “perfect” Chinese race.
“The population control measures are backed by mass detention both as a threat and as a punishment for failure to comply,” the AP reports.
“Having too many children is a major reason people are sent to detention camps … with the parents of three or more ripped away from their families unless they can pay huge fines. Police raid homes, terrifying parents as they search for hidden children,” it adds.
China is actively depopulating its country of Caucasians with white skin
In addition to Uighur Muslims, China is also going after Caucasians like Gulnar Omirzakh, a Chinese-born Kazakh who was forced by the CCP to get an IUD inserted into her body after bearing her third child.
Even though she complied, Omirzakh was still targeted by the CCP two years later when four state officials in military camouflage came knocking on her door, demanding that she pay a $2,685 find for having more than two children.
Omirzakh’s husband was a vegetable trader who is currently being detained by the CCP, which means Omirzakh has very little money.
Still, she was ordered to pay this hefty fine even though she is guilty of nothing beyond having the wrong color skin and ethnicity while living in China.
“God bequeaths children on you,” Omirzakh is quoted as saying in tears as she recalled the horrors of the day she was raided and terrorized by the CCP.
“To prevent people from having children is wrong. They want to destroy us as a people.”
As you might expect, ethnic minorities in China, hearing about this and other similar incidents, are now terrified to have any children at all.
Between the years of 2015 and 2018, when Omirzakh was paid a visit by the CCP military, birth rates in the mostly Uighur regions of Hotan and Kashgar have plummeted by more than 60 percent.
In Xinjiang, birth rates fell 24 percent last year alone, while the general birth rate across China at large only fell by about 4.2 percent during that same time.
“This kind of drop is unprecedented,” says Adrian Zenz, a Chinese scholar who put together some of the research on this disturbing trend that was used by the AP to report on this phenomenon.
“This is part of a wider control campaign to subjugate the Uighurs.”
Interestingly, this campaign of racism against whites is also part of the agenda of domestic communist-terrorist groups like Black Lives Matter (BLM) and Antifa, both of which are trying to ethnically cleanse the United States of white people and replace them with “minorities.”

humansarefree--2020-07-08--New 5G Laws Mandate Accelerated Rollout

New 5G Laws Mandate Accelerated Rollout

In March 2020 , with the U.S. reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic , the Secure 5G and Beyond Act ( S. 893 ) and the Broadband Deployment Accuracy and Technological Availability Act ( S. 1822 ) were signed into law .
The duo will accelerate the adoption of 5G , or “ 5th Generation , ” wireless networks across the U.S. — and in so doing , force Americans to receive unprecedented levels of exposure to the millimeter wave ( MMW ) , which has shown potential to harm human health and the environment .
The 5G act requires the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the security of 5G mobile telecommunications systems and infrastructures in the U.S. , while assisting “ allies and strategic partners ” to maximize the security of such systems.1 The Broadband act requires the Federal Communications Commission ( FCC ) to issue rules regarding data collection to ultimately improve the accuracy of maps showing where broadband is available in the U.S.2 What ’ s more , the 5G Act requires the president to consult with the FCC , the Department of Homeland Security , the Department of Defense and other agencies and submit a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how secure 5G will be implemented .
With millions of Americans suddenly working remotely , it ’ s an opportune time for regulators to move 5G forward — but it ’ s a move that has many experts concerned .
Still , the legislation is moving forward under the guise of bringing faster internet to Americans , at any cost .
The House Energy and Commerce Committee , which is led by chairman Frank Pallone , Jr. , said in a statement:3 “ The bills signed into law … by the President are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ access broadband and that our networks are secure and trusted .
“ The need for connectivity is even more critical now that millions of Americans are teleworking and learning from home in response to the coronavirus pandemic .
“ We must prepare our networks for the 5G future and ensure federal agencies work together on a comprehensive plan to identify and address security risks in 5G and future wireless technologies — the Secure 5G and Beyond Act requires exactly that … “ It ’ s also long past time to fix our nation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mapping unserved and underserved communities is essential to promoting the deployment of high-speed service to all Americans and ensuring our investments have maximum impact .
The Broadband DATA Act will help tremendously with those efforts … ” In the interview above , Brian Hoyer — one of the primary consultants for my latest book , “ EMF*D ” — discusses how electromagnetic field ( EMF ) radiation may be impacting the COVID-19 epidemic and your infection risk .
Many have raised questions about whether there is a connection between 5G and this pandemic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is that EMF radiation — and the addition of 5G in particular — could be having an impact .
Hoyer cites data from Arthur Firstenberg ’ s book , “ The Invisible Rainbow , ” 4 in which he catalogued epidemiological evidence showing that as electrification of the world was implemented , throughout the course of history , viral pandemics ensued .
To put it simply , poor immune function and ill health combined with environmental stressors such as heightened EMF exposure might create a perfect storm where the virus has an easy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ can reproduce faster .
In the video below — “ 5G Beware , ” created by Greater Earth Media — three experts discuss the pitfalls of rolling out 5G technology before its effects on humans and the environment are understood .
Unlike the “ 4th Generation ” ( 4G ) technology currently in use , which relies on huge 90-foot cell towers with about a dozen antenna ports on each , the 5G system uses “ small cell ” facilities or bases , each with about 100 antenna ports each.5 Expected to be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ technology and capable of supporting at least 100 billion devices,6 5G relies primarily on the MMW bandwidth , which is between 30GHz and 300GHz , according to EMF coach and author Lloyd Burrell.7 “ MMWs … do not travel well through buildings and they tend to be absorbed by rain and plants .
This interferes with the signal .
Added to this , high frequency waves like MMWs also have much shorter wavelengths that can ’ t travel far , ” he says .
“ To counter this problem 5G will utilize smaller @ @ @ @ @ @ @ beamforming ) that ’ ll scramble/unscramble and redirect packets of data on a no-interference path back to us .
“ This could mean wireless antennas on every lamp post , utility pole , home and business throughout entire neighborhoods , towns and cities , ” Burrell explains,8 and herein lies one of its greatest potential problems — and threats to public health .
In “ 5G Beware , ” Atul Deshmane , commissioner of Whatcom County Public Utility District in Washington state , walks down the street with an EMF meter , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ safe limit ” with 4G technology .
“ If 5G increases this by an order of magnitude , maybe that ’ s something to be concerned about , ” he says .
Jon Humphrey , a music educator in Bellingham , Washington who has decades of professional IT experience , compared the telecommunications industry to Big Tobacco , stating that 5G technology is our generation ’ s tobacco .
“ As usual , 5G , like 4G and 3G before it , is mostly a marketing term and most of what you ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” Humphrey says.9 The antennae enclosures added to utility poles and lamp posts may not only be eye sores , including antennae enclosures that are up to 6 cubic feet each , but also pose a very real threat to public health .
While MMWs have not been widely used before , there are some concerning findings to date , according to Telecom Power Grab , including that sweat ducts in human skin act as antennae when they come in contact with MMWs.10 Dr. Linda Goggin , of Feel Good Functional Medicine @ @ @ @ @ @ @ film that 5G technology will turn us all into lab rats , part of a giant experiment , as no one knows what 5G will do to human health : “ We are in our infancy in terms of our understanding of what electromagnetic fields do to the body .
And we ’ re wondering if it is a problem .
We function because of moving currents in our body .
That ’ s a basic principle .
“ zNerves function because of the shifts in movement of electric charge .
The structure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ very important for normal function and that also is affected by charge coming from outside the body .
This whole field of the electromagnetic spectrum affects us … It ’ s got to be studied by scientists.
” Interestingly , many of the areas hardest hit by COVID-19 have recently implemented 5G , which might render residents more prone to serious infection by lowering their immune function .
Hoyer cited Dr. Thomas Cowan , who brought up a potential connection between 5G and COVID-19 during a March 12 , 2020 , lecture at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Tucson , Arizona .
While I ’ m not saying 5G spreads the infection or is a vector of infection , it ’ s possible that it raises your risk by impairing your innate immune system ’ s ability to fight off coronavirus .
According to Hoyer : “ [ Cowan ] is a top-notch doctor , he ’ s on the cutting edge … he talks about Wuhan as one of the testing grounds for 5G , where 5G was first implemented in China .
“ And what ’ s interesting about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lombardi area of Italy where two-thirds of the cases are — is considered the 5G capital of the European Union according to Vodafone , which is the big 5G carrier out there … “ If you go on Vodafone ’ s website , you can see the 5G map , and it ’ s sprinkled throughout all Milan and Lombardi , that province up there .
So that is definitely a more concentrated area .
“ … So , there ’ s 5G in Milan , in Wuhan , and New York City @ @ @ @ @ @ @ intense [ 5G ] areas I ’ ve seen , and Seattle … But 5G doesn ’ t matter so much to me .
It ’ s about the intensity of the EMF .
“ New York was basically as intense as a 5G area already , before 5G was implemented , in my opinion .
It maxes out all of our meters wherever I go .
There are hidden antennas everywhere in New York City .
“ [ Seattle ] has a lot of hills in the city , and right on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ radio towers with probably 100 antennas on them , just blasting the whole city .
We ’ ve had assessments there where we ’ ve maxed out [ our meters ] , and even shielded rooms upstairs and it still maxed out.
” Part of the U.S. government ’ s plan to fast-track the 5G rollout is an offer of $ 9.7 billion in compensation payments to satellite operators to give up their C-band spectrum licenses .
The C-band spectrum ( from the 3.7GHz to 4.2GHz band ) is currently used by satellite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ industry as , according to news outlet CommsMEA : “ It blends the ability to deliver hyperfast download speeds in excess of 1Gbps with much improved propagation ranges , when compared to higher frequency spectrums.
” 11 In a statement , the FCC called this a “ critical step in implementing our comprehensive 5G FAST Plan , as it will rapidly put mid-band spectrum into the hands of innovators and consumers and pave the way for the United States to lead the world in 5G deployment.
” 12 US Banned Chinese Components Over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ concern .
Already , the U.S. government banned the use of Chinese components in the U.S. 5G network because of surveillance fears.13 Further , U.S. companies have also been banned from selling computer chips to Huawei Technologies Co. , which is producing 5G base stations , citing national security concerns .
According to Bloomberg:14 “ US officials accuse Huawei of stealing valuable intellectual property and violating a trade embargo with Iran .
“ The Trump administration blacklisted the company last year , saying there ’ s a risk Huawei could give Beijing access @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that employ its gear .
“ Huawei has denied the allegations .
Critics also said the US government imposed the sanctions to hobble China ’ s leadership in key aspects of 5G technology.
” The ban hasn ’ t stopped Huawei , however , which has continued to produce base stations without U.S. components .
As of February 2020 , Huawei had shipped about 600,000 base stations to mobile phone companies.15 China has also been fast-tracking their 5G networks and planned to activate more than 130,000 base stations by the end of 2019 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Now , with people using technology to communicate digitally instead of face-to-face , virtually all communication is being sent through networks manufactured by China .
If backdoors used for surveillance are built into 5G base stations , the tracking and surveillance that could result would be unprecedented in scope .
According to Humphrey , however , even the race with China to roll out 5G is all smoke and mirrors .
He states:17 “ We can ’ t keep up with China on networking including with 5G .
Why ?
Because China manufactures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ world .
Fiber isn ’ t expensive here [ in the U.S. ] , and it ’ s even less expensive in China .
“ Small cells , like the ones used in 5G , have to be hooked up to fiber-optic cabling and since China installs their fiber in a public manner they can leverage it for use in the most efficient , cost-effective manner possible.
” Humphrey also states in “ 5G Beware ” that the U.S. is far behind most of the rest of the developed world because it doesn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ While it ’ s sometimes said that 5G will ultimately replace fiber optics , Humphrey says this is laughable , since 5G requires fiber optics .
“ Fiber optics is safe , ” he says , “ it just carries light .
You might as well just hook directly up to the fiber and have a choice in how much EMF exposure you ’ re getting.
” You Won ’ t Have a Choice to Opt Out , so What Can You Do ?
Once it ’ s installed in your neighborhood , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to opt out of 5G exposure .
“ 5G will be virtually everywhere , with the options of being able to simply “ get away from it ” being very limited as millions of small cell devices are rolled out , ” Humphrey says.18 As for lowering your EMF exposure , you can download a free chapter from my book , “ EMF*D , ” that summarizes most of the major recommendations .
You can purchase the book here : EMF*D : 5G , Wi-Fi & Cell Phones : Hidden Harms and How @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Practice of Fluoridation There ’ s no doubt about it : Fluoride should not be ingested .

In March 2020, with the U.S. reeling from the COVID-19 pandemic, the Secure 5G and Beyond Act (S. 893) and the Broadband Deployment Accuracy and Technological Availability Act (S. 1822) were signed into law.
The duo will accelerate the adoption of 5G, or “5th Generation,” wireless networks across the U.S. — and in so doing, force Americans to receive unprecedented levels of exposure to the millimeter wave (MMW), which has shown potential to harm human health and the environment.
The 5G act requires the president to develop a strategy to ensure the security of 5G mobile telecommunications systems and infrastructures in the U.S., while assisting “allies and strategic partners” to maximize the security of such systems.1
The Broadband act requires the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to issue rules regarding data collection to ultimately improve the accuracy of maps showing where broadband is available in the U.S.2
What’s more, the 5G Act requires the president to consult with the FCC, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense and other agencies and submit a plan to Congress within 180 days detailing how secure 5G will be implemented.
With millions of Americans suddenly working remotely, it’s an opportune time for regulators to move 5G forward — but it’s a move that has many experts concerned.
Still, the legislation is moving forward under the guise of bringing faster internet to Americans, at any cost. The House Energy and Commerce Committee, which is led by chairman Frank Pallone, Jr., said in a statement:3
“The bills signed into law … by the President are critical to ensuring that all Americans can access broadband and that our networks are secure and trusted.
“The need for connectivity is even more critical now that millions of Americans are teleworking and learning from home in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
“We must prepare our networks for the 5G future and ensure federal agencies work together on a comprehensive plan to identify and address security risks in 5G and future wireless technologies — the Secure 5G and Beyond Act requires exactly that …
“It’s also long past time to fix our nation’s faulty broadband maps. Accurately mapping unserved and underserved communities is essential to promoting the deployment of high-speed service to all Americans and ensuring our investments have maximum impact. The Broadband DATA Act will help tremendously with those efforts …”
Does EMF Exposure Raise Coronavirus Risk?
In the interview above, Brian Hoyer — one of the primary consultants for my latest book, “EMF*D” — discusses how electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation may be impacting the COVID-19 epidemic and your infection risk.
Many have raised questions about whether there is a connection between 5G and this pandemic.
While unproven, one current theory is that EMF radiation — and the addition of 5G in particular — could be having an impact.
Hoyer cites data from Arthur Firstenberg’s book, “The Invisible Rainbow,”4 in which he catalogued epidemiological evidence showing that as electrification of the world was implemented, throughout the course of history, viral pandemics ensued.
To put it simply, poor immune function and ill health combined with environmental stressors such as heightened EMF exposure might create a perfect storm where the virus has an easy way to get into the body and can reproduce faster.
Smaller 5G Wavelengths Pose Unprecedented Risk
In the video below — “5G Beware,” created by Greater Earth Media — three experts discuss the pitfalls of rolling out 5G technology before its effects on humans and the environment are understood.
Unlike the “4th Generation” (4G) technology currently in use, which relies on huge 90-foot cell towers with about a dozen antenna ports on each, the 5G system uses “small cell” facilities or bases, each with about 100 antenna ports each.5
Expected to be 10 to 100 times faster than 4G technology and capable of supporting at least 100 billion devices,6 5G relies primarily on the MMW bandwidth, which is between 30GHz and 300GHz, according to EMF coach and author Lloyd Burrell.7
“MMWs … do not travel well through buildings and they tend to be absorbed by rain and plants. This interferes with the signal. Added to this, high frequency waves like MMWs also have much shorter wavelengths that can’t travel far,” he says.
“To counter this problem 5G will utilize smaller cell stations (and the technology of beamforming) that’ll scramble/unscramble and redirect packets of data on a no-interference path back to us.
“This could mean wireless antennas on every lamp post, utility pole, home and business throughout entire neighborhoods, towns and cities,” Burrell explains,8 and herein lies one of its greatest potential problems — and threats to public health.
In “5G Beware,” Atul Deshmane, commissioner of Whatcom County Public Utility District in Washington state, walks down the street with an EMF meter, which shows EMF levels “way above the safe limit” with 4G technology. “If 5G increases this by an order of magnitude, maybe that’s something to be concerned about,” he says.
‘This Is Our Generation’s Tobacco’
Jon Humphrey, a music educator in Bellingham, Washington who has decades of professional IT experience, compared the telecommunications industry to Big Tobacco, stating that 5G technology is our generation’s tobacco.
“As usual, 5G, like 4G and 3G before it, is mostly a marketing term and most of what you’re being told isn’t accurate,” Humphrey says.9
The antennae enclosures added to utility poles and lamp posts may not only be eye sores, including antennae enclosures that are up to 6 cubic feet each, but also pose a very real threat to public health.
While MMWs have not been widely used before, there are some concerning findings to date, according to Telecom Power Grab, including that sweat ducts in human skin act as antennae when they come in contact with MMWs.10
Dr. Linda Goggin, of Feel Good Functional Medicine in Bellingham, also warns in the film that 5G technology will turn us all into lab rats, part of a giant experiment, as no one knows what 5G will do to human health:
“We are in our infancy in terms of our understanding of what electromagnetic fields do to the body. And we’re wondering if it is a problem. We function because of moving currents in our body. That’s a basic principle.
“zNerves function because of the shifts in movement of electric charge. The structure of the water in our body is very important for normal function and that also is affected by charge coming from outside the body. This whole field of the electromagnetic spectrum affects us … It’s got to be studied by scientists.”
5G Connection in Areas Hardest Hit by COVID-19
Interestingly, many of the areas hardest hit by COVID-19 have recently implemented 5G, which might render residents more prone to serious infection by lowering their immune function.
Hoyer cited Dr. Thomas Cowan, who brought up a potential connection between 5G and COVID-19 during a March 12, 2020, lecture at the Health and Human Rights Summit in Tucson, Arizona.
While I’m not saying 5G spreads the infection or is a vector of infection, it’s possible that it raises your risk by impairing your innate immune system’s ability to fight off coronavirus. According to Hoyer:
“[Cowan] is a top-notch doctor, he’s on the cutting edge … he talks about Wuhan as one of the testing grounds for 5G, where 5G was first implemented in China.
“And what’s interesting about Italy … is that Milan — the Lombardi area of Italy where two-thirds of the cases are — is considered the 5G capital of the European Union according to Vodafone, which is the big 5G carrier out there …
“If you go on Vodafone’s website, you can see the 5G map, and it’s sprinkled throughout all Milan and Lombardi, that province up there. So that is definitely a more concentrated area.
“… So, there’s 5G in Milan, in Wuhan, and New York City is one of the highest, most intense [5G] areas I’ve seen, and Seattle … But 5G doesn’t matter so much to me. It’s about the intensity of the EMF.
“New York was basically as intense as a 5G area already, before 5G was implemented, in my opinion. It maxes out all of our meters wherever I go. There are hidden antennas everywhere in New York City.
“[Seattle] has a lot of hills in the city, and right on Queen Anne, there are two huge radio towers with probably 100 antennas on them, just blasting the whole city. We’ve had assessments there where we’ve maxed out [our meters], and even shielded rooms upstairs and it still maxed out.”
US Government Spending $9.7 Billion for 5G C-Band Spectrum
Part of the U.S. government’s plan to fast-track the 5G rollout is an offer of $9.7 billion in compensation payments to satellite operators to give up their C-band spectrum licenses.
The C-band spectrum (from the 3.7GHz to 4.2GHz band) is currently used by satellite operators but is desirable for the telecom industry as, according to news outlet CommsMEA:
“It blends the ability to deliver hyperfast download speeds in excess of 1Gbps with much improved propagation ranges, when compared to higher frequency spectrums.”11
In a statement, the FCC called this a “critical step in implementing our comprehensive 5G FAST Plan, as it will rapidly put mid-band spectrum into the hands of innovators and consumers and pave the way for the United States to lead the world in 5G deployment.”12
US Banned Chinese Components Over Fears of Espionage
Privacy issues are another concern. Already, the U.S. government banned the use of Chinese components in the U.S. 5G network because of surveillance fears.13
Further, U.S. companies have also been banned from selling computer chips to Huawei Technologies Co., which is producing 5G base stations, citing national security concerns. According to Bloomberg:14
“US officials accuse Huawei of stealing valuable intellectual property and violating a trade embargo with Iran.
“The Trump administration blacklisted the company last year, saying there’s a risk Huawei could give Beijing access to sensitive data coursing through telecommunications networks that employ its gear.
“Huawei has denied the allegations. Critics also said the US government imposed the sanctions to hobble China’s leadership in key aspects of 5G technology.”
The ban hasn’t stopped Huawei, however, which has continued to produce base stations without U.S. components. As of February 2020, Huawei had shipped about 600,000 base stations to mobile phone companies.15
China has also been fast-tracking their 5G networks and planned to activate more than 130,000 base stations by the end of 2019 in order to support its 5G network.16
Now, with people using technology to communicate digitally instead of face-to-face, virtually all communication is being sent through networks manufactured by China.
If backdoors used for surveillance are built into 5G base stations, the tracking and surveillance that could result would be unprecedented in scope.
According to Humphrey, however, even the race with China to roll out 5G is all smoke and mirrors. He states:17
“We can’t keep up with China on networking including with 5G. Why? Because China manufactures most of the fiber-optic cabling in the world. Fiber isn’t expensive here [in the U.S.], and it’s even less expensive in China.
“Small cells, like the ones used in 5G, have to be hooked up to fiber-optic cabling and since China installs their fiber in a public manner they can leverage it for use in the most efficient, cost-effective manner possible.”
Humphrey also states in “5G Beware” that the U.S. is far behind most of the rest of the developed world because it doesn’t have public fiber optics.
While it’s sometimes said that 5G will ultimately replace fiber optics, Humphrey says this is laughable, since 5G requires fiber optics.
“Fiber optics is safe,” he says, “it just carries light. You might as well just hook directly up to the fiber and have a choice in how much EMF exposure you’re getting.”

You Won’t Have a Choice to Opt Out, so What Can You Do?
Once it’s installed in your neighborhood, you won’t have a choice to opt out of 5G exposure.
“5G will be virtually everywhere, with the options of being able to simply “get away from it” being very limited as millions of small cell devices are rolled out,” Humphrey says.18
As for lowering your EMF exposure, you can download a free chapter from my book, “EMF*D,” that summarizes most of the major recommendations.
You can purchase the book here: EMF*D: 5G, Wi-Fi & Cell Phones: Hidden Harms and How to Protect Yourself.
Help End the Practice of Fluoridation
There’s no doubt about it: Fluoride should not be ingested. Even scientists from the EPA’s National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory have classified fluoride as a “chemical having substantial evidence of developmental neurotoxicity.”
Furthermore, according to screenings conducted for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 65% of American adolescents now have dental fluorosis — unattractive discoloration and mottling of the teeth that indicate overexposure to fluoride — up from 41% a decade ago.
Clearly, children are continuing to be overexposed, and their health and development put in jeopardy. Why?
The only real solution is to stop the archaic practice of artificial water fluoridation in the first place. Fortunately, the Fluoride Action Network (FAN), has a game plan to END fluoridation worldwide.
Clean pure water is a prerequisite to optimal health. Industrial chemicals, drugs and other toxic additives really have no place in our water supplies.
So please, protect your drinking water and support the fluoride-free movement by making a tax-deductible donation to the Fluoride Action Network today.

Modern technology has created a brave new electronic and borderless world. Surveillance and biometric capturing technologies have advanced significantly in recent years.
ID programs have modernised with the likes of ID smartcards linked to huge databases enabling fast and secure electronic authentication among other surveillance functions.
Advances in digital technologies have made it possible now to construct an identification system capable of monitoring just about every human transaction. The surveillance society is no longer a future probability but a very present reality.
As Martin Hirst, Associate Professor at Deakin University observes: “… we are clearly living in a well-established surveillance society.”1
This surveillance society has at least several disturbing implications as Hirst proceeds to explain:
Everything you do is subject to surveillance… We are under constant watch, both physically and electronically. Surveillance is the new normal. It’s everywhere and this ubiquity makes us take it for granted.2
That ubiquitous surveillance has achieved an almost imperceptible presence in our lives is captured in remarks by Julian Assange in an interview with Global:
The web accelerated the network’s proliferation into every aspect of modern daily life in advanced societies. The speed of that transformation has left global society unaware of the political and societal implications of using a one-world network as the central nervous system of humanity. Foremost among those implications was the globalisation and totalisation of surveillance.3
Indeed it’s a profound transformation unfolding as advanced surveillance technologies become smaller, faster and far more powerful and effective. But more, it reveals an eerie dimension to modern surveillance in that while it has become pervasive, it is also now largely invisible.
Accordingly, the erosion of freedoms and privacy, and the impacts on social inclusion and exclusion go almost unquestioned. We’ve become preoccupied with the need for high-tech solutions to everything, whether it’s ensuring robust security and safety or prevention of identity fraud and crime.
Few surveillance instruments are as effective for monitoring the movements of individuals as smart ID cards, particularly when empowered by modern technology and infrastructure.
The Secretary General of Interpol and the EDAPS Consortium clearly know this when in an intriguing announcement in 2011, called for development of an electronic “Globally Verifiable Identity Card.”
The card was envisaged to be embedded with a contactless microchip and integrated biometric technologies providing “automation of border and migration control at all levels” and verifiable “through national and international databases.”4
Taking the globally verifiable identification card to a new level is this curious proposal by science fiction writer Elizabeth Moon, who told BBC in 2012 that to change the world everyone should be issued a unique ID barcode or implantable chip:
… I would insist on every individual having a unique ID permanently attached – a barcode if you will; an implanted chip to provide an easy, fast inexpensive way to identify individuals…5
Moving forward to 2014, is this chorus of calls for ubiquitous surveillance, global ID systems and universal human chip implants merely the paranoid fantasies of spirited imaginations?
Renewed calls for the beefing up of the world’s surveillance systems appear to come on the heels of nearly every major breach of security. Malaysia’s missing airliner MH370 on 8 March 2014 is a good case in point.
Given the frustration with the search for the missing aircraft, China announced at the end of March a curious plan involving “massively increasing its network of surveillance and observation satellites so it can monitor the entire planet.”6
Audacious proposals for high-tech surveillance should give anyone pause for concern. However, it seldom does. As a UK public discussion report notes, the surveillance society is widely “seen as the stuff of science fiction, not everyday life.”7
‘Receive a Mark in Their Right Hand or in Their Foreheads…’
It may seem like the stuff of science fiction but a world in transformation driven by the technology of the age also signals a biblical prediction coming into view.
Referring to a mark embedded at the right hand or forehead of every individual, we turn to consider a fascinating verse from the New Testament that describes a centralised world financial order.
Revelation 13:16-17 reads:
He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark in their right hand or in their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. (King James Version)
These verses come from the book of Revelation written in the latter part of the first century CE. The author is traditionally known as John, the book’s original Greek title is ‘Apocalypse’ which means a prophetic disclosure or ‘Revelation’ from where the latter title of the book originated.
While the ‘mark’ has been a topic of debate for many years, its concept remains to be seen. Will the mark be a symbolic representation or a functioning hardware device? Will it be a visible inscription or concealed subcutaneous implant? Could it be a hybrid of any of these?
Current technologies and techniques already have potential to meet any one or more of these adaptations with variations of scannable tattoos, implantable chips and a growing range of innovative wearable devices.
Looking at the passage more broadly, scholars of eschatology generally interpret the verses with view of a world dictator (“He”) who exercises global authority and control (“causes all to receive”) using a specialised instrument (“a mark”) to enforce a draconian compliance policy (“that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark”).
A crucially important detail in this passage is the mark embedded at the right hand or forehead, suggesting an indispensable device in a newly established opt-in economy in order to buy and sell, with profound implications for surveillance and control.
Surveillance of one’s consumer activities was until recent times a cumbersome process, but with the explosion of a new generation of cashless payment technologies, that has all radically changed.
Indeed, the shopper of today who prefers cashless methods of payment already leaves a trail of digital records that can be tracked and monitored with ease through their daily online and offline shopping activities.
The reason for raising an alarm here is that we can already demonstrate the technical capacity to engineer a completely cashless and paperless economy, outfitted with a centralised global digital currency and embeddable device to replace all existing methods of payment. There would be no means or avenue of escape from this horrendous tightly controlled surveillance complex.
This seems to be the economic model that the passage is describing, and the narrative this analysis will explore, as we look at a few samples among many emerging innovations and developments to affirm that this is the direction the world is heading.
It is also important to consider what these technologies and innovations portend with regard to their possible precursor to the mark, and how they may be familiarising users to be more receptive of an embedded bodily device through exposure and usage.
RFID Technology & Chip Implants
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips have been the object of a great deal of sensationalist commentary over the years.
So what are RFID chips? RFID chips are basically an automatic data capture technology that contains unique identification codes that are readable at varying distances with special reader devices.
The tiny size of the chips, about that of a small grain of rice, and their widening deployment over the years, has generated broad publicised concerns about potential privacy invasion.
These fears are not unfounded. It’s already a mandatory requirement in six states of Australia8 and other parts of the world that domestic animals be implanted with a microchip containing identity data linked to a microchip registry. What starts out voluntary often becomes mandatory.
While deployment of human chip implants in the mainstream has not materialised, it has in no way dampened the spectre of what could be.
As Time magazine opined back in 1998:
Your daughter can store the money any way she wants – on her laptop, on a debit card, even (in the not too distant future) on a chip implanted under her skin.9
Similarly, CNET News 2003, where we read about MasterCard testing RFID technology for the PayPass credit card to be fitted with a chip, states:
It could be in a pen or a pair of earrings. Ultimately, it could be embedded in anything – someday, maybe even under the skin.10
A more recent article on BBC sought to inform readers that “it’s the same exact technology as the card in your wallet” to allay fears of “surveillance and totalitarian control” toward microchip implants.
Unlike cards that can be lost or stolen, “you’ll never lose the chip,” assured the advocate of the technology.
In remarks that read like a glowing endorsement of microchip implant techniques:
An implanted chip, by contrast, could act as our universal identity token for navigating the machine-regulated world. Yet to work, such a chip would need to be truly universal and account for potential obsolescence….
It marks the beginnings of a slow move toward a world where everything will be accessed from a single RFID microchip. If that day comes, I can’t think of a safer place to keep it than inside my own body.11
Promoting mainstream use of human chip implants through the health care industry was a curious television commercial for VeriChip Corp in 2008. Featuring a sequence of patients holding forth a tiny microchip, the ad wastes no time enticing audiences with these apparent assurances:
To think something so small can connect you to everything that matters. When your life and all you love are on the line, Health Link is always with you. When every second counts in the emergency room, providing immediate access to your medical records….12
Cybernetics scientist Dr. Mark Gasson of the University of Reading in Britain foresees human chip implants becoming one of life’s necessities in the near future, according to citations in the Sydney Morning Herald in April 2014:
It’s not possible to interact in society today in any meaningful way, without having a mobile phone. I think human implants will go along a similar route. It will be such a disadvantage not to have the implant that it will essentially not be optional.13
Are these remarks the creative plot for a sci-fi thriller or do they foreshadow biblical mark realities?
By contrast, it was fears of RFID chip implants “becoming widespread in humans” that prompt this warning in the same Sydney Morning Herald article, citing Dr. Katina Michael, an associate professor at the University of Wollongong:
They point to an uber-surveillance society that is big brother on the inside looking out. Governments or large corporations would have the ability to track people’s actions and movements, categorise them into different socio-economic, political, racial, religious or consumer groups and ultimately even control them.14
The spectre of human microchip implants looms.
Smart Chips & Contactless Payments
Contactless payment processes have opened a new chapter in fast, convenient and cost effective methods of payment. Many readers of New Dawn would be familiar with the contactless payment services available in many retail stores.
MasterCard® PayPass™ and Visa payWave are two established contactless payment services on offer throughout Australia.
These services provide contactless payment point-of-sale readers that utilise sophisticated smart chip technology to enable users to make payments with little more than a simple wave of a card. No swiping or inserting the card at the terminal, nor a PIN or signature required for purchases under $100.00.
Unlike the standard RFID chip, the smart chips in cards contain an antenna loop embedded in the plastic. The far more sophisticated modern chip and their variations still use radio frequency technologies but incorporate a microprocessor and internal memory for read/write and secure data storage and management.
Contactless smartcards exchange information with payment terminals using short-range wireless communications and conform to the international standard ISO/IEC 14443 that limits the ability to read and write to the contactless device at a distance less than 10 centimetres.
The significance of these developments cannot be overstated considering the rapid deployment of converging contactless payments and chip card enabled payment innovations in recent years.
It could be said that there’s little experiential difference between making a contactless payment with a wave of a card and a contactless payment with a wave of the right hand. If exposure and repetitive use breeds familiarity, then user sensitivities toward an embedded device-enabled payment paradigm are certainly being numbed.
Quick Response (QR) Codes
Could scannable tattoos become what is the mark that enables those who receive it to buy and sell?
QR codes are two-dimensional machine-readable graphics which consist of a matrix of black modules arranged in a square on a white background. QR Codes are similar to standard barcodes except QR Codes can contain much more information than traditional barcodes.
QR Codes link the physical with the digital world. They are often displayed on brochures, business cards, posters, clothing and other print advertising. When scanned by a smartphone or device, the QR Code directs the user to a website, phone number or other information.
Incidentally, QR codes also enable payments by linking the user’s bank account or credit card information to their unique QR Code. Depending on the app, users can either pay by scanning a QR code, displayed on a bill for example, with their smartphone or merchants can accept a mobile payment by scanning a customer’s unique QR Code on their smartphone.15
While QR codes have been around since the 1990s, it’s only with recent technology we see their extraordinary versatility with enabling a variety of mobile payment methods.16 There’s also been a strange twist to this technology with claims of scannable QR Code tattoos.17
It may be a futuristic and bizarre claim to make that one day such tattoos could enable payments much like the passage describes the mark, but it just goes to show the technology and technical capability is here.
Wearables, Smartphones & Mobile Devices
Software applications and near field communications (NFC) among other innovations are rapidly transforming payment processing ecosystems, creating a new era of convenient and fast payment services, with converting phones and other mobile devices into full digital wallets.
It’s claimed the new digital wallet will soon eliminate any need to carry cash and cards, allowing users to link their debit and credit cards to conduct financial transactions all at the press of a few buttons on a device.18
Once the user has established an account, users can ‘tap’ their phone to pay for shopping at the checkout or pay a friend by transferring money from mobile to mobile.
Enterprising Australian banks and financial service organisations are pressing onward with trials and roll outs of their infrastructure across the country.19
Trials are even being conducted on a payment microchip embedded in the sleeve of suits at the cuff for easy and convenient payments.20 There’s also digital payment bracelets, wristwatches and other wearable payment devices now commercially available.21
It seems the acceleration toward a cashless society is becoming like one of an amusement arcade amid the range of novel payment devices coming onto the market. These innovative payment devices are yet another novelty enticing customers toward fully traceable and trackable digital transactions, indeed cultivating user familiarity with a variety of cashless and contactless methods of payment.
Biometric Enabled Payment Devices
Biometric payment innovations add yet another range of options for the customer to pay, with biometric scanning devices enabling methods of payment typically with finger, hand or face. A familiar range of benefits are advanced including simplicity, speed, convenience and security of payment.
PayTouch22 and MyTouch23 are two services that allow users to link their payment cards to their fingerprint for method of payment.
PayPal, a global payment company, has partnered with Samsung to launch a biometric fingerprint authentication payment option enabled by the Fast Identity Online (FIDO) Alliance ready software. The collaboration allows Samsung Galaxy S5 users to be able to login and shop at any merchant that accepts PayPal on mobile with their fingerprint.24
If there exist any payment technique that could be said to simulate conducting payments with an embedded mark at the right hand or forehead, that would surely belong to emerging hand and face biometric methods of payment.
Biyo is touted as a revolutionary biometric digital wallet that allows users to pay with their hand by scanning the unique vein patterns in the palm to create a secure password. The point-of-sale system requires users to register their palm and link it to a credit card of choice. Once registered, the user can make payments simply with their hand at any store where the Biyo terminal is available.25
It’s trumpeted as the world’s first face recognition payment system and comes from a Finnish start-up company called Uniqul. Uniqul are developing real-time facial recognition payment technology to replace cash, cards and phones and aspire to “revolutionise the world of payments with new paradigms to create amazing payment experiences for users.”26
There is little presence of biometric payments in Australia, however in a recent move toward this initiative, digital banking tech provider The Systems Work Group have taken on eye-print recognition technology for authenticating mobile banking app users.27
Accelerating Social & Economic Transformation
Africa and India offer compelling evidence of the radical transformative impacts of cashless technologies on societies and economies.
The African experience is an amazing transformation, a continent exhibiting by far the fastest growth in mobile money economics in the world amid deep and broad social disadvantage. Mobile money enables users through payment schemes such as SnapScan and M-Pesa to make a variety of financial transactions with just their phone, even where conventional payment infrastructure is unavailable.28
An extraordinary feature of Africa’s mobile money implementation is that they have leapfrogged over vital infrastructure otherwise necessary for consumers to engage a modern economy:
The lack of financial and technology infrastructure could have been perceived as a massive barrier, but instead Africa has managed to leapfrog over a world of credit cards, ATMs, bank managers and branches.29
Evidently the absence or lack of infrastructure is accelerating the transition to a viable cashless society in this instance.
A similar technological marvel is unfolding in India with the ambitious rollout of a 12-digit unique ID number known as an Aadhaar to all 1.2 billion residents across the country.30
The Aadhaar number is stored in a centralised database and links to the basic demographics and biometric information of each individual. It is the largest biometric database in the world. The mission is to empower all residents of the country with a unique identity and a digital platform to authenticate anytime and anywhere.
The program enables millions of rural and poor people through financial inclusion to participate in the modern cashless economy.31 Of important note here is the aim of the ID, as with all sophisticated ID schemes around the world: To create a detailed digital record of everywhere the ID holder goes.
It’s a fascinating spectacle of technological revolution and accelerating social and economic transformation on a scale seldom if ever seen.
Interestingly, when we compare the systems of the mark and Aadhaar, we note a similar layout where both models utilise a unique ID mechanism to enable access to the financial system of the day.
To restate in part:
He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark… and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark.
En Route to the Global System of the Mark
Global citizenship and mobility, international trade, global financial markets and high speed technologies have connected individuals and communities beyond our national borders. Increasingly we’re all part of a connected globalised economy in an era of normalising the digital way of life.
It would have taken some penetrating foresight in decades past to have envisioned the role technology would play today with enabling almost the entire world’s population access to an advancing modern economy, including the world’s poor: “He causes all… rich and poor… to receive a mark…”
Yet, here we witness today this incredible transformation unfolding in places such as Africa and India and elsewhere.
In an interesting note, the Center for Financial Inclusion, citing a convergence of financial inclusion elements including convenient payment systems and the mobile money revolution, envisions global financial inclusion now within reach.32 Cashless technologies are seen contributing to this “profound demographic shift.”33
Indeed, it’s these cashless technologies that signal an approaching mark-based enabled buy and sell system with each passing day. It wasn’t many years ago that a global cashless society was even technologically feasible, but we now have the computing capacity and power to make it all happen, and very quickly if need be.
When we look carefully at what the passage is saying, we can actually see described in this ancient text today’s landscape of cashless and embeddable technologies, which is the system of the mark in its embryonic stage development.
As such, the pace at which the world is approaching this prophecy may well be synced to the quickening technological progress taking place around us.
Engineering the Global Surveillance Society
The cashless society adds a vast new dimension to the surveillance society. Further to being tracked using conventional surveillance techniques, any user of the Internet, credit card or mobile device can now be monitored by their computer and consumer activities.
As was earlier outlined, the surveillance society had already arrived with little public awareness of, and appreciation for, its pervasive presence in our lives. A similar phenomenon is confronting us today with the cashless society and fewer still are alert to its encroaching consequence.
We now embrace surveillance like a dangerous liaison with our preoccupation for everything digital and mobile.
As journalist and author Pratap Chatterjee observes:
Today, the surveillance state is so deeply enmeshed in our data devices that we don’t even scream back because technology companies have convinced us that we need to be connected to them to be happy.34
Exclusive use of cash in the new surveillance economy provides some level of anonymity but even these efforts will be futile when the day arrives that cash is made obsolete.
What could it take to galvanise governments into establishing a purely closed digital economy incorporating a device embedded in every individual to buy and sell?
ID cards, payment cards and mobile devices can be lost, stolen and broken. Accordingly, precursor technologies would converge to create the mark, reconstructed as a hybrid of a unique ID and digital wallet device, embedded in the right hand or forehead for a fully integrated security solution.
How about a crisis of such consequence that threatens world security and social order? With looming global threats and ongoing instabilities, countries teetering on catastrophic financial collapse amid increasing terrorist activity and conflicts abroad, the shifting sands of the current fragile world order would seem to be signalling its systemic breakdown.
Perhaps in the midst of such turmoil or following a worldwide economic meltdown, comes a momentous shift to a cashless society with an embedded device compulsory for every individual to participate in the new global financial order.
However, the newly hatched revolutionary system will be one that ensnares humanity in a totalitarian global surveillance society unlike the modern world has ever seen given such advanced technology in place. We have already crossed the Rubicon.
