Controversial Theories Suggest Coronavirus Was Created In A Lab

Researchers have still not been able to identify the original source of the COVID-19 coronavirus. When the outbreak began, initial reports suggested that the virus jumped from an animal to a human in a Wuhan meat market because many of the first cases were connected with the market in some way.
Scientists are still divided on this theory, but some studies have suggested that there were a significant number of early patients who had no contact with the market, and that it could have been spreading silently among citizens of Wuhan before it entered the crowded market where it had an opportunity to infect more hosts and spread more widely. This is one of the numerous different theories that experts have been debating in the months since the virus was officially recognized.
Kristian Andersen, an evolutionary biologist at the Scripps Research Institute, believes that this theory is “entirely plausible,” and has estimated that the virus could have infected its first victim as far back as October 1st, based on a study of 27 genomes from early patients. Although news of the virus did not reach the local or international media until early January, rumors of a SARS-like illness were spreading on social media, and among medical professionals, all through the month of December.
For some reason, which is still not entirely clear, the Chinese government did its best to prevent news of the outbreak from reaching the public, and even went so far as to silence some of the medical workers who tried to warn the world about the virus after treating the first patients. Some journalists have also been arrested for making reports about the virus that the government did not approve of. The Chinese government’s behaviour, and its response in the early days of the outbreak, has raised suspicions among many people both in China and abroad.
There are a few journalists, politicians and even some scientists who believe that the coronavirus could have originated in a bio lab in Wuhan. A paper published and later deleted by Chinese scientists Botao Xiao and Lei Xiao, said that the virus “probably” originated from one of two labs in Wuhan.
“We noted two laboratories conducting research on bat coronavirus in Wuhan, one of which was only 280 meters from the seafood market. We briefly examined the histories of the laboratories and proposed that the coronavirus probably originated from a laboratory,” the paper said.
Although the report was deleted, it did give some insight into actual security problems that the labs in Wuhan had previously experienced. The report highlights the cases of workers who were quarantined or infected after accidents in the lab, including one researcher who isolated himself for two weeks after blood from a diseased bat got on his skin, according to the Latin Times. The same worker was reportedly quarantined on another occasion after a bat urinated on him.
The two labs discussed in the report are the Wuhan Center for Disease Control (WHCDC), which is located less than 300 meters away from the market at the center of the outbreak, and the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which is about 20 miles away. Due to the secrecy surrounding these sites, the level of cooperation between the two facilities is unclear, but according to lab workers, both facilities were experimenting with dangerous pathogens, including mutated coronaviruses in bats.
Suspicions surround the WHCDC lab because it is extremely close to the epicenter and had routine security breaches. Meanwhile, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, despite being a bit further away, is considered a biosafety level-4 (BSL-4) facility, which is the highest level of biocontainment, tasked with handling the most dangerous pathogens in the world, and has been extremely controversial since it opened in 2017.
In BSL-4 labs, researchers can tweak or combine deadly viruses to create mutated strains of the original illness. A 2013 report in Nature indicated that scientists in China were creating hybrid viruses in labs.
“A team of scientists in China has created hybrid viruses by mixing genes from H5N1 and the H1N1 strain behind the 2009 swine flu pandemic, and showed that some of the hybrids can spread through the air between guinea pigs,” the article revealed.
The results of the hybrid virus experiment were published in the journal Science. Such experiments are usually intended to teach scientists more about certain illnesses so they can be treated and prevented better, but other research has involved intentionally making viruses even more deadly than they already were.
Research for SARS, which is very similar to the new coronavirus, only requires a BSL-3 lab to comply with international standards, so studies on this type of virus could have been taking place at either one of the city’s labs, and there is also significant evidence that the Chinese government could be ignoring many of these standards.
The paper also notes that the WCDC facility is adjacent to Union Hospital, where the first group of doctors were infected during the outbreak, which led the researchers to speculate that the virus could have entered the population through the hospital, but they cautioned that it was too early to tell for sure, and said that more research is needed before making any solid conclusions.
This type of accident is not unheard of, they actually happen often in China, the United States, and wherever these labs operate, as detailed in a report last year by Vox.
In December of 2019, an article in Nature reported that more than 100 students and staff became infected with a different pathogen, known as bacterium Brucella, at two different Chinese agriculture research institutions in another Province. On December 7th, The Lanzhou Veterinary Research Institute in central China confirmed that 96 staff members and students have tested positive for the infection. Then days later, over a dozen workers at a nearby research lab were also infected with the pathogen. These cases are still being investigated.
According to the Scientist, the SARS virus has escaped from high-level CDC containment facilities in Beijing multiple times. These strange coincidences caught the attention of US Senator Tom Cotton, who has been outspoken about his beliefs that the virus could have originated from one of these labs.

Cotton’s remarks were met with harsh dismissals from legacy media organizations like the New York Times and The Washington Post, but other experts have also come out in support of the lab-leak theory, including Francis Boyle, who drafted the Biological Weapons Anti-Terrorism Act of 1989.
One of the reasons that Boyle helped to develop the bioweapons legislation was to stop the type of research that is happening at these high-level labs. Throughout his career, Boyle served on the board of directors for Amnesty International, and was involved at a high level in other human rights organizations. He is also a long-time anti-war activist, who has advocated for restrictions on nuclear weapons. As you may expect, his opinions are extremely controversial as well.
A statement issued by a group of international scientists last week attempted to dispel these theories by pointing to analysis which showed that the coronavirus most likely “originated in wildlife.” However, many, if not most, of these lab experiments were done on animals, some of which were on bats that are not native to Wuhan, so just because this virus originated in an animal, does not mean that the “patient zero” animal did not come from a lab.
In a recent notice from the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry Director Wu Yuanbin called for tighter security measures at biological facilities that handled pathogens, leading some to speculate that the new call for security is in response to a recent leak.
According to the South Korean news broadcaster NTD, one of the lead researchers at the Wuhan Institute of Virology was vicious with critics on her WeChat account on February 2nd, where she posted:
“I pledge with my life that the 2019 novel coronavirus has nothing to do with our lab. This virus is a punishment imposed on mankind from nature, to condemn mankind’s uncivilized way of living. Those of you who believe rumors or so-called scientific analysis by unqualified researchers, I advise you to shut your damn mouths!”
NTD also translated the responses from some of her critics, including one lengthy reply from Wu Xiaohua, a WeChat user who holds a Ph.D. in biology. Wu wrote that:
“Many scientists, including Shi herself, believe that this virus must have originated from bats, and would involve one or two virus hosts to explain the gene mutations. Based on current scientific publications, the virus must jump from rats to primates before it can infect humans. Then how is this step—from rats to primates—usually achieved? It can only be done in a research lab by scientists inserting a certain protein from primates into rats. I have personally performed the same type of genetic engineering experiments. You cannot get away by being cavalier. Do you dare to accept the challenge and give us an explanation?”
Wu went on to reference cases where some researchers in these labs kept the laboratory dogs as pets, while others cut up the laboratory pigs and took the meat home to eat. Wu also suggested that lab workers have been caught making a lot of money selling lab animals to markets.
It is estimated that Chinese laboratories use between 12 and 13 million animals for research every year, and exports 40,000 laboratory primates annually.
“Some laboratory animals were sold to markets as wild-caught animals for profit,” Wu Xiaohua said. Wu and other Chinese netizens suspect that the #coronavirus is genetically engineered and somehow escaped from Wuhan's P4 Biosafety lab.

Pope Francis has announced that he is too ill to attend his church service today. As a result the mass was cancelled.
His announcement comes as officials in Italy are scrambling to control the quickly growing COVID-19 coronavirus outbreak which has now killed 14 people and infected over 500 in the country.
Rome specifically, where Pope Francis calls home, has had three known patients, but all of them have since recovered.
There is no clear indication that Francis has caught the coronavirus, he could just be experiencing the common cold or flu. But considering the extent of the outbreak in Italy, there is a possibility that the 83-year-old is suffering from COVID-19, especially considering how many people he interacts with on a regular basis.
Francis appeared sick during a service on Ash Wednesday where he was seen sneezing, coughing, and blowing his nose.
During the Ash Wednesday services the pope expressed his support for coronavirus sufferers.
“I wish, again, to express my closeness to those who are ill with coronavirus and to health care workers who are caring for them,” he said, according to Vatican News.
http://www.facebook.com/DailyMail/videos/591415651440989/
Vatican Spokesman Matteo Bruni assured reporters that the pope’s illness was “slight.”
“Because of a slight indisposition, he preferred to stay inside Santa Marta. All other commitments will go ahead,” Bruni said.
According to the Sun, Francis had interacted with many worshippers in the days before his illness.
Meanwhile, Lombardy governor Attilio Fontana, the region at the epicenter of Italy’s coronavirus outbreak, has placed himself in quarantine after one of his staff members became infected.
Fontana addressed the public in a Facebook video on Wednesday where he appeared wearing a mask over his face.
“For now I don’t have any type of infection so I can continue to work … but for two weeks I will try to live in a sort of self-isolation,” he said.

China beefs up wildlife trade ban as COVID-19 outbreak intensifies

Waking Times
China has banned the trade and consumption of wild animals in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak that has claimed more than 2,700 lives and infected more than 81,000 people, most of them in China, according to the state-run Xinhua News Agency.
A temporary ban on trade in wildlife announced in January was expected to continue until the epidemic was brought under control. However, with the spread of the disease caused by the virus, known as COVID-19, showing no signs of abating, a more comprehensive ban was passed on Feb. 24 by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC), which exercises legislative power in the country.
Some see it as a step toward a permanent ban that would have to be enshrined in the wildlife laws of the country. If passed, it would be a big boost in the global fight against the illegal trade, since China is a major destination for trafficked animals. “If China is able to shut down the illegal animal trade, it will make the world a bit safer from viruses like SARS-CoV, and have a huge impact on wildlife conservation efforts,” Benjamin Neuman, a virologist at Texas A&M University-Texarkana, told Mongabay in an email. “It’s a thing that needs to happen, and if COVID-19 is the reason, so be it.”
Though the trade in endangered species is banned under CITES, weak enforcement and substantial demand for animal meat and for animal products used in traditional medicines have hindered efforts to control this trade in China. Xinhua cited “the prominent problem of excessive consumption of wild animals, and the huge hidden dangers to public health and safety” as justification for the ban.
Researchers say they suspect the epicenter of the epidemic was a wet market in Wuhan, where wild animals and bushmeat was being sold. The novel coronavirus most likely originated in bats and made the jump to humans. The ban on wildlife trade and consumption is an attempt to limit the exposure of people to wild animals that could carry viruses that humans haven’t encountered before and can’t effectively defend against.
The suggestion that the new virus passed through an intermediary host like pangolins before infecting humans has brought attention to the illegal trade in wild animals. Pangolins, shy nocturnal animals found in Asia and Africa, are considered the most trafficked mammals in the world. Though trade in pangolins and pangolin products is banned in China and under the CITES treaty, there exists a massive demand for pangolin meat and scales for use in traditional medicine.
China’s wildlife laws promulgated in 1989 regulate this trade, but it does not impose a total ban on consumption of meat from wild animals and allows captive breeding for commercial purposes.
The new ban was not introduced through an amendment to the country’s wildlife laws, because the legislative session has been postponed in light of the coronavirus crisis. The ban, which takes immediate effect, covers not just wild-caught species recognized nationally and internationally as threatened species, but also the hunting, trading and transport of all terrestrial wild animals for human consumption. It also applies to wild animals born and raised in breeding facilities.
Beijing had already imposed a temporary embargo on sales of wild animals in January. The three state agencies that issued that restriction — the State Administration of Market Regulation, the Ministry of Agricultural and Rural Affairs, and the National Forestry and Grassland Administration — had warned against the consumption of wild animal meat, but hadn’t gone so far as to ban it.
During the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) outbreak in 2002-2003, a limited ban was similarly imposed by China, but was later lifted. “The embargo on wild animal trade is a reasonable decision for disease control,” said Chengxin Zhang, a researcher at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. “The Chinese embargo of trading and consumption of civet, the most notable intermediate host of SARS coronavirus, is thought to partially contribute to the disease control and eventual containment of SARS.”
Preliminary research done by Zhang and his colleagues, not yet peer-reviewed or published, supports claims that pangolins are a highly likely host, alongside bats, of the new coronavirus and others similar to it. “The involvement of bats, civets, and pangolins in the SARS and COVID-19 outbreak suggests that a permanent ban on wild animal trades by ‘wet’ markets should effectively minimize future risk of zoonotic disease spillovers,” he said.
There is a growing call for China to keep the ban in place permanently and amend its wildlife laws accordingly. Conservationists say they hope a permanent ban and messaging around the dangers of wildlife consumption could dampen the demand for contraband wildlife products. Some surveys suggest that people are now more inclined to support such a ban. “There has been a growing concern among people over the consumption of wild animals and the hidden dangers it brings to public health security since the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak,” Zhang Tiewei, a spokesman for the Chinese legislature’s Legislative Affairs Commission, told Reuters.
Others fear that such a ban would push the trade underground and make it even harder to track the emergence of new diseases. According to the World Health Organization, almost three-quarters of all epidemics in recent decades have spilled over from animals. There are also concerns that such a ban will face stiff resistance from stakeholders in the multibillion-dollar wildlife trade industry in China, which employs millions of people.
The new ban also calls for better enforcement of existing laws, a long-standing demand from wildlife activists. The group of experts that advised the NPC Standing Committee on possible revisions to the wildlife laws also presented recommendations for finding substitutes for animal products that are used in traditional Chinese medicine, according to Hong Kong’s South China Morning Post.
“The aspects of traditional medicine that use ground-up animal parts are entirely based on superstition rather than science, and as the latest outbreak shows, are rather dangerous nonsense,” Neuman said. “But tradition is a powerful thing, in China as everywhere else. If the Chinese government is willing to take strong measures to enforce the new rules, they may actually succeed.”

wakingtimes--2020-02-29--New Study Shows Drinking Dairy Milk Could Increase Risk of Breast Cancer

Drinking dairy milk may be a contributing factor in having an increased risk of developing breast cancer , according to a new study conducted by researchers at Loma Linda University Health .
Researchers published the controversial study this week in the Oxford International Journal Of Epidemiology .
They looked at the dairy intake of 53,000 American women and found that higher intakes of diary milk were associated with greater risks of developing breast cancer .
The average age of participants in the study was 57 years old .
Women are typically diagnosed with breast cancer in their 40s and 50s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer then younger women .
The national rate of breast cancer in the U.S. is 13 percent .
It is believed that about one in eight women will contract the cancer .
The rate of breast cancer frequency in the study was lower than the national average .
The study was funded by the National Cancer Institute and the World Cancer Research Fund as a part of a health study exploring the links between lifestyle , diet , and disease .
According to the study , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ breast cancer—but not causation .
The scientists found that consuming as little as a third of a cup of milk a day was associated with a 30 percent increase in the risk of breast cancer .
For women who drink two to three cups of diary milk per day , the study proclaimed the associated risk of developing breast cancer rose to more than 70 percent .
The study found no significant difference in comparing full fat to non-fat milk .
However , the researchers did not take into account other risk factors @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ethnicity , family history , and genetics .
The study was also done via questionnaire and analysis through a database rather than through independent testing , which may skew the results .
In other words , the study is not fully conclusive and more testing is needed .
However , the researchers are warning that “ current guidelines for dairy milk consumption could be viewed with some caution.
” Since there was no independent testing conducted , it is unknown if there is a connection or not .
According to American biochemist Dr. @ @ @ @ @ @ @ one of the most harmful foods consumed by humans , and he has the scientific research to back up his claim .
Campbell has been warning people for years that milk “ turns on cancer ” and that it “ leeches calcium from your bones.
” Dr. Campbell is known for his influential book The China Study : The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted And the Startling Implications for Diet , Weight Loss , And Long-term Health .
The book , based on a 20-year long study conducted by the Chinese @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and the University of Oxford , documents serious negative implications of consuming milk .
According to Campbell , the main protein found in cow ’ s milk is called casein and is a serious carcinogen that can have major consequences for public health in America and around the world .
Campbell says that milk actually makes bones weaker by leaching calcium from them .
“ One thing animal protein does is trigger metabolic acidosis .

New Study Shows Drinking Dairy Milk Could Increase Risk of Breast Cancer
Aaron Kesel, The Mind Unleashed

Drinking dairy milk may be a contributing factor in having an increased risk of developing breast cancer, according to a new study conducted by researchers at Loma Linda University Health.
Researchers published the controversial study this week in the Oxford International Journal Of Epidemiology. They looked at the dairy intake of 53,000 American women and found that higher intakes of diary milk were associated with greater risks of developing breast cancer. The average age of participants in the study was 57 years old.
Women are typically diagnosed with breast cancer in their 40s and 50s, therefore those women had a higher chance of being diagnosed with breast cancer then younger women.
The national rate of breast cancer in the U.S. is 13 percent. It is believed that about one in eight women will contract the cancer. The rate of breast cancer frequency in the study was lower than the national average.
The study was funded by the National Cancer Institute and the World Cancer Research Fund as a part of a health study exploring the links between lifestyle, diet, and disease.
According to the study, there is an association between milk consumption and breast cancer—but not causation.
The scientists found that consuming as little as a third of a cup of milk a day was associated with a 30 percent increase in the risk of breast cancer. For women who drink two to three cups of diary milk per day, the study proclaimed the associated risk of developing breast cancer rose to more than 70 percent.
The study found no significant difference in comparing full fat to non-fat milk.
However, the researchers did not take into account other risk factors for breast cancer, including environment, ethnicity, family history, and genetics. The study was also done via questionnaire and analysis through a database rather than through independent testing, which may skew the results. In other words, the study is not fully conclusive and more testing is needed. However, the researchers are warning that “current guidelines for dairy milk consumption could be viewed with some caution.”
Since there was no independent testing conducted, it is unknown if there is a connection or not.
According to American biochemist Dr. T. Colin Campbell, daily milk is one of the most harmful foods consumed by humans, and he has the scientific research to back up his claim. Campbell has been warning people for years that milk “turns on cancer” and that it “leeches calcium from your bones.” Dr. Campbell is known for his influential book The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted And the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss, And Long-term Health. The book, based on a 20-year long study conducted by the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine, Cornell University, and the University of Oxford, documents serious negative implications of consuming milk.
According to Campbell, the main protein found in cow’s milk is called casein and is a serious carcinogen that can have major consequences for public health in America and around the world.
“Casein is the most relevant chemical carcinogen ever identified, make no mistake about it.” – Dr. Colin Campbell
Campbell says that milk actually makes bones weaker by leaching calcium from them.
“One thing animal protein does is trigger metabolic acidosis. This happens when the body produces too much acid and becomes very acidic, which can be caused by multiple things, including the absorption of casein found in animal protein. Casein makes up almost 90 percent of the protein in a cow’s milk. When the body experiences this type of acidosis, it actually forces the body to compensate by leaching calcium from the bones to help neutralize the increased acidity. Over time, all of this can have severe and detrimental effects on bone health, and studies have shown this,” Katherine S. Pollard, a PhD at the University of California, San Francisco, said in a lecture.
The primary reason for this, as Dr. Campbell states, is that the consumption of casein protein creates an acidic condition in the body, known as metabolic acidosis, which is widely perceived to be a primary driver of a litany of diseases and poor health conditions and has even been called a precursor to cancer.
A previous study of men suggested dairy products might increase a male’s risk of developing prostate cancer by 30 to 50 percent.
Last year TMU reported that a trial showed that human breast milk may do the opposite due to a chemical contained within called Alpha1H. This chemical helps break tumors up into smaller fragments which the body can then rid itself of via urine.
So what’s a milk lover to do? There are many alternatives on the market for daily milk. Milk doesn’t just come from cows. Alternative milks, including those made from coconuts, almonds, oats, flax, and more are readily available in stores and are very easy to make yourself. Often these milks provide even more nutrients than cow milk does too.

The Coronavirus Vaccine as a Source of Dangerous Invasion

This article is based on the research of Annie Logical. Her far-reaching, many-branched piece, “Corona Virus Fakery And The Link To 5G Testing,” can be found at vigiliae.org.
In prior pieces, I documented two of the experimental technologies that may be unleashed on the public, in the rush to develop a coronavirus vaccine.
DNA vaccines inject synthesized genes. The recipient’s genetic makeup is altered PERMANENTLY in unknown ways. RNA vaccines carry the potential to trigger autoimmune reactions: the body attacks aspects of itself.
As if that weren’t enough, there is another element deployed in DNA vaccines. It’s called electroporation.
An online dictionary provides a definition: “the action or process of introducing DNA or chromosomes into bacteria or other cells [including human cells] using a pulse of electricity to briefly open the pores in the cell membranes.”
A pioneer in this field is Dr. David Weiner. He is the co-founder of a San Diego company, Inovio Pharmaceuticals.
NBC San Diego, January 25, 2020: “A San Diego biotech company just received a $9 million grant to develop a vaccine for the coronavirus. Inovio Pharmaceuticals received a grant from the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI).”
If Inovio wins a license to sell their version of a DNA coronavirus vaccine, electroporation will undoubtedly be brought along as part of the technology.
Here is an excerpt from an article, “What you always needed to know about electroporation DNA vaccines,” published in the journal, Human Vaccines and Immunotherapeutics, November 1, 2012: “…the cell membrane also needs to be in a permeabilized [“opened”] state in order to allow passage of the DNA molecule…[Electric] Pulses may be optimized to achieve either a greater degree of permeability of the cell membrane (for passive diffusion of drugs), or a greater degree of electrophoretic effect. As mentioned below, there are various ways to go about this, but generally a series of short high voltage pulses (e.g., 8 pulses of 0.1 ms at 1,000 V/cm voltage to electrode distance) is used for drug delivery, and a combination involving long low voltage pulses is used for DNA transfer [into human cells] (e.g., 1 pulse of 0.1 ms, 800 V/cm and 1 long pulse of 400 ms 80 V/cm).”
In a nutshell, this means that human cells, whose membranes are “too tight” to allow DNA to be injected into them, will be “opened up” by electric pulses, in order to deliver the new type of vaccine.
Apparently, it doesn’t occur to the researchers that human cells may be as “tight” as they are for a reason; and forcing them open with electric pulses, in order to inject DNA, could have unforeseen effects.
Electroporation isn’t the same kind of invasive action as, say, cutting into flesh to remove a bullet, during emergency surgery. The DNA vaccines, along with electric pulses, would be given to healthy people.
But as long as we think of ourselves as guinea pigs, willing to sit still for all sorts of medical experiments, what difference does it make? Genetic-altering vaccines, the body attacking itself, electroporation—if we surrender to the experts, and their assurances, I’m sure everything will be all right.
Right?
“Here’s what we’re doing. It’s quite innovative. You see, with electric pulses, we briefly open up cells and inject DNA, synthesized genetic material, into them. Ordinarily, the cells would reject such an intrusion, but we get around that. Once the genetic material is inside cells, it mimics a virus, and the immune system responds, as if this were an actual viral disease. That’s the vaccine effect. It’s wonderful. Safe.

wakingtimes--2020-03-02--5G and the China epidemic

5G and the China epidemic

When a momentous event occurs , people weigh in .
One person says , ‘ X is the cause.
’ Another says , ‘ No , Y is the cause.
’ Is it possible that X and Y are both causing the event ?
Of course .
But people have a tendency to aim for one and only one explanation .
This is a psychological factor that has nothing to do with the truth .
If a person is starving and also going without water , is there only one reason for his illness ?
Both causes together are creating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ epidemic , ” the combination of deadly air pollution in Chinese cities , and the rollout of 5G technology , could both be operating with horrific effect .
Several petitions have circulated , with the aim of stopping 5G deployment altogether .
From principia-scientific.org , here is an excerpt from one petition , which is claimed to have 26,000 scientists as signatories : “ We the undersigned scientists , doctors , environmental organizations and citizens from ( __ ) countries , urgently call for a halt to the deployment of the 5G @ @ @ @ @ @ @ including 5G from space satellites .
5G will massively increase exposure to radio frequency ( RF ) radiation on top of the 2G , 3G and 4G networks for telecommunications already in place .
RF radiation has been proven harmful for humans and the environment .
The deployment of 5G constitutes an experiment on humanity and the environment that is defined as a crime under international law.
” “ Telecommunications companies worldwide , with the support of governments , are poised within the next two years to roll out the fifth-generation wireless network @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to deliver what is acknowledged to be unprecedented societal change on a global scale .
We will have ‘ smart ’ homes , ‘ smart ’ businesses , ‘ smart ’ highways , ‘ smart ’ cities and self-driving cars .
Virtually everything we own and buy , from refrigerators and washing machines to milk cartons , hairbrushes and infants ’ diapers , will contain antennas and microchips and will be connected wirelessly to the Internet .
Every person on Earth will have instant access to super-high-speed , low- latency wireless communications from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in rainforests , mid-ocean and the Antarctic.
” “ What is not widely acknowledged is that this will also result in unprecedented environmental change on a global scale .
The planned density of radio frequency transmitters is impossible to envisage .
In addition to millions of new 5G base stations on Earth and 20,000 new satellites in space , 200 billion transmitting objects , according to estimates , will be part of the Internet of Things by 2020 , and one trillion objects a few years later .
Commercial 5G at lower frequencies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Finland and Estonia in mid-2018 .
The rollout of 5G at extremely high ( millimetre wave ) frequencies is planned to begin at the end of 2018.
” “ Despite widespread denial , the evidence that radio frequency ( RF ) radiation is harmful to life is already overwhelming .
The accumulated clinical evidence of sick and injured human beings , experimental evidence of damage to DNA , cells and organ systems in a wide variety of plants and animals , and epidemiological evidence that the major diseases of modern civilization—cancer , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ caused by electromagnetic pollution , forms a literature base of well over 10,000 peer-reviewed studies.
” “ If the telecommunications industry ’ s plans for 5G come to fruition , no person , no animal , no bird , no insect and no plant on Earth will be able to avoid exposure , 24 hours a day , 365 days a year , to levels of RF radiation that are tens to hundreds of times greater than what exists today , without any possibility of escape anywhere on the planet .
These 5G @ @ @ @ @ @ @ effects on humans and permanent damage to all of the Earth ’ s ecosystems.
” Because 5G signal transmissions can only move , with useful accuracy , across very short distances , you see the reference , in the petition , to millions of base relay stations that will be built around the world .
I would say MANY millions , if not billions .
They will be positioned on light poles , on buildings , on fences , on all sorts of structures .
Coming soon to your neighborhood ; perhaps to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apartment building .
And eventually , when tiny nanomachines ( sensors ) are installed in the body to report , in real time , on physical changes , and diagnose diseases , you ’ ll have your very own internal 5G transmitter .
Will wonders never cease ?
A number of independent researchers have attributed the so-called “ epidemic ” effects in China to the rollout of harmful 5G technology .
I have written and published several backgrounders on 5G , and I ’ m printing excerpts at end of this piece .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ 5G is currently up and running in major Chinese cities ?
And an allied question : how much of China ’ s 5G is operating at the 60HGz frequency band—which appears to be the most harmful to health ?
Here is a statement from lightreading.com , dated February 24 of this year .
It combines prediction with report : “ China Unicom and its rollout partner China Telecom agreed at a special conference last Thursday to speed up their 5G buildout.
” What is a base station ?
The term seems to apply @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for passing along 5G transmissions .
A small station might be the size of a shoe box attached to a light pole .
It might be much , much larger , a hub containing many antennae .
For the moment , let ’ s assume the base stations referred to in the above article are a combination of large and small installations .
Both types would be necessary to launch an extensive 5G network .
64,000 5G base stations currently up and running in all of China might not seem like a very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a big number , if only a limited number of cities are hosting these stations .
And perhaps other telecom companies are very active , and perhaps they have installed more stations .
How much 5G is currently deployed in Wuhan , which is said to be the initial Chinese center for 5G deployment ?
Wuhan , of course , has been called “ the epicenter of the coronavirus epidemic.
” If 2018 and 2019 5G predictions are close to accurate , the answer would be : a lot .
Any significant deployment @ @ @ @ @ @ @ human damage .
And of course , in order to hide this damage , the cover story of THE VIRUS would be invoked .
“ Don ’ t blame our corporate 5G , or try to derail the hundreds of billions of dollars immediately coming our way .
It ’ s the coronavirus .
Salute the virus.
” One VERY serious claim : when 5G employs a frequency band at 60GHz , disruption in oxygen molecules occurs—and the crucial ability of hemoglobin to pick up oxygen and transport it throughout the body is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with a trusted source .
So far , as I continue to look for more evidence , I believe this assessment is too convincing to dismiss .
The lack of open debate among professionals is a sign that the vital issue is being pushed into the background .
All in all , given the available literature on 5G , in the face of stonewalling and the refusal of telecom industry professionals to step forward with honest reports , common sense tells us to look to Wuhan and other major Chinese cities , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the human damage there , which is being falsely labeled : “ THE VIRUS IS CAUSING IT.
” Globally , the ramifications of 5G are immense .
Here are excerpts from earlier articles I wrote on the subject : A few decades ago , a movement was started to create an interconnected power grid for the whole planet .
We were told this would be the only way to avoid wasting huge amounts of electricity and , voila , bring all nations and all people into a modern 21st century .
But now @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , a classic bait and switch .
The bait was the promise of One Grid for all .
The switch is what 5G will bring us : 100 billion or more NEW devices online , all connected to the Internet and the Cloud .
What could be more wasteful ?
What could be more ridiculous ?
This is the opposite of sane energy use .
Who really cares whether his 5G-connected refrigerator keeps track of the food items inside it and orders new items when the supply dwindles ?
Who has to have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to work ?
Who must have a 5G stove that senses what is being cooked and sets the temperature for four minutes ?
Who lives and who dies if a washing machine doesn ’ t measure how much soap is stored inside and doesn ’ t order new soap ?
Who is demanding a hundred devices in his home that spy on him and record his actions ?
Who needs to load a movie in two seconds ?
With 5G , the ultimate goal is : every device in every home that uses @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” and the planetary grid will connect ALL these devices to a monitoring and regulating Energy Authority .
As Patrick Wood details in his classic , Technocracy Rising , that worldwide Energy Authority was the dream of the men who launched the Technocracy movement , in America , in the 1930s .
They set out the key requirements—which weren ’ t technically possible then , but are quite doable now : continuous real-time measuring of both energy production and energy use from one end of the planet to the other… …So that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ be controlled .
“ For the good of all , ” of course .
5G is a technology for making this happen .
Terms and projects like smart grid , smart meters , sustainability , Agenda 21 , smart cities , climate change—all this is Technocratic planning and justification for Rule through Energy .
The beginning of an actual rational plan for energy would start this way : DUMP 5G .
Dump the whole plan of installing small transmitter-cells on buildings and homes and trees and lampposts and fences all over the planet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bring 100 billion new devices online .
Aside from the extreme health dangers , it ’ s ridiculously expensive .
It ’ s on the order of saying we need hundred-foot robots standing on sidewalks washing the windows of office buildings .
If some movie star wants to install 30 generators on his property and have engineers build him an automatic home , where he can sit back , flip a switch , and have three androids carry him into his bathtub and wash him and dry him , fine .
But planning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to the Internet of Things ?
Who gave informed consent to that ?
Nobody .
A global Energy Authority , of course , is going to decide that a small African country needs to be given much more energy , while Germany or France or the US will have to sacrifice energy for the cause of social justice .
But this is yet another con , because you won ’ t see governments cleaning up the contaminated water supplies of that small African country , or installing modern sanitation , or curtailing the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , or reclaiming vast farm land stolen by mega-corporations and giving that land back to local farmers .
The whole hidden purpose of an Energy Authority is control .
And because the Authority is Globalist and Technocratic , it aims to lower energy use in industrial nations and help wreck their economies , making it much easier to move in and take over those countries .
Who in his right mind would propose a wireless system that relies on many , many , many cells/transmitters placed closely to each other , all over @ @ @ @ @ @ @ far more vulnerable to physical disruption than the present 4G .
You can find many articles that claim the US military must have 5G for their most advanced planes—and for their developing AI-controlled weapons .
How does that work ?
Where will all the transmitter/cells be placed on the ground and in the air ?
?
Something is missing here .
Is there another version of 5G we ’ re not being told about ?
Is geoengineering of the atmosphere the means for tuning up space so 5G signals can be passed along @ @ @ @ @ @ @ obsession to bring 5G online quickly stems from competition with China , which at the moment is in the lead on developing and exporting the technology .
“ If China has it , we have to have it sooner and better.
” This attitude sidesteps the issue of why we must have 5G in the first place .
And the consumer gets what ?
The ability to watch the reruns of Law & Order he ’ s already watching ?
His current TV reception isn ’ t good enough ?
The appliances in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Internet and talk to each other and spy on him and record his energy use , in conjunction with smart meters , for the Greater Good .
Somehow , you really need your toaster connected to the Internet ?
You want that ?
You can ’ t get along without that ?
UNDOUBTEDLY , A KEY PART OF THE 5G PROGRAM IS , EVENTUALLY , MASSIVE NUMBERS OF DRIVERLESS CARS ON ROADS ALL OVER THE WORLD .
This is the plan .
Cars are connected and talk to each other .
Humans play @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Internet of Things decides how , at any given moment , to regulate traffic flows .
Humans learn to be passive .
AND WITH THE INTERNET OF THINGS , THE TECHNOCRATIC ELITE WILL BE ABLE TO INSTALL ENERGY-USE QUOTAS AND CEILINGS FOR EVERY PERSON AND EXERT TOP-DOWN CONTROL ON THE PLANET .
“ Mr .
Jones , this is the voice of your house speaking .
You have reached the assigned limit of your energy use for the month .
Try to get along without energy until next month ’ s allotment comes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the fatuous “ upside ” of 5G is exposed : “ 5G and IoT [ Internet of Things ] promises to connect us in our homes , schools , workplaces , cities , parks and open spaces to over a trillion objects around the world .

This would let us have an entire building of people send each other data in close to no time , thus improving productivity.
” electricsense.com : “ 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 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ neighborhoods , towns and cities.
” “ Thousands of studies link low-level wireless radio frequency radiation exposures to a long list of adverse biological effects , including : * DNA single and double strand breaks * oxidative damage * disruption of cell metabolism * increased blood brain barrier permeability * melatonin reduction * disruption to brain glucose metabolism * generation of stress proteins ” “ Given that 5G is set to utilize frequencies above and below existing frequency bands…But the tendency ( it varies from country to country ) is for 5G to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brings its own particular concerns… ” “ The biggest concern is how these new wavelengths will affect the skin .
The human body has between two million to four million sweat ducts .
Dr. Ben-Ishai of Hebrew University , Israel explains that our sweat ducts act like ‘ an array of helical antennas when exposed to these wavelengths , ’ meaning that we become more conductive .
A recent New York study which experimented with 60GHz waves stated that ‘ the analyses of penetration depth show that more than 90 % of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and dermis layer ’ .
” “ The effects of MMWs [ millimeter waves ] as studied by Dr. Yael Stein of Hebrew University is said to also cause humans physical pain as our nociceptors flare up in recognition of the wave as a damaging stimuli .
So we ’ re looking at possibilities of many skin diseases and cancer as well as physical pain to our skin.
” “ A 1994 study found that low level millimeter microwave radiation produced lens opacity in rats , which is linked to the production of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the Medical Research Institute of Kanazawa Medical University found that 60GHz ‘ millimeter-wave antennas can cause thermal injuries of varying types of levels .
The thermal effects induced by millimeter waves can apparently penetrate below the surface of the eye ’ .
” “ A 1992 Russian study found that frequencies in the range 53-78GHz ( that which 5G proposes to use ) impacted the heart rate variability ( an indicator of stress ) in rats .
Another Russian study on frogs whose skin was exposed to MMWs found heart rate changes ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ use pulsed millimeter waves to carry information .
But as Dr. Joel Moskowitz points out , most 5G studies are misleading because they do not pulse the waves .
This is important because research on microwaves already tells us how pulsed waves have more profound biological effects on our body compared to non-pulsed waves .
Previous studies , for instance , show how pulse rates of the frequencies led to gene toxicity and DNA strand breaks.
” This is just a sampling of 5G ’ s disastrous effects .
There is much more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ take hold , doctors will make diagnoses of DISEASES that seem to have nothing to do with 5G .

Here is a typical standard definition of 5G, from the industry: “5G is the 5th generation mobile network. It will take a much larger role than previous generations. 5G will elevate the mobile network to not only interconnect people, but also interconnect and control machines, objects, and devices. It will deliver new levels of performance and efficiency that will empower new user experiences and connect new industries.” (Qualcom.com)
Several petitions have circulated, with the aim of stopping 5G deployment altogether. From principia-scientific.org, here is an excerpt from one petition, which is claimed to have 26,000 scientists as signatories:
“We the undersigned scientists, doctors, environmental organizations and citizens from (__) countries, urgently call for a halt to the deployment of the 5G (fifth generation) wireless network, including 5G from space satellites. 5G will massively increase exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation on top of the 2G, 3G and 4G networks for telecommunications already in place. RF radiation has been proven harmful for humans and the environment. The deployment of 5G constitutes an experiment on humanity and the environment that is defined as a crime under international law.” “Telecommunications companies worldwide, with the support of governments, are poised within the next two years to roll out the fifth-generation wireless network (5G). This is set to deliver what is acknowledged to be unprecedented societal change on a global scale. We will have ‘smart’ homes, ‘smart’ businesses, ‘smart’ highways, ‘smart’ cities and self-driving cars. Virtually everything we own and buy, from refrigerators and washing machines to milk cartons, hairbrushes and infants’ diapers, will contain antennas and microchips and will be connected wirelessly to the Internet. Every person on Earth will have instant access to super-high-speed, low- latency wireless communications from any point on the planet, even in rainforests, mid-ocean and the Antarctic.” “What is not widely acknowledged is that this will also result in unprecedented environmental change on a global scale. The planned density of radio frequency transmitters is impossible to envisage. In addition to millions of new 5G base stations on Earth and 20,000 new satellites in space, 200 billion transmitting objects, according to estimates, will be part of the Internet of Things by 2020, and one trillion objects a few years later. Commercial 5G at lower frequencies and slower speeds was deployed in Qatar, Finland and Estonia in mid-2018. The rollout of 5G at extremely high (millimetre wave) frequencies is planned to begin at the end of 2018.” “Despite widespread denial, the evidence that radio frequency (RF) radiation is harmful to life is already overwhelming. The accumulated clinical evidence of sick and injured human beings, experimental evidence of damage to DNA, cells and organ systems in a wide variety of plants and animals, and epidemiological evidence that the major diseases of modern civilization—cancer, heart disease and diabetes—are in large part caused by electromagnetic pollution, forms a literature base of well over 10,000 peer-reviewed studies.” “If the telecommunications industry’s plans for 5G come to fruition, no person, no animal, no bird, no insect and no plant on Earth will be able to avoid exposure, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to levels of RF radiation that are tens to hundreds of times greater than what exists today, without any possibility of escape anywhere on the planet. These 5G plans threaten to provoke serious, irreversible effects on humans and permanent damage to all of the Earth’s ecosystems.”
Because 5G signal transmissions can only move, with useful accuracy, across very short distances, you see the reference, in the petition, to millions of base relay stations that will be built around the world. I would say MANY millions, if not billions. They will be positioned on light poles, on buildings, on fences, on all sorts of structures. Coming soon to your neighborhood; perhaps to the sidewalk right outside your house or apartment building.
And eventually, when tiny nanomachines (sensors) are installed in the body to report, in real time, on physical changes, and diagnose diseases, you’ll have your very own internal 5G transmitter. Will wonders never cease?
A number of independent researchers have attributed the so-called “epidemic” effects in China to the rollout of harmful 5G technology.
I have written and published several backgrounders on 5G, and I’m printing excerpts at end of this piece.
The first issue is: how much 5G is currently up and running in major Chinese cities? And an allied question: how much of China’s 5G is operating at the 60HGz frequency band—which appears to be the most harmful to health?
Here is a statement from lightreading.com, dated February 24 of this year. It combines prediction with report: “China Unicom and its rollout partner China Telecom agreed at a special conference last Thursday to speed up their 5G buildout.”
“The two telcos, which last year struck an agreement to jointly build and share their 5G networks, committed to deploying 250,000 base stations by the end of the third quarter – one quarter ahead of schedule…” “In the first half of 2020 they expect to roll out 100,000 base stations in 47 cities, China Security Times reported.” “As of February 20, the two operators had put into service 64,000 5G base stations nationwide.”
What is a base station? The term seems to apply to both small and large relay installations for passing along 5G transmissions. A small station might be the size of a shoe box attached to a light pole. It might be much, much larger, a hub containing many antennae.
For the moment, let’s assume the base stations referred to in the above article are a combination of large and small installations. Both types would be necessary to launch an extensive 5G network.
64,000 5G base stations currently up and running in all of China might not seem like a very big number. But it could be a big number, if only a limited number of cities are hosting these stations. And perhaps other telecom companies are very active, and perhaps they have installed more stations.
How much 5G is currently deployed in Wuhan, which is said to be the initial Chinese center for 5G deployment? Wuhan, of course, has been called “the epicenter of the coronavirus epidemic.” If 2018 and 2019 5G predictions are close to accurate, the answer would be: a lot.
Any significant deployment of 5G in Chinese cities can create human damage. And of course, in order to hide this damage, the cover story of THE VIRUS would be invoked. “Don’t blame our corporate 5G, or try to derail the hundreds of billions of dollars immediately coming our way. It’s the coronavirus. Salute the virus.”
One VERY serious claim: when 5G employs a frequency band at 60GHz, disruption in oxygen molecules occurs—and the crucial ability of hemoglobin to pick up oxygen and transport it throughout the body is seriously impaired. I’ve consulted with a trusted source. So far, as I continue to look for more evidence, I believe this assessment is too convincing to dismiss. The lack of open debate among professionals is a sign that the vital issue is being pushed into the background.
All in all, given the available literature on 5G, in the face of stonewalling and the refusal of telecom industry professionals to step forward with honest reports, common sense tells us to look to Wuhan and other major Chinese cities, and their rollout of 5G, for understanding the human damage there, which is being falsely labeled: “THE VIRUS IS CAUSING IT.”
Globally, the ramifications of 5G are immense. Here are excerpts from earlier articles I wrote on the subject:
A few decades ago, a movement was started to create an interconnected power grid for the whole planet. We were told this would be the only way to avoid wasting huge amounts of electricity and, voila, bring all nations and all people into a modern 21st century.
But now, it’s a different story, a classic bait and switch. The bait was the promise of One Grid for all. The switch is what 5G will bring us:
100 billion or more NEW devices online, all connected to the Internet and the Cloud. What could be more wasteful? What could be more ridiculous? This is the opposite of sane energy use.
Who really cares whether his 5G-connected refrigerator keeps track of the food items inside it and orders new items when the supply dwindles? Who has to have a 5G driverless car that takes him to work? Who must have a 5G stove that senses what is being cooked and sets the temperature for four minutes? Who lives and who dies if a washing machine doesn’t measure how much soap is stored inside and doesn’t order new soap? Who is demanding a hundred devices in his home that spy on him and record his actions? Who needs to load a movie in two seconds?
With 5G, the ultimate goal is: every device in every home that uses energy will be “its own computer,” and the planetary grid will connect ALL these devices to a monitoring and regulating Energy Authority.
As Patrick Wood details in his classic, Technocracy Rising, that worldwide Energy Authority was the dream of the men who launched the Technocracy movement, in America, in the 1930s.
They set out the key requirements—which weren’t technically possible then, but are quite doable now: continuous real-time measuring of both energy production and energy use from one end of the planet to the other…
…So that both energy production and energy consumption could be controlled. “For the good of all,” of course.
5G is a technology for making this happen.
Globalists: “We’re promising a stunning long-range future of ‘automatic homes’, where everything is done for you. But really, that’s the cover story. Ultimately, we want to be able to measure every unit of energy used by every device in every home—and through AI, regulate how much energy we will let every individual consume, moment to moment. We control energy. We are the energy masters. If you want to run and operate and dominate the world, you control its energy.”
Terms and projects like smart grid, smart meters, sustainability, Agenda 21, smart cities, climate change—all this is Technocratic planning and justification for Rule through Energy.
The beginning of an actual rational plan for energy would start this way: DUMP 5G. Dump the whole plan of installing small transmitter-cells on buildings and homes and trees and lampposts and fences all over the planet. Forget it. Don’t bring 100 billion new devices online. Aside from the extreme health dangers, it’s ridiculously expensive. It’s on the order of saying we need hundred-foot robots standing on sidewalks washing the windows of office buildings.
If some movie star wants to install 30 generators on his property and have engineers build him an automatic home, where he can sit back, flip a switch, and have three androids carry him into his bathtub and wash him and dry him, fine. But planning a smart city completely interconnected by 5G to the Internet of Things? Who gave informed consent to that? Nobody.
A global Energy Authority, of course, is going to decide that a small African country needs to be given much more energy, while Germany or France or the US will have to sacrifice energy for the cause of social justice. But this is yet another con, because you won’t see governments cleaning up the contaminated water supplies of that small African country, or installing modern sanitation, or curtailing the forced movement of populations into poverty-stricken cities, or reclaiming vast farm land stolen by mega-corporations and giving that land back to local farmers.
The whole hidden purpose of an Energy Authority is control.
And because the Authority is Globalist and Technocratic, it aims to lower energy use in industrial nations and help wreck their economies, making it much easier to move in and take over those countries.
Who in his right mind would propose a wireless system that relies on many, many, many cells/transmitters placed closely to each other, all over the world? This system would be far more vulnerable to physical disruption than the present 4G.
You can find many articles that claim the US military must have 5G for their most advanced planes—and for their developing AI-controlled weapons. How does that work? Where will all the transmitter/cells be placed on the ground and in the air?? Something is missing here. Is there another version of 5G we’re not being told about? Is geoengineering of the atmosphere the means for tuning up space so 5G signals can be passed along without cells/transmitters?
Part of the US obsession to bring 5G online quickly stems from competition with China, which at the moment is in the lead on developing and exporting the technology. “If China has it, we have to have it sooner and better.” This attitude sidesteps the issue of why we must have 5G in the first place.
“Along with the 5G there is another thing coming – Internet of Things. If you look at it…the radiation level is going to increase tremendously and yet the industry is very excited about it…. they project 5G/IoT business to be a $7 trillion business.” — Prof. Girish Kumar, Professor at Electrical Engineering Department at IIT Bombay
And the consumer gets what? The ability to watch the reruns of Law&Order he’s already watching? His current TV reception isn’t good enough? The appliances in his home will all be connected to Internet and talk to each other and spy on him and record his energy use, in conjunction with smart meters, for the Greater Good.
Somehow, you really need your toaster connected to the Internet? You want that? You can’t get along without that?
UNDOUBTEDLY, A KEY PART OF THE 5G PROGRAM IS, EVENTUALLY, MASSIVE NUMBERS OF DRIVERLESS CARS ON ROADS ALL OVER THE WORLD. This is the plan. Cars are connected and talk to each other. Humans play no role in this. The Technocratic Internet of Things decides how, at any given moment, to regulate traffic flows. Humans learn to be passive.
AND WITH THE INTERNET OF THINGS, THE TECHNOCRATIC ELITE WILL BE ABLE TO INSTALL ENERGY-USE QUOTAS AND CEILINGS FOR EVERY PERSON AND EXERT TOP-DOWN CONTROL ON THE PLANET.
“Mr. Jones, this is the voice of your house speaking. You have reached the assigned limit of your energy use for the month. Try to get along without energy until next month’s allotment comes online…” At electricsense.com (5/12/17), the fatuous “upside” of 5G is exposed: “5G and IoT [Internet of Things] promises to connect us in our homes, schools, workplaces, cities, parks and open spaces to over a trillion objects around the world. It promises cars that drive themselves, washing machines that order their own washing powder and softener plus of course super fast downloads and streaming.” “According to Fortune.com 5G will support at least 100 billion devices and will be 10 to 100 times faster than current 4G technology. (4G was already about 10 times faster than 3G).” “It’ll bring download speed up to 10 Gigabits per second. This would let us have an entire building of people send each other data in close to no time, thus improving productivity.” electricsense.com: “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.” “Thousands of studies link low-level wireless radio frequency radiation exposures to a long list of adverse biological effects, including: * DNA single and double strand breaks
* oxidative damage
* disruption of cell metabolism
* increased blood brain barrier permeability
* melatonin reduction
* disruption to brain glucose metabolism
* generation of stress proteins” “Given that 5G is set to utilize frequencies above and below existing frequency bands…But the tendency (it varies from country to country) is for 5G to utilize the higher frequency bands. Which brings its own particular concerns…” “The biggest concern is how these new wavelengths will affect the skin. The human body has between two million to four million sweat ducts. Dr. Ben-Ishai of Hebrew University, Israel explains that our sweat ducts act like ‘an array of helical antennas when exposed to these wavelengths,’ meaning that we become more conductive. A recent New York study which experimented with 60GHz waves stated that ‘the analyses of penetration depth show that more than 90% of the transmitted power is absorbed in the epidermis and dermis layer’.” “The effects of MMWs [millimeter waves] as studied by Dr. Yael Stein of Hebrew University is said to also cause humans physical pain as our nociceptors flare up in recognition of the wave as a damaging stimuli. So we’re looking at possibilities of many skin diseases and cancer as well as physical pain to our skin.” “A 1994 study found that low level millimeter microwave radiation produced lens opacity in rats, which is linked to the production of cataracts.” “An experiment conducted by the Medical Research Institute of Kanazawa Medical University found that 60GHz ‘millimeter-wave antennas can cause thermal injuries of varying types of levels. The thermal effects induced by millimeter waves can apparently penetrate below the surface of the eye’.” “A 1992 Russian study found that frequencies in the range 53-78GHz (that which 5G proposes to use) impacted the heart rate variability (an indicator of stress) in rats. Another Russian study on frogs whose skin was exposed to MMWs found heart rate changes (arrhythmias).” “5G will use pulsed millimeter waves to carry information. But as Dr. Joel Moskowitz points out, most 5G studies are misleading because they do not pulse the waves. This is important because research on microwaves already tells us how pulsed waves have more profound biological effects on our body compared to non-pulsed waves. Previous studies, for instance, show how pulse rates of the frequencies led to gene toxicity and DNA strand breaks.”
This is just a sampling of 5G’s disastrous effects. There is much more.
It’s full steam ahead for 5G on planet Earth.
Profits, top-down control, new technology—why bother with extensive health studies?
Once the effects on the population take hold, doctors will make diagnoses of DISEASES that seem to have nothing to do with 5G. They’ll call it Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or a variety of blood disorders, they’ll look for THE VIRUS, and they’ll develop new drugs…the one cause they won’t find is 5G.
What do you know? I wrote that last item about THE VIRUS on March 26, 2018, long before the current “China epidemic” emerged.

More than 6,000 homeless people live in San Jose, California, and thanks to a years-long effort they will now have access to tools to help themselves get off the streets and into permanent housing thanks to an innovative initiative.
With bike racks and freshly planted flowers, The Maybury Bridge Housing Project serves as a place for the homeless population of San Jose to receive support while searching for permanent housing.
San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, California Governor Gavin Newsom, and nonprofit HomeFirst CEO Andrea Urton were all present at Thursday’s grand opening celebration.
“This is intended to have individuals become acclimated to being part of a community, to learning how to take care of their units, building independent living skills,” Beatriz Ramos with HomeFirst explained.
In December 2018, the San Jose City Council approved the project but it was delayed due to community pushback as well as legislative roadblocks. As a result, Governor Newsom recently said he will create a streamlined process to approve and develop projects like this one.
“If we can get the obstacles out of the way, cities can move quickly to address this crisis,” Liccardo told San José Spotlight. “We came together as a community because we learned through this process that it takes a village to build a tiny home village,” Liccardo also said. “We are housing people, and that is critical, but we know we have much more work to do because we need many more resources.”
One such resource is Measure E, which seeks to boost the availability of affordable housing. On March 3 voters will have their say in whether Measure E moves forward or not.
To qualify for one of the 80-square-foot homes that features a single bed, desk, and shelves, homeless individuals must have a qualifying vulnerability index score, be enrolled in a rapid rehousing program, and have a job or on the verge of getting one. Slightly larger units will be made available for residents that use wheelchairs. Maybury Bridge residents will stay in the units for only around 60 days. If they stay longer, their minimal rent will increase by 10% after six months.
Shared amenities in the community include laundry and kitchen facilities as well as bathrooms. A computer lab, multiple meeting rooms, a dog park, and lounge are also available.
According to James Stagi, San Jose Housing Policy and Planning administrator, the cost of each home came out to about $55,000. The entire project cost around $2.2 million.
The project was paid for with money from San Jose’s general fund, a one-time Housing Authority award, and California’s Homeless Emergency Assistance Program. Tenants will be charged $20 per month or 10% of their income.
“There’s no way we can resolve this crisis unless we are working collaboratively together at every level of government,” Newsom said. “The state vision to solve this crisis will be realized, at the local level — project by project, large and small.”
Of the project, HomeFirst CEO Andrea Urton said:
“I was homeless as a teenager, and this site is where I would have wanted to live. To know that it’s already working brings me such a great sense of pride and hope for the future. It’s a little overwhelming. We’re grateful that this site will provide 40 individuals a respectful and dignified respite while they wait for permanent housing on their journey.”
