Back to PROMIS briefly ; in 2008 , Salon ran an article shedding some @ @ @ @ @ @ @ its evolution .
Investigative journalist Tim Shorrock reported the alleged disturbing domestic surveillance activities following 9/11 used by the Bush administration to spy on Americans .
Which is ironic , as the original non-forked backdoored PROMIS software was used to spy on American and foreign communications prior to 9/11 with Signal Intelligence ( SIGINT ) technologies implanted by the Israelis and another separate software iteration by the CIA .
Shorrock cited “ several former U.S. government officials with extensive knowledge of intelligence operations , ” who stated “ a vast amount of personal @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of bank and credit card transactions and the results of surveillance efforts by the FBI , the CIA and other agencies ” was included in the new and improved code of Main Core software .
This database had as many as 8 million American names in it , according to journalist Chris Ketcham who reported the massive number of U.S. citizens “ marked ” in 2008 .
The number of names now in Main Core ’ s database , according to a former intelligence source , is believed to be in the “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the triple digits millions ” spanning across the political spectrum .
The other use of Main Core ’ s system since its creation under Reagan is using its detailed access into anyone ’ s life for political blackmail of members of Congress and other influential people , according to a source .
This TOC list likely expands on Main Core , as well as the Obama administration ’ s signing of NDAA in 2011 allowing indefinite detention of individuals without cause .
The TOC list includes — “ Insider threats , ” which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Edward Snowden , and journalists leaking these secrets like Julian Assange .
In fact , last February , FBI Director Wray told the House Judiciary Committee that the Bureau had expanded initiatives “ to focus on insider threats partnering with TCO [ transnational criminal organization ] actors.
” This is a statement that is being re-echoed from 2017 , when Wray stated a similar comment mentioning TCOs during a House meeting .
While presidents change , the leadership under them inside agencies only sees a shift by the replacing of the heads @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and stigmas inside stick with those in the intelligence community .
In fact , Trump ’ s government , U.S. National Counterintelligence and Security Center ( NCSC ) stressed in its latest report that hacktivists and “ public disclosure organizations ” like WikiLeaks pose a “ significant threat ” similar to that of the Islamic State and Al-Qaeda terrorists , as well as Russia , Iran , and China .

The Trump administration and local police are using cell phone contact tracing to track individuals for their own reasons. Further, beyond the CV pandemic, the Trump administration has created a new national security watchlist that includes Americans who have no connection to terrorism. The new TOC (Transnational Organized Crime) watchlist, was authorized through a classified Attorney General order and launched in 2017, Newsweek reports.
This surveillance database allows the government to track and monitor Americans without a warrant, even when there is no evidence they’re breaking the law. Also, anyone who is considered to be an “authority” – be it police to state and federal agencies, and even some allied foreign governments – can nominate any single person to the list.
The criteria to be placed on the new watchlist demands that an individual be associated with “transnational” criminal organizations, including front organizations that are actually foreign government entities. Transnational criminal organizations include not just drug cartels, crime syndicates and gangs, but also political groups such as nationalist parties and information activists. Individuals can be watchlisted when they are suspected of corruption, money laundering, computer hacking, stock market manipulation, health care fraud, even wildlife trafficking.
This watchlist sounds a lot like PROMIS’ Main Core database to this author. Especially the reference to tracking political activists and information activists. Of course, this watchlist has been private since the Ronald Reagan era when Oliver North was first asked to create the database of political dissidents by the then-sitting President. Under Trump the TOC lists is public; whether or not it’s connected to PROMIS is pure warranted speculation.
PROMIS was forked into many reported use-cases for the U.S. government, including an intelligence application on board nuclear submarines of the United States and Great Britain, and the use by both the U.S. government and certain allied governments for inventory tracking of nuclear materials and long-range ballistic missiles. But the most bizarre and frightening use was to keep track of dissident Americans under Main Core.
The Main Core database isn’t just a rumor or conspiracy theory, PROMIS software was used by Iran-Contra fall guy then-National Security Council, Lt. Col. Oliver North to create the dissidents list for Rex-84 that would later evolve to Main Core. North used PROMIS software in 1982 in the Department of Justice, and at the White House, to compile a list of American dissidents to invoke if the government ever needed to do so under Ronald Reagan’s Continuity of Government (COG) program as a liaison to FEMA.
In 1993, Wired described North’s use of PROMIS in compiling the Main Core database:
Using PROMIS, sources point out, North could have drawn up lists of anyone ever arrested for a political protest, for example, or anyone who had ever refused to pay their taxes. Compared to PROMIS, Richard Nixon’s enemies list or Sen. Joe McCarthy’s blacklist look downright crude.
This Main Core database of individuals was given to a handful of individuals, meaning most government officials had no knowledge of the program ever existing. The database was passed off from administration to administration through National Security channels, according to sources.
This writer wrote extensively on Main Core and PROMIS in an investigation on the cover-up of stolen Inslaw software and murders of journalists Danny Casolaro and Anson NG Yonc, CIA intelligence operative Ian Spiro and NSA employee Alan Standorf. See: “Octopus PROMIS: The Conspiracy Against INSLAW Software, And The Murders To Cover Up A Scandal Bigger Than Watergate.”
Activist Post previously warned about the potential for increased surveillance accepted in a viral article that was also re-run by Zerohedge, titled: “COVID-19 Outbreak Is The Trojan Horse To Increase Smartphone Surveillance.”
In that article, this author argued that the coronavirus outbreak was “proving to be the Trojan horse that justifies increased digital surveillance via our smartphones.”
Now it comes out that the Trump administration previously launched its Transnational Organized Crime (TOC) watchlist in 2017, three years prior to the pandemic. Allowing contact tracing will just enable these other systems already in place to come out of the shadows as more and more people accept surveillance as the “norm.”
In 2017, President Trump signed Executive Order 13773, which mandated all federal agencies to make dismantling TOCs a “high priority.” Then the president followed up and signed National Security Presidential Memorandum 7, which implanted “transnational crime” language with a new and broader focus: national security threat actors (NSTAs).
Newsweek further reports:
NSPM-7 defined the individuals, organizations, groups and networks “assessed to be a threat to the safety, security, or national interests of the United States” to include “cyber threat actors, foreign intelligence threat actors, military threat actors, transnational criminal actors, and weapons proliferators.” However, the administration stated that it envisioned “an expansion … to also include additional threat actor categories, as appropriate.”
TOC authorizes numerous agencies to collect data on private citizens even when there is no evidence of a crime or intent to commit a crime. Therefore, that part about individuals watchlisted when they are suspected of “corruption, money laundering, computer hacking, stock market manipulation, health care fraud, even wildlife trafficking,” is irrelevant. The authority given to the feds circumvents the criminal justice system of due process, equal protection under the law, and freedom of association under the Constitution.
Back to PROMIS briefly; in 2008, Salon ran an article shedding some light, detailing Main Core software and its evolution. Investigative journalist Tim Shorrock reported the alleged disturbing domestic surveillance activities following 9/11 used by the Bush administration to spy on Americans. Which is ironic, as the original non-forked backdoored PROMIS software was used to spy on American and foreign communications prior to 9/11 with Signal Intelligence (SIGINT) technologies implanted by the Israelis and another separate software iteration by the CIA.
Shorrock cited “several former U.S. government officials with extensive knowledge of intelligence operations,” who stated “a vast amount of personal data on Americans, including NSA intercepts of bank and credit card transactions and the results of surveillance efforts by the FBI, the CIA and other agencies” was included in the new and improved code of Main Core software.
This database had as many as 8 million American names in it, according to journalist Chris Ketcham who reported the massive number of U.S. citizens “marked” in 2008. The number of names now in Main Core’s database, according to a former intelligence source, is believed to be in the “high double digit millions, heading for the triple digits millions” spanning across the political spectrum.
The other use of Main Core’s system since its creation under Reagan is using its detailed access into anyone’s life for political blackmail of members of Congress and other influential people, according to a source.
This TOC list likely expands on Main Core, as well as the Obama administration’s signing of NDAA in 2011 allowing indefinite detention of individuals without cause.
The TOC list includes — “Insider threats,” which is relevant to leakers like Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden, and journalists leaking these secrets like Julian Assange. In fact, last February, FBI Director Wray told the House Judiciary Committee that the Bureau had expanded initiatives “to focus on insider threats partnering with TCO [transnational criminal organization] actors.” This is a statement that is being re-echoed from 2017, when Wray stated a similar comment mentioning TCOs during a House meeting.
While presidents change, the leadership under them inside agencies only sees a shift by the replacing of the heads of the agencies. However, policies and stigmas inside stick with those in the intelligence community. In fact, Trump’s government, U.S. National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC) stressed in its latest report that hacktivists and “public disclosure organizations” like WikiLeaks pose a “significant threat” similar to that of the Islamic State and Al-Qaeda terrorists, as well as Russia, Iran, and China.
Obama’s DHS didn’t hesitate to call those who believe in conspiracy theories potential right-wing terrorists, stating that the following points might make someone a terrorist in a study by the University of Maryland, which was funded in part by the Department of Homeland Security.
Americans who “are fiercely nationalistic, as opposed to universal and international in orientation”
Americans considering themselves “anti-global”
Americans who are “suspicious of centralized federal authority”
Americans who are “reverent of individual liberty (especially their right to own guns and be free of taxes)”
Americans exhibiting a belief in “conspiracy theories that involve grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty and a belief that one’s personal and/or national way of life is under attack”
Specifically listing Americans who love liberty as terrorists, noting that two subgroups of “right-wing extremism” were identified as “gun rights” and “tax protest,” according to PJ Media.
It’s just a guess, but these are the types of people the government would seek to track without a warrant and that’s a scary thought. According to Newsweek, which details the DOJ’s labeling of TOCs, that assumption may be more than just a frightening speculated conclusion.
The Department of Justice says that the TOC watchlist is “an actor centered database” that eliminates “intermittent and incomplete” surveillance, opening the way for “investigative opportunities” and intelligence collection. In layman’s terms, watchlisting sets off a series of alarms when a person travels, banks, or posts on social media. Watchlisting can prompt government officials to confiscate cellphones and laptops, seeking out passwords, associates and travel patterns. Information collected then becomes part of a dossier of purported wrongdoing that can limit a person’s ability to pass a background check and even test-drive a car. And officials can then use all of what has been collected to justify spying on a person’s emails and phone calls.
The news website discussed the ramifications of the TOC list with a former FBI official, and their response seems to be equally as disturbed as this writer is. “Once you’re on the watchlist, the government has the ability to collect tremendous amounts of information,” retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Jeff Danik, a 28-year veteran who tracked terrorist activity, said. “This data is a bomb,” Danik adds. “You should have great respect for the damage that it can do.”

To upgrade or not to upgrade , that is the question .
Fears of the worst sort are already cropping up as Apple has not made completely clear what software developers will be able to access and use the new core features that allow for Contact Tracing .
The first problem is that many iPhone users don ’ t have a clue what ‘ user-optional ’ means and if they do , they forget to disable the feature .
The second problem is that other app creators may gain access to the Application Programming Interface ( API ) and use @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some who will say that can ’ t ever happen , but I would remind them about Apple ’ s poor track record of closing up holes that have been secretly exploited by groups of developers who knew better , but didn ’ t care about breaking the rules .
The third problem is that while Apple says all data is anonymized , it is the ‘ mother ship ’ who knows everything about you .
It knows what apps you have installed and your continuous location as you move around .
Turning @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it out of your control .
Do you trust Apple to never tell another soul ?
Do you trust it to never come with other uses for the API , once it is spread around the entire planet ?
If governments are allowed to access the API , will they use it only for benevolent purposes ?
The fourth problem is that Google is doing exactly the same thing with their Android platform .
Do you trust Google more or less than Apple ?
If iPhone users do not upgrade to iOS 13.5 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ further upgrades beyond that , period .
This means that you are frozen in time , unable to receive the latest security and other feature updates .
If you choose to upgrade your smart phone to iOS 13.5 , at least sift it with a fine-tooth comb to make sure you have turned all such features OFF , and then do frequent audits to be sure that they remain OFF .

To upgrade or not to upgrade, that is the question. Fears of the worst sort are already cropping up as Apple has not made completely clear what software developers will be able to access and use the new core features that allow for Contact Tracing.
One tech journal notes,
Usage of the contact tracing API is user-optional. Additionally, exposure reports require the user to, once again, opt in to the notification, and it can only be done after the positive result is confirmed by one of the government agencies.
The first problem is that many iPhone users don’t have a clue what ‘user-optional’ means and if they do, they forget to disable the feature.
The second problem is that other app creators may gain access to the Application Programming Interface (API) and use it for other purposes. There are some who will say that can’t ever happen, but I would remind them about Apple’s poor track record of closing up holes that have been secretly exploited by groups of developers who knew better, but didn’t care about breaking the rules.
The third problem is that while Apple says all data is anonymized, it is the ‘mother ship’ who knows everything about you. It knows what apps you have installed and your continuous location as you move around. Turning your health data over to Apple puts it out of your control. Do you trust Apple to never tell another soul? Do you trust it to never come with other uses for the API, once it is spread around the entire planet? If governments are allowed to access the API, will they use it only for benevolent purposes?
The fourth problem is that Google is doing exactly the same thing with their Android platform. Do you trust Google more or less than Apple?
If iPhone users do not upgrade to iOS 13.5, then they will not receive any further upgrades beyond that, period. This means that you are frozen in time, unable to receive the latest security and other feature updates.

Oklahoma City, OK — Since March, unemployment across the country has reached record and potentially catastrophic numbers. In the entire country, a record 38.6 million Americans have filed for unemployment during the pandemic. That corresponds to nearly 25% of the entire United States labor force. While many of these folks are receiving unemployment from state and federal government, many others are not.
Millions of Americans — who watched states close non-essential businesses, subsequently crushing their careers — cannot even access unemployment benefits, according to the Economic Policy Institute. While some of these problems have been remedied, for others, collecting unemployment insurance was never an option.
Business owners who were unable to obtain an SBC loan or other forms of COVID-19 government subsistence have been frantically fighting to reopen their business as they watched their life savings go up in flames. The Free Thought Project has reported on multiple instances in which people unable to obtain government support have tried to reopen their businesses to support themselves, only to leave them in handcuffs. It’s a catch-22.
Of those millions of jobless claims in the United States, over a quarter million of them were in the state of Oklahoma. With a population just under 4 million, 275,000 unemployed residents is massive. While some of these folks have likely sought out and found jobs to support themselves and their families, others have likely endured conditions which may have prevented them from doing so.
As a result of the state shutting down the economy, these unemployed residents of the state have been unable to pay their bills, including their rent and house notes. Now, in spite of the fact that this record spike in unemployment was a function of the state’s COVID-19 measures, Oklahoma is taking action in the form of evictions.
On their Facebook page this week, the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office announced that they will begin physically evicting residents unable to pay their bills. It reads as follows:
EVICTION NOTICE UPDATE We know that this will be difficult, but want to give as much notice as possible regarding OCSO deputies serving eviction notices. Deputies will start serving judicial eviction orders this week, and enforcing evictions on May 26, 2020. We understand how tough times are currently for many as a result of the health crisis the past few months, but we must enforce orders issued by the courts. Once the order is served tenants have 48-hours to leave the premises of the residence they are renting/leasing. Please, if you are set for an eviction hearing, attend. Make your case to the judge, the only person who can determine your case. Civil process, and our issuing evictions is mandated by state law: https://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/DeliverDocument.asp… We will be compassionate, and respectful during scheduled evictions. We are hopeful that everyone issued an eviction will be able to make living arrangements.
Now, as the inevitable effects of the government’s shutdown order crash the economy and force people to choose between eating and paying their rent, that same government is going to start kicking them out of their homes.
See how that works?
As banks and other large corporations across the country receive hundreds of billions in Federal money — ensuring a lifetime of debt for future generations — Joe Sixpack on Main Street, USA is told to kick rocks.
No one here is advocating for people to be able to squat and exploit this situation to get out of paying their house note or rent. However, that is not the case here. While grocery stores and fast food restaurants are hiring, other businesses are told they must operate at 25% capacity or remain closed entirely. This is hardly sustainable when it comes to maintaining a decent work force with substantial pay.
Unfortunately, this is likely the beginning of an economic snowball that will continue to grow as the next few months roll on. As TFTP has predicted from the beginning, the shutdown of the economy will have lasting consequences, unprecedented in nature, and that will be here for a long time. As this case in Oklahoma and countless other ones illustrate, the government’s promise of “safety” almost always ends in human suffering.

The UN Wants You to Stop Using These 14 “Offensive” Words (And Other Weekly News Straight Out of “1984”)

Are you ready for this week ’ s absurdity ?
Here ’ s our Friday roll-up of the most ridiculous stories from around the world that are threats to your liberty , risks to your prosperity… and on occasion , inspiring poetic justice .
The United Nations takes a page from 1984 with a list of offensive words According to the United Nations , the word “ wife ” is apparently offensive to some people .
So is “ husband ” .
Their reasoning ?
Those words are not gender-neutral .
So to “ create a more equal world , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ list of 14 words they want you to stop using… as well as the acceptable substitute .
The word manpower is offensive , naturally , because it relies on the base “ man ” .
And anything that has to do with a man is offensive and terrible in this new world of ours .
So instead of “ manpower ” , the UN wants you to say “ workforce ” .
Same with congressman .
Though frankly the word ‘ congress ’ should be far more offensive than ‘ man ’ .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ to say ‘ legislator ’ .
Instead of husband or wife , the UN wants you to say “ spouse.
” In regards to this website , somehow “ Sovereign Gender Fluid Homo Sapien ” doesn ’ t exactly roll off the tongue .

Oregon lockdown lifted… for a few hours
A judge ruled that Oregon Governor Kate Brown’s lockdown order could only go so far.
After 28 days, emergency decrees in Oregon require legislative approval. But Governor Brown did not receive that approval.
So a group of Oregon churches who were forced to close due to the shelter-in-place order sued the government. And the judge ruled in their favor– the entire state lockdown was ruled illegal, and the judge ordered that it be immediately lifted.
But that only lasted a few hours.
Governor Brown immediately appealed the ruling and took it to the state’s Supreme Court.
While the lower court’s ruling wasn’t overturned, the Supreme Court did cave to the Governor’s emergency motion to keep the lockdown in place while the lawsuit continued.
Of course, the Governor could have just called the legislature back to approve her lockdown order… or perhaps she was too afraid that the voters’ representatives would take her newfound power away?

From RT:
Elon Musk’s artificial constellation of Starlink microsatellites will stream across the night skies above the UK twice this weekend, providing some fodder for amatuer astronomers but some frustration for the pros.
Musk’s SpaceX designed the fleet of microsats to provide cheap broadband internet to neglected areas of the globe.
While this is a noble goal, the swarm of microsatellites has divided the astronomy community: amateurs have added them to the list of casual targets for a night of stargazing while professionals and researchers bemoan the additional light pollution, lampooning Musk for ‘destroying’ the night skies.
Regardless of the controversy, the artificial constellation flyby will be visible tonight on Friday May 15 at approximately 9.35pm London time (GMT +1), and again at 10.11pm on Saturday May 16.
There are currently 422 Starlink satellites in orbit which will be visible as small, fast-moving streaks across the night sky, provided stargazers are far enough away from ground-based sources of light pollution.
Starlink’s website provides a real time map of its location over the Earth to better help fans catch up with the commsats, though time may be running out to catch a glimpse of the little space-based sprites.


activistpost--2020-05-22--5G May Penetrate Deeper Into the Body Because of Its Very Fast Pulse Says Former WHO Scientist

In 2019 , telecom industry executives gave congressional testimony that they had NO scientific evidence that 5G technology is safe .
In 2017 180+ doctors and scientists were already convinced that it wasn ’ t and requested a moratorium on deployment .
Additionally , since 2018 there have been reports of people and animals becoming sick after 5G was turned on ( see 1 .
2 , 3 , 4 ) .
5G is millimeter wave technology .
It travels at a faster speed than other wireless radiation frequencies .
Because of its faster pulse , exposure may be more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , “ the health effects of chronic MMW exposures may be more significant than for any other frequency range.
” Belyaev contends that “ While MMW are almost completely absorbed within 1-2 mm in biologically equivalent tissues , it may penetrate much deeper in live human body.
” “ When a very fast pulse of radiation enters the human body , it generates a burst of energy that can travel much deeper than predicted by conventional models ( Oughstun 2017 ) .
This induced radiation pulse is known as a Brillouin precursor .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ radiation and by high-speed data signals as used in 5G.
” Brillouin precursors can be formed by high-speed data signal as Microwave News 2002 pointed out “ Introducing Brillouin Precursors : Microwave Radiation Runs Deep.
” When a very fast pulse of radiation enters the human body , it generates a burst of energy that can travel much deeper than predicted by conventional models .
This induced radiation pulse , known as a Brillouin precursor .
Brillouin precursors can also be formed by ultrawideband radiation and , in the near future , by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ News article discusses the controversy over the Pave Paws radar system which used phased array radiation .
In 5G communication systems , the phased-array antenna is one of the lead front-end components .
Belyaev 2019 also points to the published research on modulation and posits that , “ Contrary to GSM phones , mobile phones of the 3rd generation irradiate UMTS ( Universal Mobile Telecommunications System ) wide-band signal .
UMTS MWs may result in higher biological effects because of eventual “ effective ” frequency windows.
” “ MMW inhibited repair of DNA @ @ @ @ @ @ @ frequencies and polarizations ( Belyaev , Shcheglov et al .
2000 ) .
” Belyaev , I .
( 2019 ) .
Main regularities and health risks from exposure to non-thermal microwaves of mobile communication .
t14th IEEE International Conference meeting on Advanced Technologies , Systems and Services in Telecommunications – TELSIKS 2019 “ Various responses to non-thermal microwaves ( MW ) from mobile communication including adverse health effects related to electrohypersensitivity , cancer risks , neurological effects , and reproductive impacts have been reported while some studies reported no such effects .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ complex dependence of the MW effects on various physical and biological variables , which account for , at least partially , an apparent inconsistence in the published data .
Among other variables , dependencies on carrier frequency , polarization , modulation , intermittence , electromagnetic stray fields , genotype , physiological traits , and cell density during exposure were reported .
Nowadays , biological and health effects of 5G communication , which will use microwaves of extremely high frequencies ( millimeter waves MMW , wavelength 1- 10 mm ) , are of significant @ @ @ @ @ @ @ studies that MMW , under specific conditions of exposure at very low intensities below the ICNIRP guidelines , can affect biological systems and human health .
Both positive and negative effects were observed in dependence on exposure parameters .
In particular , MMW inhibited repair of DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation at specific frequencies and polarizations .
To what extend the 5G technology and the Internet of Things will affect the biota and human health is definitely not known .

In 2019, telecom industry executives gave congressional testimony that they had NO scientific evidence that 5G technology is safe.
In 2017 180+ doctors and scientists were already convinced that it wasn’t and requested a moratorium on deployment. Additionally, since 2018 there have been reports of people and animals becoming sick after 5G was turned on (see 1. 2, 3, 4).
5G is millimeter wave technology. It travels at a faster speed than other wireless radiation frequencies. Because of its faster pulse, exposure may be more biologically damaging.
From Environmental Health Trust:
According to Belyaev 2019, “the health effects of chronic MMW exposures may be more significant than for any other frequency range.” Belyaev contends that “While MMW are almost completely absorbed within 1-2 mm in biologically equivalent tissues, it may penetrate much deeper in live human body.” “When a very fast pulse of radiation enters the human body, it generates a burst of energy that can travel much deeper than predicted by conventional models (Oughstun 2017). This induced radiation pulse is known as a Brillouin precursor. Brillouin precursors can be formed by ultrawideband radiation and by high-speed data signals as used in 5G.”
Brillouin precursors can be formed by high-speed data signal as Microwave News 2002 pointed out “Introducing Brillouin Precursors: Microwave Radiation Runs Deep.” When a very fast pulse of radiation enters the human body, it generates a burst of energy that can travel much deeper than predicted by conventional models. This induced radiation pulse, known as a Brillouin precursor. Brillouin precursors can also be formed by ultrawideband radiation and, in the near future, by high-speed data signals.” The 2002 Microwave News article discusses the controversy over the Pave Paws radar system which used phased array radiation. In 5G communication systems, the phased-array antenna is one of the lead front-end components.
Belyaev 2019 also points to the published research on modulation and posits that, “Contrary to GSM phones, mobile phones of the 3rd generation irradiate UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) wide-band signal. UMTS MWs may result in higher biological effects because of eventual “effective” frequency windows.” “MMW inhibited repair of DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation at specific frequencies and polarizations (Belyaev, Shcheglov et al. 2000).”

Abstract
“ Various responses to non-thermal microwaves (MW) from mobile communication including adverse health effects related to electrohypersensitivity, cancer risks, neurological effects, and reproductive impacts have been reported while some studies reported no such effects. This presentation provides an overview of the complex dependence of the MW effects on various physical and biological variables, which account for, at least partially, an apparent inconsistence in the published data. Among other variables, dependencies on carrier frequency, polarization, modulation, intermittence, electromagnetic stray fields, genotype, physiological traits, and cell density during exposure were reported. Nowadays, biological and health effects of 5G communication, which will use microwaves of extremely high frequencies (millimeter waves MMW, wavelength 1- 10 mm), are of significant public concern. It follows from available studies that MMW, under specific conditions of exposure at very low intensities below the ICNIRP guidelines, can affect biological systems and human health. Both positive and negative effects were observed in dependence on exposure parameters. In particular, MMW inhibited repair of DNA damage induced by ionizing radiation at specific frequencies and polarizations. To what extend the 5G technology and the Internet of Things will affect the biota and human health is definitely not known. However, based on possible fundamental role of MMW in regulation of homeostasis and almost complete absence of MMW in atmosphere due to effective absorption, which suggests the lack of adaptation to this type of radiation, the health effects of chronic MMW exposures may be more significant than for any other frequency range.”
Excerpts from the section on 5G versus GSM/UMTS
“We tested some real signals from GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication, 2G) mobile phones and UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) mobile phones of the 3rd generation as used in Europe (Belyaev, Markova et al. 2009; Markova, Malmgren et al. 2010). Contrary to GSM phones, mobile phones of the 3rd generation irradiate UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) wide-band signal. UMTS MWs may result in higher biological effects because of eventual “effective” frequency windows.”
“While MMW are almost completely absorbed within 1-2 mm in biologically equivalent tissues, it may penetrate much deeper in a live human body.”
“When a very fast pulse of radiation enters the human body, it generates a burst of energy that can travel much deeper than predicted by conventional models (Oughstun 2017).
