Quite
frankly, after listening to Margo’s report and reading this article
I feel sick to the pit of my stomach in a way that I have felt a
couple of times in the last months when particularly devastating news
comes along.
There
is NO escape from this abomination.
Throughout
the almost 8 years I have been doing this blog I have endeavoured to
look at ALL the factors that threaten human life on this planet and
not concentrated on one threat – abrupt climate change.
Take
away (by some miracle) one factor and you still have at least a score
of other factors that threaten human life.
5G
Satellites Microwave the Earth & EQ Report with Margo (Jan. 7,

20,000
Satellites for 5G to be Launched Sending Focused Beams of Intense
Microwave Radiation Over Entire Earth
by

January, 2019
Public
attention about 5G has been focused on the plans of telecom companies
to install millions of small cell towers on electric utility poles,
on public buildings and schools, on bus stop shelters, in public
parks, and anywhere they want in national parks and on federally
owned land.
In
local urban communities there would be a cell tower approximately
every 500 feet along every street.
As bad as these small cell towers might seem from the standpoint of constant exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation in close proximity to the source, perhaps an even more alarming prospect will be the beaming of millimeter length microwaves at the earth from thousands of new communication satellites.
The
FCC gave approval to SpaceX on March 29, 2018, to launch 4,425
satellites into low orbit around the Earth. [1]
The
total number of satellites that is expected to be put into low and
high orbit by several companies will be 20,000 satellites. [1]
5G
will use Phased Array Antennas to shoot Beams of Radiation at Cell
Phones
These
satellites will use the same type of phased array antennas as will be
used by the ground-based 5G systems.
This
means that they will send tightly focused beams of intense microwave
radiation at each specific 5G device that is on the Earth and each
device will send a beam of radiation back to the satellite. [2]
Previous
generations of RF cellular communication used large antennas to send
a blanket of radiation in all directions. The lower frequencies they
used and the broad distribution of microwaves limited the numbers of
cellular devices that could connect through an individual tall tower.
The
much shorter length microwaves used for 5G will make it possible to
use small phased array antennas to send and receive signals.
Phased
array antennas consist of clusters of hundreds of tiny antennas that
work together to shoot a ray of energy at a target just like a
bullet. A cluster of these tiny antennas can be arranged in a 4 inch
by 4 inch matrix.
The
rays of microwaves they produce will be strong enough to pass through
walls and human bodies. If they were not strong enough to do this,
then everyone with a 5G smartphone would have to stand outside when
using the devices. [2]
Each
5G product will also have multiple phased array antennas which will
be used to create a powerful beam of radiation back to the 5G devices
mounted on electrical utility poles or toward a specific satellite in
space.
These
beams of radiation will also need to be strong enough to pass through
walls and human flesh such as a hand or head to reach the intended
destination. [2]
This
means that if you are in a crowded location, such as an airport or on
a train, there will be hundreds if not thousands of invisible beams
of radiation flying through the environment at the speed of light.
As
people move in that environment, their bodies will be penetrated by
numerous beams of radiation as they walk or as other people walk
around them with their 5G smartphones. [2]
5G
Phones will be much more Powerful than Previous Phones
The
effective radiated power of the 5G phased array antennas in phones
will be 10 times more powerful than 4G phones.
No
one will be free from exposure.
In
addition, 5G beams of microwave radiation will be received and
transmitted from new computer equipment, household appliances, and
automobiles.
Stationary
equipment such as Wi-Fi hubs in homes and offices will be permitted
to use microwave beams that are 15 times stronger (300 watts) than
the signals from 5G phones or 150 times stronger than 4G phones. [2]
Why
is 5G so Much More Dangerous than Previous Microwave Communication
Systems?
Arthur
Firstenberg, author, researcher, and advocate for limiting RF
exposure from the environment, explains the analysis of 5G radiation
that was published in Microwave News in 2002. He stated:
When
an ordinary electromagnetic field enters the body, it causes charges
to move and currents to flow.
But
when extremely short electromagnetic pulses enter the body [5G],
something else happens: the moving charges themselves become little
antennas that re-radiate the electromagnetic field and send it deeper
into the body.
These
re-radiated waves are called Brillouin precursors.
They
become significant when either the power or the phase of the waves
changes rapidly enough.
5G
will probably satisfy both requirements. This means that the
reassurance we are being given—that these millimeter waves are too
short to penetrate far into the body—is not true. [2]
5G
Satellites Will Fill the Skies
These
are the companies with the biggest plans to deploy satellites:
SpaceX:
12,000 satellites
OneWeb:
4,560 satellites
Boeing:
2,956 satellites
Spire
Global: 972 satellites
Arthur
Firstenberg describes the plans of corporations who want to use 5G
technology. He states:
Honeywell
has already signed a memorandum of understanding to become OneWeb’s
first large customer—it plans to provide high-speed Wi-Fi on
business, commercial, and military aircraft throughout the world.
SpaceX
would like to provide the equivalent of 5G to every person on the
planet. [3]
Ground-based
5G Implementation
Ground-based
5G systems are already being implemented in dozens of major cities
right now. Plans are being approved by hundreds of other cities,
which will allow implementation in 2019 and beyond.
As
I explained in my previous articles, cities do not have the right to
“say no” to 5G. FCC regulations prevent cities from objecting on
the basis of health concerns – they only can speak to issues of
esthetics and the practical matter of the placement of equipment.
They
are required to “say yes,” and they better do it quickly, or
telecom companies will threaten them with legal action for
obstructing their plans.
Satellite
Based 5G Implementation
The
first two 5G test satellites were launched by SpaceX in February of
2018. Hundreds of other satellites are expected to be launched in
2019. The full set of 20,000 satellites could be put in orbit during
the next two years.
To
put this into perspective, as of September 2017 there were 1,738
operating satellites into orbit around the Earth. This means the
number of satellites will be 11 times greater than the current
number. [4]
Environmental
Catastrophe from Rockets used to Launch Satellites
Rocket
fuel is very destructive to the Earth’s ozone layer which protects
us from the harsh effects of radiation from the sun. In 2017, there
were 90 rocket launch attempts worldwide. [5]
The
rockets that use solid fuel produce massive ozone depletion. While
rockets using liquid kerosene as fuel destroy less ozone, they
release massive amounts of black carbon soot into the air, especially
at high altitudes.
If
the number of annual rocket launches increases by 10 or more times,
which is likely under the plans these corporations have made,
computer models suggest that the combination of ozone depletion and
release of black soot could produce a 3 degree warming effect over
the Antarctic and reduce the ozone in the world’s atmosphere by 4%.
[3]
Even
though it will be possible for a single rocket to put multiple
satellites into orbit, we are still talking about a 10 or 20 fold
increase in environmental damage over what is being produced today.
[3]
The
5G satellites have a relatively short lifespan, perhaps only 5 years,
which means there will be high numbers of rocket launches, not just
in the next few years, but in every year for the foreseeable future.
[3]
Mercury-based
Rocket Fuel Could Spread Neurotoxins Over the Earth
As
bad as liquid and solid rocket fuels will be for the environment,
Apollo Fusion is developing a mercury-based propulsion system for
launching rockets.
These
ion propulsion rocket engines use powerful magnets to push away small
charged particles at high speeds, which generates thrust. NASA
experimented with mercury ion propulsion in the 1960s, but abandoned
the research.
Mercury
is an extremely strong neurotoxin, which is harmful to all forms of
life, especially humans.
The
risks of an environmental catastrophe are monumental, because if
there was a malfunction and one of these engines exploded, highly
toxic mercury would be spread through the atmosphere and over the
Earth. [6]
All
the talk from telecom companies about 5G being a panacea for
environmental protection and energy conservation is quite ridiculous
when we think about the environmental damage that will be created by
any of the rocket engines they choose to use for launching their
satellites.
Space
Junk will Pollute the Earth
Each
satellite will be the size of a small refrigerator and will weigh
approximately 880 pounds. [4]
With
a life expectancy of only 5-years [3], this means there will be a
massive amount of space junk orbiting the Earth.
Eventually,
all those satellites will fall down to Earth and will burn up as they
enter the Earth’s atmosphere.
All
the hazardous materials in the satellites will be released into the
air and will float down to the ground as dust or in droplets of rain.
Telecom
Companies are Creating a Worldwide Disaster in the Name of
Technological Progress
5G
is promoted as being the next great wonder in the plan to advance
technology to create smart cities where everything and everyone is
instantly connected in real time with no lags or lost signals.
Of
course there will be a few costs.
Everyone
will be irradiated with millimeter-size, non-ionizing radiation 24
hours a day with completely unknown health effects.
Studies
designed to investigate harm from 5G will be completed many years
after the 5G systems on the ground and in space are fully
implemented.
At
that point it is very unlikely that telecom companies would dismantle
their systems even if it is shown that their technology is causing
cancer and other diseases. They would just deny the risks.
They
will tell us that the science was settled decades ago. They will tell
us that evidence linking 5G to cancer and other diseases is just a
conspiracy theory that only a few crackpots believe.
Millions
of people will suffer from radiation exposure with symptoms such as
headaches, weakness, brain fog, impaired ability to learn and reason,
chest pain, and numerous other symptoms that will baffle most
conventional physicians.
There
is Nowhere to Hide from 5G Radiation
Today,
it is possible to live in a location that has reduced levels of
microwave exposure. This is accomplished by choosing a living space
that is far away from cell phone towers.
However,
in the near future, it won’t matter where we live, because 5G will
irradiate us wherever we happen to live or work.
Cities
Can’t Say No to 5G Implementation
FCC
regulations have been structured in such a way that local
municipalities cannot stop telecom companies from installing 5G. They
are specifically prohibited from trying to delay or stop 5G
implementation on the basis of health concerns. Their only recourse
is to try to make the ground-based 5G system somewhat more
esthetically pleasant.
Based
on what has been happening around the country, telecom companies are
sweeping aside local resistance and gaining approval for their 5G
systems in rapid succession.
Can
5G Implementation be Stopped?
As
far as I can tell, at this point, the only way that 5G will be
stopped will be by congressional action. If enough people raise a
stink with their elected officials, then perhaps 5G could be put on
hold while studies are done to examine the true health risks.
Telecom
investment in 5G has been massive. They are planning full
implementation on the ground and in space in the next couple years.
The time to object is now and not after hundreds of thousands of
people become sick. [7]
