Back in the 70's, high power microwaves were used by the alphabet groups, to intercept telephone conversations without hardwire taps. That I know for a fact.

     Welp!....... Its time for more then just a foil hat!!!!    Looks like that hat needs a neutralizing frequency....Or maybe a metal outer shell with a dielectric insulating inner one..... Maybe even a Faraday cage for the head. lol  ... Or we could all wear microwaves on our heads.....lol  I wonder how much signal a microwave casing would stop.  Seems like it could actually help.... lol   Man, we should probably all wear body suits, like Faraday coveralls...lol
    If we don't do something it sounds like we will all be getting BBQ-ed.  But from the inside out. Yep, we'll be burning from the inside out and that's a bit biblical....lol                     
  Brings new meaning to KEEP A COOL HEAD......    
Caves are looking better all the time.  A bit of spelunking anyone?  Don't forget your hardhat. 

  Everybody stay cool.....and indoors in a heavy steel and concrete building.....lol

Not sure what all the fuss is about?

microwaves are nicrowaves  Doesn't really matter the frequency  what matters is intensity \

So a regular microwave oven puts out 750 (small one) to 1000 (normal) watts...

A cell tower puts out 1000 watts per channel.  Climb a tower you get fried same as sticking your head into that oven (I would recommend doing neither )

So the 5G is merely a different frequency

'The primary differences between the 2.4 GHz and 5GHz wireless frequencies are range and bandwidth. 5GHz provides faster data rates at a shorter distance, whereas 2.4GHz offers coverage for farther distances, but may perform at slower speeds. ... Higher frequencies allow faster transmission of data, also known as bandwidth."

So  why all the fuss?

yes Mr Q and still are..

They also transmit TV signals, emergency communication, smart meters, radar units,

Microwaves are widely used in modern technology, for example in point-to-point communication links, wireless networks, microwave radio relay networks, radar, satellite and spacecraft communication, medical diathermy and cancer treatment, remote sensing, radio astronomy, particle accelerators, spectroscopy, industrial heating, collision avoidance systems, garage door openers and keyless entry systems, and for cooking food in microwave ovens.

The caveat here is that microwaves travel LINE OF SITE  So since the wave length is shorter in 5G you will need more relay points in order for the signal to work

[ArMaP]

Not sure what all the fuss is about?

Ignorance, as usual.

People that want to spread confusion among the population (either a specific one or the generic population) just need to find a subject that most people are ignorant about and present it in a scary way.

It works every time, if people do not take the time to get informed about it.

[thorfourwinds]

Greetings ArMaP:

that want to spread confusion among the population (either a specific one or the generic population) just need to find a subject that most people are ignorant about and present it in a scary way.

Are you implying that there is NO DANGER from 5G?

[ArMaP]

Are you implying that there is NO DANGER from 5G?

I was not implying any thing, but the danger from 5G is the same that existed before with the use of those frequencies, as they are not new.

For example, one of the new (for cellphone use) frequencies is known as "K band" and has been used by amateur radio operators. Another one, the "Ka band" is used mostly to communicate with satellites and in some radars.

As zorgon said above, the danger lies in the power used and the distance from the antenna, like in any other radio system. As 5G is a short distance communication system the power used is low.

PS: radio is not really an area in which I have more than a little knowledge, but I would the opinion of someone that was an amateur radio operator.

[zorgon]

Greetings ArMaP:

Are you implying that there is NO DANGER from 5G?

No he , as am I , is saying the danger is the same as any other frequency of microwave  5G means 5 gigahertz as opposed to the current 2.5 gigahertz

If anything it will be less dangerous because the range is shorter and it carries tons MORE data for the same energy output (bandwidth)

Similar idea as an old modem carried 56K transfer speed and today a good internet connection can handle multiple lines at the same time with 300M rate for less power than the single line 56K modem

BTW what I find really amusing is that people claim they are hiding cell towers with fake tree branches Well no, it is merely an attempt to make them a little more aesthetic in a neighbor hood  No one is fooled LOL

FRIGHTENING FREQUENCIES: THE DANGERS OF 5G & WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT THEM



By Jody McCutcheon

As the old saying goes, give us an inch and inevitably we'll want a mile. And certainly, this sentiment is true with technology.

Who doesn't want faster, bigger (or smaller), more efficient? Take wireless mobile telecommunications. Our current broadband cellular network platform, 4G (or fourth generation), allows us to transmit data faster than 3G and everything that preceded. We can access information faster now than ever before in history. What more could we want? Oh, yes, transmission speeds powerful enough to accommodate the (rather horrifying) so-called  Internet of Things. Which brings us to 5G.

Until now, mobile broadband networks have been designed to meet the needs of people. But 5G has been created with machines' needs in mind, offering low-latency, high-efficiency data transfer. It achieves this by breaking data down into smaller packages, allowing for faster transmission times. Whereas 4G has a fifty-millisecond delay, 5G data transfer will offer a mere one-millisecond delay–we humans won't notice the difference, but it will permit machines to achieve near-seamless communication. Which in itself  may open a whole Pandora's box of trouble for us – and our planet.


More bandwidth – more dangers of 5G
Let's start with some basic background on 5G technology. Faster processing speeds require more bandwidth, yet our current frequency bandwidths are quickly becoming saturated. The idea behind 5G is to use untapped bandwidth of the extremely high-frequency millimeter wave (MMW), between 30GHz and 300GHz, in addition to some lower and mid-range frequencies.

High-frequency MMWs travel a short distance. Furthermore, they don't travel well through buildings and tend to be absorbed by rain and plants, leading to signal interference. Thus, the necessary infrastructure would require many smaller, barely noticeable cell towers situated closer together, with more input and output ports than there are on the much larger, easier to see 4G towers. This would likely result in wireless antennas every few feet, on every lamp post and utility pole in your neighborhood.

Here are some numbers to put things into perspective: as of 2015, there were 308,000 wireless antennas on cell towers and buildings. That's double the 2002 number. Yet 5G would require exponentially more, smaller ones, placed much closer together, with each emitting bursts of radio-frequency radiation (RFR)–granted, at levels much lower than that of today's 4G cell towers–that will be much harder to avoid because these towers will be ubiquitous. If we could see the RFR, it would look like a smog that's everywhere, all the time.

Serious health concerns
First, it's important to know that in 2011, the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer classified RFR as a potential 2B carcinogen and specified that the use of mobile phones could lead to specific forms of brain   tumors.
Many studies have associated low-level RFR exposure with a litany of health effects, including:

  • DNA single and double-strand breaks (which leads to cancer)

  • oxidative damage (which leads to tissue deterioration and premature aging)

  • disruption of cell metabolism

  • increased blood-brain barrier permeability

  • melatonin reduction (leading to insomnia and increasing cancer risks)

  • disruption of brain glucose metabolism

  • generation of stress proteins (leading to myriad diseases)
      
As mentioned, the new 5G technology utilizes higher-frequency MMW bands, which give off the same dose of radiation as airport scanners.

The effects of this radiation on public health have yet to undergo the rigors of long-term testing.

Adoption of 5G will mean more signals carrying more energy through the high-frequency spectrum, with more transmitters located closer to people's homes and workplaces–basically a lot more (and more potent) RFR flying around us. It's no wonder that apprehension exists over potential risks, to both human and environmental health.

Perhaps the strongest concern involves adverse effects of MMWs on human skin. This letter to the Federal Communications Commission, from Dr Yael Stein of Jerusalem's Hebrew University, outlines the main points. Over ninety percent of microwave radiation is absorbed by the epidermis and dermis layers, so human skin basically acts as an absorbing sponge for microwave radiation. Disquieting as this may sound, it's generally considered acceptable so long as the violating wavelengths are greater than the skin layer's dimensions. But MMW's violate this condition.

Furthermore, the sweat ducts in the skin's upper layer act like helical antennas, which are specialized antennas constructed specifically to respond to electromagnetic fields. With millions of sweat ducts, and 5G's increased RFR needs, it stands to reason that our bodies will become far more conductive to this radiation. The full ramifications of this fact are presently unclear, especially for more vulnerable members of the public (e.g., babies, pregnant women, the elderly), but this technology.


Other distressing research
Unfortunately, innocent animals have already been the victims of testing to see MMW's effects on living cells. Extrapolating the results from animal testing to humans isn't straightforward, but the results nonetheless raise some serious red flags. Perhaps most significantly, a US National Toxicology Program study noted that male rats exposed to RFR for nine hours a day over two years developed rare forms of tumours in the brain and heart, and rats of both sexes developed DNA damage.

The researchers noted that the increased risk to the rats was relatively small; but if these findings translate to humans, the widespread increase in cellphone use could have a significant impact on populations. Thus the NTP study served to renew the debate about the potential harmful effects of cellphones on human health. Not only that, it caused a significant shift in the American Cancer Society's understanding of radiation and cancer, and sparked them to state that our ignorance of RFR's impact on human health could be compared to our previous obliviousness to the connection between smoking and lung cancer.

Other animal research worldwide illustrates how microwave radiation in general and MMW's in particular can damage the eyes and immune system, cell growth rate, even bacterial resistance. An experiment at the Medical Research Institute of Kanazawa Medical University showed that 60GHz millimeter-wave antennas produce thermal injuries in rabbit eyes, with thermal effects reaching below the eye's surface. This study, meanwhile, suggests low-level MMW's caused lens opacity–a precursor to cataracts–in rats' eyes. A Chinese study demonstrated that eight hours' of microwave radiation damaged rabbits' lens epithelial cells. A Pakistani study concluded that exposure to mobile phone EMF prevented chicken embryo retinal cells from properly differentiating.

This Russian study revealed that exposing healthy mice to low-intensity, extremely high-frequency electromagnetic radiation severely compromised their immune systems. And a 2016 Armenian study concluded that low-intensity MMW's not only depressed the growth of E. coli and other bacteria, but also changed certain properties and activity levels of the cells. The same Armenian study noted that MMW interaction with bacteria could lead to antibiotic resistance–distressing news, considering immunity to bacteria is already compromised due to the overuse of antibiotics.

Again, if these findings translate to humans, our rampant cellphone use would likely cause profound, adverse health effects; an increase in MMW's as more bandwidth is introduced could further complicate the matter.

But what's also important to note here is that 5G technologies will not only have a profound impact on human health, but on the health of all living organisms it touches, including plants, as we shall see.


5G harms the planet, too
Equally disturbing, 5G technology puts environmental health at risk in a number of ways. First, MMWs may pose a serious threat to plant health. This 2010 study showed that the leaves of aspen seedlings exposed to RFR exhibited symptoms of necrosis, while another Armenian study suggested low-intensity MMW's cause "peroxidase isoenzyme spectrum changes"–basically a stress response that damages cells–in wheat shoots. Plant irradiation is bad news for the planet's flora, but it's bad news for us, too: it could contaminate our food supply.

Second, the 5G infrastructure would pose a threat to our planet's atmosphere. Network implementation will require the deployment of many, short-lifespan satellites via suborbital rockets propelled by hydrocarbon rocket engines. According to this 2010 California study, launching too many of these babies will vomit enough black carbon into the atmosphere to pollute global atmospheric conditions, affecting distribution of ozone and temperature. Worse, solid-state rocket exhaust contains chlorine, an ozone-destroying chemical. How can any government seriously concerned about climate change allow for this?

Third, 5G will potentially threaten natural ecosystems. According to several reports over the last two decades–some of which are summarized here–low-level, non-ionizing microwave radiation affects bird and bee health. It drives birds from their nests and causes plume deterioration, locomotion problems, reduced survivorship and death. And bee populations suffer from reduced egg-laying abilities of queen bees and smaller colony sizes. More evidence of ecosystem disruption comes from this 2012 meta-study, which indicates that 593 of 919 research studies suggest that RFR adversely affects plants, animals and humans.

It bears repeating: 5G is bad news for all living creatures and the planet we share.

Beware the propaganda deluge

Despite being fully aware of all these unsettling results, threats and concerns, the US corporatocracy continues to maintain a gung-ho attitude about 5G. The Mobile Now Act was passed in 2016, and many US states have since gone ahead with 5G plans. The telecom industry's biggest players have basically co-opted government powers to enforce their 5G agenda, with companies like AT&T and Qualcomm having begun live testing. And despite research showing serious threats to humans and the planet, the FCC Chairman announced intentions to open low-, mid- and high-frequency spectrums, without even mentioning a single word about the dangers.

They're going to sell this to us as 'faster browsing speeds' – but the truth is, you'll barely even notice the difference. They're going to call anyone who protests against 5G a 'Luddite' or 'technophobe'. But why such a willingness to embrace another new technology – even though it carries serious risks and brings spurious benefits? Why not heed the lessons learned from killer products like asbestos, tobacco and leaded gasoline?

Because a tiny percentage of people will gain an awful lot of money, is one reason. And because companies and governments will be given unprecedented amounts of power over civilians is the other.

All isn't doom and gloom, though. At least one US politician is maintaining some level-headedness: in October, California Governor Jerry Brown stopped legislation that would have allowed the telecom industry to inundate the state with mini-towers. Brown's bold actions have permitted localities a say in where and how many cell towers are placed.

The state of Hawaii has stopped 5G and smart meters by collectively threatening to charge every person who installed such meters with liability for any health problems residents may suffer.

Moreover, 180 scientists have started a petition to warn of 5G potential health effects. Maybe these actions will afford more time for additional studies and data collection. Just as importantly, maybe they'll cause other politicians and figureheads to reflect on what they've been pushing for.

Take action
In the meantime, we as individuals must do everything we can to protect ourselves. Here's what you can do:

•  Understand EMFs and their behaviors. Get a good quality radiation detector to know whether or not you're near high levels of EMFs.

•  Protect yourself with an EMF Shield to mark and protect you from hotspots. Try a patented product that neutralizes the harmful effects of mobile phones and other EMF emitting devices on humans.

•  Whenever possible, limit your exposure: use an anti-radiation headset or speaker mode while talking on a cellphone.

•  Refuse to use 5G phones and devices. Full stop. And discourage those you know from doing so.

•  Refuse to buy anything 'smart' – 'smart' appliances, 'smart' heaters, etc.

•  Some believe that carrying shungite crystals can offer some protection from radiation

•  No matter what, do NOT get a smart meter – these put high levels of 5G radiation right in your home

•  Join the growing numbers of dissenters. Get active with them here.

•  Do as the Hawaiians have done and threaten smart meter and 5G tech installers with liability. You can learn how to do that here.

•  Spread the word! Please share this article with everyone you know
      
Even if the policy drivers and governments aren't doing their due diligence, at least we can say we're doing ours.

Promoting 5G is Reckless and Scientifically Indefensible

By Cindy Sage, Editor, BioInitiative Reports
In response to Kevin Werbach's 3/6/19 opinion piece in the NY Times.

It's not just about competition. This one-sided opinion by an economist does nothing to lay out what else the public should know about big problems coming with 5G.

It is also about associated health impacts from 5G and installing the infrastructure via small cells that are, in fact, large emitters of far more radiofrequency radiation than we have now. Health hazards from chronic exposure to cell phone radiation are already scientifically established beyond a reasonable doubt.

Children born in the last 20 years with heavy exposures to wireless at home and at school now have cancer risks that are epidemiologically visible (testicular cancer in boys age 15-19, malignant brain tumors in adolescents at five times the rate of adults).

The epidemic rate of profound mental and behavioral impairments in newborns who will not have normal cognitive function in their lifetimes is in part due to maternal use of cell phones during pregnancy, even as Telecom companies lobby to stop maintaining safe landlines and shift us all to unhealthy and addictive wireless phones.

Nationally, the 4G and 5G densification scheme requires the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of new mini-cell towers mounted on utility poles in front of homes down every block in America. Informed resistance over health harm should doom this scheme which is clearly a federal usurping of public rights-of-way.

5G institutionalizes profit for Telecom and Wireless industries at the expense of public health and safety. No amount of industry self-promotion and complicity of the FCC as a captured agency of that industry can cover up how dangerous and unnecessary this 5G rollout will be. Every movement of its citizens will be trackable, and thus made vulnerable to commercial manipulation, surveillance and disruption.

Clearly, 5G and the Internet of Thing is a marketing bonanza for many industries that want to cash in. Most people have no need or want of more gadgets that monitor every little phase of life, particularly when the network is so prone to hacking, surveillance and privacy problems and disruption of basic services. This is only a boon to industries that want to make money on contrived needs that make ever deeper demands for wireless capacity.

New federal regulations from the FCC have recently attempted to obliterate local community authority to have any say in whether and when this new blanket of hundreds of thousands of 4G an 5G cell sites can happen, while attempting to tie the hands of communities to talk about health issues or say no to this federal power grab. Not surprising, this FCC September 2018 order, FCC 18-133, is facing multiple law suits from many counties, cities and townships. The law suits have been consolidated in in Federal Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.

When the market is forced to face the true costs of 5G to public safety, privacy, disruption of basic services, health damage, both foreign and domestic surveillance and hacking risks, and loss of personal choice – the entire fraud perpetrated by the greedy wireless industry and underwritten by the FCC will be visible and parties will be held accountable.

The New York Times has an ethical obligation to cover these adverse impacts of 4G and 5G densified infrastructure, as well.
