How the 5G Revolution Threatens Human Health and Nature

Excerpt:

The Internet of Needless Things

The powerful cable cabals behind the push for 5G—AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Time Warner, US Cellular, Spectrum, Cox, Frontier—hope to prosper by promoting the fable of “The Internet of Things.” But is such a world really desirable?  A culture built on “things” —rather than “people,” “services,” “activities,” “work,” “leisure,” or “principles”—would produce a world that is antithetical and toxic to living beings. It would, however, serve the goals of a commercialized culture where the principle goals involve consumption, ownership, control, manipulation, and power.

What’s the attraction to living in a world where “machines can talk to each other”? That’s a worldview straight out of The Matrix.

No one ever asked for a refrigerator that could tell it’s human residents when it was time to restock the carrots or purchase another gallon of milk. Making lists and remembering things are activities that are essential to maintaining mental health. If machines are programmed to perform both “menial chores” and “mental chores,” we will inherit a world where our “thinking” is outsourced to algorithms while our natural, rational facilities are left to wither and atrophy. (This could prove a strategic bonus for the Masters of Materialism who would profit from the diminution of “obstructionist” democracy and the expansion of Mindless Mass Consumption.)

What mother ever asked for “smart” diapers?  What child ever asked Santa for a “smart” bed? These promised “achievements” do little to improve human existence. They are merely the latest alluring concepts conjured by feckless engineers to tease consumers into accepting as “essential,” goods that have no actual purpose—other than to propel a new profit platform for capitol-hungry “innovators” looking for new gizmos to design, manufacture, and sell.

The Internet of Things (IOT) should really be called “The Internet of Things I Never Asked For And Don’t Need.” (Call it the “IOTINAFADN.”) Worse, this promised dystopian utopia requires replacing legacy systems of existing copper wire and optic-fiber cables with less-efficient, less-economical, and slower electronic cell transmitters that would fill the urban landscape with an electronic tsunami of electromagnetic radiation that would inundate cities, parks, and streets day and night.

The Internet of Tumors

The Internet of Things could wind up becoming shorthand for “Internet of Tumors.”

The introduction of such a powerful array of radiators is expected to trigger a wide range of mental and physical problems. We already know that the electromagnetic energy transmitted from small, hand-held cellphones can fry nearby braincells. In 2011, the World Health Organization classified cell phones as a “possible carcinogen.” Manuals for the iPhone 4 warn: “When using iPhone near your body for voice calls or for wireless data transmission over a cellular network, keep iPhone at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) away from the body, and only use carrying cases, belt clips, or holders that do not have metal parts and that maintain at least 15 mm (5/8 inch) separation between iPhone and the body.”

Smartphone users have been warned to hold cellphones away from ears and temples and to limit radiation exposure by relying on shorter conversations, by using speaker phones or headsets and exchanging text messages instead of conversation.

Men now should know that leaving an enabled smartphone turned on in their pants pocket risks sterility. Women now know that storing a live cellphone inside a bra increases the risk of contracting breast cancer. Living in a city invaded by 5G transmitters would be like living inside the world’s largest cellphone.

While most people would cringe at the idea of placing your head inside a microwave oven for 24 hours a day, the corporations that stand to profit from this dangerous technology are promoting the “5G Revolution” as a marvelous, liberating, tool that offers the core values of modern American life—Novelty and More Fun!

But the Revolution is really a counter-revolution. None of today’s cellphones can handle 5G transmissions. That means everyone will need to step up to the counter to buy a new generation of 5G phones—creating windfall for Apple, Sprint, Samsung, and OnePlus.
