    Hey, mekk, I asked you to please provide us with evidence that 5G is safe. You haven't. You can't, because there is none.

    Yet you're happy for them to go ahead and install 20,000 satellites in orbit beaming this technology to every inch of earth. Is that right? Or am I somehow misunderstanding your lunacy?

    • What logical human being would downvote this? lolset

    • Mekk hasn't replied so that says it all really. Lunatics, everywhere. And they think I'm the lunatic. Life is funny.set

    Seems tough to have a discussion with so many belittling remarks. Has the 5G bee switched on already? Is that cause of the hostility?

    • You're right. I find it difficult not to express my frustration and sadness sometimes. I know what I'm saying sounds utterly bonkers. Sadly it is the truth.set

    i'll admit i'm totally ignorant about this, but there does seem to be more than a whiff of the antivaxxor hysteria about 5g.

    then again there may well be something to their argument, i dunno. the hysteria makes me a little suspicious tho, as well as the fact that it's quite hard to find first hand information - teh interwebz is flooded with copycat doom mongers, and trying to dig out source info is quite hard

    i did find some material on the ericsson website ( https://www.ericsson.com/en/whit… ) - from the little i've gathered (and understood) about the 5g transmitters is that they only focus their rayguns on receivers and transmitters. so presumably if you don't want to be irradiated then you just need to make sure you don't have a receiver/transmitter, ie a 5g enabled phone.

    • it's the dawn of pervasive computing - 'the internet of things if you will' though, the idea is there will be a transmitter in your everything...kingsteven
    • i want to know more about how devices will 'focus' these signals. i think that part of 5G (the undeveloped technology that will work in the 2 - 100GHz bands)kingsteven
    • is the scariest, as it will probably rely on bouncing signals between devices over short distances...kingsteven

    • i see the mad conspiracies, but there is an element of 'what i cant see wont harm me' about the sceptics... it seems like a new era of spectral pollution to me.kingsteven
    • aye, but the old school futurist in me knows this technology can make our lives better, the problem is it's incompatibility with capitalism.kingsteven
    • like animals thriving in chernobyl because cancers wont effect them in their natural lifetime someone somewhere is weighing up the risks of this technology inkingsteven

    Not sure where satellites come into the 5G question - they won't emit that sort of radiation as that's not the realm or scope it's intended for (short distance and wavelength). I'd be more concerned about other military radiation like radars and such. But heck, even if 20,000 satellites in low orbit are somehow emitting unhealthy radiation - you have to take into account the low power generation and density of these type of small-fry satellties. There's simply no physical way such devices could cause humans physical or health problems at ground level, even if we didn't have an atmosphere that soaks up 5G... .

    If there were a multitude of satellites up there with multi-megawatt fusion generators I'd start getting concerned, but there's just no way solar on small satellite can generate enough energy to cause anything like worrisome problems.

    I don't really think that 5G will be a health catastrophe for humans - I may well be wrong (especially kids in small rooms with high concentrations of always-on wireless) - but there's enough people smarter than I to be asking the right questions and doing the right research to highlight if this will be a problem. It's just a form of radiation, and if there's one thing we've done since we evolved from oxygen-consuming surface-dwelling eukaryotes is create defences against radiation. Heck, as a ginger I'm quite aware of biological difference in this regard.

    .

    I do, however, worry about what effect this sort of thing - and I'd include 4G and contemporary wavelengths in this - has on creatures smaller than us. I've entertained the suspicion for a while now that high particulate emissions and cell tower radiation might have a part to play in our problems with apparent insect die-offs.

    I don't think they're getting fried and I don't think they've time to develop cancers and the sort of conditions that we humans fret about, but I do wonder if we're fundamentally missing some aspect of their physiology and perception of the world that is we're simply blind to, because of our difference in scale.

    Anyway, there's this, which you can wade through...

    I'd add - Another way to look at this, or any other question of radiative emission, is to ask what the sensitivity and detection capacity of the receiving widget is.

    Radio receivers in phones and tech are incredibly sensitive - they need to reeive very, very little energy to make their connection.

    Given that you consider the engineering of a system as a whole, with economies to consider, why would you put more energy into the system than is required?

    The levels of energy required to make a digital connection are way lower than the sort of thing you need to worry about boiling water molecules in your body. If that's happening, someone's losing money.

    • the only thing i know of that works in 20GHz bands are those huge parabolic transmitters... the whole this seems very oddkingsteven
    • *thing. i mean, they're big ass dishes fixed in locations for line of sight transmission. i just don't get how that can be made practical for devices.kingsteven
    • given that 5G will also run in 4G allocation how much of the higher frequency stuff is hype fuelled by consumer demand for faster wireless connectivity?kingsteven

    The health hazard that I find more concerning than chemtrails or 5G is the unnamed global memetic pandemic brought on by David Icke exposure. Depending on the amount of exposure it manifests as mild but escalating dissociative disorders, sometimes leading to more severe pathologies like schizophasia and paranoid delusions, and quite possibly brain cancer. That's the real scary stuff. They can't provide us with evidence that Icke exposure is safe because there is none.

    I kind of wish there actually was a genocidal jewish pedophile kabbala, courtesy of the lizard people NWO, so that the Alex Joneses and David Ickes and their shitspreading disciples would be snuffed out. Cleansing the global consciousness, with 5G disruptors from orbit.

    Alas it is delusion all.

    I allow qbn to lower my vibration, because it upsets me to see first hand how ignorant and sure of themselves people are. it's sad. What I'm doing here isn't benefiting me and it doesn't look like it'll benefit anyone else, so I'll shut up now. QBN has been a great distraction from this world sometimes but ultimately it does me more harm than good.

    I still have hope for you all, but it's dwindling day by day. I still don't know whether the state of affairs here on earth is sad, or whether ultimately it really doesn't matter.

    From reading that wired article above, I’m all against it.

    Not because of potential health risks which may or may not be true, we just don’t know yet.

    My objection is to the massive infrastructure needed. They need to build towers or receiving stations every 500 meters apart for this to work???? Wtf???

    The cost is going to be astronomical and that’ll get passed down to us. Paying up the ass for technology we didn’t ask for and don’t need.

    4g and even 3G is more than enough power for what 99.9999% of the population use their cel phones for.

    No offense, but I think I could find a hundred things to be concerned more about than 5G. We got this incredible thing called the internet with access to so much knowledge, yet also so easy for people to fell into conspiracies and misinformation.

    • My problem in this case is the lack of information, governmental bodies are selling the rights to use these frequencies before the technology has been developedkingsteven
    • and doing so in such a forceful way (primarily the FCC) that they're inviting the conspiricy theories. There aren't many technologies using these wavelengthskingsteven
