The Real Deal: Long Islanders must answer the wake-up call

The latest hi-tech generation of mobile technology utilized by internet companies, cell phone carriers, and other technology providers is the 5th Generation (5G) wireless network known as WiFi.

This technology is touted as providing faster internet and streaming services, better cell phone coverage, and vibrant, “smart cities.”  The 5G technology enables many appliances and a multitude of devices to be hooked up to one control unit,  supposedly reducing commute times and energy usage, and improving safety, courtesy of smart grid “efficiencies.”

Unlike the 4th Generation (4G) preceding it that relies on huge 90-foot cell towers with about a dozen or so antenna ports each – the new 5G system uses “smart cell” facilities, each with up to 100 antenna ports. 

The 5G technology is up to 100 times faster than 4G technology, capable of supporting over a billion devices, relying primarily on the bandwidth of the millimeter wave (MMW), which is between 30 GHz and 300 GHz.  

High frequency waves like the MMWs have a much shorter wavelength that can’t travel far. They don’t travel well through buildings, causing interference with their signal.  “Smart” buildings are constructed with glass to compensate for this, replacing what would have been brick and concrete.  

So 5G utilizes smaller cell stations (beam-forming technology) that will scramble/unscramble and direct packets of data (this is how information is sent through WiFi) on a no interference path back to us, the users.

How can this be done?  By putting wireless antennas on every lamp post, utility pole, and possibly on homes, schools, libraries, and commercial buildings throughout entire neighborhoods, towns and cities.  A relay aerial station is placed approximately every 984 feet or less. 

The International Agency for Research on Cancer, the cancer research arm of the World Health Organization, has declared radio-frequency radiation from cell phones a Group 2B possible carcinogen.

Research conducted by the National Toxicology Program, a program initiated by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as far back as 1978, included two separate studies that revealed exposure to the type of radiation emitted by 2G and 3G cell phones could cause heart tumors, DNA damage, and tumors in the brain, prostate, liver and pancreas.  With 5G technology many more concerns are raised.

Research by Dr. Yael Stein and colleagues of Hebrew University of Jerusalem has revealed that sweat glands concentrate MMWs in human skin, acting as an antenna, which is sensed as heat waves, or physical pain to humans.  

These waves can penetrate one to two millimeters of human skin tissue and also can be absorbed by the surface layers of the eye’s cornea.  In a 2016 letter to the FCC in opposition to 5G technology, Stein wrote of 5G: “Harming and changing our environment and is a disaster waiting to happen.”

According to the Journal of Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology,  MMWs can cause changes in the properties, growth and activity of many varieties of bacteria including E. coli,  greatly affecting the gut. 

These changes occur due to the extremely high frequencies and intensity that 5Gs give off, causing interference with cells in the body and bacteria.  Thereby, this technology could further worsen the problems with antibiotic-resistant bacteria that already plague us worldwide.

Serious environmental issues are connected to 5G technology, particularly since MMWs are absorbed by both plants and rain.  Rainwater can become irradiated, affecting plants and trees.  These waves invoke a stress protein in plants.  Those plants affected could compromise their safety if they are a food source.  

Thousands of peer-reviews worldwide concur that pulse-modulated microwave radiation can cause cancers, DNA damage, infertility, blood-brain barrier damage, and more.  Even low levels of non-ionizing radiation have been linked to various health problems in birds, and butterfly and bee pollinators.

In an open letter to the Global Union Against Radiation Deployment from Space, an international coalition against global WiFi from space, it is stated that “Flooding the Planet with microwave radiation” (satellites that give us communication for cell phones, laptop computers, etc.) is a “violation of human rights.” 

Space-based microwave radiation threatens the planet with radio-frequency radiation without informed individual consent or an option for individual avoidance.

There has been heavy lobbying via the federal and state levels for some years now, for the purpose of enabling telecom companies to have easier access for implementation of 5G technology – simply with no strings attached.

In September 2018 the FCC issued a Declaratory Ruling and Third Report and Order that became effective on Jan. 14, 2019, to remove certain state and local regulatory barriers that inhibit the deployment of 5G infrastructure, giving the telecom companies carte blanche.  

New provisions will override any authority of the municipalities, instead granting authority to the information tech companies to decide cell tower locations on utility poles, streetlights, arenas, schools, college campuses and more. 

Exposure to 5G is involuntary.  Once installed in our neighborhoods, you simply won’t have a choice to opt out.   This is outlaying one of the greatest threats to public health, all the while 5G is being bulldozed throughout our communities.

The technocrats know how much the population loves high technology.  But for the few cognitive individuals still among us, you will take vivid notice and have an issue with a telecom company installing a 5G cell facility outside your home, office, or your child’s school.

The fact remains that installing 5G antennas on millions of utility poles and lamp posts throughout the U.S. threatens untold health consequences and loss of autonomy to all in its path.

Cities and counties across the nation are filing lawsuits to challenge the FCC on 5G Network deployment.   In many of our own Long Island communities, litigation is ongoing, with residents fighting against unregulated cell towers.

To name one victory, in August 2022, in a landmark legal decision, the community of Flower Hill won out over a wireless company’s federal lawsuit after the Village denied permits for 18 small cell wireless antennas. 

5G wireless technology is now being wildly deployed in the entire United States — without the public’s acceptance, approval, or consent — all accomplished with genius technology.
