The untested 5G plans of telecom to install millions of cell towers on electric utility poles, public buildings, schools, bus stop shelters, in public parks, and anywhere they want in national parks and on federally owned land has been gaining more and more attention and sparking concern.

This development is troubling for those concerned about constant exposure to radio frequency radiation in close proximity to source; more alarming though is the prospect of beaming millimeter length microwaves back down to Earth from thousands of new communication satellites as SpaceX was given approval by the FCC on 3/29/2018 to launch 4,425 satellites into low orbit around Earth, and the total number expected to be put into low and high orbit will be 20,000 with the biggest being: Spacex at 12,000; OneWeb at 4,560; Boeing 2,956; Spire Global at 972.

The first two 5G test satellites were launched by SpaceX in February of 2018, hundreds more will be launched in 2019, the full set of 20,000 could be in orbit during the next 2 years; for perspective 1,738 operating satellites were in Earth’s orbit as of September 2017. Satellites will be about the size of a small refrigerator and be about 880 pounds with a life expectancy of only 5 years. Once no longer functional they will float around as space junk until they eventually fall and burn up as they enter the atmosphere to then float down to the ground as dust or in rain which may or may not be harmful in itself, all of them. This isn’t even taking into account the damage done by things such as liquids and solid rocket fuels on the environment to launch them.

Phased array antennas will be used to shoot beams of radiation at cell phones; satellites will use the same type of phased array antennas used by the ground based 5G systems, meaning they will send tightly focused beams of intense microwave radiation at each specific 5G device which will in turn send back a beam of radiation to the satellite.

Large antennas are used by tall RF communication towers to send blankets of radiation in all directions at much lower frequencies; broad distribution and lower frequencies of microwaves limits the number of devices that can connect through an individual tower, much shorter 5G length will make it possible to use small phased array antennas to send/receive signals.

Phased array antennas are clusters of hundreds of small antennas working together to shoot a ray of energy out to targets that can be arranged in a 4 inch by 4 inch matrix. Microwave rays produced are said to be strong enough to pass through walls and human bodies, if they weren’t to use a 5G device you would need to stand outside.

5G products will have multiple phased array antennas to generate beams to send back to 5G devices mounted on poles/buildings or towards a specific satellite in space. When in a crowded locations such as an airport or shopping center, there will be hundreds of these invisible beams of much stronger radiation flying through the environment. Whether you have a device or not as you move in these new untested environments the body will be penetrated by numerous beams of radiation by others walking around you and the new towers.

Effective radiation power of 5G phased array antennas in mobile devices will be more than 10 times more powerful than current 4G technology, and no one will be free from exposure. 5G beams will also be received and transmitted from new computer equipment, automobiles, and household appliances; Home/office Wi-Fi hubs will be permitted to use microwave beams that are 15 times stronger than signals from 5G phones or 150 times stronger than 4G.

Arthur Firstenberg explains “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.”

These untested ground based 5G systems are already being implemented in dozens of major cities right now, with plans being approved for hundreds of other cities allowing implementation in 2019. Cities do not have the right to refuse 5G as FCC regulations prevent cities from objecting on the basis of health concerns, they can only speak to issues of esthetics and practical matters of equipment placing; in fact cities are required to say yes or face legal action for obstructing telecom company plans. You read that right, once more: cities are specifically prohibited from trying to stop or delay telecom companies from 5G implementation based on basis of health concerns.

Today you can live in locations away from cell phone towers to limit exposure, that is now being taken away, it won’t matter where you live 5G will irradiate you everywhere you are. This untested new 5G system will irradiated everyone with millimeter size, non-ionizing radiation 24 hours a day, with completely unknown health effects. Such studies to investigate possible harm will take many years after these systems are fully implemented to find results.

Investment into 5G and lobbyists are massive, and it is planned to be in full implementation within the next few years, untested. Only time will tell what happens, if harm does come what will happen then, will we be told evidence linking 5G to cancer and other disease is only a conspiracy theory saying the science was settled years ago? Why is no one stopping to think how this might affect all life on Earth by altering the electromagnetic energy alone? Shouldn’t this science to be settled now not later before possible harm can come?
