Update on 5G Legal Action – Help us secure a safer future. We are pleased to let you know that we are applying for permission to appeal the judgment received on March 8th.

The government stated repeatedly over the course of the Court Hearing that its “opinion” is that 5G is safe; this opinion has been arrived at apparently without scrutinising the position of ICNIRP, upon which the government itself relies. ICNIRP does not say that 5G is safe; not only does it leave many questions as to safety unanswered, but it also specifically sets out members of the public who are excluded from its notion of protection.

Glastonbury Town Council Meeting, 14 March 2023. Sandi Adams delivers powerful 11min speech on Smart Cities and Agenda 2021/2030.

Here is a great interview with Sandi Adams about how the opportunity came about and the level of awareness at this particular council.

Net Zero – BBC podcast, with some talk about the Body Electric at time 11m 50secs. “Every cell in out body carries an electrical charge. In her new book, We Are Electric: The New Science of Our Body’s Electrome, Sally Adee discusses how this facet might be harnessed for the detection of illnesses, medical treatments and whether it will allow us to develop hidden powers.” Significant progress, thank you Sally Adee !

Yet another report has been recently declassified, this from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Washington DC. It seeks to identify the likely causes of “Havana Syndrome.”

“Havana syndrome is a series of debilitating symptoms that first affected U.S. intelligence officers and embassy staffers stationed in Havana, Cuba, in late 2016. In the following year, American diplomats in different parts of the world reported similar symptoms”.

Beamforming 5G waves. Beamforming will also work with massive MIMO, in which large numbers of antennas at a 5G base station direct beams to user devices both horizontally and vertically in order to improve throughput and efficiency.

Telco beam forming so far is not the same as Active Denial weapons systems!

ICNIRP Guidelines’ Exposure Assessment Method for 5G Millimetre Wave Radiation May Trigger Adverse Effects The authors point out that the high data rate of Gigabits per second (Gbps – billion bits per second) associated with 5G communications may trigger an EMF wavefront called the Brillouin precursor, driving EMF energy much deeper into the body.

Councillor raises public concerns over safety of 5G masts A report is to come before Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council’s planning committee in an attempt to address health and safety concerns around 5G telecommunications masts.

Authorities should be afraid of being sued by constituents in state court not telcos. If you pander to the telcos then remember the ballot box.

Shortcomings in Telco mast applications

Telecoms usually say that there are gaps in the service, therefore a new 5G mast is needed : this is usually NOT true. Under NPPF para 115 Telco applicants must prove gap in service. A gap in 5G is not usually significant – because 3G-4G suffices, and is usually there.

A gap must be such that an end user/customer cannot connect to a landline – and thus most applications must fail, and are falsely presented in the SSSI report of Telco Prior Approval applications.

“The number of radio and electronic communications masts, and the sites for such installations, should be kept to a minimum consistent with the needs of consumers, the efficient operation of the network and providing reasonable capacity for future expansion.”

NPPF para 115

Incorrect claim: UK gov – 5G masts have no significant impact on consumption.

Industry Fact: 5G is power hungry and can consume 3-4x energy required for 4G, and maybe up to 61x by 2030. There would also be mutliple x more 5G masts for a mmWave spectrum.

No transparency: unanswered FOIR and Objection letter requests:

Connection and Service: prioritise wired broadband. How do we know that wireless services will connect the unconnected?

Telecoms need added capacity for future demand : added capacity not supported by Telecoms Act ? (why wouldnt it be though – industry should anticipate demand)

Digital Equity : 5G unlikely to remedy, more likely to make it worse. Devaluation of property by up to 20%. Could be impossible to get a mortgage within Fall Zone.

UKHSA emission limits : Immunizes industry from liability for personal harm. Safe for public ?? FCC found guilty in Spupreme Court 2021 of refusing to review 11,000pp of scientific studies showing harm below ICNIRP limits, judged as “arbitrary and capricious”. Outdate 1996 limits remanded back for re-appraisal.

Adverse health and environmental impacts : no pre-market testing, IARC classified as possible carcinogen (2B) in 2011. New Hants commission found harm below FCC/ICNIRP limits.

Wireless Radiation : is a pollutant characterised by Telecoms. Personal injury is not insured.
