An International Appeal to Halt Rollout of 5G
(by Rhoda Wilson | The Exposé) – Albert Einstein famously asserted that “God does not play dice.” Yet by pursuing the broadcast on Earth and from space of 5G, world governments are recklessly playing dice with the future of life on Earth.
Even before 5G was proposed, dozens of petitions and appeals by international scientists, including the Freiburger Appeal signed by over 3,000 physicians, called for a halt to the expansion of wireless technology and a moratorium on new base stations.
In 2015, 215 scientists from 41 countries communicated their alarm to the United Nations (“UN”) and World Health Organisation (“WHO”). They stated that “numerous recent scientific publications have shown that EMF [electromagnetic fields] affects living organisms at levels well below most international and national guidelines.”
Now, 302,891 signatories from 216 nations and territories have signed an international appeal to stop 5G both on Earth and in space:
We the undersigned scientists, doctors, environmental organisations and citizens … urgently call for a halt to the deployment of the 5G (fifth generation) wireless network, including 5G from space satellites …The deployment of 5G constitutes an experiment on humanity and the environment that is defined as a crime under international law.
The appeal, which was launched in 2018, calls on the UN, WHO, European Union, Council of Europe and governments of all nations:
- To take immediate measures to halt the deployment of 5G on Earth and in space.
- To follow the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and Council of Europe Resolution 1815 by informing citizens, including teachers and physicians, about the health risks (to adults and children) from radiofrequency (“RF”) radiation.
- To favour and implement wired telecommunications instead of wireless.
- To prohibit the wireless/telecommunications industry, through its lobbying organisations, from persuading officials to make decisions permitting further expansion of RF radiation.
- To appoint immediately – without industry influence – international groups of independent, truly impartial EMF and health scientists with no conflicts of interest, for the purpose of establishing new international safety standards for RF radiation.
- To appoint immediately – without industry influence – international groups of scientists with expertise in electromagnetic fields (“EMFs”), health, biology and atmospheric physics, for the purpose of developing a comprehensive regulatory framework that will ensure that the uses of outer space are safe for humans and the environment.
Appeal Summary
Telecommunications companies worldwide, with the support of governments, are poised to roll out the fifth-generation wireless network (5G). Virtually everything we own and buy, from refrigerators and washing machines to milk cartons, hairbrushes and infants’ diapers, will contain antennas and microchips and will be connected wirelessly to the Internet.
In addition to millions of new 5G base stations on Earth and 20,000 new satellites in space, 200 billion transmitting objects, according to estimates, will be part of the Internet of Things (“IoT”) by 2020, and one trillion objects a few years later.
What is not widely acknowledged is that this will also result in an unprecedented environmental change on a global scale. 5G will result in a massive increase in inescapable, involuntary exposure to wireless radiation. Despite widespread denial, the evidence that radio frequency (RF) radiation is harmful to life is already overwhelming. These 5G plans threaten to provoke serious, irreversible effects on humans and permanent damage to all of the Earth’s ecosystems.
The accumulated clinical evidence of sick and injured human beings, experimental evidence of damage to DNA, cells and organ systems in a wide variety of plants and animals, and epidemiological evidence that the major diseases of modern civilization – cancer, heart disease and diabetes – are in large part caused by electromagnetic pollution, forms a literature base of well over 10,000 peer-reviewed studies. Immediate measures must be taken to protect humanity and the environment. Read Full Article >
