5G networks - safety, conspiracies and moron cell tower attacks

[mauvais]

How do these morons think that what is essentially a radio signal is able to transmit a living microscopic organism? What's their logic? Have we gone back to the Dark Ages or something?

There's - ho ho - a broad spectrum of idiocy, but many seem to think not that it actually gives you CV19, but that it softens you up for it.

There are also plenty of braindead morons who believe that there is a direct link and that 5G causes coronavirus.

If they can't calm these people down and make them see sense then "they" should just say "Fuck it. We'll call it 6G. The morons won't have any problems with that".

 

[mauvais]

That's one worse.

 

[Raheem]

And it includes 5G anyway. You can't fool these people.

There's - ho ho - a broad spectrum of idiocy, but many seem to think not that it actually gives you CV19, but that it softens you up for it.

Through some mysterious mechanism that the conspiracunts can't seem to even agree on. Oh, and they don't explain why the distribution of cases bears no relation to the positions of cell towers.

A great philosopher once wrote: "I don't want to live on this planet anymore."

I think between this lot and the anti-lockdown protestors, I'll just sigh, let them get on with it, and try my best to get from one end of my life to the other without dying...

 

[WouldBe]

Call it 4.1G then.

 

[Raheem]

Could work, but I'd be worried you'd get a new bunch demanding their 0.9 back.

One of the videos which was removed by YouTube (though not before it had gained serious traction) featured a man who claimed to be a former Vodafone “executive” – who appeared to not understand the distinction between wired and wireless connections – stating that the pandemic was being used to mask deaths caused by 5G technology. The video was later reuploaded by different channels. E&T - April 6th.

The "former Vodafone executive" turns out to be Jonathon James, evangelical pastor, former "Presidential Economic Policy Adviser for Zimbabwe First party (ZimFirst)", cryptocurrency advocate, former executive of various small international phone sim, payment card and money transfer companies, and full spectrum self-promoter.

But not actually a former Vodafone executive.

Just realised Big Clive did a nice video on the topic - his one video where he had to turn the comments off.
He's a lighting engineer.

That's really clear and interesting, ta

Over 50 masts have been burned or vandalised, while more than 120 telecom engineers have been threatened or harassed. Why? It all started with a man up a lamppost.

Nice to see we're world class at something.

It includes a brief account of anti-"5G Genocide" hard man Mark Steele.
(Not that one - this one's a "weapons expert").




No, stop laughing this man knows about fucking tools

I subsequently found another campaign with Steele’s name on, collecting money to enable his legal team “to bring the countries first test case against Gateshead Council”. The description for the campaign didn’t really say… anything. Yet it had raised almost £20,000 and had 529 supporters behind it.

 

[two sheds]

Wow

 

[gentlegreen]

He comes across in that as a straightforward hoaxer for money.
It's jaw-droppingly ridiculous to anyone with the most casual experience in electronics.
I suppose we shouldn't be surprised when several governments got ripped off for the explosives dowser...

Just found out something from a link in that Vice article about 5G above, that 5G equipment was trialled at Glastonbury last year. (see middle part of the article I've linked to there).

Most festival folk would just be glad that they had fast reception/connections, I'm a rare weirdo there who doesn't take (or even own) a smartphone.
But smartphone-dependence is more generally huge among most at Glastonbury!

Still, you can bet your life there'd have been a few Glasto-going conspiraloons who'd have started yibbling bonkersly and Icke-ishly about the 'evils of 5G!!!1!!!1!' had they known tests were going on at the fest .....

I didn’t understand a word of that - could you provide it in layman’s terms at all?

Yet strangely coronavirus didn't break out there or at that time.

They kept the outbreaks secret though

Shipped them all off to China?

That earlier Vice article about 5G conspiracy theories generally (link in Lurdan 's post #409 above) was good in that it helped to explain how pre-Coronavirus loon-paranoia was spreading ......

There's a video of some loon in his van in a crew area which he'd lined with something to repel it, with some kind of radiation reader making shrill noises

I think that story of Gateshead council having to make a statement about 5G not being installed on lampposts or killing people was on the local tv news. The bloke behind the hoax is clearly an idiot conman - that video is an embarrassment
