Without The Second Amendment, This Is What Would Happen In America
Gunsinthenews – “And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say goodbye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
The above quote is from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago. Look at the words and read them carefully America. This one quote tells the tale of a disarmed, helpless population at the mercy of a brutal communist dictator that had a vision for a better world. In the final days, after years of simply going along and not understanding the implications of what was happening in their country, the Russian peasants trembling in fear, finally understood. Their time was up, there was no better world, only death.
Solzhenitsyn says they didn’t love freedom enough and that they had no real awareness of the situation. What does he mean? Clearly, he means the Russian people had neglected their own responsibility to the society in which they lived. They lost any appreciation for what freedoms they may have had and believed the propaganda machine that fed them a continuous stream of lies about total equality and fairness. They believed their government when they were promised freedom from responsibility if they would just surrender their own free wills. In the end, the only equality there was the equality of dirt, squalor and the stench of rotting flesh.
Before the communist revolution of 1917 gun ownership in Russia was quite common and firearms were readily available in cities such as Moscow and St. Petersburg.  In 1918 the Bolsheviks, under Vladimir Lenin outlawed gun ownership and specifically targeted non-communist party members for confiscation. Members of the party were of course allowed to keep their guns.
If you notice, here in America there is a major attempt to portray conservative Christians as potential terrorists even though they commit virtually no violence. Leftist groups like Antifa however, who identify as Communist, routinely get away with violent protests against their political rivals which often result in destroyed property and injured people.
After the communists declared victory the firearms restrictions were codified into Russian law. All those who were found to be in possession of firearms were sentenced to hard labor in the concentration camps, where millions were murdered incidentally. After Lenin died and Stalin took over, the communists, because of the existing gun laws, were easily able to implement a system of terror where all who were found to be in disagreement with communist ideals or were considered a threat, were rounded up for extermination. Stalin was able to confiscate property and engineer famines simply because the people had no means to defend themselves. In the end, Stalin eliminated nearly twenty million people who had been made completely helpless through the passage of gun registration and confiscation laws by people who believed they could create a better world. What the Russians didn’t understand was the creation of a better world meant the complete surrendering of their own wills and the right to exist as they see fit.
This is what happens when the value of life is diminished and people are viewed through the lens of science as opposed to spirituality. Much of Communist, and Nazi philosophy for that matter, is based on the precepts of Darwinian evolution. Human life, being a process of evolution as opposed to being created by God, has no inherent value according to evolutionary science. Human beings have no soul or independent will of their own; therefore, eliminating those who are viewed as inferior has no moral consequence. In America today a new moral ideal is slowly being created and those that disagree with it are labeled as intolerant bigots. This new ideal is presented as a higher form of morality and those that oppose, as Hillary Clinton referred to us, are deplorables.
At the same time, there is a massive effort by those redefining the nation’s values to strip us of our rights to keep and bear arms. Why? I think the answer is obvious.
 
Festive Satanic statue added to Illinois statehouse
BBC – A satanic group has added its own statue to a series of displays in the government building of the US state of Illinois to mark the festive season.
Placed between a Christmas tree and a menorah, the four-foot sculpture depicts a snake coiled around an outstretched arm holding an apple.
It’s the first display sponsored by the Chicago chapter of the Temple of Satan.
The state government said the temple had the same right as other religious groups to have a display.
“Under the Constitution, the First Amendment, people have a right to express their feelings, their thoughts,” Dave Druker, spokesman for the Illinois secretary of state, told the State Journal-Register. “This recognises that.”
The move has been criticised on social media by Illinois Family Action, an anti-abortion pressure group.
 
This Anti-Gun Bill Would Require the Social Media History and Internet Search History of Prospective Buyers
The Organic Prepper – In New York (the state, not just the city) there’s a rather Orwellian gun bill on the table that would require would-be firearm purchasers to turn over 3 years of their social media history and one year of their internet search history if they want to buy a gun.
“A three-year review of a social media profile would give an easy profile of a person who is not suitable to hold and possess a firearm,” said Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, who has proposed the legislation with New York State Senator Kevin Parker. (source)            Applicants to purchase a gun would be required by law to turn over their social media passwords to accounts like Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram, and they’d have to allow police to see a year’s worth of their searches on a year’s worth of searches on Google, Yahoo, and Bing.  As well, anyone renewing their permit for a pistol would be subject to this invasive investigation.
Now, for those of you sitting there saying, “That’s fine, I don’t use social media and I use Duck Duck Go or StartPage” this is great – for now.
How long do you think it would be before other outlets like blogs where you comment or these different search engines are added to the list of things that are searched? Trust me, if it gets passed, this is a greasy slide straight to the bad place.
What will the police be looking for?
According to a write-up on the Democrat and Chronicle, a daily newspaper in Rochester, NY:
Police would be required to look for evidence the applicant searched for or used racist or discriminatory language, threatened the safety of another person, inquired about or alluded to an act of terrorism, and, finally, “any other issue deemed necessary by the investigating officer.” (source)
 
UN Pushes To Criminalize Opposition To Mass Migration
Technocracy.news – The UN pushes the mantra that Sustainable Development is only possible in a multi-cultural society, which guarantees the elimination of the nation-state. However, immigration is only pushed toward First World countries, like Europe and the United States.
Dutch politician and European Parliament member Marcel de Graaff has issued a dire warning about the United Nations’frightening vision to criminalize opposition to mass migration. The baby blue wanna-be tyrannical organization is even calling for policing of the media on the issue. You probably haven’t heard much about de Graaff’s remarks. That’s because the globalist big box media we have today is already in the camp of the pro-migration authoritarians.
In a press conference, de Graaff raised the alarm over an international conference in Marrakech, Morocco on Dec. 11 and 12 where the U.N. Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration is to be signed. Though the pact is said to be non-binding, it is meant to establish the groundwork for an Orwellian campaign to cement mass migration as a human right legally above any and all criticism.
“One basic element of this new agreement is the extension of the definition of hate speech,” de Graaff says. “The agreement wants to criminalize migration speech. Criticism of migration will become a criminal offense. Media outlets that give room to criticism of migration can be shut down.”
That last sentence is no exaggeration. The U.N. Human Rights Office of the High Commissioner posted onto its website the text of an ominous Nov. 20 speech given by Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights Andrew Gilmour. The title of the speech alone shows the union is not even trying to hide its agenda: “Words Matter: Role and Responsibility of the media in shaping public perceptions about migrants and refugees and promoting inclusive societies.”

Denmark to Banish Criminal Migrants to Remote Island
Infowars – Criminal migrants awaiting expulsion from Denmark will be held on an isolated island, the Danish government has decided.
The island of Lindholm in Stege Bay, some 80 kilometers south of Copenhagen, will serve as a new detention facility by 2021 – after the tiny slice of land (7 hectares) and existing buildings have been decontaminated of African swine fever, rabies, and a variety of other animal-borne diseases that have been studied there by researchers for over 90 years.
Danish Finance Minister Kristian Jensen told BT that migrants convicted of crimes and returning jihadists will be transferred to Lindholm, where officers and employees of the Prison and Probation Service will oversee operations.
“They will not be in jail,” Jensen explained. “There will be a ferry service back and forth to the island, but the ferry will not operate 24 hours a day and you must be at the center at night. Then we have more control of where they are.”
The Danish People’s Party (Dansk Folkeparti) tweeted their approval of the decision, along with a short cartoon video.
 
Doctors in Canada Propose Euthanizing Disabled Children
Life News – Canada legalized euthanasia and assisted suicide in June 2016 under the term Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID). In December 2016, the federal government announced that the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA) would research and provide recommendations in December 2018 concerning the expansion of euthanasia in three areas:

  1. Mature minors (child euthanasia),
  2. People who are incompetent but previously requested MAID, and
  3. For psychological suffering alone.

In September 2018, the Journal of Medical Ethics published a paper titled, “Medical Assistance in Dying at a paediatric hospital.” This paper concerns a proposed policy for implementing euthanasia for children that was developed by a committee at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. The paper states that it:
…is intended as a road map through the still-emerging legal and ethical landscape of paediatric MAID.
Based on the influence of the Hospital for Sick Children, the Euthanasia Prevention Coalition (EPC) is concerned that the proposed policy outlined in this paper would impact the direction that the Canadian government follows if it extends euthanasia to children.
What did the Hospital for Sick Children’s committee recommend?The paper considered several issues of which we will focus on two:

  1. Is euthanasia (MAID) the same or different than other end-of-life (EOL) medical decisions? Is killing different than a decision to withhold or withdraw medical treatment that may lead to death?
  2. Is the decision-making process the same or different than other EOL medical decisions?

Is euthanasia the same or different than other EOL medical decisions?
The federal government legalized euthanasia in Canada by defining it as an exception to homicide in the Criminal Code rather than defining it as medical treatment. This means that they intended euthanasia to be different than EOL medical decisions. The government justified restrictions on euthanasia, such as limiting it to competent adults over the age of 18, since euthanasia was seen as an exception in the law.
The Québec government, unlike the federal government, legalized euthanasia by regulating it as a medical act. These divergent euthanasia laws in Canada create confusion.
The Hospital for Sick Children’s committee recognized that euthanasia is seen as different than EOL medical decisions but in its deliberations they rejected this position.
The committee redefined the nature of euthanasia based on the request to die rather than the act of causing death. The committee suggested that when euthanasia is defined by the reason it is requested, it becomes the same as EOL medical decisions.

BUSTED! Major Clinton pal arrested, indicted for fraud
The Horn News – major Democratic insider and frequent donor to the Clintons, Abdul Huda Farouki, was indicted and charged for allegedly defrauding the United States military of $9 billion worth of government contracts while Hillary Clinton was Secretary of State.
Now, under President Donald Trump, they’re finally going to face justice.
According to authorities, Farouki and his associates lied to the U.S. military to get an $8 billion, 10-year contract to supply food to American soldiers stationed in Afghanistan in 2012. That year, they also signed a nearly $1 billion contract to supply trucking and logistical resources to the area. The deals were signed in 2012, while Hillary Clinton was serving as Secretary of State.
o cut costs on the deals, Farouki’s Dubai-based Anham corporation allegedly had supplies illegally shipped through Iran despite U.S. sanctions, prosecutors claim. Anham is one of America’s largest wartime contractors.
Critics point out that Farouki is a major contributor to the Clintons and other Democrats, and was also a member of the Clinton Global Initiative at the time he allegedly violated U.S. sanctions. According to The Epoch Times, Farouki and his wife have contributed over $320,000 to the Clintons and other leading Democratic lawmakers since the 1990s.
Farouki’s brother Mazen and Salah Maarouf, both of which worked closely with the Anham corporation, were also indicted and charged.
The indictment states that, during Hillary’s tenure as Secretary of State, Farouki was awarded the $8 billion supply contract that required the bidder to have a large number of warehouses pre-built in Afghanistan that could store food for American troops. Anham allegedly claimed his company was in the process of completing these facilities when awarded the contract.
ccording to the indictment, that was a lie. Construction had barely started months after the bid was submitted, authorities said. However, Farouki arranged equipment in Afghanistan to “create the false appearance of an active construction site.”
That’s just the beginning of the alleged crimes. Once construction advanced, Farouki’s company shipped large amounts of their needed supplies through Iran as a cost-cutting measure. This was allegedly in direct violation of U.S. sanctions.
Once Hillary left office in 2013, The Wall Street Journal reported on these alleged sanction violations. Authorities say Farouki then lied to the Department of Defense and his company’s investors by claiming no senior executive at his company knew about the Iranian plan. However, the indictment says Farouki and his fellow defendants “routinely discussed in internal communications the transshipment of warehouse components through Iran, for the purpose of saving time and decreasing the need to expend costs for the project prior to the awarding of the … contract.”
Under Hillary, Anham was also awarded the $984 million National Afghan Trucking contract, where Farouki’s company would supply the U.S. military with trucking services in Afghanistan.
 
CA: Democrats Passed Ballot Harvesting Law Legalizing Voter Fraud…
G. Edwards Griffin – Democrats in California quietly passed a law allowing ballot harvesting in 2016, which allows party workers to go door-to-door and offering to deliver mail-in ballots on behalf of the voter.  California lost 7 out of 14 Republican House seats in this election cycle. Ballot harvesting is illegal in most states. In Texas, New York and Pennsylvania they arrest people for ballot harvesting. Conservative Orange County turned all blue after and unprecedented 250,000 Election Day vote-by-mail dropoff ballots were produced.  Candidates who won on Election Day later lost their races to Democrats. The Democrats don’t even hide their blatant voter fraud anymore – they just pass laws to make election fixing legal and the Republican party just sits back and allows it.
 
Wisconsin Republicans approve bill to weaken Democrats’ power
Al Jazeera – The Republican-controlled Wisconsin Legislature passed a sweeping measure early on Wednesday that takes power away from the incoming Democratic governor and attorney general and reduces how long early voting can take place.
Both the state Senate and Assembly passed the bill and current Republican Governor Scott Walker has indicated he will sign it. His successor, Democrat Tony Evers, has said he may mount a legal challenge.
The legislation limits the governor’s ability to put in place administrative rules that enact laws and gives the Legislature the power to control appointees to the board that runs the state economic development agency until September 1.
The bill would also require legislative approval to withdraw from lawsuits, taking that away from the attorney general.
 
Minneapolis Installs Sharia Hotline to Report Americans Who Criticize Islam
The Liberty Eagle – The city of Minneapolis has set up a hotline for residents to report citizens who criticize Islam, in order to prosecute them for “hate crimes”, according to statements on the city’s website.
The city, run by Democrat Mayor Besty Hodges, a non-Muslim who regularly wears a hijab in public, will operate the “service” through its 3-1-1 helpline, and claims it is targeting any “harassing behaviors motivated by prejudice”, according to a press release.
According to the local newspaper, the Star-Tribune, “the announcement comes amid signs of a recent surge of such incidents affecting Muslims and Jews across the country, many of which go unreported.”
The city’s Department of Civil Rights clearly states on its website that it only enforces hate crimes against certain “protected classes.” Muslim imams, as members of the “protected class,” can preach the destruction of America from a Minneapolis mosque, and they will not be prosecuted.
A city official also admitted the creation of the sharia hotline was the election of President Trump and that the targets are his supporters.

The Most Toxic Retailers on the Planet
Mercola -In recent years, researchers and scientists have raised warnings about mounting toxic exposures, leading to efforts to rein in the use of chemicals known to be hazardous to human health.
The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) requires that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency compile and keep a current list of chemical substances manufactured or processed in the U.S. That list1 currently includes about 85,000 chemicals.
Among them are 10,000 chemicals allowed to be added to food and food-contact materials in the U.S., either directly or indirectly, yet few have been properly tested for safety.
An evaluation of nearly 4,000 additives intentionally added to food revealed 80 percent lacked enough information to determine how much could be safely eaten and only 6.7 percent had reproductive toxicology data.2 And that’s just food chemicals.
About half of the 40 retailers evaluated by the Safer Chemicals, Healthy Families’ Mind the Store campaign have made “slow but meaningful progress at improving the chemical safety of the products, food and packaging they sell”.
Retailers that received a failing grade include Trader Joe’s, McDonald’s, Subway, Publix, Panera Bread, Macy’s, Ulta, Nordstrom, Office Depot, Dollar General, Sally Beauty, TJX Companies and Ace Hardware.
Apple, Target, Walmart and IKEA received A-grades “for their work to protect customers from toxic products and packaging”.
Walgreens, Rite Aid and Amazon were ranked “most improved” during 2018.
 
Somebody Pressed The Panic Button – Bank Stocks And Tech Stocks Crash As The Yield Curve Inverts
Activist Post – Stocks aren’t supposed to crash in December.  Most of the time we see a nice “Santa Claus rally” to close out the year, and so what happened on Tuesday is definitely extremely unusual.  The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 799 points, which was the fourth largest single-day point decline in stock market history. In fact, there was not a single day during the entire financial crisis of 2008 when the Dow dropped by as many points as it did on Tuesday.  Many believed that this “stock market correction” would be limited to October, but then it stretched into November, and now it has extended into the “safe month” of December. What in the world is going on out there?
It would be difficult to overstate the carnage that we just witnessed.  The Russell 2000 had its worst day in seven years, financial stocks plunged 4.4 percent, and as you will see below FAANG stocks lost enough money to literally buy McDonald’s.
There are many factors that are influencing the markets right now, but the biggest thing that spooked investors on Tuesday was an inversion of the yield curve
Just when it looked like the battered bull was healing, the Dow Jones Industrial Average suffered a drop of nearly 800 points Tuesday when the bond market sent an ominous signal: The yield on the two-year U.S. government bond rose above the interest rate paid out by five-year notes.
Why the pessimism over that obscure-sounding shift? Historically, when short-term rates rise above longer rates – which is dubbed an “inversion of the yield curve” – it signals an economic slowdown is coming.

Cheap, Electric Bandages Speed Up Healing Process From Two Weeks to Three Days
Good News Network – Engineers have developed a new, low-cost bandage that speeds up healing times from nearly two weeks to just three days.
The method, which was developed by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, leverages energy generated from a patient’s own body motions to apply gentle electrical pulses at the site of an injury.
“We were surprised to see such a fast recovery rate,” says Xudong Wang, a professor of materials science and engineering at UW-Madison. “We suspected that the devices would produce some effect, but the magnitude was much more than we expected.”
 
Let’s Get Our Skies Ready for Flying Cars
Reason.com – Technologists are fond of overprojecting roll-out dates. But in the case of flying cars, or “vertical take-off and landing” (VTOL) aircraft as they’re known in the biz, it is no exaggeration to say they are right around the corner.
In some cases, it’s actually an understatement, as Brent Skorup pointed out in the Wall Street Journal. Helicopters, a kind of proto-flying car, already whisk passengers safely above rush hour traffic in cities like São Paulo and Mexico City. Voom is the “Uber for helicopters,” and its roll out is a good illustration of the buzzing airspace to come. The app-based business matches time-strapped commuters with helicopter pilots for hire. They meet at the closest helipad, and then whisk away to their destination in a fraction of the time it would take in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Mass helicopter transit not cutting-edge enough for you? Well, real-deal flying cars are operational, too.
Chinese aviation company Ehang has been testing air taxi flights with passengers since February. At least 40 brave souls have lived to tell the tale of their trip in a flying car, and the company has big plans for improvements. They want to eventually operate an air taxi service that is not seen as an extreme thrill ride, but a safe and useful transit option for today’s commuters.
Entrepreneurs are working to bring flying cars to the States. Uber is eyeing our skies, betting big on the future of air taxis. Its “Uber Elevate” venture hopes to roll out flights over Dallas and Los Angeles in two years. Boeing wants to top that, aiming to test pilot air taxis by 2019.
NASA thinks the air taxi industry could be big business. A slide deck of a NASA-commissioned study suggests that the flying car market could rake in around $500 billion in the best-case future scenario. In this projection, Americans would take 11 million air taxi trips each day. If flying cars were set free today, our current infrastructure of 4,000 crafts could support some 80,000 daily passengers to the tune of $2.5 billion in annual market value.

Father placed on life support after receiving flu shot… vaccines continue
NaturalNews  – Las Vegas father Shane Morgan is fighting for his life after getting a flu shot earlier this month, and his story is a solemn reminder that vaccines aren’t as harmless as many make them out to be.
Morgan got a flu shot on November 2, and 36 hours later, he developed flu-like symptoms. By November 14, he could no longer feel his legs, so he asked his wife to bring him to the emergency room. He was admitted in critical condition and is now fighting for his life in the Intensive Care Unit.
Shane, age 46, is now unable to speak or move. He is being fed through a tube and breathing with the help of a ventilator, and it’s all because he developed Guillain-Barre Syndrome (GBS) in response to the flu vaccine. The rare disorder has been linked to the shot, and it causes people’s immune system to attack their own nerve cells, which can lead to muscle weakness and paralysis. While most people will fully recover from it, not everyone is so lucky. Some will die from the disease, while others will sustain long-term nerve damage. The symptoms last for several weeks.
Morgan and his wife had been looking forward to their young son’s first Christmas. Now, his concerned wife is trying to educate the public about GBS in hopes of sparing others from the tragedy. The couple doesn’t normally get the flu shot, but they reportedly agreed to get the jab after Shane’s older daughter requested they get vaccinated before visiting her infant.
One doctor told NBC television affiliate WVVA that while a flu shot doesn’t actually inject people with the GBS, the body’s natural response to the flu shot or other pathogens can cause it. The CDC says the cause of the disease is unknown, but roughly two thirds of those who develop it start to note symptoms within several days or weeks of a respiratory or digestive illness. It can be spurred by vaccination, bacteria, or another infection. Between 3,000 and 6,000 Americans develop the illness every year.
 
NY State Senator Dies of Sepsis After Receiving Flu Vaccine
by The Vaccine Reaction Staff
Eight-year-old Amely Baez of LeFrank City, New York died on February 5, 2018 of “flu-related” symptoms, according to local health authorities. Published reports did not indicate whether the child had received the influenza vaccine.1
New York State Senator José Peralta (D-East Elmhurst) said Amely’s death was tragic and that it “reminds us of how dangerous the flu outbreak is” and he urged New Yorkers to “protect themselves, and their children, and get vaccinated.” He added,
“We need to ensure we do everything possible to combat the spread of this deadly virus as the number of hospitalizations is increasing. The influenza vaccine can be the difference between life and death.”2
Partly in response to Amely’s death, Sen. Peralta partnered with NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst to sponsor free influenza vaccinations in LeFrank City on November 17, 2018. Some 90 area residents were vaccinated.
“The influenza vaccine can be the difference between life and death. I want to thank NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst and LeFrank City management for making Saturday’s flu clinic possible and providing potentially lifesaving vaccines to the community,” said Peralta.3 4 5
On November 20, Peralta, 47, developed a fever. The following day, he became “disoriented and had trouble breathing.” He was taken to Elmhurst Hospital in Queens, NY where he died that evening.
“We really don’t know what happened,” said Peralta’s wife, Evelyn Peralta. “He just took a turn for the worst.”6
Peralta had reportedly been ill for at least two weeks. According to the Associated Press, Mrs. Peralta had told reporters that her husband had felt pressure behind his ears and headaches for a week or more and had gone to see a doctor.6
An article in The New York Times quoted Sen. Peralta’s director of communications, Chris Sosa, as saying,
“It was like pulling teeth to get him (Peralta) to talk about not feeling well. He just thought he was having symptoms related to getting the flu shot.”7
Peralta’s death was attributed to sepsis—an overstimulation of the immune system triggered by an infection and leading to “septic shock.”8 9 10
“His body was poisoning itself,” said Mrs. Peralta.10
Health authorities do not know what caused Peralta to develop sepsis. According to Mrs. Peralta,
“The doctor said it’s rare, [given] his age and that it happened so quick… he was healthy. He was a healthy guy.”10
Currently, there is no evidence that Sen. Peralta’s sudden death was caused by the influenza vaccination he had recently received.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), common side effects of the influenza vaccine include soreness, redness, and/or swelling from the shot, headache, fever, nausea and muscle aches.
The influenza vaccine can occasionally cause fainting and the vaccine has been associated with Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), which is inflammation of the peripheral nervous system.
Additionally, the influenza vaccine can cause severe allergic reactions that may be fatal, including difficulty breathing, hoarseness or wheezing, swelling around the eyes or lips, hives, paleness, weakness and a fast heart beat or dizziness.15
There are ingredients in influenza vaccines that can cause some people to have reactions.16

Telecom Giants and Federal Government Forcing Local Governments to Radiate Your Home with 5G Microwaves
by ANH USA – State and local government shut out. Health risks ignored. Action Alert!
Telecom companies are preparing to unleash the next wave of wireless technology in neighborhoods across the nation, deployed block by block.
The telecoms industry, with an assist by the federal government, is barring the ability of local governments to manage how the new technologies get installed. We must speak out to prevent telecom giants and their government cronies from taking away our rights and threatening our health.
Telecom companies are installing the infrastructure needed for “5G” networks, which are up to 1,000 times faster than the current 4G networks.
Setting up 5G networks requires “small cells” to be placed on streetlights and utility poles throughout neighborhoods and cities. These “small cells” include antennas, power supplies, electric meters, switches, bundles of cables, and boxes—all strapped to the poles.
Homeowners worry that the small cells are unattractive and will affect property values.
Even more disturbing are the health concerns.
Small cells emit microwave radiation and essentially function as cell towers. Placing these units every 500 feet means that communities will be bathed in radiation.
We’ve written before about the health implications of over-exposure to microwaves. Microwave radiation can negatively affect mitochondrial function, cause cell damage and DNA breaks, accelerates aging, and puts us at a higher risk for chronic disease.
A recent study from the National Toxicology Program showed rats exposed to cell phone radiation at the federally allowable level had an increased risk for brain and heart tumors.
Animal studies have demonstrated the health dangers of the radio frequencies used by 5G, including: arrhythmias in frogs, immune system effects in healthy mice, lens opacity (linked with cataracts) in rats, and more.
Traditional cell towers are bad enough—which, by the way, the federal government has prevented the public from opposing based on environmental or health concerns.
Now telecom companies want to put a small cell tower right in your front yard, and your neighbor’s yard, and all over the town or city. It will be impossible to escape exposure to the radiation emitted by small cells.
Any health concerns there are now about exposure to microwave radiation will only intensify with 5G.
It’s no surprise, then, that many communities are fighting back, but the telecom giants and the feds continue to threaten local autonomy.
Telecom companies are working with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to steamroll local governments into kowtowing to whatever industry says it needs.
The FCC recently approved rules that limit the fees local governments can charge telecom companies for use of public utilities and property.
Other rules already on the books have “streamlined” small cell deployment by reducing the time cities and counties have to review applications.
The agency is studying how they could limit cities’ requirements on the look and design of small cells.
Ajit Pai, the FCC commissioner and a former attorney for Verizon, also created a committee (mostly of wireless industry representatives) to develop model codes that cities can adopt to speed the approval of small cells and reduce costs to industry.
It will be an even harder uphill battle if local governments want to reject 5G tech altogether. Municipalities in many states are preempted by state laws that limit local regulation of wireless facilities.
More often, though, people simply are not aware of the dangers of widespread exposure to microwave radiation, and see the advent of 5G networks as a good thing.
Congress is also getting in on the action—on the side of telecom firms. A number of bills in the House and Senate would make it easier and less costly for small cells to be installed on federal land, exempting the technology from environmental reviews.
The sponsors of these bills are among the top lawmakers who have received the most money from the likes of AT&T and Verizon.
This is unacceptable. Special interests are using the power of the federal government to ignore local laws and endanger our health. We must not let them get away with it.
Action Alert! Write to Congress and the FCC, telling them to stop throttling the ability of local governments to control whether and how 5G networks fit into their communities and that the federal government should study the health effects of 5G networks. Please send your message immediately.
