WORLDWIDE PROTESTS AGAINST 5G ON JANUARY 25, 2020
Protests
will take place in many countries on Saturday, January 25, 2020. This
is the first Global Day of Protest against 5G. It is only the first of
more to come until our voices are heard and the irradiation of the Earth
istopped. In the days leading up to January 25, the 5G Space Appeal,
with over 3,300 pages of signatures, will be delivered in person to many
governments.
This threat to life on Earth is more immediate than
climate change. If we want our children to have enough of a future even
to fight climate change, our society must stop pretending that radio
waves are harmless and that wireless technology is safe. It is not. It
must end. If you want to be able to live a full and vibrant life again,
without the aid of sleeping pills, antianxiety medications, or
antidepressants; to eat whatever you want without the risk of diabetes
or heart disease; to see the great nations of birds and bees recover
their populations, you must throw away your cell phones.
You
cannot hold a cell phone near your body, even for a few minutes, without
damaging your nervous system and your cells. You cannot expect to use a
cell phone in an emergency without the entire wireless infrastructure
of the world being there, including all the towers and satellites. The
demand for wireless communication and the revenue from wireless devices
is tremendous; it is what is fueling, and paying for, 5G. If we want to
stop 5G, but we won’t give up our cell phones, it is not going to
happen, and we will shortly not have a planet to live on.
Public protests are planned for January 25, 2020 in Durban,
South Africa; Canberra and Sydney, Australia; Tokyo, Japan; Torino,
Bologna, Ravenna and other locations in Italy; London, Edinburgh, Isle
of Man and other locations in the United Kingdom; Washington, DC, New
York City, Hawaii and other locations in the United States; Montreal,
Toronto, Vancouver and other locations in Canada; and in Belgium,
Bermuda, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Hungary,
Ireland, Kenya, Malta, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania,
Spain, Sweden and other countries. The list is growing daily.
Information about events in your country, including Facebook pages and
email contacts, is available on the Stop 5G International website, here: https://stop5ginternational.org/5g-protest-day. You can also contact team@stop5ginternational.org for updates.
60 More Satellites Were Launched Today
This
evening at 9:19 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, SpaceX launched another 60
satellites on a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral, Florida. This
brings the number of SpaceX’s “Starlink” satellites orbiting the Earth
up to 180. SpaceX plans to continue launching 60 satellites at a time,
twice a month, for the foreseeable future. It intends to begin supplying
5G from space as soon as at least 420 satellites are in orbit and the
Federal Communications Commission has approved its application to sell
one million user devices to the American public. The FCC, to date, has
not approved that application.
The Cellular Phone Task Force has posted a summary describing
the satellite plans by SpaceX and seven other companies; how the
satellites will be integrated into the global wireless network; and the
expected effects on health and environment.
125 Cities in Italy Oppose 5G
Alleanza Italiana Stop 5G has published on its website a list of 125 municipalities in Italy that have passed resolutions or ordinances opposing 5G.
Italian
astrophysicist Stefano Gallozzi is organizing a protest by Italy's
scientific community against SpaceX's Starlink satellites because they
will interfere with astronomers' observations of the stars, and will
especially interfere with radio astronomy telescopes. Gallozzi is also
the co-administrator of Stop 5G Italia, which has more than 10,000
members and is helping to organize events in Italian cities for January
25.
Update on the Federal Lawsuit in New Mexico
From 2016 to 2018, New Mexicans for Utility Safety worked with other organizations to defeat smart meters in much of our state. As a result, there are no smart meters in New Mexico’s major cities and surroundings.
In
December 2018, the Santa Fe Alliance for Public Health and Safety filed
a lawsuit against the City of Santa Fe, the State of New Mexico, and
the United States of America in federal district court. We are asking
the court to declare that city, state and federal laws that effectively
mandate 5G and deprive the public of the right to protect themselves
from injury to their health, property and environment, are
unconstitutional.
Briefing on our motion for preliminary injunction,
in which we have asked the court to order that no antennas be built on
the sidewalks in Santa Fe before trial, was completed on October 1,
2019. We are waiting to see what the court will do. So are the
telecommunications companies. So far, in Santa Fe, there are no antennas
on the sidewalks.
Press Release about the Global Day of Protest
A press release about the Global Day of Protest was posted today on the website of Stop 5G International. Please
download it, translate it, and send it to local and national newspapers
and other media in your country before January 25.

Green Street Radio interviewed
me on Friday for WBAI in New York City. The 45-minute interview about
5G, satellites, and wireless technology will be broadcast on WBAI, 99.5

The Invisible Rainbow is
the first book that tells the history of electricity from an
environmental point of view, including chapters on heart disease,
diabetes and cancer, as well as a chapter on bees, birds and forests.
The book begins in the year 1746 and gives the background that is
necessary in order to understand what is happening today. It is an
engrossing story, written in the spirit of Silent Spring.
