I took interest in this topic in the spring of 2020 when I was listening to a live radio show and the host was playing audio of a professor giving a lecture about the historical connections between a rise in the electrification of the atmosphere and the corresponding spikes in various conditions and illnesses (this particular lecture can no longer be found on YouTube). The lecture was based on a book called The Invisible Rainbow by Arthur Firstenberg, which documents this correlation. Shortly after the professor began discussing a connection between 5G and the coronavirus I received this Tweet. It freaked me out a little bit as the headline read “No, 5G isn’t causing coronavirus.” I immediately felt like AI had to be monitoring what was being said on the program, who was listening, and attempted to counteract the information by disseminating a story positing the opposite view – in real time! About a minute or two later, the host’s wife informed him that she had just received the same Tweet, as well as some of the people working in the office. The whole thing was bizarre to say the least. In any event, I did some basic image searches for maps of coronavirus hotspots and 5G coverage and – even though it sounds crazy – I saw a correlation.
Looking at these maps prompted me to listen to a four-part interview with the author of The Invisible Rainbow and I found it pretty interesting. Here is a link to part 1 if you would like to give it a listen, but the basic summary of the history he presents is this:
- Millions of miles of telegraph cables laid around the planet beginning in the 1840s and continuing through the 1870s led to cases of “neurasthenia,” or what we now call anxiety disorder. They were reported on a wide scale in the 1860s through the 1890s, especially in places where the wires were being laid.
- The intense increase in the use of alternating current during the year of 1889 led to the first great flu epidemic in our country that same year. It went worldwide and lasted four years, killing a few million people.
- Upon entering WW1, the US (and the rest of the world) began to make much greater use of radio waves, and after the war radio technology began to be developed commercially. This sudden increase in the amount of electromagnetic energy led to the Spanish flu outbreak in 1918. The flu was first identified in soldiers on military bases in the spring of 1918 who were being trained to use radio technology. Firstenberg says the biggest and most powerful alternator in the US (50K watts) was installed in NJ in September of 1918, which was right before the Spanish flu became so deadly.
- In 1957-58, the US began to erect powerful radar stations for civil defense all throughout the country. Other countries did this as well and before long the world experienced the Asian flu pandemic.
- In 1968 the first military satellites were put into orbit, basically doubling the worldwide total, and this led to the Hong Kong flu pandemic.
We are now living in the wireless revolution, which started in 1996 and continues today with the implementation of 5G technology. Perhaps not coincidentally, the first place in the world to be blanketed in 5G coverage was Wuhan, China. Here is a short video about what 5G is exactly as well as the perceived dangers. I have seen plenty of studies and news articles like this one linking cell phone use and cell tower proximity to cancer, so these 5G theories are nothing too far out of the norm in my opinion. The irony of it all is that I had heard about this supposed “connection” before and basically blew it off as not being credible. But after my device told me to not believe what I was listening to I started looking into it a little more. What was being said on the radio show wasn’t even that 5G “causes coronavirus” (like bullshit articles like this claim), it was saying for some it isn’t healthy for the body, and that it’s possible the 5G rollout is exacerbating the situation. Now, because we are seeing articles and videos being banned from YouTube and other social media platforms, and these ideas being dismissed in the MSM with terms like “conspiracy theory,” I have started to give the theory more consideration. In the past, tobacco companies would produce studies claiming smoking was safe when the health risks associated with smoking were already known and widely publicized. This is also true of other hazardous things we consume or are exposed to like food additives, pharmaceutical drugs and cellular radiation. Moreover, 5G technology will be an integral part of establishing the type of dystopian future we’re rapidly headed towards, so the motive exists for the rapid implementation of this technology despite the possible health risks.
Update (8/26/20): I have finished reading The Invisible Rainbow by Arthur Firstenberg and it was one of the most interesting books I have ever read. Firstenberg makes a strong case for his position while drawing information from 170 pages of sources (the book itself was 390 pages). He argues most of what is known today about viruses is largely theoretical, while at the same time establishing a strong correlation between the increasing amounts of electromagnetic radiation we are all continuously bathed in and the outbreak of pandemics. Aside from what I have already listed above, Firstenberg gets into three other ongoing epidemics we don’t normally think about in those terms: the rise in diabetes, heart disease and cancer. The connections he makes, and the data he presents to back up his claims, are not only eye-opening, but extremely alarming. Some of the graphs included in his book jump right off the page. For example, he looked at the rise of heart disease and diabetes as it relates to rural electrification. The states with the least amount of electrification had the least amount of cases of these diseases, while the opposite was also true. The positive correlation is as clear as day.
Throughout the book, Firstenberg asks questions of the reader that require a line of thinking considered to be way outside the box, but needed for an answer to ever be found. One such question is how, when looking back through historical records containing information about influenza, could different places around the world – on different continents – experience large influenza outbreaks simultaneously when modes of transportation were so much slower than they are today? The generally accepted view on the origin of COVID is that it spread around the world via air travel after China had experienced the first set of cases. This makes sense generally speaking… sick people in China get on an airplane and within one day they are on the other side of the planet transmitting disease to other people in other places. But how could this happen before air travel, when trips across the ocean could take a month’s time? How could entire ships of sailors come down with the flu having been at sea for months and only being in contact with each other? These types of questions not only provide some serious food for thought, but force the reader to think about what they “know” in a much different way.
Here are a few other anecdotes from the book worth mentioning:
1) “On February 24, 2011, Italy’s Supreme Court upheld the criminal conviction of Cardinal Roberto Tucci, former president of Vatican Radio’s management committee, for creating a public nuisance by polluting the environment with radio waves. The Vatican’s broadcasts to the world… emanate from fifty-eight powerful radio towers occupying over 1000 acres of land, surrounded by suburban communities. And for decades, residents in those communities had been screaming that the transmissions were destroying their health as well as causing an epidemic of childhood leukemia. At the request of the Public Prosecutor’s office in Rome, which was considering bringing charges against the Vatican for negligent homicide, Judge Zaira Secchi ordered an official investigation by the National Cancer Institute of Milan. The results, released November 13, 2010, were shocking. Between 1997 and 2003, children aged one to fourteen who lived between six and twelve kilometers (3.7-7.5 miles) from Vatican Radio’s antenna farm developed leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma at eight times the rate of children who lived further away. And adults who lived between six and twelve kilometers from the antennas died of leukemia at almost seven times the rate of adults who lived further away…(30 pages later he closes out the chapter with the following) And on February 24, 2011, the Supreme Court of Italy upheld the 2005 conviction of Cardinal Tucci for polluting Rome with radio waves. A ten-day suspended jail sentence was his only punishment. No one has ever been compensated for their injuries. The Prosecutor’s Office has not filed charges of negligent homicide. Vatican Radio’s antennas have not been shut down.”
2) “The problem, as Australian neurosurgeon Charlie Teo tells those who will listen, is that all the data on cell phone usage comes from databanks controlled by cell phone providers, and ‘no telcos have allowed scientists access to their records for these large studies.’
“I found out firsthand how closely not only the telecom providers, but the scientists they fund, guard their data, when I requested access to some of it in 2006. Yet another industry-funded study was published, this time in Denmark, purporting to show not only that cell phones did not cause brain cancer, but that cell phone users even had a lower rate of brain cancer than everyone else. In other words, those scientists would have the world believe that people might actually protect themselves from brain tumors by holding a cell phone to their head for hours per day. The study, published in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, was titled ‘Cellular Telephone Use and Cancer Risks: Update of a Nationwide Danish Cohort.’ It claimed to come to its conclusions after an examination of the medical records of over 420,000 Danish cell phone users and non-users over a period of two decades. It was clear to me that something was wrong with the statistics.
“Although the study found a lower rate of brain cancer – in men only – among cell phone users than non-users, it found a higher rate of exactly those cancers that Swedish scientists Hallberg and Johansson had reported to be caused by radio waves: bladder cancer, breast cancer, lung cancer, and prostate cancer. The Danish study did not report rates of colon cancer or melanoma, the other two types of cancer that the Swedish researchers had mentioned. However, the Danish study did additionally find that testicular cancer in men was higher and that cervical and kidney cancers in women were significantly higher among the cell phone users. I sensed manipulation of the data, because the only type of cancer for which a ‘protective’ effect was reported was the type of cancer these scientists and their funders were trying to convince the public that cell phones did not cause: brain cancer.
“It occurred to me that all of the study’s subjects had actually been using cell phones for a long time by the year 2004, when the study ended. The only difference between ‘users’ and ‘non-users’ was the date of first subscription: the ‘users’ first bought a cell phone between 1982 and 1995, while the ‘non-users’ didn’t buy one until after 1995. And all the ‘users’ were lumped together. The study did not distinguish between people who had used cell phones for 9 years and people who had used them for 22 years. But according to the study, those who subscribed prior to 1994 tended to be wealthier, and drank and smoked much less, than those who first subscribed later. I suspected that controlling for length of use might change the results of the study. So I did the natural, normal, accepted thing that scientists do when they wish to validate a study that is published in a peer-reviewed journal: I requested to look at their data. On December 18, 2006, I sent an email to the lead author, Joachim Schuz, telling him that I had colleagues in Denmark who would like to look at their data. And on January 19, 2007, we were cordially refused permission. The letter of refusal was signed by three of the study’s six authors: Schuz, Christoffer Johansen, and Jorgen H. Olsen.
Meanwhile, Teo is sounding the alarm. ‘I see 10 to 20 new patients each week,’ he says, ‘and at least one third of those patients’ tumors are in the area of the brain around the ear. As a neurosurgeon I cannot ignore this fact.’”
3) “In the early years of the 20th century, Russell Chittendon, at Yale University, who is often called the father of American biochemistry, experimented on himself and on volunteers at Yale. Over the course of two months he gradually eliminated breakfast, settling into a pattern that consisted of a substantial midday meal and a lighter supper at night. Although he was eating less than 40 grams of protein daily, ⅓ the amount recommended by nutritionists, and only 2000 calories, he not only suffered no ill effects, but the rheumatism in his knee disappeared, as did his migraine headaches and attack of indigestion. Rowing a boat left him with much less fatigue and muscle soreness than before. His weight dropped to 125 pounds and remained there. After 1 year on this diet, with funding from the Carnegie Institution and the National Academy of Sciences, he formally experimented on volunteers. They were: 5 professors and instructors at Yale; 13 volunteers from the hospital corps of the Army; and 8 students, ‘all thoroughly trained athletes, some with exceptional records in athletic events.’ He restricted them to about 2000 calories and no more than 50 grams of protein a day. Without exception, his subjects’ health was as good as before or better at the end of half a year, with gains in strength, endurance, and well being.
“While Chittenden proved nothing about life span, the ancient recommendations have since been thoroughly subjected to the scientific method and, in all species of animal from one-celled organisms on up to primates, proven accurate. Provided an animal receives the minimal nutrients necessary to maintain health, a severe reduction in calories will prolong life. And there is no other method known that will reliably do so.
“A severe restriction in calories will increase the lifespan of rodents by 68%. Routinely producing 4 and 5 year old mice and rats. Calorie restricted rats are not senile. Quite the opposite: they look younger and are more vigorous than other animals their age. If they are female they reach sexual maturity very late and produce litters at impossibly old ages.”
4) “For the next two years, without let up, Janet Ostrowski, a nurse who worked in a family practice office in Manhattan, and then on Long Island, saw a constant stream of patients with ‘viral syndrome,’ typically with excruciating headache, ear pain, swollen gland deep in the neck, nasal congestion they could not get rid of, facial pain, sore throat, fatigue, and sometimes profound dehydration. ‘No flu lasts an entire year,’ Ost told us. She also noticed that the majority of her patients were suddenly not responding to medication. ‘I have done triage in various emergency rooms throughout the Tri-State area over the course of 25 years of nursing,’ she said. ‘Whatever used to be stabilized on routine medication, be it hypertension, diabetes, whatever, now seems to become unstabilized easily and not responding to current meds,’ She also saw a tremendous increase in the number of people complaining of stress and anxiety, many of whom,, in their 30s and 40s, were found, on routine EKG, to have cardiac changes.
Officially, this N. American ‘influenza’ epidemic began in October 1996 and lasted through May 1997.”
5) “SpaceX has announced that as soon as 420 satellites are in place, which could be as early as February 2020, it will turn them on and begin providing service to some areas of the Earth. OneWeb has submitted applications for 5260 satellites, plans to begin launching 30 at a time in January 2020, and has projected the beginning of service to the Arctic and /antarctic in late 2020 and full global service from 650 satellites in 2021. TelStat, based in Canada, expects to begin launching a fleet of up to 512 satellites in 2021 and provide global service in 2022. Amazon projects that its 3236 satellites will serve the entire world, except the Arctic and Antarctic. Facebook, thus far, has an experimental satellite license from the FCC, under which it is not required to disclose its plans to the public. A new company called Link also has an experimental license; it plans to deploy ‘several thousand’ satellites by 2023 and boasts that ‘we’re going to turn all mobile phones into satellite phones.’”
I do not claim to have an answer about whether there is a connection between the COVID pandemic and the increasing implementation of 5G technology, but I have learned too much at this point to dismiss the theory out of hand.
Unfortunately, we may never receive an honest answer to this question, at least as long as big business, science and government regulatory agencies maintain a mutually beneficial relationship.
