“Keeping humans in the loop has it’s benefits.” Apart from the awful grammar, this statement is well worth unpacking. I’m a long-term environmental activist. My applied maths dissertation at Wits University in 1979 was on the evolution of ecosystems; it was subtitled “The ecosystem as unit of selection.” I showed through computer modelling how an ecosystem will gang up and drive extinct what I called “universal predators” — species that had negative effects on just about all the others. I showed how feedback loops were automatically set up; if the predator is P, and A hits P, then any other species B, C, D that help A, automatically help themselves. I proved the mathematical truth of the old saying, your enemy’s enemy is your best friend. It takes just two turns of the matrix, and you get genuine ecosystem selection.
I pointed out that there was, indeed, a “universal predator” in our global ecosystem, that was flattening every habitat in sight and threatening all life on the planet. And I made a straight prediction, that the entire global ecosystem would ultimately gang up against the human species.
This was my starting point 40 years ago, and now, as we face everything from bird and swine flu to Ebola, dengue fever, and Zika, not to mention antibiotic resistance from our indiscriminate war against microbes, I have to say, the scenario is playing exactly the way I predicted.
With that background in mind, I now sincerely invite you to review your feelings about the above article, before you read how I’ve spent the last 20 years of my life as a monomaniacal, single-issue, obsessive environmental campaigner, and then review your feelings again, after reading what I write below.
My single-issue issue is microwave masts (we call them cellphone towers here) — including those innocuous little panels they’re attaching to lampposts, right outside your child’s bedroom window.
Just so you get the cosmic scale of things: NASA is still in touch with Voyager 2, over 20 billion kilometres away. Voyager has a microwave transmitter powered at 20W. Around here, that cellphone panel will be radiating a minimum of 40W, highly tuned pulsed microwaves, with the carrier waves tuned to the exact frequencies where they will have the most impact on human bodies: 900MHz, used for medical diathermy, as it penetrates the brain so well and burns tissue so well, and the basic GSM frequency; 1800MHz, the next GSM frequency, an exact harmonic of the above, and also the frequency the Russians weaponised to radiate the US Embassy in Moscow for several decades (go read Peter Wright’s Spycatcher, if you don’t believe me. Wright’s dad was Marconi’s chief engineer, he was a radio man supreme, Spycatcher is compulsory reading for anyone interested in electronic warfare; 1800MHz was also the frequency the US military used when they radiated women protesting the Greenham Common airbase in the 1980s, as measured by electrical engineer Alasdair Philips, who testified to the UK parliament about this); and 2.4GHz, the basic wifi frequency, also coincidentally the frequency of microwave ovens, because it resonates well with water, and heats it up so well — interesting choice of frequencies, yes?
And the pulsed frequencies they use are also fascinating, the main one (which is shown to entrain brain waves for hours after an exposure of a few minutes) is just above 8Hz, which is the low alpha or semi-zombie brainwave state. Take a look around you and tell me if you spot anyone who does *not* look half-zombified as they give themselves repetitive stress injuries texting with their opposable thumbs, the final definition of the primate, Homo Mobilis Non Sapiens. It just goes on and on.
Except, of course, for the entire orthodox “conservation” or environmental movement, which completely and utterly ignores electromagnetic radiation (it is, after all, *invisible*) and treats us as complete cranks. Go and read George Monbiot’s snide message to mast campaigners, that they are an embarrassment to themselves and should “choose” a “proper” environmental issue to espouse. I have spoken to all shades of greens over the decades, and very few of them (OK, one) have ever responded. An old buddy of mine with Earthlife in the 1980s became deputy director general of environmental affairs in South Africa. We met him and watched him duck and dive and say there was absolutely no issue here for him with radiation. Forget about damage to humans, I said. What about trees? (I had given him sheafs of scientific studies on the effects of microwaves on plants, including trees). Oh, go and speak to the Ministry of Water and Forestry, he said.
At the time, the director general of DWAF (as the Dept of Water and Forestry was known in South Africa) was actually my sibling, and if I trawled the whole universe, I don’t think I could find a person more intent on poisoning the environment than this individual, so I just laughed. (My sibling is directly responsible for what has been called “South Africa’s Chernobyl”, the massive leak of acid mine drainage from disused mines into the rivers and water table. He lied outright about the scale of the pollution and his recommended plan of action is — literally — “do nothing”. This is a member of the ANC we are talking about, he knows where his bread is buttered.)
OK: so from my perspective, watching the entire planet being bathed in microwaves, which have been shown in tens of thousands of studies over decades to be terribly harmful to every form of life, from single-celled bacteria to trees to crops (like maize and tomatoes) to tadpoles to bees to ants to birds to mammals of all kinds, and *tens of thousands* of studies showing health impacts on humans, and now I read: oh, let’s save the environment by making it part of the Internet of Things, not just radiate everything, but make them radiate back, so the entire planet becomes a seething, pulsating mass of digital frequencies.
I’m going to be really radical here, and talk about cosmic pollution: not just our filthying of the planet, but our filthying of outer space as well. Of all our environmental impacts, including all of our atom bombs, by far the biggest impact we have had on the cosmos is via microwave radiation, which travels unhindered into deep space. Remember Voyager 2, with its 20W transmitter and little dish, 20 billion kilometres away. Around here, a typical cellphone tower will have three operators, each with three panels; this is a minimum of 120W being radiated, blasting straight into people’s houses, placed in kindergarten playgrounds, wifi routers in every hospital room, every baby crib with its own microwave monitor. And the ultimate “things” in this “Internet of Things” are precisely the human beings; the intention with 5G as espoused directly by the FCC’s Wheeler, is to have RFID dots on every button on your shirt, every coin and note in your pocket, your glasses, your ballpoint pen, and they are all tracked in real time across the landscape. And especially, Wheeler has stressed, rural landscapes as well. Nowhere to hide. Please don’t accuse me of being fanciful. The wireless industry has been slavering after this for years, go look for yourself, “all we need is the political will”. And stooges in the environmental movement who will look the other way, and even encourage the whole process with articles like the above.
There’s a crucial historical book, written by the Motorola engineer Robert C Kane, who tested mobile antennas for the company before he got a brain tumour and died. While he was dying, he wrote and self-published a book called “Cellular Telephone Russian Roulette”, you can find a pdf of the whole thing if you look. Industry stooges immediately say it’s “dated”. The whole point is that it gives an historical account of what Motorola knew and when they knew it. From the 1950s, the genotoxic nature of low-level microwave radiation was well known, chromosomal damage, micronuclei formation, double-strand DNA breaks, all the delights you expect of nuclear, not electromagnetic, radiation. This book will be one of the centrepieces of the inquiry we will ultimately hold on the Microwave Mafia. Kane says explicitly that this is intended as an historical document, written by a Motorola insider. I have no doubt that it is the most explosive “insider” account of all time, perhaps with the exception of Mr Barrie Trower, the UK government’s former top microwave warfare scientist, who has very bravely come out to warn the world of the hazards. Since Trower reveals and confirms the direct use of pulsed microwaves as weapons on civilian populations by Western governments — they’ve been at it for decades — I regard Trower as a more significant whistleblower than Edward Snowden, and I’m not kidding. I’ve met Trower and travelled with him to Botswana to consult with the King of the Bakgatla tribe, whose father had died of a brain tumour, and who refused to live in the same palace, under the shadow of a cellphone tower. His tribespeople subsequently completely demolished and destroyed the tower, these were the circumstances under which we were consulting. So I’ve seen Mr Barrie Trower at work, and I will vouch for him any day as one of the most honest, decent, and competent scientists I’ve ever worked with, a true gentleman, and desperately concerned for the environment. In one interview, in Germany, when he was describing how microwaves affect every single living thing, through resonance with DNA, the interviewer said, “This sounds worse than nuclear war!” and Trower replied, without a moment’s hesitation, oh, it’s *much* worse than nuclear war.
Do you think we’re joking here? Mr Barrie Trower, as a fully indoctrinated intelligence agent with top security clearances, personally went through several full nuclear alerts in the 1960s. As a radiation expert, he knew exactly what the possible impact on the environment might be.
This is why I say: stop and think, and you’ll see that without question, our single largest toxic impact on the cosmos has been through microwave radiation.
Now, to save the planet, we must totally totally totally blanket it with microwaves, and link everything up to this grand system. And, oh yes, “Keeping humans in the loop has it’s benefits.” The ultimate “Things” in the IoT are human beings, their brainwaves and biochemistry directly manipulated by pulsed microwaves, governments strenuously denying that there’s any possible effect, while in secret madly researching it and even more viciously and madly implementing it. This is not a conspiracy theory. This all fact. Anyone researching facts is called a conspiracy theorist, but I assure you, if I ever have any theories about any of this, I’ll be sure to mark them as such.
So, yeah, let’s microwave the environment to save it. I ask you, seriously: does this sound like such a good idea now?
