“You gotta choose, and we chose the war. But we can’t afford the war either. We have to borrow money so we can have a war. And we borrowed from the Chinese and they gave it to us because they’re nice people.

That’s Kind of ironic right?

Americans, we’re a bunch of Capitalists, borrowing money from a bunch of Communists so we can bring Democracy to a bunch of Muslims who don’t even fucking want it.”

~Jimmy Dore

Legalization benefits consumers, but it has not been good for farmers. Under legalization, growers and dispensary owners are forced to pay exorbitant fees and taxes. The only way for them to keep their heads above water is to take their operations to a huge scale and compete with big corporations. Even under legalization, small-time farmers continue to endure familiar scenes of militarized commandos leaping from combat vehicles to cuff people and chop plants. Police unions, private prisons, alcohol & tobacco companies and the pharmaceutical industry are all threatened by the prospect of decriminalization. The prison business, America’s fastest growing industry, depends on this country maintaining the drug war as well as the false ideologies that justify it, to maximize the number of incarcerated citizens and maximize shareholder profits. The biggest prison population in the world today are a non-violent majority who never actually committed what are defined in the code as “crimes”.

A dark day for journalism.

After 6 years and 10 months, Ecuador’s new president has decided to rescind Julian’s political asylum, likely as a result of deals made with the American intelligence community who aren’t happy about the truths revealed by WikiLeaks.

This morning, 11 April 2019, Julian Assange was forced out of the Ecuadorian embassy by London’s metropolitan police. He’s being held on the specious charge of jumping bail back in 2012. He now likely faces extradition to the United States.

Big Telecom funds the studies that tell us their toxic tech is safe. Now they’re rolling out an untested application of a weapons-grade technology to actualize smart cars and the Internet of Things. 5G is designed to deliver concentrated and focused electromagnetic radiation in excess of 100 times current levels, in the same manner as directed energy weapons. 5G is being unveiled in America first because the U.S. allows radiation thresholds that are orders of magnitude higher than other civilized western countries that acknowledge the cancer and health risks associated with wireless signals.

It’s no longer a subject for debate that wireless radiation is carcinogenic, neurotoxic, and genotoxic for humans. And it’s irresponsible to begin unrolling another untested technology when we’re not even measuring what our exposures are to existing networks. But thanks to the industry-owned FCC, the deployment of small cells and 5G cannot legally be slowed by local legislation.

America is presently enthralled in three epidemics that all funnel into a single epidemic; Suicide, violent crime, and opioid overdose all plague the United States and point towards an overall deterioration of mental health. If we examine these epidemics in the context of our EMF exposure we can see a clear correlation. But since the National Toxicology Program’s research only assesses the risk of a single cell phone, we have no way to evaluate our total exposure. Meanwhile we’re daily exposed to multiple wireless networks, cell towers, smart meters, and cell phones.

Dr. Sharon Goldberg warns that putting small cells closer to people’s homes and bedrooms is scientifically and economically dangerous. We’re told that 5G will allow lots of data to be transmitted over high frequency radio waves, which have designated for weapons but not communications because the signals are so easily disrupted by walls, trees, and even weather. Assuming that antennas will need a clear line-of-sight and require tighter spacing, carriers envision dense overlapping networks of small cells. Because existing utility poles and street lights can’t always support the heavy equipment, forests of unnecessary new poles are planned.

America’s radiation levels are not determined by the EPA or CDC or any organization that deals with health. Instead, America’s radiation levels are determined by the FCC, which does not assess human health impacts because the agency became completely captured by the wireless industry decades ago thanks to the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Since the FCC is staffed by former members of the Telecom industry, Big Telecom influences our regulatory bodies to ensure that further expansion of their dangerous technologies goes on unmolested. This also means that much of the available science is heavily influenced by industry funding.

You can’t just roll out a research project on human beings unless you have their informed consent, as well as the approval of independent experts who have examined the research and are convinced of the safety of emerging technologies.

America’s technological obsessions take a toll on our health. Our bodies were not designed to deal with the explosion of EMF activity currently pulsing with microwave radiation everywhere in our environment via cell towers, Wi-Fi, smart meters and the Internet of Things. Your heart and brain are sensitive electrical organs that can be disrupted by exposure to EMFs. Pregnant women in China are required to wear Faraday clothing to shield the unborn from EMFs. Overwhelming evidence illustrates strong correlations between EMFs and infertility, DNA damage, cancer, cardiomyopathy and neuropsychiatric conditions. Meanwhile, individuals with electrohypersensitivity report headaches, ringing in the ears, insomnia, fatigue, migraines, indigestion, chest pain, and confusion. But not everyone who is sensitive feels it right away.

We should treat electrosensitive individuals as the canaries in the coal mine that they are, and seriously question our dependency on wireless technology. Just because the rest of us can’t feel the harmful effects yet doesn’t mean they aren’t affecting us.

Diabetes and heart failure are also linked to EMF exposures because electromagnetic fields and dirty electricity are associated with elevated blood sugar and diabetes. Thus, the closer you live to a cell tower, the higher your blood glucose.

Not only are children addicted to their smartphones, but public schools are now increasingly filled with laptops, tablets and online homework because Silicon Valley pushed tech heavily on schools to make an easy profit. And as public school children daily bathe in an ocean of wireless radiation, the tech elites make sure to keep screens out of their own children’s schools.

As with DDT and tobacco or asbestos and lead, captured regulators and scientists assure us EMFs are safe. And EMF pollution is unique from cigarettes and DDT in that its invisibility makes it easy to dismiss. But the effects are very real. Wealthy families who went all-in on Smart Homes ended up getting sick within just a few months, suggesting that we simply do not need wireless technology.

Even the wireless industry itself has begun acknowledging that users should not use their devices within an inch of the body, while encouraging the use use of speaker phone and air tube headsets.

Nobody should keep a phone in their pocket when it’s on. If tucking your phone on into a pocket or near the body, keep it on airplane mode to suspend the signal transmission of the multiple antennas.

You can visit Antenna Search to find out how close you live to cell towers in your area.

To further minimize your overall exposure, wire your internet with shielded Ethernet cables and move towards fiber optics.

Since your body rejuvenates during sleep, deactivate Wi-Fi at night.

Help reduce exposure to adolescents and children as much as possible. If your kids use an iPad, put the data on the device and turn the Wi-Fi off.

You can also seek out Faraday clothing to help reduce your exposure to the constant bombardment of EMFs currently in our environment.

Taking these steps can help to make our homes, businesses and schools safer.

The Telecom lobby might be well-funded and politically powerful, but we have enough evidence to at least take precautions when using this technology. If enough of us wake up to the health risks associated with wireless technology, industry will start making safe technology and our entire society can move towards a healthier future.

If smart meters were designed to use fiber optics, thousands upon thousands around the world would not have been injured by them. We should make sure that as we move forward with new technologies we make them made safe for biological life, and test them legitimately to make sure that they’re safe.

Social media apps are one of the biggest reasons we pick up our phones. A host of tricks then make it hard for us to put them down. Quitting facebook produces the same physiological reactions as quitting smoking, in part because social media companies hire Attention Engineers who borrow principals from the Las Vegas casino gambling world to make their products as addictive as possible. We rarely if ever hear the term “Habit Forming Technology”. Social media users are experimented on constantly to maximize continued platform scrolling. Modern algorithms driven by AI make sure you don’t decide what gets in and never see what got edited out. We tend to think of the internet as superior to societies of yesteryear where gatekeepers controlled the flow of information. But most of today’s information flows through a handful of big companies that act as contemporary gatekeepers. Who will control the emerging smart surveillance infrastructure, and what will be the rights of the controlled?
