s without borders reporters sans frontieres robert fisk sceptics book of pooh pooh science based medicine skepticator slackbastard suki has an opinion the quackometer search mgk science and 5g in the blue mountains wednesday february 06th 2019 10 47 pm mgk returns from a long hiatus to reproduce a letter i wrote to blue mountains city council mayor mark greenhill as a response to a blue mountains gazette story about a council meeting being mobbed by a gaggle of anti science anti 5g phone system fearmongers dear mayor greenhill i am a resident of the blue mountains a retired radio broadcast engineer with approximately 40 years experience with radio transmission technologies i am writing to indicate that there are blue mountains residents who are interested in the issue of 5g service in the blue mountains but whom are not swayed by rumour and bad science i am made aware of the appearance of anti 5g activists at a recent council meeting by way of this blue mountains gazette story no 5g in the blue mountains packs council chamber i note with interest your comments in the mayoral minute from this story it is billed as the next big thing the mayoral minute reported community concerns surrounding the introduction of 5g are varied ranging from the lack of research into the technology ahead of the roll out to the potential health concerns for both people and animals notably the bee population that may be caused due to radio frequencies emanating from towers and antennas required to support the new technology 5g telephony differs from existing 2g 3g 4g systems only in the data transfer rate and operating frequency of 5g systems this is to say that 5g operates on a higher channel in the same way radio station 2gb operates on a higher frequency at 873khz than does abc sydney on 702khz telstra 4g operates on several bands the highest frequency presently in use being 2 6ghz optus 4g operates on 2 3 and 2 6ghz telstra s experimental 5g system is operating on 3 6ghz the reason for the higher frequency is that 5g is specified to move data at higher rates than earlier generations of cellular technology when you want to send data faster the radio signal must be wider occupying more radio spectrum space radio spectrum is a limited resource most spectrum is presently in use by other services the higher the frequency of a radio wave the more it acts like visible light extremely high frequency radio waves do not penetrate buildings and other obstacles like leafy trees well nor have the coverage range of lower frequency signals this is why lower frequency signals have been preferred for existing services this poor building penetration is caused by a phenomenon known as skin effect skin effect causes radio signals to be carried mainly on the surfaces of obstacles and conductors including wires and people the higher the frequency of a radio signal the less likely it is to have an ability to affect any human tissues below the surface of the skin the only remaining spectrum which has enough space for the width of 5g signals is at these extremely high frequencies which are somewhat hobbled by the laws of physics a 5g network will thus require many short range base stations for effective coverage there may be 5g base stations required every few hundred metres these base stations will have lower power output than 4g stations radio waves are a form of non ionising radiation non ionising radiation is so classed as as it is unable to knock electrons off the orbit of molecules or create ions as can ionising radiation as is emitted by ultraviolet light and radionuclear materials such as uranium plutonium etc non ionising radiation is thus unable to cause damage or mutations to dna a common way that assorted cancers can be caused there have been 25 000 peer reviewed studies over the last 30 years into biological effects of electromagnetic radiation reviewed by the united nations world health organisation none have revealed any harms to human health there is not a single known case of any cancer definitively caused by exposure to communications level radio signals or other electromagnetic fields the telstra experimental 5g system operates on 3 6ghz a radio frequency well within the non ionising portion of the electromagnetic spectrum consequently there is no difference in effects on human biology between extant 2g 3g 4g and the proposed 5g mobile telephone technologies cellular mobile phones have no demonstrated effect on honeybees there is a popular misconception that cellular phones may be related to honeybee colony collapse disorder as a result of confusion by a reporter at the independent in 2007 between dect cordless phones as used in homes and cellular phones after a study which placed dect cordless phone base modules in a bee hive claimed to have been related to the collapse of one of the hives used in the study the scientists who conducted the study were aghast at the confusion and disavowed the claims made by the independent as reported here in fosters and also in the international herald tribune the global edition of the new york times i am sure you are aware of public health expert professor simon chapman s science based commentary on the topic as mentioned in the gazette story and perhaps also by his voluminous publication on the topic dating back to the 1990s when there were community protests about the then new telstra mobile phone network base station sites being installed in and around sydney 5g being just another iteration of cellular telephone service nothing has changed as regards public health and mobile phones as prof chapman s comments in his 23 january 2019 post on the subject whack a mole knocking the mobile phones cause cancer claim on the head as such in contention with your comment in the pertinent mayoral minute there is voluminous good scientific research regarding lack of negative health effects of mobile telephone systems inclusive of 5g as it is no different than any other system except for data speed and operating frequency which remains in the non ionising region on humans and no known evidence indicating any negative effect of mobile telephone systems on bees i am not interested in attending council meetings and having stand up arguments with science deniers who have a religion like commitment to their beliefs this will have no effect on their convictions however i hope you and the other councillors recognise the actual science in existence on the issue and implement no policies which will restrict the rollout of 5g in the blue mountains regards wallet name 3 comments how the nra suckered its membership into financially supporting international arms dealing saturday july 28th 2012 4 22 pm the nra is crowing about their influence after the unodc was unable to get an international small arms trading treaty ratified the nra s line to the rank and file membership is that this treaty would allow the un to take guns out of the hands of us citizens yep obama the un are comin fer yer gunnnnz so give us money except they re not but nra supporting members dues certainly did pay for this nra lobbying effort one little problem with the nra s claim the 1957 landmark supreme court case reid v covert established that us treaties with foreign nations do not supersede the terms of the us constitution the treaty would have had no effect whatsoever on us citizens rights under the 2nd amendment so if there was no possibility for the treaty to interfere with 2nd amendment rights what was the nra s interest in this un international small arms treaty us gun manufacturers and sellers most definitely have an interest in international trade and the nra is their peak lobbying body the nra were protecting gun rights the rights to massive profits from international small arms sales but the punters bought the nra s scare story you see it over and over again on twitter oh yes the nra has saved our gun rights again except they didn t yet nra members made nra president wayne la pierre a millionaire again this year you d think the ever passionate la pierre would put some of his not inconsiderable wealth back into fighting the good fight as it were but he has never put in a penny well played nra and by that i refer to the way the nra played their membership like a cheap fiddle weez 0 comments us presidential elections the practical effect of voting your conscience sunday july 01st 2012 9 39 am the two party us electoral system is rubbish it does not afford minority representation as does a parliamentary system voting for a 3rd party candidate in us presidential elections is in the most generous of estimations the same as not voting at all some of obama s policies are morally indefensible specifically the use of drones in pakistan etc where pretty much anyone killed beyond the predetermined targets is counted by the us military cia as an enemy combatant anyway i m no happier about this than any other progressive voter however if one s intent by voting for a mathematically unelectable yet progressive left 3rd party candidate is to drive the political landscape further to the left than obama know that the practical effect of such a wasted 3rd party vote is a vote for romney your ineffective protest vote simply puts romney one vote closer to victory romney is unlikely to change the drone usage policy if anything given how beholden romney is to big money interests such as the military industrial complex such a program will be stepped up it s equally likely that romney will follow his puppetmasters desires for more war in general with boots on the ground likely in iran at that point your 3rd party vote not only didn t support your idealistic aims it will be directly responsible for even more death and destruction but now including us armed forces personnel further to that there s no small likelihood that there will be some us supreme court retirements during the next 4 years justice ginsburg a stalwart of the court s liberal bloc has been treated for pancreatic cancer justice antonin scalia the court s most visible conservative is 76 justice anthony m kennedy frequently the swing vote is 75 and justice stephen g breyer like justice ginsburg a democratic appointee is about to turn 74 the median age for retirement of supreme court justices is 78 4 years when you consider the extremely narrow escape for the affordable care act and the wrack and ruin of the us political landscape the outright legitimisation of political corruption wrought by the citizens united decision on party lines by conservative scotus appointees the importance of as many as four potential obama appointments to the top court cannot be understated idealism is wonderful you should be idealistic however you must consider the practical effect of your idealism given the fetterment of the us electoral system your idealism may well have the precisely opposite effect to your intent if not worse weez 3 comments yshield new scam artist flogging emr shielding paint tuesday april 10th 2012 6 15 pm for as long as there s been new technologies there s been scam artists ready to take money from people who have irrational fears about them this phenomenon dates at least back to the introduction of home electrification which was quite mysterious to many at the time more recently scammers have flogged fears about mobile phones purportedly causing cancer and it s been investigated over and over and over with sample sizes in the tens of thousands and sampling periods of more than a decade not a single proven case of radio signal induced illness of any kind cancer included has ever been recorded with the introduction of smart power meters the ignorant are again being exploited have your say just not what an ormond doctor ordered 9 apr 12 12 01am by jesse wray mccann an ormond doctor has had her home painted with electromagnetic shielding paint because she says smart meters in her street are making her ill federica lamech said she could not work due to debilitating health problems caused by smart meters even through she did not have one in her own home dr lamech said she had suffered continuous palpitations chest pain lethargy dizziness fainting and insomnia since the meters were rolled out in her area in february i am not able to function dr lamech said yshield electromagnetic radiation shielding general manager david mould said it had painted hundreds of houses since the smart meter rollout began we ve done four houses this week in ormond east bentleigh and st kilda mr mould said last week demand is so high we re having to book jobs weeks in advance she has taken sick leave from her aspendale gardens gp practice i can t work i can t look after my family and i need my husband now the only breadwinner to take care of me dr lamech said stop smart meters australia spokesman marc florio demanded the state government follow the lead of the uk government which was reportedly planning to make smart meters voluntary government spokeswoman emily broadbent said the meters were safe and their radiofrequency emissions were weaker than many other household devices ms broadbent said the world health organisation determined electromagnetic hypersensitivity was not a medical diagnosis wow a gp no less has been conned by an outfit called yshield electromagnetic shielding technologies into painting her home with electromagnetic shielding paint which yshield claims has only carbon and no metallic matter in it first of all any device with a microprocessor in it will have a circuit called a clock oscillator in it clock oscillators generate extremely low level electrical pulses in the radio frequency range these pulses are used by the microprocessor to time the execution of lines of code which make digital widgets do what they do everything from pocket calculators and digital watches clocks to tv sets as well as desktop laptop and tablet computers have clock oscillators smart meters are no different even with highly sensitive receiving equipment the radio emissions from a clock oscillator are difficult to detect from more than a few centrimetres away second there s absolutely no evidence whatsoever that radio signals including extremely weak clock oscillator signals from calculators watches and wifi to the very weak signals from mobile phones the much stronger signals from microwave ovens to the very strongest rf sources you re likely to find on earth those being megawatt level tv transmitters cause any malady electrosensitivity is completely imaginary despite the hordes of unscrupulous ratbags often on the internet trying to sell cures and or mitigations to salve this imaginary malady if you really want to block radio signals and there s good reasons to do so particularly if you are working with sensitive electronic equipment that may not function correctly in the presence of stray rf fields such as when performing an alignment on a radio receiver you need what s known as a faraday cage a faraday cage is normally made from brass...
