    Global Day of Protest Against 5G

    January 25, 2020

    Update on 5G Satellites


    So far, groups in the following countries have announced that they are organizing events on January 25, 2020 as part of the Global Day of Protest against 5G: Australia Austria Canada Croatia Czech Republic Denmark France

    Germany Ireland Italy Japan Netherlands New Zealand Norway Poland Portugal Romania Serbia South Africa Spain Sweden Switzerland United Kingdom United States


    If you are organizing an event in a country that is not on thatlist, please contact Dorotea at stop5gnow@protonmail.com


    Current List of Companies Planning 5G Satellites


    As of today, the following companies are planning to launch, or are already launching, 5G satellites into low orbit around the Earth: SpaceX, based in the United States, has plans for 42,000 satellites, has already launched 120, intends to launch 60 at a time twice a month during 2020, and is developing a larger rocket that can launch 120 at a time. As soon as 420 satellites are in orbit, it plans to turn them on. That could be as early as February 2020. OneWeb, based in the United Kingdom, has plans for 5,260 satellites and intends to launch 30 at a time every three to four weeks beginning in January 2020. As soon as 300 satellites are in orbit, in late 2020, it plans to turn them on. Telesat, based in Canada, has plans for 512 satellites, and intends to begin service in 2021. Amazon has plans for 3,236 satellites and intends to begin service as soon as 578 are in orbit. Facebook has plans for thousands of satellites but has not disclosed its plans to the public. Roscosmos, the Russian Space Agency, has plans for 640 satellites, to be deployed between 2022 and 2026. Aerospace Science and Industry Corp., a Chinese state-owned company, has plans for 156 satellites, to be in place by 2022.


    The above companies will broadcast only 5G and will sell user devices that will be mounted on homes and vehicles and will function as small cells. Another company, Lynk,has plans for “several thousand” satellites that will communicate directly with cell phones and will broadcast not only 5G, but also 2G, 3G and 4G. Lynk intends to begin service in 2023. In addition to these satellite plans, Loon, a subsidiary of Google, has a contract to provide Internet to remote areas of the Amazon rainforest in Peru from stratospheric balloons.


    China Already Has Nationwide 5G, and Is Developing 6G


    Two countries already have nationwide 5G, China and South Korea. And the insanity continues to escalate: China is already developing 6G. On November 7, CNBC reported that 37 universities, research institutes, and enterprises will be involved in developing 6G technology in China. 6G will use even higher frequencies than 5G, and will send even greater tsunamis of data all over this fragile world. And other countries are rushing to compete as well. The University of Oulu in Finland has a 6G research institute. On September 29, 2019, Rohde and Schwarz demonstrated a prototype system operating at 300 GHz at a workshop in Paris. And in the U.S., the Federal Communications Commission is planning to open up frequencies up to 3 THz (3,000 GHz) for research purposes.


    Change Begins with Us


    Today, the world’s immortal forests are being turned into laser paper for the world’s computers. The world’s great oceans are filling up with microplastics, into which our shampoo bottles and grocery bags, by the disposable billions, are breaking down. Highways, ever wider and faster, are being bulldozed through mountains and across fjords, and invading the last great roadless areas on Earth. And billions of handheld devices are blanketing the Earth with lethal radiation. As Rachel Carson warned, not just the songs of birds, but the croakings of frogs and the buzzings of insects are growing rapidly fainter all over the Earth. And it is not because we humans have become magically more aggressive towards the Earth since I was born. We were on this Earth for hundreds of thousands of years without doing damage to it. It is our new technology that is aggressive. It is a mistake to think that because IT is so powerful, that WE are so powerful. We aren’t. The truth is exactly the opposite. We are as delicate and vulnerable as the insects, birds and frogs, and we live or die as they do. The most aggressive piece of technology yet invented is the cell phone. The question we have got to confront is, do we want to survive? Which do we want more: our phones or our planet? Consider:

    · Radio frequency radiation is the first pollutant in history that is being deliberately spread over every square inch of the Earth, with the goal of leaving no place unpolluted.

    · In order for your cell phone to work, the entire wireless infrastructure, including all the cell towers, has to be there, all over the planet.

    · A cell phone is not safer than a cell tower. The technology is the same. The radiation is the same. Your biggest source of exposure is your phone, not the towers.

    Everyone wants cell phones. No one wants cell towers. Unless this changes, 5G will not be stopped and life on Earth will end. 5G is only more of what we already have, that has already decimated the world’s insect, amphibian and bird populations, and that has caused the present epidemics of cancer, diabetes and heart disease. It is up to us.

    360 degrees VR space safari with Helen Sharman, astronaut from Sheffield - 5min

    Appreciation of Mother Earth

    Premiered on 24 Sep 2019.

    “We can’t send all of Earth’s citizens into space, but with the 360° VR Space Safari we can get you as close as possible. We’ve teamed up with American and European astronauts to send you on a virtual mission through space. Astronauts report that they feel a greater sense of responsibility for our home, planet Earth, when they experience it from outer space. By helping everyone see planet Earth from this unique vantage point, we hope more people will show love for our home and speed up green action globally”

    “We face a direct existential threat.

    Our fate is in our hands.”

    Antonio Guterres

    UN Secretary-General


    Please see - https://rebellion.earth/the-truth/the-emergency/


    The science is clear: It is understood that we are facing an unprecedented global emergency. We are in a life or death situation of our own making. We must act now.


    Prof. James Hansen, former Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies

    “We are in a planetary emergency.”

    Prof. Schellnhuber, founder of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research

    “Based on sober scientific analysis, we are deeply within a climate emergency state but people are not aware of it” - WHY?!!!

    Prof. Hugh Montgomery, director of the University College London Institute for Human Health and Performance, Lancet Commission Co-Chair

    “Climate change is a medical emergency … It thus demands an emergency response…”

    Ban Ki-Moon, former UN Secretary General

    “This is an emergency and for emergency situations we need emergency action.”


    “Just look at us. Everything is backwards; everything is upside down: Doctors destroy health, lawyers destroy justice, social workers destroy families, universities destroy knowledge, governments destroy freedom, the major media destroys information, & religions destroy Spirituality”

    Michael Ellner


    “Change your thoughts and you will change the world”

    Ralph Waldo Emerson


    “The nature of man is always the same; it is their habits that separate them”

    Confucius


    “Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not”

    Dr. Seuss, The Lorax


    “Open your hearts, choose veganism, and take immediate action to protect all life on Earth”


    “The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried” - Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 - 1936)


    “To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless” - Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874 - 1936)


    “If ONE government had a heart, it would have told us about mass extinction, mass pollution, and dwindling resources, many years ago, and given us the simple solutions, and put the onus on us to create inner positive change”


    It has never been:- “The government leads, and the public follows”

    It has always been:- “The public leads, and the government follows”


    “Nikola Tesla’s spiritual teachings and scientific knowledge would have put us 400 years ahead of where we are today if the public, govts, and businesses, had not ignored, suppressed, stolen, or hidden, them. They are still being ignored today”


    “Govts possess in-depth knowledge about everything, including this climate emergency, and could have stopped it at any time and advised the public at any time – but didn’t!”


    “Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do” - Voltaire


    “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing” - Edmund Burke


    “What paralyzes life is lack of faith and lack of audacity. The difficulty lies not in solving problems but expressing them. And so we cannot avoid this conclusion: it is biologically evident that to gain control of passion and so make it serve spirit must be a condition of progress. Sooner or later, then, the world will brush aside our incredulity and take this step: because whatever is the truer comes out into the open, and whatever is better is ultimately realized. The day will come when, after harnessing the ether, the winds, the tides, gravitation, we shall harness for God the energies of love. And, on that day, for the second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire” - Pierre Teilhard de Chardin


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfGMYdalClU - Man - Steve Cutts - 3 min


    "You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete" - Buckminster Fuller

    "If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation"- Lao Tzu


    "Be kind to one another. Be very very kind"


    "Civilisation is a conspiracy … Modern life is the silent pact of comfortable folk to keep up pretences" - John Buchan (1875 - 1940)


    "TRUTH: - All truth passes through 3 stages: - Firstly, it is ridiculed; secondly, it is violently opposed; and finally, it is accepted as self-evident" - Arthur Schopenhauer, philosopher (1788 - 1860)


    "No truly sophisticated proponent of repression would be stupid enough to shatter the facade of democratic institutions" - Murray B. Levin


    "The more complete the despotism, the more smoothly all things move on the surface" - Elizabeth Stanton

    "War is over. If you want it" - John Lennon


    "Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds" - Albert Einstein


    “Without a struggle there is no strength”


    "In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave and hated and scorned. When his caused succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot" - Mark Twain


    "These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his own country; but he that stands it now deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered" - Thomas Paine


    "An empire is an immense egotism" - Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 - 1882)


    "People who shut their eyes to reality simply invite their own destruction" - James Baldwin

    "Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realise that we can’t eat money" - Cree Indian proverb


    "The Soul is the same in all living creatures, although the body of each is different" - Hippocrates


    "A Shaman revealed that animals will be arriving more and more in the lives of humans - in dreams, as guides, in the news, everywhere - because they realise that humans are in trouble and need the message they are here to tell"
