Nick Bostrom - Artificial intelligence is getting smarter by leaps and bounds — within this century, research suggests, a computer AI could be as "smart" as a human being. And then, says Nick Bostrom, it will overtake us: "Machine intelligence is the last invention that humanity will ever need to make." A philosopher and technologist, Bostrom asks us to think hard about the world we're building right now, driven by thinking machines. Will our smart machines help to preserve humanity and our values — or will they have values of their own?

If IBM now admits that their engineers can do it, you can be certain that U.S. Intelligence agencies have been doing it for some time. Targeted hacking is potentially the most malicious and destructive type of surveillance in history. In the hands of rogue intel, all details are laid bare before them. TN Editor The nightmare scenario for computer security – artificial intelligence programs that can learn how to evade even the best defenses – may already have arrived. . That warning from security researchers is driven home by a team from IBM Corp. who have used the artificial intelligence technique known as machine learning to build hacking programs that could slip past top-tier defensive measures. The group will unveil details of its experiment at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas on Wednesday. . State-of-the-art defenses generally rely on examining what the attack software is doing, rather than the more commonplace technique of analyzing software code for danger signs. But the new genre of AI-driven programs can be trained to stay dormant until they reach a very specific target, making them exceptionally hard to stop. . No one has yet boasted of catching any malicious software that clearly relied on machine learning or other variants of artificial intelligence, but that may just be because the attack programs are too good to be caught. . Researchers say that, at best, it’s only a matter of time. Free artificial intelligence building blocks for training programs are readily available from Alphabet Inc’s Google and others, and the ideas work all too well in practice. . https://www.technocracy.news/hackers-now-deploying-ai-to-break-the-best-computer-defenses/ EXPOSURE TO 5G SMALL CELL TOWERS CAN CAUSE EXCESSIVE SWEATING New Prescription for Excessive Armpit Sweating Approved by FDA in Time for Massive 5G Rollout. . AUGUST 3, 2018 - Dr. Yael Stein MD explains: By B.N. Frank It is flammable, though, and users may also experience other unpleasant side effects in addition to their shirts catching fire. However, those who have personally experienced excessive armpit sweating understand why many people will try this product as well as provide it to their children. It’s an interesting coincidence that the FDA approved this prescription just in time for the forced mass “rollout” or installation of 4G and 5G small cell towers in residential yards and everywhere else in U.S. communities as well as overseas. Research has already determined that exposure to 5G can cause excessive sweating. . Excessive underarm sweating is unfortunate on so many levels. For those who are suffering from it, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved a new prescription for ages 9 and up. Computer simulations have demonstrated that sweat glands concentrate sub-terahertz waves in human skin. Humans could sense these waves as heat. The use of sub-terahertz (Millimeter wave) communications technology (cellphones, WiFi, antennas) could cause humans to percept physical pain via nociceptors. Lloyd Burrell from Electricsense wrote a great article that includes as a comprehensive list of other horrible symptoms and conditions from exposure. . https://www.activistpost.com/2018/08/exposure-5g-towers-cause-excessive-sweating-new-prescription- excessive-armpit-sweating-approved-fda-5g-rollout.html   CHINA'S AI "GODDESS" AND THE EAST/WEST AI COMPETITION By Benjamin Fulford Weekly Reports - Aug 13, 2018 - Notice to readers: This is the last of our three pre-written reports. We will return to our usual weekly news format next week. Your patience and understanding have been appreciated. Last year, Russian President Vladimir Putin said whoever leads in AI (Artificial Intelligence) “will control the world.” The Chinese took these words seriously and are investing huge sums of money in an effort to create an AI “Goddess.” They hope it will give them unprecedented powers and help them in their bid to form a world government, according to members of Asian secret societies. The West, for its part, is building a quantum-based financial system they hope will allow them to continue to control the main source of world power - the international financial system. . This battle is serious, and it even led to the Chinese supercomputer Tainhe-1 - at one point the world’s fastest - to be blown up by unknown parties on August 12, 2015. The fact that this explosion came immediately after a sudden unannounced 4% devaluation in the Chinese yuan was almost certainly no coincidence. The fact that the European-headed IMF supported this move shows that the European faction of the Khazarian mafia was in on the plot. . Clearly, some sort of Chinese and European Khazarian attempt to use the devaluation and the supercomputer to destabilize U.S. dollar-based Western financial system did take place and was met with a kinetic response. . Now fast-forward to the third-year anniversary of this explosion. As of June 2018, the U.S. Department of Energy surpassed the Chinese with the world’s fastest publicly acknowledged computer. The system - called Summit - can process 200,000 trillion calculations per second, or 200 petaflops. That’s eight times faster than America’s former top supercomputer, the Titan, and it maintains a big lead over China’s 93-petaflop TaihuLight, which had been the world’s fastest supercomputer since 2016. . https://www.energy.gov/articles/oak-ridge-national-laboratory-launches-america-s-new-top- supercomputer-science http://fortune.com/2018/06/09/america-makes-worlds-fasts-supercomputer-title   BITCOIN, BLOCKCHAINS, LABYRINTHS AND THE MARK OF THE BEAST BLOG Alan Tat - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CY5zeVDX3xg SCARY: CHINA EXPLORES USING AI TO SHAPE FOREIGN POLICY China is using artificial intelligence as a tool to help it decide its foreign policy, detaching from the emotions of useless humans that get in the way of the thought process. What could possibly go wrong allowing A.I. to help decide foreign policy with other countries? The South China Morning Post has reported that "Several prototypes of diplomatic systems using artificial intelligence are under development in China, according to researchers involved or familiar with the projects." . The Post notes that "one early-stage machine, built by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, is already being used by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs." . If it's still not worrying you that robotic algorithms could be deciding foreign policy in China with other nations, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs further confirmed to the South China Morning Post that they had plans to use A.I. in diplomacy. . "Cutting-edge technology, including big data and artificial intelligence, is causing profound changes to the way people work and live. The applications in many industries and sectors are increasing on daily basis," a Ministry spokesman said last month, the news agency reported. According to SCMP, the decision process by the A.I. takes into account "information ranging from cocktail-party gossip to images taken by spy satellites, to contribute to strategies in Chinese diplomacy." . Although, the final decision is in the hands of Chinese officials according to Fu Jingying, a researcher with the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. The fact that A.I. could be helping leaders and governments decide whether or not to go to war or other important policy decisions with a country is especially worrying. . However, the use of A.I. would not only implant decisions without human emotion into these officials' heads over a period of time until it was seen as acceptable, but it would eventually shift politics into allowing algorithms and these systems to decide strategic decisions by itself passing the technology off as an advancement. This is exactly what China wants for its next generation of these machines according to the report. .

He insisted that the new 5G technology being rolled out across the country was both lethal and contained mind control elements that should alarm all people. I thought the claims were outrageous and with scientific justification. Don’t misunderstand me, I know that mind control exists, however, 5G being an element of mind control surprised me. Subsequently, I began a literature search and I found the mother load. . Subsequent to my search, I found the patent that should scare the hell out of all Americans. “United States Patent 6,017,302 Loos January 25, 2000 . SUBLIMINAL ACOUSTIC MANIPULATION OF NERVOUS SYSTEMS . Abstract: In human subjects, sensory resonances can be excited by subliminal atmospheric acoustic pulses that are tuned to the resonance frequency. The 1/2 Hz sensory resonance affects the autonomic nervous system and may cause relaxation, drowsiness, or sexual excitement, depending on the precise acoustic frequency near 1/2 Hz used. The effects of the 2.5 Hz resonance include slowing of certain cortical processes, sleepiness, and disorientation. For these effects to occur, the acoustic intensity must lie in a certain deeply subliminal range. Suitable apparatus consists of a portable battery-powered source of weak subaudio acoustic radiation. . The method and apparatus can be used by the general public as an aid to relaxation, sleep, or sexual arousal, and clinically for the control and perhaps treatment of insomnia, tremors, epileptic seizures, and anxiety disorders. There is further application as a nonlethal weapon that can be used in law enforcement standoff situations, for causing drowsiness and disorientation in targeted subjects. It is then preferable to use venting acoustic monopoles in the form of a device that inhales and exhales air with subaudio frequency. Inventors: Loos; Hendricus G. (Laguna Beach, CA)Family ID:25505170Appl. No.:08/961,907 Filed:October 31, 1997… The patent goes on to further describe the workings of this acoustic technology. . http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u= %2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6017302.PN.&OS= PN%2F6017302&RS=PN%2F6017302 . Experiments have shown that atmospheric acoustic stimulation of deeply subliminal intensity can excite in a human subject the sensory resonances near 1/2 Hz and 2.5 Hz. The 1/2 Hz resonance is characterized by ptosis of the eyelids, relaxation, drowsiness, a tonic smile, tenseness, or sexual excitement, depending on the precise acoustic frequency near 1/2 Hz that is used. The observable effects of the 2.5 Hz resonance include a slowing of certain cortical functions, sleepiness, and, after long exposure, dizziness and disorientation. According to my inside source, that when the brain reaches the 2.5Hz, it is vulnerable to implantation of ideas and suggestions for behavioral modification. I was stunned when I found this passage in the description section of the patent because it matched what I was told by the former DARPA source.. http://www.thecommonsenseshow.com/voice-to-skull-technology-is-embedded-in- 5g-mind-control-reaches-its-apex   HOW 5G WORKS WITH YOUR NEXT PHONE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkJk3iHA91g 5G TOWERS AND RECTENNAS ALL OVER COLORADO !

MUST READ: SHOCK TECH: AI TO RESURRECT THE DEAD WITH HUMAN REPLICAS? . Written By: Callum Hoare September 5, 2018 Technocrat engineers are obsessed with Transhumanism and conquering immortality, but this ‘breakthrough’ is little more than a technology parlor trick to imitate life after death. Before technology, we had puppets with strings, and this is no different except that it is much more realistic. TN Editor . A model has been created by computer scientist Supasorn Suwajanakorn that allows for the generation of a real-life replicas of any human being – dead or alive.The technology uses existing photos or videos to sew together a 3D model of their face. . The more content provided allows for a better reconstruction, but it can be achieved with only a few. . Video footage shows how the technology will allow for people to speak to their passed loved ones, or even create inspiring speeches from well-known authors and lecturers. . Supasorn demonstrates the brilliance of his model with a public statement from George W Bush recited by the likes of Daniel Craig, Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton and Arnold Schwarzenegger. . The unique feature of the artificial intelligence is its ability to mimic the small mannerisms of a person, such as frowns and wrinkles, by breaking each part of the face down into individual controllable segments. . This can then be blended into larger, more generic parts like the head and body, which are less personal. But this brilliant scientific breakthrough is also causing concerns. . Supasorn is worried that in the wrong hands, fake videos misrepresenting people could soon flood the internet. He revealed: “I am fighting against my own work, by implementing moderators to detect fake images and videos. https://www.technocracy.news/shock-tech-ai-to-resurrect-the-dead-with-human-replicas/ Read full story here… https://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/world-news/726877/AI-bring-dead-back-life-human-replicas-3D-tAI – Voice Of God Technology – Mind Hacking “VOICE OF GOD" TECHNOLOGY LEAKED IN GOV.

The massive investment comes as other global powers like China pour significant resources into their own programs. The Pentagon on Friday announced it would spend more than $2 billion over the next five years to advance the foundations of artificial intelligence technology. Through the AI Next initiative, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency aims to bring about so-called “third wave” AI, tools capable of human-like communication and contextual reasoning that far surpass the abilities of today’s most advanced machine-learning and AI technology. . The massive investment comes as global powers like China pour significant resources into their own artificial intelligence R&D programs. “I’m proud to tell you DARPA plans to continue and increase its support for AI research, with a significant focus on the technologies that underpin a third wave of AI,” said DARPA Director Steven Walker in the announcement at the agency’s 60th anniversary conference. “Let’s … double down and commit to ensuring our country continues to create technological surprise for many more years and continues to use that surprise for a better and more secure world.” . DARPA currently runs more than 20 programs to advance artificial intelligence and more than 60 others that explore ways the technology can bolster cybersecurity, share the electromagnetic spectrum and enable other breakthroughs. Under AI Next, the agency will spend the next year significantly expanding that portfolio. . Today, DARPA spends about $300 million annually on its AI endeavors, and AI Next would increase funding by another $100 million per year beginning in fiscal 2019, according to DARPA Chief of Communications Jared Adams.. https://www.nextgov.com/emerging-tech/2018/09/pentagon-will-spend-2-billion-developing- next-generation-ai/151104/ A.I.

The attached pdf file is full of links to their research. I can't reproduce them in this article.] . INTERNATIONAL APPEAL: STOP 5G ON EARTH AND IN SPACE To the UN, WHO, EU, Council of Europe and governments of all nations, We the undersigned scientists, doctors and environmental organizations from ( ) countries, urgently call for a halt to the deployment of the 5G (fifth generation) wireless network, including 5G from space satellites. 5G will massively increase exposure to radio frequency (RF) radiation on top of the 2G, 3G and 4G networks for telecommunications already in place. RF radiation has been proven harmful for humans and the environment. The deployment of 5G constitutes an experiment on humanity and the environment that is defined as a crime under international law. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY . Telecommunications companies worldwide, with the support of governments, are poised within the next two years to roll out the fifth-generation wireless network (5G). This is set to deliver what is acknowledged to be unprecedented societal change on a global scale. We will have “smart” homes, “smart” businesses, “smart” highways, “smart” cities and self-driving cars. Virtually everything we own and buy, from refrigerators and washing machines to milk cartons, hairbrushes and infants’ diapers, will contain antennas and microchips and will be connected wirelessly to the Internet. Every person on Earth will have instant access to super-high-speed, low-latency wireless communications from any point on the planet, even in rainforests, mid-ocean and the Antarctic. . What is not widely acknowledged is that this will also result in unprecedented environmental change on a global scale. The planned density of radio frequency transmitters is impossible to envisage. In addition to millions of new 5G base stations on Earth and 20,000 new satellites in space, 200 billion transmitting objects, according to estimates, will be part of the Internet of Things by 2020, and one trillion objects a few years later. Commercial 5G at lower frequencies and slower speeds was deployed in Qatar, Finland and Estonia in mid-2018. The rollout of 5G at extremely high (millimetre wave) frequencies is planned to begin at the end of 2018. . Despite widespread denial, the evidence that radio frequency (RF) radiation is harmful to life is already overwhelming. The accumulated clinical evidence of sick and injured human beings, experimental evidence of damage to DNA, cells and organ systems in a wide variety of plants and animals, and epidemiological evidence that the major diseases of modern civilization—cancer, heart disease and diabetes—are in large part caused by electromagnetic pollution, forms a literature base of well over 10,000 peer-reviewed studies. . If the telecommunications industry’s plans for 5G come to fruition, no person, no animal, no bird, no insect and no plant on Earth will be able to avoid exposure, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to levels of RF radiation that are tens to hundreds of times greater than what exists today, without any possibility of escape anywhere on the planet. These 5G plans threaten to provoke serious, irreversible effects on humans and permanent damage to all of the Earth’s ecosystems. . Immediate measures must be taken to protect humanity and the environment, in accordance with ethical imperatives and international agreements. .2 (Note: References are provided as hyperlinks and endnotes in the attached pdf file, download and share.) 5G will result in a massive increase in inescapable, involuntary exposure to wireless radiation . GROUND-BASED 5G . In order to transmit the enormous amounts of data required for the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G technology, when fully deployed, will use millimetre waves, which are poorly transmitted through solid material. This will require every carrier to install base stations every 100 metres1 in every urban area in the world. Unlike previous generations of wireless technology, in which a single antenna broadcasts over a wide area, 5G base stations and 5G devices will have multiple antennas arranged in “phased arrays”2,3 that work together to emit focused, steerable, laser-like beams that track each other. . Each 5G phone will contain dozens of tiny antennas, all working together to track and aim a narrowly focused beam at the nearest cell tower. The US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has adopted rules4 permitting the effective power of those beams to be as much as 20 watts, ten times more powerful than the levels permitted for current phones. Each 5G base station will contain hundreds or thousands of antennas aiming multiple laser-like beams simultaneously at all cell phones and user devices in its service area. This technology is called “multiple input multiple output” or MIMO. FCC rules permit the effective radiated power of a 5G base station’s beams to be as much as 30,000 watts per 100 MHz of spectrum,2 or equivalently 300,000 watts per GHz of spectrum, tens to hundreds of times more powerful than the levels permitted for current base stations. SPACE-BASED 5G . . At least five companies5 are proposing to provide 5G from space from a combined 20,000 satellites in low- and medium-Earth orbit that will blanket the Earth with powerful, focused, steerable beams. Each satellite will emit millimetre waves with an effective radiated power of up to 5 million watts6 from thousands of antennas arranged in a phased array. Although the energy reaching the ground from satellites will be less than that from ground-based antennas, it will irradiate areas of the Earth not reached by other transmitters and will be additional to ground-based 5G transmissions from billions of IoT objects. Even more importantly, the satellites will be located in the Earth’s magnetosphere, which exerts a significant influence over the electrical properties of the atmosphere. The alteration of the Earth’s electromagnetic environment may be an even greater threat to life than the radiation from ground-based antennas (see below). Beams from 5G satellites - Beams from 5G base stations . 3 HARMFUL EFFECTS OF RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION ARE ALREADY PROVEN Even before 5G was proposed, dozens of petitions and appeals7 by international scientists, including the Freiburger Appeal signed by over 3,000 physicians, called for a halt to the expansion of wireless technology and a moratorium on new base stations.8 . In 2015, 215 scientists from 41 countries communicated their alarm to the United Nations (UN) and World Health Organization (WHO).9 They stated that “numerous recent scientific publications have shown that EMF [electromagnetic fields] affects living organisms at levels well below most international and national guidelines”. More than 10,000 peer-reviewed scientific studies demonstrate harm to human health from RF radiation.10,11 Effects include: • Alteration of heart rhythm12 • Altered gene expression13 • Altered metabolism14 • Altered stem cell development15 • Cancers16 • Cardiovascular disease17 • Cognitive impairment18 • DNA damage19 • Impacts on general well-being20 • Increased free radicals21 • Learning and memory deficits22 • Impaired sperm function and quality23 • Miscarriage24 • Neurological damage25 • Obesity and diabetes26 • Oxidative stress27 Effects in children include autism,28 attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)29,30 and asthma.31 Damage goes well beyond the human race, as there is abundant evidence of harm to diverse plant- and wildlife32,33 and laboratory animals, including: • Ants34 • Birds35,36 • Forests37 • Frogs38 • Fruit flies39 • Honey bees40 • Insects41 • Mammals42 • Mice43,44 • Plants45 • Rats46 • Trees47 . Negative microbiological effects48 have also been recorded. The WHO’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) concluded in 2011 that RF radiation of frequencies 30 kHz - 300 GHz are possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B).49 However, recent evidence, including the latest studies on cell phone use and brain cancer risks, indicate that RF radiation is proven carcinogenic to humans50 and should now be classified as a ”Group 1 carcinogen” along with tobacco smoke and asbestos. . Most contemporary wireless signals are pulse-modulated. Harm is caused by both the high-frequency carrier wave and the low-frequency pulsations.51 . 4 THE DEPLOYMENT OF 5G SATELLITES MUST BE PROHIBITED The Earth, the ionosphere and the lower atmosphere form the global electric circuit52 in which we live. It is well established that biological rhythms—of humans,53,54 birds,55 hamsters,56 and spiders57,58—are controlled by the Earth’s natural electromagnetic environment and that the well-being of all organisms depends on the stability of this environment, including the electrical properties of the atmosphere.59,60,61,62 Cherry, in a groundbreaking paper,63 explained the importance of the Schumann resonances64 and why ionospheric disturbances can alter blood pressure and melatonin and cause “cancer, reproductive, cardiac and neurological disease and death”. These elements of our electromagnetic environment have already been altered by radiation from power lines. Power line harmonic radiation65 reaches the Earth’s ionosphere and magnetosphere, where it is amplified by wave-particle interactions.66,67 In 1985, Dr. Robert O. Becker warned that power line harmonic radiation had already changed the structure of the magnetosphere, and that the continued expansion of this effect “threatens the viability of all life on Earth”.68 The placement of tens of thousands of satellites directly in both the ionosphere and magnetosphere, emitting modulated signals at millions of watts and millions of frequencies, is likely to alter our electromagnetic environment beyond our ability to adapt.69 . Informal monitoring has already provided evidence indicating serious effects on humans and animals from the approximately 100 satellites that have provided 2G and 3G phone service from low orbit since 1998. Such effects cannot be understood only from consideration of the low levels of radiation on the ground. Knowledge from other relevant scientific disciplines must be taken into account, including the fields of atmospheric physics and acupuncture.70,71,72,73 Adding 20,000 5G satellites will further pollute the global electric circuit74,75 and could alter the Schumann resonances,76 with which all life on Earth has evolved. The effects will be universal and may be profoundly damaging. 5G IS QUALITATIVELY AND QUANTITATIVELY DIFFERENT FROM 4G . The idea that we will tolerate tens to hundreds of times more radiation at millimetre wavelengths is based on faulty modelling of the human body as a shell filled with a homogeneous liquid.77,78 The assumption that millimetre waves do not penetrate beyond the skin completely ignores nerves,79 blood vessels80,81 and other electrically conducting structures that can carry radiation-induced currents deep into the body.82,83,84 Another, potentially more serious error is that phased arrays are not ordinary antennas. When an ordinary electromagnetic field enters the body, it causes charges to move and currents to flow. But when extremely short electromagnetic pulses enter the body, something else happens: the moving charges themselves become little antennas that reradiate the electromagnetic field and send it deeper into the body. These reradiated waves are called Brillouin precursors.85 They become significant when either the power or the phase of the waves changes rapidly enough.86 5G will probably satisfy both criteria. . In addition, shallow penetration in itself poses a unique danger to eyes and to the largest organ of the body, the skin, as well as to very small creatures. Peer-reviewed studies have recently been published, predicting thermal skin burns87 in humans from 5G radiation and resonant absorption by insects,88 which absorb up to 100 times as much radiation at millimetre .wavelengths as they do at wavelengths presently in use. Since populations of flying insects have declined by 75-80 per cent since 1989 even in protected nature areas,89 5G radiation could have catastrophic effects on insect populations worldwide. A 1986 study by Om Gandhi warned that millimetre waves are strongly absorbed by the cornea of the eye, and that ordinary clothing, being of millimetre-size thickness, increases the absorption of energy by the skin by a resonance-type effect.90 Russell (2018) reviews the known effects of millimetre waves on skin, eyes (including cataracts), heart rate, immune system and DNA. REGULATORS HAVE DELIBERATELY EXCLUDED THE SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE OF HARM . Stakeholders thus far in the development of 5G have been industry and governments, while renowned international EMF scientists who have documented biological effects on humans, animals, insects and plants, and alarming effects on health and the environment in thousands of peer-reviewed studies have been excluded. The reason for the current inadequate safety guidelines is that conflicts of interest of standard-setting bodies “due to their relationships with telecommunications or electric companies undermine the impartiality that should govern the regulation of Public Exposure Standards for non-ionizing radiation”.91 Professor Emeritus Martin L. Pall lays out the conflicts of interest in detail, and the lists of important studies that have been excluded, in his literature review.92 THE THERMAL HYPOTHESIS IS OBSOLETE - NEW SAFETY STANDARDS ARE NEEDED . Current safety guidelines are based on the obsolete hypothesis that heating is the only harmful effect of EMFs. As Markov and Grigoriev have stated, “Today standards do not consider the real pollution of the environment with nonionizing radiation”.93 Hundreds of scientists, including many signatories to this appeal, have proven that many different kinds of acute and chronic illnesses and injuries are caused without heating (“non-thermal effect”) from radiation levels far below international guidelines.9 Biological effects occur even at near-zero power levels. Effects that have been found at 0.02 picowatts (trillionths of a watt) per square centimetre or less include altered genetic structure in E. coli94 and in rats,95 altered EEG in humans,96 growth stimulation in bean plants,97 and stimulation of ovulation in chickens.98 . To protect against non-thermal effects, duration of exposure must be considered. 5G will expose everyone to many more transmissions simultaneously and continuously, day and night without cessation. New safety standards are needed and should be based on cumulative exposure and not only on power levels but also on frequency, bandwidth, modulation, waveform, pulse width and other properties that are biologically important. Antennas must be confined to specific, publicly identified locations. To protect humans, antennas must be located far from where people live and work, and excluded from the public rights-of-way where people walk. To protect wildlife, they must be excluded from wilderness sanctuaries and strictly minimized in remote areas of the Earth. To protect all life, commercial communications satellites must be limited in number and prohibited in low- and medium-Earth orbits. Phased arrays must be prohibited on Earth and in space. RF RADIATION HAS BOTH ACUTE AND CHRONIC EFFECTS RF radiation has both immediate and long-term effects. Cancer and heart disease are examples of long-term effects. Alteration of heart rhythm99 and changes in brain function (EEG)100 are examples of immediate effects. A syndrome that was called radiowave sickness101 in the former Soviet Union and is called electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS) around the world today102 can be either acute or chronic. Professor Dr. Karl Hecht has published a detailed history of these syndromes, compiled from a review of more than 1,500 Russian scientific papers and the clinical histories of more than 1,000 of his own patients in Germany. Objective findings include sleep disorders, abnormal blood pressure and heart rate, digestive disorders, hair loss, tinnitus and skin rash. Subjective symptoms include dizziness, nausea, headache, memory loss, inability to concentrate, fatigue, flu-like symptoms and cardiac pain. 103 . The EUROPAEM EMF Guideline 2016 states that EHS develops when people are “continuously exposed in their daily life” to increasing levels of EMFs, and that “reduction and prevention of EMF exposure” is necessary to restore these patients to health.104 EHS should no longer be considered a disease, but an injury by a toxic environment that affects an increasingly large portion of the population, estimated already at 100 million people worldwide,105,106 and that may soon affect everyone107 if the worldwide rollout of 5G is permitted. . The International Scientific Declaration on EHS and multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS), Brussels, declared in 2015 that “[i]naction is a cost to society and is not an option any more … [W]e unanimously acknowledge this serious hazard to public health ... [urgently requiring] that major primary prevention measures are adopted and prioritized, to face this worldwide pan-epidemic in perspective” (emphasis added).108 WORLD GOVERNMENTS ARE FAILING DUTY OF CARE OF THE POPULATIONS THEY GOVERN In their haste to implement 5G and to encourage the unconstrained use of outer space, the European Union, United States and national governments worldwide are taking steps to ensure a “barrier-free” regulatory environment.109 They are prohibiting local authorities from enforcing environmental laws,110 and “in the interest of speedy and cost-effective deployment”, removing “unnecessary burdens … such as local planning procedures [and] the variety of specific limits on electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions and of the methods required to aggregate them”.111 . Governments are also enacting laws to make wireless facilities a permitted use in all public rights-of-way.112 To date, most wireless facilities have been located on private property at some distance from homes and businesses. In order for them to be spaced less than 100 metres apart as required by 5G, however, they will now be located on the sidewalk directly in front of homes and businesses and close above the heads of pedestrians, including mothers with babies. . Public notice requirements and public hearings are being eliminated. Even if there were a . Even if there were a hearing and 100 scientific experts were to testify against 5G, laws have been passed making it illegal for local authorities to take their testimony into consideration. US law, for example, prohibits local governments from regulating wireless technology “on the basis of the environmental effects of radio frequency radiation”,113 and courts have reversed regulatory decisions about cell tower placement simply because most of the public testimony was about health.114 Insurers will not provide coverage against EMF risks,115,116 and there is zero clarity as to what entity will bear legal responsibility for damage to life, limb and property arising from exposure to 5G, whether ground- or space-based.117 . In the absence of an agreed comprehensive legal regime governing activities in outer space, legal liability for those activities is non-existent, despite the prospect of whole continents, the atmosphere and the oceans being put at risk by them. INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS ARE BEING VIOLATED. CHILDREN AND DUTY OF CARE . The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child: States shall “undertake to ensure the child such protection and care as is necessary for his or her well-being” (art. 3), “ensure … the survival and development of the child” (art. 6) and “take appropriate measures to combat disease … taking into consideration the dangers and risks of environmental pollution” (art. 24(c)). . The Nuremberg Code (1949) applies to all experiments on humans, thus including the deployment of 5G with new, higher RF radiation exposure that has not been pre-market tested for safety. “The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential” (art. 1). Exposure to 5G will be involuntary. “No experiment should be conducted, where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur” (art. 5). The findings of over 10,000 scientific studies and the voices of hundreds of international organizations representing hundreds of thousands of members who have suffered disabling injury and been displaced from their homes by already-existing wireless telecommunications facilities, are “a priori reasons to believe that death or disabling injury will occur”. . DUTY TO INFORM AND EMFs . The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (2012) of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) stated that “[t]here is a need to inform the public of the potential effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs)” and invited Member States “to adopt suitable measures in order to ensure compliance with relevant international recommendations to protect health against the adverse effect of EMF”. . The Mid-term review of the European Environment and Health Action Plan 2004-2010 (2008): “The European Parliament … [n]otes that the limits on exposure to electromagnetic fields which have been set for the general public are obsolete, … obviously take no account of developments in information and communication technologies, of the recommendations issued by the European Environment Agency or of the stricter emission standards adopted, for example, by Belgium, Italy and Austria, and do not address the issue of vulnerable groups, such as pregnant women, newborn babies and children.” . Resolution 1815 (Council of Europe, 2011): “Take all reasonable measures to reduce exposure to electromagnetic fields, especially to radio frequencies from mobile phones, and particularly the exposure to children and young people.” . ENVIRONMENT . The Declaration of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment (1972): “The discharge of toxic substances ... in such quantities or concentrations as to exceed the capacity of the environment to render them harmless, must be halted in order to ensure that serious or irreversible damage is not inflicted upon ecosystems” (principle 6). . The World Charter for Nature (1982): “Activities which are likely to cause irreversible damage to nature shall be avoided ... [W]here potential adverse effects are not fully understood, the activities should not proceed” (art. 11). . The Rio Declaration on Environment and Development (1992): “States have … the respon-sibility to ensure that activities within their jurisdiction or control do not cause damage to the environment of other States or of areas beyond the limits of national jurisdiction” (principle 2). . The United Nations World Summit on Sustainable Development (2002): “There is an urgent need to … create more effective national and regional policy responses to environmental threats to human health” (para. 54(k)). . The African Convention on the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (2017): “The Parties shall … take all appropriate measures to prevent, mitigate and eliminate to the maximum extent possible, detrimental effects on the environment, in particular from radioactive, toxic, and other hazardous substances and wastes” (art. 13). . HEALTH AND HUMAN RIGHTS . The Universal Declaration of Human Rights: “Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person” (art. 3). The United Nations Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescents’ Health (2016-2030) has as objectives and targets to “transform”, by expanding enabling environments; to “survive”, by reducing maternal and newborn mortality; and to “thrive” by ensuring health and well-being and reducing pollution-related deaths and illnesses. . SPACE . The Outer Space Treaty (1967) requires that the use of outer space be conducted “so as to avoid [its] harmful contamination and also adverse changes in the environment of the Earth” (art. IX). . The United Nations Guidelines for The Long-Term Sustainability of Outer Space Activities (2018): “States and international intergovernmental organizations should address ... risks to people, property, public health and the environment associated with the launch, in-orbit operation and re-entry of space objects” (guideline 2.2(c)). . WORLD GOVERNMENTS ARE PLAYING DICE WITH LIFE ON EARTH . Albert Einstein famously asserted that “God does not play dice”.118 Yet by pursuing the broadcast on Earth and from space of 5G, an unprecedented technology of millimetre waves previously used as an energy weapon in military operations and crowd control,119 world governments are recklessly playing dice with the future of life on Earth. . To refuse to accept and apply relevant and valid scientific knowledge is ethically unacceptable. Existing research shows that 5G—and especially space-based 5G—contravenes principles enshrined in a host of international agreements. . WE CALL UPON THE UN, WHO, EU, COUNCIL OF EUROPE AND GOVERNMENTS OF ALL NATIONS . (a) To take immediate measures to halt the deployment of 5G on Earth and in space in order to protect all humankind, especially the unborn, infants, children, adolescents and pregnant women, as well as the environment; . (b) To follow the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and Council of Europe Resolution 1815 by informing citizens, including teachers and physicians, about the health risks (to adults and children) from RF radiation, and why they should and how they can avoid wireless communication and base stations, particularly in or near day-care centres, schools, hospitals, homes and workplaces; . (c) To favour and implement wired telecommunications instead of wireless; . (d) To prohibit the wireless/telecommunications industry through its lobbying organiza-tions from persuading officials to make decisions permitting further expansion of RF radiation, including ground- and space-based 5G; . (e) To appoint immediately—without industry influence—international groups of independent, truly impartial EMF and health scientists with no conflicts of interest,120 for the purpose of establishing new international safety standards for RF radiation that are not based only on power levels, that consider cumulative exposure, and that protect against all health and environmental effects, not just thermal effects and not just effects on humans; . (f) To appoint immediately—without industry influence—international groups of scientists with expertise in EMFs, health, biology and atmospheric physics, for the purpose of developing a comprehensive regulatory framework that will ensure that the uses of outer space are safe for humans and the environment, taking into account RF radiation, rocket exhaust gases, black soot, and space debris and their impacts on ozone,121 global warming,122 the atmosphere and the preservation of life on Earth. Not only ground-based but also space-based technology must be sustainable123 for adults and children, animals and plants. .
