U.K. Cellphone Towers Ablaze As Conspiracy Theories Link 5G Networks To COVID-19
NPR ^ | 4/4/2020 | Jason Slotkin

Posted on 04/06/2020 9:31:41 AM PDT by Zenyatta

Conspiracy theories tying 5G networks to the coronavirus pandemic are troubling telecom authorities in the United Kingdom and are being cited as possible motivation for multiple cellphone tower fires this week.

Fires on at least three towers have been reported over the past few days. In at least two instances, accompanying videos and online posts are raising concerns that the attacks may be linked to conspiracy theories that cast 5G networks as the actual cause of COVID-19.

Liberals had no problem with eco-terrorism - folks burning down businesses they disagreed with. Just sayin’.

Are the towers being arsoned ?

Or are the towers and antennae catching fire from bad design?

Or are the antennae catching fire from over use of people being home bound?

Things exist.
The virus also exists.
If nothing existed, the virus would not be a problem.
Existence is to blame!

“5G doesn’t cause infection, but microwaves cause cell membranes to become more permeable, therefore more susceptible to infection.”

Is this a BINGO moment, worthy of repeating ?

5G? they need to be on telephone poles 500 yards apart, not cell towers two miles appart.

If it were me i’d start with the mosques...but that’s just me.


No, I’m not blaming this one on the muslims. The blame lies with Communist China. What can we do to inconvenience them?

And to add to that. Another reason to reelect PDJT is that he is by far the most likely to actually pay them back.

yep, 5g networks deploying Nanobots into your ear hole every time you make a call.

need to stuff ear hole with anti nanobot fibers

I got bit by a squirrel once

I have seen this theory floating around and I think it is a bunch of crap! However I do believe that 5G is very bad. It is basically like being around a microwave oven with the door open. It is very sad that the human race is so bent on their digital devices that they are willing to give up their health in order to satisfy there worldly needs. I believe that 5G is going to be very destructive to both the body and the mind.

I also believe that the goal is to have people completely connected to the digital stream for all actions and transactions which will ultimately be controlled by.....

The goal is to do what they are already doing in China. You must have your cellphone with you at all times so they can monitor your every move.

If you leave home without your cellphone in China the punishment is swift and sever.

Not really.

5G is a software spec and upgrade to the 4G network.

5G supports licensed frequencies from roughly 700 MEGA Hertz to 39 GIGA Hertz. Most all the deployed 5G areas will be served in by sub 6 GIGA hertz frequencies. Wifi by example ranges from 2-5 GIGA hertz.

Microwaves by definition are 1 GHz - 300 GHz. Your microwave oven is ~2.5 GHz, at 600-1200 watts.

A 5G antenna might range from one QUARTER watt indoors, to 50 watts up on a tall tower.

Xrays by comparison are 6 orders of magnitude higher frequency. Xrays are technically “radiation” ie ionizing, ruin your DNA, kill you waves.

Don’t let 5G misinformation confuse you.

The 5G Wikimedia site is pretty good.

How do they know it’s not just a delayed effect of 3G or 4G? /s

Verizon users may never know. It’s a race to the bottom to determine which is slower. My modem/router with Sparklite (formerly CableOne) or via cell with Verizon.

The only connection between the two is that the chicoms will use both as weapons. So far were seeing the effects of their bioweapon attack on the rest of the world. The communications network easter eggs will hatch at a later, more strategic date.

Your post only proves that 5G and Microwave oven frequencies are very close, and could conceivably be the same.

2.5 falls within the range of .7-39.

But the exact frequency does not matter. And the closer someone is to a transmission source then the more effected they will be.

And the sad thing is that this mass connection to a digital stream does not improve the condition of the human race. It is quite destructive actually. To both the physical and spiritual condition of humanity. We were much better off in the past.

Sigh.

Science matters.

Power is inversely proportional to the square of the distance and 4G/5G signals are really quite low power, whereas other RF emitters ubiquitous to the human experience are far higher powered- like hair dryers and fluorescent lights.

The 5G network is not an ionizing radiation problem, period.
