Opposition to the 5G (Fifth Generation) wireless technology rollout isn’t just occuring in Wisconsin or the United States. Across the world, citizens, organizations and governments are pushing back, posing challenges for the telecom industry.

This article by Claire Edwards highlights 120 actions against 5G/wireless technology: “5G Cell Phone Radiation: How the Telecom Companies Are Losing the Battle to Impose 5G Against the Will of the People.”

The reckless 5G expansion has not been smooth sailing for Big Telecom. Below is just a small sampling of the pushback:

Austria

After 5G is officially switched on in Vienna in November 2018, former UN staff member reports Vienna’s first EMF injuries.

United Nations

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson describes the Internet of Things, “smart” cities and AI as a giant, dark thundercloud lowering oppressively over the human race, threatening a cold and heartless future in an Orwellian world designed for censorship, repression and control.

United States

Congresswomen Eshoo and Speier introduce Bill HR530 to block FCC cell tower pre-emption and preserve local government control and invalidate the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) 26 September 2018 ruling to accelerate the deployment of 5G small cells throughout the US.

Germany

54,600 Germans sign a petition to force the German Bundestag to debate 5G.

Russia

Oleg Gregoriev, Chairman of the Russian National Committee on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection, states that “5G may be like a slow Hiroshima”.

Cyprus

The Parliamentary Committees on Health and Environment in Cyprus hold discussions on the negative aspects of 5G. Proposals are put forward to freeze 5G deployment and keep Cyprus radiation-free as a detoxing zone attractive for tourism.

Kuwait

The Kuwait Times publishes an article on the threats to health from 5G technology, saying “RF-EMF exposure and health outcomes. In the meantime, they recommend that cell towers should be distanced from homes, daycare centers, schools, and places frequented by pregnant women, men who wish to father healthy children, and the young”.

Italy

Italian parliament to vote on 7 October for a moratorium to stop the 5G rollout throughout Italy. The text proposes that the government should suspend any form of technological experimentation of 5G in Italian cities, pending the production of sufficient scientific evidence to judge its harmlessness.

Belgium

Belgian Environment Minister announces that Brussels is halting the 5G rollout, saying, “The people of Brussels are not guinea pigs whose health I can sell at a profit.”

Swiss Re

Insurance company Swiss Re’ report on New Emerging Risk Insights states that “Existing concerns regarding potential negative health effects from electromagnetic fields (EMF) are only likely to increase. An uptick in liability claims could be a potential long-term consequence. … interruption and subversion of the 5G platform could trigger catastrophic, cumulative damage.”
