5G Global Day of Action – Sept 26, 2020 – Vancouver Island Events

6 Replies

The Annual Global Day of Protest against 5G (Fifth Generation cellular networks) is coming up this Saturday, September 26, 2020. Two events are planned for Vancouver Island on the day: one in Victoria, BC,  and one in Qualicum Beach, BC.

Victoria, BC: From 1:00-2:00 pm gather at the ISED (formerly Industry Canada) office, 1230 Government St.  Bring signs and posters, and remember social distancing and masks.  We will picket on the sidewalk outside this office.  Make signs that have some info about higher energy use, capturing data for Internet of Things, cybersecurity hazard, as well as health issues. Hopefully, we will be able to share some of our information with people new to the topic.  Please spend just an hour of your time to protest publicly against 5G and ISED’s failure to ensure our safety, privacy and environment.

Qualicum Beach, BC: From 12:30-2:30 pm gather at the site of the proposed cell tower on Village Way at Old Island Highway. Open mike at 1:00 pm. We are following Covid-19 protocols. Masks are appreciated, and required if you wish to use the microphone. Meters will be demonstrated, and volunteers will be available to answer questions you may have.

Below is the Qualicum Beach rally site – an area that will be lost if the cell tower is installed:

Here are examples of USEFUL signs to make and bring – signs that address the health issues associated with 5G as well as cybersecurity risks, higher energy consumption. data mining. For a clickable link to get to these signs individually, go here: https://www.5gcrisis.com/signs

Personal message from website owner, Kim Goldberg: There are MANY legitimate reasons to raise concerns about the roll-out of 5G – the most basic of which is that the Precautionary Principle is not being observed. We do NOT have data confirming that these exposures are safe, and there is a considerable body of evidence suggesting it may not be safe.

Apart from human health and safety risks, there is the impact to wildlife, environment, forests, honeybees, whales–all of which have shown signs of significant damage from wireless radiation.

And then there are the very legitimate cybersecurity concerns (hacking, potential shut-downs of hospitals, governments, entire population centres). As well as the vast data collection on individuals that is occurring already and that will become even more possible and more comprehensive with the advent of 5G cellular networks and the Internet of Things.

My point is that it is not necessary at all to go down the QAnon rabbit hole of endless Youtube videos and conspiracy theories in order to make a legitimate case against the roll-out of 5G. In fact, you are very much hurting the valid case against 5G by floating the right-wing conspiracy theories conjoining 5G to cabals and micro-chipping and pedophiles and Covid-19 and Deep State and what-not. All of that is the carefully crafted pro-Trump QAnon agenda. And many 5G opponents are completely unaware that they are unwitting dupes of that agenda as they go around promoting it. This results in a total loss of credibility for the legitimate science-based opposition to 5G.

The message to keep coming back to, in order to anchor yourself and your activist work is:

Follow the Precautionary Principle where all wireless radiation technology is concerned.

Poem: Ground Path

1 Reply

In recognition of today being a Global Day of Action to raise awareness about risks of 5G cellular technology, I am sharing one of my electro-aware poems from my new book Devolution, released last month by Caitlin Press.

People who are severely electrosensitive often need to sleep in their concrete basement (if they are lucky enough to have one) in order to get any relief. Walking barefoot on wet grass can also mitigate the effects by discharging the electromagnetic radiation built up in the body to ground. Many electrosensitive people I have interviewed have described these techniques to me, and I have tried them myself.

Radiation Exploration, by Mildred Thompson, 1994

GROUND PATH

Gently, gently, at first I was afraid of wasps by day and slugs by night—the wet kiss of soft flesh spread wide in long grass. My slow hunt for wasps by day and slugs by night in this world gone wild beyond the breakers.

In long grass, my slow hunt for a life without shoes, cellphones, wifi. The world’s gone wild beyond the breakers in my basement. I am safe down here in a life without shoes, cellphones, wifi. I count microwatts to fall asleep each night in my basement.

I am safe down here but I can’t remember the reason I count microwatts to fall asleep each night as I thread my dreamy path into the planet. I can’t remember the reason we stitched our lives with frequencies as I thread my dreamy path into the planet and tie the knot with my bare feet. We stitched our lives with frequencies—the wet kiss of soft flesh spread wide as you tie my knot with your bare feet. Gently, gently. At first I was afraid.
