When we speak, the effect is powerful and helps others realize truth. The video clip you just watched demonstrates this.
We
absolutely must make all elected
officials aware of the 5G problem. That it damages our health, our
privacy, our rule of law, and our children's ability to have a free
future.
The 5G problem needs to be a main talking point of the U.S. presidential election -- and all elections from now on.
Remember, they work for us.
In
this newsletter we're providing tools to help you effectively reach
your elected reps. Let them know they're accountable and liable to
prevent harm, then provide direction and leadership to them, with
resources to help them
implement solutions to the 5G problem.

As
community leaders around the world are advancing 5G awareness and
accountability-related actions, we will be zeroing in on the most
effective strategies. Much of our
work in 2020 will be devoted to this.
In the meantime, here are some three useful resources in the battle to redirect 5G toward safe technology.

In
January, an article I'd reposted 5 years ago went completely viral on
TBYP, with over 500,000 views and 181k social shares. I feel this is
truly indicative of what we the people are ready to demand:
accountability from elected officials. People are waking up, with
feelings like this:
"Elected
reps, we've had enough. We are going to educate you on the problem, and
invite you to be part of the solution. You will need to find your
courage, just like us. We can do it together. But if you choose not to
show up, we will hold you accountable for being complicit with the
crimes that are stealing our lives."
Here's the article, fyi:

US District Judge Alsup Laments 'Dumb' FCC In IPhone Radiation Suit
Law360, San Francisco (February 6, 2020, 6:34 PM EST) -- U.S. District Judge William Alsup said Thursday he's inclined to let a jury decide whether Apple
fraudulently marketed iPhones as safe and exposed consumers to excessive radiofrequency radiation, slamming Apple’s reading of an FCC testing standard as a "terrible rule" and expressing disbelief that the agency "would be that dumb" saying he doesn’t think the agency would issue such "a terrible
rule."
Apple
Inc. urged Judge Alsup at a hearing in San Francisco to dismiss a
proposed class action alleging that it deceives consumers by marketing
its phones for use on a person's body despite radiofrequency radiation
of the phones exceeding federal limits if used in that manner.
But Judge Alsup leaned away from dismissing the case and expressed his bewilderment as to why the Federal Communications Commission with Apple’s explanation that the Federal Communications Commission
would allow testing for cellphone radiofrequency radiation emissions to
be done anywhere between 0 millimeters and 25 millimeters away from the
body.
The
judge said he couldn't believe that the federal agency's guidelines
truly allowed for such vast variability when it comes to the tests.
"I can't believe the FCC would be that dumb. That's a terrible rule," Judge Alsup said Thursday in
describing Apple’s characterization of the rule. "I can’t believe it can be manipulated like that."
But
Apple's counsel argued that the proposed class action, filed in August,
is preempted and that plaintiffs must take their issue up with the FCC
directly.
The
plaintiffs claim Apple fraudulently misrepresents and conceals that
consumers who use its iPhones as marketed will be exposed to
radiofrequency radiation levels exceeding the federal Specific
Absorption Rate limit of 1.6 watts per kilogram and the risks of that
exposure.
Plaintiffs
say recent independent tests done by FCC-accredited labs have shown
that iPhones exceeded federal
limits for radiofrequency radiation emissions when used in close
proximity to the body and that because the FCC doesn't regulate Apple's
disclosures to consumers, plaintiffs' claims are not preempted.
"Apple's
failure to tell consumers that, when used in everyday ways, the
smartphones exceed federal safety limits is deceptive," plaintiffs'
co-counsel Elizabeth A. Fegan of Fegan Scott LLP told Law360 on
Thursday.
Plaintiffs
allege that based on Apple's misrepresentations, millions of people
purchase their smartphones, carry them around all day
and use them up against their skin, without being made aware of the
health risks. Plaintiffs initially named Samsung as a defendant but
voluntarily dismissed that company from their suit last month.
On
Thursday, co-counsel for Apple told Judge Alsup that as recently as
December the FCC had retested the phones and found them to be in
compliance.
"The very same phones that plaintiff tested, the FCC found in compliance?" Judge Alsup said, clearly perplexed.
"Yes," said Apple's co-counsel.
"How could it possibly be that two certified labs can come to different results?" Judge Alsup said.
Apple's
co-counsel chalked up the different results to plaintiffs
"cherry-picking," saying the plaintiffs are carrying out their own
tests, at different proximities from the body.
Allowing the case to move forward, Apple argued, would wreak havoc on a system that has been in place for decades.
But Judge Alsup appeared to be unconvinced by Apple's argument.
"I'm inclined to say let's find out and have a jury decide," Judge Alsup said.
Judge
Alsup said he might even allow for a laboratory to be set up inside his
courtroom with independent experts brought in to oversee the tests.
Judge Alsup took Apple's motion to dismiss under submission and scheduled a trial for July 2021.
Representatives for Apple did not immediately respond to requests for comment Thursday.
Plaintiffs are represented by Elizabeth A. Fegan of Fegan Scott LLC and Jennie Lee Anderson of Andrus Anderson LLP.
Apple is represented by Jonathan S. Tam, Amisha Rajni Patel, Mark S. Cheffo and Christina Guerola Sarchio of Dechert LLP.
The
case is Cohen et al. v. Apple Inc. et al., case number 3:19-cv-05322,
in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
--Editing by Orlando Lorenzo.
Correction:
An earlier version of this story mischaracterized Judge Alsup’s
comments about the FCC’s testing standard. The story has been corrected
to reflect that the judge was characterizing Apple’s proposed reading of
the FCC standard, and not the standard itself.
Update: The story has been updated to include additional counsel information.
