When it comes to 5G mobile technology, the question increasingly arises: Where is the critical journalism? Why doesn’t any media question what the telecommunications companies are telling them and what scientists are questioning?
Under the title “Panic video against the 5G network”, the Aargauer Zeitung (AZ) published a report on Wednesday, February 6, about an alleged video by cult guru Ivo Sasek against the planned 5G mobile network. It is interesting to see how the expansion of the 5G mobile network is journalistically accompanied in the AZ. Either you make use of such curious reports with questionable information content – or you publish completely uncritically what Swisscom & Co. put in front of you. As seen, for example, in the AZ February 8, in which Swisscom explains why the new mobile network is needed at all. There is also a double-page advertisement from Swisscom in the same issue – on the same topic. How practical.
Reflexively placed in the corner of conspiracy theorists
But where is the critical journalistic perspective here? Has the AZ editorial team never heard that 237 EMF scientists from 41 nations have signed an international appeal? It calls on the UN, and the WHO in particular, to use its strong leadership to promote the development of more protective EMF guidelines, support precautionary measures and educate the public about the serious health risks of mobile radiation, especially the risks to children and fetal development? And has the AZ ever spoken to the world-renowned Swiss scientist Niels Kuster, head of the Research Foundation for Information Technology and Society (IT’IS)? In a new paper, he warns that permanent tissue damage could occur even after a short exposure time to 5G. There are many other exciting studies and voices. Instead of reporting critically and objectively on this topic, however, the AZ prefers to be inspired by the media communiqués of the mobile phone providers and reflexively places those who dare to raise their voice against the overpowering mobile phone industry and question topics such as 5G in the corner of conspiracy theorists.
“Digital progress trap”
With the new 5G standard, wireless technologies will soon permeate all of our public and private living spaces. Are our health and environment sufficiently protected? According to a report by the Competence Initiative, a public debate on the serious risks is beginning in Germany on the initiative of scientists, doctors and citizens. Kathrin Zinkant, Süddeutsche Zeitung, tends to work with the Federal Office for Radiation Protection to promote confidence in the new technology. Florian Schumann in Die Zeit: “It’s an experiment”. Harald Schumann and Elisa Simantke report in the Tagesspiegel on the current status of international risk research and European mobile communications policy. Werner Thiede speaks of a “digital progress trap”: “Mobile phone technology is suspected of being harmful to health. But governments are unwaveringly promoting its expansion … The planned Europe-wide expansion of the fifth-generation mobile network (5G) poses major economic and technical risks and is meeting with considerable resistance from the population in some EU countries …”
Parents and children caught in the cell phone trap?
The risky and barely researched application of 5G technology is one thing. The irresponsible and uncritical use of smartphones is another. Each and every one of us has a role to play here. Anyone reading the following report, published on pressetext.ch, will inevitably ask themselves: Are parents still fulfilling their duty to educate and supervise? Or have you already fallen into the cell phone trap yourself? According to the report, children spend twice as much time on their smartphones as talking to their parents. This is the conclusion of a recent survey by the British company CensusWide http://censuswide.com, which was commissioned by the audio streaming service provider ROXI http://roximusicsystem.com. In total, children spend around three hours and 18 minutes a day on their personal devices. Conversations with parents only take one hour and 43 minutes.
Cell phone as an occupation
Another result of the British study is that 54 percent of parents surveyed are concerned about the use of smartphones, tablets and the like. Two thirds would also like to spend more time with their family. However, there is a contradiction here: two out of five study participants admit to having equipped the adolescents with a smartphone for employment reasons. In terms of usage time, London is an absolute frontrunner: here, children spend four hours and 42 minutes a day using gadgets. The equivalent is South East England and Wales at two hours and 36 minutes. Dame Sally Davies, Chief Medical Officer for England, recommends removing smartphones from adolescents’ sleeping and eating areas. She also advocates limits, for example after two hours of use.
Respecting boundaries is important
It is also important for parents to be responsible and set an example with regard to Internet use. Photos of children should never be published on social networks without their consent. Experts also warn of the addictive potential of social media platforms, which should be curbed. “However, time online can also have a positive effect in terms of developing certain skills and gaining information,” comments Dame Sally Davies on the positive aspects of smartphone use.
5G forces people to take responsibility
Richard Neubersch, owner of Swiss Harmony , describes in the following video what will change with 5G and that each individual should ensure protection for themselves and their family. How can you protect yourself and your children from high-frequency radiation and electrosmog? “The law of resonance states that no resonances can occur in an oscillation field with oscillations whose frequencies lie outside those of the field,” says Richard Neubersch, owner of Swiss Harmony in Grellingen, a company that specializes in the harmonization of electrosmog. In other words: In a harmonic oscillation field, artificial radiation has no effect, regardless of who generates it, whether it comes from a neighbor or a nearby mobile phone mast. The mobile products from Swiss Harmony (BioRing, BodyCard, BioBracelet and the BioPatch) harmonize the human body by transmitting the harmonic vibration as information to the human energy system. This means that artificially created radiation fields can no longer resonate.
Protection from harmful radiation
In concrete terms, this means Products from Swiss Harmony for harmonizing houses and apartments ensure that the electricity that supplies a building with electricity receives a different message. “They transfer the information of the visible light spectrum to the passing current via the resonance path, which in turn distributes it throughout the entire effective range of the circuit,” explains Richard Neubersch. The electromagnetic field of the apartment or house thus becomes a harmonious field. In-house WLAN transmitters, cell phones or cordless phones are interference-free because they are connected to the harmonic current field and therefore emit the same harmonic information.
