content: A couple of months ago, this was in the conspiracy theory newspaper which I get. I thought I'd put it here on the forum to complement the funny anti-5G leaflet I posted a while back.I rather like the quote:I cannot go into the garden for more than 10 to 15 minutes, even while wearing a full protective suit made of anti-5G fabric.I wonder what 'anti-5G fabric' is?

content: "The Light is an independently distributed truthpaper, exposing corruption and crimes by governments, corporations and individuals."Why even bring that garbage here?It is not dodgy technology, it is just a low grade tabloid for idiots. And it looks like they are out of business already.

content: It's not even low grade tabloid, it's a conspiracy nutjob rag from the front to back page that's been made to look like a newspaper, every page will have some utter nonsense, anti-vax, 5g, flat earth, BS and the adverts are all for nonsense 'therapies' or 'anti' whatever garbage the nutters have come up with now.The most disconcerttng bit?It's funded by nutters buying a pile of them to distribute and/or sell on so one of your neighbours is a wackjob.

Just look at all the drones walking around glued to their phones and thinking that anything they see in there is for realLOL, I'm outta the loop, what's the latest SCOTUS drama?

content: I wonder why he has no problems with visible light, which has an even higher frequency of 480 up to 750 THz. Another strange thing is that he claims to be electro sensitive, not electromagnetic sensitive. Shouldn't he have only issues with electric fields, like from mains wiring?

content: It does rather astound me that visible light being the same kind of radiation is not more widely stated as proof this is always nonsense. Unfortunately we don't do proper education anymore so people will ever more grow up primed to fall for these things.

content: There are several FOI requests to Birmingham council over details of 5g street lights, or new LED lights with 5g antennas attached. In June 2021 they stated no such streetlights had been installed, not were any permissions granted.But I guess them not being there won't stop these people...

content: Maybe a picocell would fit a street light, but the large number of picocells required and all the wiring are more expensive than a regular base station. And a street light with metal enclosure isn't the best spot to put an antenna in. Neither is the low height helpful.

content: In many cases (especially for small business) the cameras are picked to be the cheapest possible. You need any cameras to get insurance, but there is no need for costly good quality ones. The police does not do anything in most cases for the business when it gets robbed, so even 8K cameras would do absolutely nothing to catch the criminals. The goal of the footage is to file the insurance claim, and identity of the robbers is irrelevant.You only see shitty footage where the police investigates a death or something serious like this that happened outside. And the footage they get is from those cameras installed by the business to get the insurance.If the cameras helped the people that have to install and maintain them, you'd see a huge improvement in quality.

Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

content: Quote from: Simon on June 26, 2022, 08:24:18 pmThere is so much information hidden in an 8bit VGA picture, you just have to have the right software to uncover it! But you have to be the F-B-I to get your hands on this piece of software, unfortunately.(Honestly, every 100 USD smartphone gives you nice and sharp pictures, with dozens of megapixels. But in every security relevant installation, they did chose to use 1990s Vtech kiddy cameras plus extra "unsharp" optics with built-in "smear effect", set to maximum compression. I wonder if that is done intentionally.)
