Weaponised Street Lights

[steve30]

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?

[ataradov]

"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.

[CJay]

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.

Eek, you're not paying for that are you?

What does the front page look like?
Who's the publisher?
Do people pay for ad space in that nonsense paper?

[AndyBeez]

I wonder if those retarded judges who sit on the US Supreme Court have not only read this piece of shite but also consider every shite word as "credible evidence"?

[magic]

It may not be precisely true, but it's true. 5G causes irreversible brain damage by exposing its users to the Internet. Just look at all the drones walking around glued to their phones and thinking that anything they see in there is for real

LOL, I'm outta the loop, what's the latest SCOTUS drama?

they overturned the 50 year old ruling on Roe v. Wade so the individual states can (and have) now ban abortion, since everyone with money can just go to a blue state it will only affect one kind of people, the poor ...

[Halcyon]

Those birds will do more damage than those "weaponised" street lights.

[madires]

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?

[Simon]

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.

[jc101]

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...

[madires]

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.

[AVGresponding]

In any case, the RF tech of various types being fitted to streetlights is for nothing more than being able to switch them remotely, and see when there's a fault.

that is the logical assumption most of us would make..... but some people.... they just have to guild the lily.

Yes pigeons aren’t real!

[SiliconWizard]

What about all those surveillance cameras?

[bd139]

Based on our local conviction rate those aren’t real either 

[CJay]

The surveillance cameras are fully employed watching to see who's not picking up their dog's sh**e instead of dealing with crime, surely you don't expect the CCTV to be used for things Mavis and Derek don't write to their councillors about?

[bd139]

I have to wade in dog shit up to my ankles around here so I’m not sure that’s true.

[SiliconWizard]

CJay said they were watching who's not picking up the shit, not that they were doing anything about it either.

People identified not doing what they should, with sophisticated AI, they will probably end up losing social credit points, and that, my friend, is scarier than getting a fine.

[Simon]

I am yet to see any CCTV footage that is of any use, I just have to cringe when I see an appeal for anyone who knows a guy that is either in a hoodie so unrecognisable or has a very strange type of face anyone should recognise in a heartbeat as there cannot be that many people around whose faces look like 4 squares of roughly the same colour.

[bd139]

Perhaps we need 5k security cameras 

[SiliconWizard]

https://www.arksysinc.com/blog/its-time-to-consider-the-power-of-8k-for-your-security-cameras/

[ataradov]

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.

[Simon]

Perhaps we need 5k security cameras 

no no, 16k at least, then that tiny cropped peice might actually be useful

[bd139]

No we can just CSI the problem away

Oh crap, yea totally. I always have to chuckle when I see those silly enhancements in films that are totally impossible. That's the highest I have ever seen though on the make belief scale.

visible light

Horrible stuff,disturbs your sleep,causes headaches and migraines,and to much exposure to the  natural stuff causes the skin to burn and leads to cancer.Why its never been banned i'll never know

Well now you come to mention it, I mean look at dihydrogen monoxide, how the hell is that awful stuff still allowed in circulation:

Dihydrogen monoxide:

is also known as hydroxyl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
contributes to the "greenhouse effect".
may cause severe burns.
contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.
Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

as an industrial solvent and coolant.
in nuclear power plants.
in the production of styrofoam.
as a fire retardant.
in many forms of cruel animal research.
in the distribution of pesticides. Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.
as an additive in certain "junk-foods" and other food products.

There 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.)

No, I get it for free from some people in the city centre who give it out. I consider it to be the same as any other self published paper/website/book; it has some good stuff and some crap.

It does indeed have adverts, including a firm who sell EMF protection clothing  .

I have often wondered that myself.

I mean, we have the tech for uber security cams.

I got bored and never found out what his trick was.

Here's another gem for you then:

I think that was pun intended....

How can you be poor in a country that dishes out so much welfare that people literally risk their lives to enter it by any means and receive welfare that they can live on.
Similarly, people simply give their babies to the state if they can't abort.
This comment reminds me of the cries for help from some twitter users that they couldn't afford diabetes medication in America.
When you actually look at the details it turns out that America in the majority of states actually provides diabetes medication for free to the unemployed.
They force you to pay for it at the full price once you reach a certain income level.
It is cheaper in other countries NOT because they can produce it at a lower price, but because it is subsidized by the state.
In Germany everybody ( no matter your income ) gets standard diabetes meds for free in most cases or at a heavily subsidized price.
It seems that the more a country caters to peoples every whim and needs, the more they complain about their life as if they are hunter gatherers living in a cave ten thousand years ago.
