Phone towers maiming people with EMF radiation. New 5G network will kill

Warning against rolling out more towers especially 5G

What inconvenient truth led a highly-regarded radiation expert to take the law into his own hands and demolish six mobile phone stations? As he faces sentencing this month, John Patterson talks to EMR and Health about the story behind the news.

John Patterson is a pleasant, considerate and well-mannered man with an easy smile and a wicked sense of humour. He is also one of Australia’s leading radiation experts—a man who has been at the cutting edge of communications technology for the past 33 years.

Yet on 14 July 2007 John Patterson broke into a truck yard, ‘borrowed’ a former British army tank and proceeded to systematically demolish six mobile phone base station in the Sydney suburb of Mt Druit, before his vehicle stalled at the site of the seventh base station and he surrendered to police.

Why did he do it?

According to John, mobile phones and their base stations pose a devastating risk to human life, to nature and to the planet that supports it.

Background and experience

John’s unwelcome conclusion is one that he is, unfortunately, extremely well-qualified to make.

John is one of Australia’s leading radiation experts—a man who has been at the forefront of technology for more than three decades; a man with a passion for electronics.

A telecommunications engineer, John has worked with every communications technology there is. Employed by the Overseas Telecommunications Commission (OTC), Telecom and Telstra, he built, tested and commissioned communications systems and completed over 54 engineering courses in order to keep up to date with the newest technologies. John was one of Australia’s leading radiation measurers, a trouble-shooter and the man who found the solutions to the toughest problems.

As early as 1978 OTC trained John in ‘radiation awareness’ and advised him to keep a diary of his experiences with the cutting edge radiation-emitting technology with which he worked. At that stage, no one knew what the effects would be.

All too soon John was to find out.

Health problems

As his career progressed, John became a very sick man. ‘The more I was exposed to, the sicker I became,’ he said. The crunch came after two mobile phone base stations were installed—one on either side of his workplace. By that stage, John was having regular heart attacks which continued for four years.

In his impeccably-maintained diaries, John detailed the health effects that he observed in himself and other workers, many of whom later died. ‘Telecom had a very high number of suicides,’ he recalls.

The symptoms he observed, in order of occurrence, included:

• short-term memory loss (including momentary lapses)
• long-term memory loss
• involuntary contraction of muscles and tendons
• sleeplessness
• chronic fatigue
• problems with balance—at first walking, then riding
• sore neck muscles
• jaw out of alignment
• vertebrae in shoulders and bottom four vertebrae out of alignment—caused by cramping of muscles
• misco-ordination between eye and muscles
• reduction in elasticity in body, especially throat, resulting in a ‘choking’ effect when swallowing
• thyroid problems
• heart problems (including heart attacks)
• stomach valve not opening properly, leading to heart burn and nausea
• changes to gait
• numbing of the skin
• black rings around the iris
• kidney problems
• liver problems—leading to skin problems, rashes and pimples that don’t heal. (John saw at least 1000 workers with similar skin problems.)
• inappropriate emotional responses.

The concern for John is that the symptoms he once saw only in exposed workers, he’s now seeing in members of the public—including very young children.

Mobile phone radiation

John Patterson does not own a mobile phone—nor do many people who’ve spent time talking with him. However, he does own an impressive array of technical equipment with which he is able to measure the effects of this and similar technologies, which puts him in a strong position to offer advice.

Mobile phone technology uses a combination of frequencies that John was taught were too dangerous to be used together. It was designed to create new channels for interstate communications and undersea cables, says John.

‘It was never meant to be sprayed out in a circle.’

As early as 1978 John was warned by OTC that it could take four days to recover from one exposure to digital radio waves. Yet consider the number and frequency of exposures one commonly receives today!

Analogue phones affect only part of the body, he says, but digital phone signals affect the whole body.

According to John, mobile phone signals diminish the ability of pharmaceuticals to work and they carry disease.

For people wanting to know whether mobile phone radiation is affecting them, John suggests two quick tests:

‘When you are in a room with a mobile phone, walk outside and notice the change’. This is radio awareness which John was taught in the 1970s by OTC.

Try adding a list of numbers (or, if you are able, translating a document from one language to another). Notice what happens to your concentration when the mobile phone is switched on and signalling. Read the rest of this entry →
