5G NETWORK & MILITARY CROWD CONTROL WEAPONS , SAME FREQUENCY. SAME GOAL?

Today’s cellular and Wi-Fi networks rely on microwaves – a type of electromagnetic radiation utilizing frequencies up to 6 gigahertz (GHz) in order to wirelessly transmit voice or data.
However, 5 G applications will require unlocking of new spectrum bands in higher frequency ranges above 6 GHz to 100 GHz and beyond, utilizing submillimeter and millimeter waves – to allow ultra-high rates of data to be transmitted in the same amount of time as compared with previous deployments of microwave radiation.

CELLPHONES, LIKE THE INTERNET, WERE DEVELOPED FOR THE MILITARY.
WHAT COULD GO WRONG, RIGHT?

MORE EXTENSIVELY THAN INTO AN ADULT'S.
THE YELLOW AREA IS HARDEST HIT, THEN THE RED.

In May 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) evaluated cancer risks from radiofrequency (RF) radiation.

Human epidemiological studies gave evidence of increased risk for glioma and acoustic neuroma.
RF radiation was classified as Group 2B, a possible human carcinogen.

Further epidemiological, animal and mechanistic studies have strengthened this association.

In spite of this, in most countries little or nothing has been done to reduce exposure and educate people on health hazards from RF radiation.
On the contrary, ambient levels have increased.

Without long-term testing, without giving Americans both sides of the picture, Verizon just announced that 5G networks will be tested in 11 U.S. cities.

AT&T recently added to its plans on the launch of commercial 5G services in the US by identifying three additional cities in which it will deploy a standards-based mobile service by the end of the year. The cities are Charlotte and Raleigh, N.C., and Oklahoma City, reports rcrwireless.com.
In 2016, AT&T began testing in Austin, Texas, and expanded testing to Waco, Texas.

Verizon planned to launch in Sacramento and Los Angeles, California.

Sprint is planning to launch in the first half of 2019 and has listed New York, Phoenix, Kansas City, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington as target markets.

These 5G networks will involve the deployment of millions of antennas nationwide, thousands in each city, because 5G's millimeter waves cannot easily travel through buildings or other obstacles.

Proposed installations have led to public outcry in residential areas where homeowners do not want antennas mounted in their yards or near schools.

Several researchers have raised concerns that current regulations are not adequate to protect public health.

“There is an urgent need to evaluate 5G health effects now before millions are exposed…. We need to know if 5G increases the risk of skin diseases such as melanoma or other skin cancers,” stated Ron Melnick, a National Institutes of Health scientist, now retired, who led the design of the National Toxicology Program study on cell phone radio frequency radiation.

WHY THE CONCERN?

PERHAPS OF SECONDARY CONCERN (CANCER BEING PRIMARY) IS THE FACT THAT 5G IS IN THE WAVELENGTH USED BY MILITARY AND LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR CROWD CONTROL.

WHO WANTS TO BE CONTROLLED?


OTHER HARMFUL EFFECTS

EMFs (electromagnetic frequencies) are likely to contribute to neurological and neuropsychiatric problems, heart and reproductive problems, including but not limited to cardiac arrhythmias, anxiety, depression, autism, Alzheimer's and infertility.

"Repeated Wi-Fi studies show that Wi-Fi causes oxidative stress, sperm/testicular damage, neuropsychiatric effects including EEG changes, apoptosis, cellular DNA damage, endocrine changes, and calcium overload.
Excessive calcium signaling produced by EMF exposures also has important roles in producing pathophysiological effects of EMFs, including each of the effects listed above.

For the past 25 years, the industry has claimed that non-ionizing radiation is harmless and that the only radiation worth worrying about is ionizing radiation.

This paper is not focused on anecdotal reports but rather on 23 controlled, scientific studies of such health-related effects in animals, cells including human cells in culture and in human beings."

THAT EMFs ARE HARMLESS IS A LIE.

Over the past 14 years a series of epidemiological studies have found that low level electromagnetic fields [even as low as 1 μT (1 micro Tesla) produced by 60 Hz power lines can be correlated with increased incidence of certain diseases.

The correlation is strongest for those who have lived or worked in this environment for many years. For example, an increased risk of cancer has been found among children who lived for several years close to power distribution lines

Jr., "Increased Mortality in Amateur radio Operators Due to Lymphatic and Hematopoietic Malignancies," AM. J. EPIDEMIOLOGY, 128, 1175-1176 (1988).]

The research indicates that children from high electromagnetic field exposure homes have a 50 percent greater risk of developing cancer, particularly leukemia, lymphomas, and nervous system tumors.
Other data also show that men working in electrical jobs, such as electricians and telephone lineman are at higher risk for brain tumors and other cancers.

In a recent study in the Los Angeles area, S. Preston-Martin and collaborators at the University of Southern California found that men who had worked for 10 Years or more in a variety of electrical occupations had a ten times greater chance of getting brain tumors than men in the control group.

AN ENVIRONMENTAL GROUP FROM NEW ZEALAND MINCED NO WORDS WHEN CONDEMNING THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO) FOR ITS ONE-SIDEDNESS AND FOOT-DRAGGING FAILURE TO HONESTLY ASSESS AND WARN PEOPLE OF THE HAZARDS OF THE 5G NETWORK AND ELECTROMAGNETIC FREQUENCIES (EMF) IN GENERAL:

"The WHO EMF Project, by itself, has no expertise whatsoever to evaluate biological and health effects of RF-EMF.
In everything that WHO EMF Project does the dominating role plays ICNIRP. In fact, it looks that the whole WHO EMF Project is a “front” organization for implementing of the opinions of ICNIRP members.

ICNIRP is a “private club”-like organization where current members select new members, based on their standing in the research arena and on their opinions on biological and health effects of EMF. This “self-selection” process led to a very “unhealthy” situation where all ICNIRP members have the same scientific opinion on the biological and health effects of EMF.

This is a clear-cut conflict-of-interest situation when the members of ICNIRP, while evaluating scientific evidence, may give preferential “treatment” to their own scientific opinions.

When there is nobody to contest these opinions with alternative explanations, because all ICNIRP members have similar opinions, the final opinion will be skewed and is likely to be scientifically biased.

As always, new technology will be implemented (5G) and any research into biological and health effects will be conducted post-factum, as it was done with 1G, 2G, 3G and 4G technologies. All this is “allowed” because in 1980s the US FDA permitted commercialization of the first mobile phones without health testing due to low-power exclusion rule…"

THEY AREN'T ALONE IN CALLING OUT THE ICNIRP.

157 scientists and medical doctors together with 86 non-governmental organizations (NGO’s) from all over the world are calling for more protective limits for exposure to radiofrequency radiation from wireless technologies.

In a joint statement, THE EMF CALL, they conclude that the ICNIRP guidelines are unscientific and do not protect against harmful health effects including cancer.

"The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) issued draft Guidelines on 11th July 2018 for limiting exposure to electric, magnetic and electromagnetic fields (EMF) (100 kHz to 300 GHz).
The guidelines are inadequate to protect humans and the environment, as they only protect against acute thermal effects from very short and intense exposure.
They do not protect against cancer, reproductive harm, or effects on the nervous system, although the preponderance of the peer-reviewed research has found adverse effects from chronic exposure at intensities below the ICNIRP limits.

In May, 2011, the World Health Organization’s cancer agency, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), concluded that radiofrequency radiation in the frequency range 30 kHz–300 GHz is a “possible” human carcinogen (Group 2B).

However, the ICNIRP ignores this as well as the increasing evidence in recent years for carcinogenicity."

I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO CONSIDER BELIEVING SOMETHING THAT VERY FEW OF YOU MAY WANT TO BELIEVE.

I BASE THIS REQUEST ON HUNDREDS OF PEER REVIEWED STUDIES, ON MY OWN 15+ YEARS OF RESEARCH, READING INCESSANTLY ON THE SUBJECT, DIGGING FOR FACTS, AND APPLYING COLD, HARD LOGIC.

I ASK YOU TO CONSIDER THIS MAINLY FOR THE SAKE OF CHILDREN.
FEW WILL READ PAST THIS PARAGRAPH.

WHY?

BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO CONSIDER FACTS IF THOSE FACTS ARE CONTRARY TO WHAT THEY CURRENTLY BELIEVE.

In “The Enigma of Reason,” a book by cognitive scientists Hugo Mercier and Dan Sperber, according to their theory of reasoning, reason’s primary strengths are justifying beliefs we already believe in and making arguments to convince others.

While this kind of reasoning helps us cooperate in a social environment, it does not make us particularly good at truth-seeking.

It also makes us fall prey to a number of cognitive biases, like confirmation bias, or the tendency to search for information that confirms what we already believe.

LEARNING, i.e., THE GETTING OF KNOWLEDGE, AS I HAVE SAID ON THIS BLOG FROM THE BEGINNING, REQUIRES US TO OPEN OUR MINDS TO THE POSSIBILITY OF FACTS WE MAY FIND DISTASTEFUL, FRIGHTENING OR SIMPLY UNBELIEVABLE. WE LEARN SO THAT WE DO NOT PERISH.

I LIKE "DOUBTING THOMASES", THOSE WHO QUESTION EVERYTHING. IT'S A FINE THING TO DO.

SO, FOR ALL WHO DO SO, TRY THIS FOR YOURSELVES...

DO A WEB SEARCH FOR THE PHRASE, "peer reviewed articles hazards of electromagnetic fields".
YOU MAY GET THE SAME RESULTS I DO: "About 18,500 results."

YOU WILL ALSO READ MANY "CONCLUSIONS" SIMILAR TO THE FOLLOWING WHICH JUST WILL NOT EITHER ABSOLUTELY CONFIRM OR ABSOLUTELY DENY THE RISKS TO HUMAN HEALTH CAUSED BY EMF.

"There is insufficient information on the biological and health effects of EMF exposure of human populations and experimental animals to provide a rigorous
basis for establishing safety factors over the whole frequency range and for all frequency modulations."
MAY I SUGGEST THAT "THERE IS INSUFFICIENT INFORMATION" BECAUSE THE INDUSTRY ITSELF DOESN'T WANT INFORMATION TO BE PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE.

WHY WOULD SUCH IMPORTANT INFORMATION BE WITHHELD, OR GO UNRESEARCHED?

MONEY, PROFITS.

A LOT OF $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.

In 2017, around 1.54 billion smartphones were sold worldwide.

In the United States alone, sales of smartphones are projected to be worth around $55.6 billion U.S. dollars.

The average person spends about $80 per month for their phone bill.

A typical smartphone, including equipment, usage bills and apps, costs EACH AMERICAN a staggering $75,000 over a lifetime.

Every 10 years, we can expect to pay $12,559 for the convenience of owning a cell phone.

IF SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH PROVED THAT THIS TECHNOLOGY COULD, PROBABLY WOULD, KILL US, THINK HOW MUCH MONEY WOULD BE LOST BY THOSE IN THE BUSINESS IF WE DECIDED TO NO LONGER USE THIS TECHNOLOGY.
THEIR  FINANCIAL LOSS WOULD BE ASTRONOMICAL!

NONE OF THE 'STUDIES' THAT STRADDLED THE FENCE ON HOW SAFE WIRELESS DEVICES ARE ADDRESS THE PROFITS MADE BY THOSE WHO SELL WIRELESS DEVICES, OR SELL MONTHLY PLANS, ERECT CELL TOWERS, BUILD NETWORKS, PROVIDE SATELLITES, OR DEVELOP NEW TECHNOLOGY EVERY YEAR.

IT ALSO DOESN'T ADDRESS THE ADVERTISING COSTS PAID BY OTHER COMPANIES WHO THROW ALL THOSE ADS AT US VIA THE NETWORKS.

KA-CHING, MY FRIENDS, IT'S A LOT OF LOOT!
REMEMBER HOW MANY DECADES WE WERE TOLD THAT LEAD PAINT AND PIPES, DDT, AGENT ORANGE, ASBESTOS AND CIGARETTES WERE PERFECTLY SAFE?

YEAH, IT'S LIKE THAT.

NO MEGA-CORPORATION WANTS TO GET HAULED INTO COURT BY MILLIONS OF CONSUMERS AND HAVE TO PAY DAMAGES ...AND LOSE AN ENTIRE INDUSTRY.

THE EVIDENCE IS THERE, BUT WE JUST DON'T 'READ ALL ABOUT IT' IN MAINSTREAM MEDIA BECAUSE SOME OF THEIR BIGGEST PAYING ADVERTISERS ARE CELL PHONE COMPANIES AND COMPANIES BUILT AROUND THAT.

THE DANGERS ARE TRULY REAL.
Lennart Hardell, Swedish oncologist with long-term research in this area stated:"The roll-out of 5G, the fifth generation of telecommunication technology will substantially increase exposure to radiofrequency radiation. Thus, in addition to the urgent need for new guidelines on current exposure a moratorium on the roll-out of 5G should be implemented."
The Appeal, which has been signed by more than 240 scientists who have published over 2,000 peer-reviewed papers on EMF and biology or health, calls for strengthening of EMF guidelines, especially to protect children and pregnant women.
For more information about the Appeal, see https://emfscientist.org.

IF YOU GO READ JUST A DOZEN OR SO OF THE STUDIES THAT HAVE MOST DEFINITELY FOUND LINKS BETWEEN CANCERS, HEART PROBLEMS, PSYCHOLOGICAL DISORDERS, MEMORY LOSS, BRAIN INJURY, FATIGUE, ETC, AND OUR WIRELESS DEVICES AND THE ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION THEY EMIT, YOU MAY SEE WHY WE NEED TO BE CONCERNED.

HERE'S THREE TO GET YOU STARTED.

1--"When theory and observation collide: Can non-ionizing radiation cause cancer?"
Magda Havas B.Sc., Ph.D.  
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.envpol.2016.
    
"There IS sufficient scientific evidence of cellular damage caused by NON-IONIZING RADIATION (NIR) well below thermal guidelines.

Free radicals CAN and DO cause cancer and non-ionizing radiation CAN and DOES increase free-radicals.

While IONIZING RADIATION (IR) directly damages DNA, NIR interferes with the oxidative repair mechanisms resulting in oxidative stress, damage to cellular components including DNA, and damage to cellular processes leading to cancer.

Furthermore, free-radical damage explains the increased cancer risks associated with mobile phone use, occupational exposure to NIR (ELF EMF and RFR), and residential exposure to power lines and RF transmitters including mobile phones, cell phone base stations, broadcast antennas, and radar installations."    

2--"Tumor promotion by exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields below exposure limits for humans"

-Tumor-promoting effects of RF-EMF exposed mice have been reported in 2010.

-We have replicated the study with higher numbers of mice per group.

-We could fully confirm the previous results, thus the effects are reproducible.

-Apparently, no clear dose–response relationship is evident.

-We hypothesize that metabolic changes are responsible for the effects observed.

Previously published results from a pilot study with carcinogen-treated mice, however, suggested tumor-promoting effects of RF-EMF (Tillmann et al., 2010). We have performed a replication study using higher numbers of animals per group and including two additional exposure levels (0 (sham), 0.04, 0.4 and 2 W/kg SAR).

We could confirm and extend the originally reported findings.

Numbers of tumors of the lungs and livers in exposed animals were significantly higher than in sham-exposed controls. In addition, lymphomas were also found to be significantly elevated by exposure.Our findings may help to understand the repeatedly reported increased incidences of brain tumors in heavy users of mobile phones."

3--ONE FINAL RECENT STUDY, BUT I COULD LIST HUNDREDS THAT DISAGREE WITH THOSE THAT STATE CELL PHONE USE, EMF, ETC, HAVE NO EFFECT ON HUMANS.

THIS ONE IS VERY CONVINCING.

The Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development (ABCD) study is following more than 11,000 9- and 10-year-olds at 21 sites throughout the United States.

The initial results were presented in December by study director Gaya Dowling, PhD, on CBS’ “60 Minutes.”

The interviews and data from the NIH (National Institute of Health) study have already revealed:

(1) MRIs found significant differences in the brains of some kids who use smartphones, tablets, and video games more than seven hours a day, including premature thinning of the cortex, the wrinkly outermost layer of the brain that processes information from the five senses.

(2) kids who spend more than two hours a day on screens got lower scores on thinking and language tests.

FROM CBS' 60 MINUTES:
The iPhone was introduced in 2007. Smartphones gained widespread usage among young people by 2012.

Jean Twenge says she was startled to find that in the four years that followed, the percentage of teens who reported drinking or having sex fell. But the percentage who said they were lonely or depressed spiked. It's possible other factors may have played a role, but Twenge says she wasn't able to identify any that correlated as closely as the growing popularity of the smartphone and social media.

Jean Twenge: It's not just the loneliness and depression from these surveys. It's also that ER visits for self harm like cutting have tripled among girls age 10 to 14.

Anderson Cooper: What are teens doing on their phones that could be connected to depression?

Jean Twenge: It could be anything. There's kind of two different schools of thought on this. That it's the specific things that teens are doing on their phones that's the problem. Or it could be just the sheer amount of time that they're spending on their phones that is the problem.

Dr. Dimitri Christakis at Seattle Children's Hospital was the lead author of the American Academy of Pediatrics' most recent guidelines for screen time. They now recommend parents, "avoid digital media use, except video chatting, in children younger than 18 to 24 months."

Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania found that college students who limited their screen time to less than 30 minutes a day were less lonely and depressed, even after just three weeks.

The American Academy of Pediatrics updated their media guidelines a couple years ago based on recent research. Their suggestions include:
For children under 18 months old, NO screen time.
For children 2 to 5 years old, less than one hour per day of high-quality programming is recommended, with parents watching along.

WE HAVE BECOME HUMAN GUINEA PIGS YET AGAIN, MUCH AS WE WERE DURING THE CREATION OF THE BOMB AND 'NUCLEAR ENERGY'.

YET AGAIN, THOSE CREATING THIS NEW 'MONSTER' KNOW IT'S HARMFUL TO HUMANS BUT ARE PUSHING IT INTO OUR LIVES ANYWAY.

WE HAVE NO VOICE IN THE MATTER...NOR DO OUR CHILDREN.

THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY IS ALL AROUND US ALREADY, BUT 5G IS MOVING INTO OUR BACK YARDS, UP CLOSE AND TOO PERSONAL. 
GIVEN HOW MISERABLY THE FDA HAS FAILED TO PROTECT US IN THE AST WHY WOULD WE TRUST THEM ON THIS?

Montgomery County, MD records show that the FDA previously rejected a provider’s request to place a cell tower near one of its (FDA's) locations due to concerns about the radiation’s adverse impacts upon the FDA’s testing of sensitive medical devices like pacemakers (pages 66 – 69).

Should we really trust the FDA’s decision to blow off PEER-REVIEWED research results when others say we shouldn’t:

National Toxicology Program Publishes Final Cell Phone Radiation Study Reports  

Cell Phone Radiation Leads to Cancer, Says U.S. NTP in Final Report  

Statement by Ronald Melnick PhD on the National Toxicology Program Final Reports on Cell Phone Radiation  

“Clear Evidence of Cancer” from Cell Phone Radiation: U.S. National Toxicology Program Releases Final Report on Animal Study  

Replicated research shows that Millimeter waves – used by the Department of Defense in crowd control weapons – interacts with human skin and eyes.   

Research studies presented at an international conference reveal that the same electromagnetic frequencies used for crowd control weapons form the foundation of the latest network – branded as 5G – that will tie together more than 50 billion devices as part of 'the Internet of Things'.
Current investigations of wireless frequencies in the millimeter and submillimeter range confirm that these waves interact directly with human skin, specifically the sweat glands (which act as antennas).

Scientists cautioned that before rolling out 5G technologies which use these frequencies, research on long-term human health effects needed to be done first to ensure the public and environment are protected. “If you are one of the millions who seek faster downloads of movies, games, etc, a solution is at hand, that is, if you do not mind volunteering your living body in a giant uncontrolled experiment on the human population. At this moment, residents of the Washington, DC region – like those of 100 Chinese cities – are about to be living within a vast experimental Millimeter wave network to which they have not consented – all courtesy of American taxpayers,” stated Dr. Devra Davis, President of the Environmental Health Trust.

Today’s cellular and Wi-Fi networks rely on microwaves – a type of electromagnetic radiation utilizing frequencies up to 6 gigahertz (GHz) in order to wirelessly transmit voice or data.

However, 5 G applications will require unlocking of new spectrum bands in higher frequency ranges above 6 GHz to 100 GHz and beyond, utilizing submillimeter and millimeter waves – to allow ultra-high rates of data to be transmitted in the same amount of time as compared with previous deployments of microwave radiation.

“Most people are unaware that these waves are cycling several billion times per second. 75 GHz is in fact 75,000,000,000 cycles per second,“ stated Davis about these frequencies rapidly penetrating the skin.

For years, the U.S., Russian and Chinese defense agencies have been developing weapons that rely on the capability of this SAME electromagnetic technology to induce unpleasant burning sensations on the skin as a form of crowd control.

Millimeter waves are utilized by the U.S. Army in crowd dispersal guns called Active Denial Systems (ADS)

Dr. Paul Ben-Ishai has pointed to research that was commissioned by the U.S. Army to find out why people ran away when the ADS beam touched them.

THEY HAD DONE SO LITTLE RESEARCH THAT EVEN THEY DIDN'T KNOW!
His research studies, presented at an international conference, reveal that the same electromagnetic frequencies used for crowd control weapons form the foundation of the latest network – branded as 5G – that will tie together more than 50 billion devices as part of the Internet of Things.

Current investigations of wireless frequencies in the millimeter and submillimeter range confirm that these waves interact directly with human skin, specifically the sweat glands.

Dr. Ben-Ishai of the Department of Physics, Hebrew University, Israel recently detailed how human sweat ducts act like an array of helical antennas when exposed to these wavelengths."

Scientists have long cautioned that before rolling out 5G technologies that use these frequencies, research on human health effects needed to be done first to ensure the public and environment are protected.
“There is an urgent need to evaluate 5G health effects now before millions are exposed…. We need to know if 5G increases the risk of skin diseases such as melanoma or other skin cancers,” stated Ron Melnick, the National Institutes of Health scientist, now retired, who led the design of the National Toxicology Program study on cell phone radiofrequency radiation.

THERE ARE MANY U.S. PATENTS FOR 'NERVOUS SYSTEM MANIPULATION' USING ELECTROMAGNETIC PULSES AND DIRECTIONAL WAVES THAT VERY FEW AMERICANS ARE AWARE OF.

Nervous system manipulation by electromagnetic fields from monitors. U.S. Patent # US 6506148 B2.

"Nervous system manipulation by electromagnetic fields from monitors

Abstract

Physiological effects have been observed in a human subject in response to stimulation of the skin with weak electromagnetic fields that are pulsed with certain frequencies near ½ Hz or 2.4 Hz, such as to excite a sensory resonance. Many computer monitors and TV tubes, when displaying pulsed images, emit pulsed electromagnetic fields of sufficient amplitudes to cause such excitation. It is therefore possible to manipulate the nervous system of a subject by pulsing images displayed on a nearby computer monitor or TV set. For the latter, the image pulsing may be embedded in the program material, or it may be overlaid by modulating a video stream, either as an RF signal or as a video signal. The image displayed on a computer monitor may be pulsed effectively by a simple computer program. For certain monitors, pulsed electromagnetic fields capable of exciting sensory resonances in nearby subjects may be generated even as the displayed images are pulsed with subliminal intensity.

It has been found that the resonance can be excited not only by externally applied pulsed electric fields, as discussed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,782,874, 5,899,922, 6,081,744, and 6,167,304, but also by pulsed magnetic fields, as described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,935,054 and 6,238,333, by weak heat pulses applied to the skin, as discussed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,800,481 and 6,091,994, and by subliminal acoustic pulses, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,017,302. Since the resonance is excited through sensory pathways, it is called a sensory resonance. In addition to the resonance near ½ Hz, a sensory resonance has been found near 2.4 Hz. The latter is characterized by the slowing of certain cortical processes, as discussed in the '481, '922, '302, '744, '944, and '304 patents."

HURRY IT UP BEFORE THE 'PEASANTS' FIND OUT?

AS REUTERS REPORTED: "In October, 2018, the FCC voted to open additional spectrum for use by unlicensed devices in the 6 GHz band, or five times the current spectrum available.

Unlicensed devices include things such as Wi-Fi routers, connected home appliances, baby monitors, fitness trackers, garage door openers and cordless landline phones.

President Donald Trump signed a presidential memorandum directing the Commerce Department to develop a long-term comprehensive national spectrum strategy to prepare for the introduction of next-generation 5G wireless networks.

The White House also said Trump is withdrawing presidential memorandums on spectrum signed by then-President Barack Obama in 2010 and 2013.

AT&T Inc, Verizon Communications Inc, Sprint Corp and T-Mobile US Inc are working to acquire spectrum."   

WELL, EVEN FORBES NOTICED HOW MUCH AND TO WHAT PARTY THE WIRELESS GIANTS PAID INTO CAMPAIGN CHESTS DURING ONE ELECTION (2012):
"In the list below, a red cell phone indicates that the company leans Republican, while a blue cell phone is Democratic. If donations were evenly split between the two parties, or politicking was minimal, the company received a purple cell phone.

AT&T, VERIZON AND T-MOBILE ALL CONTRIBUTED HEAVIER TO THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE FINALLY GOING TO GET WHAT THEY PAID FOR,YES?

WHAT DO WE GET? 
READ THE STUDIES.
WE EACH DECIDE WHAT 5G IS WORTH TO US.

FURTHER READING AND WAYS TO PROTECT YOURSELVES AND YOUR LOVED ONES

--Wireless devices have become the integral part of our everyday life. These devices are being used for many purposes such as for Internet and Telecommunication.

Being a theoretical approach, the purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of wireless devices on human body.
These devices emit the harmful radiations which cause the diseases like male infertility, brain tumor, hearing impairment, effect on eyes, etc. Besides, these radiations severely affect other various parts of human body.
This study investigated three major diseases, i.e., brain tumor, male infertility and hearing impairment. The survey/investigations have been conducted from number of medical practitioners working in various hospitals and medical centers of District Sukkur and Khairpur Mirs’. The results, collected through interviews and survey, show the intensity of harm of different wireless devices; Mobile phone is the most effective device with 96%, Bluetooth Device 32%, Laptop 54%, Tablet PC 14% and Wireless router 20%.

We observed that the mobile phone is more dangerous for our health, as doctors believed that wireless devices such as cell phones, laptop, wireless router, wireless headphone, cell phone tower, Bluetooth devices and tablet pc is cause of the disease of brain tumor, male infertility, heart disease, effect on fetus, hearing impairment, eye problems, immune system, leukemia, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. It is suggested that one should avoid the use of wireless devices or to minimize the timing as possible to save the human health.

Recommendations

• According to our survey the wireless devices emit radiations are harmful to human health so there are some recommendations that one should use one’s cell phone when it is necessary.
• Don’t put the cell phone in a pant and shirt pocket.
• Don’t use the cell phone for long-term which is harmful to health because doctors suggesting the use of cell phone for 1 hour in a day which cause of brain tumor within 10 years.
• Avoid the long time conversation, use head phone when you have to talk for long call.
• Avoid using the wireless gadget like cell phone, laptop, tablet pc, wireless keyboard and mouse so on.
• Don’t place the laptop on a lap when it is connected to Wi-Fi because it is harmful for sperms and also effect on the fetus, specially pregnant women avoid to use tablet, PC, laptop and cell phone.
• Don’t use wireless devices in schools and colleges because it is harmful for the children and it is suggested that use the land line phone and DSL.
• Each and every one should know about the effects of these wireless radiations on human body, in this regard public awareness programs may be designed and executed as soon as possible by the concerned authorities.
• Government should take an action on cell phone towers existing in or near populated areas because cell phone towers emit the harmful radio waves which are a cause of human health problems.
• The installation of towers in the populated area may be banned and if they are already installed, should be removed immediately to save the people from their dangerous effects of radiations.

--Hypothetical question:
WHAT IF... WHAT IF AS FAST AS THEY CAN PUT UP CELL TOWERS/ANTENNAE FOR THIS, CITIZENS TOOK THEM OUT?
WHAT IF...?


--. In 2014 the WHO launched a draft of a Monograph on RF fields and health for public comments. It turned out that five of the six members of the Core Group in charge of the draft are affiliated with International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP), an industry loyal NGO, and thus have a serious conflict of interest.


--FROM PSYCHOLOGY TODAY:
"Multiple studies have shown atrophy (shrinkage or loss of tissue volume) in gray matter areas (where “processing” occurs) in internet/gaming addiction (Zhou 2011, Yuan 2011, Weng 2013,and Weng 2012). Areas affected included the important frontal lobe, which governs executive functions, such as planning, planning, prioritizing, organizing, and impulse control (“getting stuff done”). Volume loss was also seen in the striatum, which is involved in reward pathways and the suppression of socially unacceptable impulses. A finding of particular concern was damage to an area known is the insula, which is involved in our capacity to develop empathy and compassion for others and our ability to integrate physical signals with emotion. Aside from the obvious link to violent behavior, these skills dictate the depth and quality of personal relationships.

Compromised white matter integrity: Research has also demonstrated loss of integrity to the brain’s white matter (Lin 2012, Yuan 2011, Hong 2013 and Weng 2013). “Spotty” white matter translates into loss of communication within the brain, including connections to and from various lobes of the same hemisphere, links between the right and left hemispheres, and paths between higher (cognitive) and lower (emotional and survival) brain centers. White matter also connects networks from the brain to the body and vice versa. Interrupted connections may slow down signals, “short-circuit” them, or cause them to be erratic (“misfire”)."
--NOW ADD THIS TO THE ABOVE ABOUT WHITE MATTER ABNORMALITIES:
"White matter abnormalities in adolescents with generalized anxiety disorder: a diffusion tensor imaging study"   

The prefrontal cortex, including the anterior cingulate cortex, is involved in emotional regulation by down-regulating the activity of the amygdala and related limbic structures [5, 19]. Functional neuroimaging studies of adolescents with GAD have shown increased activation in the lateral prefrontal cortex [10, 20, 21], medial prefrontal cortex [21] and anterior cingulate cortex [10] while viewing noxious stimuli. One study [14] found that adult GAD patients exhibited increased activation to angry expressions in the lateral frontal cortex, whereas another study [22] suggested that adult GAD patients showed decreased activation to emotional conflict in the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex compared with healthy controls. The limited structural neuroimaging studies have shown a sub-threshold decrease of gray matter volume in bilateral ventrolateral cortex in pediatric anxiety patients [18], and a larger volume of the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex in adult GAD patients [15]. In addition, a functional connectivity study [22] has revealed the aberrant functional connection between amygdala and the prefrontal cortex, suggesting neural correlates for emotion regulation deficits in adults with GAD. Taken together, all the available neuroimaging evidence suggests an abnormality of the neural circuitry, including the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, in both adult and adolescent GAD patients.Most studies investigate abnormalities of gray matter, while few focus on the integrity of white matter.

IS THIS WHY IT SEEMS THE ENTIRE WORLD HAS GONE MAD?

In 1933, he became involved in a controversy known as the Business Plot, when he told a congressional committee that a group of wealthy industrialists were planning a military coup to overthrow Franklin D. Roosevelt, with Butler selected to lead a march of veterans to become dictator, similar to Fascist regimes at that time. The individuals involved all denied the existence of a plot and the media ridiculed the allegations, but a final report by a special House of Representatives Committee confirmed some of Butler's testimony.

The Congressional committee final report (74th Congress House of Representatives Report, pursuant to House Resolution No. 198, 73d Congress, February 15, 1935. Quoted in: George Seldes, 1000 Americans (1947), pp. 290–292. See also Schmidt, p. 245) said:

"In the last few weeks of the committee's official life it received evidence showing that certain persons had made an attempt to establish a fascist organization in this country. No evidence was presented and this committee had none to show a connection between this effort and any fascist activity of any European country. There is no question that these attempts were discussed, were planned, and might have been placed in execution when and if the financial backers deemed it expedient.

This committee received evidence from Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler (retired), twice decorated by the Congress of the United States. He testified before the committee as to conversations with one Gerald C. MacGuire in which the latter is alleged to have suggested the formation of a fascist army under the leadership of General Butler.
MacGuire denied these allegations under oath, but your committee was able to verify all the pertinent statements made by General Butler, with the exception of the direct statement suggesting the creation of the organization. This, however, was corroborated in the correspondence of MacGuire with his principal, Robert Sterling Clark, of New York City, while MacGuire was abroad studying the various forms of veterans organizations of Fascist character."

PROBABLY NOT ONE IN A THOUSAND AMERICANS HAVE HEARD OF THIS MAN, THIS PLOT AGAINST FDR, OR THIS FACTUAL PRESENTATION THAT WAR IS A RACKET, THAT THOSE WHO PROFIT FROM WAR PUSH WAR, LOBBY CONGRESS, STIR THE WAR POT.

War Is A Racket

CHAPTER ONE

WAR is a racket. It always has been.

It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.

A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority of the people. Only a small "inside" group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.

In the World War [I] a mere handful garnered the profits of the conflict. At least 21,000 new millionaires and billionaires were made in the United States during the World War. That many admitted their huge blood gains in their income tax returns. How many other war millionaires falsified their tax returns no one knows.

How many of these war millionaires shouldered a rifle? How many of them dug a trench? How many of them knew what it meant to go hungry in a rat-infested dug-out? How many of them spent sleepless, frightened nights, ducking shells and shrapnel and machine gun bullets? How many of them parried a bayonet thrust of an enemy? How many of them were wounded or killed in battle?

Out of war nations acquire additional territory, if they are victorious. They just take it. This newly acquired territory promptly is exploited by the few -- the selfsame few who wrung dollars out of blood in the war. The general public shoulders the bill.

And what is this bill?

This bill renders a horrible accounting. Newly placed gravestones. Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic instability. Depression and all its attendant miseries. Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations.

For a great many years, as a soldier, I had a suspicion that war was a racket; not until I retired to civil life did I fully realize it. Now that I see the international war clouds gathering, as they are today, I must face it and speak out.

Again they are choosing sides. France and Russia met and agreed to stand side by side. Italy and Austria hurried to make a similar agreement. Poland and Germany cast sheep's eyes at each other, forgetting for the nonce [one unique occasion], their dispute over the Polish Corridor.

The assassination of King Alexander of Jugoslavia [Yugoslavia] complicated matters. Jugoslavia and Hungary, long bitter enemies, were almost at each other's throats. Italy was ready to jump in. But France was waiting. So was Czechoslovakia. All of them are looking ahead to war. Not the people -- not those who fight and pay and die -- only those who foment wars and remain safely at home to profit.

There are 40,000,000 men under arms in the world today, and our statesmen and diplomats have the temerity to say that war is not in the making.

Hell's bells! Are these 40,000,000 men being trained to be dancers?

Not in Italy, to be sure. Premier Mussolini knows what they are being trained for. He, at least, is frank enough to speak out. Only the other day, Il Duce in "International Conciliation," the publication of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said:

"And above all, Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace. . . . War alone brings up to its highest tension all human energy and puts the stamp of nobility upon the people who have the courage to meet it."

Undoubtedly Mussolini means exactly what he says. His well-trained army, his great fleet of planes, and even his navy are ready for war -- anxious for it, apparently. His recent stand at the side of Hungary in the latter's dispute with Jugoslavia showed that. And the hurried mobilization of his troops on the Austrian border after the assassination of Dollfuss showed it too. There are others in Europe too whose sabre rattling presages war, sooner or later.

Herr Hitler, with his rearming Germany and his constant demands for more and more arms, is an equal if not greater menace to peace. France only recently increased the term of military service for its youth from a year to eighteen months.

Yes, all over, nations are camping in their arms. The mad dogs of Europe are on the loose. In the Orient the maneuvering is more adroit. Back in 1904, when Russia and Japan fought, we kicked out our old friends the Russians and backed Japan. Then our very generous international bankers were financing Japan. Now the trend is to poison us against the Japanese. What does the "open door" policy to China mean to us? Our trade with China is about $90,000,000 a year. Or the Philippine Islands? We have spent about $600,000,000 in the Philippines in thirty-five years and we (our bankers and industrialists and speculators) have private investments there of less than $200,000,000.

Then, to save that China trade of about $90,000,000, or to protect these private investments of less than $200,000,000 in the Philippines, we would be all stirred up to hate Japan and go to war -- a war that might well cost us tens of billions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of lives of Americans, and many more hundreds of thousands of physically maimed and mentally unbalanced men.

Of course, for this loss, there would be a compensating profit -- fortunes would be made. Millions and billions of dollars would be piled up. By a few. Munitions makers. Bankers. Ship builders. Manufacturers. Meat packers. Speculators. They would fare well.

Yes, they are getting ready for another war. Why shouldn't they? It pays high dividends.

But what does it profit the men who are killed? What does it profit their mothers and sisters, their wives and their sweethearts? What does it profit their children?

What does it profit anyone except the very few to whom war means huge profits?

Yes, and what does it profit the nation?

Take our own case. Until 1898 we didn't own a bit of territory outside the mainland of North America. At that time our national debt was a little more than $1,000,000,000. Then we became "internationally minded." We forgot, or shunted aside, the advice of the Father of our country. We forgot George Washington's warning about "entangling alliances." We went to war. We acquired outside territory. At the end of the World War period, as a direct result of our fiddling in international affairs, our national debt had jumped to over $25,000,000,000. Our total favorable trade balance during the twenty-five-year period was about $24,000,000,000. Therefore, on a purely bookkeeping basis, we ran a little behind year for year, and that foreign trade might well have been ours without the wars.

It would have been far cheaper (not to say safer) for the average American who pays the bills to stay out of foreign entanglements. For a very few this racket, like bootlegging and other underworld rackets, brings fancy profits, but the cost of operations is always transferred to the people -- who do not profit.


CHAPTER TWO

Who Makes The Profits?

The World War, rather our brief participation in it, has cost the United States some $52,000,000,000. Figure it out. That means $400 to every American man, woman, and child. And we haven't paid the debt yet. We are paying it, our children will pay it, and our children's children probably still will be paying the cost of that war.

The normal profits of a business concern in the United States are six, eight, ten, and sometimes twelve percent. But war-time profits -- ah! that is another matter -- twenty, sixty, one hundred, three hundred, and even eighteen hundred per cent -- the sky is the limit. All that traffic will bear. Uncle Sam has the money. Let's get it.

Of course, it isn't put that crudely in war time. It is dressed into speeches about patriotism, love of country, and "we must all put our shoulders to the wheel," but the profits jump and leap and skyrocket -- and are safely pocketed. Let's just take a few examples:

Take our friends the du Ponts, the powder people -- didn't one of them testify before a Senate committee recently that their powder won the war? Or saved the world for democracy? Or something? How did they do in the war? They were a patriotic corporation. Well, the average earnings of the du Ponts for the period 1910 to 1914 were $6,000,000 a year. It wasn't much, but the du Ponts managed to get along on it. Now let's look at their average yearly profit during the war years, 1914 to 1918. Fifty-eight million dollars a year profit we find! Nearly ten times that of normal times, and the profits of normal times were pretty good. An increase in profits of more than 950 per cent.

Take one of our little steel companies that patriotically shunted aside the making of rails and girders and bridges to manufacture war materials. Well, their 1910-1914 yearly earnings averaged $6,000,000. Then came the war. And, like loyal citizens, Bethlehem Steel promptly turned to munitions making. Did their profits jump -- or did they let Uncle Sam in for a bargain? Well, their 1914-1918 average was $49,000,000 a year!

Or, let's take United States Steel. The normal earnings during the five-year period prior to the war were $105,000,000 a year. Not bad. Then along came the war and up went the profits. The average yearly profit for the period 1914-1918 was $240,000,000. Not bad.

There you have some of the steel and powder earnings. Let's look at something else. A little copper, perhaps. That always does well in war times.

Anaconda, for instance. Average yearly earnings during the pre-war years 1910-1914 of $10,000,000. During the war years 1914-1918 profits leaped to $34,000,000 per year.

Or Utah Copper. Average of $5,000,000 per year during the 1910-1914 period. Jumped to an average of $21,000,000 yearly profits for the war period.

Let's group these five, with three smaller companies. The total yearly average profits of the pre-war period 1910-1914 were $137,480,000. Then along came the war. The average yearly profits for this group skyrocketed to $408,300,000.

A little increase in profits of approximately 200 per cent.

Does war pay? It paid them. But they aren't the only ones. There are still others. Let's take leather.

For the three-year period before the war the total profits of Central Leather Company were $3,500,000. That was approximately $1,167,000 a year. Well, in 1916 Central Leather returned a profit of $15,000,000, a small increase of 1,100 per cent. That's all. The General Chemical Company averaged a profit for the three years before the war of a little over $800,000 a year. Came the war, and the profits jumped to $12,000,000. a leap of 1,400 per cent.

International Nickel Company -- and you can't have a war without nickel -- showed an increase in profits from a mere average of $4,000,000 a year to $73,000,000 yearly. Not bad? An increase of more than 1,700 per cent.

American Sugar Refining Company averaged $2,000,000 a year for the three years before the war. In 1916 a profit of $6,000,000 was recorded.

Listen to Senate Document No. 259. The Sixty-Fifth Congress, reporting on corporate earnings and government revenues. Considering the profits of 122 meat packers, 153 cotton manufacturers, 299 garment makers, 49 steel plants, and 340 coal producers during the war. Profits under 25 per cent were exceptional. For instance the coal companies made between 100 per cent and 7,856 per cent on their capital stock during the war. The Chicago packers doubled and tripled their earnings.

And let us not forget the bankers who financed the great war. If anyone had the cream of the profits it was the bankers. Being partnerships rather than incorporated organizations, they do not have to report to stockholders. And their profits were as secret as they were immense. How the bankers made their millions and their billions I do not know, because those little secrets never become public -- even before a Senate investigatory body.

But here's how some of the other patriotic industrialists and speculators chiseled their way into war profits.

Take the shoe people. They like war. It brings business with abnormal profits. They made huge profits on sales abroad to our allies. Perhaps, like the munitions manufacturers and armament makers, they also sold to the enemy. For a dollar is a dollar whether it comes from Germany or from France. But they did well by Uncle Sam too. For instance, they sold Uncle Sam 35,000,000 pairs of hobnailed service shoes. There were 4,000,000 soldiers. Eight pairs, and more, to a soldier. My regiment during the war had only one pair to a soldier. Some of these shoes probably are still in existence. They were good shoes. But when the war was over Uncle Sam has a matter of 25,000,000 pairs left over. Bought -- and paid for. Profits recorded and pocketed.

There was still lots of leather left. So the leather people sold your Uncle Sam hundreds of thousands of McClellan saddles for the cavalry. But there wasn't any American cavalry overseas! Somebody had to get rid of this leather, however. Somebody had to make a profit in it -- so we had a lot of McClellan saddles. And we probably have those yet.

Also somebody had a lot of mosquito netting. They sold your Uncle Sam 20,000,000 mosquito nets for the use of the soldiers overseas. I suppose the boys were expected to put it over them as they tried to sleep in muddy trenches -- one hand scratching cooties on their backs and the other making passes at scurrying rats. Well, not one of these mosquito nets ever got to France!

Anyhow, these thoughtful manufacturers wanted to make sure that no soldier would be without his mosquito net, so 40,000,000 additional yards of mosquito netting were sold to Uncle Sam.

There were pretty good profits in mosquito netting in those days, even if there were no mosquitoes in France. I suppose, if the war had lasted just a little longer, the enterprising mosquito netting manufacturers would have sold your Uncle Sam a couple of consignments of mosquitoes to plant in France so that more mosquito netting would be in order.

Airplane and engine manufacturers felt they, too, should get their just profits out of this war. Why not? Everybody else was getting theirs. So $1,000,000,000 -- count them if you live long enough -- was spent by Uncle Sam in building airplane engines that never left the ground! Not one plane, or motor, out of the billion dollars worth ordered, ever got into a battle in France. Just the same the manufacturers made their little profit of 30, 100, or perhaps 300 per cent.

Undershirts for soldiers cost 14¢ [cents] to make and uncle Sam paid 30¢ to 40¢ each for them -- a nice little profit for the undershirt manufacturer. And the stocking manufacturer and the uniform manufacturers and the cap manufacturers and the steel helmet manufacturers -- all got theirs.

Why, when the war was over some 4,000,000 sets of equipment -- knapsacks and the things that go to fill them -- crammed warehouses on this side. Now they are being scrapped because the regulations have changed the contents. But the manufacturers collected their wartime profits on them -- and they will do it all over again the next time.

There were lots of brilliant ideas for profit making during the war.

One very versatile patriot sold Uncle Sam twelve dozen 48-inch wrenches. Oh, they were very nice wrenches. The only trouble was that there was only one nut ever made that was large enough for these wrenches. That is the one that holds the turbines at Niagara Falls. Well, after Uncle Sam had bought them and the manufacturer had pocketed the profit, the wrenches were put on freight cars and shunted all around the United States in an effort to find a use for them. When the Armistice was signed it was indeed a sad blow to the wrench manufacturer. He was just about to make some nuts to fit the wrenches. Then he planned to sell these, too, to your Uncle Sam.

Still another had the brilliant idea that colonels shouldn't ride in automobiles, nor should they even ride on horseback. One has probably seen a picture of Andy Jackson riding in a buckboard. Well, some 6,000 buckboards were sold to Uncle Sam for the use of colonels! Not one of them was used. But the buckboard manufacturer got his war profit.

The shipbuilders felt they should come in on some of it, too. They built a lot of ships that made a lot of profit. More than $3,000,000,000 worth. Some of the ships were all right. But $635,000,000 worth of them were made of wood and wouldn't float! The seams opened up -- and they sank. We paid for them, though. And somebody pocketed the profits.

It has been estimated by statisticians and economists and researchers that the war cost your Uncle Sam $52,000,000,000. Of this sum, $39,000,000,000 was expended in the actual war itself. This expenditure yielded $16,000,000,000 in profits. That is how the 21,000 billionaires and millionaires got that way. This $16,000,000,000 profits is not to be sneezed at. It is quite a tidy sum. And it went to a very few.

The Senate (Nye) committee probe of the munitions industry and its wartime profits, despite its sensational disclosures, hardly has scratched the surface.

Even so, it has had some effect. The State Department has been studying "for some time" methods of keeping out of war. The War Department suddenly decides it has a wonderful plan to spring. The Administration names a committee -- with the War and Navy Departments ably represented under the chairmanship of a Wall Street speculator -- to limit profits in war time. To what extent isn't suggested. Hmmm. Possibly the profits of 300 and 600 and 1,600 per cent of those who turned blood into gold in the World War would be limited to some smaller figure.

Apparently, however, the plan does not call for any limitation of losses -- that is, the losses of those who fight the war. As far as I have been able to ascertain there is nothing in the scheme to limit a soldier to the loss of but one eye, or one arm, or to limit his wounds to one or two or three. Or to limit the loss of life.

There is nothing in this scheme, apparently, that says not more than 12 per cent of a regiment shall be wounded in battle, or that not more than 7 per cent in a division shall be killed.

Of course, the committee cannot be bothered with such trifling matters.


CHAPTER THREE

Who Pays The Bills?

Who provides the profits -- these nice little profits of 20, 100, 300, 1,500 and 1,800 per cent? We all pay them -- in taxation. We paid the bankers their profits when we bought Liberty Bonds at $100.00 and sold them back at $84 or $86 to the bankers. These bankers collected $100 plus. It was a simple manipulation. The bankers control the security marts. It was easy for them to depress the price of these bonds. Then all of us -- the people -- got frightened and sold the bonds at $84 or $86. The bankers bought them. Then these same bankers stimulated a boom and government bonds went to par -- and above. Then the bankers collected their profits.

But the soldier pays the biggest part of the bill.

If you don't believe this, visit the American cemeteries on the battlefields abroad. Or visit any of the veteran's hospitals in the United States. On a tour of the country, in the midst of which I am at the time of this writing, I have visited eighteen government hospitals for veterans. In them are a total of about 50,000 destroyed men -- men who were the pick of the nation eighteen years ago. The very able chief surgeon at the government hospital; at Milwaukee, where there are 3,800 of the living dead, told me that mortality among veterans is three times as great as among those who stayed at home.

Boys with a normal viewpoint were taken out of the fields and offices and factories and classrooms and put into the ranks. There they were remolded; they were made over; they were made to "about face"; to regard murder as the order of the day. They were put shoulder to shoulder and, through mass psychology, they were entirely changed. We used them for a couple of years and trained them to think nothing at all of killing or of being killed.

Then, suddenly, we discharged them and told them to make another "about face" ! This time they had to do their own readjustment, sans [without] mass psychology, sans officers' aid and advice and sans nation-wide propaganda. We didn't need them any more. So we scattered them about without any "three-minute" or "Liberty Loan" speeches or parades. Many, too many, of these fine young boys are eventually destroyed, mentally, because they could not make that final "about face" alone.

In the government hospital in Marion, Indiana, 1,800 of these boys are in pens! Five hundred of them in a barracks with steel bars and wires all around outside the buildings and on the porches. These already have been mentally destroyed. These boys don't even look like human beings. Oh, the looks on their faces! Physically, they are in good shape; mentally, they are gone.

There are thousands and thousands of these cases, and more and more are coming in all the time. The tremendous excitement of the war, the sudden cutting off of that excitement -- the young boys couldn't stand it.

That's a part of the bill. So much for the dead -- they have paid their part of the war profits. So much for the mentally and physically wounded -- they are paying now their share of the war profits. But the others paid, too -- they paid with heartbreaks when they tore themselves away from their firesides and their families to don the uniform of Uncle Sam -- on which a profit had been made. They paid another part in the training camps where they were regimented and drilled while others took their jobs and their places in the lives of their communities. The paid for it in the trenches where they shot and were shot; where they were hungry for days at a time; where they slept in the mud and the cold and in the rain -- with the moans and shrieks of the dying for a horrible lullaby.

But don't forget -- the soldier paid part of the dollars and cents bill too.

Up to and including the Spanish-American War, we had a prize system, and soldiers and sailors fought for money. During the Civil War they were paid bonuses, in many instances, before they went into service. The government, or states, paid as high as $1,200 for an enlistment. In the Spanish-American War they gave prize money. When we captured any vessels, the soldiers all got their share -- at least, they were supposed to. Then it was found that we could reduce the cost of wars by taking all the prize money and keeping it, but conscripting [drafting] the soldier anyway. Then soldiers couldn't bargain for their labor, Everyone else could bargain, but the soldier couldn't.

Napoleon once said,

"All men are enamored of decorations . . . they positively hunger for them."

So by developing the Napoleonic system -- the medal business -- the government learned it could get soldiers for less money, because the boys liked to be decorated. Until the Civil War there were no medals. Then the Congressional Medal of Honor was handed out. It made enlistments easier. After the Civil War no new medals were issued until the Spanish-American War.

In the World War, we used propaganda to make the boys accept conscription. They were made to feel ashamed if they didn't join the army.

So vicious was this war propaganda that even God was brought into it. With few exceptions our clergymen joined in the clamor to kill, kill, kill. To kill the Germans. God is on our side . . . it is His will that the Germans be killed.

And in Germany, the good pastors called upon the Germans to kill the allies . . . to please the same God. That was a part of the general propaganda, built up to make people war conscious and murder conscious.

Beautiful ideals were painted for our boys who were sent out to die. This was the "war to end all wars." This was the "war to make the world safe for democracy." No one mentioned to them, as they marched away, that their going and their dying would mean huge war profits. No one told these American soldiers that they might be shot down by bullets made by their own brothers here. No one told them that the ships on which they were going to cross might be torpedoed by submarines built with United States patents. They were just told it was to be a "glorious adventure."

Thus, having stuffed patriotism down their throats, it was decided to make them help pay for the war, too. So, we gave them the large salary of $30 a month.

All they had to do for this munificent sum was to leave their dear ones behind, give up their jobs, lie in swampy trenches, eat canned willy (when they could get it) and kill and kill and kill . . . and be killed.

But wait!

Half of that wage (just a little more than a riveter in a shipyard or a laborer in a munitions factory safe at home made in a day) was promptly taken from him to support his dependents, so that they would not become a charge upon his community. Then we made him pay what amounted to accident insurance -- something the employer pays for in an enlightened state -- and that cost him $6 a month. He had less than $9 a month left.

Then, the most crowning insolence of all -- he was virtually blackjacked into paying for his own ammunition, clothing, and food by being made to buy Liberty Bonds. Most soldiers got no money at all on pay days.

We made them buy Liberty Bonds at $100 and then we bought them back -- when they came back from the war and couldn't find work -- at $84 and $86. And the soldiers bought about $2,000,000,000 worth of these bonds!

Yes, the soldier pays the greater part of the bill. His family pays too. They pay it in the same heart-break that he does. As he suffers, they suffer. At nights, as he lay in the trenches and watched shrapnel burst about him, they lay home in their beds and tossed sleeplessly -- his father, his mother, his wife, his sisters, his brothers, his sons, and his daughters.

When he returned home minus an eye, or minus a leg or with his mind broken, they suffered too -- as much as and even sometimes more than he. Yes, and they, too, contributed their dollars to the profits of the munitions makers and bankers and shipbuilders and the manufacturers and the speculators made. They, too, bought Liberty Bonds and contributed to the profit of the bankers after the Armistice in the hocus-pocus of manipulated Liberty Bond prices.

And even now the families of the wounded men and of the mentally broken and those who never were able to readjust themselves are still suffering and still paying.


CHAPTER FOUR

How To Smash This Racket!

WELL, it's a racket, all right.

A few profit -- and the many pay. But there is a way to stop it. You can't end it by disarmament conferences. You can't eliminate it by peace parleys at Geneva. Well-meaning but impractical groups can't wipe it out by resolutions.

It can be smashed effectively only by taking the profit out of war.

The only way to smash this racket is to conscript capital and industry and labor before the nations manhood can be conscripted.
One month before the Government can conscript the young men of the nation -- it must conscript capital and industry and labor.

Let the officers and the directors and the high-powered executives of our armament factories and our munitions makers and our shipbuilders and our airplane builders and the manufacturers of all the other things that provide profit in war time as well as the bankers and the speculators, be conscripted -- to get $30 a month, the same wage as the lads in the trenches get.

Let the workers in these plants get the same wages -- all the workers, all presidents, all executives, all directors, all managers, all bankers -- yes, and all generals and all admirals and all officers and all politicians and all government office holders -- everyone in the nation be restricted to a total monthly income not to exceed that paid to the soldier in the trenches!

Let all these kings and tycoons and masters of business and all those workers in industry and all our senators and governors and majors pay half of their monthly $30 wage to their families and pay war risk insurance and buy Liberty Bonds.

Why shouldn't they?

They aren't running any risk of being killed or of having their bodies mangled or their minds shattered. They aren't sleeping in muddy trenches. They aren't hungry. The soldiers are!

Give capital and industry and labor thirty days to think it over and you will find, by that time, there will be no war.
That will smash the war racket -- that and nothing else.

Maybe I am a little too optimistic. Capital still has some say. So capital won't permit the taking of the profit out of war until the people -- those who do the suffering and still pay the price -- make up their minds that those they elect to office shall do their bidding, and not that of the profiteers.

Another step necessary in this fight to smash the war racket is the limited plebiscite to determine whether a war should be declared. A plebiscite not of all the voters but merely of those who would be called upon to do the fighting and dying.

There wouldn't be very much sense in having a 76-year-old president of a munitions factory or the flat-footed head of an international banking firm or the cross-eyed manager of a uniform manufacturing plant -- all of whom see visions of tremendous profits in the event of war -- voting on whether the nation should go to war or not. They never would be called upon to shoulder arms -- to sleep in a trench and to be shot. Only those who would be called upon to risk their lives for their country should have the privilege of voting to determine whether the nation should go to war.

There is ample precedent for restricting the voting to those affected. Many of our states have restrictions on those permitted to vote. In most, it is necessary to be able to read and write before you may vote. In some, you must own property. It would be a simple matter each year for the men coming of military age to register in their communities as they did in the draft during the World War and be examined physically. Those who could pass and who would therefore be called upon to bear arms in the event of war would be eligible to vote in a limited plebiscite. They should be the ones to have the power to decide -- and not a Congress few of whose members are within the age limit and fewer still of whom are in physical condition to bear arms. Only those who must suffer should have the right to vote.

A third step in this business of smashing the war racket is to make certain that our military forces are truly forces for defense only.

At each session of Congress the question of further naval appropriations comes up.
The swivel-chair admirals of Washington (and there are always a lot of them) are very adroit lobbyists. And they are smart.
They don't shout that "We need a lot of battleships to war on this nation or that nation."
Oh no. First of all, they let it be known that America is menaced by a great naval power. Almost any day, these admirals will tell you, the great fleet of this supposed enemy will strike suddenly and annihilate 125,000,000 people. Just like that. Then they begin to cry for a larger navy. For what? To fight the enemy? Oh my, no. Oh, no. For defense purposes only.

Then, incidentally, they announce maneuvers in the Pacific. For defense. Uh, huh.

The Pacific is a great big ocean. We have a tremendous coastline on the Pacific. Will the maneuvers be off the coast, two or three hundred miles? Oh, no. The maneuvers will be two thousand, yes, perhaps even thirty-five hundred miles, off the coast.

The Japanese, a proud people, of course will be pleased beyond expression to see the united States fleet so close to Nippon's shores. Even as pleased as would be the residents of California were they to dimly discern through the morning mist, the Japanese fleet playing at war games off Los Angeles.

The ships of our navy, it can be seen, should be specifically limited, by law, to within 200 miles of our coastline. Had that been the law in 1898 the Maine would never have gone to Havana Harbor. She never would have been blown up. There would have been no war with Spain with its attendant loss of life. Two hundred miles is ample, in the opinion of experts, for defense purposes. Our nation cannot start an offensive war if its ships can't go further than 200 miles from the coastline. Planes might be permitted to go as far as 500 miles from the coast for purposes of reconnaissance. And the army should never leave the territorial limits of our nation.

To summarize: Three steps must be taken to smash the war racket.

We must take the profit out of war.

We must permit the youth of the land who would bear arms to decide whether or not there should be war.

We must limit our military forces to home defense purposes.

CHAPTER FIVE

To Hell With War!

I am not a fool as to believe that war is a thing of the past. I know the people do not want war, but there is no use in saying we cannot be pushed into another war.

Looking back, Woodrow Wilson was re-elected president in 1916 on a platform that he had "kept us out of war" and on the implied promise that he would "keep us out of war." Yet, five months later he asked Congress to declare war on Germany.

In that five-month interval the people had not been asked whether they had changed their minds. The 4,000,000 young men who put on uniforms and marched or sailed away were not asked whether they wanted to go forth to suffer and die.

Then what caused our government to change its mind so suddenly?

Money.

An allied commission, it may be recalled, came over shortly before the war declaration and called on the President. The President summoned a group of advisers. The head of the commission spoke. Stripped of its diplomatic language, this is what he told the President and his group:

"There is no use kidding ourselves any longer. The cause of the allies is lost. We now owe you (American bankers, American munitions makers, American manufacturers, American speculators, American exporters) five or six billion dollars.

If we lose (and without the help of the United States we must lose) we, England, France and Italy, cannot pay back this money . . . and Germany won't.

So . . . "

Had secrecy been outlawed as far as war negotiations were concerned, and had the press been invited to be present at that conference, or had radio been available to broadcast the proceedings, America never would have entered the World War. But this conference, like all war discussions, was shrouded in utmost secrecy. When our boys were sent off to war they were told it was a "war to make the world safe for democracy" and a "war to end all wars."

Well, eighteen years after, the world has less of democracy than it had then. Besides, what business is it of ours whether Russia or Germany or England or France or Italy or Austria live under democracies or monarchies? Whether they are Fascists or Communists? Our problem is to preserve our own democracy.

And very little, if anything, has been accomplished to assure us that the World War was really the war to end all wars.

Yes, we have had disarmament conferences and limitations of arms conferences. They don't mean a thing. One has just failed; the results of another have been nullified. We send our professional soldiers and our sailors and our politicians and our diplomats to these conferences. And what happens?

The professional soldiers and sailors don't want to disarm. No admiral wants to be without a ship. No general wants to be without a command. Both mean men without jobs. They are not for disarmament. They cannot be for limitations of arms. And at all these conferences, lurking in the background but all-powerful, just the same, are the sinister agents of those who profit by war. They see to it that these conferences do not disarm or seriously limit armaments.

The chief aim of any power at any of these conferences has not been to achieve disarmament to prevent war but rather to get more armament for itself and less for any potential foe.

There is only one way to disarm with any semblance of practicability. That is for all nations to get together and scrap every ship, every gun, every rifle, every tank, every war plane. Even this, if it were possible, would not be enough.

The next war, according to experts, will be fought not with battleships, not by artillery, not with rifles and not with machine guns. It will be fought with deadly chemicals and gases.

Secretly each nation is studying and perfecting newer and ghastlier means of annihilating its foes wholesale. Yes, ships will continue to be built, for the shipbuilders must make their profits. And guns still will be manufactured and powder and rifles will be made, for the munitions makers must make their huge profits. And the soldiers, of course, must wear uniforms, for the manufacturer must make their war profits too.

But victory or defeat will be determined by the skill and ingenuity of our scientists.

If we put them to work making poison gas and more and more fiendish mechanical and explosive instruments of destruction, they will have no time for the constructive job of building greater prosperity for all peoples. By putting them to this useful job, we can all make more money out of peace than we can out of war -- even the munitions makers.

So...I say,

TO HELL WITH WAR!

ANONYMOUS USE OF THE INTERNET AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH ON TRIAL

SOME OF THE ENTITIES INDICTED BY MUELLER NEVER EXISTED.

AN ENTIRE COMPANY THAT HE INDICTED WASN'T EVEN IN EXISTENCE DURING THE CAMPAIGN.

WHAT HE CLAIMS WERE RUSSIANS COULD HAVE BEEN ANYONE WHO CHOOSES TO USE A PSEUDONYM ON THE INTERNET.

THE MILLION-PLUS PAGES OF HIS EVIDENCE ARE WRITTEN IN RUSSIAN, UNTRANSLATED TO THIS DAY. 

In 2007, Russian was the primary spoken language of 851,174 Americans at home, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

In fact, the Russian American population is estimated at approximately 2.9 million people and is the second largest ethnic market of the total foreign-born population of 28.4 million.

WHAT IF IT WAS SOME OF THOSE VERY RUSSIAN-AMERICANS WHO WERE DECIDEDLY REPUBLICANS, WHO WERE DOING WHAT MILLIONS OF CITIZENS WERE DOING, SIMPLY TRYING TO GET THOSE RUNNING ON A GOP TICKET ELECTED?


ACCORDING TO THE MUELLER TEAM'S STATEMENTS IN COURT, INTERNET ANONYMITY IS SEEN AS A THREAT TO NATIONAL SECURITY, SINCE THEY CLAIM TO HAVE UNMASKED THOSE 'RUSSIANS' WHO WENT 'PHISHING' TO GARNER VOTES FOR TRUMP BY MEANS OF ANONYMOUS ACCOUNTS.


BUT THIS GOES FURTHER BACK THAN 2016.
ANONYMITY HAS BEEN UNDER SERIOUS ATTACK FOR OVER A DECADE; IT JUST HADN'T BEEN INDICTED YET.

Anonymity on the Internet Must be Protected


Is Anonymous a threat to national security, or just trolling? - The Verge


BBC - Future - The reasons you can't be anonymous anymore


Anonymity in America: Does National Security Preclude It


EVEN WITH ALL THOSE CHARGES/ACCUSATIONS, WHAT MUELLER'S TEAM REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE EVERY DAY IS THE FACT THAT HILLARY CLINTON WON THE POPULAR VOTE, THAT, IF THERE WAS NO ELECTORAL COLLEGE, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN 'QUEEN'.

HILLARY WON, AND WHAT THOSE "RUSSIAN" INTERNET ACCOUNTS DID WAS NO
WORSE THAN WHAT ANY AMERICAN WHO USES SOCIAL MEDIA BY PSEUDONYM DID TO TRY TO GARNER VOTES FOR "THEIR CANDIDATE".

SO, WHO IS MUELLER REALLY AFTER?
ANONYMOUS INTERNET USERS, USING FREEDOM OF SPEECH TO SAY WHATEVER THE HELL THEY WANT TO SAY ON SOCIAL MEDIA, WITHOUT VIOLATING TERMS OF SERVICE, OF COURSE.

The heart of the Defense argument is that the indictment doesn't charge a crime.

"It charges conspiring to interfere with an election... There is no statute of interfering with an election."

U.S. District Judge Dabney L. Friedrich is expressing doubts about Mr. Mueller’s unique prosecutorial adventure, though she is not saying she will dismiss the charges, as Mr. Dubelier has requested.

The indictment is one of two against Russian entities that together stand as Mr. Mueller’s showcase prosecution in the Justice Department’s 27-month investigation into supposed Trump-Russia collusion. He has yet to charge a Trump associate with election interference.

A review of the transcript of an Oct. 15 hearing shows the judge’s reservations.

She said of Mr. Mueller’s team, “They’ve got a heavy burden at trial to prove that knowledge.” She was referring to awareness that Concord knowingly defrauded the Federal Election Commission, the Justice Department and the State Department.

“And I agree, at trial, if this case survives, they’re going to have to show that Concord and others conspired and had the specific intent to defraud,” Judge Friedrich said.
“I will give you, Mr. Dubelier, this is an unprecedented case, for sure,” the judge said.

The attorney had argued that there is no specific federal law against interfering in a U.S. election. He said there are no previous prosecutions on defrauding the FEC by using fake social media personas.

ADD TO THE ABOVE, THAT THERE EXISTS NO STATUTE FOR THE ALLEGED CHARGE, THE FACT THAT ONE OF THE COMPANIES INDICTED BY MUELLER DID NOT EVEN EXIST WHEN THE ALLEGED "ELECTION INTERFERENCE" TOOK PLACE!

SOME OF THE "RUSSIAN INDIVIDUALS" NAMED IN THE INDICTMENT NEVER REALLY EXISTED, ARE PSEUDONYMS USED BY SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS.

THESE ACCOUNTS COULD HAVE BELONGED TO ANYONE, INCLUDING THE CIA, NSA, FBI, ANYONE.
HOW WOULD MUELLER EVER BE ABLE TO PROVE TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, LET ALONE A FEDERAL COURT, WHO WAS BEHIND THOSE FAKE ACCOUNTS?

HE WANTS US TO TRUST HIM?

YOU JUST CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP, FOLKS!

The reason the Concord Management attorneys called the case a ‘proverbial ham sandwich’ was because one of the entities indicted by the Mueller team, Concord Catering, was not even in existence at the time the crimes were alleged to have taken place.

AS REPORTED BY THE WASHINGTON POST:

Head attorney for the Russian defendant, Eric A. Dubelier of the Washington D.C. based Reed Smith law firm, stated, “If they show me that they did exist, then we would probably represent them also.”

The Redd Smith firm represents Concord’s founder, Yevgeniy Viktorovich Prigozhin, a Russian businessman nicknamed “Putin’s chef” because of his close ties to President Vladi­mir Putin.

The request [made by defense attorneys], prosecutors have said, included asking for identities of online platforms discovered by federal investigators and any related, charged or uncharged individuals; names of potential witnesses; any statements, recordings or surveillance of Concord employees; and any instances since 1945 in which the U.S. government interfered with elections or political processes of other countries.

ACCORDING TO THE NEW YORK TIMES, THAT LIST OF AMERICA MEDDLING IN FOREIGN ELECTIONS WILL BE A VERY LONG ONE!

AFTER ALL, AMERICA TAUGHT THE WHOLE WORLD HOW IT'S DONE.

“If you ask an intelligence officer, did the Russians break the rules or do something bizarre, the answer is no, not at all,” said Steven L. Hall, who retired in 2015 after 30 years at the C.I.A., where he was the chief of Russian operations. The United States “absolutely” has carried out such election influence operations historically, he said, “and I hope we keep doing it.”

Loch K. Johnson, the dean of American intelligence scholars, who began his career in the 1970s investigating the C.I.A. as a staff member of the Senate’s Church Committee, says Russia’s 2016 operation was simply the cyber-age version of standard United States practice for decades, whenever American officials were worried about a foreign vote.

“We’ve been doing this kind of thing since the C.I.A. was created in 1947,” said Mr. Johnson, now at the University of Georgia. “We’ve used posters, pamphlets, mailers, banners — you name it. We’ve planted false information in foreign newspapers. We’ve used what the British call ‘King George’s cavalry’: suitcases of cash.”

A Carnegie Mellon scholar, Dov H. Levin, has scoured the historical record for both overt and covert election influence operations. He found 81 by the United States and 36 by the Soviet Union or Russia between 1946 and 2000.

Mr. Levin said. “...the methods they used in this election were the digital version of methods used both by the United States and Russia for decades: breaking into party headquarters, recruiting secretaries, placing informants in a party, giving information or disinformation to newspapers.”

His findings underscore how routine election meddling by the United States — sometimes covert and sometimes quite open — has been.

The precedent was established in Italy with assistance to non-Communist candidates from the late 1940s to the 1960s. “We had bags of money that we delivered to selected politicians, to defray their expenses,” said F. Mark Wyatt, a former C.I.A. officer, in a 1996 interview.

Covert propaganda has also been a mainstay. Richard M. Bissell Jr., who ran the agency’s operations in the late 1950s and early 1960s, wrote casually in his autobiography of “exercising control over a newspaper or broadcasting station, or of securing the desired outcome in an election.”

A self-congratulatory declassified report on the C.I.A.’s work in Chile’s 1964 election boasts of the “hard work” the agency did supplying “large sums” to its favored candidate and portraying him as a “wise, sincere and high-minded statesman” while painting his leftist opponent as a “calculating schemer.”

The United States’ departure from democratic ideals sometimes went much further. The C.I.A. helped overthrow elected leaders in Iran and Guatemala in the 1950s and backed violent coups in several other countries in the 1960s. It plotted assassinations and supported brutal anti-Communist governments in Latin America, Africa and Asia.

This broader history of election meddling has largely been missing from the flood of reporting on the Russian intervention and the investigation of whether the Trump campaign was involved.

The testy exchanges came in the first response to the special counsel’s allegations that the Concord firms financed — and Prigozhin approved and controlled — the operations of a third corporate defendant, the Internet Research Agency of St. Petersburg. Prosecutors contend IRA served as the hub of the ambitious conspiracy and fraud to trick Americans online into following and promoting Russian-fed political propaganda about the campaign.

LET THIS FACT SINK IN:

SOME OF THE 'RUSSIAN INDIVIDUALS' NAMED BY MUELLER DID NOT/DO NOT NOW EXIST.

THE NAMES WERE ATTACHED TO SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS....SOCIAL MEDIA, WHERE HARDLY ANYONE IS WHO THEY CLAIM TO BE, WHERE PSEUDONYMS ARE MORE COMMON THAN BLUE SKIES ON A CLOUDLESS DAY.

MUELLER EXPECTS AMERICANS TO AGREE THAT THEY ARE SO STUPID, SO COMPLETELY DUMBED-DOWN, SO HOPELESSLY GULLIBLE THAT SOMETHING THEY READ ON SOCIAL MEDIA WOULD CAUSE THEM TO CHANGE THEIR VOTE IN A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

IT GETS EVEN CRAZIER AS ONE READS THE ACTUAL TRANSCRIPTS OF THIS LAUGHABLE, ENDLESS CASE.

THE 'RUSSIANS' SHOW UP...SORT OF  

Lawyers defending one of three Russian companies indicted with the 13 Russians, Concord Management, showed up for court, something Mueller probably never dreamed might happen.

Mueller’s team was caught off guard because they never expected this.

They immediately asked the judge for more time but the judge denied their pleas noting that they were the ones who indicted the Russian company in the first place.

As the case proceeded, the Concord attorneys noted that another of the three companies indicted by Mueller was not in existence at the time of Mueller’s indictment. They called this a case of Mueller indicting the proverbial ‘ham sandwich’.

At a subsequent court appearance, the attorneys representing Concord stated that the corrupt Mueller team’s allegations of 13 Russian individuals impacting the 2016 election were “made up” nonsense.

The individuals were not even real.

The Mueller team had tried to align these individuals with Concord Management.

Concord Management’s lawyers revealed that Mueller’s team had ignored over 70 discovery requests they had made for information in the case. In response Mueller’s team offered to give Concord Management’s lawyers a massive amount of social media data from those dangerous trolls who sought to influence the US election and the majority of the data was in RUSSIAN.

Mueller’s team INITIALLY offered to give Concord Management’s lawyers a massive amount of social media data from those 'dangerous trolls' who sought to influence the US election, stating that the majority of it is in RUSSIAN.

When the defense attorneys asked for that to be turned over, SUDDENLY the Mueller team decided that they wouldn't hand over the alleged "proof", citing "national security issues", BUT they admitted they themselves" have NOT translated all those million-plus pages, so the question now becomes, HOW THE HELL DO THEY KNOW THEY HAVE PROOF OF ANYTHING IN THOSE DOCUMENTS?

PLEASE READ THIS AGAIN: Mueller’s lawyers don’t have English translations to the Russian social media posts but we’re supposed to believe we were influenced by these posts MADE IN RUSSIAN?

May 166 2018, Politico reported:

"The contentious but brief court session was the first hearing in the case before Judge Dabney Friedrich.

The fireworks at [the May 16, 2018] hearing came after one of those defense lawyers, Eric Dubelier, complained to Friedrich that the government hadn’t responded to or even acknowledged more than 70 discovery requests he made last month.
Instead, prosecutors have offered a massive quantity of social media data from accounts that were allegedly set up under fake identities for the purpose of influencing American politics.

“There are a lot of defendants in this case,” Dubelier told the court on Wednesday. “It appears we’re the only one that is going to show up.”

“We had a very brief call on Friday initiated by the government,” Dubelier said.
He said prosecutors told him much of the information was in Russian, but they had no translations. “I said, ‘How do you know what’s in it?’”

“I anticipate we are going to get this massive dump of social media accounts in Russian. This is an American court,” the defense attorney added. “That’s not what we’ve asked for. What I’d like to get is information that actually helps us defend our client.”

Prosecutor Jeannie Rhee disputed that prosecutors were being recalcitrant.

Asked by Friedrich whether the case would involve classified information, Rhee replied, “We would hope not, Your Honor.” However, she said some of the materials have “national security sensitivity.”

Friedrich set another hearing in the case for June 15.
THINGS ARE STILL DRAGGING ON AND ON AS MUELLER HUSTLES TO GET WHAT HE WANTS.

The flimsiness of the cases against all the Russians is underscored in this one case Mueller is being forced to prosecute.

Almost immediately, it became clear that Mueller’s 'crack team' (or is it 'Mueller's team on crack'?) was not ready for prime time.

Concord Management’s legal team was back in court October 15 2018, and the hearing didn’t go well for the government...again.

The judge asked some very pointed questions about how the government intended to prove the case. But it wasn’t apparent just how bad the hearing went for Team Mueller until the transcript of the hearing became available.

OCTOBER 'SURPRISES' 
The Defense hits at the Special Counsel.
The Special Counsel didn't have the evidence, so they "make up a new crime that has never been charged in the history of the United States"
"The real Department of Justice" never would have brought these charges.

SO, IF YOU NEED A CHARGE MAKE ONE UP?
AS THE SAYING GOES, 'NECESSITY IS THE MOTHER OF INVENTION' RIGHT?
If the judge lets this insanity fly, it opens the floodgates for millions of Americans to be prosecuted for the same thing Mueller is trying to prosecute imaginary Russians for!

October 23 2018:
MR. DUBELIER: So if that's the theory of liability here, what that means is that if two or more people whether they're Americans or foreign people, pretend to be someone they are not on social media and the government wants to, they can indict you for a 371 violation later. All they would have to say is it was important to the government to know your true identity for some reason or another.

DUBELIER THEN ASKS:

The Special Counsel lawyer appears.

Court (Judge): Don't you need to show they had a legal duty to report w/ the FEC to proceed with a conspiracy charge?

Special Counsel: No.

THE COURT: It's hard to see how revealing identities at political rallies and not revealing identities on social media, how that is evidence of intent to interfere with a U.S. government function as opposed to to confuse voters.

[Note: this means they can be charged even if their conduct and goals were legal]

The Defense got back up, hitting the Special Counsel for interpreting the law so broadly that such charges could turn EVERY anonymous internet users into criminals.

"The supervisors from the Dept of Justice ought to be over here listening to this argument, because this argument is beyond belief"

"They want to be able to regulate what people say on the internet" by removing anonymity.

THERE YOU HAVE IT, GENTLE READERS.
ACCORDING TO THE SPECIAL COUNSEL WE WHO USE PSEUDONYMS ON THE INTERNET, WHO WISH TO BE 'ANONYMOUS' ARE ALL GUILTY OF CONSPIRACY AGAINST THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT.

According to the SC argument, WE are all guilty of conspiracy.

ALL IS QUIET FOR NOW, BECAUSE MUELLER BOUGHT A LITTLE TIME, BUT WHY WOULD HE NEED TIME?

THIS HAS DRAGGED ON FOR A YEAR NOW!
MAYBE HE'S DIGGING UP DIRT ON THE DEFENSE TEAM, THE JUDGE, FIND SOMETHING TO MAKE THEM BACK OFF AND LET HIM PRETEND HE HAS A CASE?

27 Dec 2018
Update: DOJ requests a 30-day extension to review ~3,000 pages of documents. Lots of sealed docs. "the Government will attempt to reach an agreement with the Applicant regarding certain or all of the documents at issue". 

Agreement? We want everything.

New deadline of 1/28/19.

Team Mueller is on the ropes.
Even Mueller-friendly sources seem to think the case is in trouble.
This is from Talking Points Memo:
"The issue is a complicated point of criminal law, but it could jeopardize the only count in the indictment that implicates Russian oligarch Yevgeniy Viktorovich Prigozhin. Concord Management, along with Prigozhin and his other company Concord Catering, are alleged to have funded the internet trolling effort, and have been charged with one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States.
Unlike Concord Management, Prigozhin has not submitted to the court’s jurisdiction and is not actively defending the case.

In a troubling sign for Mueller, Friedrich on Thursday evening ordered prosecutors to file more briefings on the conspiracy to defraud the United States count. The judge’s order came after a hearing Monday, where she grilled prosecutors on what they would need to prove in court.

“If Congress wanted to prohibit any foreign involvement in an election, they could do it, but they didn’t do that,” Concord Management’s attorney Eric Dubelier said at a hearing Monday. “They carved out what you can’t do. They never said to foreign people you can’t talk and say what you want to say about a political candidate in the United States.”

Dabney, in her order Thursday night (OCT.24,, 2018), is now asking for prosecutors to square their arguments during the hearing with what’s alleged in the indictment.
She specifically pointed to lines in the indictment about defendants’ alleged failure to report their lobbying to the Justice Department or their expenditures to the FEC. She also noted the case law prosecutors cited that she said, in doing so, showed them conceding that they have to show that the defendants had a duty to report.

“Should the Court assume for purposes of this motion that neither Concord nor its co-conspirators had any legal duty to report expenditures or to register as a foreign agent?” Friedrich asked in the order. “Specifically, should the Court assume for purposes of this motion that neither Concord nor its co-conspirators knowingly or unknowingly violated any provision, civil or criminal, of FECA or FARA by failing to report expenditures or by failing to register as a foreign agent?”

If the conspiracy charge that Concord Management is attacking is thrown out, other charges in the indictment will stand against other Russian individuals and companies.

The Internet Research Agency — the organization that according to Mueller, employed the social media trolls — was charged with conspiracy to commit bank fraud and wire fraud, as were two individual Russians. Internet Research Agency along with four Russian individuals, have also been charged with aggravated identity theft.

What the Judge is saying is that, as things stand, the conduct listed in the indictment simply doesn’t add up to a violation of the laws alleged in that indictment.

NOTHING ADDS UP, NOTHING EVER DID.
