I see Covid 19 is gathering momentum with the nutcases, apparently people have been trying to bring down or set fire to 5G towers

I was perusing Instagram earlier and came across this guy on the Mercedes Benz page

WTF?

[AlanQS]

It is proof that the people who readily believe shite like this are complete morons without any ability for any sort of analytical thinking.

As for the people who spread this shite, they are just making it up and for less than altruistic reasons. The one person who definitely doesn't believe a word is the shite-bag who wrote it.

His rantings are so ridiculous, it would be amusing if it were not for the fact that too many people believe it, without any evidence whatsoever. The electromagnetic spectrum can somehow affect biological material combined with blatantly wrong statements about virus is the kind of wild statements that you get from creationists and young earth supporters.

[Abzynthe]

Surely if we are in the Matrix, we have no power over it regardless until we take the red pill...

[JustChris]

Good reference to the MATRIX in one of his replies

[Mr Burt]

Utter garbage!
The product of this deluded individual is networks and masts are being attacked which is disrupting key services including the fight against Covid-19.
While the world struggles to deal with this horrific outbreak all this individual can do is peddle nonsense to the weak minded.
Baseball bat anyone!

While I agree that this guy is a proper nut job, your comment about the electromagnetic spectrum is a way off factual.

At the right (or wrong) frequencies, they can very much affect biological material. Your microwave oven wouldn't work very well if they didn't.

Agree most of these people are complete whack jobs, but don't forget the people who may have wider mental health issues.

Many people can be susceptible to this kind of garbage and use it as a way of explaining or understanding things to themselves. If your reasoning is impaired and you come across something like this that explains why your usual routine, network or way of coping has suddenly changed it could be absolutely true in your own mind.

A friend or at least he was a few years ago believed every conspiracy theory going, he eventually tried to top himself by jumping off the Runcorn Bridge and attacked the daughter of a local family, he ended up in the mental unit of Whiston Hospital.

I haven’t seen him for years but am friends with him on FB and he peddles this kind of shite on a regular basis, he’s got himself to the point where he lives in an alternative reality!

Alternative reality = the matrix? 😉

[1966-TR4]

I've yet to see a 5G theorist explain what the masts are for if everybody dies.

[225]

I just wish the Government would use its deep state powers for the wider good by keeping a log of all the nutters like this and make them disappear.

[SantaEugence]

Had this exact 'debate' with a friend the other day. It was so frustrating because literally it's so clearly nothing to do with 5g that your counter argument falls back to - you're an idiot.
They seem so indoctrinated, any logical point is usually met with 'that's what they want you to believe' or the classic 'bought into the mainstream media rhetoric have you'. Even when faced with - what about the countries that haven't got 5g or they aren't turn on, response - well people who were already effected must have travelled there then

[TouringPleb]

Anything being spread by Amanda Holden and Lee from Blue has my full respect and attention

It is only "way off factual" because I didn't go into detail, in the same way that you didn't either. The 5G wavelengths are longer than microwaves, (i.e., less dangerous) nor are they concentrated into a small box and you neglected to show how wavelengths of light can create a biological virus (albeit, ultra violet can damage biological items) but certainly not create them. I suppose if you climbed a 5G mast and stuck your head against a working transmitter for many hours, it might cause some harm but I've never seen that practice recommended.

I wasn't suggesting that wavelengths of light can create a biological virus. This is clearly bonkers. I was just pointing out that it can affect biological material, which you suggested it couldn't.

Also, last time I checked, an increase in frequency reduces the wavelength.

My concern here would be that these 5G activists somehow destroy a mast that is helping to support the emergency services.

At the moment all emergency services use a system called Airwave.

The Police are meant to be moving over to a 5G system at some point but apparently, as per usual, it's running over budget and over time.

[TiredGeek]

This lot get to vote on Brexit, who the government is, whether Scotland leaves the UK, stuff like that.
No wonder we're in deep deep shite

I know a large chunk of priority data is now over ESN800 on EE/MBNL, TETRA will be phased out at some point and not soon enough.

I remember being on the TETRA network rollout back in 2000 when I was at Arqiva (Formally ntl and had to attend a town hall committee to get planning consent for a Tetra macro. it was like the damn whicker man!

Welcome back (again) mate

Hope you've cast your eye around off-topic and realised just how many thread titles are now formed in the M40CCA style? What trend do create?

PS. I can't see the pic you posted, on my app at least.

PPS. How is lockdown with the many, many, children you have, intense?

[RobUK]

I hear Mr Ike was interviewed on London Live and made reference to an "electro-magnetic technologically generated soup of radiation toxicity", which he claimed has damaged old people's immune systems.

He's obviously keeping himself busy.
