Dutch State Secretary for Economic Affairs and Climate Policy Mona Keijzer recently confirmed a connection between 5G cellular technology and the ability to wirelessly and invisibly control large gatherings of people.
“Also increasingly in new possibilities that the 5G technology will offer us are crowd control with more and more people. So it is also important that you can respond to incidents quickly and adequately at large events,” Keijzer said recently.
“So…it is not something for the fun…when it comes to streaming good films, for example. But it is also something that offers new opportunities. That will offer us benefits as a society and it is also a topic that other countries are also developing very hard on.”
A millimeter wave technology that allows wavelengths to travel at much faster speeds, 5G is being installed at a rapid pace in this country and in countries all over the world.
It emits a much higher level of radiation than other networks, the 2G through 4G networks that most devices are running on now. 5G focuses the radio frequency into a beam called a millimeter wave. Millimeter waves allow you to transmit data much faster but they shorten the range the data can travel. The result is a wave that is hyperactive and expends energy quicker.
Independent media outlets have reported for years that 5G technology could be as part of an “Active Denial System,” a non-lethal energy weapons system designed for area denial, perimeter security and crowd control. Such reports have routinely been labeled as disinformation until now.
Waves emitted in 5G frequency give an intense burning sensation when in contact with human skin, making the skin feel as though it was on fire and forcing the person to evacuate an area immediately.
“The system is state of the art technology, it’s not widely known…a lot of perceptions and misconceptions about what the system is and what it isn’t. It is a millimeter wave system, it is not a microwave,” said Marine Col. Tracy Tafolla, director of the US DoD Joint Non-Lethal Weapons Directorate, in 2012.
“It could be used across the military spectrum of operations, perimeter security, crowd control, entry control points. You name it. I think our forces will figure out the many different applications that it would have,” he said.
In July 2020 James Taiclet, CEO of military contractor Lockheed, said 5G networks will be key to bolstering the U.S. military’s autonomous capabilities. He said he envisioned fully 50% to 75% of military vehicles being autonomous and a robust 5G network was crucial to making that happen.
President Trump spent much of the last year pressuring U.S. companies and foreign allies to exclude Chinese companies from building crucial elements of their 5G infrastructure, citing threats to national security.
