Glastonbury Festival-goers Are Walking into an EMF Minefield

This
weekend, a group of us drove around the site of Glastonbury Festival in
Pilton, Somerset UK). We had an electromagnetic field radiation
detector that was continually bleeping alarmingly and flashing red,
indicating that the EMFs it was detecting were way above World Health
Organisation recommended safety levels. They were penetrating on to the
main road which runs past the site, and there were several hotspots in
the quaint little village of Pilton itself, including the village hall
and the Working Men’s Club.
A
couple of weeks before, I had attended a meeting of Pilton’s parish
council. It was standing room only as residents packed in to express
their dismay about a telecommunications mast that had been erected,
without any consultation with them, in the children’s skate-board park.
Engineers had informed one of them that it was going to be made “5G
ready” at the end of May, in time for the music festival.
We are now beginning to receive reports from inside the site of
dangerously high levels of EMFs. On-site workers have been reporting
bad headaches, nose bleeds and digestive issues. And this is all before
the bulk of the campers arrive on Wednesday. So one can only assume that
matters will get far worse once hundreds of thousands of smart phones
turn up.
5G technology was installed at Glastonbury Festival this year by EE as part of a governmental agenda called 5G Rural First.
This is a promotional push dreamed up by urbanite marketeers that
purports to be about giving better internet access to country dwellers.
In reality, though, good folks have paid £250 a ticket to be used as
guinea-pigs in a 1.4 square mile test bed for an untested technology
that could have serious implications for their health.
Partners of 5G Rural First include
US telecommunications giant Cisco, Microsoft, the BBC and British
Telecom, the owners of EE who are bringing 5G to Glastonbury Festival.
5G
Rural First also has testbeds on the Orkney Islands and Shropshire and
it claims its technology will help dairy cows perform better.
But they are ignoring the evidence of 230 scientists and doctors who
are appealing to the World Health Organisation to move the 5G wireless
signal from a Group 2B carcinogen to a Group 1, the same as asbestos and
arsenic.
They
believe that the dangers to health from 5G include increased cancer
risk, cellular stress, harmful free radicals, genetic damages,
structural and functional changes to the reproductive system, learning
and memory deficits, neurological disorders, and negative impacts on
general well-being. And the damage goes well beyond the human race;
there is growing evidence of harmful effects to plants, insects and
animals.
So where are the protests to halt this threat to our health and wellbeing?
Well,
we cannot turn to Extinction Rebellion for help. Last month’s
state-organised protests by their “actorvists” against climate change,
which brought central London to a standstill, were to provide
“hearts-and-minds” support for the zero-carbon-by-2050 promises made by Theresa May in the dying days of her premiership that, unwittingly or not, will bankrupt the country over 30 years.
One
of Extinction Rebellion’s founder directors, Gail Bradbrook, went on to
head up Citizen’s Online as a “digital inclusion strategy specialist
consulting with a wide range of clients such as EE, London Connects and
the Cabinet Office.” There is also a former head of Exxon Mobil on its
board as well as Lord Anthony Tudor St. John, a senior consultant to
Merrill-Lynch and legal counsel to Shell. Shell is heavily invested in
the satellite and aerospace industries which will be involved in the
roll-out of 5G.
So
what about the Greens? Surely they will be concerned about a new
technology that will require the culling of thousands of trees, to
successfully transmit its signals? Well, Caroline Lucas and Co were very
late to the party. As recently as September last year, she was supporting the “smart agenda”, although the Greens are now talking about conducting a moratorium while the safety risks are assessed.
Glastonbury
Town Council, made up largely of Greens, has also been foot-dragging on
the issue. It is only now making efforts to catch up with the local
grassroots anti-5G movement which had been vigorously trying to draw
their attention to the problem for months. However, it is too little,
too late. One of the worse EMF hotspots we found on Sunday was when we
drove past the entrance to the Chalice Well Gardens at the bottom of
Coursing Batch, just before the town.
Glastonbury
Town Council is not responsible for the festival site at Pilton, which
is in its own parish, and that is why so many of us attended their
parish council meeting a few weeks ago. However, it has made no
difference.
Michael Eavis, the
festival’s farmer founder whose daughter Emily now heads up the
four-day event, was leafleted by a local campaigner in Tesco’s the other
day.
She said he got annoyed with her and replied:
“Young people are the cause. I bet you have a phone.”
In
response, she pulled out of her bag a decidedly unsmart, out-of-date
Nokia that, she informed him, was only used for emergencies.
Eavis then told her that he didn’t own a mobile phone. Make of that what you will.
