State of the Nation Address 2019 – 5G, Fourth Industrial Revolution, Smart Cities

Editor — Fri, 21 Jun 2019 12:30:42 +0000

The President endorses 5G:

-High tech industry expansion

-Communications minister Stella Ndabeni-Abrahams will issue a policy direction to communications regulator Icasa within a month (the industry is desperate to begin deployment of 5G technology)

-Fourth Industrial Revolution

-Coding and data analytics at a primary school level

-National Development Plan

-High-speed trains, megacities

-High-tech economy , e-health, robotics, remote medicine – National Health Insurance

-China, “a new Beijing” the President’s dream for South Africa

-Smart agriculture

Excerpts from President Ramaphosa’s 2019 SONA Address:

“We will expand our high tech industry by ensuring that the legal and regulatory framework promotes innovation, scaling up skills development for young people in new technologies, and reducing data costs. Wherever we have gone young people have continuously raised the issue of the excessive high data costs in South Africa.

To provide impetus to this process, within the next month, the Minister of Communications will issue the policy direction to Icasa to commence the spectrum licensing process.

This process will include measures to promote competition, transformation, inclusive growth of the sector and universal access.

This is a vital part of bringing down the costs of data, which is essential both for economic development and for unleashing opportunities for young people.

We call on the telecommunications industry further to bring down the cost of data so that it is in line with other countries in the world.

We will continue to develop programmes to ensure that economically excluded young people are work ready and absorbed into sectors where ‘jobs demand’ is growing.

These sectors include global business processing services, agricultural value chains, technical installation, repair and maintenance and new opportunities provided through the digital economy and the fourth industrial revolution.

Government will support tech-enabled platforms for self-employed youth in rural areas and townships.

We also have to prepare our young people for the jobs of the future.

This is why we are introducing subjects like coding and data analytics at a primary school level.

If we are to reinvigorate the implementation of the National Development Plan, we must cast our sights on the broadest of horizons.

We want a South Africa wherein all enjoy comfort and prosperity.

But we also want a South Africa where we stretch our capacities to the fullest as we advance along the superhighway of progress.

We want a South Africa that has prioritised its rail networks, and is producing high-speed trains connecting our megacities and the remotest areas of our country.

We should imagine a country where bullet trains pass through Johannesburg as they travel from here to Musina, and they stop in Buffalo City on their way from Ethekwini back here.

We want a South Africa with a high-tech economy where advances in e-health, robotics and remote medicine are applied as we roll out the National Health Insurance.

We want a South Africa that doesn’t simply export its raw materials but has become a manufacturing hub for key components used in electronics, in automobiles and in computers.

We must be a country that can feed itself and that harnesses the latest advances in smart agriculture.

I dream of a South Africa where the first entirely new city built in the democratic era rises, with skyscrapers, schools, universities, hospitals and factories.

This dream has been fueled by my conversations with four people: Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, Dr Naledi Pandor, Ms Jessie Duarte and President Xi Jinping, whose account of how China is building a new Beijing has helped to consolidate my dream.

Has the time not arrived to build a new smart city founded on the technologies of the 4th Industrial Revolution?

I would like to invite South Africans to begin imaging this prospect.STATE OF THE NATION ADDRESS BY PRESIDENT CYRIL RAMAPHOSA

Presentations: Health in Buildings Roundtable Conference held at the NIH

Understanding EMFs

Wireless Education

All talks are less than 10 minutes for easy sharing; Q&A are also included (sincere thanks to health journalist Nick Pineault, for clipping most of these):

The Backstory:

This summer I was honored to be asked to co-chair a technology panel at the Health in Buildings Roundtable Conference which was coincidentally held at the NIH (though not formally commissioned by the NIH).

The experts on the panel addressing wireless radiation were:

Dr. Martin Pall to present scientific reviews of the EMF/EMR biological harm and the urgency to stop 5G

Retired Microsoft Canada President Frank Clegg to indicate the industry can do better

Environmental Health Trust Executive Director Theodora Scarato to discuss the need to protect especially children

Clear Light Ventures CEO Peter Sullivan to explore safe technology solutions

Each talk is short, less than 10 minutes, but together detail the very serious risks of today’s wireless technology, what other countries are already doing to protect their citizens, and what we all need to know to protect our loved ones and our communities here and now.

The Urgency

Our world scientists are indicating today’s electrosmog is bringing the worst public health crisis technologically advanced nations have ever seen.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is preparing to release the final report on the $25M National Toxicology Program study in which the unprecedented three-day peer review concluded cell phone radiofrequency radiation is a clear carcinogen.

All wireless technology uses radiofrequency radiation to carry our data packets back and forth and it was never safety tested before being brought to market.

Even the IEEE, which helped form the untested thermal-based FCC public radiation exposure limits in the 1990s, is conceding wireless technology is hazardous at the non-thermal level. See their cancer article in the September/October 2018 issue of IEEE Microwave Magazine.

As Dr. Pall indicates, the effects of wireless radiation exposures are cumulative. Serious harm is happening now with current exposures, some of which is already becoming irreversible.

He indicates the industry’s push for more wireless infrastructure to enable 5G and the Internet of Things (IoT) “is absolutely insane”. Yet the industry remains intent on being first to market with 5G and the Internet of Things.

Public policy will take time to catch up to the science, it could be decades, but the harm is happening right now so we cannot afford to wait for new laws to protect us.

I know this can be a lot to take in, but without the public becoming educated and speaking up, the wireless industry will continue to aggressively push their agenda. They are lobbying right now to get legislation in place at the federal and state levels to take away our towns’ right to say if or where we want 5G telecom infrastructure in our communities.

We are bio-electrical beings and this constant exposure to microwave radiation pulses is hampering our cell to cell electrical signaling and causing a cascade of detrimental health effects. Quite simply, we are not built to stand this kind of man-made radiation assault.

It is imperative that we all come up to speed quickly and open this conversation with others before the industry puts toxic 5G antennas inside our neighborhoods, every 2 to 12 houses outside our bedrooms. They’ve already quietly begun these “small cell” installations in a lot of communities and people are already getting sick without knowing why.

Educate Your Community

Please find the courage to share this information. Your family, friends, schools, doctors, local municipal leaders, state and federal legislators all deserve the right to know.

As a Harvard report indicates, very few know wireless technology is hazardous as the credible science showing harm has been suppressed from the public in big tobacco fashion. We’re not yet getting this information from mainstream media, which has conflicts of interest with industry advertising revenue.

The industry keeps pushing the convenience and economic opportunity of wireless with no information on the serious risks so we, and our legislators, keep buying into “smart” technology.

Yet with a little education folks begin to connect the dots as to why they or their children don’t sleep well anymore, why they have skin rashes/tingling, headaches, nosebleeds, ringing in the ears, irregular heartbeats, fatigue, brain fog, memory loss, anxiety, depression, behavior issues, etc.

Many are thrilled to discover their health issues disappear or go way down when they choose to reduce wireless radiation exposures.

What we don’t feel in the short-term though, is that cumulative exposure is mounting and can cause DNA damage, neurological issues, adult and child cancers, early onset Alzheimer’s, infertility, autism and more.

Future harm can be avoided with safe hard-wired devices indoors, and infrastructure that brings cable/copper/fiber-optics to the premises instead of wireless radiation antennas mounted outside or in sky-based satellites. When we’re on the go, we can learn to use mobile devices sparingly, away from our bodies in active mode, and in airplane mode when not in use.

Tools to Start the Conversation

We are very lucky today to have not only the NTP study and expert talks to share, but the award-winning film Generation Zapped. The latter was released in July, and is a great way to learn about this issue from the experts.

We also have the half-hour on-line courses from the non-profit Wireless Education which can quickly train families, communities, schools and workplaces on the risks and how to use technology safely.

Feel free to also share information from my research repository to help open the conversation. I have pages for schools, municipal leaders, and legislators. They’ll find all the science, risks and solutions there.

Please, for the sake of our collective children, take the time to personally investigate this if you haven’t already. Many of our doctors, engineers, technologists and physicists have been kept in the dark too and may unwittingly be passing along outdated misinformation.

Let’s all do what we can from where we are to shift from reliance on toxic wireless technology to building safer hard-wired infrastructure. Let’s share information on how to use today’s mobile technology more safely until industry brings biologically safe mobile technology to market. Microsoft’s Frank Clegg assures us the industry can do better, if given a nudge.

We need to educate others, and quickly, else we’ll all have 5G cell towers in the public access way right outside our homes pulsing radiation at us 24×7.
