Human experimentation needs individual informed consent

| August 16, 2020 1:00 AM

Elon Musk’s, SpaceX Starlink 5G was constructed last month on Colburn Culver — a mile from Northside Elementary School with testing between 11-17 GHz over Idaho and other northern states from the 42 to 50 degree latitude. You guessed it — Elon Musk does not live in these latitudes. The microwave radiation is much higher than our third and fourth generation of .6 to 2.5 GHz for wireless communications. The FCC has never assessed the human or animal health impact of these high radiation emissions from 50,000 satellites or any other existing and potential adverse environmental effects.

I have open arms for those who come here and embrace our precious environment and freedom-loving community. But for those coming here who care nothing for our environment, our freedoms, or heart-to-heart fellowship, but want to exploit our towns and our county, force human experiments, we do not welcome this exploitation. We are not test subjects. We do not consent. Sign a petition for safe technology and for a hearing addressing SpaceX. Ask to sign the petitions at Winter Ridge or the Army Navy Store in Sandpoint.
