Readings from the book The Danish Illusion by Flemming Blicher
Chapter One:
The Year 2020
When the-wolf-in-sheep’s-clothings cries wolf!
Over the last three years, after the Corona pandemic, war in the Ukraine and the genocide i Palestine, many Danes have come to realise that all is not well, neither in the little duck pond, nor the greater realm. Speaking for myself, one of the things which awakened the warrior in me was, in 2020-21, the wholesome overriding of sections of the Danish constitution to make way for the “Epidemic Act”. This was in response to actions taken by the World Health Organisation (WHO) who, on 11th March 2020, declared a worldwide pandemic based upon the corona outbreak which occurred in Wuhan, China a few months earlier. After that ‘pronouncement’, things moved on at some pace. Circumstances occurring in the wider world suddenly took on greater importance to the average Dane. We were subjected to pictures of Chinese people dying in the streets of a mystery illness and rolling videos of ambulances transporting sick and dead people in Italy. The message was clear: The Danish people should officially be afraid. Very afraid!
Of course, as sure as night follows day, a group of people were found to have brought the virus home to cozy little Denmark apparently after a skiing holiday in the Alps. The story was endlessly hyped in the media resulting in a mass fear of this new disease ‘Corona’. In the period after, the media spoke of nothing else to the people of Denmark culminating in our Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen proclaiming at countless press conferences that ‘Denmark would never be the same country again’.
How on Earth could she know this?
Nobody questioned this pronouncement for (nearly) all were seized with fear. Indeed, there should be no critical questions addressed at the authorities; but instead ‘community spirit’ had to be demonstrated, a concept which the prime minister mentioned again and again at these numerous press conferences. However, I was not so easily convinced that I should fear a virus that could strike myself or my loved ones to instant death. Put another way, I did not fear corona any more than I feared the annual flu virus.
So, at the time the WHO proclaimed a pandemic - and both the Prime Minister and our Queen at press conferences instilled fear and dread to all who would listen - I was already very critical of the WHO and by the same token, I was therefore also very critical of this wholesome declaration of a ‘pandemic’ and thus also against what I considered the Queen's and the prime minister's fear propaganda.
The W.H.O – The big bad wolf
At the turn of the year 2019/20, I had started an information campaign about electromagnetic
radiation. I was prompted to do this by a meeting which I had with a woman on a course who told
that she was ill from electromagnetic radiation, i.e. the radiation from WiFi, mobile phones and
mobile telephone masts. As an electronics engineer who had previously worked in the mobile industry in past years my interest was pricked and I had to investigate whether she could really be right that this radiation is dangerous for people. It was at the same time as the mobile industry had started to roll out 5G mobile networks all over the world, including in Denmark.
I started to thoroughly investigate the technology, the science and the politics of this industry and I found out that it is the WHO that regulates and determines radiation safety level parameters for the telecommunications industry. Conversely, the WHO also started setting up bodies that act as lobbyist organisations for the telecoms industry, designed to ignore the factual danger of large volumes of electromagnetic radiation from mobile masts, mobile phones, WiFi and other sources of radiation, up to and including seemingly innocent products like ‘Ring’ doorbells and baby alarms.
My own conclusion was quite clear. There are now so many convincing scientific studies that show beyond any reasonable doubt how dangerous electromagnetic radiation is for the human body. I was now in no doubt that the telecoms industry with their concerted 5G campaign, and with the help of their one-sided lobbyists had misled the population, not just in Denmark, but worldwide.
The industry in which I myself had made a career was now responsible for the population being used as Guinea pigs in a huge scientific experiment – namely the rollout of the next generation of mobile networks, dubbed 5G. As I said, I am a fully qualified electronics engineer and have worked with a variety of mobile telecommunication products. In the six years from 1996-2002 I was working for Ericsson. This Swedish company was then the world’s largest telecommunications company and employed approximately 120,000 people worldwide, and even to this day is still one of the largest companies in its field. As the head of a technical department in the Middle East, I had product and support responsibility for Ericsson’s mobile data products through large parts of the region. The technology at the time used in these mobile networks was called GSM and later named ‘2G’ a denominator for the second generation mobile network. During my last months at Ericsson I was involved in selling 3G to local customers in the Middle East. Even at that time, I remember that there were already plans afoot for 4G and 5G and I found it somewhat Utopian that there already existed a road-map for the new technologies which had not even been developed, but I confess that I didn’t really give it much thought at the time.
A few years later from 2010 to 2012 I worked again with the mobile industry; this time, as a sales engineer for the company ACTE, a Nordic wholesale electronic components distributor. I was responsible for selling mobile 2G, 3G and 4G modules to the Danish electronics industry. This time, instead of working with the actual telecom networks, it was the Siemens spin-off company Cinterion, which made up the majority of the mobile products in the product portfolio for which I was responsible. From this experience, I have a technical and professional background in the industry and its technical aspects being fully conversant with mobile products right to the core of their operation. From this I can explain that a 2G network is called 'GSM' (or CDMA in North America), the core of a 3G network is called 'UMTS' (or CDMA2000 in North America), and 4G is referred to as 'LTE'.
A 5G network has a different distributed structure than the 2G, 3G and 4G systems. With 5G the physical core structure of the network consists of a network of ultra high capacity fibre cables instead of actual ‘new’ technology. The new technology itself sits in the extremely advanced 5G nodes at the end of the core fibre network. Therefore, there is no special designation for the core network in 5G, making it distinct from the older systems of generational mobile networks. This is because the powerful 5G network hubs, or nodes, contain basically all technical aspects of the network. In the older systems the telephone exchange switching technology and the controlling of the radio base stations are separate nodes, whereas everything is combined in the 5G nodes. This is fundamentally different to the way in which the previous iterations of 2G, 3G and 4G operate.
At this point, it is therefore important to understand that the telecommunications companies misled the population when, in 2020 they made press releases proclaiming the rollout of 5G in Denmark. There was not actually an existing ‘5G’ network in place in Denmark in 2020 to rollout the 5G technology and it was ‘misleading’ of the companies to say that they had a working ‘fifth generation network’ at all. The mere fact that the powerful fibre network was not in place makes it impossible for the 5G network to operate as such. Of course, what we actually had, and what the telecoms companies persuaded us to accept, was an ‘upgraded’ 4G network which embraced new antenna technology providing a 10-fold increase in data speed to the consumer over the existing 4G network. What we actually got in 2020 was extra technology advances of the 4G network and not 5G at all. The network rollout should have been dubbed 4G+ or 4.5G. Indeed, we found that the Danish telecom network operators like TDC, Telia and Hutchison 3G (normally referred to as “3”) had rolled out antenna and radio base station upgrades for 4G, not 5G!
My description here is somewhat a simplification of reality. In essence, true to the reality was that the telecoms companies oversold their rollout of 5G, as this rollout had very little to do with a new generational telecom network. Jumping on the bandwagon, were the mobile phone manufacturers – Apple, Samsung, LG, Huawei etc. who all puffed their chests out propagating their 5G products which weren’t in fact 5G at all, but only 4G+. These manufacturers knew very well that the 5G network was not in place and furthermore mislead the consumer (already eager to lap up the new technology) into thinking that it was. The consumer was treated to ‘demonstrations’ of this ‘new’ technology. For example the Danish Engineers Trade Magazine (Ingeniørnes Fagblad) published an article describing how TDC were testing 5G in Elsinore (the home of Shakespeare's Hamlet) in December 2019. The only problem was that it was not 5G that was tested! All that was really presented for the consumers was a demonstration of an upgrade to the existing 4G network, which achieved an increase of the possible achieved data speed.
So, in a rather general and simplified way, the telecoms industry can be divided into three groups; the infrastructure producers, the smartphone producers and the telecommunications companies who sell mobile subscriptions to end users. Without labouring the point, all three groups misled their customers – the gullible Mr & Mrs Public - when they told the entire outside world that their consumers were now using the 5G network. Because, as I just have said above; there is no 5G network in place. At least there wasn't in 2020.
At this juncture, the public must now surely and immediately ask themselves the following question: Why would the telecoms industry mislead, or let’s not be coy here, LIE to them, the general population and their customers about 5G? It is difficult to answer and therefore also difficult to pass on the answer to others. However, I think that there are several different reasons as to why the truth is not told. The easy explanation is that the telecoms have found a yet another new way to make money, and are eager to cash in. I certainly have no doubt that the industry is very conscious of what they are doing, and therefore I also have a suggestion for a second answer, which may not necessarily be the definitive and 100% correct answer. When the industry now knows, via the many thousands of scientific studies that exist in this area that mobile radiation is as dangerous as it is, and at the same time they are facing their biggest golden opportunity in the entire history of the same industry, then that industry has to think creatively. Therefore, the industry started to develop a 5G technology in parallel with developing a strategy to downplay the criticism and ignore the harmful effects of the technology. Basically, if you like, they refused to examine or pay any credence to the negative consequences of this strategy. So the more the industry can misinform us about 5G, the greater the chances that we as a population do not ask too many sharp questions about it. Questions like why the telecommunications companies participate silently in the process of installing the perfect surveillance system. Because that's what the real 5G is! It is a network where everything is fully monitored twenty-four hours a day and it is conceivable that a government body or a private company could use the network as a weapon against the population. Let's hope there's never anyone who feels like doing that but I want the reader to know that it is now beyond any doubt that the possibility exists.
