SpaceX 5G Satellite Protest
Hawthorne, California 1 Rocket Road, Hawthorne, CA, United StatesJoin us and people around the world as we demand an immediate halt to 5G satellites & technology on earth & in space unless proven safe... as we call for safer and wiser technology options.
Up to 100,000 low earth orbit satellites, complementary earth base stations & millions more cell antennas (aka User Terminals) have been approved by the FCC. SpaceX and other companies are now deploying satellites to provide 5G wireless internet to every corner of the globe, blanketing the entire planet in wireless radiation with potentially devastating consequences to all of life.
Environmental dangers abound. They include:
• depletion of the ozone layer
• cyberattacks costing $ trillions
• pollution from rocket launches (exhaust gases, black carbon, alumina, toxic chemicals)
• space debris & collisions – Kessler Effect
• vast increase in energy consumption
• climate impacts from manufacturing & disposal of all connected “things” & infrastructure
• interference with the global electrical circuit
• potential disruption to satellites & connected IoT networks from solar flares
• effects on navigation & survival of wildlife
• further militarization of space

Is Russia truly our enemy? Should we risk nuclear war?
WebinarBruce Gagnon has been to Russia and Ukraine several times in the last couple of years including leading a delegation of 25 on a study tour of Russia in 2019. The purpose of the tour was to listen, learn, and stand against the constant demonization of Russia by the media across the west. The idea was to build people-to-people bridges between our nations rather than an escalating arms race which could bring us WW III. During the WW II Nazi invasion of the former Soviet Union 27 million citizens lost their lives from the fascist attacks and occupation. The memory...

Saturday, June 5, 2021
15:15-16:15: Panel: Star Wars: 21st Century Missile Defence with Lynda Williams, Dave Webb & Bruce Gagnon. Moderator: Mary Beth Sullivan. The push to move the arms race into space is accelerating dramatically. The US is pulling out of arms control treaties and refusing to negotiate a total ban on weapons in space at the United Nations. At the same time the Pentagon is provocatively encircling Russia and China with ‘Missile Defense’ systems (the shield) that is a key element in first-strike attack planning. The nuclear industry also views space as a new market for their deadly product with planned nuclear mining colonies, nuclear reactors on rockets to Mars and nuclear reactors to power space-based weapons systems.
