This media release was published by the Association
for Protection against Radiation as of July 17, 2023.

2
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,960
Kla.TV is publishing an abridged version.

3
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:11,680
A marketing coup without equal.

4
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:17,934
SALT announces that it is teaming up with Elon
Musk's SpaceX to supply the population with

5
00:00:17,934 --> 00:00:21,200
5G even in the remotest corner of Switzerland.

6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:28,760
What some celebrate as a triumph of technology is a development
that Protection against Radiation views with concern.

7
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:34,678
In particular because of the risk of
increased radiation to which people and animals

8
00:00:34,678 --> 00:00:38,200
outdoors are exposed from irradiation from above.

9
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:43,160
So at SALT they are proud of the new
partnership with the American corporation.

10
00:00:43,160 --> 00:00:45,240
But what is the point of all this?

11
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:52,438
Even today, SALT already has mobile network
coverage of 99.9 percent, which apparently is still not

12
00:00:52,438 --> 00:00:56,000
enough. SALT wants to achieve complete coverage.

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,920
But how sensible is that in a country that already
has one of the best mobile networks in the world?

14
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:09,271
Critical voices Even today, researchers around
the world are warning about the pollution of the

15
00:01:09,271 --> 00:01:12,480
night sky by the countless satellites in space.

16
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:18,562
In the renowned science magazine Nature, an open letter appeared
in which researchers point out with concern

17
00:01:18,562 --> 00:01:23,080
that aircraft are already interfering with
important images from the Hubble Space Telescope.

18
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:28,080
In addition to light pollution, another
environmental disaster is looming in space.

19
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,120
The lifespan of the Starlink satellites is around five years.

20
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:35,600
After that, they burn up in the
uppermost layer of the Earth's atmosphere.

21
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,560
Out of sight, out of mind? By no means.

22
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,680
What remains are the materials used, above all aluminum.

23
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:48,836
With the tens of thousands of satellites from different
manufacturers, the aluminum concentration threatens to

24
00:01:48,836 --> 00:01:54,880
rise to dangerous levels, which ultimately also
damages the ozone layer that protects against UV radiation.

25
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,960
Irradiation from above

26
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,800
And what additional radiation exposure
can be expected from such satellites?

27
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:07,600
That is still difficult to estimate at the moment, says
Rebecca Meyer, president of Protection from Radiation.

28
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,400
But it is clearly measurable.

29
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,440
The manufacturers claim that the
radiation is extremely strongly focused.

30
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:20,420
In fact, however, a wide area around the receiver
is irradiated because the signal scatters over the

31
00:02:20,420 --> 00:02:24,120
550 km distance from the satellite's orbit to Earth.

32
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:29,302
Already today there are clear indications that insect
populations in particular are endangered in

33
00:02:29,302 --> 00:02:32,560
Switzerland by the constantly increasing radiation exposure.

34
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:37,800
Even if the Federal Council does not recognize
this, as we showed in the last contribution.

35
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:44,720
In addition, Rebecca Meyer points out that an
increase in people damaged by radiation is to be expected.

36
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:52,760
Already today, 10% of the Swiss population states that
their health or well-being is impaired by radiation.

37
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:54,840
Unfortunately, the trend is rising.

38
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:00,196
In addition, there is a risk that the head will
heat up too much when making phone calls with

39
00:03:00,196 --> 00:03:02,960
a normal smartphone via a satellite connection.

40
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,360
Although there are guideline values, the
smartphone needs a certain amount of power

41
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,640
to be able to establish a data connection.

42
00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:14,840
Exceedances of the permitted
transmission power are therefore to be expected.

43
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:20,080
It will still take quite some time before the
innovation announced by SALT becomes reality.

44
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,640
Nevertheless, Elon Musk's roadmap is known.

45
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:26,920
Internet everywhere. Reception everywhere and at all times.

46
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:31,040
For the tech visionaries, radiation
exposure is also set to increase from above.

47
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:38,120
To the detriment of the population, the animals and
plants, which are all thereby exposed to increased radiation.

48
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,816
We therefore call on the Federal Council to
formulate regulations also for data connections into space

49
00:03:43,816 --> 00:03:46,720
that take the precautionary principle into account.

50
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:54,280
And we encourage you to continue to consistently stand up against
planned 5G transmission facilities in your residential area.

51
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,286
With the tactic of filing objections
against as much expansion as possible, we have all

52
00:03:59,286 --> 00:04:01,760
together put the brakes on the 5G network.

53
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,400
It is worth it. You have the last word.

54
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:12,823
