The investigative filmmaker Klaus Scheidsteger has been working on the subject of mobile
communications for almost exactly 20 years.
In 2006, the French broadcaster France 2 aired its first critical 50-minute report on the
state of science at the time in prime time.
Co-production partner MDR shortened the contribution for ARD to just under 30 minutes and "hid" it in the
morning program of MDR, even without announcing the program!
Isn't that called censorship?
But Klaus Scheidsteger was not discouraged.
He went on to produce cinema documentaries and helped organize international congresses with his
connections to scientists from all over the world.
The example of Klaus Scheidsteger shows that it is only possible to publish well-founded critical information on topics
such as 5G outside the increasingly synchronized "mainstream".
Please help to break through this mainstream censorship by sharing the following
Scheidsteger documentary in your personal environment.
In this documentary, Scheidsteger expresses his great concern for health resorts in Germany.
Can spa guests still recover at all in the face of massively increasing radiation exposure?
How is nature, how are the children?
The following film shows the encouraging work of a citizens' initiative from Bad Liebenzell in the northern Black
Forest, which is actively trying to defend itself against seemingly overpowering politics and the mobile phone lobby.
The citizens' initiative educates citizens with the help of experts, because education is very much needed.
It is an issue that concerns us all.

"Clarification very much needed" - The Bad Liebenzell citizens' initiative and 5G
Bad Liebenzell, a typical spa town in the northern Black Forest.
The fresh air, the forest, the thermal water - all this creates an atmosphere of relaxation.
According to the local advertising strategists - a place of power for health and well-being.
People from all over Germany and neighboring European countries make a pilgrimage to Bad Liebenzell in search of relaxation.
But much to the chagrin of most local politicians, the picture-book idyll has been disturbed in recent
years by a 5G mobile communications citizens' initiative.
Concerned citizens regularly organize information events to draw attention to problems that are
often played down by industry and politicians.
Cure and increased radiation do not go together.
That is why a courageous woman founded the Bad Liebenzell citizens' initiative and is fighting against the total expansion
of mobile communications with all means at her disposal.
Like scientists from all over the world, she is calling for a halt to the expansion of 5G technology.
But can 5G be stopped at all?
"I think it can be stopped.
The only way to stop it is to educate all citizens everywhere at European level, all over the world.
And that something is also done at municipal level, especially in this area."
"How did you get on with it? Have you always found open ears?"
"Partly yes, partly I have found open ears.
And then we have also noticed time and again from the citizens' initiative that there
is also a lot of ignorance among many people.
They say: 5G is great, we need 5G.
But these backgrounds, when you explain the disadvantages, people say we don't even know that.
We have already noticed that there is a lot of ignorance about this too.
In fact, this means that there is still a great need for clarification.
In the nearby forests around Bad Liebenzell in particular, new transmitters have already been
installed and existing ones upgraded with regard to 5G.
In her signature campaign, Jutta Stern collected over 10,000 signatures against the 5G
expansion. Over 50 percent of the population.
It is trying to find partners at the local political level who will not ignore the concerns of the citizens'
initiative and will take people's concerns seriously.
She may be a thorn in the side of many, but word of her activism has gotten around and she is being recognized.
"It's great that she keeps putting up posters, even paying out of her own pocket, so to speak.
That she organizes events that take place here on the market square, where she engages people and asks: Can't you come
and do something here? - and then also collects signatures.
And I admire the energy with which she goes through it.
And not only in Bad Liebenzell, but also in Karls.
It goes a bit further into the surrounding area. So that's a really great thing, yes."
At European level, the "STOA Committee" - a committee of the European Parliament - has examined the health effects of 5G and
clearly defined that, in the summary of the study results of the mobile phone frequency ranges used to date, there is evidence of
carcinogenic potential as well as negative effects on fertility.
There are no adequate studies on 5G in the higher frequency range. This is why the "STOA study"
describes 5G as an experiment on the population.
The authors of the study call for a halt to 5G expansion, further research into the high 5G frequencies, education of the
population and a focus on the expansion of fiber optic networks.
"Of course, the mobile phone lobby knows about the damage to health and so do the
politicians. But we citizens are keeping it secret.
And 5G transmitters are quietly being installed there without our knowledge.
There will be no public consultation and nothing.
There is no independent investigation and nothing is being done. And that's why all of Germany's
citizens' initiatives are working together on this."
For Ms. Stern, one thing is certain: anyone who claims that 5G is harmless is passing off ignorance as knowledge.
Here in the Black Forest, it is often very ordinary people who speak from the heart when they observe the accumulation
of masts in their surroundings and what this could do to us.
"We have enough problems as a federal state.
But that's the biggest problem, because it's part of globalization. And we are dependent on America.
And that's really the case... There are so many interests that it's almost impossible to keep up with.
But there are people who perhaps somehow think that life can be easier and perhaps safer.
You don't necessarily need this great digitalization or the great leaps in order to then use people as defenceless creatures.
We often live much more happily with simple means."
What is really in store for us in the course of comprehensive and complete digitization?
What is being destroyed in humans and nature?
Well, mobile communications technology has always had a military connection. And 5G is also a military project in many areas.
The Bundeswehr is being digitized according to the motto: If you don't digitize, you lose.
The NATO countries are now pushing ahead with the digital networking of combat troops.
Research is carried out in secret, even in the forests around Bad Liebenzell, as Heinrich Christl knows:
"Well, you can't get any further.
And the area is also really secretly monitored.
And this sign "CITA" was the first thing I noticed back then. And it's all around the forest here.
Yes, you can walk everywhere here, in all the forests here.
Only here there's only the path around the outside and there's no chance of getting into the forest."
Heinrich Christl had many discussions with local residents and heard about increasing problems since 2019.
Right from the time when the Black Forest was obviously used for military purposes.
"That's newer too. It's been there since 5G. So it's all so dense here.
So if someone has problems there, they can no longer sleep if they have a certain so-called electrosensitivity."
Environmental analyst, measurement technician and building biologist Dietrich Moldan can tell you a thing or two about it.
More and more electrosensitive people are requesting his services and having their personal environment examined and analyzed by
Dr. Moldan due to sleep disorders, burnout or similar symptoms.
Are the concerns of many people reasonable from Dietrich Moldan's expert point of view?
"Justified concerns and, above all, simply unnecessary.
The population - surveys show that there is actually no interest in 5G.
You are satisfied with 4G. It is sufficiently high data transmission.
With 5G, I'll need even more cell towers - even the small cell ones - so that I can get into
the house from the streetlights, for example.
At the same time, a fiber optic network expansion is taking place, which actually has a
very high tap-proof data transmission rate.
And it is simply incomprehensible why the mobile communications industry is producing more and more wireless systems.
The demand has to be created first. It's not even there.
People are happy with what they have. But no, 5G, 6G, 7G are coming.
The aim is actually to network everything from refrigerators and office equipment to - if you look
at the latest news, where people are even saying:
The aim is to implant transmitters in people so that their brain waves can simply be recorded.
This would also mean that it would be possible to influence people from the outside using high
frequencies in order to control and manipulate them."
This animation by the German manufacturer of antenna and satellite technology "Kathrein" shows what will be
possible in the future and what has already been developed.
For example, the 5G antenna in the manhole: a hidden antenna system that will be used for future autonomous driving.
Brave new world?
Incidentally, the German engineering expertise was sold to the mobile communications giant Ericsson
- to coincide with the company's 100th birthday.
The total networking of houses, apartments, stadiums and hotels with each other - the so-called
"Internet of Things" - is not a technical problem.
But technology assessment, the biological impact on our cells, for example?
No answer! Was not investigated. As the saying goes: digital first, concerns second.
Back to the small town hall square in lovely Bad Liebenzell, Dr. Moldan's highly sensitive spectrum analyzer in action.
This can display all mobile radio frequency ranges used in this environment.
"So what we see here is the frequency range from 80 MHz to 3 GHz.
The frequency range here is 800 MHz LTE, 900 MHz with ESM and LTE, 1800 MHz with LTE and 2100,
where the UMTS network used to be, also with LTE.
This is the recording of the current situation.
We will now evaluate the radiation densities behind these individual peaks.
With the calculation after the base load and after the full load, so that we simply have an idea of the radiation
density here in front of the town hall in Bad Liebenzell."
Its evaluation corresponds to the current standard.
In general, it can be said that the base load of all radiation - even in smaller towns and villages - has been
far too high in the eyes of building biologists and European environmental physicians for years.
They are calling for the limit values to be adjusted. It's getting tight. In large cities like Munich,
there are already no more mobile phone-free zones.
"In so many antennas inside, the distances are too small.
If you imagine now - there are 100 meters marked - these are the antennas here now at a distance of 100 meters.
Here they are 200 meters, here they are 150 meters, here they are 100 meters.
You can't even carry out a study like this anymore."
"What does this actually mean for the consumer?"
"For the consumer, this means that science can hardly prove the difference between
contaminated and uncontaminated groups of people."
In 2020, European politicians Rivasi and Buchner published this paper to expose the IGNIR's proximity to industry.
This private lobby association of the mobile phone industry is even under the same roof as the Federal Office for
Radiation Protection and regulates the limit values worldwide that are supposed to protect consumers.
"You simply have to make it clear to people that what is described as scientific is in part explicitly false, and
that the official bodies are riddled with these people."
The environmental doctor Monika Krout is familiar with the rope teams and ignorance of politics and industry.
She has been testing her patients for many years using a wide variety of measurement methods.
Wired up with a heart rate variability (measuring) device, her test subjects regularly walk around a transmitter in the forest.
The computer then reads out the measurement results.
"You can see here in the forest the transmitter mast with the highest radiation in this area.
This is the radio radiation that we measured.
We recorded the heart rate at the same time and you can see that during a leisurely run through a forest path, the
heart rate also increases where the radiation is highest.
We did the whole thing on two test subjects.
Here is the second test subject.
I have just printed it out in black and white.
Where there is the highest radiation, there is also the highest heart rate.
And that means that the forest - which people say is healthy when you go for a walk there - is only healthy
if there is no transmitter mast or radio radiation."
All seems right with the world in the small Bad Liebenzell district of Unterlengenhardt.
On the initiative of the head of the village and the master beekeeper, a school project was set up in this field.
The children work as hobby gardeners, sowing herbs on plots of varying sizes and harvesting
potatoes, vegetables and fruit for their own use.
This also attracts other creatures, and the beekeeper is concerned about them:
"For the last three years or so, we have been experiencing here in the northern Black Forest over a width of 20 kilometers - from
Calw to Pforzheim and then from Wurzach in the direction of Stuttgart - that bees are simply
gone in November, and not just individual colonies.
But here in the beekeepers' association in Neuhausen, 90 percent of the beekeepers have really lost all their bees.
And beekeepers have been doing this for 50 years, and they have never experienced anything like it.
I spoke to someone on Sunday who had lost 30 colonies.
When he checked in November, they were all gone.
Now there's a completely new picture, namely the winter food - you can see the white here,
that's the winter food - it was all still inside.
So the bees didn't starve.
And you can also see on the brood combs - this is a brood comb, for example - everything in
the front was normally brood. The brood was gone.
There's food back here again. And no picture was found where you could tell which bee disease it was.
So the old bee diseases could be determined from the honeycomb image. And here you can see that there's nothing here."
The worldwide increase in bee mortality has an enormous impact on our environment and on us humans.
In fact, most scientists are aware of the many causes.
Among the most frequently mentioned are pesticides, climate change, destruction of
habitat and thus the food base of bee colonies.
An alarming development!
Insect diversity is vital for the survival of humans and nature. This is not being argued away.
However, although several studies have also pointed to orientation problems for bees caused by mobile
phone radiation, the radiation phenomenon is not included in the discussion about bee mortality.
"So for me personally, the conclusion was clear that there was something in addition to
all the other problems we have with the bees.
And it is precisely this radiation that is now having a massive effect on the bees. Similar to glyphosate back then:
That the bees lose their orientation in flight and then can't get back into the hive and die
somewhere outside. They fly three kilometers."
"How do you deal with this as a consequence?"
"The problem is that no official bodies, i.e. in the associations or in the beekeepers' association -
for which we pay our contribution - nobody reacts.
And if you then start talking about 5G - you're brushed off again.
Even the 15 beekeepers I met on Sunday - who have lost everything and who described the same picture - even they were
not prepared to seriously discuss this issue with the rays.
They gave all kinds of reasons. There's just nothing you can do. But we'll leave out the bit about the rays."
Now more than ever, it is important to get our children excited about nature again.
This requires patience and commitment.
Truly modern educators and parents may want to take a critical look at what the digital world
has been visibly doing to our children for years.
And whether it wasn't time for a decisive rethink, to develop ideas - just like in the small school field in Unterlengenhardt.
"You have to uncover it a bit. Come here, let's take it out here.
Now you can see it sooner.
And on the other hand, you had what, oregano? Thyme. Exactly.
And then there's Heinrich, our teacher, who always has great ideas on how to motivate the children to join in or have fun."
The children built this small shed under supervision.
They are motivated because they have full attention - and a task far removed from video
games, tablet wiping, Facebook and the like.
A responsible society should act as quickly as possible. Specialists sound the alarm.
"There is an explosion of addictive behavior in children towards smartphones.
There are studies that had to be discontinued because the children could not cope without their cell phones.
So they wanted to test it, for a while, for a few days, without a cell phone - and with a cell phone.
And the experiment could not be carried out because the children were unable to live without their cell phones.
And in this study you can see that this is now a so-called structural equation model and I don't want
to impose on you to really understand it in detail.
But what you see here are these links between cell phone addiction and depression.
You can see that at all three points in time - it was a longitudinal study - a study that was interlinked.
And not only that, it always had an impact on the future.
So this is really very threatening for the future, because depression is a particular problem today - child and
adolescent psychiatry can tell you a thing or two about it."
The expert pragmatically discusses possible reasons for this ignorance:
"All governments benefit enormously from these technologies, not only because the licenses are
sold, but also because of the enormous tax revenues.
After all, the telecommunications industry is almost the only one still showing growth and is a source of tax revenue.
On the other hand, politicians are of course also aware of these social phenomena, and some of them are trying
to get involved themselves and exploit them politically.
The third point is that politicians are among the "early adopters" of this technology.
I don't want to name names now, but I know a few politicians who could be described as cell phone addicts."
"I don't have the knowledge, the power or the opportunity, I don't think, to change the world, but I just go back to my own front
door and try to live the way I can take responsibility for."
"Well, we also emailed this information to our mayors in Bad Liebenzell and the entire district of Calw,
including the local councillors, but we never heard back."
"I've been to schools in the Netherlands, in Belgium and in Germany to talk to head teachers and said:
'Radiation is doing this to our children. And people said: But there's nothing we can do.
I was at the international school in the Netherlands. They said: radiation is not important because our
children learn more through tablets and cell phones.
I went to the politicians and they said: Okay, we could imagine that they are right, but we don't see any need for action."
