Mystery towers in Cincinnati causing concern. 5G danger?

WCPO 9 Cincinnati: Mystery towers going up all over Cincinnati area.

Homeowners worry about possible health effects.

If you drive around the Cincinnati area you may have noticed mysterious cylinder-type cell phone towers, that look nothing like any cell tower most of us have seen.

Now, a growing number of Tri-Staters are getting worried about these towers, and the 5G signals they believe they will soon be sending out, as part of the nationwide rollout of faster 5G cell service.

Michelle Krinsky is a nurse who was out walking near her Cleves home earlier this summer, when she looked up and said, "What's that? You can see it's this ugly menace sitting there," she said.

Right at the entrance to the Village of Cleves from US 50 (River Road) is the strangest looking cell tower many people have ever seen.

Krinsky decided to call the village administration office, then Hamilton County, and the State of Ohio, but no one knew anything about it, she says.

The most information she and some other homeowners were able to find out is that the tower is on the US 50 right-of-way, not in the Village, so that local officials would not have to be consulted.

"We don't know who put it up, if it is running 4G right now, and if it will run 5G soon," she said.
[.]
...the FCC allows these towers to go in with almost no local approval. The FCC and FAA claim there are no proven links between 5G cell service and health effects, and say local residents have no reason to fear these new towers.

But Hamilton County Engineer Ted Hubbard told us a few months ago that even he, and other county officials are left in the dark.

"The ownership is a big question," Hubbard said. "And I have asked that. We are having a hard time finding out who actually owns it."

That means no one has publicly stated who owns the mysterious Cleves tower, or any of the others popping up across the Tri State. It has no company name on the base.

It's not that hard to find out who owns these towers. Hypothetically speaking, there are a lot of things someone could "do" to these towers and then sit around and wait to see who shows up to undo whatever is done to them.

I'm not advocating any type of property damage. That would be so wrong. There's plenty of alternatives available that one could "do" to these towers that doesn't involve any property damage. Then, wait around and see who shows up. Have your camera ready, remain on public property, start filming and ask questions of the people who show up. Note the vehicle license plate number and make, model, color and other identifying features.

That county board members are in the dark about these towers seems a bit...NWO-ish, doesn't it?

How safe is 5G? Search that subject and you'll find both pro and con, from "it'll fry us," to, "it's harmless." I'm undecided. Anyone?

I do think when we have concerns like those expressed over 5G, it's best to err on the side of restraint. We don't need another epidemic on our hands in five or ten years. It's not like technology has taken a back seat to law, ethics, safety and personal security.

Smart Ovens Turning Themselves on and Preheating during the night. Manufacturer blames other apps.

The Verge: Your smart oven might be more ready for breakfast than you realize.

Multiple people report that their June Smart Oven turned on by itself during the night and preheated to 400 degrees, perhaps in eager anticipation of the meal it might soon cook. June did not issue a statement regarding the potential cause of this heating fiasco, but it told The Verge that user error was to blame.

In one instance, June blamed the Amazon Alexa integration for the preheating and in another instance said the user may have tapped something within the app that triggered the preheat functionality. In only one case did June send out a new oven, but the company said it was due to “unrelated issues.” The events have users concerned.

"Blame the Other App." Way to go PR Department of June.

One could consider unplugging the oven. This may trigger the physical act of reprogramming when plugged back in. Gee, can the App Dependent Generation burn one calorie by the intense manual labor required to reprogram it? If you get short of breath, sit down, relax, you'll be okay. Really. There's an App for that.

The self-activation, preheating and possible fire is the least of the worries. The smart oven is probably spying on those who own it. It's recording their words and movements. It's monitoring everything they do. And it's talking about them behind their back with the smart fridge, Alexa, the Flat Screen and all the other Black Mirror devices. And their car, and gas, water and electric meters. Wave to the hidden cameras in the ovens, Fitbits, cell phones and flat screens. Your life is being live-streamed on the Dark Web. Yeah, the camera does add ten pounds, but don't worry, ya look fine.

[--] while getting ready in the morning, you can rely on this new technology to help prepare your morning joe, just by saying, “Alexa, ask Delta to fill up the coffee pot.” Or if you’re a busy parent trying to get the kids out of the door and you remember that the dog needs water, Delta VoiceIQ technology can also help with that too via an app.

It's always the, "...And More," that gets us to fork over our money, isn't it?

"Alexa, flush." Alexa: "Flushing process begun." Flushing is hard.

Technology provides us, if we choose it, to bypass the physically strenuous act of dialing a phone to order a pizza. Instead, if we choose, we can order said pizza by a few keystrokes on an app. When the pizza arrives, we can if we choose to engage technology, answer and open the door for said pizza, thereby avoiding having to get up off our ass to obtain said pizza. Payment and tip concluded long ago via the app.

Then the task of actually having to feed ourselves is upon us. Will someone break out in a sweat lifting those slices? Pull a humerus or ulna muscle? The act of chewing? Strenuous, pain-inducing torture. Anyone wanna wager that future members of The Seated App Generation will see increases in heart and circulatory-related health problems?

Go ahead, Have a slice. You know you want it!
