Severe and Rapid Deterioration of the Environment due to EMR
Executive Summary
March 9, 2025
Dear Mr. Kennedy,
My name is Diana Kordas and I am writing to you from the Greek island of Samos, where we have observed severe and rapid deterioration of the environment due to EMR, especially since 4G and then 5G were introduced. We have no pesticides or agrochemicals in our area, no lights, and the problems we are observing cannot possibly be due to climate change. These include the following effects, all of which I believe to be either DNA or developmental damage due to EMR:
1. Massive decline of insect species, including soil insects and pollinators.
2. Massive decline and possible extinction of many insectivore species, including birds (migratory and resident), hedgehogs, lizards and toads. Lack of food, as much as electromagnetic fields, may be driving changes in the migratory patterns of birds.
3. Massive decline in saltwater species across the board: crustaceans, mollusks, invertebrates, and vertebrates.
4. Sharp decline in rodents (some species such as voles may be extinct) and the creatures which feed on them (golden jackals, raptors, snakes, etc.) are declining as well.
5. Complete lack of soil insects, including earthworms, leading to soil deterioration. Beneficial soil bacteria are probably also missing. Soil has become acidic.
6. Wing damage and wing mutations in flies, butterflies, cicadas, and wasps, many species of which are now extinct. Miniaturization of some insects (prelude to extinction) including some butterflies, carpenter bees, bumblebees and red hornets.
7. Dramatic changes in sex ratios of certain insects where it is easy to identify the sex, such as scarlet darter dragonflies and mosquitoes; there are almost no males. This probably affects other species where it is not easy to immediately identify the sex.
8. Plants are producing seeds which are not viable and will not germinate: some wildflowers such as poppies and small orchids are dying out. So are some crops, especially leafy green vegetables such as spinach, chard and lettuce.
9. Vegetables and fruits are misshapen, oddly colored, cracked and thin-skinned.
10. Mutations in plants include misshapen flowers and plants growing to three times their normal size.
11. Some vegetable plants such as zucchini are producing very few male flowers of which a large percentage contain no pollen. Tomato crops, which can no longer be grown outdoors, may be failing due to lack of pollen.
12. Wildflowers are producing little or no pollen. Bees working the plants often have empty pollen sacs, or very little pollen in their sacs. Lack of pollen may be responsible for diminishing honey production and colony collapse. In the U.S., it just recently announced that over 60% of bee colonies have died. https://usrtk.org/bees-neonics/beekeepers-report-catastrophic-winter-losses/
There are no studies which I know of which back up my observations, but I believe we are heading for a massive, world-wide food crisis. Many wild species including birds and reptiles are being starved into extinction. I believe it will not be long before many of the foods we eat will become impossible to grow, and those which can be grown will become too expensive to buy. On Samos, and in Greece generally, farmers are no longer able to grow many crops outdoors and are forced to grow them in greenhouses, raising the cost of production. Some crops will no longer grow at all.
There has been very little scientific research on the effects of EMR on nature (soil, plants, insects, etc.)—and no field studies whatsoever—since 5G was introduced worldwide. Few of the more recent studies are any good, and none are ground-breaking. Although the principle that EMR causes DNA damage has been proven repeatedly, neither governments nor nature NGOs include EMR on their list of threats to nature (or food production). Scientists working on EMR all say that funding has dried up. Without funding, they cannot do the work that needs to be done—and done soon.
I am writing to ask if you, or anyone you know, singly or together, would be willing to create something analogous to the Gates Foundation for Diseases of the Developing World, in order to fund pertinent, quality research into the effects of EMR on nature and food production. Soil conditions are deteriorating so fast, and species are vanishing so quickly, that I honestly don’t think there is time to lose.
Best wishes,

Dear Mr. Kennedy,
My name is Diana Kordas and I am writing to you because of your well-known opposition to 5G/wireless technology and all its consequences. I have written a number of pieces about the effects of wireless technology on nature, some of which have been published in The Defender. I am 67 and grew up in a world without computers or the internet, without cellphones or smartphones, but which was rich in life forms: birds, insects, amphibians, animals and sea life. It was a world where children read books and played outdoors. It was also a world in which food was relatively much cheaper than it is now, as well as much more nutritious and much tastier. At the end of the day, life is all about food, because without it no species can survive.
Electromagnetic radiation (EMR) has many consequences, which I am sure you already know all about. DNA damage has been proven. Health effects on human beings have been proven, but are largely ignored by governments who make huge profits from the telecom industry, while people are mostly addicted to their smartphones and other gadgets and refuse to believe that anything will happen to them or their children. I have seen toddlers running around with their own smartphones (they make such good baby-sitters). Once I saw a woman, dressed identically to her year-old baby daughter, resting her smartphone on the baby’s head as she chatted on the phone. Today’s children are either grossly fat or spindly-legged and unhealthy-looking. They don’t seem to know how to play with each other. They are too engrossed in the radiating plastic rectangle in their hands.
Government agencies such as ministries of agriculture are pushing for 5G farming in the mistaken belief that this will increase production, which it won’t. Nature NGOs refuse to include EMR as one of the threats to wildlife for fear of losing government funding and sponsorship, much of which comes from corporations like Google and the telecom industry itself. And, to be fair, there is a real lack of good, solid research into the deleterious effects of EMR, especially 5G, on nature—soil, beneficial bacteria, plants, insects, birds and animals.
I am not a scientist, but I have always had a keen appreciation of nature in all forms. I was lucky; we always lived in the countryside where there was much to observe. Now I live on the Greek island of Samos, on a large piece of land on which we grow vegetables and run as a sort of nature reserve. We are very fortunate in that the area has no pesticides at all (most of the surrounding land is wild and our few neighbors do not use them) and there are very few lights, none of which affect our land. No one has Wi-Fi, but there are plenty of cell towers around us, as well as an increasing number of satellites. Their number has grown and grown as we have advanced from 2G to the present 5G. And we are seeing disastrous effects.
When 3G became 4G, all the wildlife on the mountain where the nearest cell tower sits (about 2 miles away) started to vanish—birds, small mammals, and insects included. We used to have fireflies, but they vanished that summer. Suddenly we could drive for miles without getting a single insect on our windshield—this phenomenon was world-wide and attributed to the aerodynamics of modern cars, but since we don’t have modern cars, I can assure you this is not the case.
Samos has small but ecologically important wetlands that were full of birds and insects, until they decided to ensure good cellphone coverage on all the southern beaches. The wetlands are now essentially dead, and so is the sea along these beaches. Once our little lagoon was full of juvenile flamingos every winter, and the air was thick with mosquitoes. The flamingos have not bred in four years, and there are hardly any mosquitoes. I could list all the life forms on these areas that have vanished in recent years, but it would be a very long list. The flatlands beside the wetlands, fed by rivers, are also Samos’ chief farming areas. Local growers have been experiencing great trouble with their crops in recent years and are now growing in greenhouses produce which they used to, and which ought to, grow outdoors. Some crops such as spinach will no longer grow at all.
The following case history will give you a picture of what life is like for local farmers:
Case History
Matrona, The Woman with the Zucchini Blossoms
When we first moved to Samos in 2012, we used to shop at the farmer’s market in Samos town. We got to know all the growers well. The most striking sight of the market was Matrona, an extremely pretty young woman who wore bright fluttering scarves and whose truck was always bedecked with bunches of bright yellow-orange male zucchini flowers which stood out against the pale yellow walls of the old police station. Van Gogh would have itched to paint her. Her produce was wonderful.
Matrona and her husband, like most local market gardeners, farm in the flat lands near the south coast, beside the wetlands that border the southern beaches. They grew everything, the whole gamut of summer, winter and spring vegetables. She dreamed of building their own house so that her family wouldn’t have to live with her in-laws. Then things started to go badly wrong.
In the winter of 2016, 4G came to Samos. By the summer of 2017, the mobile phone companies had expanded wireless coverage to all the southern beaches of the island. Insect and bird populations started falling, and initially huge flocks of crows took over the entire area, making life very difficult for the farmers. Eventually the crows too died out. Matrona and her husband started having problems growing some crops. Zucchini stopped being easy to grow, and her truck was no longer festooned with blossoms. She used to produce wonderful spinach, but the crops became smaller. In the winter of 2018, her husband sowed spinach three times before the seeds germinated.
When 5G came in on Samos, in 2021, Matrona could no longer grow zucchini at all. By the winter of 2022, she and her husband could no longer grow spinach. By the summer of 2023, they could no longer grow tomatoes outdoors. They had to grow them in a greenhouse, using rented bees as pollinators. They had to hire more help. Production costs rose.
By the winter of 2023-2024, they could only grow root crops such as potatoes, beets and leeks, and greens such as lettuce, parsley and celery. They could not grow crops requiring pollination, and cauliflowers and broccoli did not thrive. This past summer, she continued to sell potatoes, beets, leeks, parsley, and celery, which are normally winter crops in Greece. Her only summer vegetable was bell peppers, and they are grown in a greenhouse. Tomatoes would not grow at all, even in a greenhouse. Her husband planted tomatoes three times and all three crops failed.
Matrona has given up her dream of building her own house. Now she thinks about survival, about providing for children who are growing older and whose needs are greater. She and her husband have no other way of making a living, and they fear for the future. She knows that they are not the only farmers with these problems, but this is small comfort.
5G arrived four years ago, and I have tried to record the effects we have seen on our land and on this island. I have written several papers recording our observations1, which I will try to sum them up here briefly. With the exception of a friend in Japan who recorded her own observations in a recent paper2, I know of no one else, scientist or civilian, who has made any attempt to study the effects of 5G in the field. Japan is experiencing many of the same effects of EMR as we have here. Another friend in Thailand writes to me of the insects that have vanished, of a lack of pollinators, of deformed birds and five-legged frogs.

A Brief Timeline of Environmental Effects on Samos
2021.
The first summer after the installation of 5G on Samos, insect populations plummeted. We estimate that 90% of the insects still present vanished, many species altogether. The worst affected were the beetles, most of which are now locally extinct, and web-spinning spiders. We lost many wild bee species.
In our garden, the soil turned acidic, soil insects disappeared, and beneficial soil microbes died. We began to see mutant vegetables. I had to hand-pollinate zucchini because those plants were not being pollinated, though melons, peppers, aubergines and tomatoes were.
Field mouse, tree rat and vole populations fell drastically. We used to have to cover ripening melons with plant pots or the rats would eat them. That summer we did not cover the melons and did not lose any.
Insectivore bird populations dropped, especially migratory insectivores like hoopoes, nightjars, flycatchers, swallows and bee-eaters. Gulls, which are not normally raptors, began hunting and killing bee-eaters and swallows in mid-air (they still do) because there is nothing washing up on the seashores anymore. Jays, normally insectivores (though they will raid nests of smaller birds) have also become raptors and will kill and eat swallows and other small birds if they can catch them. Lately I have begun to wonder whether lack of food, rather than electromagnetic fields, is the primary driver behind changes in bird migration patterns.
DNA damage began to show as wing damage in many flying insects. Even before 5G, we were finding carrion flies with vestigial wings or none at all. That summer we also found wasps and many cicadas with damaged wings. Wasps especially had been dying out since 4G, and with 5G most species have vanished altogether.
Snails vanished and in consequence, so did hedgehogs, which feed on them. No one has seen a hedgehog for several years and I believe they are extinct on this island. (In the UK, which uses only 6 GHz to date, snails and hedgehogs are also disappearing, and last spring an animal shelter near Liverpool had, at one point, 150 severely undernourished baby hedgehogs, most of which died). By 2024, snails had disappeared around the paddy fields in Japan, where they were exposed to EMR, but were found (alive and well) in a culvert filled with neonicotinoid runoff.
Sea life at local beaches, which had been declining fast since the advent of 4G, declined even faster. Water mollusks, limpets, urchins, octopi, sea cucumbers, crabs, pinna shells and most other common life forms have died out. EMR penetrates water, which may magnify its effects both in the sea and on land ponds, rivers, lakes etc. The first victims of EMR were freshwater species including amphibians.
2022
Insect declines continued, and there were far fewer pollinators. Bird populations continued to decline and there were fewer migratory birds. Lizards, chameleons, and geckos declined; rodents continued to decline. Snakes declined and we saw very few.
We began to get severely mutant vegetables in the garden, as well as double-headed zinnias, which we grow to attract pollinators. Local growers also complained of mutations in aubergines and peppers, which were so oddly-shaped, cracked or discolored as to be unsaleable. Tomatoes developed very thin skins and cracked before they were ripe. Melons were deformed and the side facing the sun had no flesh under it. Soil acidity increased, and soil nutrients such as beneficial bacteria severely decreased. There were, once again, no soil insects.
Lack of rodents, while good for the garden, severely affected wildlife. Snakes live on them. Owls and other raptors which hunt rodents declined, and Samos lost all the little Athena owls, once the classic symbol of ancient Greece. Short-toed eagles, which feed on snakes and other reptiles, ceased to summer and breed here. The Samos golden jackal, a unique sub-species, declined and many packs disappeared. We have been doing supplementary feeding for our local pack for some years, so we still have these charming and intelligent animals—but I fear that without us, they would not be surviving, for there is very little game.
Lack of game is affecting larger wild animals such as foxes, boar and wolves, which are starting to invade cities across Greece in winter. Foxes in Athens, wolves in the streets of Thessaloniki, and wild boar in the streets of Athens’ northern suburbs. Boar can be found in many European cities now; in Zagreb they dig up people’s gardens. In Japan, bears and boar have attacked people. In northern Greece, a bear with two cubs showed up in a supermarket. In late 2024 a bear occupied a supermarket in northern Japan for several days, ate the meat and mauled an employee.
2023
Butterflies, which had shown more resistance to EMR than other insects such as beetles and pollinators, declined drastically and there were clear signs of DNA damage in them. We started to see scarce swallowtails (Iphiclides podalirius) which lacked one of the characteristic long tails, and miniaturized swallowtails (Papilio machaon), a different but related species) which were about 2/3 the size of the normal insect. We also saw miniature carpenter bees. There were very few moths, only 3-4 species, all tiny. One type of butterfly which used to be very common in late winter and spring, the Eastern Festoon, vanished except for one which had wings so crumpled it could barely move. Most butterfly species were absent. As with the previous year, there were fewer insects and fewer birds. The gulls continued to prey on migratory swallows and bee-eaters, both of whose numbers declined.
Scarlet darter dragonflies and mosquitoes exhibited severe imbalances in sex ratios. With the dragonflies, the ratio should be 50-50, but suddenly there were far more females than males—about 90% females to 10% males. Numbers have since declined, but the male-female ratio has remained abnormal. The same summer, most male mosquitoes vanished. The same imbalance may be occurring in other insects where it is not so easy to distinguish sex.
The garden fared badly, with misshapen and discolored fruits and vegetables. The seeds turned out not to be viable, and not a single plant grew from the seeds we had saved that summer. Seeds from chard grown that winter proved not to be viable either. In the summer of 2024, we had to use seeds saved from previous years. We were given melon seeds of different varieties by a friend; none of those seeds germinated. We planted 60 tomato plants and had almost no fruits.
Local growers started to grow tomatoes exclusively in hothouses. At the time, we wondered if the problem was decreasing numbers of pollinators, but I no longer think this is the case (see below). In any case, since 2023, the only tomatoes available on the market are hothouse, and there are so few Greek tomatoes (amazing, in this climate, where they used to the easiest thing to grow) that we now get imported Turkish and even Belgian (all hothouse) tomatoes on sale in the supermarkets. Sun-dried tomatoes have disappeared from supermarket shelves. In fact, most of the vegetables in the supermarkets these days are hothouse. They are tasteless and expensive. Most leafy green vegetables such as spinach, chard and Romaine lettuce are hard to get. I tried to buy spinach seed last year, but there was none available.
It is worth noting that in 2023 the cocoa crop failed also—the worst crop since the mid-70’s. Since the cocoa groves are full of cell towers, this is not surprising. Cocoa growers have started to hand-pollinate their crops—allegedly due to lack of pollinators (again, see below). The cocoa from this crop leaves a sour aftertaste which may be the result of soil acidity. Many brands have started adding acidity regulators to the cocoa powder. Cocoa crops continue to be poor, which means that many cocoa farmers won’t make a living. Greek olive oil has also become acidic and acidity percentage is no longer specified on bottles and tins. It should be less than 1%, but is now high enough to cause stomach-aches. Meanwhile, I have read that DNA changes are starting to show up in coffee plants.
2024
In the garden, tomato plants produced no fruit, and melons did not grow at all. Scarce swallowtails, of which we saw very few, all had missing tails, one or both, which is clear evidence of DNA damage since the trait was passed on. Carpenter bees showed the same genetic damage; many of them were miniatures. All the red hornets and many carpenter bees we saw were miniatures, about half of normal size. There were fewer pollinators than the year before, and very few insects at all. We now have only three beetle species.
We saw other mutations in wild plants. Fennel plants, which usually grow 5-6 feet tall, suddenly started growing to 9-10 feet in height. Wild carrots, a lacy flower also called Queen Anne’s Lace, also grew 9-10 feet tall, though its usual height is 3 feet. A sow thistle, a type of dandelion, grew to 8 feet instead of its usual 2 feet. In Japan, my friend’s husband grew monstrously tall sunflowers with very thick, tough stalks.
There were no snakes at all, hardly any lizards (all insectivores) no toads, and declines generally continued across the board. When the bee-eaters arrived, there were only 20—we used to get hundreds of these bright, colorful birds. But there is nothing for them to eat, since they live on bees, carpenter bees, bumblebees and large flying beetles.
The most alarming discovery of 2024 was the lack of pollen in male zucchini flowers. Zucchinis should produce many more male than female flowers, but this year the ratio was reversed. Many of the male flowers contained no pollen at all. I am sure about this. I hand-pollinate, and the bright yellow pollen grains show clearly on the feather I use to collect them. Many people noticed the lack of male zucchini flowers, which are used in a popular summer dish (stuffed with feta cheese and breadcrumbs, then deep-fried).
Not all plants produce distinct male and female flowers, but I began to wonder if the lack of tomatoes was not due to lack of pollinators—every summer we have seen small wild bees on the plants—but lack of pollen. What if the lack of pollen is affecting all sorts of plants, both those we eat and wildflowers as well? Wild fennel grows in profusion here, but last summer the plants produced virtually no seeds. A lot of small birds and small rodents live on those seeds in winter.
Until the summer of 2024, I had assumed that lack of pollinators was responsible for low crop yields, not only in what we grow, but generally. A recent article in Nature points out that many wild plants as well as pollinators are declining—but as usual climate change and pesticides are blamed. I do not believe this is the case at all. I believe what we are seeing is DNA and/or developmental damage to the plants due to EMR, and that many plants are producing little or no pollen. And that pollen may not be viable, any more than the seeds from many of our crops are viable. We know that EMR affects sperm, and pollen is, in effect, plant sperm.
I was able to confirm this theory—to my own satisfaction, at least—quite recently. Many spring flowers bloomed early: anemones of all colors, shamrock flowers in profusion (they usually attract lots of bees), daisies, dandelions, virgin’s bower, almond trees, rosemary bushes, golden drops, Great Robert orchids. My husband and I were watching the bees at the flowers, and we realized that we could not see pollen sacs on the bees. These were not drone flies (most of which have vanished) but honeybees and wild bees, yet the pollen sacs were invisible. We got close enough to a number of bees to determine that they did indeed have pollen sacs on their hind legs—but the pollen sacs were empty; so small and brown as to be well-nigh invisible.
Were the bees not collecting pollen? I called a local beekeeper, who said that, in the warm weather, with all the flowers in bloom, bees would indeed normally collect pollen—and obviously, the bees were trying to. Was it the flowers? I took a small feather and went all over our property testing the flowers. I eventually collected a few grains of yellow pollen from a few shamrock flowers, but for the rest, nothing. No pollen. Although we have since seen some bees with pollen in their sacs, the pollen sacs are not full, and we are still seeing bees with empty pollen sacs. In 2023, Greek honey production was 40% down. It is possible that this was due to lack of pollen in the flowers. Dandelions that were blooming weeks ago have not produced dandelion clocks; they have not produced seed. Poppies have been dying out for the past several years; I don’t know about their pollen, but I know that their seeds do not grow. Small orchids, of which Samos has many varieties, are declining.
What is happening is incredibly alarming, but what can we do about it?
Most of the attention with regard to EMR and especially 5G has been concerned with effects on bees and other pollinators. There has been much less concern about the effect of EMR on plants, even though it is known that they absorb EMR through their leaves and transmit it to the soil through their roots. There has been equally little concern about the effect of EMR on soiland what it does to soil organisms and the plants that then grow from it. Yet everything begins with the earth itself, and we are poisoning it.
Because I know with 100% certainty that where we live does not have pesticides, nor artificial fertilizers, I know that these are emphatically not the cause of the problems we are seeing. Nor do I believe climate change to be a factor; climate change could not cause mutations, changes in sex ratios, or lack of pollen. I cannot cite recent studies to back up my assertion that EMR is killing off and causing mutant insects and plants, that it is causing plants to produce flowers that contain no pollen and seeds that are not viable.There are no recent studies (or any at all) on these subjects. There have not been, to my knowledge, any field studies at all since 5G was introduced. Recent studies are a poor crop, very few of these are concerned with the environment—except to say that bees, butterflies, hedgehogs and many other species are disappearing (without mentioning EMR as a possible cause). Some of the studies which do mention EMR are downright silly, like one I saw recently which claimed that Wi-Fi (which bees are extremely unlikely to encounter in the countryside) changes foraging patterns.
An older study on EMR and germination concluded that EMR boosts germination of seeds and could be beneficial. I don’t know if it was industry-sponsored, but this is not my experience or that of any growers of my acquaintance. On the contrary, EMR in the environment produces seeds that are not viable.
In 1906, journalist Alfred Henry Louis wrote, “There are only nine meals between mankind and anarchy.” If people cannot grow food, or afford to buy the food that is increasingly being grown in greenhouses (and how long before these plants won’t grow either?) what exactly are they to do? The smartphone may be useful (I wouldn’t know as I don’t have one) but I am quite sure it is inedible.
The WEF seems to think that people can survive on mealworms and cricket flour (if even they can continue to be produced in the current EMR environment) but this sounds a lot like Marie Antoinette’s “let them eat cake”. And why is the WEF suddenly so concerned with finding alternatives to real food? It has been well over a century since George Washington Carver demonstrated that peanuts are virtually a complete food in themselves. Chickpeas, beans and lentils contain as much protein as meat. However, these are all crops which need to grow in the soil and be pollinated.
The problems in nature did not begin with 5G, though no doubt they have been exacerbated by adding 5G bandwidths to the toxic soup of other EMR bandwidths used for mobile communications. From the very beginning of mobile communications, effects on nature were created which have accumulated and built until we are in danger of wiping out our environment and with it, ourselves. DNA damage that has already occurred will be passed on to succeeding generations—of insects, of plants, of other species. If we get rid of 5G we might buy a few more years—or not. The dominoes are already toppling.
Life is all about food. The earthworms eat the microorganisms in the soil. The robins eat the earthworms. The sparrowhawks eat the robins. The rodents eat the plants, and the foxes and jackals and other predators eat the rodents. The plants eat the microorganisms in the soil and produce edible leaves, fruits, vegetables and seeds which are eaten by animals, birds and us. We eat the animals which eat the plants. And so it goes.
There is an urgent need for funding of good, up-to-date field studies to determine what is happening to nature as a result of EMR. The principle has long been established—we know that DNA damage is done by EMR and we know the mechanisms by which it is done—but the world at large is ignoring this.
Genetic assays could be done to see what sort of DNA damage is being done to plants, insects and other creatures. We need studies that spell out, in no uncertain terms, what is happening to the soil, to the microorganisms, the insects, the plants, the animals. We need high-quality studies which cannot be ignored by the nature NGOs and by governments.
If no one is willing to fund these studies, they won’t get done. Scientists who have studied EMR for years complain that funding has dried up. They are tired and discouraged, the more so because it is difficult to get their work published. The result is more and more review studies, with little new work, none of it ground-breaking. Yet if there is no new scientific work, and we go on the way we are, I predict we will soon start seeing massive crop failures. There will be social unrest, mass migration, extreme poverty and eventually, famine. We are, I believe, at a tipping point. It matters less to me because I am not young, but what about the world we depend on, and what about the children?
Which brings me to why I am writing this letter. What is needed is something like the Gates Foundation for Diseases of the Developing World, an organization that is willing to fund worthwhile, applicable research into the effects of EMR on nature—the soil, the plants, the insects, and so on up the food chain. The research needs to focus on actual conditions as they exist on the ground. Obviously, some very good work has been done, much of it in the laboratory, but too often such work is dismissed as not reflecting actual conditions in real life. We need studies about actual conditions in real life.
Let me give you one example. I spoke with Dr. Dimitris Panagopoulos, whose work on fruit flies has proven again and again that EMR causes DNA damage. Because all life forms contain the same DNA (there is only one sort) his work establishes the principle and explains in detail how the damage occurs. His fruit flies eventually became sterile. However, despite repeated experiments, he has not seen in his laboratory effects which we are seeing here, such as changes in sex ratios, miniaturization, or wing damage. These effects are the precursors to sterility—and I believe that if there were field work which proved that, such work would have a more immediate impact in some respects than Panagopoulos’ superb work, if only because people can relate more easily to a damaged butterfly than to a fruit fly.
There have been some excellent older field studies, such as one by two Greek scientists, Magras and Xenos (2003), who exposed a pair of field mice to actual cell tower radiation near an antenna park and found that each generation of baby mice born to them were deformed, and that the dam eventually became sterile. However, no one has repeated this experiment, or taken it further—what would have happened if some of the deformed baby mice had bred? A 2016 study on the island of Lesbos found that there were fewer pollinators (both in number and variety) the nearer one got to cell towers—this one got a lot of attention, but again, it has never been repeated—anywhere. Why not? In 2010, Spanish biologist Alfonso Balmori exposed two sets of tadpoles, one in a Faraday cage and one not, to ambient cell tower radiation on a rooftop. The ones in the Faraday cage lived and the others died. This experiment would be easy to repeat, but no one has done it—though last summer I found that mosquito larvae in an exposed, roofless rainwater cistern all died while larvae in a closed, stone-walled, covered cistern where EMR cannot penetrate lived and bred in profusion.
The fact that a principle has been established is not enough to persuade governments or nature NGOs that EMR is truly dangerous to all life—especially not when governments find this technology both very useful and very profitable, and certainly not when entire populations are addicted to their devices. And scientific work needs funding.
Would you, or anyone you know, singly or together, be willing to create something like the Gates Foundation in order to fund high-quality scientific research into the effects of EMR, and specifically on real-life, in vivo, research on nature—soil, insects, plants, birds, crops, etc.? I ask you because you already know that children and nature are not being protected from wireless technology. I don’t think it is actually possible to protect anyone or anything as long as this technology exists. But what will it take? Would mass crop failure achieve its elimination?
Would you please consider taking some action on this matter?
Best wishes,

Date: 2025-03-21 10:16 pm (UTC)1) There was a near complete absence of the dusky thrush in our area until the end of February, when a flockof about 20 arrived and settled into a grove in the "unexposed" (no direct 5G radiation) area. This is a migratory species that used to be as familiar and ubiquitous as crows in Japan in winter. They scavenged the off-season paddies for invertebrates and were constantly present until their migration north in late April. It would appear to me that the flock that arrived had been driven out from somewhere else not far away. If soil organisms are going missing, as Diana says, that might account for this. The flock that arrived set about scavenging as normal, including in exposed areas, but there seemed to be very few in the exposed area. I have attempted to quantify that. I made observations 1-3 times a day over ten days in an area, which at ground level I estimate at 2/3 unexposed (5/3 exposed at road level).
I counted birds engaged in foraging only, because when disturbed they tend to fly up to exposed perches.I counted 58 unexposed and 9 exposed to one degree or another. There was only one time when I saw a significant number (3) in an exposed location--on the road by puddles during a rainstorm. Only three were unambiguously foraging in an exposed area. One I counted on my second pass (after it had been disturbed), and a couple were exposed only to the supermarket small cell, which I consider an unlikely source of major exposure, but not the fire station small cell (targetting a busy convenience store). I am not a statistician, but I think 3 unambiguous cases out of about 60 observations when roughly 20 would be expected would suggest a high degree of significance.
I noticed a tendency on some days, as well, for the birds to scavenge near the edge of the exposed area. This suggests they may be having difficulty finding enough to eat in the unexposed area on some days and are attempting to scavenge the exposed areas, but do not persist, and whether this is due to lack of soil invertebrates or to irritation from the transmissions I cannot say.
2) One of our cats, that we have had for more than four years began suffering health issues during the past nine months. These continued to worsen until I suggested to my husband that we not take her on walks into the heavily exposed area near the community center, where she would accompany us each day in the early afternoon. After we switched to a mostly unexposed area at a greater distance from the small cells, her eye discharge cleared up, her grooming improved, her energy level rose and her bladder stones went away. I had noticed that near the community center, she would walk down in the culvert and she seemed to have the most trouble with bladder stones specifically during those walks. This suggests calcium metabolish issues, but I'd have to confirm the type of stones with the vet.I rarely see stray cats in the directly exposed fields. Ours follow us out there because we are going there.
