Announcing "The 9pm Totally Convincing Official Truth Theories Live"
Let me read you something from the website of the totally normal community group No 5G in the Blue Mountains. In fact, let me read you a lot more this Saturday night, 1 February. But I need your help."If the telecommunications industry's plans for 5G come to fruition, no person, no animal, no bird, no insect and no plant on Earth will be able to avoid exposure, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to levels of RF radiation that are tens to hundreds of times greater than what exists today, without any possibility of escape anywhere on the planet. These 5G plans threaten to provoke serious, irreversible effects on humans and permanent damage to all of the Earth’s ecosystems."It's bullshit, of course, but I'd like to read you more of this bullshit. And I will, in another special live-streamed live-reading episode of The 9pm Edict. 5G conspiracies, chemtrails, what's really in McDonalds food, and more.Full podcast details at:https://stilgherrian.com/edict/00094a/Support this podcast at:https://stilgherrian.com/tip/https://skank.com.au/subscribe/
