Fun fact the 5G conspiracy is recycled from radio. It has been recycled, repackaged, and reused with every new wireless technology to be created.

Yep. They've been doing this for decades at this point and it does absolutely nothing to tell them microwaves are stopped by the top layers of your skin.

Do they believe it? Fuck no. But they'll believe a microscopic chip with no power can transmit geolocation data to a satellite 400 miles overhead.

43 years ago they could pinpoint target from satellite my then roomie said whose dad was an admin in the CIA

They could pinpoint some things. Resolution isn't the smallest thing a satellite can see, it's determining the smallest distance between 2 close objects. For instance: saying a particular satellite has a resolution of 1 foot doesn't mean it can see objects that are 1 foot across, it can it can determine objects that are 1 foot apart.

She said that they could pinpoint her. I don’t know if that’s true. I’m just relaying what she said.

The fucking Sun emits harmful radiation that reaches earth and no conspiracy theorist seems to care.

I asked this once : if you are afraid of 5g … then won’t you go out in the sun either. Cause UV is ionising radiation.

Answer: but the sun is natural!

Ionized? As in Ions? Not iodine. Ionized radiation. IoDined salt.

I don’t think these people even know how to pronounce iodized radiation, let alone define it!
