Firstly I give you fair warning this weeks article is not directly about gardening but it is very important to all living species on the planet including all life forms, our plants, vegetables & fruit and our health.
Several years ago I obtained a book written by Arthur Firstenberg called The Invisible Rainbow, A History of Electricity and Life.
I have mentioned this book previously and I recommend it to anyone that wants to understand how all life forms interact with the environment and Mother Earth.
Since then I have been a subscriber to Arthur’s newsletters and email and a recent one I will share with you in a moment.
I wrote recently about a email from a lady gardener that said that all of a sudden one day the cicadas stopped for no obvious reason and another gardener also email me similar.
A number of you readers also reported some insects are few and far between but others such as bumble bees and white butterfly appear not to be effected as they are still plentiful.
Anyway what is happening in the rest of the world and why from Arthur Firstenberg:
Where have all the insects gone?
The least noticed and greatest assault on Earthly life rains on us from the sky. Nature’s wires strung above us from horizon to horizon, carrying the electricity that helps power our bodies, and the information that informs our growth, healing, and daily lives, now carries dirty electricity millions of frequencies and pulsations that confuse our cells and organs, and dim our nervous systems, be we humans, elephants, birds, insects, fish, or flowering plants.
The pulsations pollute the Earth beneath our feet, surround us in the air through which we fly, course through the oceans in which we swim, flow through our veins and our meridians, and enter us through our leaves and our roots.
The planetary transformer that used to gentle the solar wind now agitates, inflames.
A lake in the United Kingdom’s which is the largest. Located in Northern Ireland, Lough Neagh; swarms so densely with flies every spring and summer that residents shut their windows against the living smoke.
Clothes left out on a line are covered with them. So is any windshield on a vehicle traveling around the lough’s 90-mile shoreline. Until 2023.
Last year, unbelievably, no flies were to be seen. Windshields and hanging clothes were bare of them. None flew into open windows.
Other species that used to eat them were gone as well - ducks, frogs, fish, eels, and predatory insects.
Fly larvae were not there to keep the lake bottom clean. Little was alive in the lough except an overgrowth of algae.
“Has the ecosystem of the UK’s largest lake collapsed?” asked The Guardian in a February 19, 2024 article.
Has the ecosystem of the entire Earth collapsed? we ask, for the same is happening all over, according to reports I have been receiving for a year from almost everywhere on every continent.
On May 17, 1998, a company named Iridium completed its launch of a fleet of 66 satellites into the ionosphere, at an altitude of only 485 miles, and began testing them.
They were going to provide cell phone service to the general public from anywhere on earth.
Each satellite aimed 48 separate beams at the earth’s surface, thus dividing the planet into 3,168 cells. Reports of insomnia came from throughout the world.
Iridium’s satellites began commercial service on September 23, 1998. The effect was devastating.
I contacted 57 people in my network in 6 countries, plus two nurses, one physician, and a support group for patients. 86% of the people I interviewed, and the majority of patients and support group members, became ill on Wednesday, September 23 exactly, with headaches, dizziness, nausea, insomnia, nosebleeds, heart palpitations, asthma attacks, ringing in the ears, etc.
One person said it felt like a knife went through the back of her head early Wednesday morning.
Another had stabbing pains in the chest. Some, including me, were so sick we weren’t sure we were going to live. We were all acutely ill for up to three weeks.
I suddenly lost my sense of smell on September 23, and did not recover it for six years. Mortality statistics from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control revealed a 4% to 5% rise in the national death rate beginning the last week in September and lasting two weeks. Some people reported a reddish sky the night of September 23.
In early December 1998, I again received telephone calls from far and wide asking me what had changed. Orbcomm, providing data service to industries, had gone commercial on November 30 with 28 satellites orbiting 500 miles up.
On July 25, 1999, another company, Globalstar, achieved worldwide cell phone coverage with 32 satellites, 876 miles up, and began testing.
I again received calls from people who were certain the earth felt different again.
On February 28, 2000, Globalstar completed its constellation of 48 satellites and went commercial. Nausea, headaches, leg pain, and respiratory problems were widespread, both among people who called themselves electrically sensitive and people who did not.
The effects were felt starting on Friday, February 25, the previous business day.
Since March 24, 2021, not only has human health deteriorated, but the biodiversity of the Earth, everywhere, has plummeted.
People have not so much noticed the decline of the larger wildlife like wolves, bears, lions and tigers, which were already scarce, but they are shocked by the total disappearance of the smallest animals that were only recently so common you couldn’t open your windows without them flying in.
They are shocked by the disappearance of all the frogs that used to swim in their ponds, the birds that used to nest in their trees, the worms that used to slither on the ground, the insects that used to fly through their windows and cover their clothes hanging on the line.
My newsletters of March 29, June 21, September 20, October 17, and November 28, 2023 carried major stories about this from various parts of the world.
My newsletters of December 5 and December 26, 2023, and January 9 and February 6, 2024 quoted from individuals all over the world who have emailed or called me, and I have a huge backlog of more such reports that you can read when I publish them in the future.
If we want to have a planet to live on, not only for our children but for ourselves, the radiation has to stop.
Not only do the cell towers have to come down that are so ugly to look at, but also the cell phones that we hold in our hands and have become so dependent on, and the satellites that are squeezing all the life that remains out from under them. We are running out of time. End
I have edited the original article which is here if you are interested.
My old mum would have said ‘They are too clever for their own good’.
Ok next week I will get back to gardening ‘down to earth’ style and if you dont want to know what is happening and to do in your garden (after reading the above I am sure several people will use the unsubscribe button).
Those that do un subscribe thank you for being a subscriber and remember the world has changed in many ways and not for our betterment even if you dont like knowing so.
