My colleagues and I are presenting information to you today within 3public inputs, the final one concluding with our request.

We had hoped, along with you, that wireless 5G was only a future concernbecause the " small cell facility" distribution method is too expensive forless populated areas. However, now there are other methods of 5G

dissemination which put rural areas at more immanent risk, like AT& T's

AirGig" which turns the length of existing power lines into 5G radiatingantennas. Also, the reality is that US Cellular just received effective permit

approval by Josephine County Planning to install antennas utilizing thelower band of 5G frequencies.

Please note we are cautioning specifically about WIRELESS 5G. We believeit is this WIRELESS infrastructure which strips away Citizen Choice and ourright to privacy, and threatens individual freedoms and safety.

5G is about massive data capacity and almost instantaneous data analysis.A wireless 5G network will give whoever has access to it (telecom compa-

nies, the government, entities that buy and mine data and hackers ) accessto citizens' private communications and personal preferences. Your per-

sonal data is Big Business, and there are many buyers.

Credible articles report that the 5G WIRELESS network will enable the

ability to track citizens' movements via facial recognition software utilizedby cameras installed in our neighborhoods and communities, promotedfor various " helpful" sounding purposes. We are on the edge of losing theright to privacy, a freedom many see as a fundamental American value.Numerous publications also cite that the Wireless 5G infrastructure will en-

able those who control to enable potential multitudes of artificial intelli-

gence robots. Concern is also expressed that 5G antennas on our streets

are capable of emitting frequencies used by the military for crowd controlsee the research of University researcher Dr. Ben- Ishai). We urge you tolook into these aspects of WIRELESS 5G technology as soon as possible,as it appears that factual discussions are being removed from internet

searches and censored by popular social media sites, while whistle blowersare being discredited. One wonders, What is going on that inspires suchcensorship in a country that exalts freedom of speech?

Have you also not wondered, Why is the FCC so adamantly stripping localcontrol over wireless 5G, and attempting to force antennas onto ourstreets, next to our homes, and into the skies via tens of thousands of

satellites? Could the FCC really care that much that your videos play

faster? What is really going on here? I urge you, my Commissioners, to

take the action we are proposing today in order slow down the installationof wireless 5G in Josephine County giving you time to institute thecontrols you do have to protect individual rights and Citizen Choice.

Hello.

I have ben told to email you my public input for tomorrow' s Commissioners' meeting..Three of us who are submitting input for tomorrow are hoping our inputs can happen one after the other and goin this order:

1- Cassidy Geppert2- me, James Larrabee

3- Sha' ana Fineberg

Mine can be read by a Commissioner, but I believe the other two will be reading theirs by video on zoom.Thank you.

5/ 13 Public Input

James Larrabee

Williams

Thank you for allowing me to continue my colleague Cassidy' s brief and hopefully informative and thoughtprovoking input. The request we all make to you today will follow in Sha' ana Fineberg' s input.

According to the online " INTERNATIONAL APPEAL to Stop 5G on Earth and in Space,"the harm to humans,animals and plants from WIRELESS 5G has been documented in literally over 10, 000 peer reviewed scientificstudies. I suggest that you glance at its 123 references. But the issue, as the previous citizen input implied,

goes beyond health. The wireless 5G infrastructure has the potential to drastically impact citizens' right to

privacy as well as their safety.

Where Citizen Choice enters in to this arena is that non- wireless 5G data services avoids many of theseharms. Businesses and citizens can have the choice for access to these services if they wish. And they canhave that choice by what actually often ends up being be alocal money maker, fiber optic cable straight tobusinesses and homes where 5G services are wanted. This protects everyone' s rights. ( I know Dr. Fineberg

can provide you with resources regarding creating locally owned fiber optic networks.)

Local leaders are being intimidated into thinking that they have no power, and too often cower to the threat oftelecom lawsuits for violating FCC rules. According to expert telecom Attorney Andrew Campanelli, the realityis that if a locality is sued for denying a permit based upon rules that purportedly violate FCC rules, the case is

decided quickly in a summary judgement and the locality cannot be liable for any damages or telecom attorneyfees - at worst the permit must be granted. At this point, the local level is EXACTLY where we can best legallyassert and protect our rights.

Dr. Fineberg will conclude with our direct request for specific action on your part, this morning. at this meeting,if at all possible.

And by the way, you would do well to ask her to meet with you for an educational and Q and A session aboutwireless 5G - her breadth and depth of knowledge in that arena never fails to astound.

Thank you.

Greetings Commissioners.

I' m glad to be speaking to you sort of in person today. I' m bringing onespecific request to you to actually do this morning, at this meeting if at allpossible.

I do believe that it is each of your desire to retain local control to provide

Citizen Choice to Josephine County citizens. Thus, before local authorityis eroded any further, and before more new antennas are installed inresidential areas opening the door for 5G via slam dunk " upgrades" andcolocations, I urge you to approve an official and clear Directive to

Planning encompassing three things — and the suggested wording forthem is in bold in your written copy of my Public Input.

1- During this emergency period and its impact on staff, Planning

shall not process any applications for NEW cellular antennas, as newantennas fall within non-essential services.

my comment: This power has been explicitly given to you by the FCCand Homeland Security and I have already sent Wally, the legal references.Let's slow this thing down so we can get local controls in place, and youhave the time to find out more of what is really going on.

2- The primary goals of the updates to our cellular antenna codesshall be twofold:

a) to retain as much local control as legally possible of the installationof cellular antennas in the County

b) to do the utmost to protect Citizen Choice and Individual

Freedoms

3- It is recommended that Planning immediately hire an experttelecom legal consultant who has extensive experience with exactlyhow these the local codes should best read to meet the above two

goals.

my comment: This is because this is an extraordinarily complicatedfield. It would take Planning and Legal personnel weeks if not months to

integrate the complex new technology and volatile legal landscape and

I

I

create the ideal codes, while an expert legal Consultant could create the

most effective codes to meet your goals in the shortest time possible, at

the least expense.

Attorneys Andrew Campanelli and Kenneth Fellman are two top experts inthis field. Either one of them could take the information we already havecompiled and give us, rather quickly, a superb set of codes.

I ask that this threefold Directive be ideally approved today at this meetingif at all possible, in order to secure Citizen Choice, Individual freedoms,

and the maximum possible local control.

At the start of this meeting you pledged allegiance to... a republic... withliberty and justice for all." As our County leaders, please weild your powerwhile you have it, and make Josephine County a safe haven from theerosion of our liberties - and you will never regret it; it will be your true

legacy.
