Congress Threatens to Reverse Military Opposed FCC 5G Ruling

By B.N. Frank

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has ignored 5G warnings and opposition from EVERYBODY including the Department of Defense (see 1, 2, 3, 4).  Now Congress is finally stepping in. 

From Just The News:

Bipartisan leaders of two powerful congressional committees told the Federal Communications Commission to reverse a ruling allowing a Virginia company to activate a 5G network that could disrupt military and other GPS signals.

The leaders of the House and Senate Armed Services committees wrote in an appeal Wednesday that they would force the issue through legislation if the FCC does not overturn its own decision to allow Ligado Networks to implement a network on the L-band spectrum.

Ligado’s plan to use the L-band would risk interfering with signals that are important to national security, wrote Sens. Jim Inhofe and Jack Reed, along with Reps. Adam Smith and Mac Thornberry, who are the chairmen and ranking members of the two committees.

The four leaders noted that the country’s current most pressing concern is the coronavirus pandemic.

“But the Federal Communications Commission has used the crisis, under the cover of darkness, to approve a long-stalled application by Ligado Networks – a proposal that threatens to undermine our global positioning system (GPS) capabilities, and with it, our national security,” the leaders wrote.

The proposal from Ligado is opposed by multiple U.S. agencies, the leaders also reminded the FCC.

“The departments of Defense, Commerce, Interior, Justice, Homeland Security, Energy, and Transportation – as well as NASA, the National Science Foundation, the Coast Guard and the Federal Aviation Administration – all strongly object to Ligado’s plan.”

The committee leaders asked those FCC to cancel the Ligado ruling.

“If they do not, and unless President Trump intervenes to stop this from moving forward,” they wrote, “it will be up to Congress to clean up this mess.”

The FCC was considered a “Captured Agency” since before Trump was elected and they have become much worse (see 1. 2. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. 9. 10).  Despite warnings and opposition, commissioners are using the pandemic as an excuse to speed up 5G installation (see 1, 2. 3, 4, 5).  This includes launching tens of thousands of satellites with millions of antennas to blast 5G and WiFi from space (see 1, 2, 3).  Lawsuits have been filed against the agency for NOT protecting Americans from unsafe levels of radiation (see 1, 2) and 5G (see 1. 2, 3).

5G opposition in the U.S. and worldwide continues to grow because of risks to biological health (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), cybersecurity (see 1, 2), environmental health (see 1, 2, 3, 4), privacy (see 1, 2), and more.  Many cities and countries have taken action including banning it, issuing moratoriums, and passing ordinances (see 1, 2).
