Indeed, at the time my grandad died there was a statistically higher number of people in the areas around the radio masts than in ones further away. It may well have been an anomaly, or it may not.
Normally the shorter the wavelength the higher the energy. You wouldn’t put your balls in the microwave (12cm) but you would put them next to a mobile (30cm). The longer waves pulled through the receiver banks at Rugby were much longer at around 1000m but also at much higher power and constant.
Either way it’s worth a decent physics doctorate to assess the impacts on human health of prolonged exposure to different lengths of radio radiation. Probably not provable either way due to lack of control data.
Definitely worse places than my front trouser pocket even just on my person 😂
Nothing I have seen in terms of the electromagnetic spectrum is carcinogenic other than in the ionising radiation part of the wavelengths.
I’ve not seen anything to support the theory either and would have expected to if it had any credibility. I agree with you, seems unlikely.
I will look again though given it was quite an issue around there a few years ago.
For example, the not so serious measles of my 50's/60's childhood is now very nasty and far more virulent. The "not so serious Measles" of the 50's and 60's was virulent but in the same way as Covid-19 some people had it worse than others and died. It has come back because of idiots believing the antivax campaigners who thought the vaccine had a side effect of autism ( a theory that was quickly discredited but is still believed by many who expose their childrent to Measles, Mumps and Rubella by not having their children vaccinated. Apparently we now have over 10% of the population no longer having the immunity and wondering why the 20 year olds are dying of the disease again.
These scientifically unfounded theories are dangerous and people spreading them should be treated as modern day typhoid marys and shunned by society.

So you have to listen to Prince Charles don't you?
I love how loose her prediction is. ‘Around 2020’ which covers how many years before and after? Covid 19 also isn’t pneumonia like. It can cause pneumonia. ‘Resisting all known treatments’, I mean there’s no vaccine, but it can be treated. It also hasn’t just ‘vanished’.
These are some of her other predictions;
There will be a significant vaccine against HIV/AIDS in 2005” (p. 211).
• “The common cold will be over with by about 2009 or 2010” (p. 204)
• “By around 2010, law enforcement’s use of psychics will ‘come out of the closet’ and be a commonplace, widely accepted collaboration” (p. 180).
• “By around 2010, it will be mandated that a DNA sample of every infant born in the United States is taken and recorded at the time of the baby’s birth” (p. 182).
• “In about 2011, home security systems start becoming common … The windows are unbreakable glass, able to be opened only by the homeowner … Doors and windows will no longer have visible, traditional locks that can be picked or tampered with. Instead the security system allows access … by ‘eyeprints’” (p. 169).
• “There won’t be a successful manned exploration of Mars until around 2012” (p. 128).
• “In around 2012 or 2013 a coalition of five major international corporations … will combine their almost limitless resources and mobilize a vast, worldwide, ultimately successful movement to revitalize the rainforests” (p. 105).
• “Building codes for every home, store, and other public building by 2013 will include a mandate for silent, powerful, well-concealed air purifiers” (p. 174).
• “In around 2014, a law will be passed stating that if anyone accuses another person of a felony and it can be proven that the accuser knew the accusation was false, the accuser can be made to serve the sentence the person he or she falsely accused would have served” (p. 136).
• “By around 2014, pills, capsules, and even most liquid medicine will be replaced by readily accessible vaporized heat and oxygen chambers that can infuse every pore of the body with the recommended medications” (p. 209).
• “By the year 2015 invasive surgery involving cutting and scalpels and stitches and scars will be virtually unheard of” (p. 205).
• “Telemarketers will have long since vanished by 2015” (p. 171).
• “To give law enforcement one more added edge, by 2015 their custom-designed high-speed vehicles will be atomically powered and capable of becoming airborne enough to fly several feet above other traffic” (p. 190).
• “New houses by about 2015 will be both solar-powered and pre-fabricated.” (p. 168).
• “By 2017 the stigma of mental illness will be gone” (p. 243).
• “The search for extraterrestrials will ultimately end in around 2018 … because they begin stepping forward and identifying themselves to various international organizations and heads of state, particularly the United Nations, NATO, Scotland Yard, NASA, and a summit being held at Camp David” (p. 127).
• “Personal robots … able on voice command to cook, clean, serve drinks and meals, make beds, put away laundry and feed pets … will be a fixture in most upscale homes by 2015 … and affordable to the general public by 2019” (p. 172).
• “By the year 2020 researchers will have created a wonderful material … able to perfectly duplicate the eardrum and will be routinely implanted, to restore hearing to countless thousands … Long before 2020, blindness will become a thing of the past” (p. 203).
• “By 2020 we’re going to see an end to the institution of marriage as we know it” (p. 255).
• “By about 2020 we’ll see the end of the one-man presidency and the costly, seemingly perpetual cycle of presidential campaigns and elections” (p. 135).
• “The year 2020 will spark an amazing resurgence in the popularity of the barter system throughout the United States, with goods and services almost becoming a more common form of payment than cash” (p. 140–141).
• “We do have an asteroid collision in our future, in or around 2021 … It will come down harmlessly in a remote area of the Southwest” (p. 102).
You missed out the key "prediction" though @ValleyGary.
On page 190 (5th line down) she said "By 2019 Charlton Athletic will have a stable ownership and will be in the middle of 10 years of mid-table Championship football".

Didn’t an author in 1980 use very similar wording in a book he wrote. She probably read the book and has used the storey line as her own, claiming to be a modern Nostradamus
Bill Gates is getting absolutely abused on his last Instagram post. I can’t say I’ve taken much notice before, another conspiracy theory?
What did it say?
That he’s pro population control and that a vaccine he’s responsible for bankrolling through his foundation is killing children in poor countries. I think it might have been @SDAddick that mentioned a few weeks back that he had strong opinions about Gates, but I can’t be sure.

Bill Gates is pretty shady, where the depopulation stuff came from was him saying the world was already overpopulated and growing exponentially. I've not done tons of in depth research on him to say much more than that. I know he hasnt had his children vaccinated yet is big into vaccines. I'm happy to be proven wrong there though
Bill Gates position is a bit much, but he's bloody right when it comes to over population and that it needs to stop.
Gotta make sure that in any given nation, children are an economic burden, rather than a necessity. Would require a huge level of investment from more economically developed nations. Given that a lot of people can't stomach current levels of overseas aid, it would be a hard policy to sell.

How is that even possible though? China tried to control it's population growth with the only way possible and was condemned by thr world for being cruel and controlling.
I believe you yourself have two children, I want a second one day and plenty of people have more than that, especially in poorer regions.
I'm not sure there's a solution that would be acceptable to anyone and even if there was it won't end well, you'd just be left with a massively aging population with no one to look after and finance the pensioners.
It's called birth control. The trouble with the one child Policy was the bias against females and against the masses who didn't have connections. The Chinese system was Draconian as 2 should have been the number. The no sibling decree was a shocker.
I said on CL 5 years ago the state should help couples financially for their first two children ( they do already) but not a penny more for the rest. If you want or can't work out how birth control works then pay for your own children after the second child.
Bill Gates is correct on this over crowded planet, David Attenborough agrees with him. I see irony in the ex riches man in the world who gives billions of pounds away via his foundation having fake news spread about him on line.

But you can't force birth control on to people who don't want it, if someone wants to have 6 children I'm just not sure it's in any way moral to tell them it's not allowed. I agree the state shouldn't help them, but in the areas with the highest birth rates I doubt any government assistance exists.
The Chinese system was draconian as any limit is exactly that and would be impossible to enforce almost anywhere else in the world.
They are both absolutely right, but nothing can, or will be done about it, until it's too late.
In many cases in economically developing nations, the more children you have, the more hands you have to help with whatever work you do to survive. In many other cases, most organised religions have an incentive for followers to multiply. Them's two big hurdles to overcome in addressing overpopulation.

She's clearly mental!
It's always been really stupid in here.
It might be.
Remember where you heard it first.
Wibble.
