Lower Your EMF Burden and Say No to the Internet of Bodies

On his second day in office, the president made a big-splash announcement about the “Stargate Project,” a $500 billion initiative to vastly expand AI infrastructure in the U.S., led by SoftBank and OpenAI, along with “initial technology partners” Oracle, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Arm. At the press conference, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison pledged that this infrastructure could lead to personalized, AI-driven, mRNA cancer “vaccines.”

In Celia Farber’s estimation, the principal ingredients of the purported cancer moon shot—“synthetic biology, genetic snake oil, [and] mRNA fraud”—are “creatures of the hardcore atheist, billionaire, technocrat, ‘machine model of biology’ set.” Ellison, let’s remember, is a vocal champion of wall-to-wall biometric surveillance fueled by AI—including “biometrically authenticated credit cards, passport control, school entry, prescription pick ups, and government entitlements.”

Another term related to this dystopic vision is the Internet of Bodies (IOB). RAND—the think tank “at the heart of that interweaving of Pentagon concupiscence and financial rapacity that President Eisenhower aimed to call the military-industrial-legislative complex”—has been steadily laying the groundwork for public and policymaker acceptance of the IOB in reports titled The Internet of Bodies (2020) and Cultural and Technological Change in the Future Information Environment (2024). RAND defines the IOB as the “growing industry of devices that monitor the human body, collect health and other personal information, and transmit that data over the internet” and suggests that the IOB “may also ultimately lead to an ‘internet of brains.’”

For our Action of the Week, we concur with the suggestion recently circulated by Josh del Sol to “make a decision that you will NOT be part of an AI-wireless internet of humans” and instead take practical steps to lessen your EMF burden. For example:

• Use wired Internet, not Wi-Fi. If you do have Wi-Fi, turn it off at night.
• At home, use a corded landline.
• Keep your cell phone in a Faraday bag when not in use, and when in use, listen on speakerphone.
• Avoid wireless accessories (e.g., “smart” watches, headphones, keyboards, computer mouse).
• Use an EMF meter to assess your wireless environment.
• Get plenty of sunlight and spend time in nature.

Environmental Health Trust has many other educational and practical resources, and Catherine’s still-timely series of interviews with Jason Bawden also includes many helpful suggestions.
