U.S. Military Expands 5G Pilot Programs; "technology could be used to surveil and dominate...

• Activist Post

American opposition to 5G deployment is not new and it is not going away (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6).  Dangerous aviation interference issues have not been fixed at airports (see 1, 2).  Over the years, numerous other problems have been identified and reported regarding 5G as well.  Nevertheless, deployment and activation continue and increase, including by the U.S. military.

From Children's Health Defense:

The U.S. military's chief information officer (CIO) and former CIA deputy director John Sherman said his office will assume control of all 5G-related activities in the U.S. military and expand the military's 5G pilot programs — a move critics said could lead to increased surveillance of U.S. citizens.

The move will shift the Pentagon's 5G efforts from the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, Heidi Shyu, to Sherman's office.

The transition will officially take effect on Oct. 1, but Sherman said his office has "already been working left seat, right seat with research and engineering on this, [in] a very close partnership with Honorable Heidi Shyu and her team."
