The speaker discusses the longevity and origins of lighting technology, presenting several notable claims about the history and the modern lighting industry. They begin by highlighting a Mazda bulb, noting that the “old Mazda bulbs would last one hundred and twenty years.” They claim that General Electric (GE) and other light bulb companies responded by reverse engineering this original design to create bulbs that would break down faster, enabling more frequent sales of replacement bulbs. The speaker asserts that the original incandescent Mazda bulb demonstrated exceptional longevity, and they reference the “centennial incandescent” as still burning for more than a hundred and twenty years, with a specific mention that this can be looked up in California. A broader point is then made about LEDs and the environmental argument often used to promote them. The speaker asserts that LEDs, which many people hear are superior for saving the Earth, already had a technology foundation prior to LEDs. They claim that the light bulbs capable of lasting a century existed before LEDs. The speaker then asserts that LEDs were created by IBM and Monsanto, with the implication that the design and production of LED lighting involve entities described as a computer company and a toxic pesticide company. From there, the speaker links this history to contemporary use: bringing an LED bulb into a home, positioned above the head, is framed as bringing in a bulb “designed by a computer company and a toxic pesticide company.” The consequence, as claimed, is that this choice will affect the body, with specific adverse outcomes listed as brain fog, fatigue, blindness, cataracts, and hair-related issues. The overall argument ties the adoption of LED lighting to concerns about health and corporate influence, suggesting that the modern LED bulbs carry risks tied to their corporate origins and design. In summary, the speaker presents a chain of assertions: Mazda’s long-lasting bulbs inspired industry changes aimed at shorter-lived replacements; the existence of a century-lasting incandescent example (the centennial incandescent) still operating in California; LEDs being developed by IBM and Monsanto; and the implication that using LEDs introduces health risks such as brain fog, fatigue, blindness, cataracts, and hair problems due to their alleged corporate provenance.

Speaker 0: You've heard me talk about the five g towers and how it's not for Internet at all. It's a microwave weapon developed by the military to be used on the citizens. Take a look at this video. Speaker 1: They started at 09:11 at night until 09:11 in the morning. You see the pulse going from the East to the West Coast. Alright. Boom. You see that? Those are NEXRAD stations. Each of those towers are 750 kilowatts, pumping out between 2.7 to 2.9 gigahertz in the microwave range. This is roughly the same frequency as your microwave oven. Speaker 0: Now there are tons and tons of whistleblowers coming out about this technology and how dangerous and damaging and deadly it is. This is not for Internet. You wanna know if it's true? Go right up to one of those damn towers and see how good your service is. It's still gonna suck. These things are not for Internet service or communications. It's a weapon. They are frying you with microwaves while you sleep. If you saw in the video, did you notice where it wasn't? Where they weren't microwaving the population while they slept? All the areas of the country that are the least populated. Is that by accident? Those microwaves just magically don't go to those certain areas of the country? No. There's no reason to do it there. There's very few people that live there compared to the populated areas of the country that have huge cities in them. That's where you notice they are microwaving you to death. Are you feeling sick? Are you feeling lethargic? You can't think straight. You're not sleeping well. You're having crazy dreams. All of this stuff is radiation poisoning. Look up the symptoms of radiation poisoning. You're gonna see they identically match a lot of your symptoms that you're having. Funny enough, it also matches a lot of the symptoms of COVID. Crazy how that works. So I'm telling you guys, you have got to understand what's happening. And they're talking about putting up four times the amount of towers in the next four years. Why would they need that? We can prove that it's not for Internet. It's not for cell phone service. So why? You need to start asking yourself, why are they putting these things up at an unprecedented rate and then lying to your face about what they're for? Reach out. Let's connect. Let's figure out the plan of how we stop this.

Speaker 0 argues that LEDs emit radio frequencies that harm people, the same stuff that comes from a cell phone, and that blue light is toxic to our body. They claim a digital light on your face and a street light on your face, and criticize putting LEDs all over faces as silly. If sticking to any type of colored bulb, they say you should use incandescent or halogen or a UV bulb, and “you just go tanning.” They state there’s no need to put LEDs on the face and suggest it should be outlawed because they were never pushed. They claim LEDs are linked to cataracts and mess up health, causing a lot of brain fog, making people unable to focus; in the grocery store, people can’t think because the lights are affecting health. If natural light isn’t available, they recommend getting a candle and placing candles and salt lamps around the house, or, if not, using incandescents or halogens and not bringing LEDs into the house. They further claim that many people with health issues like ringing in the ears are affected by LEDs and Wi-Fi in the home, and that this combination will mess you up.

Speaker 0: Kevin Matas, with the California Brain Tumor Association, collaborates with emfscientist.org and other groups—two hundred doctors and scientists from 39 countries—who have looked at health effects from wireless radiation. From their work and others, we can clearly say that wireless radiation can cause cancer, neurological problems, immune system disorders, and reproductive harm. Our scientists, along with other groups, include people developing wireless health effects from various sources—brain tumors from cell phone radiation, neurological symptoms from Wi-Fi in schools, neurological and cancerous health effects from simple smart meters. Smart meters are wireless meters on homes to avoid manual readings. Regardless of the source, the health effects can be the same. Cell towers are the most powerful source of wireless radiation emissions. What brings me here today is the rollout of five Gs technology, which is very different from 2G, 3G, and 4G. This is because the wireless radiation uses a higher frequency. Our current wireless technology uses about 1 gigahertz to 4 gigahertz; this new five G technology is ultra high frequency, ultra high intensity, at 24 gigahertz to 90 gigahertz. To put this in perspective, 90 gigahertz is 90,000,000,000 electromagnetic waves per second hitting your body. We know people are already getting sick from the lower frequencies and we expect, our scientists expect, that these higher ultra high frequency microwaves are going to bring people to disease quicker and in a more intense form. The other problem with five G technology is these microwaves are very short. Old microwaves were about two and a half to three feet long; these are now about an inch to a half an inch long, and they don't travel very well. So they're going to have to put a little cell tower transmitter in front of about every two to 10 homes. This is a big problem because cancer rates around regular cell towers are about three or four times what they are normally, so we’re seeing a lot of things. It’s going to be continuous exposure as with other cell towers, but it will be emitting a much more higher frequency, high intensity wireless radiation. Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen, not only are these five G death towers going to double cancer rates in our country, they are going to be used to target individuals in a way never seen before. Since most people keep their smartphones on them like a tracking device, and since their political profiles are linked to their phones, it only makes sense that this is going to be an easy way to target people silently and without a trace. As you can see with these new five G death towers, they are going to be focusing beams of high frequency energy at a user's location. These five G death towers are in fact particle beam weapons that can be aimed at people. These particle beams move at the speed of light and track you wherever you go, and in most cases you'll be hit with particle beams coming from multiple directions. This truly is a national emergency considering who controls this technology. You saw how the IRS targeted conservatives. You saw how the FBI covered up the Las Vegas and Hillary investigations. Well, what do you think this beast system is going to do with Christians and conservatives on their networks? Zap, zap, and double zap. That's what admit it. That's what you would do if you were doctor evil. You'd poison the food, the air, the water, and you'd use these death towers to slowly induce cancer. Have no doubt about it. These five G death towers are bad news any way you look at it. So go to your city council meetings. Protest these bad boys from coming up in your neighborhood before it's too late. If you're listening to this, you are the resistance.

The transcript discusses LED lights and a supposed IoT (Internet of Things) capability. It states that on 04/09/2019, Target confirmed they had provided Internet of Things lighting. IoT lighting means everything is connected and data can be collected from ongoing activities. The example given is that if you walk into Target with your phone, the lights will sync up to your phone to obtain data about what you’re purchasing and what you’re doing. The narration links this event to the period just before 2020, suggesting it occurred prior to the surge in shopping and alleged shortages that year. The speaker then asserts that these LED lights have microscopic cameras in them so they can watch people from every angle. The claim is that other stores, such as Whole Foods, are using similar technology in price tags that can scan and see who is buying items to collect data. The main takeaway presented is that if you bring LED lights into your home, the same type of technology claimed to be in these stores could be in the LED lights you bring into your house.

Today, we discuss the replacement of healthy bulbs with fluorescent and LED bulbs. LEDs are said to save money, but the difference in cost is minimal. LED bulbs emit radio frequencies, which can cause interference, but this is not mentioned on the packaging. Fluorescent bulbs, marketed as earth-friendly and long-lasting, contain mercury and other hazardous materials. They also emit radio frequencies that disrupt various devices. The bulbs they want to ban actually last over 3000 hours, but there are no warning labels about radio frequency emissions.

The speaker describes observing moonlight and notes that the color spectrums appeared as lines, with certain colors missing, and that the moonlight is constantly changing. They claim this is why people go nuts during the full moon. They assert that the Epstein files were dropped two days before the full moon because “everybody goes nuts when they find out that the government's a bunch of pedophiles … and they need to be hung.” They argue that LEDs and fluorescence are very similar to moonlight, producing the same color spectrum, which is why LEDs and fluorescence are used in homes—to give people the same moonlight spectrum. The speaker claims that people walk around with pulsating and flickering light, “going completely crazy,” because the color spectrum from the moon flickers like an LED or fluorescent bulb during the full moon. They say they bought a device to see what the color spectrum is of what is coming off the moon. The speaker contends this is also why incandescent bulbs should be banned, arguing that incandescent bulbs are being removed for a reason: “number one, they're healing on the eyes,” and that there’s a red spectrum which is “actually very beneficial.”

5G towers are not for internet; they are a microwave weapon developed by the military to be used on citizens. NEXRAD stations, pumping out between 2.7 to 2.9 gigahertz in the microwave range, operate from 9 PM to 9 AM, pulsing from the east to west coast. These towers output 750 kilowatts, roughly the same frequency as a microwave oven. Whistleblowers claim this technology is dangerous and deadly. The towers aren't for internet service, as service near them is poor. Populated areas are being microwaved while people sleep, while less populated areas are spared. Symptoms like sickness, lethargy, inability to think straight, poor sleep, and crazy dreams are signs of radiation poisoning, matching COVID symptoms. The plan is to quadruple the number of towers in the next four years, despite proof they aren't for internet or cell service.

Speaker 0 says that at the lows people are buying incandescent bulbs because of a new ban, and it is important to stock up on these bulbs. Incandescent bulbs are described as very natural to our eyes, and it is emphasized that one should put incandescent bulbs into the home and not LEDs. The speaker claims the problem with LED lights is that they burn out the back of the eye, which “causes cataracts,” and that smart bulbs and devices connected to WiFi ping radiation to the skull while plugged in. Therefore, the advice is to avoid anything with LED and anything that's smart—specifically, smart remote, smart sensors, smart plugs, and smart bulbs. The speaker notes that these are all LED lights installed in the hardware store. Additionally, the speaker urges avoiding anything with Bluetooth built in because Bluetooth operates at the same frequency as a microwave. The overall message is that many marketing tactics push the new bulbs, but one should stick to incandescent bulbs.

In the video, Speaker 0 explains that LED lights are being pushed aggressively, even given away for free, because they will connect everything in the Internet of Things. These LED lights can be connected to a cellphone, a tablet, all home appliances, the thermostat, cars, the garage, and more, allowing monitoring and data collection from these devices. They can also be used to turn off devices based on climate reasons and other factors, meaning you are connected up to the Internet of Things. What’s interesting, according to the speaker, is that these LED lights “ping a lot of microwave radiation,” which will be demonstrated in the next video. The speaker describes using a TriField EMF tester to check the radiation coming off the LED lights and shows results labeled as “off the charts.” The claim is that by bringing these lights into the home, microwave radiation is being pinged into the house. The speaker asserts that this microwave radiation can impact health, listing effects on the heart, brain, eyes, skin, and other organs. The LED lights’ capability to connect to the Internet of Things is highlighted again as part of this scenario. The video then notes a claim about a 2016 announcement from the AMA, stating that LED lights can increase the risk of cataracts and eye degeneration, implying long-term harm to eyesight while allegedly promoting environmental aims. In summary, the narrator claims: - LED lights are being pushed and given away because they enable the Internet of Things, connecting to smartphones, tablets, home appliances, thermostats, cars, and garages for monitoring and control. - These LEDs allegedly “ping a lot of microwave radiation,” detectable with an EMF tester, described as “off the charts.” - The radiation entering the home is claimed to impact health, including the heart, brain, eyes, skin, and other organs, in addition to enabling IoT connectivity. - The speaker cites a 2016 AMA statement asserting that LED lights can increase the risk of cataracts and eye degeneration.

In the discussion, LED light bulbs are described as toxic and advisable to carry a warning label. The speaker presents two specific warnings about LED lighting: - Warning 1: The flicker effect. LED lights flicker at a frequency that is unperceptible to the eye but claimed to be brain-disrupting, potentially leading to sleep disturbances, migraines and headaches, brain fog and fatigue, and harm to the health of the eyes. - Warning 2: Unhealthy levels of blue light. LED lights are said to emit high levels of blue light, which can disrupt the circadian rhythm and affect mood. The speaker asserts the following factual contrasts to incandescent and halogen lighting: LED lights drain energy and life from the body, whereas incandescent and halogen lighting contain a full spectrum of light and infrared light that supposedly adds energy and light to the body, making people healthy. A call to action is issued to switch out lighting, with an optimistic note that the 2022 ban on incandescence and halogens might be reversed in 2025. The message emphasizes that these symptoms and effects can be life-altering for some individuals, and it ends with a request to share the video.

The speaker notes finding incandescent bulbs at Ace Hardware, highlighting a range of watt options such as 25-watt bulbs (including 25-watt globes) and some 40-watt bulbs, which the speaker says can work and are preferable to other options described as “torture.” They compare these to LEDs, pointing out that the spectrum of light from LEDs varies, with a specific emphasis on the yellow spectrum being “off the charts” in the examples shown. The speaker suggests that when entering someone’s home, you might as well ask what type of light bulbs they have. They raise a point about LEDs enabling additional features beyond lighting, stating that LEDs can be connected to the Internet and may have cameras, syncing with devices, and could watch or monitor you. This leads to the claim that the push toward LEDs was not only about saving energy but about having connected bulbs that could spy on people, while noting that old incandescent bulbs “don’t spy on you.” The speaker asserts that this surveillance motivation is connected to government actions, claiming that incandescents were being banned and eliminated because they supposedly prevented spying on citizens. The overall message contrasts incandescent bulbs with LEDs, presenting LEDs as part of a dystopian surveillance trend and portraying incandescents as non-spying alternatives.

There's no reason to bring any LEDs into your home. The none. Zero. Zilch. No reason at all. There are incandescent bulbs all over the place. And if people say I can't find them, you haven't searched. All you gotta do is type in incandescent bulbs. They will come up. You should have incandescent bulbs in your house. If you don't have incandescents, you could have halogens. If you don't have halogens, you could get those little reptile bulbs. And it's funny because the reptiles have better light bulbs than the humans. You know all the reptile bulbs are incandescent red light bulbs. That's what keeps the reptile healthy. So the reptiles have incandescent red bulbs, but the humans have LED cold bulbs. So yeah, when you start to sit here and think about the whole thing with you know why they're pushing LEDs is because they want your light bulbs to hook up to your WiFi, to hook up to your Bluetooth, to hook up all your devices in your house.

Speaker 0 argues that facial recognition will be used to unlock your digital identity, which will be a tool of control for upcoming agendas. Speaker 1 notes that elements of this control are already with us, citing Alexa as an example. Speaker 0 contends you are never alone in your home, because all devices and smart appliances are connected on a wireless network, many with cameras and microphones, monitoring everything all the time. Smart appliances communicate with the smart meter, sending real-time usage data. If a Ring camera is in the home, a mesh network is formed and all devices are being tracked within the home, including location and usage, with data going to Amazon’s servers. Speaker 1 adds that when you leave your home, modern vehicles are connected to the Internet and tracked continually. On the streets, smart LED poles and smart LED lights form a wireless network that track your vehicle. They claim data is collected 24/7 continuously on every human being within these wireless networks. Speaker 0 asserts this is not good for health due to electromagnetic radiation. Speaker 0 further states that in the long term the plan is to lock up humanity in smart cities, a super set of a fifteen minute city. Speaker 1 says they’ve sold smart cities to state and local governments and countries as about sustainability and the city’s good, but claims the language from the UN and WEF and their white papers is inverted. The monitoring is described as about limiting mobility and no car ownership. Surveillance via LED grid is described as why smart lighting is death. Water management is about water rationing; noise pollution about speed surveillance; traffic monitoring about limiting mobility; energy conservation about rationing heat, electricity, and gasoline. Speaker 0 explains geofencing as an invisible fence around you where you cannot go beyond a certain point, related to face recognition, digital identity, and access control. Speaker 1 mentions that smart contracts can enable Softbrick to turn off your digital currency beyond a certain point from your house. The world is described as turned into a digital panopticon. Speaker 0 concludes that this means you can be monitored, analyzed, managed, and monetized.

Mark Baker, founder and president of the Soft Lights Foundation, argues that LED lights are devastating to health and leverages his personal experiences to advocate for change. The interview explores how blue-rich LED lighting has become ubiquitous, including car headlights, streetlights, household general service lamps, and indicators on appliances, as well as assorted night-time sources like smoke detectors and alarm indicators. Baker describes his awakening to the issue in the mid-2010s. While teaching in California, he noticed blue-rich LED headlights and 5,000 Kelvin LED streetlights that disrupted his psychological well-being. An apartment on the second floor was flooded with intense light, leading to a mental breakdown when his school district refused to switch off the lights. This event redirected him from teaching to full-time advocacy, involving him in learning the physics of light, government regulation, and connections with others suffering from LED exposure around the world. He recounts that many people initially resist confronting LED issues because the problem feels overwhelming. He notes the pervasiveness of LED lighting—car headlights, streetlights, household lamps, and even emergency vehicle lights—and emphasizes that bureaucrats often feel overwhelmed, which can impede action. He describes a community of people who report a range of sensitivities and health effects linked to LED exposure, including migraines, epileptic seizures, and, in some cases, suicidal ideation, as well as driving difficulties for people with astigmatism. He frames the community as “canaries in a coal mine,” highlighting that different people have different sensitivities and that some may be unaware of how LED lighting affects their sleep or mood. The discussion highlights that LED lights emit a spike at blue wavelengths, particularly around 450 nanometers, which is tied to regulating circadian rhythms and wakefulness. Baker argues that artificial light at night interferes with melatonin suppression and cellular repair processes, thereby disrupting sleep and health. He asserts that the natural night environment should be preserved as much as possible and that LEDs, with their spectral distribution and lack of infrared, diverge significantly from natural light. On how LEDs work, Baker explains that LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, a solid-state lighting technology that emits photons through an electronic process, not combustion. He highlights issues such as flicker due to drivers, directional light emission, and the spectral power distribution across wavelengths. He notes that the Department of Energy acknowledged the directional nature of LED light and, at one point, eliminated infrared light as waste heat; later, scientists recognized the benefits of infrared light for certain applications. He contends that the shift from incandescent to LED lighting was pursued for energy savings but without proper standards for safety, flicker, or quality, and without adequate evaluation by the FDA, which the law required to collaborate with the DOE. Baker traces the policy trajectory: the 2005 Energy Policy Act directed DOE to evaluate solid-state lighting, and by 2007 the minimum luminous efficacy standard (45 lumens per watt) effectively phased out incandescent bulbs. He argues that the DOE did not ensure safety or quality standards, focusing only on efficiency. This, he claims, led to widespread adoption of LEDs without comprehensive health safeguards and without FDA oversight. Regarding sleep and nighttime exposure, Baker cites evidence that even tiny indicators and devices in bedrooms—smoke detectors, nightlights, routers, and other LED indicators—can interfere with sleep and circadian rhythms. He notes that skin exposure to light also influences physiological processes, expanding the scope beyond ocular effects. He stresses the potential health risks associated with long-term exposure, including cancer, diabetes, and mood disorders. Regarding solutions, Baker argues for reintroducing incandescent technology and reducing reliance on LED-heavy lighting, while pushing for FDA evaluation and regulation of LED products. He mentions practical adjustments, such as choosing lower color temperatures (around 2700 Kelvin or lower), avoiding flicker, and using alternative bulbs for fixtures where possible. He describes programs and campaigns by the Soft Lights Foundation, including a petition against blinding car headlights and a system for LED incident reporting to the FDA. He points to resources on softlights.org, a campaign to stop blue-rich LED headlights, and a Facebook group called Ban Blinding LEDs for community support. For actionable guidance, Baker encourages individuals to minimize night-time LED exposure in their environments, shield streetlights when possible, switch to warmer lighting, and seek regulatory change to allow safer lighting options, including incandescent or incandescent-inspired LEDs with infrared components. He invites people to learn more through Soft Lights Foundation resources and to participate in advocacy and reporting efforts.
