Multilateration — a navigation technique based on measuring the difference in distance to two or more stations at
known locations that broadcast signals at known times. The LORAN-C (LOng-RAnge Navigation) uses low-
frequency (LF) radio signals transmitted by fixed land-based radio beacons.
Trilateration — the process of determining absolute or relative locations of points by measurement of distances, using
the geometry of circles, spheres; trilateration is the basis of GPS.
Triangulation — the process of determining the location of a point by measuring angles to it from known points at
34
either end of a fixed baseline, rather than measuring distances to the point directly (trilateration).
Microwave towers also act as autonomous switching stations. If city power goes out, two
supercomputers cooled and powered by propane generators can handle traffic. If the generators
fail, telecom corporations can set up temporary mobile cell phone towers. Conversely, since the
PATRIOT Act (now quietly continued by Executive “autopen” as the PATRIOT Sunsets
Extension Act of 2011), the FBI and Secret Service have standing authority to jam signals and
35
shut down cell phone towers —which is why it was more than suspicious that when Hurricane
Katrina knocked out landlines, cell phones, and BlackBerries, no mobile towers arrived, nor was
power reinstated, almost as if New Orleans was to be kept isolated. Even ham radio signals and
frequencies were blocked. 36
TOWERS MAKE ISOLATING CITIES POSSIBLE . . .
There are thousands of stories about the human fallout from cell towers. The 2010 documentary
Full Signal: The Hidden Cost of Cell Phones (fullsignalmovie.com) exposes the dangers of living
in proximity to these towers. One story the film tells is of the Kgosi Nkolo Kgafela II in
Mochudi, Botswana who had to flee the palace in 2007 after his father died of a brain tumor due
to microwave emissions from a Mascom tower. His people shut down the tower so the Kgosi
Nkolo could return to rule from his palace, after which “unknown people” destroyed the tower. 37
Barrie Trower was subsequently invited to educate the people about microwave technology.
Since communications have gone digital, telecom defense contractors have been building and
calibrating dual-use millimeter wave cellular systems. Video feeds to your wireless device
depend upon satellites, base stations, and wireless providers balancing their 200 MHz piece of
the bandwidth with other providers’ pieces of the bandwidth for third generation (3G), fourth
generation (4G), and now fifth generation (5G) Long Term Evolution (LTE-A). The 28–38 GHz
frequencies and steerable direction antennas of millimeter waves overcome bandwidth shortages.
But wait a minute. The truth is there is no bandwidth shortage or need for wider bandwidth,
thanks to the shift from analog to digital. In fact, masses of frequencies above 300 GHz remain
38
unallocated by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Now, it’s about high digital
bandwidths for data “stacking”: the higher the frequency, the greater the bandwidth. Encrypted,
digitized data are now stacked in digitized pulses. With our atmosphere ionized as an “antenna,”
all of this spells no limit to data transmission, and yet the military is grabbing all the bandwidth
possible, even the garage door spectrum. 39
