‘I Didn’t Know My Bid To Expose ‘Perceived Truth’ Will Go Viral’ – Man Behind 5G Conspiracy Video

The man behind the viral video recording linking 5G, a fifth generation of wireless communications technologies supporting cellular data networks, to the spread of COVID-19, has been identified.

According to Guardian, Jonathon James is the previously unidentified individual who reached millions with unsubstantiated claims about Covid-19.

James, who regularly preaches at the Light City Christian Ministries in Luton, Bedfordshire, according to the report, was the voice behind the recording which spread round the world at the end of March.

According to the report, the pastor had made unverified claims that the coronavirus pandemic is cover for a global plot to install 5G mobile phone masts, track the world’s population through vaccines, and then destroy human society as we know it.

“It has nothing to do with biological warfare but is our bodies reacting to radiofrequency radiation,” he told listeners in the 38-minute recording, claiming the real cause of global deaths was new mobile technology causing cell poisoning.

“They are using coronavirus to try to hide the fact that people are dying from the 5G frequency”, he said.

Although James, a former Vodafone executive and evangelical pastor was not the first individual to attempt to connect the pandemic and 5G, the popularity of his recording grew at the end of last month.

“The coronavirus is not what’s killing people, it is clearly, categorically, unequivocally proven that the radio frequencies we are being exposed to are killing the people.

“God has blessed me with the ability to bring disparate pieces of information together that puts the puzzle together and makes sense of it.”

The viral massages had resulted to people believing the conspiracy theory and began to burn down phone equipment and harass telecoms engineers in the UK and some other countries.

When he was contacted, he said he “was absolutely shocked that [a] somewhat ‘private message’ to a dedicated small community went viral and [was] ubiquitously covered [on] various social media platforms.

“For the record, I certainly wasn’t trying to vilify, incriminate or implicate any mobile network operator for their commercial endeavours to roll out their unified telecoms and next generation of mobile topologies in this regard.

“Had I known my voice note would have gone to a wider audience I certainly would have contextualised my thoughts, been more specific on what I was sharing citing references, and far less explicit. I was simply trying to summarise what the ‘perceived truth’ was behind this bizarre pandemic in the interest of serving my community.”

International radiation watchdogs have since cleared 5G as safe, while NHS bosses have called on people to stop spreading rumours linking the pandemic to 5G and threatening vital infrastructure.

Many copies of the recording have been deleted by YouTube for breaching its policy on dangerous disinformation but new ones are being uploaded each day and spreading through other instant massages platform.

Much of the clip’s claims to credibility rely on James’s assertion that he is the former head of the largest business unit at Vodafone, supposedly giving him the inside track on new technologies at one of the world’s biggest telecoms companies.

Vodafone insiders told the Guardian that while James had worked for the company, he was hired for a sales position in 2014 at a time when 5G was not a priority for the company and was unlikely to be in his remit. They said he ultimately left Vodafone after less than a year.

Despite this, many of the leading online anti-5G groups repeatedly refer to the supposed censoring of a “former Vodafone boss” as a key source backing up their beliefs, with the recording spreading out of the UK and reaching large audiences in the US and Nigeria.
