More than any previous technological roll-out, governments and corporations are pushing extra hard to meet their timetable for the implementation of the new and completely untested 5G technology.

Steve Hilton of Fox News runs a show called “Swamp Watch” in which he regularly takes members of the Washington DC political establishment to the rhetorical woodshed over their involvement in unquestionably elitist moves of the rich and powerful.
