I see one thing that doesn't add up: radio receivers were in 40 percent of homes by 1930. Everything was painted with lead. How did they work if it blocked radio frequencies? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to believe this but my logical side has questions.
The amount of actual lead in the paint was TINY, it wasn't there to create a solid metal surface, like a faraday cage, which WOULD block all signals, the lead was only there to make colors brighter and deeper.
No signals were blocked by lead paint. Its as silly as trying to say "they banned leaded gasoline because the lead fumes blocked all their 69G radio waves!!!" No, they banned leaded gasoline because it DID pollute and cause health problems.
Dumb theory, with zero thought put into it, can be debunked in SECONDS using common sense.
For what it’s worth, radio waves are quite different than X-rays, etc. I don’t know if a few coats of lead paint would stop it, but I’d like to retain that option of using it if it was effective.
The government doesn’t mind you being exposed to toxins, but for some reason they felt compelled to act on the few cases of kids eating paint chips.
This has made the rounds before on the internet. People used to have radios with total lead painted houses, probably on the outside too. Yet most homes had AM radios against a wall with nothing more than the loop antenna built into the radio. The entire house would have to be made of continuous lead sheets, no gaps, to do anything useful in blocking frequencies. Possibly, a small chance it could diminish higher frequencies but they they would still enter and leave, the walls and windows would have to be solid lead.
Lead is toxic though. Leaded gasoline and paint made people dumber and more violent. You can see the trend take about a decade after we stopped making lead paint and having unleaded gasoline where violent crime steadily dropped.
"The elimination of lead from gas is one of the great environmental achievements of all time," Browner said. "Thousands of tons of lead have been removed from the air, and blood levels of lead in our children are down 70 percent."
So where is you evidence that IQs or even SAT/ACT test scores have increased since 1973 when they started to reduce lead in Gasoline in America ?
Lead from gasoline or paint is not the same a lead poisoning , not that it is good for you.
But the psychologist ( not Psychiatrist) who claimed the poor inner city kids who were left alone and eating paint chips were brain damaged by the lead. While at the same time ALL outdoor surfaces including the grass where coated with lead from leaded gasoline. After the lead was removed from gasoline IQs and test scores have not risen but blood lead levels have declined dramatically. The psychologist was full of shit.
The amount of lead in PAINT is absolutely MINISCULE. Ask your grandpa how heavy paint buckets were back in the day.
For them to have had enough lead to leave painted surfaces with a thick layer of lead, each can would weigh an INSANE amount
My degree is in Fine Arts and one of my professors made us read a book on the toxicity of lead paint. I primed my canvas with white lead paint over rabbit glue because it gives a luminous quality to the work that you can't get with a gesso primer. But that being said, I was completely aware it was toxic and often got yelled at by the department chair for being a "young idiot". Well, in those days I wanted to emulate the Renaissance painters! (Young and stupid!)
Nevertheless, lead is highly toxic (as are many materials used to produce art). I would not recommend using it for walls especially if you have small children in your home.
My career ended the day my first child was born. I was not going to risk having toxic paint in the house. No matter how well you watch a little one there is always a chance they can get into something.
So no - - better to wave to whoever you think is watching you than have your kidneys, liver, and and other organs fail.
No -- the department chair's wife wrote a book which detailed all the hazardous materials used in the arts. That was the one we used. It was meticulously researched, but I imagine it's out of print by now. I still have my copy packed away with my easel and brushes down in the basement somewhere...
Lead paint flakes off of surfaces into large, soft, brittle sheets/chips. The paint chips also retain the shape of whatever it was painted onto, so the chips look interesting.
When you combine the interesting looking shape of lead paint chips, plus the unusual smooth, soft, brittle feel of the chips it is easy to understand why small children would put the lead paint chips in their mouths. Yes, really.
Source: I played with peeled lead paint chips as a child, it was strangely enjoyable to touch, and look at.
But no, I never chewed on the stuff, thankfully, because my parents watched me closely whenever i was near the window with the peeling lead paint, and made sure I didn't chew it.
Look up Faraday cage. Typically signal blockers are made of copper, not lead. Lead blocks some things, but not in the way it was used back then in paint. Copper is much more effective for a wider range of frequencies, yet still has to be setup in a very specific ways to be effective.
Unfortunately, this one more belongs in conspiracies.win than here.
I seem to recall studies that indicated lead in petrol lead to higher levels of violence, borne out by the massive drop once it was removed from petrol.
The drop in violence corresponded with the drop in the number of young males. Age 15 - 27. If we are talking about the same drop.
This was also a time where money flowed to police dept. and cold cases got more attention. Lot's of old cases got solved with the availability of money, time and advances in DNA science. A literal crime solving heyday.

Brain dead post. Toxicity of lead has been beyond question from the time that its use in cosmetics, pewter, and leaded solder as it was used to seal naval provisions were first questioned over 200 years ago. Great classical composers like Mozart and Beethoven manifested evidence of lead poisoning. Their lives were cut short. "Mad King George III" was lead poisoned over time and this had global implications.
Uncritical showboating posts like this are attention getters, but when someone posts stupidity like this on this board, condemnation may be expected to land swiftly.
The first factory to start including lead paint was opened in 1804. Lead use was huge through the late 1800s and early 1900s and was slowing down by the 1920s when Radios were just being introduced.
I always figured that corrupt politicians and lawyers develop a natural aversion to lead, and that was why.
Then I looked through patents at https://fightingmonarch.com, along with gangstalkingmindcontrolcults.com, and it's pretty evident why they REALLY hate lead paint.

This.
OP has a VERY poorly thought out premise.

Agree. And lead paint was a very real hazard.
I think a clue in videos like this is the music that's designed to make you think something sinister has been uncovered.
I don't believe this one.
Mr AI voice over helps with that summary TGP. Very comforting voice heard damn near everywhere.
Yes, I'm getting pretty tired of that. YouTube is like the lobby of a robot factory.
Ha, we posted at exact same time, same issues.
For what it’s worth, radio waves are quite different than X-rays, etc. I don’t know if a few coats of lead paint would stop it, but I’d like to retain that option of using it if it was effective.

Early cases like this were common. The government used kids to get their foot in the door on agencies like the FDA and EPA and so forth.
Different frequency range. Penetrates better than consumer wifi or the like.
Also keep in mind it would be a very thin layer of paint too. Wouldn't block everything anyways.

Lead is still toxic. And as a kid my 9volt tiny radio still worked inside my house.
But the psychologist ( not Psychiatrist) who claimed the poor inner city kids who were left alone and eating paint chips were brain damaged by the lead. While at the same time ALL outdoor surfaces including the grass where coated with lead from leaded gasoline. After the lead was removed from gasoline IQs and test scores have not risen but blood lead levels have declined dramatically. The psychologist was full of shit.
Lead doesn't efficiently block radio waves...
It DOES however, block other waves and frequencies, like X-rays and gamma waves.
only SOLID lead, like a quarter inch or more.
The amount of lead in PAINT is absolutely MINISCULE. Ask your grandpa how heavy paint buckets were back in the day. For them to have had enough lead to leave painted surfaces with a thick layer of lead, each can would weigh an INSANE amount
Iron Clad Retardo for the win! 😁

Did they have you read about "Paris Green" and it's connection to Polio ?
No -- the department chair's wife wrote a book which detailed all the hazardous materials used in the arts. That was the one we used. It was meticulously researched, but I imagine it's out of print by now. I still have my copy packed away with my easel and brushes down in the basement somewhere...
Here's a site that discusses historical pigments; where they come from and what ill effects the cause:
https://www.webexhibits.org/pigments/intro/pigments.html
Thank you! It will be a pleasure to dig into something in my own field...it's been far too long since I've had the opportunity.
Sorry this is bullshit. Your windows and roof aren’t coated in lead paint. Plus, the lead would have to be inches thick to prevent penetration.
This post belongs on Conspiracies dot win. Let them be retarded about this over there.

the other comments are getting into how this idea is pretty much disproven, and I agree.
HOWEVER, the mindset that came up with this theory is SPOT ON, and I like the way they think. Keep going.
This particular idea might not go anywhere, but for sure things that happened throughout history were not done for the reasons everyone was told.
Suspect everything. Never automatically believe anything. Can't do that anymore.
THIS also caused the house paint sales to skyrocket since house paint without lead only last a few years instead of 20 years!

Lead paint was banned because Tim Walz ate paint chips as a child.
Kek! 😹

I'd not heard that angle before, thanks for the info

Yep, and the amount of serial killers have dropped dramatically.

But you ignore my question of Intellectual improvement ?
Until you have seen what lead poisioning does do not blindly jump behind this.
just dont eat the chips or breathe the dust
They took lead out of gasoline also.
Was it because the government was listening to our gas tanks?
"nothing could pass through" Haha. Lol even.
One layer of paint blocks nothing. There's a reason we don't paint on faraday cages on things to insulate.
I'm order for lead to block signals, it needs to be THICK... Not one millimeter thin.
