“Illusion of Democracy Tested” in Australia Smart Meter Return

Yesterday’s events in Australia echo those in California and other places where people have said enough is enough.  Where people have refused to give up their power to utility corporations. Refused to give up their property rights.  Refused to allow hazardous technology to damage their families.

They’re our rights.  They’re our communities. They’re our homes.

But only if we stand up and protect them.

We’re with you Jason!

Trojan Horse Analog Meters Investigated

This meter looks like a safe analog. But it has a wireless transmitter hidden inside.

As if smart meters weren’t creepy enough, it appears that utility companies have been hiding wireless transmitters  in so-called ‘analog’ meters, without informing the public.  You might be paying hundreds of dollars a year for a meter that looks like a safe analog with a spinning disc or dials, but it is still pulsing microwave radiation.   Sound like a bait & switch scam?  It is.

Thanks to eiwellspring.org for shedding some light on the ‘trojan horse’ analog meter problem.  Aside from the identification methods in the article, the only sure fire way to make sure your analog is not a ‘trojan horse’ is to acquire an RF meter and test it yourself (something we strongly recommend in this age of wireless damage denial).

A Trojan horse ‘analog’ meter (L&G MX model) has been linked with a case of throat cancer in California that is currently the subject of litigation.  Shame on the utilities for playing such games.  It seems the little boys that created the Enron mess never grew up.

NSA Data Center ‘Melts Down’– Too Much Smart Meter Data?

Picture 2

The NSA data crunching center in the Utah desert is in the headlines again.  The Guardian reports:

‘Ten meltdowns over the past 13 months have caused hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of damage to machinery and baffled investigators at the agency’s data storage complex in Utah, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.’

Pssst.  Hey guys…I think it’s the smart meter on the side of your building……………………..

In another sign that big wireless stupid tech is damaging the climate:

‘The NSA chose Bluffdale largely because of cheap electricity. The centre uses 65 megawatts to run computers and keep them cool, racking up more than $1m in costs per month. The first electrical surge was on August 2012. The most recent occurred last month.’

But that doesn’t stop big tech from claiming the green mantle.   And like most utilities say when a smart meter burns down your home, “wudn’t us, guvna”:

‘David Eskelson, a spokesman for Rocky Mountain Power and Pacific Corp, which supplies electricity to the centre, said it was not to blame. “Our engineers conducted detailed studies to confirm – with NSA’s concurrence – that Rocky Mountain Power’s system was not the source of any of the problems.”

And the stupid grid marches on…..
