Those Protestors in Egypt, They Inspire People to Fight the Good Fight

Posted by on March 1, 2011 No comments

So says this individual (suspected of being a diligent warrior), moved by the story of a madman who built a chicken wire cage around his meters to stop them being changed (I can see that going really well when the whole condo building is disconnected by the utility). Of course, some of the people in Egypt were protesting with empty water bottles, or loaves of bread taped to their head.

 I commend the property manager. I have a smart meter (live in San Diego area) and it is the most horrible experience of my life, bar none. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO TAKE ANY MEASURES, EVEN DRASTIC ONES, TO AVOID THESE METERS BEING PUT ON YOUR HOMES. I am very sick from my smart meter, the utility won’t remove it. I cannot get even close to it without major sinus headache and pain in ears. Covered mine with aluminum foil to try to get some relief and JUST TOUCHING IT made me ill for three days (still ongoing today). Have had it for about 8 months, had symptoms I didn’t realize were from meter – sleeplessness (3 hours sleep per night, often) and shrill ringing in ears. Then, joint pain. Later much more, as the months progressed.

These meters are so dangerous that I must tell you my own life has been turned upside down due to the terrible health effects I have experienced, including: severe headaches and swollen, inflamed sinuses, dizziness and vertigo, ringing of the ears (to an extreme), cognitive issues (at times, it is hard to think and talk, can disorient, interferes with short term memory), heart palpitations, sleeplessness (getting 3 hours sleep a night), pain in the ears (ice-pick stabbing pains) that comes from inflammation of the acoustic nerve, teeth and gums hurting, facial pain, chills, a very uncomfortable feeling when near the meter, the new development of electromagnetic and rf radiation sensitivities (cannot use my cell phone without becoming ill, nor my computer without special shielding, nor be in the presence of DECT phone systems (cordless), nor be where there is WIFI or wireless internet – a disabling condition that is recognized in Sweden called electro sensitivity), and more. This fall, 2010, for the first time in my life, I developed a serious, large, rare and sudden rapid, volcanically-growing type of skin cancer on my face that can come from exposure to radiation, on the side of my face that faces the smart meter when I sat in bed reading for many, many hours, oblivious to the dangers. This cancer was cut out, leaving a scar on my face. My doctor can confirm all of the above.

THE UTILITY COMPANIES AND THE CPUC ARE PLAYING DUMB. THEY KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE SICK AND THEY DON’T CARE. MY UTILITY GOT $34,000,000 TO DEVELOP THE SMART METERS. DO YOU THINK THEY WANT TO FAIL? RESIST, WITH ALL YOU CAN DO – THE PEOPLE IN EGYPT ARE AN INSPIRATION.

VISIT WWW.SMARTMETERDANGERS.ORG for the reports and science that proves smart meter technologies are very dangerous to health.

Is there no end to the Evil that can be delivered by PG&E?! Look at how many words this one decided to write to the paper because she saw a meter installed!

Special to the Daily News

Posted: 02/15/2011 11:23:10 AM PST

Editor:

I received a letter from PG&E last week informing me I was on their installation list for the new and much talked about SmartMeter. In spite of all the written propaganda that PG&E has written and sends to customers in their efforts to convince everyone this new technology is in the people’s best interest, I have yet to hear anything positive to support those PG&E declarations.

In what I considered my best interest I telephoned PG&E to remove my name from their installation list as I did not want the new SmartMeter. I was quickly told they could not do that.

When I explained I had just lost my husband and I had not heard anything positive about the SmartMeter I did not want to be more upset than I already was at that time and to please take my name off their list. Although, the man who talked with me was very nice he told me he would put my name at the very end of the list. However, I did not have a choice. I would have to take the SmartMeter whether I wanted it or not. That statement was very hard to take being told by someone with a heavy accent who obviously was not raised in this country.

Needless to say my feathers were ruffled and being a woman and an American from the old school I resented being told there was not anything I could do. That statement only escalated my resolve to go toe to toe with PG&E over the matter of being forced to accept a SmartMeter.

For a week I gave the matter a lot of thought. Even scratched my head vigorously to stimulate the process. I know we must accept progress, but is this really progress or just another card up the sleeve of a large monopoly to cut their expenses and enhance their bottom line.

While writing this letter I noticed a young man installing a meter at the neighbor’s home so I ventured out to talk with him. He told me that he had a contract with PG&E to install the SmartMeters and I was not on his list that day. I was most happy when I heard that.

Nonetheless, he told me that I would eventually be on the list. When I told him my objections and that I was writing a letter to the editor of our local newspaper to vent my frustrations his expression suddenly changed and he looked very concerned. He told me to be careful about causing any problems for PG&E. He confessed that he had already been threatened by people and refused entry on properties. I told him that I could not help the actions of others but I felt it was wrong for PG&E to force the people to accept the SmartMeter without a choice and I felt compelled to continue my protest. He warned me that PG&E would retaliate by removing the old meter and leave me without any power whatsoever.

I am 78 years of age, and I took that warning as a threat. What else could it be? That warning told me just what sort of authority I was going to have to face. But even more to the point, since when does big business dictate to the citizens of California they must accept a product or survive without electricity? That is totally against our constitution of civil rights, and I do not remember voting for SmartMeters. So I am taking the only option left to me, that being the power of the pen.

I am sending this letter to all my elected officials. I believe I should have been offered a choice, whether to remain on the old system should I not want the new SmartMeter. Who knows I too may have decided to have a SmartMeter once I heard positive things from customers who were really pleased with the performance of this new technology, but until then, I want the choice of staying on the old system without the threat of retaliation.

To those who already have a SmartMeter, just a thought for the day. I do not know anything about electricity, but I do know the new SmartMeter does not run on batteries. I wonder, if to monitor the power usage on your electricity line does the SmartMeter use power from your line. After all that SmartMeter runs every second, every minute, every hour of every day and are you paying for it? Does PG&E give a credit to their customers for enhancing their bottom line.

I cannot help but wonder. If anyone is interested in joining the crusade against PG&E’s policy of retaliation to always control and maintain their power, please write to your elected officials.

It seems that the people’s only weapon is the power of the pen or to start a petition.

To obtain the names and addresses of your local and state elected officials you can call your local libraries and they will help you. Or see below.

Calls himself ‘Black Eagle’ – is he cool or is he nuts?

Posted by on February 27, 2011 No comments

He starts out so well, so measured, but it is a classic case of letting the rhetoric flow as his rant reaches beautiful poetic climaxes – I like Black Eagle as a web name though

 Black Eagle

Low level microwave exposure is nothing to treat dismissively. It may create sensible reactions in only a minority of people, but the “insensible” majority are just as much at risk for increased health problems down the line, just like everyone else. Should the majority merely spit and curse at the minority? Tell them to go to hell? The scientific and medical establishments have sold their souls to the Devil Money a long time ago, and cannot be trusted. Study your history of how the professionals always side with the Big Fascists of the day — in Stalin’s Russia, Hitler’s Germany, and now they line up to bark and scream, while wagging fingers in our faces, right along with their partners in the MSM, that there is no problem — not with vaccines, with GMOs, with all kinds of toxins in the water and foods, and additionally that we must submit, obey, bow down, and humble ourselves to every petty bureaucrat and “official” for whatever new whim grabs them, and by which they can grab more of our money. Don’t go quietly into the night. Rage at the dying of the light.

Oh, I See Now – this guy is right, everyone else is wrong

Of course, that is the fundamental truth of the internet. That everyone else is mad.

We’re in Marin again folks, showing off…no word yet on whether their local Sheriff has decided to throw the PG&E contractors in jail yet.

 Title 18, U.S.C., Section 241 -242 Conspiracy Against Rights & Under Color of Law

Title 18 of Federal law makes it a crime punishable up to ten years in jail for “using the law” as a bad excuse for violating people’s Constitutional rights

So, basically, when you get rid of all the legal jargon and break this down. While we are constantly being told that the CPUC has unquestionable legal authority here, which I never bought, the truth is:

If the CPUC (and obviously PG&E) is in violation of (directly or indirectly) anything set forth in/by the Constitution of the United States of America (which they clearly are, on more than one count)…their jurisdiction or legal authority is null and void and meaningless. Furthermore, any citizen has the right to make a citizens arrest in this case…including any law enforcement agent that aids or supports the OFFENDERS. Meaning..our local politicians and law enforcement agencies MUST ACT ON BEHALF OF THE PEOPLE in these matters or face arrest themselves as it is a direct violation of the Constitution of the United States of America which takes legal precedence over all other law. Period.

California, of course, and no Dennis, I haven’t seen Bikini Island. Could you lend me a copy? The title makes it sound quite saucy! It’s not about nuclear wastelands is it?

Radiation is not healthy

With all that is happening today this idea of smart meters has to be a joke.

Changes in weather patterns, global warming, acid rain, war, the intoxication of the masses, be it drugs and alcohol, political chaos, bad water, bad air, chem trails etc. Radiating our lives is not a good choice. Microwaves cook our food, what is it going to do to our brain? Going green makes more sense to me than nuking ourselves to death. Every time we have a major sun flare, we know what it does to the electrical equipment here on planet earth. I strongly disagree that technology is the answer toward advancement of civilization.

Healthy people are happy people, anyone knows that. A friend told me about this website: refusesmartmeter.com,great site, lots of signs and stickers, to keep these people out of my yard! Radiation is not healthy. Did anybody see the Bikini Island movie?

Those poor sailors were told that it was OK to go back where they had blasted off a atomic bomb. You could only imagine what happened next.

Nothing lived.

We are moving into the nuclear age, as I see it we had better know what we are doing.

Would this individual get louder and louder, and redder and redder as they gesticulate wildy, cover their audience in spittle and reach their climax at a much higher pitch than they started?

 Something to think about: San Bruno, California ! Eight People die in the Gas Explosion/Fire, last fall. Saftey, and more checking of old gas lines. Timely Inspections, and Quality Control. All old PG&E gas and electrial Gas and Electrical lines ! Please Repair, fix, Replace, and Inspect all of your existing gas and electrial lines first. Saftey & Lifes would be A SAFER and A REAL SMART CHOICE, before spending millions of dollars on a ? SMART METER ! What is more Important to PG&E ? A Life or a Smart Meter ?

And I Thought I Was Being Snarky

But the stopsmartmeters.com crowd over in lovely California clearly have much more time to spend on being a sarcastic little prick…see the article in its’ full glory: http://stopsmartmeters.wordpress.com/2010/08/28/understanding-radio-frequency-translated-from-pgese/

PG&ESE:  “As PG&E deploys SmartMeter™ gas and electric meters across Northern and Central California, some customers and communities are asking about the possible health effects of radio frequency emissions from the meters. We hope this information will help answer those questions.”

English Translation: As PG&E forces DumbMeter™ gas and electric meters onto residents across Northern and Central California, nearly two dozen cities and counties have demanded a halt to the program based on peer-reviewed scientific studies linking the types of emissions from DumbMeters™ to short and long term health impacts.  We hope the following information will help to play down these fears long enough for us to finish our installation of the millions of DumbMeters™ that we were stupid enough to purchase using the rate increases that our friends at the CPUC approved.

There are pages and pages of this stuff…

Alongside Robert Williams (see previous post), we have Susan Brinchman – a Californian crusader against the evils of smart meters who likes to cut and paste similar sentiments into any news article on smart metering…I can almost see ringing ears being linked to smart meters, but skin cancer? And destroying all life on Earth?

Here are several messages from Susan, spread across a range of reports:

I am VERY against smart meters. They are a menace to the public health and the stand that these forward-thinking towns and informed citizens are taking in Northern CA is a stand for the health of America. Don’t let the misguided federal government (FCC) and state gov’t (CPUC) destroy the health and loveliness of your towns and cities with these abominable devices. I have one on my home that has destroyed my health further. I now have ringing ears, headaches, and EMF sensitivities that I never had before. Also, sleeplessness and skin cancer … more, the list is a page long. The symptoms are all on the list for RF radiation emissions symptoms. Fight this with all you have, for you are fighting for your health and lives.

  SBrinchman10:30 AM on January 28, 2011

My smart meter brought health problems – a large number of them. At this time, I cannot use my own master bedroom as it is on the wall by the headboard, on the exterior. I have suffered (and still have) ringing ears and headaches. Also, it brought me emf sensitivity, cognitive issues and more. A menace to society, these should be removed. Instead they are being forced on us to make utilities richer. Disgusting. Using billions from stimulus funds to do so, too. Go to www.emfsafetynetwork.org to learn more.

 Susan Brinchman Jan 28

Smart meters are a public health menace. Do not be fooled into thinking otherwise. If you like a high-pitched ringing sound in your ears that actually hurts, dizziness, headaches, skin problems, sleeplessness, and even worse … you’ll love smart meters. This is one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard of. It is enough to kill off all life on earth. Resist smart meters to all extents possible.

This is a worrying trend – more Smart Meters in ‘Not Evil’ controversy

Posted by on January 27, 2011 3 comments

After all the good news coming from Marin County – the home of the Meter Evil disciples – seems now to be getting replaced by stories of ‘common sense’ and ‘those crazy hippies’. Here are some comments on an article covering an administrative decision not to go to war with PG&E

  • Way to go Sheriff and DA. These people are nuts. I bet most of them spend all day on their wireless laptops and cell phones getting WAY more “harmful” exposure than from their SmartMeters. Fools.If I ever get a chance of “dating” one of these chicks I’m going to use a few layers of tinfoil as a condom. :-)
  • Could we PLEASE get a county board that is interested in things like financing, pension shortfall, and road maintenance and vote out this tinfoil-hat crowd?
  • Hey man.. This DA and Sherriff are going down. We are going to do a recall on them starting tommorow. We will be setting up a table at the Whole Earth in Fairfax and one at the side of the road in Forest Knolls.
    Just look for our tie dyed endangered red gullied lizzard t-shirts man.

Not Evil? In Marin County? But Still Mental?

In response to reports of the moratorium in California set by a bunch of people who have governance over very little, especially the installation of smart meters. This guy evidently isn’t worried about having a smart meter, but I wouldn’t want to talk to him about it, or anything else for that matter…

Smart meter is nothing more than a way of selling you more junk you don’t need and to raise the price of the electricity you use. The “meter” is just the beginning. You will need a smart meter so that the CPUC can begin its new three-tiered price system depending on the time of day, and peak demand periods. The CPUC (not PG&E) is requiring the use of this stupid device to line its own pockets. Whatever happened to the idea of free electricity from atomic energy? Not enough profit in that for the sierra club lawyers to replace all the redwood panelling in their Marin Co. Mansions every 5 years. Wake up you bunch of stupid idiots, this is not about radio frequency emissions, it is about screwing you out of all your money by selling you garbage windmill crap and dirty radiation spewing coal fired powerplants, and solar panels that need expensive toxic waste recycling. 1 million pounds of coal contains 1 pound of mercury, uranium, strontium, thorium, polonium, etc that is giving you and everybody else cancer by going out the smokestack of a coal fired powerplant–assuming the coal only has 1 ppm of these elements–most coal is 2-4 ppm. Now they have convinced you atomic power is dangerous, when in fact it is the only way to stop emitting deadly emissions like radiation and mercury.
