Smart Meters Threaten All Life As We Know It

Ever stop to ponder our modern day and think to yourself, "Geez, the world has become a really weird place since 911."? You're not alone.

Environmental depletion, mass extinction, pollution ... Lack of clean air, water, food ... Mass disease and starvation. Corporations attempting to control most every aspect of our lives, including food and water. The world has never been a more toxic place.

Just when you thought there was enough ill in the world, your electric utility company is set to deploy something that you absolutely must be aware of. Introducing the "smart" meter, the revolutionary way our governing powers intend to fry us and be involved in every aspect of our lives.

According to my local electric utility Seattle City Light, more than 500 utilities across the nation already use this technology, with 50 million advanced meters installed at 43 percent of American households (Institute for Electric Innovation, 2014). So that must make it OK right? Wrong.

These meters emit Radio-Frequency (RF) radiation up to thousands of times greater than mobile devices, the health/safety hazards of which is still under-studied and/or under-disseminated. Further, these advanced meters, as they are also referred, have the ability to communicate with every piece of hardware or appliance in our homes and relay that info. back to the utility as well as third parties interested in knowing our personal whereabouts. That game gesturing technology is awesome, right? Depends on what it's being used for. Playing games. Government spying, detecting our every action, thought and mood. Talk about Orwellian dystopia. It's more like a horrible nightmare.

This subject recently came to my attention at a group meeting for Lyme disease patients such as myself. One of the attendees is organizing a community group to stop these smart meters from being deployed in their Seattle neighborhood. I don't want them in mine, either.

Today I called down to city hall in the small, suburban Seattle town in which I reside. I spoke with community outreach manager Amanda about this issue. She mentioned our town has no cell phone towers, and this is by design. She's going to look into this issue with the city manager as well as their utility contacts and get back with me early next week. Amanda said if we don't have anything on the books, I may be invited to speak to city council about this issue.

If you wish to further educate yourself on this subject, I highly recommend this site and documentary: www.takebackyourpower.net

My headline may seem a bit dramatic. Watch the documentary and then you decide whether it actually is ...
