What I really know about smart meters

The only problem is that I didn t sign on to take part in or to pay for a large biological and environmental experiment that is not monitoring biology or the environment. As far as I know, neither did most of the residents on the United States. And I realize that my health is being quantifiably adversely affected by external artificial frequencies. However, many Americans are being affected by man made radio waves, and don t know it. Neither do their health care providers.

Opponents on RF technology claim it causes side effects like agitation, dizziness, fatigue, forgetfulness, headaches, interrupted sleep, leg cramps, ringing in the ears, and skin rashes. The Vincents have been experiencing many of those same problems since the meters were installed.

To switch to a non-RF meter that still works with the new smart grid, the Vincents would have to pay $253 for the installation and then fork over $51 per month to get the meter read by a PGE employee.

''I think a $50 a month fee is punitive,'' complained Vincent.

Smart Meter group may appeal lawsuit dismissal

A federal judge Friday dismissed a lawsuit against Naperville by the Naperville Smart Meter Awareness group, but left open an avenue of appeal. Judge John Z.

''This is actually a good thing for us,'' NSMA attorney Doug Ibendahl said. ''Most lawsuits go through amended complaints.''

Across the United States, Canada and Australia, people are being made sick by wireless smart meter technology. Utility companies, smart meter corporations and our governments are blatantly in the wrong, yet they refuse to admit the obvious, that they have made a colossal mistake by putting these toxic devices on our homes and in our neighborhoods.

This cuts right to heart of what kind of society we live in. How can we allow the basic rights of people to be trampled upon?
