Technocrats: what a callous cartel...

Despite my Smartmeter testimony, special interests don't give a &*#k about SAFETY

While Covid’s tyranny awakened enough Americans to recognize the danger of trusting politicized authorities - and of the importance of informed consent with respect to vaccines, too few of our fellow citizens realize the same threat to health stems from Big Telecom’s rogue deployment of wireless antennas & other infrastructure outside our bedrooms and kids’ classrooms. (Send NHF’s email for wireless mitigation, and more wired connectivity that’s not as dangerous).

As cited in my testimony against wireless utility meters, wireless emissions have been found probably carcinogenic by the WHO, definitely DNA damaging by the NIH, and worthy of long term safety studies as an environmental pollutant by the EPA. There’s thousands of studies, so many that a judge just last year had to throw out the FCC’s claims that its safety guidelines were sufficient for ever-modernizing technology. Childrens Health Defense just published 4 new studies - including one that shows the industry’s capture of the regulatory process by being able to get away with ignoring any health effects of a biological nature.

Most utilities - granted monopoly status by the politicians a century ago - offer an “opt out” to the smart meter that unfortunately is not as safe as the special interests claim (particularly from what’s called “dirty” electricity surges throughout ones house - see this CHD Smartmeter story and the testimony from Virginian for Safe Technology radio frequency engineer Mary Bauer).

Last Fall in Virginia, Dominion, our electric monopoly, disconnected half a dozen homeowners not for failure to pay their bill, but rather for denying consent to either the smart meter or the opt out meter. As a result Senator Chase introduced SB 849 to clarify opting out had to include a safe option - either ANALOG or ETHERNET. My submitted testimony includes a side-by-side chart among the smart, optout and analog, comparing their safety:

With the unlimited donations the monopoly could provide to politicians - who could use such contributions for PERSONAL use (!) - we weren’t under the delusion that our bill would pass. Nevertheless, we gave good testimony (mine starts at minute 7:50).

The Commerce Committee members, obtuse to the facts or the legitimate dangers of Dominion’s bullying, quickly dismissed our effort:

If curious why Senator Spruill voted with us, that’s because he was shocked Dominion didn’t need to obtain first his INFORMED CONSENT before slapping a dangerous meter on his house. He didn’t like the fact he would have to “jump through hoops” to opt out.

Now look at the donations received in response to their compliant vote:

These special interest puppets even defeated a bill to end such donations.

At some point we’re going to have to push legislatures to end utility monopolies, and restore 19th century utility competition. Cato proposed more reasonable deregulation, after actual deregulation was slammed in the media (but notice the quote midway that “competition hasn’t been allowed to work”).

As groups like Virginians for Safe Technology and Americans for Responsible Technology undertake the education effort needed to elect politicians who will respect Informed Consent, send Natl Health Federation’s email for wireless mitigation.

The cartel won’t care without being forced to. Americans need to organize to demand our rights.
