There has been growing protest over the stupid decision by BC Hydro in collusion with Christy Clarke’s BC Liberals spending a billion dollars on smart meters from Itron, Inc. of Washington State
But perhaps I’m being a bit too generous in simply calling them stupid decisions. Both involved enough money to make a lot of people rich; so you can bet that these decisions were carefully calibrated to go ahead and damn the torpedoes. The problem is that both decisions took place in a growing atmosphere of public discontent in the way government and business is done—thanks to the financial crisis and it persistence.
CEO, Dave Cobb, left BC Hydro for pastures green in October, connected no doubt to the smart meter fiasco; although we’ll never know how since BC Hydro is in this one up to its eyeballs and is in no position to withdraw and not lose face. Impassive it will remain under public assault over the installations.
I had my own small victory today, though. The smart meter crew knocked on the door and said they were installing. I said, “You’re not!” The guy seemed a bit miffed, but politely withdrew. Then I got to thinking even more about this “smart meter” crap.
Why “smart meter”, I thought; then it occurred to me that the US Military-Industrial Complex, inextricably interdependent with the US Government and its policies, has spent perhaps a hundred million dollars in branding “Smart” weaponry to more easily declare and wage war around the globe. In particular, we’ve been treated to video-game dead hits of “smart bombs” to demonstrate how very caring bloody aggression can be. So why should BC Hydro and the BC Government spend millions on public discussion and public relations. The groundwork was already laid by the war criminals Rumsfeld, Cheney and Bush.
“Lets call it a smart meter”, whispered Christy Clarke to Dave Cobb, dithering about how to explain away a billion dollar purchase without public consultation. Dave grinned and relaxed after thinking about the implications. “Clever idea, Christy!” he exclaimed. “Our friends in the White House have already sold this one for us and everyone will associate these hot little devices with no collateral damage. My God! You’re a genius Premier”. Christy patted Dave on the back as he left her office, congratulating each other on the perfect selection of language.
Unfortunately, “smart bombs” are pretty dumb as a concept. It might make easier to declare a war here or there--wilfully, unnecessarily; so one can hardly say "smart bombs" save lives. Besides, if you’re any place close to a “smart bomb” surgical strike, you die too; and that’s not including those significant “smart bombs” that refuse to obey orders.
It’s the same with “smart meters”. The tag “smart” declares to you, the home owner or renter, “Don’t worry, I’ve been designed to make everything safe for you (gentle smile). I have relatives in the Pentagon—no collateral damage, honestly!”
I see you relax, fellow residents; but stop! Don’t believe that damned meter! It’s trying to be a smart ass! There’s fall out--radiologically speaking. The meter may be invisibly located in a part of your residence that might fool you into thinking it’s safe; but it will transmit perhaps half a dozen times a day and you or your child will get a collateral dose of radiation. You or your child may actually be leaning against or sleeping at the other side of the wall, ensuring that your temperature gets a momentary boost and DNA starts to fragment.
Next time you hear someone mention “smart meters”, think of Don Rumsfeld, Christy Clarke, Dick Cheney, Dave Cobb, and George W. Bush, all snickering behind closed doors. Think of those poor bastards who were nailed by “smart” things across Iraq
A few other reasons to Just Say No:
ReplyDeleteThe BC "Clean" Energy Act does NOT mandate WIRELESS meters at all. That was Hydro's "smart" idea to invade our bodies and lives for profit.
This means Hydro has NO MANDATE TO INSTALL. And that means this is trespass.
The analog meters are ours.
We are majority shareholders in Hydro.
Many have receipts for their analogs.
That means this is also theft.
Right now they are smashing what they stole. Bay Metals is an American company with a temp license on Annacis Island which is destroying as fast as possible every single one of the 1.8 affordable analog meters that work perfectly. Unlike digital junk from China, analog meters only need recalibration in order to last 100 years, and are not designed to fail on cue every five to 8 years.
The "smart" grid also violates all Sustainability Laws.
The frequencies enabled by the grid are illegal under SC6 (Safety Code Six) because they cause thermographically detectable low level EMF heating of human bodies from the core out leading to nerve and muscle depolarization, and gradual failure of the human and eco grid, by overriding the magnetic lines of flux of the planet upon which all living creatures depend to survive.
Welcome to life living inside a planet wide anti life microwave oven, especially once your whole house and ecosystem becomes one giant fractal antenna along with your body cells and those of all navigational creatures, - like pollinators. Bye bye food.
It is called good old fashioned electrical induction and "Wealth" Canada knows it is happening. The installations are being done by amateurs under full live load which violates the law and sets in motion later house fires due to compromised house wiring. Smart meters also do this in others ways by means of Rf frequencies and the surges on wiring never meant to take this kind of load .
