Asked a Meter - Person who is replacing some a few blocks away if they are smart meters...

"Nope, not at all..." he said.

I asked, "can the info be read from the street"?

"Yep.." was the reply.

I responded, " then its a smart meter, right"?

He stopped responding...

I truly must give the employees some latitude...

As usual, at company meetings, they are probably asking for safety info, thus provided a standard paragraph to learn to repeat, to interested consumers and continue on with their job...

Many choose to trust their employer...

Thank you so much for that story Vinnie. I can almost picture your interaction. It's a knee jerk reply they give, and look the other way. Most people just want to hear "no, it's not a smart meter" so won't go on to ask that second follow-up quesiton like you did.

When did you first become aware of the hazards of smart meters?

Are residents in your area open to hearing about EMF?

Yet again, we already have smart meters. Our electric company has now sent out postcards telling us we will be getting NEW SMART METERS within 2 months and they say WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OPT OUT! PERIOD

Don't believe them. It is your right to not have them on your property. Do not consent. Where are you located?

Loved that Predator reference.

"You're hit (with emfs)... your cells are dividing man!!!!"

"My cells ain't got time to divide(due to emf mitigation)"

Smart meters, when you think about what the bring to the table, are actually pretty dumb. Dangerous as well since they can start fires.

Charging the utility company for a storage fee is hilarious. Reminds of that, "Modern problems require modern solutions" meme.

I wish I'd had all this info (some of it I did have AFTER the fact) about 2 or 3 years ago!

I was force-fed a Smart Meter, and couldn't stop it once they'd begun... I'm a renter, so I'm not sure I can just remove it... I sent those assholes that have a monopoly over the area I live in (PSE in Western WA, USA) a letter demanding an electro-magnetic type of meter, but alas, the deal was done, and they simply ignored me. They don't give a fuck about us...

I am aging rapidly. I now have arthritis, my hair is thinning, my skin is sagging... I'm also in the midst of trying to save my very elderly and vulnerable parents from a rapacious and conniving brother who wants to "shelve" them permanently and roll through whatever assets they have. So... I must endure until the end of March... right around the time we'll probably enter a damn "civil war," that is hoped to have us killing EACH OTHER, so the Nasties don't have to do it (so much).

I am trying to think of ways to RESIST. I am very poor in the financial sense, and have the 24/7 care of an aged father. I am NOT GIVING UP.

I have read this post in a scanning way... I will read it thoroughly when I can. I wish I'd known about these gd meters two years ago!

So... THANK YOU.

And I already am a huge fan of Arthur Firstenberg-- Read his book, everybody: "The Invisible Rainbow." Terrific!

Cheers.

Excellent information. Glad to have found your site. I have put my Safe & Sound Pro II on the newest white routers/boosters in a couple of friends homes. It read 1,500,000.

It was EMF Planetary fb page of Elana Freeland. When covid hit I could no longer use my cell phone but I let it go on too long and got radiation sickness. Down for the count. Had to find doctors who knew how to deal with it. Only military doctors know about it of course. Long covid? or radiation sickness? I think the latter. But many had no idea.

"Smart" meters are actually daisy-chained, so there is no need for a van with a radar on it, because the provider can collect the encrypted information at the end of the line.

However, the latest type of "home" Wi-Fi can turn the electric grid in the neighborhood into a giant antenna; no need for 5G towers, because the residents themselves are volunteering their own infrastructure:

Also, our provider doesn't care, and I haven't been able to locate a single lawyer in a 50-mile radius who would take up the cause.

Ugg, residents are NOT interested at all...

We had our water tower removed from I think Verizon and now have a cell tower 1500 feet from my un-mortgaged home.

Went to a village meeting...

Made the presentation about safety...

"Any questions"?

"When is the greek restaurant resuming normal hours..."

I kid you not.

Learned about it vis Substack posters, probably 2020-2021?

New York state does have sme sort of opt out for electricity, however the company still wants to replace the non electricity generating meter with an

"Opt -out" meter.

(Seems deceptive to me)

I don't even want to begin that email process.

Don't want to bring attention to myself or the situation since the giant dog is sleeping at the moment...

Sorry to hear that Vinnie. You're not alone, trust me. Connecticut and New Mexico are the only states really putting up a strong fight against the smart grid.

Many residents of Stamford CT have had some success: https://romanshapoval.substack.com/p/how-other-towns-are-fighting-5g

As you may know, these towers can't be currently fought on the basis of health, but via economic concerns - property values going down, etc.

Some towns like Chatanooga TN and in Utah who have run fiber have increased home values. Realtor associations could be our greatest ally.

Thank you for sharing this Fizzy. I hear you. Wow, weren't you in Australia?

Even though there's no opt-out, you can still try sending them a letter of non-consent. If that doesn't work, you couid get diagnosed as electrosensitive / get a doctor's note, and they need to accommodate.

I think that I’m starting to think like you. My left ear now has tinnitus pretty badly and I read from you that it’s probably from the EMFs so I will try to go that medical route, I will try calling the state and the utility because I am so POed! Also, at your recommendation, I bought some of the foil type material from stetzer electric, and they show in there how you can use that to block it out of your house. Also bought an outlet meter and one blocker so far so keep sending out that great info! The electric company came with a smart meter and my friend told him to get the heck off of their property but they had no choice to install it because they’re also in PA. Not quite Australia, but I just moved here part time from SC.

I love it FIzzy! Sorry not sure why I thought you were an aussie, maybe because your aussum (wah...wah). Hope your tinnitus improves. Does it get worst in certain rooms and./or different times of the day? You can also try humming, as this vibrates us from the inside out and increases nitric oxide, a potent vasoldilator.

Roman - do you have any experience with the Sensus TouchRead water meters? I'm in Burlington ON. I recently found an EMF issue in my bedroom where readings are consistently higher right over my bed and on the outside wall is this meter. The readings are generally around 4.5mG which is Medium and apparently not good for extended exposures. I have a GQ EMF-390 measuring device.

The sinister part is that:

1) The EMF readings are higher in the evenings (4.5mG)than the mornings and day (2.5mG)time! Correlating with when people are more likely in bed and exposed.

2) I have recorded spikes overnight up to 16.1 mG - why would it spike?

Anyway thought you would be interested and this will also potentially alert others who come across this info.

Hi Truth, thanks for the question. That's amazing that you're taking such proactive steps. Do you know what time at night those spikes happen? Typically the smart grid will do a data dump around midnight and/or 230am (when our liver is most active in detox).

I've been learning from other EMF consultants recently that it's not the magnetic fields that are really as bad, but the electrical wiring, dirty electricity, kHz frequencies that can be detrimental, and why I like to suggest shutting off the circuit breaker to the bedroom at night.

Does this help clarify?

We'll have a webinar on w/ Paul Harding of Total EMF solutions on June 20th 7pm EST - if you can attend, you can pose this question to Paul as well - he's seen the data dump.

We got the letter a couple years ago informing us our wonderful analog electrical meter would be replaced with a smart meter. I wasn't on the ball, and it got replaced...

A little over a year later, I got wiser, and did the opt out (and paid $90 for that "opportunity"). They came out and replaced the "smart" meter with another meter that looked just like it, only supposedly isn't smart. Getting one of the old analog meters back is not an option... I did look up the product specifications, and the new "non-smart" digital meter is supposedly not communicating wirelessly, but I'm still suspicious of the data it is collecting. This meter is made by the same company as the "smart" meter they took out. I pay an extra $15/mo. on my bill for them to send someone out to read it.

Maybe this is already a question being asked in the comments, there's too many to go through.

I read that if all your neighbors have smart meters it is futile to remove yours because the way they work is like a network where they pass the information down the line to each other. They essentially talk to each other and even if yours is gone, that nasty signal is still passing through your home from the neighbors on either side.

Also a question I doubt is here. I live in a house built in 1910, of poured, reinforced concrete. It's was formed on the outside to look like concrete block.

It's really not as ugly as it sounds with the right paint and highlights.

Anyways, it's about 10 inches thick. Does this protect us from emf more than the average house?

We live in tornado alley of Ontario so I imagine this house was built back then with that in mind. It's a one of a kind here as far as I know.

The lumber used in the rafters walls and joists is also unheard of by today's standards. It's 10 inch in some places. Solid as a rock. Even the lath and plaster is crazy thick, with some sort of mortar in place of actual plaster. I feel safe as a bug in a rug here in stormy weather but have horrible emf symptoms from modem etc.

Thanks for taking the time to rea my essay lol 🙂

I had called my local utility, who simultaneously assured me there was nonsmart meter at the foot of my property and that they could remotely read my meter and see real-time updates…

I used two different EMF readers and saw random spikes of radiation outbursts at different frequency sets, well beyond safety standards.

Despite being ~150 feet from the home, I covered part of the decide with anball weather Faraday fabric. The readings fell to safe levels.

All reading were taken within one foot of the smart meter.
