Utility Smart Meters - A Probable Terrorist Connection Unveiled?By Catherine J. Frompovich The IoT is designed to track everyones every interaction at all timesin your car (transponders and E-Z Pass); on your computersspecifically Windows 10 backdoors that apparently allow the feds access to your computer; through your smart home appliancesespecially TVs [2]; plus a human RFID microchip [3] surgically imbedded somewhere inside your body to enforce a cashless society, tracking, and an obvious ultimate control mechanism over every human! That IoT sure beats what Karl Marx, Adolph Hitler, and Joseph Stalin visualized and enforced! Why arent consumers waking up to whats being done to us? Furthermore, does the Draco-like (7th-century Athenian statesman and lawmaker, or his code of laws, which prescribed death for almost every offence [7]) push for vaccines starting as soon as a fetus exits the womb until one reaches advanced old age play a part in any of this, especially vaccine nanoparticles? [4, 5, 6] However, one specific aspect of the dumb smart technology came into daylight recently because of whats been going on in Seattle, Washingtonterrorism associated with hacking smart systems. Hopefully, that aspect finally will register enough concern in the hearts, minds, and souls of humans to enable us to recognize, and seriously ponder, that we are being downsized into zombies or human robots! The issue thats raised security concerns, plus hackles, at corporate levels is the fact that utility companies smart meter technology is being equated with terroristic capabilities! Read that again and let it sink into the very depths of your being. All those dumb smart gadgets we cant live without, and everyone has bought into, pose severe capabilities for terrorists hacking, plus a total takeover of the grid! How do you like them apples? The quintessential Pandoras Box is nothing compared with smart technology and its capabilities of being hacked at every level of communication. How do we know that? Well, its been revealed that when Seattle City Light, a public power utility in Washington State, was asked by an activist for their smart meter and grid details, etc., in order to find out what kind of safety and security safeguards were built in by smart meter suppliers Landis+Gyr and Sensus USA, that request wound up in a rather bizarre legal battle! Why? Heres the story of activist Phil Moceks request for smart meter information that ran into legal troubles. However, Id like to cut to what may be the real deal about not releasing those plans, etc.: [T]he smart meter suppliers objected to the release of the information on the grounds that the unredacted documents would disclose their trade secrets and open the public to terrorist attacks on their infrastructure. [8] [CJF emphasis added] As a result of smart meter suppliers/manufacturers legal actions, this is where the issue currently stands: Mocek was given a mix of unredacted and redacted documents by the city, the meter makers complained, whereas he should only have received and published files they had censored. Seattle officials said they were not skilled enough to know for sure which parts to redact, so left it to the suppliers to edit the files yet, unredacted information managed to make its way into Moceks hands and onto the internet. [CJF emphasis] Landis+Gyr and Sensus promptly sued the city, Mocek and Muckrock, and filed for an injunction: ultimately, the suppliers wanted the documents taken down, and the unredacted copies banned from public view. On Thursday, a temporary restraining order was granted by the King County Superior Court in Washington and Muckrock founder Michael Morisy confirmed the unredacted documents have been taken down pending the outcome of the case. [9] However, there seems to be some element of naivety involved regarding all this, I offer, and the following leads me to that conclusion: In the meantime, however, Mocek also has some additional problems to deal with, thanks to the legal wrangling. Though he has filed similar information requests in the past, he says he has never had to face a lawsuit simply because he wanted to look at public records and keep a local utility honest. I dont think [Seattle City Light] are going to put a device on my house to spy on me, he quipped. I think they are being bamboozled by vendors who want to make a lot of money by replacing thousands of meters. [9] To which I offer: I think Mr. Mocek and everyone else needs to reconsider the spy on me aspect. How nave are we, if we dont put two and two together and come up with the correct answer? Utility companies are providing customers smart meter information to others, as a California utility admits: This data is very valuable because it can reveal patterns about what you do and when. California utility companies admitted they are providing smart meter data to the government and third parties. [10] Theres a 4.3 minute video explaining what smart meters really can and do, regarding surveillance of customers homes in this website. Its found under Privacy invasion. However, I need to tell readers that my computer surveillance package wont allow me to copy and paste that video URL into this article! Interesting? Nomy computer is compromised as, apparently, all computers are of those who do the type of work I do. CIA Director calls Smart grid Stupid due to Security problems If the Smart Grid is that stupid, then there must be some ulterior Faustian reason for it to be mandated and installed, wouldnt you say? No one can be that damn dumb to mandate a system that can cause more harm, especially in the area of personal privacy and national security. Havent we learned anything from nine-eleven? You no doubt have heard about people who live in glass houses and their vulnerabilities. Well, your house, no matter what its made of, will become a crystal clear, see-through structure to all who want to know about your every moment, movement, occupancy times, and use of smart gadgets and, in turn, broadcast that information via hackable cell phone technology in smart meters and, ultimately, sell that personal information without your knowledge and permission to third parties; plus open your privacy, life, and home to burglars, thieves, and government or foreign hackers. Is that the price we are willing to pay for buying into all the dumb smart technology being forced upon us? I think every U.S. homeowner should file a formal complaint with their utility company and state public utility commission informing them that they must obtain an official court order in order to be able to access your personal information via a smart meter. Basically, its a surveillance device! Theres something called the U.S. Constitution and also each state has a constitution. Enforce your constitutional rights!

I opted-out and have to pay an extra $10 a month because of it. Where I live in the rogue state called British Columbia Canada, our alleged publicly owned Crown Corporation is ripping off the public who wish to avoid these dangerous meters $68. every two months. A class action lawsuit was started almost three years ago, but for some reason or other it takes the government employee judges forever and a day to do their jobs. Despite this matter being clearly one of Public Interest. Thinking of fleeing this major cesspool of Liberal Government corruption. You people are delusional to think you can pull that off. nice try but I dont think so. Pull what off, Man? I AM A KNOWN INTERNET TROLL. The entire economic/political system is a satanic one and works against us! The satanic elite enjoy DIPLOMATIC IMMUNTY and do not need to obey any law that is written for us! how much more insanity needs to be inflicted on the American public. nearly all US governments have got no respect for themselves or their people, and have kept their people always in a state of ignorance, and they no nothing of the real truth of no only their history but also of the world, and they do not know that nearly 85 per cent of world war two history was a lie, and that is mainly US participation, they do not even know that RUSSIA helped WIN quarters of the last world war, and they lost nearly 35 million people along with Ukraine and Poland with few outlying neighbours that would be nearly 70 million people, and that is more that the current population of the UK, as well as the US the UK are also guilty, we simply could not give them the respect that they deserve. and all the US could do is to create a Cold War, and make bullshit movies of WAR EXPLOITS that were NON EXISTENT, did Russia make up stories and boastful movies?, does anybody really know of the struggle to survive in Russia and all those countries of that part of EUROPE, in the UK we did have a struggle after the war but it was nothing like RUSSIA, they have earned our respect, so why did we not give it to them, is everlasting wars of US DOMINATION OF THE WORLD the only answer, SO WAKE UP EVERYBODY RUSSIA IS NOT THE ENEMY, BUT AMERICA,BRITAIN and ISRAEL ARE. Arlene, I couldnt agree with you more. Russias not the enemy here; the US/UK/Israel are. Indeed, the US could do nothing more was to create a Cold War and make BS movies of war exploits that never truly existed. Russia never did that, it already had such exploits of its own during WWII .. so, it never had any reason to make up any fake war exploits. By the time the US entered WWII (through goading Japan into attacking Pearl Harbor) in December of 1941, Russia was already on the verge of turning the war on the Eastern Front around in its favor (the Russian winter was already bogging the German juggernaut down). US troops didnt arrive in Britain until early 1942. Good post! The IoT will most certainly track you from cradle to grave and the great db will never forget. BTW: Arlen I totally agree and unfortunately I am living in the UsurpedStates, but lets not forget that most of the world is as well. Thankyou Catherine another great article. Im sure they track the entire internet there is no privacy. btw: Heres a little scenario. Holy Jesus! Really?! I have heard some weird things about those TVs. Honestly, though, if you have bought new electronic stuff or car in last last 3 years I would be careful! A ball of Thorium the size of a plum could power a home for a lifetime without danger of radioactivity. Thorium is fairly plentiful, relatively cheap, as a salt easily handled, and the reactor small in size, low temperature and pressure, with an automatic fail-safe design. If the technology were to be pursued, the energy companies would no longer hold hostage the American citizen via smart meters. And THAT is probably the main reason so few have ever heard of a Thorium Reactor. Smart readers are an invasion of privacy that will rush you to doctors, lawyers, and property assessors faster than Karl Marx can say Begin. Whoa, thats bigger than NY times vs. Sullivan Cromwell.
