(NaturalNews) There is a sinister agenda underway to forcibly convert every standard electric meter in the U.S. to the "smart" variety under the guise of promoting renewable energy interests. And one of the latest pieces of Trojan horse legislation pushing for this ominous transformation is the Smart Grid Advancement Act of 2013, introduced by Representative Jerry McNerney (D-Cal.) and co-authored by Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-Penn.), which would force utilities all across the country to convert their customers to smart meters. Poster Comment: As the article points out this is not only a health hazard but a further attempt to encroach upon privacy and shove the National Surveillance Totalitarian State
The new bill, as stated in a recent press release posted on Rep. McNerney's website, would require virtually all energy utility companies nationwide to implement so-called "smart grid technologies," which in turn would require the installation of smart meters on customers' homes and businesses. Smart meters, as you may already be aware, contain wireless communication components that are not only a serious threat to human health, but also a monumental detriment to personal privacy.
But crafty politicians like Rep. McNerney and Rep. Cartwright are couching the technology as a viable way to help save people money by lowering their electricity bills. This explanation, of course, is meant to divert attention away from the not-so-enticing fact that the technology is really nothing more than a massive, interconnected government spying and control apparatus.
"[The bill] would apparently require all electricity providers, including rural cooperatives and municipal utilities, to join the 'smart' grid and install 'smart' meters," explains the energy freedom advocacy group StopSmartMeters.org.
What else does this inauspicious bill aim to accomplish? According to a summary of the bill, posted as H.R. 2685 at GovTrack.us -- you need to read between the lines to really understand what is being stated in this summary -- certified Energy Star appliances and other energy-saving products will be required to contain wireless technologies capable of communicating with both energy providers and potentially even the government.
"[T]he bill would require appliances with the Energy Star label to include wireless transmitters that cannot be turned off, in order to communicate (and presumably cough up your private data and respond to orders from Big Brother Smart Grid to switch you off at a moment's notice, as happened to dozens of people in Northern California recently when their not-so-smart-AC program cut off their air conditioning at the height of the recent heat wave," adds StopSmartMeters.org.
"The bill would also establish a 'smart grid information center' that would presumably create pro-smart-grid propaganda at the taxpayer's expense."Smart meters exposed as part of NSA 'PRISM' spying scam
Even worse is the fact that Landis Gyr, a major smart meter manufacturer that describes itself as a "world leader" in smart grid technology, let the cat out of the bag that the National Security Agency (NSA), which we now know actively spies on innocent Americans' phone calls and text messages, also uses smart meters to spy on Americans.
Thanks to a NaturalNews reader tip, we learned that Landis Gyr recently had a company voicemail message that admitted smart meter technology is part of the NSA's "PRISM" spying and surveillance program. Since gaining national attention about this admission, Landis Gyr has apparently altered its company voicemail message to omit this indicting information.Your help needed to oppose HR 2685, the Smart Meter Trojan Horse Act
H.R. 2685 has been referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee for consideration, which means this is the first point of contact in effectively killing this bill. StopSmartMeters.org has set up a helpful action page that you can use to contact not only the committee but also the bill's sponsors and the rest of your Congressmen:

I wonder, are there exemptions written into these laws to prevent lawsuits from relatives of people who die of heat stroke in their own homes? It would be typical of the bastards to include them, knowing full well in advance the consequences of their tyranny.

I think "azz" verks. :-) "“Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher.

So, what do they know? /Sarcasm "“Believe nothing merely because you have been told it. Do not believe what your teacher tells you merely out of respect for the teacher.

Then the power companies and the NSA are shit out of luck. I hope cold fusion is available for the masses soon.
God is always good!
It has been available for quite some time, but the PTB know that people would thumb their nose at them if they had energy independence, so it is kept firmly suppressed. It's no fun for wannabe Slave Masters when the Slaves revolt and string the "massuh" up, or give him/her a "Pitchfork Ride".

The following are a few tidbits I picked up recently at a lecture on this subject. A Rationale for Biologically-based Public Exposure Standards for Electromagnetic Fields (ELF and RF)

Thanks for the linkage. Did the lecture involve Dr. Laura Pressley?

Thank you. I was aware of the Bioinitiative Report but have not yet read through it, have looked a little at different shielding products, and was aware that there were pending lawsuits, but nothing in detail. So, it is a good list of references to pour through.

We met over the phone and interweb when she was a candidate for city council. She's doing her best to wake people in Austin re: dangers of fluoride, cell towers, EMFs, and smartmeters in our homes. An awake woman.
