Smart Meters: Enforcement Of Mandatory Water Restrictions Is Only Just The Beginning

- By Michael Snyder - April 13, 2015

Smart meters are now being used by authorities to crack down on “water wasters” in the state of California, but this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as what they can be used for. Ultimately, smart meters are designed to be part of an entire “smart grid” that will enable government bureaucrats “to control everything from your dishwasher to thermostat“. And in recent years, there has been a massive push to install smart meters in as many homes in the United States and Europe as possible. Back in December 2007, there were only 7 million smart meters installed in this country. Today there are more than 51 million. On the other side of the Atlantic, the European Parliament has set a goal of having smart meters in 80 percent of all homes by the year 2020. This is being promoted as the “green” thing to do, but could it be possible that there is more to these smart meters than meets the eye?

In Long Beach, California authorities were getting complaints that a local McDonald’s restaurant was wasting water in the middle of the night.

So what did the authorities do?

They installed a smart meter which instantly started providing incriminating evidence against McDonald’s. The following comes from CBS Los Angeles

The Long Beach Water Department says sprinklers at a McDonald’s restaurant on Bellflower Boulevard went on for 45 minutes at a time, twice a night, for an undefined number of nights. Complaints continued to mount as water pooled and wasted. The department, however, could do little about the wasting.

That was before the smart meter.

Since its installation in February, Long Beach Water Department General Manager Kevin Wattier says he saw an immediate spike by tens of thousands of gallons, each time McDonald’s over watered their property.

And according to NPR, other large California cities are also now looking into how they can use smart meters to enforce the new mandatory water restrictions in the state…

By next February, California cities together are supposed to cut their water use by a quarter. Sacramento, San Francisco and some Central Valley cities are also seeing whether smart meters can help.

But smart meters are capable of determining far more than whether or not we are using too much water.

Already, police all over the country are using the data provided by smart meters to identify homes that are potentially growing marijuana. Homes that grow marijuana tend to use much more electricity than other homes, and so if your home is using a high level of energy that is a red flag for the cops.

In addition, there are a whole host of other ways that smart meters can be used as surveillance devices by law enforcement. The following list comes from an electronics and media expert from Burbank, California named Jerry Day…

1. They individually identify electrical devices inside the home and record when they are operated causing invasion of privacy.

2. They monitor household activity and occupancy in violation of rights and domestic security.

3. They transmit wireless signals which may be intercepted by unauthorized and unknown parties. Those signals can be used to monitor behavior and occupancy and they can be used by criminals to aid criminal activity against the occupants.

4. Data about occupant’s daily habits and activities are collected, recorded and stored in permanent databases which are accessed by parties not authorized or invited to know and share that private data.

5. Those with access to the smart meter databases can review a permanent history of household activities complete with calendar and time-of-day metrics to gain a highly invasive and detailed view of the lives of the occupants.

6. Those databases may be shared with, or fall into the hands of criminals, blackmailers, law enforcement, private hackers of wireless transmissions, power company employees, and other unidentified parties who may act against the interests of the occupants under metered surveillance.

7. “Smart Meters” are, by definition, surveillance devices which violate Federal and State wiretapping laws by recording and storing databases of private and personal activities and behaviors without the consent or knowledge of those people who are monitored.

8. It is possible for example, with analysis of certain “Smart Meter” data, for unauthorized and distant parties to determine medical conditions, sexual activities, physical locations of persons within the home, vacancy patterns and personal information and habits of the occupants.

If all of that wasn’t bad enough, there are also substantial concerns about the impact that these smart meters are having on our health

According to physician and epidemiologist Sam Milham, Smart Meters, which are linked to an array of health issues, emit as much as 100 times the amount of radiation as a cell phone.

Daniel Hirsch, a senior lecturer on nuclear policy at UCSC, says thefederal government purposely misleads the public by conducting biased safety studies at the behest of power companies.

A Washington DC power company stirred controversy in 2013 after they were caught lying to the public about how often their smart meters emitted radiation. Despite claims that the meters only emitted radiation once every 4 to 6 hours, an investigation by WUSA9 News revealed the frequency to be closer to 4 to 6 times every minute.

When there is that much radiation blasting through our homes on a continual basis, it is inevitable that there are going to be health problems.

According to Infowars, tens of thousands of people have already reported significant health issues that they believe are directly related to the installation of smart meters in their homes…

Tens of thousands of individuals are reporting officially, to governments and utilities, that they are experiencing illness or functional impairments following the installation of “smart” meters. Reported symptoms include headaches, sleep problems, ear ringing, focus difficulties, fatigue, heart palpitations, nausea and statistically abnormal recurrences of cancer.

Perhaps you are dealing with one of the health issues just mentioned.

If so, you might want to check to see if you have a smart meter in your home.

There has got to be a better way for the state of California to monitor water usage rather than smart meters.

And without a doubt, the state of California is facing a crisis of unprecedented proportions. The snowpack in the Sierras is only 5 percent of the long-term historical average. Snow levels are currently at the lowest levels ever measured for this time of the year, and the snow is melting five to 30 days earlier than normal. For much more on the nightmare that the state is dealing with, please see my previous article entitled “How Many People Will Have To Migrate Out Of California When All The Water Disappears?

Thankfully, there is a lot of waste that can be eliminated, so a lot of water can potentially be saved. It turns out that Californians are some of the biggest water wasters on the entire planet. The following statistic comes from the New York Times

California’s cities consume 178 gallons per person per day, on average. That’s 40 percent more than the per capita water consumption in New York City and more than double that of parched Sydney, in Australia.

So let’s hope that Californians start banding together and begin using water more wisely, because this drought is not likely to go away any time soon.

And the truth is that what is going on in the state of California is kind of a microcosm of the water crisis that is beginning to emerge all over the globe

The move by California to require mandatory cuts in water use for the first time in its history has highlighted the world’s looming water crisis and increased the focus on the links between sustainable water and sustainable energy.

“We need a new paradigm,” says Steven Solomon, author of Water: The Epic Struggle for Wealth, Power and Civilization. “The days when we could just go further into the mountains and find new sources of water are past. We need to make better use of the water we have.”

In the end, the drought in California is going to affect all of us. A tremendous amount of our produce is grown in the state, and we will all soon be feeling the pain of the drought in our local grocery stores

As California’s multi-year drought rages on, consumers in the rest of the United States may soon be feeling the pinch at the grocery store as farmers around California reduce water and plant fewer crops.

California, sometimes called the ‘nation’s salad bowl’, is the country’s largest producer of grapes, kiwis, olives, avocados, broccoli, tomatoes, spinach, tree nuts and dairy. Now in the fourth year of a massive drought ‒ and facing only a year’s worth of water remaining in the state ‒ food prices in the US and agricultural unemployment in California are set to climb as farmers do what they can to conserve water and protect their investments.

So what do you think about all of this?

Science proves that NASA faked the moon landings - Total Video Proof of Moon Landing hoax Released 2015 ! Why NASA is silent

DARK MISSION: NASA Moon Hoax 1 - Analysis of the Lunar Photography

DARK MISSION: NASA Moon Hoax 2 - Environmental Dangers & The Trouble with Rockets

Published on Nov 5, 2010

Analysis of the Lunar Photography - This compelling video throws into serious doubt the authenticity of the Apollo missions and features information that challenges the declared abilities of NASA to successfully send a man to the Moon and return him safely to Earth. New evidence clearly suggests that NASA hoaxed pictures allegedly taken on the lunar surface. These findings are supported by analysis and the testimony of experts from a wide variety of scientific disciplines.

Note: This was the hardest film for us to post here at UFOTV, as most of us were born around the Apollo era and many of us hold NASA's achievement of landing a Man on the Moon and bringing him safely back, as sacred. But in the interest of remaining neutral and posting all information on controversies in science, regardless of our personal beliefs and those of the management at UFOTV, we bring you what critics have chosen as the greatest filmed investigation on this matter to date.

12-Year Old Child Reveals One of the Best Kept Secrets in the World

12-year old exposes the immorality of the global banking system and why sound money is essential to freedom and stopping the spread of misery on this planet.



U.S. treasury department used to print Continental Money, or "Green Back" debt free notes at no interest to the American people and government

1862 U.S. treasury department print green back notes at no interest to the federal government

In 1861, when President Lincoln goes to New York and ask to borrow money for the civil war, from the money changers, and or the criminal bankers, they offered him loan at 36% interest, Lincoln refused and asked Colonel Dick Taylor, a close friend of his to help out. After some times investigating the matter, he reports back saying:

"Why, Lincoln, that is easy; just get congress to pass a bill authorizing the printing of full legal tender treasury notes, and pay your soldiers with them and go ahead and win your war with them also." Colonel Dick Taylor

And when Lincoln ask Colonel Dick Taylor, will people of the United States accept the notes.? He was told:

"The people or anyone else will not have any choice in the matter, if you make them full legal tender. They will have the full sanction of the government and be just as good as any money; as Congress is given that express right by the constitution." Colonel Dick Taylor

And that is exactly what Lincoln did, in 1862-1863 U.S. treasury department printed 450 million dollars of new money at no interest to the federal government, and in order to distinguish them from other private bank notes in circulation, he printed them using green ink, the money became known as "Green Back".

President Lincoln fully understood the destructive role private bankers and or money changers have been playing. He said:

"The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credit needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government, and the buying power of the consumers."

"The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of Government, but it is the Government's greatest creative opportunity."

"By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity." 16th President, Abraham Lincoln

Soon after, a remarkable editorial, boldly expressing the criminal private bankers, and or money changers attitude towards U.S. treasury's "Green Back" printed American notes, was printed in the Times of London.

"If this mischievous financial policy, which has its origin in North America, shall become indurated down to a fixture, then all Governments will furnish its own money without cost. It will pay off debts and be without debt. It will have all the money necessary to carry on its commerce. It will become prosperous without precedent in history of the world. The brains, and wealth of all countries will go to North America. That country must be destroyed, or it will destroy every monarchy on the globe." - Times of London

Precisely the reason why President Abraham Lincoln was murdered, soon after the civil war ended, to the contrary of the criminal private bankers, and or money changer's wishes.

20th President, James Garfield was elected in 1881, he was fully aware of the devastating effect of fiat money on U.S. economy. After his inauguration, President Garfield exposes the criminal private bankers, and or money changers by saying:

"Whosoever controls the volume of money in any country is absolute master of all industry and commerce. And when you realize that the entire system is very easily controlled, one way, or another, by a few powerful men at the top, you will not have to be told how periods of inflation and depression originate." - President James Garfield

Sadly within two weeks after his speech, on July 02, 1881 President Garfield was murdered too.

35th President, John F. Kennedy had already put his plan of action to U.S. treasury department by signing an executive order # 11110, on June 4,1963, ordering the treasury to begin printing money just the same as Abraham Lincoln did; unfortunately six months later he was murdered on November 22, 1963. Lyndon Baines Johnson's first order of business was canceling JFK's executive order to U.S. treasury department.

Worth mentioning that when 7th U.S. President, Andrew Jackson refused to renew the money changers charter, an unsuccessful assassination attempt were made against him.

The following is from American Bankers Association's memo sent to its members in 1891, directing them three years in advance how to create a depression and plunder the American people's farms, homes and money.

"On September 1st, 1894, we will not renew our loans under any consideration. On September 1st, we will demand our money."

"We will foreclose and become mortgagees in possession. We can take two-third of the farms west of the Mississippi, and thousands of them east of the Mississippi as well, at our own price. Then the farmers will become tenants as in England." - 1891 American Bankers Association - As printed in the Congressional Record of April 29, 1913.

The United States Federal Government's Debt is estimated to be $20,400,000,000,000.00 trillion dollars. The so-called National Debt, is paper money printed simply at the cost of ink and paper and put in circulation by the criminal bankers. We, the people, will never be debt free, because to be debt free, U.S. Treasury Department has to print our own money instead of borrowing fiat money from the murderers, the criminal bankers.

The Interest Expense Fiscal Year 2017 on the so-called National Debt amounts to: $434,628,040,135.35, which means we, the people are forced to pay income tax, and four-hundred-thirty-four billion dollars of our money is paid annually to the criminal bankers for interest on the fiat money they printed and put in circulation in this country.

https://www.treasurydirect.gov/govt/reports/ir/ir_expense.htm

It is the duty of every American to inform our congress representatives and remind them of their job's responsibilities, encouraging them to do the right honorable thing, or we, the people, must vote them out.

War is a Racket by Smedley Butler is a famous speech denouncing the military industrial complex. This speech by two-time Congressional Medal of Honor recipient exposes war profits that benefit few at the expense of many. Throughout his distinguished career in the Marines, Smedley Darlington Butler demonstrated that true patriotism does not mean blind allegiance to government policies with which one does not agree.

"To HELL with WAR and the Evil WAR Mongering and WAR Profiteering Bastards!"

New York State legislators pass bill to protect farmers from biotech industry lawsuits

- By David Gutierrez - March 14, 2015

On February 11, the New York State Assembly passed a bill that would protect farmers from being sued by biotechnology companies in the case of genetically engineered (GE) or genetically modified organisms (GMO) crops accidentally growing in their fields.

In contrast with conventionally bred crops, GE crops are typically held under a patent which prohibits anyone from planting them without the express permission of the patent-holding company. They are also usually sold with a license that prohibits saving seeds for re-planting. Instead, the seeds must be re-purchased each year.

On many occasions, biotech companies have sued farmers for planting GE crops without the appropriate license. Yet, in many such cases, the farmers claimed that their fields were naturally colonized by the GE crops via normal seed dispersal mechanisms. Farmers have also expressed concern that they could be sued in the event of natural cross-pollination between their fields and those of GE crops.

"If passed by the state Senate, the law would protect such farmers against frivolous lawsuits", New York Assemblyman Tom Abinati said. He especially noted the importance of protecting organic farmers, who might lose their certification if their fields are contaminated with GE, or genetically modified organisms (GMO) strains.

Supreme Court rules for biotech giants

The New York Assembly's action comes in light of a January 2014 Supreme Court ruling upholding the rights of biotech companies to pursue such lawsuits. Originally, more than 80 plaintiffs, including the Organic Seed Growers and Trade Association (OSGATA), had sought to stop biotech giant Monsanto from suing anyone whose field is unintentionally contaminated by the company's GE seeds.

In June 2013, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, DC, dismissed the lawsuit. Although the court agreed that it was inevitable that some fields would be unintentionally contaminated by Monsanto's products, it trusted the company's promise not to sue in such cases.

They came to this conclusion, "because Monsanto has made binding assurances that it will not 'take legal action against growers whose crops might inadvertently contain traces of Monsanto biotech genes (because, for example, some transgenic seed or pollen blew onto the grower's land),'" the 2013 decision read. The 2014 Supreme Court decision upheld this ruling.

Monsanto has already filed more than 140 lawsuits alleging planting of its patented seeds without permission and settled another 700 cases. The plaintiffs in the lawsuit were concerned that Monsanto's promise not to sue over "inadvertent" contamination was not strong enough.

"The Supreme Court failed to grasp the extreme predicament family farmers find themselves in," said Jim Gerritsen, an organic seed farmer and president of OSGATA. "The Court of Appeals agreed our case had merit. However... safeguards they ordered are insufficient to protect our farms and our families."

"Monsanto has effectively gotten away with stealing the world's seed heritage and abusing farmers for the flawed nature of their patented seed technology," said Dave Murphy, executive director of Food Democracy Now! "This is an outrage of historic proportions and will not stand."

Farmers left without protection

Because of the Supreme Court decision, farmers remain concerned that, at any time, Monsanto -- or another biotech company that has not made any promises -- could change course and begin suing farmers

In such a case, farmers would have no legal protection. The New York bill is designed to prevent such scenarios.

"If Monsanto can patent seeds for financial gain, they should be forced to pay for contaminating a farmer's field, not be allowed to sue them," Murphy said in response to the Supreme Court decision. "Once again, America's farmers have been denied justice, while Monsanto's reign of intimidation is allowed to continue in rural America."

A bill requiring the labeling of GE foods is also pending in the legislature.
