Battle Creek City Commission Meeting - October 6, 2015

The video where I start talking at about 38:00 is here, and the script is below:

The Radio Frequency Comparison chart you sent me from the Director of Public Works in Grand Haven, has been proven wrong by Daniel Hirsch, radiation expert, Senior Lecturer on Nuclear Policy at University of California Santa Cruz.  Hirsch states, “rather than a cell phone being 100 times more (radiation) exposure than a smart meter, the smart meter turns out to be roughly 100 times more cumulative exposure than the cell phone." 

Dominique Belpomme, MD, Master of Public Health, Professor of Oncology, Paris Descartes University, Executive Director of the European Cancer & Environment Research Institute states, “The harmful effects of electromagnetic fields, regardless of their frequencies, are now scientifically settled. Pregnant women (the fetus) and children and adolescents are particularly vulnerable.” 

Paul Pecorale, Vice President of the New York State United Teachers Union, states: “We have enough evidence to justify taking action and we are not willing to wait until our members, their children and the students suffer health consequences from not doing anything.” 

In Naperville Illinois, City Council members settled a federal lawsuit filed by an opponent of the city's smart meter installation program.  The 12-page agreement calls for paying over $117K to a Naperville resident whose lawsuit accused the city and four of its police officers of violating her constitutional rights when they forced a smart meter installation on her property. 

It is quite alarming that the City of Battle Creek Water Department has no actual documentation of proof of safety of the new utility meters being installed by them, and all of our utility companies.  

It is quite alarming that you, the City Commissioners, are relying exclusively on manufacturer propaganda and incorrect information to defend your stance that smart meters pose no health risk.  And it is quite alarming that you can hear many expert sources quoted that prove the new utility meters do indeed cause harm, yet continue to do nothing about it. 

PLEASE investigate this further.  For it is never too late to change your mind about this unproven to be safe technology. 

I conclude with Pope Francis’s words:  “We must move forward together, as one, in a renewed spirit of fraternity and solidarity, cooperating generously for the common good.” 

Thank you for listening.  May you all be blessed!

Smart Meter Fire In Portage, MI?

Image from this report of a Smart Meter fire in 2012

"Consumer investigator Jim Strickland discovered the meters are similar to the ones that have triggered a rash of fire reports elsewhere."  That story here. 

"Our neighbor's house caught fire because of a smart meter."  Quote from EMF Safety Network here.

And now, neighbors of a Bellaire Avenue home in Portage, MI, say the house fire on August 23rd was started by the Consumers Energy electric Smart Meter, though the Fire Marshal has ruled the Smart Meter out. That story is here.

Some of the comments about the Portage, MI fire:

"Wow! This is a darn shame! It was the METER!!! Why did Consumers (Energy company) come and remove it before any investigation was done while the home was still in flames!?! I call BS! I am their neighbor! Everyone who witnessed the situation knows it was the new smart meter just put in three days earlier!"

"The thousands of people who have been through it. The thousands of people who have fought their insurance companies for the 'unknown cause' of house fires, where the energy company removed the evidence before investigation." 

"I watched it with my own eyes as they removed the melted, explosive meter from the home. I also spoke directly to the home owner as he explained hearing the large POP and running around the home to see that that was the only thing on fire."

We are dealing with utility companies that lie about their equipment and say they are not Smart Meters, sneak onto people's properties to install Smart Meters without property owner's knowledge or consent, and force people to have a Smart Meter installed with the threat of water or gas or electricity shut-off despite some homeowners telling the utility company that they are so sensitive to radio frequencies that Smart Meters make them ill.

It will be interesting to see if any pictures from the house fire on Bellaire in Portage, MI, surface after eyewitnesses say it WAS the Smart Meter yet the Fire Marshall ruled it out.

"More recently, utility Portland General Electric announced it was replacing 70,000 smart meters after three reports of fires caused by overheating of the meter-home interconnection.  That blow was followed by the Saskatchewan government's decision to remove 105,000 smart meters deployed by utility SaskPower, after finding eight reports of malfunctions, some resulting in fires on the outside of the home."  That story here.

Hundreds of Smart Meters simultaneously explode in Stockton, CA, April 1, 2015, story here.

"Yes, there is absolutely conclusive evidence on health effects," story here.   

"Bioeffects are clearly established and occur at very low levels of exposure to electromagnetic fields and radiofrequency radiation."  That report here. 

"The International EMF Scientist Appeal was initially signed by 190 scientists from 39 nations.  These scientists have collectively published over 2,000 peer-reviewed papers on the biological or health effects of non-ionizing radiation, part of the EMF spectrum that includes Extremely Low Frequency fields (ELF) used for electricity, or Radio Frequency radiation (RFR) used for wireless communications."   Quote from here.

We have a right to be safe from harm from utility company's equipment.

Just say no.  "I refuse an installation.  Put me down as a refusal."

The "opt-out" meters are proving to be just as harmful as the Smart Meters.  So accept 100% ANALOGUE meters only, for the health and safety of it.  More information here.

Thank you to Smart Meter Education Network, EMF Safety Network, Stop Smart Meters, Michigan Stop Smart Meters, Take Back Your Power, BioInitiative 2012, EMF Scientist, and many others who are helping educate the public about Smart Meters.
