What Are the Reasons for Smart Meters When Analog Meters Were Safe?


This is an article about the Smart meter “debate” applicable to consumers in the USA.English: A electrical 'smart' meter installed ...

Exactly the same issues, except that the potential danger of starting fires is probably higher there. It would be interesting to discover if any Australian government, authority or power company members use their influence to also opt out from the program?

A few extracts to provide the “gist”, the complete ‘Activist Post‘ article is linked HERE.

“By Catherine J. Frompovich The backlash agains members in Australiat retrofitting AMI Smart Meters (SMs) on utility companies’ fire- and RF/EMF-safe analog meters for electricity, gas and water customers is growing exponentially across the country. In states where customers are refusing SMs and wind up going to court, some interesting legal repercussions are happening. Here’s what happened in California in late June of 2015:”
“After a 16-month standoff in California between an electric utility customer, who refused an SM, and the utility company PSREC (Plumas-Sierra Rural Electric Cooperative of Portola), it was revealed that Superior Court Judge Ira Kaufman has a no-cost, self-read analog meter at his home! (What does the Judge know about SMs, and why did he not have an SM on his house?) As a result of those findings during the appeal process, PSREC’s General Manager Bob Marshall agreed to connect the customer’s electricity, drop all past fees, and provide self-read analog service at no charge. [Source: Email to CJF citing “Stop Smart Meters Bulletin”.]”
“The utility industry report issued by the EPRI “Accuracy of Digital Electricity Meters,” published in 2010, calls the analog meter “an amazing piece of engineering work.” So, why did utilities opt for fire and hazard-prone AMI Smart Meters (SMs)?””
“There’s another problem with SMs, according to the Report: With electromechanical meters, modes of failure tend to be perma­nent. Once a meter or its register fails, due to wear, dust, etc., it is generally still found to be in a failed state when tested later. Software flaws, on the other hand, could create a transient glitch, leaving a meter that checks-out perfectly afterwards. This possibility compli­cates the diagnostic process for solid state meters and may make it difficult to discern the root cause of problems. Probably that’s the reason why utility companies explain that nothing is wrong with customers’ high bills, even when they check out the SMs, and they do nothing to correct the SM’s erroneous ways of over-reporting to the delight of utility companies’ bottom lines.”

We still await justice in Australia, as the same issues of safety, mainly radiation, apply here. Mandatory installation of Smart meters is not justifiable except for political reasons which override any consumer concerns of health, privacy, susceptibility of electronic failures, incorrect bills, hacking and accidental or deliberate power disconnections.

Most Diseases Were Gone Before Vaccines Arrived


Pertinent points here are reasonable questions of “how necessary and effective are particular vaccines”?, “how dangerous are their adverse effects”? and “why are meaningful trials and tests not mandated”?

Vaccinations – an Article on ‘Herd Immunity’ – for discussion.


A blatant copy of a Facebook post:

A very strong message, one which deserves critical assessment and a response, verbal or mental, as to the credibility of the pro-mandatory vaccine arguments. Surely they are successfully challenged here?

HERD IMMUNITY.
(‘My shot won’t work unless you get a shot and your shot won’t work unless I get a shot’ ..Huh?)

Doesn’t vaccinating provide Herd Immunity?

Herd immunity via vaccine is a myth and is a hilarious concept that assumes that:

1. Vaccinated people are immune to the diseases for which they have been vaccinated,
2. Can not carry the diseases for which they are vaccinated/immune,
3. Because most of the people are vaccinated, other people around them can’t catch the disease.

My favorite analogy for herd immunity is that if 95% of people in a building are all wearing hard hats when the ceiling falls in, the 5% are protected. (Dr. Robert Murdoch).

“80% of the population is over 18, and we know that most of the population are unvaccinated, most haven’t received any since grade-school. So if herd immunity does exist, one has to conclude, by use of logic, that it exists because over 80% of the population is unvaccinated.
http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/00000.html (23.3% of US are under 18)

There are noted cases dating back to the early 1900s where fully vaccinated populations in the army and navy were infected. They have almost 100% compliance in most cases. Did you know they used to teach Doctors in medical school that childhood vaccines lasted a lifetime? This was believed for over 70 years. It was not until recently that it was discovered that most of these vaccines are quite ineffective and sometimes only last 2 years. What this means is that at least half the population, have had no vaccine-induced immunity against any of these diseases for which they had been vaccinated very early in life. In essence, a large majority of the population has been unprotected for decades.If we listen to present-day CDC wisdom, we are all at risk of resurgent massive epidemics should the vaccination rate fall below 95%. However, most people have lived for at least 40 years with a large portion of the population having no vaccine protection. That is, herd immunity has not existed in this country for many decades and no resurgent epidemics have occurred. Vaccine-induced herd immunity is a lie used to frighten doctors, public-health officials, other medical personnel, and the public into accepting vaccinations.

3 out of 4 people are unvaccinated adults. Do the math! Hundreds of thousands of people die every year from preventative medical errors. I want to know where the legislation is for safer medical practice? Don’t insult the intelligence of Americans by reporting .00004% of the population got the measles and NO ONE DIED!!! Give me a break. It’s the vaccine that started the outbreak AND almost half the people infected were VACCINATED! Not to mention, it was mostly ADULTS, not children who got the measles. Oh, but let’s use this FAKE epidemic as an excuse to kick perfectly healthy, non-contagious kids out of school while we allow other contagious kids w diseases like HIV/AIDS, Tuberculois, and Hepatitis B go to school while protected by the constitution.” (Various selections credit to Landee Crier)

According to statistics, the majority of outbreaks occur in populations where the majority of individuals were previously vaccinated.

http://aje.oxfordjournals.org/content/139/1/77.short
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8483623
http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/6/5/00-0512_article

There are many outbreaks among vaccinated populations. The vaccinated don’t fare any better in an outbreak than unvaccinated. The largest clinical trial ever done on any medicine proves this. The University of Michigan, 1955, Francis, etal’s study on the Salk polio vaccine. It was done on over 1,000,000 children, with 750,000 children used as placebo. During the 6 months of the study, an average of 57 of every 100,000 vaccinated children got polio, and 54 of every 100,000 children in the placebo group got polio.

A recent study published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences for instance, found that, despite more than 50 years of population-wide vaccination, cases of whooping cough are on the rise. The culprit? Antigens of Bordetella pertussis that not only are completely ineffective at preventing infection with Bordetella parapertussis, a whooping cough bacterium similar to B. pertussis, but actually promote it by interfering with the body’s natural infection clearance protocols.

————- Quick vaccine facts

Quick Facts:
1) There are NO studies showing the current vaccine schedule is safe or effective!
2) CDC are known liars.
3) Billions have been paid out to vaccine-injured families!
4) History shows all death by disease declined 90-98% PRIOR to widespread vaccination.
5) Vaccines are scientifically proven to shed and spread disease.
6) You cannot sue after being injected with toxic substances forced on you, even if your child dies.
7) MILLIONS of parents the world over have observed what these dangerous products do to their children.
8) 1 in 6 children in the US has a learning disability.
9) 1 in 50 has autism and Cancer is leading cause of death in children past infancy.
10) There are known carcinogens in vaccines.
11) 54% of our youth suffer from a chronic illness triggered by vaccines.
12) US has highest infant mortality rate of any industrialized country AND the highest mandated vaccine schedule to infants.
13) Pharma pays MILLIONS to law makers to approve unstudied, unsafe, unnecessary vaccines for profit.
14) Herd immunity is another lie and does not exist because 3/4 of the population is unvaccinated (artificial immunity wanes) and there have been no major outbreaks of any infectious disease for decades.
15) Every single pharmaceutical company has been found guilty of fraud in the last few years: Every single one!
16) More people are harmed by vaccines than by the diseases they “purport” to protect against.
17) If a product works and is good, it sells itself. There is no need to mandate or force it.
18) Pharma are known liars.
19) The hoax is over- vaccines are ineffective, a farce, and the greatest lie ever told!
20) This, along with chemo, will go down in history as the most barbaric practice ever carried out on the human race! ~Via Landee Crier

Vaccines: an ideal covert op to genetically re-engineer humans


“Why is the government(s) so maniacal about injecting vaccines?”

Pushing the boundaries of science, human behaviour, ethics and credibility.

This ‘Activist Post’ by Jon Rappoport offers us compelling information that does just that.

By linking the complete article here, I pass on this pushing of boundaries onto your comprehension and belief parameters. Probably also your impartiality boundaries 🙂

No Garden? Here Are 66 Things You Can Grow At Home In Containers


From ‘Wakeup-World’

By Rachel Cernansky

Growing your own food is exciting, not only because you get to see things grow from nothing into ready-to-eat fruits and veggies, but you also don’t have to worry about the pesticides they might contain, and you definitely cut down on the miles they—and you—have to travel.

As it turns out, with pretty minimal effort, anyone can be a gardener. My boyfriend and I are essentially first-timers this season and so far have the beginnings of strawberries peeking out, tomatoes are on their way, the basil’s about ready for a big batch of pesto, and once the last frost hits, the peppers, kale, spinach, chard, and mesclun(sic) will be on their way, too. All on a tiiiny(sic) little terrace (with the help of a little DIY carpentry).

If you’re up to the challenge—and it really isn’t much of one—growing your own food can be so rewarding. And so much cheaper! Just be sure to choose the  right planter  or  container, learn how to  maintain it properly, and go find yourself some seeds! (Or starter plants.)

Like this idea? Be sure to check out these  6 Crazy Concepts for Micro Gardens That Actually Work  to get inspiration for designing your own garden in a small space.

Here’s a starter list of all the crazy things even urban gardeners, without space for a garden, can grow at home.

Tree fruits – including apples

1. Apples can be grown in a container; you can also grow them on the balcony or other small space using a technique called espaliering.

2. Kumquats

3. Avocados (plenty of extra tips online if you search)

4. Blackberries

5. Blueberries (sometimes helpful videos are available online)

6. Pomegranate

7. Cherries

8. Figs

9. Pears

Citrus fruits

Citrus trees in particular are said to be good for beginning gardeners and are easy to grow indoors, so don’t let inexperience or lack of outdoor space stop you from enjoying fresh-picked, hyper-local fruit.

10. Dwarf oranges

11. Grapefruit

12. Tangerines

13. Meyer lemons

14. Limes

Tropical fruits

Tropical fruits can also be surprisingly easy to grow indoors, even in non-tropical climates. Such as…

15. Bananas (look for container gardening tips online)

16. Pineapple

17. Papaya

18. Guavas (several varieties)

The real surprises

19. Hops—yes, as in the “spice” ingredient in beer. Turns out they’re easy to grow!

20. Aloe Vera

21. Strawberries

22. Tea (well, herbal tea)

23. Quinoa!

The non-surprises

24. Tomatoes

25. Summer squash

26. Other squashes, like acorn and pumpkin

27. Hot Peppers

28. Sweet peppers

29. Cucumbers

Melons

30. Small cantaloupe

31. Jenny Lind melon (an heirloom cantaloupe)

32. Golden Midget Watermelon

Herbs

Just about any herb grows well indoors—just be sure that if you’re going to do any container-sharing, you do your research first about which herbs co-habitate well together. (Some will hog water, for example, and leave the others dried out.)

33. Basil

34. Oregano

35. Parsley

36. Rosemary

37. Chives

38. Catnip

39. Thyme

40. Sage

41. Parsley

Leafy Greens

42. Kale

43. Mesclun greens

44. Spinach

45. Swiss chard

46. Lettuces (plenty of options there, from micro-greens to head or loose-leaf)

47. Mustard greens

48. Collard greens

49. Arugula

Root Vegetables

50. Carrots

51. Beets

52. Potatoes

Other healthy-sounding stuff

53. Sprouts

54. More sprouts: mung bean and lentil sprouts

55. Wheatgrass

56. Kohlrabi

57. Turnips

58. Rutabagas

59. Celeriac

60. Parsnips

61. Jerusalem Artichoke

62. Sugar snap peas

63. Rhubarb (not ideal in a container, but it can work)

64. Mushrooms (again, more tips online if you look)

65. Pole Beans

66. Aaaand… asparagus, although some disagree that it does well in a container. Try it if you’re ok with a risk!

Bonus 67: You can grow your own loofah, too, but you’d need a garden rather than a container for that.

Victorian Government releases farcical smart meter technical study


This is how governments try to avoid their responsibility for maintaining health and safety standards for the public.
The Australian Victorian Government mandates a seriously suspect imposition on us, and refuses to risk being found out that they are contributing to public health problems.
Definitely not a government for the people! (Or ‘by’, or ‘of’).

Stop Smart Meters Australia

Last year, the Victorian Government announced it would conduct a health audit on smart meters.

See: http://stopsmartmeters.com.au/2014/07/16/herald-sun-reports-of-illness-prompt-audit-of-smart-meter-radiation/ and

http://stopsmartmeters.com.au/2014/04/19/media-release-victorian-governments-smart-meter-health-audit/

This ‘health audit’ transformed into a “technical study”.  It is obvious that the Government came to realise that a health audit would come up with results that contradicted government propaganda that microwave emissions from smart meters have absolutely no impact on people’s health – thus it was changed to a technical study to demonstrate that smart meter emissions meet Australian standards.  We know that smart meter emissions comply with the ARPANSA (Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency) standard – that is not the issue.  What a waste of $200,000 of taxpayers’ money!!  See: http://www.pressreader.com/australia/herald-sun/20150703/281792807686882/TextView 

The recent Victorian technical study looking at smart meter radio frequency (RF) emissions is a distraction and a sham because it does not look at the health problems being raised by those claiming to be impacted…

Climate Council: junk science leads to record levels of alarmism


About the Australian Climate Council.

Australian Climate Madness

Only the ABC cares about Flannery any more... Only the ABC cares about Flannery any more…

The Climate Council is nothing more than an alarmism generating machine. Every year the level of hysteria increases faster than global temperatures, and breaks records with monotonous regularity.

With Tim Flannery and Will Steffen slowly stewing in their own warmist juices, there is no moderating element to reign in the madness, which gets more and more extreme every year.

And, despite being a privately funded organisation, the Climate Council has the ABC as its uncritical media department, providing – for free – all the publicity that it needs. And when I say ‘for free’, I mean paid for by our taxes.
