The generation of peroxynitrite has now shown to be a common denominator for both GMO's (Genetically Modified Organism) now found in most foods and Wi-Fi radiation. Why is this such a serious concern? Diane Testa, PhD clearly explains why. By Diane Testa, PhD: January 9, 2018 EMF Safety Network Apple season here in New England yielded an abundant harvest this year. But this year, consumers have a new apple option in supermarket bins: GMO apples. Genetically-modified organisms, or GMOs for short, look the same, taste the same, and smell the same as conventionally grown produce. A GMO apple’s main difference is that the cells of the apple have been altered in a laboratory whereby in most cases it contains genetic information from another organism. The developers of this technology claim these alterations lead to better crop yields or larger produce by killing off pests and weeds. However, in order for these effects to take place, large amounts of pesticides and herbicides must be sprayed on the plants and trees for the GMO technology to have its full effect.
One popular GMO herbicide is Roundup, but despite its popularity, many researchers have serious concerns with its potency as a chemical trigger for disease. When someone eats a GMO food, researchers have found that the main chemical in Roundup, called glyphosate, triggers the body to make a dangerous compound named peroxynitrite. At the same time, glyphosate causes the destruction of some essential amino acids, which are the building blocks for many critical life processes. In a landmark study performed by Dr. Pal Patcher and colleagues at the National Institutes of Health, peroxynitrite generation was implicated as a crucial mechanism underlying more than 40 chronic diseases, such as stroke, heart attack, diabetes, cancer, asthma, arthritis, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Doctors don’t often consider one unifying factor as causing such diverse disease states as allergies and hypertension, but Dr. Patcher considers peroxynitrite as the “smoking gun” in chronic disease. With the prevalence of so many chronic diseases on the rise, is there another external factor besides glyphosate in GMO foods that triggers the production of peroxynitrite? As it turns out, there is. Dr. Martin Pall, winner of a Global Medical Research award in 2013, has identified another key trigger: microwave energy from wireless devices such as Wi-Fi and cell phones. Given that all the body’s signals happen either electrically or chemically, it does not require a huge leap of intellect to imagine that an external signal can interfere with one inside the body. But how does a wireless signal cause interference in the body? Dr. Pall has discovered a calcium channel in cells that is sensitive to external interference from wireless signals. This calcium channel normally opens and closes when the body’s internal electrical environment gets altered during various metabolic processes. When a person is in Wi-Fi or near a cell phone, the microwave signal exerts a force on cells in the body, causing this calcium channel to open erroneously when it should not be open. Now too much calcium enters the cell. The downstream effect of too much calcium in the cell is the creation of peroxynitrite. Since many people nowadays live, work, and sleep in Wi-Fi and have their phone in their pocket all day long, their bodies never have a chance to return to a balanced state of metabolism. Overproduction of peroxynitrite puts the body in an imbalanced state that can lead to many chronic diseases. Many doctors, engineers, and scientists counter, however, that these wireless signals are too small to cause harm. What is their metric for measuring “small?” Let’s compare these supposedly “weak” signals to the natural background radiation that has existed since the dawn of time. According to Dr. Olle Johansson of Sweden, the currently allowed public exposure standards in Europe and the U.S. are a quintillion times stronger than this natural radiation level. A quintillion is a one with 18 zeroes to follow! The human body cannot possibly adapt in a few decade’s time to such a massive difference in radiation levels. The Centers for Disease Control list 40 fast-growing chronic diseases that all began accelerating around 1990. What changed significantly then in the environment that would substantiate such an increase in disease? The incorporation of GMO ingredients into the food supply and the expanse of wireless networks are two notable factors. Could it be that a single compound plays a key role in this prominent rise in disease? A logical, scientific explanation exists – and the solution is in our control. More than half of the countries of Europe ban their farmers from growing GMO crops. In 2011 the Council of Europe passed Resolution 1815 to take all reasonable measures to reduce exposures to wireless devices. The U.S. should follow its lead. * * * * * Diane Testa holds a doctorate in biomedical engineering and is a senior lecturer of math and engineering Western New England University in Springfield, MA.

A bill introduced on January 3rd by New York Sen. Kevin Parker would allow customers to opt out of installing Smart meter’ technology. Without question this is a critical bill to move forward and get passed. What this bill does not appear to list are the Smart Water Meters although the criteria designating this technology stated under this bill would qualify for inclusion. As of now the bill list meters related to electric or gas corporations. Smart Water Meters do need to get included. Writing and calling Senator Parker, contact Senator Parker’s Office, and all member of the energy committee to support and suggest the addition of smart water meters to the bill. Requesting one’s representative to co-sponsor would strengthen the chance to get out committee. As of this posting the list of members of the Energy Committees may or may not correctly reflect (updated) the 2018 members. Links for the both the NY Senate or Assembly: New York Senate Energy and Telecommunications Committee and the Assembly Standing Committee on Energy. Having the ability to get removed or prevent the installation of any smart meter is essential. As more understand the connection of so many confirmed health impacts that these devices create and the invasive technology compromising privacy is understood the demand by New Yorkers will only explode. It would be great if it were nipped in the bud now! By Mike Maharrey Tenth Amendment Center January 5, 2018 ALBANY, N.Y. (Jan. 5, 2018) – A bill introduced in the New York Senate would allow customers to opt out of installing “smart meter” technology on their homes and businesses. Passage of this bill would allow New Yorkers to protect their own privacy, and it would take a step toward blocking a federal program in effect. Sen. Kevin Parker (D-Brooklyn) introduced Senate Bill 7214 (S7214) on Jan. 3. The legislation would allow New Yorkers to opt out of any utility company smart meter program with no penalty. Smart meters monitor home energy usage in minute detail in real time. The devices transmit data to the utility company where it gets stored in databases. Anybody with access to the data can download it for analysts. Without specific criteria limiting access to the data, these devices create significant privacy issues. Smart meters can also be used to remotely limit power usage during peak hours. S7214 provides a comprehensive smart meter opt-out right for utility customers. It shall be the right of every customer of an electric and/or gas corporation, at no penalty, fee or service charge to decline the permission of his or her electric and/or gas corporation, (a) to replace an existing meter at such customer’s premises that is assigned to such customer’s account with a two-way smart meter or (b) to install any two-way smart meter device at his or her property without such customer’s consent. The legislation would also require utility companies to give customers 90-day notice before installing smart meter technology with a right to decline installation. It would further allow a customer to require removal of a smart meter with no charge for one year after installation. S7214 is a companion bill to A3066 currently pending in the New York Assembly. Privacy Concerns The proliferation of smart meters creates significant privacy concerns. The data collected can tell anybody who holds it a great deal about what goes on inside a home. It can reveal when residents are at home, asleep or on vacation. It can also pinpoint “unusual” energy use, and could someday serve to help enforce “energy usage” regulations. The ACLU summarized the privacy issues surrounding smart meters in a recent report. “The temptation to use the information that will be collected from customers for something other than managing electrical loads will be strong – as it has been for cell phone tracking data and GPS information. Police may want to know your general comings and goings or whether you’re growing marijuana in your basement under grow lights. Advertisers will want the information to sell you a new washing machine to replace the energy hog you got as a wedding present 20 years ago. Information flowing in a smart grid will become more and more ‘granular’ as the system develops.” The privacy issues aren’t merely theoretical. According to information obtained by the California ACLU, utility companies in the state have disclosed information gathered by smart meters on thousands of customers. San Diego Gas and Electric alone disclosed data on more than 4,000 customers. The vast majority of disclosures were in response to subpoenas by government agencies “often in drug enforcement cases or efforts to find specific individuals,” according to SFGate. “Mark Toney, executive director of the Utility Reform Network watchdog group, said the sheer number of data disclosures made by SDG&E raised the possibility that government agencies wanted to sift through large amounts of data looking for patterns, rather than conducting targeted investigations.” No Smart Meter, No Data Refusing to allow a smart meter on your property is the only sure-fire way to ensure your energy use data won’t fall into the hands of government agents or private marketers, or end up stored in some kind of government database. Passage of S7214 would make opting out a legal option for New Yorkers and give them control over their own privacy. Impact on Federal Program The federal government serves as a major source of funding for smart meters. A 2009 program through the U.S. Department of Energy distributed $4.5 billion for smart grid technology. The initial projects were expected to fund the installation of 1.8 million smart meters over three years. The federal government lacks any constitutional authority to fund smart grid technology. The easiest way to nullify such programs is to simply not participate. A3066 would make that possible. If enough states pass similar legislation, and enough people opt out, the program will go nowhere. We’ve seen a similar opt-out movement undermining Common Core in New York. Opting out follows a strategy James Madison advised in Federalist #46. “Refusal to cooperate with officers of the Union” provides a powerful means to fight back against government overreach. Such actions in multiple states would likely be effective in bringing down federal smart meter programs. UP NEXT S7214 was referred to the Senate Energy and Telecommunications Committee where it will need to pass by a majority vote before moving forward in the legislative process.

The truth regarding smart water meter misinformation A response to Ramona Municipal Water District's smart meter misinformation allegations
By Susan Brinchman, Patch Poster | Dec 27, 2017 11:25 pm ET | Updated Dec 27, 2017 11:55 pm ET Ramona Municipal Water District (RMWD) is currently installing smart water meters throughout its district, starting with San Diego Country Estates. RMWD has graciously agreed to provide free opt-outs for those customers who don't want a smart meter, according to its metering supervisor. Upon visiting RMWD's website (www.rmwd.org), a new article appears, entitled "Smart Meter Infrastructure." It alleges that the community is being misinformed about the new smart water meters, without naming sources. Smart water meter misinformation is alive and well. Unfortunately, the misinformation appears to be emanating from within, using industry-generated assertions designed to promote smart meters and calm the public down about smart meter realities many scientists and experts warn about. Literally, hundreds of thousands of utility - including water - customers have experienced unpleasant results from smart meter implementation, nationwide, in the past decade that they've been used in North America. These well-documented concerns, described at more length in the Patch article, Ramona's new smart water meters not a smart choice , involve:
Another critic of the CCST report found on the RMWD website was Dr. Karl Moret, MD, with a BS in Electrical Engineering, a Master of Engineering degree in Biomedical Engineering, and a four year post-doctoral fellowship in physiology. Dr. Moret had an interest for years in the health effects of electro-magnetic fields and energy medicine, lecturing on these topics widely. Dr. Moret's concerns about the CCST report included the following, and he called for a halt to smart meter installations as a result:
RMWD does not address the potential for conflict with other wireless devices using the same frequencies, such as garage door openers and baby monitors, described in Ramona's new smart water meters not a smart choice. In conclusion, I agree that smart water meter information can be misleading. But it is the promotional materials generated by a profit-making industry that is the source. I encourage Ramona Municipal Water District customers to strongly consider opting out of smart water meters and keeping an analog meter, by calling (and writing to document the request) the water district. As the nonprofit director of Center for Electrosmog Prevention closely involved in successfully obtaining a reduced cost gas and electric smart meter opt-out for customers of PG&E, Southern CA Edison, Southern CA Gas, and SDG&E (2011-2014), and who successfully prevailed upon Helix Water District, a utility providing water to 200,000 customers in East County, to drop their smart water meter program (2011), and now, working with RMWD to provide a free opt-out and to reconsider their smart water meter plans, I tell you that we can all make a difference. "It takes a village", as they say ... I appreciate the water RMWD has brought to such a wide area with a long history of water needs, as well as its expanded responsibilities for vital fire and emergency services. I suggest that the infrastructure and water services become more affordable - not less affordable - and truly safe for the community, and with a willing and informed spirit. I applaud RMWD for offering the free opt-out. That is a great beginning. Susan Brinchman, Director, Center for Electrosmog Prevention www.electrosmogprevention.org Ramona, CA Source: https://patch.com/california/ramona/truth-regarding-smart-water-meter-misinformation By - Lori Alton, staff writer for Natural Health 365 Originally published: June 9, 2017 (NaturalHealth365) Over 65 million American homes have currently been outfitted with ‘smart meters.’ Meanwhile, natural health experts and consumer rights advocates continue to speak out against the threat of this wireless technology – which exposes us all to highly-toxic frequency vibrations. In fact, research has shown that repeated exposure to excessive amounts of radiation can trigger migraines, neurological conditions and cancer. Now, new video evidence testifies to the damage that smart meters may be doing to our hearts. The results are visible – and undeniable The video (below) shows Warren Woodward, a specialist in smart meter microwave transmission power, connected to an EKG monitor while lying near an Elster smart meter. The Elster is connected to a high frequency analyzer, which measures microwave frequencies. As the HFA alternates between readings of 00.1 and 00.2, the EKG laptop monitor display – which shows the electrical activity of Woodward’s heart – indicates a regular, symmetrical pattern. When the meter momentarily spikes to 139.3, there is a corresponding – and drastic – alteration in Woodward’s EKG pattern. According to Dr. Gilberto Leon, a holistic medicine doctor in Chandler, AZ, the symmetrical pattern represents the characteristic waves of normal heart rhythm. The sudden irregularity, which he describes as a “massive” change in the pattern, occurs at a time when Woodward’s heart should be resting. Over time, this type of reaction makes the heart work too hard, causing fatigued cardiac function, Leon says. And, the process is symptomless and “silent” – especially in healthy people, who may not feel the disruption. Describing the bombardment of microwave frequencies as “an unnatural sequence of events that we’re not programmed to respond to,” Leon confirms that frequencies from smart meters have an effect on myocardial function. Troubling fact: Other meters in common use are more powerful than the one tested. Woodward notes that the Elster smart meter used in the video transmits at about ¼ of a watt. Other smart meters – including the Landis and Gyr Focus – transmit at just under one watt, making them roughly three times more powerful. Woodward points out that the power of the smart meter was controlled outside of his sight and hearing – meaning there is no way he could have consciously manipulated the experiment, even if he could somehow alter his actual heart rhythm on demand. Not only that, but he notes he does not have a heart condition or a history of one – nor does he take any medication that could affect his EKG readings. Go to end to watch the video: EKG Proof - Smart Meters Affect Your Heart https://youtu.be/p-aNRQNRtaI Smart meters are a threat not only to your health – but to your wallet as well According to an eye-opening Dutch study conducted by the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences and published in the scientific journal IEEE Electromagnetic Compatability Magazine, over half of the smart meters tested gave readings that were higher than the actual power consumed. And these were not modest or insignificant errors. In some cases, the false readings came in at a whopping 582 percent higher – with 581, 566 and 475 percent following close behind. This could theoretically result in a near six-fold increase in a utility bill – an outrageous rip-off. You can legally refuse to have a smart meter installed in your home – and here’s how. To begin the process of protecting your health and your rights, be sure to read “Forced vaccinations and smart meters – How to legally stop it” – which includes a podcast featuring Jonathan Landsman and consumer rights advocate, Jerry Day. Smart meters pose a fire risk On July 9, 2010, a Vacaville, CA man was killed by a fire caused by a Pacific Gas and Electric smart meter, with the fire consuming his house the day after contractors installed a Landis and Gyr meter. Larry Nikkel, a well-liked local musician who was on the eve of retirement from his day job as groundskeeper at Solano Community College, lost his life due to smoke inhalation and burns from electrical fire. It is believed that the meter may have been improperly installed, causing a dangerous phenomenon known as “arcing.” In violation of the FCC requirements that smart meters be installed by a professional electrician, workers at the Wellington Energy – the company that installed the meter – only receive 20 hours of training. A wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family against the utility company, subcontractor and meter manufacturer has since been settled for an undisclosed sum. And, there are other reports of smart meter fires throughout North America. In August 2012, PECO Energy of Pennsylvania was forced to suspend its deployment after 26 separate incidents in which smart meters either caught fire or exploded. In Canada, the Ontario Fire Marshall reported encountering “an unusual amount of fire incidents involving smart meters.” Many more incidents are documented at StopSmartMeters.org. Enough is enough: We must stand up and protect our lives Millions of people live, work and play in close proximity to smart meters, with apartment residents often forced to sleep near entire banks of them. Although we’ve been told by utility companies and utility regulators that smart meters are safe and have no effect, the fact is: smart meters may be affecting everyone’s health by stressing cardiac function. And, this in addition to the other serious threats to health, privacy and safety represented by these toxic devices. The American Academy of Environmental Medicine has already requested a recall of smart meters until their effects have been adequately studied. And, at the video’s end, Woodward echoes their plea, calling for a complete safety recall of all smart meters – immediately. But will the “powers that be” actually listen?

Video Published: October 24, 2017 By Cabin Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a7-PRswCrQ With the advancement of tracking technology to now include transitioning to AMR Water Meters from the foolproof never breaks down analog water meters for the Town of Glenville now taking place the question as to how the town intends to recover $1.7 million needs to be addressed and with very specifically detailed answers by the Town. It’s already known that $10 will be slapped onto the next billing. However, that total amount based on the 5,500 homes quoted to be transitioned leaves a balance of around $1.6 million as ‘The entire cost will be borne by water district customers’. This will be accomplished by a new billing system. Once the new computer software is in place the billing criteria will change. What is typically done with this type of system where the pulsed signals are captured either by device, radio signal relay, etc. will occur minimally on a monthly basis, if not daily, once all relative infrastructures is installed. The benefits that will be told to the customers such as any leaks can be identified and individual home monitoring use can be reviewed on line. That is conditioning the customer to accept being monitored. In other words all customers will be spied on depending on how on the sophistication of the computer software and radio signaling, to when, at what time and how much they consume water. The propaganda spewing benefits such as discovering a leak where even without this monitoring device would be discovered easily in any home will help the unsuspecting to embrace the new tracking device. And yes, water is a precious resource. However, long term where with the agendas along with different town government incumbents may work against even the most conservative users. Reviewing the revised Comprehensive Plan dated October 23, 2017 now posted on the Town of Glenville’s URL under General Information where anyone can download the plan. On page 100: F) Priority Initiatives 1) Government • Conduct an analysis of the Town’s water use fee structure to evaluate opportunities to fund capital improvements. There you have it. Glenville residents have now been advised what will occur for ‘use fee structure’ by the town. Analysis means ‘more to come’ to be sure! It’s a matter of figuring out where to find this ever so special nugget of information. There are additional discussions in the Town Plan to hopefully expand water service (opportunities?) to adjacent communities. However, monies will potentially be needed for those types of ‘capital improvements’. Be it for current investments or expansion plans the residents (customers) are expected to be the venture capitalists without any return on investment yet with only an eventual lofty water bill. One can wonder why it is felt that expansion of water service to adjacent communities is needed except for the desire and/or need to generate income to the Town’s coffers. That concept does not need to be considered as negative as it could be viewed as a segment of total revenues in keeping the town solvent as well as continue with the ability to provide very good services. Yet the town’s residents may have to cough up monies that will strap many. Even if the town is able to renegotiate for the 2020’s share of tax revenue generated from the county such as the casino revenues and successfully increase that share to the town the hopeful tax offset could be passed on. Yet, there likely will not be much gain, if any, in anyone’s pocket due to this capital expenditure. It is hard to know at this level right now. Does the current Town Board and Planners have nefarious intent as what is described by installing this type of tracking technology water meter system? It is very likely not the case and all are well intended. And that is evident to the many very good improvements occurring in the town over the past several years. However, insufficient research is obviously limited or done only in one direction on the water meters along with some other plans on their part. Why? Why then has the Town of Glenville have taken what is really an unnecessary route to add what is nothing other than a very expensive and intrusive piece to the Smart Grid agenda is really unknown unless one has inside information or is part of the Board or Planning Committees. It’s possible the local (town) government in this area has waived, or in a way required to give up or even that they drank the Kool-Aid by handing away that level of control to the state level along with associated nongovernment associations and public private partnerships steering the Agenda 21/Agenda 2030 initiatives. Two to mention, although reviewing the web sites on the agendas and plans reveal some specific and more with plenty of platitudes and propaganda yet are still worth giving a review: Smart Grid Roadmap New York September 2010 and New York State Regional Economic Councils. Then research those very informative sites such as Technocracy News to begin to understand what is really going on across New York State and across the country affecting privacy and property rights to name two. It’s interesting to note how the verbiage on both the short and long term goals for the Town of Glenville’s Updated Plan submitted October 23, 2017 appears uncannily similar to the Smart Grid Roadmap for NYS September 2010. Image Source: We Can’t Live in Fear of Our Own Intelligence Community The Town of Glenville residents received a notice to make an appointment with East National Water, LLC to install AMR Water meters at “free of charge”. Really? Is this really the truth? In the notice sent to the Town of Glenville residents and business on October 2, 2017: “Recently, the town has contracted with East National Water, LLC of Palmer, MA, to replace your in-home meter, This will occur free of charge.” So who is really paying East National Water for this installation? According to the article by the Daily Gazette dated June 26, 2017 YOU are! “The entire cost will be borne by water district customers. Koetzle said the project will add about $10 per year to each water bill, some of which will be offset through lower postage costs and the more-efficient use of staff once the billing system changes.” How is that free of charge? Ten dollars may not seem like much. However, has any discussion occurred to the residents of Glenville how a ‘new billing system’ will undoubtedly exponentially raise the water bills over time? How long will this extorted ten dollars per year go on for? First, consider the high cost of installing these meters and software. Going back to the Daily Gazette article where it states the following: “The Town Board recently awarded two contracts totaling $1.78 million for the meters and their installation. Last week the Town Board voted to borrow $950,000, with the remainder of the project cost coming from a capital reserve account. The purchase includes both the meters and the computer software needed to read them.” That amount is more than what the Town of Glenville can really afford. It is already on record the entire cost will be borne by the water district customers. Thus, what might happen if they successfully install these meters in everyone’s homes and businesses? According to an article by Oracle, a heavyweight in data management with a competitive focus on Smart Grids, where back in 2009 discusses that once the computer program is in place the benefit to the utility, now potentially being applicable to the Town of Glenville states: “Customer information systems that easily and rapidly implement new rates.” After all, how long is the Town of Glenville willing to wait for full recovery on that big loan? Currently and at least through 2018 our fail safe analog meter reads are submitted once per year to the town. Low water users pay $40 per year for water that is sourced from an aquifer then treated with neurotoxins and carcinogens such chlorine and fluoride (another serious topic). The annual water bill was the only reasonable cost for the residents of Glenville while our pockets are otherwise being sucked dry with property and school taxes. What will likely happen then once this computer software is in place and most homes are now suckered into replacing their analogs with a meter that transmits information via radio frequencies? Let’s go back to that Oracle article discussing how thee meters work: “In AMR, meters communicate their monthly or daily consumption totals to a central collector using one of a number of different communications techniques, such as radio signals, power-line communications, or satellite reads. In other words, they are designed to replace house-to-house meter readers with centralized collection.” Monthly or daily consumption totals? To a centralized collection? The town states they will drive by to capture the reads once per year. How long will that be? Time will tell. And all for $1.7 million. Here is my prediction on what will happen likely close to around 2019 to 2020. Your annual bill will transition to a monthly bill. Given the current rate of minimal water use at $40 year that would equate to $3.33 per month. Sending monthly bills at this amount would not be cost effective. The Town of Glenville needs to find some way to recover the $1.7 million contract expenditure to install meters in a mere 5,500 homes and businesses. That cost is approximately $310 per home or business. The $10 per year extorted fee would otherwise take approximately 31 years in order to recover these expenditures. Thus, that leaves approximately $300 left per unit to repay this contract and loan. Predictably, the Town of Glenville residents will likely eventually be forced into a monthly bill at or around a minimum of $25 per month, $300 per year increasing the cost by about 750%. If the town does not go that route, which I doubt that they won’t, it will have to be inserted into the property tax bill. Either way, the Town of Glenville residents LOOSE. As with all taxes, once these expenditures are paid back by the residents, will these monthly or annual increased costs of only $10 go away? I doubt it. As Koetzle was quoted in the Daily Gazette: “The entire cost will be borne by water district customers.” That is what he said. THE ENTIRE COST. Let that sink in as $10 per customer extorted charge obviously will not cut it. If the Town of Glenville utilizes the AMR meter such as Invensys (there are many models out there) the meter shows an analog type that is wired fro radio frequencies to transmit flow totals as water is flowing such as gas meters. However, another invasive daily or monthly read that will eventually or immediately goes to a central location without the resident’s permission. All they need to know is the annual usage without this horrible expense. Will residents forget their 4th Amendment rights and enter into a new contract without sufficient information by allowing another Tracking Technology device along with a known, well vetted researched health hazards1 into their home on the exploding invasion of EMF’s, microwaves and radio frequencies? All of us along with our pets and all living things are now swimming in it. Unfortunately, the residents are not sufficiently educated or informed. NOT in my home. NEVER. Either The Town of Glenville does NOT have my consent to trespass on my property or will East National Water, LLC. I will happily mail in my water meter reading from my analog meter and pay the $40 on an annual basis, without the $10 extorted charge. My tax already subsidizes the town to do what seems to them a horrible dirty job for three measly months collecting the data and funds from the residents. Suck it up Town of Glenville. It’s what I have only agreed, contracted as a customer for you to do. If the Town of Glenville fully discloses the absolute costs and recovery agenda, meter reading timing and billing specifics on this water meter plan to include BOTH the short and long term analysis and agenda on what they are planning will I be able to revise what appears is going to occur. Next challenge: Getting that viciously dangerous to health and invasion to privacy Electric Smart Meter replaced by an analog. National Grid, you’ve been a problem with no thanks to then Governor Patterson and now Cuomo along with all the related NGO’s with the technocracy dictatorship they intend to fully implement.
By Jonathan Landsman October 20, 2017 (NaturalHealth365) For decades, neuroscientist Olle Johansson, PhD has sounded the alarm about the dangers of artificial electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs). Dr. Johansson has continually warned us that the bombardment of microwave radiation coming from wireless computers, cell phones and even those so-called ‘smart’ meters (being installed on homes to measure energy usage) can cause almost unimaginable harm to human health, including cancer. Now, with the advent of 5G technology and its related “smart devices,” the potential disease-causing effects are escalating at ridiculous rates. To make matters even worse, these health risks are being systematically downplayed or ignored by many (greedy) telecommunications industry officials, (spineless) government health authorities and (corporate-controlled) politicians alike. Exposing the suppressed truth about EMF pollution and its health risks. On the next NaturalHealth365 Talk Hour, Jonathan Landsman and Dr. Olle Johansson, a world-renowned expert on EMFs, reveal the scientifically-validated hazards of microwave radiation generated by cell phones and other wireless devices plus, what to do about it. If you’re concerned about relentless exposure to radio frequencies generated by the wireless industry – do NOT miss this highly-informative program. Expert opinion: EMFs are linked to cancer and Alzheimer’s diseaseDr. Johansson teaches the public about the invisible microwave radiation that passing through our bodies (due to wireless technology) and how its chronic stress-effect can lead to grave consequences, including the development of cancer, dementia plus a variety of neurological and immune-related disorders. In fact, he says that the current rise in various cancers, allergies and asthma that plague modern society can be directly linked to the increased deployment and use of wireless networks throughout the 20th and 21st century. Now, imagine the potential for health threats that will be created by the pending 5G network – which will necessitate the building of hundreds of thousands of new cell towers! Dr. Johansson’s interest in microwave pollution dates back to the late 1970s, when he “by chance” overheard a radio program that alerted him to the plight of newspaper employees in Sweden. The workers were experiencing visual problems, headaches – and even miscarriages and birth defects – following the introduction of computers and video display terminals into their office. Dr. Johansson – who was then head of the Experimental Dermatology Unit at the world-famous Karolinska Institute – investigated, and noted a constellation of symptoms that included skin problems, chest pain, memory loss, fatigue, headache, dizziness and nausea. Reporting that the damage was similar to that caused by ultraviolet radiation, Johansson deemed the syndrome “screen dermatitis.” In his groundbreaking work, Johansson was able to demonstrate that radiation from computers causes detectable changes in the skin of “normal” people – those who do not exhibit any other symptoms of electrosensitivity. To learn more about this topic and, most importantly, how to minimize your exposure – join us on the next NaturalHealth365 Talk Hour with Jonathan Landsman and Dr. Olle Johansson. New research: EMFs contribute to antibiotic resistance Dr. Johansson has long maintained that EMF pollution causes cellular changes – and suggests that cell phone use could be spurring the rise in asthma and allergies. Mast cells, which produce histamine in response to allergens, double their output in the presence of cell phone frequencies. In addition, he notes that microwaves can cause toxins to cross the blood-brain barrierand initiate Alzheimer’s disease and dementia – thereby creating the perfect storm for a prematurely senile population. And now, just-published research reveals yet another potential threat from EMF pollution … A shocking new study published in the international peer-reviewed journal Dose Responsedemonstrated that bacteria exposed to mobile phone and Wi-Fi radiation turned resistant to antibiotics. Dr. Johansson warns that this phenomenon could exacerbate the growing problem of antibiotic resistance – which has already been deemed a “global health crisis” by the World Health Organization.
