nosing around through smart meters. 21
The IoT overseen by smart meters makes every neighborhood a veritable antenna farm that
affects the health of all life forms within the target zone. Daniel Hirsch, a lecturer on nuclear
policy at University of California Santa Cruz, stresses that one smart meter exposes people to
22
100X the microwave radiation of a cell phone. Symptoms following from exposure range from
an inability to sleep deeply to headaches, heart palpitations, chronic fatigue, difficulty
concentrating, and cancer.
Opponents nationwide have testified that radiofrequency emissions from Smart Meters cause headaches, nausea, and
insomnia. A Hurst woman told the Dallas Morning News in June that her autistic daughter began having seizures
when their Smart Meter was installed. . .[O]pponents of Smart Meters nationwide have complained about inaccurate
readings, radiofrequency interference with medical and other devices in their homes, and privacy and security
concerns. 23
The electromagnetic impact of smart meters extends far beyond the 900 MHz resonating
from home wiring. Add the 2.4 GHz frequencies of the machine-to-machine Home Area
Network (HAN) overseeing the smart meters in your area and you have RFR (radio frequency
radiation) in the harmful microwave range of 1–300 GHz. Now add the collector meter antennas
affixed to telephone poles to serve as transmission hubs for 500–1,000 homes, with frequencies
from 850 MHz to 1.9 GHz for cell phone connectivity.
24
The cumulative effect of wireless 900 MHz, 1.9 GHz, and 2.4 GHz, coupled with
conductive nanoparticle “clouds,” points directly to the neighborhood “cancer clusters” popping
up everywhere. This from Canada:
When the suburb is all transmitting, for example, in parallel signals to NAN M2M [Neighbourhood Area Network
machine-to-machine] contact, not only are there clouds inside the residences but also an overcloud at about 2.5 meters
and above in streets and above boundary layers of rooftops where the noise [of the Alasdair Philips “electrosmog”
2
2
detector] can increase from reasonable background levels of below 0.05 microWatt/cm to 400 microWatt/cm in
ambient air.
Clearly the impact of SMART meter networks is phenomenal, especially when clustered together, inducing
Doppler effects for long distances, sometimes hundreds of meters in series of clusters, reflections, generation of
25
“noise” and probably thousands of new signals/cubic meters. [Emphasis added.]
Is it any wonder that Lloyd’s of London, the world’s foremost insurer of risk, refuses to
cover health effects from wireless devices, including cell towers? Here is Sharon Noble, director
of Coalition to Stop Smart Meters:
Lloyd’s of London is one of the largest insurers in the world and often leads the way in protection, taking on risks that
no one else will. Attached is a recent renewal policy which, as of Feb. 7, 2015, excludes any coverage associated with
exposure to non-ionizing radiation. In response to clarification, this response was received on Feb. 18, 2015 from
CFC Underwriting LTD, London, UK agent for Lloyd’s: “The Electromagnetic Fields Exclusion (Exclusion 32) is a
General Insurance Exclusion and is applied across the market as standard. The purpose of the exclusion is to exclude
cover for illnesses caused by continuous long-term non-ionising radiation exposure i.e. through mobile phone
26
usage.”
Smart Meter arcs are burning out computers and shorting out surge protectors and appliances.
Add the complicating factor of the conductive metal nanoparticulates falling from chemical jet
trails and power poles bursting into flame make more sense than “a build-up of dust on
27
transformers that shorted out due to low-lying fog.” Ionized “precipitation-inducing materials”
28
in electrosmog are more to the point.
