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”
