Ex-fraud investigator on smart meters [Take Back Your Power]
On May 1, 2012 Vancouver City Council will be voting on whether to issue a moratorium on "smart meters." Will they join the 39 other municipalites in BC who have voted for a "smart meter" moratorium? Or will they show themselves to be in the pocket of the corporate-run provincial government?
Below is contact information for the mayor and all council men and women. Tell them loud and clear why they need to listen to the public's concerns and demands. They previously said, "we need to focus on more important issues"!
NOW IS THE TIME to let them know you want Vancouver to become a regional Smart-Meter-Free Zone!
Get busy:

Ever since the “smart” meter controversy began in British Columbia over a year ago, the media has been suspiciously quiet.
If it hadn’t been for various letters to the editor – the only method of debate the corporate media is allowing – and a few scant pieces on the TV news, British Columbians might not even know that there were people strongly opposed to BC Hydro’s smart meter program. Of course it doesn’t help that BC Hydro downplays the numbers of those opposed.
Take a look at the mainstream press and few, if any, are actually writing/broadcasting in-depth stories on the matter. Aside from a couple of editorials by Province columnist Mike Smyth (http://www.theprovince.com/technology/Smart+meters+will+Hydro+cash/5621004/story.html) and a decent piece in The Tyee (http://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2011/03/21/SmartMeterRush/), the province’s two biggest papers are dead silent on the matter. What comes as no surprise, even The Province couldn’t allow their client’s precious smart meter program to be tarnished; they have since removed Mike Smyth’s column on the “smart meter cash cow” from their website.
An honourable mention goes out to the Georgia Straight for some decent objective pieces on dumb meters.
However, none of the big players are carrying out the investigative journalism for smart meters that they would normally carry out on other subjects. No journalists are testing BC Hydro’s claims that the radio frequencies emitted from their meters are safe, much less exposing the BC Liberals insiders profiting from the entire fiasco. Fortunately, Youtube and the blogosphere are exposing some of these BC Liberals’ lies to those with inquisitive minds. (See various Youtube videos showing constant radio frequency spiking of BC Hydro’s smart meters as well as abuse by Hydro installers, for starters.)
Major BC Liberals insider and The Vancouver Sun
The Vancouver Sun is owned by Postmedia Network Inc., whose director, David Emerson, is a BC Liberal insider directly benefiting from Corix’s takeover of BC Hydro and the implementation of the Bolshevist smart grid. (Yes, the smart grid is all about collectivization.)
But the biggest, most obvious gatekeeper in this fiasco has to be Black Press’ corporate codger Tom Fletcher, an obvious neo-conservative hell-bent on indoctrinating the masses with his partisan propaganda, whether it is cheerleading the HST (Tom Fletcher – Sleazy Journalism – http://www.jlsreport.com/?p=1741) or the glories of the technocrats’ ‘smart’ grid. To have a journalist write one or two pieces in favour of one view is quite normal. But to have a so-called journalist write several, then spend hours a day tweeting the same views is quite another thing.
Fletcher’s gatekeeping “editorials” began appearing at least as far back as last summer and are regularly (ordered?) passed down throughout Black Press’s community affiliates (over 100) across the province. After all, damage control extends to rural B.C., too. Some of Fletcher’s hit pieces on the anti-dumb meter movement appear here:
Smart meter foes strike back

UBCM delegates dive into radio waves

An engineer scolds me on smart meters
http://blogs.bclocalnews.com/victoria_view/an-engineer-scolds-me-on-smart-meters/944
This is supposed to be objective reporting? Fletcher is also touted as being a Legislative reporter, if you can believe that.
Then there are the 2,000-plus tweets of Fletcher’s, many of which belittle and ridicule those opposed to smart meters. He makes numerous ad hominem and strawman attacks, even going as far as posting photos of people wearing tinfoil hats – an obvious smear campaign in the face of all ethical standards of journalism.
Editors at the Sun and the Province would never be able to get away with such bias. (Those editors simply ignore the issues surrounding dumb meters.) But Black Press continues to allow Fletcher to deconstruct any journalistic integrity they may have had.
One Twitterite got Fletcher a little nervous recently when he played the massive hypocrite. Here is the following dialogue from mid January:
Fletcher, obviously embarrassed, deleted the tweet within minutes. Fletcher was actually lecturing his followers and those in the hash tags on objectivity at
http://onlinejournalismblog.com/2012/01/16/comment-call-objectivity-and-impartiality-a-newsroom-policy-for-student-projects/
The gatekeeping of the technocracy also extends to the TV media, which to this point has done a slightly better job than print media; however, they, too, have done no real investigative journalism and, instead, simply regurgitate the propaganda from BC Hydro that: everything is safe, nothing to see here, move along.
In an unconventional move last week, both the Vancouver Sun and the CBC embedded at Youtube a hit piece with no article
(http://www.cbc.ca/daybreaksouth/2012/02/23/misconceptions-and-smart-meter-myths/)
on their websites. There was no article, nothing to quantify it. Very strange, especially considering they won’t post a Youtube video to the contrary. News agencies rarely, if ever, post solo videos, period!
British Columbia media no strange bedfellows to BC Liberals
The media in B.C. have a history of whoring with neo-conservative governments. The former BCTV almost single-handedly brought down the Glen Clark government. Several former news anchors with BCTV (and Global) have close ties with the BC Liberals. And let's not forget the recently outed CBC Legislative reporter Stephen Smart and his ties to Christy Clark.
And under the various abuses of power by Gordon Campbell, the BC Liberals, and Christy Clark, the media has been soft, at best. The criminal BC Liberals have been in power for more than 10 years despite Railgate, Campbell’s drunken escapades, the HST, the smart meter fiasco, run-of-river projects, and more.
One thing is clear from the above: there is no free press in British Columbia, even in the rural media.

Funny, the same thing in Ontario.
I had one article in the paper back in June 2011.
That was all that they did. I have sent in letters and they will not print them. DID THE LIBS GAG THE MEDIA?

the strategy of forcibly privatizing electrical energy sources is being employed globally… check it out.
these privatizations are a team effort; the problem is that the ‘team’ is a gang of rapists.

BC Hydro is owned by the people of BC. How is it possible that our corrupt liberal party is selling our people-owned power commission to a private enterprise like Corix, without the permission of the people? The shady selling of BC Hydro is being done behind closed doors by Christy Clark and her cohorts like they had done to our railroad system. I would like to see criminal charges laid against those responsible! An election should be called immediately to finally get rid of that incompetent, corrupt Liberal Party in our BC Government. They have done a lot of harm to this Province of BC. LET'S THROW THEM OUT OF OFFICE IMMEDIATELY!

SA1C reportedly is a Fortune 500 company (number 285) with some 43.000 employees and 2006 revenues of $7.8 billion. SAIC has "close ties with Washington power brokers” according to USNWR writer Bruce B. Auster. An SAIC executive has properly termed his firm a "stealth company." SAIC is a military contractor
specializing in communications and organization and reportedly is integration contractor for the Air Force's Space and Missile System Center's advanced programs. That, among other facts, points to SAlCs involvement in developing directed energy weapons. In addition. SAIC is a company involved in psychological operations as evidenced by its involvement in a Pentagon program to feed disinformation to the foreign press and its psy-ops activities in Iraq.

Hey Anonymous: Judy "Space Beams" Wood is utterly unreliable as a source! Knowing her disinfo tactics, she's attempting to misdirect again. We're wise to her criminal shenanigans: she too (along with her partner in crime Morgan Reynolds) will be facing justice and jail time for her dishonest actions!
ReplyDeleteBy their shallow ad-hominem atacks ye shall know them...the shills and CIA trolls.
ReplyDeleteYOU are the one who brought Doctor of Deception Judy Would's (and her accomplice Morgan Reynolds') material in here – speaking of shills and CIA trolls. And that's not an ad hominem attack on Miss Beams: it's an ad feminem attack! You're welcome to consider this follow-up comment an ad trollium attack on yourself, if you wish.
ReplyDeleteSAIC quite likely contains a nest of vipers too. But the fact that Miss "Space Beams" Would – as a tenured disinfo asset, along with her sidekick Reynolds Wrap – is telling us to look there, strongly suggests that the real action is elsewhere. (And what about your student Michael Zebuhr's premature demise, Miss Space Cadet? Explain that one for us. Seeing you're a fan of "no planes", maybe you can plead "no body" – or "no comprende".)
The only way to solve this problem of the "smart meter", is to have an election. One billion dollars at cost of health and other issues, is no piece of cake .We may say that the politicians are burying their heads in the sand like ostriches.
ReplyDeleteThe truths is they don't bury their heads in the sand, they listen for danger to come. One billion dollars, let's roll out these maters fast. Who cares about health, privacy or high billing issues, we need our $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. As for Cristy Clark and Mr. Coleman, where is your integrity. you are guilty of deception and fraud by with holding important information from the very citizens who elected you.Stand up and deliver.It takes a lot of guts to that, but in the end you would gain more respect.
Readers in the UK may be interested in: www.stopsmartmeters.org.uk
ReplyDeleteNote there is no law that forces you to have a smart meter in the UK but you need to advise your power company. Certain companies like British Gas have been telling customers they need to have one fitted. This is a lie. The UK Govt. has passed legislation that makes it illegal to revert back to an analogue meter once a smart meter has been fitted. Not that the kind of meter you have is any of their business.
