Replacing A Smart Meter With A Safe Analog Meter.mov

[jananbanana77]

how do we stop them from charging us for changing them back? i had to agree to pay $10 to have mine changed back and they are going to charge me $5 to maintain the analog. i think this is wrong! what can i do?

[minivanjack]

@jananbanana77 There is a legal notice and analog meter kit at FreedomTaker (d'o't'c'o'm) that people are using. The notice makes the power company liable for violations of law, rights, safety and health so you can replace your own meter. Your "opt-out" fees are actually lower than most areas. What area are you in?

[jananbanana77]

@minivanjack redwood city, Ca - yes they lowered ours and i saw that i can get my own, but i didnt want to go thru all that doing it myself. they came out today and replaced it. i had 2. one on the electrical and one on the gas too! theres still the neighbors left there, but i talked to her and she is hopefully going to opt out too. i am on low income so its cheaper for me.

[minivanjack]

@jananbanana77 I hate to hear of people being badgered into paying monthly for the rest of their lives to simply not be violated. When our institutions go into the extortion business we have to all think about fundamentally changing the system.

[ProfessorScience12]

great video at stopstopsmartmeters.ca/

[Marygreeley1954]

May I share this on my channel? I am fighting my city to but this in on on my house. I will link back to you.

[minivanjack]

@Marygreeley1954 any standard YouTube sharing function is fine. We just ask that people not download the video and post it as their own. Thanks.

[Marygreeley1954]

@minivanjack Thank you very much.! This is important stuff you have here.

[minivanjack]

@Marygreeley1954 Sure. Please use embedding or a link.

[spacemanmatt]

That's why I keep a policy with Old Glory Robot Insurance. You can never be too sure.

[minivanjack]

@spacemanmatt "Old Glory Robot Insurance"? Please explain.

[turbovanman]

Huge liars, BC Hydro is sending out PR men to our different communties to sell the meters? WTF, more waste of money as they have rammed them into service and we've basically told them to pound sand.

The rep had the balls on national TV to say they only transmit for roughly 1 minute a day.

[iSquishy89]

Power companies are liars. They said that the meters would only emit the radiation of a single 30 minute cell phone call and would be only powered on for a minute a day but they emit more radiation then a cell phone. They say they are secure but they are not. And how the hell would they prevent energy theft?

[turbovanman]

Is this applicable to Canadian laws too?



[minivanjack]

@turbovanman The meter replacement kit at FreedomTaker (d'o't'c'o'm') comes with legal references for Canada when ordered from Canada. Most meters are standard for replacement.

[aphoolimnaught]

@turbovanman Google Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Sections 7 & 8

[dec2034]

I replaced my digital i pod with an analog turntable. Ok I have the eye of Horus spinning at 33.333 rpm when playing a CBS record, but the improvements in sound are astounding! Keep the analog meters: Keep it all ANALOG!!!

[surfstev]

I don' t have a smart electric meter on my home but I was told by someone at the gas company that all of the gas meters in my area are smart meters and can be read by the office. How is that possible? Gas meters are not even hooked up to electricity. Are they?

Wow.

I just googled gas smart meters and a picture of my gas meter came up. I also read that there are smart water meters.

"SoCalGas to install six million smart gas meters" I didn't make that up!

[minivanjack]

@surfstev That's a good point. How do they power smart gas meters?

[aphoolimnaught]

@minivanjack the way it has been explained to me, the gas & water meters are battery/capacitor powered with rewritable memory & programmed to chat b-directionally w/ the electricity meter, as well as other smart meters (even tho sharing data w/ neighbours is not legal), as well as w/ collectors & collector meters (even more high frequency items) which in turn communicate w/ satellites by RF frequency en route to the utility & who knows where else?.

[axelroach]

@minivanjack Really need help, I do not want my smart meter on my house. I live in canada and am just wondering how i can do this?

[doranpat]

they are run by a battery that looks like a double aa though they are supposed to last 20 years--this is from the installer from the gas company --

[doranpat]

@doranpat -and he showed it to me.

[aphoolimnaught]

For a true Faraday cage the size of the Farraday mesh hole matters. If accurate the mesh will block outgoing radiation in the same way as incoming radiation. The 'code room' in embassies use secure communications would use a type of Faraday cage to stop eavesdropping on communications. (Some are like bank vaults) The equipment itself would also be shielded to stop 'cleartext' signals getting out. ie being accidentally transmitted w/ 'encrypted' text. A simpler approach is a metal garbage can

[aphoolimnaught]

Shielding gets better at higher frequencies. At low frequencies, even absorption shielding is useless. For low frequencies, use high-permeability shielding to re-route the magnetic field lines, like mu-metal.

[aphoolimnaught]

More techy talk: Ungrounded faraday cages are only practically effective against static EM. While it is technically blocking the signal to and from the s/meter, if ungrounded all that RF/microwave frequency energy goes into inducing currents in the cage, just like any other antenna, & if there's no ground for that current to dissipate into, enough of it ends up re-emitting into the inside of the cage.

[aphoolimnaught]

Grounding a mesh cage or foil wrap is the safe way to shield a s/meter. Even $500 smart meter shield kits include a ground wire. Here is an extrapolation of Wikipedia's Faraday cage grounding advice from geeks: To prevent a Faraday mesh cage (for a s/meter) from capacitively coupling to any other possible circuits , & to prevent crosstalk interference from cables, connecting the shield to ground causes the frequencies to safely capacitively couple to the ground instead. The safe way to stay safe

[moles2000]

SCE says they will eventually come replace my meter. Gods knows how much I will have suffered in the meantime. SO what if I wrap my meter in aluminum so it does not work? I have no gates or fence to keep them out and I can't sit all day and night watching for them. Perhaps bear traps in the leaves??? ;) I could handle that. How do I get them to hurry up, I have doctors request.

[minivanjack]

@moles2000 You seem to be EMR sensitive (8% of people are). Aluminum foil reflects EMR. It can cause more EMR as the transmitter keeps trying over and over to contact the receiver. Make sure it reflects all energy away from people. Best not to wrap it, just make a reflective panel. The best is a mesh cage, grounded to water pipes. They may never change your meter. You'll probably have to do it yourself. One source of analog meters is FreedomTaker (d-:o-:t-:c-:o-:m).

[moles2000]

@minivanjack I told Bryce, their super on the phone that I could just have someone replace it and he said, "no one will do that" hahahahaha

Bet me!

[aphoolimnaught]

@minivanjack If you want protection against penetration of a cellular frequency of up to 2.4 Ghz, then you need a wire mesh of ~6.25mm (1/4 inch), & that will also work for all lower frequencies such as 900 MHz.

[yandrsupreme]

@minivanjack How far away does one have to be away from these smart meters to avoid the EMR?

[midsummery]

@yandrsupreme /watch?v=FLeCTaSG2-U "92 feet maybe safe", 17 minutes into video.

/watch?v=uRejDxBE6OE At 15 feet, RF meter is shown to buzz frantically.

stopsmartmetersdotorg has FAQ & email address to ask your question.

I'm not sure how walls affect. I told my neighbors and they don't seem concerned, though they are closer.

[ctwatcher]

@moles2000 They put smart water meter in my basement and I put foil over it but it still allows them to read it. I don't even know if it helps. NV is getting ready to put in smart meters and telling customers they can opt out but it will be expensive as they will have to manually read old meter. Some people might not be able to afford old meter now.

Contact a lawyer, who can afford that? Once again, one must have lots of money to be healthy? Just wrong!

[MrsZambezi]

@moles2000 Just stand in a bucket for 2 hours with a tin foil hat on. The evil smart meter spirits will be permanently exorcized.

[2011so5]

The electric charge of the ammonia ion keeps it from crossing the blood brain barrier. The electromagnetic microwave pulse briefly interrupts that charge allowing it to cross. This is why people, in the first stage, are suffering from insomnia, depression, anxiety, and headaches.

[aphoolimnaught]

@2011so5 ...Disabled people do not revolt. Don't wait. Disability is one of their strategies. Why refuse to resist this blatant assault on our families, our health, privacy, savings, legal rights, our democracy.

Fight back!

Barricade analog meters.

Electronic SMs can be "foiled". Foil wrap them. Ground the wrap. Flexible mylar foil pix at insulation 4 less {dot} com. A few layers work well. For relief stop ALL 2 way meter transmissions. Remember S/M stands for Smart Meter, not Sado/Masochism

[moles2000]

@aphoolimnaught sick people can't sustain a fight, illegal aliens are afraid to fight. same thing. Keep your mouth shut so no one sees you. More info on foiling a meter please?

[aphoolimnaught]

@moles2000 The smart meter must be totally wrapped w/ heavy duty Reflectix or Prodex type flexible insulation foil. Overlap foil as much as possible. Use tightly applied duct tape. Don't leave even a tiny single pinhole entry or exit route for any zigbee chip transmissions. There's still a built-in non RF flash drive that records our wires usage & stores household data for 2 months. It can rewrite personal data 1000s of times. The last gasp back up capacitor system notifies loss of power.

[SuperRenegade666]

@aphoolimnaught Disabled people are some of the dumbest people. I can't wait until inflation destroys them.

[4skully]

@SuperRenegade666 when Karma kicks your ass all disabled people will be vindicated

[ChemtrailOrbs]

@SuperRenegade666 Did you honestly just say that? lol.. go drown in pig shit you cunt

[PfiatDi]

What if the power company calls your bluff and just shuts down power to your home? Can they do that? What if they charge you some crazy amount every month because they have to send some fat slob out to read one meter?

[aphoolimnaught]

@PfiatDi They already KEPT the meter reader salaries after they fired the meter readers. You may recall that customers were never rebated when the utilities everywhere bragged about how much money they were "saving" by getting rid of meter readers. Seems no one noticed that then the utilities all pocketed the meter reader salaries that were already structured into your bill. To charge you now to read your analog meter would be double dipping.

[aphoolimnaught]

@PfiatDi Isn't it time customers got informed about their rights & called the utility's bluff? These frequencies violate building codes & corrode metal in your house wiring & structural metal very fast. The absolutely best thing you should try to do is to hang on to your "approved" analog meter. If EVERYONE did this they would NEVER be able to counter organized solidarity. As it is? They are "capitalizing" on dividing us & then picking each customer off one at a time.

[minivanjack]

@PfiatDi Tell them they have no easement to radiate your property and conduct surveillance of your private activities inside your home. Federal Wiretapping Statute Title 18 and Bill of Rights 4th Amendment. When we allow criminals to make public policy this is hat e get.

[moles2000]

In Socal I put a note to not give me a smart meter. They took it down and put on the new meter which has been causing me health problems. Tlaing with SCE and CPUC I found I can be put on a list to remove it. You can also get them to not install it if fyou don't have one. Edison came out and put a do not install tag on my daughters. It may take a while to get mine removed but we are making progress. Call and get on the list if you don't have one and tell everyone else too!

[aphoolimnaught]

@moles2000 Systemic electromagnetic enclosure is like a covert bioweapon. A polite request is not a defence. Might as well post a sign saying: "Dear Enemy: Please Do Not Attack My Castle. Thanks. P.S.Can I Please Have My Rights Back When You Have A Spare Moment? Best Regards, Pushover". Any inadequate defence will be ignored by hardened corporate lackeys. Bullies sneer at & ignore meter targets & the laws of the land. If they can, they will stop at nothing. Stand your ground. Defend your home.

[SteeleU]

Awesome. 

[aphoolimnaught]

Congress approved the Smart Grid Congressmen/women also made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.

The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their

term(s), then go home & back to work.

If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S.) to receive

the message.

Don't you think it's time?

2 for 1: This is how you fix Congress AND vote down the Smart Grid!

[aphoolimnaught]

4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

5. Congress loses their current health care system & participates in the same health care system as the American people.

6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

7. All contracts with past & present Congressmen & Congresswomen are void effective 1/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen & Congresswomen.

[aphoolimnaught]

Congressional Reform Act of 2011

2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social

Security.

All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, & Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.

3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all

Americans do.

[aphoolimnaught]

Yes this is related: Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in the United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around.

Congressional Reform Act of 2011

1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office & receives no pay when they're out of office.

[valcroft69]

ok great

[adamatova]

If I attempt to do this, the utility company will take measures.

[minivanjack]

@adamatova If you want to protect yourself and your family from surveillance and radiation, the measures YOU take are what matters. What your utility company does must be legal, ethical and safe. Smart Meters are none of those things, so you have the advantage. But you have to recognize that and proceed with that knowledge, confidence and purpose.

[adamatova]

@minivanjack - may hold true for the States, but it's another situation overseas.

[adamatova]

@adamatova - I'm stuck with this POS till I can get a place off the grid. Since they installed it I haven't slept in over a month through the night.

[aphoolimnaught]

@adamatova And you took no steps to stop it? Please go to less emf {dot} com for non ionizing radiation shielding info

[MsGillian57]

@adamatova I live in the Middle East and smart meters are here. Before moving here, I lived in East Asia and smart meters were being installed there. Google Brazil, they are putting in smart meters. Where "Overseas" are you referring to, because I've been living "Overseas" now for 11 years and those dang things are everywhere.

[aphoolimnaught]

@MsGillian57 Yet, as if in a trance, so few even question why the common denominator of our collective dependence on electricity can, is being & will be used against all of us, everywhere - unless we assert what is left of our rights, now. The poker tell on this technocratic universal drift net is the utter indifference of those in charge who cause suffering & often irreversible electrical induction harm. the other clue is that it is almost simultaneously unfolding globally - on whose orders?

[aphoolimnaught]

@MsGillian57 Electronics are very easy to subvert, and yet so few do so. No wonder they expect to be able to walk all over us. Bullies are cowards. Call their bluff. Even little old ladies are using simple subversive techniques to stop transmission of SMs, foiling their meters, refusing to be made ill, persisting cheerfully. Did too many people forget to teach enough young people generation how to successfully strategically subvert abuse & resist injustice?

[aphoolimnaught]

@adamatova And if you don't? If you attempt to do this your body, the bodies of those you claim to love, your savings, your assets, your property, your legal rights, human rights, civil, constitutional & property rights, your EMF safety rights, your wallet, your house wiring, your food supply & your entire life may survive via your willingness to take counter measures against those who conspire against your well being & against all the rest of ours as well.

Use your rights or lose your rights.

[christerryatl]

There is no such thing as a "carcinogenic electro-toxin". But facts never stopped conspiracy theorists and naturopaths before, did it? Just to be safe, why don't you just remove your power service all together? Perfectly safe, perfectly private, and I don't have to come across videos like this any more.

[minivanjack]

@christerryatl electro-toxins are electromagnetic radiation which are known to cause cancer, deconstruct DNA and destroy cell integrity. Your post is uninformed, arrogant, sarcastic and plain false. Any further posts of that kind will be deleted.

[thinksincode]

@minivanjack Non-ionizing radiation is not "known to cause cancer". Try again, grandpa.

[aphoolimnaught]

@thinksincode Really? Then why did the World Health Organization finally recently admit that artificial electromagnetic frequencies had to be recategorized as a suspected carcinogenic, and that is despite wireless funding for decades having been to silence the truth now taught to medical students, namely EMF non ionizing low frequency induced damage to our biology & ecosystem? Bees & all pollinators, birds, butterflies, bats, all navigational creatures are dying off in record numbers.

[MARINE1146]

@christerryatl

You are perhaps the dumbest human being I have ever come across!

[moles2000]

@MARINE1146 It is not the chrissterry is dumb but uninformed and trusting. Most of my acquaintances would agree. It is the same with mold illness. If you don't look like you are deathly ill or have a cast or wheel chair then you are not ill. EMF exacerbates mold illness which is the only reason I know as much as I do about this. I am sick from working in a moldy school. EMF makes me worse. Until it hits you or someone you love you can pretend it is a tinhat theory.

[SuperRenegade666]

@MARINE1146 How do people get to be so dumb? ahh dumb question.

[aphoolimnaught]

@christerryatl Run along troll, back under whatever corporate advocacy bridge from which you emerged. There is much work to be done & you are not part of the job assignment to help others to avoid frequency induced suffering.

[thinksincode]

@christerryatl Don't even bother. These conspiracy nuts won't listen to reason.

[aphoolimnaught]

@thinksincode The only conspiracy is one of silence about the degree of harm from microwave frequencies. No one questions that microwaves cook meat in a microwave oven. Yet the same people refuse to accept that microwaves developed as military low frequency weapons can just as easily use wiring to carry microwaves throughout the house & slow cook occupants inside via gradual electrical induction which causes heating of biological tissue. Rationality seems to be seriously overrated.

[aphoolimnaught]

UPDATE: BC Hydro sending under cover people to all Gulf Islands w/out any proof of who they are, no ID but claim to be Measurement Canada reps who insist this Provincial program is Federal, then bully people w/ imminent power cut off in freezing weather if they refuse the meter or have a barricade over the analog. An American company smashes perfectly working analog meters on arrival at temp licensed demolition site on Annacis Island, then claim they're "all out" of 1.8 mil they're destroying.

[aphoolimnaught]

This video should be required viewing for temporary Corix meter installers w a rushed bonus incentive who do the opposite of the sensible safe installation instructions in this video. Instead Corix installs s/meters while the domicile is under full electrical load. Very dangerous. If YOU have had one installed by Corix, demand a full forensic wiring assessment. Delayed fires result from trying to outrace unavoidable arcing, causing wrenching, torquing, metal fatigue, & premature wiring failure

[jbowes2]

Please be less stupid.

[1afrowolf]

Placed re-bar in front of the old analog meter today. Just waiting for the battle to come... Thanks for the video!

[minivanjack]

@1afrowolf Some people are "caging" their analog meters. Once the legal notice is sent, however, the power company has no legal standing to trespass or install any digital meter. Will they do it anyway? Probably somewhere. If they do, the power company may then enjoy a million dollar lawsuit against them and an international news story depicting them as lawbreakers. So far, power companies have not shown the intelligence to avoid that.

[movitmovit]

@minivanjack BChydro has been continuing to install them even when people have posted notices that they don't want the meter. a person can stop them if they are at home when they arrive to install it but that's about it. we are not as protected by law up here as you are and i'm a little bit jealous of that.

[aphoolimnaught]

@movitmovit Wrong. Read the Canadian Charter of Rights & Freedoms Section 7 & 8. No one is permitted to search the home or activities of anyone else nor seize the data. You have the right to be left alone in privacy. The frequencies are illegal under EMF Safety Codes for every country. They violate building codes & work safe laws. Meter installations under live electrical load cause wire compromise & fires. Frequencies corrode metal, interfere with medical devices. Meters are not UL certified

[immafreemann]

I suggest video taping the reading on the smart meter before removal for evidence as written readings can be questioned. Cell phone video would be adequate to show proof of correct reading.

[minivanjack]

@immafreemann Yes. Those instructions are sent to the people who order the meter.

[aphoolimnaught]

So far they are not touching secured meters. They know the legal issues of the publicly owned utility & the rights of the public. So lock it up! smart meter lock at gmail {dot} com. The site is smart meter lock {dot} com. Smart collars for dumb meters are becoming all the rage here in Canada. Stuck w a zap crackle pop? Get an analog replacement kit from freedom tersivertaker {dot} com. Perfect for 1/3 million stuck w/ a stealth install done w/ your house electricity on full load (fire hazard!)

[minivanjack]

@aphoolimnaught There are random reports of destruction of caging in the US by ower companies. So far no reports of criminal charges against installers, but certain to come soon.

[aphoolimnaught]

Attention BC: The BC Clean Energy Act does NOT say wireless. Hydro & Corix have no mandate to come on your property, or take away YOUR analog meter (shareholder owned). Tuesday a reliable witness reported they cut power to a whole area called Prospect Lake, outside Victoria for several hours, then skulked around installing smart meters in the dead of night! We used to work with delinquents smarter than this. People on medical equipment or dependent on alarm clocks etc. should organize & sue.

[rg2027x]

"technology" was carefully designed to enslave humanity. Insure you remain feeble & dependent on corporations & govt to sustain your life on this planet. Sold to you as "making life easier"..When its true purpose is to keep you chained to the matrix. All shit you DONT NEED, yet become slaves to, fully dependent on their tech for your existence. For without it youd be "LIFELESS"..Theres a reason you have cellfones+ other digiwidgets. To set the stage, condition masses for greater things to come..

[jacmunbong]

thank u.i wish i had this option.i am absolutely dying from these,and im in an apartment with 153 smartmeters,and surrounded by several other large apartment complexes with hundreds more.the environment is completely decomposing here.all life in the creek here is dead and gone.no more frogs or fish fry.pine trees are burning alive slowly,all the other trees are almost completely dead.all the trees along the creek are completely dead.they were all fine before these meters

[minivanjack]

@jacmunbong 153 meters? You need to move. Statistically, 12 people in the complex are EMF sensistive and can sue the property owner and the power company for tens of millions. Hmm-property values. How does the landowner feel about all the dead plants and trees?

[jacmunbong]

@minivanjack i have no choice.these apartments are owned by a large corporation,and im on subsidized housing(section 8).these large corps bought out most large low quality apartments here in oregon .the only ones who accept section 8,and im disabled on ssi income of 647$a month.they now charge for water sewer and garbage at these apartments,and not based on your usage.89$for this month alone,because they drained and filled the pool .there is no money to move,and no plaace without these meters

[jacmunbong]

@minivanjack i cant even get a diagnosesw.im on medicaid.medicaid doctors dont/wont recognize any illness they cant prescribe for unless it requires imediate surgery.as for the trees,they could care less.the apt's are falling apart,and when theyre condemned they willdo what they did a block from here,level the 16acre lot of all life,and build "luxury"apartments with a big cement parking lot.they spray 25 gallons of bleach on parkinglot for mold twice a year.they could care less

[minivanjack]

@jacmunbong I never knew that mold could hurt a parking lot.

[jacmunbong]

@minivanjack they say it makes it too slick.my question to them was y dont they use salt or vinegar?both cheaper.both effective.both extremely less toll on the environment.they are extremely ignorant and simply dont care.its commercial grade bleach too

[jacmunbong]

@jacmunbong plus,even legal aid modest means attny's want 35$up front for consultation,and im told i wont have a claim because ive had cellphone service(all phone jacks for landline are painted over here)and my neighbors have wifi.ive been trying to find away for a year

[smartermeters]

thank you sir! brilliant video.

[jomossino]

You can get an EMF blocker on many devices that emit them.

[aphoolimnaught]

@jomossino Not when they co-opt your uninsulated house wiring & turn it & all of our uninsulated biological cells into fractal antennas, you can't. It is exceedingly difficult to fully mitigate these same frequencies which Barry Trower designed for military use as both a non lethal & lethal weapon. Google him. He's testifying in the Oregon wifi trial, & he honestly thought that these weapons would only be used on the "enemy", could not believe utilities are turning these loose on the populace.

[minivanjack]

@ASLforever100 This was removed by the poster. We do not remove comments unless they are hostile, insulting, misleading or irrelevant.

[CAlex6977]

Can you make a way for us to deny cell phones, computers, tvs and digital cameras as well. Lets just stop all technology!

[minivanjack]

@CAlex6977 Sadly, there is no such thing as an analog cell phone. As more information gets out about the dangers of microwave and EMF radiation, many people are starting to change their behavior to reduce and eliminate wireless radiation exposures as much as possible for themselves and especially their children.

[mainemike52]

I have an opt out form to deliver to your power company, via whatever means, that I will send to you. If you are interested in opting out and are located in the US just contact me and I will send it to you. I will send a copy to anyone but I don't know if it is legal in other countries. Peace, Michael

[minivanjack]

@mainemike52 One pitfall if "Opt Out" is not done properly (mainemike52's may be done right). Request for "Opt Out" is generally interpreted as an admission that power companies have the right to violate you in the first place, so they actually charge you to stop violating you. "Opt out" claims must include the citation of violations by the power company and Smart Meters, and must stipulate that the customer may not be charged to "Opt Out".

[aphoolimnaught]

@mainemike52 You have to first "opt in" in order to then "opt out". Why opt in at all?

[rg2027x]

"Smart"meters are form of reverse tampering by the power corp.

The utility puts in a 'smart'meter which *uses the customer's power to run its wireless broadcast functions* & charges customer for this-for power customer doesnt get to use. In terms of this law, the utility is stealing power from the customer to run its proprietary equipment!

For a customer to put back in an analog meter would then be an act of redeeming the utility from committing the crime of stealing power from the customer :)

[rg2027x]

Great video Jerry! :D Awesomely presented. Thanks much for the information and insightful commentary. You've done humanity a great service, once again. More 'power' to ya! heh heh ;) I'm going to show this vid to my electrician friend who's scheduled to replace my "smart"meter when the analog one arrives.

Further info on "smart'meter replacement & where to buy an analog meter:

[ASLforever100]

I am from Bakersfield, CA. Electric company name is PG&E. Replace for analog meter is good for all USA?  OR Just California? Or Just Burbank?

[minivanjack]

@ASLforever100 All of USA and beyond. Electric meters are very standard.

[Snowblindinfinity]

Excellent Video, people are never made aware of these intrusions on our lives, the corporate monsters control the media and the testing facilities, the research, and all other info that normally filters into common knowledge. The RF of these meters is greater than that of cell phones and other similar emitters and thus higher risk of damage. Foiling the meter can reduce it greatly BTW, watch?v=CL2JQ0FbgvU&feature=re­lated

[TexasScout]

@DumpYourTelevision: No, you don't have it wrong. It IS RF, not sub-atomic particles changing your DNA. The "radiation" thing is TOTAL bullshit.

Now as for Jerry's other points, I agree totally.

BTW, I have had an early version (self reading) of a smart meter for over ten years.

[minivanjack]

@TexasScout "bullshit?" No. There is plenty of science to support the fact that digital meters produce harmful radiation. See YouTube video "The Dark Side of Smart Meters"

[BrankoBrankov]

THANK YOU!!!

[crypter27]

Very good idea!

[martinw767]

Love all your videos Jerry, thanks for another great one.

[DumpYourTelevision]

Hmmm... Am not sure about "smart metres" as such, however your claims that "EMF" from a smart meter maybe misleading.

EMF is from electric flow, however, the "EMF" from the meters is infact "RF" radio waves.

Or have I got this wrong?

[minivanjack]

@DumpYourTelevision My understanding is that Electromagnetic Frequencies (EMF) includes Radio Frequency (RF) and other frequencies such as microwaves.

[DumpYourTelevision]

@minivanjack

Dont forget the one that we all enjoy...

LIGHT (our eyes are broadband receivers in the visable light spectrum)

I think this [video] is just more fear mongering, or the uploader hasn't quite grasped what RF actually is yet.

[DumpYourTelevision]

@minivanjack

ooops... you were the uploader!!

Thank you so much for posting this. I already have the website on hand so if they come and try to repalce mine, I will follow all the directions given and have theirs sent back.

God bless you!!

@adreamtosome Why not simply secure your analog meter in the first place? Way way easier than replacing it.

@minivanjack Have private utility owner go-fers actually risked damaging homes by removing collars, housing, barricades, or even hardened steel collars w/ counter sunk bolts? I have not heard of removal of any secured analogs here but then we own the utility by 50+1%. Can you tell me how to follow up on this "removal" info?
