Smart Metes Surveillance

SUBHEAD: Get informed about electric smart meter technology and what it means for your privacy. By Dharma Sanctuary on 8 March 2012 in Stone Soup Dharma - (http://stonesoupdharma.blogspot.com) Image above: Still from video below about "Smart Meters". Refering to the "Talking Happy" article about Bhutan "Gross National Happiness" measuring happiness Dharma Sanctuary wrote:

The Bhutanese are not quite happy yet, because they still live within a system that doesn't provide them a full picture. As a Buddhist I can say Buddhism is great, but because it is mostly a cultural tradition these people are still trapped in old paradigm understandings. The Bhutanese, like the rest of us, need to get informed about the current Shift that is happening and get keyed into New Paradigm language. They need to know the new science, physics, astrophysics, archaeological evidence of pre-ice age advanced civilizations and the rest. As a human being we each need to know these hidden truths, and then we will be happy.

[IB Editor's Note: On the Dharma Sanctuary blogspot Stone Soup Dharma there is link a video concerned with measuring our lives - with Smart Meters We think this is the best description yet of the privacy and surveillance aspects of the Smart Meter rollout: Video above: From (http://youtu.be/8JNFr_j6kdI). Below is an example of a form letter that could be used to establish no consent to trespass and use surveillance (Smart Meters) at your residence.

From: Energy Customer's Name Street Address City State Zip To: Energy Provider Street Address City State Zip Date of letter NOTICE OF NO CONSENT TO TRESPASS AND SURVEILLANCE, NOTICE OF LIABILITY Dear (Energy Provider) and all agents, officers, employees, contractors and interested parties, If you intend to install a "Smart Meter" or any activity monitoring device at the above address, you and all other parties are hereby denied consent for installation and use of all such devices on the above property. Installation and use of any activity monitoring device is hereby refused and prohibited. Informed consent is legally required for installation of any surveillance device and any device that will collect and transmit private and personal data to undisclosed and unauthorized parties for undisclosed and unauthorized purposes. Authorization for sharing of personal and private information may only be given by the originator and subject of that information. That authorization is hereby denied and refused with regard to the above property and all its occupants. "Smart Meters" and digital meters violate the law and cause endangerment to residents by the following factors: 1. They individually identify electrical devices inside the home and record when they are operated causing invasion of privacy. 2. They monitor household activity and occupancy in violation of rights and domestic security. 3. They transmit wireless signals which may be intercepted by unauthorized and unknown parties. Those signals can be used to monitor behavior and occupancy and they can be used by criminals to aid criminal activity against the occupants. 4. Data about occupant's daily habits and activities are collected, recorded and stored in permanent databases which are accessed by parties not authorized or invited to know and share that private data by those who's activities were recorded. 5. Those with access to the smart meter databases can review a permanent history of household activities complete with calendar and time-of-day metrics to gain a highly invasive and detailed view of the lives of the occupants. 6. Those databases may be shared with, or fall into the hands of criminals, blackmailers, corrupt law enforcement, private hackers of wireless transmissions, power company employees, and other unidentified parties who may act against the interests of the occupants under metered surveillance. 7. "Smart Meters" are, by definition, surveillance devices which violate Federal and State wiretapping laws by recording and storing databases of private and personal activities and behaviors without the consent or knowledge of those people who are monitored. 8. It is possible for example, with analysis of certain "Smart Meter" data, for unauthorized and distant parties to determine medical conditions, sexual activities, physical locations of persons within the home, vacancy patterns and personal information and habits of the occupants. 9. Your company has not adequately disclosed the particular recording and transmission capabilities of the smart meter, or the extent of the data that will be recorded, stored and shared, or the purposes to which the data will and will not be put. 10. Electromagnetic and Radio Frequency energy contamination from smart meters exceeds allowable safe and healthful limits for domestic environments as determined by the EPA and other scientific programs. I forbid, refuse and deny consent of any installation and use of any monitoring, eavesdropping, and surveillance devices on my property, my place of residence and my place of occupancy. That applies to and includes "Smart Meters" and activity monitoring devices of any and all kinds. Any attempt to install any such device directed at me, other occupants, my property or residence will constitute trespass, stalking, wiretapping and unlawful surveillance and endangerment of health and safety, all prohibited and punishable by law through criminal and civil complaints. All persons, government agencies and private organizations responsible for installing or operating monitoring devices directed at or recording my activities, which I have not specifically authorized in writing, will be fully liable for a fee of $100,000.00 for any violations, intrusions, harm or negative consequences caused or made possible by those devices whether those negative consequences are provided by "law" or not. This is legal notice. After this delivery the liabilities listed above may not be denied or avoided by parties named and implied in this notice. Civil Servant immunities and protections do not apply to the installation of smart meters due to the criminal violations they represent. Notice to principal is notice to agent and notice to agent is notice to principal. All rights reserved. Signature
