Smart Meters Create A “Honeypot” Of Personal Information To Exploit

By Catherine J. Frompovich

Over a year ago, reporter Ruth Lyle of the UK’s Daily Mail, published a rather introspective article about how AMI Smart Meters will be used to spy on British households and the ramifications of that totalitarian-like practice.

In reading Lyle’s article, I could not help but wonder if U.S. consumers are aware of what’s going on with AMI Smart Meters in the USA, because surveillance is part and parcel of the ‘new energy saving’ crisis!

According to Lyle,

A Mail investigation has discovered how marketing firms are targeting data collected by smart meters, which reveal how customers use their gas and electricity, and hoping to turn the information they provide in to a steady stream of cash.  [CJF emphasis]

The above statement should be most disconcerting for utility customers everywhere, just not in the UK!  Utility companies plan to mine and sell customers’ usage data and to profit off of that data, which belongs to customers and often without customers’ knowledge and/or consent to relinquish/sell their data to unknown third parties.  How does that reality sit with you, the consumer?

According to Lyle, “Firms must ask customers’ permission before examining in depth data or selling it on to third parties,” at least in Great Britain.  How about in the USA?  If you have a newly retrofitted AMI Smart Meter on your electric, natural gas or water utility services in the USA, have you been asked by your utility company to sign a consent form to collect and sell your intimate personal usage data to unknown third parties?  Furthermore, have those utilities agreed to give you a commission or rebate on your utility bill for providing such “monetarily-and-profit-valuable” sales leads from which they anticipate earning megabucks?

Lyle points out what AMI Smart Meters are all about when she says,

Experts say firms are eying up the steady stream of data that the devices provide about customers’ lifestyles as a way of making a profit. [CJF emphasis]

The above is most outrageous, since in the USA at least, utilities received federal grants of around $200 MILLION each to roll out AMI Smart Meters.  That wasn’t enough for them, undoubtedly.  Do you know utilities will be able to jack up the usage rates when there’s high consumer utility use?  To this writer’s mind, that sounds like chutzpah, greed and outright thievery.  “Pitney Bowes describes smart meters as a ‘once in a generation business opportunity for energy providers’.”

A spokesman for SmartEnergy, UK, said

Consumers own their own data and the decision about whether this can be shared with third parties rests soley [sic] with them. No sales can take place during a smart meter installation visit.

If energy suppliers wish to undertake marketing at the installation consent from the customer has to be obtained prior to the appointment.  [CJF emphasis]

That may apply in the UK, but don’t count on owning your data in the USA and being asked to sign a consent form.  Please refer to my article “Smart Meter Data: Privacy and Cybersecurity – Congressional Research Report 2012,” which addresses many serious—even Constitutional issues—revolving around consumers’ AMI Smart Meter data; utilities selling it for profit without customers’ knowledge; spying on households to collect that coveted data; and numerous U.S. statutes no public utility commission is paying attention to—and, obviously, are in violation of—when mandating AMI Smart Meter implementation, or else termination of one’s utility service(s).

Isn’t it time for class action lawsuits against utility companies and states public utility commissions regarding the collection and selling of customers’ personal data either with or without our consent and knowledge?

What role does the ‘new’ 5G microwave planned rollout play in issues involving the ‘smart’ meme, artificial intelligence, a total surveillance society, and health safety? 

First and foremost, no health and environmental impact studies have been performed on the generational (“G”) microwave platforms that have been rolled out.  “Safety” is based upon consensus science proffered by ICNIRP, the professional association that does not accept the fact there are non-thermal radiation waves, which adversely affect humans (electromagnetic hypersensitivity and cancers), the environment and all life forms, when 32% of microwave industry studies ACTUALLY FOUND AND CONFIRMED NON-THERMAL EFFECTS!

The only issue some seemingly are concerned about is the esthetics of how those newly-proposed mini-microwave towers (aka “thimble” towers [4]) will look every so many feet when placed on city streets and landscapes.  One particular city which has taken note, and much to their credit, is Tampa, Florida.

According to Richard Danielson of the Tampa Bay Times,

TAMPA — The City Council on Thursday moved ahead with proposals to minimize the visual clutter created on city streets by the next generation of wireless antennas, many as small as a pizza box, but some as big as a family-sized refrigerator. [CJF emphasis]

“There’s a lot of people who don’t understand what this means (for) the right of way near their homes,” council member Mike Suarez said. “There are going to be some very significant changes to the way your neighborhood looks based on this particular ordinance.”

Among the restrictions on the city: If a city pole cannot accommodate one of the new antennas, the city has to replace the pole at its cost. The city has to allow the installation of new poles. The city cannot impose a distance separation between the new antennas and related equipment. The city cannot prohibit the antennas, except in very limited areas.

That’s because the antennas tend to be smaller, but wireless companies need a lot more of them to create good networks. So instead of big cell towers up to 250 feet tall, the industry is expected to turn to antennas mounted on many more existing or new utility poles. [which means they can be placed right outside your front door or bedroom window blasting 5G microwaves into you, your household and ambient environment, with no health safety aspects or provisions considered, nor implemented!]

What I find extremely troubling about the entire ‘smart’ meme issues includes:

1 – Consumers have become totally enthralled and even addicted to their smart gadgets, which are harming their health from microwave radiation. What don’t you folks get?  You’ve been sold a bill of goods—just like the tobacco industry promoted cigarettes even to the point of having medical doctors advertising them [1]—and, unknowingly and unwittingly,  have become a contributing part of the EMF problem for relying upon, using and clamoring for faster Wi-Fi plus other harmful electromagnetic frequency gadgets.

2 – Consumers are lax in realizing that giving and/or subjecting microwave tech appliances and gadgets to children are harming them, especially their developmental capacities since microwaves adversely affect kids’ smaller bodies, especially their brains!

Sources: here and here

3 – Consumers don’t recognize nor realize that anything “smart” is part of the ultimate United Nations’ goal of a total global surveillance society [2, 3]. Welcome to a worldwide gulag!

It’s still not too late to rethink the microwave problems, especially about health issues, that deliberately have been kept from consumers similar to what was done about asbestos, tobacco and cigarette use, antibiotics and the current opioid drug problems, GMO ‘phoods’ not being labeled and literally forced down our throats without consumers knowing nor having a choice via truth in advertising labels, and the infamous clandestine skullduggery that brought it all about as so ‘eloquently’ stated by the late David Rockefeller:

We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march toward a world government. . . .  The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries. (source) [CJF emphasis]

Readers will note the source for that now-infamous Rockefeller statement made at the 1991 Bilderberg meeting in Baden, Germany, is a video, which conveniently has been sanitized from the Internet.

The collusion on the part of the U.S. media and others is confirmed.  Whom will consumers believe?  Need I say any more?

6 Comments on "Smart Meters Create A “Honeypot” Of Personal Information To Exploit"

  1. OTG – Off-The-Grid is sounding so much more appealing by the day – but that does necessitate moving out of the major conurbations

  2. Great article, thank You Cathrine! It gets maybe even worse, than what you describe. The constant catastrophes of destruction of peoples homes (due to hurricanes, fires, floods) and goods, create a situation of NO RETURN TO THE OLD SURROUNDINGS. Meaning, people will be FORCED to buy and
    rely on ‘new technology’ which was DESIGNED for the purpose of the (evil?) manufacturers. This is IDENTICAL situation with FOOD, and its GMO replacement. The old good seeds are locked up in deep underground storage paid by the genocidal groups, while what we get on the surface, are SEEDS OF DESTRUCTION (PLEASE read William Engdahl’s book).
    Another example of your smart meters ‘application’: every computer breaks. The newest one I got, cuts off the network connection as soon I’m leaving the room!!!?? And that with NO OBVIOUS wi-fi!!! With GEONEGINEERING driving the last stage of all these ‘changes’ we are all directed towards the ‘last stage’ of obedience, 5G..
    There is one thing I do not agree with you, namely :” First and foremost, no health and environmental impact studies have been performed on the generational (“G”) microwave platforms that have been
    rolled out. ”
    Please check PubMed entries:
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=microwave+radiation
    There are 17536 entries, and EACH AND ONE OF THEM, describes what microwaves do and what they can be used for, in particular in terms of interactions with biological matter (i.e. our bodies). It’s a deep irony, people can be so BLIND, refusing to see the forest for the trees..

  3. It looks like the DELIBERATE DESTRUCTION of human possessions and goods, via all the fires, floods, etc., might have their goal in getting PREPARED for 5G!!!!
    NEW ‘replacement’ HARDWARE being ‘rolled out’ constantly is effecting our everydays life, in a totally DETRIMENTAL way..
    After mentioning my computer issues, I can LITERALLY HEAR the HAARPED signals being send out around right now!!

  4. Thank You Catherine! It’s very revealing article, with probably way more consequences, than we can imagine. Fires, floods, hurricanes, all installed by the ‘officially totally neglected’ Geoengineering, destroy humans surroundings for GOOD. Its new ‘replacement’ is like the GMO ‘Seeds of Destruction’ (William Engdahl), planned to be ‘implemented’ for a reason.

  5. Of course we’re aware, and, in possession of a powerful legal solution. It is called a Notice Of Liability (NOL) the ramifications of which are inescapable for the perpetrators of the smart meter agenda. To date 5 major utilities were forced to REMOVE the unlawfully installed smart meters, in fact, over 500,000 meters, and at the expense of the liable corporation and the living men and women at the top. The man or woman working for the corporation, is personally liable and destined for complete financial ruin through the NOL process.(you read that right, the men or women responsible for spearheading the smart meter agenda, as well as the corporation are 100% liable.) No escape for them. If they continue this misguided agenda, one at a time they will be financially ruined due to their motive to place corporate profit above the health and welfare of humanity. The world is about to learn a valuable lesson. When the people become one against tyranny the desired result is inevitable. Let the capitalist Soros bed partners come. We are legally locked and loaded. Our process is gracious, spacious and efficacious. No one can escape the results of this process.
    If you are a victim, or potential victim, of these profit scheme vampires pushing the smart meter agenda, or vaccinations, or the unmitigated attempts by filthy money to proliferate 5G technology, or Big Pharma, or Monsanto/ GMO, or any other forced harmful agenda by municipal government or corporate players, you are far more powerful than you know with the ability to protect you and your loved ones by becoming involved at InPowerMovement.com.
    If you are reading this and one who supports the smart meter agenda, or any other unhealthy profit agenda, well, there is a burgeoning, competent team of well trained defenders of the sanctity of life, operating directly under the authority of the Creator of life, who are prepared to begin the financial tsunami against you that you cannot recover from if you choose to place greed above love for humanity. It is not that we don’t love you. It is totally about providing you with a legal, lawful, internationally effective, life changing, necessary, remedial, woodshed experience. You are noticed that you alone are 100% liable for your own financial ruin, and that, WITHOUT REMEDY if you ignore your responsibility to your fellow man!
