Dear Mr. Walker,
The Dangers of Wireless Technology, Especially Smart Meters in MeshedGrid Networks
I was surprised and alarmed to learn that Fortis BC (‘Fortis’) intends to remove
my perfectly safe, effective, reliable, robust, inexpensive analogue meter and
replace it with a largely-plastic, outrageously expensive, digital meter that
contains two unauthorized, untested, unproven, fire-prone pulsed microwavespewing radio transmitter, receiver and antennae circuits! I became even more
alarmed once I researched what Fortis is planning to do and realized that my life
and that of my family would be jeopardized - forever - were we forced to live in a
“meshed-grid network” community. Given what I consider is the stealthy, artful
and disingenuous manner which Fortis is attempting to mislead and deceive the
general public into believing that wireless smart meters in meshed-grid networks
are totally safe and pose no threat whatsoever to their health, general well-being,
personal privacy, safety and security, I am hereby challenging Fortis, here and
now, i.e., either you, personally, or any of your senior executives or Dr. William
Bailey of Exponent U.S. to debate with me – publicly, with the media in
attendance – this whole subject matter. The timing and location of the debate I’ll
leave to your discretion; my only stipulation is that the venue must be large
enough to accommodate at least several hundred members of the general public
as well as representatives from both print and broadcast media.
I am a retired Canadian Armed Forces captain who spent 22 of my 26+ years in
the military in the arcane fields of Electronic Warfare (EW) and Signals
Intelligence (SIGINT). Highlights of my relevant experience include a two year
stint in Canada’s National Defence Headquarters, Ottawa, in the Directorate of
Electronic Warfare and, prior to that, two years as the Executive Officer (2-i/c)
and Operations Officer of one of Canada’s largest intelligence-gathering
stations. In the latter case, I directly employed some 200-odd specially-trained
radio operators and technicians. Suffice it to say, wireless radio communications
were my bread and butter for more than 22 years; hence I know far better than
most how vulnerable any wireless radio system is and how easily they can be
interfered with, jammed, defeated and/or literally destroyed. Operationally, I’ve
conducted radio warfare and electronic warfare operations both at sea, onboard
Canadian warships, and in the field with NATO army units in Germany. I’ve also
completed a major NATO army EW officers’ course in Anzio, Italy. Because of
the strategic sensitivity of my work (I had Top Secret-Codeword security
clearance), I was formally taught about electromagnetic radiation (EMR) and how
dangerous/harmful it can be.
From my own global research over the past 2-1/2 years I am convinced that the
already-large and rapidly-growing number of independent world-class scientists
from every corner of the globe are correct in saying that science is running
amuck, and governments everywhere are guilty of gross malfeasance for not
protecting the public, i.e., governments should insist that new technologies, such
as Fortis’ proposed wireless smart meters in meshed-grid networks, are first
subjected to science-based testing - by independent scientists having no
connection to industry – the results of which must prove conclusively that the
technology poses no threat to the health and general well-being of the public and
all other life forms. Should BCUC approve Fortis’ application to roll-out their
smart meters, the immediate “short-term” winners clearly would be Fortis, its
shareholders, governments and the other wireless-related companies who have
colluded with you. Sadly, the losers would be the public – the poor, innocent,
ignorant, helpless and trusting public. Ultimately, society will prove to be the
biggest loser, for the inevitable health care costs – especially for future
generations - will surely bankrupt not just British Columbia but, I suspect, the
whole of Canada. History will judge you harshly, Mr. Walker, you and your
company, and all of the other ‘players’ who along with you are forcing this evil,
despicably-cruel unprecedented money-driven experiment on decent Canadians
– most of whom, sadly, still naively think Canada is a democracy. I’m eagerly
looking forward to debating this whole subject matter with you or any one of your
senior executives or with Dr. William Bailey of Exponent U.S. The unvarnished
truth must come out! Please advise me of the scheduling details and of the name
of the person with whom I’ll be debating at your earliest convenience. Thank
you.
Yours truly,
Jerry Flynn

Smart Meters – What Utilities Don’t Tell You
·
Wireless smart meters in meshed-grid networks have never been tested and
proven to be safe in an actual, real-life, densely populated residential community
in any country of the world;
·
The chronic, low-level non-thermal or biological effects of wireless pulsed
microwave radiation has never been proven – in independent,sciencebased studies - to be safe to humans and other life forms in any country in the
world;
·
No scientist on Earth yet knows what - if any – level of chronic, low-level, nonthermal, pulsed microwave radiation is safe for humans and other life forms;
·
Electric utilities are not conducting base-line studies to first determine what
ambient levels of EMR already exist in communities before they install meshedgrid networks – meaning they have no concern for how much EMR might already
be burdening a community. Yet, independent, world-class scientists have said
that ambient levels of EMR on Planet Earth have increased 100-200-million times
in the past century, and more than 1,000,000 times in just the past decade, due
to the ongoing widespread proliferation of wireless technology such as: Wi-Fi
routers, cell phones, cell phone towers, smart phones, cordless phones, laptop
and tablet computers, baby monitors, AM and FM radio, satellite TV and radio,
GPS satellites, military and police radars, XBox, PlayStation and Nintendo Wii U
video games, Wi-Fi zones (restaurants, towns, cities, buses, trains, airplanes),
Wi-Max zones, TETRA radio, to name just a few.
·
In each community, whatever incalculable amount of EMR is produced from
a meshed-grid network, that amount must then be added to the ambient level of
toxic radiation already in the community from the plethora of other wireless
devices, examples of which are mentioned above.
·
Inside every smart meter are two (2) radio transmitter, receiver and antenna
circuits: one being the LAN (Local Area Network), which operates on 900 MHz
and radiates for a distance of 3 Km; the other being the "ZigBee," which operates
on 2.4 GHz - the same frequency on which microwave ovens operate!
·
The ZigBee's sole function is to control what utilities call the “HAN” (Home Area
Network) which they envisage will comprise up to 15-or-so 'smart' appliances per
home.
·
Each 'Smart' appliance has its own pulsed microwave radio transmitter,
receiver and antenna circuit that also operates on the microwave oven frequency
of 2.4 GHz! (This means that inside each home will be 15-or-so transmitters, all
of which will irradiating the occupants 24/7/365 – in perpetuity - with pulsed
microwave radiation on the microwave oven frequency of 2.4GHz!)
·
Electric utilities envisage meshed-grid networked communities ranging in
size from 500 to 5,000 homes.
·
Using the above figures then, even in the smallest meshed-grid network
community of just 500 homes, the residents will suddenly find themselves
subjected to microwave radiation from:
v 500 LAN transmitters - all pulsing virtually non-stop 24/7/365 in perpetuity and
radiating for 3 Km (i.e., every home’s LAN transmitter will radiate and be radiated
by every other home’s LAN in the entire community)!
v 500 Zigbee transmitters (one inside each Smart Meter) each radiating for a radius
of 250 feet and emitting microwave pulses periodically throughout the
day 24/7/365 in perpetuity - on the microwave oven frequency of 2.4 GHz!
v 7,500 (appliance) ZigBee-compatible transmitter, receiver and antenna circuits
(i.e., 500 homes each with 15 smart appliances) - all emitting pulsed microwave
radiation periodically throughout the day 24/7/365 in perpetuity - on
the microwave oven frequencyof 2.4 GHz!
v Every meshed-grid network must have a Collector Meter, whose job it is to
relay all traffic - in both directions - originated by the utility and, in this case, 500
homes. Collector's can have either three (3) or eight (8) microwave transmitter,
receiver and antennae circuits depending on the utility’s choice of meters.
Regardless of whichever meter is used, it will have a WWAN (Wireless Wide
Area Network) transmitter, receiver and antenna circuit which operates a dualband duplex radio circuit the frequencies of which are unique to the Collector and
the utility to facilitate the relay – in both directions - of all communications
between the utility and all home LANs.
v Given the above, it can be seen that even the smallest community of just 500
homes will have a total of 8,503 or 8,508 (depending on the choice of Collector
meter employed) transmitter, receiver and antenna circuits, of which a
staggering 8,001 will emit pulsed, low-level, non-thermal microwave radiation on
the microwave oven frequency of 2.4 GHz!
v Customers need to note that, unlike many of the other wireless devices in our
environments today, smart meter transmitters cannot be turned off or unplugged
by the customer – they’ll remain active, emitting toxic pulsed microwave radiation
24/7/365 in perpetuity!
v Customers also need to note that smart meters offer not one single meaningful
advantage for the average home owner – not one! On the contrary, the electric
utility is about to invade the privacy of your home, to the extent they will now
know heretofore personal and private details about the human activity going on in
your home – such as: what electric/electronic devices are turned on, for how long
they are on, and when they are turned off, what channel of TV you’re watching,
etc. None of this is at all necessary and should not be acceptable in a democratic
society.
v Home owners also need to know that as people become better educated about
the dangers of wireless technology, communities and homes having smart
meters installed will see their property resale values drop precipitously!
v Home owners should also note that insurance companies will not insure
companies against health-related lawsuits attributed to the effects of chronic,
low-level, non thermal effects of microwave / radio frequency radiation.
v And lastly, jurisdictions all over the world continue to report inexplicable fires
allegedly caused by newly-installed smart meters, yet not once has any electric
utility, anywhere, admitted culpability or accepted financial responsibility for
damages done to electric appliances that sustained electrical damages within the
home, or to homes that literally burnt to the ground shortly after smart meters
were installed.
·
Once a person understands the basics of how meshed-grid networks work and
realizes the staggering amount of additional toxic radiation they’ll emit, they will
then understand why electric utilities everywhere are going to such pains to try to
keep them, the public, ignorant. But once we allow a Smart Meter to be attached
to our homes, it will be too late! Because electric utilities are our only supplier of
electricity, it will be virtually impossible for homeowners to have Smart Meters
removed!
·
But there's more. In addition to the enormous, if not incalculable, amount of
EMR that will result from the above, for a microwave radio-based system to
function in a meshed-grid network (microwave emissions being line-of-sight),
literally dozens to conceivably a hundred or more relays will be required: from
house LAN - to house LAN - to house LAN - to house LAN ... and so on on each and every transmission, in both directions - before any transmission can
successfully reach its destination! Nowhere on any electric utility website is this
enormous, inescapable amount of “additional or secondary” EMR mentioned.
·
And still more. It is doubtful that electric utilities understand - or care - about all
the "dirty" electricity” that will piggy-back along with any meshed-grid network. All
one has to do is Google: "Dirty Electricity" to understand what this means. This is
a far more serious problem than most people – and probably electric utilities
themselves - realize, but it is one that can have very serious consequences for all
of us human-and-other-living “guinea pigs” who are compelled to live in meshedgrid networked communities.
·
And finally, electric utilities make no mention of what are called Reflection "hot
spots" which can and do occur in various rooms of most if not all homes caused
by the EMR reflecting off surfaces such as stainless steel appliances, granite
countertops, tiled floors, etc. This too scientists say is another significant concern
for the public for it creates areas within a home which are even more dangerous
than the others. This too adds significantly to the electro-pollution that will result
in meshed-grid network communities.
In conclusion, unless governments make electric utilities stop this wireless
madness, there can be little doubt that history will record those complicit
governments as having committed the most inconceivably cruel, evil, criminal
technological experiment on an innocent, ignorant, trusting and helpless public in
human history. The shame of it is, there are perfectly safe, proven technologies
available today that are far faster, far more secure and emit no radiation
whatsoever, i.e., fiber optic and coaxial cable being but two examples.
