Wendy Hoy of Wendy Walks For ES answers a friend's questions about water and electricity meters that emit radiation pollution.

"BC Hydro has joined many forward-thinking utility companies around the world in placing Smart Meters at every house and business everywhere.

"This is a good thing. Support the transition.

"Naysayers point at all the meter readers losing their jobs. So what? Are you a meter reader? So what do you care?

"Naysayers point at all the fires caused by Smart Meters. So what? Lightning causes fires, too, and there's nothing that can be done about that either.

"Naysayers point out that your utility bills will go up with Smart Meters. Guess what? Your bills will go up without Smart Meters, too. Get used to it.

"Naysayers point out that a Smart Meter emits 14,000 cancer-causing radio frequency bursts every day - a burst every 6 seconds - and that a block of 20 houses emits as much as 10,000 times more radiation than a cell phone. So what? The sun emits even more radiation than that, so are they going to turn off the sun?

"Naysayers point out that Smart Meters invade your privacy. If you actually think you have privacy now, the government, your hairdresser, your neighbours, and your boss would all have a laugh over that one!

"Support Smart Meters. Because it won't make any difference if you don't.

"This is General Disorder for Vulture Guard. Carrion, Canada."

This is another in a series of "Hitler Rants" parodies that take this scene from the movie "Downfall" (Der Untergang) and redo the subtitles. This one deals with the Smart Meter issue . . .



"Hitler has met his match with another dunderheaded policy implemented by the BC Liberal Government. Will it never end?

"BC Hydro is careening on ahead with their smart meter program in spite of the objections of numerous BC homeowners. The BC Clean Air Act allows for the initiative continue without the watchful oversight of the BC Utilities Commission. The case is before the BC Information and Privacy Commissioner, but BC Hydro must forge on without waiting for the outcome of that review. Another initiative courtesy of the BC Liberal Government.

"In British Columbia, call Corix Utilities today and tell them you don't want their "Smart" meter: 1-888-495-2767

Say hello to Elvis from "Upper Graceland" and his musical friend "Anna Log"meter. Together they are opposing Smart Meters.  Join Anna as she does the "Dumb Meter" dance and have fun singing along with her on the "Dumb Meter" song. Then help Elvis and Anna "pull the plug on Smart Meters!"

Dumb Meter Song  (To the tune of "Hound Dog") 

You ain't nothin' but a Dumb Meter;
You got me cryin' all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a Dumb Meter;
You got me cryin' all the time.
Well, you ain't never been smart
And you ain't no meter of mine!

They said you was high-tech
But your pulses make me fry.
They said you was high-tech
But your pulses make me fry.
Well, you ain't never saved me money
'Cuz your promises are nothin' but a lie.

They said you was clean and green
But you're just a ball o' slime.
They said you was clean and green
But you're just a ball o' slime.
Well, you ain't never been natural-
Now you're breakin' my heart and that's a crime.

You ain't nothin' but a Dumb Meter;
Your eyes are spyin' all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a Dumb Meter;
Your eyes are spyin' all the time.
Well, you ain't never seen the truth
Now your cheatin' ways have gone and made you blind.

They said you was high-tech
But your pulses make me fry.
They said you was high-tech
But your pulses make me fry.
Well, you ain't never saved me money
And your promises are nothin' but a lie.

You ain't nothin' but a Dumb Meter;
You got me cryin' all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a Dumb Meter;
You got me cryin' all the time.
Well, you ain't never been smart
And you ain't no meter of mine!

" . . . But as long as we own all the media too,
What's really happening does not concern you.
So just go on watching your plasma TV,
And the world will be run by the ones you can't see . . .

Serge-Andre is active for your health. Hydro-Quebec wants to impose the new Smart Meters to every household in the province. These meters add even more microwaves to your environment. Microwaves are potentially harmful for your health in the long term and even cause health problems to some people from the minute they are exposed. Smart meters? Not without our consent!

"If somebody came up with a device that could (a) end world hunger, (b) forestall nuclear war for all time and (c) erase the cast of Jersey Shore from the memory of the man - I doubt that person would get the kind of "news" coverage the Apple corporation gets anytime it has a hiccup.

"From Australia to Alaska, whenever Apple has got a new product, an upgrade - in other words a re-jigged version of something it's already sold under equipped in the tens, if not hundreds of millions - every news outlet in the world: magazines, online, blogs, network news, the twitter gallery, halts to note the latest trinket from the most profitable corporation on the face of the Earth.

"It started with iPod, which was a tinkering with existing technology to produce, essentially, just a small jukebox tied to a couple of peanuts serving as headphones. Not a world-changing moment, not an advance in civilization like the Renaissance, or the invention of the wheel . . .
