How can I shield my Smart meter?

A Smart meter is a radiofrequency (RF) emitting device that the utility company has installed on your gas or electric meter. The RF signal emitted transmits information back to the utility company about your gas or electric usage. The signal is intermittent, but operates 24/7. Usually, the utility company will not permit you to completely block this transmission. However, you can shield your body and your living space to minimize the amount of RF exposure you receive.

[typoonblade]

does wrapping the meter with aluminum foil help?

[EvadingGrid]

does wrapping the meter with aluminum foil help?

NO

The utility company will not allow it, and there are safety issues such as risk of fire...

[typoonblade]

can i contact them and tell them to remove it? if they say no, would threatening to sue them help?

[Kilika]

You can tell the power company to come take their meter and electrical service off your property. How's that?

There is no law that says you have to have electric service. Yet.

It's amazing how people want the world's shiny toys, but get mad when the world tells them they have to bend over first. You want to play their game, but refuse to go by their rules? Typical.

For what it's worth, California has whole towns that oppose those meters and have fought them in court. Do some research.

[bento]

I don't think anyone wants these "shiny toys"............. And by playing their game do you friggen mean we have to bend over for their monopoly? So you have a choice get power or move out because most municipalities will condemn you if you do not have proper sanitation, meaning a water pump for the toilet.

[jerryweaver]

I do high end Metalwork for a living and some of my clients have had their bedroom walls insulated with thin copper or aluminum sheets prior to the final plaster drywall. Just remember to run a ground wire the metal sheets.

There is a huge difference in my sleep patterns when I'm away from the grid.

Uh, your toilet operates by gravity! No pump is needed. You don't need electricity to operate a toilet! Man, that's scary you don't know that and here you are complaining about smart meters! How ironic.

And who says you would have to move? There is no municiple law that I know of that requires a residence to have electric service from a power utility.

And yes, people are expected to play by the electric utility's rules if they want their electric service. Don't like the product, don't buy it! Until the company changes, complain and protest and maybe the company will cave to the pressure. I doubt it because it's all part of the overall digital grid.

[bento]

They have already done it to people. I know how toilets work but they will still condemn your property. They did it to a guy in Indiana, it was posted her a few years ago. yep that works so well they will cave to pressure. Ok you first buddy. But you probably just feel better by blaming the victims.

Research what you can do, but get it off your house asap for multiple reasons:

1)  It is an INNATE electrical hazard, people that have had these have had all of their appliances in their homes fried from surges generated by it (has something to do with digital noise that it dumps on the power line--surges are form of line noise).  People have had their homes catch on fire even.  If that "smart" meter damages your home--your electric company will tell you to go f*ck yourself and you will be left holding the bag.

2)  It violates your 4th amendment rights because it violates the security of the person, and your effects (your appliances) via unauthorized digital metadata collection of smart grid enabled appliances that they will be forcing people to buy.  The govt. has already put in motion forced obsolescence of non "smart" meter complaint appliances.  A "smart" meter is de facto unconstitutional--and this imo, is the strongest point of defense that anyone can use.  Your data is sent to military industrial complex corporations like IBM, Lockheed, besides just your power company.

3)  It is a flat out violation of your freedom of choice.  If smart meters are so great, then why not let the court of public opinion (in this case, the court of public FACT) decide?  The reason they want them mandatory is because they are a complete ponzi scheme type scam for the energy sector just like the "bailouts" and derivatives fraud was for the financial sector.  It is designed to drive you into the f*cking ground with austerity (via dynamically being able to make your electric bill skyrocket by charging you assrape prices for using electricity when it is most convenient for most people).

4)  The agenda with these is to eventually micromanage the shit out of your energy usage, and apply dictatorial feedback loops to punish you for not complying with New World Order energy consumption limitations which will be increasingly restrictive until it forces you (via austerity) to get out of your house and live in a bullshit New World order "zero carbon" 9x9x9 shack.

i just told my idiot dad about it, and he said that if we remove it, and replace it with the old analog meter, the electric company will charge and extra $80 per month. he even showed me the letter the electric company sent us.

i told him about the hazards of smart meters, and he isnt listening. WTF should i do. everyone in my family is fvcking asleep.

[bento]

That is called extortion, but I guess it is government sanctioned so good luck fighting this. Your bringing this to everyone's attention before they fully implement, will hurt their plans more then anything else is my guess.

Holy f**king shit.  Virtually no one could afford to pay an extra 80 bucks a month to their electric bill in this bullshit mfg'd depression we're in.  That's a dastardly way of effectively making it mandatory.

Remember also that this is a global agenda, those meters are already mandatory in the Netherlands and perhaps even the UK by now.  Mandatory as in if you refuse one there, you will be arrested and go to jail.  I know this for a fact because I had a friend that lived in Holland.

The thing is, if enough people realized how evil this agenda really is and that IN NO WAY benefits the general public, there would be massive backlash and outright REJECTION of this bullshit to the max.  They have and are pushing massive propaganda and off the charts demonization and tar and feathering of anyone who is against these meters--they're making anyone who opposes them to appear as complete nutjobs.  In fact, I fully expect them to eventually stage a false flag the likes of the Aurora/Sikh shootings and have a fake bio made up for the patsy to make him be rabidly against smart meters.  This will make the public truly think that anyone is against them is a mass murdering pyschopath like patsy James Holmes.  Remember that they already crafted a fake bio for the Norway false flag Breivik patsy writing a fake history for him saying he didn't believe man made global warming (IIRC).  These people are SICK F*CKS who know how to manipulate and psyop billions of people worldwide, but their bullshit is completely exposed by people who truly dig into the facts and learn how they use psych warfare against the dumbed down public.

This post I made here is absolutely critical to give you enough incentive to fight this tooth and nail, anyone who reads this would be completely freaked the f*ck out and would fight to the death against this incredibly fascist tyrannical problem-reaction-solution based bullshit designed to decimate the standard of living of 99% of the population:

Your "idiot dad"? How nice of you. 

Sounds to me like you need to grow up!

Really? You're going to threaten violence over this? You want electric service from the power company, but you don't want to use their product as presented? It's not Burger King! 

Quit whining and actually do some research on smart meter resisters. California has whole groups that oppose them and have went to court over this.

so what they are doing is illegal?

No, of course not! What they are doing is offering new equipment (replace analog meters with digital meters). Now what can be done with that new equipment is a problem obviously.

I don't see people making a big stink about the new smart phones, which are FAR worse than any power meter.

The problem is that people insist on electricity and the PTB know it. They know people won't tell the power companies to go away. If the public in mass were to protest those meters, THEN maybe something might change. Personally, I don't think there is any amount of complaining you can do to change this though, as I believe it's tied to end time events and it will happen whether people like it or not.

[Effie Trinket]

No, of course not! What they are doing is offering new equipment (replace analog meters with digital meters). Now what can be done with that new equipment is a problem obviously.

There is no legitimate reason for their replacement.  It is 100% to enslave the general public and enforce austerity.

I don't see people making a big stink about the new smart phones, which are FAR worse than any power meter.

People don't need smart phones, or even cell phones for that matter.  OTOH, good luck trying to figure out how to keep food refrigerated at around 40 degrees F, or below freezing at around 20 degrees without electricity indefinitely.  I have never owned a cell phone or smart phone in my entire life and I will never own one, and I do not consider it an inconvenience whatsoever, I consider it very empowering because it is one LESS way that I can be monitored in their illegal surveillance grid.

The problem is that people insist on electricity and the PTB know it. They know people won't tell the power companies to go away.

Damn right people do, we are entitled to it, people built this f*cking country with blood sweat and tears, people are entitled to the fruits of their own labor.  Nikola Tesla intended the entire world to have access to unlimited and free energy forever--of course elite shitbag JP Morgan put and end to that.  We have the right to demand that we get it ON OUR TERMS (i.e. leave things the hell alone the way they have been for 50+ years).

Personally, I don't think there is any amount of complaining you can do to change this though, as I believe it's tied to end time events and it will happen whether people like it or not.

Then we all might as well commit suicide because there's no point in fighting since there will never be enough people to fight along with us to matter.

[Kilika]

Enslavement is their intent. I agree. They want people in bondage to the system.

With the number of people buying them, you'd think the public can't live without a smart phone now. And for all tense and purposes, they can't because society is based on those things and now social media has made mobile devices even worse.

Like a cellphone, your not entitled to electricty! That is a convience that people pay extra for. And if you cannot survive without electrcity, then you better get educated and learn. Society or industry doesn't owe you power in your home. Start by learning how to start a fire and cook, and get safe drinking water, regardless of what society has to offer. THEN you'd be empowered!

No, you are not entitled to electricity! That's absurd. It's a product like any other product. You get what you pay for. There is no law that requires people have electricity available to them. Your living in lala land!


Then we all might as well commit suicide because there's no point in fighting since there will never be enough people to fight along with us to matter.


Your absolutely correct, we aren't to fight the world, seeing prophecy says what it does, because somebody will be doing the fighting for us in due time. Those of us that believe and have hope anyway. I assure you, that the injustices of the world will be addressed in due time! The thugs of the world will receive their due reward.

Are we entitled to exhale carbon dioxide without paying a tax for it?  But back onto electricity--no power company has the right to extort you for an extra $80 per month as a punishment for refusing to allow them to violate your Constitutionally protected right to privacy (4th amendment).  The real definition of privacy being "you are not allowed to know what appliances I use in my home, when I use them, nor how long I use them for".  That is illegal.  All they are entitled to get is bulk data on power useage in kilowatt hours per month, no micromanaging bullshit.

Also, just because someone is selling a product or a service does not mean they get to run scams on you and extort you.

The notion of people not having electricity available is antithetical to humans freedom of choice, and falls in line with "all technological advancement is evil, and/or unnecessary".

so, i should just tell them to fvck off and if they charge me an extra 80 dollars, should i sue them for extortion?

[typoonblade]

here is what happened to me (see link). i made mistake. the 80 dollars is just a one time charge, not every month.

its 10 dollars extra every month. got those mixed up. idiot me. -____-

People can't hear because of the self righteous smug arrogance that is being projected. Electric power is a natural monopoly, our tax dollars were used to create it and it is being handed over to the bankers. Your solution is to live like the Amish because god will fix it. Sorry if people don't like your solution, if you like it, then you do it. People have a right and a duty to fight injustices. Why don't you go work for the government religious crises team, go to the FEMA camps it is gods will and he will save you.

Look at this:

http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1970139/pg1
"I know this is long...but this is a good story. Everyone in America should be worried over just how far DHS is reaching into our lives.

On June 16, 2012, some thug from Oncor power rattled me out of bed by pounding on my front door. He woke me up, shoved a door hanger in my face that read, “We’ve just installed a smart meter on your home”, and told me I needed to open my gate to let him into my back yard.

Having just jumped out of bed I said, “Hold on, let me get dressed. I will talk to you in a minute.” I threw on some clothing and went outside to confront the big burly intimidating dude sporting a hard hat.

I explained that I did not want a smart meter installed on my home for two reasons. One, I am EMF sensitive. Two, I feel that electronic surveillance by Oncore/TXU was a violation of my fourth amendment rights. He responded, “Well, If you do not let us into your yard, we will turn your power off.” I replied, “Go ahead, and do it.”

We exchanged words and he threatened to call the police on me because I WAS HARASSING HIM! Really? At that point, I told him to get off my property, went back into my house and locked the door.

Immediately, I printed out a sign that read, “We refuse to allow you to install a smart meter on our premises. We object to this because of privacy and health issues,” signed and dated it then duct taped it to my existing power meter. I took photos of my meter and the notice that I posted.

For the next 2 days, I was on the phone calling my government representatives. What I discovered is there were two bills in congress, which both contain smart meter language.

One was CISPA the internet security bill that allows DoE to evaluate smart meters for energy efficiency. It also allows DHS to monitor them for abnormal power usage that may indicate illegal activity. The second bill was HR 3674 sponsored by Dan Lungren of CA.

Over the next few months, I watched with interest as Texans debated smart meters. Currently, the Texas state legislature is considering an opt-out program for the smart meters.

I also received a personal letter from Senator Jane Nelson that states, “It is very likely that this issue will be revisited by the next Legislature. Please know I will keep your concerns firmly in mind during our discussions.”

Fast forward to today.

I walked around the side of my house to get something out of the shed and was horrified to discover that sometime in the past few days a smart meter was installed was on my house!

Not only did they install a smart meter but they scaled a 6-foot solid wood fence and busted the top of the fence into pieces in their effort to gain illegal access to my property. (Of course, I have pictures and videos of the damage)

I phoned the police who explained to me that since I have a 6 - foot fence and a locked gate with no public access, the Oncor people were in total violation of criminal trespass. Tomorrow I will be on the phone with everyone including the Texas State Attorney General to voice my complaints.

All that being said, I feel like I have been raped! I feel totally violated and not safe in my own home! I denied access to these people months ago, yet they find a way to scale my fence like Seal Team 6 going after Bin Laden and slip away without being noticed only to leave a path of destruction in their wake.

Actually I’m glad I did not catch them trespassing. If I did, you would probably be hearing some trumped up version of this story on the evening news.

And I don’t like handcuffs or orange jumpsuits. I'm mad as hell and really upset!!!

Anyone else have a smart meter story to share?"
_____________

Do what I did after my land lady installed a smart meter on her property and I have to live with it...after making us chronic fatigued and affecting both of our healths, unfortunately she is asleep and think whatever they say is safe then do it...I am also very EMF sensitive and this was literally driving me crazy, including the wireless access.

I bought earthcalm products from this store, it has really helped me especially the home system that protects you from smart meters, emf, microwave radiation, wireless and cell towers,  www.trianglehealingproducts.com%2Fshop%2Fbrand2.asp%3FstoreID%3D332EF5F0B0334C5BBF194DCC24E96119%26alpha%3De%26brand%3Dearthcalm%26brand_id%3D133524%26private_brand%3Dtrue

Not only am I sleeping better, but also now have energy and not feeling so crappy all the time, bought a pendent that I wear outside to protect me from emf and also a usb to protect me from the wireless. It can make you really sick and irritated emfs.

"Hi OP! I'm in N. Calif. and I refused a smart meter from PGE. We have a locked gate at our driveway and I refused to open it when the installer called from the gate asking for entrance. He was a little irked when I told him No. Now I have to pay a one time fee of 75 dollars and ten dollars a month but I feel its worth it to keep my old meter.

That's crazy, OP.
I don't have much of a story, but my Dad feels the same about the new meters as you do. He had his own issues with the people trying to install one. They came to my parents house three times trying to install. My dad finally got a hold of someone, I'm not sure who excatly, and said he did not want the new meter.
He was given a sticker to put on his old meter and has been left alone... minus the extra 70 dollars a month it now costs him to be an Opt-Out customer. Rediculous.

Hm... Or maybe it's just one time fee as MercyMe said... ha. Sorry, but either way, it seems stupid to be made to pay anything to be allowed to refuse something.

Disable it.

Dismantle it.

Get a back-up generator until they replace it with an old magnetic meter.

Or go hire an electrician to do it.

I refused a smart meter on my old property as well as on my new one.

Total violation of the 4th Amendment.

[Effie Trinket]

Lord have mercy!   Some people just don't get it. No wonder you can't hear anything, as your too busy whining about rights that have NOTHING to do with electric service.

You deserve to live in one of those "carbon free trailers" that the Rothschilds want everyone to live in, with no more electricity than to run three 60 watt lightbulbs maximum (180 watts, vs the 1,875 watts available from a normal 15 amp, 120v AC circuit).

Extort? You think you're being extorted? Call the cops and see what they tell you! Just because you don't like the deal they are offering that doesn't mean it's extortion. That's silly.

So they can make a $200.00 a month electric bill, a $3,000.00 per month bill just because "they're selling a product", and that's not extortion?  Mmkay.  Good luck even being able to afford a $50.00 per month electric bill increase over what you've been paying the last year or 2 with the cascading inflation that everyone's being decimated into the ground with.

The one problem is that people are not entitled to electricity, period. Don't like the company selling the electric? Don't get their service.

All companies will be forced to have the same level of tyranny, so there won't be anyone else to go to, duh.  People are entitled to be able to PAY for a service that they've always been able to afford in the past for the last several decades without prices unreasonably being inflated to the point where they can no longer afford the service.  Just because I'm able to afford $4.00 for a gallon of gas (which is unjustified and insane) doesn't mean that because I can afford that, that the elite should suddenly make gas cost $15.00 a gallon so they can rip me off more.  I guess we could all stop driving right?  Who needs a God damned car when we could get by perfectly fine with a horse and buggy!

I think somebody in this thread needs to grow up and get educated about life.

I think you need to stop pretending that cheerleading austerity measures will magically make you immune to them.

This lady I commend immensely:

Woman pulls gun on smart meter installer

Well, that's one way to prevent someone from installing a smart meter on your property.
