Informative but lacking info on meters other than Electric.


I purchased the DVD out of concerns for meters which are being installed in my area. In MY case the meters are for gas and water. So far, I am questioning our electric meters.
The movie deals with electric meters and there is only casual mention of possible problems related to gas or water meters.
There seems to be some compelling concerns about "remote wireless read" meters and signals they emit and how frequently these signals are emitted. While I understand the benefits of not having a person enter a property to read a meter each month, I most certainly question and have concerns with meters that have continuous "real time" monitoring of energy usage. Readings need only be taken monthly for proper billing purposes. Our old water meter operated on such a principal where a truck visited the neighborhood each month and the readings were wirelessly collected at that time. The new meters are said to transmit signals in "real time" to an antenna several miles away which sends the data in real time, to the utility.
The DVD offers a decent amount of information about the hazards and problems with such meters but offers little as to how one can accurately identify the meters they have and how often it transmits data etc. It also doesnt offer real solutions as to what recourse a person has if they have offending meters on their property. It makes no real mention of meters for gas and water in the movie although they are mentioned on the back cover of the DVD. I would like to see more information on these meters as well and how to identify their operating characteristics.
Basically we need MORE info.

The water meter inject florides. The gas meter releases psychotropics. The electric meter transmits your WiFi to the NSA. Welcome to the New World Order!

How can a water meter "inject" ANYTHING?
It has no storage or supply capacity. Likewise for a gas meter. The actual part of the device that does the "metering" is no different than any other meter of its type. It is the "dial" that reads the usage and transmits the data that is the problem.
The"dial" is simply installed on a meter which is coupled magnetically. A standard dial which does not transmit anything can be installed on the same meter.

ELECTRIC is different. It is a completely different kind if meter and is powered by the incoming line current. It can interact with certain "smart" appliances in your home and monitor the usage of these appliances.

Gas and water meters dont do that. Nevertheless they CAN transmit water or gas usage in "Real Time" and emit a signal for more than necessary for billing purposes.
YES this is becoming a "New world Order" problem. It has also been shown to be a health problem to some people. The movie explains this.

If people think that a simple meter cant be that much of a problem, remember your neighbors have them too and it is possible that each utility may have "smart" meters too. There is a cumulative effect of microwave frequency radiation and it shouldn't be dismissed or ignored.

I saw this on Amazon or Hulu streaming for free, cannot remember.
I do recall that it was concerned with several issues. The safety of
the technology, and then privacy and security as well as control over
appliances in your house. I did not think it was very good, but it
did have some good information, just not presented really well.
