Mike Mitcham and Dr Elizabeth Jones of Stop Smart Meters were stopped from attending the DECC discussion into Smart Meters this week.

The following email was circulated by Mike in response to other emails, which I will not attach, but wanted to share Mike's position with you on the new Smart Grid.

See what you think? I have included Mike's email address should you wish to contact him.

Dear ********

You are quite right in pointing out our name represents an unwillingness to compromise over this pernicious agenda.  It's an argument over what flavour of in-house government spy/control/behaviour modelling box is preferred.  I don't doubt you dislike it anymore than I do but, encouragingly, we have dozens of members after only 4 weeks of existence who share our concerns.  I think you are right on the money about the DECC's reasons for not wanting us there, although of course they themselves were wrong to think we couldn't be constructive - quite the opposite in fact.  The real problem is that we're not trying to construct the same thing they are.

I speak purely on my own behalf when I say this but, from where I'm sitting, the current energy "issue" represents a good example of yet another Hegelian "dialectic", designed to deliver a pre-packaged solution to a manufactured problem that's hyped continually by fear-mongering industry and media mouthpieces to a general public incapable of critical thought.  After repeating the lie enough (Goebells wrote about "the bigger the lie, the more people will believe it"), a "new" solution is rolled out for us all to marvel at which, without any exceptions in my memory at least, involves more centralised control, a further amputation of civil liberties and ever more surveillance - and more money.  I would point to the current roll-out of fingerprinting systems in UK schools as a prima facie example of this.  Who would have thought that dinner money would become such an inconvenience?  Or that our schools would be able to find the ~£27,000 per system required to install it, plus on-going maintenance contracts?  And let's not forget the energy required to power them all!

At the risk of exposing myself as a tin-foil hat-wearing conspiracy theorist (as if I hadn't already!), I would further venture that there are an abundance of free energy devices and designs sitting in the same draws as the plans for Smart Meters.  I have seen some of these technologies in action and read about many more - they work.  Regrettably, the current political, economic, scientific, religious and cultural "order" would rather set itself on fire than have their precious power structures destroyed by us losing our dependence on a centralised, closed-loop energy system like oil and gas.  And this is of course academic anyway if we continue to allow this Fabian agenda to roll into town unchecked and do nothing more than scratch away at the paintwork.  I do wish we could have some grown-up conversations about this, but our highly controlled media obviously can't go anywhere near it.  And so on we go - for now.

I do agree that it is paramount that we continue to raise alarms bells about the wireless component of Smart Meters - if nothing else, it will help to raise public awareness, and possibly give people enough impetus to refuse these dastardly Meters.  However, I don't see the DECC wavering at all on wireless.  It's too important to their plan to cover the planet in RFID - the new IPv6 internet schema is going to open up 340 trillion, trillion, trillion new IP addresses.  Why do we need that many?  Well one reason is that we continue to produce so much cheap, energy-intensive crud, and this protocol will give "them" the ability to track -in the words of IBM's CEO Sam Palmisano- "every object produced, every service, every process and every human".  IBM is a massive driving force behind Smart Grid, and is the owner of Verichip - the human microchipping company which has a patent on the world's first "personal locator device" - an RFID microchip for us humans.

I know I've gone on a bit, but if you'll let me go seemingly off topic for a moment, it's become apparent to me by studying the works of the likes of Johann Fichte and John Taylor Gatto (I associate produced a film recently with Gatto) that the ruling class, via the Government, has been operating a school system for more than 100 years that was imported and directly based on the Prussian system.  This system is purpose-built to confuse our children, render them emotionally and intellectually dependent, make them indifferent, destroy their natural curiosity and hides from sight the true tools of learning.  Instead of being given the means to think critically, based on the classical liberal arts found in the trivium and quadrivium (developed for us over centuries since the days of like Aristotle and Plato), we force-feed our children unrelated subjects in parrot fashion, which change at the ring of a bell, and understandably results in a brand new, young adult with no true self-esteem.  Over the course of 15,000 hours of schooling, we have our mental legs broken to prevent us from gaining the knowledge and understanding to become truly independent of mind, to deal with life, and to prosper.

What does this have to do with Smart Meters?  Well, if our inability to think critically gets preyed upon by well-oilled marketing machines that target our emotions instead of simply meeting a need (advertising 100 years ago simply explained product benefits - nothing more), then we more than often "buy it" because we don't know how to critically evaluate the information - we are powerless to resist.  I may be preaching to the choir here - forgive me - but what this shows is that have deliberately created a society of insecure consumers, who seek to fill a void in their lives with a bigger plasma screen.  Or a bigger car.  Or new "smart" phone!

And so, in the end, the same system which gives us the false "two party" choice in Government (as per Prof Carroll Quigley's Tragedy & Hope) has also created a nation of dependent, emotionally stunted, unthinking, compliant consumers, who gain provisional self-esteem from ownership of crappy gadgets imported from China - and then we are told that WE are responsible for global warming (or is it climate change?).  And the solution to this manufactured problem?

A Smart Meter.

I would suggest that it's not a Smart Meter we need - it's a shift in consciousness, and a realisation that we've been deliberately screwed.

Grist for the mill.
