2/21/2020 Tom Glass passes unexpectedly.

It is with great sadness that we mourn the sudden passing of one of the founding members of Naperville Smart Meter Awareness. Tom Glass was a courageous leader in the fight to preserve our rights in the face of overwhelming odds.

Tom was willing to do more than just complain; he was a tireless activist. He helped to start the Naperville Smart Meter Awareness organization, spoke truth to power at numerous city council meetings and was a candidate for Naperville City Councilman himself.

Please include Tom and his family in your prayers.

From Dr. Johansson's email:

As you know, in these and others papers, we did find very important alterations and effects, in conjunction with such artificial EMFs and corresponding gadgets and equipments, so soon the official funding was reduced, finally to be entirely stopped, and never to occur again. (emphasis added)

A new documentary about wireless health hazards is nearing completion.



"This is a solution oriented doc investigating health risks associated with wireless technology & what the FCC doesn't want you to know! "

10/28/16: ---Federal Lawsuit Update---

The lower federal court denied NSMA its day in court and ruled against our case without even allowing for normal discovery and depositions. As a result, we have filed an appeal with the 7th Circuit Court.

The evidence continues to pile up.

US National Toxicology Program (NTP) - the US Federal Government - has just released findings from a very important study.

They found "...malignant gliomas in the brain and schwannomas of the heart..." as a result of exposure to cell phone frequencies.

CANCER.

Here is the link to the partial findings report.

Remember, cellphones, cordless phones, baby monitors, WIFI and SMART METERS all share this frequency band.

This is why so many people have been warning us that the FCC guidelines are NOT sufficient to protect the public.

FCC guidelines ONLY cover thermal effects (tissue heating), NOT the non-thermal effects (non-ionizing radiation).

____________________________________________________

5/4/16:

Cell phone (and Smart Meter) signals ARE dangerous- new study concludes.

The dangers inherent in the frequencies used by cell phones, smart meters, wireless phones, baby monitors, wifi routers, etc. have been exposed by another recent study.

See the news report here.

The non-ionizing radiation (meaning it does not heat tissue) is repeatedly being reported as dangerous to humans - ESPECIALLY CHILDREN.

This is NOT "tin foil hat" craziness. These are legitimate scientists and researchers reporting.

***CONSUMER ALERT***
MADIGAN: GET SMART ABOUT SMART METERS

Attorney General Urges Consumers to Understand Smart Meter Data, its Benefits and Potential Pitfalls

Link to AG site here.   Fact sheet here.
ABC 7 News report here.

Note that Illinois law MANDATES the use of smart meters. The law was passed by the legislature and VETOED by Governor Pat Quinn. The legislature then OVERTURNED the veto!

ALSO: See the new video we just added to the Privacy page.

Great explanation of how the smart meter data CAN show exactly what is going on in your home (including WHAT PROGRAM you are watching on TV) and how the meter CAN BE HACKED.

Cell phone retailers in Berkeley are now required to post or hand out fliers warning customers of possible radiation exposure from the mobile devices.

All devices using this frequency range - cell phones, WIFI, smart meters, cordless phones, baby monitors, etc. may be dangerous. Link here.

The Naperville Sun has broken a story that now our water meters are to be "smart meters" as well !  


"Naperville will begin retrofitting homes with electronic "smart" water meters this year, with a goal of replacing 4,000 every year until all of the
analog water meters are gone."
  Link here.   


Looks like they think sneaking them in at 4,000 per year will avoid the problems they had implementing the electric meter.

Still, one has to ask -

From where will the money come for all this new hardware? The Water Department is already tapped out propping up the Electric Department !

WHOOPS!  Has the Naperville City Council severely underestimated the physical harm Smart Meters can do?

A new TEDx presentation by Jeromy Johnson - a Silicon Valley eingineer - explores the growing body of scientific evidence that we need to consider limiting use of wireless devices and finding alternative technologies where possible. Link here. (About 15 minutes)

If you listen, they TELL YOU they will spy on you through "smart" devices- including the electric meter.

Another lawsuit filed against Naperville's electric utility. This time for software royalty violation. See the Naperville Sun article. (Article is behind pay wall.)

The city of Naperville could be liable for unspecified financial "royalties" a Florida-based company contends it is owed in the wake of the city's installation of its "smart meter" utility system.

The owners of Miami-based Atlas IP maintain they patented the way in which a smart meter "hub" controls communications between the "remotes" installed at residences and businesses in the network, said George C. Summerfield, of the Stadheim & Grear Ltd. Law firm of Chicago, which represents the company.

Atlas filed suit Monday in U.S. District Court in Chicago against Naperville and its department of public utilities, the latter of which "provides the municipality's electric utility infrastructure," according to the six-page civil lawsuit........
