Video of an ANALOG Meter with RF

"my meter spiked every bit loftier equally the meter would allow this meter was attack gauss reading.  The neighbors smart meter showed half dozen-8 gauss.  The readings on the outside my microwave oven while running was less than and equal to this reading the deviation is I use my microwave oven maybe 10 minutes out of the twenty-four hours to bake potatoes and the meter on my firm puts out the same or more 24/7.   You do know not to stand too close to a microwave don't you?  Even though it does non burn you they know information technology causes health effects."

From StopSmartMeters.Org and EIwellspring.org:  "As if smart meters weren't creepy enough, it appears that utility companies have been hiding wireless transmitters  in so-called 'analog' meters, without informing the public.  You might be paying hundreds of dollars a twelvemonth for a meter that looks like a safe analog with a spinning disc or dials, but information technology is yet pulsing microwave radiations.   Sound like a bait & switch scam?  It is."  (Link:  http://stopsmartmeters.org/2013/10/xi/trojan-equus caballus-analog-meters-investigated/)

EIwellspring.org:  "There are meters available which transmit by wireless or by PLC [power line carrier], which both can cause health bug."  Here is a link that includes pictures, revealing what an analog electrical meter with a wireless transmitter in it looks like:  http://world wide web.eiwellspring.org/smartmeter/StealthMeters.htm.
