Incredible , we have this going on in the UK as well. I think Smart meters also emit EMF , that are harmful…but it’s not an area I have studied. It’s good that you are putting out this warning ‼️

I'm sure that paying the opt out fee will also get you on the cannabis list. After all, why would you want to opt out unless you're growing cannabis, right? 🙄

I opted out from the beginning because of the high level of EMF's, and distrust.

How could you afford to opt-out if you weren't growing cannabis?

Smart cities, smart meters, smart phones, smart TVs, smart appliances, smart everything.. It's all about data collection and control!! Linking today as usual @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/

The creeping infringements on privacy, autonomy, freedom of speech, and the digital surveillance network are certainly progressing rapidly. It seems to be accelerating and I don't see how it can be stopped unless there's a massive return to a simpler less technological way of life. It doesn't seem likely that people will give up all the conveniences, and benefits of the techno society we live in.

But the problem isn't the technology so much, it's more the way it's used and the corrupt systems that allow it to be misused. There aren't a lot of safeguards in place yet to stop the most powerful tools ever created to be controlled and weaponized by the ruthless and wealthy elites.

Somehow we have to find a solution that doesn't crush the human spirit, and doesn't lead to a dead end dystopian future.

There might come a day when we have to decide to give up the illusions and promises of the technocrats, and make them accountable, even if it causes a world of pain.

I couldn't help but wonder, won't the powers that be, consider anyone opting out as suspicious? I don't think that opting out will be a protection. More like a red flag to the overlords.

But then what’s the option? Comply? I’d rather opt out and deal with the consequences. Otherwise you’re basically condoning. You’re not wrong, however. What it will take is mass non-compliance. Not a one-off here and there.

The option is to not participate in their game. It is a choice.

It is perfectly feasible to power your home with solar. If I had more space, I would do it myself but I just don't have anywhere that I would be able to put the batteries. I wouldn't want to have them in the house with current technology.

This type of enforcement is just a way to target low level producers with little effort and make a show of it. It is like the border patrol checkpoints. They catch the low level people with a little bit in their car but the majority of it is being smuggled on an industrial scale by the semi and boxcar loads. It is much easier for the smugglers to pay inspectors to look the other way than it is to hide their products. When they catch the smaller loads, they can still get the pat on the back for a job well done and make it seem like they are doing something.

It is all smoke and mirrors.

It is less about fighting crime than it is about eliminating competition. It happened in Prohibition as well. The bootleggers used the police to shut down the operations that were not paying "the tax."

Once they legalized cannabis in California, all pretext of public safety from the effects of cannabis goes out the window. Whether that is good or bad is a different discussion. What is important to notice is that they don't care about the law with the state sanctioned growers. Notice how they were fine with child labor on the recent ice raid in the news as long as they were getting their cut of the operation.

Similarly, the reason that they are fine with illegal immigration is that they can profit from it. They don't care that the illegal immigrants are being exploited. Just as long as they can get extra seats in Congress and have cheap labor to maximize their profits, it is all good to them.

The next frontier of this won't be targeting people using showers, it will be directed towards farmers who are pumping water irrigate to their crops and water their livestock.
