\u00a0In response to Ian Dyck\u2019s recent letters supporting FortisBC\u2019s smart meter installations (AMI), Okanagan people need to know that what you can\u2019t see will hurt you.<\/p>\n

Eminent, independent, non-industry-funded scientists with expertise in the area of electromagnetic radiation have warned us now for many years that:<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

a) long-term, low-level, pulsed, non-thermal radio\/microwave frequency radiation is harmful to humans and all living things;<\/p>\n

b) power line (60 Hz) electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation given off by\u00a0household wiring, electrical appliances, high voltage power transmission and distribution lines, etc. is equally harmful to humans and all\u00a0living things.<\/p>\n

Deployment of smart meters and their\u00a0imposition on an unsuspecting population will eventually cause a crisis in human health unseen before in human history.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t the firestorm that killed the\u00a0victims of Dresden, it was the lack of oxygen. It wasn\u2019t the mushroom cloud that killed the victims of the Hiroshima-Nagasaki bombing, it was radiation exposure.<\/p>\n

Oxygen and ionizing radiation are invisible, proving that what you can\u2019t see can kill. Oxygen and radiation are invisible, as is non-ionizing radiation at the lower end of the spectrum, i.e. microwaves emitted from cellphones, any wireless gadget, including smart meters.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re facing what Dr. Devra Davis, distinguished epidemiologist, author of Disconnect and founder of the Environmental Health Trust in the United States, calls \u201cthe slow roll-out of an epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Around the world, people are already suffering. They are going to their doctors with symptoms consistent with electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), yet doctors are untrained in the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation and treat patients according to their symptoms.<\/p>\n

This violates the first rule of medicine, which is to remove the patient from the cause of their disease.<\/p>\n

Scientific evidence is being swept under the carpet. Confusion over scientific results is being created by people like Dr. William Bailey, of Exponent, a product defence\u00a0consultant for FortisBC in last year\u2019s smart meter hearing before the BC Utilities Commission (BCUC).<\/p>\n

The BCUC and government officials such as Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall are turning a blind eye to the unfolding carnage. FortisBC Smart Meter Project Director Ian Dyck is a businessman.<\/p>\n

His sole purpose is to increase corporate profit. BC Hydro is a Crown Corporation. As a government body, BC Hydro is breaking the social contract that binds our society for the benefit of everyone.<\/p>\n

A broken contract means that both partners will suffer. Those responsible for implementing wireless technology \u2014 especially smart meters \u2014 will not escape.<\/p>\n

I have decided not to have any smart<\/p>\n

meter installed on my house. This after also having read the concise and precise power point presentation by Jerry Flynn, a retired Canadian military officer who spent more than 22 years in Electronic Warfare:\u00a0bcuc.com\/Documents\/Proceedings\/2013\/DOC_33282_C6-10_Flynn_Submitting-Comments-ppt-presentation.pdf<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

To my knowledge, this presentation so\u00a0far has not been refuted nor rebutted by\u00a0authorities.<\/p>\n

Dr. Kendall and Dr. Bailey refuse to meet Jerry Flynn in an open discussion about the controversial smart meter issue.<\/p>\n
