Smart Meter (SM) technology is something most consumers may not be familiar with. However, just because the ‘smart’ label is attached to a technology, that doesn’t imply the technology is in the best interest of consumers’ overall health.

Think again, especially when it comes to new ‘smart’ electric, gas, or water meters that are AMI (Advanced Metering Infrastructure) SMs, which can do a few things consumers really may not be aware of and which really are NOT very smart safety-wise.   Continue reading “Smart Meters Unveiled”

Dr. Oz should be given a Congressional medal of some kind for his willingness to expose the truth about glyphosate on national television. In a recent episode that went viral, Dr. Oz discussed the toxicity of the biotech industry’s favorite pesticide “glyphosate” — a dangerous chemical that even the World Health Organization now admits likely causes cancer.

In response to this episode, the so-called “Monsanto Mafia” went berserk with all their usual character assassination tactics, and now they’ve come up with a contrived plot — a campaign of intimidation and character smearing — to try to silence Dr. Oz by destroying his credibility.   Continue reading “Vicious attack on Dr. Oz actually waged by biotech mafia; plot to destroy Oz launched after episode on glyphosate toxicity went viral”

(Kim Komando)  Most commercial airplanes have an indestructible flight recorder, also called a “black box” – even though the casing is actually bright orange. The black box records information from the flight computers and another box records cockpit audio and other sources around the plane. In the event of a crash, investigators can recover the black boxes to help find out exactly what happened.

Cars can have black boxes, too. In fact, it’s a good bet your current car has one already, and if it doesn’t your next new car certainly will. That’s why you should know exactly what that black box is recording, who can get that information and how you can stay in control.   Continue reading “Your car’s hidden ‘black box’ and how to keep it private”
