BREAKING! The Smart Meter Opt Out was ONLY an "Appeasement Plan" ... The Goal: to halt the mounting opposition against the smart grid, and to - shut down natural gas use . . . yes, to shut down natural gas!
We have discovered the smart meter opt out's are a distraction, extortion and ONLY an appeasement while the smart meter deployments continue nationwide [worldwide, I might add]... and while we are distracted and not asking the right questions.
The goal of the smart meter opt out was to halt the raising opposition and create the illusion that we had a choice… we have learned we DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE ...we have NEVER had a choice, period. Funded by the utility companies under the auspices of the public utility commissions, the Department of Energy and with White House directives along with stimulus funding, we were all FOOLED… Private Corporations are taking over our cities and we are being systematically transformed into regional governments ... Our futures are being reshaped under the name of sustainability. . We are not getting choices - we are being told what we can or cannot do by unelected officials in corporate agencies - and we have lost our local representative government.

http://www.barefootsworld.net/regional.html

How did all this happen to us? Government Agencies have perfected the Rand Institute's Delphi Technique … a technique used in "every" level on public meetings, every creation of public policy, every decision you think you make has been engineered by the Rand Institute. All the alphabet corporate agencies are under the mother corporation of USA, Inc., and we have all been socially engineered by predetermined outcomes and told we have been part of open public debate, and we have not.
Here is what we found out - "Every" planning department in every city in the United States was required to create a "Climate Action Plan" or also referred to as an "Energy Action Plan" by the fall of 2012. . some cities completed their plan on time and other cities are still working on their plan.  The utility company in each city is working directly with that city planning department to create the plan. . in the lawless system we are now in this is not considered a conflict of interest.  BUT it gets far WORSE - for example in the "Energy Action Plan" for San Gabriel, San Marino and Covina (in Southern California) the plans state the following, in the Energy Action Plan Acknowledgements - This "Energy Action Plan" was prepared by PMC for the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments and the named city.  The preparation of this Plan was funded by Southern California Edison as part of the Local Government Strategic Plan Strategies Program funding for the 2010 - 2012 Program Period under the auspices of the California Public Utilities Commission" . . . another example in Santa Rosa, in Northern California -  the "Climate Action Plan" was based upon work supported by the Department of Energy Award Number DE-SC00001512 and further stating, "the report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.  Prepared by PMC with assistance from Sonoma State University Center for Sustainable Communities".  Santa Rosa's Climate Action plan also states the following: 
Sonoma County and the other nine municipalities in Sonoma County, established one of the most aggressive GHG reduction targets in the state and nation by committing to reduce GHG emissions 25% below 1990 levels by 2015.
This project was funded through an Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act. One of the goals of the EECBG program is to facilitate planning efforts and projects that will have a quantifiable effect on reducing energy use and GHG emissions while stimulating the economy and creating jobs.
Measure 1.2: Energy Efficiency in Existing Buildings
Facilitate energy efficiency upgrades and retrofits in existing commercial, residential, and industrial buildings by connecting residents and businesses with technical and financial assistance.
Action Items:
Action 1.2.1. Connect businesses and residents with voluntary programs that provide free or low-cost energy efficiency audits and financing assistance for energy- efficient appliances.
Action 1.2.2. Work with the Sonoma County Energy Independence Program (SCEIP) to offer low-interest financing and technical assistance to property owners for energy efficiency retrofits.
Santa Rosa - Measure 1.3: Smart Meter Utilization
Encourage existing development and require new development to utilize PG&E's Smart Meter system to facilitate energy and cost savings.
Action Items:
Action 1.3.1. Require new construction and major remodels to install real-time energy monitors that allow building users to track their current energy use.
Action 1.3.2. Inform the community of metering options, such as online applications and in-home monitors.
Action 1.3.3. Connect businesses and residents with rebate programs that give priority to appliances with smart grid technology.
Measure 1.6: Energy-Efficient Appliances
Facilitate the efficient use of energy for appliances in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
Action Items:
Action 1.6.1. Seek funding sources to develop a rebate program for residents and businesses to exchange inefficient appliances with Energy Star certified models.

Cost estimates in the "Energy Action Plan" in San Gabriel to retrofit the average residence is $2,000 to $5,000 per household . . .
These plans discuss how increasing taxes, getting grants (bribes), structuring retrofit home mortgages to meet the costs requirements to implement the GHG reduction commitments agreed to by your city, for you. . .household and business monitoring programs will enforce the "required" reduction of resource use. . A third party energy manager will conduct monitoring, annually, to verify target GHG reductions are being met by the cities.  Keep in mind the partnerships are Private Public Partnerships . . 

Read the "Report from Iron Mountain" which is an agenda that was implemented that tells us how pollution was INVENTED and advanced by NASA to create the FEAR necessary for the Global Banking Cartel to maintain "control" of society. . created pollution - intentionally!

“Imposing such controls by executive order seems merely designed to prevent the American people from finding out the truth before the policies are implemented," he said. "Obviously, the ... report is silly."
PCAP’s call for an executive order comes with specifics. It asks the president to issue clear criteria for carbon regulations and to reform the tax code and federal regulations to support “a low-carbon rather than a carbon-intensive U.S. economy.”

Note: Some of the supporters of the Presidential Climate Action Project are the Rockefeller Brother Fund and Rockefeller Family Foundation - the Rockefeller's were on the ground floor and worked with Harvard College along with the United States Air Force back in the late 1940's to create the silent weapons system to gain "total" CONTROL of the civilian population.  The Operation Research Manuel is a Declaration of War against the civilian population by a group of persons in position of great power and without full knowledge and consent of the public. Please read the     "Silent Weapons Quiet Wars"
Continue to read the following excerpt taken from the link provided below . . .

An enormously valuable National Advisory Committee has supported the Presidential Climate Action Project (PCAP) over the past four years. Its members encouraged us to push the envelope of public policy in light of the urgency of global climate change, and they agreed that consensus would not be required, since consensus seeks the lowest common denominator in group work. Special thanks goes to Gary Hart and Ray Anderson for their co-chairmanship of the committee.
The project was the brainchild of Dr. David Orr of Oberlin College, who continues his cutting-edge leadership in the field of sustainability. PCAP was administered by the University of Colorado Denver School of Public Affairs during its first three years, and by Natural Capitalism Solutions in its final year. Thanks to Deans Kathleen Beatty and Paul Teske and to Hunter Lovins, the president and founder of Natural Capitalism Solutions.
PCAP has been funded by a variety of individuals and foundations. The project simply would not have been possible without each of them. Adam J. Lewis; Michael Northrop and Jessica Bailey of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund; and Ray Anderson and Mike Bertolucci at the Interface Environmental Foundation have been stalwart supporters throughout. Additional support came from the Sydney E. Frank Foundation, Tom and Noel Congdon, the Crown and Kunkler Family, the Arntz Family Foundation, the Krehbiel Family Foundation, John and Laurie McBride, the Rockefeller Family Foundation, the Bermingham Fund, Susan Sakmar, Rutt Bridges, Tara Trask, and Betsy Taylor. The Johnson Foundation provided invaluable support by hosting five conferences in which groups of national experts conceptualized and informed PCAP.
April Bucksbaum, Scott Bernstein and Jane Elder contributed significantly to the content of this final report. Jennifer Lukas helped enormously with research and proofreading.
PCAP has received ideas, advice and general intellectual support from hundreds of thought leaders and foot soldiers in the green movement in the United States and in Europe. In our 2008 report, we tried to list all of them to that point. We abandoned the effort in subsequent reports because contributors were simply too numerous to mention. But they know who they are, and we hope they know how much we appreciate their help. We’re grateful, also, to John Podesta and Todd Stern who as leaders of the Obama transition team sat down with us shortly after the election in November 2008 to go over our recommendations.
We also thank the many people, from Nobel Laureates to school children, who signed two of PCAP’s foundation documents: the Wingspread Principles on the U.S. Response to Climate Change and the State of the Climate Message.

BIG NEWS  - Natural Gas Equipment and Appliances are Being Phased OUT -

According to the Santa Rosa "Climate Action Plan" and other cities the plans require Energy Star ELECTRIC appliances:

BIG NEWS - This is in Chapter 4-10 of the Santa Rosa Climate Action Plan . . . 
Measure 1.7: Appliance Electrification
Encourage residents and businesses to switch natural-gas- powered appliances to electric power, where appropriate.
Action Items:
Action 1.7.1. Utilize the energy-efficient appliance rebate program to facilitate the replacement of natural gas equipment with electric-powered equipment.
Action 1.7.2. Identify opportunities to implement additional programs that will switch appliances from natural gas to electricity.

Did you know there are NO Energy Star Gas Appliances?  

Did you know that the "Climate Action Plans" or the "Energy Action Plans" ALL Require Energy Star ELECTRIC Appliances?  

Did you know the cities Action Plans say Natural Gas and Coal are Non-renewables?

Did you know residents and businesses are to switch from natural-gas powered appliances and equipment to electric power?

Did you think about why electricity ONLY?  Of course this allows for greater "control" and restricts our choice of energy resources allowing for greater monitoring, higher costs and restrictions . . 

The city action plans "require" all new construction to implement smart meters and Energy Star Electric Appliances and Equipment.

Did you know BIG OIL Companies are shutting down coal and eliminating natural gas use?  This is a battle between the international banking cartels, and we are caught in the cross fire. .well not really.  Actually, the international bankers plan for us is in the "Silent Weapons Quiet Wars" agenda which discusses slavery and genocide.  The smart meter radiation is only part of the bankers silent weapons system to reduce the middle class, which the elites claim is a threat to their sovereignty, and to eliminate the majority of us for easier herd management.  We are being farmed and harvested as "cattle" - you will read this in the "Silent Weapons Quiet Wars".

Did you know that homeowners will be "nudged" at first to retrofit their homes and businesses with GHG reducing smart meters and RFID chipped, Energy Star Electric appliances?  If nudging doesn't work then mandatory polices will be put in place . .

Ever wonder WHY our aging underground gas pipeline system is NOT being repaired?  Lack of pipeline repair is why those suffered and died in the San Bruno Gas Pipeline Explosion, providing the story of what occurred, is correct.  Whatever the truth the story is gas lines blew up and we must fear gas lines blowing up under our streets in our neighborhoods . . . FEAR and media propaganda along with division and countless disinformation actors among us are leading us all into falsely created resource scarcity beliefs - which allow exactly what we all are witnessing with ever increasing toxins, lawlessness, no ethics or morals, more corruption and increasing danger to us all.  So, gas pipeline FEAR has been created and when the utilities tell us we MUST all go to electric we will comply and NEVER wonder WHY!

Ever notice how many street closures, in downtown San Francisco, occur that are due to underground gas line leaks?

The elimination of natural gas will explain why PG&E intentionally withheld repairs to the gas manifolds (meters) located on thousands of homes and businesses in Northern California. A PG&E gas employee went to the CPUC and the media when he discovered PG&E's internal documents that divulged criminal intent.  Here is a reminder of that event:

TV Coverage - PG&E - (Pacific Gas and Electric) in Northern California Finds Leaking Meters But Isn't Telling Homeowners -


______________________________________________________________

The StopTheCrime.net research team attended a PG&E Gas employee's meeting, in Northern California, and reported the following:

The gas employees were questioning management about why they were not filling the nearly 200 vacant job positions and why many excellent applicants were not be called back, much less hired.

Management responded by saying they were planning to update the gas department with newer technologies and younger employees that were computer literate.  That brought on a concerned debate with employees questioning their futures and the fact that management said they were an aging work force . . .The employees talked about a few resent young hires that were "completely" unskilled for gas work . . 

Most importantly, it was divulged that PG&E gas employees had not had any official company training for gas leak repairs.  The employees said they learned by working with the older experienced gas crews. . . Management told the employees that they were qualified experts and not to forget that.


Bringing the Saudi's up to speed on smart grid strategies



Aiming for Zero
• Sustainability is NOT the same thing as Zero Energy. There is no such thing as zero energy. Energy does not exist in a vacuum – it always comes from somewhere and goes somewhere.
• Because there is always a cost to energy, trade-offs are inevitable in order to find a harmonious balance that offers the greatest efficiency and least impact on the environment.
• THIS IS THE ULIMATE GOAL – TO NOT USE ENERGY. THE MOST EFFICIENT ENERGY IS ENERGY WE DO NOT GENERATE! This is not a technology, it is behavior modification, or learning to live in a new reality.

The Entire Speech by JFK that May Well Have Led to His Death

The Entire Speech by JFK that May Well Have Led to His Death



  Oh, my, this is the very first time I have heard this speech in its entirety.   This not only shows the full extent of the problems he saw, but it shows just how closely he called it back in 1961, and why he had to die according to the planned coup of the nation.   We are seeing today, the results of his vision and knowledge that had he remained alive, would certainly have changed the world as we know it today.  

Every time I read or listen to one of his speeches and read what he did to keep his promises, that cost him his life,  I am more and more convince of the greatness of this man and just how big a loss to our nation, his death truly was. Like all Presidents, I have no doubt he made some mistakes, but on the bigger picture and larger scale, I believe if he had been allowed to live, they would have paled in comparison to the good he was doing.

Please listen to the entire speech. It reveals even more than the short version did, and maybe that is why the short version was promoted instead of the full speech.  We also get a glimpse of JFK's incredible sense of humor and intellectual prowess.  What a man and what a great President.  
JFK Secret Societies Speech (full version)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdMbmdFOvTs

Published by MrMnmn911 on Feb 1, 2013
                                                         

Was JFK's comment on "secret societies" a statement against the "NWO"? I searched this famous quote and finally found the full unedited written transcript and audio of this speech.

JFK was actually talking about current events of the cold war and how nontraditional enemies were gaining information on how the US was battling this war.

In this speech JFK actually points out "the need for far greater "official" secrecy"...as well as "the need for a far greater public information". (VN: I believe he was talking about more than that, I believe he saw what we see today, non traditional enemies and wars....but you listen and decide for yourselves.)



http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=zdMbmdFOvTs

JFK admits "I have no easy answer to the dilemma that I have posed," but also states, "and would not seek to impose it if I had one." This is a major difference from where todays elected officials stand.  (VN: that is because JFK stood for honor, integrity, and his sworn oath to defend and protect the Constitution of the United States..... he meant it when he took it, reps today do not.  They just want to know how much will be going into their pockets.)

THE PAMPERED, GOOD LIFE OF FORT HOOD SHOOTER Army killer gets $80,000 a year, helicopter rides while victims suffer

  • Text smaller
  • Text bigger
Nearly four years after Islamist Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan shouted “Allahu akbar!” (“God is great!”) and brutally murdered 13 people and injured 30 others at Fort Hood, Texas, Hasan now receives free helicopter rides from the local jail nearly every day, lives in a private room built to accommodate his medical needs, wears a beard against Army regulations, travels with his own security detail, has received numerous trial delays and collects a full salary of about $80,000 a year – all while many of his victims say they’ve been forgotten.
According to KXAS-TV, the NBC News affiliate in Dallas, the Army psychiatrist has been paid more than $278,000 since the Nov. 5, 2009, shooting because the military has said it cannot suspend his pay without a conviction.
Hasan, 42, is facing 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder at his trial begins Tuesday. The New York Times reported the Army has spent more than $5 million on Hasan’s case and secured the courthouse with massive sand-packed barriers to protect him from explosions.
The Army has paid for Hasan’s military defense lawyers, paralegals and experts for his defense. Hasan also enjoys a heavily guarded trailer near the courthouse. The court-martial is expected to last at least a month.
No other inmate at the Bell County jail is treated the same way.
After struggling to cope with the tragedy, Staff Sgt. Josh Berry, 36, a soldier who survived Hasan’s attack committed suicide on Feb 13, 2013.
In what his father described as the “his absolute proudest moment in the United States Army,” Berry met President Obama at a service for victims of the brutal attack. During the memorial service, Obama never once used the word terrorism.
Berry, who had suffered from post-traumatic stress in Afghanistan, injured his shoulder as he leaped for cover in the storm of bullets at Fort Hood.
“He was in a war zone 24/7,” his father, Howard Berry, told NBC. “He honestly was.”
After he survived the worst shooting on an American military installation, the Army sent Berry to receive treatment at a VA hospital in Cincinnati, but his condition worsened as he no longer felt safe at home.
“He was never at peace,” Howard said. “He was never at peace. Every day, since the Fort Hood shooting, he suffered.”
According to his father, Sgt. Berry felt the Obama administration had forgotten the victims of that tragic day. The victims were denied Purple Heart medals and combat-related benefits because the Army determined the shooting was not an act of terrorism – despite Hasan’s own admission that he killed innocent Americans to defend the Taliban.
Here’s video of the KXAS-TV investigation of the case:
As WND reported, for years, the Obama administration has maintained that the victims of the 2009 shooting simply were in the crosshairs of a situation of “workplace violence.”
“He felt that there were considerations being given to the shooter that weren’t being given to the victims, and he couldn’t understand,” Howard Berry said.
Maj. Greg Majewski, Berry’s former commander, said the government’s delays and treatment of the victims “weighed heavily” on Berry.
“It affected his ability to cope because he would definitely get obsessive about it,” Majewski said. “It was something that was constantly on his mind. … I just cannot imagine Josh taking his life if the events at Fort Hood had not happened that day.”
Howard Berry said, “I can understand why [Josh] did what he did, because he felt that our country left a wounded soldier on the battlefield. And he felt that he wasn’t given the same consideration that our enemies were, and he didn’t understand.”
Hasan had been on federal officials’ radar screen for at least six months prior to the shooting over postings he made on the Internet. He likened a suicide bomber who kills women and children to a soldier who throws himself on a grenade to give his life in a “noble cause.”
Intelligence officials also intercepted at least 18 emails between Hasan and the radical American-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki. Hasan told al-Awlaki in one of the emails, “I can’t wait to join you” in paradise. He also asked al-Awlaki whether it was appropriate to kill innocents in a suicide attack, when jihad was acceptable and how to transfer funds without attracting government notice.
Staff Sgt. Shawn Manning was shot six times in the attack, yet he is denied the same benefits a soldier shot in a similar action overseas would receive.
Fellow soldiers that day “were killed and wounded by … somebody who was there that day to kill soldiers, to prevent them from deploying,” Manning said. “And if that’s not an act of war, an act of terrorism, I don’t know what is.”
Staff Sgt. Alonzo M. Lunsford Jr. was shot once in the head and six times in the body. He pretended to be dead and then tried to get out of the building, but Hasan shot him again in the back.
Now, according to the New York Times, Lunsford will face Hasan in court Tuesday when he testifies at the trial. Lunsford told the Times the Army garnished his pay when he sought treatment at a military post-traumatic stress disorder program and rejected his request to pay for an operation to remove a bullet still lodged in his back.
“We don’t get passes the way Major Hasan got passes,” Lunsford said. “Each one of us has gotten a raw deal somewhere down the line.”
Spc. Logan Burnett, another survivor of the attack who was shot three times, said he feels the Army has catered to the needs of Hasan, but forgotten his victims. Burnett told NBC he was particularly disturbed by the government’s refusal to designate the shooting as a terror attack:
“The day that came out was the day the government looked at every single one of the victims of the Fort Hood shooting and spit in our faces.”
