[Note 02/05/21: Call them corrupt, criminals, haters, or racketeers. Call them “extremist”– that post-Trump term de rigueur. No matter what you call the mobbers of Seattle’s South Cedar Park, it’s high time for the City of Seattle to initiate an investigation into the reign of terror of the farcically named “Good Neighbors” neighborhood watch group and to ask the FBI to assist in the investigation of this cadre of homegrown terrorists who cloak themselves in the cloth of community do-gooders. Nobody should be physically harassed in or out of their homes and the power and utility grid should certainly not be used to do it. The longer it takes the City of Seattle to act, the greater the harm that is being done me. In a community of any conscience, I should never have had to face them alone. Nor should I have had to pay the price that has already been exacted from me as I have tried to assert my rights. I have no choice but to selectively post documentation of what is happening here in South Cedar Park and will continue to do so.]
I’ve little time to write this week but want to share the current from inside the transistor. It didn’t take long after considering Powerline technologies that I realized that mobbing like I’m being mobbed in Seattle’s South Cedar Park neighborhood might also include a component of “smart meter harassment.”
For tenants who possess contracts for the rental of single-family homes or for dwellings in multi-unit buildings, “opting out” of smart meter programs in cities like Seattle requires the permission of the property owner, a catch-22 for tenants whose landlords might find smart meters handy for tenant extraction. The issue here is whether tenants who are being criminally harassed using household services should require the permission of a potentially hostile landlord to defend themselves against a form of harassment that can result in physical harm. Tenant leaseholders are adults who have achieved the age of majority and have the right to enter into legal contracts; tenants are not chattel. California’s Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) makes smart meter opt-out available to all account holders. I’ll have further notes on this based on a life currently lived traveling between Seattle and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Next we’ll take a look at how the smart meters we worry contribute to privacy invasion can be co-opted into whole house surveillance and what I’ve called the “surround-sound system of harassment” employed by mobbers and other criminals in their Internets of malicious things. The modern household is encircled by a richness of local loop systems driven by radio frequency, from telephony to data, not all of them low-voltage. For criminals like mobbers, local loop systems overlaid by wireless technologies become the platform for forced eviction. In any closed loop system, one thing leads to another. (Note 02/02/21: Perhaps closed-loop household harassment is like the “cycle of abuse.”) The abuse of wireless technologies like WiFi extenders over the property line, onto the conductive copper lines, into the interior and onto the access points of the house next door enables harassment over copper with exploits like low-power radio by carrier current transmission, dubbed the “wired wireless” by veteran radiomen like Major General George Owen Squier, an 1887 graduate of the U.S. Military Academy, Chief Signal Officer in World War I, and the inventor of the unfortunate background sound known as “Muzak” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Owen_Squier and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muzak). Perhaps carrier current transmission is why “the walls sing.”
If there is no wireless without the wire, the converse may also be true. Where there is wire, you might find a radio. A telephone is a wire that connects two tin cans. Given powerline technology and the use of wireless repeaters and conductive copper for antennas and transport, there may be ample possibilities for the use of extenders to put sound onto copper. Those who see where this is going, feel free to run on ahead; I would welcome the help. It’s time to get the mobbers turned in and to get back to some serious living.
