If you have seen the new documentary film “Take Back Your Power,” or even the trailer videos, you know that there was considerable discussion on how our privacy is at risk from a whole range of sources. Your privacy is potentially at risk from surfing the Internet to using household appliances, to just watching television. After watching the film, I followed up with some independent research and will present some short videos and other information, some of which were shown in the documentary film “TBYP.” My investigative efforts ultimately expanded beyond the content presented in “TBYP.”
There are those individuals in government and non-governmental organizations who have as their goal a sustainable future world that includes “peace, human well-being, inter and intra-generational equity, participation, and respect and maintenance of natural systems.” Unfortunately, the means to reach this future state would likely result in the extinction of the Middle Class and the demise of the American Dream. It is a situation whereby central planners are engaged on a mission where “the end justifies the means.” In their view, as it currently exists, the traditional Middle Class lifestyle is simply not “sustainable.”
Two organizations which 
In the area of privacy, data security, and health concerns, there is considerable scientific literature, government documents, expert testimony, etc., to substantiate that there are increased risks associated with smart meters as compared with analog electrical usage meters.
On August 23, 2013, President Obama made some comments that mocked people who are not convinced of the wisdom of using energy-efficient bulbs and smart appliances. What the President fails to realize is that it is not a matter of a “socialist plot” as to why informed people don’t want these bulbs and appliances. It is that both the bulbs and appliances can make you sick, and, in addition, that the smart appliances can be utilized to spy* on you.
“The smart grid is increasingly understood as an over-engineered, ill-advised, financial boondoggle at taxpayer expense, capable of endangering the security of the entire national grid, violating constitutional privacy protections, and endangering public health. In addition, the smart grid/metering has not been found to save energy when all the new variables in the system are factored in. Plus, time-of-use pricing is largely punitive to those who can least afford it. Time-of-use pricing is fundamentally a Wall Street model designed to maintain shareholder profits as we transition to more energy efficient models that will reduce demand.”Search for content.
