Military funding "SmartMeter" deployment?
The utility companies have described their installation of ‘smart’ meters as a “deployment.” They have called those of us peacefully defending the safety and health of the public “insurgents.” At times, scenes of the public physically blocking military-style smart meter installations conjure up images of wartime. But is the smart meter program actually being funded by the military? Is the “smart grid” somehow linked with military research and development? That’s what documents unearthed and analyzed by Las Vegas activist and firebrand Angel de Fazio would seem to suggest.
