    Dear Editor,

    I have written a report on the Arizona Dept. of Health Service’s recently released “smart” meter study. Below is my report’s Foreword.

    Below that is my cover letter that accompanied my report to the Arizona Corporation Commission.

    My full report is available for reading at the ACC docket here: http://images.edocket.azcc.gov/docketpdf/0000158210.pdf .

    Foreword

    The title of this report, A Pattern of Incompetence and Fraud, was not chosen for affect.

    This evaluation of the “smart” meter health study that the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) requested of the Office of Environmental Health at the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS), will show in detail the multitude of major mistakes, misleading misrepresentations and obvious omissions that comprise the ADHS study. (The ADHS study, Public Health Evaluation of Radio Frequency Exposure from Electronic Meters, may be read in its entirety at the ACC docket, here: http://images.edocket.azcc.gov/docketpdf/0000157691.pdf.)

    A lover of brevity, I apologize for the length of this report, but the instances of data cherry picking and misrepresentations of scientific studies are too numerous. The spinning and equivocation is endless, the repetition of misinformation seemingly constant. And there are too many examples of ADHS omitting relevant and key material from the scientific works they review.

    Then of course there are the simple, basic things that ADHS got completely wrong. As you read, remember that ADHS spent over a year on their study. They had time to get it right but they did not.

    As I go through the ADHS study in the order it was written, section by section and sometimes line by line, you will see that an unmistakable pattern emerges, one of incompetence and fraud. The mistakes happen so often that they reflect incompetence, and instances where ADHS misleads occur so often that they amount to willful deception.

    In addition to other information, I use the actual articles and studies that ADHS referenced to demonstrate and prove my points. I show what ADHS reported and then what was really said.

    The ADHS study is a fraud on the public. Read along with me and you’ll see that I am not exaggerating.

    Letter to ACC

    Commissioners;

    Here is my report on the Arizona Department of Health Services’ “smart” meter study. Read it and weep.

    Since the ADHS did not find wireless “smart” meters safe, when will wireless “smart” meters be removed from Arizona? With every day that goes by, you are now violating the law.

    Additionally, there is no longer any point to APS’s request for extortion money from ratepayers not wishing to be harmed by “smart” meters.

    Game over.

    Sincerely,

    Warren Woodward

      My report has been posted at a German website and it’s better to read it there since it is in color. The ACC scans and then posts so no color. I always knew the ACC was colorless.

      Warren,

      I read your entire report and found it most credible and enlightening. It seems as though we live in an inverted reality, where fear itself is cherry picked by media and politicians; and largely manufactured or highly exaggerated. But when it comes from the empirical world or scientists or the rationally inclined, it tends to be discounted as fear-mongering.

      Your paper sadly falls into the latter category. But perhaps the silver lining is that you expose a real and pervasive conspiracy between Big Business and Big Government. Clearly, neither (in this case) is working in the public interest. In fact, I would go as far to say that they are blatantly working against it.

      Fine job!
