    Remember when utilities (like APS) solemnly stated their “smart” meters could not spy on you? Check out this press release from a company called ONZO. It’s gonzo. They are bragging about how well they can spy on you.

      Warren warned us all about spying from the very beginning. See the film “The Human Face of Big Data” Sunday at the film festival.

      From the film: “Every powerful tool has a dark side. Every last one. Anything that is going to change the world by definition has to be able to change it for the worst as well as for the better. It doesn’t work one way without the other.”—Jay Walker, TEDMED

      I still protest the health effects of persistent electronic waves–and these are just the ones we already know about.

      But what about the ability to shut down cities or states with the flip of a switch, a bit of Trojan malware or a bomb? Our city is more connected – invisibly – than ever. It’s all part of the sheepifying of America.

    If you recently moved to Sedona, you may notice that every four years, residents vote on something called Home Rule. The July 21 vote is simply about who controls Sedona’s city budget.

    Home Rule allows the city government, Staff with limitations, and Council to spend any money they have on any project they want without regard to voter input.
