    (February 7, 2015) – 

    A massive corruption scandal is unfolding at the California Public Utilities Commission, and very revealing emails have been released. Amongst other utility issues, the scandal involves “smart” meters.

    Are we experiencing similar corruption at the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC)?

    In the attached letter to the ACC I give some reasons why we could be experiencing that, and I ask the FBI to investigate.

      Re: Docket # E-00000C-11-0328

      Commissioners;

      I am following up on my letter of February 6th in which I pointed out that APS’s letter of January 27th in the above docket was APS’s usual half-truth.

      As it turns out, the decision of the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regarding “smart” meter extortion fees that APS supplied Maureen Scott of the ACC Legal Dept. is already under appeal.

      An Application for Rehearing was filed with the CPUC on January 22nd, five days before APS’s January 27th letter.

      I have enclosed the EMF Safety Network’s Application for Rehearing (which can be read online here: https://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/PublishedDocs/Efile/G000/M144/K897/144897236.PDF ).

      I suggest you and your Legal Dept. take the time to read it. It eviscerates the corrupt CPUC’s decision. Many of its points also apply to your recent, illegal extortion fee decision.

      Additionally, in the appeal you will read an email from corrupt PG&E Vice President Brian Cherry that relates the CPUC conspiracy to delay CPUC “smart” meter proceedings until all “smart” meters had been installed.

      “Mike [Peevey, the CPUC president] grumbled about the CCSF PFM [City and County of San Francisco Petition for Modification] and the folks in Sebastopool [sic] who want to delay SmartMeter implementation. He implied that this wasn’t going to happen and that by the time the Commission got around to acting on it, we would have installed all of our meters.”

      The same delay tactic appears to have happened here in Arizona. As I wrote and docketed almost exactly 2 years ago:

      “We are witnessing a classic example of complete regulatory failure. The only real question left is: Was this failure planned from the start and, if so, who got paid to ensure the failure?

      Here’s how I see it: You pass some noble sounding requirements that are completely ignored. You feign concern and oversight with a couple of show meetings that some commissioners do not attend or leave early. The meetings accomplish nothing and liars are not liable for anything they say at them since they are not under oath. A docket is set up to lend some faux legitimacy but it’s really part of the rope-a-dope technique being used on the concerned individuals who send in information which is ignored. Before you know it five years have gone by and “smart” meter installation is a done deal.

      Is it incompetence or corruption? Either way, it looks like the public is damned.”

    From Protest Signs to Missiles: Why Peace Needs Teeth
    .By Tommy Acosta

    As a child of the ’60s, I grew up hating war—protesting and demonstrating against them, uncovering as a writer the global military-industrial complex, and seeking peace with my pen. Through the years, I saw myself as a herald—someone who could help people, through my writings, liberate themselves from programmed ignorance and institutionalized stupidity. Well, now that I am in the third act of my life, my understanding of how the world works has changed.
