'Populists' like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage are a "threat to democracy", chant the mainstream media. In fact, they are just reminding our politicians what they are supposed to be doing, says Prof James Alexander.

If you wondered where the MSM get all their lurid stories attributing 'extreme weather' to climate change, look no further than a new job ad for a "researcher" focused on creating alarmist propaganda, says Chris Morrison.

Phil Hogan - Minister for the Environment,

Dear Minister Phil Hogan, Irish Water, Bord Gáis and all other agents, county councillors, officers, employees,
contractors and interested parties in the matter of Irish Water and the Smart-Meter Program,
To those who intend to install a ‘Smart-Meter’ or any activity monitoring device at the above address, this is a Legal
Notice that all parties are hereby denied consent for installation and use of all such devices on (or near) the above
property. Installation and use of any activity monitoring device is hereby refused and prohibited. No legislative act
supercedes the natural, self-evident right of any individual man or woman to refuse to buy the services or goods of
any other entity (private or public) or to protect his or her health from the effects of such goods. I neither want your
goods (the Smart-Meter) nor require your services (water-metering). A contract demands consent. Further to
that, ‘informed’ consent is legally required for the installation of a device that has proven detrimental effects on the
health of users, or any surveillance device that will collect and transmit private and personal data to undisclosed and
unauthorised parties for undisclosed and unauthorised purposes. No such consent is given nor may be inferred.
Authorisation for sharing of personal and private information may only be given by the originator and subject of that
information. Such authorisation is hereby denied and refused with regard to the above property and all of its
occupants.
Threats of lowered water-pressure or other consequences of refusal to engage with Irish Water will be taken as coercive
intimidation and treated as harrassment. Acts of interfering with the water-pressure or water-quality to ‘encourage’
compliance by Irish Water or any of its agents will be treated as sabotage and coaction and will be pursued through
the courts. Installation of the Meter in direct disregard of this notice (without rebutting the scientific studies and
matters of law provided) will be taken as Irish Water’s agreement that the Smart-Meter is to be treated as an item of
abandoned equipment and may be removed (disabled/disposed of) at my own discretion. Installation of the Meter in
direct disregard of this notice will also be taken as agreement that Irish Water and all other contracting parties will
each be liable for damages amounting to not less than €5,000 per infringement, for direct disregard of the rights of the
occupants and the potential health-risks that Smart-Meters create, despite disclosure and awareness of both.
Information on the security and health risks of ‘Smart Meters’, and the various breeches of Irish Law, the Constitution
(Bunreacht Na hÉireann) and the European Convention on Human Rights are detailed on the following pages.

Great notice letter Brian! Puts the shoe on the other foot.
Also, see this article for a quite damning timeline regarding the introduction of Irish water :
http://www.indymedia.ie/article/104645
Brian's posting gives the impression that the use of that form or something like it will prevent the state from putting in these meters -- it won't. I hope no-one else believes this or relies on it. Only communal resistance at a high enough level can achieve this.
In the last couple of years we have heard a similar type of discourse from Freemen, to the effect that one can resist the courts with a similar type of quasi-legalese, that the court will thereby be unable to fine people or send them to jail. It was RUBBISH and when people relied on that, their defence was ignored and they were fined. If they didn't pay the fine, they were going to jail.
Attacks by the State have to be resisted but it is by solidarity and large-scale effective action that this can be successful.
must go hand in hand. By all means put up notices informing the lackeys of this state that we regard water metering an oppressive and illegal act. But don't expect them to take notice of it. That's where direct action has to begin. First by obstructing work crews. If that doesn't works - well, check out that Eirigi video on Youtube on how to disable water meters.
It doesn't matter in what shape or form you fight back as long as you do fight back.
