Mike Mitcham is a researcher and activist, with a background in IT
systems consulting. In January 2012, he co-founded Stop Smart Meters!
(UK) to raise awareness among the public about the dangers of Smart
Meters and our rights to refuse them. To date, the campaign has served
over 100,000 Legal Notices to entities and individuals pushing the Smart
Metering agenda on behalf of nearly 1,400 people. Following concerted
efforts to appeal to Government policymakers and advisors, Mike and
co-founder Dr. Elizabeth Evans were asked to give evidence at a
televised Parliamentary Select Committee Hearing at the Palace of
Westminster in April 2013. Mike was recently featured in Take Back Your
Power, a documentary by Josh del Sol which examines the realities of the
"Smart Grid." Our discussion centers on the major privacy and health
concerns with the smart grid and the development of "the internet of
things." We also talk about the new IPv6 internet communications
protocol and RFID development. Mike explains the security
vulnerabilities of the smart grid and how the smart meter could allow
government, corporations and hackers to monitor your behavior based on
electricity usage. In the second hour, we discuss DARPA's development of
mechanical bees as a means to solve colony collapse disorder. Later, we
discuss the rise of infertility and the possible future scenario of
state or corporate control of human reproduction. With the developments
of such things as the artificial uterus and artificial sperm, mankind
might be heading down a very dark road.
