Dear Billy T and Somerville/Medford News Weekly Speakup Line,

You spend so many hours, adding up the days; stuck in traffic. What previously took five to seven minutes, now takes twenty to thirty or more. Construction at every corner. Roads reduced to less than one working lane, if any. POTHOLES that eat half your car. Instead of absorbing the intended stress, I observe what’s around me – Like WHO paid for the extra M’s in SoMerville?
When working construction in the 1980’s into 2000’s, I ordered signs for our projects. Every square inch and letter had a cost of ~$10., back then. Sitting in traffic for HOURS, almost EVERY one of these construction signs around us had an extra M.

My next thought, “This is work that should be given to LOCAL people who at least KNOW how to spell the city’s name. Driving by daily, incites my NEED TO KNOW. WHO would have enough money to not care and pay for the extra M’s? Did they visit or Google us at least ONCE? Or just bill us several times more than it normally would cost, in 3-5 times as long as it would NORMALLY take to conclude similar work. Nothing seems to be getting cheaper or applied to things our citizens REALLY NEED. ‘Who paid for the extra M’s in Somerville?’
On December 23, 2023 a friend forwarded a link to a new Davis Square neighborhood plan (Link to the document) released December 19, 2023. Align that with some online verification of who owns BOTH sides of Elm Street AND the parking lots, to be raised into ‘BioLabs’. Removing most parking and no cars. (Link to ‘How to Buy an Election’)
Future – I’m wondering how one of the occupants replaces a hot water tank when their plumber cannot drive near the property to deliver nor access their tools, but the geniuses of these plans do not think of these basics.
Upon that annoyance, I HAD to know WHO paid for the extra M’s with MY tax dollars….OUR tax dollars. The URL in the link (https://ehq-production-us-california.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/…) was from a California company using a style of design that does not apply to the space available HERE. NONE of this has been taken into considera􏰀on for these designs amongst so many other things, LIKE SNOW. Now the city has a special machine(s) and laborer(s) JUST to plow the bike lanes….probably a few of them to cover all of them. There is no space to store snow.
Strolling through the other plans uploaded to EHQ Produc􏰀on, also designed and in process of implementation as we read this writing. All cities designated as SmartCities. Then I stumbled onto this document, ‘Connected Health: Empowering Health Through Interoperability’. (Link to the document)

The documents merely switch ‘Global Digital Health’ for ‘Smart City Design’…like they’re synonyms. No more HIPAA protections, as this will be a GLOBALLY accessible (hackcessible) system that we do not have a right to opt out. ALL of this collected data is being stored and managed IN CHINA.
Many people approach this with ‘I have nothing to hide’. Many of us are in that boat. BUT, none of us have realized that WE are NOT the ones in charge. THEY do not think like US. WE are not the ones deciding how this information is used, OWNED BY THEM or PROTECTED. What about HIPAA???
What we have lost in understanding ‘who is in charge’ is that NONE of this incessant data collection is for our good or to give you an award. The term they use ‘Interoperability’ = ‘ABILITY to do normal everyday things as long as you obey’. ALL of this is sponsored by Globalists and intended to achieve 15-minute cities – sooner than you think.
In other words – No more spontaneous trips. No more travel or hiking up North for the weekend. Many believe this is good, but imagine you had surgery and cannot walk. Uber cannot come to your door because no cars are allowed. Your accounts are low because you cannot work and did not expect being laid up. Take-out or delivery isn’t affordable. Now what?
Ok, you have yielded to not being able to live in a Smart City and want to move. What kind of regulations will we have to go through to do so? Global Digital Health Partnerships are using SmartCities to implement their control over our bodies. If you have not complied with one of these regula􏰀ons because you are injured or impaired at the time, Nurse RoboDog will make sure you comply (under development at Boston Dynamics).
As funny as these things may sound now, overzealous billionaires are punishing YOU for aging and paying your taxes in a city that should be YOUR HOME and mine. Instead we are led with the reality that somMeone else has taken over from another state, another country or another planet; but definitely NOT somMeone from SOMERVILLE.
In a Series of Convenient Coincidentces some ‘events’ have occurred, speeding along the implementation of these ‘SmartCities’. One of these locations is Vina Del Mar in Chile, South America. They even have a headquarters set up there:

Another intended SmartCity is in Maui, Hawaii:
Something BOTH cities (Maui and Chile) have in common with Somerville, Massachusetts:

Here’s why some street lights on I-93 — and around Boston — are bright purple

These lights are supplied by a subsidy of Phillips, Signify. A Alsousingothersub-namebrandssuchasAcuity.

Signify’s web site and the technology they provide to resellers, like Acuity:
For those of you that may not know, IoT = Internet of Things. We are considered a very messy, diseased one of those Things.
Maui’s experience has an eerie DPW resemblance to a familiar place…..Somerville…

Many people approach data collection to the Nano-BioScale with ‘I have nothing to hide’. Many of us are in that boat. BUT, none of us have realized that WE are NOT the ones in charge. WE are not the ones deciding how this informa􏰀on is used or PROTECTED. What about HIPAA??? Now any retailer with enough money can purchase your file, more than you know about yourself….thanks to former mayor Joe signing on with this SmartCity plan and taking a job at NECEC to ensure Somerville had the best lighting to keep Joe’s pockets lined. Notice these lights are on during the day? Does that add to his commissions?
What we have lost in understanding ‘who is in charge’ is that NONE of this incessant data collection is for our good or to give you an award. The term they use ‘Interoperability’ = ‘ABILITY to do normal everyday things as long as you obey’. ALL of this is sponsored by the Globalists and intended to achieve 15-minute cities – sooner than you think. The expense to human happiness is the cost of everyone’s happiness.
