Stop Smart Meters Woodstock NY aka TheTruthsayers Story
(Links to other groups on bottom of page)
My name is Steve Romine and I live in Woodstock New York since 1984. When I moved into this particular house in 2008, the landlord had a new electrical service installed upgrading from 60 amp service to 100 amp service . I didn't notice back then but the electro-mechanical analog electric utility meter that was on the house before the upgrade was switched out and replaced with a transmitting/digital/smart utility meter by the utility (Central Hudson) without my informed consent or knowledge. In about 2013 my girlfriend, Raji Nevin and now partner, moved in with me. Once moved in she began to experience nausea, vertigo and headaches. We were very concerned with all these profoundly worrisome symptoms .
We had heard from a friend that the digital/transmitting/smart utility meter might be causing the problem. We did the research and found that in California where there had been a roll out of these smart meters for the previous 5 years, people were complaining of adverse health effects. We researched the symptoms and found that the complaints of California's electric utility consumers were the same symptoms as Raji was experiencing. We also discovered that these are classic symptoms of microwave radiation exposure originally coined "microwave sickness" . The condition now is labelled "electrosensitive".
We discovered that we had a smart utility meter on our home after looking the model number up on General Electric website. We had a GE I-210 General Electric smart utility meter , one of the three models listed in the " 210 Smart Meter Family" of electric utility meters on GE's product info page.
I called Central Hudson the next day and was told by customer service that smart meters are not approved by the N.Y, Public Service Commission yet for deployment in New York so it cannot be a smart meter and that what we had on our home was an "ERT meter."
I then called General Electric Corporation's main office and spoke with three technical representatives in the smart meter division on three separate phone calls. I was told by three different tech reps that the GE I-210 is definitely a smart meter and that no one in the field calls them "ERT meters." They said the GE I-210 is a transmitting/digital/smart utility meter with an ERT module making it a one way communicating smart meter. Such utility meters are actually called Automated Meter Reader or AMR and is listed on page 7 fig 1 as a first generation smart meter in the Utility Telecom Councils publication "Smart Meters and Smart Meter Systems (document link posted on bottom of this page).
We obtained by purchase a High Frequency analyzer meter which measures microwave radiation exposure. I measured the GE I-210 digital/smart meter emissions and they were much higher than the recommended exposures by the latest research report, The Bioinitiative Report of 2012 ( color chart posted below). We also learned that The World Health Organization in 2011 has classified electromagnetic radiation, which is what is emitted from transmitting digital smart utility meters, a "possible cause of cancer" the same as Lead, Benzene and DDT, and should be reclassified to a "probable cause of cancer" according to ex-WHO chief scientist Anthony Miller PhD (video posted on bottom of this page).
We then realized Central Hudson was not being honest with us. We obtained legal documents and mailed them Central Hudson notarized/certified/return receipt requested. On March 21st ,2013 we sent a legal Notice and Demand for Removal of All Digital Electric Meters Emitting Radiation and Loss of Easement Through Criminal Misconduct . Central Hudson was given 14 days to remove said smart utility meter and replace it with time tested safe analog electric utility meter, or acting in self defense under the protections of the US constitution, I would have to do the requested removal and installation myself.
On April 9th, 2013 we sent a legal " Notice of Default and a Warning of Liability." Central Hudson and chief execs was notified that they had defaulted for not responding to the claims set forth in the legal notice and thus through acquiescence agreed with the terms and conditions
We sent Central Hudson a total of 5 sets of lawful notices over the course of several months . At no time did Central Hudson, acknowledge the lawful notices or try to contact me and attempt to resolve the situation in anyway (check out "Smart Meter Lawsuit" page).
Over the course of several months we sent those lawful notices demanding removal of the smart meter 5 times. my partner Raji Nevin had a mini-stroke standing 10 feet at an angle of 45 degrees from the GE I-210 smart transmitting meter that was on the front our house near the front door so everyone coming in or out of our house or standing in the front yard was being exposed to the radiation besides getting affected inside the house. Northern Dutchess County Hospital ,where I brought Raji for medical observation and treatment, stated after 2 days of admittance and observation that she appeared to be in perfect health and they didn't know why she had a mini-stroke. They did warn us upon leaving the hospital that because she had a mini-stroke she is at high risk for a major stroke in the next 90 days which could mean major disability or even possibly death.
Now we were both really worried and went home from the hospital after Raji was discharged and began to research microwave exposure symptoms. Our research showed us that chronic exposure to low level microwave radiation can cause heart attacks and strokes. Realizing that Raji was standing in front of the transmitting digital/smart/utility meter, I understood I had no choice but to remove the smart utility meter before Raji has another stroke.
I turned off the power to the house with the main breaker. I put wooden pallets on the ground with heavy thick rubber mat's on top. I stood on that and wearing rubber gloves I removed the transmitting digital/smart meter and replaced it with a re-manufactured safe electro-mechanical analog electric utility meter that surpasses the the ANSI Standards that the Public Service Commission uses to approve electric utility meters for use in New York.
All of the above activity of removal of smart utility meter and installation of the time tested safe non-transmitting analog meter was recorded by video documenting the last readings on the digital smart meter and the proper operation of the safe analog utility meter showing the dial spinning and electricity flowing. Our home had available electrical power for four days from the proper installation of the analog meter with no problems.
On May 16th,2013 we sent a a package containing Central Hudson's smart meter along with another set of legal documents ,"Demand for Removal" and "Notice of Default" accompanied with a DVD documenting the removal of said smart utility meter and the installation of the re-manufactured, refurbished and re-calibrated safe electro-mechanical analog utility meter produced by Hialeah Meter Company. Their standards surpass surpass the standards set by the NY Public Service Commission. All of this was mailed to Central Hudson Headquarters attention to James P. Laurito and Steven V. Lant, chief executives.
Then on May 20th, 2016 Central Hudson came to our home to disconnect us against our protests and proceeded to cut the wires at the pole, where they hung for 6 years while we were deprived of electrical service. It didn't seem to matter to Central Hudson that someone in the house was recovering from a stroke, they disconnected us anyway instead of simply inspecting and testing the installation of our refurbished analog meter or installing one of their own used analog utility meters, which they had the choice of doing but refused . Other electrical work can be done by anyone in Ulster County but needs to to be inspected by an electrical inspector. Central Hudson has the ability to test meters to see if they are operating properly. At that point is the only time Central Hudson called us about our claims. At no time previous to my seeking them to correct the situation did they call me to work things out. When they finally called us they did so to threaten to have me arrested. I said I know my constitutional rights to self defense and that is why I removed the unsafe smart utility meter from our home as someone in the house was being affected adversely and was recovering from a stroke. The chief execs at Central Hudson refused to accommodate our health emergency. .
It should be noted that I suffered with severe neck pain, charlie horse cramps in my legs in the middle of the night when I was sleeping and slight heart palpitations periodically upon retiring to bed. All these symptoms can be caused by exposure to low levels of microwave radiation. Before I knew about the smart meter being on my home I took 400 milligrams of Ibuprofen morning and night for 1 and 1/2 years to self- medicate away the pain from the neck as I couldn't afford a doctor and I didn't have any health insurance. . The anxiety from the symptoms was incredibly worrisome. I removed the smart utility meter off of our house to protect my partner Raji Nevin from a possible major stroke. I had no idea that in doing so my symptoms just described would disappear and not return for over 6 years now.
My life was turned upside down and the emotional damage and psychological impact on me from worry over my partner Raji was extremely difficult. Central Hudson adamantly refused to issue us a safe analog utility meter and demanded that we accept a GE I -210 smart utility meter back on our home , which would have put my partner Raji Nevin at significant risk again. Furthermore Central Hudson demanded that we pay a $500 disconnect/reconnect fee before they would reconnect our power. Besides many common law and civil law violations our constitutional rights were violated as well as International Rights established in Nuremberg Treaty called the "Nuremberg Code", and agreed to by all the developed nations in the world including the U.S.
Once the digital utility meter was taken off of our home Raji gradually recovered 90% and has not has another stroke since but now suffers with electrosensitivity and reported by other people who had a smart meter installed on their homes (see Dr. Frederica Lamech Study posted on bottom of page). All my ailments mentioned did not return and I have been symptom free for 7 years now. We know for a fact these smart meters cause harm.
Having had all these experiences revolving around involuntary exposures to man-made pulsing artificial electromagnetic microwave radiation, Raji Nevin founded the Smart Meter Forum monthly meeting 6 in 2013, which recently has been renamed the Truthsayers Forum. I launched the original stopsmartmeterswoodstockny.com website, also known now as "The Truthsayers" . I have two lawsuits pending against the past chief executives of the Utility, the Utility: Central Hudson, the parent company; Fortis Inc., and the New York State Public Service Commission. I have a weekly radio show on an independent , commercial free, community, progressive radio station Woodstock 104 (104.1 FM) called the "Woodstock Truth Squad," which broadcasts into parts of the Hudson valley in New York. I will eventually be posting audio links of the show on this website on the archives page.
Between all the cumulative microwave radiation exposure from the massive proliferation of wireless devices and their need for an intense infrastructure like the 5G small cell transmitters and the global non-stop covert program of geoengineering , all biological life is under assault and we all need to get educated on the issues so we can effectively take action. The time is now to do your part and become a "truthsayer" speaking "truth to power". Join us, however you can, in this epic fight for survival and the ability to live a healthy life in these challenging toxic times.
