MIT enjoys a reputation as one of America’s scientific and
technology crown jewels, but it is in reality a bastion of Lysenko's acolytes
spreading lies and disinformation about the world’s most important energy
technology since the advent of crude oil. We are talking, of course, about Cold Fusion.
Low rent intellects infest all institutions of “higher”
learning, but MIT excelled in the person of Ron Parker who was the head of the
MIT Plasma Fusion Center in charge of the Tokamak project investigating hot
fusion technologies. But why was Parker so hostile to cold fusion that he would
enlist the university’s vast resources to burying such a promising scientific
breakthrough?
We remember in the late 1980s when the Wall Street Journal published excited
articles about the announcements coming from the University of Utah and its
star scientists Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons that they had discovered a
method of producing cold fusion in a test tube – to somewhat overstate the
case.
We also remember that its enthusiasm turned to skepticism when
the publicity department of MIT, and those of fellow travelers at such places as
the California Institute of Technology, opened a torrent of criticism against the
discovery.
The sin of the scientists was to threaten the status quo
with technology which might render hot fusion obsolete and turn off the spigot gushing vast
millions spent on it. More to the point, the discovery had the potential for
ending the lavish perks and income of many of the so-called scientists pursuing
hot fusion.
Jim Fetzer reports on his site the story of the late Eugene
Malove, who resigned from the MIT press office in disgust over the school’s
fraud, and who documented the corruption of Parker and his office.
Some of the more childish pranks included holding a wake for
Cold Fusion, but more serious assaults included enlisting newsfakers at NBC and
the Boston Herald to run hit pieces on the emerging technology – labeling it “possible
fraud” and junk science.
The most serious act of Lysenko thuggery came from the fake
experiments Parker and his colleague conducted to discredit the science. Malove
discovered, in a premonition of Climategate, that 2 alterations of data were
made to prove that Cold Fusion was a fraud. Even the adulterated evidence
demonstrated an excess of heat produced using Cold Fusion techniques.
While NASA, itself another bastion of fakery, has labeled
Cold Fusion as Low Energy Nuclear Reactions, the truth is quite different as
E-Cat has created a device capable of generating kilowatts and more of energy.
The proof is in the pudding as they say.
Hank Mills and Sterling Allan, the two sources for Fetzer’s
article, document numerous statements from so-called scientists lambasting the
discoveries of Pons and Fleischmann, including the odious statement by
Lysenkoist Ronald George Ballinger who stated that any scientist subsequently
proving Cold Fusion would be an embarrassment if associated with the technology’s
discovering scientists.
There are a couple of disturbing points from this fraud
which Mills and Allan make, and which we would like to amplify. MIT and their
co-conspirators produced a fraud of criminal proportions by murdering a
promising science in its infancy - modern day Herrods. Fortunately the truth is slowly starting to
trump the Lysenkoist ignorance of MIT, Cal Tech, and others, as the E-Cat
products demonstrate, but the loss of time and knowledge is an unforgiveable
indictment of MIT’s tawdry behavior – nay, crimes against humanity.
The larger problem is the endemic fraud in the nation’s
universities who are often revered as defenders of the scientific method. Such
delusions are evidence of bunny land mentality. Even if Cold Fusion turned out not to be what Pons and Fleischmann thought, the knee jerk reaction of burying the findings of 2 respected scientists is unconscionable. It was the true closing of the American mind.
The American Chronicle goes on record defending the
integrity and the brilliance of Pons and Fleischmann as well as the value of
their finding of Cold Fusion, perhaps the most important scientific discovery
of the 20th century.
