Cold Fusion and MIT’s Scientific Terrorism

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 20^th century.
