Mary, you do not have the current Rossi inter-personal and political dynamics down correctly or even worse maybe you do.
As I see things, Rossi never wanted to reveal the details of his work, but Levi through an appeal to friendship forced Rossi to be more open to revealing information. His need to attract customers also forced some minimal level of revelation. But Rossi always wanted to keep this info flow to a minimum. E-Cat evaluation at the University of Bologna was Levi’s idea because as an academic, Levi’s status in academia requires a degree of verification, openness, publication, and information flow to peers. Now that Rossi is partnered with the US military, The UofP research effort is not needed. Rossi will get all the R&D he would ever want or need from the DOD and it will be kept secret with no possible information leakage. This is the best of all worlds for Rossi. Along with this R&D effort, the DOD will mount an intelligence campaign of duplicity and disinformation to hide their interest in LENR development work much in the same way that the UFO disinformation campaign was used to covertly hide Stealth aircraft development at Area 51 from the Soviet Union. Consistent with this scenario as informed by their past actions, I believe it is highly probable that the DOD will assign field and/or senior level intelligence officers to spread disinformation on various information outlets including web sites that deal with LENR to cover their real defense related efforts on the E-Cat. With Vortex as the premier LENR web information site, this is why I think you are actually an air force major with the appropriate background assigned here to hound this web site, to spread disinformation about the E-Cat, and to cover Rossi’s work for the DOD. In the same way you demand of Rossi, to establish your “good faith” bona fide please provide unsalable and definitive proof to the Vortex community that you are not some DOD shill assigned by the DOD to put the Vortex community off the scent, discourage the development and promulgation of the real story of the E-Cat, Rossi and Defkalion, together with ridiculing and undermining possible replication of the E-Cat.
