The whole issue of suppression would be put to rest if someone actually
built a commercial cold fusion technology. How can you suppress something
that is being sold at WalMart? I think it's a matter of cold fusion being a
laboratory curiosity at the moment, a rather abstract one at that to most
people, about as interesting as molecular biology or particle physics. Even
if cold fusion can be observed at minute levels, as many of us in this forum
believe it can, it makes no difference to the general public or most of the
government for that matter. I'd chalk it up to more or less government
incompetence and disinterest, with a sprinkle of suppression thrown in.
Certainly the U.S. government hasn't been promoting cold fusion research or
developments (as we all know they have closed the patent office to cold
fusion and haven't provided an official avenue for funding), so we can't say
they are promoting cold fusion in any way. We know they have some interest
in cold fusion because the U.S. Navy has been researching cold fusion and
there have been questions raised about national security and cold fusion. I
wouldn't be at all surprised if someday it is revealed that there has been a
"black budget" cold fusion project of some sort in the U.S. Government. In
fact, that is highly likely as these energy barons and national security
parnoidiacs certainly would want to see what cold fusion is really about for
their own purposes.
I'd say, that the U.S. government's disinterest in cold fusion is part of a
broader policy of promoting the interests of big oil over all other
competing energy technologies. We could almost as easily argue that the
government is suppressing electric vehicles that could essentially put big
oil out of business, as they show no interest in developing electric
vehicles either. It will be up to the private sector and more likely
enthusiasts and concerned citizens to bring cold fusion and electric
vehicles to the market. David and Goliath.

Subject: Re: CF Suppression?
I find myself more in sympathy with Ed's skeptical point of view on the
matter of whether the government has actively conspired to suppress CF
knowledge as compared to tantalizing questions of "inconsistencies"
suggested by the esteemed Mr. Beene. Granted, I could be wrong. Maybe there
really is a conspiracy or two lurking behind the walls, but my gut feeling
says no.
I've spent a considerable amount of time smoozing with all sorts of folks
who hang out in the highly contentious UFO community. Over there, a new
conspiracy seems to be born every other day. Without fail most of the UFO
related conspiracies have one thing in common: "The Government" doesn't
want us to know what's really going on. You know, Dogs and Cat's marrying
each other, which, in turn, would cause society to unravel at the seams.
I can only suggest that it is important not to underestimate the power of
IGNORANCE, and its partner DENIAL, to act as the proxy behind what is
perceived as "conspiracies" to suppress information attributed to the
government.
This is not to say nor do I mean imply that the government is not above
suppressing information it deems as not suitable for public consumption,
particularly if it is considered an issue of national security or an
embarrassment. (Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.)
A good example of someone who obviously has stumbled across some truly
extraordinary physical effects, see the Hutchison effect. There are some
updated files out at American Antigravity. See:
http://www.americanantigravity.com/articles/214/1/Hutchison-Materials-Effects-Photos
or
http://tinyurl.com/8cjla
There are new downloadable photos in ZIP format showing bizarre effects
done to solid metal bars produced in Hutchison's lab. How could the
government not be aware of what Hutchison has managed to do to solid
metal. However, due to Hutchison's apparent lack of being able to follow
anything close to what might be considered a linear scientific approach he
has no idea how to reproduce his unique effects on a consistent basis. I'm
sure this is precisely how the government would like to keep things, too.
I understand he has had on occasion government personnel dropping by to
observe the effects, and then they go away. I doubt Hutchison has received
any support and/or encouragement from government sources to continue his
research. Whenever possible it's best to simply ignore the troublesome
individual rather than risking the possibility of making him disappear and
all the unwanted questions and publicity that might generate. Meanwhile,
since his results remain spurious (just like!
many original CF claims) most scientists will never take Hutchison Effect
seriously, leaving the government free to discreetly tinker away in their
own labs where hopefully a more scientific and linear approach is being
followed.
Is this happing with CF as well? My vote is, "no" but I could be wrong.
