It can be a fascinating hobby to interpret the meaning behind our Commander in Chief's latest comments. It is, in fact, a hobby I'm equally guilty of creating my own spins as well.
What does one make of the prez's statement: "...on the edge of some amazing breakthroughs all aimed at enhancing our national security and our economic security..." On the surface it certainly does seem to hint at the possibility of some amazing new AE breakthroughs that may soon become a matter of public knowledge, breakthroughs that perhaps the Bush administration is already privy to. Here's one scenario: In regards to Bush's recent AE comments someone over at the hydrino discussion group speculated on the possibility that the president (or perhaps someone high in his administration) may have discreetly visited the labs at Blacklight Power Inc. Many of us who have carefully watched recent developments at BLP are keenly aware of the fact that Dr. Mills has within the last few months made several bold statements, such as: * * * * * "Based on our current power-density, energy balance, and hardware requirements, I believe that a substation-sized unit can readily be built. "As in the past, the time frame is qualified with the condition that the world gets behind this. It will take a very long time for us to do it on our own." See: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SCQM/message/133 Or, in answer to critics, Dr. Mills stated: "We'll work on a paper that gives the details of a power cell to replicate." See: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SCQM/message/152 * * * * * But getting back to Bush's recent speeches, we can "spin" this kind of rhetoric endlessly precisely because it is so malleable. It was politically designed to be interpreted any way one wishes. In my view, what it really boils down to is whether Bush's recent statements were primarily designed to help bolster national confidence at a time when we as a nation are "fretting", or is his administration actually privy to knowledge the general public may not yet be aware of. Occams razor as well as past performance of the current administration tends to suggest that it likely to be the former explanation - that they remain, for the most part, clueless. However, I'm not 100% convinced of that. It really would be nice to be proven wrong on this. Regards, Steven Vincent Johnson www.orionworks.com zazzle.com/orionworks
