It is truly amazing and scary to see how much power and influences the
skeptics have. Most ordinary people could not cause the suppression
these people can accomplish. For example, Pons was hounded out of the
Univ. of Utah, Bockris came close to losing his Distinguished
Professorship position, Miley lost funding from the DOE and almost
lost his job as editor of Fusion Technology, and Hagelstein was denied
tenure, all because of their interest in CF . Apparently academic
freedom only operates in theory at many universities. I think an
interesting study could be made of why skepticism has so much power
compared to what is claimed to be good science based on an open minded
evaluation of observation. Why are people who clearly violate the
standards of science, rational discussion, and honesty given any
influence at all? This question has an especially obvious application
to politics.

I guess it is safe to conclude that the video and other info will
not be returned. It is also safe to conclude that this is
suppression because they not only removed the video, abstract and
PowerPoint slides, they even removed the title! It is ridiculous to
claim that the title is "not available."
