* If he still is the only one who knows the "secret ingredient" at that point, then I would definitely start fearing for Rossi's personal safety. The rabbit hole may go deeper than that. There is another even more ominous scenario out there in cyber-space that has been fueled by recent comments from a well-known journalist - concerning the roles of one particular individual on the "Board of Advisors" and his wife. I will not dignify the cynical rumors with actual names or citations, but suffice it to say that it goes something like the Movie "Chain Reaction" . where the culprit organization is the USN, which has had a successful black project underway for 20 years, and has already been powering ships and lasers with Ni-H. As true patriots they must protect this knowledge. The plot is so insidious that the Navy has set up their own 'false front' in the SPAWAR group - to make it appear that they have nothing much more going on than what some would call nickel-and-dime advances in theory and measurements. It is the perfect cover in a way. Not just plausible deniability, but an inside track on everything happening in the field. Following from in front, following from behind. They have also set-up Rossi more or less as a patsy, so as to totally discredit the entire field when the surprise ending is unveiled. Probably at the aforementioned ICCF16. If nothing else, I am already staking my claim on the Hollywood rights to this one, and will be starting the screenplay soon. Send all your dirty LERN gossip my way :-) Tentative title of course, and you heard it first on Vo: "Following From in Front, Leading from Behind." The reprise of Morpheus: . take the red pill - you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit-hole goes. Jones
