>From Terry: > Krivit extorted Levi?!?
I doubt that. Nevertheless, it would seem obvious that both Levi and Rossi are pissed off as a result of their contact with Krivit. At present we don't know why. We don't know the specifics. Perhaps Krivit will eventually clarify his POV on this matter at New Energy Times. Meanwhile, it would seem that Levi is taking his own measures. While all of this sounds rather dramatic (certainly at the moment) I suspect what actually transpired between Krivit, Levi, and Rossi will come down to nothing more than personal interpretation. I suspect it will soon blow over as more momentous news forces "personal interpretation" out of the limelight. The impression I'm left with is that perhaps Rossi & Levi may have had second thoughts soon after granting Krivit an interview many months ago. (Perhaps they didn't even know at the time they granted Krivit an interview of his strong support of the Widdom-Larsen theory, but I really dunno.) However, they couldn't honorably back out of a promised interview, not without creating additional bad press that they could not afford to generate right now. They know Krivit has a newsletter and a blog site where personal impressions are reported on. They realize Krivit has a readership. Personal impressions posted at blog sites can generate both good press as well as extremely bad press. This is mere speculation on my part but it seems to me that Rossi (and Levi) may have attempted to minimize their interactions with Krivit by granting him the equivalent of a time-constrained bare-bones tour of the premises, as well as a plain vanilla interview. I can sympathize with Krivit's efforts. I'm sure he put a lot of planning into it. I'm sure it generated a strong sense of high anticipation, one that Krivit hoped would soon bare considerable fruit. I know I would have held high expectations. I suspect that if I were in Krivit's shoes, and particularly while I was being given "the tour", I would have sensed the fact that I was probably being given the brush off. That would have pissed me off. While it always remains the goal that every investigative reporter tries to remain impartial on what they observe and subsequently report on, personal impressions & disappointment (flavored by a little bit of ego) can always creep in between the cracks. Nobody is immune to the flaws of human nature. Certainly not me. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
