There are only two possibilities, #1 and #4. I say that because when Defkalion held a press conference in June 2011, Rossi was there on the stage with them. He agreed with everything they said. After the press conference he spoke with Marianne Macy and others. He seemed jovial. He did not express any reservations. During the conference, Defkalion claimed that his technology is real, and that he had transferred it to them, and they had tested it extensively. There is no doubt that is what they said and what they meant. The documents at their website also say things. Therefore, if they were lying, Rossi also lying -- by omission. By sitting there nodding and agreeing. Later Rossi claimed that Defkalion did not have the technology, but a few weeks later he retracted and said they did have the technology, and his only disagreements with them were financial. Rossi's affairs often resemble a three-ring circus. There is no question about this. There is no middle ground. Either they were both telling the truth in June or they were both lying. Stremmenos says the technology was never transferred. I do not know if he was present at the press conference. If he was, he seems a little crazy to me. Why didn't he say something then? I get a feeling he does not know what is happening at Defkalion, but since I do not know either, I cannot judge. The one thing that Rossi may not know anything about is the tests supposedly being performed by the Ministry of Energy and one other agency. During the press conference, Defkalion claimed that the Ministry was testing the devices, and the Ministry would release reports in a few months. That never happened. Defkalion never explained why. Perhaps they were lying, but I think it is more likely the tests were delayed for some reason. I'm only speculating here but perhaps it is because Defkalion does not have enough money. Most government agencies charge a ton of money for tests of this nature. Perhaps Defkalion cannot pay. Start-up companies often run out of money. Whatever the reason is, I think it was a bad decision on Defkalion's part not to inform the public. When you make an announcement that something important will happen by a given date, and then nothing happens and three months pass, that hurts your credibility. As far as I know, government agencies do not perform tests of this nature in secret. If the tests took place, this is a matter of public record. The results will also be fully public. I do not know about Greece, but in the US any interested citizen can find out about things like this, so it makes no sense to try to hide them. There are FOIA laws in Greece, according to Wikipedia. I do not know the details. I assume some sort of test was either underway or planned, because the Minister of Energy himself was at the press conference, and he was also smiling and acting agreeable. If the Ministry had no knowledge of any tests and no arrangements had been made, I assume he would have said so to reporters after the press conference. It is hard for me to believe that a professional politician would fail to do that. But you never know. - Jed
