I've decided to vote for Mitt Romney and enthusiastically recommend that others, including die-hard Obama and Ron Paul supporters, vote for him. I do with with a vague feeling of nausea because I know I'll be misunderstood. Please let me explain. I'm not kidding. I'm serious as a heart attack about this endorsement: The government's scientific establishment has been suppressing a technology that would disintermediate virtually all centralized structures of civilization: cold fusion. The general elite attitude has been that something that can save the world dare not come out of a podunk university -- let alone one in Utah. There's also the vague unconscious sense that disintermediation on that scale would upset just about every establishment apple-cart, but that's not the proximate reason for the suppression. It's really just religious piety showing obescience to the Ivy League that's the bottom line on why we don't, today, have a completely clean, decentralized and virtually limitless energy source you can by at Home Depot for a few hundred dollars. This is so entrenched in the scientific establishment -- so much of the "church of physics" claim to piety depends on maintaining this falsehood that it really would take Presidential attention to counteract it enough that just private capital, let alone public funding, would be allocated appropriate to the potential.
So what has this to do with Mitt Romney? Mitt Romney has made a comment, about as ignorant is you can get, about cold fusion that is, despite its ignorance, a positive comment. Understand that to the government's physics establishment this is tantamount to a candidate for Pope proclaiming Beelzebub a candidate for Sainthood. Moreover, being a Mormon, he is far from biased against a major discovery coming out of Utah. Although in this particular case the Mormon university, BYU's scientist, Steven Jones, played a significant role in helping the scientific establishment suppress cold fusion, that bit of history is obscure enough that it falls well beyond the abject level of knowledge that Mitt Romney has displayed about cold fusion.
