Assume for the sake of argument there is a conspiracy against cold
fusion. Something lurid! They meet periodically at the Fusion Power
Associates and divvy up nefarious marching orders . . . To do what?
Who are their agents, and what have they been up to all these years?
We are talking about people like Huizenga, Taubes, Morrison, Lemonick
and Robert Park. Look what they published! Look at this:

Yes, that is the best they can come up with. Heck, I could write a
more persuasive attack on cold fusion in my sleep.
These books and papers are a gift to cold fusion. We should be
thankful. I am pleased to upload such stuff to LENR-CANR.org. If we
must have enemies -- and Fleischmann and I think that was inevitable
-- then let us be glad they are certified idiots.
Look at DoE panel member #15, who said that cold fusion has no
credibility because it was discussed in Popular Mechanics. Is that
the best he could come up with? (Yup!) Look at the nitwits who
control Wikipedia. And what has the conspiracy accomplished lately?
In 2009 it persuaded Richard Garwin to go on "60 Minutes" and say
something that makes no technical sense, which contradicts his own
report to the DoE. In short, he made himself look like a fool and
liar. If I had written a script for him, I could not have made him
look worse. Since he is determined to oppose us, I am delighted he
does it so badly. In 2010 the conspiracy may have dragged Steve
Krivit over to the dark side. Oh, scary!!! What will he do to us???
Hey, the conspiracy can have him. His "sell-by date" is expired (to
borrow a trendy phrase from Japanese).
The Watergate conspiracy was real. Fortunately, the conspirators were
idiots. Their first major assignment was to purloin information from
the Democratic National Committee (DNC). I happen to know a lot about
the DNC. As Will Rogers said, it is "not an organized political
party." It wasn't in 1935; it wasn't in 1972, and it isn't now.
Anyone could penetrate the DNC! The Watergate "Plumbers" might have
assigned an agent to volunteer there. Their agent would have had
access to any document in the place, and he or she would have
overheard all important policy discussions. For that matter, the
Plumbers themselves might have walked into the DNC headquarters any
time in broad daylight and taken what they wanted, and no one would
have noticed. Instead, they broke in at night with 2-way radios and
other high tech paraphernalia (circa 1972). Amateurs!
If there is a conspiracy against cold fusion it is being run by
people like the Plumbers.
