Censorship can leave us blind to the realities
A popular, highly revealing Internet video clip on the resurgence of cold fusion has been removed by CBS just days after it was posted. Evidence of media censorship is quite apparent here. I reported on this cold fusion story on April 21st and embedded the fascinating 12-minute CBS clip in the article. You can read my report at this link.
Among other things, the engaging clip showed how CBS's 60 Minutes program had recently hired a highly respected scientist who was quite skeptical of cold fusion to witness and try to debunk the successful table-top nuclear fusion experiments conducted by another dedicated scientist.
Rob Duncan is the vice chancellor of research at the University of Missouri and an expert in measuring energy. Not only was Prof. Duncan unable to show any faults in the many experiments conducted by Michael McKubre, he was most surprised to come back a believer in this amazing phenomenon. The implications for the future of our world are astounding!
He crunched the numbers himself and searched for an explanation other than a nuclear effect. 'I found that the work done was carefully done, and that the excess heat, as I see it now, is quite real,' Duncan said. Asked if was surprised that he'd hear himself saying that, Duncan [responded], 'Very much. I never thought I'd say that.'
You can still read the text of the entire clip on the CBS website, including the story of Prof. Duncan's conversion, at this link. I learned of the disappearence of the video clip through an email today from a supporter. When I went back to the original URL from which I had taken the video, I found that someone at CBS had replaced the 12-minute segment there with a much weaker piece under two minutes. Why? Did someone pressure CBS to take down the much more interesting longer clip?
I then searched the CBS website and found the 12-minute clip listed fourth under their "Most Viewed Videos" section (click here and scroll down). Yet when I clicked on the link (note 'mostpop_video' is part of the link), the video no longer functioned. 70 comments were still posted under the video at the time I looked, but the video was dead. Hopefully you can still read the comments there. The short video which replaced the longer one had only one comment. Hmmmm.
Why was the longer clip taken down, even when it was still listed as the fourth most viewed video on their website? We have documented evidence of this kind of suppression going on for decades with new energy inventions. I saw it happen to a personal friend of mine who is a genius inventor, after he came up with a revolutionary new energy device.
Special addendum 4/25: Likely thanks to the dozens of people who emailed CBS, the 12-minute video clip has now been posted at another link. You can watch it here. We started the campaign to email CBS when this message was posted just after midnight going into 4/24. If you go to the link immediately above, you will see that the video was reposted at 2:35 PM on 4/24, about 14 hours after we started the campaign. Thanks so much to all who emailed and supported us in this.
Among many other unusual happenings, my friend's home and his $7 million company were ransacked, and a bullet was fired through his window. Despite my friend's best efforts, an insider eventually managed to wrest control of this $7 million company away from this genius inventor who had a number of patents to his name. You can read about more suppression in an article on another invention on which I reported just two weeks ago. And for excellent, verifiable information about the history and suppression of new energy inventions, see this engaging two-page essay.
As a replacement for the censored CBS clip, I'm providing below the best documentary on cold fusion yet, called Heavy Watergate. If you want to understand about both how these things are censored and suppressed and the exciting potential for a cleaner, brighter future, this video is well worth watching.
The good news is that with the increasing transparency of the Internet, suppressing these fascinating new discoveries and inventions is becoming ever more difficult. There are dozens of websites covering these topics to which the mainstream media rarely gives much attention.
We can also take advantage of the power of the Internet to spread the word, so that we can break through this kind of censorship. I especially encourage everyone to send CBS a short message using this link to ask why the amazing 60 Minutes video was removed and tell them that you want it back. And please leave a message below if you are successful or get a decent answer. Together, we can make a difference.

Update: The entire 60 Minutes program was streamed at the below link:
joost.com/097vzpn/t/60-Minutes-04-19-09#id=097vfat
Note the date in the link. Yet if you go there now, it defaults to the program on 4-12. Something strange going on here.
Our campaign was successful!!! Besides the above article, I sent a message to the 6,400 people on the WantToKnow.info subscriber list, asking them to email CBS. Over two dozen people emailed, and the video was reposted 14 hours after our campaign started. Yea!!! Thanks so much to all who helped out. Together, we make a difference.
I believe the CBS video became unavailable because of a technical glitch: it was too popular. It was available at first but it froze up at times, so evidently, they moved it to a different server. It is now readily available.
However, another video by the same professor made a week later was censored and erased by the university, including even the title!

Cold fusion has been attacked, censored and suppressed more than any other research in modern history. Thousands of scientists have replicated the effect, and they have published 3,000 papers, but this has led to hundreds of them being persecuted in ways ranging from harassment and not being promoted for 20 years, to being demoted to stock room jobs, to being fired outright. They have been dragged before Congressional investigations for fraud, threatened with criminal prosecution and deportation, and on and on, for year after year. Many careers, lives and marriages have been ruined. The larger tragedy is, of course, is that what may be potentially useful source of energy has no been developed.
All of this is documented in detail at LENR-CANR.org.
Betrayed by voice input . . . I meant to say:
The larger tragedy is, of course, that what may be a potentially useful source of energy has not been developed.
It has been developed to some extent. Remarkable progress has been made on a shoestring, despite rapid opposition due to academic politics. Cold fusion is much closer to being a practical source of energy than Tokamak plasma fusion, clean coal, or a hydrogen economy. But it will take hundreds of millions more to finish the job, and I cannot imagine how that kind of money will be found in the U.S. There are better prospects for funding in China, and possibly the Middle East.
