Unfortunately, if Rossi did the following:
1) hired a bunch of actors to pretend to be the customer reps,
2) created an elaborate year-long special-effects-derived series of demos,
3) bribed, hypnotised or otherwise fooled Focardi, Levi, Kullander, Essen, Bianchini, Stremmenos
4) arranged for Piantelli, Miley and a host of others to try to fool the world into thinking that cold fusion was real,
5) got NASA, SPAWAR, The Defense Threat Reduction Agency and The Defense Intelligence Agency to say nice things about the field,
6) got Bushnell to make a fool of himself,
7) and convinced his former partners to set up another company called Ampenergo to pretend that they had a contract for The Americas for a substantial sum ----- or that they just did this with no proof because they have worked with Rossi and trust him because he’s such a fine fellow,
8) sold his profitable company to his ex-partners in order to spend that wealth on a multi-million dollar scam; ----- certain that once he got all the above ducks in a row he would pretend to sell the first device ----- and then reel in the true target of his dastardly plan
9) and convinced a bunch of Greek crooks to set up a dummy company called Defkalion ----- to pretend to fight with him over the non-existent eCat, ----- to perpetuate the illusion and spin it off into a competing mirror-scam
[the second (this time genuine) buyer of a 1MW plant that will net him $2 million dollars ----- until they want their money back or sucker a $100 million dollar deal under the table ----- because he has experience in pulling the wool over all these idiotic eyes ----- and knows that they will just take his word for it ----- and not want to test if his 1MW plant can heat a small village without truckloads of coal or oil or a big fat electric cable coming into the container from beneath the floor (no you can’t lift the carpet!) ]
10) and that, in order to pull this off, Rossi had to risk discovery by interviewing all the people he subsequently fooled so that he could only invite the gullible Professors and not the brilliant anonymous posters on the Internet who surely would have found him out
then, yes, all bets are off and I’m with the guys who think that Rossi is an idiot and they are all geniuses.
Glad you were able to repost this, because I think the NI development is quite significant. I’ve had the opportunity to meet and spend a day with Dr. Truchard (”Dr. T”) and while NI may not be a household name, he has built it to over a billion dollars in revenue, created thousands of jobs, and NI has become the worldwide standard in test and measurement software. You don’t do that by being a dummy who gets tied up in harebrained scams. Truchard earned a B.S. and an M.S. in physics, and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and is a great example of American exceptionalism.
If Dr. T is willing to link his company’s reputation with E-CAT (as the email excerpt proves), that says a lot.
And, for those who enjoy crapping all over ECAT threads, please enlighten us as to where you received your PhD and earned your first million dollars, thanks.
The original press release indicated that Rossi is buying parts from National Instruments.
Somehow that has morphed into an article with absolutely no quotes or links to a press release that refers to a major scoop, states that the author will be “careful of assuming too much” and then provides a perfect setup for people to imply that National Instruments believes the ecat machine works.
Honestly, I am not surprised that the ecat people would hype a very routine transaction into a major deal, then suddenly develop amenesia to become very vague on what the agreement actually was but insist that whatever it was, it means the ecat works.
So, National Instruments isn't Rossi's "secret company".
Who writes this drivel?
