"Cohen says the Russians have built and tested mini-nukes, and that Americans and Russians are cooperating on pure fusion. He says that a Russian bomb was brought to Los Alamos ("by Federal Express" from a Russian plane in Washington) and successfully TESTED."
What was posted in reply #32 was an excerpt of a larger report of a debate between physiscist Ed Teller and Sam Cohen. Here is another telling paragraph from the debate (for the full text, see the link in reply #32):
"Dr. Teller agreed with most of this--INCLUDING the successful TEST [of a Russian mini nuke] at Los Alamos--but rejected red mercury as "nonsense," possibly "a pure hoax." Cohen was more impressed with the agreement than the disagreement. As he was leaving the building, I heard him say that from now on, he would "quote Teller word for word," and had ordered tapes of the meeting for that purpose.
As acknowledged in reply #32, Teller and Cohen disagree about red mercury. However, both are preiminent physicsists and neither should be dismissed out of hand. Some have even suggested that Teller was covering and that there is more to red mercury than it being a "possible hoax".
Daughter products of irradiated compounds of mercury and antimony oxide left over when red mercury decays may be what Cohen is referring to since Cohen himself stated in the debate that irradiated red mercury has a half life of a couple of days.
Those interested in the subject of red mercury should address their questions to William Jasper, a friend and interviewer of Sam COhen, and a Senior editor at the New American Magazine at 920-749-3789.
Equally significant about the remark's attributed to Ed Teller, is that Teller verified and agreed with Sam Cohen that the Russians were working with US scientists at Los Alamos and had test fired a Russian mini nuke at Los Alamos (what kind of mini nuke- a neutron, thermonuclear or fissile device was not identified). This level and extent of cooperation reflects an administration policy decision that had been known to and made by the President himself.
This is consistent with what I know personally because I refused and objected to an offer of employment at Kirtland AFB next door to Los Alamos from the Reagan/ Bush administration that they told me required my particpation with Russian scientists in US labs on SDI and nuclear devices. I still object to the US and Russian scientists working at our labs on nuclear devices and SDI (missile defense).
Also Cohen has written that he beleives that former President Bush gave the neutron bomb to CHina.
The alleged behavior by Bush with testing of the Russian mini nukes and the giveaway of the neutron bomb with the Chinese is also consistent with Bush's unilateral disarmament of the US neutron bomb in Sept 1991 and his urging that SDI technology be given/shared with Russia and CHina.
His son GW Bush has now unilaterally cut back the dilivery systems of the US nuclear arsenal to dangerous levels below 2500 and has given Putin of Russia operational details of the US missle defense system and has suggested that US and Russia jointly operate the US missile defense system and share development details further(something former President Bush did also).
