Cold Fusion:

The Cold War Within

The very phrase is getting to be enough to cause expressions of raised eyebrows and eyes rolled back-- and probably for all the wrong reasons. The famous experiment of Drs. Pons and Fleischman in producing “tabletop nuclear fusion” may have been a virtually fradulent misrepresentation of scientific possibilities, but if the idea gets thrown in the “cranks and quacks” category, that should be why-- not because the idea is over discussed, not because it is still alleged to be an “impossibility” by a formidable number of “knowledgeable” scientists.

In spite of the fact that the news of this experiment may have generated worthwhile interest in a number of areas, perhaps leading to interest in muonated exotic matter molecules (perhaps extending from tight-muon orgital theories of cold fusion), for example, amid the grotesque mountain of paperwork devoted to explaining it within the context of the premises of the original experiment, a glance at standard public school teaching materials may provide us with a far more sensible explanation, if not a more complicated one.

Palladium, which was used for the rods in the original experiment is one of a number of elements in the pediodic table which, when finely divided, for example powdered, exhibits a property known as Occlusion, where protons- atoms of hydrogen without an orbital electron, get absorbed into the crystal structure of the atoms, and causes heat to be released before they successfully find their way out.

What may be most likely it that the palladium rod in the experiment was exhibiting this property without the benefit of being finely divided, but rather by virtue of the attraction that electrons travelling through the material (the negative charge of the electrons attracting the opposite charge of the protons), exerted on hydrogen in the water.

This would make the use of deuterium and deuterated water irrelevant in both theory and practice.

Furthermore, this property of occlusion is also exhibited by platinum, and again, it is likely that passing current through the platinum may remove the necessity of finely dividing the material.

But there is more.

Platinum and palladium have long been used in chemistry, as Catalysts, materials which cause change or reactions without themselves being affected. In many of these instances, there is no necessity to pass current through them whatsoever, or such current may be self- induced by the electrochemical properties of the reaction itself.

The value of platinum as a catalyst extends to the Catalytic Converters which are standard equipment on modern automobiles.

Likewise, hand warmers being sold for a number of years already using iron filings and coconut oil may also be examples of occlusion, as hydrogen from a hydrocarbon (the coconut oil), are trapped within a metallic lattice.

In other words, “Cold Fusion”, or “Electrically Enhanced Occlusion” or “Exothermic Catalysis” or whatever one wishes to call it, may not require the expensive metals platinum or palladium at all, but rather, in so many words, has “harnessed the power that causes tarnish and rust”, something that has made batteries work for quite some time now!

So this is the Cold War Within, as common knowledge is sworn to secrecy, as our most respected scientists to whom we expect out children to direct admiration and emulation, seem to be granted the right to continue as long as they, likely deliberately, public act as dishonest, or ignorant, or both... and yet for what?

Occlusion cannot be silenced, it is applied everywhere, is has been standard high school chemistry taught for decades! Of all the perversion in silencing information that lives depend on, perhaps the most perverse is the attempt to silence, with misinformation and indirectness, what is already known in its way to everyone.

Furthermore, it can be convincingly debated that this technology has been known here and there for Thousands of years, that it purified food and water for countless of our predecessors, and perhaps served to keep them warm, if not far more purposes. The facades of Artemis of Ephesos mentioned in some of the most dubious passages which exist in the Bible, for the Ephesians demonstrate a devotion to means of the preservation of life that would be Exemplary before the Most Devout of Christians, provided that the proper context of their iconography and symbols is acknowledged and permitted... these facades are likely purifiers water through electrochemical principles, no different than our modern water purification tablets, or silver cleaners, or corrosion removal, with the exception that they are more the product of a less politicized world that still believed that things grew on trees, the ancient examples are Very likely to demonstrate a little more applied intellegence and Far more Efficiency.

Failing this, we indeed conspire against our own young, or there is little difference than if we had.

So this is the legacy we are creating for out children, when and where the aspirations we so diligently fill them with only set them up to feel the sting all the more, of the world we have managed to make for them, in which “peace at any price” has made us slaves of an enemy far worse than any foriegn power which could conquer us, slaves of a power that does not even exist.

Neither does our facade of misdirection and confusion and corruption decieve the knowledgable heads of foriegn powers, nor their scientists, nor do theirs in this way decieve those we have appointed.

So too, do scientists complain of living in the shadow of the fear of the Church, claiming allegiance to a pact made long ago by the Church by the philosopher Descarte, as if their own names were somehow signed to it.

And yet, even if the Church intended this, with such a high profile as they must keep, they could never succeed in this.

Whatever darkness we can next expect to befall those so trained to live in the shadow of their own fears goes without saying; to allow this to continue goes against the deepest teachings of all walks of life.

Worst of all, when this fear invades those aspirations to promote and prolong life, they cannot be thought of by any sane person as any longer contributing to these causes, but indeed they are working against them.

We may be trading our eternities for the hollow promise of a small amount of extra smoothness in our path through life, barring the intrusion of out consciences into such matters. In the final truth, not one of us has rational assurance that there is any life which follows this one, and faith is no true license in any tradition to discard a life which could be spared as if the blessing of life were a mere unwanted candy wrapper.

Peaceful, loving and nurturing Venus has died at the hands of Aries, denied the pioneering of new horizons, without a blow raised or a shot fired. A Goddess is dead. We have made the most unfortunate and avoidable of wars upon ourselves.

The fradulence that fell upon the area of Occulsion as a powerful utility to meet everyday needs, has fallen into other areas literally on the borders of science and the magickal- superconductors... buckminsterfullerenes, soccer-ball molecules of carbon with powerful properties... gravity research... unified feild theories... the list grows on and on.

I do not have this to say to illustrate that it is futile, quite the contrary, to simply emphasize that to recognize what is right in these matters is the most important step in overcoming the wet blanket that suffocates us all. But upon the heels of such a first step, too, let us aspire and be inspired within ourselves to take the steps that follow.

It requires no great intellegence, in fact, and it requires no courage, in fact, merely the most understandable of human qualities, the fear of a life lived in vain.
