        Dear Richard, 
        
          
        
        The entire purpose of 
        the MEG and similar "energy from the vacuum" systems is to allow a 
        DECENTRALIZED powering of our homes, factories, etc.  In the terrorist 
        war we are now in, and which we will be in for a period of years, the 
        huge centralized energy infrastructure and system we have built up is 
        deadly vulnerable in the extreme.  An example:  Nearly 20% or so of all 
        the domestic U.S. oil passes through a single 800 mile pipeline above 
        ground in Alaska.  Not too long back, a hunter fired a high powered 
        rifle bullet into it, and it penetrated and sprang a leak.  Devil of a 
        time fixing it.  Now consider what a dozen determined men, each with 
        five C4 packages equipped with 4 hour timers, could do to that line.  
        They could cut it wide open in a couple dozen widely separated places, 
        in a single concerted furtive strike in a single night.  And be well 
        away from there when the thing exploded in all those places.  God knows 
        when our fellows would ever get that one fixed and working again. You 
        can appreciate the immediate impact at the gas pump, the power stations, 
        etc. 
        
          
        
        And that's only the 
        beginning.  Another example: 
        
          
        
        Another substantial 
        percentage of our domestic oil comes from the rigs in the Gulf of 
        Mexico.  20,000 miles of pipeline laid under the ocean there to carry 
        the oil.  To a single port in Louisiana, down a single 2-lane STATE 
        highway, most of the supplies, support, equipment, maintenance, and 
        crews for those oil rigs pass.  More than 1,000 18-wheelers pass into 
        and out of that single port every day, down that stupid little road just 
        barely above the water level, with lots of bridges.  So stated the lady 
        Senator from Louisiana in testimony to the Senate.  Consider  six 
        fellows with the same C4 packages with timers, doing a number on a dozen 
        of those bridges.   Also put a couple frogmen in the water with 
        explosive C4 packages to go after several of the key underwater pipe 
        lines.  That would take out another big chunk of our domestic oil. 
         
        
          
        
        Indeed, one could take 
        out 20 % of our total national oil supply in a single coordinated dual 
        strike on that highway in Louisiana and that pipeline in Alaska.  That's 
        a piece of cake for a really well-trained military group. 
        
          
        
        You see the point.  
        The day of the centralized power system and grid is finished, if this 
        nation wishes to survive.   Otherwise, we will lose this new war on 
        terrorism, and we will lose it quickly as soon as the major in-country 
        assets of the terrorist-backing nations are professionally and carefully 
        committed.  There are already somewhere between 20,000 and 40,000 
        trained terrorists and guerrillas that have been infiltrated into the 
        U.S. over the past few decades.  Castro along sent in some 10,000 
        guerrillas, from the training camps he operated in Southern Mexico for 
        several decades.  At least half of them are still loyal and waiting for 
        the word. 
         
        
          
        
        Read Lunev's book.  In 
        all our major cities, there are already nuclear weapons hidden, sent in 
        by the former Soviet Union before its collapse.  These are from 20 KT to 
        40 KT, mostly -- each bigger than the first atomic bomb dropped on Japan 
        in WW II.  The Spetznaz teams are also in place to detonate those nukes, 
        if and when the KGB gives the order. 
        
          
        
        The first phase of any 
        major strategic strike is to deliver the weapons of mass destruction to 
        their distant targets.  The second phase, we might say, is to detonate 
        or unleash the weapons at those distant sites to destroy their targets. 
        
          
        
        In that sense, the 
        first phase of WW III is already finished.  We are simply awaiting the 
        second phase button to be pushed.  President Bush knows this, and that 
        is why he declared war on terrorism worldwide, and why it is not limited 
        to Afghanistan or any other area. 
        
          
        
        Some of the terrorist 
        teams already have anthrax and smallpox.  If smallpox is unleashed on a 
        single major city anywhere on Earth, it will eventually kill nearly 2 
        billion people.  That's nearly one-third the human population. 
        
          
        
        Now that we are at war 
        (and you will see more U.S. casualties than we have lost in all the 
        other wars in our history, if we do not win this thing or control it), 
        you can see how deadly vulnerable we are to destruction of our 
        electrical power grid and our energy infrastructure.  That's why the 
        formation of a homeland defense, still very embryonic but at least 
        finally underway. 
        
          
        
        And that is why my 
        colleagues and I continue to be so totally committed to doing our utmost 
        to get our MEG research finished and the MEG into production and on the 
        world market.  Time is of the essence. 
        
          
        
        You can also see why 
        we absolutely have to have decentralized generation systems, and 
        quickly.  Certainly by the 
        end of 2004, COP>1.0 systems and self-powering systems had better be 
        rolling off the production lines and going into the field on site.  
        Whether it's the MEG or other systems, it has to be done and it has to 
        be done quickly.  Bedini and I have also filed the world's first patent 
        application on a process for close-looping a COP>1.0 system for 
        self-powering.  It is a difficult problem, but Bedini solved it.  I 
        merely contributed the recognition of the technical mechanism and how it 
        works.  Bedini also can put a range of power systems into production, 
        anytime he has the funding and the technical team needed. 
        
          
        
        Sadly, our poor 
        scientific community still has its head very much on backwards, and it 
        is part of the problem rather than part of the solution. 
        
          
        
        Nonetheless, we will 
        do our best to get it done if it is humanly possible.  So will several 
        other fellows I know who do have other COP>1.0 systems that could be 
        rapidly developed and produced.  This is not a one man or one group 
        show.  It's a survival test for the entire nation, and we are looking 
        headlong at the locomotive rushing down the track straight at us. 
        
          
        
        Very best wishes, 
        
          
        
        Tom Bearden
