        Dear David, 
      
        Many thanks for the kind words. We're 
        still hanging in there, and eventually --- one way or the other --- my 
        associates will get the final development of the MEG financed and 
        finished, and get it on the market. Without fanfare, the efforts to get 
        that to happen are continuing.  Several other inventors who have real 
        COP>1.0 EM systems are also struggling to do the same. 
      
        This latest massive power blackout is 
        just a sample of that which is to come in the national energy field.  
        The various secret EM weapons developments in Russia and elsewhere over 
        the last several decades have resulted in a very strange state of 
        affairs: It is now possible to accomplish at will the dissolution of any 
        and all distant systems, from the large to the quite small.  Simply 
        tickle a few control mechanisms, and the power grid will go berserk.  
        Its stability is very fragile anyway, and for such a highly nonlinear 
        system, the overall control is maintained by very fragile means. The 
        system those fellows have established is a near-perfect example of a 
        highly nonlinear system far from equilibrium, or one that easily goes 
        far from equilibrium from small stimuli.  It's the old "butterfly" 
        effect that nonlinear specialists are familiar with. 
      
        As such, there are two ways of thinking 
        about controlling or trying to control such a system: (1) linear means 
        (which all the electrical engineers have done, primarily), and (2) 
        nonlinear means.  The "linear" disequilibrium system in general tends 
        back toward equilibrium (stability) anyway and so the major control 
        philosophy used in this power complex has been linear thinking.  On the 
        other hand, a nonlinear system when driven far from equilibrium, can and 
        will evolve to one of many new states that are available to it.  It can 
        evolve to a perfectly ordered steady state, e.g., or it can also evolve 
        to a nearly completely disordered chaotic state filled with wild 
        oscillations and completely uncontrollable.  Thermodynamically, all this 
        is well known and is discussed very well in Kondepudi and Prigogine,
        Modern Thermodynamics: 
        From Heat Engines to Dissipative Structures, Wiley, New York, 1998, 
        reprinted with corrections 1999. Prigogine, of course, was a great 
        pioneer in the nonlinear thermodynamics field, and was awarded the Nobel 
        Prize in 1977. 
      
        The present "grid system" thus is 
        fairly easily driven out of any capability for linear control, given a 
        proper stimulus.  As a result, the "protection" or "control" then 
        primarily involves abrupt shutdown of threatened or involved powerplants 
        to "protect the powerplants against being disrupted and damaged or 
        destroyed, at all costs". So basically the system can "control" some 
        small surges and swings, etc., and then if such are exceeded it must 
        abruptly turn off the power plants to protect them. Else the system will 
        just destroy itself and many of its powerplants as well.  Oversimplified 
        a bit, that is the kind of grid and power system we have. 
      
        It's made worse by all the hoopla that 
        occurred politically on what a great thing deregulation was, and one was 
        going to break up the large power companies and foister competition, 
        which would somehow make things lots better and easier and lower costs 
        as well.  So they essentially separated the power production 
        function from the power marketing function and the power distribution 
        function, and gosh knows how the "control" of things got separated when 
        split apart that way. In short, it turned the "power industry" from 
        something trying to prepare and furnish power responsibly 
        under a single monolithic company, with full responsibility from 
        production to delivery, to something with major parts fighting each 
        other and driven by greedy manipulators using energy like stock futures 
        and manipulating the markets for gain. 
      
        Let me give an analogy.  One could make 
        the same argument about a surgical team. Analogous reasoning would be 
        something like this: "Why, goodness sakes, one ought to break up the 
        monopoly (monolithic integrity) of the surgical team so that the 
        surgeon, the assisting surgical nurses, the anesthetists, the hospital 
        controlling the room and facilities, and the other support personnel 
        involved are all independent, bidding against each other in every case, 
        with little or no effective central direction or control, and 
        independently maneuvering for financial advantage and making sudden big 
        bucks off the various surgical operations. Why, my goodness, the old 
        free enterprise system would obviously make that a superior surgical 
        team!" 
      
        The blunt truth is that, for any 
        contiguous system to function well, it has to have overall central 
        control and STRONG central control. In short, it has to be dictatorial.  
        That's why the military is organized the way it is, and why the orders 
        and control are quite dictatorial.  It won't function effectively any 
        other way, when the going really gets rough. Any sophomore studying 
        servomechanism control theory knows that also, from a more technical 
        aspect. 
      
        From that technical aspect, in the 
        power industry they have gone (been forced) to a system comprised of 
        many competing servomechanisms, with changing loads and demands, and now 
        with an uncomfortable degree of decentralized individual control.  
        And somehow that system is supposed to function "better" than a top-down 
        control servosystem rigorously forcing all subordinate components and 
        functions into line. Well, the common servo theory will tell one that 
        such a mess of individual competing servomechanisms have a neat little 
        failure mechanism.  As various things occur unexpectedly, they also 
        unexpectedly cause the turning up of the amplification of 
        the response amplifiers on the various servocomponents affected. So 
        suddenly one has a "banging and clanging" series of servomechanisms out 
        of control, fighting each other and with uncontrolled phasing 
        differences, with the "centralized system" providing inane feedforward 
        and feedback responses in a hapless control attempt that only makes 
        matters worse. The end result is that the servomechanism complex rapidly 
        beats itself to pieces and self-destructs. 
      
        In the case of a missile system, e.g., 
        it can easily go into self-resonance aerodynamically, with positive 
        feedback amplification of its own fin commands, and just very rapidly 
        shake itself to pieces and self-destruct.  The old Nike Ajax had such an 
        effect added into it, which some seconds prior to target intercept 
        increased the gain of the servoamps controlling the fin movements of the 
        missile, then just before intercept doubled the servo gain. The missile 
        then would be flexing aerodynamically as it approached on its target, 
        and as it entered the first part of endgame it would wiggle even faster 
        and harder, trying to correct faster, and a few seconds before intercept 
        it would wiggle frantically like a fish flopping out of the water and 
        gasping. It would change the fin positions and commands so frequently 
        that the commands were completely divorced from the missile's delayed 
        response.  As a consequence, the missile would often just self-disrupt 
        and detonate seconds before it reached the target.  This beast was 
        actually deployed with that severe defect in it, and it supposedly was a 
        "breakthrough" in improving accuracy!  Instead it was a disaster. 
      
        To control that silly mess, they had to 
        modify all the missile systems and add in a "clamp" that simply clamped 
        the amplifiers at a given level during endgame and would not accept the 
        "gain control" signals from that "new and greater" system. So a more 
        sluggish missile was far better, and the hit rate went back up (and the 
        self-failure rate of the missiles also went down). 
      
        Simultaneous feedforward and feedback 
        in a multiple servomechanism system can be very tricky in a system of 
        any degree of complexity.  Makes it easy for the beast to go into 
        self-resonance (chaotic oscillations, completely uncontrolled), and 
        self-destruct. 
      
        The power grid mess appears to be in 
        something very close to that sort of "multiple servomechanism situation 
        with sluggish and often inadequately control of the feedforward and 
        feedback signals".  Particularly since separating the overall control 
        responsibility (and thus the effectiveness of the overall control). 
        Responsible power analysts did warn the U.S. at least two or more years 
        ago that the power grid was a bomb ticking away to detonate, and that it 
        was not a matter of "if" but "when". 
      
        Anyway, even the older scalar 
        interferometry weapons confirmed by the SecDef in April 1997 are 
        sufficient to "tickle" almost any kind of things or stuff in the big 
        power grid and wash it out, anytime the fellows using those weapons 
        against us care to do it (old die-hard Communist faction of the KGB, 
        under its newer name as the Federal Security Services, and the rogue 
        Japanese team -- Yakuza and Aum Shinrikyo -- who leased the earlier 
        interferometer sites in Russia from the KGB at the end of 1989). Several 
        other nations -- including China -- also have them. 
      
        So we can expect more "lightning 
        strikes" on the power grid system, and more "failures of some little 
        control gadgets here and there" in the system, prompting a safety 
        shutdown of affected powerplants to save them.  The end result is that 
        the safety circuits trigger the abrupt shutdown of many powerplants, and 
        the powerplants are saved only at the expense of having sweeping 
        blackouts of the grid. 
      
        All this mess could of course be 
        avoided if the DoE were interested in vacuum EM energy (which powers the 
        entire grid system anyway, but which is just ignored by the EEs who use 
        a model more than a century old, that assumes an inert vacuum and a flat 
        spacetime, both falsified for what is now approaching a century). 
      
        Ah well!  After we suffer enough costs 
        and enough damage, and the people get angry enough and vote out enough 
        politicians, eventually someone will actually go read why Lee and Yang 
        were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1957 and why it was awarded at such high 
        speed.  They may even read some quantum field theory, to discover that 
        the classical notion used by all the electrical engineers of an 
        "isolated charge in inert space" is false, and really the "charge" is a 
        special dipolarity (two opposite INFINITE charges, but with a finite 
        difference, and with the charges in violent and continual energy 
        exchange with their active vacuum environment).  THEN they may even 
        recognize that, hey, those opposite charges must exhibit Lee and Yang's 
        broken symmetry, and hence that rigorously means they continuously 
        absorb virtual photon energy from the seething vacuum, coherently 
        integrate it into observable photon energy, and re-emit real, observable 
        photons in all directions.  That establishes and continuously 
        replenishes the associated EM fields and potentials from that "source 
        charge dipolar ensemble". 
      
        Every EM field, EM potential, and joule 
        of EM energy in the entire power grid comes directly from the local 
        vacuum, via its interaction with the local charges in that grid. It does 
        NOT come from cranking the shafts of the generators, or burning the coal 
        and the oil and gas, or using nuclear fuel rods. As we have stated 
        before, presently we pay the power companies to have a deliberate, giant 
        wrestling match inside their own generators, and LOSE. 
      
        But for now, DoE, the National Academy 
        of Sciences, the National Science Foundation, our "great national 
        laboratories", and every electrical engineering department all use an 
        archaic electrical power engineering model that does recognize that all 
        EM fields and potentials and their energy come from their associated 
        source charges. However, the stupid model erroneously assumes an inert 
        vacuum (inert space), so it assumes that the source charges do 
        create and have created every EM field, EM potential, and joule of EM 
        energy in the universe, right out of nothing at all! 
      
        As long as such an assumption is 
        propagated and defended (and rigorously enforced) by the scientific 
        establishment, then just so long will we have an energy crisis and 
        planetary pollution crisis.  And the archaic type power systems our 
        engineers build --- and the enormous grids they build and then find them 
        messed up with political action and manipulating for profiteering, 
        --- will just get worse and worse in their behavior, particularly as 
        those hostile foreign fellows with the interferometers keep "tickling" 
        the grid now and then, or -- in other words -- poking the rabbit and 
        watching him jump out of his skin in response. 
      
        In April 1997 then Secretary of Defense 
        Cohen made this statement: 
      
 
        Since then, not a single electrical 
        engineering department, Department of Energy, or electrical power 
        industry spokesman has even mentioned that the same weapons systems 
        confirmed as massively engineering the weather right over our heads 
        (since 1976) can and will be used to "tickle" and affect the power grid 
        and lots of other things to make our lives more miserable and gradually 
        do us more and more financial damage. 
      
        The public is being assured by many 
        pundits called onto the TV screen that "this is not terrorism, and we 
        have no evidence that.... blah blah blah".  Truth is, we haven't got a 
        single one of those "analysts" poring over all the data that is even 
        aware of the SecDef's 1997 statement or the continuing operation of 
        those weapons that killed the Thresher, the Challenger, the Arrow DC-8 
        in Gander, the TWA-800, etc.  Just as we never used any analysts capable 
        of realizing what was going on in the decades long "microwave radiation" 
        of the U.S. Embassy in Moscow, responsible for health changes and 
        disease induction in personnel and including responsible for the deaths 
        of three ambassadors, we will not be using any analysts on the "grid 
        system problem" that are aware of what kind of terrorism might actually 
        have been used.  Of course it may have been an act of nature.  And it 
        also could have been a deliberate stimulus.  The present analysts are 
        not equipped to even deal with the latter possibility (even probability, 
        considering that the weapons are there, they are confirmed by a SecDef 
        himself, etc.). 
      
        After manipulating our weather for 27 
        years, one should not be surprised that the distant interferometers may 
        start manipulating a few other "contiguous" large systems which are only 
        fragilely controlled and are subject to easy stimulation for massive 
        failures and damage.  They've given us the forest fires, etc., 
        tornadoes, and other nice weather effects to make life miserable. 
      
        It would also be a good test of some of 
        the later KGB  systems of quite different design and functioning. 
      
        Meanwhile, the great energy consortium 
        continues along its way, much like the old Titanic that it is, and 
        headed for the icebergs dead ahead. 
      
        Best wishes,
