- Terry Bollinger, who either missed or misses the McCarthy era, asks:
-
- "By the way: Mr. Rothwell, perhaps you could help me out by answering
- a little question that you seem to have missed or sidestepped several
- times in the past... Have you ever in any way been funded by the LaRouche
- organization for your efforts..." and bla, bla, bla.
-
- Don't be ridiculous! I have never sidestepped a question in my life. Anyone
- who has ever know me for more than 5 minutes can tell you that. You might as
- well accuse Art Clarke of being modest as accuse me of being evasive. I may
- make an ass of myself spouting off untruths, but I have never, *ever* evaded a
- question. On the contrary, I tend to go charging in like a bull when you wave
- a cape like that, even though I have promised a dozen people I will send them
- this document I am translating. I have answered that particular question many
- times, right here in this forum.
-
- So, to answer your question: Nope. The LaRouche people drive me nuts. I have
- to deal with them from time to time, because they show up at the cold fusion
- conferences, but I have no business or social relationship with them because
- they make me sick. They have, however, quoted translations by me, but that is
- the author's business, not mine. Lots of people quote stuff that I translated
- originally, including Fusion Facts, MITI, and the New York Times, but nobody
- ever pays for quotes, in any field. As far as I know, I am the only source of
- Japanese Cold Fusion information translated into English.
-
- I wish they would leave us alone and go back to supporting hot fusion
- reactors, fission reactors, breeder reactors, space travel, food irradiation,
- maglev transportation, tax cuts, evolution (not creationism), high temperature
- superconductors and... HEY! Wait a second here... Didn't you say you worked
- for NEC? Just a second... I think you guys are in the superconductor business
- aren't you? Don't deny it! Yeah... Perhaps you could help me out by answering
- a little question that you seem to have missed or sidestepped here. What are
- *you* doing in line of business clearly supported by and *abetted* by the
- LaRouche organization? Oh, man, are you in for it!
-
- I declare you guilty as charged. Step under the kleig lights, please. Raise
- your right hand and swear: "I am not now, and never have been, a member of the
- LaRouche Party..."
