3. FREE ENERGY: STATE DEPARTMENT OPENS ITS DOORS TO NEW AGERS. from Whats New Something called the Integrity Research Institute has announced the First International Conference on Free Energy (CoFE), April 29-30. IRI markets books and videos with such titles as The Race to Zero Point Energy, Anti-Gravity: The Dream Made Reality, and Holistic Physics and Consciousness. It is headed by a US Patent Examiner named Tom Valone, who has been recruiting other open- minded people to become Patent Examiners (WN 20 Nov 98). The speakers list for CoFE is certainly open minded; topics include: assisted nuclear reactions (a.k.a. cold fusion), sonoluminesence (a.k.a. cold fusion), hydrogen technologies (a.k.a. cold fusion), tabletop nuclear transformations (a.k.a. cold fusion), as well as zero point energy generation, negative resistance and...well, you get the idea. Where would you hold such a uh, um open-minded conference? The notice says CoFE will be "under the auspices of the U.S. State Department in the Dean Acheson Auditorium."
