Peter Gluck, Blogger-Advocate for Rossi Technology

Peter Gluck has had some second thoughts. I did not read the next day's blog before posting this. I may make further comments below, but my apologies for any offense, and if I erred, the error is mine. Meanwhile the basic inspiration for this post was actually exploring Rossi's reactions. http://egooutpeters.blogspot.r…-blog-and-primum-non.html.

http://egooutpeters.blogspot.r…-has-started-war.html</a>

Reading over Rossi's comments on Gluck's blog, I realize how familiar it all is. Rossi has been talking more or less like this since 2011, though it is getting more extreme. He's not sober. His grasp of fact is weak. But he is damn sure that the snakes and clowns are snakes and clowns!

Who has started the LENR (Rossi-IH) war?

A few days ago, a LENR researcher whom I have always considered a good sciwntist
and friend- now supporting IH's position, however with civility- wrote:

" I only hope for the field that Rossi seeks the path of peace and withdraws his accusations and law suit.
He has created quite a mess."

As it is natural, this researcher- as so many other LENR-ists is wanting peace and
work in normal conditions, however I am asking if the war is indeed Rossi's fault,
only Rossi has to move for making peace? WHO HAS STARTED ACTUALLY THE WAR?

The question of who started a war is asked by people who have no clue how to stop wars. That question never, ever, stops a war. Wars are stopped when mutual benefit in stopping them is found. And there are people who help facilitate that, and people who don't. The people who point to one side and blame them never help, unless they have enough power to overcome that side. The bloodiest wars are between matched opponents, where each side believes it is right.

I have received an answer that is really amazing and paradoxical- in context. It comes from Dewey Weaver IH's front line man who explains the case:
"How do you sit down for a reasonable conversation with someone who sues without warning? Rossi was planning this litigation for a long time and was apparently counting the days for when he could file the litigation."

Dewey is not "IH's front man." Peter has bought that characterization of him. He is an IH investor, definitely an involved party, who certainly has his position, but he is not a spokesperson for IH. IH has been very explicit about nobody speaking for them without authorization. As an investor, Dewey may have some level of inside information, but that's about it. Jed Rothwell also claims some level of inside information. In neither case can they reveal the source, which is perfectly normal and this has been going in for many years, that people leak confidential information, from time to time. They may or may not be violating a trust; they may believe that nothing critical is being revealed.

Quote

So...Rossi, who according to the same Dewey Weaver has never obtained excess heat, has chosen unsuitable instruments, made flawed measurements- ergo is in
lost situation- OK, this Rossi is watching with sadism when he starts a perfidious litigation against a perfect company- an example of correctness and openness, possessing all truths, motivated by high ideals?.
Isn't this seppuku?

Peter is not accurately reporting what has been said and who said it. Here, Dewey was quoted. Nothing was said about sadism. Nothing was said about IH being a perfect company. Peter is fanning the flames. Words of a certain meaning have been interpreted beyond what they mean, to create an exaggerated story.

Quote

Rethinking the story, remembering the vocal and thorny messages of IH's supporters
I had a REVELATION. Just take in consideration the reports of the ERV after 3, 6 and 9 months, how the impossible, nonexistent and absolutely unproductive miserable fake plant was used as trap or bait for investors and ot FRossi said it is "stellar"-Ok, then we who take these arguments as serious- we are in the extreme danger to lose
our sense of humor- terribly bad! Please read just the quotations of MOTTO and-let's
recover!

In a word, Rossii's conspiracy theory, a variation on the evil corporation out to rip its investors off. But wait ... Dewey is one of those investors. It was all a ploy to convert Rossi's reputation to cash for IH, while dumping him? So what does Rossi say?

Quote

I have asked Rossi who has started the war and his answer is natural and. I think logically consistent.

Rossi answers re: Who has started the war?

Q- The part which breaks an agreement, starts the war and creates a mess. Was it you?

A- The mess was created by IH not paying what is due. Leonardo Corporation is just making what any honest concern would make when a customer does not pay: ask for justice in Court. The reasons of our complaints have been put in evidence and published.

There are eight counts in the Complaint. The first Count is for non-payment. When a customer does not pay, going to Court is far from the first thing to do. The first thing is to request payment when it has not appeared on time. The next thing is to negotiate. And, then, going to court with a request to resolve a dispute is one thing. That's done all the time without the rancour. Normally, as well, an attorney will send a demand letter attempting to avoid filing an action. There is no sign that ordinary and customary business practice was followed. Instead, the suit was much more like a war, claiming bad faith, fraud, going after the officers and not just the corporation, going after Cherokee, which did not sign any agreement with Rossi and is apparently not an owner or investor in IH, all this was taking a dispute and turning it into a war. However, yes, it was based on IH not paying. So who started it? It looks like communication between Rossi and IH broke down before the GPT report was issued. However, we only have details reliably from one side, Rossi. IH has not Answered the complaint and has not provided new fact in their Motion to Dismiss, only legal arguments based on the Complaint. They hinted in a footnote at what they might allege later, that's all.

Quote

Q- There are signs that IH knows that its position in the conflict is weak and
the facts are not working speaking in their favor

Is Peter reporting or is he an attorney for Rossi asking him leading questions? I see no such signs, and I've been paying attention. What I see is a lot of fluff on blogs. The Motion to Dismiss has been entered. The legal arguments in it appear sound. Rossi's attorney will presumably respond with counterarguments, but, at this point, based on my own understanding of law and discussions with a lawyer, most of the Complaint is toast. The most likely part to stand, requiring more evidence and a trial, would be the first count, nonpayment. There is an obvious defect in the Complaint, but Rossi's attorney might remedy it. I.e., as matters stand, the Complaint is toast. But it might be rescued. Why it was filed so poorly would be another story, but what I notice is that the Complaint talks like Rossi. Not like a competent attorney for Rossi.

Quote

A- Absolutely this is the reason they tried to assassinate my character by any means.

Except that Rossi knows that all this "assassination" -- which is not by IH, but by many others, with only one or maybe one more actually having some connection with IH -- is irrelevant. They could make Rossi look, on the blogs, like a complete fraud, and it would have zero effect on the lawsuit. In other words, Rossi is putting together things that are not actually connected, which is a sign of how he thinks.

Quote

(I have to add that they also try to assassinate the characters of the 1MW plant, the ERV, the instruments and the measurements -plus of anybody who wants to keep a sense of humor, reason, reality and are doubting IH's story)

One footnote in the Motion to Dismiss is all that IH has said, plus they made some comments in a press release about being unable to confirm Rossi's claims. No claim has been made about the ERV, to my knowledge. Rossi lives in a fog full of vermin that are not actually there. Some people, based on private information, have said various things. This is, simply, rumor. Rossi did not answer the question.

Q- IH people speaks about terms and says you have started by going to Court before payment was due- Have they justified why not paying?

Actually, while this may have been said by an "IH person," at one point, i.e., Dewey, I may have noticed this first and I saw another researcher say it privately. This would be a good question for Rossi as to what IH may have explained to him when refusing to pay, if they did. But Rossi doesn't answer that.

Quote

A- This is an other falsity of IH, whose evidence is in our complaint, that we deposited in court after IH rejected our request of payment that we sent to them after the ERV has notified both parties the Report of the 1 year Test; it is enough to read our complaint deposited in Court to find the proof of this.

Rossi may believe this, but the facts in the Complaint show otherwise. According to the Complaint, 72. On or about March 29, 2016, the ERV published his final report." Rossi also demanded payment. When? March 29. Now, I would normally expect a legal proof of delivery of a report like this to take some time, at least a day. But let's assume that the report was actually delivered to IH on March 29. (Notice that the Complain does not allege this.) So when was the payment due? From the Agreement, within "five business days." That is one week if there is no holiday. So the payment was due on April 5, and not past due until the day after, April 6. The Complaint was filed on April 5. Thus it was filed prematurely, by one day. It took time to put that Complaint together, even as shoddy as it was. So the point that Rossi was planning to sue before knowing he would not be paid as a legal fact is clear. That does not mean that he didn't know he was not going to be paid and I've often said that they likely told him. But that is exactly the question that Rissi does not answer. He just calls the issue of going to court before payment was due (really before it was past due) a "falsity." But it's obvious.

And so we see that Rossi denies the obvious, because he has a different story to tell.

Quote

Q- I have noticed an increasing trend - more and more LENR-ists consider that IH's position is weak perhaps not only in the coming trial:

I totally agree : in court you cannot chatter, you must bring evidence. All the clowneries they said about the ERV, about the flawed measurements, about the "Ghost ERV" now will demand evidence.

Where did they say these things? Rossi has no sense of a distinguishing corporations, officers of corporations, shareholders of corporations, and random people from the public who might say something. HIs failure to understand that IH was not "Cherokee" is striking in the lawsuit.

Quote

Andrea Rossi adds re sense of humor:

Lacking of honor is the fact that they have taken seriously clowns like Zoepfl, Rothwell, and made Weaver the president of a public fund.

Sense of humor? What? Who has taken "Zeopfl" seriously? He has been talking about IH. Rothwell is not connected with IH at all. And who is "they" who "made Weaver the president of a public fund." Okay, what position does Dewey Weaver have, and does this have anything to do with IH?

As I mentioned, Dewey Weaver acknowledges being an investor in IH. What is the "public fund"? Weaver, from readily available information, is an owner and CEO of InterMountain Management, founded in 1982. InterMountain Management owns and manages hotel properties. This is not a "public fund" and "they" did not make him President. Rossi doesn't know what he so freely talks about. He's not careful and apparently never has been. [struck. Dewey says that is not him. So what is the reference to?]

[quote]Sense of reality lack is put in evidence by the fact that they take 150 millions from investors for one year thanks to my IP and suddenly, when the time to pay for it, they discover that my IP is not good.[quote]Was this thanks to his IP? Does he know what they told the investors? And isn't that between them and the investors? Because of issues with the Agreement and performance, it's not impossible that this will not go to trial. More likely, though, Rossi's attorney will remedy some defects enough that the contractual issues can be resolved, and then, the issue of actual performance and the underlying purposes of the Agreement mayl become a subject.

Meanwhile, I'd have thought that Rossi's attorney would have told him to STFU. He cannot help himself with all this hostile fluff, this is not a public relations war, which he'd be likely to lose, anyway.

He does not understand, apparently, that what the so-called IH fans are saying cannot harm IH, because it is not legally responsible for them. But Rossi is responsible for Rossi.

Pardon me Jed as you're earnestly devoted to LENR/CF: but as an archivist of all things LENR/CF in its pre-breakthrough form, exciting and new, Rossi having the goods would mean the end of your gig.
It is only rational that you would be biased against such a possibility and find good angles to try and disprove it. It would also rationally make you receptive to anti-Rossi PR, be it concepts or persons.

Quote from Dewey Weaver

Abd - the Rossi PR/Slander war foggerfiers have incorrectly linked me to the DW that you reference
as owner and CEO of InterMountain Management. That is another DW.

I have corrected my post. Are you an officer in a "public fund" If so, then Rossi's statement may have been libel, but not wrong on a fact. IH, by the way, is not a "public fund" either, as I understand those words. But Rossi is not a master of legal stubtlety. If his supporters also pointed to the same DW, then he was probably relying on that and so his error would really have been the same (thinking an LLC is a public fund). Just wrong person.

This looks much more like our friend Dewey: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dewey-weaver-90b6b128

Also was a President, but of a Limited Partnership.

This is utterly preposterous. Jed is a "librarian" and has been interested in NiH before Rossi, as have many CF researchers. Rossi success would not be the "end of his gig." His work stands regardless.

I watched Jed from 2011 on this. Jed was quite positive on Rossi. He offered to support with his expertise in calorimetry. As with other experts, Rossi blew him off. That could have made him reactive, but, actually, Jed continued to write positively about Rossi.

This is tan example complete fantasy nonsense that people post without knowledge. If you are going to go for psychology, at least have some fact underneath it. Jed is not trying to disprove anything here, he's commenting as someone with some knowledge. Jed also makes mistakes from time to time, as do we all. I know Jed long term. He doesn't stick with his mistakes. Except for one, which I won't mention because we have seen enough fireworks recently. I do expect him to eventually figure it out, though it really doesn't matter, it's about someone who died and who no longer has any significant influence. It was, however, reading his book that supported my initial interest in LENR. Good skeptics, real skepticism, can do that.
