- He also wrote in response to your press release about Uri Geller
- "Note the clear implication in Sarfatti's release that having his
- doctorate in physics made him specially qualified to rule out
- deception". The whole tone of the article is skeptical, and some
- of the things you have stated above are actually quoted in the
- article as your own words, the rest are portrayed as your
- ideas, not Gardner's. I wouldn't say the article is any kind
- of stunning validation.

- dale bass
- I never implied that Gardner's article is anything but skeptical - where
- did I say it was a stunning validation? But Gardner is careful to hedge
- with his remark that if I am right I would be one of the greatest physicists
- of all time - not what he would say of an obvious crackpot. Was Bethe,
- Morrison, Salpeter, Brueckner, Cummings and my many other professors who
- examined me and granted three degrees in physics BA Cornel 1960, MS physics
- 1967, Ph.D physics 1969 - were they too busy with their research to properly
- teach and examine? That's the only implication - I'll burn my degrees if
- they return their salaries for the years I sat at their feet - not to
- mention Bohm and Salam who had me come to Trieste etc.

- No, the situation is not that simple. My point about Gardner's article is
- that I was an obscure asst prof at San Diego State until I became a
- useful idiot of un-named intelligence agencies - a pawn in a vast
- geo-political game - some of the spooks revealed themselves to me in the
- mid-80's. Gardner was part of this covert intelligence operation because
- his article, more than any other factor, put me "in the thick of it" -
- to quote British Intelligence agent Dennis Bardens in a remark to me
- in Blue Boar Inn Cambridge UK spring of 74' the full remark was
- "Dr. Sarfatti, it is my duty to inform you of a psychic war raging across
- the continents between the Soviet Union and your country and you are to be
- in the thick of it." It was no accident that shortly afet I received large
- sums of money from Werner Erhard and started a program at Esalen that
- finally let to Sid Coleman and Lenny Susskind havinf Feynman, Hawking, Gell
- Mann, Finkelstein and many others come to meetings with Werner Erhard - the
- elite of physics accepted money and favors from Erhard - so if you bring
- up Erhard you open a Pandora's Box in the physics community. More later
- if there interest in this.
