Signals at the APEC Summit Show Big Changes Ahead

A FEAST OF SIGNALS IN ASIA

 

What Americans saw of their President visiting with President Xi Jinping and President Vladimir Putin in Beijing at the APEC summit this week was a diplomatic kabuki dance. it was a festival of signals that analysts will be dwelling on for years.


President Obama wore a Nehru jacket, while President Putin threw a shawl around the chilly shoulders of President Jinping's wife. President Obama chewed gum throughout the long meeting, in several venues.


The gum was identified as Nicorette - a signal that the President is ready to quit a habit that has sustained him in nervous moments. .

 

And President Putin reached out to Mr. Obama, taking him by the left bicep in front of the cameras. President Jinping came to Mr. Obama, rather than the reverse, as they met to shake hands.


Which of these things was significant? The Nehru jacket, certainly. The shawl and Putin's reach, no doubt. The Jinping handshake. And the gum? A signal? Yup, that too.


You have to know a few things that most don't to understand the significance of these powerful and far-reaching signals.


The Nehru jacket, for instance, is a symbol of India, at a time when it was closer to Russia than to the U.S. It is also a variant on a Chinese-style formal jacket that also links it to China.


Most people know this; what most do not know is that a world of change is about to occur in multilateral foreign relations. That was clearly signalled by the unexpected release of two Americans by North Korea.


Clearly, with Kim Jung Un out of touch for so long and absent for this meeting, the gesture had a quietly submissive aspect. it was conducted without any of the usual arrogance and indifference of the North Korean regime. It was an act that said, "We apologize. We need you. Please do not destroy us."


"'Destroy us?'" What could that possibly refer to? What can President Obama do that is so far-reaching? You might be surprised.


Chewing gum in public, at a diplomatic summit of the most powerful three nations in the world, is a signal of confidence.


It said that the President had the situation well in control, and that at least two big players - China and India, as symbolized by the strange suit - were with him. That was evident in the gesture President Xi Jinping made at their public meeting.


Rather than wait for Mr. Obama to come to him, Mr. Xinping walked four or five times the length of our President's strides, his palm outstretched the entire time, to shake President Obama's hand. There was none of the bowing and scraping that commonly surround meetings with the Chinese President; this was one nation, China, going far out of its customary way to welcome another, Mr. Obama's..


Putin was not to be left out. Rather than signal to an aide to have the Chinese first lady draped with an appropriate garment, he took his own simple blanket and draped it around the first lady's shoulder. He was saying, "We care about you and are your friends. We want to be included. Please do not eliminate us from your secret agreement."

 

"'Secret agreement'"? What secret agreement? Was it part of the secret letter that Mr. Obama wrote to the chief Ayatollah of Iran, revealed in kind but not detail last week? Very possibly.


All in all, it adds up to a secret diplomatic and irreversible technological victory for the Obama Administration, one that the President has been working on for many months and that has never leaked. So what is it that has India, China and Russia by the short hairs?


The answer, as it is in so many places, is energy. It is the value of oil that has made China the world's fourth-largest producer of it, and Russia the life-and-death arbiter of Europe winters with his natural gas - just as history's worst cold weather storm was bearing down on the Bering Strait.


For India, cold fusion represents the once-in-a-lifetime potential to generate true, enduring productivity and even prosperity for its vast, well-educated work force and highly entrepreneurial people; it means ending the long dark time of poverty its people have suffered for two thousand years.


What you don't know, mainly because you have not been listening, is that cold fusion has finally come of age. It makes all the oil and gas and coal and nuclear energy of this age worthless. It is a commodity that leads the markets to dump oil, gold and silver because those things are hedges against a vanishing commodity that no longer needs a hedge.


Cold fusion, now known as Low Energy Nuclear Reactions - a temporary tip of the hat to the hot fusion scientists that spent tens of billions to achieve what cold fusion has achieved with a couple of million dollars - is now a reality.


The most distinguished scientists in the world, i.e., those who chair the committees of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences that hand out the Nobel Prize for Physics and Chemistry, have personally validated the device that an Italian inventor, Andrea Rossi, who lives and works in America, has created.


Those scientists, without Rossi's help or presence, proved for 32 days that an 8-inch length of pipe, weighing just under one pound - of complicated design, nonetheless - over that month and two days could generate one million five hundred thiousand watts of heat with only a few grams of fuel that 3was still present when the test was ended..

 

Put a few thousand of those pipes together and the world's energy needs are met. We'll still need oil for plastics and lubricants, but will no longer need the fossil fuels we refine to yield gasoline.


Vladimir Putin is about to suffer the greatest sucker punch  the world has ever known. All his oil, all his natural gas, will have only a small fraction of its present value.


And China? They are not slow people. They saw the cold fusion device called the Energy Catalyzer coming, and as they have done with everything else you can possibly imagine, they have started manufacturing it under license from an American company callled Industrial Heat LLC of Raleigh, N.C.


The Chinese even had meetings about it with President Jinping himself present, and out of those high-level planning meetings has come the creation of a brand new industrial park that is already manufacturing these things. Rossi is manufacturing them, too, at an Industrial Heat facility in North Carolina. The so-called "Hot Cats" sell for $1.5-million each, and they produce a minimum of three times as much energy as they use.


He who controls the light switch controls the world, and as my book "Power" (available on Amazon) hinted, President Obama holds the switch.


The President can, through a remarkable turn of events extremely well described in "An Impossible Invenmtion," by science journalist Mats Lewan, turn the lights of the entire world off and on.

 

Don't like his chewing gum? Beat it. Don't like his jacket? Suffer.


So what do these leaders want Mr. Obama to do? Essentially, they are begging him, figuiratively on their knees, not to flood the world with E-Cats (as they're called) before they can somehow roll up their own energy investments and reasonably makle the Big Switch.

 

Mr. Obama has his hand on the switch.

 

Even the former Secretary of Energy, Stephen Chu, still hoping to become a player, was forced to pose for photos last week with someone many believe is a third-rate cold fusion impostor, Robert Godes of Brillouin Energy, which is pretending it has mastered some iteration of Rossi's technology. Those who are in the know laugh at both of them.


Behind the scenes, the Greek government almost fell over the issue, and still may, because they had a deal with Rossi in their grasp but failed to ante up a few million dollars that would have sealed it.


President Obama may have lost the mid-term elections, but he has seized the ultimate power available to anyone in this world, and there does not exist a power on this earth than can take it from him.

 

He can strut around in Nehru suits and smoke Hemingway cigars all he wants, and there's nothing China, Russia, North Korea or anyone else can do about it.

 

On the world stage, President Barack Obama has become the Biggest Winner.


How do you like them apples?
