FEF : Primary

The author cites an announcement in May 1985 by Dr. George Keyworth, science advisor to President Reagan, that beam weapon missile defenses are much nearer than most people think. The system that has achieved the most rapid rate of progress, he notes, is the thermonuclear powered x-ray laser. He cites the recent tests, reported by William Broad in the New York Times May 15 as evidence that x-ray lasers - instead of first-generation deployment in the mid-1980s as had been realized - are now a near-term third-generation prospect because of the perfection of the lenses. He proceeds to cite the work of Lawrence Livermore National Lab. as outlined by Dr. Lowell Wood to Congress several months before the above tests - as well as subsequent and current work. In noting the 20-year effort of the USSR on beam defense research, Stevens says evidence points to a thorough investigation of the x-ray laser possibility by the Soviets. He bases this on a presentation by Dr. Mark J. Eckart of Livermore at the May conference in Baltimore on lasers and electro-optics. In reviewing the Livermore experiments demonstrating a lab-scale x-ray laser, Eckart noted that before 1980 most all scientific papers providing its basis were by scientists in the Soviet Union - but a dearth of papers since 1980. Stevens observes that there can be little doubt that both the US and USSR have within their grasp the capacity to render offensive ballistic nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete. The political question, he notes, is whether the Soviets will continue to oppose the Strategic Defenses Initiative while they rush to deploy the x-ray laser first, thereby gaining an overwhelming strategic advantage. 2 references, 4 figures.

Abstract, "X-ray laser: a revolution in beam defense and the laboratory" Stevens, C.B., Fusion , Volume: 7:4, OSTI ID: 6483755


Relevant persons from among leading scientists in the "West" have attested to the excellence of Soviet science's work within these fields; more notably, for our purposes here, there are aspects of that Soviet practice to whose quality this writer can attest from the standpoint of his own special expertise.

A case in point: In 1978, representatives of the Fusion Energy Foundation were invited to participate in a Soviet-sponsored international conference, on the subject of intertial-confinement (e.g., "laser") fusion. The participants met with this writer to learn what his requests might be. In light of the quarrel between the FEF and places such as Lawrence Livermore Laboratories (LLL), this writer suggested that the Soviets might have declassified aspects of their reliance upon B. Riemann's conception of isentropic compression for the development of the Soviet "hydrogen bomb." Papers representing such declassification would be most useful in the writer's and FEF' s efforts to challenge the competence of virtual-reality devices, such as LLL's Lasnex. The FEF representatives were successful in filling this request. It was on this basis, that the writer proposed to proceed with EIR's computer-based quarterly economic forecast for the U.S. economy, which, during the 1979-1983 interval it was operational, was the only successful such forecast available in the public domain. This forecasting endeavor was prompted by the desire to demonstrate the Riemannian principle of isentropic compression by a useful application in some domain. This case is exemplary of those past generations of Russia's scientists, and who were, thus, rooted in the Classical scientific method of western Europe, especially the Germany scientific tradition of Gauss, Humboldt, Riemann. These are exceptionally qualified persons, of a quality wich will not be easily replicated today.

Russia's relation to universal history, LaRouche, EIR November 14, 1996


During mid-1977, Keegan met with associates of mine from the Fusion Energy Foundation ( FEF ). He outlined his study, and identified the difficulties he had had with colleagues and opponents such as Graham. He asked FEF to provide him an assessment of some of the crucial evidence which Graham et al. had ridiculed. An FEF team, headed by one Dr. Steven Bardwell, a plasma physicist, pulled together a study of instances in which known Soviet technology might provide Moscow the scientific capability for deploying an operational ballistic missile defense system of a type based upon "new physical principles," as distinct from so-called "kinetic energy" intercept systems.

FEF' s work to that effect had been developed as a by-product of both my general specialization in the matter of Riemannian manifolds for purposes of long-range studies in technological attrition, and my rejection of the mechanistic delusion, that so-called "Coulomb Forces" operate as law within the range of the sub-atomic and nuclear "infinitesimally small." My views in such matters coincided with my own emphasis on a modern view of Platonic "hylozoic monism," a view of Riemannian physics, and of the work of Vernadsky et al., which I had set forth as the science policy of our publishing effort, in memoranda of March-April 1973. It was those memoranda which had pushed the importance of controlled nuclear fusion, and which had been the sparkplug for the founding of the Fusion Energy Foundation .

The Rudakov lectures at Livermore had served us associated with FEF as a point of reference, a demonstration of the point at which both "super-lasers" and "particle-beam" technologies were emerging from confinement to laboratory experiments and related pioneering tests.

The Washington Post 'Death Beam' hoax by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. Executive Intelligence Review October 18, 1999


The following testimony by the Schiller Institute was submitted to the Senate Finance Committee, which held four days of hearings on abuses by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), on April 28 to May 1. The testimony was submitted on May 22.

1983-1984: A series of meetings is convened at the Manhattan apartment of New York investment adviser John Train. According to Michael Hudson, a participant at the meetings, the purpose of the meetings was to "coordinate national magazine stuff about you guys, and work with Federal law enforcement to deny you funding and tax exemption, is the delicate way to put it."

At the time, the Fusion Energy Foundation ( FEF ), a leading proponent of beam weapons ballistic missile defense, was a tax-exempt foundation under the Internal Revenue Code. FEF was considered by LaRouche's political opponents to be a major source of respectability and funding for LaRouche's ideas. According to Hudson, he was put into contact with the Baltimore regional office of the IRS to further the slander and unwarranted prosecution campaign outlined at the Train salon meetings. That office had purview over tax-exempt organizations. In response to FOIPA requests, the IRS disclaims that it has a file concerning these events or any file at all concerning the Fusion Energy Foundation .

September 1986: The IRS falsely tells the Associated Press that the Fusion Energy Foundation' s tax-exempt status has been revoked, and releases other information about the FEF to reporter William Welch. As a result, AP, in a national wire, claims that solicitors for the FEF are committing tax fraud by stating that the FEF is tax exempt. After threats of legal action, the IRS claimed that it had made a "mistake" concerning FEF' s status when discussing the FEF with reporter Welch and that the FEF was, indeed, tax exempt. As previously noted, in response to FOIA requests, the IRS has disclaimed that it has any file on the Fusion Energy Foundation .

April 1987: The United States government launches an unprecedented bankruptcy liquidation of Campaigner Publications, Caucus Distributors, and the Fusion Energy Foundation , the principal publishers of LaRouche's ideas. IRS Agent Lucey, who was subsequently described in government documents as the "elder statesman" of the Federal criminal task force and the "resident expert" on LaRouche, plays an active role in assisting the civil bankruptcy action. The bankruptcy action is later dismissed as illegal by Federal Judge Martin Bostetter, who likened it to a "constructive fraud" upon the Court. The bankruptcy ends any ability to repay the loans at issue in the subsequent Federal indictment of LaRouche for loan fraud.

IRS corruption fuelled operations of `Get LaRouche' task force, Executive Intelligence Review June 5, 1998


Specifically, beginning 1977, I came to play a leading international role in developing and proposing what President Ronald Reagan presented as his “Strategic Defense Initiative,” in his televised address of March 23, 1983. It should be recalled here, that the Fusion Energy Foundation ( FEF ), of which I had been the leading co-founder, played a key part in those matters. During the past decade, 21st Century Science & Technology has continued aspects of that work of FEF , as also the weekly Executive Intelligence Review (EIR).3 Then and now, all competent s
