Mark Gibbs had been writing an IT blog for Forbes Magazine for sometime. He was one of the very few "mainstream" journalists who was willing to pay attention to the LENR phenomenon. LENR is a potentially game changing energy technology that, if real, is a non-emitter of radiation nor carbon that could potentially provide an inexhaustible supply of energy and a solution to global warming. On July 23 Mr Gibbs posted a mildly positive review of a recent Defkalion corporation LENR demonstration to his Forbes blog. In short order he sent the following to his readers at Vortex-l. Mr Gibbs announces his firing to Vortex-l If you click through the link you can read Mr Gibbs' announcement of his firing from Forbes Magazine to his followers on the Vortex-l email archive. Continuing on to the link to Forbes itself you can read the blog posting that apparently got Mr Gibbs terminated. If you then click the Mark Gibbs name you can review Mr Gibbs' other postings on the LENR subject and hopefully appreciate that he is skeptical individual with an open mind and a willingness to engage his curiosity with subject matter that others would scorn.
It seems the moneyed interests at Forbes grew tired of reading about stuff that threatens the livelihood of their energy advertisers. I can well imagine a nervous Forbes editor asking himself/herself why Mr Gibbs is being allowed to publish stuff that is causing a big headache to the guys who are paying the bills. So I am putting this up on Daily Kos hoping to attract the attention of the really cool folks who will never be in the pay-pockets of the corporate big boys
