Earlier this week, the Dept. of Energy announced a breakthrough in "hot" nuclear fusion: A net gain of energy from the fusion experiment at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. CNBC.com covered the story and falsely reported, " It's the first time humankind has achieved this landmark."

I say CNBC "falsely" reported this because hot fusion technology has been in existence for many years (see the Lockheed Martin patent below for starters). It was kept under wraps because hot fusion energy would provide extremely low-cost electricity for the masses while gutting the fossil fuels industry whose existence is necessary for US dollar hegemony (see full explanation below). Hot fusion, in other words, had to be suppressed in order to maintain oil dominance -- and petrodollar dominance -- in the global economy.
