Another example, as I tend to see it, of 
a rather cult-like and rigid mentality 
on the part of the orthodox 
establishment: A Doctor of Science by 
the name of Loic Le Ribault invented 
(with help from a Professor Norbert 
Duffaut of the University of Bordeaux) a 
substance called "organic silica" for 
the purpose of, among other things, 
curing arthritis. But apparently since 
they got patents for their invention, 
and since the cult-like/rigid orthodox 
establishment couldn't benefit from that 
invention, their attempts to get 
official recognition for their work was 
not only ignored, but Duffaut appears to 
have been poisoned to death, although 
the "official" verdict was suicide 
(Ribault thinks he wasn't suicidal and 
in any case knew that potassium cyanide 
would lead to a very painful death), 
while Ribault got solitary confinement 
in a French jail. In short, apparenlty 
Ribault can't return to his home 
country, France, because of what to me 
seems like a rather cult-like and rigid 
mentality on the part of the orthodox 
establishment.

Much more about that story is available 
by googling on Loic Le Ribault, and also 
available in the current (May-June 2005) 
issue of Nexus magazine.

Speculatively,
