Update #3
It seems like the first visit at the Oval Office was Darden Jr, together with Pitt/Jolie
Update #2
Another interesting comment by hitman Weaver. He is now somehow threatening Rossi on the basis that increased visibility would be bad for him … Leaves a little bad taste in the mouth doesn’t it?
Sifferkoll – getting a little testy again there skippy? There is rarely any basis of fact in your fabrications and I expect you to run long and hard on this one. BTW, you may want to consider toning down any further efforts to draw attention to Rossi by the US Govt. He is only a little prick in the side of a couple of agencies at present but you’re welcome to continue in your efforts to raise the visibility of your hero in all the right circles.
Raises the question why IH has gone all in on toning down from the start … No I actually believe increased visibility on the IH (incl. their partners in crime) activities is needed.
Update #1
Amazingly, Dewey Weaver now confirms Darden/IH being assigned to handle Rossi early 2012. Shortly thereafter Darden started chasing down Rossi IP and signing him in a deceitful license agreement that they planned to not honor from the beginning.

I’ll just show these two pieces of data to back this question up. What are the odds of this being a coincidence?
Darden in the oval office right before chasing down the Rossi IP in a deceitful license agreement.
Maybe Darden was working on Whitehouse/Apco/Goldman Sachs orders from the start. We can be sure these stakeholders like the slow rollout, not the energy revolution; since a revolution like that will only benefit the people, not the powers …
Of course you could whine about conspiracy, but it is only logical.
What a find! You need to enable some emoticons here in the comments section. Be sure to put one to express ‘jaw dropping.’
Perhaps you remember, in the speech Darden gave at ICCF, he said that he was pretty much ready to retire and spend time with his family, but then he got a phone call “out of the blue” from someone about LENR, which got him interested, yada yada yada. We have never learned who it was that called him. After this whole IH-Rossi thing blew up last month (or whenever it was), I thought about that statement. At the time I didn’t think anything of it, but now it just seems a little too pat, a little too tidy, a little too manufactured. Apparently it wasn’t serendipity after all. But at least now we know who he got the call from…
I wonder if it was Roger Green that called Tom Darden.
Green was one of the first to invest in the Ecat.
Darden might be wishing he did not take the call.
Or Josh and others might be right also
So much speculation.
The Communist remark by TD could have been a joke
that AR took seriously.
If so it just shows they should have gotten to know each other.
The problem with guessing and speculation is that for certain types of such remarks as naming real people in speculation that has no evidence but is based on pure and fanciful guesswork, can take on a life of its own where no such life exists.
My advice to anyone re remarks like this is to think carefully before making them. They can be just a shade off posting a lie. The problems start when other people take what may be a pure guess and repost it as fact.
So to repeat, be careful when implying claims about real people that have *no* factual or evidential backing other than wild speculation.

Question by Robet Dorr and answer from Andrea Rossi on Jonp :

Andrea,
I was just wondering if you had seen the newly found information that Tom Darden met with President Obama in January 2012 shortly before he contacted you in early 2012?
Thank you for your hard work.

Robert Dorr:
Yes, I saw it, but it was much time before we met, therefore surely LENR were not in his mind at that time, as I know. I am surprised he asked to meet the President, because I always talked very well to him of the President, Obama, that I consider one of the most courageous and illuminated Presidents of the History of this Great Country, while Darden always was dismissive about the issue, and used to say that the President Obama is a “communist”.
Not surprisingly, opportunism won versus sincerity.
Warm Regards,
A.R.
According to the same website Darden also visited the White House on 6th Nov 2015. He went to two meetings apparently organised by Gabriele Fisher, a “National Security and International Affairs Intern” from the “White House Office of Science and Technology Policy”
Also in attendance (among 80 others) were:
Jeff Baran – Commissioner of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
Steve Corneli – Senior Vice President for Policy and Strategy, NRG Energy.
Theodore Garrish – who provides strategic compliance advice on matters relating to the export of nuclear technology.
Janet Gorn – Senior Foreign Affairs Officer at U.S. Department of State.
Mary Alice Hayward – Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation
Arthur Samberg – Boardmember of Tri Alpha Energy (aneutronic fusion)
Kristine Svinicki – Commissioner of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Kevan Weaver – Terrapower (Bill Gates’ travelling wave reactor)
Jay Wileman – CEO, GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy
If I am not mistaken, Rossi has known Darden, or one of its associates, for 20 years before he settled the contract with IH.
And remember, Rossi met Jimmy Carter around 1979. So, it’s not unlikely that the White House has its eyes on him for many decades.
