Synopsis of the Calvin Cycle : Purdue's Intertwining Federal False Claims

This is the author Francis K. Fong's Index Blog, http://fkfong.blogspot.com.  It consists of 7 blogs, maintained to support NSFfunding.com's Synopsis on the Calvin cycle.

Work on this Synopsis iniated in response to a tape recorded request by Associate IG (Criminal) Peggy Fischer, National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Inspector General (OIG). The Calvin cyle is an NSF fraud case, a federal false claim instituted in July of 1955 by Purdue to do photosynthesis in the light in the dark. (There is no typographical misprint in this sentence.) 

Fong's composition of the requested Synopsis was complicated by a second false claim by Purdue, that of a novel method for generating nuclear fusion energy.  The Calvin cycle claim was submitted in 2007 by Communications Director LuAnn Canipe as the FBI PX 45 request as an integral part of the investigation of this nuclear fusion claim by the House Oversight Subcommittee.  The submission led to the Kyrouac Agreement, of which a summary by AOUSC's Kelly Lee provides a focus of this investigation to supplement Cordova's correct response to the two-pronged question.  Fortunately, on 2-1-10, Purdue University President France Cordova enabled Fong's compliance under this request by her finding as follows:

1. Purdue instructor Dale W. Margerum on 7-4-55 released a news story, Hunt Submissions at 100, in furtherance of the Calvin cycle, and
2. Margerum's story - that Calvin and co-workers "by a separate collection of soluble chemicals" performed all of the steps in the dark reaction cycle in photosynthesis - became NSF's standard for funding photosynthesis research contrary to Calvin and co-workers' published findings in research journals.

To recover Treasury's losses, Fong contemplates requiring Cordova's coooperation in an inquiry as to whether her finding is tantamount to a conclusion that funding by the National Science Foundation, over the past six decades, of photosynthesis research based on the Calvin cycle, the dark reaction cycle in photosynthesis, is a tax-related conspiracy.  This inquiry is significant in view of Purdue's involvement, in addition to the federal false claim of doing photosynthesis in the dark, in the abovesaid second false claim to have accomplished, through some highly improbable "tabletop bubbles arrangement," the conversion of heat energy into nuclear fusion energy.
