First, despite the claims, this is not what is normally referred to as a “peer reviewed journal.”
***Nothing will satisfy the naysayers when it comes to this peer review baloney. But at least you have some substance to your criticism of the science, as far as I can tell.

There are supposed to be standards of independence, competence and intellectual honesty. What these guys are doing is similar to what the Global Climate Change guys did. They set up a peer review system of insiders with a point to prove and that is what they insure gets published. You may think that that is the general rule in the sciences, but it is not. The American Physical Society maintains pretty high standards and when folks try to manipulate it, resignations happen, and resignations by people who have the respect of the general physics community.

None of the guys on the editorial board are folks that anyone would regard as just good solid capable physicists.
