A few months ago, I did some research on Tesla, and I have something to add. The story says that J. P. Morgan was a silent financial backer of Tesla until Tesla invented a means of delivering electricity for free. What your article and film don't say was, J. P. Morgan had a monopoly on the America's copper. You can imagine what Tesla's invention would have done to the market for copper wires. The story also fails to mention that Tesla's laboratory burned to the ground, apparently an act of arson, not long after Morgan withdrew his support for Tesla. That's the kind of people we face today.
'Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power
obtainable at any point of the universe. Throughout space there is
energy. -- Nikola Tesla, 1892
Nikola Tesla is finally beginning to attract real attention and
encourage serious debate nearly 70 years after his death. Was he for
real? A crackpot? Part of an early experiment in corporate-government
control?
We know that he was undoubtedly persecuted by the energy power brokers
of his day -- namely Thomas Edison, whom we are taught in school to
revere as a genius. He was also attacked by J.P. Morgan and other
"captains of industry." Upon Tesla's death on January 7th, 1943, the
U.S. government moved into his lab and apartment confiscating all of his
scientific research, and to this day none of this research has been
made public.
Besides his persecution by corporate-government interests (which is
practically a certification of authenticity), there is at least one
solid indication of Nikola Tesla's integrity -- he tore up a contract
with Westinghouse that was worth billions in order to save the company
from paying him his huge royalty payments.
But, let's take a look at what Nikola Tesla -- a man who died broke and
alone -- has actually given to the world. For better or worse, with
credit or without, he changed the face of the planet in ways that
perhaps no man ever has.
1. Alternating Current -- This is where it all
began, and what ultimately caused such a stir at the 1893 World's Expo
in Chicago. A war was leveled ever-after between the vision of Edison
and the vision of Tesla for how electricity would be produced and
distributed. The division can be summarized as one of cost and safety:
The DC current that Edison (backed by General Electric) had been
working on was costly over long distances, and produced dangerous
sparking from the required converter (called a commutator).
Regardless, Edison and his backers utilized the general "dangers" of
electric current to instill fear in Tesla's alternative: Alternating
Current. As proof, Edison sometimes electrocuted animals at
demonstrations. Consequently, Edison gave the world the electric
chair, while simultaneously maligning Tesla's attempt to offer safety
at a lower cost. Tesla responded by demonstrating that AC was perfectly
safe by famously shooting current through his own body to produce
light. This Edison-Tesla (GE-Westinghouse) feud in 1893 was the
culmination of over a decade of shady business deals, stolen ideas, and
patent suppression that Edison and his moneyed interests wielded over
Tesla's inventions. Yet, despite it all, it is Tesla's system that
provides power generation and distribution to North America in our
modern era.
2. Light -- Of course he didn't invent light itself, but he did
invent how light can be harnessed and distributed. Tesla developed and
used florescent bulbs in his lab some 40 years before
industry "invented" them. At the World's Fair, Tesla took
glass tubes and bent them into famous scientists' names, in effect
creating the first neon signs. However, it is his Tesla
Coil that might be the most impressive, and controversial. The Tesla
Coil is certainly something that big industry would have liked to
suppress: the concept that the Earth itself is a magnet that can
generate electricity (electromagnetism) utilizing frequencies as a
transmitter. All that is needed on the other end is the receiver --
much like a radio.
3. X-rays -- Electromagnetic and ionizing radiation was heavily
researched in the late 1800s, but Tesla researched the entire gamut.
Everything from a precursor to Kirlian photography,
which has the ability to document life force, to what we now use in
medical diagnostics, this was a transformative invention of which Tesla played a central role.
X-rays, like so many of Tesla's contributions, stemmed from his belief
that everything we need to understand the universe is virtually around
us at all times, but we need to use our minds to develop real-world
devices to augment our innate perception of existence.
4. Radio -- Guglielmo Marconi was initially credited, and most
believe him to be the inventor of radio to this day. However, the
Supreme Court overturned Marconi's patent in 1943, when it was proven
that Tesla invented the radio years previous to Marconi. Radio signals
are just another frequency that needs a transmitter and receiver, which
Tesla also demonstrated in 1893 during a presentation before The
National Electric Light Association. In 1897 Tesla applied for two
patents US 645576, and US 649621.
In 1904, however, The U.S. Patent Office reversed its decision,
awarding Marconi a patent for the invention of radio, possibly
influenced by Marconi's financial backers in the States, who included
Thomas Edison and Andrew Carnegie. This also allowed the U.S.
government (among others) to avoid having to pay the royalties that
were being claimed by Tesla.
5. Remote Control -- This invention was a natural outcropping of radio. Patent No. 613809
was the first remote controlled model boat, demonstrated in 1898.
Utilizing several large batteries; radio signals controlled switches,
which then energized the boat's propeller, rudder, and scaled-down
running lights. While this exact technology was not widely used for some
time, we now can see the power that was appropriated by the military in
its pursuit of remote controlled war.
Radio controlled tanks were introduced by the Germans in WWII, and
developments in this realm have since slid quickly away from the
direction of human freedom.
6. Electric Motor -- Tesla's invention of the electric motor has finally been popularized by a car
brandishing his name. While the technical specifications are beyond
the scope of this summary, suffice to say that Tesla's invention of a
motor with rotating magnetic fields could have freed mankind much sooner
from the stranglehold of Big Oil. However, his invention in 1930
succumbed to the economic crisis and the world war that followed.
Nevertheless, this invention has fundamentally changed the landscape of
what we now take for granted: industrial fans, household applicances,
water pumps, machine tools, power tools, disk drives, electric
wristwatches and compressors.
7. Robotics -- Tesla's overly enhanced scientific mind led him to
the idea that all living beings are merely driven by external
impulses. He stated: "I have by every thought and act of mine,
demonstrated, and does so daily, to my absolute satisfaction that I am
an automaton endowed with power of movement, which merely responds to
external stimuli." Thus, the concept of the robot was born. However,
an element of the human remained present, as Tesla asserted that these
human replicas should have limitations -- namely growth and propagation.
Nevertheless, Tesla unabashedly embraced all of what intelligence could
produce. His visions for a future filled with intelligent cars,
robotic human companions, and the use of sensors, and autonomous systems
are detailed in a must-read entry in the Serbian Journal of Electrical Engineering, 2006 (PDF).
8. Laser -- Tesla's invention of the laser may be one of the best
examples of the good and evil bound up together within the mind of
man. Lasers have transformed surgical applications in an undeniably
beneficial way, and they have given rise to much of our current digital
media. However, with this leap in innovation we have also crossed into
the land of science fiction. From Reagan's "Star Wars" laser defense
system to today's Orwellian "non-lethal" weapons'
arsenal, which includes laser rifles and directed energy "death rays,"
there is great potential for development in both directions.
9 and 10. Wireless Communications and Limitless Free Energy --
These two are inextricably linked, as they were the last straw for the
power elite -- what good is energy if it can't be metered and
controlled? Free? Never. J.P. Morgan backed Tesla with $150,000 to
build a tower that would use the natural frequencies of our universe to
transmit data, including a wide range of information communicated
through images, voice messages, and text. This represented the world's
first wireless communications, but it also meant that aside from the
cost of the tower itself, the universe was filled with free energy that
could be utilized to form a world wide web connecting all people in all
places, as well as allow people to harness the free energy around them.
Essentially, the 0's and 1's of the universe are embedded in the fabric
of existence for each of us to access as needed. Nikola Tesla was
dedicated to empowering the individual to receive and transmit this data
virtually free of charge. But we know the ending to that story . . .
until now?
Tesla had perhaps thousands of other ideas and inventions that remain unreleased. A look at his hundreds of patents
shows a glimpse of the scope he intended to offer. If you feel that
the additional technical and scientific research of Nikola Tesla should
be revealed for public scrutiny and discussion, instead of suppressed by
big industry and even our supposed institutions of higher education,
join the world's call to tell power brokers everywhere that we are
ready to Occupy Energy and learn about what our universe really has to
offer. Facebook page here.
The release of Nikola Tesla's technical and scientific research --
specifically his research into harnessing electricity from the
ionosphere at a facility called Wardenclyffe -- is a necessary step
toward true freedom of information. Please add your voice by sharing
this information with as many people as possible.
For additional information about the demand for release, please visit: http://releaseteslasresearch.weebly.com/
As they state:
Tell your
friends, bring it up and discuss it at your next general assembly, do
whatever you can to get the word out, organize locally to make a stand
for the release of Nikola Tesla's research.... America is tired of
corrupt corporate greed, supported by The American government, holding
us back in a stagnant society in the name of profit . . . The Energy
Crisis is a lie.
As an aside: there are some who have
pointed out that Tesla's experimentation with the ionosphere very well
could have caused the massive explosion over Tunguska, Siberia in 1908, which leveled an estimated 60 million trees over 2,150 square kilometers, and may even have led to the much maligned HAARP technology. I submit that we would do well to remember that technology is never the true enemy; it is the misuse of technology that can enslave rather than free mankind from its animal-level survivalism.
Please view the video below, which does an excellent job at
personalizing this largely forgotten human being, as well as show the
reasons why to this day he is not a household name.
