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, some of which has been released by the
FBI through the Freedom of Information Act. (I’ve embedded the first 250
pages below and have added a link to the .pdf of the final pages, 290
in total).
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.
