In Tesla, Man Out of Time by Margaret Cheney, we read in her biography of Tesla that he believed we must all have an ideal to govern our conduct, but it is immaterial whether it be one of creed, art, science or anything else as long as it fulfills the function of “dematerializing forces.”
Although his father was a minister of the gospel, Tesla was not into the doctrines and dogmas of the church. Said Tesla, “While I have failed to obtain any evidence in support of the contentions of psychologists and spiritualists, I have proved to my complete satisfaction the automatism of life, not only through continuous observations of individual actions, but even more conclusively through certain generalizations.” He believed we react to external stimulus, and that we are mechanical. Some day robots, said Tesla, will be able to do the same as we do. What did Tesla mean by “dematerializing forces?” Robots cannot be equipped with consciousness; it’s something God gave us. Like Einstein, Tesla was limited to physical observations. If fact, Einstein had the greatest admiration for Tesla.
Tesla struggled all of his life to take his many disappointments philosophically. He had the idea that since he was out of his time that people didn’t understand what he knew to be true. He wrote his banker, J.P. Morgan, “We are but cogwheels in the medium of the universe, and it is . . .an unavoidable consequence of the laws governing the pioneer who is far in advance of the age is not understood and must suffer pain and disappointment and be content with the higher reward which is accorded to him by posterity.” I don’t follow what Tesla meant by the “higher reward accorded by posterity” Cogwheels? Craving a grand lifestyle, but always hard up, the visionary Tesla said we are machines reacting to our experiences. I have a problem with that idea.
Tesla was the inventor of alternating current. He made a deal with Westinghouse to replace Edison’s direct current. With little cash in the palm, Tesla was to get a royalty on the AC power sold. But due to Tesla’s royalty agreement, Westinghouse was unable to borrow the money needed. Westinghouse hated to ask Tesla the way he did, but he offered to let Tesla wave his royalty for the sake of posterity. Tesla waved his royalty. Westinghouse and posterity benefitted. Westinghouse never returned the favor. Tesla understood that’s the way the system works. Be that as it may, but why let yourself be here for posterity and everyone else for self? Let’s see what happens.
Tesla discovered wireless communication and presented his plan to J.P. Morgan to build a world broadcasting station. Morgan agreed to loan Tesla $150,000. It was enough to start the project but Tesla needed more. Then too, Morgan was slow about advancing the money. Marconi stole Tesla’s idea and got the jump. Marconi got credit for discovering wireless communication. Poor Tesla never raised the money needed to complete his world broadcasting plan. Once again, Tesla did something great for posterity, without one dime of financial reward.
Tesla, who gave the world so much, late in life a recluse, hung a “do not disturb sign” on the door of his hotel room home and proceeded to die of a heart attack, we’re told, in his bed at age 86. There is no evidence of foul play, in so far as we know, but it’s a mystery of what happened to the many boxes of Tesla’s papers he stored in the hotel’s basement. They disappeared, later to turn up, but not all—after the United States examined them. The United States doesn’t know anything about it.
There is something familiar about this. I recall that my truck driver refused to join the union where he was delivering lumber. An autopsy ruled that he died of brain concussion. He fell off the bed of his truck and landed on his head, so the union told us. There was no investigation made.
In the biography of Tesla, we read, “On October 24, 1947, David L. Bazelon, assistant attorney general and director of the Office of Alien Property, wrote to the commanding officer of the Air Technical Service Command, Wright Field, Dayton, Ohio, regarding the Tesla Photostats that had been sent by registered mail on or about September 11, 1945, to Colonel Holliday, at the latter’s request.” Did you know that in the Attorney General’s office there a Director of the Office of Alien Property? Wright Field denies having any hidden evidence of extraterrestrials, but there is much evidence that it does. Did Colonel Holliday have Tesla killed? We’ll never know. But we know the United States had some of Tesla’s papers. How did the United States get those papers?
Those who are not satisfied with the answers bureaucrats give them, those who look within for their answers, asked about the missing Tesla files. “Our records do not reveal that this material has been returned,” said Assistant Attorney General Bazelon to Wright Field. He requested that they be returned. Wright Field replied: “These reports are now in the possession of the Electronic Subdivision and are being evaluated.” Evaluated for what?
There is no record that the Tesla files were ever returned. The office that had the files has been “deactivated.” We know Wright Field kept some of Tesla’s papers and refused to return them. What’s left of Tesla’s papers may be seen in the Tesla Museum in Belgrade. We’ll never know if Tesla died of natural causes.
In his biography we are told that toward the end of his life, Tesla continued to speak of wireless communication, not only on this planet but with the universe, and that he knew there was other intelligent life in the universe. How did he know? What did this man out of time know that we don’t know? Do we really need to know? The United States obviously doesn’t think so.
In the past, it was Wall Street tycoons in control. Those in control today, Democrat Obama and his revolutionary czars, Democrat dingbat Pelosi of loony San Francisco, Democrat Prince Harry, whose relative was hung for being a horse thief and cattle rustler, Democrat Frank, the tongue tied homosexual who ran a male prostitution racket from his office, Democrat on-the-take, wheeler-dealer Dodd, and the Democrats’ police state bureaucrats, not to mention fat cat Wall Street frauds, all believing there is no need for everyone to know what they know. We’re finding out there is a great deal we didn’t know.
Tesla doing all that he did for posterity, did you know that in poverty, disillusioned, all alone, dying in suffering and shame, Tesla was ripped-off by the United States? I didn’t know this until I read Margaret Cheney’s biography.
At the recent Glenn Beck “Restoring Honor” rally at the Lincoln Memorial, 500,000 loyal Americans repeated our Pledge of Allegiance: “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
America’s masters of deceit, declaring it unconstitutional, have removed under God from the Pledge. The federal judiciary, big government, big labor, General Electric, the NAACP, and the ACLU, all want you to work for posterity—for the good of all. You now know where it got Tesla. Vote your conscience on November 2, 2010.
