ABonafideGenius
NikolaTesla(b.1856-d.1943)wasafuturist,inventor,scientist,engineer,prophet,seer,
revolutionist, and “Bonafide Genius”. Considered to be the greatest technological
visionaryofalltimehewasthepioneerofAC(AlternatingCurrent)aswellelectricity,

Born and raised in Serbia (moderndayCroatia), Teslamoved toAmerica in hismid-
twenties to fulfil his dreams. Sixty years later in 1943, he died virtually unknown,
destituteandalone inahotel roomat theageofeighty-six. However, in the1990sa
suddensurgeofinterestinhisWorkbegantoemerge,whichuntilthattimehadforthe
most part remained unrecognized and unacknowledged for its pivotal role in
technologicalandsocialevolution.
Tesla’s“WorldSystem”
In 1893 Tesla made a formal declaration in regard to his idea for a wireless
communicationssystembutranoutoffundingbeforehewasabletocompleteit.Hisaim
was to harness the Earth’s natural resources of energy in order to create a wireless
technologythatcouldspancontinentswhichheplannedtodobytransmittingscanner

masterminded a way of naturally sourcing wireless technology after exploring and

TheOriginatorofRadio
However, the heavy cloud that followed Tesla’s Work continued to cast a long dark
shadow. Prior to the Italian electrical engineer and scientist Guglielmo Marconi’s
inventionofradio,Teslahadalreadypioneeredradio-wavetechnologyandregistered
seventeen radio patents. By 1898 he had invented the world’s first radio-controlled
12
device-aremote-controlledboatthathelaunchedpubliclytoacaptivatedaudienceand

Teslawasrepeatedlypushedaside infavorofother inventorsbackedbyBigBusiness
powermongers.Hewaspurposelyshunnedandcontinuallydeniedtheopportunitiesto

the world from financial enslavement. He was ostracized because of the threat his
visionary genius posed to the profiteering agendas of Big Business and their
unscrupulous schemes for collecting taxes on non-renewable energy sources. His
inventionsandpatentswereplagiarizedbyotherinventorswhofell into linewiththe

example is the Alaskan based military ‘project’ HAARP - the ‘High Frequency Active
AuroralResearchProgram’–and itsprimaryagenda toestablishwhat theUSArmed
Forces describe as “full-spectrum dominance.” This goes against everything Tesla
