Suppressed technology. Fact or fiction?

He failed because his funding was pulled by Morgan.

Do you think that his labs were raided by government agencies after his death for benign reasons?

Obviously they didn't raid his lab for benign reasons. I think they were probably looking to steal his inventions and work, specifically things like the supposed death-rays and earthquake machines.

If funding was the only reason he failed, would it stand to reason the US government would have completed projects based on the work they stole? Shouldn't we have some functional wardenclyffe towers by now?

Why are you so sure that they haven't? I linked you a video showing evidence that the tech is still being experimented with, at the very least.

If you're willing to admit that the government raids labs (they also did this to Leedskalnin and Wilhelm Reich) to steal ideas and secure sensitive tech, why can't you then fathom the likelihood of suppression thereafter? It's not exactly a stretch.

Omg now you've done it. Disparaging N Tesla. There's gonna be butthurt. Fwiw I agree 100%. He did some amazing things then later in life fucked off and pissed away his money experimenting with nonsense

There's still not a lot of evidence for the narrative that he was supressed by some nefarious forces that others weren't subject to.

In a nutshell, he was an inventor who failed in his goal to create some sort of world changing invention which would make him rich like some of his peers eg Edison and Marconi.

AC lost a format war to DC and he ended up selling the patent, making him independently rich enough to pursue being an inventor full time. He then spent his entire life doing all sorts of amazing science and experimentation, which he was allowed to do because America... however he never really came up with anything that had commercial applications during his lifetime. Radio control was considered a novelty, wireless charging only took off relatively recently, and we still don't have wireless electricity beaming across the Atlantic. That's the reason people are still toying with his ideas, because many of them were decades or even centuries ahead of his time.

His accomplishments were recognised at the time as well, he communicated with lots of educational establishments and they all agreed he was an absolute genius. I think the nature of his independence is one of the reasons his legacy wasn't celebrated as much it could have been. Compared to scientists did their work within a university, he had nobody to promote his legacy after his death.

If the big wigs lose money, good luck getting the tech out. Water powered cars would never see the light of day even if created. The amount of money and jobs lost would be catastrophic.

Nah, they'd just figure out a way to charge us exponentially more for water.

What would the purpose of suppression be? I believe the government raid labs because they want to steal tech they can use to get an advantage over rival nations. When they harboured Nazi rocket scientists, they resulted in the US Space programme. When they made a deal with the japanese unit 731 scientists, we saw great advances in medical technology due to the forbidden experiments they did.

I just don't see the equivalent for tesla related tech. All of his books and much of his research is freely available online, so everyone is free to experiment with his tech, and so far we've had commercial success with wireless charging for mobile phones and electric toothbrushes, and not much else.

Have you never played Mortal Kombat?

The point of suppression is consolidated power.

If you discovered the key to immortality, who would you tell?

His stuff, as you say, is available online. But you also admit that the government raided his labs, and you don't seem to see the issue with taking both stances. If they raided his labs, it stands to reason that they took some of the knowledge for themselves. The entire point of raiding the lab is to keep that information from you and others.

Added to that, why raid the lab in the first place if there's nothing there sensitive enough to be worth raiding it for? Clearly they, unlike you, thought there was good reason for it.

BTW the rocket tech for space travel is a dog and pony show.

I think timing and the allocation of resources is a factor.

 

[fungi]

17 mins? Ain't nobody got time for dat!

Cliphs:
Light bulb conspiracy
Apple shenanigans
GM 1-year car plan


There's nothing fictional about that...

That misconception is by design, that's the point. It makes people think of the product as being more scarce than it actually is.

Yeah, but the way it was presented was “These fuels aren’t actually from fossils.”

I mean, it doesn’t matter all that much how scarce the resource is if only a few different forms can supply it.

And the argument was also “This information was suppressed.” No. No, it wasn’t. It was given a sort of deceptive sounding name, at most.

What you are doing here is known as moving the goalpost.

I'm not moving the goal posts at all. I originally shared that video as a response to another poster who commented on the scarcity of oil. It was tangential to begin with.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

I think technology is suppressed when there is money to be made on other tech. For instance, the coal industry is going to fight nuclear and other energy. Oil is going to fight electric. Some of it will be political, some will even go as far as murder to protect their industry.

Telsa was supposedly developing free, wireless power and was either close to finishing or it was finished and he just needed to scale it out. All of that work was burned. Was it real and the electric industry buried it or was it just proof of concept?

I do think if someone had a major breakthrough nowadays though like water powered cars, it would be hard to cover up and it would be embraced. Or so I hope.

Lol. Well, nestle and all these bottled watered companies are already doing it. They literally pump out our water where we live and sell it right back to the people. People are suckers so they buy it. I could fill the same bottles back with tap water, seal them and no one would be the wiser.

"As wildfires rage all over drought-stricken BC, the provincial government is still letting companies like Nestlé take water for $2.25 per million litres.


It is outrageous that Nestlé can draw limitless amounts of Canada's natural resources to sell for a huge profit while British Columbians are asked to not water our lawns and take shorter showers."


Political and corporate greed at its finest.
