Marc Seifer, author of the biography Wizard: The Life & Times of Nikola Tesla, says a group of military personnel at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, including Brigadier General L.C. Craigee, had a very different opinion of Tesla’s ideas.
“Craigee was the first person to ever fly a jet plane for the military, so he was like the John Glenn of the day,” Seifer says. “He said, ‘there’s something to this—the particle beam weapon is real.’ So you have two different groups, one group dismissing Tesla’s invention, and another group saying there’s really something to it.”
Then there’s the nagging question of the missing files. When Tesla died, his estate was to go to his nephew, Sava Kosanovic, who at the time was the Yugoslav ambassador to the U.S. (thanks to his familial connection with Serbia’s most celebrated inventor). According to the recently declassified documents, some in the FBI feared Kosanovic was trying to wrest control of Tesla’s technology in order to “make such information available to the enemy,” and even considered arresting him to prevent this.
Despite John G. Trump’s dismissive assessment of Tesla’s ideas immediately after his death, the military did try and incorporate particle-beam weaponry in the decades following World War II, Seifer says. Notably, the inspiration of the “Death Ray” fueled Ronald Reagan’s Strategic Defense Initiative, or “Star Wars” program, in the 1980s. If the government is still using Tesla’s ideas to power its technology, Seifer explains, that could explain why some files related to the inventor still remain classified.
Now consider the insanity of the Mar-a-lago raid?
Could...Elon Musk, actually unlock the Tesla mystery?
And the ongoing narrative that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy?
Interesting...never knew any of this...
Agreed.
Kind of makes you start to realize a few things about the ‘deep state’ and why the incredible ‘fear’ of DJT as President.
DJT’s uncle didn’t die until 1985, there is a lot more to DJT than just real estate.
He competed with Nikola Tesla.
“Tesla humiliated Trump... “,
To compare a van derGraaf generator to a Tesla coil is comparing apples to oranges.
The writer seems to be trying to make Trump seem petty.
One is a progressive rock band and the other is a hair band.
Steve Mitnick spelled Roswell incorrectly...
This is how Barron Trump became a time traveler:
The young fellow embarks on time travelling adventures through human history. Through his travels, he meets societies of people and tribes from long ago, picking up aspects of their language and social customs. Accompanied by his faithful and protective companion hound Bulger, the young Baron navigates a variety of adventures and surmounts many obstacles.
The final book in this volume discusses the rise of a US President and has been variously described as either coincidental or prescient of aspects of the 21st century political climate. Set in an America torn by division and dissent, there are references to a hotel on Fifth Avenue in New York, and an election of an outsider candidate ensuing in a chaotic atmosphere.
btt
He was a very smart guy. LOL.
I would love to be a young DJT and know just exactly what dear Uncle shared with him.
I don’t know why Tesla was working on a “death ray”. I always thought that everything he worked on could kill you, easily.
Trump and the` Genius Uncle’ from Massachusetts
https://franklinobserver.town.news/g/franklin-town-ma/n/277896/trump-and-genius-uncle-massachusetts
As a historian of Greater Boston’s 20th century tech sector, I have long been intrigued by “our Trump,” the uncle of Donald J. Trump. Presidential candidate Trump has occasionally cited the influence of his “genius uncle,” John G. Trump, on him – sometimes crudely implying that he shares his uncle’s smarts through ‘blood.’ Whatever the merits or non-merits of those claims, it is worth thinking about the actual influence of this person, whose name he bears as Donald JOHN Trump, on his thinking, ambitions, and self image.

My absolute favorite Trump conspiracy theory is George Patton is DJT’s biological father. They sure look more alike than DJT’s known father.

Well played.
