The Prometheus Game

[Kysmett]

I think that while I agree in principle with the 'simple fact' analysis, I think there is something else at work.

All things happen in their season.  We are working in the underground (some of us litteraly have to use our basements) to bring things to light that are against what the established commercial society might stand for.  The abundance of information we have on Tesla now is only a function of the growth of our movement....and something else.

That something else is what I want to talk about.  Although there are more and more books about Tesla, they are saying less and less, if anything at all.  Most are rehashings of works already in print.  There is one more thing effecting the print world.  Dilution.  If there were one book about Tesla, and every one knew what the title was, it would be the absolute authority.  Any attempt to print a second would come under great scrutiny and most likely be considered a fraud until ALL of what it contained could be verified with the original.  The farther away you get from this point, the fewer questions about veracity need to be answered before it is accepted.  The subject becomes more diluted with speculation and supposition each quoting the former speculations and suppositions, until eventually all the fact is lost to the myth that grows like a crystal around the seed that started it. 

Teslas life work is falling into this category.  There are people watching this movement, this market, this market dilution.  There are a few motivations that are driving it.  First off you have old fashioned greed.  Authors write what people want to read, and thus buy.  You have more and more people researching the work and at the same time adding their hollywood spin to it(helping sales) and then a year later that spin is being quoted by yet another author.  The second motivation is malicious disinformation.  Someone is guarding the manuscripts that were stolen.  Someone is hoarding all of that classified information(I think that even that is contracted out to the highest bidder) and it would be in their best interest that those that are trying to reconstruct what might have happened were lead down as many blind alleys as possible. 

Beware of what you read.  The subject might be appealing, but it may only be a marketing ploy to lead you astray.  Follow up on the bibliographies, find the quotes in context and trace them to their source.  It will take only weeks instead of years experimenting with false inspiration and information.

Make haste cautiously

Great points, as usual, Kysmett.

The fact that his concepts make use of profoundly simple principles is a leading cause for such expensive and 'misdirective' (from a human and financial standpoint) efforts on the part of many parties, each with it's own 'vested' interest in such matters.

   That is exactly the point Kysmett. That is what I continue to repeat ad infinitum. Only books with footnotes and direct references to the original documents, or THE original documents by Tesla (lectures, interviews, patents) or his contemporary editors and fellow researchers (Johnson, TC Martin, Stone Stone etc) must be taken seriously. However it did not take me mere weeks to gather and most of all absorb this, it took me 5 years of research, and it is not over yet.

I have only begun to read and gather any information abut Tesla, and I must agree with his theories etc.  The problem I have is that there is alot of conflicting information about his work and even 'copies' of his notes, etc., vary when I see them.  Could anyone here recommend a good book (or ten), site or whatever that isn't disinformed or set up to disinform?  It would be my great pleasure to collect true info according to the unadulterated underground concensus.  I'm rather fed up with the runaround, and sometimes the 'reacharound' I have to go through to find info....

I must concur with Ken....where can be found such a 'Teslandrian Library'?


Would that there be found a simple shortcut to running and reaching.....around.


If I get my paw(s) on it.....I'll see what I can cobble together.
