Let me tell you a story. A story most folks aren’t supposed to know. It’s about a man named Nikola Tesla, a man who wasn’t content to simply wire up the cities of the world, no, he wanted to set humanity free from the chains of paid energy forever. But as you and I both know, when you start tinkering with the profits of the power-brokers, they come after you, hard and fast.
Tesla showed up on American soil around 1884, fresh from Europe, letters of recommendation in hand, and a mind like a lightning bolt. Thomas Edison, already marketing his primitive direct current (DC) electricity, didn’t take kindly to this new kid suggesting something better. Tesla’s alternating current (AC) wasn’t just better, it was revolutionary. With AC, you could send electricity over long distances without burning up the wires. It could light cities, power machinery, and change the world.
But Edison wasn’t interested in a better way. He was interested in his way, the way that kept him and his investors on top and made him a hero.
So Tesla found another friend: George Westinghouse. Unlike Edison, Westinghouse saw the light, literally, and together, they built the first big alternating current power plant at Niagara Falls in 1892. That one plant showed the world that AC power was the future. If the story ended there, Tesla would be a hero taught in every classroom today. But the best part of the story is what happened next, and what they don’t teach in school.
The Invisible Energy of the Earth
See, Tesla wasn’t satisfied with plugging in power plants. He believed the earth itself was brimming with energy, a free-flowing sea of power, waiting to be tapped. He wasn’t guessing either, he proved it in his Colorado Springs experiments in the late 1890s. He discovered what we’d now call the tachyon or aether field, an energy field that exists all around us, just waiting to be captured.
He wasn’t just dreaming about lighting homes. He was talking about powering entire cities wirelessly. No wires. No smoke-belching power plants. No monopolies.
That’s when the real trouble started.
Morgan’s Panic and the Smashing of Dreams
J.P. Morgan, the titan of banking and industrial profits, had been investing in Tesla’s experiments. But when Tesla showed him the plans, tiny boxes and antennas pulling endless power from the sky, Morgan nearly lost his mind. No power meters. No monthly bills. No copper wire empires. Just free energy for the people. He could never let that happen!
Morgan shut it down. Cold.
He ordered the Colorado Springs lab dismantled in 1900. Tesla’s Long Island Wardenclyffe Tower, designed to broadcast wireless energy across the world, was sabotaged in 1905 before it could reach completion. The profiteers wanted power, not empowerment.
And while Tesla’s dreams were being bulldozed, Albert Einstein came along in 1905 with his Special Theory of Relativity. Conveniently enough, it removed the concept of an energy-rich aether from mainstream physics. Funny how that worked out. Suddenly, no one talked about invisible fields of endless energy anymore. And so, Tesla’s discoveries gathered dust.
The Secret Resurfaces: A German Breakthrough
But you can’t bury the truth forever. In 1982, over in Oldenburg, Germany, a little company called Maschinen International Technologies (MIT, GmbH) put Tesla’s ideas back on the road, literally.
They ran a test with three motorbikes:
- Bike A was your standard electric motorbike, two batteries, nothing special. It made it 8.35 kilometers before giving up the ghost.
- Bike B was the same bike, but this one had a tachyon energy converter onboard. It ran 36.3 kilometers, over four times the distance on the same battery charge.
- Bike C was a regular gas-powered bike, running on just 250 ml of gasoline (the same quantity of energy as the battery-powered one). It went 14.7 kilometers.
What powered Bike B to go so far? According to a sworn official overseeing the test, there were no hidden batteries, no radio-controlled power sources, and no tricks. The extra energy came from what they called the “Aether Field” — the same invisible energy Tesla was working with nearly a century before.
Why Don’t We Have This Today?
Simple. Because no one gets rich selling freedom. You can’t slap a patent on the air. You can’t meter the earth’s own energy field. The big money men couldn’t figure out how to corner the market, so they buried it and sold us coal, oil, gas, and nuclear instead. And then they told us we should be grateful.
Nikola Tesla had a car built that was powered by this gravity-stressing energy in 1931. But do you see them in the car sales rooms today? Nope. Not a one. You see hybrids and plug-ins, all tethered to the grid, where someone’s still making a buck every time you charge up.
The Road Ahead
Tesla was a man 100 years ahead of The Greed. Maybe 200. But the truth has a funny way of leaking out between the cracks, no matter how many banks and corporations try to plaster them shut.
If enough of us demand it, if enough people stop buying into the lie that we need to pay for what nature freely provides, maybe we’ll finally finish what Tesla started. The future he saw wasn’t powered by greed. It was powered by freedom.
And I’m all for that.
Enjoying your voice. Great summary and new content.
