Forums - General - The Conspiracy Theory Thread - This week: Tesla

Everyone loves a good conspiracy theory - and I've got knowledge of a wide range of them to discuss with you - I'll be making a new one of these every week. :)

I'll post up the facts, and then you have to make your own decision on the matter. This week, I want to talk about a topic that raises some interesting questions about the potential for a worldwide free electricity supply, and the possibility of a weapon so powerful that it would effectively end war.

- Nikola Tesla was born in 1856 in present day Croatia. He spent his childhood fascinated by maths and engineering, and at the age of 24 he invented the induction motor.

- 4 years later he went to America to talk with his hero, Thomas Edison. The meeting didn't go well, but Edison still hired Tesla. After a few months, Tesla resigned to work on his system of alternating current.

- 10 years later, Tesla passed away in a New York hotel room. The US government confiscated his notes, and they were held in the office of Alien Papers before eventually being shipped back to Europe... or were they?

- We know that Tesla attempted to create death rays, wireless energy and powerful gyroscopes. But there's one thing we don't know - what was in those papers?

- Many believe that the US government suppressed Tesla's technology; in an interview with the New York Times, Tesla claimed that he had invented a giant death-ray that would effectively end war, since it would be too easy for countries to destroy each other.

- However, his strangest invention was a free, worldwide electricity system. With funding from J.P.Morgan, he built the Wardenclyffe Tower which Morgan hoped would allow for wireless communication across the world; but Tesla had other plans - he wanted to create an energy system that would use the earth as a conductor. If the project worked, it would allow anyone to have electricity, simply by sticking a rod into the ground.

- Unfortunately, free electricity isn't profitable, and this system could be very dangerous for the global elite. Imagine how different the world would be if society didn't need oil and coal to function!

- Tesla's technology didn't necessarily disappear; some believe that the government continues to test these ideas at the HAARP facility in Alaska. (http://www.borderlands.com/newstuff/research/teslahaa.htm)

- There is no way to know for sure what was in Tesla's notes, and whether the government continues to expand on those ideas today. If they are, they're doing a very good job of covering their tracks. However, the US has a reputation for developing secret technology before releasing it to the public, and the same could be happening here.

- Tesla believed in many things, such as extratessestrials and wireless energy, among other things that were yet to be proven to mainstream science, and there is no doubt that he was an incredibly intellegent man and a great scientist. This conspiracy is mainly based around rumours, but there is always the possibility that there is something deeper behind this story.

What do you think? :)

Always been interested in Tesla - crazy genius scientist.

Wouldn't be surprised if any of those rumours were true, but it's probably exaggerated.



I don't believe in conspiracy theories, but Tesla was awesome enough that I believe in every conspiracy theory about him.

However, your timeline seems to indicate that Tesla was only about 38 when he died. He actually lived to be eighty-something.



Tesla is a very interesting man. I have enjoyed all the History Channel specials on him and other documentaries.  Sorry I can't add too much to the thread...

Oh yeah- I think I missed out a bullet point :s I'll edit it later :p

Well very quick research tells me that Tesla died at the age of 86, not 38 as implied in the OP (24+4+10).

If you can't even get that one basic fact right, I'm inclined to not bother even talking about the rest of your claims.

I never liked Tesla. Their career highlight was opening up for Def Leppard if that tells you anything.

Hehehe!!

Very interesting stuff, radishhead. Ive never heard of this guy before. I wonder why...? Anyweay, this thread is awesome. Keep it up! 



One of the greatest serbs to ever live !

In Serbia we have our biggest air port named after him and his face on 100 dinars bill



About time someone made a thread on Tesla.

One of the greatest scientists ever in my opinion, alongside Pasteur, Newton and Da Vinci. If there are conspiracies of any kind, Tesla was definitely the man they silenced.
