The 18 Most Suppressed Inventions


The 18 Most Suppressed Inventions

 The Original Electric Car: Unplugged?


The ORIGINAL ELECTRIC CAR:
  UNPLUGGED?




Perhaps the most notorious suppressed invention is the General Motors EV1, subject of the 2006 documentary, Who Killed the Electric Car? The EV1 was the world’s first mass-produced electric car, with 800 of them up for lease from GM in the late ’90s. GM ended the EV1 line in 1999, stating that consumers weren’t happy with the limited driving range of the car’s batteries, making it unprofitable to continue production.

Many skeptics, however, believe GM killed the EV1 under pressure from oil companies, who stand to lose the most if high-efficiency vehicles conquer the market. It didn’t help that GM hunted down and destroyed every last EV1, ensuring the technology would die out.


The DEATH of the AMERICAN STREETCAR

The Death of the American Streetcar

In 1921, if the streetcar industry wasn’t actually naming streetcars Desire, it was certainly desiring more streetcars. They netted $1 billion, causing General Motors to hemorrhage $65 million in the face of a thriving industry. GM retaliated by buying and closing hundreds of independent railway companies, boosting the market for gas-guzzling GM buses and cars. While a recent urban movement to rescue mass transit has been underway, it is unlikely we’ll ever see streetcars return to their former glory.

The 99-MPG Car

The 99-MPG CAR


The holy grail of automotive technology is the 99-mpg car. Although the technology has been available for years, automakers have deliberately withheld it from the U.S. market. In 2000, the New York Times reported a little-known fact, at least to most: A diesel-powered dynamo called the Volkswagen Lupo had driven around the world averaging higher than 99 mpg. The Lupo was sold in Europe from 1998 to 2005 but, once again, automakers prevented it from coming to market; they claimed Americans had no interest in small, fuel-efficient cars.


FREE ENERGY

Free Energy

Nikola Tesla was more than just the inspiration for a hair metal band, he was also an undisputed genius. In 1899, he figured out a way to bypass fossil-fuel-burning power plants and power lines, proving that “free energy” could be harnessed using ionization in the upper atmosphere to produce electrical vibrations. J.P. Morgan, who had been funding Tesla’s research, had a bit of buyer’s remorse when he realized that free energy for all wasn’t as profitable as, say, actually charging people for every watt of energy use. Morgan then drove another nail in free energy’s coffin by chasing away other investors, ensuring Tesla’s dream would die.


MIRACLE CANCER CURE
Miracle Cancer Cure

In 2001, Nova Scotian Rick Simpson discovered that a cancerous spot on his skin disappeared within a few days of applying an essential oil made from marijuana. Since then, Simpson and others have treated thousands of cancer patients with incredible success. Researchers in Spain have confirmed that THC, an active compound in marijuana, kills brain-tumor cells in human subjects and shows promise with breast, pancreatic and liver tumors. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, however, classifies marijuana as a Schedule I drug, meaning that it has no accepted medical use, unlike Schedule II drugs, like cocaine and methamphetamine, which may provide medical benefits. What a buzzkill.


WATER-POWERED VEHICLES
Water-Powered Vehicles 


Despite how silly it sounds, water-fueled vehicles do exist. The most famous is Stan Meyer’s dune buggy, which achieved 100 miles per gallon and might have become more commonplace had Meyer not succumbed to a suspicious brain aneurysm at 57. Insiders have loudly claimed that Meyer was poisoned after he refused to sell his patents or end his research. Fearing a conspiracy, his partners have all but gone underground (or should we say underwater?) and taken his famed water-powered dune buggy with them. We just hope someone finally brings back the amphibious car.


CHRONOVISOR

Chronovisor

What if you had a device that could see into the future and revisit the past? And what if you didn’t need Christopher Lloyd to help you? Father Pellegrino Maria Ernetti, an Italian priest, claimed in the 1960s to have invented what he called a Chronovisor, something that allowed him to witness Christ’s crucifixion. The device supposedly enabled viewers to watch any event in human history by tuning in to remnant vibrations that are caused by every action. (His team of researchers and builders included Enrico Fermi, who also worked on the first atomic bomb). On his deathbed, Fermi admitted that he had faked viewings of ancient Greece and Christ’s demise, but insisted the Chronovisor, which had by then vanished, still worked. Unsurprisingly, conspiracy theorists say the Vatican is now the likely owner of the original Chronovisor.


RIFE DEVICES

Rife Devices

American inventor Royal Rife (his real name), in 1934, cured 14 “terminal” cancer patients and hundreds of animal cancers by aiming his “beam ray” at what he called the “cancer virus.” So why isn’t the Rife Ray in use today?A 1986 book, The Cancer Cure That Worked, Fifty Years of Suppression, by Barry Lynes and John Crane, revived the Rife device affair. The book, written in a style typical of conspiratorial theorists, cites names, dates, events and places, giving the appearance of authenticity to a mixture of historical documents and speculations selectively spun into a web far too complex to permit verification by any thing short of a army of investigators with unlimited resources. The authors claim that Rife successfully demonstrated his device’s cancer curing ability in 1934, but that “all reports describing the cure were censored by the head of the AMA from the major medical journals.” A 1953 U.S. Senate special investigation concluded that Fishbein and the AMA had conspired with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to suppress various alternative cancer treatments that conflicted with the AMA’s pre-determined view that “radium, x-ray therapy and surgery are the only recognized treatments for cancer.”


CLOUDBUSTER

Cloudbuster

In 1953, a drought threatened Maine’s blueberry crop, and several farmers offered to pay Reich if he could make it rain. The weather bureau had reportedly forecast no rain for several days when Reich began the experiment at 10 a.m. on July 6, 1953. TheBangor Daily News reported on July 24:

Dr. Reich and three assistants set up their “rain-making” device off the shore of Grand Lake. The device, a set of hollow tubes, suspended over a small cylinder, connected by a cable, conducted a “drawing” operation for about an hour and ten minutes. According to a reliable source in Ellsworth the following climatic changes took place in that city on the night of July 6 and the early morning of July 7: “Rain began to fall shortly after ten o’clock Monday evening, first as a drizzle and then by midnight as a gentle, steady rain. Rain continued throughout the night, and a rainfall of 0.24 inches was recorded in Ellsworth the following morning.”

A puzzled witness to the “rain-making” process said: “The queerest looking clouds you ever saw began to form soon after they got the thing rolling.” And later the same witness said the scientists were able to change the course of the wind by manipulation of the device.

The blueberry crop survived, the farmers declared themselves satisfied, and Reich received his fee


OVERUNITY GENERATOR

Overunity Generator

A number of overunity generators, which produce more energy than they take to run, have surfaced in the past century. Ironically, they have been more trouble than they were worth. In nearly all cases, a supposedly working prototype has been unable to make it to commercial production as a result of various corporate or government forces working against the technology. Recently, the Lutec 1000, an “electricity amplifier,” has been making steady progress toward a final commercial version. Will consumers soon be able to buy it, or will it too be suppressed?




COLD FUSION


Billions of dollars have been spent researching how to create energy using controlled “hot fusion,” a risky and unpredictable line of experimentation. Meanwhile, garage scientists and a fringe group of university researchers have been getting closer to harnessing the power of “cold fusion,” which is much more stable and controllable, but far less supported by government and foundation money. In 1989, Martin Fleischmann and Stanley Pons announced that they had made a breakthrough and had observed cold fusion in a glass jar on their lab bench. To say the reaction they received was chilly would be an understatement. CBS’s 60 Minutes described how the resulting backlash from the well-funded hot-fusion crowd sent the researchers underground and overseas, where within a few years their funding dried up, forcing them to drop their pursuit of clean energy.


HOT FUSION



Hot Fushion

Cold fusion isn’t the only technology to get buried by hot-headed scientists. When two physicists who were working on the decades-long Tokamak Hot Fusion project at Los Alamos Laboratory stumbled across a cheaper, safer method of creating energy from colliding atoms, they were allegedly forced to repudiate their own discoveries or be fired; the lab feared losing the torrent of government money for Tokamak. In retaliation, the lead researchers created the Focus Fusion Society, which raises private money to fund their research outside of government interference.


MAGNETOFUNK and HIMMELKOMPAS
 

Magnetofunk and Himmelkompass



Nazi scientists spent much of World War II hidden in a covert military base somewhere in the arctic, creating the Magnetofunk. This alleged invention was designed to deflect the compasses of Allied aircraft that might be searching for Point 103, as the base was known. The aircraft pilots would think they were flying in a straight line, but would gradually curve around Point 103 without ever knowing they were deceived. The Himmelkompass allowed German navigators to orient themselves to the position of the sun, rather than magnetic forces, so they could find Point 103 despite the effects of the Magnetofunk. According to Wilhelm Landig, a former SS officer, these two devices were closely guarded secrets of the Third Reich. So closely guarded were they that neither device apparently survived the collapse of Hitler’s Germany, although the real tragedy is that no one has ever named their band Magnetofunk.

US Government Gives Classified Tesla Technology to UN for Sustainable Development Scheme

US Government Gives Classified Tesla Technology to UN for Sustainable Development Scheme

 

By Susanne Posel


Wireless energy transfer (WET), a.k.a. wireless energy transmission, is the transference of electromagnetic energy transmitted from a central power source without the use of connecting wires.

Tesla’s coil experiments, proving the feasibility of WET, during his experiments in Colorado in the early 1900s were the pre-cursor to the “inventions” in this field today.

After Tesla died, the US government confiscated all documents pertaining to his experiments and classified them. Since the 1950s the US government has held this technology in secret.

In the UK, the induction power transfer (IPT) is the first commercially available wireless electric car charger. HaloIPT, a start-up corporation, has released this technology in certain areas of England’s motorways or car parks. Electric cars will be charged automatically when the integrated receiver pad is enabled.

General Motors (GM) has invested $5 million into a wireless charging device called PowerMat that uses inductive charging, which transmits electricity via magnets without any actual, physical connection. Since GM is owned by the US government, their new device may have more to do with the release of certain Tesla technology covertly.

Marin Solja
čić, assistant professor at MIT, searching for ways to transmit power wirelessly, focused on mid-range power that could charge portable devices, such as cell phones, PDAs and laptops. Using the phenomenon of resonant coupling, Soljačić was able to tune two objects to the same frequency to exchange energy.
Magnetic resonance can freely transfer magnetic fields with little effect on the surrounding environment. This technique enables devices to automatically recharge by wireless transfer.






Solja
čić attracted the attention of the US Department of Defense (DoD); which is now funding more projects to perfect the technology. According to their Fiscal Year 2012 Operational Energy Budget Certification Report, they are researching experiments to facilitate the energy required for military operations. In the name of national security, the DoD is “directly [supporting] military operations [that] require a steady supply of energy for mission success”. WET technology obviously would expedite this need.

In conjunction with the “2009 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) directed theappointment of a Director of Operational Energy Plans and Programs in the DoD . . . are coordinating and overseeing program activities related to the implementation of operational energy [strategies], research and development, investments” for the exclusive use of the US government.

Dr. Heinz Schandal, lead researcher for the Social Systems, Institutions and Governance in the Social and Economic Sciences Program at CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems, is working with governments and local communities in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region to make “recommendations” regarding industrial and developing nations, and their relationship to sustainability.


Schandal, working with the United National Environment Program (UNEP), under the CSIRO Sustainable Ecosystems Corporation, is coercing and pressuring nations worldwide through eco-terrorism to alter their lifestyle and consumption to reflect the UNEP’s international regulations.

In Australia, the UNEP and Schanal are admonishing the government of consequences of their resource use and emissions.

Seeking to change governmental policy to reflect the UN’s sustainable development adherence, as well as control individual household rights to energy and consumption, Australia is being pressured to adopt the mandates in the Growing the Green Collar Economy report.

The Millennium Project of the American Council for the United Nations University is turning toward WET to answer global energy needs. Solja
čić’s technique for resonance transfer of magnetic fields is the perfect technology to further the UN’s movement toward governance over the world’s use of electricity.

The UN admonishes carbon dioxide emissions as the direct causation to global warming (although this theory has been debunked by empirical scientific data). With wireless energy transmission, Jerome Glenn, director of the Millennium Project, claims they will avert a “potentially catastrophic” global problem “and eventually open up new energy sources such as solar panels in Earth’s orbit.”

Funding for the UN’s new control endeavor is coming from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in collaboration with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Electric Power Research Institute.


Essentially, the US government is working with the UN to develop wireless energy transmission technology for the express use of the UN.

The support of the US government in the schemes of global governance of the UN locks this once independent nation into being an accessory to the march of the globalist Elite toward one world government.

The Original Electric Car Conspiracy


The Original Electric Car Conspiracy
A 'Black' History of Our Oil Addiction

 

1914 Ford electric car prototype
Ford engineer Fred Allison test drives second experimental electric car powered by Edison nickel iron battery at Henry's Highland Park farm in the summer of 1914. Photo courtesy of Edwin Black.

Thomas Edison had spent $3.5 million between 1903 and 1910 (equivalent to $71 million today) perfecting his nickel iron battery. He claimed it was half the weight of lead acid and had twice the energy density. His electric cars were demonstrably superior to the competition that were powered at the time by what we today know as Exide batteries, then controlled by a group of cartels. Those cartels sought to monopolize all forms of automotive transportation from bicycles to automobiles, gasoline and electric.

Just as Edison and Henry Ford were about to go into business together to offer a low cost electric car comparable to the Model T, a suspicious fire destroyed nearly all of Edison's West Orange, New Jersey research facility, curiously bypassing areas where the most flammable chemicals had been stored. Within months World War I would engulf Europe and eventually America and the dream of the electric car would fade into obscurity, a curious, forgotten footnote of history.

It would be Edwin Black, a best selling author whose works include IBM and the Holocaust, Banking on Baghdad and War Against the Week, who would exhume the forgotten footnote and the overlooked collaboration between Edison and Ford in his 2006 investigative history into the conspiracy to kill the electric car nearly a century ago.

Black, who is as outspoken and unapologetic as his books, makes no bones about what attracted him to this story of turn of the 19th century avarice and corruption.

"Petro-terrorism".

He defines petro-terrorism as a movement whose intention is to "breakdown our society based on our addiction to oil." And while this particular form of coercion may seem like a relatively new phenomenon of the age of oil, Black asserts in Internal Combustion that it's as old as history, beginning with kingly control of the forests to monopolistic control of coal mines to today's modern oil cartels. The control of energy has been, in his words, the pursuit of monarchs, monopolists and manipulators from time immemorial.

Black takes pains to point out that his focus as an author is on exposing the grimy underbelly of society from IBM, Ford and General Motor's involvement in the rise of the Nazi Third Reich to the eugenics movement of early 20th century.

"I have a history of investigating genocide, oppression, corporate misconduct and governmental corruption", he emphasized.

For him the never-solved, long-ignored fire in West Orange only serves to underscore his view that some conspiracies are quite real and in the case of the destruction of Edison's laboratory, the linchpin of a concerted effort to destroy the inventor's reputation in order to keep his battery off the market, while crushing Henry Ford at the same time.

Black weaves a compelling detective story that explains why the electric car failed despite its superiority as an urban transportation vehicle in an age when country roads were mud, suburbia didn't exist and gasoline was hard to find. Compared to the quiet, pollution free, dependable electric cars of the era, gasoline models were dirty, noisy and difficult to start, but that also gave them a certain machismo in the minds of the male motorist.

But beyond that, electric cars also were stigmatized in the minds of public of that day as the tool of corporate swindle artists from the "Lead Trust" to Carl Pope's bicycle monopoly to the automobile cartel, the latter buoyed by its lock on the infamous Selden patent, which Henry Ford fought against for a decade [see early Ford Motor Co.s advertisement at the end of this article]. It wouldn't be until 1911 that Ford would finally bust the Selden patent, though his company came perilously close to insolvency in its long legal battles in the courts.

In the context of the late 1890s and early 1900's, Black explained, electric car manufacturers were the 'bad guys', a complete reversal of where we are today which sees them as a means by which to save the planet.

"These were the Wall Street financiers, the bank manipulators, corporate raiders; and they decided to quash these internal combustion machine developers; names you'd now like Dodge and Cadillac."

Their legal instrument in this fight was George Selden's patent, which he'd acquired in the decades immediately after the American Civil War, and allegedly gave him the right to royalties on any and all automobiles built in America, if not the rest of the world. The patent was, in fact, nothing more than a simple line sketch, the kind of thing you'd draw on the back of an envelope or napkin. But with it, the cartel planned to intimidate and coerce its competitors with threats of expensive, protracted lawsuits.

Oddly at the time, the gasoline vehicle developers were the populists, Black said, but they would eventually join forces with the battery, electric car and bicycle cartels to form a super cartel, and in the process the electric car was abandoned in favor of the internal combustion machine.

"The one guy who would not [join] the cartel was Henry Ford. He did not want the internal combustion machine to be available for the rich man, the bank president and for the lawyer and for the doctor. He wanted the internal combustion machine to be available for all people as a kind of liberating American way of life. He was the populist.

"Now this is the same Henry Ford who ultimately became Adolf Hitler's hero, who I have investigated for his profound Nazi and anti-semetic activities, but the period in which I am writing Internal Combustion is years before that, a decade before that, perhaps two; and as a result, he is actually the hero of this book."

Before Ford won his legal battles against the Selden patent in 1911, anyone buying his car risked being sued by the cartel. So, along with a warranty, Ford also promised legal representation for its buyers.

With the downfall of the Selden patent, internal combustion cars began to proliferate, but it was also at that point, said Black, that Henry Ford realized that he had won the battle, but lost the war as the dirty, polluting cars spread at the expense of the far cleaner electric models.

So, he turned to Edison and together they quietly set about to develop an affordable electric car for the common man, one that could be charged off a cellar generator and residential-scale wind turbine, whose power would also be stored in Edison's NiFe battery.

Between 1912 and 1914, when the fire destroyed Edison's research complex, the two men tried vainly to perfect their car, but strangely, although the batteries worked fine in Edison's lab, by the time they reached Dearborn, they would fail, be damaged or simply not perform as specified.

Both Edison and Edwin Black suspected foul play.

Reading Internal Combustion you very quickly get a strong sense of deja vu, that we've been here before, that in fact very little has changed, apart from some advances technologically.

As Black bluntly asserts, "We don't need to reinvent the wheel here. We need to exhume from where it was buried... a century ago. Whenever you get companies like General Motors who say we don't have a battery that works, or we're trying to make it work, there's new technology, it's all a lie. It's all a distraction because we know back in 1911 and 1912, the General Electric company had the Electrant, which was like a parking meter and when you parked in front of it, you plugged your electric car in and got a recharge. They had overnight charging facilities. Remember, there were no gas stations in 1911 and 1912. So, basically the idea was to recharge the battery."

On the topic of EV range, Black pointed out that some 75 percent of cars are driven about 25 miles a day, well within the capabilities of even Edison's century-old battery.

"There is no reason whatsoever that electric cars can't predominate today, except for the fact that the big automakers and the government that works with them are unwilling to undo decades of destructive automotive engineering, decades of oil addiction. It's not about... doing right for this world, right for this planet, right for our society; it's about keeping a lucrative status quo even as our climate changes, even as petro-terrorists and petro-politics put a gun to our head and a sword to our neck; and even as our American way of life and treasury is being transferred to the Middle East."

For Edwin Black, mobility is a human right, an entitlement from which everyone should be able to benefit.

"We must no longer be held hostage by those who want to control our ability to move from point "A" to point "B" and do so in a healthy, sensible fashion that will not make us subjugated to those in the Middle East."

One of the surprises for him personally while doing the research was the discovery of General Motors complicity in not only helping Hitler make blitzkrieg possible through its Germany subsidiary, Adam Opel, which it wholly acquired in 1931, but also its role in helping dismantle some 40 public trolley systems in cities across America.

"At the same time [they were wreaking havoc on the U.S. transit system] they were mobilizing the Third Reich to take over Europe and to destroy civilization. Remember it was General Motors that made the [Opel] Blitz truck for blitz kreig."

Black is equally outspoken about how little is being done to arrest the course we're on despite the rhetoric and the toying with EV technology.

"Bill, nothing is being done right!" he fairly shouted at me. "Nothing!

"It doesn't matter if you and me and a million of our friends, every month throw out our gas guzzlers and convert to electric vehicles because if you and me and a million friends do that for a full year, there will still be 220 million gas guzzlers out on the road. You don't get it. The answer isn't one that you and I can solve," he asserted. "The only way that we can solve this is not through a government or any government, which has shown consistently for five thousand years that it will not follow a wise energy policy, it is my idea of the Green Fleet Initiative."

That initiative would see the huge numbers of fleet vehicles in both the public and private sector, some 28,000 strong, immediately begin converting over to electric drive and other alternative fuels. He cited commercial delivery fleets in the tens of thousands and the 100,000 taxis in the country, one third of which are replaced every year.

"If some or all of these fleets adopted a "Green Fleet Initiative" as I have outlined and say we will no longer buy any vehicle that isn't either an electric car or a hydrogen car or a biofuel car, excluding, of course, the big fake out which is corn ethanol. If some of these leading fleets said we'll drive our gas guzzlers into the ground and only replace them with these true alternative fuel vehicles, then the carmakers would beat each other to the starting line to be the first to sell en masse."

"People need to understand that we're not just going to have a picnic with the electric car if we're going fix the problem. We need to change the fleets; the millions of cars that are repaired, purchased and retired each year. The Post Office, the military, the university, the delivery company... And only when we start to do that will we truly address the problem.

"Answer me this, Why is it that Iran, facing sanctions, is now converting its entire automobile fleet within five years off of gasoline to compressed natural gas? What do they know that we don't know?

"We could move these cars off to compressed natural gas right now as a bridge technology to hydrogen cars; and remember hydrogen cars are electric vehicles," he stressed, pointing out that the fuel cell was first invested in the last 1830s.

"When is our government going to wake up?" he asked. "When are people going to demand that it makes no sense to send me a brochure about reducing carbon emissions if the company that delivered that brochure... helped kill our climate in the process, and kill our lungs in the process and kill our pocketbooks in the process and kill our way of life in the process?"

For all his fervency, Black admitted that he's not making much progress with his green fleet idea, though he believes that with a staff of six, he could make substantial headway by calling personally on fleet managers around the country.

"Everybody wants to talk about it; nobody wants to do it."

He would encourage people and companies to "ship green" and give a sort of Good Housekeeping seal of approval to companies who do. He also ridicules the idea of carbon credits, comparing them to the selling of indulgences by the Catholic church during the Middle Ages.

"We need to stop right now, get on the phone and call the local sheriff, university, hospital, corporation and talk to the fleet manager... and ask them why their next 800,000 vehicles they buy, the next million vehicles they buy, the next ten vehicles they buy are not alternative fuel cars.

Black thinks that 18-year-long plans to improve vehicle mileage (fuel efficiency) is completely silly.

"Get off the better mileage dog and pony show. Who needs better mileage from a gas guzzler? Stop using those cars. When you get people trying to confuse the public with stories about petroleum reserves and stories about corn ethanol... Why is there a 54 cents [per gallon] penalty tax against Brazilian sugar cane ethanol, which is oil-free, and a 51 cents per gallon government subsidy for corn ethanol that goes right not to a farmer but to the oil companies?

"We have to talk to our legislators. We have to get a grasp of what we're doing, and we're not going to have any ignition to this piston unless we know how we got addicted to oil and how to get off."
