Kylenz...it's 94 degrees here...I've played back to back nights and have had no sleep...I'm tired and can barely get up to go get something to drink...that post was so long I didn't want to bother with it...
I am glad I did. That was awesome.
Thanks! Oh boy, it sure was a long post. But I feel so passionate about this subject. I find it's amazing that all the 'heroes' of our modern world around the turn of the 20th century, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Einstein etc, were all shills for big oil. They all played their part to made sure that Tesla's discoveries would never see the full light of day. Here's an article on Tesla:

http://www.reformation.org/henry-ford.htmlSee, we *think* we made progress.. but we could all be living like kings now if Tesla's technologies were an everyday part of this world. Read about his electric car on that page, built in 1931, ran off an antenna picking up electricity like radio waves (never needs charging!) that drove an 80 HP engine at speeds of up to 90mph! Now imagine this, not only powering our transport, but our homes and industry/infrastructure.
Think about how the electric tram was popular in the early 20th century - primed for Tesla's discoveries to naturally progress to the point where electricity needn't be physically generated from a single source, only for these trams to suddenly disappear and be replaced with oil-guzzling machines and the macho cultural conditioning behind it. Edison, Ford and their cronies were so frightened of what Tesla could achieve, they scuttled everything he worked on. His lab was completely burnt down in 1897 I think.
See, we wouldn't need money if we had free energy.. or.. we wouldn't need so *much* money. We certainly wouldn't have the debt problems and dependency if we had free energy. People on welfare now wouldn't need to depend on the government and the taxpayers to pay their power bills. People could get on with enjoying life and doing whatever they wanted to do, rather than worry about how the next bill is going to be paid, or working an astronomical '8 days a week' ;) just to get by.
Money should exist purely as a means of exchange, nothing more, nothing less. Once the lenders came in and charging their own compound interest on top of that, money will always have a debt component built into the system itself, there's no getting away from it (there's a good documentary on YouTube called 'Money Is Debt' which explains it better than I can). Sadly, the only way I can see us having a chance of ridding ourselves from the banking cartels (I call them the 'banksters'!) would be if a global catastrophe happened. Something really huge would have to happen to jolt us, and make us realise that we don't need to be dependent on banks and oil companies. Something needs to happen that makes these cartels suddenly unable to function. Revolutions never work. Look at Egypt, it's just gone back to the way it was. It needs to be something bigger than that.
