FBI Nikola Tesla Files and John. G. Trump
When
reviewing the FBI Records Vault dump of October 30th through November
1st, 2016 that the Inspector General is looking into, I noticed a good
deal of public interest in the Tesla Files. (Tweet 4 in the sequence of
21 tweets) Not knowing much about it myself, I decided to look into it.
There are three parts to the files with a total of 354 pages.[1]
Part one 249 pages
Part two 41 pages
Part three 64 pages
January 7th, 1943 Tesla died quietly and alone in room #3327 on the
33rd floor of the Hotel New Yorker in New York City. The coroner would
later estimate the time of death at 22:30 EST. Tesla was 86 years old.
January 9th Hoover’s FBI ordered the U.S. Office of Alien Property to
seize all of Tesla’s belongings. Tesla’s entire estate from the Hotel
New Yorker, and other New York City hotels, was transported to the
Manhattan Storage and Warehouse Company under OAP seal.
That the FBI had the Office of Alien Property carry out the seizure was odd because Tesla was a U.S. Citizen.
Hoover’s FBI skirted the law for expediency as they admit here on (page 5)
The FBI was overwhelmed by the
technical nature of Tesla’s work. They would have to call in a technical
expert from the Office of Research and Development. (page 6) [3]
The technical expert from the
Office of Research and Development that the FBI called in was this guy.
John. G. Trump the uncle of Donald J. Trump.
On March 26th, 2016, then
candidate Donald Trump had this to say about his uncle John during an
interview with the NYT discussing his views on foreign policy. Full
transcript here: [4]
In the later years of his life
Tesla was working on a device that would to end all warfare. The FBI
mentions the weapon. (page 8) [5]
That document also tells us that 80 trunks worth of inventory having to do with Tesla’s experiments were seized.
Tesla’s work was highly
technical and theoretical in nature. It is unclear if his inventions
could ever be made into reality. That said, it goes without saying that
the intellectual value of his inventions for research and further
development is astronomical in value. 1952 Nine years later after
constant pressure from Sava Kosanović, Tesla’s nephew and the Yugoslav
government Tesla’s entire estate was shipped to Belgrade. The contents
included original papers, thousands of letters, photographs and 80
trunks marked N.T. It is hard to be overly critical of the actions taken
by the FBI in 1943 when one considers the importance of securing the
technology for national security reasons. Due to current events I do not
have time to do a comprehensive review of the Tesla Files. I did want
to share with you some highlights. If you are interested in exploring
Tesla’s work here is a PDF I located: [6]
That PDF book details the technology behind the Death Ray. For details from Tesla himself go here: [7]
When examining the actions of the FBI and U.S. government keep this quote from Tesla’s July 11th, 1934 NYT interview in mind:
The FBI included this very
article as evidence for the justification of the seizure. It is
difficult to read but it’s there. (page 3) [8]
Tesla was known to not commit
everything to paper keeping certain details in his mind where they were
safe. Could his teleforce weapon ever be realized? Let’s hope we never
find out.
