Nikola Tesla is finally beginning to attract real attention and encourage serious debate nearly 70 years after his death.
Was he for real? A crackpot? Part of an early experiment in corporate-government control?
We know that he was undoubtedly persecuted by the energy power brokers of his day — namely Thomas Edison,
whom we are taught in school to revere as a genius.

there is at least one solid indication of Nikola Tesla’s integrity
– he tore up a contract with Westinghouse that was worth billions
in order to save the company from paying him his huge royalty payments.
But, let’s take a look at what Nikola Tesla — a man who died broke and alone — has actually given to the world.
For better or worse, with credit or without,
he changed the face of the planet in ways that perhaps no man ever has.
