"Electric power is everywhere present in unlimited quantities and can drive the world's machinery without the need of coal, oil, gas, or any other of the common fuels."
Tesla was a brilliant scientist as well as a futurist and visionary of the first rank, maybe even extraterrestrial; he openly admitted that ETs had contacted him in Colorado Springs where his research lab was located. No matter where you find yourself in the modern world, Nikola Tesla is there in his ideas and inventions. This is a man who won the Noble Prize by default. And it's now time that governments around the world begin using his free energy devices that were confiscated and shoved into the backroom of utter neglect. The crux of the problem is that corporations don't want any form of technology if they can't make a dime on it.
This narrow, sinister thinking may have reached its sad end, however. While governments around the world pretend that the colossal financial crises plaguing them can be fixed with a tweak here and a tweak there, someone needs to tell them that they are completely and hopelessly delusional to seriously entertain this line of thought. Subconsciously, most people know that a last-ditch charade is in play. Moreover, the Japanese government is in a perfect position to put Tesla's free energy to work while they re-build. They could be the showcase of what the future can be.
If hidden devices like Tesla's are not brought out and put into service now, the recourse is to have the manipulators of the world impose a strict, Spartan existence for the majority of the world's population, while those of the elite live like the pigs that ran the show in Orwell's Animal Farm. These are the hogs who drain you of your blood marrow and throw you away like trash when they're done with you.
This New World has been creeping onto the land in slow motion for some time now, almost imperceptible to the average person. And now that time is getting short, the pace will quicken to bring this New World into existence. The manipulators believe that there is no other way if they are to keep their positions of power. They are playing an unspoken game while being countered by an unseen force they weren't counting on, or seriously underestimated. In the meantime, civilians and soldiers alike are caught in an adversarial death grip that will not let up until alternative energy sources are developed.
The duplicitous leaders of the world need to recognize that the time has come for them to stop taking orders from the elite and to just do the right thing. The revolts in the Mid-East are only a hint of the possibilities the future holds for other parts of the globe who believe they're immune from such chaos.
