Thomas Jefferson said it best.
We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy, as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors.
Today we should be asking,
- What is the regimen?
- What motivates it?
- What will our future be like if the regimen has its way with us?
A regimen is a regulated system of rule and control imposed by a regime. In Jefferson’s day, the incumbent regime was aligned with forces that established and maintained the institution of slavery. Jefferson, himself a slave owner, was also a force for change, an advocate for the emancipation of slaves. He was well ahead of his time, for that particular form of slavery wound have to wait upon the Lincoln administration to effect positive change.
The actual chains of slavery were readily apparent to the progressives of Lincoln’s time and place. Today, in backwards nations, such slavery still exists. In modern states, the illusion of freedom masks the sophistries of those who would enslave the masses. These regimes conduct convincing campaignes targeting the most persuadable among us. Aligning one’s-self with powerful interests is seen by many as the safe course.
2008 clearly demonstrated to the cognizant, that unbridled self-interest invariably destroys even that which it seeks to maintain. This has been proven, throughout history, as the most self-serving eliminate all threats to their positions of dominance and prominence. The barbarous ancestors Jefferson spoke of lacked compassion. Their modus-operandi was one of unmitigated selfishness.
The contrast between the mammon serving and the humanity serving is clearly illustrated through the disruprive influence of altruism. When Jesus overturned the money tables in the temple courts, those who had entrenched themselves behind political, financial, and ecclesiastical power began to plot his death. The character assassination of Jesus persists, even today, within factions that are threatened by the values he represents.
The enslaving practices of those who organize themselves for the exploitation of other human beings are highly prevalent. The wage slave is allowed to maintain the illusion of freedom. When such an individual begins to taste true liberty, there is a melavolent force ready to apply a variety of innovation retardants, thereby extinguishing any spark of creativity that might serve to emancipate us from our undersized coats.
With such powerful forces arrayed against them, natural farmers have a tough row to hoe. Unsuspecting planters are inundated with seed for plants that go sterile and can only be fed with fertilizers provided by the same seller. In the United States, no provision is made in the food labeling system for identifying non genetically modified food products
The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is impotent when it comes to exercising regulatory authority over those large agri-business concerns that own and operate a great number of politicians. Incoherent statements such as: “There is no material difference between genetically engineered foods and their natural counterparts.” The inclusion of genes from other species in every single cell in the genetically modified organism doesn’t amount to a “material difference” in their way of thinking.
Now the agency will not allow producers, on their own initiative, to label foods as non-genetically engineered. To appease their Agribusiness masters, the FDA will not make an issue of whether or not any particular food is fit for human consumprion. The fact that it contains genes from other species is not a factor to be considered. The fact that such organisms grow at an greatly increased rate doesn’t matter. The fact that these foods haven’t been tested on the public doesn’t matter. The fact that they haven’t been independently tested doesn’t matter.
Thomas Jefferson also said:
If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.
At the nexus of the co-dependency relationship between the food and pharmaceutical industries is the FDA. Alzheimers, auto-immune disease, coronary artery disease, diabeties, obeisity, strokes and a variety of other ailments have all increased under the reign of this, severly compromised, if not worthless, federal administration.
Benjamin Rush, another prophetic signator to the Declaration of Independence, put it this way:
Unless we put medical freedom into the consitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship.
Indeed, the disease care industry has done precisely that, just as surely as integrity challenged politicians have allowed financial services interests to masquerade as the health care industry. From the beginning, financiers have only been interested in providing services that can be meted out or metered.
In 1892, Nikola Tesla said:
Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe. Throughout space there is energy.
Tesla was a man who died broke and alone alhough his lifetime body of work was highly valued. Upon his death on January 7th, 1943, the U.S. government moved into his lab and apartment confiscating all of his scientific research. This was the closing scene that began with attacks by J.P. Morgan and other “captains of industry.” To this day little, if any, of Tesla’s research has been made public, Freedom of Information Act notwithstanding.
Let’s take a look at what Nikola Tesla has actually given to the world.
1. Alternating Current — The war between the vision of Edison and the vision of Tesla, for how electricity would be produced and distributed, is better known as the GE-Westinghouse feud of 1893. It was the culmination of over a decade of shady business deals, stolen ideas, and patent suppression that Edison and his moneyed interests wielded over Tesla and his inventions. Despite all the money, deception and political prostitution, Tesla’s system provides power generation and distribution to North America.
2. Light — Tesla developed and used florescent bulbs in his lab some 40 years before industry “invented” them. At the World’s Fair, Tesla took glass tubes and bent them into famous scientists’ names, in effect creating the first neon signs. However, it is his Tesla Coil that might be the most impressive, and controversial. The Tesla Coil is certainly something that big industry would have liked to suppress: the concept that the Earth itself is a magnet that can generate electricity (electromagnetism) utilizing frequencies as a transmitter. All that is needed on the other end is the receiver — much like a radio.
3. X-rays — Electromagnetic and ionizing radiation was heavily researched in the late 1800s, but Tesla researched the entire gamut. This was a transformative invention of which Tesla played a central role. X-rays, like so many of Tesla’s contributions, stemmed from his belief that everything we need to understand the universe is virtually around us at all times, but we need to use our minds to develop real-world devices to augment our innate perception of existence.
4. Radio — Guglielmo Marconi was initially credited, and most believe him to be the inventor of radio to this day. However, the Supreme Court overturned Marconi’s patent in 1943, when it was proven that Tesla invented the radio years previous to Marconi. Radio signals are just another frequency that needs a transmitter and receiver, which Tesla also demonstrated in 1893 during a presentation before The National Electric Light Association. In 1897 Tesla applied for two patents US 645576, and US 649621. In 1904, however, The U.S. Patent Office reversed its decision, awarding Marconi a patent for the invention of radio, possibly influenced by Marconi’s financial backers in the States, who included Thomas Edison and Andrew Carnegie. This also allowed the U.S. government (among others) to avoid having to pay the royalties that were being claimed by Tesla.
5. Remote Control — This invention was a natural outcropping of radio. Patent No. 613809 was the first remote controlled model boat, demonstrated in 1898. Utilizing several large batteries; radio signals controlled switches, which then energized the boat’s propeller, rudder, and scaled-down running lights. While this exact technology was not widely used for some time, we now can see the power that was appropriated by the military in its pursuit of remote controlled war. Radio controlled tanks were introduced by the Germans in WWII, and developments in this realm have since slid quickly away from the direction of human freedom.
6. Electric Motor — Tesla’s invention of the electric motor has finally been popularized by a car brandishing his name. Tesla’s invention of a motor with rotating magnetic fields could have freed mankind much sooner from the stranglehold of Big Oil. However, his invention in 1930 succumbed to the economic crisis and the world war that followed. Nevertheless, this invention has fundamentally changed the landscape of what we now take for granted: industrial fans, household applicances, water pumps, machine tools, power tools, disk drives, electric wristwatches and compressors.
7. Robotics — Tesla’s scientific mind led him to the idea that all living beings are merely driven by external impulses. He stated: “I have by every thought and act of mine, demonstrated, and does so daily, to my absolute satisfaction that I am an automaton endowed with power of movement, which merely responds to external stimuli.” Thus, the concept of the robot was born. However, an element of the human remained present, as Tesla asserted that these human replicas should have limitations — namely growth and propagation. His visions for a future filled with intelligent cars, robotic human companions, and the use of sensors, and autonomous systems are detailed in a must-read entry in the Serbian Journal of Electrical Engineering, 2006.
8. Laser — Tesla’s invention of the laser may be one of the best examples of the good and evil bound up together within the mind of man. Lasers have transformed surgical applications in an undeniably beneficial way, and they have given rise to much of our current digital media. From Reagan’s “Star Wars” laser defense system to today’s Orwellian “non-lethal” weapons’ arsenal, which includes laser rifles and directed energy “death rays,” there is great potential for development in both directions.
9 and 10. Wireless Communications and Limitless Free Energy — These two are inextricably linked, as they were the last straw for the power elite — what good is energy if it can’t be metered and controlled? Free? Never. J.P. Morgan backed Tesla with $150,000 to build a tower that would use the natural frequencies of our universe to transmit data, including a wide range of information communicated through images, voice messages, and text. This represented the world’s first wireless communications, but it also meant that aside from the cost of the tower itself, the universe was filled with free energy that could be utilized to form a world wide web connecting all people in all places, as well as allow people to harness the free energy around them. Essentially, the 0’s and 1’s of the universe are embedded in the fabric of existence for each of us to access as needed. Nikola Tesla was dedicated to empowering the individual to receive and transmit this data virtually free of charge.
Tesla had perhaps thousands of other ideas and inventions that remain unreleased. A look at his hundreds of patents shows a glimpse of the scope he intended to offer. The release of Nikola Tesla’s technical and scientific research — specifically his research into harnessing electricity from the ionosphere at a facility called Wardenclyffe — is a necessary step toward true freedom of information.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word choreographed an assembly of amino acids into an exquisite array of specific proteins. Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.” In so doing God demonstrated a penchant for genomic writing, preceeded by an amazing series of prebiotic events, in a highly orchestrated presentation of evolutionary overcontrol.

While many people can find a nights comfort on a futon or even a sleeping mat typically reserved for camping/hiking, most guests prefer something a bit more inviting. Even blow up mattresses can be cumbersome when your interior walls are less than 8-feet across. In this case, a folding bed is a perfect solution for guests. It can be collapsed when not in use (as it doesn’t take up much space) yet it’s easy to unfold and set up for guests.
