> Exhibit M. Part 03 of 03 pg. 43. The article further discusses the subject of wind, tides, lightning, and water power as a source of commercial energy. The last sentence of this memorandum states: "With my wireless system, it is practicable to transmit electrical energy at a distance of twelve thousand miles with a loss not exceeding 5 per cent. I can conceive of no advances which would be more desirable at this time and more beneficial to the further progress of mankind." No further details are given, or the exhibit itself, but interesting nonetheless. https://vault.fbi.gov/nikola-tesla/Nikola%20Tesla%20Part%2003%20of%2003/view https://vault.fbi.gov/nikola-tesla/Nikola%20Tesla%20Part%200...

i believe this is referencing some of his ideas on global wireless power transfer. > Early on he seemed to borrow from the ideas of Mahlon Loomis, proposing a system composed of balloons to suspend transmitting and receiving electrodes in the air above 30,000 feet (9,100 m) in altitude, where he thought the pressure would allow him to send high voltages (millions of volts) long distances. [...] Experiments he conducted [at Colorado Springs in 1899] with a large coil operating in the megavolts range, as well as observations he made of the electronic noise of lightning strikes, led him to conclude incorrectly that he could use the entire globe of the Earth to conduct electrical energy. > His observations also led him to believe a high voltage used in a coil at an elevation of a few hundred feet would "break the air stratum down", eliminating the need for miles of cable hanging on balloons to create his atmospheric return circuit. Tesla would go on the next year to propose a "World Wireless System" that was to broadcast both information and power worldwide. In 1901, at Shoreham, New York he attempted to construct a large high-voltage wireless power station, now called Wardenclyffe Tower, but by 1904 investment dried up and the facility was never completed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_power_transfer#Tesla https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_power_transfer#Tesla i've heard a claim that the idea described in the latter quote would effectively involve "igniting the ionosphere" which would permanently change the color of the sky, but i can't speak to the accuracy of that.

Well the level of conspiracy claimed would never be publicized by the FBI. IF any of the wildest theories on Tesla are true, then his files would be hidden in places FOIA will never reach. These documents are probably meant to discredit conspiracy theories. There might be some truth to some conspiracies, and people will release "noise" in order to discredit them completely. We all know Tesla went against powerful financial interests, and they paid back real good, destroying his reputation using the dirtiest character assassination tactics there are, involving sex. Note that sexual character assassination is the favorite method of discrediting someone. The false rape accusation against Assange should be a reminder that we still live under the same boots that stepped on Tesla 100+ years ago. Back then they spread all sorts of nasty sexual rumours against Tesla. We haven't evolved very much 100+ years later, and we're still bailing out banks.
