Pierpont Morgan, free electricity for one and all.

REMNANTS OF A DREAM Nikola Tesla in a multiple-exposure photo in 1899, as a Tesla coil discharged millions of volts. A science group wants to preserve the remains of his lab.
BON VIVANT Tesla, circa 1907. He was celebrated for his inventions, but he also made bitter enemies.

It was the inventor’s biggest project, and his most audacious.
The first tower rose on rural Long Island and, by 1903, stood more than 18 stories tall. One midsummer night, it emitted a dull rumble and proceeded to hurl bolts of electricity into the sky. The blinding flashes, The New York Sun reported, “seemed to shoot off into the darkness on some mysterious errand.”
But the system failed for want of money, and at least partly for scientific viability. Tesla never finished his prototype tower and was forced to abandon its adjoining laboratory.
Today, a fight is looming over the ghostly remains of that site, called Wardenclyffe — what Tesla authorities call the only surviving workplace of the eccentric genius who dreamed countless big dreams while pioneering wireless communication and alternating current. The disagreement began recently after the property went up for sale in Shoreham, N.Y.
A science group on Long Island wants to turn the 16-acre site into a Tesla museum and education center, and hopes to get the land donated to that end. But the owner, the Agfa Corporation, says it must sell the property to raise money in hard economic times. The company’s real estate broker says the land, listed at $1.6 million, can “be delivered fully cleared and level,” a statement that has thrown the preservationists into action.

Do the PTB want us to wake up???
Examples.....other than this (main stream media talking about Tesla)
2) fake swine flu pandemic (which everyone is talking about how phoney it is)
3)Movies like 2012, Angles and Demons, The Knowing, The day the earth stood still...trying to get people to think.
4)Mainstream media (Fox / CNN ) talking about issues that a year ago would have only been on the internet. ie Bush/ Cheney guilty of war crimes.
5)More and more disclosure towards UFO and ET's (even the vatican)
6) The fact that the PTB are allowing web-sites to exist that talk about contraversial issues. (like this forum)
7) NASA is telling us somethings like gamma rays from space hitting earth, sunspots non existant for a long period of time etc.
DO THEY REALLY WANT US TO WAKE UP?
Or are we just more observant and they have always hidden the truth in the open?
