Einstein, Bell & Edison, Coca-Cola and the Wright
Brothers
LARRY ROMANOFF • JULY 11, 2020
There are only two nations in the world whose
existence seems to be founded primarily on historical myths. In the US, false
historical mythology permeates every nook and cranny of the American psyche,
the result of more than 100 years of astonishing and unconscionable programming
and propaganda, a massive crime against an entire population. This condition
pertains not only to past events we think of as history, but to the extent that
most items permitting Americans to “feel good by being an American” are
fabricated Disney fairytales. This essay is a brief introduction to only a
minor aspect of this subject.
In the introduction to my series of books (soon to be
published) I wrote that “Perhaps 90%, or even 95%, of everything we know, or
think that we know, or that we believe to be true about history, is wrong. To
express this another way, if we were to take the history of the entire world
for the past 500 years and compress it into a book of 100 pages, a full 50 of
those pages would be blank. That is the extent to which our true history has
been suppressed, entirely deleted from the record and from our consciousness.
Of the remaining 50 pages, 45 are false in whole or in part, photoshopped,
sanitised, twisted, and with critical details omitted to deliberately lead the
public to the wrong conclusions.”[1]
Einstein, the Mythical Genius
One of the greatest mythical frauds in history is that
of Albert Einstein, the famous physicist who invented the Theory of Relativity,
E=mc² and so many other esoteric things. But this is all fabrication. The
claims about Einstein inventing any theory of relativity, or light and photons,
or time, are false. Almost every claim – almost everything – attributed to Einstein
is simply a lie. Einstein was an inept who contributed nothing original to the
field of quantum mechanics, nor any other science. Far from being a competent
physicist, he once even flatly denied that the atom could be split and, much
later, admitted that the idea of a chain reaction in fissile material “had
never occurred to me”.[2][3]
Einstein was a third-class clerk at the government
patent office in Bern, and never progressed beyond this level even with years
of experience. By all contemporary reports, Einstein wasn’t even an
accomplished mathematician. It has been well documented that much of the
mathematical content of Einstein’s so-called theories were well beyond his
ability. Walter Isaacson, president of the Aspen Institute, stated that
Einstein’s first wife Mileva Marić was a “Serbian physicist who had helped him with (his) math .
. .”[4] Other prominent scientists have made the claim
that his wife did most of his math for him.
Henri Poincaré was the foremost expert on relativity
in the late 19th century and the first person to formally present the theories,
having published more than 30 books and over 500 papers on the topics.
Extensive documentation exists that Einstein and his associates had studied
Poincaré’s theories and mathematics for years, yet when Einstein published his
almost wholly-plagiarised versions he made no reference whatever to these other
works.
In the accepted historical account, Einstein is
credited with having written the correct field equations for general
relativity, an enormous falsehood. It is an undisputed fact that David Hilbert
sent Einstein a draft of his work (which had already been submitted for
publication), containing precisely these equations, evidenced by the existence
of a letter from Einstein to Hilbert thanking him for doing so. Yet a few weeks
later, Einstein delivered a public speech of Hilbert’s work, claiming full
credit for the derivation of Hilbert’s equations. Similarly, E=mc², the famous
equation relating mass, energy, and the speed of light, had been published
several times by Italian physicist Olinto De Pretto, long before Einstein was
suddenly given credit for it. In multiple thorough reviews of scientific
literature, prominent scientists have unanimously stated that there is
“absolutely nothing to connect Einstein to the derivation of this formula.”[5]
Einstein’s papers, theories, mathematics, documentation,
were almost 100% plagiarised from others. He combined the prior published works
of several people into one paper and claimed ownership of all of it. His
so-called theories were nothing more than a composition encompassing the prior
work of men like James Maxwell, Hendrik Lorentz, Joseph Larmor, Olinto De
Pretto, Robert Brown, Ludwig Boltzmann, Friedrich Hasenöhrl, and many more.
In a paper he wrote in 1907, in part responding to
(already-virulent) accusations of plagiarism, Einstein declared that plagiarism
was perfectly acceptable as a form of ethical research, stating “… the nature
[of physics is] that what follows has already been partly solved by other
authors. I am [therefore] entitled to leave out a thoroughly pedantic survey of
the literature…”[6][7][8] In other words, scientists all build on each
others’ work, so Einstein could freely compile the work of everyone before him
and re-present it as his own, with no obligation to even mention them or their
work. His view of ethical science was like building a tower where each person
adds one stone and, if I add the last stone, I not only take credit for the
entire design and construction of the tower, but I own the building.
Perhaps the most damning evidence was when in 1953 Sir
Edmund Whittaker published a very detailed account of the origin and
development of all these theories and equations of physics, with extensive
reference to the primary sources, documenting beyond doubt that Einstein had no
priority in any of it, and clearly stating so. Einstein was alive and well when
Whittaker published his book, yet he offered no dispute to the conclusions, no
refutation of Whittaker’s claim that he (Einstein) had been irrelevant to the
entire process. Einstein made no attempts in his own defense but simply hid in
the bushes and refused to make any public comment whatever.[9]
Einstein was almost certainly the greatest fraud and
plagiarist in modern science, an unashamed intellectual thief but, according to
sources like Wikipedia, this is all just a minor “priority dispute” about who
said what first in the realm of relativity physics. These sources misleadingly
imply that several people made a discovery independently and more or less
simultaneously, and we are simply debating who went public first. Nothing could
be farther from the truth. Wikipedia is renowned as being virtually useless as
an information source due to widespread ideological bias and censorship.
Einstein was Jewish and had the support of the
Jewish-controlled media who conspired to create yet another historical myth.
His fame and popularity today, his status as a hero of the scientific world,
are due only to decades of a well-planned force-feeding of the Einstein myth to
the masses by the media. The propaganda machine simply airbrushed out of the
history books all the physicists who formulated these theories, and credited
everything to Einstein. Without the extravagant generations-long PR and
propaganda campaign, Einstein would have remained in the dustbin of obscurity
where he belongs.
There are many Einstein apologists who produce reams
of heavily-documented irrelevancies masquerading as proof, items such as a
schoolmate who claimed “the flight of his mathematical genius was so high that
I could no longer follow.” Many scientists and scientific historians know the
truth of all this, and the accurate historical record is readily available, but
many appear afraid to speak out for fear of damaging their careers. I have put
the question to several prominent physicists in different countries, eliciting
similar responses, namely that “it will not further one’s career to open a
debate which will inevitably produce a tsunami of invective and slander, to say
nothing of accusations of anti-Semitism.”
Time Magazine published more than a dozen issues on
Einstein, including a special Collector’s Edition, and even ran an issue naming
Einstein the “Person of the Century”. As with all other American heroes, the PR
machine has worked for decades to embellish the myth with a collection of
possibly hundreds of wise sayings attributed to this man where there is
absolutely no historical evidence he ever said any of those things. The NYT
published an article on a small cleverly-selected scientific dispute, in which
it claimed “Findings Back Einstein in a Plagiarism Dispute”.[10] And thus is history spun by those who control
the microphone. This is why so many pages in our history book consist of
misrepresentations and omitted facts, painting a picture so considerably at
odds with the truth. As with Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, the Wright
Brothers and so many others, the false historical myths have been so deeply
entwined in American and world history that they cannot be unraveled.
Einstein, the “Man of Peace”
Similarly, there has been a great campaign by
Einstein’s revisionist apologists to disavow his strong support for the
development of the atomic bomb, claiming him to be “a man of peace”. I have
copies of correspondence from Einstein where he stated his conviction that the
United States should “demonstrate” the atomic bomb to disfavored foreign
countries. In one letter to then-US President Roosevelt, he wrote, “… extremely
powerful bombs of a new type may thus be constructed. A single bomb of this
type, carried by boat and exploded in a port, might very well destroy the whole
port together with some of the surrounding territory. I am convinced as to the
wisdom and the urgency of creating the conditions under which that and related
work can be carried out with greater speed and on a larger scale than
hitherto”.[11]
That statement is part of one of Einstein’s letter to
Roosevelt, suggesting he (Einstein) be “entrusted with the task” of managing
the project. Roosevelt refused Einstein’s fervent requests to manage, or even
to participate in, the project, because it was an open secret that nobody
trusted him and the FBI had conducted extensive investigations against him. One
FBI file labeled “Secret”, stated that Einstein was affiliated with 33
organisations which had been cited by the Attorney-General and/or Congress, as
being politically suspect.
It is interesting that the respected National
Geographic is one of the world’s worst publications for spinning historical
fact and truth. In 2017, this magazine ran an article on Einstein claiming that
Hoover and the FBI despised Einstein and built a 1,400-page file on him because
“the world-famous physicist was outspoken against nuclear bombs”.[12][13]
The second portion of the same letter is rather more
disturbing, and has to my knowledge never been publicly referenced anywhere. It
clearly reveals that Einstein had had detailed discussions with some wealthy
acquaintances in Europe who were eager to personally finance the US development
of atomic bombs from their own pockets. Einstein was informing the President he
had access to these individuals with whom he had already confirmed available funding,
baiting Roosevelt with an offer that, should he be ‘entrusted’ with management
of the bomb project, he could bring the necessary financing with him. He states
that, as project manager, one of his tasks would be: “providing funds … through
his contacts with private persons who are willing to make contributions for
this cause.”[14]
It would be appropriate for us to ask who were these
“private persons” who had the money to finance the development of the world’s
first atomic bombs, and why they would want to personally fund such a project.
Einstein does not mention these individuals by name, but they would surely have
been Jewish and who in Europe (in the 1930s) had the kind of money to offer
open-ended funding for a scientific project the cost of which was unknown and
unknowable, but clearly massive.[15] This offer was not spurred by patriotism but by
the prospect of financial gain and control of both the technology and the
application of this ‘science’. We can therefore further question who would have
taken ownership of the technology, and who would have been the intended victims
of this large personal investment. One plausible theory
I would add here that many of Einstein’s propagandists
and apologists have made repeated efforts to pass the blame for the development
of the atomic bomb onto Enrico Fermi, another monstrous falsehood. The US
government offered Fermi a cash payment of US$100,000[16]to lead the research and development of the atom
bomb, but Fermi refused. I have seen a copy of a letter from Fermi to the US
President claiming that something so evil had “no right to exist”. In fact, it
was Oppenheimer and Szilard who led the development of what was almost in
totality a Jewish project, so much so that for many years in scientific circles
the atomic bomb was widely known as “The Jewish hell-bomb”.[17] I believe it was Eustace Mullins who first
coined the phrase, and I believe it was he who first suggested there was
“circumstantial but compelling evidence” that the Jewish motivation for
offering to finance the A-bomb’s development was to take control of the
technology and use it for Germany’s total destruction.”[18] The theory is more than plausible if you are
familiar with the heavily-evidenced proposition that the underlying purpose of
both world wars was the total destruction of Germany). You can understand why
items like this are restricted to the blank pages in our history book.
Alexander Graham Bell – The Man Who Didn’t Invent the
Telephone
History books tell us the famous American, Alexander
Graham Bell, invented the telephone. This claim has only two flaws; Bell was
Canadian, not American, and he did not invent the telephone.
An Italian named Antonio Meucci patented a working
telephone many years before Bell did anything.[19] Bell had obtained copies of Meuci’s drawings and
patents and had attempted to obtain US patents on Meuci’s phone. Meucci
discovered Bell’s attempted patent of his invention and filed a lawsuit against
Bell, in support of which he brought from Italy all his documents, working
models, original sketches and his patent, to present to the court as evidence
of his prior invention. The delivery company – Western Union – was charged with
the responsibility as trustee to hold this evidence for delivery to the court, but
all of it “amazingly disappeared without a trace immediately prior to the court
hearing, leaving Meucci with no proof of anything and thus losing his lawsuit
against Bell.” It is worth noting that at the time Bell was employed at the
Western Union lab where Meucci’s evidence was being stored.
The Italians are still angry about this. The Italian
Historical Association informed us that their investigation produced evidence
of illegal relationships between employees of the patent office and Bell’s
company. And later, during a lawsuit between Bell and Western Union, it was
revealed Bell had agreed to pay Western Union 20% of all profits from ‘his’
telephone, for 17 years, representing millions of dollars, sufficient
temptation for Western Union to justify “losing” Meucci’s invention. US media
have fabricated at least dozens of tales excusing Bell, a common one that “due
to hardships, Meucci could not renew his patent” and therefore Bell could take
it, but in fact the US government filed charges against Bell for fraud because
of his telephone patent, but powerful friends had the lawsuit delayed year
after year until Meucci died.[20]American history books and sources like Wikipedia omit
these critical facts and twist the remaining information, and thus Americans
grow up believing yet one more false myth about their country and their
innovative ability.
I would make a note here that when doing historical
research we sometimes discover that the landscape has been so badly polluted by
countless individuals amending details to conform to opinion or ideology (or
patriotism) that it becomes nearly impossible to ferret out the actual facts
without an extraordinary amount of work. In this case, some have claimed
(without evidence) that Meucci lost his patent because he hadn’t the funds to
renew it. Others ignore Meucci’s lawsuit against Bell and claim Bell delivered
his phone patent and samples to Western Union for evaluation and who later
claimed to have lost all of it. And so on. Here are several articles purporting
to tell “the real truth”[21][22][23][24]
Thomas Edison – The Man Who Didn’t Invent Anything
Every American child is taught in school that the
famous American Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, Wikipedia claiming that
Edison was “the fourth most prolific inventor in history, holding 1,093 US
patents in his name, as well as many patents in the UK, France, and Germany”.
Edison is given full credit for inventing the light bulb, electricity
transmission, electric power utilities, sound recording and motion pictures.
All these claims are completely false.[25] Not only was Edison not one of the most prolific
inventors in history, he never invented anything. Edison himself made the
statement: “patents 1047 – inventions 0”, in recognition of his situation.
The inventions for which Edison is credited by the
Americans were all achieved by others, and his “1,093 US patents” were all
either stolen, bullied, extorted or purchased from those same inventors. As
another author pointed out, “a man who kidnaps or adopts 1,000 children can
hardly be deemed the world’s most prolific father, and a man who steals 1,000
inventions and patents can hardly be deemed the world’s most prolific
inventor”. Thomas Edison was unquestionably one of the world’s most prolific thieves,
and widely known as a con-man and common thug who often resorted to threats and
extortion, but he was no inventor. Edison was mostly just a thieving
opportunist who extorted or stole everything that is listed to his credit, but
in US history books Edison is revered in totally fabricated myths as the father
of the light bulb and America’s most prolific inventor.
The light bulb had been invented by several people in
Europe, one of whom, Heinrich Goebel, unsuccessfully tried selling it to Edison
who claimed to see no value in it though he was more than happy to purchase the
patent from Goebel’s estate when the man died, cheating his widow out of a
substantial sum of money. In any case, another man, Joseph Wilson Swan
developed and patented a working incandescent light bulb using a carbon
filament 20 years before Edison made any such claim.[26][27] Edison first tried to steal Swan’s invention
and, when that proved legally dangerous, he made Swan a minor partner in the
Ediswan United Company, buying both Swan and his patented light bulb and
claiming the invention for himself. Swan also invented sound recording and
other items which are today credited to Edison.[28]
Every American is taught from birth that Edison
labored for years, trying at least 1,000 different substances (some say 2,000)
before he discovered that twisted carbon would function acceptably as the
filament in a light bulb. The story is entirely false, a myth fabricated after
the fact, a little religious morality play to support faith in the American
Dream – that persistence and hard work will lead to unlimited fame and riches
in the end. Edison did indeed try – and repeatedly failed – to create a light
bulb, and he may well have attempted some of those filament trials. But all
that is irrelevant because Swan had already proven the effectiveness of a
carbon filament when Edison took ownership of his invention and patent.
Edison is given credit for the device which made
x-rays possible, but the actual inventor was German scientist Wilhelm Roentgen
who publicly displayed x-rays of his wife’s hand years prior to Edison’s
fluoroscope. Similarly, Edison is given credit for inventing electrical
transmission in various forms, but Nicola Tesla brought this invention to the
US and offered it to Edison who took ownership of the process and patents under
a promise of $50,000, then refused to pay Tesla and spent years in attempts to
destroy his name and reputation.
The US-based Science website dismisses the entire
truth about Edison in one cute sentence: “Even though many of his “inventions”
were not unique – and he engaged in some well-publicized court battles with
other inventors whose ideas he “borrowed” – Edison’s skill at marketing and
using his [political] influence often got him the credit.”[29] And that means Edison patented items that
already existed, created by others, and that had sometimes already been
patented. Plus, he had a habit of stealing and patenting any ideas brought to
him by other inventors. Hence, the lawsuits. But his marketing ability and some
powerful political and judicial contacts kept him out of jail. Nevertheless,
the myth has been so thoroughly weaved into American history, it could never be
recalled.
The US government even issued a special silver dollar
coin to commemorate Edison’s non-achievements. And we have an Edison museum
complete with the requisite US flag, providing Americans with the unique
opportunity to experience delusion and patriotism simultaneously. But the man
did invent one thing the history books seem to have quietly deleted. Edison was
a believer in spirits and regularly attended séances where mediums would
receive and transmit messages from the dead. To more easily conduct these
affairs, Edison invented a telephone that he claimed could talk to people in
the spirit world, though he didn’t specify what numbers to dial. In a
conversation with B.C. Forbes, the founder of Forbes magazine, Edison claimed,
“I have been at work for some time building an apparatus … for personalities
which have left this earth to communicate with us”. No idea what the spirits
said to him, and no idea why his promoters deleted this important item from the
history of the world’s greatest inventor.[30]https://www.forbes.com/sites/kristintablang/2019/10/25/thomas-edison-bc-forbes-mystery-spirit-phone/#356c274429ad
Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola, originally called Kola Coca, was invented
more than 140 years ago in a small town in Spain, the creators of the formula
for the world’s best-selling soft drink having been cheated of its ownership
and billions of dollars. The process was a well-kept secret at the time and
quickly became a world-famous product, winning dozens of international gold
medals and other awards. Unfortunately, Bautista Aparici, one of the company’s
founders, attended a trade fair in Philadelphia and made the mistake of giving
a sample and a brief description of the process to an American he happened to
meet, and a short time later US pharmacist John Pemberton changed the name to
Coca-Cola and patented the product and process, the US government refusing to
recognise the original Spanish patent.[31][32][33]
The official story is that this drink was “invented by
Dr. John Smith Pemberton on May 8, 1886, at Atlanta, Georgia”, in the USA, and
was named Coca-Cola because at that time it contained extracts of Coca leaves
and Kola nuts, and that the company’s book-keeper renamed the drink because he
thought the two ‘C’s’ would look better in advertising. None of that is true.
The drink was indeed made from kola nuts and coca leaves, but the new name was
a cheap attempt to differentiate itself after Pemberton stole and patented the
original formula. All the stories about Pemberton inventing Coke’s secret
formula in his laboratory are fabricated nonsense, with the company’s website
cleverly designed to airbrush out the drink’s early history and avoid the truth
becoming known. Beverage World magazine produced a special issue to commemorate
the one-hundredth (American) anniversary of Coca-Cola, claiming Coke was:
“A totally American product born of a solid idea,
nurtured throughout the past century with creative thinking and bold
decision-making, and always plenty of good old-fashioned hard work. That is as
it should be; it is the American way”.
Not by a long shot. Coca-Cola is just one of hundreds
of products the Americans have stolen and patented with the full protection of
their courts operating under the peculiarly American definition of ‘rule of
law’. It isn’t widely-known, though well-documented, that for decades
surrounding the turn of the last century, the US government offered between
$20,000 and $50,000 to anyone who could steal a foreign patent or product, that
amount representing a lifetime’s earnings for an average person.
To add insult to injury, Coca-Cola moved into Spain in
1953, sued the original Spanish owners, then bullied, extorted and bought the
rights for a pittance, permitting the firm to continue producing only a single
alcoholic beverage under their name. USA Today reported on this without even a
hint of regret or shame about the rule of law or fair play or the evils of IP
theft. Their only comment: “The Spanish factory has just four employees left
and probably won’t last another generation.” Even more insultingly, ABC News
dismisses this story as “The Spanish firm that inspired Coke”, although they do
state correctly the claim: “Locals believe that the Spanish town of Aielo de
Malferit is where Coca-Cola originated — and that the factory which developed the
formula that inspired the world’s best-selling soda has been cheated of its
rightful place in history. Not to mention profits.”[34]
The Wright Brothers
For more than 100 years, the Smithsonian Institution
in Washington has had on display an aircraft that was piloted by Orville and
Wilbur Wright in 1903 in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina in man’s first powered,
manned aircraft flight, Americans therefore having created “The Age of Flight”.
But that was never true, and the Smithsonian was in on
the fraud from the very beginning. In an agreement with the Wright family to
donate the aircraft to the Institution, its officials signed a pledge to
perpetuate the story that the Wrights had made the first flight, when all
present were fully aware the claim was false. And for more than 100 years the
Smithsonian Institution of Historical Mythology, with the full support of the
US government and the media, has done everything in its power to dismiss,
contradict, and just ignore, extensive documentation of other prior flights in
an effort to prevent the dethroning of America in the public mind.[35][36]
Several people have thoroughly researched the matter
and have written authoritative books on other prior flights but these have been
“denounced by leading aeronautic agencies” (like the Smithsonian Institution),
with the authors dismissed as “unqualified” and their books “unreliable”. In
fact, there were many prior flights, some in Europe, Canada, South America, and
others in the US itself, and the Smithsonian was fully aware of this. Recently,
the editors of the authoritative Jane’s Aircraft firmly declared that Gustave
Whitehead had flown years before the Wright Brothers. Alberto Santos-Dumont had
done the same in Paris, as had another group in Alberta, Canada.
Moreover, there exists sufficient evidence the Wrights
had access to all that prior knowledge in building their own aircraft, then
claimed it as their own. In addition to other design features, the Wright
brothers claimed ownership of the curved airfoil – without which no aircraft
would ever have gotten off the ground anywhere, but, as one historian noted,
“the Wrights stole both the concept and the actual design from an Australian
who had recorded it years before, and who had himself deduced the concept from
the boomerang of the Australian aboriginals.” The Wright Brothers stole the
idea to build their aircraft, then patented it and sued others for using it.
Rumors had been circulating for decades that the
Smithsonian had signed what was essentially a contract of fraud with the Wright
family, agreeing to perpetuate the myth of the first manned flight, in exchange
for having the aircraft on permanent display. But the Directors of the
Smithsonian repeatedly denied the existence of such an agreement, stating that
would be “tampering with history” and that they “would never agree to such a
thing.” But then one day a US Senator collected a few lawyers and descended on
the Smithsonian in a kind of political raid. And they did indeed locate the
document, which reads in part: “Neither the Smithsonian Institution nor its
successors nor any museum or other agency, bureau or facilities administered by
the United States of America, shall publish or permit to be displayed a
statement … in respect of any aircraft model … of earlier date than the Wright
Aeroplane of 1903, claiming … that such aircraft was capable of carrying a man
under its own power in controlled flight …”[37]
And now you know how the Wright Brothers became famous
as the first men to fly. One historian wrote that the Smithsonian had no
authority “to engage in political engineering of this sort”, noting that this
“compromises history”. But compromising history is an American specialty. And
this childrens’ tale will never end. Scientific American wrote a long, biased,
and foolish article, claiming the other stories as myths and their myth as the
truth.[38] Other eminent publications have done the same.
This is how history is spun.
To give you an idea of the enormous influence of the
US media and book publishers in maintaining these myths, in 2015 David
McCullough ignored the judgment by Janes (and the world outside the US), and
wrote a new book for Americans that not only perpetuates the myth but enhances
it, with the major US media immediately writing glowing book reviews to help
push sales and get the propaganda back into the public mind. The Washington
Post modestly tells us how “two [American] boys taught the world to fly.” The
publishers, Simon and Schuster, tell us the Wright brothers had “exceptional
courage and determination”, and “ceaseless curiosity”.[39]
Daniel Okrent, in a review of McCullough’s book in the
NYT,[40] adds that their progress was achieved through
“excruciating patience and obsessive attention to detail” and with “an elegant
demonstration of the creativity of their thinking”. They were “possessed by
genius”. Their discovery of the necessity of a curved airfoil was not copied
from Australia, but was the result of “endless calculation, application and
recalculation”, every concoction being “a dazzling piece of reasoning” pursued
with a “grandness of vision”, with the end result being “the most astonishing
feat mankind has ever accomplished”. Yes. Except that it wasn’t.
