Tesla by Jason Walker (an ebook reader txt) 📕

ranging from electrical storms to massive earthquakes to enormous waves, which could be manipulated to strike any shoreline in the world. They could attack an enemy right in their own backyard, it seemed, which was another reason for its secrecy. Once they learned how to do this trick, any other country could do the same thing. That was why it was kept secret for so long.

As Darren moved to the second page in the folder, he learned that the HAARP facility was located in Alaska and that the antennae attached to it were capable of redirecting the ionosphere itself. The rays were then redirected back to the earth at a very low frequency. These were known as ELF waves.

Darren discovered that ELF waves had a serious effect on the earth. It affected the earth’s magnetic fields, human thoughts, and human emotions.

ELF waves could also cause rapid heating of the atmosphere around the earth, which would then cause a change in wind and weather problems. If used correctly—or incorrectly—entire populations could have their moods and thought processes altered.

Essentially, it could cause people to become depressed, angry, sad, and possibly even suicidal.

Tesla’s technology was meant to help mankind, but the people in the shadows didn’t see it that way, and National Security Orders were placed on it keeping this information from the public for almost a full century.

Darren couldn’t understand how one man could be responsible for such incredible things . . . and also be behind such awful things. Was this like Leonardo Davinci, then? The man was known for his art, but he was also responsible for serious weapons of war—like the Davinci cannon and the Davinci tank and helicopter.

It was strange, thinking about the duality of men like that. How they could create just as easily as they destroyed?

Staring at all of the tiny print was starting to make his eyes hurt. He needed a break. He needed to think.

He . . . needed to go to the top side and get out from the underground. He wondered if he could sneak out late at night and take in some fresh air. He looked at his watch and saw that it was almost 11 p.m. People were still out partying at that time of the night. He decided to make himself a coffee and lit up his camping stove again to boil some water.

While he waited for the water to boil, he washed himself with a wet face cloth and then returned to the pocket-sized notebook that had Tesla’s own birthday written in ink on the first page. As he started reading, he began understanding Tesla’s emotions as he sat in a hotel restaurant after almost dying in a fire. It was heartbreaking to read just how much of an effort his enemies went to stop him from being successful.

By 2 a.m., Darren was confident that he could go outside, but now his problem was finding the buttons that opened the main doors from the inside. They had to be in a room that was close by the main doors so he went back into his rucksack and pulled out a ziplock bag that held the handwritten letter. In it were directions that would remind him where he needed to go.

After finishing his last mouthful of lukewarm coffee, Darren walked to a door with a numeric keypad below the metal doorknob. He punched in a four-digit code, and the door opened. Inside the room, there were several consoles and even a chair, which was a major score. Now he could come in there with stuff and read it over the console while sitting. Life had just gotten better underground for him, but he still wanted to go outside to see the stars and breathe the air.

After pushing the green button to open the main doors, he was greeted by clouds and rain, but that was okay because it lessened the chances of being seen by anyone. Most people didn’t like walking around when it was rainy, so he took his time and spent a half-hour just walking around close by. When he thought he felt rejuvenated, he went back inside. A few minutes went by, and then the main doors closed behind him.

After moving a box of files into the security console room, Darren sat down in a chair and enjoyed the comfort of the chair again. He went back to Tesla’s pocket diary that recounted surviving the fire of 1895 and went past that onto something else. He flipped to the back pages and started reading more about a study concerning work that Tesla did for the federal government in Colorado four years after the fire that destroyed his laboratory. He had been hired to help develop communication technologies for them.

According to the notes, in 1898, Tesla was at the peak of his creativity. He had a hyper fixation on anything that involved high frequencies. His new location on Houston Street was doing well for him, according to what he’d written, and he was able to create new inventions at a rapid pace. His polyphase system was one such invention.

This system allowed Tesla to generate, transmit, and utilize electrical power. Tesla believed that high frequencies could offer the possibility of wireless transmissions of both signals and power.

That thought process led to the invention of what was called a Tesla Current. This was the application of alternating currents. The alternators that he was conceptualizing were an important milestone in electrical engineering there was no question.

They were the prototypes still used for modern alternators, and they were the driving power behind many of the transmitters used by the modern government. According to what Nikola had written in his personal notebook, it was also the Tesla Current, which powered many of the underground government facilities too.

“It’s insane,” said Darren, with a shake of his head. “I can’t imagine how one man could have pulled all of this off.”

By 3 a.m., though, Darren was having a hard time focusing on the papers. Regretfully, Darren decided that it was time to take a rest. He moved to a couch in the neighbouring room, bringing his rucksack with him in case he needed to make a quick retreat. Then, he lay down and stared at the ceiling.

Eventually, Darren fell into a fitful sleep, thinking about Tesla. He dreamed of the past and the one man that had resulted in so many vast changes.
