-Caveat Lector-
Nicola Tesla, the inventor of the alternating current generator and
motor (upon which our present civilization is based), claimed to have
invented a "death ray". It sounded suspiciously like some sort of
particle beam accelerator which he claimed would protect any country
from invasion. Most thought he was a crackpot and his later writings
were ignored. However, all his writings were confiscated by the US
government in 1943 when he died. Some may never have been released to
his relatives (who incidentally were Serbians, they went to a museum in
Belgrade). However, in thinking about this possible weapon, I realized
that it may not be to the advantage of some to have such a weapon
available to all countries. It certainly would make things difficult for
NATO right now. So, it seems to me that it may be quite possible that
such a weapon has already been invented, but that it is under wraps.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
