Dateline: Baghdad, Iraq

Back at our base camp in the Baghdad Green Zone discussing beam theory over a hookah of seesha the three of us agreed, putting together the theories of Tesla and Podkletnov could well result in a technical advantage over the U.S. Air Force. My colleagues were Georges Simenon from Belgium and Kenneth Sangar from Afghanistan, both High Tech multi-lingual agents of espionage. It was Simenon who came up with the name of Viktor Schauberger, Sangar suggested Lev Theremin and I tossed in Wilhelm Reich for the heck of it. We were agreed, no one excepting the three of us and maybe a few long memories in the military knew who these fellows were. They were 20th Century inventors with scientific backgrounds and a bit bonkers which made them one offs and suitable for government kidnaping.

Lets start with Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) who was born in Austria-Hungary and avoided kidnaping by emigrating to the U.S. in 1884. Before becoming an eccentric recluse he overshadowed his colleagues in the fields of magnetic fields and electrical power. His reputation is enhanced by strange stories about his experiments with magnetic fields and growing plants.

Viktor Schauberger (1885-1958) was an Austrian forester who developed a system of water sluices to transport logs that defied gravity and developed the theory of implosion theory which has enormous potential for tackling environmental problems but has largely been ignored. Schauberger also developed a jet turbine to utilize hydroelectric power but it was his work in vortex dynamics that attracted Hitler’s Nazi government and he was forced to develop his anti-gravity concepts. It’s been reported that he produced eight prototypes of levitating disks, like flying saucers, but they all crashed. After the war some of his papers fell into American and Russian hands but he continued his studies on water power generation by vortex action. In 1958 he was lured to the U.S. with promises of funding for inventions. However, he was debriefed and his writings and prototypes were confiscated. To leave the country he had to sign a document promising not to promote his technology. Arriving home in Austria in September of that year he died within five days, either poisoned or from a broken heart. To be sure, American businessmen feared his ideas. Had they been more receptive it’s possible that all our cars, planes, and ships, would be running on water.

Russian born Leon Theremin (1896-1993) his best known for the musical instrument he invented which is known by his last name but his interest in electronics and magnetic fields resulted in a several firsts, like the bug, a small listening device, a motion detector for doors, a rudimentary burglar alarm, and a primitive color TV. To promote his musical instrument and inventions on the drawing board, Theremin moved to the U.S. in the early 1920s and was set up with a studio by the government. He was living in a hotel in New York City when the KGB came for him in 1938. Bundled up and whisked out of the states, he would spend the next nine years in a scientific labor camp and stayed on as a civilian in the camp until 1964 where is job was creating surveillance for the military. He was then welcomed back into the academic community and worked in the University of Moscow’s acoustic research and physics departments until his death.

Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957) was born in Austria and like his fellow countryman, Viktor Schauberger, ventured to America and had his dreams crushed. Back in Vienna in 1922 Reich received a medical degree and joined Sigmund Freud as psychoanalyst at a clinic in the Austrian capital. Here he formulated his idea of energy called the science of Orgonomy which proposed that neuroses and some illnesses were caused by sexual repression. Satisfying sex, he thought, was the cure which reminds me of that Beatles song Come Together. Although his books were published he was still kicked out of several European countries for his ideas but found a brief haven in Norway where his experiments resulted in a machine called an orgone accumulator. When his papers on the accumulator were published he was, like Schauberger, invited to New York City where he was given a lab and post as a lecturer. In 1948 his book on cancer cells being caused by repressed sexual energy was published. However his experiment to determine the effects of orgone energy on radiation was a disaster. Concluding that ‘deadly orgone’ (DOR) was responsible for creating dangerous atmospheric conditions Reich invented another machine called the cloudbuster and whether or not it contained magnetic field properties it solved a drought problem in Maine in 1953 and farmers payed him for making it rain. Then he started to see UFOs and decided the cloudbuster could be used to defend Earth against an alien invasion. Most of Reich’s critics mentioned a deterioration in his mental condition at this time. Meanwhile, some of Reich’s business partners were making a bundle of bucks by selling his orgone accumulators to physicians who prescribed and sold them on to patients for therapeutic purposes. Then the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) stepped in and ruled that orgone accumulators were fraudulent medical devices, that orgone energy didn’t exist, and all literature concerning the device should be burned. When an injunction against transporting orgone accumulators across state lines was violated, Reich a was sentenced to two years in prison. Apparently a parole was arranged if Reich signed a document agreeing to never work or write about Orgonomy again. Sound familiar? Reich died behind bars and his personal effects were not released and the FDA was allowed to burn his books. The will Reich left reportedly called for his (surviving) papers to be sealed for 50 years with the hope that the world would catch up with his ideas.

Evgeny Podkletnov, in his early fifties and last on our inventors list, released his first anti- gravity paper in 1996 while other physicists had been predicting that rotating superconductors could alter gravity since 1993. Outside of high tech science magazines, the general public wasn’t informed of this mind and world altering advancement until 2002. Following a general lab procedure ‘where a ceramic disc coated with specially formulated alloys cooled to -220C and then spun at high speed in a magnetic field’ Podkletnov allegedly discovered an anti- gravity beam that extended into infinity. The question is, why aren’t we exploring other planets on fuel free flying machines? This information has been known since Viktor Schauberger’s papers were read by U.S. military scientists after World War II. Among the scientific community, the feeling in general is that anti-gravity works and because of its threat to the world order has been treated as a secret for the past 70 years. Meanwhile Podkletnov is hiding somewhere in Sweden with the Americans and Russians on his trail and he won’t grant interviews.

So what do those inventors just mentioned have to do with our mission in Iraq? We were head hunting, living in a container in the Green Zone But this zone was a dump for young dump right-wing American Christians. We were not interested in them. Alas, there were 2,662 troops and 136 U.S. government contractors we wouldn’t have to hunt down. Ever heard of a canned hunt? It’s popular with Republican high rollers from Texas and Vice- President Dick Cheney. What you do is build a fence around a field and a pond and release hundreds of domesticated pheasants and ducks and slaughter them with shotguns.

After we were asked to leave the Green Zone, Our plan was to build a modified canned hunt in the desert, an oasis of palms disguised by dunes in the desert. A cloudbuster would control the rainfall and a Tesla field would control the growth of the palms, flowers and plants. Only two legged animals would be officially allowed inside the perimeter and only if they had information about government entitlements which boiled down to which companies stole all those billions of dollars. Sangar told me that if you can make one force field you can make more. What was this project costing? Simenon said dedication. The beam was smack in the middle of the oasis and the ground was a black marble plinth. For all their brilliance the guys were still having problems with a refrigeration system when I caught a plane to Holland and a hotel in Den Hague.

Dateline: The Netherlands

Less hunkered down in a hotel with a bottle I wrote that the last bastion of defense for the regime (if civil war spreads from Iraq to the U.S.) is the White House unless the regime is bunkered down in Kansas in which unlikely case, aircraft will be limited to proscribed space. Preventing bloodshed would be a prerogative and a 50-man team of well trained commandos could easily occupy the premises with a minium of casualties. Detainees would immidetley be transferred (extraordinary rendition) to new accommodations in Abu Ghraib, Camp Nama, and the open air Guantanamo Bay barbed wire fence facilities in Cuba. By the way, extraordinary rendition and coercive interrogation are sinister euphemisms adopted by the U.S. Government for torturing prisoners in 14 undisclosed prisons around the world. The prisoners have no rights at all and in violation of international law they are tortured. Shades of Hitler and Stalin come to mind. When you hear the words, ‘We will export death and violence to the four corners of the earth in defense of our great nation.’ Chilling. Words spoken do by George Bush the younger.

Another scenario sees the White House surrounded by military troops. The presumption here is that the National Guard, indeed most of the troops, will be on the side of the people clamoring at the door for justice. The military would remember how their president treated them.

Incidently, G. Gordon Liddy’s wife has a license for 27 hand guns that are sewn into the mattress of the couple’s bed. Gordon wants to come to Europe to lecture skin heads but convicted of a felony over the Watergate break-in during the Nixon Administration (69-74) he is not eligible for a passport unless the Bush Administration excuses his past crimes. Gordon also is forbidden to have a weapon in his possession. Oh well, he was always possessed.

Don’t forget to clean your chops and tell the police about Gordon. If you go to bed with weapons, you wake up with weapons. P.G.

Dateline: Holland

Den Hague is boring they all go to bed around midnight on the weekends. I doubt if anyone there knows the cost of a gram of Afghanistani hash. In Amsterdam it is seven euros or more but not much less for a gram. That’s expensive, my hotel in the Dutch capital was reasonable. In a bar I met a Dutch helicopter pilot, on leave who operated an Apache out of Kabul. Boris was his name and his job in Afghanistan was to track U.S. truck convoys delivering supplies to the northern provinces. In the north, he told me, they have Burger King restaurants but none in Kabul. So the pilots would load the Apache with burgers in the north before returning to Kabul. Just before Boris went on leave, two of his fellow pilots crashed on the way back from the north. The copter went straight down, nose diving at tremendous speed. Miraculously both pilots survived the crash but one had his legs busted up. The terrain was too rocky for the rescue copter to land close by so the healthy pilot carried his friend out on his back just before the copter caught fire. A few days later, when the salvage team came in they discovered the pilot had carried his colleague through a mine field. The crash went down as a mechanical malfunction but Boris just shrugged when I asked if the Apache was overloaded with hashish in Whopper boxes.

Had I been to Afghanistan, Boris wanted to know. It was on my itinerary and Boris confirmed what Kenneth Sangar had told me, you could see the aurora borealis from the northern mountains but Boris had never flown that high. He also mentioned that he didn’t smoke because they drug tested pilots.

A few days later I caught another flight and on board a eureka e-mail arrived. The boys in the oasis near Baghdad had cracked the freezer problem. Using a series of linked carbon dioxide misters they had hit -220C. The magnetic field was spinning.
