Written as fiction, based on fact                                Tesla's Electromagnetic Pyramids, Page 1                                               Copyright Joe Vialls, 11 September 1998           In late 1968 a small group of men gathered in a rambling old house situated a few miles outside the German city of Munich. The weak afternoon sunlight was starting to fade as they sat down at the polished oak conference table, and despite a roaring log fire in the ornate fireplace there was a noticable chill in the air. These men were of no particular religion, nor were they politicians, bankers, bureaucrats or mainstream military personnel. To use their own self-effacing term they were "no-persons", just a group of intelligent men from all over the world deeply concerned about the looming probability of global thermonuclear war. The American Department of State, the British Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and the Russian Kremlin were brimming over with megalomaniacs quite capable of destroying all life on the planet in their blind quest for power, unless they could be persuaded not to do so.           Global thermonuclear war was not the only problem. Since the end of the First World War and the subsequent formation of the League of Nations, the same megalomaniacs had frequently expressed their determination to implement a "New Order", bureaucratic code for a one world government. If left to run unchecked, within a single century the megalomaniacs would remove national borders entirely, destroy delightfully diverse national cultures developed over thousands of years, and replace them in-toto with hordes of multicultural drones willing to slave for endless hours in "worker's paradises" for the exclusive benefit of a tiny but immensely powerful global elite. The first successful phase of the New Order exercise was at that very moment in full swing, less than a thousand miles away in the worker's paradise known as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.           Faced with a completely unacceptable Orwellian future, the Munich Group had two objectives: stop the megalomaniacs from destroying all life on the planet with thermonuclear weapons, and at the same time protect the myriad national cultures existing around the world from extinction. The critical question facing its members was how to achieve these awesome objectives with strictly limited resources.           The politicians and mainstream military controlled more than 90% of the conventional and nuclear weapons so their use was not an option. Besides, if the Munich Group resorted to such methods they would risk triggering a global thermonuclear exchange, the very event they were determined to prevent. Many years later this and other groups would supplement their arsenals with micronized atomic weapons for use against specific targets, but the primary weapon system under discussion at the 1968 Munich meeting was quite different, and well beyond the comprehension of any professor of classical or quantum physics.           Rising from the table, each member of the group approached a small strongroom and removed a thick black file. The strongroom door remained open throughout the meeting. If the security perimeter of the house was breached the files would be placed back in the strongroom in less than ten seconds, and the strongroom's twelve inch-thick thermite filled walls would explode into searing white-hot flames, destroying the files, the safe and most of the old house in seconds. Group members might or might not have time to escape the blazing inferno but none worried about the lethal possibility. Omega project security was far more important than personal safety.           Each identical hand-typed file was titled "Omega - The Final Solution", and contained details of an advanced global electromagnetic system based on the work of Nikola Tesla, the little-known genius despised by physicists because he did not have the "correct" academic qualifications.Despite this notional impediment, around the turn of the century Tesla managed to invent alternating current, the sort of electricity we still use in our homes today, and invented radio as well. Almost always working alone, this single man invented all of the basic electromagnetic devices which would later become essential to 20th Century civilization, from light bulbs and flourescent tubes to computers and television sets. Fortunately for the Munich Group that gloomy winter evening, Nikola Tesla also invented a great many other devices, some of them so advanced they had escaped meaningful scrutiny.           The introduction to each file focused on specific sections of Tesla's patent 787,412 dated 18th April 1905, titled "The Art of Transmitting Electrical Energy Through The Natural Mediums". During many thousands of hours of work the group had selected this patent as the core of its work, because it had allowed them to develop a global navigation network so advanced it had already proved irresistable to politicians and mainstream military alike. What the politicians and mainstream military would never be told, however, was that the "navigation network" was in reality dual-purpose, with its primary electromagnetic functions designed to be accessed by the Munich group using undetectable remote control. Several passages from Tesla's patent 787,412 were included verbatim in the introduction for special attention:-           "In the course of certain investigations which I carried out for the purpose of studying the effects of lightning discharges upon the electrical condition of the earth ... attained in the displays of electrical forces in nature and which seemed at first unrealizable by any human agencies; but by gradual and continuous improvements of a generator of electrical oscillations, which I have described in my Patents Nos. 645,576 and 649,621, I finally succeeded in reaching electrical movements or rates of delivery of electrical energy not only approximating , but, as shown in many comparative tests and measurements, actually surpassing lightning discharges, and by means of this apparatus I have reproduced whenever desired phenomena in the earth, the same or similar to those discharges. With the knowledge discovered by me and the means at command for accomplishing these results I am enabled not only to carry out many operations by the use of known instruments, but also to offer a solution for many important problems involving the operation or control of remote devices which for want of this knowledge and the absence of these means have hitherto been entirely impossible.        "... For example, by the use of a generator [transmitter] of stationary waves and receiving apparatus properly placed and adjusted in any other location, however remote, it is practicable to transmit intelligible signals or to control or actuate at will any one or all of such apparatus for many other important and valuable purposes... [or] other features or property of disturbances of this character.          "... If several such generators [transmitters] of stationary waves, preferably of different length, were installed in judiciously-selected localities, the entire globe could be subdivided in definite zones of electrical activity, and such and other important data could at once be obtained by simple calculations or readings from suitably graduated instruments."           "... For the present it will be sufficient to state that the planet behaves like a perfectly smooth or polished conductor of inappreciable resistance, with capacity and self induction uniformly distributed along the axis of symmetry of wave propagation and transmitting slow electrical oscillations without distortion and attentuation [without loss of clarity and power].           "... three requirements are essential to the establishment of the resonating condition... The earth's diameter passing through the pole should be an odd multiple of the quarter wave length - that is, of the ratio between the velocity of light, and four times the frequency of the currents... the frequency [of the transmitter] should be smaller than twenty thousand cycles per second ... The most essential requirement is that irrespective of frequency the wave or wave-train should continue for a certain period of time, which I have estimated to be not less than one-twelfth or probably 0.08484 of a second and which is taken in passing to and returning from the region diametrically opposite the pole over the earth's surface with a mean velocity of about 471,240 kilometres per second [292,822 miles per second, a velocity equal to one and a half times the "official" speed of light].           The rest of each file contained details of other Tesla patents and research work, carefully prepared and combined to enable the construction of the dual-purpose navigation network and global electromagnetic control system. When completed worldwide, to the viewing public the Omega network would appear as a series of rather boring radio-navigation masts situated at strategic points around the globe with aerial wires radiating out from the upper part of each mast, giving the appearance of a circus big top, though one of the group repeatedly insisted, with more than a little scientific justification, that the network should be called "Tesla's Electromagnetic Pyramids". Publicity material already widely circulated claimed the Omega network capable of providing radio-navigation of such high quality that it would significantly enhance the safery of ships and aircraft. This was quite true. In its "security cover" role as a radio navigation network Omega could do this with ease, and with such overwhelming accuracy for submerged submarines that the group had swiftly sold the concept to the American and Soviet defence agencies, though in subtly different ways, because the two sides were bitter enemies busily engaged in a cold war.                                                                                Next
