The Suppression
Nikola Tesla died alone in poverty in a New York hotel room on January 7, 1943. The next morning,
the FBI raided his room and confiscated all his papers, blueprints, and inventions. They were
declared "top secret" — and 82 years later, many remain classified.
This man held over 300 patents. He invented AC electricity, radio, remote control, and wireless
power transmission. He proposed free energy for all humanity. And for that, he was persecuted,
stolen from, and left to die in poverty while others profited from his genius.
