Protect Net Neutrality

With just a few corporations owning all major media outlets, objective information is impossible. This is the true beauty of the Internet and "the establishment" has been losing control because of this free flow of information. Visit the emerging independent news agencies on the Internet for your information.


We must protect the Internet at all times!

(But don't trust Google not to censor just because of their Net Neutrality message here, remember they're also big business.)

Nikola Tesla, The Forgotten Father of Today

One of the greatest minds of the 19th and 20th centuries, responsible for today's modern world, Nikola Tesla is still virtually unknown to today's textbooks, teachers, and general public. Thinking back to your high school years and looking through an encyclopedia, who do you remember as the inventor of radio? The name that probably comes to mind is Marconi. And if I asked the same about X-rays, you'd probably say Roentgen. And a vacuum tube amp, probably de Forest. While you're at it, who invented the florescent bulb, neon lights, speedometer, auto ignition system, and the basics behind radar, the electron microscope, and the microwave oven? Chances are you see little, if any, mentions of Tesla. Very few people today have ever even heard of him. The all-around nice guy Thomas Edison made sure of that.
