In 1951, the United States enacted a little-known yet profoundly impactful law called the “Invention Secrecy Act.” This act grants the government the authority to classify and keep certain inventions secret, deeming them potential risks to national and economic security. But what exactly constitutes such a threat?
Imagine an invention capable of propelling a car 300 miles on a gallon of gas, or even one that allows a car to run on water. Consider a device that can extract clean water from the air or innovations that significantly reduce the profitability of major corporations. These are the types of inventions that might be silenced under the Invention Secrecy Act.
The U.S. government often views its own citizens as potential threats, especially when their inventions could disrupt the profits of powerful corporations. Inventors who develop groundbreaking technologies that could benefit humanity have faced severe repercussions. Some have mysteriously disappeared, while others have faced untimely deaths. The underlying message is clear: if an invention threatens corporate profits or government interests, it is deemed a threat.
Take, for example, agricultural practices. Innovations that promote self-reliance, such as seeds that can be reused, are viewed as threats. Companies like Monsanto have dominated the seed market, compelling farmers to purchase new seeds each season rather than reusing their own. This control extends to other areas: if you grow your own food or become self-reliant in any way, you pose a threat to their profit margins.
Under a secrecy order, inventions cannot be discussed, exported, or sold. Violating this order can result in imprisonment for the inventor. Currently, there are over 6,000 patents kept secret by the U.S. government. These include technologies that could revolutionize our lives but are instead buried to maintain the status quo.
Historical figures like Nikola Tesla provide a poignant illustration of this issue. Tesla’s revolutionary inventions were suppressed, leading him to die in poverty. His vision of providing free energy to humanity was thwarted by those who sought to profit from his genius.
Originally, the Invention Secrecy Act was intended to prevent sensitive information from falling into enemy hands during times of war or national emergency. However, it has evolved into a tool for maintaining economic control. As the act is renewed annually, it continues to silence innovation under the guise of national security.
This war on innovation contributes to a growing disparity in American society. The middle class is vanishing, leaving a stark divide between the wealthy and the poor. The systemic suppression of beneficial technologies ensures that wealth and power remain concentrated in the hands of a few.
Reflecting on medieval times, lords would tax and control their serfs to maintain power. Similarly, today’s governments and corporations impose financial and legal burdens to prevent individuals from gaining independence and stability. This deliberate transfer of wealth keeps the majority struggling, ensuring that power remains firmly in the hands of the elite.
The Invention Secrecy Act exemplifies a hidden war against progress and innovation. By stifling groundbreaking inventions, it perpetuates a cycle of dependency and control, ensuring that true prosperity remains out of reach for most. Understanding and challenging this act is crucial for fostering an environment where innovation can thrive, benefiting all of humanity rather than just a select few.
