Secrecy and how it affects our world

Posted on 10. Nov, 2010 by in Engineering, History, Home, Inventions, Medicine, People, Planet Earth, Science, Show All, Spiritual, Uncategorized

Secrecy is a big issue that affects all of us and the future of our planet. For example, if I invented an engine that runs on water, it would quickly be stamped ‘Top Secret’ and disappeared. I would be forbidden to talk about or develop my own invention. This kind of thing happens regularly.My fictitious invention may be be passed on (sold) to a corporation where it would be developed for the military, or for sale, or just buried. I would probably never be acknowledged as the inventor, nor see any royalties. I may or may not personally survive this process. You have to understand that an invention like an engine that runs on water would change the world. Poor countries would soon become prosperous. The balance of power in the world would change dramatically.

If for some reason an important or ‘World Changing’ invention slips by the ‘Top Secret’ criteria, it will quickly be stolen. I have seen these things happen with my own eyes. If, for example, I invented an effective $1.oo cure for cancer, I would never be allowed to release it. This invention would cost some big corporations trillions of dollars a year. This is not evil and the corporations involved at this level are not evil. This is just business, profit and loss, putting competitors out of business, gaining a competitive edge, maintaining the status quo, etc. RB

Invention Secrecy Still Going Strong

There were 5,135 inventions that were under secrecy orders at the end of Fiscal Year 2010, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office told Secrecy News last week.  It’s a 1% rise over the year before, and the highest total in more than a decade.

Under the Invention Secrecy Act of 1951, patent applications on new inventions can be subject to secrecy orders restricting their publication if government agencies believe that disclosure would be “detrimental to the national security.”

The current list of technology areas that is used to screen patent applications for possible restriction under the Invention Secrecy Act is not publicly available and has been denied under the Freedom of Information Act.  (An appeal is pending.)  But a previous list dated 1971 and obtained by researcher Michael Ravnitzky is available here (pdf).

Most of the listed technology areas are closely related to military applications.  But some of them range more widely.

Thus, the 1971 list indicates that patents for solar photovoltaic generators were subject to review and possible restriction if the photovoltaics were more than 20% efficient.  Energy conversion systems were likewise subject to review and possible restriction if they offered conversion efficiencies “in excess of 70-80%.”

One may fairly ask if disclosure of such technologies could really have been “detrimental to the national security,” or whether the opposite would be closer to the truth.  One may further ask what comparable advances in technology may be subject to restriction and non-disclosure today.  But no answers are forthcoming, and the invention secrecy system persists with no discernible external review.

    Hi Robert, secrecy is indeed a terrible thing, apart from the amazing benign tech that is suppressed, like Nicoli Tesla`s work on free unlimited energy, orgone, royal Raymond Rife, and the various cancer cures that have been hidden, there is the awful damaging stuff the military and our elite betters play with. Like HAARP and chemtrails and all the horrible militarized EMF. And we the proles have to stump up for the damage these corporations do to the planet with fraudulent green energy taxes and bogus carbon credit swaps, I just wish everyone would see through them. Godbless
    Vince.

      G’day Vincent,

      All these things fit together.

      what if?

      What if, beneath these things, was an altruistic ‘best case scenario’

      And that the powers behind these things actually have the ‘best case scenario’ at heart.

      what if?

      But, as for the big corporations, they are another matter. They are not evil, they are just corporations. They want better profits, and reduced competition. This allows one to predict their actions.

    It is incredible how you, Robert, has survived done the high reliability of your teachings. We must to aknowledge government blindness. ¡¡Aleluya!!

      G’day Angel,

      To this end, I generally mind my own business, respect the privacy of others, and avoid areas that could expose me to the radar of the powers that be in this world.

    Then, following your thought line, you’ll never expose publicly material derived from your research that could directly damage government interests. That’s a clever attitude.

    But about contributing government interests, ¿What is your attitude? By example, advertising about asteroid impact or anyother disaster, human related or nature related.

    My best regards,
    Ángel

      I may one day reconsider my approach, if I were in a situation where I could help the world.

      Prophecy is only seriously considered after predicted events happen, so it is often a pointless exercise that mainly serves the ego.
