Nikolai Tesla and Thomas Edison had an epic battle of inspired, up-and-coming inventor (Tesla) vs the successful, well-respected and established inventor/businessman (Edison).

Round One: FIGHT!
Yeah, so they totally made up "Tesla-cize" above, but we're pitting the two inventors against each other in a strange fact-off.* They duke it out. A winner is you!
Wait. What? Tesla believed that both voice and image could be transmitted through the air. Click "Like" above if you just read that sentence over a wireless connection.
He was a rocker. He rocked out. Edison had a tattoo, but also invented the engraving apparatus that was later adapted by Samuel O'Reilly into the modern rotary tattoo machine.
And the number of the counting shall be three. Toward the end of his life, Tesla became obsessed with the number 3. He died in the New Yorker's suite Suite 3327.
Made for each other. Edison proposed to second wife Mina in Morse Code. She also accepted in Morse.
Pew pew pew! In 1934 Tesla conceived of a weapon (for national defense) which would use electrostatic repulsion to shoot a beam of particles. Death ray!
Shocking. No, really. As part of his campaign to debunk alternating current, Edison encouraged the use of AC power to electrocute dogs, cats, a horse, a man, and an elephant. And filmed it.
Absence makes the brain grow stronger. Edison was (mostly) deaf. Tesla was celibate. Both claimed the lack helped them work better.

The unfortunate thing is that it makes it too time consuming to try to sort out legitimate questions. I apologize to those asking serious, important questions, but I've decided to answer all questions with information I want to put out. Hopefully, this will reach some intelligent people who can do something with the information.
Here's a starter list of info sites:
The first are my old blogspot blogs. Use caution here. Google has apparently teamed up with one or more commercial or government spy sites. Clicking on graphics no longer magnifies them but redirects your click secretly to one of those sites.

Because of the Google problem, I've been reposting the info in WordPress. I've broken some of them down, but the order they appear in leaves something to be desired. I'm trying to correct that.

The Obamacare posts in lostliberty1 appear in order with the earliest appearing first. I broke the New World Order map and info down into two in proper order, but preceding those is “New Voice” which should follow the other two. They would best be viewed in this order:

The posts on Regionalism are also not in the order for best reading. They can best be viewed in this order:

Again, I broke down some long posts. The order here also leaves a lot to be desired.
America's Ruling Party can best be viewed in this order:

This is a great site for those who like history before it was rewritten:

This is another great site for books and documents that Charlotte Iserbyte's son wanted to preserve before they went down the Memory Hole:

Finally, Ed Balajeski spent almost his whole adult life taking Conspiracy from Theory to Fact. He concentrated his output in the Pennsylvania Crier which dealt with regionalism as the means of destroying America from within to soften her for World Government. He does deal extensively with that World Government as well.

I again apologize to those who were asking questions out of sincerity and not just to spam for points. I regret I had to turn to spam in self-defense.
(sigh) If only he had won...
Nikola Tesla was born to Serbian parents in the village of Smiljan, Austrian Empire near the town of Gospić, in the territory of modern-day Croatia. His baptismal certificate reports that he was born on 28 June (N.S. 10 July) 1856 to father Milutin Tesla, a priest in the Serbian Orthodox Church. His mother was Đuka Tesla, née Mandić, whose father was also a Serbian Orthodox priest. She was talented in making home craft tools and memorized many Serbian epic poems, but never learned to read. Tesla's biographer John O'Neill relates that "the Tesla and Mandić families originally came from the western part of Serbia near Montenegro."
Like many of his era, he developed a fondness for eugenics.
However Tesla was the true visionary...
Random fact XD XD

Edison wanted DC power which was more dangerous and very limited as voltage drop was tremendous over distance.
AC is more efficient and easy to step up to high voltage low current then step down to low voltage high current
