Nikola Tesla and the End of The World

At 1 minute 21 seconds the building in the background, in Trafalgar Square, as she says "There is a story in our family that my great grandfather worked with Nikola Tesla, ..." is ...


... what? Hint: it is near to a statue of George Washington, a replica donated by the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1921.  See War Crimes.

Watch all four episodes of Nikola Tesla and the End of The World and then watch this:


And on the meaning of the word sovereignty see:


On the Mason-Dixon Line, the "boundary of slavery" in the American colonies, it might be insightful to compare the Britannica and Wikipedia entries and see where they differ. Then, especially if you're my daughter, see On Feminist Genealogy.

Then see this documentary about Mark Knopfler and what motivates his music. There's a nice bit at 17 minutes about where songs come from, and what happens to their origin, and the role of Town Planners like my father, in this process, particularly in Deptford.


My great grandfather was a school-teacher in King Williamstown, South Africa, in the late 19th century. He lent his name to a school there: Current struggles of historic school that Biko attended this article was published around a month after I published this: The Foundation (Parts I,II & III).

A while later, a Foundation was set up in the UAE to hand out a US$ 1 million prize every year to the most inspiring teacher. Bill Gates is reported to have said, in this piece dated 14th February 2018: $1 Million Global Teacher Prize 2018: South African Teacher Marjorie Brown Makes Top Ten:
“When you think about what drives progress and improvement in the world, education is like a master switch—one that opens up all sorts of opportunities for individuals and societies. … and research has shown that having a great teacher can be the most important factor that determines whether students get a great education,”
I think he's right, but what does that have to do with giving the best teacher US$ 1 million?

I wonder how many of those listed here think Forbes Grant School deserves a US$ 1 million building maintenance grant? 26 Of The Richest People in South Africa. Shortly before or after I wrote that piece about The Foundation, I asked one of these 26, Mark Shuttleworth, to help me set up global telecommunications infrastructure to provide the best possible education to everyone. I never received any reply.

Don't expect that Blogger-powered Contact Us link on Forbes Grant High School to work:



We're in some sort of shit-pot jail run by the CIA and MI6 and a bunch of assholes in the UAE:

You can see the full thing here. I can't, because the guy makes me sick!
