‘Suppression of Inventions and other Discoveries’ by Jonathan
Eisen chronicles one of the darkest sides of our culture. As the topics of
misinformation, campaigns, attacks by orthodoxy and other unpalatable wrongs is
a good fit for a large collection I think, the author has grouped this book
into four sections.
In section I, alternative medicine is examined with emphasis
on the way modern medicine. How the medical companies and their agents have
constantly obstructed any foray into new fields, however nontoxic and
inexpensive, the methods of medical treatment proposed. How, a large multitude
of suffering patients with serous degenerative illnesses like AIDS, cancer etc
are denied possible cure as a result of such obstructionist approaches.
Section II deals with the efforts taken by organized science
to suppress independent research, especially of unorthodox in nature. How the
state has constantly resorted to burning of books, destroying laboratories and
obstructing pure thought. Selective suppression of certain works of Freud, the
water wizard, Schauberger, Egyptian history and Dr Velikovsky, Neurophone which
works towards enabling one to hear sounds utilizing signals from the skin and
Dr Batteau, are some of the notable instances covered here.
Section III is about UFO and extra terrestrials and the
involvement in these, by governments. How certain enthusiasts of science beat
anti-gravity and how their discovery do not fit into the current view, how they
establish a connection between electricity and gravity, and how they encounter
discouragement from every quarter of state and its authority, are discussed in
this section. Critical insight into the many sightings of UFO as well as, the
controversies surrounding the US Moon mission and its historical background are
few of the exciting parts of this section.
Section IV is about the quest for fuel savers and the call
for alternate energy and how that is stymied by established science. Pogue’s
research into the possibility of utilizing fuel vapor, the aura around Nikolai
Tesla, Lester J Hendershot’s machine utilizing the magnetic field of Earth,
Henri Moray’s foray into Radiant Energy, Pacheko and the technology to trap
hydrogen, are some of the interesting descriptions contained here.
This book is an eye opener. It familiarized me with two things. People take a lot
of interest in exploring, collecting data, analyzing and reaching conclusions. People
also take a lot of interest in preventing someone from exploring, collecting
data, analyzing and reaching conclusions. The former, I knew. Now I know the
latter.
Each chapter of this book presents a unique case of
unparalleled machination, and there is suspense at every turn of page. I found
this book arousing, one that will also leave you with a plethora of thoughts.
