EPISODE 11:
Free energy revolution and the devastation that followed
Mike: “Welcome to another episode of Interdimensional Talks with your host, Mike. Today’s guest is an activist for free and accessible energy. She’s not a scientist, nor does she come from an engineering background. In fact, she was just a normal, run-of-the-mill housewife, as she calls it until she stumbled upon a conspiracy that was so ludicrous, insane, and unbelievable that she just had to find out the truth. Without further ado, allow me to introduce Helen Smith of Parallel Earth 3563. Thank you for joining us, Helen.”
Helen: “It’s my pleasure, Mike. How’re you doing?”
Mike: “Fine, thank you. And yourself?”
Helen: “It’s been a rough couple of years, but I’m feeling much better now.”
Mike: “I’m glad to hear it, Helen. Would you like to tell us a bit about yourself?”
Helen: “I think you said all that needs to be said. Except that I’m no activist, I’m a small cog in a big machine, part of the Free Energy Resistance movement. I’m not here to promote myself but to warn you about what I think is coming your way.”
Mike: “Humble and to the point. Very well, please go on. Perhaps start by explaining the Free Energy Resistance movement to our audience.”
Helen: “FER is a movement that came out of necessity. It’s not so much ideologically driven as an existential necessity for us to survive and the truth to prevail.”
Mike: “What is your goal in FER?”
Helen: “To stop the oil Barons from hiding the truth about free energy and allow every human on earth access to free and widely accessible energy. We believe it’s every person’s right, not a privilege, to be paid for with hard-earned money.”
Mike: “I would ideologically agree with you, Helen, but energy production costs money. Someone has to either produce it or harness it. They have the right to be compensated, do they not?”
Helen: “That was true until we found out it was all bullshit. Pardon my language.”
Mike: “That’s alright. No worries.”
Helen: “You see, we, too, believed that the only viable way to produce energy was via either oil, coal, nuclear, hydro, or solar. We were lied to, Mike. We were deceived, and I believe you are being lied to as well.”
Mike: “Lied to by whom? The Oil Barons? Who are they?”
Helen: “Those who stand to lose their power and wealth from revealing the truth.”
Mike: “I’ve got to be honest here, Helen. This all sounds like a conspiracy theory. The whole ominous “they” who want to suppress the truth for their secret benefit.”
Helen: “Yes, I know. That’s why they’ve managed to keep it hidden for so long.”
Mike: “Keep what hidden — exactly?”
Helen: “That we can harness free energy straight from the Earth’s natural resonance frequency and use it to transmit electricity wirelessly. There is no need for fossil fuels anymore. Anyone can build their own electricity farm and access free energy forever.”
Mike: “This all sounds a bit, how shall I say? Too good to be true?”
Helen: “Yes, it does. It sounds like a silly conspiracy theory or science fiction. I know. Except it is true.”
Mike: “On your Earth, you mean. Because I don’t think we have access to free energy in this universe — unfortunately. But it sure would be nice.”
Helen: “Perhaps. I can only speak for our world. Maybe your Earth doesn’t vibrate and produce its own frequency that we call…”
Mike: “The Schumann resonance?”
Helen: “Exactly! So we’re not that different after all.”
Mike: “What does the Schumann resonance have to do with free energy, Helen?”
Helen: “Everything. Imagine the Earth’s Schumann resonance as a powerful broadcasting station, constantly emitting a signal like a radio tower. If you had a specialized receiver that could tune into this Earthly broadcast, you could receive its signal.
In this analogy, just as radios or televisions are tuned to specific frequencies to pick up signals, a different kind of technology can be tuned to resonate with the Earth’s natural frequency. Instead of tuning into radio waves or TV signals, a receiver would tap into the Earth’s resonance, capturing the energy that permeates the atmosphere.
Much like a well-tuned radio can pull in clear signals from the airwaves, we can efficiently capture and harness energy wirelessly by aligning with the Earth’s resonance. Perhaps a better analogy would be that we can harness the energy from this core vibration like we can harness energy from the sun’s waves. Again, I’m not a scientist. I just know that it works, not exactly how it works if you know what I mean.”
Mike: “Well, I use the internet and computers and don’t really understand them either. Not to mention this multiverse transmitter and receiver, we have learned to operate but have no idea how to replicate. I can relate, is what I’m saying.”
Helen: “I’m glad it’s not a woman thing.”
Mike: “I assure you, it’s not. Most of us don’t understand the technology we use. My interns informed me that the process you’re describing is awfully similar to Tesla’s ideas from a century ago.”
Helen: “What does that tell you?”
Mike: “That you’re either making things up, and I’m not accusing you of anything, or that something is indeed amiss.”
Helen: “Which is it, if you had to guess, Mike?”
Mike: “I see no reason for you to waste your time coming onto this show or to throw away your life advocating for free energy if you didn’t believe it was possible.”
Helen: “You’re wrong! I don’t believe it’s possible. I know it works.”
Mike: “How do you know this?”
Helen: “Because I use it every day. It’s what powers our communication right now, and my house, my car, you name it.”
Mike: “You’re using Tesla’s technology in your day-to-day life?”
Helen: “Well, not his technology, but an advanced model derived from his basic idea. We each have one in our homes, and larger towers power the public infrastructure.”
Mike: “So, it’s not just a conspiracy theory?”
Helen: “No, Mike, it’s not. That term is what the people who don’t want the truth to come out use to deceive us. The ominous “they.” Especially if the truth is so absurd and evil, we instinctively can’t believe it.”
Mike: “Conspiracy theories have been getting their validation here as well. More and more of them aren’t theories anymore but proven facts. It’s all quite insane. But let’s not get sidelined here. Why would anyone want to hide this from the world? I just can’t see their motivation.”
Helen: “Do you know how many companies and countries depend on fossil fuels?”
Mike: “A lot, I’m guessing?”
Helen: “Trillions of dollars, millions of people, and a few very powerful countries. All of them have one nightmare scenario — free energy for all. What do you think they’re willing to do to protect their interests?”
Mike: “Well, when you put it like this.”
Helen: “I’m asking you. What do you think is the limit to what companies and countries with limitless power and resources, and everything to lose, would be willing to do in order to maintain their power?”
Mike: “Anything, I suppose.”
Helen: “Can you think of some ways they would try to suppress the free energy technology?”
Mike: “I feel like I’m being interviewed here, Helen. That’s not how this works. But alright. I would think they would lobby the politicians, bribe, and buy up all the patents. Maybe take over smaller competition by investing in them. I don’t know.”
Helen: “Oh, you poor, innocent thing.”
Mike: “I’m sorry?”
Helen: “You can’t even imagine what they’re capable of, can you?”
Mike: “I can imagine many things, Helen, but we’re talking about reality here. Countries and companies use lobbying to advance their interests. We all know this. What I don’t know is why that’s allowed, but that’s another story.”
Helen: “You know nothing, Mike!”
Mike: “Enlighten me.”
Helen: “We have proof of thousands of assassinations around the world. This technology has been out there for a hundred years. Hundreds of individual inventors around the world have discovered plausible working models of free energy. All of them either bought out or killed off.”
Mike: “And we’re back to conspiracy theories.”
Helen: “They’re not theories if you have proof. But that’s all ancient history for us. These things were brought to light a long time ago. A lot has changed since then.”
Mike: “So this is all public knowledge on your Earth? Is that what you’re saying?”
Helen: “No. It’s ancient history. Since the public reveal of the truth and a working model, we’ve been through a civil war, international incidents, and even nukes vaporizing millions of people. What is a funny conspiracy for you, Mike, is a dire reality for us.”
Mike: “Auch! I’m sorry to hear that, Helen. I meant no disrespect. I wasn’t aware it got so severe.”
Helen: “You have no idea.”
Mike: “How, then, were you able to break through the suppression and reveal the technology to the world?”
Helen: “With great difficulty. The first few attempts failed. People disappeared, some sold out, but more importantly, the information was tainted by infiltrated bad actors. The scientific community ridiculed the whole idea. Nobody would even touch it. The media triggered a censorship campaign, and all the social media followed. The prosecutors hunted all people associated with the release, branding them as scammers and traitors. It seemed so hopeless for so long. You can’t even imagine how trapped you feel when an overwhelming operation of governments and media begins to suck the air around you.”
Mike: “I would imagine it feels desperate. We’ve only seen shadows of the censorship and prosecution you’re talking about during the pandemic, but it was a living nightmare for those who didn’t go with the main narrative. Still, nothing compared to what you’re describing.”
Helen: “A living nightmare is a good description, Mike.”
Mike: “How did you prevail?”
Helen: “We got lucky and attracted a known hacker group with deep ties to the cause. They were passionate about bringing free energy to the world and exposing the truth and had the means to do it. Without their backing, we wouldn’t have stood a chance.”
Mike: “What did they do?”
Helen: “They created a whole new informational network hidden under a layer of cryptographic currency archived on hundreds of thousands of nodes (computers) worldwide. Once encrypted, messages were impossible to delete and kept spreading until enough people saw the truth.
They somewhat illegally obtained documents of lobbying, bribes, and even assassinations and brought them to light. Flooding the internet with manuals, explanations, and ideas, we were able to break through the censorship machine. A whole underground informational system was built to connect us and help us.
Long story short, we revealed the atrocities of these companies and governments and gave everyone who wanted the means to build a free energy-harnessing device in their garage. Just like you can build a home radio out of some spare parts. By then, it was impossible to stop us covertly.”
Mike: “Wow. That would have made for a good movie! How did they react?”
Helen: “Like a trapped tiger. First, they initiated vast disinformation campaigns saying this technology caused massive cancers in everyone exposed, even from afar, and forbade the use of it, with the penalty of prison. They produced countless false scientific studies and, armed with false proof, hammered down on everyone who was caught building, using, or spreading information about the technology.”
Mike: “But that sounds like you failed, Helen. Wasn’t that enough to stop you?”
Helen: “For a while, it was. But not all countries benefited from fossil fuels. Not all bent their knees to the foreign threats and briberies. Slowly but surely, they worked on perfecting their technology. Hidden at first, but once it was out, they succeeded…”
Mike: “It was all over. The bad guys were defeated?”
Helen: “Actually, no, Mike. You’re allowing your naive inner child to do the thinking again. Maybe let him go watch cartoons or something and invite the adult to the room.”
Mike: “Um, harsh, Helen, and uncalled for.”
Helen: “I’m sorry. It’s just… Your naiveness is killing me right now.”
Mike: “Then educate me.”
Helen: “Right. Well, insubordinate countries resisting technological suppression were the cause of international wars that followed. All under false pretenses, of course, but we all knew what was happening. First came the sanctions, then the propaganda to ready us for war, painting them as enemies, and then the rockets flew.
Fossil-fuel-strong nations came after those countries that refused to cease developing (FET) free energy technology. It was a bloodbath. But there’s always a breaking point. After a while, people began fighting back against their own governments. Decade-long civil wars replaced international wars. It was a mess, Mike. A bloody and exhausting mess.”
Mike: “I can’t believe what you’re saying. All of this happened because of technology to harness free energy? How is any of this possible?”
Helen: “Power corrupts and ultimate power…”
Mike: “Corrupts ultimately.”
Helen: “Free energy that was supposed to save us from hunger and misery and propel us toward a utopian future ended up almost being our end. All because of greed and lust for power. In the two decades since the grand reveal, two billion people have perished in wars.”
Mike: “Wait! What? Holly shit! Did you say two billion people died in the wars?”
Helen: “I did. That’s the official number, anyway.”
Mike: “I am speechless, Helen.”
Helen: “We never saw it coming. Things just escalated. One thing leads to another, one front opens the next, one wrong word, and missiles start flying. When offered a solution to most of our factual problems, humans decided to suppress it and chose to revert to killing each other. It’s all just so sad. We do not deserve to survive as a species.”
Mike: “Were there nuclear weapons involved?”
Helen: “Does it even matter?”
Mike: “Kind of, yeah.”
Helen: “By all accounts, roughly 173 nukes were launched, and about half reached their targets. The world has never seen such devastation. It was literally on fire.”
Mike: “And yet, you’re still here. You survived a nuclear apocalypse. How is that even possible? I thought that a nuclear war was the end of all humanity.”
Helen: “It turns out that seeing mushroom clouds in the sky can stay your hands. World War III, even though it was never called that, ended on that single day when nukes took to the sky. There was no retaliation. There was only death and despair. In was one-sided mayhem of such devastating proportions, it ended the war instantly.”
Mike: “Who launched them and at whom?”
Helen: “We did — the USA. Not one single country has ever fired a nuke at another throughout history. It was always us. Not one nuclear-capable country retaliated. Not because they couldn’t. But because they chose not to. Realizing how escalating from that point only led to the utter destruction of everything, leaders decided enough was enough.
Two billion souls paid the ultimate price, but I guess it could have been a lot more. I won’t go into details. It might be dangerous for your listeners. It would be irresponsible to imply something similar will happen in your universe.”
Mike: “I’m sorry you had to go through it all. I can’t believe such a thing is even possible.”
Helen: “We didn’t either. Don’t be sorry, Mike, just make sure nothing similar happens to your world.”
Mike: “Sure. Wait — are you blaming yourselves for this catastrophe?”
Helen: “Of course. If we had not insisted on releasing free energy technology to the world, two billion people would still be alive. Despite using it now, I don’t think the price was worth it.”
Mike: “I’m sure you are not the cause of World War III, Helen.”
Helen: “Well, not me personally. But our movement.”
Mike: “No, not even your movement or the technology itself. People are people, and we’re always drifting toward annihilation of our own making. I would go as far as to say it is inevitable that we step into our trap and set the world afire once more.”
Helen: “Where has that innocent, naive inner voice gone, Mike?”
Mike: “It got scared and gave up on humanity. You said you are using this free energy technology as we speak. How is that possible after all that devastation?”
Helen: “The big bad wolf won. There is nothing more to fear and no one to compete with us.”
Mike: “Just like that?”
Helen: “Just like that. Now, free energy is okay since we wield even more power and control than before. We are effectively the world’s government now. Who is going to challenge us when they’ve seen what we do to our enemies? Who is going to outcompete us technologically or economically when we own everything?
It’s game over. We won, but at what cost? Perhaps this was always the way it was going to end. Maybe utopia was only ever possible after utter devastation and complete control over all the resources. I hope this new era of prosperity will somehow make up for the horrors that enabled it. If we had seventy years of relative peace after World War II, maybe we’ll get seven hundred years this time around.”
Mike: “I hope so. I really do, Helen. This took a dark turn. I did not see it coming. I thought we would have a pleasant conversation about technology and the applications of free energy, but we ended up with two billion radiating corpses.”
Helen: “We still can.”
Mike: “Can what?”
Helen: “Talk about the benefits of free energy. If you wish?”
Mike: “I thought you said you wanted to dissuade us from pursuing free energy?”
Helen: “No, Mike. I wanted to warn you that forcing the issue can be dangerous. Things can spiral out of control when powerful people feel threatened, so do things differently! I never said not to pursue developing free energy technology. It is, after all, the means to set us all free.”
Mike: “How do you mean?”
Helen: “Free energy is prosperity. You need energy for everything. From building, technology, heating, food production, medicine, science… Energy is everything, and free energy opens up limitless technological and social development options. It’s only been a few years of peace here, and we’re seeing giant leaps in improving our lives.
Free energy enables us to prosper beyond imagination. It is the next step in our evolution, technological though it may be. With free energy, anything is possible, Mike. Even a proper utopia, as long as we all agree on what that means and manage not to kill each other in the process of negotiating a beneficial future for all. A monumental task in itself.”
Mike: “So there is hope, after all. Knowing what you know now, how would you go about developing and releasing this free energy technology to the world if you could do it all over again?”
Helen: “I honestly don’t know. We thought we were doing the right thing but ended up killing billions of innocent people. Maybe we just weren’t ready for such a revelation then. Perhaps we need to grow as people before gaining access to free energy.”
Mike: “So, bury the truth until we’re ready? Really? That’s your solution?”
Helen: “You haven’t seen what I’ve seen. The thing that was supposed to make everything better brought the worse out in people.”
Mike: “But isn’t that what “the infamous they” were trying to do in the first place?”
Helen: “It’s not the same…”
Mike: “If I knew of a way to harness free energy from thin fucking air, I couldn’t sit on that information, Helen. To hell with the consequences! You did the right thing. It just ended badly. You couldn’t have known.”
Helen: “I shared your belief, as you well know. But the price we paid is heavy, Mike. I came to your show so you wouldn’t be as naive as we were. Now you know what can happen if free energy is released.”
Mike: “I understand. It’s not your fault. You didn’t cause this. All you did was make sure people found out the truth. You had good intentions. The rest was out of your hands.”
Helen: “That doesn’t make it okay.”
Mike: “Maybe the death of two billion people is the price of a lasting utopia. Maybe this is your Star Trek moment when humanity manages to cast aside their differences and go among the stars seeking peaceful expansion.”
Helen: “I see, I’m talking to your inner naive kid again. Never change, Mike. Someone has to remain an optimist with a vision of a better future.”
Mike: “Guilty as charged!”
Helen: “I’m exhausted. Reliving this nightmare was unpleasant, but I’m still glad we talked.”
Mike: “So am I, even though I now feel all gloomy about the future and the prospect of free energy harnessing devices.”
Helen: “Then don’t make our mistakes, and you should be fine.”
Mike: In essence, free energy is real, but you should forget you know it until humanity is ready for infinite power. Great.”
Helen: “Something like that, yeah. Good luck, whatever you decide.”
Mike: “Goodbye, and thank you for coming on, Helen.
And with this dreary mood, we must end our show. I’ll admit I expected tales of prosperity, technology, and maybe even space exploration, but all I got was more violence and devastation with a touch of mushroom clouds. Tell you what, dear listeners, we heard the warning, but we know that there are infinite possibilities regarding the future. Maybe our path to free energy will be smooth sailing from start to finish. Disregarding all the dead scientists and inventors we already know about. If you should find a good pattern, math, or schematic for a free energy device, let us know, and we’ll broadcast it to the multiverse. Perhaps that will do the trick. One can always hope. Good night and sweet electric dreams, everyone.
