Many people write and say, “Do it my way.”
This is for those of you who are curious as to why we are doing things the
way we are. There may be better ways. But in our case, we have tried
different approaches and have our own money and time invested.
In the delightful book, "Why SOB's Succeed and Nice Guys Fail in
Business" by Bob Morrison, Bob recommends that once you are
successful you should get involved in politics and make certain
politicians owe you favors. Then you encourage them to pass laws that will
make it difficult to impossible for any competitors to enter the market.
I don't know if everyone read that book or not. I do know that being put
out of business by some government bureaucrazy or political hack is an
everyday occurrence.
After running a full page advertisement in USA Today about our tour
demonstrating the concepts behind the technology to introduce “Free Home
Electricity”; the Attorney General for the State of Tennessee sent a
demand that UCSA have a working model on his desk the following afternoon
by 2:00pm or be prosecuted.
Later on we were civilly prosecuted by the attorney general of the state
of Tennessee with the complaintant being the state of Tennessee before a
magistrate working for the state of Tennessee. There were no complaints
from any individual.
When Dennis appeared in court to represent the companies
he owned 100% of, and was founder of and President of, he was told he
could not be heard. The magistrate told him he had to hire Tennessee
attorneys in order to be heard in court.
You multiply this nonsense by fifty states and you can go bankrupt
quickly.
I was included in the complaint in Tennessee. That makes some modicum of
sense. I live here and paid for one of the free demonstration shows. The
fact there were no complaints is not an issue that government
bureaucrazies worry overly about.
I also received a demand from the state of Minnesota. I was pretty cocky
in my response to Minnesota. I will just have to avoid the state until the
Minnie bureaucrazies honor their oaths to uphold their state and US
Constitutions. It could be a cold day in Hell.
A quote by Robert Heinlein is appropriate here: “Never attribute to
conspiracy that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”
The last time Dennis advertised a working model was in 1987. This
prototype cost over $400,000. to build. His door was kicked in by police.
The unit and all of their other equipment, research, and records were
confiscated. Dennis was prosecuted for fraud, mail fraud, conspiracy, etc.
The unit couldn't be found by the government for demonstration in court.
Dennis successfully proved to that court's satisfaction in California that
the device could fulfill their claims. He did this by producing many of
the experts who worked on the prototype. These people testified that they
had been threatened by police officers that they would be killed if they
testified.
Dennis was cleared on all charges with one to be resolved. Dennis was sent
to jail for two years for not filling out what is essentially a vending
machine operator form. No one has ever been prosecuted before or since
under that law and no one else has ever been sent to jail for not filling
out that form... And the form, probably, did not apply to him anyway.
He managed to get the unit back years later. The unit was dented and
rusted and unworkable at that time. Most of the other products being
developed were never recovered.
You can find out more about that story with copies of court transcripts,
newspaper articles, etc. by ordering the book "The Alternative"
from the website.
Alexander Graham Bell was prosecuted for fraud for trying
to raise capital to manufacture telephone equipment. The prosecution
claimed that carrying voices over wires was impossible and no one would
want them anyway.
After that you might think attorney generals would learn something from
that fiasco and not prosecute anyone for anything similar?
