The Force

Russell called Tesla a friend and “spiritual mainstay” in a 1954 letter, saying they exchanged inspirations for years while supporting each other. That letter is the sole archived evidence of any link; Tesla left no matching record, and the “bury it 1000 years” story lacks documentation. On Jesus, Russell wrote that the Nazarene alone reached full cosmic consciousness, knowing the universal language of light, the atom’s structure, and the Oneness of all things. He called Jesus the outstanding mystic of history who taught impartial love and the light that is God.

Walter Russell (Walter Bowman Russell, 1871–1963). This is one of his scientific paintings, known as The Wave (or The Wave I), illustrating the generative-radiative wave cycle of creation in his cosmogony. It appears on the cover of the book In the Wave Lies the Secret of Creation.

The 1933 Chicago Plan for 100% reserve banking, backed by Irving Fisher and Chicago economists, aimed to end private money creation via fractional reserves. Congress passed milder Banking Acts of 1933 and 1935 instead, creating FDIC deposit insurance and strengthening Fed control. Banks opposed the loss of lending profits, the plan was complex, a key Senate supporter died, and FDR preferred quick confidence restoration over radical overhaul. Fractional reserve systems predate the Rothschilds by centuries.
