COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, it is becoming obvious why the government has suppressed you, and others are trying to prevent people from listening to you. What has blown my mind is that you put out the ECM cycle on the Russian Ukraine War, and you had the date of May 15th published since 2022. The negotiations on Ukraine in Istanbul with Russia are scheduled for May 15, the exact day you said this war would have a key turning point, 3 years in advance. I know you have been persecuted for your discovery rather than hailed as the discoverer of a new dimension in global social-political science. We should all be writing to Trump and the Nobel Prize Committee to listen to you. This is more than just about you. We have to wake up as a society before it’s too late.
Nikola Tesla’s last words lamented that he dedicated his life to accomplishment and was persecuted for it. They have done the same to you, and that has offended me deeply.
God bless you. You have been sent to teach society a new way of viewing the world.
Ralph
REPLY: Thank you. This frequency has picked up so many events on the day that it is remarkable. The Economic Confidence Model has worked countless times to the very day. There is certainly order hiding beneath the appearance of chaos. The vast majority will NEVER give me credit for anything during my lifetime. That is just the way it always works.
Yet, what you describe about Tesla’s treatment is on par with humanity. What I have discovered will only become widely accepted after I am gone, not before. They tried to kill me, but I survived. Giordano Bruno (1548 – February 17th, 1600) was burned alive for agreeing with Copernicus that the sun was at the center of the solar system, not Earth. It is dangerous to discover something that society does not want to hear. Gallileo was forced to confess and change his theories to avoid being burned alive like Bruno. My discovery in cyclical analysis has threatened the bankers and those who think they can manipulate society. For that reason alone, I have been persecuted and will never be recognized during my lifetime. That is how society works, and it refuses to learn or take just one step forward in knowing how things truly work.
Hypatia was a prominent female figure in philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, and mechanics in the 4th-century city of Alexandria. She was murdered in the year 415 AD by an angry mob who literally tore her to pieces before killing her. Even German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was also a logician, scientist, mathematician, mechanic, and physicist. He knew about the law, history, foreign affairs, and languages. Leibniz was a brilliant person. Before Newton did, he came up with mathematical analysis, worked on combinatorics and the foundations of mathematical logic, described the binary number system with the numbers 0 and 1 used by computers today, and made many other important discoveries that changed many fields. He was in a fight with Newton and was prejudiced because he was not English. Leibniz’s last years were tough because George I, King of Great Britain, didn’t like him and thought he was nothing more than a court historian. The famous scientist was harassed and dragged into court dramas. He was also put under house arrest and was constantly being watched by a spy. Because he was out of favor in London, the Royal Society refused to even view it as appropriate to recognize his passing. Even in death, their hatred continued.
Throughout history, many inventors made groundbreaking contributions but received little recognition or even contempt during their lifetimes. Here’s a list of another 11 notable figures whose work was rejected until after their deaths:
1. Antonio Meucci (1808–1889)
-
Invention: Early telephone prototype (“teletrofono”).
-
Why Unrecognized: Lacked funds to patent his invention, leading Alexander Graham Bell to secure the patent first. Meucci died in poverty, and the U.S. Congress only acknowledged his contribution in 2002.
2. Hedy Lamarr (1914–2000)
-
Invention: Frequency-hopping spread spectrum (basis for Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth).
-
Why Unrecognized: Known primarily as a Hollywood actress, her patent was classified during WWII and ignored until the 1960s. Recognition came decades later.
3. Charles Babbage (1791–1871)
-
Invention: Designed the first mechanical computer (Analytical Engine).
-
Why Unrecognized: His machines were never built in his lifetime due to technical and financial limitations. His ideas were later recognized as foundational to modern computing.
4. Garrett Morgan (1877–1963)
-
Inventions: Three-position traffic signal, smoke hood (early gas mask).
-
Why Unrecognized: Faced racial discrimination since he was black, and often hired white actors to demonstrate his inventions to gain acceptance.
5. Johann Philipp Reis (1834–1874)
-
Invention: Early “telephone” prototype (“Reis Telephone”).
-
Why Unrecognized: His device was dismissed as a novelty. Bell later patented a more practical version, overshadowing Reis’s work.
6. John Kay (1704–c.1779)
-
Invention: Flying shuttle (revolutionized weaving).
-
Why Unrecognized: His invention sparked worker riots (Luddites), forcing him to flee England. He died in obscurity in France.
7. Granville T. Woods (1856–1910)
-
Inventions: Railway telegraph, electric roller coaster, and 50+ patents.
-
Why Unrecognized: He was black, so racism in the U.S. led to his work being overshadowed by contemporaries like Edison, though he sold patents to major companies.
8. Philo Farnsworth (1906–1971)
-
Invention: Fully electronic television.
-
Why Unrecognized: RCA (led by David Sarnoff) stole his patents after a legal battle. Farnsworth died embittered, though later acknowledged as TV’s true inventor.
9. Elisha Gray (1835–1901)
-
Invention: Telephone prototype (filed a patent hours after Bell).
-
Why Unrecognized: Lost the patent battle to Bell despite evidence of parallel development.
10. Alan Turing (1912–1954)
-
Invention: Conceptualized modern computing and artificial intelligence.
-
Why Unrecognized: His WWII codebreaking work was classified, and he was persecuted for his sexuality. Recognition grew posthumously.
11. Gustave Whitehead (1874–1927)
-
Claim: Allegedly flew a powered aircraft before the Wright Brothers (1901).
-
Why Unrecognized: Evidence remains disputed, and the Wrights’ 1903 flight is widely credited.
Numerous inventors who were ahead of their time have been ignored or even demonized during their lifetime. Their legacies remind us that recognition often hinges on societal context, not just ingenuity.
