What did it for me, Mike, were the references to the
Illuminati's role in suppressing Tesla's technology. This is a
classic delusion more typical of schizophrenia than of serious
thinking.

Combine that with the tampering of Maxwell's Equation (!!), the
Nazis' flying saucer program and the 24, nuclear-armed Nazi
submarines that scuttled themselves, and you begin to see a
pattern of serious delusion. Either that, or Tim Matthews
drained a case of bad Gripple or overdosed on meth.

Seriously, if you've ever had a _long_ conversation with a
paranoid schizophrenic or two, they can tell intriguing stories
of the most complex and detailed conspiracies. Depending on the
sophistication of the deluded person, you can buy into their
tale -- until you hit a logical roadblock that shakes you out of
your credulity.

I once met a guy in the Los Angeles area who was convinced his
suburban neighborhood had been taken over by illicit drug
manufacturers, and the police were in on it. I took copious
notes over a period of three or four meetings before he took me
for a drive to show me the suspect homes. Finally, he took me
close to one home and asked, "Can you smell it? That's the drugs
being cooked." I sniffed and smelled the aroma of orange
blossoms. Looking up, I pointed out an orange tree in bloom a
few feet from the "suspect's" home.

The bottom line? That fellow was a sincere but deluded crank.
Yet he couldn't hold a candle to the cosmic delusions of William
Lyne. Don't be taken in by one or two logical possibilities --
Tesla's inventions are the source of earthly UFOs -- and a
seductive premise. Look at the overall structure of the fable --
which is completely bonkers, as Bruce Maccabee so accurately
pointed out.

Respectfully,

Pat McCartney
