The FBI and the Missing Tesla Papers Page 462

ported on (see below), he saw no military threat with regards to the contents therein.

3. Deception: in order to protect the real papers.

4. Stupidity: as I have clearly shown, Tesla was involved in laser-like inventions since the 1890's, and his mention of various "teleforce" weaponry date many years earlier than 1933, the ten year period mentioned by Trump as the reason he did not investigate the New Yorker trunks. How Trump could not investigate their contents is quite beyond my understanding.

5. The time frame appears inadequate, i.e., to record, read through and research 80 trunks worth of information in two days is really quite unlikely.

From a letter from the FBI files dated 4/17/1950, it appears that agents interviewed the owner of the Manhattan Storage Warehouse and the man in charge of the Tesla estate which was stored in rooms 5J and 5L. This custodian, whose name is illegible in the report and shall be called Mlk,

could recall only one occasion in early 1943 when an examination was made of the Tesla effects. He stated that at that time numerous photographs were taken by the examiners. His description of the equipment used would tend to show that a microfilm reproduction was made of [ ? ] of the papers of the deceased scientist. [Mlk] added that several of the group making the examination wore U. S. Navy uniforms.... According to him no other instance of microfilming the records...has taken place since that time.

The memorandum added that during that time, Kosanovich made no attempt to gain access to the warehouse.

There is no way to determine whether this memorandum is accurate. Were actual papers removed and hidden by factions of the U. S. government? Was the custodian unaware of other instances of infiltration of the warehouse, perhaps at various times when he was not there (such as on Sundays or late at night)?

And again, why would Trump make such a half-hearted effort to investigate the work of one of the greatest inventors of all times? I find it hard to believe that he did justice to his orders; or the Trump report (and, perhaps, other documents) released to me contain disinformation so as to protect the actual secret Tesla weaponry papers.
