Don't know if you all know this, but here's what I received on another
mailing list concerning the Tesla society. Who is Dennis Lee?
Best,

The Dennis Lee operation now owns the Tesla Society. I personally have a
number of serious concerns about Dennis Lee, his claims and business
operations. They are documented at: http://www.phact.org/e/dennis.html
The first web page I mentioned gives the following acccount from Dennis
concerning the new society:
Dear Tesla Society Member or Creditor,
May 11, 1999
I would like to take this opportunity to communicate my intentions to
you in our recent purchase of the assets of the Tesla Society. It is my
belief that Nikola Tesla was the greatest scientist ever to grace
mankind with his presence. He was relatively unsung in his lifetime,
and, even now that we have lived another hundred years to see just how
incredible he really was, he has yet to gain the recognition his memory
so richly deserves. I am in awe of his greatness and respect his insight
more than I do any other human this side of Jesus Christ. I have funded
Tesla research in my own research lab for over four years now. His
brilliance never ceases to amaze me. Frankly, the Tesla Society was
offensive to me in that it seemed more bent on exploiting Tesla’s name
than on honoring his achievements and his memory, and encouraging
creativity.
We are developing an electric generator that we intend to put out on the
market this year and take advantage of the deregulation of power
production (the grid is not being deregulated as many think). We are
viewed as the illegitimate children of free energy research by many, but
we love the Guru as much as anyone. In his honor, we have chosen to call
our national free electricity project the International Tesla Electric
Company (ITEC). Naming it is anything but using his name for an
advantage. That is too "in your face" to be thought of as exploiting his
reputation. But we think it is time that Nikola Tesla receive at least
as much recognition as those who have spent the last hundred years
exploiting society in the name of Edison. In fact, we are dialoguing now
with the Edison Electric Institute to build 40 foot trailers that will
produce one megawatt of power to hook directly up to sub stations or
factories in time for the Y2K. Our free energy trailers will produce a
megawatt of power on wheels with absolutely no fuel costs. It will draw
a lot of attention to ITEC, especially if there are power failures that
necessitate a convoy of power on wheels. It is about time that Tesla got
recognized for his contributions to the electricity industry. We will do
all we can to make that name a household word in electricity and
science. Tesla trailers coming to major cities to prevent major power
failures could go a long way toward putting that name out front.
So, it is the International Tesla Electric Company (through Better
World Technologies) that has just bought the Tesla Society. We paid
$5,000 for all the assets of the society, including the name. Our
goal is to honor the memory of Nikola Tesla. As a creditor, you may
fail to see how paying about 5% of the debts of the company for all
of its assets honors Nikola Tesla. Whatever we paid goes to the
court. The assets are not worth more than that as an investment. We
know what happens to money paid for assets in a bankruptcy...the
lawyers divide it up among themselves. The creditors get nothing. Well,
now that we have given the vultures the carcass, and we have no LEGAL
obligation to any of the creditors (or to the court), we will announce
our VOLUNTARY intentions.
The International Tesla Electric Company shall finance the Tesla
Society. The goal will be to take part of our percentage of all the
income paid to ITEC from the sale of electricity nationwide and fund the
Tesla Society. When that income is established we will have the
management of the Tesla Society pay 100% of all the money owed to the
past creditors of the society at a prime plus 2% interest rate from the
time the debt(s) were incurred. Then all debts shall have been fully
retired to the honor of the memory of Nikola Tesla. The management team
shall also be instructed to arrange for at least two Tesla Conventions
annually. These conventions shall be free to the public and may run more
than a week. We have NO interest in exploiting the name of this great
man. Those who come shall merely pay their own hotel bills and expenses
and stay for whatever presentations they are interested in. ALL who have
creative theories, inventions, or constructive thoughts shall be allowed
and encouraged to speak whether or not they have published a paper (or
are scientifically trained enough to do so). Of course the speaker’s
past achievements and education shall be advertised. In the new Tesla
Society, NO ONE shall be have the society’s blessing to exploit the
ideas or inventions presented by others without their permission in the
manner that George Wiseman was allowed to in the past. Those who have
patents and proprietary rights shall be respected by anyone associated
with the new Tesla Society, and abusers of those rights will not be
allowed to participate in the functions. Any KNOWN CIA (or other
government) agents present at any of the conventions shall be pointed
out to those present and exposed to the general membership. Of course
they will also be asked to leave. Anyone who has a rumor to tell about
any of the speakers shall be identified with his rumor in the open, and
both he and the intended target will be given a reasonable opportunity
to offer a public accusation and a rebuttal. The idea here is to join
hands in brotherhood and common cause, and to act like seekers of truth.
We seek to advance true science and to halt the suppression of ideas and
innovation. What greater victim of that than Nikola Tesla?
We shall strive to set up a museum of suppressed technical advancements
especially in the free energy area. It shall be called the "The Tesla
Society’s Museum of Real Science". It will have whatever we can find of
Nikola Tesla’s writings and inventions (including those which have been
continued by followers). There will be as many things as we can find or
recreate from Keeley, Gray, Moray, Otis T. Karr, Tucker, Carini, Murray,
Yull Brown, and other creative people from whom we can find or donate
models, writings, and other representations of contributions that these
people tried to bring forth to make our world better. It will include
contemporary thinkers as well as those in our past who have struggled
against the suppression of free scientific thought. Applicants of
inventors to be entered into this museum shall be taken and evaluated by
committee, and ultimately voted on by the membership. The museum shall
be established and maintained mostly by the sales of electricity through
the International Tesla Electric Company. Books and other publications,
as well as audio and video tapes, shall be for sale, but only at
whatever the exact cost is to have them reproduced. Members shall pay
dues to cover all the costs of the club, and free functions shall be
hosted with any profits. We will strive to fund worthy research
projects, and give grants to deserving presenters. Hopefully, in this
manner, the Tesla Society shall serve as a way of us providing a small
token of appreciation for the many sacrifices of those who have been
willing to confront the many obstacles that face creative thinkers when
confronting a politically and economically driven scientific community
of self interest.
We are taking applications for those who believe that they could
direct such a club, and who feel they are qualified to be the
president, or serve on a directional board, of this organization.
The organization shall be owned and ultimately supervised by Better
World Technologies and I shall have final say. While there are many
people who think I am a "con artist" and overall really bad guy, I think
time, and God, will reveal my true intentions. I certainly will not be
hard to work with unless someone expects to set up the same Tesla
Society from the past. In that case, please do not bother to apply and
waste all our time. If you love Tesla and want to help make this a
better world for us all, please get beyond any pre impression you may
have of me from listening to rumors, and contact us. If you are on the
list of past creditors, then we probably already know of your claim. If
you think we do not have you down, contact us. If you had anything to do
with publishing or printing the Tesla magazines, please contact us
again. If you have any exhibits that you could redonate to the museum
please contact us. Let’s all work together to build a club that can
truly bring honor to real scientists. I hope you can get to really know
who we are and that our hearts are right. We believe that all creativity
comes from God and is revealed to a person as a blessing intended for
all mankind. That does not mean that the one chosen by God to present
and further it is to be forsaken. If you are an inventor and seeker of
truth, you will really love the new Tesla Society. We hope you will be
open to the possibilities. It truly is exciting.
Those who have paid for subscriptions and memberships will get them.
Those who ordered things that we do not have will get a credit toward
what we will have. We intend to work to build an organization that Tesla
would have been proud to have in his name. He deserves that! Amen?
With our Highest Regards for all those enlightened individuals who know
and love truth,
The Team at Better World Technologies.
P.S. If you think I (Dennis Lee) have done something to injure you or
another, why not write me about it and get my input rather than just
judging me? The new Tesla Society is not, nor is it ever intended to be
about Dennis Lee. I’m just another Tesla lover.
