| In 1935 Frederick McKinley Jones (of the portable air | |
| conditioning unit) invented the first refrigerated truck. He | |
| kept tinkering at his innovation, eventually developing a highly | |
| successful automatic refrigeration system for long-haul | |
| carriers. Prior to Jones' invention, many people were primarily | |
| limited to eating foods grown locally, because perishable goods | |
| could not be efficiently transported over longer | |
| distances.[/color] [/quote] | |

| Dear reader, did you know that many of the ideas made infamous | |
| by Nazi Germany were being taught in Wilhelmine German academia | |
| in 1910? These included Lebensraum (�living space�) and | |
| Rassenhygiene (racial hygiene) , and the idea that | |
| [size=12pt]handicapped people were worth less than animals. | |

| fittest. [img width=128 | |
| height=076] | |
| http://i1.wp.com/gas2.org/files/2013/05/stupid.png[/img] | |
| And a few years before 1910 a TRUE BELIEVER in YOU KNOW WHAT | |
| applied Darwin to the Hereros of Africa. The architect of this | |
| mass murder�65,000 of the 80,000 Hereros, Lieutenant-General | |
| Lothar von Trotha (1848�1920) was a virulent white supremacist | |
| who believed in �cleansing� the allegedly less fit. | |
| Because 80% of the Hereros were killed, this is regarded by | |
| historians as the worst genocide in the 20th century. Yet, | |
| you've probably never heard of this "water under the bridge". | |
| GUESS WHY? ;) | |
| A lot that was later (in the NAZI Third Reich) done to the | |
| German "misfits" and later the Jews was PRACTICED first on the | |
| Hereros. Some were killed quickly and some SLOWLY with the | |
| "innovative" introduction of CONCENTRATION CAMPS and medical | |
| experimentation including shipping the skulls of starved to | |
| death Hereros to BIOLOGISTS AND ANTHROPOLOGISTS in Germany for " | |
| evolutionary study". Anything for the advancement of science, | |

| Do you understand WHY they eschew welfare and helping the poor | |

| Do you FNALLY understand that the LINK to their RELIGION (Social | |

| Darwinism and World War One | |
| [quote][color=maroon]The evolutionary ideas of Charles Darwin | |
| (1809�1882) destructively influenced many of the Western world�s | |
| leaders in the early 20th century. In particular, intellectuals | |
| in Germany were among the earliest to embrace Darwinism | |
| enthusiastically, and to apply its concept of the survival of | |
| the fittest to human society. That is, they applied the subtitle | |
| of On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or | |
| the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life | |
| (1859). The most infamous result of this was the Holocaust,1 but | |
| social Darwinism was also a major influence in the events | |
| leading up to World War One. | |
| In the decades leading up to World War One, intellectuals | |
| embraced Darwinism and its ethical implications as a welcome | |
| alternative to Christian belief and ethics. Ernst Haeckel | |
| (1834�1919), the most famous German Darwinist of the time, and | |
| notorious forger of embryo diagrams,2 believed that evolution | |
| would �bring forth a complete revolution in the entire world | |
| view of humanity.�3 He argued that Darwinism required the | |
| abandonment of Christian morals. | |
| Until the advent of Darwinism, the sanctity of human life was | |
| taken for granted in European law and thought. But many German | |
| intellectuals began to argue that some had a greater right to | |
| life than others, namely, those who are deemed more valuable to | |
| society. This inequality was mainly based on race, but the | |
| Darwinists argued that there were inferior individuals within a | |
| race as well. For instance, zoologist and politician Karl Vogt | |
| (1817�1895) argued that a mentally handicapped child was closer | |
| in value to an ape than to his own parents.4 It should thus not | |
| be surprising that the world�s first eugenics5 society was | |
| founded in Germany, promoting the concept founded by Darwin�s | |
| cousin Francis Galton (1822�1911).6 | |
| While the belief in German superiority led the Nazis to | |
| exterminate �undesirable� individuals, during WW1 German | |
| Darwinists used the same idea to justify war on states which | |
| they deemed inferior. | |
| German social Darwinists were enamoured with the vision of the | |
| �master race�, which in their mind was the Nordic or Germanic | |
| race. Eugenicist Alfred Ploetz (1860�1940) coined the term | |
| �racial hygiene� (Rassenhygiene), and later welcomed the Nazis | |
| as the ones who would put this into practice. While the belief | |
| in German superiority led the Nazis to exterminate �undesirable� | |
| individuals, during WW1 German Darwinists used the same idea to | |
| justify war on states which they deemed inferior. They believed | |
| that the destiny of the master race was to dominate or eliminate | |
| �inferior� races, and the most obvious way to accomplish this | |
| was through war. In their view, all races and states were in | |
| competition for survival, and those who would not wage war would | |
| perish.7 In other words �war is inevitable and peace is merely | |
| an armistice in the continuous battle between races and groups | |
| for survival.�8 | |
| The concept of Lebensraum or �living space� was one of the | |
| justifications for the Germans in both World Wars to take over | |
| their neighbouring countries. While Germany was not actually | |
| overcrowded, they believed that since one side or the other was | |
| always advancing, �without war, inferior or decaying races would | |
| easily choke the growth of healthy budding elements, and a | |
| universal decadence would follow.�9 Max Weber emphasized this | |
| racial competition: | |
| �Our descendants will not hold us responsible primarily for the | |
| kind of economic organization that we pass on to them, but | |
| rather for the extent of elbow-room [Ellbogenraum], that we | |
| obtain through struggle and leave behind�10 | |
| Because of the view of war as an evolutionary instrument, the | |
| German leaders regarded war as a desirable option, even though | |
| they could not be sure of a victory. | |
| Interestingly, German Darwinists were divided about whether war | |
| was beneficial for the master race. Some were pacifists, | |
| including Haeckel, because they believed that war would kill off | |
| mainly the best members of the master race, but anthropologist | |
| Otto Ammon (1842�1916) believed that war was the only way to | |
| test which nation was stronger and to grant victory to the | |
| fittest opponent.11 Of course, there was the problem of | |
| undesirable individuals in the German population as well; Ploetz | |
| suggested sending them to the front lines so they would be | |
| killed before those who were deemed to be more fit.12 | |
| Because of this view of war as an evolutionary instrument, the | |
| German leaders regarded war as a desirable option, even though | |
| they could not be sure of a victory. There was also a fatalistic | |
| element; they believed that it was their destiny and that they | |
| were fulfilling their �preordained role in the development of | |
| the world.�13 | |
| Some argue that because Darwin did not directly apply the | |
| principles of social Darwinism, the term, and its connection to | |
| evolutionary thought, is invalid. But Darwin himself said that | |
| killing in the animal kingdom was a way for evolution to | |
| progress: | |
| �It may be difficult, but we ought to admire the savage | |
| instinctive hatred of the queen-bee, which urges her to | |
| instantly destroy the young queens her daughters as soon as | |
| born, or to perish herself in the combat; for undoubtedly this | |
| is for the good of the community; and maternal love and maternal | |
| hatred, though the latter fortunately is most rare, is all the | |
| same to the inexorable principle of natural selection.�14 | |
| Darwin simply was reluctant to apply this principle to humans, | |
| but the German social Darwinists did not share his | |
| disinclination. While there were other factors that caused World | |
| War 1, the German leadership�s universal belief in social | |
| Darwinism and its anti-Christian ethical system justified their | |
| militarism and made it into a moral good[/color][/quote]. | |

| African American Inventors IGNORED BY Modern RACIST WHITEY | |
| [/quote] | |
| Nice list... let me ask a loaded question, who invented the | |
| light bulb? Not the first electric light, but the modern, | |
| screw-in bulb that dominated lighting for over a century. | |
| [/quote] | |
| JD, | |
| Please define "nice list" for me. Does that mean you didn't know | |
| and have incorporated said knowledge in your memory banks so | |
| that you appreciate more the contribution of people of color to | |
| your comfort and will resolve to jump on any asshole that wants | |
| to mock them as being deserving of their routine shafting by our | |
| sick society? | |
| If not, and you feel you have always been objective about their | |
| unfortunate circumstances, then don't bother with trivia | |
| questions about who invented what. During the cold war, the | |
| Russians came up with a lot of "propaganda" saying most of the | |
| key inventions Americans assume were invented HERE were, in | |
| fact, NOT invented here OR by Americans (i.e. WHITEY European | |
| immigrants ;D). | |
| Of course our media mocked the Russians by saying THEY were | |
| claiming to have invented everything from the flush toilet to | |
| the airplane. It turns out that, over all, the Russians WERE | |
| TELLING THE TRUTH (For those who challenge that, school is out. | |
| As Mking ;D says, "feel free to engage in your fantasies if | |
| you wish"). | |
| WE were the ones being propagandized by clever fucks who write | |
| our history books and run our media. Sure, the truth is out | |
| there. But it 's So-o-o-o much more comfortable to GROUPTHINK | |
| all the S CUBED USA HYPE we were given since we were knee high | |
| to a grasshopper. | |
| It's even campy to act huffy, arrogant and amused by any claim | |
| that the main export of the USA is S CUBED mendacity in the form | |
| of advertising, propaganda and doubletalk and bombs in the | |
| service of profit over planet and we are about as objective | |
| about people of color as we are on intelligence comparisons | |
| between our children and theirs. | |
| Our government is (and has been for a LONG TIME) a fossil fuel | |
| oligarchy. That is the reason our patent "laws" make any fucking | |
| thing that challenges that hierarchy instantly and legally a | |
| SECRET patent the government will not allow available to the | |
| public. It's ALL ABOUT controlling the energy spigot AND who | |
| lives where. Our patent laws are JOKE. But they keep the evil | |
| fucks in power. | |
| What does that have to do with Blacky and inventions? | |
| EVERYTHING! The Fossil Fuel Oligarchy is RUN by Racist profit | |
| over planet whitey! You never noticed? WHY do you think ALL the | |
| most polluted neighborhoods and "low cost real estate" areas of | |
| this country just HAPPEN to be downstream of toxic coal or | |
| chemical or whatever (insert whitey industry here ;D)? | |
| Do you think that's a COINCIDENCE? Do you think those minorites | |
| just don't know how to prudently pick the place they live? Do | |
| you think that, MAYBE, BEFORE those polluting facilities were | |
| put up next to browny and blacky, the power companies KNEW the | |
| shit they were going to be putting out and STRATEGICALLY made | |
| SURE to locate their power plants so the majority of WHITEYS | |
| would applaud all this ENERGY for our "advanced" industrial | |
| society and be willing to be MILKED 24/7 by the upper crust | |
| WHITEYS that laugh all the way to the bank? | |
| Conspiracy theory or PRUDENT WHITEY PREDATORY CAPITALIST | |
| PREPLANNING? The later, of course. They just "Do what they DO". | |
| :evil4: | |
| And NOW poor and middle class whitey is FINALLY staring to GET | |
| IT on climate and pollution because the predatory capitalist | |
| SEWERS are backing up all over the planet. But Blacky and Browny | |
| has LONG experience with local FUCKED UP POLLUTING CLIMATE | |
| CHANGE as a result of the profit over plant modus operandi. | |

| This is such a GIANT elephant in the PROPAGANDISED WHITEY room | |
| that it's hard to know where to begin. JD, I suggest you perform | |
| a cursory study of power plant siting by utilities in this | |
| country for the last 100 years or so. While you are at it, | |
| study the patent "laws". And thirdly, ask yourself WHY | |
| minorities who had the same or greater knowledge of farming and | |
| animal husbandry after the Civil War were excluded from the | |
| Homestead Act; a PATTERN that repeated itself all the way up to | |
| the PRESENT with "race clauses" (or doubletalk that equates to | |
| the same fucking thing!) on real estate purchases (Don't bother | |
| with the cops and our criminal "justice" system. They don't even | |
| hide how prejudiced they are any longer.). | |
| If you want to have some REAL fun, check out the percentage of | |
| income that minorities pay in all forms of taxes versus whitey. | |
| Boring, I know. | |
| http://www.desismileys.com/smileys/desismileys_6961.gifhttp://www.pic4ever.com/… | |
| As to your original question of who invented the first light | |
| bulb, are you aware that the very question is a non sequitur? | |
| http://www.coh2.org/images/Smileys/huhsign.gif | |
| The inventors that are ALLOWED to successfully patent an | |
| invention in our society RARELY make money off of it. It's TPTB | |
| that rake in the cash. And when the inventor happens to be the | |
| WRONG COLOR, they sorta get "missed" in the history books for | |
| whitey AND blacky and browny. | |
| All inventions are FILTERED for the effects on the fossil fuel | |
| oligarchy BEFORE they are approved. The bullshitised history | |
| books are just the final step in this corrupt process that | |
| leaves minorities with the short end of the stick. | |
| Motorized aircraft were invented in Brazil simultaneously (and | |
| without correspondence from the Wrong Brothers!) to the Wright | |
| brothers' successful effort at Kitty Hawk. Bill Gates did not | |
| invent windows software. He stole it. It's the American way. | |
| Consider all the | |
| http://www.pic4ever.com/images/19.gif | |
| given to | |
| those who sacrificed for us in wars 24/7 in this country. NOW | |
| consider how racist whiteys ANYWHERE in our country (NOT just | |
| the South!) would have GREAT DIFFICULTY clinging to their racism | |
| when they are being educated on our history if they learned the | |
| TRUTH that their DADDY made it through WWII because a BLACK | |
| inventor came up with "bean soup" for fires that water could not | |
| extinguish. | |
| I GUARANTEE YOU, JD, that if Henry Ford or Thomas Edison had | |
| invented BEAN SOUP, we would HEAR ABOUT IT AND READ ABOUT until | |
| it was drilled into our heads so we would NEVER FORGET such a | |
| great (whitey, of course!) LIFE SAVING INVENTION by a GENIUS | |
| INVENTOR. | |
| But we don't. And all you can say is, "nice list". Are we | |
| communicating, JD? We aren't? Hyperbole, you say? QUICK! WHO | |
| invented "Bean Soup"? NO FAIR LOOKING IT UP! ;D | |

| carried away was of the noble-looking Herero people. Their | |
| women wear colourful, voluminous Victorian-style dresses and | |
| hats (see p. 55), and the men wear uniforms on ceremonial | |
| occasions. How terribly sad it was to learn that 100 years ago, | |
| their great-grandparents had been the victims of the first | |
| genocide of the 20th century. | |
| During the colonial land-grab of African countries by European | |
| nations after the 1884�85 Berlin Conference,2 Germany annexed | |
| Namibia, then known as South-West Africa. German settlers | |
| quickly ran roughshod over the historical rights and claims of | |
| the Herero tribal inhabitants, and for the next 20 years | |
| plundered their lands, houses and livestock. | |
| Of this period, the Governor, Theodor Leutwein, wrote that the | |
| German settlers had an �inborn feeling of belonging to a | |
| superior race�.3 Thus racism was rife. The Herero were | |
| regularly referred to as �baboons�; the men were commonly beaten | |
| to death for minor infringements, and the women were made sex | |
| slaves by the soldiers and settlers. | |
| Uprising | |
| http://image.ohmynews.com/down/images/1/internews_180988_1[227456].jpg | |
| Lieutenant-General Lothar von Trotha | |
| Lieutenant-General Lothar von Trotha�s beliefs of racial | |
| superiority led him to contemptuously state: �I wipe out | |
| rebellious tribes with streams of blood and streams of money. | |
| Only following this cleansing can something new emerge�. And �� | |
| I find it appropriate that the [Herero] nation perishes instead | |
| of infecting our soldiers�. | |
| In these circumstances, it is hardly surprising that an uprising | |
| occurred. On 12 January 1904, fighting broke out between Herero | |
| tribesmen and the settlers, in the town of Okahandja, where | |
| there was a German fort. | |
| The response of the Berlin government to this insurrection by a | |
| colonized people who had dared to resist the might of the German | |
| nation was fast and ruthless. Kaiser Wilhelm II dispatched | |
| 14,000 troops to the region under the command of | |
| Lieutenant-General Lothar von Trotha. Von Trotha was renowned | |
| for the ruthless efficiency with which he had helped to suppress | |
| the Boxer Rebellion in China in 1900, and to quash resistance to | |
| his nation�s occupation of German East Africa (today�s Rwanda, | |
| Burundi and Tanzania). | |
| Von Trotha�s written goal was: �I believe that the [Herero] | |
| nation as such should be exterminated.�4 He stated: �The | |
| exercise of violence and crass terrorism and even with | |
| gruesomeness was and is my policy. I destroy the African tribes | |
| with streams of blood and streams of money. Only following this | |
| cleansing can something new emerge, which will remain.�5 | |
| That the German settlers and a high-ranking officer like General | |
| von Trotha would hold to these �superior race�, | |
| �survival-of-the-fittest-through-�cleansing�-of-the-weakest� | |
| views is hardly surprising. Darwin�s On the Origin of Species | |
| (which is subtitled By Means of Natural Selection or the | |
| Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life) had | |
| been translated into German in 1875, and his evolutionary | |
| theories had for decades been avidly promoted to all and sundry | |
| by the popular books and theatrical presentations of Ernst | |
| Haeckel.6 The German nation had also been subjected for many | |
| years to the �God-is-dead� atheism of Nietzsche.7 | |
| This, too, was a consequence of Darwin�ian thought. Nietzsche | |
| believed that Dar�win�ian evolution would eventually produce the | |
| �bermensch, �a superman whose distance from the ordinary man was | |
| greater than the distance between man and ape�.8 Then a | |
| �super-race� of such beings would impose its will on the weak | |
| and the worthless. | |
| Decades later, Hitler would proclaim the same Darwinist | |
| superiority views to justify his own subjugation of the �lesser� | |
| peoples of Europe.9 | |
| In the light of this attitude of racial superiority, it is | |
| interesting to compare probably the two most famous documents to | |
| come out of the Herero war. In his infamous Vernichtungsbefehl | |
| (annihilation order), von Trotha stated: �[E]very Herero, with | |
| or without a gun, with or without cattle, will be shot. I will | |
| no longer accept women and children, I will drive them back to | |
| their people or I will let them be shot at.�10 | |
| The response of the �lesser� people | |
| In contrast, a letter of Herero chief Samuel Maharero to his | |
| people shortly after the outbreak of war11 states that | |
| Englishmen, Boers, missionaries and people of other tribes were | |
| not to be harmed.12 History has shown that both instructions | |
| were diligently carried out. :emthup: | |
| In a decisive battle at Hamakari, near Waterberg, on 11 August | |
| 1904, von Trotha�s troops surrounded the Herero tribespeople on | |
| three sides and brutally defeated them. In a cynical ploy, he | |
| left open only the way into the Omaheke area of the Kalahari | |
| Desert. The battle plan was that those who escaped the German | |
| bullets should die of thirst. Waterholes for 150 miles (240 km) | |
| around the desert were either patrolled or poisoned, and those | |
| Herero who came crawling out of the Omaheke, desperate for | |
| water, were bayoneted. This left the Herero �with but one | |
| option: to cross the desert into Botswana [then called | |
| Bechuanaland], in reality a march to death. This, indeed, is | |
| how the majority of the Herero perished.�13 | |
| Due to missionary pressure and a growing shortage of labour in | |
| the colony, von Trotha�s extermination cam�paign was eventually | |
| stopped by Berlin, and the surviving Herero people were put into | |
| concentration camps. | |
| http://www.executedtoday.com/images/Herero_genocide_survivors.jpg | |
| �Put to slave labor, overworked, hungry, and exposed to | |
| diseases such as typhoid and smallpox, more Herero men perished | |
| in these camps. Herero women, meanwhile, were turned into sex | |
| slaves.�14 | |
| The result of this policy was that from 1904 to 1908 the Herero | |
| were reduced �from a tribe of 80,000 persons to 15,000 starving | |
| refugees.�15 | |
| Following the war, all Herero persons over the age of seven were | |
| forced to wear a metal disc around their necks with their | |
| registration number, designating them as free labour. This was | |
| an ominous foretaste of the Jewish Holocaust star years later, | |
| when Hitler similarly enslaved those he considered to be members | |
| of inferior races. | |
| Genocide and �race branding� | |
| There are powerful links between the Herero genocide, the | |
| Holocaust 40 years later, and the Rwandan genocide of the | |
| 1990s.16 | |
| 1.Francis Galton, the anti-Christian cousin of Charles Darwin, | |
| visited South-West Africa in the early 1850s. He went on to | |
| develop his theory of eugenics, a term he coined in 1883. This | |
| pseudo-science helped promote the racial superiority views which | |
| played such a major role in the fate of the Herero people years | |
| later. | |

| Herr Dok�tor Eugen Fischer hard at "evolutionary studies" work! | |
| 2.Making his rounds of the Herero concentration camps was Herr | |
| Dok�tor Eugen Fischer. It was here that Fischer did his first | |
| �medical� experiments on race, genetics and eugenics, using as | |
| his guinea pigs both Herero full-bloods and the mulatto | |
| offspring of Herero women and German men. Under his | |
| supervision, the preserved bodies and severed heads of Herero | |
| who had been hanged were sent to Germany for dissection.4 | |

| Anything for the advancement of EVOLUTIONARY science, eh? | |
| Fischer went on to become the head of the Kaiser Wilhelm | |
| Institute of Anthropology, Human Heredity and Eugenics. He | |
| co-authored the book The Principles of Human Heredity and Race | |
| Hygiene,17 which became the standard textbook in Germany on this | |
| subject. Hitler cited it in his Mein Kampf [My Struggle] , | |
| which became the basis for the destruction of millions of people | |
| in his own pursuit of �racial purity�. | |
| Hitler appointed Fischer as rector of the University of Berlin | |
| in 1933, where he taught medicine to Nazi doctors. Fischer is | |
| sometimes referred to as the father of modern genetics. One of | |
| his prominent pupils was Josef Mengele, the so-called �Angel of | |
| Death�, who went on to repeat his teacher�s cruel experiments on | |
| Jewish children, and directed the operation of the gas chambers | |
| at Auschwitz. | |

| Lewis Latimer - blackinventor.com | |
| Lewis Latimer is considered one of the 10 most important Black | |
| inventors of all time, not only for the sheer number of | |
| inventions created and patents secured but also for the | |
| magnitude of importance for his most famous discovery. Latimer | |
| was born on September 4, 1848 in Chelsea, Massachusetts. His | |
| parents were George and Rebecca Latimer, both runaway slaves who | |
| migrated to Massachusetts in 1842 from Virginia. George Latimer | |
| was captured by his slave owner, who was determined to take him | |
| back to Virginia. His situation gained great notoriety, even | |
| reaching the Massachusetts Supreme Court. Eventually George was | |
| purchased by abolition supporters who set him free. | |
| Lewis served in the United States Navy for the Union during the | |
| Civil War, assigned to the U.S.S. Massasoit gunboat and received | |
| an honorable discharge on July 3, 1865. After his discharge he | |
| sought employment throughout Boston, Massachusetts and | |
| eventually gained a position as an office boy with a patent law | |
| firm, Crosby and Gould earning $3.00 each week. After observing | |
| Latimer�s ability to sketch patent drawings, he was eventually | |
| promoted to the position of head draftsman earning $20.00 a | |
| week. In addition to his newfound success, Latimer found | |
| additional happiness when he married Mary Wilson in November of | |
| 1873. | |
| In 1874, along with W.C. Brown, Latimer co-invented an improved | |
| of a train water closet, a bathroom compartment for railroad | |
| trains. Two years later, Latimer would play a part in one of the | |
| world�s most important inventions. | |
| In 1876, Latimer was sought out as a draftsman by a teacher for | |
| deaf children. The teacher had created a device and wanted Lewis | |
| to draft the drawing necessary for a patent application. The | |
| teacher was Alexander Graham Bell and the device was the | |
| telephone. Working late into the night, Latimer worked hard to | |
| finish the patent application, which was submitted on February | |
| 14, 1876, just hours before another application was submitted by | |
| Elisha Gray for a similar device. | |
| In 1880, after moving to Bridgeport, Connecticut, Latimer was | |
| hired as the assistant manager and draftsman for U.S. Electric | |
| Lighting Company owned by Hiram Maxim. Maxim was the chief rival | |
| to Thomas Edison, the man who invented the electric light bulb. | |
| The light was composed of a glass bulb which surrounded a carbon | |
| wire filament, generally made of bamboo, paper or thread. When | |
| the filament was burned inside of the bulb (which contained | |
| almost no air), it became so hot that it actually glowed. | |
| Thus by passing electricity into the bulb, Edison had been able | |
| to cause the glowing bright light to emanate within a room. | |
| Before this time most lighting was delivered either through | |
| candles or through gas lamps or kerosene lanterns. Maxim greatly | |
| desired to improve on Edison�s light bulb and focused on the | |
| main weakness of Edison�s bulb � their short life span | |
| (generally only a few days.) Latimer set out to make a longer | |
| lasting bulb. | |
| http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f2/Gluehlampe_1881_Maxim.… | |
| Latimer devised a way of encasing the filament within an | |
| cardboard envelope which prevented the carbon from breaking and | |
| thereby provided a much longer life to the bulb and hence made | |
| the bulbs less expensive and more efficient. This enabled | |
| electric lighting to be installed within homes and throughout | |
| streets. | |
| Latimer�s abilities in electric lighting became well known and | |
| soon he was sought after to continue to improve on incandescent | |
| lighting as well as arc lighting. Eventually, as more major | |
| cities began wiring their streets for electric lighting, Latimer | |
| was dispatched to lead the planning team. He helped to install | |
| the first electric plants in Philadelphia, New York City and | |
| Montreal and oversaw the installation of lighting in railroad | |
| stations, government building and major thoroughfares in Canada, | |
| New England and London. | |
| In 1890, Latimer, having been hired by Thomas Edison, began | |
| working in the legal department of Edison Electric Light | |
| Company, serving as the chief draftsman and patent expert. In | |
| this capacity he drafted drawings and documents related to | |
| Edison patents, inspected plants in search of infringers of | |
| Edison�s patents, conducted patent searches and testified in | |
| court proceeding on Edison�s behalf. Later that year wrote the | |
| worlds most thorough book on electric lighting, �Incandescent | |
| Electric Lighting: A Practical Description of the Edison | |
| System.� Lewis was named one of the charter members of the | |
| Edison pioneer, a distinguished group of people deemed | |
| responsible for creating the electrical industry. The Edison | |
| Electric Lighting would eventually evolve into what is now known | |
| as the General Electric Company. | |
| Lewis Latimer - blackinventor.com | |
| Latimer continued to display his creative talents over then next | |
| several years. In 1894 he created a safety elevator, a vast | |
| improvement on existing elevators. He next received a patent for | |
| Locking Racks for Hats, Coats, and Umbrellas. The device was | |
| used in restaurants, hotels and office buildings, holding items | |
| securely and allowing owners of items to keep the from getting | |
| misplaced or accidentally taken by others. He next created a | |
| improved version of a Book Supporter, used to keep books neatly | |
| arranged on shelves. | |
| Latimer next devised a method of making rooms more sanitary and | |
| climate controlled. He termed his device an Apparatus for | |
| Cooling and Disinfecting. The device worked wonders in | |
| hospitals, preventing dust and particles from circulating within | |
| patient rooms and public areas. | |
| Throughout the rest of his life, Latimer continued to try to | |
| devise ways of improving everyday living for the public, | |
| eventually working in efforts to improve the civil rights of | |
| Black citizens within the United States. He also painted | |
| portraits and wrote poetry and music for friends and family. | |
| Lewis Latimer died on December 11, 1928 and left behind a legacy | |
| of achievement and leadership that much of the world owes | |
| thanks. | |

| Einstein rescinded his German Citizenship when he was 17 so he | |
| could not be drafted. | |
| In 1945 he wrote Roosevelt that there would be dire consequences | |

| �Dear Professor Einstein� sheds new light on Cold War | |
| Albert Einstein and eight other prominent scientists, including | |
| OSU alumnus Linus Pauling, formed a committee in 1946 to warn | |
| the public about the dangers of nuclear holocaust. Thousands of | |
| ordinary Americans responded to his fundraising appeals with | |
| cash donations and heartfelt letters expressing their concerns | |
| at the dawn of the Atomic Age. (Amanda Cowan | Corvallis | |
| Gazette-Times) | |
| September 17, 2014 7:00 am � By Bennett Hall, Corvallis | |
| Gazette-Times | |
| 'Frankly, I am terrified' | |
| Dear Dr. Einstein: | |
| You can explore the �Dear Professor Einstein� exhibition online | |
| at bit.ly/1uzOxG2. It contains more than 3,000 letters and other | |
| documents related to the Emergency Committee of Atomic | |
| Scientists, organized by Albert Einstein in 1946 to combat the | |
| threat of nuclear war. | |
| It can be hard for anyone born since the collapse of the Soviet | |
| Union to comprehend, but the threat of nuclear holocaust seemed | |
| very real during the Cold War, looming over the collective | |
| consciousness like a psychic mushroom cloud. | |
| The possibility of global annihilation formed an ever-present | |
| backdrop to the entire post-World War II period, with the United | |
| States and the USSR staring each other down like a couple of | |
| Wild West gunslingers armed with ICBMs instead of six-shooters | |
| while the whole world waited to see who would flinch first. | |
| In 1946, a year after the destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki | |
| ended World War II and demonstrated the awesome power of the | |
| atom bomb, a group of distinguished American scientists led by | |
| Albert Einstein tried to rally public support to curb the danger | |
| of nuclear conflict. | |
| Now the discovery of a cache of long-lost documents is shedding | |
| new light on this dimly remembered chapter of Cold War history. | |
| �Dear Professor Einstein,� an online exhibition put together by | |
| the Special Collections and Archives Research Center at Oregon | |
| State University�s Valley Library, showcases thousands of | |
| letters from ordinary Americans to the Emergency Committee of | |
| Atomic Scientists. Many are written in a highly personal tone | |
| and addressed directly to Einstein in response to a widely | |
| distributed fundraising appeal bearing his signature. | |
| �There are very poignant letters from people all over the United | |
| States talking about how scared they are to be living in this | |
| new atomic age,� said Anne Bahde, who curated the exhibition. | |
| Bahde came across the letters � as well as meeting minutes, | |
| educational materials and other documents related to the | |
| Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists � while combing through | |
| OSU�s extensive collection of Linus Pauling�s personal papers. | |
| Pauling, an Oregon State alumnus, was one of the committee�s | |
| original nine members, and some of the ECAS files passed to him | |
| after Einstein�s death in 1955. | |
| Many of the letters came with cash contributions to help the | |
| committee spread the word about the dangers of atomic weapons. | |
| Some were as large as $10,000, but the vast majority were much | |
| smaller amounts � $10, $5, sometimes even less. | |
| http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-200714194256.bmp<br | |
| /> | |
| �The really moving ones are the offers to help. These are people | |
| who do not have any money, and all they can offer is service,� | |
| Bahde said. | |
| �One I just cried when I found,� she added. �It was (from) | |
| German Jewish refugees who were new to this country and said, | |
| �We have no money to give, but we�re happy to help in any way we | |
| can.�� | |
| http://www.createaforum.com/gallery/renewablerevolution/3-200714194256.bmp<br | |
| /> | |
| Others take a different tone, exhorting the famous scientist to | |
| do his best, advising him about possible solutions or taking him | |
| to task for his own contributions to nuclear weapons research. | |
| The rediscovered documents represent a treasure trove for | |
| researchers, with potential applications in a number of fields, | |
| from history to sociology, political science and peace studies. | |
| To maximize that potential, OSU is asking the public to help | |
| digitize the collection. | |
| Visitors to the online exhibition are invited to view images of | |
| the documents and transcribe their contents in a software | |
| program called Scripto. The transcriptions will be proofread and | |
| uploaded to a full-text database that can be analyzed by | |
| scholars using computer keyword searches to find related | |
| documents or identify trends. | |
| Larry Landis, the director of the Special Collections and | |
| Archives Research Center, said this kind of public participation | |
| is a growing trend among cultural institutions, though it�s | |
| something OSU hasn�t tried before. | |
| �It will be interesting to see for us how this public | |
| transcription crowdsourcing takes off,� he said. | |
| �We don�t have the manpower to undertake something like this.� | |
| The Emergency Committee of Atomic Scientists disbanded in 1951, | |
| in part because some members recoiled against Einstein�s calls | |
| for a world government. But its anti-war message continued to | |
| resonate, and some of the group�s founders carried on the | |
| campaign against nuclear weapons. | |
| For Pauling it became a lifelong crusade, and in 1962 he was | |
| awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his anti-nuclear activism. | |
| Jake Hamblin, an associate professor of history at OSU who | |
| specializes in the Cold War period, says �Dear Professor | |
| Einstein� provides a valuable refresher course on an episode | |
| from the nation�s past that is easily overlooked today. | |
| �You get a really strong sense of the hopes and fears and the | |
| time period � it really jumps out at you,� he said. | |
| �What�s interesting about that time is that Americans were | |
| looking to scientists not just for expertise but also for moral | |
| leadership.� | |
| It�s also a valuable reminder that the possibility of nuclear | |
| conflict has never fully disappeared, with rogue states and | |
| terrorist organizations replacing the old Cold War superpowers | |
| as the most likely potential antagonists. | |
| �We are still confronted with nuclear weapons today .... it�s an | |
| issue we still haven�t solved,� Hamblin said. | |
| �We are still dealing with the fallout from the bomb.� :( | |

| The FBI's secret war against Albert Einstein >:( | |
| [quote]Einstein, on Hitler's hit list as a brilliant Jewish | |
| scientist and anti-Nazi, arrived in the US just 18 days before | |
| the Nazis seized power but he almost didn't make it as the State | |
| Department attempted to block his visa :o based on allegations | |
| from a US far-right group that Einstein was a "communist". This | |
| was the first of many pro-Nazi, anti-Semitic "sources" which fed | |
| the FBI with invented tales of Einstein's "communism". | |
| Fearing international ridicule for barring the Nobel Prize | |
| winner, the State Department relented but, along with the FBI, | |
| War Department and Immigration and Naturalization Service, | |
| continued to keep tabs on the draft-dodger and pacifist who | |
| lectured by day on relativity and in the evening urged civil | |
| disobedience against military service. | |
| Hoover was soon on the case of this dangerous radical. Before | |
| the Nazis' threat as rival imperialists outweighed their status | |
| as useful anti-communists, the FBI and the Gestapo had worked | |
| together in the hunt for communists. Einstein's file grew with | |
| each German he sponsored for refugee status for whom the Gestapo | |
| had a "record" of "communist sympathies". | |
| Einstein's support for the Lincoln Brigade, the US Communist | |
| Party-led American volunteer soldiers against the fascist Franco | |
| in the Spanish Civil War, was further "evidence" of Einstein's | |
| undesirablity to Hoover who had a deep empathy with the | |
| anti-Semitic and fascist off-shoots of the far-right. | |
| @BODY TEXT SPA = When Einstein put aside his pacifism to support | |
| the Allied war effort against the fascist juggernaut and signed | |
| a letter in 1939 successfully urging President Franklin | |
| Roosevelt to commit the US to building an atomic bomb to counter | |
| Nazi Germany's nuclear bomb project, the FBI sprung into action. | |
| Einstein was ruled off the US bomb project after US Army | |
| Counter-Intelligence Corps, using the FBI for background checks | |
| of scientists, red-inked Einstein's name. | |
| Einstein was later to call his letter to the president his "one | |
| great mistake in my life" after the atomic bomb was used against | |
| Japan, a criminal act which Einstein saw as militarily | |
| unnecessary and politically motivated (to rush-end the Pacific | |
| war solely to intimidate the Soviet Union). | |
| Einstein joined the anti-nuclear movement, heading the Emergency | |
| Committee of Atomic Scientists, which the FBI saw as a threat to | |
| America's nuclear monopoly and imperialist reach and thus a | |
| "communist front" with Einstein a "big name", "innocent" | |
| sponsor. | |
| Einstein's anti-racism further inflamed Hoover. Twelve months | |
| after the end of the "war to save democracy", some 50 African | |
