6,000 Patents Hidden By The Government | U.S. Invention Secrecy Act

Short video: https://octade.net/urls/6000_patents.html

In 1998, Stanley Meyer claimed to invent a car that ran on water. Days later, he was dead—and his invention disappeared. But Meyer wasn't the only one. There’s a federal law, still active today, that allows the U.S. government to classify and bury private inventions deemed a “threat.” It's called the Invention Secrecy Act—and it's already been used over 6,000 times.

From Nikola Tesla’s wireless energy to Townsend Brown’s anti-gravity tech to Joseph Papp’s engine that ran on noble gases, history is littered with breakthrough inventors who vanished into obscurity... and whose technologies never made it to the public.

This episode uncovers the case studies, the hidden power of secrecy orders, and the chilling question: What else have they buried?

With the new #Trump-#Administration, more and more american #Cloud-#Users will search for european Cloud-#Solutions for advanced #Security-#Features, because they no more trust american #BigTech-#Cloudstorage like #Google or #Microsoft or #Amazon. We all see, how #Musk and his #GoonSquad inspect and infiltrate the Payment-System (luckily stopped at the Moment). At any given Time, they could try this with the Cloudstorage. #Nondisclosure-#Gagorders could make this easier.

Since #GagOrders don't work on Trump,
here's a suggestion.

Looks pretty good, but, imho, #HouseArrest is by far too good for a #Man, who constantly disrespected the #Court, the #Judge, the #GagOrders and the #Jurors in an ever offending #Way.
But we'll see, what brave #Judge #JuanMerchan will #decide in #July.

#GagOrders #TrumpTrials In some cases like Trump’s, the defendant’s speech is restricted and violations can lead to fines and possibly a short imprisonment as Merchan pointed out. Sometimes despite warning defendants and/or their lawyers will violate the gag order. This will lead to another Order to Show Cause hearing. You’ll see that on Thursday when Merchan returns to the DA’s motion from last week. Repeated violations can lead to incarceration. 4/5
