Pre-Wilson = Post-Wilson. Deepstate forever.
In previous item on entertainment and science, I noted yet again the shift toward total Deepstate absorption of science that began in 1946 and accelerated around Sputnik.
Here's an interesting presage of the 1958 subsumption.
From 1913 Proceedings of IRE, a convention keynote triggered mainly by the use of radio to hear the Titanic.
This address was originally planned as a resume of the progress during 1912, but one topic has become the main subject to the exclusion of the resume. However, I wish to mention before proceeding that Lee de Forest has given us an excellent account of some notable long distance work and observatrions with an interesting theory which may help to overcome radio absorption.Hmm. DeForest gave us a THEORY. What's missing? DeForest also gave us the AUDION, which wasn't interesting to this THEORETICIAN. DeForest didn't understand the Audion theoretically; he just showed that it could be used to send and receive audio.
We frequently hear that the United Fruit Company has practically the best radio service. If this is true, it may indicate that the steamship companies would obtain better radio service if they bought their apparatus outright and hired their own operators and engineers.United Fruit was one of the main foundations of the Sherburne Hopkins proto-Deepstate, just before Wilson brought it into government and formalized it. Deepstate always has the best radio, the best everything.
There are at least 18 members of this Institute who are capable of designing and constructing far better apparatus than is commonly found on steamships today, and there are at least four companies that sell such apparatus. In favor of the method of obtaining apparatus through competitive bids, the fact may be stated that the US Army and Navy get superior apparatus by specifying what is wanted and then calling for bids. Radio communication is valuable to the public in general. It is particularly valuable to the ocean-going public, steamship companies, marine underwriters, newspapers, shippers, armies, navies and weather bureaus. For all this service the public probably pays in the end, but the most apparent payment is made by the steamship companies.What's missing? Entertainment. Music. Speech. Beauty. LOCAL radio stations using and cultivating LOCAL talent. What's present? Military + Shipping + Newspapers + Weather Bureau = Globalism. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS were already the pot of gold as seen by Big Electronics. The IRE was stuck in Marconi's mode of thinking, which simply turned the transatlantic telegraph cable into a transatlantic radio beam. In 1913 the UNOFFICIAL amateurs and tinkerers were already sending music and speech, using both Alexanderson alternators and DeForest audions.
