NIKOLA TESLA, A GIANT OF A MAN.  HE WAS A NOBODY IN HIS HOMETOWN OF CROATIA (FORMER YUGOSLAVIA WHERE LATE 20TH CENTURY SAW RE-BIRTH OF HUMAN CONCENTRATION CAMPS).  UPON HIS ARRIVAL IN AMERICA IN 1884, USING HIS PATENT RIGHTS GUARANTEED UNDER THE U.S. CONSTITUTION, HE LIT UP THE WORLD THROUGH HIS INVENTION OF ALTERNATE-CURRENT ELECTRICITY.   BELOW: Guglielmo Marconi, disputed Italian inventor of what we know as radio.  Without authorization, and residing outside the more »

Those of you who are unmasked need to return to your towns and villages; the West as well as the Civilized World will not tolerate your conducts for long. For those of you hiding under masks, dire consequences await you and your disguises will not save you.

Centuries later, Persia arose from ashes and faced the Greeks’ imperial inheritor, the Roman Empire. And finally, the ancient world became a second time more »

Back in 1986 when work on restoration of the Statue of Liberty was being conducted, Ellis Island was going through a face lift as well . I recall reading a feature-article on the project when my eyes caught the part where one of the workers acknowledged that his grandparents had come to America, from Iran, through the Ellis Island.
