"We
know the man and his family who
lived in
this house that had special soil "hotspots" -- that
grew 100 pound watermelons and a few one-pound
potatoes," say the children of Troy
Cory-Stubblefield, "because he was our
great-grandfather, Nathan B.
Stubblefield."
The house that opened its doors to the world of
radio, 6
years before Marconi's dit dahs,
(1896) -- is
pictured above with Grandpa Nat, grandmother Ada,
and their other 6 children. Oliver, the father of
Troy, is the little boy standing front row left.
Placed in front of the family, is the first
permanent wireless telephone broadcasting
installation in the world, and a few of the photos
taken at his 1902 ship-to-shore demonstrations,
held in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.
Not only did grandpa Nat, as our father called him,
patent his grounded firewire RF induction coils
that created the virtual electromagnetic wave
antenna lying beneath the ground surrounding the
coils, (1898) -- but these same earth batteries
helped power his perpendicular antenna needed to
send voice through the atmosphere.
He had been transmitting voice and music from the
school house since 1892, -- utilizing the same
virtual antenna RF induction coil concept with his
perpendicular antennas attached to a grounded earth
RF coil. His own NBS mechanical telephone system,
Priscilla pointed out, was patented four years
prior, in 1888.
NBS was also one of the first men to form a
Wireless Telephone Company, and the first to file
and patent the invention as the Wireless Telephone
almost 97 years ago today, May 12,
1907.

I've
been thinking a lot about Grandpa Nat lately, not
only because of the anniversary of that hopeful day
in 1907, but because of the recent re-ascendancy of
regulatory missteps and the regulatory seizures of
property taken by our government's various
regulatory agencies, then more or less holding the
seized assets under lock and key, until a claim is
filed by the victim or his/her survivors.
It's the
regulatory agency's fiduciary duty and requirement
to pay the owner first for any seized property,
before selling it to the general public. In a
recent Florida Holocaust case, the U.S.
Government's, statue of limitation defense was
overruled, and the U.S., was required to pay the
victims and/or their survivors of stolen art
objects, an amount that exceeded 25.5 million
USdollars. Also - Click to see Swiss Banks Payback
Jewish Clients from 1.25 billion to Holocaust

Stubblefield.
Although Grandpa Nat wasn't a victim of the
holocaust, he was a victim of those government
officials who were, and still are, in trust of his
patent device and the by-products of those patents
they kept under lock and key, until 1996. Grandpa
Nat, became a victim of national security, just
like the inventors and developers of the Atomic
Bomb and victims of the holocaust. "As for our
Grandpa Nat, he became a passionate "secret keeper"
-- he defended his commitments made to his nation,
which in turn, lead to his strange death one year
after one of his major wireless telephone patents
expired, in 1928," says Priscilla
Stubblefield. Part

It was just twenty-one years earlier, in 1907, just
seven years before the war in Europe started that
Grandpa Nat and his invention were the talk of the
town in Washington, D.C. He had just filed a patent
for his new wireless telephone device that could
hook into existing world-wide telegraph and
telephone landlines. In all aspects, my Grandpa's
wireless device and system, describes today's Wi-Fi
and the land-line Internet system. People will soon
be asking themselves, "Do the Americans want to
control the Internet like they did the wired
wireless global telecommunications, in 1907, or
lose the dotcom era to the .de, .cn or,
.frs.
As he was sitting at the desk of his old friend,
General Squier of the U.S. Army Signal Corps, in
1907, it was easy for the General to persuade
Grandpa Nat to make a deal with the U.S. Army for
their exclusive use and control of his NBS,
wireless telephone system. After all is said and
done, says Alden Stubblefield, the U.S. Government
owned the Army, did't it. It just added that extra
security NBS needed, to ensure his future wealth.
The General was at the height of his powers, in
charge of procuring telecommunication secrets that
would help defend the territorial awards gained
from the Spanish American War, and to keep in
constant voice contact with the building of the
Panama Canal, and preparing for the war that was
predicted to happen in Europe on or before
1914.
The General convinced Grandpa Nat that a few
patentable trade outs, here and there would only
enhance the potentials of what it would be like
working with the U.S. Army, as part of the Signal
Corps telecom team. Both the General and NBS had
close associations with Nikola Tesla, George.
Westinghouse, Fessenden, and Prof. Frederick
Collins, all part of the original 1902,
Philadelphia and Washington D.C. demonstrations.
The General positioned himself to have close
dealings with all of the members of the Smart-Daaf
Boys group, and acted as the intermediary for the
inventor, AT&T, GE, the Marconi Company and
Congress. Part

27 Week of 2005 / Reflections on Grandpa Nat, by
the great-grandchildren of N.B. Stubblefield are
the comments on the subject matter chosen by the
developers to be featured in the full length
Hollywood film project. The movie's working title
agreed to is: "Firewire and Watermelons".
The personal comments
in this 3 part weekly Celebrity Scene News report
were made during the months April, May and June
2005, in Universal City, Ca, to establish the
period before and after NBS filed his patent
application for the Wireless Telephone, 98 years
ago, on April 5, 1907. The film is based on the
1992 four-volume book set, "N.B. Stubblefield and
the Smart-Daaf Boys, written by Troy
