@Ouija1210 - in terms of known lasting legacy, hughes operated in this reality within the lies of frequency-control, ie - explosive tech, denial of already extant nazi ufo's and whatnot....

..tesla was from the era where the tech we coulda gone with instead got suppressed, so in a sense hughes was like filling in the gaps.

excuse my shit explanation, you'd need to read about montauk project stuff to know what i mean..

[Ouija1210]
