Right, and among them are more[0] patents held by the US Navy for high-temperature superconductors and "high frequency gravity wave generators." It's clear he has at least one patron within the DoD; it's a shame that the technical oversight over this program is so credulous.

Unless they’re in on the joke and the goal is to fool foreign governments into chasing down pseudoscientific rabbit holes.

far more likely it's a grift (e.g. to the stars academy, remote viewing companies like SRI Int'l in the 60s-80s, etc)
