The Occult Tesla Part 3
Tesla and his Nazi Friend… The Strangest Friendship
By Matthew Ehret
Throughout World War One, George Sylvester Viereck’s friendship with Nikola Tesla grew close and the two spent much time together with Viereck spending days on end at Tesla’s hotel (he lived in the penthouse of New York’s most exclusive hotels known as the Waldorf-Astoria from 1900-1919, followed by several five-star hotels until his death in 1943), and Tesla in turn would enjoy being wined and dined at Viereck’s home.
Throughout their long friendship, Tesla gave dozens of interviews to Viereck who became one of the most important popularizers of the Tesla myth passed down to current generations.
Tesla’s ‘Fragments of Olympian Gossip’— dedicated to Viereck (and Sir Isaac Newton), stands as the only known poem written by the great scientist. Whether his other poems were lost to fire as some experts assert without much evidence is unknown, however what is for certain is that Viereck represents a very strange source of inspiration for anyone, let alone a “noble” soul such as Tesla.
Despite Viereck’s occultism, support for eugenics and Nazism having become well known by the time Tesla wrote his poem in the late 1920s, the great scientist was strangely un-phased by any of those trifling matters, going so far as to describe Viereck as “the greatest poet of America”.
Viereck: Satanism in Poetry
It is true that Viereck was, for a time prior to the first world war, one of the more popular American poets whose extreme homo-erotic themes and macabre topics pushed the limits of “normalcy” beyond the breaking point.
Since poetry is a window into the soul, and Tesla is reputed to be among the most insightful minds of history, it is worth investigating what sort of poetic ideas someone like Viereck espoused to merit the title “greatest poet of America”:
“I love the splendor of decay, the foul beauty of corruption. What I hate is the inquisitive, cold, freezing rays of the sun. Day is nausea, day is dullness, day is prose. Night is beauty, love splendor, poetry, wine, scarlet, rape, vice and bliss. I love the night.”
In his Ballad on Sin, Viereck puts his theory into practice showcasing an homage to a ‘magical murder’ on an island which featured a sacrificial victim killed in the midst of having sex. Viereck celebrates none other than Emperors Tiberius and Caligula as well as Lucifer writing:
For only the love that flaunts in red
A shadow of bliss can save,
And here in the night, though life be sped,
Comes back from the cold, dark grave,
By sin’s old tyrannous longings led
Comes back from the cold, dark grave –
O’er waves as red as a lover’s blood
Struck down in his amorous lustihood!
O evil love in whose tossing hair
The fires of infamous longings glow”
In Viereck’s poem Kakodaimon (literally meaning “evil spirit”) he writes of his choice to embrace evil and reject Christ writing:
Ah, but I know, and yet I have not gone –
Stand boldly fronting this my destiny,
That my reward must my damnation be,
To wait in silence for the dread decree
And find no mercy at Jehovah’s throne,
Kakodaimon!Thine is the blame if o’er my head shall roll
His thunderous wrath: yet if one spake “Disown
Thy love, or bid farewell to Mary’s Son!”
I should not grasp the priest’s absolving stole,
But, choosing, at thy worshipped feet lie prone,
O splendid evil genius of my soul.
Kakodaimon!
In his House of the Vampire published in 1907, Viereck became the popularizer of the first psychic homo-erotic vampire novel featuring a main character named Reginald Clark who sucks the essence of male lovers to produce great art… “and move society forward.” In his plays such as All Things Human and Gloria, Viereck praised eros as the primordial force of creation.
To this author’s knowledge, there is no direct evidence that Tesla was engaged in the types of perverse rituals which appeared to have been the passions of Viereck or Crowley, and it is entirely possible that he may have been sexually abstinent his entire life. One thing is certain however, which is that Tesla had a very abnormal relationship with pigeons writing in 1922 of one particular pigeon which he took back to his hotel room:
“I loved that pigeon as a man loves a woman, and she loved me. As long as I had her, there was a purpose to my life.”
Another point of interest, is that Viereck’s rise to fame in the realm of American poetry was made possible largely through the work of Robert Underwood Johnson, editor of The Century Magazine.
At the time, Johnson was the only publisher willing to publish poems that embraced satanism, and this didn’t just win Viereck notoriety, but also introduced him to the highest echelons of the deep state, including Theodore Roosevelt himself for whom Viereck even campaigned in 1908.

Robert Underwood Johnson was also a close intimate of American conservationist John Muir and both men served as nature conservation advisors to Teddy Roosevelt before, during and after his presidency. Both Muir and Johnson co-founded the Sierra Club in 1892 and in 1908 launched the White House Conference on Conservation which used the model of British conservation policies in India during the 19th century to remove vast areas of the American west coast from all human development under the image of ‘protecting nature’.
By now, it shouldn’t surprise you to know that Robert Underwood Johnson and John Muir had both been intimate friends of Nikola Tesla since at least 1894, and were frequent guests at Tesla’s lavish parties held throughout their lives.

Even the pedophile rapist Stanford White (architect of the rich and famous) was a regular attendee to Tesla’s galas and was commissioned to design the building connected to Tesla’s Wardenclyffe Long Island tower. After White was murdered by the husband of a woman he raped at the age of 16, Tesla was the only friend who attended his funeral.
As shouldn’t be surprising, all of the Americans mentioned above (including Teddy Roosevelt) were also promoters of spiritualism, channeling, eugenics, and theosophy.
“Airplanes will never be commercially viable”
One of the principal methods for eugenicists to keep their victims trapped within closed systems defined by absolute limits, has been to blind the minds of people to breakthroughs in those domains that allow humanity to leap beyond limits to growth. As long as new frontiers cannot be accessed, then humanity will be forever trapped within limited realms of scarcity. Such was the case in the earliest days of airplanes after the Wright brothers demonstrated the possibility of flight. The prospect of commercial flight lit the imagination of people all across the world as journeys that had taken weeks or months, could soon be done in days… or even hours. Space and time were condensing in front of our eyes.
Most scientists were happy about these developments… except Nikola Tesla.
In 1911, Nikola Tesla, already then being hailed by the Underwood-Johnson/Hearst press agencies as a “modern prophet” delivered an interview to the New York Herald on the topic of flying machines where the great prophet of future technologies was asked about the future of the newly developed aeroplanes. His answer– It’ll never work. Tesla said:
“The aeroplane is fatally defective. It is merely a toy–a sporting play-thing. It can never become commercially practical. It has fatal defects. One is the fact that when it encounters a downward current of air it is helpless. The “hole in the air” of which aviators speak is simply a downward current, and unless the aeroplane is high enough above the earth to move laterally but can do nothing but fall.”
Instead, Tesla self-promoted his own mysterious technology that promised to fly passengers through the sky without propellers, wings or even using fuel, in objects the size of kitchen stoves.
The timing for Tesla’s rejection of the possibility of airplanes was a bit strange, since in 1910 American illusionist (and enemy of the occult underground) Harry Houdini became the first pilot to fly a plane across a continent (Australia) and the excitement about humanity’s aviation future was in full swing.

The Occult Tesla Part 4
Tesla’s Martians and H.G. Wells
In the wake of H.G. Wells’ famous War of the Worlds published in 1898, a wave of “Martian mania” spread across the western world with channelers, mediums and psychics professing to have received communications from higher entities from outer space.
Tesla may or may not have believed he received psychic communication with aliens (his assistant Arthur Matthews testifies that he did), but he certainly believed that he was receiving messages from Martians via wireless receivers that he had developed in Long Island and Colorado as early as 1898 financed by JP Morgan.
In a February 1921 interview with the Albany Telegram, Tesla said:
“I have a deep conviction…that highly intelligent beings exist on Mars. I believe they have reached a mechanical stage of civilization much more advanced than ours. However, it is quite likely that all racial distinctions and ideals have been extinguished there and life has become simply a desperate struggle for existence. The population may have been reduced to a few highly specialized individuals.
Twenty-two years ago, while experimenting in Colorado with a wireless power plant, I obtained extraordinary experimental evidence of the existence of life on Mars. I had perfected a wireless receiver of extraordinary sensitiveness, far beyond anything known, and I caught signals which I interpreted as meaning 1 – 2 – 3 – 4. I believe the Martians used numbers for communication because numbers are universal.”
Tesla had a very specific notion of the type of aliens that had evolved on Mars, and followed the exact same line of reasoning popularized by H.G. Wells who had detailed alien life as a more advanced expression of humanity.
In his 1898 War of the Worlds, Wells writes:
“To me it is quite credible that the Martians may be descended from beings not unlike ourselves… we men are just in the beginning of the evolution that the Martians have worked out. They have become practically mere brains wearing different bodies according to their needs just like men wear suits of clothes.”
In his 1901 “I Expect to Talk to Mars” Tesla wrote:
“It is logical to assume that the biological evolution of the Martians more or less parallel that of the human species, although they may have reached a stage far in advance of ours. They see, smell, feel, hear life through the same sense as we. It is no strain on the imagination to assume some super-Tesla on Mars, perfecting at this very moment, some new system of communication with us.”
This characterization of aliens as the outcome of Darwinist forces of natural selection beyond current humans is the driving force of transhumanism– a term popularized by Thomas Huxley’s grandson Sir Julian Huxley in 1957.
Writing in his his 1957 New Bottles for New Wine, Julian Huxley said:
“I believe in transhumanism: once there are enough people who can truly say that, the human species will be on the threshold of a new kind of existence, as different from ours as ours is from that of Peking man. It will at last be consciously fulfilling its real destiny.”
As we will soon come to see in part 9 of this series, both Nikola Tesla and H.G. Wells were both equally influenced by… Thomas Huxley, and especially leading figures of Huxley’s X Club.
On the Non-Human Causes of War
Beyond claims of communicating with Martians, the need for eugenics and the impossibility of commercial airplanes, there was very little that Tesla did not assert loud prophecies about throughout his long life ranging far outside of his field of expertise.
Extending his super-human insight into the causes of wars, Tesla’s brilliance is once again shown to be slightly over-rated when he asserted that human beings, or intentions (see: ‘conspiracies’) can never be the cause of wars. The truly wise man, exclaims Tesla, knows that the cause of all wars is found in the mind-less mechanics of the solar system:
“A war can never be caused by arbitrary acts of man. It is invariably the more or less direct result of cosmic disturbance in which the sun is chiefly concerned. In many international conflicts of historical record which were precipitated by famine, pestilence or terrestrial catastrophes the direct dependence of the sun is unmistakable.”
Anyone reading Kaiser Wilhelm’s letters to his cousin Czar Nicholas II in the lead up to WWI would easily discover that the first world war was carefully orchestrated by leading strategists of the British Empire[1] (just as the Balkans War, Sino-Russian War of 1904, the Opium Wars, Crimean War and U.S. Civil War). The evidence demonstrating these facts are available to anyone capable of using their powers of reason, and yet somehow the great penetrating genius of Tesla was incapable of fathoming how human agendas could cause wars?
Perhaps, Tesla’s inability to recognize the human agency causing wars may have something to do with his close friendship with many members of the leading occult agencies who were orchestrating global wars?
Just a thought.
[1] Kaiser Wilhelm wrote despairingly in August 1914: “England, Russia, and France have agreed among themselves… to take the Austro-Serbian conflict for an excuse for waging a war of extermination against us… That is the real naked situation slowly and cleverly set going by Edward VII and… finally brought to a conclusion by George V… So the famous encirclement of Germany has finally become a fact, despite every effort of our politicians and diplomats to prevent it. The net has been suddenly thrown over our head, and England sneeringly reaps the most brilliant success of her persistently prosecuted purely anti-German world policy against which we have proved ourselves helpless, while she twists the noose of our political and economic destruction out of our fidelity to Austria, as we squirm isolated in the net. A great achievement, which arouses the admiration even of him who is to be destroyed as its result! Edward VII is stronger after his death than am I who am still alive!”
