ADDRESS

of Ambassador dr. Ljiljana Niksic, NATIONAL COORDINATOR OF A STRATEGIC CAMPAIGN OF SERBIAN DIPLOMACY

“TESLA –ENERGY OF PEACE”

 of the MINISTRY FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA

at the WORLD PHILOSOPHICAL FORUM, November 6-7 2023

 

 

Distinguished members

 of Organizing Committee of WORLD PHILOSOPHICAL FORUM,

 

 

First of all, allow me to kindly  express my personal gratitude to you and to the Organizing Committee of WPF in Athens,  as a National coordinator for strategic campaign of Serbian Diplomacy “TESLA-ENERGY OF PEACE” , FOR PAYING TRIBUTE TO NIKOLA TESLA IN THE YEAR WHEN WE ARE MARKING 80 YEARS OF CULTURE OF REMEMBRANCE ON TESLA IN SERBIA AND WITH OUR SERBIAN SCIENTIFIC DIASPORA IN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND WORLDWIDE, by providing the central session dedicated to Electrical genius and Wizard, Father of 21st century who enlightened humanity and put in debt entire world with his inventions.

Nikola Tesla one of the greatest world innovators, founding father of “New Technological Order” who’s inventions are engraved into the cornerstone of scientific-technological progress of contemporary civilization and achievements the entire humanity enjoys today, on January 10TH  1943, died in the City of New York. He was Serbian American, and dedicated Newyorker. Serbian by birth and American by his own choice. All citizens of the EARTH should be proud of and remember his achievements which were great and are becoming greater as time goes on.

Nikola Tesla could have amassed hundreds of millions of dollars, could have become the richest man in the country, in the world, if he wished for riches; he didn’t, said in his Eulogy in 1943, Mayor of New York LaGuardia. And Tesla did them simply to serve mankind, and for his services, he did not want anything as he did them for the human race.

Tesla is one of the few scientists who dedicated himself to the realization of peace, developing inventions that can prevent wars. He offered humanity the ideal of a scientist who feels and knows that the truth of scientific progress can never, and must not, be separated from the well-being of humanity. Tesla is a pillar and reminder of genuine values of human race.

Tesla embodied his pacifism through three types of inventions: machines for the prevention of armed conflicts, energy shields, and the development of teleautomation. He was a visionary and inventor with over 700 patents paving the way to electricity network as we now of today all over the world, basic discoveries in wireless technology, motors, radio, robotics and computer sciences. He turned the industrial wheels of humanity in 20th century on which the achivements in 21st and beyond are based.

This genius did extraordinary, amazing, miraculous things during his life among us. Should Tesla’s work be suddenly withdrawn, darkness would prevail, and we would slump into barbarism. His life and his deeds are a triumph! We celebrate his achievement on Earth, his great triumph, which is our triumph, the triumph of all the people of the world! Tesla lives on, as Tesla is everywhere around us. We celebrate his contributions to our life by remembering him.

UNESCO, the United Nations educational, scientific and cultural peace organization, The register, called Memory of the World, recognizes his significant influence on the technological development of our entire civilization.

Tesla lived and labored to bring peace to the world; to bring a new era of peace, plenty and happiness to the human race.

Tesla knew that inventions intended for defence could also be used for offence, and therefore did not reveal the details of his research and protected the ENERGY OF PEACE until his last breath on Earth.

Therefore, I am grateful to WORLD PHILOSOPHICAL FORUM on the occasion of 80th Remembrance Year to have organized special tribute to TESLA and is starting today a NOBLE MISSION OF ESTABLISHING

NIKOLA TESLA REMEMBRANCE DAY

In the UNITED NATIONS And urge all citizens OF THE EARTH to be aware of and charish the memory of our great fellow citizen Nikola Tesla who enlightened humanity with his ground breaking work to bring and deliver ENERGY OF PEACE to his fellow Americans, his Ancestor’s Homeland of Serbia and to entire humanity.

 

 

Minister for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia, Mr. Dacic, at the initiative of the Serbian scientific diaspora, on 12 January, the day when Tesla put the first hydroelectric plant on the planet into operation at Niagara Falls in 1895 and enlightened humanity, declared the "Tesla Year of Tesla People" on the occasion of eight decades of culture of remembrance of Nikola Tesla (1943-2023), who engraved himself into the foundations of progress of United States of America and became a “Father of 21st century” and  modern technological civilization.

 

I , AMONG ALL OF MY COLLEAGUES AMBASSADORS OF MFA OF THE REPUBLIC OF SERBIA  ha VE HAD THIS RARE PRIVELAGE AND HONOR TO HAVE been appointed to the post of the National Co-ordinator of Strategic campaign of Serbian Diplomacy “TESLA-ENERGY OF PEACE”.

 

The goal of marking the "Tesla Year of Tesla People" is to promote the achievements of Nikola Tesla, the American innovator of Serbian origin, and of the Serbian scientific diaspora, as well as to strengthen the relationship between Serbs and Americans - Tesla people, since he was an American inventor of Serbian origin.

 

The first appointed “Tesla Ambassador” of "Tesla Year of Tesla People" is David Vujic, the last from the “Serbo 7” team of Serbian engineers in the Apollo 11 mission of the NASA space agency and the honorary president of the Tesla Science Foundation from the U.S., and he is followed by Dejan Ilic, a famous innovator with 680 registered patents, from Germany, Dan Tana, a Hollywood legend and ambassador of the Football Association of Serbia, American pianist of Serbian origin Marina Arsenijevic, composer and author of the Tesla Rhapsody for Tesla People, the famous British producer of Serbian origin Gabrielle Tana from London and many others, such as Zubin Mechta, Militza Pivnicki Mulroney, Novak Djokovic, WORLD TENNIS CHAMPION and many others etc..( https://www.politika.rs/sr/clanak/558973/den-tana-zubin-vucic-beogradska-filharmonija-tesla)

First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister Dacic handed Tesla diplomatic passports to youngest Tesla Ambassadors: Reade Ben and Kayla Zhun, as the first Americans, members of Tesla people - from Princeton and Columbia Universities. These Fulbright scholars are staying in Belgrade and London, at the University of Cambridge, as part of their visit to Europe, after completing an internship at the White House.

 

 

Serbian MFA has started 11 brands and initiatives, so far, among which are the following:

TESLA DIPLOMATIQUE PASSPORT for TESLA AMBASSADORS

Some companies like AIR SERBIA, and associations like Union of journalists and writers  of Serbia, Tesla Science Center from Wardenclyff, Long Island, New York , also took significant part in Tesla Year as many other entities and foundations.

In this respect we would kindly like to ask ALL MEMBER STATES OF WORLD PHILOSOPHICAL FORUM AND ALL INDIVIDUALS WHO ATTENTD YOUR GATHERINGS to take part in marking TESLA YEAR within the framework of your responsibilities and sphere of interest and join us.

As above mentioned, we already did mark several important dates such as Tesla’s Birthday, on July 10th,  then 105th anniversary of the   Day when the Serbian Flag Flew over the White House, as the first foreign flag in its history out of a total of two that ever flew on July 28th 1918 etc.

We would highly appreciate if you would take into serious consideration, also, getting involved in SAVING THE AUTHENTIC TESLA LEGACY FOR HUMANITY, NAMELY Tesla labs and Tesla Tower AT Wardenclyff, Long Island, New Yorkfrom 1901, having in mind that Musk Foundation, Djokovic Foundation and many others are involved in building programs of this important historical site.  Mr. Alessi, director of TSCW HAS ORGANIZED 108 COUNTIRES, 33 000 DONORS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD TO HELP SAVE THIS HISTORICAL SITE. WE SHOULD ALL DO MORE, AS THIS SITE IS IMPORTANT FOR COLLECTIVE MEMORY OF HUMANITY.

                      Thank you in advance on your valuable attention and expressed readiness to participate.

As the NATIONAL COORDINATOR OF TESLA YEAR of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Serbia, I am thanking you, also, on behalf of TESLA PEOPLE, the Serbs all over the Globe for the possibility for adoption of a DECLARATION ON NIKOLA TESLA with following initiatives:

·        Establishing of INTERNATIONAL TESLA COMMITTEE

·        Establishing of TESLA FUND

·        Establishing of international TESLA PRIZE

·        Initiative to UNESCO to put on list of protected World  cultural heritage  the Tesla Labs site on Long Island, Wardenclyff, New York and support TESLA SCIENCE CENTER at WARDENCLYFF to do the reconstruction of it to the benefit of entire humanity and engrave Tesla legacy into the collective memory of the World

·        Initiative to United nations to adopt TESLA DAY, as the World has the World Philosophy Day as an international day, which has been proclaimed by UNESCO to be celebrated every 3rd Thursday of November.

 

NIKOLA TESLA is a symbol of a critical and independent thought and TESLA PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE TO DO EVERYTHING TO THE BENEFIT OF THE HUMANITY AND TO DO NOTHING AGAINST THE PLANET EARTH AND PRINCIPLES OF NATURE. AS A SCIENTIST HE PROTECTED THOSE TWO PRINCIPLES ALL OF HIS LIFE. Institutionalisation of TESLA DAY through UNITED NATIONS would be modestly contributing to the noble cause globaly promoting TESLA PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE which is engraved in postulates which World Philosophical Forum promotes. He was aware that WE ARE ALL CITIZENS OF EARTH and that we have to respect the Nature and not go against it.

WORLD PHILOSOPHICAL FORUM makes annual gatherings in Athens, every November, ever since it was registered back in 2009 AND ALIGNS WITH THE GOALS OF UN AND UNESCO celebrations of World Philosophy Day. Republic of Serbia is supporting UN and UNESCO strategies and global goals as a member State and we are grateful on your initiative as an independent Greek founded non-governmental, nonprofit organization (NGO) with branches in 53 countries  on all continents all over the Earth with the mission to charish and implement civilizational values for all citizens of the world which is a MISSION FOR EVERY RESPECT, INDEED. The number of branches is impressive and has an important impact and makes the TESLA MISSION of WORLD PHILOSOPHICAL FORUM valuable and realistic.

In this respect, distinguished Excellencies, members of World intellectual elite and avant - guarde of the PLANET OF EARTH, allow me, to give my modest contribution to this NOBLE TESLA MISSION and give some of the elements for the Organizing Committee for the Adoption of the TESLA DECLARATION, which reads as follows:

 

 

RE: Request to UN and UNESCO to protect NIKOLA TESLA LEGACY AND PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE, thus marking 80 years of culture of remembrance on the man who enlightened humanity

 

 

 

DECLARATION

ON NIKOLA TESLA, THE HONORARY CITIZEN OF EARTH, WHO PUT IN DEBT ENTIRE HUMANITY

on the occasion of 80th anniversary of Culture of Remembrance on his contribution to the progress of human race

 

We, the participants of WORLD PHILOSOPHICAL FORUM, gathered here in ATHENS, on November 6-7 2023, with ……………. (number of) participanting countries declaire the following:

 

·        Stating that, Nikola Tesla is, according to the “Encyclopaedia Britannica” included in the list of 10 most important men in the history of humanity which, it is our opinion, gives to his name, HIS PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE, but also to his origins a very special – we should think – exceptional importance.  

 

·        Emphasizing the fact that his origins are often misinterpreted, against which he himself fought and issued a public statement in his own 1921 Memorandum to the journalists (facsimile is attached below this text), where Nikola Tesla underlined his Serbian origins

·        Pointing out that Tesla is Serbian by his birth, and by his choice American. Nikola Tesla was a SERB, born in 1856 in the Habsburg Empire. His hometown of Smiljan, near the city of Gospić, was situated in the part of the Empire called the Military Frontier. His father Milutin was a priest of the Serbian Orthodox Church and his mother, Đuka, was also of Serbian ethnicity. At the very early age he was tought the highest moral and human values in a Biblical sense of those, which he respected to the very last day of his life.

 

·        Recognizing that NIKOLA TESLA is a symbol of a critical and independent thought, the man who enlightened humanity and dreamed that electric power he created should be for free for all people on the Planet.

 

·        |Aware of  the heritage which Tesla left to humanity about 700 inventions as he was a Father of 21st century and his inventions are all around us and new ones are based on his scientific postulates

 

·         Underlining that TESLA LEGACY IS “TESLA PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE” TO DO EVERYTHING TO THE BENEFIT OF THE HUMANITY AND TO DO NOTHING AGAINST THE PLANET EARTH AND PRINCIPLES OF NATURE.

 

·         Expressing gratitude on behalf of all CITIZENS OF THE PLANET OF EARTH to Nikola Tesla AS A SCIENTIST who was also   a PHILOSOPHER OF LIFE, protector of Nature and advocate of PROGRESS FOR ALL, as his life contributions and achievements were TRYUMPH OF ENTIRE HUMANITY.

 

·         Advocating for Institutionalisation of  TESLA DAY through UNITED NATIONS would be modestly contributing to the noble cause globaly promoting TESLA PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE which is engraved in postulates which World Philosophical Forum promotes.

 

·        Following Tesla milestones, as TELSA was aware that WE ARE ALL CITIZENS OF EARTH and should do good for humanity and that we have to respect the Nature and not go against it. TO DO HARM IN ONE PART OF THE WORLD, WOULD HARM ENTIRE WORLD.

 

 

·        Valuing and preserving for future generations dignity of the Tesla LIFE PHILOSOPHY and memory of his contribution to the PLANET EARTH and HUMANITY, remembering, also, that The TESLA FAMILY was nearly wiped out during the Second World War IN Holocaust and genocide in the most monstruous and horrific manner during, when 91 members of his family were brutally murdered.

·        AWARE of the fact that the World did not pay tribute to NIKOLA TESLA contribution to humanity in the way his deeds deserved

 

THEREFORE, In TESLA YEAR, WORLD PHILOSOPHICAL FORUM ,  adopt this DECLARATION ON NIKOLA TESLA with following initiatives:

·        Establishing of INTERNATIONAL TESLA COMMITTEE

·        Establishing of TESLA FUND

·        Establishing of international TESLA PRIZE

IN CONCLUSION, ALLOW ME,

your PHILOSOPHICAL EXCELLENCIES AT THIS HISTORICAL FORUM TO EMPHASIZE THAT WE ARE ALL GATHERED TODAY IN THIS SPECIAL “TESLA MISSION”.

Actually, We are gathered here today at this SPECIAL TRIBUTE SESSION, to celebrate the TRIUMPH OF OUR CIVILIZATION and progress of humanity, as Tesla, Electrical genius and Wizard lives on. He was a great American inventor of Serbian origin who put in debt entire humanity with more then 700 patents and he is a man who enlightened entire humanity. If we were to shut down all of his inventions, then we would be left in total darkness.

IN HONOUR OF MILITARY STOICISM, SACRIFICE AND HEROISM OF SERBIAN PEOPLE, AMERICAN PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON ORDERED ON JULY 28TH 1918, ON FOURTH ANNIVERSARY SINCE THE BEGINNING OF WWI THE SERBIAN FLAG TO FLY OVER THE WHITE HOUSE, AS THE FIRST OUT OF A TOTAL OF TWO FOREIGN FLAGS THAT WERE GIVEN SUCH AN HONOR AND THAT EVER FLEW IN THE HISTORY OF THE WHITE HOUSE.

So, let us remember TESLA through some statements of some other outstanding individuals :

Albert Einstein, worldknown physicist,holder of the Nobel Prize

 

When Einstein was asked: “How does it feel like to be the smartest man in the World?“

He replied: “You must ask Nikola Tesla“

 

 

Indian philosopher and guru Swami Vavikaninda who introduced yoga meditation to Europe

 

In the letter to a friend on February 13th 1896, Vaavikaninda says: “Sarah Bernhardt, famous French artist exxpressed admiration for Swami’s teaching and Swami said for Tesla  that he is a“Divinity!“

 

 

Russian Tsar Nikolai Romanov II

 

“Tesla has invented , just now such a miraculous invention which would put the wars into history , as they would  become sensless.“

 

 

Yasuyuko Fukumuro, chief researcher of Japanesse Aerospace Exploration Agency

 

We did it. We proved  Nikola Tesla thesis in 2015, wireless transmission of electric energy as far as 55 meters of teleportation.

 

Elon Musk, CEO Tesla Motors and Space X

 

Tesla lives on.

 

AIDE MEMOIRE

 

 Nikola Tesla was a SERB, born in 1856 in the Habsburg Empire. His hometown of Smiljan, near the city of Gospić, is situated in the part of the Empire called the Military Frontier. His father Milutin was a priest of the Serbian Orthodox Church and his mother, Đuka, was also of Serbian ethnicity. The Tesla Family was known for its service to the church and 38 Teslas were members of the Orthodox clergy. Nikola Tesla lived and worked in the United States of America, where he chose to live and where he died in 1943. In his own 1921 Memorandum to the journalists (facsimile is attached below this text), Nikola Tesla underlined his Serbian origins. Unfortunately, today, at his hometown of Smiljan, where he was born there are no living Serbs in the area. There are no living members of the Tesla family, neither.

 

·        In the period 1941-1945, 91 members of the Tesla family were brutally murdered in the Second World War, out of which 14 within the compounds of JASENOVAC, one of most brutal and most notorious Death Camp along with other Serbs, Jews, Roma and anti-fascists.

 

·        The Monument to Nikola Tesla which graced the central square of the city of Gospić, a small town in the Adriatic hinterland where Tesla’s father was the ordained priest of the Serbian Orthodox Church was razed to the ground by dynamite in 1992. In the same year, 1992, The Museum to Nikola Tesla which existed in Smiljan, the village of his birth near Gospić, as well as Tesla’s own family home, were burnt to the ground. Renewed only in 2006

 

·        Less than three months ago, on 10 July 2023, during the commemorative day of Tesla’s birth, a pile of rubbish was placed on the monument dedicated to Nikola Tesla in the central part of the Balkans – all that in the year which celebrates 80th anniversary of his passing.

 

·        The above stated facts confirmed that the attitude to Nikola Tesla (1856-1943) and his Serbian ancestry did not change for nearly a century, not even in the year when the memory culture celebrates 80 years since Tesla’s passing in New York in 1943. Controversially, Nikola Tesla is still exposed to discrimination within some countries, while at the same time, those different countries use every opportunity to boast and falsely represent itself as “Nikola Tesla’s countries” which is opposite to the MEMORANDUM OF NIKOLA TESLA on his background, which he personally wrote and signed and sent as his statement to journalists in United States in 1921

 

This deeply disturbing act of discrimination and misuse of the face and character of Nikola Tesla for the purpose of promotion of other countries abroad and in the International institutions which are not familiar and have no knowledge about real attitude towards Nikola Tesla should be condemned and each such attempt rejected as it goes against beliefs of Nikola Tesla which he himself stated while alive, so many times.

 

Even with his dying breath, Tesla’s personal wish, expressed before his death, was at his funeral a well-known Serbian song “Tamo daleko”- FAR FAR AWAY, to be played and which ends up with the verse “Long live Serbia!” Such blatant interpretation and acquisition of real historical personages is unsuitable and completely unacceptable. The absurdity of claims could be compared the equally unsuitable and unacceptable claim that because 16 Roman emperors (Including Konstantine the Great) were born in the modern-day Serbia, they should be labelled AS Serbian emperors which is not accurate historically nor biologically, as even if he was born in Sumatra, he would still be of Serbian origin.


ALLOW ME, DISTINGUISHED PHILOSOPHICAL EXCELLENCIES, TO FINISH UP MY ADDRESS BY THANKING YOU ALL ON YOUR ATTENTION

AND BY AWARDING WORLD PHILOSOPHICAL FORUM.

HEREBY, I WOULD KINDLY LIKE TO ASK

PROFESSOR DR STEVEN ROY,

MODERATOR OF TESLA SESSION, TO ACCEPT THE MODEST TOKEN OF APPRETIATION FOR STARTING THIS NOBLE “TESLA MISSION” IN TESLA YEAR,

BY ACCEPTING “TESLA AMBASSADOR” TITLE FOR THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE OF WORLD PHILOSOPHICAL FORUM

WHICH PAYED THIS SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO “THE UNIQUE AND GENUINE CITIZEN OF EARTH NIKOLA TESLA” WHO HAS EVER WALKED ON THE PLANET OF EARTH AMONG THE HUMAN BEINGS.

 

LONG LIVE TESLA, THE HONORARY CITIZEN OF THE PLANET OF EARTH!
