Turns out it's all Edison's fault!

Edison's Secret Powerhouse: A Buried Medium - Haunted Ohio Books

Seems old Paul was way ahead of modern day nutjobs. Here's my favorite quote, though there is much, much more at the page linked up there:

“The revolutionary movements in Russia,” he writes, “the unrest of the Poles, the sharpness of the antagonism between Austria and Hungary, the conditions in Servia, the antitheses between Greece and Roumania and the other Balkan lands, the illness of the Sultan, the artificial concentration of the interests of the Italian people against the Austrian frontier, the continual difficulties of the Spanish Government, the mutiny at Portsmouth the Boer insurrection, the strikes in England—all these were produced from America by electro-magnetism."

Geez, the Edison article is priceless. Come to think of it, I believe "mystic ecologist" David Sereda has been channeling Pastor Schultze for the last four or five years. There I go HAARPing on Sereda again.
