•
The first wireless radio broadcast, (Wireless Telephone,
WiTEL) in the world that transmitted voice and music into
the atmosphere, was from a 5 room school
house.
•
•
To be exact, radio at that time was called, "wireless
telephony", and it took place in 1892 on the 82 acre estate
of the N.B. Stubblefield, Industrial School. The house
included a living room, kitchen, and 3 classrooms that made
into bedrooms at night. The water well was on one side of
the house, the out house on the other. The barn that held 2
horses, a carriage, and two cats was in the back of the
house.
•
•
"We know the man and his family who lived in this house,
because the man was our great-grandfather, Nathan B.
Stubblefield," say the children of Troy Cory-Stubblefield.
•
•
The house that opened its doors to the world of radio, is
pictured above with Grandpa Nat, grandmother Ada, and their
other 6 children. Oliver, the father of Troy, is the little
boy standing front row lett. Placed in front of the family,
is the first permanent wireless telephone broadcasting
installation in the world, are a few of the photos taken at
his recent 1902 ship-to-shore demonstrations, held in
Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.
•
•
Not only did grandpa Nat, as our father called him, patent
his grounded firewire RF induction coils that created the
virtual electromagnetic wave antenna lying beneath the
ground surrounding the coils, (1898) -- but these same earth
batteries helped power his perpendicular antenna needed to
send voice through the atmosphere.
•
•
He had been transmitting voice and music from the school
house since -- 1892, utilizing the same virtual antenna RF
induction coil concept with his perpendicular antennas
attached to a grounded earth RF coil. His own NBS mechanical
telephone system, pointed out Priscilla, was patented four
years prior, in1888.
•
•
NBS was also one of the first men to form a Wireless
Telephone Company, and the first to file and patent the
invention as the Wireless Telephone almost 97 years ago
today, May 12, 1907. Click to See First Wireless Telephone
Patent Drawing and Movie.
•
•
I've been thinking a lot about Grandpa Nat lately, not only
because of the anniversary of that hopeful day in 1907, but
because of the recent re-ascendancy of regulatory missteps
and the regulatory seizures of property taken by our
government's various regulatory agencies, then more or less
holding the seized assets under lock and key, until a claim
is filed by the victim or his/her survivors. It's the
regulatory agency's fiduciary duty and requirement to pay
the owner first for any seized property, before selling it
to the general public. In
recent 2005 Florida Holocaust case, the U.S. Government's,
statue of limitation defense was overruled, and the U.S.,
was required to pay the victims and/or their survivors of
stolen art objects, an amount that exceeded 25.5 million
USdollars. Also -

Stubblefield.
and Managing The Trust Of
Victims and the problems.
•
•
Although Grandpa Nat wasn't a victim of the holocaust, he
was a victim of those government officials who were, and
still are, in trust of his patent device and the by-products
of those patents they kept under lock and key, until 1996.
Grandpa Nat, became a victim of national security, just like
the inventors and developers of the Atomic Bomb and victims
of the holocaust. "As for our Grandpa Nat, he became a
passionate "secret keeper" -- he defended his commitments
made to his nation, which in turn, lead to his strange death
one year after one of his major wireless telephone patents
expired, in 1928," says Priscilla
Stubblefield.
•
•
It was just twenty-one years earlier, in 1907, just seven
years before the war in Europe started that Grandpa Nat and
his invention were the talk of the town in Washington, D.C.
He had just filed a patent for his new wireless telephone
device that could hook into existing world-wide telegraph
and telephone landlines. In all aspects, my Grandpa's
wireless device and system, describes today's Wi-Fi and the
land-line Internet system. People will soon be asking
themselves, "Do the Americans want to control the Internet
like they did the wired wireless global telecommunications,
in 1907, or lose the dotcom era to the .de, .cn or,
.frs.
•
•
As he was sitting at the desk of his old friend, General
Squier of the U.S. Army Signal Corps, in 1907, it was easy
for the General to persuade Grandpa Nat to make a deal with
the U.S. Army for their exclusive use and control of his
NBS, wireless telephone system. After all is said and done,
says Alden Stubblefield, the U.S. Government owned the Army,
did't it. It just added that extra security NBS needed, to
ensure his future wealth.
•
•
The General was at the height of his powers, in charge of
procuring telecommunication secrets that would help defend
the territorial awards gained from the Spanish American War,
and to keep in constant voice contact with the building of
the Panama Canal, and preparing for the war that was
predicted to happen in Europe on or before
1914.
•
•
The General convinced Grandpa Nat that a few patentable
trade outs, here and there would only enhance the potentials
of what it would be like working with the U.S. Army, as part
of the Signal Corps telecom team. Both the General and NBS
had close associations with Nikola Tesla, George.
Westinghouse, Fessenden, and Prof. Frederick Collins, all
part of the original 1902, Philadelphia and Washington D.C.
demonstrations. The General positioned himself to have close
dealings with all of the members of the Smart-Daaf Boys
group, and acted as the intermediary for the inventor,
AT&T, GE, the Marconi Company and Congress.

By 1910, as the story goes, most of the committed "secret
keeper" group, except for Collins and Deforest, were totally
convinced that they would be part of an alliance that would
monopolize NBS's wireless/firewire patents, and Squier's
proposed multiplex wired-wireless radio telephone/telegraph
system, throughout the world. See Photo of Philadelphia and
Potomac River wireless demonstration - 1902. Click to view -
the SMART-DAAF BOYS.
•
•
After the U.S. Attorney General announced the acceptance of
AT&T's Kingsbury Commitment in 1913, and upon the advice
and assurance that the telecom commitment would be enforced
by the U.S. Attorney General's office, the Signal Corps
"dream team" stepped aside and fell into the background in
1913, explains the movie treatment.
•
•
Stubblefield filed for his promised Flying Machine patent,
in the name of his son Bernard Stubblefield; Collins and
DeForest swiftly concluded their stock fraud cases; and the
General committed to give any acquired or future patent
rights involving telephony or telegraphy, to the people of
the United States, as a sign of good faith and Squires full
intentions. See NBS Timeline.
•
•
The Kingsbury Commitment, was a simple letter from the vice
president of AT&T', Nathan Kingsbury, dated, December 9,
1913, in which AT&T agreed with the U.S. Attorney
General, that it would divest itself of Western Union, would
provide long-distance services to independent exchanges
under certain conditions and to refrain from any and all
acquisitions if the Interstate Commerce Commission objected.
•
•
Again, like today, there were just as many judicial
activists then, earning a place in history, by making things
happen. They angered the electromagnet wave industry
innovators, who viewed the court rulings as "overly zealous
regulators, with self-serving agendas", says attorney Scott
Stubblefield. Both federal and local judges helped establish
the precedents for implementing the Mann-Elkins Act of 1910,
and the 1913 "Kingsbury Commitment, that ended any dreams
the Kentucky "Big Six" had in creating a National
Broadcasting System (NBS) telecom monopoly in Kentucky.
(Both Squier and AT&T's, Theodore Vail had worked on the
founding of the Mann-Elkins Act of 1910, and the 1913
"Kingsbury Commitment. Squier was co-holder of several
patents filed by AT&T).
•
•
Making AT&T a quasi like arm of the U.S. Government, to
seize the assets of other telecom companies, by "natural"
reasons, was one of the regulatory missteps, that was
overlooked by state's rights backers.
•
•
The Act cemented AT&T's control of America's telephone
land-line network and was the door opener for the emerging
wireless radio broadcasting industry led by NBC. The
monopoly's power to supervise war time patent pools, was a
dream come true for AT&T. After the war's end, AT&T,
claimed the telecom assets and frequencies as theirs, and
the regulators agreed ruling that such procedures were
necessary to control the interconnections that were being
tied into the future of America's telecom system's
targets.
•
•
NBS was not, and had never been a member of any anti-war or
hate group that was out to ban Telefunken or the Marconi
Company out of existence. He in fact despised dictatorial
ideology and was a proud American patriot. But he was also a
southern Democrat, an educator, an inventor, with a strong
belief in States rights.
•
•
In other words, Grandpa Nat was exactly the kind of person
who followed Time Lines. If Dolbear, Edison, Bell, Tesla,
Braun, Marconi, and Fessenden DID THIS and DID THAT in 1880,
1888, in 1896 and in 1907, and if NBS had done THIS or THAT,
in 1882, 1886, 1892, 1898, 1902 and in 1907, and the general
public was invited to demonstrations as witnesses - that was
the way it was with him. --"Who could challenge historical
truths with photos and public records, unless a big ball of
fire occurred," said Alden Stubblefield. - MORE

By 1915, Grandpa Nat left his Washington connections and
secrets behind forever. He knew how and why his wireless
system was separated from the profitable two-way land-line
telephone service, and as to why and when the name,
"wireless telephone" was changed to "radio" -- and why he
was given title to the flying machine that was part of a
trade-out.
•
•
NBS also knew the secrets as to why the two-way radio
frequency station, was to exclusively support existing Morse
Code dit dah transmissions, and why AT&T was given the
franchise to control the new one-way Voice radio frequency
station, and who was going to service the owners of the
newly developed table-top radio receiver, -- as described on
his drawings,
•
•
The one thing he didn't know, was how the signatories to the
Kingsbury Commitment were going to take over and merge the
AT&T / U.S. Government agenda with the many
city/state-owned bankrupt telephone companies, and how they
were to handle payment to complete their "One System, One
Universal Service, and One Telephone Policy", with his own
Kentucky telephone company investors, with proper
compensation.
•
•
Grandpa Nathan's life was turned inside out when his
investors started to complain about the inquiries asked by
regulators concerning their private lives. He was called to
testify before General Squier's inquiries in Washington,
which was investigating subversives in the U.S. Army and his
dealings with Squier, and was subpoenaed to Atlanta,
Georgia, concerning Collin's stock fraud inquiries, as well.
•
•
As one of the original organizers of the American Wireless
Telephone and Telegraph Company, NBS had to distant himself
from friends and founders of the Kentucky "Big Six" -- who
had refused to testify. He couldn't shake a sense of dread,
so grandpa, now divorced from grandmother Ada Mae, moved his
gear to a one room hut and became a stranger than fiction
recluse. On summer nights, he would shock his neighbors by
lighting up hill sides from his hut, with his buried RF
induction transmitting coils. See Firewire and
Wireless.
•
•
When the United States entered into World War I, from June
1917 to July 1919, all of the U.S. land-line telephone
systems, wireless radio broadcasting companies and telecom
patents were nationalized and pooled, making any claims for
patent infringement or cross usage, null and void. Grandpa
Nat still living as a recluse near Murray, still had one
secret he never leaked, said neighbors, and that secret was
a wireless device -- he called,
"LookRadio".
•
•
Following the war he thought, as well as others, including
family members, that reprivatization would restore his
patent and frequency assets back to him, but under the
"Commitment", AT&T resumed its near-monopoly quasi
government telecom
position.
•
•
Between 1921 and 1934 the ICC approved 271 of the 274
purchase requests of AT&T. In 1934, the government made
AT&T a regulated monopoly under the jurisdiction of the
Federal Communications Commission. This formal quasi
government status was maintained until AT&T's forced
divestiture in 1984.
•
•
Ada Mae, said in her letters that NBS was "a victim of the
… awful pressure of the hysterical assault upon
inventions that reactionaries were using and promoting for
their own ends." But on March 30, 1928, when Grandpa NBS was
found dead, those who had tormented him were unapologetic.
"It seems to me," said his grandson, Troy Cory-Stubblefield
in the movie treatment, "that NBS's conscience was always
clear as a secret keeper. His life style showed everyone
that he was willing to wait out his fate until the war
ended, then God's willing, his luck would change, and they
would all get paid from the work product of his
inventions."
•
•
There was no reason why people would make him suffer by
spreading lies about his private life in Washington, and the
stories about Clarissa that made his life untenable among
Ada Mae and his children.
•
•
In the movie script, Clarissa is of the opinion that because
of NBS's investors' growing hatred for the people on Wall
Street, and those politicians who helped glorify the Madison
Square Gardens wireless stock sales, featuring Tesla and
Collins, were the causes of their monetary losses, and the
reason why some big-name Kentucky players had to stay at
arm's length -- from NBS. - MORE

In my family, and to some of those around and about
Kentucky, grandpa Nat was accorded hero status, which I'm
sure served as an aspirin for allowing him to live so long
where he did, then die on the same earth floor hut he
started out with, some ten years earlier. On March 28, 1930,
on the campus of N.B. Stubblefield Industrial School, now
Murray State University, a Memorial Headstone was erected in
his honor, on his former Telephon-Del-Green 82 acre estate,
100 feet from the school house and near the grave sites of
two of his children, Frederic and William Tesla (Billy),
named after his peers and his father, Capt.
Billy.
•
•
As a child I could see the humanity and intelligence in his
eyes from the portrait of Grandpa Nat hanging on the wall in
my parents' house, says Alden Stubblefield. Now, as I flip
through the major feature film movie treatment, "Firewire
and Watermelons", based on the 1992 four-volume book set,
"N.B. Stubblefield and the Smart-Daaf Boys, I can finally
see why the letter "S" in the title, Smart-Daaf Boys is the
acronym for Stubblefield and the eight wireless innovators.
See Amazon for Books: co-written by my father Troy
Cory-Stubblefield, Josie
Cory-Stubblefield.
•
•
"When I was 5 and about to start school", adds Scott
Stubblefield, I questioned my mother and father whether all
of those terrible stories I'd heard about first-grade were
true. You know, the ones about, if you couldn't say your
ABC's backwards and forward in two minutes, you were a dumb
bell, and the one about the giant-sized fifth-grader
bogeymen lurking around every corner, waiting for the chance
to put a charley horse on your back-side -- with a girl or
two, snickering and giggling while watching on".
•
•
My mother assured me those stories weren't true, pointing to
the 1902 Philadelphia photo hanging on the wall, showing
Grandpa standing with some of the greatest industry leaders
of the 19th and 20th century. In a low whispering vocie, she
said, "that if I made it through law school, I might get a
chance to do something great, just like Grandpa Nat
did."
•
•
After one hour, I could name every Smart-Daaf Boy in the
photo, plus remember the name "bowler hat" as they called
the funny old-fashioned "derby hat" Grandpa Nat, Collins,
Gen. Squier and the man from Bell Telephone were wearing.
How did they know then, that the wireless telephone that was
broadcasting voice and music, would later be renamed,
radio?
•
•
"But Grandpa, like his friend Tesla and George
Westinghouse", shouted Scott, while finger pointing to
the1902 Philadelphia photo seen above, -- "In the eyes of
many -- some of those men seen standing there in the
line-up, viewed Grandpa and Tesla as the bogeymen lurking
around every corner, waiting for the chance to put a charley
horse on their back-side." What hurt Grandpa Nat most of all
though, was when they branded him "nothing but a --
watermelon farmer."
•
•
THEN AND NOW - I wonder if people would feel differently
about the world of education and the wireless
video/telephone telecommunications, if they would take a
closer look at what the N.B. Stubblefield Industrial School
looked like in the early 1900s, before the
Telephon-Del-Green 82 acreage became a Kentucky University,
and before the NBS100 frequency by-products were sold in
1996, to the general
public.
•
•
Today, it is easy to understand why the Smart Daaf wireless
frequencies were sold in 1996 by the FCC -- for over 37
billion $USdollars, but it's hard to imagine, as to why
somebody from the FCC didn't notify MSU or a member of
NBS100 group then, before the wireless telephone frequencies
were sold. Priscilla thinks the reasons are simple. We know
about the sales, we know the history, now the movie about
how the billions were collected by the Smart-Daaf Boys, MSU,
and the Kentucky "Big Six".
•
•
In the case of the holocaust victims, the cash and the works
of art that were either stolen from the victims by the
personnel, employed by the U.S. Army, and in the action
where a Swiss bank was holding deposits belonging another
group of victims, eventually was settled under U.S. Federal
rules of law. Both cases considered the tortfeasor, as
regulatory agencies, acting in fiduciary capacity, Both
America and Switzerland were held responsible for monetary
damages, and billions were paid to the victims, and or their
survivors.
•
•
When you click on the nbs100.com website, watch the
"Stubblefield" LookRadio, Podcast movie trailer, then click
over to the official U.S. Patent Office site. Spend a few
moments viewing each of the 1907 NBS drawings, note the
distances from his mobile wireless telephone devices within
the moving vehicles, to the land-line telephone/telegraph
pole -- there were no ground connections.
•
•
Then notice the type of mobile antennae the horseless
carriage, ship and the locomotive are using to transmit and
receive signals. It was a pure NBS ordinary radio frequency.
The wireless units were later streamlined by one of the
Smart-Daaf boys with specific tuners to fit any frequency
known to mankind. Squire perfected land-line
multiplexing.
•
•
Just imagine in the spring of 1907, the real and human life
Grandpa Nat, his wife and children must have enjoyed -- when
they were the center of every conversation about the money
and wealth the wireless telephone would bring to the State
of Kentucky and Washington, D.C. When the stewardship of
wireless changed hands in 1913, so did NBS's private life.
Alone and apostatized by his family and friends, he was
found dead in the early spring of 1928, in a house he shared
with his cat. Before he died, Nathan B. Stubblefield said to
his neighbors: "I've lived fifty years before my
time".
•
•
To be exact, he lived 88 years before his time. It was not
until 1996, the RF radio frequencies emitted by his 1898
virtual antenna system, he called his earth induction coils,
and those described in his 1908 wireless telephone patents,
were permitted by the FCC, to be sold to the general public.
In regards to the small hut where he lived, it had only one
room -- that became Grandpa Nat's only wireless refuge.
•
•
Because no one was with Grandpa Nat when he passed on, it is
thought that he might have died on or about, March 30th
1928. His cat was found licking at Grandpa Nat's eyeballs
when he was found dead lying on the earth floor of the hut.
Though he didn't smoke, a pipe was in his hand.
•
•
We
know this is true, because the story was told to our father
by the man who found the lifeless body of my Grandpa Nat,
when the man was just a teenager. This man's story was video
taped, and can be seen by clicking here -- on VRA Teleply
movie preview.
