it is claimed that nikola tesla, and walter russell, spoke, and that walter russell told tesla the cosmogeny.

"Nikola Tesla and Walter Russell did meet and discuss their respective cosmologies. Tesla recognized the wisdom and power of Russells' teaching and urged Russell to lock up his knowledge in a safe for 1,000 years until man was ready for it."

"Nikola Tesla told Walter Russell to hide his cosmogony from the world for a thousand years. "

and then the version with "to await the unfolding of man".

"If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search. ... I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety percent of his labor."

Well, the statement, that Tesla told to wait him for 1000 years and also some othing things is mentioned in the book "Atomic Suicide?".

And therefore the statement that Marconi "stole" Tesla's idea is IMHO also not exactly correct.

It is a pretty much established fact that Marconi stole his work from Jagadish Chandra Bose from India, whose work was not accepted as India was under British rule at that time.It is known as Italian Navy Coherer Scandal[4].

The later court case outcome was more politically influenced than really based on the facts...

[...] A list of the great educators and scientists, men who were associated with my husband during the more than forty years of his active work for the betterment of human relations in industry, would fill many pages. However, the list includes such men as [...], Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, [...] and many others. Letters, autographs and other historical documents from many of these celebrities are part of the museum of my husband's work here at Swannanoa. [...]

[...] Such great souls are the world-mystics whom the man who does not understand call "crackpots" and dreamers. Practically every world-genius has been a "crackpot" to his neighbors. Poor Leonardo had to bury his inventions in sealed vaults, as Nikola Tesla told my husband he must also do, so that posteriority could take advantage of his "crackpot" ideas and inspirations. [...]

[...] The harder he tried to give his new knowledge the greater he was suppressed. A number of distinguished scientists of great vision were deeply impressed, and partially convinced, but felt that tradition was too deeply rooted to allow such a great change. These men included Thomas Edison, [...]. Nikola Tesla was, however, fully convinced that my husband's electrical knowledge was true to Nature, but it was so different from the accepted pattern that Tesla told him that he would have to seal it in a sepulchre with instructions that it be opened in a thousand years when human intelligence had unfolded far enough to be ready to accept it. [...]

[...] It is the story of crucifixion, punishment, and torture of such immortals as Socrates, Jesus, Galileo, Leonardo, Spinoza, Shakespeare, Joan of Arc, Baha'u'llah, Robert Paine, Billy Mitchell, Alexander Graham Bell, Nikola Tesla, Charles Goodyear, the Wright Brothers or General Douglas McArthur.

[...] He had, therefore, decided to take Nikola Tesla's advice and seal his knowledge in the Smithsonian Institute until man had sufficiently unfolded, spiritually, to be ready for it. [...]

[...] I feel especially indebted to [...] and to the late Thomas Edison for his more than passing interest in my ideas of polarity and the nature of electricity during my months of professional association with him as his sculptural biographer.
Many others to whom I owe my gratitude are Dr. Robert Andrews Millikan, Dr. Harlow Shapley, Dr Willis D. Whitney, the late Doctors Lee de Forest, Nicola Tesla, Michael Pupin, Harvey Rentschler, and A. A. Michaelson, and Charles Kettering, David Sarnoff and Gerard Swope. [...]

[...]Gradually he withdrew into two big studios high up in Carnegie Hall, where he lived and worked alone for many years. He intended to end his days there engaged in continuing to give creative expression to the five fine arts of music, painting, sculpture, architecture and literature as well as to give some years to more fully recording his scientific discoveries to leave to posterity, as advised and requested by Nikola Tesla.[...]

[...]A few among these survive, however, for their knowledge comes directly from God and God keeps their Light illumined if they work with Him knowingly. Only because of this inner connection in those of our geniuses, who have survived the inquisition of misunderstanding by conformist teachers, do we have such geniuses as Edison, Marconi, Tesla and others like them, who were either compelled by their teachers to leave school or left themselves because they could not stand it.
