In June of 1936 Marconi demon- strated to Italian Fascist dictator Benito Mussolini a wave gun device that could be used as a defensive weapon. In the 1930s such devices were popularised as ‘death rays’ as in a Boris Karloff film of the same name. Marconi demonstrated the ray on a busy highway north of Milan one afternoon. Mussolini had asked his wife Rachele to also be on the highway at precisely 3.30 in the afternoon. Marconi's device caused the electrical systems in all the cars, including Rachele's, to malfunction. The car motors would not function for half an hour, while her chauffeur and other motorists checked their fuel pumps and spark plugs. At 3.35 all the cars were able to start again. Rachele Mussolini later published this account in her autobi- ography. Mussolini was quite pleased with Marconi's invention however it is said that Pope Pius XI learned about the invention of the paralysing rays and took Steps to have Mussolini stop Marconi's research. According to Marconi's follow- ers, Marconi then took his yacht to South America in 1937, after faking his own death. A SECRET UNDERGROUND CITY OF THE ANDES? A high-tech, secret city has been said to exist in a remote jungle crater in South America. If so, who might the scientists be who run this James Bond-type super- fortress? The story begins with the great Italian scientist Guglielmo Marconi (1874- 1937), a former student of Nikola Tesla. Marconi studied radio transmission theo- ty with Tesla and made his first radio transmission in 1895. Marconi and Tesla are both accredited for the invention of A number of European scientists were said to have gone with Marconi, includ- ing Landini. In 1937, the enigmatic Ttalian physicist and alchemist Fulcanelli warmed European physicists of the grave dangers of atomic weapons, and then mysteriously vanished a few years later. He is believed to have joined Marconi's secret group in South America. Ninety-eight scientists were said to have gone to South America where they Se Vol 2, No 13 - 1993 52¢NEXUS Sv
