There is a genus of trees in Asia and Australia called\u00c2\u00a0Myristica. One of\u00c2\u00a0its species bears fruit from which seeds (nuts) a well known spice is extracted: nutmeg. This well known (at least to\u00c2\u00a0the Dutch, who dominated the nutmeg trade in the 17th century) spice should only be consumed in very modest quantities, as ingestion of larger quantities of nutmeg causes\u00c2\u00a0the onset of ‘nutmeg poisoning’, an acute psychiatric disorder marked by thought disorder.<\/p>\n

This last quality made me think of a new word … pronounced megnut.<\/p>\n

But spelled “magnut”.<\/p>\n

What is a magnut?<\/p>\n

A magnut is a nutcase whose psyciatric thought disorder makes him think he can produce free energy by employing magnets.<\/p>\n

And I’d like to introduce such a magnut to you, presented to me by someone commenting on my recent post about ‘free energy’ (link<\/a>):<\/p>\n

This person left a comment, claiming that ‘we people’ “didn’t get it”, referring to free energy devices.\u00c2\u00a0A notion\u00c2\u00a0I wholeheartedly, totally and utterly agreed with.<\/p>\n

Said (I will resist writing ‘sad’) person used the name ‘John Searle’, which didn’t ring a bell to me. But his reference included a link to a site called ‘www.searleffect.com’.<\/p>\n

Curious as I am, I followed the link: The site is owned and operated by American John Thomas, who, in turn, is a ‘disciple’ of the British Professor John Ray Robert\u00c2\u00a0Searl.<\/p>\n

Who claims to have invented a machine that produces .. you guessed it: free energy.<\/p>\n

Do I think that my commenter actually IS John Thomas or John Searl? No, of course not. Not only would both men know how to spell ‘Searl’, but the comment was posted from the Netherlands, possibly not too far from the town of Amersfoort. (Of course, John Searle could be my commenter’s real name, but as a gambler… I would bet against that proposition).<\/p>\n

Anyway .. I did some simple Internet research on Professor John Searl, who invented the Searl Effect Generator …<\/p>\n

It turned up some VERY entertaining stuff, although, at the same time, one could consider this sad… REAL sad stuff.<\/p>\n

I will\u00c2\u00a0write more about Professor *cough*\u00c2\u00a0John Searl in an upcoming post.<\/p>\n

In the mean time: keep your money and check books ready, because .. well.. as you will learn, the DISC company needs a LOT of money to complete the construction of such a machine (that Professor *cough* John Searl has already made MANY times, showed, demonstrated and offered for free to many countries, and even was jailed, in his own country, for using it, instead of purchasing energy from the local\u00c2\u00a0power plant.<\/p>\n

It’s a story as silly as it is funny as it is sad.<\/p>\n

Professor *cough* John Searl is my next Nutcase of the Week!<\/p>\n
