Langley,
I am with you many times. Much of this is above my head too but I consider it all important to look at.
I know that the one thing that I have noticed is that Pauls book seems to be exploring just the fact that you mentioned here.
"In my ignorance I see a bead from Teller to Brown, Brown to Shank and Oppie to MJ 12. I say again this is me thinking aloud. It is my supposition I could be wrong. So reader beware it probably aint worth quoting. Just to think about. And its perplexing that Mr Shank disappears from the the Los Alamos record to the extent that his son is researching his history. Yet Paul is able to say Yea, he worked with Brown"
"Yet Paul is able to sa "yea, he worked with Brown."
Thats an example of the kind of crossreferencing that I think is going to be vital in the piecing together of this entire story.
And its probably way too big for just one mans book (or actually several books), But Pauls diligent and careful view of Townsend Brown and the people around him will shed further light on everything that you have mentioned. And there is something special about uncovering facts for the families involved. Pauls book, even he has said, is actually a journey of sons and daughters to " discover" their fathers ( and mothers) actual history which would otherwise be lost forever.
And thanks to kevin in his latest post from the General Discussion this great quote came in our direction....................thanks Kevin for the heads up on this piece.

Vangard Note
There are those who intuitively understand much of what Keely's discoveries could lead to for us in this century. The correlations continue to amaze me and I have been studying Keely since I was 17 years old (over 20 years). (NOTE THE PHRASE "INTUITIVELY UNDERSTAND" Elizabeth)
Joel is one who can see the correlations and overlaps and indeed, PRIORITY OF DISCOVERY with regard to Keely's claims. In time, we will be able to elucidate many of these to a level that all can understand and empathize with based on their own studies. Keely, Russell, Tesla, Schauberger, Carr, Sweet, Hyde, Baumann, Laithwaite, Kidd, Les Brown, T.T. Brown and a host of others all provide pieces to the greater puzzles. The hard part is trying to be objective and not allowing ourselves to take the part of just one researcher as some kind of religion
(my note ....AND A HOST OF OTHERS ...... ALL PROVIDE PIECES ..... TO THE GREATER PUZZLE .......)
And adding the caution ....... the hard part is trying to be objective and NOT ALLOWING OURSELVES TO TAKE THE PART OF JUST ONE RESEARCHER AS SOME KIND OF RELIGION.
And as important as Pauls work is on Townsend Brown, he is not the only voice and face that needs to be heard and seen with fresh eyes.
