Technologically or Scientifically, where do things stand if picrel has been in effect since the 1950's?
At the end of 2007, there was atleast 5000 of them and a comparable amount aren't produced with government support.

>hey I just invented something wonderful
>this is going to make life better for everyone and put the politically connected corporations out of business
>better go patent it
your patent is declared "a danger to our democracy" and made top secret

>hey I just invented something wonderful
>this is going to make life better for everyone and put the politically connected corporations out of business
>better not go patent it and avoid the invention secrecy act pitfall
your invention is stolen by the politically connected corporations and you get no compensation because you failed to patent it

even though it was before the invention secrecy act, the wright brothers still failed to earn a single penny off invented the airplane. the courts all colluded against them and the smithsonian institution even refused to recognize the wrights as the inventors until the 1940s, after all their patents had expired

meyer lansy's jewish organized crime gang took over the government in early 1940s, passed laws like that subsequently

so about 100 patents are stolen via this mechanism annually or 2 per week

If you just publish it then it cant be patented by anyone. Its out just public knowledge

No big deal, just the fact that our rate of technological progress can be artificially stifled by dickheads.*

This is why you don't patent.
5002 is comically minimal you need more than 200000 just for 5G.

It's just military shit, mostly. With most national security related R&D being done by private companies it's hardly surprising that inventions are generated without government support, even if they ultimately end up being used for government contracts further down the line

5000 is an almost comically low number of patents (more than 600,000 total were filed in FY 2022 alone) and if they were actually hiding some major conspiracy there would be much more, or they'd be hiding the situation entirely rather than leave cryptic hints for conspiratorial anti-semites to piece together the truth.

it's not only that, science is also being sidetracked by handpicking few dozens in the generation for top secret projects and pushing everyone else into unimaginative soul draining "researches" of obvious and well known stuff
