Breakthrough Tech gets Investment Fund

 From Jeanne Manning's "Aether or..." substack: BTIF founders focus on altruism, open-sourcing, and vetting of working inventions. Jeanne Manning/Nov 21, 2025
When I saw Drs. John H. Reed and Nick Begich, Sr. (picture left) in serious conversation across a small dinner table in a convention center’s restaurant, I sensed good news.
I had worked closely with Nick three decades ago on a book project, appreciated his integrity, and always enjoyed reconnecting. In recent years I realized that John is equally a principled humanitarian. So whatever they were brewing could probably benefit the world.
My intuition turned out to be correct.
That day, each of them had attended the panel on ‘free energy’ organized by Toby Grotz as a final event of July’s USPA (United States Psychotronics Association) conference in Illinois.
After each panel member had our say, the audience questioned why a shift to truly clean energy was so slow in coming. They heard many reasons. Yet they were reminded that open-sourcing of a breakthrough invention–even the simple circuit described by one participant–could help lead to the long-awaited beginning.
Amid further lively debate, Nick had stood up and made a generous offer of $50,000 seed money to start such an invention on its way to the goal, if it met necessary requirements. And the money would come out of his own funds, to benefit the greater good.
That lit the fire. As I remember, everyone started talking at the same time.
Nick Begich and John Reed later told me what happened after we left that panel-discussion room, and this week I spoke with each of them again–first Nick who was working on a project in Colombia, then John in Eastern USA–and asked for more details.
In the hotel after the panel event, John had approached Nick and offered to match his $50,000 if they set up an appropriate legal entity. And they did talk for hours, first in the hotel and then after they returned to their home states.
They set up a new company called Breakthrough Technologies Investment Fund (BTIF) LLC, which they funded with $100,000.00.
I wasn’t too surprised. I’ll tell you more about why I sensed a change-making partnership forming in that hotel restaurant in July.
First, here is the gist of the announcement placed in the USPA newsletter this fall:
Their new company was established for the development and production of highly innovative devices in the psychotronics, healing, and new energy fields.
Reed and Begich together are providing $100,000 as initial investment funds for inventors and developers of such devices. They have generously offered that any net income or other benefits from investments of their initial $100,000 will go to USPA (United States Psychotronics Association.)
BTIF will consider proposals for several types of devices. The founders hope that others with a strong interest in development of breakthrough technologies in the beneficial psychotronics, healing, and new energy fields will join with BTIF, so that the investment fund can grow and be able to fund even more inventors and startup companies.
(The health, wellness, and healing devices category is better-known, but if you’re unfamiliar with psychotronics, that category means technologies that beneficially affect the brain and mind.
“These would include devices whose use will enhance memory, intelligence, learning, or knowledge acquisition; enhance psychic abilities of any kind, such as remote viewing, telepathy, psychometry, or spiritual healing; enhance the placebo and other mind-body effects to treat one’s own diseases and disorders.”)
Readers of Aether or… may be most interested in the third category– New Energy and Propulsion Devices.
“This would include any device that generates usable electricity or propulsion operating on new principles of energy production, such as zero-point energy, vacuum energy, magnetic fields, anti-gravity, water as fuel, nitrogen as fuel, or any other ‘free energy’ method.”
“The development and production of any of these devices could potentially have a dramatic effect on the betterment and advancement of humanity. So if you have developed or are developing any such device, or know someone else who has done so, please send us information or a proposal, and we will follow up with you.”
“Proposals and applications for funding are being accepted, but with the clear understanding that any funding is contingent upon thorough due diligence.”
The announcement ended with, “Please send all communications by email, with attachments, if necessary, to John H. Reed, M.D. at joreed43@gmail.com. You can also phone 443-858-0757. Our mailing address is: Breakthrough Technologies Investment Fund, 6800 Roosevelt Ave., #701, Allen Park, MI 48101.”...

Dan Rodgers guest posts from Jeane Manning's "Aether or..." substack (Score: 1)

(User Info | Send a Message) http://www.zpenergy.com | These are two highly recommended posts (by guest Dan Rodgers) I just found on Jeane Manning's "Aether or..." substack. Below is just an extract from Jeane's posts:
...Dan Rodgers created a website with a university-level course on the topic. His own summary of his recent article says it best:
“This essay presents an alternative framework for achieving a technological Golden Age grounded in energy abundance, applied intelligence, and an ingenuity mindset—with freedom preservation not as afterthought but as foundational architecture.
“Drawing on ancient unified field theories, decentralized organizational innovation, and philosophical traditions spanning millennia, it argues that genuine flourishing requires not just new capabilities, but fundamentally different power structures: open rather than proprietary, distributed rather than centralized, wisdom-oriented rather than merely capability-driven.
“The choice between conventional and alternative paths will determine whether breakthrough technology concentrates or distributes power—and whether our Golden Age serves human freedom or its erosion.”
The Freedom Equation: Energy, Intelligence, and the Ingenuity to Build a Golden Age by Dan Rodgers
...
and the next guest article:
...First, a thought-provoking guest post concludes this week. It’s about whether breakthrough technology will concentrate power or distribute it, “and whether our Golden Age serves human freedom or its erosion.” Last week in Part 1, Dan Rodgers wrote about Energy as Liberation, as a First Pillar. The Second Pillar was about “Applied Intelligence.” He said applied intelligence is not about building smarter machines. Instead it elevates, rather than replaces, the distinctly-human capacities for creativity, judgment, empathy, and moral reasoning. From his introduction: “The choice between conventional and alternative paths will determine whether breakthrough technology concentrates or distributes power—and whether our Golden Age serves human freedom or its erosion.”
