<strong>The</strong> Third Interview of Dr. Jamisson <strong>Neruda</strong><br />
WingmakersTM<br />
Dr. <strong>Neruda</strong>: “I got off track a bit. Mr. Shockley was introduced to the SPL and was<br />
made privy to many of the secret initiatives of the SPL. If not for his personality traits,<br />
he would’ve been recruited to join the SPL, he was that brilliant. Anyway, he was given<br />
access to some of the research in field effect transistors that was underway within the<br />
SPL. This was before the Bell Labs’ discovery of the joint transistor, which was made<br />
by colleagues of Mr. Shockley.<br />
“Mr. Shockley was allowed to utilize some of the research within the SPL to create his<br />
own version of the field effect transistor and become widely known as its inventor.<br />
This was done in exchange for his cooperation in helping Army and Navy strategic<br />
operations during the war. He was aware of the SPL and knew part of their agenda,<br />
and I was told that he wanted to join the SPL after the war because of its superior<br />
laboratories, but again, his personality traits prevented his admission.”<br />
Sarah: “So, Bell Labs receives the patent for the transistor in exchange for Shockley’s<br />
assistance with the war. What exactly did he do that was so important”<br />
Dr. <strong>Neruda</strong>: “I don’t know for certain, but in general, his role was helping to optimize<br />
weapons deployment.”<br />
Sarah: “What was the role of the NSA during all of this”<br />
Dr. <strong>Neruda</strong>: “<strong>The</strong> NSA wasn’t in existence until November 1952. During this time,<br />
the SPL and ACIO were the two most advanced, secretive labs in existence. And they<br />
each had only one private sector lab they worked with: Bell Labs. And this is because<br />
Mr. Kelly was a friend with the executive director of the SPL.”<br />
Sarah: “So what was the relationship between the SPL and ACIO”<br />
Dr. <strong>Neruda</strong>: “You mean in the 1940s”<br />
Sarah: “First, how far back does it go”<br />
Dr. <strong>Neruda</strong>: “<strong>The</strong> SPL was formed in 1938. <strong>The</strong>re was a strong development—<br />
particularly throughout Europe—in fission energy. <strong>The</strong> SPL was initially conceived to<br />
examine fission as an alternative energy source as well as its possible military<br />
applications.”<br />
Sarah: “Why was it kept so secret”<br />
Dr. <strong>Neruda</strong>: “In the late 1930s there was significant political unrest in Europe, and the<br />
U.S. wasn’t sure whom it could trust. It had a notion that fission was the answer to<br />
superior technical warfare, and didn’t want to share it unwittingly. It was also alarmed<br />
at some of the sudden advances that were taking place in the European physics<br />
