Reader's Digest? No wonder. You've been trained not to think clearly from the youngest age. No wonder you progressed to La Rouche. It may take years of deprogramming for you to regain the ability to think for yourself in a logical manner. Even then it may not be possible. .

>>Before that I learned electricity using Van Valkenburgh "Basic Electricity" books. The US Navy started putting electric and electronic system inside the ships in WWII. The sailors needed a crash course to install, maintain and operate the gear. Van Valkenburgh "Basic Electricity" books were used to train them.<< My high school library had some US Navy electronics books. I studied them and learned about resistors, diodes, capacitors, transformers, and transistors, etc. Then I built a few small projects from scratch, including a transistor radio. The world was moving from vacuum tubes to "solid state" electronics then, and the potential seemed unlimited.
