Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventor and businessman. He developed many devices in fields such as electric power generation, mass communication, sound recording, and motion pictures. These inventions, which include the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and early versions of the electric light bulb, have had a widespread impact on the modern industrialized world. He was one of the first inventors to apply the principles of organized science and teamwork to the process of invention, working with many researchers and employees. He established the first industrial research laboratory.

After hitting Edison a couple of weeks ago, I naturally turned my attention to Bell, wondering if he was the same sort of fraud.

Alexander Graham Bell (/ˈɡreɪ.əm/, born Alexander Bell; March 3, 1847 – August 2, 1922) was a Scottish-born Canadian-American inventor, scientist and engineer who is credited with patenting the first practical telephone. He also co-founded the American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) in 1885.

Thomas Alva Edison isn’t who we have been told – Library of Rickandria

Of course he was, even more so, and we should have known just from his name.

He was from the very wealthy Grahams and Bells of Edinburgh, also being a Melville.

We will look at his genealogy in a moment, but I want to encourage you to read his page at Wikipedia or Britannica, where they pretty much admit he was a fraud, without outright admitting it.

They give you all the information you need to come to the conclusion on your own.

Elisha Gray (August 2, 1835 – January 21, 1901) was an American electrical engineer who co-founded the Western Electric Manufacturing Company. Gray is best known for his development of a telephone prototype in 1876 in Highland Park, Illinois. Some recent authors have argued that Gray should be considered the true inventor of the telephone because Alexander Graham Bell allegedly stole the idea of the liquid transmitter from him. Although Gray had been using liquid transmitters in his telephone experiments for more than two years previously, Bell's telephone patent was upheld in numerous court decisions.  Gray is also considered to be the father of the modern music synthesizer and was granted over 70 patents for his inventions. He was one of the founders of Graybar, purchasing a controlling interest in the company shortly after its inception.

Many researchers have now admitted Bell stole the idea of his telephone from Elisha Gray and Amos Dolbear, and Wikipedia is forced to report that.

Amos Emerson Dolbear (/ˈeɪmɒs ˈɛmərsən ˈdɒlbɛər/;[1] November 10, 1837 – February 23, 1910) was an American physicist and inventor. Dolbear researched electrical spark conversion into sound waves and electrical impulses. He was a professor at University of Kentucky in Lexington from 1868 until 1874. In 1874 he became the chair of the physics department at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts. He is known for his 1882 invention of a system for transmitting telegraph signals without wires. In 1899 his patent for it was purchased in an unsuccessful attempt to interfere with Guglielmo Marconi's wireless telegraphy patents in the United States.

Amazing, because this history was kept under wraps for over a century by Bell Labs.

They didn't want anyone questioning mainstream history, and for a long time no one did.

But for whatever reason, these things are now coming out more broadly.

One of the side effects of an open internet, which we had for a while.

It is even now being shut down, but they haven't yet memory-holed things like this.

Guglielmo Giovanni Maria Marconi, 1st Marquis of Marconi GCVO FRSA (Italian: [ɡuʎˈʎɛlmo marˈkoːni]; 25 April 1874 – 20 July 1937) was an Italian inventor, electrical engineer, physicist, and politician, known for his creation of a practical radio wave–based wireless telegraph system. This led to Marconi being credited as the inventor of radio, and winning the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics with Karl Ferdinand Braun "in recognition of their contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy". His work laid the foundation for the development of radio, television, and all modern wireless communication systems. Marconi was also an entrepreneur, businessman, and founder of The Wireless Telegraph & Signal Company in the United Kingdom in 1897 (which became the Marconi Company). In 1929, Marconi was ennobled as a Marchese (marquis) by King Victor Emmanuel III of Italy, and, in 1931, he set up Vatican Radio for Pope Pius XI.

A similar thing they haven't yet memory-holed is that Marconi stole credit for inventing radio from Tesla.

Nikola Tesla (/ˈtɛslə/;[2] Serbian Cyrillic: Никола Тесла, [nǐkola têsla]; 10 July [O.S. 28 June] 1856 – 7 January 1943) was a Serbian-American engineer, futurist, and inventor. He is known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.

Like Bell and his people, Marconi was just a master of collecting patents and didn't invent anything.

Also, like Bell, Marconi was a noble with no formal education, his mother being a millionaire Jameson of Jameson whiskeys.

and MacKenzies (of Alloa, Scotland) of the British peerage, so it is the same people we will see below with Bell.

The Marconis were marquesses and bankers in Bologna.

Marconi also married a Gaelic peer, the daughter of Edward O'Brien, Baron Inchiquin, whose mother was a Fitzgerald.

Marconi was also a proud Fascist, and they even now claim he was an anti-Semite.

Ridiculous, since he was Jewish.

See the Steins, just above.

As we saw in my paper on Mussolini, Fascism never had anything to do with anti-Semitism, since Mussolini was Jewish himself, and married several Jews.

Benito Mussolini – Library of Rickandria

Fascism, like Nazism, was a cardboard front hiding the usual Phoenician actors, and Mussolini was bankrolled by British peers.

The BEER HALL PUTSCH was Faked! – Library of Rickandria

since they were also crypto-Jews.

More Nazi Fakes – Library of Rickandria

Nazism and Fascism were just controlled opposition from the beginning, created as the losing side in the war.

While we are on Marconi, you may be interested to know he was also involved in the Titanic fraud.

The Titanic: The Fraud that Keeps on Giving – Library of Rickandria

The two radio operators allegedly onboard were not employees of the shipowners, but of Marconi Radio.

He used the fake event as more self-promotion.

As with Edison and most of the others we have looked, we find they have manufactured an early bio for Bell, but it isn't convincing at all.

Another story made up by Horatio Alger, I guess.

Horatio Alger Jr. (/ˈældʒər/; January 13, 1832 – July 18, 1899) was an American author who wrote young adult novels about impoverished boys and their rise from humble backgrounds to middle-class security and comfort through good works. His writings were characterized by the "rags-to-riches" narrative, which had a formative effect on the United States from 1868 through to his death in 1899.

nothing tangible, just a lot of unverifiable jawing and unbelievable claims of genius.

The first thing they try to do is bury the name Graham, making you think it wasn't a family name.

Unlike his brothers, Bell was supposedly not given a middle name, but begged for one later, taking it from a family friend.

Right.

But they need to bury that name, although it has always been posted prominently (no one ever calls him Alexander Bell, do they?), because the Grahams are top Edinburgh nobles, first cousins of the Stuarts and all the other top names.

Despite being from these prominent families, Bell is scrubbed in three of eight lines at Geneastar, which is the first result we get at Bing.

Same at Geni, where his maternal line is scrubbed after his grandmother Mary White.

White is probably wrong as well.

His maternal grandfather Symonds is also scrubbed.

Very suspicious.

His paternal grandmother is also scrubbed, and we don't even know her mother's maiden name.

Same for her husband Colville.

In the Bell line, the Swans are soon scrubbed, going nowhere, and the Duncans and Starks also go nowhere.

The Bells in the 1700s are listed as shoemakers.

Right.

So, this genealogy is worthless.

Wikitree is just as bad.

What we are seeing is a complete information embargo.

We don't even find out where his brother Melville got that name.

No Melvilles are listed in these abbreviated ancestries.

So, let's go to thepeerage.com and see what we can tease out there.

The first thing we find is that Alexander is a common name of Bells in the peerage.

We find eleven, including many in the 19th century.

Three of them are from Aberdeen Park, London, and have links to Canada in those years.

Same for our Alex Bell, who lived in Canada on and off, even as a boy.

Then we have Alexander Bell of Blackethouse, in Middlebie, Dumfriesshire.

They were closely related to the Colquhoun-Stirling Murray-Dunlops, and were big merchants in Shanghai.

Note especially the name Murray, which we have discovered is equivalent now to Stanley.

Obama’s Genealogy & so much more – Library of Rickandria

We also find the Bells of Northumberland, related to the Middletons.

As in Kate Middleton.

Catherine, Princess of Wales (born Catherine Elizabeth Middleton; 9 January 1982), is a member of the British royal family. She is married to William, Prince of Wales, heir apparent to the British throne.

Sir John Charles Bell was Lord Mayor of London in 1907-8, becoming a baronet in the same years, but strangely he is also scrubbed by thepeerage.com.

Sir John Charles Bell, 1st Baronet (1843–1924) was a British businessman and Lord Mayor of London from 1907 to 1908.

No parents listed, which is not the norm for a baronet.

We also find Sir James Bell, also a baronet and Lord Provost of Glasgow from 1892-6.

He was a big ship owner and coal exporter, i.e. Phoenician Navy.

Where did ALL the Phoenicians Go? – Library of Rickandria

He is also scrubbed of parents, though his son married a Murray, linking us to the other Bells of the peerage.

And we have a third baronet created in the same period, Sir Henry Bell, of Surrey, whose daughter married a Fitzgerald.

He also is scrubbed of parents at both thepeerage and Wiki.

Also see the Baronet Sir Isaac Lowthian Bell, billionaire ironmaster from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, again from the same time as Alexander Graham Bell.

This Bell is the famous patron of William Morris and Byrne-Jones.

This Bell's partner was Robert Stirling Newall of Dundee, so we have that Stirling link again, indicating these are the same Bells.

Newall was also shipping partners with the Liddells, linking us to Lewis Carroll and forward to Joe Biden, who is a Liddell.

Sir Isaac Lowthian Bell, 1st Baronet, FRS (18 February 1816 – 20 December 1904) was a Victorian ironmaster and Liberal Party politician from Washington, County Durham, in the north of England. He was described as being "as famous in his day as Isambard Kingdom Brunel"

That's the great portrait of Lothian Bell by Frank Bramley.

Lothian Bell also started a big company with Charles Vane, Marquess of Londonderry.

Charles William Vane, 3rd Marquess of Londonderry, KG, GCB, GCH, PC (born Charles William Stewart; 1778–1854) was an Anglo-Irish nobleman, a British soldier and a politician. He served in the French Revolutionary Wars, in the suppression of the Irish Rebellion of 1798, and in the Napoleonic wars. He excelled as a cavalry commander in the Peninsular War (1807–1814) under John Moore and Arthur Wellesley (became Wellington in 1809).

A marquess is right under a duke, remember.

So, that's who these Bells in England and Scotland were at the time.

Lothian Bell's company was the first to smelter aluminum, adding to the already polluted skies of England in 1859.

We may assume this is one reason so many people had tuberculosis in those decades.

None of these smokestacks had scrubbers, of course, so heavy metals were raining down upon everyone all the time.

Even worse than now.

Gertrude Margaret Lowthian Bell CBE (14 July 1868 – 12 July 1926) was an English writer, traveller, political officer, administrator, and archaeologist. She spent much of her life exploring and mapping the Middle East and became highly influential to British imperial policymaking as an Arabist due to her knowledge and contacts built up through extensive travels.

Lothian Bell's daughter was the famous Gertrude Bell, involved in the Middle East as an advisor to King Faisal.

Faisal I bin al-Hussein bin Ali al-Hashemi (Arabic: فيصل الأول بن الحسين بن علي الهاشمي, Fayṣal al-Awwal bin al-Ḥusayn bin ʻAlī al-Hāshimī; 20 May 1885[1][2][4] – 8 September 1933) was King of Iraq from 23 August 1921 until his death in 1933. A member of the Hashemite family, he was a leader of the Great Arab Revolt during the First World War and ruled as the unrecognized King of the Arab Kingdom of Syria from March to July 1920 when he was expelled by the French.

She later was a key player in Baghdad, helping the Brits build the modern country of Iraq.

She also helped loot the area of antiquities for the British museums, while claiming she was protecting them.

They want us to think these Bells were Presbyterians, but we can be sure that isn't true.

They were Phoenician Navy, so children of El.

Saturn: Why Are We Worshiping the Cult of EL? – Library of Rickandria

The next obvious misdirection we find at Wiki is that they keep trying to make you think that despite dropping out of high school at age 15, Bell went to college anyway.

They bring up University College London twice, but we are given no evidence he graduated or even went there, so it is just a name dropping.

In that period, he was back and forth to Canada every other year, so he couldn't have been in college.

Strangely, we aren't told what his family was doing in Canada.

The second time they bought or built a house in Brantford, Ontario, naming it Melville House.

But again, no idea why it was named Melville.

They don't want you realizing the Bells were Melvilles, since that would undercut the story again.

They try to imply the Bells were in Canada to convalesce from tuberculosis, but you don't do that in Newfoundland.

You might as well convalesce from chilblains in Iceland or convalesce from sunburn in Libya.

They keep bringing up University College London because they don't want you to realize Bell had no education in anything except perhaps elocution for the deaf.

He had no courses in science, much less in electricity or engineering and hadn't even studied privately with anyone who did.

If we compare that to the guy, that he stole the telephone from, Elisha Gray, we find a big mismatch.

Although Gray was also a Phoenician, he at least had the education you would expect for this.

Gray taught electrical science at Oberlin College and actually built the laboratory equipment for its science departments.

Gray had more than 70 patents dating back to 1867, and his company had been providing telegraph equipment to Western Union since 1869.

What was Bell doing in those years?

Tapping messages to deaf students.

Up until 1873 and age 26 Bell was mostly an assistant to his father, relying on his father's contacts.

They were hired by Sarah Fuller at Horace Mann in Boston in 1871, and I guess you recognize both those names as big red flags.

As we have seen in many previous papers, the Fullers are a prominent family of spooks, and Horace Mann (d. 1859) was the same.

Horace Mann (May 4, 1796 – August 2, 1859) was an American educational reformer, slavery abolitionist and Whig politician known for his commitment to promoting public education, he is thus also known as The Father of American Education. In 1848, after public service as Secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Education, Mann was elected to the United States House of Representatives (1848–1853). From September 1852 to his death in 1859, he served as President of Antioch College.

They admit his ancestor was Dr. John Man, principal of Whitehall, Oxford, despite being expelled a couple of years earlier for heresy.

How does that work?

He is famous for calling the Pope a “canting little monk” in public.

As such, he was a favorite of Bishop Matthew Parker and Elizabeth I, since they were all still turning England Protestant.

Many of the top spook schools are named for Horace Mann, and that is no accident.

These Manns/Mans are of course from Isle of Man, linking them to the Stanleys.

Horace Mann is most famous for making public schools non-sectarian, meaning getting the church out of schools.

I used to think that was a good idea, but I am no longer so sure.

We are taught the separation of church and state as a progressive idea that is all good, but I now realize they were separated so that the church could be discontinued.

Horace Mann's ancestor John Man had been a leader in that old project to kill the church in England, and Horace was on the same project three hundred years later.

It is still going on, and it is still being sold as progress.

The reason I no longer see it as progress is that I now know why it has been done.

It isn't to make society more fair or diverse, as we have seen in thousands of pages of deep research. It is to destroy all religions so that they don't get in the way of trade, and to transfer the church's tithe to the government.

A 10% raise for the governors and you pay no more.

Brilliant, right?

Well, for them but not for you.

a misnamed humanism that is just a pretty front for worship of the state.

They want you bowing to no one but them.

Anyway, in the next year, at age 25, young Bell was set up in his own school by the wealthy Gardiner Greene Hubbard, whose daughter he soon married.

He is yet another big red flag here, one most don't know about.

All three of his names are peerage, since they come from three noble families.

The Gardiners we saw in my paper on the Titanic.

The Greenes are the Jewish Greens—see Mary Greene, b. 1733, below.

The Hubbards are scrubbed in Gardiner's line at Geni, but his wife was also a Hubbard, so he married a close cousin.

In her line we can take them back to wealthy West India merchant Daniel Hubbard.

Daniel Hubbard's grandmother was Mehitable Russell, linking us to the Russells of the peerage and therefore straight to the top.

They admit at Geni these Russells were also Nevilles, proving my point.

Another couple of steps back in the Hubbard line, we hit the Leveretts, one of them Governor of Massachusetts John Leverett, 1673-6.

He was also a Fisher.

Leverett=Levi.

Another step back and we hit John Rogers, President of Harvard.

In the Hubbard line, we finally go back to England, Tendring, Essex, and this Hubbard's wife was Judith Knapp.

At the time of Gardiner Hubbard, his cousin John Gellibrand Hubbard was the Baron Addington in London, being the director of the Reserve Bank of England.

and since the Bells and Claverings are related, we know Bell married a cousin.

and Campbells, Dukes of Argyll.

Gardiner Hubbard is the link between these schools for the deaf where Bell was working and Western Union, since he was promoting both of them as a wealthy Congressional lobbyist.

Gardiner Greene Hubbard (August 25, 1822 – December 11, 1897) was an American lawyer, financier, and community leader. He was a founder and first president of the National Geographic Society; a founder and the first president of the Bell Telephone Company which later evolved into AT&T, at times the world's largest telephone company; a founder of the journal Science; and an advocate of oral speech education for the deaf.  One of his daughters, Mabel Gardiner Hubbard, married Alexander Graham Bell.

During the late 1860s, Hubbard lobbied Congress to pass the U.S. Postal Telegraph Bill known as the Hubbard Bill.

The bill would have chartered the U.S. Postal Telegraph Company that would be connected to the U.S. Post Office, but the bill did not pass.

To benefit from the Bill, Hubbard needed patents which dominated essential aspects of telegraph technology such as sending multiple messages simultaneously on a single telegraph wire.

This was called the "harmonic telegraph" or acoustic telegraphy.

Hmmm.

Sort of suspicious, ain't it?

So, one year Hubbard is bankrolling the young Bell in a school for the deaf, and the next year Bell suddenly files a patent for the telephone, in a field Hubbard is also actively promoting?

Did you think it was Bell who organized Bell Telephone?

Hubbard organized the Bell Telephone Company on July 9, 1877, with himself as president, Thomas Sanders as treasurer and Bell as 'Chief Electrician'.

Two days later, he became the father-in-law of Bell when his daughter, Mabel Hubbard, married Bell on July 11, 1877.

Mabel Gardiner Hubbard Bell (November 25, 1857 – January 3, 1923) was an American businesswoman, and the daughter of Boston lawyer Gardiner Green Hubbard. She was the wife of Alexander Graham Bell, inventor of the first practical telephone.

I told you; the dirty laundry is now hanging right out in the open.

Wikipedia is an open oyster for those such as me.

Jimmy Wales & the founding of Wikipedia: All the World’s a Stage – Library of Rickandria

Hubbard also became a principal investor in the Edison Speaking Phonograph Company.

When Edison neglected development of the phonograph, which at its inception was barely functional, Hubbard helped his son-in-law, Alexander Graham Bell, organize a competing company in 1881 that developed wax-coated cardboard cylinders and disks for used on a graphophone.

These improvements were invented by Alexander Bell's cousin Chester Bell, a chemist,

Chichester Alexander Bell (1848 – 11 March 1924) was an Irish engineer and inventor. He was a cousin of Alexander Graham Bell and was instrumental in developing the graphophone.


and Charles Sumner Tainter, an optical instrument maker,

Charles Sumner Tainter (April 25, 1854 – April 20, 1940) was an American scientific instrument maker, engineer and inventor, best known for his collaborations with Alexander Graham Bell, Chichester Bell, Alexander's father-in-law Gardiner Hubbard, and for his significant improvements to Thomas Edison's phonograph, resulting in the Graphophone, one version of which was the first Dictaphone.

at Alexander Graham Bell's Volta Laboratory in Washington, D.C. Hubbard and Chester Bell approached Edison about combining their interests, but Edison refused, [9] resulting in the Volta Laboratory Association merging the shares of their Volta Graphophone Company with the company that later evolved into Columbia Records in 1886.

I think we may assume Hubbard and the Bells also stole those improvements from someone.

Someone besides Edison.

In 1874, out of the blue, we are told Bell, age 27, began working on a “harmonic telegraph”.

We are told drawings and notes exist from this period, but none are posted, and I doubt anyone has ever seen them.

Up to that time all of Bell's work had been in working with the deaf, not in electronics.

But since we are now less than two years away from the invention of the telephone, they have to make up something.

We are told Bell mentioned to Hubbard he was working on a “multi-reed device”, and that Hubbard agreed to bankroll him.

In 1875 Bell hired Thomas Watson, and we are told the two of them began experimenting with acoustic telegraphy.

Thomas Augustus Watson (January 18, 1854 – December 13, 1934) was an assistant to Alexander Graham Bell, notably in the invention of the telephone in 1876.

We are told he had a patent drawn up by the end of the same year (wow, that was fast!), but we don't get to see that one.

In 1875, Bell developed an acoustic telegraph and drew up a patent application for it.

Since he had agreed to share U.S. profits with his investors Gardiner Hubbard and Thomas Sanders, Bell requested that an associate in Ontario, George Brown, attempt to patent it in Britain, instructing his lawyers to apply for a patent in the U.S. only after they received word from Britain (Britain would issue patents only for discoveries not previously patented elsewhere). [85]

George Brown (November 29, 1818 – May 9, 1880) was a British-Canadian journalist, politician and one of the Fathers of Confederation. He attended the Charlottetown (September 1864) and Quebec (October 1864) conferences. A noted Reform politician, he is best known as the founder and editor of the Toronto Globe, Canada's most influential newspaper at the time, and his leadership in the founding of the Liberal Party in 1867. He was an articulate champion of the grievances and anger of Upper Canada (Ontario). He played a major role in securing national unity. His career in active politics faltered after 1865, but he remained a powerful spokesman for the Liberal Party. He promoted westward expansion and opposed the policies of Conservative Prime Minister John A. Macdonald.

That makes no sense.

It implies he was trying to undercut Hubbard and his other investors, which could never have worked regardless.

And of course we aren't told what happened in England.

This story is obviously made up to fill the delay between 1875 and March 1876, when the patent was granted in the US.

We do get to see that one, but it doesn't matter since they admit Elisha Gray had filed the same patent three weeks earlier.

They then tell us Bell's lawyer filed his patent the same morning, just hours before Gray did.

What are the effing odds?

The patent examiner, Zenas Fisk Wilber, later stated in an affidavit that he was an alcoholic who was much in debt to Bell's lawyer, Marcellus Bailey, with whom he had served in the Civil War.

He claimed he showed Gray's patent caveat to Bailey.

Wilber also claimed (after Bell arrived in Washington D.C. from Boston) that he showed Gray's caveat to Bell, and that Bell paid him $100 (equivalent to $2,700 in 2022).

So, there you go.

Bell's patent was a copy job and nothing more.

A brazen steal, obtained by bribing the patent examiner.

We may assume that has happened thousands of times and is the norm not the exception.

Bell later admitted that he talked to Wilber about Gray's patent but denied giving him money.

That denial sorta rings hollow, don't it?

I wonder how long Wilber lived after that, don't you?

Died of liver failure from alcoholism within a couple of years, is my guess.

Here's another way we know this was all a fraud and Bell just a front.

They tell us Bell did quite well from his invention and was worth almost a million dollars at his peak.

What?

Even after paying investors, he should have been worth hundreds of millions.

It reminds us of the Beatles and Elvis, who we are told sold or signed away most of their publishing rights for a pittance.

Elvis Aron Presley: Intelligence Project – Library of Rickandria

we are told that when Bell married Mabel Hubbard right after the founding of Bell TC, he gave her as a wedding present 99% of his stock shares.

According to the property laws of the time, that was meaningless, since as the husband he would have still owned them.

It only makes sense if she then gave the stock to her father, which is my guess is what happened.

It is the only way to explain how Bell came away with so little.

Bell wasn't too busy with his new company, since he immediately took the year off, taking a 12-month “honeymoon”.

First year of the biggest company of all time, and he is gone to Capri.

More confirmation comes from the claim that Bell's main source of income for the next twenty years was from lecturing.

What?

Not from Bell telephone?

On January 13, 1887, the U.S. Government moved to annul the patent issued to Bell on the grounds of fraud and misrepresentation.

After a series of decisions and reversals, the Bell company won a decision in the Supreme Court, though a couple of the original claims from the lower court cases were left undecided. [117][118]

The Supremes – Library of Rickandria

By the time that the trial wound its way through nine years of legal battles, the U.S. prosecuting attorney had died and the two Bell patents (No. 174,465 dated March 7, 1876, and No. 186,787 dated January 30, 1877) were no longer in effect, although the presiding judges agreed to continue the proceedings due to the case's importance as a precedent.

With a change in administration and charges of conflict of interest (on both sides) arising from the original trial, the US Attorney General dropped the lawsuit on November 30, 1897, leaving several issues undecided on the merits. [119]

Almost eleven years and five Supreme Court cases and nothing was ever decided?

That's what money can buy you.

Bell's daughter Elsie married Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor, of that high-ranking noble family, proving again the Bells were of that ilk.

Gilbert Hovey Grosvenor (/ˈɡroʊvənər/ GROH-vən-ər; October 28, 1875 – February 4, 1966), was the first full-time editor of the National Geographic magazine (1899–1954). Grosvenor is credited with having consolidated the nascent magazine.  As President of the National Geographic Society (1920-1954), he assisted its rise to one of the world's largest and best-known science and learning organizations, aided by the chronicling in its magazine of ambitious natural and cultural explorations around the globe.

Grosvenor was the second cousin of President Taft.

William Howard Taft (September 15, 1857 – March 8, 1930) was the 27th president of the United States, serving from 1909 to 1913, and the tenth chief justice of the United States, serving from 1921 to 1930, the only person to have held both offices. Taft was elected president in 1908, the chosen successor of Theodore Roosevelt, but was defeated for reelection in 1912 by Woodrow Wilson after Roosevelt split the Republican vote by running as a third-party candidate. In 1921, President Warren G. Harding appointed Taft to be chief justice, a position he held until a month before his death.

Also note his middle name, no doubt linking us to parricide Johnny Hovey of Albuquerque, who I outed as a fake years ago, embarrassing Benjamin Radford of Skeptical Enquirer in the process.

Your Fake Local News – Library of Rickandria

Grosvenor was head of National Geographic for 55 years, and we are supposed to think that was due to Bell.

It wasn't.

It was due again to Hubbard, who was the founder of the National Geographic Society.

Also of great interest to us here is the fact that Grosvenor named his son. . . Melville Bell Grosvenor.

Melville Bell Grosvenor (November 26, 1901 – April 22, 1982) was the president of the National Geographic Society and editor of The National Geographic Magazine from 1957 to 1967. He was the grandson of telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell.

So you see again how important that name was to the Bell family.

Melville Grosvenor named his son Gilbert Melville Grosvenor.

Gilbert Melville Grosvenor (born May 5, 1931) is an American geographer and editor, who served as the former president and chairman of the National Geographic Society, who previously served as the editor of National Geographic magazine. Now largely retired, Grosvenor and his wife Wiley live in Virginia.

Grosvenor's cousins in England at the time were the Barons Stalbridge and the Marquesses of Westminster, related immediately to the Hamiltons and Leveson-Gowers.

Also, to the Sutherlands and Egertons.

Therefore. . . the Grosvenors were more cousins of the Bells.

We already saw Alexander Graham Bell was related to the Sutherlands.

Which means the Grosvenors were also Melvilles themselves.

Also,

In short, everyone.
