Melvyn Kra
Melvyn Kra is a philosopher of technology and social and cultural entrepreneur best known for his involvement in the development of the revolutionary and controversial technology ‘Advanced Information Energy’(AdIE). Recently the relationship of Kra’s Mustard Entity with Lehman Brothers bank was identified as a critical factor in the 2008 failure of the bank and the subsequent global financial crash.

Practical and technological applications of Quantum Gravity Theory, Philosophy of the use of technology

History;
Melvyn Kra was the driving force behind the development of AdIE – a group of technologies principally concerned with advances in the field of Quantum Gravity and its practical application in energy, communication and propulsion. His development program was administered and funded through the organisation ‘The Mustard Entity’.

The Mustard Entity ceased its activities due to the Global financial crisis in September 2008 and collapse of Lehman Brothers bank, its financial backers.

Identity;
Little is known of Melvyn Kra other than his involvement in the Mustard Entity and AdIE.

He has not disclosed any personal information publicly to date and little other than speculation is known of his past.

The name is possibly a pseudonym, if so his real identity remains unknown.

There has been speculation of a link between Kra and the American professor of history of technology, Melvin Kranzberg, who was one of the founders of the Society for the History of Technology. This may be solely due to similarity in the names. Kranzberg is deceased, therefore it may be that Kra was a student or a young colleague who later chose the pseudonym as an homage to the professor.

Aims;
Melvyn Kra’s primary aim was to ensure that under developed regions of the world would benefit from AdIE before the West and other developed regions. His objective was to guarantee that the huge potential of the technology would benefit the whole world and not just those regions of the world that are already wealthy. Such a strategy was intended to fundamentally change the world’s economic systems and usher in a new technological era which would free human potential from the bounds of the present free market economic order.

Lehman Brothers Bankruptcy;
Evidence in the Bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers files, overlooked until now, has led to speculation that may resolve questions surrounding the failure of the bank. Specifically the US Treasury and Federal Reserve Bank’s decision to allow Lehman Brothers to fail, instead of the anticipated bailout.

In view of the catastrophic effects of the collapse of the bank, there has been a great deal of speculation about an official cover-up.

This has been explored By Terrence Digby in an expose of the events surrounding the failure of the bank – ‘The Day Wall Street Killed the Future’ Link to Digby article here; https://terrancedigby.wixsite.com/thetruthlies/single-post/2018/03/05/The-Day-Wall-Street-Killed-the-Future He postulates that the bank’s involvement with The Mustard Entity made it a target of the US Government in an attempt to acquire the AdIE technology and that this led to the downfall of Lehman Brothers.

Advanced Information Energy;
AdIE was said to promise a golden age of human achievement with possibilities so far reaching that it would change the scope of the future of humanity. On the most basic level the technology provides ultra-efficient, clean energy produced at the point of use, which would replace all existing forms of energy generation. This will combine with new forms of information processing and communications, rendering electronics as we know it obsolete, including computers, computing and the internet. Transportation will be revolutionised by a new form of propulsion which would replace most existing forms.

For the near future AdIE offers the possibility of a great journey of discovery – interstellar travel and exploration of the galaxy could be possible within thirty to fifty years.

Disinformation and Fake News;
It is disputed that Melvyn Kra exists or that his organisation The Mustard Entity or the Technology, Adie, has ever existed. Some have suggested as far back as 2008 that Kra was an invention of US Government departments and/or Wall Street banks as a smokescreen to distract attention from the criminal activity of both that led to the collapse of Lehman Brothers bank. Others have said that Kra is a recent invention – a piece of fake news with no substance or evidence to support it.
