Jewish Invention Myths: The Mobile/Cell Phone
The ‘Mobile Phone’ or ‘Cell Phone’ is one of those inventions that jews like to routinely claim ‘they’ invented so lets disabuse them of this jewish invention myth: shall we?
We begin with quoting Aish’s claim that:
‘Credit engineers at Motorola’s Israel research and development center for coming up with the original cell-phone technology. “From the tool that guards your mobile identity to a new keyboard solution, Israeli expertise keeps your phone from getting bigger yet staying cutting edge,” according to ISRAEL21c.’ (1)
Stephen Pollard writing at ‘The Jewish Chronicle’ agrees by stating:
‘Now, of course, we use phones instead. Who came up with the technology behind mobiles? Engineers at Motorola’s Israel research and development centre.’ (2)
‘MNEws’ however has a completely different story crediting Amos Edward Joel Jr. instead of nebulous statements about the alleged contributions of ‘Motorola’s Israel Research and Development Center’:
‘Amos Edward Joel Jr. – Cell phone
Inventor Amos Joel is one of the cellular industry pioneers. He is an engineer who paved the way for virtually all of today's mobile communications giants, who discovered and developed what he called a mechanism for handoff in cellular communication. The latter technology made it possible to maintain a conversation while traveling from one area to another.’ (3)
Now let’s get into the historical reality: shall we?
It all begins with Professor Albert Jahn and the Oakland Transcontinental Aerial Telephone and Power Company claimed to have developed a wireless mobile telephone in 1908 and were subject to a court case in July of that year questioning whether this was indeed true or a fraud. Jahn and the Oakland Transcontinental Aerial Telephone and Power Company won their case according to the ‘San Francisco Call’ of 7th July 1908, but we hear no more about the invention after this. (4)
The first confirmed working mobile phone was created and tested by Finnish inventor Eric Tigerstedt in 1917. (5) This was described as a ‘pocket-size, folding telephone with a very thin carbon microphone’ on the successful patent application and clearly describes something very like a modern mobile phone. (6)
This was then officially tested by the German army in 1918 and was a success.
The ‘Deutsche Telefon Museum’ writes how (my translation):
‘Wireless telephony in traffic with moving railway trains was tested on the Berlin-Zossen military railway line.’ (7)
After World War I Tigerstedt’s system was refined and implement on German’s railway system as a perk for first-class travellers between Berlin and Hamburg in 1926.
To quote ‘Informationszentrum Mobilfunk’:
‘In 1925, the company Zugtelephonie AG was founded to supply train-telephony equipment and in 1926 a telephone service in trains of the Deutsche Reichsbahn and the German mail service on the route between Hamburg and Berlin was approved and offered to first-class travellers.’ (8)
Development continued and by 1948:
‘A&T introduced Mobile Telephone Service to one hundred towns and highway corridors by 1948. Mobile Telephone Service was a rarity with only 5,000 customers placing about 30,000 calls each week. Calls were set up manually by an operator and the user had to depress a button on the handset to speak and release the button to listen.’ (9)
We then move to the development of the modern mobile/cell phone which was first premiered in 1973 with the well-known story of Martin Cooper of Motorola calling Joel Engel of Bell Labs (his rival) on 3rd April 1973 to tell him that he (Cooper) had ‘beaten’ Engel to inventing the mobile phone. (10)
Both Cooper and Engel were jewish.
This is of course incorrect since Cooper hadn’t ‘invented’ the mobile as Tigerstedt had invented that in 1917, but rather what Cooper claimed to have invented was the cell phone (i.e., which used cellular not just wireless technology) which we’d consider the modern mobile phone.
The problem with this is that it isn’t actually true since Rudy Krolopp – Motorola’s Industrial Design Direct (and Cooper’s direct subordinate) – was the person who actually created and designed the first mobile phone, (11) while Cooper’s boss at Motorola John Francis Mitchell is widely credited for the invention of cellular phone technology not Cooper. (12)
Cooper was the one who ‘took the credit’ rather than actually did the work and was merely the public relations face of the invention by placing the first cell phone call to Joel Engel of Bell Labs on 3rd April 1973. (13)
Now let’s come back to Aish and Pollard’s claim that ‘Motorola’s Israel Research and Development Center’ was responsible for the invention of the mobile/cell phone: their source leads back to a page which doesn’t mention cell or mobiles phone or the associated technology. (14) Nor can I find any actual evidence that this has ever been argued in any meaningful way other than just assertion.
As to ‘MNews’’ claim about Amos Edward Joel Jr.: his invention was a way in which a cell phone could switch between different cell towers without interpreting the call in 1972. (15) While this is indeed important it simply doesn’t equate to ‘inventing the mobile or cell phone’.
Therefore, we can see that the true creator of the mobile phone was the Finnish inventor Eric Tigerstedt in 1917 and the cell phone variant of the mobile phone was invented by Rudy Krolopp and John Francis Mitchell not by Martin Cooper.
Scratch another jewish invention myth!
