With all the Q stuff unfolding on the WH X, it's just wild how everything is progressing.

Show me any technology that isn't true (i.e., conforms to reality). When relativity makes a difference, it is factored in (e.g., GPS).
Bogus technologies like internal combustion engines running on water never make it to market. This distraction and waste of time only comes about through the promulgation of mythology like "Tesla secrets," "reverse-engineered alien technology," and the allegation of "secret stuff." I have an open mind on "free energy"...if only someone could show that it existed. All our energy sources are known. But people who purport to know something frequently do not (count the number of times people suppose that holograms can be projected into open space).
New technologies do make it to the market. Even ones reasonably held secret (nuclear energy, spaceflight, high-power lasers).
You are assuming what you purport to prove. Cutting-edge technology may be relegated to small circles, but that has always been the case in (e.g.) physics. The small circles talk with each other and exchange information. That is how progress is made. All this idea of suppression is only imaginary.
Look, I apologize if I wasn't clear and I seemed to be going on about all that free energy quackery to you. That wasn't my point. What I'm talking about are the clandestine struggles to control the timing of scientific and technological advancements to maximise greater strategic goals. You mentioned the market, and that is key. Please consider the parallels and contrasts between how a benevolent good actor would employ control over "reasonably held secrets" that eventually make it to the market, and the darker methods that a malicious bad actor with no moral restraints might employ. For even the market itself can and is used as strategic-level weapon.
You are lost in your own myth-making. The most notable "reasonably held secret" was nuclear energy, and it got to market in 1957 with the Shippingport Atomic Power Station, developed from reactor designs that had gone into our nuclear submarines. Industrial lasers were available as soon as the technology permitted (I was hand-zapped by one in the mid-1970s). The military developed the integrated circuit, famously involved in our space program of the 1960s, which emerged into the computer market afterward, where it quickly became the core of pocket computers in the 1970s. I can't think of a single example to fit your paradigm of a secret technology withheld from the public market, for anything but a trivial interval. I've worked with secret technological programs. They don't behave like you imagine. Plenty of secret applications, but few cases of an actual technology being "withheld." I gather from our conversation, you can't name any examples. Just imaginary hypotheticals. And I have no conception of how the free market can be used as a "strategic weapon".
