The Adventurers, The Uneducatable, And The Cultists

Nuclear technology is the worst menace, cloudbusters are second, and electromagnetic technology is in third place as a threat to the biospheric energy functioning.

Cloudbusters are desperately needed to offset the damage from nukes, but in the hands of all the crackpots, conspiracy-freaks, mystics, and mechanistic "alternative science" inventors like Jerry Decker and his friends, or these "Weather Rangers" types, they have been transformed into an environmental danger second only to the nuclear industry itself.

I am going to write quite a lot about these internet mechanists and their electronic "weather control" adventurism. They do not really have an effective technology, but they should be exposed anyway, because if they are not contrasted to the atmospheric medicine concept that should underly any attempt to intervene in weather functioning, sooner or later someone will start to follow their lead using real cloudbusters. And that could be the worst catastrophe since the Klimasturtz 5,350 years ago.

 I have now read nearly everything David Wells has written on weather and there is no convincing such people of anything. He is a control-freak and wants to be in control. Such people are not reformable.

There are some small children who like to blow soap bubbles to watch them and enjoy how pretty they look and are sad when the bubble breaks. There are other small children who like to break soap bubbles. Those kids grow up to be the people like David Wells. They like to smash anything alive and healthy and natural.

Look at all the gloating he does about being able to control weather. Look at how he thinks everything the atmosphere does should be under control. Look at how he shows no awareness at all that the atmosphere is anything other than a dead, non-living, mass of inert gases, instead of an alive energetic continuum with the same basic characteristics as himself. 

There is no way anyone could ever convince him to leave it alone unless it needs his help. There is no way to convince such people that the atmosphere is capable of self-regulation, and that the only reason to intervene in that is when it becomes sick, which is usually due to something humans have done to it. 

To do weather working responsibly requires first, to understand the normal atmosphere, how it functions when it is acting normally. Then, after you understand that, you next study what can go wrong with it, what causes droughts, excessive cold, floods, and more than normal numbers of tornadoes, etc. Then, after you know how to diagnose the problems, then you can usually figure out what to do to repair it and restore things to normal. That is the proper goal. After that has been done, it can then be left alone to take care of itself. 

David Wells and his followers do not see any of that. They see the normal atmosphere, the natural conditions under which we evolved and to which we are best adapted, the conditions which are therefore best for our lives, as something alien, dangerous, and inconvenient. And they see nothing wrong with changing it to make it more to their liking. 

This is the same attitude as the people who think there is nothing wrong with damming rivers, strip-mining the earth, clear-cutting forests, and catching every fish in the oceans. They are spoiled brats at heart, who think everything in the world was put here for them and they can do as they please with it. 

They cannot understand that the severe weather events that the evening news tells them are a disaster, are really a healthy reaction of the atmosphere to try to get rid of some of the pollution and stagnation that human technologies have put into it and are causing more troubles than the severe storms ever could. 

It is like treating a patient with a fever. It may sometimes be necessary to cool him off, but the fever itself is not the illness. The fever is a fighting response of the body to something that is a real danger to it, and to just give every patient who has a high temperature a drug to lower his temperature without knowing or caring what the cause of the fever might be, is not a good way to practice medicine.

And the really hard part to understand, is that David Wells and his followers CANNOT LEARN this sort of thing; they are not capable of learning to think of the atmosphere as a living thing, with moods, attitudes, and reactions to stimuli. Think of some people you have known who like to hunt animals for sport. Do you think you could ever convince them animals are able to feel pain? That animals have rights? That killing animals for fun indicates the same sort of personality as killing humans for fun? People who hunt for fun have a blind spot when it comes to empathizing with animals. And weather-control freaks have exactly the same kind of blind spot when it comes to realizing that the atmosphere is a living thing and should be treated accordingly. 

So, forget trying to convince David Wells. He and the  kind of people he will attract with his "control the weather" ideology are a part of the problem, part of the way the humans are destroying this planet, along with the nuclear reactors, the nuclear weapons stockpiles, the loggers and strip-miners and commercial fishing fleets, and they will never be anything else. 

And the people who have somehow retained at least a bit of contact with their deep feelings, and still have an awareness of the living atmosphere, will recognize the wrongness of what he says and know that he is a menace to the environment. I was not the first to point that out, you know. Jeane Manning wrote exactly the same thing about him on her blog last year.  

Convincing them is impossible because their attitude is not based on lack of knowledge; it is based on a personality disorder. And that cannot be cured with information.

 What the world needs to deal with this sort of problem is something like what the old Natural Weather Association used to do, to expose pathologies in the weather field and educate the public about why this is the wrong way to work on the weather.. That is what I have tried to do in the past regarding James DeMeo, and it now looks like somebody should be doing the same about David Wells.

The "Weather Rangers" group amounts to a weather control cult with attitudes and intentions that would render them among the greatest menaces to this planet if their devices actually could work.

 They seem inpervious to the concept of environmental responsibility. In fact, the over-all impression I get is of a 19th century attitude of extreme technophilia amounting to Hubris.

This group is barking mad, to put it mildly. The ideology expressed is about as far from anything ecologically sane as it is possible to get. The Saturday morning children's cartoons of the Mad Scientist comes to mind. They seem a parody more than anything resembling real people.

 The nightmare mechanistic concept of a "centralized control system" with weather-control devices operated remotely from a distant spot flies in the face of the direct bioenergetic contact needed by a cloudbuster operator to maintain awareness of what he is doing.

There is no mention at all on this groups website of anything remotely resembling the idea that the atmosphere can or should be allowed to regulate itself, not be constantly controlled by humans for human reasons. If these people treat their kids the way they propose to treat the atmosphere those kids will end up with some serious problems.

The pious absurdity of "weather professionals" being the appropriate people to determine the weather is so out of touch with the reality of modern meteorology that I wondered if this was intended as a spoof or not.

The total lack of any ecological sensitivity is glaringly apparent in nearly everything David Wells, says. His proposal to give priority to the needs of farmers ignores the fact that farmers, a "big business" interest in modern society, have drained whole lakes and rivers in their insatiable thirst for irrigation, and if given the chance, would do the same to the sky. Remember, the Sacramento Delta was the richest fishing ground on earth until it was ruined to irrigate a water-intensive cotton crop in a land that is naturally desert. Farming should be abolished, not encouraged.

But the good news is that David Wells is wrong in other ways too, not just in setting policy. His "invention" is not anything like what he thinks it is, and is not capable of doing what he thinks it does. And it is not something new. If you strip away the layers of theory, speculation, hypothesis, and promotional hype, and look only at the actual observational data, it is obvious right away what this thing is doing and why.

ANY electromagnetic source of high-voltage is capable of causing an excitation in the atmosphere which will break up small clouds directly overhead. Radio and T.V. transmitters do it. Radar dishes do it. High-tension power lines out in the countryside do it. I have sat out in the open for hours at a time watching the clouds roll in and uniformly break up at exactly the same spot, time after time. None anyplace else, only at the point a little past where they crossed over a high-voltage power line. Every time. 

The very strong, intense oranur excitation that is caused by radioactive materials has tended to overshadow the fact that a milder, but still significant oranur excitation can also be seen from electromagnetic devices of all sorts. One example is the misguided use of servo-motors powered by 12-volt batteries to operate cloudbusters by remote control. The field of the cloudbuster is expanded by the current passing through the wires within the field, and in turn, imparts excitation to the atmosphere. Richard Blasband thought this idea up to protect the operator from DOR-sickness while operating, and James DeMeo and others have copied him in using it.

It worked O.K. on the East Coast, where the atmosphere is much more mobile and moist, but on the West Coast, where there is rather chronic expansion DeMeo caused a drought he was working on to last much longer. He only was able to end the drought when he disconnected the motors and resorted to moving the pipes around by hand. And, though he won't admit it, he only did that after I had sent out an article I had written titled Mad Scientist Screws Up, explaining why he was not able to get the contraction of the atmosphere he was trying to get. I know he saw that article, but of course he would never give me credit for spotting an error he was making.

What the Wells device is doing is about the same thing: it is able to over-excite the atmosphere because it creates a mild oranur reaction, nowhere near as strong as that created by radioactivity, of course, but enough to break up weakly cohesive clouds at short-range. I would guess that the magnets involved in the device are amplifying the excitation in much the same way the field of the cloudbuster does when electrical motors are included in the system. The common factor being that the mild excitation caused by any electrical apparatus is amplified by passing through the orgone field of the cloudbuster in the one case, and by passing through the field of the magnet, which is really a rather specialized and structured orgone field, in the other.

Wells noticed the breaking up of clouds, but did not understand it or know that the same effect has been observed before, and he has let his imagination run wild with the idea. He has managed to delude himself and gather a cult of followers, none of which should be surprising when you take a look at some of the other cults that are around. Delusions of reference are commonplace. So are fantasies of controlling the weather.

Some of the phenomena he claims are also well-known in orgonomic literature. The acceleration of plant growth was mentioned by Reich after the oranur experiment, when among all the other things that happened, a tree just outside the laboratory burst into full bloom in the dead of winter. This effect, along with the trophism of plants turning towards the machine, are both also familiar from the writings of Georges Lakovsky about his Multiple Wave Oscillator, which was an electrotherapy device widely promoted in the 1930s. In fact, in the first half of the 20th century there was a whole generation of electrotherapy devices which all achived their results by the excitation of the bodily orgone field by the mild oranur effect induced by electrical current. The regeneration experiments of Dr. Robert Becker are another example you might be familiar with.

So the claims Wells makes of some people being able to feel effects from his machine, or that some of them have felt better from exposure to it, or that plants grow better from being near it, or that they turn toward it, fall right into place here and no new explanation is needed.

I must admit it is something of a relief to not have to worry abut this bunch of maniacs running around with something that could really control weather. In fact, I have had to go over this whole explanation very carefully, step by step, to be certain I was not falling into a similar trap and convincing myself of what I wanted to believe. But I have gone over everything Wells and his main followers are saying, every claim they make that reports an actual observation, not just a speculation or theory, and it holds up at each stage of the way. If only the actual observations are considered, and the hype, theory, speculation, and assumptions are left out, what he is doing is seeing the relatively minor effects from an electrical excitation of a magnetic field and generalizing from that to a far-reaching delusional system that others have bought into for whatever dynamics of their own.

I suggest you check out the Wikipedia entry for Apophenia and also look up Delusions of Reference. The psychodynamics of this group are nothing new or unique: on the contrary, all religions, political movements, and cults include elements of this kind of self-deception.

Hurricanes As A Vital Necessity

Strong circulatory storm systems are an important part of the metabolism of the atmosphere. If they are prevented, the atmosphere will stagnate and there will be a drought. If the stagnation is severe enough, and goes on long enough, all life processes will stop also.

The role of DOR in droughts and illnesses was well documented by Reich in the 50s and by numerous others since. DOR is increasing because of the widespread use of nuclear energy, as Reich also elucidated and others have confirmed. It is the production of DOR that renders nuclear energy the gravest threat to life on earth.

As the amount of DOR builds up, there will be more and more strong storms, as the earth reacts to the stagnation by trying to clean itself and re-mobilize the stuck energy. This process should be helped, not hindered. DOR is a far more serious threat to life on earth than any storm could be.

Use of cloudbusters to prevent hurricanes would be a bad solution, no matter how well intended. This is a good example of how spreading the word around about how to make cloudbusters without insisting on first learning the basics of orgone biophysics is a bad mistake. Cloudbusters in the hands of mechanistically- thinking people who do not understand basic orgonomy, or worse, think they know better and ignore orgone theory, are a serious environmental danger.

People who think it would be a good idea to prevent hurricanes have little or no idea of how the orgone atmosphere functions and cannot see the vital importance of such natural phenomena as hurricanes and tornadoes. Well-intentioned as they may think they are, they are ignorant of the scientific facts involved, namely, the orgone energy conditions that underlie all weather behavior.

Some people are trying to recruit volunteers for a project to stop hurricanes from forming in a part of the world where there have always been hurricanes and where all native species are adapted to their seasonal imput and many are dependent upon them. Such efforts, no matter how presented, are nothing but a threat to damage the environment. Such people are more of an environmental menace than any amount of spilled oil could ever be.

Militias, Midwest Farmers, And Cloudbusters

                     Militias, Midwest Farmers, And Cloudbusters
                                    by Joel Carlinsky


 In the late 80s and early 90s, a number of right-wing militia members got interested in cloudbusting as a result of James DeMeo having a series of articles and interviews published in Acres, USA, an organic farm journal catering to a readership of avant-gard farmers and right-wing conspiracy theorists with an interest in radionics, Anthroposophy, and other forms of agriculturaly-oriented superstition. DeMeo seriously miscalculated. He tried to publicize cloudbusting so they would fund HIS work, and was quite upset when they predictably went and built their own cloudbusters and tried it themselves instead. He didn't know how self-reliant and independent farmers tend to be, as compared with the academics he was used to dealing with.

 After first turning them on to cloudbusting, he got furious at them for doing it. His authoritarian orders to them to stop fell on deaf ears. If he didn't want them to try it, he should have kept his mouth shut. The result of his ill-advised fundraising was a large number of rigid, armored, and mystical-minded people dabbling in cloudbusting without any understanding of the principals behind it or any familiarity with Reichian theory or psychology. To them, it was just another Radionics machine, working on some unknown principal. 

I have no information on Timothy McVeigh except what I read in the papers, but there was a cloudbuster on his brother`s Michigan farm which was shown on ABC-TV, and the researcher for the Peter Jennings show had previously phoned me to get background information on cloudbusting for the segment. (She lied about what they wanted the information for, too)

One of the products of the blunder by DeMeo was a very wet summer in the upper Midwest, with the Mississippi River flooding worse than at any time in the last 500 years, while there was a drought in the East. After Eva Reich brought to my attention the unusual weather pattern on the sattilite photos, I made a few phone calls and was able to track down the group of farmers in Wisconsin and Minnisota who had set up TEN (!) cloudbusters and left them drawing without further attention because, having contacted DeMeo for advice and having received orders not to proceed, but to hire him instead, they had quite reasonably decided they had no choice but to teach themselves by trial and error.

They did stop when I told them there was a connection between their cloudbusting and the floods to the south of them, but they had not seen it for themselves because they had never been told that the effects of a cloudbuster could extend farther than a single farm, and thought they needed one cloudbuster for each farm! DeMeo is thus indirectly responsible for the Mississippi flooding that year. And for a lot of cloudbusters in the hands of people who know and care nothing for orgonomy.

I did cloudbusting with DeMeo, Bernd Senf and others in the eighties and nineties. I did it in Arizona and in Germany. It always worked - even "better" than intended. The last operation (I was doing the videos) led to one of the biggest weather disasters in Europe with seven severe storms from Scotland to Greece that cost more than 200 human lives and many billions on money. Thousands lost their health and properties. Many forests were damaged for decades.

Well. No one of the nowadays "cloudbusting specialists" want to know about this event now - they simply don't mention any more - and they act on as if cloudbusting was a fine thing and could be done by some private persons. Actually it is very cheap and simple (about 2000,- $) to build a fully equiped cloudbuster and as myself anyone else who knows how to operate could built one and do it. And some really do.

What - do you think - would happen, if a politician who has to act with "public success" would really successfully fight the Califonia fires with rain that is produced with cloudbusting? I think: a worldwide disaster that could ruin the global climate completely. Any farmer organization would claim to do it. The yellow press would jump on the subject for the thrill. (Make a storm and send the camera teams even before it happens.) Everybody who thinks of himself being important, every lobbyist, would require cloudbusting for the purpose of his own interests. The military, the cotton farmers, the tourist industry ....

This is throwing it into the big mouth of the emotional plague.

Cludbusting is NOT to make rain for some purpose, not even "to break a droungt" (as some "specialists" claim) and especially not a toy for those houswives and students who speak of conspiracy-theory "chem trails" and proudly show videos on U-tube on how they destroyed clouds with their "holy grenades".

Reich`s first public cloudbusting attempts to help the strawberry farmers was a rather naive action, but he did not know yet about the self regulative rules of the climate when he did it. Later, in his operations in Arizona, he did not make rain any more but he tried to enhance the relative humidity of the air to help the desert vegetation to grow slowly over a long period of time. Cloudbusting is more related biology than to meteorology. It is ecology.

Cloudbusting can only be used beneficially to help the global climate to regain its self- regulation. It can only be done properly if you know the causes of DOR, at least of those portions of DOR made by us humans. I know and some others do, too. But better not to publish this.

There is one example in Northern Africa: a contemporary cloudbusting project done for an agricultural project. It sounds very successful and reasonable, but what is really happening? The natural weather regulation is perverted even more. The project will be dependent on cloudbusting for decades, perhaps for ever, because not the cause of the desert is reversed, only some square miles are artificially supplied with rain by drawing clouds from north to the south. No one knows what will be the result if you constantly change the global climate just to make rain for some square miles of one single farming project.

I think, if we use cloudbusting for shortsighted aims like breaking a drought, for fire fighting or farming, or making sunshine for tourists - soon every fire in Australia would be countered with cloudbusting. But what if this results in a climate change that stops rain in the Indonesian rain forests or if it results in a warming of Antarctica and the melting ice would raise the oceans some meters?
At least: the Californian coast would not have a fire problem any more because most cities would be below the sea level.

What an idea: cloudbusting to help Arnie being re-elected !

Some Mental Symtoms Of Overcharge From Cloudbusting

Overcharge from being too near an operating cloudbuster for too long causes expansion of the autonomic nervous system, which has behavioral results of acting as if one was all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-important.

One becomes literally ''puffed up'' and ''inflated'', while someone who is chronically lacking in orgonotic charge may display the opposite characteristics of depression, lack of self-esteem, and fearfulness.

Such psychological factors must always be kept in mind when involved in cloudbusting.

Change In Jet Stream Affects Fish Populations

Sacramento River salmon take a dive - jet stream course change to blame?

This article is an excellent demonstration of how the interaction of natural systems are so complex and can affect something that would not be obvious at first glance. Since cloudbusting is known to be able to change the course of the jet stream, and people on the West Coast, such as the notorious group of bunglers who call themselves the "C.OR:E. Network, have ignorantly meddled in the fate of the rest of the world by doing so in the past, the shift in the jet stream may or may not have been due to someone on the West Coast using a cloudbuster without knowing enough about ecology to use it responsibly. If that is what has happened this time, that person almost certainly would never have thought of the possible impact on fish populations as a consequence of cloudbusting. As cloudbusting becomes an ever-more popular hobby, it is necessary to keep reminding anyone who might feel like taking it up, that there can be such unintended results.

Sacramento River salmon take a dive

Fishery management officials, surprised by the decline, expect Valley Chinook to rebound.

By Matt Weiser - Bee Staff Writer

March 3, 2007

Story appeared in METRO section, Page B3

http://www.sacbee.com/101/story/131920.html

Fall-run Chinook salmon that make a home in the Sacramento River and its tributaries fell last year to their lowest numbers since 1992, according to estimates by the Pacific Fishery Management Council.

This is a surprise to fisheries managers, because the population was expected to be strong after commercial fishing was drastically curtailed last year to protect Klamath River fish. The rebound for Klamath salmon is likely to mean better fortunes for Pacific coast commercial fishermen this year.

But now the troubled Sacramento River salmon are the center of attention.

That population includes American River fall-run Chinook, and only 8,728 salmon returned to the Nimbus Hatchery on the river last fall, according to the state Department of Fish and Game. That's the smallest number since 1997, well below the 2005 return of 22,349 fish.

The fishery council meets in Sacramento next week to draft plans for the commercial salmon season, which starts May 1.

"We're looking at it and wondering what's going on," said Allen Grover, a fisheries biologist at Fish and Game who monitors salmon. "I think it is a little bit worrisome."

Last year's commercial salmon season was cut by 90 percent along 700 miles of California and Oregon coastline to protect Klamath River Chinook, which had declined drastically the prior three years due to river management problems.

The shortened season was necessary because Klamath fish mingle in the ocean with more numerous Sacramento River salmon, and it is impossible for fishermen to target just one group.

The abbreviated season helped: About 30,400 natural spawners returned to the Klamath River last fall, well above the 21,000 predicted initially. This year, 65,300 spawners are predicted.

"We're looking at certainly a less restrictive season than last year," said Zeke Grader, executive director of the Pacific Coast Federation of Fishermen's Associations. "The one area of concern is what the hell is happening with Central Valley stocks."

While early projections for 2007 call for a population increase, the  big dip in last year's population caught researchers by surprise. The total population of Sacramento River fall-run Chinook was estimated at 435,000, about half its 2005 size. Of those, about 270,200 moved upriver to spawn, down from 394,000 in 2005.

A clue to the Sacramento River salmon decline emerged in a study published last week by the National Academy of Sciences. It documents a broad decline in Pacific Ocean food sources. Lead author John Barth, an oceanography professor at Oregon State University in Corvallis , said the cause was a southern shift in the jet stream in spring 2005.

That current of winds normally drives a deep upwelling in the ocean off Oregon and Washington that feeds the food chain. But the jet stream blew over California instead, disrupting ocean currents and causing a population decline among mussels and barnacles that feed on plankton.

"If you change the timing of this seasonal cycle, it doesn't provide the food for organisms that depend on plankton, and salmon are one of those species," said Barth. "If the food is not there when these organisms are naturally ready to make use of it, they're going to suffer."

Klamath River salmon may have been less affected by these changes because they don't range as far in the ocean as Central Valley fish.

FOREST FIRES

There have been cases of people who wanted to "help" by using the cloudbuster to prevent forest fires. Before doing so, they should read this article and understand that seasonal forest fires are not an unmitigated disaster as the news media present them, but play a vital role in the natural processes of the forest ecosystem.

If anyone comes to your attention who is interested in "fighting forest fires" with a cloudbuster, please send them a copy of this article.

               Wild and Prescribed Fire in Forests of the Intermountain West

                                             A Policy Statement
                                                by Joy Belsky

       The paradigm on forest fires is shifting from one of fire as a destructive force, to one of fire as a regenerative force. Although most forest scientists have made this shift, most forest managers in state and federal agencies have not. They are still attempting to suppress fires in wilderness and roadless areas and to halt the natural cycle of renewal and regrowth in forests damaged by past fire suppression.

        In order to encourage the US Forest Service and other agencies to adopt guidelines to fit our new understanding of fire in forested ecosystems of the Intermountain West, the Oregon Natural Resources Council (ONRC) has prepared its own fire policy. We are distributing it to forest activists to encourage them to begin the process of educating the general public.

         Over a hundred years of logging, grazing, fire suppression, road-building, and development have resulted in widespread fragmentation and degradation of the magnificent coniferous forests of the Intermountain West. Many of these forests are recognized by the scientific community as being critically destabilized. Still, significant areas, including wilderness, roadless areas, and moist forests, remain relatively unchanged.
   
. .Originally, most Ponderosa Pine and mixed-conifer forests of the Intermountain West were open and park-like, with large, majestic trees underlain by dense grass swards. These low- and mid-elevation forests were shaped by milennia of recurrent forest fire, which helped maintain the forests' ecological integrity by reducing tree densities, controlling forest pests, and releasing a steady supply of nutrients into the soil. Many of the wildlife species in these and Western forests evolved with fire-return intervals as short as 7-30 years and are dependent on the conditions created by fire for regeneration, rapid growth, food, and shelter.

         Due to nearly a century of active fire prevention, fire-fighting, and livestock grazing, which eliminates the fine fuels necessary to carry low-intensity surface fires, ever greater numbers of tree seedlings and saplings have survived to maturity. Forests that were once open and park-like due to periodic thinning by low-intensity ground fire now develop into dense thickets. During dry seasons and prolonged drought, these trees become stressed, limbs fall to the ground, and trees die. Consequently, dead woody debris accumulates and forests become increasingly prone to intense fire. Without periodic fire to reduce this fuel load and limit tree numbers, species composition of the forests changes from dominance by fire-tolerant, sunlight-loving species such as Ponderosa Pine and Western Larch, to dominance by fire-sensitive, shade-tolerant species such as Douglas-fir and true firs. These changes have created conditions in which many of the original park-like forests have been converted into dense, fire-prone, and increasingly disease- and insect-prone stands.

           Nevertheless, many forests in the region have not been significantly affected by recent changes in the fire regime. Riparian forests and wetter forests on north-facing slopes and at higher elevations traditionally experienced fewer fires. And forest types such as high-elevation Lodgepole Pine and Engelmann Spruce-Subalpine Fir have always developed into dense flammable forests, which were periodically consumed by stand-replacing fires.

            Because of drought, high tree densities, high fuel loads, and the loss of a mosaic of burned and un-burned forest stands, low-elevation forests and those on south-facing slopes are now more vulnerable to destructive fire, insects, and disease than they were formerly The Oregon Natural Resources Council (ONRC) advocates that land managers initiate measures that mimic Nature in reducing fuel loads, so as to return forests to their pre-Euro-American-settlement densities and fire regimes. These activities include a let-bum policy in some areas.

FIRE PREVENTION
        Fire prevention should not be a goal of forest management in the Intermountain West except when extraordinary ecological values are at stake. Since fire is an inevitable and ecologically essential component of forest ecosystems, managers should focus on restoring historical fire regimes.

FIRE SUPPRESSION
          Fire suppression activities should be conducted only when absolutely necessary and with utmost care for the long-term integrity of the ecosystem.

* Fire suppression should be conducted only where irreplaceable ecological values (e.g. rare forest types or a major portion of the population of an endangered species) are at stake, or in areas that should be protected until prescribed burning can reduce excess fuels.

* Fire suppression should not be allowed in wilderness, wild and scenic rivers, or roadless regions, unless these areas have irreplaceable natural values and are scheduled for prescribed burning.

* Fires should not be actively fought where nearby natural fire barriers such as bodies of water or rocky ridges are likely to extinguish the fire.

Published Confession Of Manslaughter By Cloudbuster

                        Direct Quotation From Dr. James DeMeo

  On page 96 of the Pulse of the Planet, #4 issue, there is
a report by DeMeo entitled "OROP ISRAEL 1991-1992," in which [DeMeo]  mentions flooding, homes destroyed, and people dying from traffic
accidents on flooded roads as a result of the heavy rains occurring after DeMeo's November 1991 cloudbusting operations in the Middle
East.

This report is posted on his website:

 OROP Israel: 1991 Cloudbusting Desert-Greening Experiment

 

Quoting now from DeMeo's own report :

 "Our research team had not anticipated the strength of the storms
which subsequently developed in the eastern Mediterranian.... When heavy
rains came, traffic often came to a standstill for hours.  Previously
bone-dry river beds and conduits filled quickly, and overflowed onto major
roads.... A few deaths also occured on the highways due to the fatal
combination of rain-slickstreets and highway speeding, or when people
attempted to drive their cars through rain-swollen streams.... Additional
difficulties also occured in a few areas when power lines were knocked down
by heavy winds or accumulated snow, leaving many persons without power,
sometimes for days."

Here, in his own words, Dr. DeMeo admits to having participated in a scientific
experiment which wreaked havoc on the public while serving as the direct or indirect cause of several deaths.

This amounts to a public confession of several counts of negligent manslaughter.

Improving The Cloudbuster

The issue as I see it, is not if the cloudbuster can be improved or not, but if the operator can be improved. We do not need better equipment; what we need is more information on how the atmosphere functions and how to make better use of the equipment we have. 

A properly-trained surgeon, knowing the anatomy of the human body, can do surgery successfully with stone-age tools, but a person who does not know anatomy cannot do successful surgery with a modern, fully-equipped hospital operating room. 

Ideally, a full-scale training program for cloudbuster operators, comparable to medical school training required to practice medicine, would be a basic requirement to do cloudbusting. 

Many ideas have been proposed for "improvements" in the cloudbuster. Most of them seem to think that it could or should be made "more powerful". The idea that making the draw more "powerful" would be better is a fundamentally wrong one. The cloudbuster does not drag the air masses around by brute force. It draws only a very small portion of energy from a highly localized spot in the atmosphere, and the orgonomic potential is what does the rest. A stronger draw would not help anything. Anyone who claims to have a way to make the cloudbuster "more powerful" is simply displaying his authoritarianism. Such people should not do cloudbusting. The wish to "overpower" the atmosphere and FORCE it to do this or that is exactly the wrong way to go about cloudbusting. 

The response of the orgone atmosphere to cloudbusting is like an allergic reaction by the body. A very small grain of pollen can cause a very large man to convulse in a fit of sneezing. More pollen will not cause any more violent a sneeze. The reaction by the body is not in proportion to the stimulus. It is far greater than the mere amount of the stimulus would suggest.

Cloudbusting can also be compared to sexual stroking and foreplay. Very gentle stroking at the right spot and at the right rate will accomplish the desired result far better than "powerful" rubbing will. In fact, the way a person behaves in bed with a lover is a prototype of the way that person will behave towards the atmosphere when doing cloudbusting. Someone who goes in for whips and chains in the bedroom will not be likely to show the proper respect and concern for the atmosphere when cloudbusting either. And the probable results will likewise be less than optimum. 

The usual "improvements" suggested for the cloudbuster generally fall into certain classes: the attachment of some electrical device to the cloudbuster, some form of geometrical shape, or some magnet, crystal, coil, or other attachment regarded as having some special properties. All of these suggestions show a lack of understanding of how a cloudbuster works. 

Any form of electrical stimulation of the field of the cloudbuster will cause a increase in the most popularized visual effect of a cloudbusting operation, the breaking up of clouds directly overhead. This impresses a lot of people who do not realize that breaking up clouds is not what a cloudbuster does. The name "cloudbuster" is highly misleading in this sense; it reflects the historical fact that that was the first effect noticed by Reich, but does not suggest to someone unfamiliar with that history the wide range of things a cloudbuster can do or how it does them.

The expansion from over-excitation of the field of the cloudbuster is transferred to the atmosphere and causes an expansion of the atmosphere, breaking up clouds overhead. It also increases drought tendencies, and prevents the contraction phase of the pulsation of the atmosphere. If a drought tendency already exists, it will become worse and the continued operation of the cloudbuster will only prolong the drought.

 This has happened several times when the remote-controlled cloudbusters used by Blasband, DeMeo, and Eden were used in areas on the West Coast, where a chronic drought tendency exists. Blasband invented the idea of using 12-volt D.C. servomotors to move the pipes around from a safe distance to avoid the DOR that is attracted to the cloudbuster in a drought atmosphere from affecting the operator. It worked fine on the East Coast, where the atmosphere is much more moist and mobile, but on the drier West Coast, it only resulted in increased drought tendency.

Electrical current, as produced by batteries or generators, is what Reich called "secondary energy", and any application of any form of secondary energy to the primary energy, the orgone, will have the same effects. It makes no difference what "voltage", what "amperage", or what "frequencies" or any other minor variation on the basic theme there may be, it is secondary energy, and therefor it will trigger a mild oranur effect. This mild oranur effect will normally be much less than the intense oranur effect caused by radioactive materials, but it is of the same basic nature. 

Trevor Constable and some others have sought to "improve" the basic cloudbuster design by incorporating various new-age junk like coils, magnets, pyramids, etc. into the design. So far, none of these innovations has really done anything much except confuse people who do not realize what it is that a cloudbuster is supposed to do. 

Constable himself did not really believe most of what he claimed in his promotional articles. He deliberately lied about how he got his results because he was mainly interested in commercializing cloudbusting, not in advancing scientific knowledge, and had a commercial motive to keep information secret so his prospective customers could not just go out and do it themselves instead of hiring him. 

Most of the "new, improved" designs he published photos of over the years were nothing but decoys, stage props intended to distract attention from how he was really getting his results. He would put on a show for his prospective customers with these props, while at some distance away, out of sight, an accomplice would be doing the actual cloudbusting with the original Reich-style equipment, at his directions, passed on by phone. 

I know this because it was my own idea, which I used in Australia and told him about when I got back from my expedition to Queensland. Later, when he started showing off his "new, improved" models of cloudbusting equipment, I recognized my own scam when I saw it. I later was able to confirm that by talking to an old farmer in Bakersfield, California, who told me he had operated some equipment for Trevor when Trevor had phoned and told him when to operate it and what direction to point it. When I asked him what the equipment looked like, he answered, "It was just some lengths of irrigation pipe stuck in a barrel of water with a hose going into it and the water overflowing". 

The use of fast-moving orgone accumulators, of whatever shape, on cars or airplanes, does have an effect on the atmosphere, and such fast-moving orgone concentrations do not need to be grounded to have an effect, but the effect of any ungrounded accumulating device will be only partial. It will stir up and break up a DOR barrier, true enough, but it still does not get rid of DOR as well as drawing it into a large body of moving water will. There are some situations where it might be helpful to break up a DOR blockage that way, but in other situations, it might be better to use water-grounding. 

Constable does not even mention DOR at all in any of his books or numerous articles because he thinks thinking about it causes it! He once told me Blasband was "socking in" the whole East Coast with DOR by worrying about it all the time! So when it comes to DOR-removal and what to do about DOR, we cannot expect to learn much from Constable. He won't even think about it for fear of attracting it. 

Again, we do not need to learn any more about how to construct cloudbusters. The original device works perfectly well enough. What is needed, what the direction of research ought to be, is learning more about how the atmosphere normally functions, how it malfunctions and how it reacts to the stimulus from a cloudbuster, in the context of how the orgone atmosphere reacts to any type of stimulus, not just from cloudbusting. 

When we know enough about the atmosphere, then we will be able to do whatever we need to do with a cloudbuster, without needing any "new, improved" models of equipment being operated by the same old, ignorant operators.

The Urge To "Control" Weather

My recent series of messages expressing concern about the prospect of weather control technology being misused to interfere with normal atmospheric metabolism brought me a number of angry responses from some readers who seem not to understand the point I was trying to make. Most of them seemed to think any weather that kills people or harms their crops is bad weather and should be prevented. Some of them expanded the list of bad weather conditions to include any weather that destroys other property as well.   This attitude is short-sighted. It is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the atmosphere. People who evaluate anything the atmosphere does according to how it affects human life and property in the short term fail to recognize that the atmosphere is not just a non-living inanimate mass of non-living gases. It is a well-organized system of closely-related componants that work together just as the componants of a living organism do. Interference with the functioning of the system in any one part can seriously disrupt the entire system.   The atmosphere has a metabolism just as a living organism does. In the normal course of this metabolism, a certain amount of the atmospheric energy is processed through a series of stages, cycling from lively, moving OR to DOR, to water, and back again, and forming the main componants of the atmosphere along the way. The nitrogen, carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen that are the basic gases in the atmosphgere are formed as a result of this process of atmospheric metabolism.   It is not just an accidental conincidence that these elements are also the main elements found in the living organism. Living organisms are a part of the atmospheric processes. The general vitality of all living things in an area depends to a very great degree on the functioning of the biological energy field to which they are exposed. Normal weather and normal health are both parts of the same underlying phenomenon.   Weather becomes stuck in a state of chronic drought when excess DOR builds up in an area. If the DOR situation goes on long enoigh, the drought become permanent and the area becomes a desert. This is not only a question of rainfall. Desert life-forms show biological characteristics typical of deserts, quite aside from those associated with less water. In many species, including humans, this can extend to behavioral characteristics as well as morphological ones.   Strong circulatory storm systems such as hurricanes and tornadoes are a self-healing reaction by the living atmospheric energy to clean itself of DOR and bring back the mobility of the normal moving atmospheric energy. When there is a lot of DOR around, a strong movement is triggered, usually in the form of a tornado, that reverses the stagnation and afterwards the atmosphere and the biosphere both are functioning far better.   There has always been some DOR. It is a natural part of the metabolic cycle of both atmosphere and organism. But in the last 60-odd years, the amount of DOR has been vastly increased by the advent of nuclear technology on this planet. Both nuclear explosions and more slowly,but just as inexorably, nuclear power plants, produce huge amounts of DOR. To a lesser, but still significant degree, any electromagnetic technology does the same. Deforestatiion of large areas and the daming of large rivers also contribute significantly to the stagnation of the athospheric energy.   As a result, the normal atmosphere is increasingly hard pressed to cope with this ongoing assault, and an increase in strong storms is the result as the atmospheric energy tries to clean itself and remain capable of functioning. Any interference with this self-healing response by any technological means would be extremely ill-advised since the re-mobilization of the atmospheric energy is vital to metabolism of all living things as well as being the only process by which the atmosphere can return to normal behavior over the long term.   The mechanistic conception of the atmosphere as dead, inanimate, and nothing but a non-living mass of gases that just happens to do whatever it does at random, without any co-ordinated purpose or over-all organization is a reflection of the dead and deadened biosystem of the mechanists, who are unable to feel the life energy in their own bodies and project their lack of life sensations onto the cosmos via theories of a non-living natural world. These theories of a dead, non-living atmosphere mislead mechanistic thinkers into the idea that intervention in the interests of preventing "bad weather" can do no harm.   Nothing could be farther from the truth. Halting the healing process of the atmosphere to prevent short-term highly-localized damage from storms will inevitably end up causing far more damage than any number of storms could ever cause. Carried far enough, such well-intended but ignorant tampering could spell the ultimate death of the atmosphere of the earth.    The Reich cloudbuster is the only effective means of purposeful intervention in atmospheric behavior. The attempts by cloudseeders to augment precipitation by adding condensation nuclei to selected clouds have failed to produce any convincing evidence even after over 60 years of trying. And while several unorthodox inventors have made exagerated claims for various electromagnetic devices proported to "control weather", none have ever done any better. An understanding of the orgone energy field of the earth and how it underlies all atmospheric behavior conclusively rules out any possibility of anyone ever inventing any elecromagnetic method of effective weather control.   So I am not really too concerned at some deluded crackpots like the so-called "Weather Rangers", who claim to be able to control wearther with some electrical device really being able to do any harm. All they could possibly do with any such device is just what all other electromagnetic technology does; add a little bit to the total amount of DOR in the world and make the over-all condition of the atmosphere just a little bit worse.   But what is dangerous about these people is not their bogus and ineffective technology, but their mechanistic attitude. They are setting a horendous precedent. If at some future date some such irresponsible group like the Weather Rangers were ever to start using real cloudbusters instead of the crackpot equipment these deluded cranks are using, the world could be in very bad trouble indeed.   That is why I thought the ignorance and misconceptions on which the Weather Rangers are basing their actions should be exposed and contrasted to the healing practice of atmospheric medicine with the cloudbuster as advocated by Reich and those who understand the proper use of the cloudbuster to help a damaged atmosphere return to healthy self-regulation.

Hi again,

I'm of course very interested always in the who/what/where/how about any cloudbusting operators in Cyprus, but actually a lot MORE interested in operators to the west and southwest of us who are in a position to be affecting our weather. In the last few years we've had nearly catastrophic dust clouds from the Sahara that increased respiratory illness, and deaths from it, to unprecedented numbers.

I think I mentioned to you in the past a little about orgonomy workers in Cyprus, but not in an organized way. Here's a little more.

When I returned to Cyprus in 1993 I connected to what I thought was one loosely organized informal group of orgone workers, who according to themselves had engaged in some cloudbusting operations on the island in previous years.

As I collected pieces of the story I realized there was enough "weirdness" with authoritarian overtones and dogmatism built into it that instinctually guided me to should keep just to side and avoid getting directly involved.

Later I found out that the group had pooled money to get one of DeMeo's colleagues from Greece to come direct the operations. The same story, as it was told by some of those people a few years later, included DeMeo's name in a way suggesting that perhaps it was he himself who came to Cyprus to direct the operations. But I don't know.

Anyway, they set up a large cloudbuster on the coastal area with either a cable or a chain directly in the seawater. Their goal was to "break the drought" of the early nineties. They repeated this operation perhaps several times each year over two or three years, ending sometime in '91 or '92.

The location of the operation was kept secret because the group contained at least one member who was concerned that Mossad (the Israeli secret intelligence operations agency) would either come steal it away, or sabotage them, or target the members of group with hostile operations.

My experience tells me that when out of the blue a bizzare assertion like this politicizes something there's probably some truth to it operating at some level. Looking back after all these years, and seeing DeMeo's real politics of hatred against Islam, I can say with certainty now that regarding Mossad's role, if there was any, we can apply the motto "where there's fire, then there's smoke". In reverse. False flag operations are the most common ways to conceal something among politically naive or dogmatic people.

If there was any danger from Mossad, it was probably a Mossad influence built into the group right from the beginning. I know some of the individuals who were involved and they are bona fide, honest, genuine, committed anti-zionists enemies of Mossad. It HAD to be sold to them as operating "secretly from Mossad" in order to weave them into it.

Well, I don't know what results they may have produced.

A few years later, around the mid-nineties I was invited to engage with them in another operation. Again they were collecting money to rebuild a cloudbuster (it had rusted in the "secret" location where they had stored it) and also to bring out here again either DeMeo or another "official" orgonomist to direct or advise the operation. Was it Peter Crist? I can't remember now, because his name was being dropped around often - I think he ended up teaching some seminars in Greece in that period.

One more name from Greece that came up as somehow connected to the group, or at least the group perhaps was interested in connecting to, was Christos Mousouliotis. He is the translator of a book by W. Reich published under the title "The Orgone Accumulator, Medical and Scientific Usage" http://www.protoporia.gr/product_info.php/products_id/119808 (I don't know what this book is, never read it in greek).

The group included a socially prominent and popular communist, alternative scientist and professor who has since passed away. Another member was a prominent pharmacist with involvement in Homeopathy. Others were lesser known individuals with good intentions but with strong dogmatic streaks.

I told them I'd be happy to assist but not with money, but that I'd like to primarily engage in dialogue with them about the specifics of the operations. I had a worry that they might be doing work by amplifying the cloudbuster with radioactive materials and I did not trust them enough to be with them in such conditions. Only one of them actually ended up in a dialogue with me about it, and it turned out he had been closed out of the decision making loop by the others and so he could not guarantee to me what I was asking for.

Later I learned that they eventually had a fight about the money among them and split, and that they did not carry out the operation. I think that the particular group ceased to exist by the mid or late nineteen nineties.

But given the levels of secrecy within them, lack of transparency and lack of democracy, I suspect that that some of them may have pulled off another operation in the late nineties. I remember having that sense during that period, that the weather was odd, but not in the usually deformed and stagnated way; a new pattern of stagnation and release (or as the capitalists say of the economy a "stagflation").

In the late nineties and early 21st century, some of those people became connected with an infusion of immigrants to Cyprus from various countries, bringing with them other versions of orgonomy. Some of them formed new "orgone friendships" and went into producing "improved" accumulators, and some versions of cloudbusters.

I'm not aware of any concrete details of any actual cloudbusting done, but by now the orgone community in Cyprus had enough simple technology and hands-on people AND enough dogmatic primma donnas espousing the cause that they could do whatever they wanted without needing to import consultants. I suspect (from the level of talk and "chatter" in the community) that there may have been some cloudbusting done around the years 2000 or 2002. I have no concrete evidence.

Eventually all the egos clashed within the new formations as well, and all forms of co-operative efforts in orgonomy have been defunct since that time I think. Of course there may be individuals doing things entirely secretly, not talking to anyone and therefore "off the radar".

That's about it, I think, as an overview. If I remember anything else, I'll add to the overview.

Mission Statement

There is no transparency and no accountability in the field of cloudbusting. Anyone is free to decide what to attempt with a cloudbuster without any input from anyone else or any oversight by anyone representing the interests of the public. There are no standards of training required, no guidelines that must be adhered to, and no way to sanction those who cause damage or to require them to carry insurance to compensate their victims.

Cloudbusting is a wild frontier where anybody can do exactly as he pleases with the fragile atmosphere upon which all life depends. Most of the people who take up cloudbusting have good intentions and think they are doing the right thing, but they nearly all lack any real knowledge of the little-known branch of physics that the cloudbuster is based on, and they also are almost all totally ignorant of the biological sciences that would enable them to understand the potential effects on the ecosystems they will inevitably affect.

And there are some who are sadists or psychopaths or driven by a need to dominate and control. Such persons are attracted to cloudbusting for the feeling of power that it gives them. They enjoy the feeling that they get to decide what weather the rest of us have to endure.

And the rest of us are at their mercy.

I am trying to change that. I am trying to get a movement going to demand transparency and accountability in the cloudbusting field. There should be standards set, a professional Code Of Ethics, training, insurance coverage, consultations with ecologists, and some way to sanction those who are found guilty of malpractice.

Because the atmosphere is too important to be left to whoever wants to control it. And it does not belong to them. It belongs to us.

Japanese Radioactivity And The Pacific Ocean

                                    Japanese Radioactivity And The Pacific Ocean
                                                       by Joel Carlinsky



In his report on the lack of radioactive fallout detected in North America from the Japanese nuclear meltdown now underway, James DeMeo says:

"As noted previously, the Pacific Ocean is very large, and the discharges of radioactive smokes and gasses in Japan were almost entirely confined into the lower atmosphere, the troposphere.  This means, that air will be subjected to a lot of stormy weather and scrubbing as it moves across the Pacific.  With luck, the worst of it will have rained out long before that atmosphere arrives into North America."

I tend to disagree with the "with luck" part of that statement. If the radioactive fallout ends up in the Pacific Ocean food chain, that will perhaps be "good luck" for the people living in Oregon, but it will still be a major ecological disaster for the Pacific Ocean, and since the radioactive material will disperse much faster and farther in water than on land, it will end up being a much worse disaster for the earth as a whole than if the fallout had come down on land, where it would tend to stay put.

Perhaps James DeMeo does not eat much fish, but those who do may have to find something else to eat for the next few thousand years or so if the Pacific Ocean food chain ends up as the final repository of the fallout cloud. The oceans are already drastically over-fished, and the addition of a high burden of radioactivity may well spell the collapse of the entire marine ecosystem.

And if that goes, it is highly unlikely anything on land will be unaffected. For a start, two thirds of the plant life that provides the atmosphere with oxygen is in the ocean. If the plankton are decimated by radioactive fallout, it will make little difference if the land areas escape the fallout cloud or not.

The real danger from the meltdown of not just one, but several, Japanese nuclear plants, is not the release into the atmosphere of fallout that may rain down on distant land masses, but the release into the nearby waters of radioactive sludge and debris that will contaminate a vast area of the ocean. The much more rapid spread of the radioactivity through water than on land makes the danger of a water release much worse, although the mass-media may not think that angle would interest Homer Simpson enough to be worth reporting.

But what should be of interest to Dr. James DeMeo is the probability of someone trying to use a cloudbuster to protect the West Coast of North America from the fallout cloud by triggering rain while the cloud is still out over the Pacific. If a cloudbuster located on shore were to do that, the radioactive particulates in the cloud would end up in the ocean food chain instead of on land.

That would contaminate a much greater area than any fallout over land would be likely to. And given the fact that cloudbusters are known to exist in Hawaii, California, Oregon, and Washington, it is almost a certainty that at least one operator will make the attempt to prevent the radioactive cloud from carrying it`s burden to shore.

"Solving" the Pollution Problem and Fallout From Japan

  "Solving" the Pollution Problem and Fallout From Japan
                                             by Joel Carlinsky


In the 1970s and 80s, Trevor Constable ``solved`` the pollution problem in Los
Angeles. He
made it all go out of the Los Angeles Basin into the desert. He told
radio talk shows he had gotten rid of the pollution. He wrote articles
about it in Borderlands magazine. He asked all his fans to write to the
Los Angeles County Commissioners demanding they hire him to protect the city
from pollution.

On the weather maps, you could see the polluted
air streaming out into the desert. The 5,000 year old Bristlecone Pine
trees at the Joshua Tree National Mounument, the oldest living things on
earth, were dying that summer from pollution from Los Angeles. The Grand
Canyon was so polluted you could not see one rim from the other. Airborne
sampling by Project Lighthawk, an environmental group of volunteer private
pilots, showed the pollution was from Los Angeles. But
Trevor Constable thought he had solved
the pollution problem in Los Angeles.

He told his radio
listeners the small, grass-roots, under-funded environmental movement
was actually all nothing but a plot by the big auto companies to force
people to buy expensive catalytic converters for their cars, and there
was no need for any laws to prevent pollution because he was now able to
clean it all up with his cloudbusters.

Now we are seeing a global crisis caused by over 40 years of reckless dependence
on nuclear power. A cloud of radioactive particles from at least one, possibly
several, Japanese reactors is moving around the Northern Hemisphere, and the
inhabitants of America and Europe are rightly concerned about their health and
that of their loved ones. In this crisis, some of the hunderds of people who
have read about cloudbusters on the internet are almost certain to think of
diverting the fallout away from where they live with a cloudbuster.

And, since almost all of those people are likely to be humans, we can be sure
none of them will think of the fact that wherever they divert it to, someone
else lives there. Wherever it goes, it all ends up in the same atmosphere of the
same finite planet.

 So, look on the weather maps. Look for sudden unpredicted shifts in the wind,
with the main body of fallout suddenly going to someplace other than where it
was first predicted to go. Especially if it diverts away from a
heavily-populated area to one with lesser population. That is a clue that
someone with a cloudbuster has been at work.

And look on those same weather maps for sudden, unpredicted shifts directly
TOWARD a populated area. That is a clue that someone with a cloudbuster has been
at work who did not know what they were doing. Because there are very likely to
be several cloudbuster operators at work, and most of them will not know what
they are doing, and mistakes will inevitably be made by at least some of them.

But even if none of them made any mistakes, which is very unlikely, the risk of
compounding the problem by having several cloudbusters operating in the same
area at the same time, with none of them knowing about the others, is much
greater than the risk of one of them making a mistake. In fact, it makes causing
greater problems almost certain.

If cloudbusting is to be done responsibly, one of the first and most basic
safety precautions must be that no operation is kept secret. That all data must
be shared. That any potential operator in your area must be informed of what you
plan to do. And that rule must have no exceptions. Nobody, not even a
radioactive Muslim Communist Emotional Plague Character from outer space, should
be left uninformed of any planned cloudbusting operation.

Because, as this global emergency amply demonstrates, we are all in this
together. We all live on the same small planet. And we had better all learn that
now.

Some of my Correspondence On Ash Palise.........................

 Cloudbusting in the hands of crazy fools is a very real and serious environmental issue and what I am trying to do is a form of environmental activism. If I disengage from trying to stop these maniacs, there is nobody else who would even try to stop them.

 I have been acting as an investigative reporter, blowing the whistle on what is going on when extreme weather happens if it looks like a faulty cloudbusting operation caused it.

I do not write for the subjects of my writing to read me and get converted, since that is not going to happen. I write for the people who are on the fence, convinced cloudbusting works, or at least that it might, but not part of the enemy camp yet. People who might donate money to a cloudbusting project if they were asked, for example. I have had some success in getting some people to stop funding DeMeo, and I have learned some things about how to refine my tactics to get better results.

Ash is shaping up to be more of a menace than DeMeo, so he will be getting more of my attention in the near future.


My thinking his increasingly disorganized mental state could be at least partly caused by staying too close to a cloudbuster for too long is based on a long history and background of the idea in orgonomic circles. The oranur experiment drove many of the people around Reich to quit their jobs and run away from it. They were brave enough in the face of a mere threat to their physical health, but when they started to impulsively act out their deepest repressed fears and desires, that was too much to handle. Reich called this effect of oranur The Days Of Revelation Effect. And nothing scared people more.

Some even think Reich himself went insane from exposure to oranur. They say his behavior became more and more irrational after the oranur experiment. There is no solid evidence for this, but I mention it to show that the idea of oranur exposure causing mental effects is not original with me, but has a long history in orgonomy.

Oranur acts as a huge over-charge, driving up to the surface and making manifest any latent or slight defect or tendency. In the case of physical illnesses that might not show symptoms for decades, it could cause a heart attack in a young person that otherwise would not happen for another 50 years. In the case of mental symptoms, a rigidly controlled person would sometimes lose control and act without thinking.

And a latent schizophrenic would suffer a break with reality and start acting in a way that fits the textbook description of that state.

Ash is evidently much impressed with Trevor Constable, a very mystical person who is heavily into Rudolph Steiner, among others. And the very close relationship between mysticism and schitzophrenia is described by Reich in Character Analysis. For Ash to be favorably impressed by Constable points to his own latent mysticism.

We know from the breakdown of Robert McCullough while cloudbusting in Tucson that cloudbusting can make a person draw too much orgone, especially the stale, toxic form called DOR, into his body. McCullough had a stroke at the age of 28 from the overcharge he got that way. But that reflects his own personal latent predisposition to a stroke, while a person with a latent tendency to mental breakdown instead would have that happen instead.

So if Ash being attracted to Constable`s mysticism indicates a latent tendency to schizophrenia, his acting the way he does, and his increasingly rambling and uncoordinated writings are an indication of orgonotic overcharge.

And the Reichian community, steeped in psychology as most of them are, should recognize it if I point it out to them.


I have been very involved in cloudbusting for over 40 years. I had tutoring in orgone biophysics from Dr. Eva Reich, the daughter of Wilhelm Reich, who invented the cloudbuster. In 1971, I did the first cloudbusting in Australia, from a base 20 miles north of Twoomba, in Queensland. So I think I can make a valid claim to some knowledge of the subject.

I have written extensively for many years about the dangers of improper cloudbusting. Ash is only the latest, and in my opinion, the most incompetent and irrational, of a long line of people who are attracted to cloudbusting for the wrong reasons. You can find some of my writings on this subject on my website, www.orgonomicecology.blogspot.com . I will send you others.

I had a lot of correspondence with Ash at one time, but he was taking advice from the wrong people, and he thinks he knows everything about everything and will not listen to any criticism. If you disagree with him, he gets violently enraged and incoherent, foaming at the mouth, making threats of physical violence or legal action, or whatever he happens to think of. He seems dangerously unstable. I will forward some of his rants to you so you can see for yourself that I am not exagerating.

My conclusion that the recent Queensland floods were triggered by someone cloudbusting in the area was based on my background knowledge of how the atmosphere responds to the stimulus applied by a cloudbuster or other orgone energy device, plus the videos posted on the internet by Ash showing his equipment and giving the dates of his use of it. In the past, I have been quite successful in detecting covert cloudbuster operations in both Europe and America by deduction from such data and this case was unusually obvious.

I am not against all cloudbusting. Indeed, according to Reich, and my own observations confirm this, the orgone energy of the atmosphere is rapidly deteriorating due to the use of nuclear energy and only proper use of the cloudbuster can reverse that serious condition, so cloudbusting is needed. But PROPER cloudbusting. Ignorant irresponsible playing around with a cloudbuster by someone like Ash, who is motivated mainly by the feeling of powerlessness that comes from living in the modern world and not having any control over his life, is not a good thing for the environment. I would like to see cloudbusting done the way it should be done, but that is a long way from the indiscriminate proliferation of cloudbusters that is going on now.

The increasing fascination with cloudbusters by untrained private persons who have learned about it via the internet, is fast becomming a major environmental menace.

The recent use of a cloudbuster in Queensland by Mr. Ash Palise is almost certainly the main reason for these floods and I have documented that and currently have an article in preparation which will be sent to you when it is published.

Ash Palise is an ignoramus who needs to be spanked. He thinks he has a right to tamper with the lives and livelihoods of the entire population of Queensland without the least training or education in this very complex field. There are several solid reasons for my accusations against him.

I have exposed several other incompetent, irresponsible bunglers who have committed major mass-homicides by playing around with cloudbusters, and some of those exposes can be found on my website, www.orgonomicecology.blogspot.com and I will be happy to respond to e-mails on the subject if anyone wants more detailed information.

Regarding my own qualifications in cloudbusting, I was the first to do cloudbusting in Australia, operating for 6 weeks from a base 20 miles north of Twoomba and for 2 weeks from a base in Esmeralda, in June and July, 1971. I received tutoring from the late Dr. Eva Reich, the daughter of Dr. Wilhelm Reich, who invented the cloudbuster. I have also been recognized as qualified in this field by Charles Kelly, a former Air Force weather forecaster who was a student of Wilhelm Reich and wrote the first book on the subject in 1961. .

I have written extensive highly critical articles about several people who have misused the cloudbuster. As a long-time environmental activist, I consider this a form of environmental activism, and it is because of that work on protecting the earth and it's inhabitants from cloudbuster-generated catastrophes that some of those people have written false and defamatory articles about me, such as the one referenced by Mr. Palise in his effort to distract attention from my criticisms of his actions and focus attention on his allegations about my personality and life-history instead. Anyone reading any such biographical slanders should keep in mind the obvious motives of their authors.

I am not in Australia, but there are many sites on the net where it is possible to see live pictures from space.

Reich and Bill Moise published several reports in the 50s in Reich's journal,C.OR.E., on their having successfully diverted hurricanes out to sea that had been predicted to hit the East Coast. Blasband published reports in the Journal of Orgonomy of his having done likewise in the late 60s and early 70s. So there is little room for doubt that a cloudbuster can divert a hurricane if the operation is begun early enough.

The method is to draw from the direction of the land, weakening the orgone potential inland, so the potential out to sea becomes relatively stronger. This attracts the storm out to sea, away from the weaker potential inland.

Since a cloudbuster works by altering the orgonomic potential in one part of the sky to make that in some other part of the sky relatively stronger, the same result would reasonably be expected from any other method of building up a relatively strong potential in one location compared to another location.

So if someone on shore had a device operating that excited the local orgone field into a higher state of activity, the storm would be attracted towards that device. Then, if some other factor also was at work, such as the normal vector of these types of storm, which is what you suggested, the ultimate vector of the storm would be about what the pictures from space are showing now, a compromise vector that, together with the normal path of such storms, indicates an unusual build-up of charge in South Queensland, where Ash, who has a device that can excite the local orgone field, happens to live.


This storm, as I write this, looks like it is being augmented by a foolish attempt to weaken it by someone in South Queensland pointing a cloudbuster at it. While it is often possible to divert a storm with a properly/designed cloudbuster operation, there is no case on record of anyone ever succeeding in weakening a full-blown hurricane by drawing from it.

 Such a draw would be more likely to increase the strength of the storm since by the orgonomic potential, a very strong storm system would draw energy the other way, from the water the cloudbuster was grounded into, into the storm,via the cloudbuster.

I have seen this happen on a small scale. Once, when I was using a small DORbuster ( a miniature of the cloudbuster ) grounded into a bucket of water inside a small accumulator to experiment on breaking up jet aircraft contrails, I pointed it at a small, but apparently strongly/charged cloud. Instead of the cloud breaking up, it grew! There was more water in the cloud than in my bucket, so the draw went the other way, and the DORbuster acted as a conduit for the cloud to draw energy out of the bucket.

But some people do not know that. And if someone draws from a strong storm system, the likely result would be to greatly strengthen the storm, which is what seems to have happened in this case. 

A Mr. Ash Palise, who happens to live in Queensland, has been engaged in cloudbusting operations lately and judging from the incredible level of stupidity involved, this looks like his work. Investigations to confirm this suspicion continue. ( Note: His operating at that time has since been confirmed in an e-mail from David Wells, the leader of the Weather Rangers, to which group Mr. Palise belongs. )

Please forward this message to everyone on your list. The people of Australia need to be warned about this incompetent individual monkeying with their weather..

You may not have seen the entire correspondence on the subject, so you might not know exactly what evidence I presented. I did say why I drew the conclusions I did, but there have been many more letters going back and forth on this topic than the ones you have seen.

The fact that Ash operated AFTER the rain started was inadvertently confirmed by an e-mail to me from his friend and mentor, Jamie Ogg. That Ash has a cloudbuster, and therefore COULD have done it, is proven by a video he posted to several places on the internet.

That Ash was using a ''spider'' device, of the sort Trevor Constable used, is also shown in a video posted by him to several mailing lists. So there is no doubt he has access to the equipment with the capacity to do what I said he did.  

All I did was put two and two together. He was, according to his own posts to some mailing listrs, using the 'spider' just before the rain started. He posted a video of it around that time. And then, according to Jamie, who is a friend of his whom he often consults on cloudbusting, he tried to stop the rain. Since it did not stop, but went on to become worse, I drew the obvious conclusion that he made it worse.

Jamie denies having been the one to advise Ash on this operation. I believe him. Jamie would have told Ash not to draw from too high an angle, since that can intensify and prolong rain. Jamie say someone else was advising Ash at the time of the attempt to stop the rain.

 Another person Ash consults on such operations is a Ken Schwartz, who claims to have been a student of Constable, but according to Peter Lindemann, who worked closely with Constable for many years, is lying and was never trained by Constable. It was probably Ken Schwartz who was acting as Ash's adsvisor. His lack of expertise would explain why Ash was not warned not to draw from a high angle.

The sequence of events is clear, though the cause-and-effect relationship may not be so clear to someone who does not understand the way the atmosphere reacts to cloudbusting. So I gave my explanation for why I came to those conclusions.

My post to my own list, which you may have missed, said;

In a recent mocking and condescending e-mail to me, Jamie Ogg wrote

   "Blaming Ash for Australia floods is absurd. Actually Ash worked
   to prevent the continuation of the floods with advice from others
   in CB work more knowledgeable about weather than you. (and no joel
   I was not the one giving him advice on that) Maybe we should blame
   the Brazil floods on you."

I was not in Brazil, but Ash was in Queensland. And you have just confirmed that he did do cloudbusting in an effort to reduce the rainfall. Since he himself has already admitted he also did cloudbusting before the rains started, I now have the following sequence of events. First, Ash uses a dry excitation device, a so-called "Spider Unit", invented by Trevor Constable, to shift atmospheric potentials to get readings on his orgone field meter. He mistakenly thinks this device will not affect the weather, but the conditions are so highly charged that it adds enough extra excitation to the already over-stretched atmosphere that the atmosphere reacts with a strong contraction which causes a lot of rain.

Second, not realizing he himself caused the rain, he tries to stop it, asking advice from friends in America, most likely Ken Schwartz. His second intervention, using a properly grounded cloudbuster, draws from too high an angle, close to a vertical draw,  and therefore adds to the contraction and makes the rain worse, but he does not realize that it was his attempt to stop the rain that made it worse.

Third, I figured out what was happening and when the topic came up on the Keelynet list, I send an off-list e-mail to Jerry Decker explaining my hypothesis on the subject. Jerry sent it to several of his contacts and one of them forwarded it to Ash. Ash responded with his usual barrage of vituperation and threats, which he sent copies of to several people including Jamie Ogg.

Jamie then wrote to me in a mocking, condescending tone, and included in his letter the line quoted above, confirming that Ash had done cloudbusting in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the rain.

The rest is deduced from a solid background knowledge of the orgone functioning of the atmosphere and how it reacts to cloudbusting.

Jamie says he was not the one Ash was taking technical advice from. I believe him. Jamie knows better than to do the things Ash did. If he had been the one advising Ash, the whole sequence of events would not have happened. But with Ken Schwartz advising Ash, it would be almost certain to happen. Schwartz claims to have been trained in cloudbusting by Trevor Constable. That is a lie. I contacted Peter Lindemann, who was a student of Constable for many years. He told me Schwartz was never a student of Constable and did not receive any training from him. He said Schwartz only interviewed Constable a couple of times for some articles he wrote for a website.

So this was a case of an untrained impostor advising Ash, and the result was a catastrophe. And now Ash is either in denial or trying to cover up his role in causing the disaster, but Jamie has accidentally revealed the fact that Ash did attempt to intervene and therefore confirmed my hypothesis.



According to a news item I just saw, there is a cyclone headed toward Queensland right now. I wonder if that means Ash Palise, the amateur whose tampering with the weather caused the disasterous heavy rains that flooded Queensland in the past few weeks, has been at it again.

That is not impossible. A storm is a strongly-charged orgonotic system. It will be attracted to an area of high charge. That is the principle upon which the cloudbuster can be used to steer a storm out to sea by building up an area of high charge in that direction.

If the local orgone charge becomes high enough, it would attract a storm system from out at sea towards the Queensland coast.

Ash has used a device that is not a water-grounded cloudbuster.It is called a ''spider unit'' and it is a non-grounded set of small orgone accumulators on spokes, rotating swiftly around. The fast motion through the atmospheric orgone field excites the atmosphere, causing certain changes in weather. Those changes can propagate to a considerable distance.

The rotation is driven by a small electric motor, which further excites the field of the device into a state that is toxic to persons near it. The symptoms of the toxicity can include mental disturbances in persons predisposed to such conditions. Mr. Palise has exhibited such symptoms in the past and judging from sdome recent e-mails I have received from him, they have recently been increasing, indicating that he may have been operating again.

If that is so, he will now have become the first person to cause 3 major catastrophes in so short a time. Most likely we shall never really know if he really did cause this new impending weather-related catastrophe because he refuses to admit to ever making any mistakes. But in this case, considering his recent track record, the circumstancial evidence is, like Thoreau's famous example of finding a trout in the milk, convincing enough to raise grave suspicions.

In response to the above, Australian Weather Ranger John Carter wrote:

''What a fuckwit you are.

The cyclone has been knocked down from Cat 5 to Cat 3 saving lives and property.

Obviously you would be disappointed by this.''

My reply was:

The current on-line report from the Australian government says the storm is still as strong as it ever was and is forecast to weaken only slowly as it moves over land. Your claim that it has been weakened, presumably by your or Ash's intervention, is a bit premature.

Look, could we possibly have an adult conversation on scientific topics without resorting to name-calling and personal insults? There was nothing in my e-mail that you should take personal offense at.

And disappointed is not quite the word for what I would feel if I thought you were right. Fear is more the word. Because storms like this happen for only two reasons, and the less frightening of the two is that some idiot with a cloudbuster was playing around. The other possible reason for such a storm is that there was enough DOR around to provoke the atmosphere into such a strong reaction. And if that is the case, such storms will only become more common.

So instead of snapping at each other we should be trying to work together on finding out which explanation is correct. A lot more could depend on it than someone's ego.
