The Populist Cloudbusting Movement; A Menace To The Atmosphere
by Joel Carlinsky
The basic cause of weather on earth is the vast cosmic streams of orgone energy that sweep in from space, circle the earth, and are discharged back into space in the form of lightning from the nearly constant belt of thunderstorm activity that circles the earth at the equator. The motion of the atmosphere is imparted to it by orgone motion, and the pulsation of the orgone streams is responsible for the formation of the chemical constituents of the atmosphere, including water.
The cyclical variations shown in the paleontological record are due to the cycles of the cosmic orgone energy in the solar system, and those same orgone phenomena are responsible for other cycles such as those of sunspots, solar flares, and the orbital dynamics of the planets. The reason earthly weather correlates with astronomical events is because the same cosmic orgone influxes determine both.
Nobody doubts that natural changes in climate have happened in the past and are happening now. The only debate is about how much additional change is being added to that by human activity. The current public relations storm over alleged "greenhouse gases" is obscuring the real issue of the effects on weather of DOR, most of which is man-made.

The current public relations storm over alleged "greenhouse gases" is obscuring the real issue of the effects on weather of DOR, most of which is man-made.
The current official scientific doctrine holds that the atmosphere contains certain gases that act to trap heat from the sun and warm up the earth. The theory holds that these so-called "greenhouse gases" are now increasing due to increased combustion of oil and coal by humans. The theory also holds that this increase in greenhouse gases is the main driving force behind observed climate changes.
The view of the atmosphere espoused by the people who propound this theory is called the "heat engine" theory of the atmosphere.It holds that atmospheric motion is caused by differences in temperature between different locales and that as the atmosphere heats up, since the heating is unequally distributed over the surface of the earth, more intense weather will result.
As a result, any extreme weather event is considered evidence for this theory being correct. Any lasting climate variation or trend is also considered evidence that the theory is thereby shown to be correct. and the demonstrable correlation between climate changes and increase of human populations and industrialization is also seen as evidence the theory is correct.
A minority opinion holds that the climate changes are of natural origin and the correlation of increased industrialization with climate changes is coincidental. The correlation between climate changes and increased industrial activity over the past few generations is so strong, however, that this position is not likely to convince many scientists.
There is another minority opinion, however, that is much less well-known. It is the orgonomic opinion, sometimes called the Reichian opinion, after Wilhelm Reich, who first proposed it in the 1950s. This theory holds that it is indeed the increase in human technology and human population that is causing the climate changes that are observed, but that it is nuclear technology rather than combustion that is the operative factor.
This theory presents the case that there is an underlying energetic continuum that is responsible for atmospheric motion, that this continuum is sensitive to stimuli, including radioactivity, and that the motion of this continuum is disrupted by contact with radioactivity. In this view, the observations of a correlation of climate changes and extreme weather events with increase of population and industrialization are seen as a result of the increase of human use of radioactivity over the past few generations.
The orgonomic theory can account for every single one of the observations upon which the greenhouse gases theory rests. It can also account for a large number of other observations which the greenhouse gases theory does not explain.
These include changes in color and light intensity in the sky over the past 50 years, atmospheric stagnation in the wake of aircraft transporting radioactive cargo, including armed nuclear weapons, resulting in longer dispersal times for the water-vapor contrails left behind by jet aircraft, along with changes in the usual color of such contrails, and numerous illnesses of humans, animals, and plants, described by Reich under the term, "DOR sickness".

The orgonomic theory also can explain the functioning of a device called a "cloudbuster" which can trigger movement of air masses over considerable distances, despite the fact that it does not produce any perceptible heat. If differences in temperature were really responsible for atmospheric motion, the cloudbuster could not affect atmospheric motion since no difference in temperature is caused by it. So the fact that the device can change the motion of large air masses is evidence for the orgonomic theory of atmospheric behavior being due to an energetic continuum that responds to stimuli, rather than to temperature differences.
The most important greenhouse gas in the atmosphere is water vapor. Water vapor is about 100 times more effective as a greenhouse gas than CO2, which is the most common of the combustion products regarded as greenhouse gases, and is the one most usually cited as responsible for the greatest amount of atmospheric warming. There is also about 100 times as much of it as there is of CO2. Taken together, these numbers mean the presumed contribution of water vapor to the presumed atmospheric warming must be on the order of 10,000 times as much as that of combustion-generated CO2.
But the normal fluctuation of water vapor in the atmosphere at most places on earth is around 10% from one year to another. So any likely input from additional CO2 would be lost in the vastly greater effect from water vapor.
So the changes in climate are almost certainly the result of something other than increase in CO2, but since they do correlate so well with human population increase and industrialization, the only remaining explanation that holds up is the orgonomic theory, that it is the technological use of radioactivity, not combustion of coal and oil, that is the cause of the observed climate changes and increase in extreme weather events.

Some DOR has always existed. It is a normal stage in the metabolism of orgone energy. Under normal conditions it is soon metabolized back into the moving orgone field of the earth. But today, mostly due to the use of radioactivity by the humans, the amount of DOR has been vastly increased and has gotten beyond the ability of the normal atmospheric processes to metabolize. The result is increasing climate breakdown.
By "climate breakdown" I mean increased randomization and chaos of the atmosphere, with less stability and more random variations, less predictability, and ever-greater extremes. In reaction to the increase in DOR, there will be more frequent and more severe storms, especially including tornadoes, which form as a reaction of the remaining healthy orgone to the irritation of DOR.
About 80% of the man-made DOR in the atmosphere is from the nuclear industry, both military and civilian. Another 10% is caused by the use of electromagnetic technology in the form of radio and TV broadcasting, radar, microwave, high-tension long-distance power transmission lines, and other electrical devices. Most of the rest is from bad land-use practices such as deforestation, plowing, paving, and building dams on large rivers.
The rapid increase in DOR is the most serious environmental problem on earth. The cloudbuster is the only way known to reverse the damage and restore atmospheric pulsation and health. If used properly, it holds the possibility of survival of life on earth, which is otherwise highly unlikely.
But in the present situation, where anyone with access to the internet can learn how to build one, and there is almost no place to learn how to use it properly, this populist "Volkscloudbusting" movement has become an environmental menace second only to the nuclear industry.
As the mass fascination with cloudbusters gathers steam, we can expect more and more of these ill-thought-out "projects" by people who mean well, but cannot see that what they are doing is vandalizing the atmosphere at the very time in history when it can least withstand it. They may mean well, but they would never think of attempting major surgery without going to medical school or trying to fly an airliner without ever having had flying lessons. And they just cannot see that what they are doing by trying to "help" by building a cloudbuster and playing around with the atmosphere is just as irresponsible.
A large part of the problem is that with no mainstream official scientific consensus on the cloudbuster, or indeed, on any aspect of orgonomy, everyone feels free to dream up any half-baked "theory" of his own and invent whatever explanation he wishes for how a cloudbuster works. Many of even the most incompetent operators have found a following of people even more ignorant than themselves, and think that by "thinking about it", and by throwing in a bit of out-of-context knowledge of mechanistic physics, they have "improved" on the knowledge of orgone energy that took a world-class mind like Reich a lifetime of actual experimenting to merely scratch the surface of.
And to that recipe for disaster can be added the tendency to mix the scientific findings of orgonomy with various forms of mysticism, none of which can provide the slightest bit of evidence. The superficial resemblance of the descriptions of orgone energy, a scientifically verifiable physical force, to the vague and scientifically worthless dogmas of many religions and ancient philosophies encourages many beginners to try to blend orgonomy with their favorite brand of mysticism.
Plus, the natural human tendency to dodge and avoid the full implications of the orgone theory as regards social and sexual behavior. Many people, for rather obvious reasons, resist the fact that to do cloudbusting properly, one should be in a relationship that permits regular and satisfactory sexual discharge, and that without that factor in ones personal life, cloudbusting is a serious risk to ones health. "New" and "improved" theories of how the cloudbuster functions are almost always an attempt to desexualize the orgone theory to make it more tolerable for a person who finds the theories of Reich disquieting.
But there is seldom any convincing these people. If you try, you are met with "I read it on the internet" or " It is in the sacred old book", or "If you refuse to believe this traditional belief of some non-western culture you are being narrow-minded and culturally biased" or " I was told this by a spiritually-enlightened master" or " I saw it in a sacred vision", or some other attempt to discourage rational thinking.
And while the chickens cluck, monkeying around with cloudbusters while promoting their useless "theories" and rationalizations for avoiding the important findings of Reich, unless the cloudbuster is soon put to PROPER use, the orgone energy, the life energy of the atmosphere, is at double risk, not only from the malign influence of DOR, but increasingly, from the almost as malign influence of cloudbuster proliferation.
