One correspondent says he has his own theory of how a cloudbuster works. Here is my reply to him:
Dear...................,
I would like to clear up a misconception you have. In your letter, you mentioned that Reich "stumbled upon" the cloudbuster, and you said he "thought up the orgone theory to explain it". Both those statements are untrue.
At the time the cloudbuster was invented, Reich had already been working with orgone energy for 13 years and had discovered many characteristics of it, each of which had been confirmed by several experiments, all of which had then been independently replicated by his co-workers.
He had seen that one of a pair of rubber gloves hung in direct sunlight for a time would then deflect the leaves of an electroscope while the other, which had been hung in the shade, would not. But when the charged glove was held under water for a few seconds, it lost the charge and would no longer affect the electroscope. This showed that water absorbed orgone energy.
Along with that fact, readings of the charge of an orgone accumulator varied according to humidity showed that orgone concentrations in the atmosphere were affected by water vapor absorbing the orgone charge and preventing the accumulator from charging up. This showed that water attracts and holds orgone energy.
He had also seen that the charge reacted to distant weather events, such as a hurricane far to the south, long before the storm system came close to his location. He had found that he could predict the weather several days in advance just from the charge in his orgone accumulating devices. Changes took place in the orgone tension days before they worked themselves out in observable weather conditions.
He had also built, and several M.D. associates were already using in every-day medical practice, a small orgone accumulator called a "shooter" which had a hollow flexible steel tube inserted into it and a small funnel at the other end. The orgone charge inside the small accumulator was conducted along the hollow tube and the funnel was applied to the site of an injury to speed up healing. So it was known that orgone could be conducted along hollow tubes
So before a cloudbuster had ever been built, all the elements of it were already well-known and tested experimentally. Reich already knew that orgone was attracted by water, that it could be conducted along hollow metalic tubes, and that the orgone concentration in the atmosphere was what determined weather.
Far from accidentally happening to discover cloudbusting by luck, he knew in advance all the important facts that make cloudbusting possible. The value of a theory in science and the test of that theory, is it's ability to PREDICT what will happen when something is done, and in this case, the orgone theory PREDICTED the functioning of the cloudbuster.
The theory was not "thought up" afterwards to "explain" what had been seen. It was developed over years of concrete experiments and the cloudbuster was the result. That the cloudbuster works is proof of the correctness of the theory upon which it is based. If the theory were wrong, the cloudbuster would never have been invented.
So nobody can just come along after the fact and present their own "theory" of how a cloudbuster works. It is already known how a cloudbuster works and no new theory is needed.
That is why I cannot agree with your claim to have come up with an alternative "explanation" for how a cloudbuster functions. To do that, you would first have to come up with explanations for each and every one of the elements of the orgone theory. You would need to explain how orgone energy is attracted to water, how it flows along metal tubes, how the concentration of it in the atmosphere affects weather up to several days afterwards, and at distances up to 1500 miles or more, etc. And you would need to present experimental evidence for each of these new explanations.
Your explanation for how a cloudbuster could work could only apply if there was no other fact involved in cloudbusting except that a cloudbuster works. It cannot apply in the real world situation in which a cloudbuster works in a context of numerous already known facts, each of which can be independently confirmed.
Until you can incorporate the entire spectrum of demonstrated orgone-physics data into your theory, it will remain unable to explain the phenomenon of cloudbusting.

Mission Statement
Cloudbuster Attacks On Planet Earth
**************************************************************************************************
In recent years, as the internet has made it possible for anyone with a
computer to spread the word about anything they please, irresponsible
instructions for building cloudbusters have mushroomed and
cloudbusting is now second only to nuclear power as the worst environmental
threat.
Cloudbuster proliferation has become a major environmental problem.
The cloudbuster is a very simple, easy to construct device that can be used to help restore a sick, damaged atmosphere to normal self-regulatory functioning.
This re-establishment of natural self-regulation to the atmosphere when it has become damaged and stagnated is the goal of any properly-done cloudbusting project.
Unfortunately, many people fail to grasp this point. Anyone who uses terms like "weather engineering", "etheric engineering", "weather control", "rainmaking", and the like, does not understand this important factor in cloudbusting.
It is an unfortunate side-effect of cloudbusting that it can be misused to cause rain and can have other direct effects on the weather.
The Orgonomic Ecology group exists to explore ways and means to stop the proliferation of cloudbusters and expose to public outrage the power-drunkards and control-freaks who are attacking our atmosphere with cloudbusters, however they may rationalize their destructiveness.
We will pull no punches. We will name names and fight back against the propaganda of the atmosphere abusers and their enablers.
We regard Atmosphere Abuse as similar to other, more personal, forms of abuse, such as abuse of children or animals. The psychology of the abuser is the same, and we intend to expose that pathology.
We seek to build an anti-cloudbuster movement that can bring to a halt the rapidly growing hobby of manipulating the weather by control-freaks who are unable to leave the natural world alone.

Cloudbusting is a menace to the environment. Despite some claims to the contrary, cloudbusting is not a solution to environmental problems; it is a problem in itself, a destructive technology requiring a condemnatory response by the environmental movement. Cloudbusting is not something new; it is already so comonplace as to be intolerable and an environmental movement to control this currently unregulated technology is needed to protect the public. All over the world people are getting worried about what is happening to the climate. Each year, it seems, there are more and more extreme weather events of increasing severity and frequency. Records are being broken more often than ever before in recorded history. It is clear the climate of the entire world is becoming destabilized, less reliable, more random and chaotic, with droughts, floods, heat waves, and severe cold spells becoming the norm. While there are several factors involved in this climatic breakdown, one seldom recognized major factor in this climate destabilization is the existence of a technological means to interfere with the natural movement of the atmosphere on a large scale. This device, called a cloudbuster, is simple and cheap enough to construct that in recent years hundreds of individuals all over the world, learning about it from instructions promiscuously posted on irresponsible websites, have taken it up as a backyard hobby. Many of these individuals tend to be paranoid and delusional, and are using the cloudbuster as a sort of prop in a role-playing game, often imagining themselves to be fighting off hostile UFOs, resisting a secret government plot of some kind, or changing "bad" atmospheric energy into "good". Many others claim they are "ending droughts", "making rain", or "doing research". They seem oblivious to the fact that the droughts they think they are ending resume as soon as they stop operating because the underlying cause of the drought has not been adressed. They fail to understand that the goal of proper cloudbusting is not to make rain, but to restore normal pulsation of the atmospheric energy so that, among other effects, rain will occur spontaneously as needed. They ignore the rights of the people affected to be told what is being done to their environment and to have some say in the matter, and that subjecting people to a research program who have not given their informed consent is a human rights violation. Some think they are "greening deserts", while in reality, they are subjecting the fragile dryland ecosystem to unusual stress from excessive rainfall in areas where all native life-forms are well-adapted to the prevailing conditions. They usually have no idea of the scientific basis upon which the cloudbuster works, or fantasize, without evidence, that some wildly speculative theory of their own concoction is the better theory. Frequently they have little idea of what a cloudbuster is capable of, many of them, for example, thinking it only affects their local area. As a result of these incompetent interventions in atmospheric dynamics, countless innocent victims have died and the environment has been seriously disturbed in numerous weather-related catastrophes. Due to their paranoia they do not often communicate what they are doing to others working in the same field. Many of them, in fact, think they are the only ones doing anything with what they think is a somehow suppressed and secret invention. Many others are so arrogant they think nobody except themselves and their associates is able to conduct cloudbusting operations safely and properly, so they refuse to co-operate with those they deem "unqualified". While there is certainly nothing secret or suppressed about the cloudbuster, it is regarded as crackpot by many of the scientific community, in large part because of the absurd fictions and folklore with which it has become surrounded. The fantastic legends of its' inventor, Wilhelm Reich, having been the victim of official persecution, or of some alleged conspiratorial plot, or having fought wars with beings from outer space, or having had meetings with Einstein, serve to distract attention from the serious issue of the menace of the cloudbuster he invented. This large body of folklore functions to hide the reality of the cloudbuster as an effective, science-based tool and disguise it as a crackpot fantasy. It is perfectly right, in fact, the only rational response of anyone with even the slightest scientific education, to dismiss such a device as incapable of having any effect on the weather when it is presented wrapped in such packaging. The failure to recognize the imput into the total atmospheric picture of this proliferation of crackpots playing around with cloudbusters means the scientists trying to understand the weather are misled into ignoring that a large portion of unusual weather events are being caused by this unsuspected form of technological intervention and instead think the climate changes now underway are being caused by some other factor, such as greenhouse effect from combustion products released into the atmosphere. Any theory of what is happening with the weather and climate on this planet must take the social phenomena of a mass movement of cloudbuster hobbyists into account. And the environmental movement must mount an effective effort to counter this form of blatant interference with the atmosphere. If and when cloudbusting is ever recognized by the scientific community as a science-based reality rather than a prop in a fantasy role-playing game, then it can be expected that official agencies will take over the job of protecting the public from improper use of the cloudbuster. But until then, it is up to concerned environmentalists to fill that role. Otherwise, until cloudbusting can be regulated, countless innocent victims will continue to die each year from cloudbuster-murder by crackpot Reichians. And greenhouse gases from combustion will take the rap. The world is now facing serious economic problems at least partially caused by the mistaken belief that the atmospheric disorder caused by cloudbusting is due to a greenhouse effect instead, and numerous laws are in the process of being passed taxing or restricting fuel-burning activities in an effort to prevent weather disasters that are really being caused by cloudbusting and could only be prevented by restricting the use of cloudbusters. Until effective regulation is in place, however, the few responsible people who are aware of the threat posed by cloudbusters must be ready and willing to take whatever action is needed to stop the use of cloudbusters in their home areas. Direct intervention by concerned citizens is often the only way to prevent serious harm to the earth and to the public, and this is one of those cases. |
