Letter To A Physicist

My mailbox today contained a letter from a physicist asking about cloudbusting and expressing an interest in doing experiments to test if it works or not. My reply follows:     Dear Dr................,   I am sorry, but I am afraid I must disapoint you. Cloudbusting is an established technology which has been in use for over 50 years. There is no more reason to test it for efficacy than to test the basic concept of airplanes to find out if they fly or not. If you are not aware of the literature on the subject or the considerable number of reliable witnesses who have conducted or observed cloudbusting operations, that is a defect in your knowledge of the subject, not in the science involved.   If a modern-day Spaniard were to seriously suggest sending a ship across the Atlantic to find out if Columbus was right and there really is land on the other side, the rest of the population of Spain would think him insane. He would be ignoring the thousands of Spaniards who claim to have visited the Americas and the thousands of American toursits who land at Madrid Airport every day.   Yet, over 50 years after cloudbusting was invented, and after large numbers of reliable witnesses have published their reports on it, you have the incredible gall to seriously urge "research" to find out if all those people are telling the truth or if they are all lying or delusional.   I have never seen Japan. I have spoken to many people who say they have been there, and some who claim to be Japanese. I have read about it in books. I have seen T.V. documentaries on it. Should I doubt the existence of Japan because I have no first-hand evidence of it?    You have just as much evidence for cloudbusting as I have for the existence of Japan. People who are in a position to know tell you so. There is an extensive literature on the subject. There are video tapes on it available for sale. If that is not good enough to convince you of cloudbusting, why should the same sort of evidence convince me there is a Japan? Would you consider it reasonable to refuse to believe in the existence of Japan because I have not personally seen it?   I also want to point out that your degree in physics is not worth anything in dealing with cloudbusting. Neither is a degree in meteorology. Cloudbusting is not based on physics or meteorology. It is based on the science of ORGONE ENERGY, which is not in the curiculum in any university. Orgone energy does not obey the laws of physics as you have been taught them. There is nothing you could have learned in getting a physics degree that would help you understand cloudbusting. In fact, the reverse is true.   Having a degree in physics or meteorology is a handicap in trying to do cloudbusting. The concepts you have been taught get in the way of understanding the phenomena. The record bears this out. People with a background in physics have the worst record in the cloudbusting field for screwing up and failing to understand what they are doing.   I will not help you in your pointless quest to do "research" on the cloudbuster, a field that has been operationally tested for two generations now, and needs no further testing. I suggest you start your research program by a study of the literature.   Joel Carlinsky

The Militias & Cloudbusting

Orgone energy overcharge equals expansion, which has behavioral results of acting as if one was all-powerfull, all-knowing, and all-important. One becomes literally ''puffed up'' and ''inflated'', while someone who is chronicly lacking in orgone charge may display the oposite characteristics of depression, lack of self-esteem, and fearfullness. Incidently, the diagnosis of Constable was not mine. I heard it from an orgonomist who knew him.       I have no information on McVeigh except what I read in the papers, but the cloudbuster on his brothers Michigan farm 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) 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 very sensibly 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 deaking 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 dabling 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. One of the products of the blunder by DeMeo was a very wet summer in the upper midwest, with the Missisippi 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. But my point was that McVeigh might have been feeling ''puffed up'', self-important, arrogant, and infallible as a result of chronic orgonotic overcharge, and that that might have been a factor in his actions.

More On That Earthquake

For several years now I have been pointing out that there was a close connection in timing between the deadly San Fernando Valley earthquake of 1994 and the cloudbusting operations going on in that area at the same time by the CORE Network, a clique of cloudbuster hobbyists headed by James DeMeo, a well-known Reichian cult leader who has gained an unenviable record for environmental destructivness with the cloudbuster. I have postulated a plausable mechanism by which the particular cloudbusting operation known to have been done could have triggered an earthquake in that particular area and I have decribed in detail the known and well-established facts of orgone physics that render this mechanism likely. To be exact, I said the cloudbuster was grounded into a deep well connected to the underground aquafer and that drawing orgone into water would cause the water to expand. I postulated that that expansion triggered the earth movement. So far, Dr. DeMeo and his minions have not denied either that they were operating in the area at the time or that they were grounding the cloudbuster into a deep well, meaning of course, into the underground water table. They also have not yet denied that orgone added to water would cause an expansion of the water, just as Reich claimed in more than one publication. Now a correspondent has sent me a link to a finding by mainstream scientists that the mechanism of seismic activity being triggered by underground water is no longer speculative. It has been found to happen. This finding is hereby submitted as evidence in the mass manslaughter case of the People of the San Fernando Valley Vs. James DeMeo Et. Al. http://refreshingnews9.blogspot.com/2009/08/underground-water-triggers-quakes.html seismologists associate underground water with earthquakes

Weatherworking

The weather forecasters never have a clue, no matter what is happening. They have a wrong basic theory of how the atmosphere works, so they can never figure it out. The modern theory of the atmosphere is that it is a "heat engine", driven by temperature differences, modified by corialis forces from the spinning of the earth.

 This is totally unrelated to the reality of a constantly moving, pulsating ether, following intriniscly-dtermined paths, modified by energetic conditions both in the space around the earth, and within the atmosphere of the planet. This energetic sub-stratum imparts motion to mass, causing the material atmosphere to move, and the direction, speed, and other characteristics of that motion are determined by the motions of the ether.

So meteorologists do not understand the atmosphere, therefore they cannot forecast what it will do acurately.

There are several ways the ether can be manipulated, including by the human energy field, in so-called "telekinetic cloudbusting, which has always been known to shamans, etc.

So-called "radionics" machines use the same principàl, but disguise it so even the operator often does not know this is how he is doing it. I suspect the devices irresponsibly being peddled by Don Croft and his following work on the same principal, since the design is not likely to have any significant effect on the ether.

The Reich Cloudbuster differs from such traditional means of manipulation of the ether by the greater "fetch", the distance from which the cloudbuster can draw from, and the greater drawing power of a much larger body of water for grounding than the 12 pints or so in the human body.

 Also, the biological methods cause a local contraction of the atmosphere, centered on the location of the operator, not directional as is a cloudbuster draw other than from vertical, while the cloudbuster causes a point-to-point motion across the surface of the planet unless pointed straight up.

 The difference is seen on weather maps as a localized low-presure area directly overhead to the opèrator in cases of human energy field effects, vs. a lateral movement across the surface of the earth when a cloudbuster is operating.

"Climate is what you expect and weather is what you get."

"Climate is what you expect and weather is what you get."
   --Lazarus Long

Single weather events can tell us little about the climate. Climate is the long-term average of daily weather and no single cold snap or heat wave means much. Day to day weather  change is happening all the time for natural reasons, of course, but the area of concern is long term climate change, not individual weather events. And the question is, what portion of what is happening in the atmosphere is caused by human imput?

I think quite a lot of what is happening is caused by humans. Most of it, in fact. But very little by the so-called "greenhouse gases" that are so much in the mainstream news. Humans are affecting the weather in many ways, but by far the worst of them is the use of radioactivity for both civilian and military purposes. This imput, called "oranur" by the small Reichian sub-culture which understands it, is responsible for the majority of the atmospheric disruptions being noticed, but wrongly attributed to "greenhouse gases".

The next most significant human imput into disruption of the climate regime that has prevailed over the last 5,000 years is the proliferation of cloudbusters. Before the advent of the internet, cloudbusting was known only to a small in-group. Nearly everyone who took it seriously was known to everyone else. Now, thanks to the internet, irresponsible people have widely diseminated the very simple information on how to build a very effective cloudbuster, but hardly anyone knows how to use it properly.

I have identified numerous incidents of severe storms and other serious major weather events caused by incompetent cloudbusting. Most of the time these same events are trumpeted in the media as "evidence" of "global warming". They are nothing of the kind. They are evidence of idiots playing around with cloudbusters.

But so far, most of the people doing cloudbusting have only been doing things that have a short-term effect, weather, not climate. If the techniques for inducing long-term lasting effects from cloudbusting become popularized, as is now starting to happen, then cloudbusting will become a cause of long term climate change, not only of individual weather events.

If that happens, we might as well give up on trying to preserve anything at all on this planet.

Lost Knowledge

 In 1987, the late Jay Mikesell and I spent some time at Eva Reichs' place in Maine, having tutoring in Orgone Biophysics from her. We paid her for that tutoring. As far as I know, we were the only ones ever to have such tutoring, and she once told me that of all the people who had asked her about her fathers' work, I was the only one who asked the right questions.

 

We taped the whole thing, and I still have about 22 hours of the seminar on tape. Maybe someday, if I ever get the money, I will have it transcribed and made into a book.

 

Since Jay died a few years ago, I guess that leaves me as the only person left to have had training in orgone biophysics from the person Reich designated as his successor. I have a letter from Eva Reich testifying to that, and saying she considers me "very knowledgeable in that field".

 

Maybe someday, if anyone is interested, I will give a seminar and try to pass on some of that knowledge.

 

Eva should have been teaching all those years after Reich died; the unfortunate circumstances that removed her as trustee of his estate and effectively prevented her from filling that role could have been countered if funding had been available to set up a school of orgonomy, but it never was. I tried on several occassions to raise funding for orgonomic work, and setting up a venue for her to teach orgonomy was one of my top priorities, but I never was able to raise the money.

 

And now, with the de facto sequesturation of the Reich Archives apparently becoming permanent, much of the unique body of knowledge brought into being by Wilhelm Reich is apparently lost forever.

Science

The word "science" has come to mean something almost directly oposite to what it is suposed to mean. Science, in the modern sense of the natural sciences, is suposed to be the study of natural phenomena. In that sense, bird-watching is a scientific field of study. But in the last 100 years or so, "science" has almost reversed its meaning from the study of nature to the study of artificial, man-made phenomena which exist only in the laboratory or experimental set-up and are not found in nature.

 

The rise of a formal scientific culture with a set of admission requirements, a hierarchy of ranks, and rights and priviledges according to ones official standing has led to a set of standards that all scientific research must conform to, resulting in a systematized body of pseudoknowledge commonly called "scientific fact", but in reality, more like an official dogma.

 

I prefer the older form of science, the natural sciences, which can be investigated by studying nature, not by studying artificial phenomena in a sterile laboratory setting. There is no reason for a scientist, studying the natural world, to have any formal certification from anyone. Nobody has the right to say who is a scientist and who is not. And there is likewise no body of people who can dictate what form the study of the natural world can take.

 

In the old system of science, prior to about 1900 or so, someone like Van Leuenhoek, for example, could explore nature in his own way, at his own pace, and address the august Royal Society about his findings even thought he was a draper by trade. Every practicing medical doctor was also expected to publish his findings, based on his observations of his patients, not on controlled studies, in medical journals. A gentleman farmer like Thomas Jefferson could be a practicing scientist on his farm, like a former neighbor of mine who discovered a mash that would prevent poultry cancer and dug up dinosaur fosils on his chicken farm. He had the only combination chicken farm, dinosaur museum, and cancer research lab in the world.  

 

Today, nobody thinks something is science unless it conforms to the arbitrary and politicized standards of an official science cult. Despite the rationalizations that this ensures better quality control in findings which are to be diseminated as fact, the real purpose of this custom is to ensure the continued dominance of the hierachy of science.

 

And in the process, a lot of valid observations and real knowledge falls through the cracks, lost and forgotten because it was not discovered in the approved way by the approved people and was not formulated in the approved manner and published in the approved journals.

 

So, yes, I do call what I do "science". And the opinion of the scientific cultists does not interest me
