Global Chill Already Cometh?
Global Chill Already Cometh?
Intensive work at OBRL has prevented the usual commentary and postings. However, the recent tragedy of massive tornado strikes in the Midwest, with political speeches claiming this is the result of "global warming" deserves giving the matter some attention.
First, a nice blue-glowing cloud picture, details about which are also given below:
To continue, I have no idea what the devotees to the "CO2-Warming" theory of climate changes are saying -- probably continuing with the same old mantra -- but this last winter has been exceptionally cold for most of the Northern Hemisphere, with records broken as to bitter cold temps and massive snowfalls across Europe, Asia and Alaska.
For example:
Cold Wave hits China, coldest in 30 years.
An internet search on "China Bitter Cold 2013" will bring up more of the same, indicating this was not just a one-time episode.
Moscow Cold, Snow, 50 year records broken.
An internet search on "Moscow cold snow records broken 2013" or "Russia..." will show more of the same. Here's a few reports from April 2013:
Alaska longest snow season on record, breaking a 30 year past record.
Europe also hit by record cold, snows:
Darkest Winter (lack of sun due to incessant clouds, snow, rain) for Germany in 43 years.
Very nice blue-glowing clouds picture at this website, reproduced above.
Ooops we must correct that, it is the Darkest Winter ever recorded for Germany:
OK, having said all that, it is true that "weather is not climate", even though climate is produced by the averaged aggregate of measured weather data. So what are the averages saying?
Finally the more scientifically inclined members of the "warming" community are admitting that something is not correct with their theories. As documented here:
Has Global Warming Come to a Halt?
Note the trends on this website: From 1950 to 1975 approx., no basic change in global temps. From 1980 to 1998, a warming trend. Then from 1998 to today, global temperatures have leveled off. Note the graph of El-Nino/La-Niña events, and how the peaks give rise to global changes. Likewise the small volcanic symbols, indicating sun-blocking dusts in the upper atmosphere. This particular website takes the "warmist" view, so even this begrudging admission is remarkable. Some of the weblinks on this page are rather outrageous in unscientific claim-making, rather like cheer-leaders for a football team, as if scientific conclusions needed cheer-leading to "win" -- of course this is cheerleading for Billions in grant money, for "their side". Whatever happened to old-fashioned scientific investigation, and allowing the truth to fall where it may?
Here's more, the British met office being a bit more reliable than the American NOAA or the cherry-picked "consensus" community of "scientists" whomever that is supposed to be. The last time the IPCC made such surveys, they included all kinds of leftist political hacks and "activists" from neo-Marxist environmental groups. "Climate Deniers" were of course excluded from such surveys.
Global Warming stopped 16 years ago, Met Office.
16 years ago was what? 1997-1998 The worst El Nino on record, highest global temps from that, but not from CO2 emissions.
Even the die-hard Leftist BBC finally admits, sort of, that well, maybe, POSSIBLY, their theory on warming isn't panning out as it should:
Then of course, the major radical-left politicians weigh in on the issue:
Team Obama calls global warming doubters 'crazy'
Mygod, are we now supposed to bow to the King's Hat? (If you don't know what that means, then you really have been under-educated. Look it up.) Yeah, it is the global warming critics who are the untrustworthy people, not the political hacks in Washington DC.
And just in case you think the recent disastrous tornado outbreak has something to do with global warming, just go back a few decades and the same mainstreamers today pushing the "warming" scenario as the cause of weather catastrophes were then blaming "global cooling":
1975 : Tornado Outbreaks Blamed On Global Cooling
In fact, the Little Ice Age was a time of many weather disasters, globally failed crops, famines and epidemic diseases, wars and government collapse. Definitely not so good as the Medieval Warm Period, which was still warmer on average than anything we have experienced in the last 1000 years! The MWP was a time of excellent crops, economic boom, abundance and plenty, fewer wars, with extra money to finance voyages of exploration, massive architectural projects, works of art, and so on.
This modern "climate change" fascism would have you believe otherwise, and this means, well, just ignore all those reports given above. Erase them from your memory, even if you experienced such bitter cold. That kind of intellectual fascism as pushed by the "warmers" is playing out exactly as happened with government, industry and academic support for nuclear power reactors back in the same 1970s. No matter what the evidence, they KNEW nuclear power plants were "safe, cheap, efficient", etc., even though all evidence showed it was unsafe, expensive and inefficient. So dissenting professors were fired, academic journals censored papers revealing the dangers, Big Lies were told in Science and Nature and by all the political hacks and "journalists" in the newspapers and on TV. The dissenters were either silenced or pilloried, just as today are the dissenters to the CO2 theory of warming. It took the disasters of Three Mile Island, Chernobyl and Fukushima to keep the Atomic Power Vampire sealed in its crypt. What disasters will be necessary to put an end to the intensive planning for increased warming, when in fact we should be putting more attention to the cold side of things.
We have yet another cold blast of winter headed into the Pacific Northwest just as I write this, in the latter part of May. Maybe a chilly brush, or a big dump of snow. Who can say? No clear idea what lays ahead, except that it won't be like what is predicted out of Washington DC. Prepare accordingly.

New Publication on W. Reich's Bion Discovery
Courtesy Announcement
Help Support Orgonomic Research by Purchase of
New Books By Working Researchers and Authors
New Publication on W. Reich's Bion Discovery
(and related work by Robert Brown and H.C. Bastian)
Artificers of Fraud by Peter Jones
ISBN 978-0-9574850-06
Paperback, £12:00 (British Pounds) or 15:00 Euros, or $20 US dollar
160 + pages, numerous photographs and diagrams, with glossary, and index.
This book tells the story of how mainstream science has twice denied and concealed the discovery of the origin of life, the until now mysterious step by which non-life moves to become life. Robert Brown, the great botanist and microscopist witnessed the process in 1827 and described it in his famous 1828 paper, A Brief Account of Microscopical ObservationsHe observed apparently alive, motile bodies emerging from pollen grains in water. These gathered in clumps that spontaneously rolled or bent. He unmistakably connected his discovery to the earlier work of other pioneers in the same field. A year later, in 1829, he published a strange document, Additional Remarks, in which he denied he had ever made such a claim. His paper has gone down in the history of science as the discovery of 'Brownian motion.'
In 1936 Wilhelm Reich discovered the process of bionous disintegration. Dead matter, allowed to swell in water or a nutrient fluid, broke down into microscopic vesicles that he named bions. These pulsated, danced around each other in pairs, and often agglomerated into motile proto-organisms. His moving vesicles were dismissed as 'Brownian motion' or contamination. He published his findings openly, but no-one made a serious attempt to replicate his experiments and his findings were ridiculed. A press campaign tried to hound him out of Norway, where he was working as a refugee from Nazism. He escaped to the USA just before the outbreak of World War II and continued with his work.
Artificers of Fraud summarises the stories of Browns and Reich's work, and shows how science's denial and concealment have continued to this day. It includes the text of Brown's original two papers and extracts from Reich's writings on the topic. It includes enough information for students of microscopy and even beginners to repeat these classic experiments themselves, information on buying a microscope, a detailed glossary of relevant terms and names, and an index.

New Announcements and Forthcoming Books & Events
New Announcements and Forthcoming Books & Events
If you were wondering about the silence of the last weeks, it was for good reasons.
We are presently in the final stages for several new books, soon to be published.
Firstly, my own new book, in preparation for the last two years, will be typeset and available for purchase in about one month:
In Defense of Wilhelm Reich: Opposing the 80-Years' War of
Mainstream Defamatory Slander Against One of the 20th Century's
Most Brilliant Physicians and Natural Scientists
by James DeMeo
It is 280 pages with numerous illustrations. A more formal announcement will be posted out, with a copy of the book cover, Table of Contents and descriptive information, once it is available.
Also hopefully before the end of this year, there will be new Greek, Spanish and Italian translations of the Revised and Updated 2010 edition of my Orgone Accumulator Handbook. Formal announcements on those will also go out later in the year.
SALE ON SAHARASIA
I've noticed over the years, that every time there is some shocking Islamic terror attack in Europe or America, as recently happened in Boston, there is an increase of interest in my Saharasia book. This is understandable, in that with all the other distractions we have in our lives, those life-or-death circumstances crash us back into the reality of the violent and dangerous condition of the world. People become temporarily more emotionally alert, and some of them even begin searching out answers beyond the usual superficial analysis (or outright denial and cover-up) as presented in the mainstream media, or as found in political speeches. Saharasia can help in this regard.
Saharasia is essential for understanding the ancient and modern context of social violence and warfare, and especially the problem of Islamic terror which has been with us now for nearly 1400 years. As my work demonstrated, Islamic terror has foundations within the ideology and creed of the Saharasian warrior-nomads of ancient times, as encoded today within child-rearing practices, sexual ideology and repressions, as demanded through various social institutions, laws, tribal customs and religious doctrines. While other world religions and cultures have undergone their own Reformations, with freedom-oriented struggles against the power of religious autocracy, Islam has not yet done so, and seems to be a particularly tough nut to crack in that regards.
Saharasia details such foundational difficulties as firstly described by Wilhelm Reich regarding the serious sex-economic problems within Nazi Germany and Communist Russia. My study on Saharasia took the same key causal elements for creation of severe and traumatic human armoring, and armored societies, and reviews them for over 1100 individual world cultures. All are identified by region on world maps, to review which cultures are less armored and more peaceful in character, versus which are more armored and violent, and hence are more likely to commit serious violence both within-culture, and against outside cultures. It addresses serious issues in explicit regional geography, which are neglected by both the left-wing and right-wing in their approach to the contemporary madness afflicting our world.
Consequently, for about another week, we will be offering the 2006 full edition of Saharasia at a greatly reduced price of $9.95 plus shipping to anyplace in the world. The book normally retails for $39.95 and is similarly offered at that price on international websites. This new offering is actually at our cost for printing, so if you wanted a copy but were hesitating, now is a good time to purchase.

Climate Change Update
Climate Change Update
Life has been busy at our mountain laboratory, where so far we've had the 2nd greatest snowfall since the OBRL facility was constructed starting back in 1994. More snow on the way over February, March and April, at least, by the climatological expectations.
Meanwhile I've provided links below for a number of articles and reports on the global climate situation. But there are a few more commercial and scholarly items of merit deserving attention.
There is a very good DVD item from History Channel, titled
The Little Ice Age: Big Chill (LIA). It is one of the more accurate climate documentaries I've seen. It was made in 2005, but for reasons of probable political correctness, was not announced to the public until most recently. It doesn't even have a fancy cover, and when you see it, you'll realize the reason is because it down-plays the global CO2 warming hysteria with interviews and documentation on the very real nature of the LIA. For those who study authentic climate science, there's nothing particularly new in it, other than the film crew actually travelling to various world regions and showing things which document the LIA as a real phenomenon of past centuries, in addition to the various interviews with climatologists most won't recognize -- because they aren't from the popularity crowd of the "warmer" camp. The video does toss a bone to the warmers near the end, but correctly present the warming theory as one of many possibilities, without necessarily tying any warming to a rise in CO2. They also discuss the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) which supports the idea that the current warming trend is the consequence of natural cycles. The more ruthless of the climate science pretenders, as at the IPCC and Wikipedia, have done their best to erase or minimize the MWP and LIA, as they stand as a stark testament to pre-Industrial warming and then a plunge into chilly climate, that cannot be the consequence of industrial CO2, and help us to understand that the current warming cycle which began around 1750 is merely the expression of a gradual warming from the colder conditions of the LIA. The reality is, we've had climate periods warmer than today, and cooler than today, but for human history we have not yet gone back into the full deep-freeze similar to the old Pleistocene glacial epoch. That Really Big Chill will happen eventually, sure as snow, but nobody is too sure about when, and until it does happen we will experience smaller oscillations of climate. Climates change. That was known well before the politically-motivated factions of "climate science" began to misappropriate the term for their own agendas. And also to monopolize funding for climate research, which makes them "popular" among the media types. Anyhow, my recommendation is to get that DVD and self-education, then share around. I've provided the links where it can be purchased on Amazon.com but possibly you can find it elsewhere.
Also two other books on this subject I can highly recommend:
Jean Grove: The Little Ice Age - by one of the world's top scholars on the subject. This one is a bit pricey, but no more than many college textbooks, and should be in the library of any professional concerned with the climate issues.
Brian Fagan: The Little Ice Age - Another scholarly but more readable overview on the horrific conditions of the LIA - crop failures, famine, starvation, economic decline, wars, epidemic diseases, turbulent oceans blocking exploration.
Below I give some additional notes from recent news reports, of major chills and snows of this season.
Good climate and fortunes,

New Issue, Vol.11, ANNALS OF THE INSTITUTE FOR ORGONOMIC SCIENCE has been published
Courtesy Announcement
++++++
The latest issue of the Annals of the Institute for Orgonomic Science, Volume 11, Number 1, (2011) is now available.
Starting with this issue, the Annals is available online both as a print-on-demand hardcopy ($25 plus postage) and as a pdf download ($15). You may order the new Annals at:
This issue includes the following seven articles:
In "Malinowski Revisited and Reich's Children on the Future," Morton Herskowitz discusses Reich's insights concerning childhood in the light of Bronislaw Malinowski's findings in his classic anthropological studies of the Trobriand islanders.
In "Double-Blind Controlled Experiments in the Orgone Energy Accumulator," Philip Bennett reviews the history of double-blind methods in biomedical research, noting the paucity of their use in orgonomic research. He then describes recent double-blind studies demonstrating biological effects of a device that resembles the orgone energy accumulator.
In "Onion Plant Responses to Orgone Accumulator Treatment," J. Heckman presents data from two field experiments on the effects of different durations of accumulator treatment of onion bulbs before planting. Although no significant differences in plant growth parameters were noted, the results suggest that orgone accumulator treatment may retard leaf senescence.
In "Politics, Religion and Human Nature," Peter Robbins illustrates how irrationalism in politics and society have obstructed scientific research on unidentified flying objects.
In "Children as Teachers," Dorothea Fuckert describes her experiences parenting based on self-regulation. She describes what she and her husband learned from their two sons as they grew up from infancy through their experiences at Summerhill School and into early adulthood.
In "Foundations for a Functional Analysis of Economics," Dean Davidson describes Reich's use of Karl Marx's analysis of living working power and its role in the production of surplus value. He contrasts Reich's approach with more recent attempts to understand human economic relations that have ignored these findings.
In "Orgone Therapy - A Patient's Perspective," a patient movingly describes the impact of orgone therapy on her life.
The "Communications and Notes" section includes memorial tributes to Bernard R. Grad, Ph.D., Eva Renate Reich, M.D. and Ilse Ollendorff Reich; a listing of recent lectures and publications by members of the Institute; and an announcement of the Training Program in Orgonomic Therapy offered by the Institute.
New Dark Matter Camera Shows More Galactic Blues
New Dark Matter Camera Shows More Galactic Blues
More evidence of blue-glowing orgone energy in the cosmos, as a halo-effect surrounding galaxies and other cosmic objects, as taken from a new "dark matter/energy" camera, the most sensitive CCD camera ever constructed.

This is excellent empirical astronomy, but lousy theoretical astrophysics. The gravitational effects observed, and the blue-glowing nature of dark matter (or energy, as you will), are very real, but it is all too similar to what Wilhelm Reich called the cosmic orgone energy, an ether-like substrate which has gravitational properties and also glows with a bluish hue. Of course, with consent and silence of the scientists, Reich was slandered in the 1950s press, thrown into prison and had his books burned. Nobody should mention his name again, we are demanded, but with these new deep-space photos showing more and more of the "blue stuff", I am forced to observe the similarities. I have never before ever seen a globular cluster with such a distinct bluish glow, and the image of NGC1365 has never before shown such a distinctly bluish fringe around it.

Is the "Big Chill" On?
Is the "Big Chill" On?
Whatever the self-proclaimed experts in Washington DC, or their "top dog" academic followers in the King's Court have to say, in most cases it is a good bet the exact opposite is true. So while they have been pushing "CO2 global warming" hysteria as a means to ramp up new Wall Street gambling opportunities, and to add more tax burden and social controls onto the backs of every working person, Ma Nature has been cooking up her own home-brew. Following the last note on super-cold December conditions in Russia and Alaska, (
http://obrlnews.wordpress.com/2013/01/02/super-cold-in-much-of-northern-hemisphere/)
now comes new reports that China is plunging into record cold deep freeze:
Brrr! China's coldest winter in decades at new low:
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/A/AS_CHINA_COLDEST_WINTER?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2013-01-05-07-52-05
China chills hit 28-year low, trapping ships in ice
http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/01/05/china-weather-idUSL4N0AA0D820130105
This report also, from a correspondent in Arizona (on 5 Jan.2013):
It is 12 (deg. F. or -11 C.) here in the Verde Valley of Arizona, early for this year all ready coldest day last year was 10. After 9-10 days of 19 many homes had frozen pipes in the Sedona area..........we have doubled up on our heaters on the colder walls..
The remarkable thing about these reports is, that they come so early in Winter. If these reports happened in mid-February, they would not appear so unusual. Unfortunately, we only just now enter January, and the worst of winter has yet to show its face.
Stay tuned, and keep warm.

New article "In Defense of Wilhelm Reich" available in a peer-reviewed science journal
New article "In Defense of Wilhelm Reich" available in peer-reviewed science journal
"In Defense of Wilhelm Reich: An Open Response to Nature and the Scientific /Medical Community", in Water journal 4:72-81, 2012. By 24 scientists and physicians.
Here's the specific pdf download link.
This is a peer-reviewed journal of some merit, and so it should be widely circulated by both weblink and independently via the PDF copy which is also available.
Background information on this article is here:
The following can also be added:
Nature got their article as written by journalist Josie Glausiusz, who got her bad information about Reich from a public display entitled "Ghosts in the Machine" as presented at the New Museum in New York City. The New Museum curators Massimiliano Gioni and Gary Carrion-Murayari wrote a book on this display, which they created, also titled Ghosts in the Machine. In their book, Wilhelm Reich is mentioned only in a derogatory article reprinted within, as authored by one Christopher Turner, a relatively new face in the phony "skeptic" movement working to destroy Reich's good name and research legacy.
Turner had already written a terrible book of ridicule-slander against Reich (Adventures in the Orgasmatron) which appeared in 2011 in both USA and UK editions, along with several additional slander-smear articles in various art-cult and "literary" magazines going back to 2004 or earlier. The Turner "Orgasmatron" book was his most ambitious effort, the publisher refusing to say who, if anyone, was responsible for giving it a fact-check. It's publication was coordinated with a well-planned avalanche of additional slanderous "book reviews" in major newspapers and magazines on both sides of the Atlantic, including one major smear of Reich on UK television. Not accidentally or unexpectedly, the same Turner slanders were repeated on disreputable Wikipedia pages - hopefully everyone reading this already knows about the unreliability of Wikipedia, but their pages on Reich and his research are cases in point.
None of the Turner camp-followers bothered to make fact-checks. Rather, they all appear to have made serious "anti-fact checks", making sure none of the published experimental reports verifying Reich's scientific and medical work, or which presented redeeming facts about his life or work, were allowed to remain standing. Lies of Omission, in abundance! Unsurprisingly, Wikipedia's anonymous scribblers actually erased such supportive materials which previously had been posted up by scholars sympathetic to Reich.
Over the last two years, Reich's corpse was dug up and subjected to repeated public auto-da-fe, complete with applauding mobs of high-brow "literati" and "intelligencia", in the manner of the Medieval Inquisition. Nothing was left un-slimed. Reich's personal biography, his work on sexual reform, his anti-Nazi and anti-Stalinist activities and writings, his scientific work on cancer, on microbiology, on the orgone accumulator and on desert-greening, all of it was subjected to the usual hyena-jackass ridicule via false claims and distortions, or simply erased from existence. Not one of those "professional journalist" reviewers raised questions about Turner's accuracy or his smutty accusations against Reich. They appeared quite happy not to do so, or were getting paid not to do so. Overall it was a protest too much, and history may record it as a turning-point, where "professional skepticism" will have exposed itself far too graphically, gone to such great lengths to publicly strangle an infant science in the cradle, for even those fully ignorant about Reich to feel comfortable with it, or remain silent about it.
See here for additional details about Turner and friends:
Some of that slime regrettably creeped into Nature magazine, stimulating the just-published article "In Defense of Wilhelm Reich", as noted above.
More details on these incredible events will soon appear in a new book by James DeMeo, PhD, now in press, entitled "In Defense of Wilhelm Reich: Opposing the 80-Years' War of Mainstream Slander and Lies Against a Brilliant Natural Scientist and Physician".

Super Cold in Much of Far Northern Hemisphere
Super Cold in Much of Far Northern Hemisphere
While so many are worried about global warming, people in both Alaska and Russia could use a bit of it right now:
Forget global warming, Alaska is headed for an ice age
Not so chilly here in the mountains of Southern Oregon, but we do have a nice near-meter of accumulated snow-pack, which is unusual for so early in the Winter.

Message from James DeMeo and OBRL
Dear friends of Reich, Orgonomy and OBRL,
Firstly my personal greetings and thanks for subscribing to our Newsletters and sharing various OBRL news announcements and posts with your own friends and networks. Please also share this one.
Very soon I will be posting up announcements on several new developments you should all find of great interest:
1. A new article in a peer-reviewed science journal, "In Defense of Wilhelm Reich: An Open Response to Nature and the Scientific/Medical Community". This article was co-signed by an international group of 24 different natural scientists and physicians, in response to some terribly malicious statements attacking Reich in one of the leading modern science journals. With effort, we were able to get them to publish a retraction, but it was meager and did not address the larger issues involved. So we persisted and got our original article published in another excellent science journal. It will become available as an on-line download, which will be announced separately once the proofing and posting takes place. Some prior information on this attack was posted here:
2. A new edition of the OBRL Newsletter will be prepared and posted out before the year's end.
3. A new book will also soon be announced, which has been in the works over the last year, with the following preliminary title:
In Defense of Wilhelm Reich: Opposing the 80-Years' War of Sander and Distortion Against One of the 20th Century's Most Innovative Physicians and Natural Scientists.
by James DeMeo
This book will give a timeline summary of Reich's work and discoveries, with a side-by-side discussion of the malicious and sometimes deadly attacks which came as a consequence. It will cover both the period of Reich's lifetime, as well as the period after Reich's death into recent years. Important information will also be included on the primary scientific replications and experimental verifications of Reich's science over the years. It will cover the attacks against him by the Nazis, by the German and Soviet Communist Parties, by the Psychoanalysts, by Mildred Brady and Martin Gardner, the FDA attacks, the CSICOP attacks, the Makavejev film slanders, the recent slanders in Christopher Turner's "Orgasmatron" book, and those within a recent "documentary" film from the UK, with a mention of the many lesser villains in the cast of ugly characters who organized over 80 years to destroy Reich's life and his research legacy. It really is a motley crew of bad actors, who by their very persistence and extreme maliciousness demand an understanding of their motivations, beyond simple "disagreements". And that also is discussed in the book.
Keep alert for future announcements.
In addition to the above publishing activity, research at OBRL has continued. Mostly this has been directed towards a better understanding of the reactions of water to charging within an orgone accumulator. Spectroscopy, water surface tension, and seed-growth responses have been the major methods for documentation, which has led to some rather interesting new findings. More will be written on that in the forthcoming OBRL Newsletter, and of course you can also access and the many on-line resources, YouTube videos and publication downloads available from the following OBRL websites:
Usually this kind of research and publishing is undertaken within the well-financed umbrella of a major university or research institution. But as you will all know, the 80-Years War of slander against Reich's name and work - which resulted in the most outrageous example of government book-burning in American history and Reich's death in prison for daring to stand up for his research findings - has made that kind of open support nearly impossible. So the research activities at OBRL are fully dependent upon our own resources, and the generosity of our supporters.

Disinfo and Sexual Slander of Wilhelm Reich in Nature Magazine, and a retraction.
Disinfo and Sexual Slander of Wilhelm Reich in Nature Magazine, and a Retraction.
Nature magazine, considered one of the "top" science journals, has long been known to be heavily biased in favor of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology firms, as well as having cozy relationships with the anti-science "skeptic clubbers". They have systematically engaged in unethical attacks upon natural healing methods, as well as censoring out critics of popular mainstream ideas - as with their dirty tricks and outright censoring of scientists Jacque Benveniste and Peter Duesberg.
So it was not too surprising when they consulted with an "art's journalist" to do a full-page gossip column in their pages, wherein several paragraphs slandered Wilhelm Reich. The original item was so:
Josie Glausiusz, "Pre-digital dreams", 488:270, 16 August 2012.
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v488/n7411/full/488279a.html
In this article, writer Glausiusz repeated slanders from the 1940s, falsely accusing Reich of offering the orgone accumulator as method for "curing cancer", and as a sexual appliance which could "increase orgastic potency". Glausiusz also confusedly implied that Alan Turing -- one of the famous British code-breakers who significantly advanced the Allied cause during World War II -- was forced into Reich's form of body-oriented psychotherapy, "to cure his homosexuality", after which he committed suicide in 1954. But Reich had no British trainees in his methods at that early date, and in fact Turing had been subjected to hormone injections, by court orders when his homosexuality became publicly known. While Reich considered homosexuality to be a neurosis, he was sympathetic to their plight and had openly advocated for decriminalization and tolerance.
Reich's meeting with Einstein was also misrepresented, where Glausiusz claimed "Einstein pronounced it (the accumulator) a dud". But in fact, after corresponding with each other, Einstein invited Reich to his Princeton home where they talked for 4-5 hours. After observing Reich's demonstrations of apparatus, Einstein spent several weeks making independent tests, declaring in a 1941 letter he had confirmed the thermal anomaly inside the orgone accumulator. Everything Glausiusz wrote about Reich was a half-truth or lie, and the language of it left the reader with the impression of Reich as a sleazy crackpot, which might have been the premeditated goal.
After the Glausiusz article appeared, I wrote a four-page rebuttal article titled "In Defense of Wilhelm Reich", correcting the errors and presenting a heavily-cited discussion on the many published articles and books which reported new experimental results affirming and verifying Reich's original findings. These studies were undertaken by medical and scientific professionals, working within mainstream universities or private institutes and clinics, produced under excellent control and sometimes double-blinded procedures, and published in peer-reviewed forums, such as university doctoral dissertations or scholarly science journals.
This rebuttal article was firstly circulated privately to a number of other scientists and physicians, notably those whose work had been cited in it, asking for additional signatures in support of Reich. A public call to "Stand Up for Wilhelm Reich" was also given, and I was most pleased at the positive response. A total of 22 professional scientists and physicians with the MD or PhD degree, as well as a few MSc and PhD candidates, quickly agreed to sign on, as a public protest against the on-going slanders of Wilhelm Reich and his orgonomic science. This rebuttal article with the 22 signators was then submitted to Nature magazine for publication consideration.
Nature rejected the article within 24 hours, also deleting it from their on-line submission system thereby making appeals of the rejection impossible. A shorter Letter to the Editor was then composed and submitted, with the same signators, and this did gain some traction, especially when I informed them we would publish the longer article in another peer-reviewed scientific journal. Two months of back-and-forth emails then transpired. Nature editors finally refused to publish the shorter letter. However, they did agree to print their own "Correction" to the Glausiusz article, based upon documents provided to them which allowed no "wiggle room" for alternative interpretations. Here is what they wrote, though it hardly covers the issues:
Nature, Volume 491, Page 191 (08 November 2012)
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v491/n7423/full/491191b.html
A review of 'Ghosts in the Machine' (J. Glausiusz Nature 488, 279; 2012) reiterated incorrect information provided by the exhibition that Alan Turing underwent orgone therapy to 'cure' his homosexuality; he was in fact treated with hormones. Furthermore, Einstein did not actually pronounce the orgone energy accumulator "a dud" (for details, see his letter of 7 February 1941 in W. Reich The Einstein Affair Orgone Institute Press; 1953).

The whole procedure was unpleasant, rather like pulling teeth, but I suppose this is something of a small victory, a "first" in the history of Orgonomy, to have even that small public retraction and correction appear within a major scientific journal. However, one must question how Nature would permit such an article as Glausiusz's to be published in the first instance, where sexual slander obtained by a city-beat non-scientist journalist, repeating "stuff she heard" at an art museum display in New York City, is published without any fact-checking. Well, that is typical, isn't it? Reich has become the "whipping boy" for "all the people who matter" in the literary arts scene, as well as within certain lofty scientific circles. Nature magazine also has lapsed into a careless attitude of maliciousness towards scientific dissenters, and uses unscientific terms such as "deniers" (with open comparisons to Holocaust deniers) to describe critics of the "infectious HIV" hypothesis, or the "CO2 warming" hypothesis, as if their ex-cathedra declarations were so absolutely certain that mainstream views cannot possibly be questioned. Such mechanisms of ridicule are also used by the "skeptic clubs" and have no place in science.
The original rebuttal article "In Defense of Reich" will soon be submitted to another peer-reviewed science journal which has expressed interest, and announced when it becomes available. A longer public petition will also be developed, where other signators beyond the original 22 can add their names in solidarity, to Stand Up for Wilhelm Reich.
More later, and thanks for your interest.

Wikipedia Lies on Wilhelm Reich and Orgonomy
Once again:
WARNING: WIKIPEDIA LIES. POISONED WELL. DO NOT DRINK.
The Wikipedia website entries are popular, but can be altered by virtually any anonymous person who desires to scribble some unsubstantiated personal opinion, gossip or deliberate deceit into their pages, or to erase legitimate and accurate materials which they object to. Over the years, the Wikipedia entries on "Wilhelm Reich", "orgone energy", "orgonomy", "orgone accumulator", "cloudbusting", and so on, have occasionally shown some allegiance to facts, but typically degenerate shortly thereafter when invaded by vandals. Important factual materials then get erased, and substantial falsehood and even slander is inserted -- usually by those identifiable as professional "skeptic clubbers" and other "activists" with a personal grudge against Reich's ideas and discoveries. None of the revisionist scribblers uses their real name when doing this, of course, and so the whole thing boils down to some insipid and foul "consensus" where the ignorant and hostile anonymous majority determines what is allowed, and knowledgeable dissenters are basically thrown out the door.
About five years back, or longer, I spent many hours correcting false statements and adding documentary citations onto the Wilhelm Reich Wikipedia page, detailing new scientific papers, academic dissertations, published articles in peer-reviewed journals and new books which supported Reich's biophysics. At one point, they were erased and deleted by some malcontent, substituted with words declaring no such independent professional corroboration of Reich existed. This allowed other kinds of slander to persist, as without scientific verifications, then the falsehood of "Reich the crackpot" could be asserted without opposition. I then spent additional hours reposting the materials. Now they have vanished again, and "Reich the crackpot" is back into Wikipedia. All the newer scientific evidence validating his findings, indicating their importance for psychology, biology, physics, cosmology and atmospheric science, etc., has been fully deleted.
By contrast, nearly every published paper that ever had bad words about Reich, even if filled with foul lies and fabrications, including or especially the new malicious and lie-filled book by C. Turner
"Adventures in the Orgasmatron", gets quoted as if it was "important intellectual commentary" validating dismissal of his life and work as a wasteland. By contrast, experimental confirmations of his findings, undertaken by professionals working in universities or private laboratories and published in peer-reviewed journals, are simply erased from existence, in rather outrageous
Lies of Omission.
Wikipedia thereby helps to publicly spread a fully malicious misrepresentation of Reich's life and work, and about the science of orgonomy more generally. Wikipedia entries on Reich should therefore not be consulted as factual or accurate material.
They are only valid as evidentiary expressions of the open war against his findings which began in Europe in the 1930s, when Nazis and Communists maliciously assaulted him in newspapers, put him on death-lists and burned his books. This same malicious aggression to Get Reich continued in the USA after 1947 when a tidal wave of mainstream media slander began, leading to his death in prison, and the burning of his books. Today, people of similar upset emotional backgrounds aim to utterly destroy the legacy of his research, through continued slander and distortion. Wikipedia is now a leader in this effort.
Do a search on the words Wikipedia+Lies or Wikipedia+slander to review a host of websites put up by scholars and others on the subject, their own small protests against the ant-army of scribblers who have plenty of time on their hands compared to anyone who actually works for a living.
Consequently, we wish to post up a warning sign:
WARNING: WIKIPEDIA LIES. POISONED WELL. DO NOT DRINK.
These are the reasons why reputable and serious university professors will scold or even flunk a student if they dare to cite Wikipedia as a reference source, doubly so for any controversial subject.
