So who was Wilhelm Reich? Well he was Austrian that started as a lawyer then change to medical research. He was considered as a prodigy for Sigmund Freud and become the assistant director of the Freud's Vienna Ambulatorium. Wilhelm Reich proposed that a new energy called orgone that was connected to sexuality and well-being, arguing that the ideal development of human potential and character is dependent on healthy sexual relationships built on deep trust and ego surrender. Over the years this was shot down by many others and in time he was arrested and died in prison just because of his ideas. In 1947 things changed from a positive perception of his ideas to a negative one. An article explaining that the word “orgone” was derived from “orgasm,” was printed in a national publication, and for the remainder of his life, Reich would be targeted by relentless smear campaigns. Yet again our press, eager to offer juicy controversy to consumers, re-interpreted his ideas, reported that in Reich’s view, cancer and psychological disorders were caused by lack of orgasms.

Trial, Prison and Death
While he was in the West, an employee back in Maine fell into a trap by shipping a part for the orgone accumulator box out of state in violation of the injunctions. The “customer” requesting the part was in fact an FDA inspector.

Reich was charged with contempt of court after the violation, and pleaded not-guilty, but was sentenced to two years in prison in May of 1956. After unsuccessfully appealing the verdict, Reich entered the prison system in Spring of 1957. He landed in the Pennsylvania Lewisburg Federal Prison just before his 60th birthday. Soon after, FDA officials were dispatched to Reich’s Maine home and oversaw the destruction of the remaining accumulators and all of Reich’s books and marketing materials. In August, Reich’s books, research papers, notes, and journals were shipped to New York City and burned.

Reich believed he would be paroled in November of that year, but was found dead in his cell on Nov. 3. Cause of death was recorded as sudden heart failure — his body was returned to his Maine farm for burial.

Over time Reich's work and vision has led to advancements in light-based microscopy, biofeedback, body-based psychology and therapies, and human sexuality research. Reich discovered that orgone energy has an affinity for water and humidity that may be related to the precipitation of negative, or healthy, ions found around flowing water and during rainstorms. Viewing desertification as the result of “bad” or deadly orgone energy (DOR), Reich asserted that harsh desert environments produce brutal, warlike cultures driven by scarcity. Desertification brings drought, famine, mass starvation, and intense competition for resources, leading to ruthless aggression and “tribal” attitudes of “us vs. them.”

In 1970, a younbg graduate student, James DeMeo learned about Reich's work. His advisor gave him a gree light to study Reich's theories. DeMeo was able to confirm several of Reich’s ideas, particularly his atmospheric research. By examining anthropological data, particularly attitudes toward women and children, DeMeo saw that arid climates are indeed associated with predatory, militaristic societies. Typically these groups assign women the same status as livestock or other property and use captives of war as slaves. Noble status and warriorship are one in the same. By plotting these cultures by latitude and longitude, he discovered that the harsher the desert environment, the more aggressive the group.

The heartlands of these cultures are North Africa (Sahara), the Middle East (the Anatolian Plateau and the Arabian, Al Nafud, and Karakum Deserts) and the desert regions of China and Mongolia (The Gobi, Taklimakan, Badain Jaran, Shapotou, and Gurbantungget Deserts) — the birthplaces of Genghis Khan’s armies. Called “The Golden Horde,” these armies swarmed out of the Mongolian deserts, conquered China, and invaded Eastern Europe, pushing all the way to the Austrian border. While in Africa, peaceful sub-saharan societies have long been assaulted by desert warrior cultures, there are significant exceptions to the theory, such as the Sahrawi tribes that place women in positions of privilege.

Studying the archaeological record, DeMeo saw that evidence of violent regional wars drops off around 4,000 BCE — roughly same time as the beginning of encroaching desertification. DeMeo noted that even if rainfall increases and an area recovers, ruthless social values of survival at any cost remain. But Reich believed that rain produced by his cloud busters in these regions would end drought, starvation and famine, thus reducing warfare and stress on native populations.

While he conclusively documented that a cloudbuster caused statistically improbable rainfall in the Arizona desert and across the state of Kansas, DeMeo couldn’t fund large-scale demonstrations of cloud busters in vast desert regions — in fact, he left academia when his peers and colleagues refused to acknowledge his smaller successes. Despite academic conflicts, DeMeo and his cloud buster began to receive invitations to drought and famine-plagued countries.

In 1991, was invited to Israel during a three-year drought — the Sea of Galilee, Israel’s primary agricultural water source, was depleted to the point that irrigation water would soon be gone. After ten days of using the cloud buster, the rain started and didn’t stop. Snow fell in Jerusalem for the first time in living memory. The Sea of Galilee filled, then overflowed — to avoid flooding, water was diverted to the Dead Sea, unheard of in this intensely arid region. DeMeo says the meteorological community would not accept his results, saying that the Mt. Pinatubo eruption was the cause of the precipitation that ended the drought.

In 1993 DeMeo accepted an invitation from the government of the newly-formed Eritrea near Ethiopia. The region had suffered a 30-year drought with ensuing famine, wars, and refugee crisis. “We went into the desert and ended a 30-year drought. It’s clearly documented in the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) records. What we saw was rain for the first time in 30-years. We got it all on video. Immense rainfall rather than isolated storms — big cloud fronts that would make it rain all day long.”

DeMeo said that he and his team were invited back to work for an additional three years. “The year before we began, Eritrea spent $150 million on food imports. The year after, food import expenses dropped to $10 million.” Unfortunately Ethiopia invaded Eritrea, destroying the cloud buster equipment, which resembled artillery with the skyward-pointed aluminum tubes.

DeMeo says that the effects of cloudbusting are not dependent on the device — once it has been used in a programmatic way, new weather patterns persist. “Clouds build and propagate outward,” DeMeo said. The technology is so powerful that without careful application, destructive storms and flooding can be triggered. “It’s like Pandora’s box,” he said.

Did Reich invent a technology that could effectively end drought, famine, and wars provoked by resource scarcity? Perhaps, but as with other suppressed technologies, the cloudbuster has been attacked by economic interests that profit from drought. “Hydrologists are given multi-million dollar contracts for water desalination projects around the world — the cloud seeders are also against this work. I tried to introduce this work to the California state legislature, but lobbyists for the cloud seeding industry killed it,” DeMeo said.

So what do you think about Reich's theories about energy that is both positive and negative and how this energy can change weather patterns. I did not know who this man was until I read the referenced article. Some of it I may not agree with right off, but in my mind anything is possible it just takes time to prove it and overcome those who are greedy and power hungry to keep their own work to make a profile opposed to helping mankind. What do you think about Wilhelm Reich and some of this theories?
