Gentlemen:

In connection with the running Oranur Experiment (the first report was sent to you on November 29th, 1951), we would like to inquire which institu-tion of the U.S. government would be the right MC to receive from us im-portant information on observational and experimental results regarding cosmic orgone energy.

Our instituto is continuously flooded with obscrvations which cannot or should not be published at the moment, and which, still, could be hclpful itt some important way to other institutions. The information would be given in the form of ktters.

May we expcct your kind answer soon.

i. Letter to Fred J. Nutter, Maine Commissioner of Agriculture, State House, Augusta, Maine, August 9, 1952

The following letter was written on August 9th, 1952, to Mr. Fred J. Nutter, Maine Commissioner of Agriculture, at State House, Augusta, Maine, after a heavy rainfall, induced by " drawing at Rangetey mostly from the north northwest, reached the coast on August 6th, and Boston on August 10th, 1952, in a relay-like fashion. This experiment was successfully repeated in breaking the severo drought in October, 1953.

" This is to inform your office of the following facts: During the past 2 - 3 months. Wilhelm Reich has succeeded by ming the orgonomic potential (soe enclosed publications) in the formation and destruction of clouds over the Rangeiey region, to the extent of rain making. The rain on July 10th and Ilth, the thunder showers on July l4th, the rain ao July 29th, and on several other dates were resulta of experimental work on atmospheric orgone energy at chis institute.

We have reached a point where continuation of our operations without state assiatance would go beyond our means as well as obliga-tions, and would abo involve some risks, since everybody in this regoin knows what we are accomplishing in rain making, and someone might get the idea of blaming us for too much or too bole rain.

This institute is perfectly satisfied, after 3 months of experimenta-tion in 'cloud-busting.' as it is called, and contemplates to transfer its activities to arid descri arcas. Should the Agricultura! Department. or the State Department of the State of Maine wish to tnake further use of thcse first experimental results in rain making and rain stopping

In early May 1953, the first signs of a coming drought were apprehended. The following letter was written to the Governar of thc State of Maine, on May 13th, 1953:

" We wish to inform you of the following: In April, 1952, this Institute has started experiments in atmospheric

Orgone Energy control. During the drought of 1952, very cautious first steps were andertaken in this direction which resulted successfully in the construction cif a machine called 'Cloudbuster? Three such Cloudhusters, constructed at the Southworth Machine Company, in Portland, are at present located at Orgonon, Rangeley, Maine.

We intend, during the coming summer months, to proceed further in our weather control experiments at a more advanced rate, and with greatcr intensity than last year. It happened already this year, as it did last year, that weather predictions by the Portland and Boston weather stations were upset or cuntradieted hy our experiments. This fato may endanger aircraft pilots and also embarrass the weather sta-tions. Thereforc, we prefer to inform you of these facts.

HAS MAINE SCIENTIST ANSWER TO RAINMAKING? By Anthony F. Shannon

A solution to drought — a word that has meant disaster to farmers for hundreds of years —may have been found by a Maine scientist.

And thc day when growers may confidently turn to " rain mak ers to save their crops could now be on the brink of reality.

At least that's what two Hancock county blueberry growers would like to believe.

LOSING CROPS The two men. on the vergo of losing their crops to the whims oi

naturc, took a chance when a scientist told them " 1 think 1 can givc you some rain within 12 to 24 hours." And the chance paid off.

They gol their rain and said they were satisfied with both the quality and amount.

Here's their story: On Friday, July 3, when the drought in Northern and Eastern

Maine was at its worst, the two men were approached by William Moise, a resident aí Hancock, who said he knew of a scientist who might be able to solve their problcm by giving them rain.

Moise said the scientist was Dr. Wilhelm Reich, head of the Orgone Institute at Rangeley, Maine, and discoverer of " Orgone Energy, the Cosmic Life Energy of the Atmosphere."

ADWITEDLY DOUBTFUL Admittedly doubtful at the prospect of " rain making," but anxious

to save their crops, the two men made a contract with the Rangeley instituto on a " produce and pay " basis.

The understanding was thus: if the scientist produccd rain, a given sum would be paid: if he failed, no money would be forthcoming.

One of the two growers—both of whom prefer to remain anony-mous — claims the Boston Weathcr Bureau predicted there would be no moisture in the arca for the next 36 hours, or at a time the experi-ment would be conducted.

Dr. Reich and threc assistants set up their " rain making " device off the shore of Grand Lake near the Bangor Hydro-Electric dam at 10:30 o'clock, Monday morning, July 6. The device — a set of hollow tubes, suspended over a small cylinder, connected by a cable — con-ducted a " drawing " operation for about an hour and 10 minutes.

The scientists and a small group of spectators then left thc lakc site to await results.

They were soon forthcoming. According to a reliable source in Ellsworth, the following climatic

changes took piare in that city on the night of July 6 and the early morning of July 7:

Rain hegan to fali shortly after 10 o'clock Monday evcning, first as a drizzle and then by midnight as a gentie, steady rain. Rain con-tinued throughout the night and a rainfall of .24 inches was recorded in Ellsworth the following morning.

A puzzled witness to the " rain making " process said, "The queerest looking clouds you ever saw began to form after they got the thing rolling." And ¡ater the same witness said the scientists were able to change the course of the wind by manipulation of the device.

The following two days, no rainfall was recorded in the arca. But Thursday — when the weatherman had predicted a fair day with bule change in temperature— rain fell in Ellsworth Thursday morning. It started as a light drizzle at 6:30 o'clock and changed isto a hard rain that lasted until 10 o'clock that same morning.

Monday, July 13, the drought was broken when heavy rain fell throughout most of the East. A total aí 1.74 inches of rainfall was measured in Ellsworth—greater than any other section of the state.

The growers who contracted the Rangeley Institute claim they were " perfectly satisfiecl " with the results of the operation, and one man said if severe drought were to strike again, he would call on the "rain makers " a second time.

In preparation for the " drawing for rain " at Ellsworth, Dr. Reich said a preliminary drawing was conducted in the Rangeley arca, Sunday, July 5. But, as the device is still in the early stage of development, the scientist said he was not certain to what extent the drawing at Rangeley affected results obtained at Ellsworth.

NEW TYPE

He said his discovcry was a ncw type of weather control which " triggers "— or stirs — the atmospheric Orgone Energy in such a manner the tendency for drought in the atmosphere is reverscd. The tendency for rain, he added, is once again established.

According to reliable sources, " rain making " up to the prescnt time has been confined primarily to cloud seeding— a process hy which cloud formations are " seeded " with a chemical solution which pro-duces rain.

The Rangeley scientist believes his discovery also will prove valu-ahle in rain-stopping and fog-lifting.

A successful " drawing operation," according tu Dr. Reich, means not only some immediate rainfall in thc local arca, but more importam

130

it tneans the drought tendcncy in the atmosphere is gradual!), rcversed over an increasingly larger arca and the drought " spell " is broken.

The discoverer says the first experiments in this type of weather control were conducted by the Orgonc Instituto at Rangcley beginning in April, 1952. The scientist believes last year's drought was broken foliowing his " drawings" and toeis indications point to a break in Chis year's drought for the same reason.

Asserting first that the " raio making proccss is still in the experi-mental stagc with many problems still to be soived, the Rangelcy scien-tist believes his operations thus far have proved " successful." The result. according to Dr. Reich, was a mero by-product of the " Oranur Experiment "— an anti-nuclear energy experiment—conducted at Rangeley since 1951.

An extensive first report of this experiment, he said, appeared in 1951 and can be obtained from the Orgone instituto Press. He added basic principies of &vice could be obtained from Orgone Energy Bulk- tin, October, 1952.

Dr. Wilheim Reich was bom in Germany* and has resided in Maine for the last 14 years. He became a resident of Maine five years ago.

ORGONOM IC TER M I NOLOG Y

The following definitions can be given, reduced to the sitnplest tcrms:

Orgonomy is a nem/ science, denoting the reabri of cosmic Orgone Energy. dis- covercd by Wilhelm Reich between 1936 and 1940.

Cosmie Orgone Energy exists cverywhere and penetrates everything. It can be demonstrated by way of temperature diffcrences, electroscopic measurements, visually, and with the Geiger Mueller Counter. lt is called life Energy or

Organismic Orgone Energy if it functions within living organisms.

Orgone Energy can be gathered from the atmosphere by way of the Orgone

Energy Afecumulator, first constructed in 1941, and has been in experimental

use ever since on various diseases.

.itmospherir Orgone Energy has been called by various names in various disci-plines, such as " heat waves" in meteorology; "bad seeing " in astronomy; "natural leak" in physics; "static " in electric technology, etc. lis basic color is bluish, or hluish-gray. High vacus can be charged with atmosphcric Orgone Energy and luminate upon excitation by various stimuli.

ORANUR denotes atmosphcric Orgone Energy in a state of severe excitation if irritated by nuclear energy, (see ORANUR Report).

DOR is a term denoting Deadly ORgone Energy, that is, Orgone Energy which

is dangerous to living protoplasm. DOR Clouds arc gatherings of such noxious atmospheric energy. usually called " smog " or "sinam". DOR Clouds have little to do with industrial smoke since they appear also in regions without any

factories.

DOR Clouds ha►e forced an invention, the so-called CLOUDBUSTER. CLOUDBUSTER operations make it possible to remove [hese dangerous DOR Clouds, and alto to experiment with the atmosphcric Orgone Energy in a tech-

nological manner.

13. The Storm of November 7, 1953 — From the Archives of the Orgone Institute

The weather had been cloudy and very windy all night to November 4th. ft became cold and it snowed in our region, with strong NW winds. The wind had the strength and bore the char-acteristics of a " backwash." The night to November 5th was ex-tremely cold and the behavior of the atmosphere was peculiar.

On Saturday, November 7th, a freak storm, unpredicted and unforeseen, broke over the region of Philadelphia. A severe storm lashed Orgonon also. Heavy snow had suddenly fallen in New York and the Philadelphia region. Radio Boston reported that the head of the Washington Weather Bureau, Mr. Reichelderfer, had ordered an investigation of the causes that led to the failure of the forecasters to predict the storm. This storm had, at times, reached 80 Mi/h strength, i.e., hurricane velocity. The predic-tion had been " fair and cool." According to the " Herald Tribune " of November 8th, 1953, thirty vessels at sea had sent out distress calls. Dark, threatening clouds were hovering over the Hudson River.

The storm had all the earmarks of an artificial event due to faulty operations with a cloudbuster. Inquiry at Hancock showed that our operator had not " played around " (6:00 PM). At 8:00 PM I called Dr. Baker in Fair Haven, New Jersey, and asked him to find out whether anyone had drawn, I suspected a student who had been quite busy before, and who had been admonished not to operate any pipes directed toward the sky.

While New York reported SW winds, Hancock still had a wind blowing from NE.

On Sunday, November 8th, a telegram carne from Dr. Baker, telling that the student whom 1 had suspected had drawn for half an hour at Philadelphia from the west to demonstrate the destruc-tion of clouds to two curious physicians from the vicinity of Phila-delphia. Also the spouses had attended. This revealed the troe motive of the irresponsible operation quite clearly. A reprimand went immediately to the student with request for detailed report and warning. Another telegram went that same day to his training psychiatrist.

appendix, bleeding the patient to death, only after having seen one operation demonstrated to students of medicine. It would not occur to any student of medicine to invite people to such a demon-stration. In orgonomic study, the element of contempt and ego support enter the scene. Therefrom stems the performance of irre-sponsibility and complete thoughtlessness. The patient who had drawn at Philadelphia had no idea of the November situation in the movement of the on energy envelope; he had no idea of what destroying a cloud near the ocean during heavy weather could mean; he knew nothing about the various potentials that may be intik up under such cornplicated circumstances as storm from west approaching the ocean, in combination with building up a poten-tial over the ocean by drawing at the same time from the west.

14. Report on the formation of U.S. Government weather con-trol committee, New York Times, December 10, 1953

U.S. TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE WEATHER WAsi-uNcToN, Dec. 9 — President Eisenhower today set up a

board to disprove the adage that everybody talks abou: the weather

but nobody does anything about is. The President appointed Eive

civilians to complete a Weather Evaluatiorz Board authorized by Con-

gress last year. Capa. lloward T. Orville of Long Green. Md., a re-

tires naval officer who now is a consultant to the Bendix Aviation

Corporation of Alaryland, was named chairman. This board is under

instructions to do something about the weather. Even more important,

it is especially instructed to find out if some of Me things other persons are aoing about the weather are harmful to the national interest.

The idea is to find out whether the seeding of clouds with dry ice to bring raio has more beneficiai than harmful cffects. Cloud-seeding

was tried by New York City a few years ago. The nau' board is no reflectiam on the weather man, but it will be

in action wh:k still another board, local in character, is investigating to find out why Washington's forecaster missed a freakish snowstorm casa month Mat dumped six inches on a city that had expected virtually

"The erra of thc use of measures for the control of weather phenomena upon the social, economic and political structures of today, and upon national security, cannot noto be determin,ed. lt is a field in which unknown factors are involved. 1t is reasonable to anticipatc, however, that modification and control of weather, efective on a large scale, would cause pro/ound changes in our present way o/ li/e and would result in voá and /ar-reaching benefits to agriculture, in-dustry, commercr and the general welfare and common de/cose.

" While the ultimato extent to which :acolher modification and control may be utilized is speculative, the application of such measures without proper safeguards, sufficient data and accurate information may residir in inadequate or excessiva precipitation; may cause cata-strophic droughts, storms, floods, and other phenomena with conse-quent loss of life and property, injury to navigable streams and other channels of interstate and foreign commerce, injury to water supplies for municipal, irrigation and industrial purposes, and injury to sources of hydroelcctric power; may otherwise impede the production and transportation of goods and services for domestic consumption and export and for the national defense; and may otherwise adversely affect the general welfare and the common defense."

This is the &vice that is credited with saving iast year's blueberry crop in the vicinity of Hancock, Maine, by causing a heavy raia. Dr. Reich calls it the Cloudhuster, and claims that with it, he can produce raio, stop raio, dis-perse fog, create and destroy clouds at will. The Doctor says, by changing the potential of atmospheric — or Orgone Energy.

This, the deep-blue sky and the snow-covered Bluc Mountains that sur-round the Rangeky Region, is the source of this energy, which the Doctor calls variously " Life Force" or cosmic "Orgone Energy."

Doctor Reich claims its discovery, and is certain that its existence is a basic

Projeto Arte Org Redescobrindo e reinterpretando W. Reich Caro Leitor Infelizmente, no que se refere a orgonomia, seguir os passos de Wilhelm Reich e de sua equipe de investigadores é uma questão bastante difícil, polêmica e contraditória, cheia de diferentes interpretações que mais confundem do que ajudam. Por isto, nós decidimos trabalhar com o material bibliográfico presente nos microfilmes (Wilhelm Reich Collected Works Microfilms) em forma de PDF, disponibilizados por Eva Reich que já se encontra circulado pela internet, e que abarca o desenvolvimento da orgonomia de 1941 a 1957. Dividimos este “material” de acordo com as revistas publicadas pelo instituto de orgonomia do qual o Reich era o diretor. 01- International Journal of Sex Economy and Orgone Research (1942-1945). 02- Orgone Energy Bulletin (1949-1953) 03- CORE Cosmic Orgone Engineering (1954-1956) E logo dividimos estas revistas de acordo com seus artigos, apresentando-os de forma separada (em PDF), o que facilita a organizá-los por assunto ou temas. Assim, cada qual pode seguir o rumo de suas leituras de acordo com os temas de seu interesse. Todo o material estará disponível em inglês na nuvem e poderá ser acessado a partir de nossas páginas Web. Sendo que nosso intuito aqui é simplesmente divulgar a orgonomia, e as questões que a ela se refere, de acordo com o próprio Reich e seus colaboradores diretos relativos e restritos ao tempo e momento do próprio Reich. Quanto ao caminho e as postulações de cada um destes colaboradores depois da morte de Reich, já é uma questão que extrapola nossas possibilidades e nossos interesses. Sendo que aqui somente podemos ser responsáveis por nós mesmos e com muitas restrições. Alguns destes artigos, de acordo com nossas possiblidades e interesse, já estamos traduzindo. Não somos tradutores especializados e, portanto, pedimos a sua compreensão para possíveis erros que venham a encontrar. Em nome da comunidade Arte Org. Textos sobre o projeto Oranur, Orop e CORE.
