Australian Laws On Weather Modification

I have done some checking on Australian laws that could be considered relevant to cloudbusting. I did not find any specific legislation AGAINST weather modification, but there are several laws AUTHORIZING it for specific programs at specific times and places.

It seems that in Australia, unlike in America, weather modification is required to obtain a speficic legislative act authorizing it  and is otherwiser considered to fall under the National Parks and Wildlife Act of 1974, the Wilderness Act of 1987, the Fisheries Management Act of 1994, Threatened Species Act, 1995, Local Government Act, 1993, Protection of the Environment Operations Act, 1997, and Environmental Planning and Assessment Act, 1979.

Any weather modification done without a legislative act exempting it from these Acts is a violation of them.

Of course no prosecution is possible until the government is convinced the process is effective, but once that is accomplished, any publicly-known cloudbusting will automaticly become illegal.

Non-Orgonomic Arguments Against Hurricane Suppression

1. Hurricanes over water stir up bottom sediment which provides extra norishment to plankton, which are the base of the oceanic food chain, so for several weeks after a hurricane all aquatic life florishes.

2. Swift-churning waters break off small pieces of coral reefs, which are carried some distance away and sink to the bottom to grow into new reefs. This is how coral propagates, so without hurricanes the reefs could not spread.

3. When a big tree falls, the gap in the canopy allows sunlight to reach a lot of seedlings and underbrush which need sunlight to grow and could not grow in the shade of the big tree. Many species in a forest community need these gaps and the sunlight they permit  to fill their role in the forest ecosystem.

4. While a big fallen tree is being recycled back into the forest floor to provide nutrients for a next generation of trees, it is also providing years of food and habitat for the insects and microbes that do the recycling.

5. It also is providing habitat for many species of animal life that hide in the tangle of broken branches to protect them from predators.

6. In areas where hurricanes are common, all native species are adapted to them. Non-native species which are not so adapted therefore are kept out of the area by the recuring hurricanes. If the hurricanes stopped, they would be able to invade the former huricane zone, to the detriment of the native species there, as all introduced species are always destructive to native species that are not adapted to them.

7. In areas where hurricanes are common, a significant portion of the yearly water supply comes from them. Without hurricanes there would be a water short-fall amounting to a major drought.

8. The water shortfall could not be made up by simply causing extra ordinary rainstorms because the heavy downpour typical of hurricanes provides enough water all at once to flush out coastal ecosystems and rejuvenate them. Since this is an annual event, these coastal ecosystems are adapted to it and need it.

9. Low-lying coastal areas in the tropics and subtropics are the richest, most diverse ecosystems on earth. Many such areas are under heavy threat from unrestricted development. Other areas are still relatively intact because the frequency of hurricanes discourages human occupation. If hurricanes wre no longer a factor, these fragile coastal ecosystems would soon be overrun by development from which they are now at least partly protected by the fact that hurricanes are common there.

Response To A Critic

First, there is no reason for me to "stick to science". I do not claim to be a "scientist". I am in the role of an environmental activist, not a scientist, and my role is to oppose the evildoers, not to try to convert them. Looking at it from the point of view of the evil ones would not be helpful. It would only be a distraction from the job of pointing out the evil they are trying to do.

I am not trying to convert the Weather Rangers. I do not think that can be done, no matter what I might say, because I consider their desire to tamper with the weather to be a symptom of mental pathology, not something simply due to ignorance of scientific facts.

What I am trying to do is formulate the basis of an opposition movement, not convert the enemy. I am speaking to potential anti-Weather Ranger activists, not people who are already on the Weather Rangers team.

So please forget about trying to convince me they are not of bad intentions. The intention to stop hurricanes is a bad intention. The opinions of the people who want to do it are irrelevant. It is a bad intention, no matter what the evildoers might think.

If you were on a jury, would you vote to aquit a murderer because he claimed to hold the opinion the person he killed deserved to die? No? Well, how is that any different from trying to destroy a hurricane because they think hurricanes should be destroyed?

Now, having thrashed out all that, can we please get around to discussing the issue of hurricane prevention instead of evading it by discussing my terminology? So far, I still have not seen any questions on proper vs. improper procedure, what possible harm hurricane prevention might cause, the legalities, financial liabilities, and other aspects of weather interventions, or all the other REAL issues.

So, heve you raised the issue of the ecological role of hurricanes with anyone?

Have you discussed with anyone the possibility that interfering with the weather might violate numerous already existing laws?

Have you talked to any Weather Rangers about the propriety of altering the habitat of any endangered species which is illegal under the Endangerd Species Act?

Have you brought up the suggestion that it would be the responsible thing to do to carry insurance to compensate anyone who is harmed by operations, as is required by law for cloudseeders in some states?

Would the Weather Rangers admit liability if someone was killed as a result of a Weather Ranger operation? If you divert a hurricane from one place, where it was headed to someplace else where it would not have gone if not for you, and someone is killed by it, it makes no difference how many people MIGHT have been killed if it had stayed on the previous course; the person killed by it was still killed as a result of your operation.

Have you discussed the legal requirement under the National Environmental Policy Act to announce the planed project in advance and allow for public comment?

Have you mentioned to anyone that NOAA requires 10 days advance notice for doing any form of weather modification?

Have you suggested consulting a lawyer about any of these points before dashing out and trying to alter weather?

Have you mentioned to anyone your concerns about possible ecological damage from preventing hurricanes?

And, have you told them you think they are making a mistake by pretending to ignore me instead of paying attention to the real and serious issues I have raised?

Have you pointed out to them that the articles on the website of James DeMeo are obviously biased, and that DeMeo has plenty of motivation to try to discredit me because of my justified criticisms of his bungling operations?

Maybe you ought to be lecturing THEM instead of me.

Some More Of The Same......................

I did present reasons why not to do what they plan. And, aside from Ash, who is a full-time nut, look at the reactions. Two members have posted links to the slanders by DeMeo, one  ( besides Ash ) has posted that he has set his spam filter to delete anything from me, one has asked to be removed from my mailing list, and nobody has yet asked me to present my reasons for being against the proposed project. None has said anything to refute me. None has suggested any errors in my evaluation. All they do is say the slanders by DeMeo & Co. are "news" and "a must read".

And again, I am not trying to win them over; I am presenting a case against them to an audience who are accustomed to hearing this sort of speach against lumber companies, whalers, trophy hunters, nuclear power plant executives, and other evildoers who belong in the same basket with these friends of yours and for the same reasons: they all are out to do damage to the earth. And they all go home at night to loving families who think they are good people.

I think being tolerant of people who do bad things because they themselves or their friends and families think they are good people is a fundamental mistake. If I am introduced at a party to someone who then mentions that he is a scientist who tortures animals in sadistic experiments, or is a soldier in the fascistic American Army, or likes to watch foxes torn to bits by dogs, or is a prison guard, I do not act polite. I let that person know exactly what I think of him.

And the Weather Rangers are in the same catagory. I do not care what they think they are doing. I care what they really ARE doing.

What they SHOULD be doing is to discuss the matter publicly. Openly. And fully. Discuss the whole subject of if it is a good idea to stop hurricanes. If they want to be a legal, above-ground organization or an illegal, underground one. If they wish to respect environmental protection laws or disregard them. If they want to show fiscal responbsibility by carrying insurance to compensate any people they might accidently harm by their operations. If they want to admit they do not have expertise in ecology and should hire an ecologist to advise them before doing anything that could have major environmental effects.

They should be willing to hear what I have to say and if they disagree, they should do it on the issues, not by second-hand personal attacks.

Then, if they still disagree, maybe I would at least admit they mean well. But until they show a willingness to listen to me first before deciding I am wrong, I continue to regard their platitudes as self-deception, on a par with the research scientist who fools himself into thinking his vivisection is justified by "helping people".

And Still More..............................

Perhaps it would be better to call them authoritarian personalities attracted to cloudbusting because it gratifies their desire for power and control. Or perhaps to say they have a compulsion to tame and doinate nature because they were forcibly tamed and dominated as children. Or possibly they fear the natural world and its processes because of ancestral memories of natural catastrophes which their ancestors barely survived. Or maybe they want to compensate for feelings of weakness and inferiority due to the powerlessness of ordinary individuals in a mass society. Or maybe it is what the ancient Greeks called "hubris", the folly of placing oneself on the level of the gods.

I really don't care what the reason may be that someone is evil. If they are doing something that will destroy the environment, they are evil, whatever the reason may be. Loggers who will claim they are trying to feed their families by clear-cutting forests, Canadian seal-killers bashing baby seals heads in for money, Africans eating gorillas, Japanese whalers harpooning whales and claiming it is scientific research, are all evil. No claim of culture, tradition, custom, religion, --or innocent wish to help humanity-- can change the fact that they are evil. And I am not interested in why they are evil. What I am interested in is how to stop the bastards. Period.

Now, having reached an agreement to disagree on what to call people who want to damage the atmosphere and what to think their motivation is, let's move on and deal with the other issues I raised in my last message. Or not, if you do not want to deal with them. But you might as well give up trying to convince me that people who are trying to murder ( word used intentionally for the emotive value ) hurricanes are well-meaning.

And I am being as fair as people who cite slander by DeMeo against me deserve. If anyone has some argument in favor of preventing hurricanes, so far I have not heard it. All my reasons for not interfering in natural atmospheric processes have been met by citing DeMeo as proof that I am a bad person and refusing to even read letters from me. It looks to me as if I really struck a nerve someplace with my telling them hurricane-prevention might not be such a good idea. Maybe the reason nobody is trying to refute my claims is because they can't.

I started a new discussion list to give the Weather Rangers a chance to debate the issue, but obviously nobody wants to. Instead, they think refusing to read what I write will make the problem go away. It will not, because I am not the problem; The hubris of the Weather Rangers is the problem.

More From My Correspondence......................

People are able to rationalize almost anything as being for the "good of humanity".  There are plenty of Americans who rationalize the invasion of Iraq as "for the good of the Iraqi people". The FDA agents who sent Reich to prison no doubt thought they were protecting innocent cancer victims from a con-artist. So what people think their motives are has little relationship to what they really are.

And good intentions do not matter much anyway. What counts are the results. James DeMeo has good intentions, but does a lot of damage with his cloudbusting through ignorance of ecology, and is in denial about it. There is no convincing him. I have tried for years. I doubt the Weather Rangers will prove any more willing to listen to advice that he is. So their intentions are not as important as the fact that they are trying to do something that if it actually gets done, will do a lot of  harm.

When people get a new toy like a cloudbuster, the last thing they want is be told it is not a good thing. They like to fantasize themselves as heroes, saving the world from killer storms and floods, not be sent back to grade school to learn things directly opposite to what they have always been taught. Egotism will be at work here, wait and see.

And if you think I have made some valid points, please tell them so. They do not want to listen to me. Al Feliciano has said on the Weather Rangers website that he has set his Spam filter to block anything from me. Does that sound like he is willing to listen?

Both he and another one of the group have sent links to a 20-year-old slanderous defamatory article on the website of James DeMeo. Neither of them undertook the simple task of asking me what my side of the story might be. They just took whatever DeMeo said at fact value without realizing he has a obvious motive to slander someone who has been critical of his work. If their scientific research is of similar caliber, how much would it be worth?

Since they tolerated Ash ranting incoherently and making vague threats, and nobody spoke up to tell him he was out of line, why should I regard the rest of them as any better?  They are all his enablers.

Ash stated frankly that he would ignore any environmental protection laws because HE is better qualified to decide what is best. Is that Weather Rangers policy? Maybe there should be some discussion of if the Weather Rangers are a legal group or an illegal one?

Maybe there should be some discussion of such things as carrying insurance coverage to compensate anyone you harm by some ill-advised operation too. In case you do not know it, some states already have legislation requiring insurance coverage for any weather modification operations.

But instead of delving into such real issues as taking financial responsibility in case of a disaster, the Weather Rangers would rather discuss if I committed a single minor crime 30 years ago or if I committed the blasphemous sin of writing an article for Skeptic magazine.

And do not forget the Weather Rangers came out of the free-energy inventors sub-culture, that is, they are already technophiliacs, with an emotional vested interest in new inventions as the road to salvation. Telling them they will make things worse can only sound like Luddism to people with that mind-set.

I will send you some articles to pass on to them, if you want to. But be careful: you might become the first person to be excominicated by the Weather Rangers.

I do not expect to be able to convince any of them no matter what I do. What I am trying to do is start a counter-movement to oppose them. My polemical style is directed to that end.

Threat to The Biosphere

                                 Weather Rangers Pose Threat to Biosphere

Almost the first thing you see on the website of the group calling itself the Weather Rangers, a group of weather-control hobbyists who have the presumption to claim they are the ones who should be allowed to determine our weather, is the proclamation that they are dedicated to the prevention of hurricanes and tornadoes. Now, let us examine that closely in detail.

Tornadoes are not something that "just happens" for no reason; they are a reaction of the atmospheric orgone to heavy infestation of DOR. The remaining healthy orgone in the atmosphere reacts to high levels of DOR by strong circulatory motion, trying to mobilize the dead, stagnant energy back into moving healthy orgone again. This process should be aided, not hindered, by cloudbuster operators, whose goal should be the restoration of free pulsation to the atmosphere, not prevention of the means by which the atmosphere recovers from stagnation.

Hurricanes are not quite the same thing as tornadoes. They form as a result of the superimposition of two giant streams of orgone that reach the earth from space. They act like a huge broom, sweeping the atmosphere clean of DOR on a hemisphere-sized basis regularly each year. The track they follow is heavily influenced by the amount and location of DOR build-ups in the atmosphere.

At times when there is more DOR over land areas, they will veer inland; At times with less DOR in the interior of a continent, they will stay out to sea. This is no accident. DOR and water attract each other more strongly than OR and water, so it is to be expected that if there is a lot of DOR in the American Midwest, for example, the large concentration of DOR will draw strong storms toward that region. So, while hurricanes are formed by cosmic factors, the path they follow is determined by where there is a need for them.

Because they are a regular, seasonal phenomena, hurricanes are a part of the expected annual series of weather events and all species that live in a hurricane zone are adapted to their regular recurrence. They are therefore a part of the process that keeps the ecology in dynamic balance. Many species are dependent on them for creating the conditions they need. One good example is the breaking off of pieces of coral from coral reefs by the rapidly-churning waters stirred up by a hurricane. This is frequently regarded as a harmful thing, as "damage" to the reef, by people who do not understand the ecology of coral reefs and this is the version of the subject often presented to the media by operators of underwater tours to these reefs. But the function of coral reefs is not to provide a place for tourists to gape at, and it turns out that the broken-off pieces of the reef start new reefs in other places and this is how such reefs propagate.

Tornadoes on the other hand, are an irregular occurrence, taking place at varying intervals, so nothing is adapted to them because they are not reliable. But they are an atmospheric reaction to high levels of DOR in an area and are called into being, in effect by a situation which requires them. They are the atmospheric version of the immune system in the body. As they are stronger, faster, and therefore even better at mobilizing stuck energy than the larger, slower hurricanes are,  they do even more to keep an area habitable by cleansing it of DOR on an "as needed" basis.

Both phenomena are of vital importance to maintaining the earth in a livable state. Both hurricanes and tornadoes are important parts of the metabolism of the earth, having different and complementary roles in removing DOR and restoring the regular atmospheric pulsation on which regular reliable weather depends. Without them all life would soon become impossible because of both direct effects of DOR in the form of DOR sickness affecting all living organisms, and indirect effects of DOR such as long and severe droughts and the inevitable unpredictable violent storms with which the atmosphere would react.

So why do the Weather Rangers want to destroy these life-giving storms? Why would anyone wish to prevent the remobilization of dead, stuck, stale, stagnant life energy back into healthy, moving, freely-pulsating life energy that can support life and regulate the weather, keeping it within normal bounds? Are they simply insane? Are they so evil and depraved they want to see the atmosphere and it's ability to support life destroyed?

This is a question that is hard to answer with any certainty. I am not a psychologist, so I will leave it to those who are to attempt an explanation of why these people hate life so much they want to destroy vitally-needed storm systems that are essential to all living things. This is not unique to the Weather Rangers, of course. There are whale-hunters who like to harpoon whales. There are seal-killers who consider it fun to club baby seals. There are loggers who do not see anything wrong with clear-cutting whole forests. And now there are hurricane-killers who want to destroy our vital hurricanes too.

For environmental activists who care about life on this planet, there is a clear duty to fight against these would-be  hurricane-murderers by whatever means possible. Please join me in the fight to protect our hurricanes.

A Welcome Change Of Course

A new blog post on the Weather Rangers website by Alberto Feliciano, one of the leaders of the Weather Rangers, included this encouraging change of course:

Is it necessary to totally eliminate Hurricanes?

Probably not.
Many people have expressed concerns about what eliminating natural atmospheric phenomena might do to the planet's natural energies, and there might be something to that.
Maybe only those storms that threaten human lives should be altered a bit, not every single storm out there. Lets keep this in mind while we're working with the weather. There is still much, much to be learned about our Planet.
In the meantime let's also get ready for the People-killing storms. As you can see from the picture I posted today in our photos section, a picture from NOAA Hurricane Center, the season is now open: activity is picking up. August and September are traditionally the two busiest months of the year for Hurricane formation. Let's pray for guidance and do that which is best for all involved.
Alberto
 I note that he does not say who these "many people" might be, but as far as I know, I am the only one to have expressed concern about the appropriateness of preventing hurricanes. And Mr. Feliciano has not replied to any of the numerous e-mails I have sent him on the subject.
On the contrary, he has instead posted a message approving of some personal defamation about me. That might possibly be the reason he is reluctant to identify the source who raised the issues upon which his change of thinking is based.
Possibly someone else has remonstrated with him about the potential risk to the biosphere of interfering with so important a natural phenomena, and possibly he has been convinced by to material I sent him that his former policy of trying to block all hurricane formation was of questionable wisdom. If someone else has managed to get through to him, I would like to know who it was.
But I remain unsatisfied by the depth of his conversion. This recent post, though welcome, still leaves many issues unresolved.
 He still has not mentioned the many ecological considerations I brought up which require no knowledge of orgone energy to understand, and he does not cite the specific orgone energy discovered by Wilhelm Reich, which underlies all weather phenomena and upon which the functioning of the cloudbuster is based, but refers in vague terms to unnamed "natural energies" (plural).
 He still has not mentioned, let alone subscribed to, the all-important concept of Atmospheric Self-Regulation, and he still has not grasped the distinction between a healthy atmosphere and a sick one. It is this concept of the way the atmosphere normally functions and the role of DOR in causing it to malfunction that presents a reliable guideline for when to intervene in a weather situation, not the anthropocentric criteria of if humans are likely to be killed or not.
He refers to "people-killing" storms and suggests that it might be all right to alter those, while leaving other, less dangerous storms alone. I would like to know how he plans to know in advance which storms will take lives and which will not.
I would also ask how is it possible to alter the course of a storm without taking responsibility for the new direction it is deflected into. If you save lives in a coastal zone by directing the storm out to sea, for example, and it then sinks several ships, drowning the people on board those ships, you are then responsible for killing those people, no matter how many lives you might have saved on shore.
The solution is not to distinguish between storms that kill some people and those that do not, since that would be hard to know in advance anyway, but to minimize the damage done by any storm by adopting sensible building codes, reasonable land-use policies and zoning laws that prevent large concentrations of people from congregating in areas that are known to be at periodic risk from storms.
 Such modest measures are less exotic and less gratifying to one who enjoys a sense of power than weather control, but are within the realm of possibility without the risk of wreaking incalcuable harm on the natural enivironment upon which, like it or not, human  life depends.
So I am glad to see Mr. Feliciano is open to changing his mind when he is informed about things he had not previously considered, and I look forward to his further enlightenment.
And, of course, I stand ready to provide him or any other members of the Weather Rangrs with any informatuion they may need to reach a responsible policy on how and when to intervene in the weather.
Joel Carlinsky

Atmospheric Self-Regulation

 
 The areas that many humans live in need hurricanes as much as the areas where no humans live, so diverting hurricanes away from populated areas would still be harming those areas anyway.
 
 Besides, hurricanes cover such a large area and the coastal regions are so built up and thickly populated now that the only place to send a hurricane where it would not hit inhabited places would be out to sea. That would leave the land areas without hurricanes, and the land ecosystems need them as much as the ocean ecosystems do.

 
I am not against all cloudbusting. I am against using cloudbusters to CONTROL weather, and I think anyone who wants to use them to make the weather do what he wants it to is acting in an authoritarian way, regardless of what he thinks his motivation is or how he may rationalize it. The proper use of the cloudbuster is to REMOVE DOR and RE-ESTABLISH ATMOSPHERIC SELF-REGULATION. If that is done, the atmosphere can be trusted to do the right thing, even if the right thing happens not to be what the cloudbuster operator wanted it to do.
 
That is the exact same situation as a parent faces in deciding how to raise a child. The parent should not try to think of how to get the child to choose the careeer the parent wants him to, or the girlfriend the parent wants him to choose. The parent should try to bring up a child to make his own choices and should trust the child to do so properly if the child has been raised to be self-regulating. If the child then chooses a career or a girlfriend the parent does not like, that is still not to say authoritarianism is the best way to bring up children. It is more likely to mean that parents are not as good at making such choices as a child who has been raised to be self-regulating.
 
Just as a person who truly belives in democracy must be willing to allow the people to decide how they want to live, a parent who truly believes in self-regulation must allow a child to make his own choices and a cloudbuster operator who wants to help the atmosphere to be healthy and self-regulating must be williing to stand by and let it do things the operator would rather it did not do.
 
The ability of the atmosphere to pulsate freely and flow freely is the most important thing. If that means some houses get smashed because some fool built them in a place that normally gets hurricanes, the real reason those houses get smashed is not that a hurricane hit them, but that a fool built them in the wrong place.  
 
I would expect someone who wants to control weather would also like to control people. The authoritarian attitude is the same in both cases. Reich wrote about this in the last chapter of Contact With Space and compared the cloudbuster operator who wants to control weather to a dictator and the use of the cloudbuster to help establish atmospheric self-regulation to a guide. This difference between a dictator and a guide is the crucial point I have been trying to make in all my posts about cloudbusting.
 

The Orgonomic and Ecological Function of Hurricanes

                         The Orgonomic and Ecological Function of Hurricanes
                                              By Joel Carlinsky


The conventional view of the intense tropical storms called "hurricanes" is that they are caused by heating of the atmosphere by the sun, and driven by the difference in temperature between the air and sea. They are supposedly directed by corialis forces caused by the spin of the earth. It is all presented in a cut-and-dried manner, as if it were fully settled and there is no other theory.

But in 1951, in his book, Cosmic Superimposition, Wilhelm Reich presented an alternative explanation for hurricanes. He postulated they are caused by the superimposition of two mighty streams of cosmic energy which reach the earth from space, intersecting at the proper angle to create hurricanes and that these streams are what determines the path of the storm.

A few years later, Reich was able to provide incontrovertable experimental evidence for his theory in the form of an invention of his, the cloudbuster, which functions by attracting such energy streams within the atmosphere. This device proved able to divert the course of hurricanes on several occasions. This evidence that such energy streams do in fact exist and control the weather, including the course of hurricanes, would normally have put to rest the "heat-engine" theory in favor of the cosmic energy stream theory. That it did not has more to do with the history and internal politics of the formally organized scientific community than with the physical facts of the natural world with which science is supposed to be concerned.

Nevertheless, those relatively few individuals who have witnessed the functioning of the cloudbuster device are in no doubt about which theory is correct. If the cloudbuster does produce the effects which it has been seen to produce, it follows as a matter of logic that the orgonomic theory of atmospheric functioning must be the correct one since there is no explanation in the conventional theory that could account for such a phenomenon.

But in recent years, as the internet has facilitated communication around the world, millions of people who previously would never have heard of Reich and his theory have learned about the cloudbuster, and many of those people, with scarcely any knowledge of the intricate theory behind it, have constructed cloudbusters and attempted to use them, usually with unwanted side-effects, to affect their local weather systems in various ways.

And, inevitably, there has developed in some quarters the idea that the cloudbuster, being able to influence the path of a hurricane, should be used to "save lives" by weakening hurricanes or steering them away from populated areas. This throughly misguided notion fails to take into account the theory upon which the cloudbuster is based, a theory which renders it immediately obvious that such interference with hurricanes would be a serious mistake with the gravest of environmental consequences.

Reich discovered in the atmosphere a form of energy which under normal conditions is in constant motion. It flows from point to point. It also pulsates as it flows along. Both these normal motions are essential to the normal functioning of the atmosphere. They are also both essential to the biological functioning of all living organisms within the atmosphere.

But sometimes, under certain very specific conditions, most frequently nowadays as a result of the increasing use of nuclear energy, this energetic matrix in which the earth is embedded becomes stagnated. The normally moving energy streams become "stuck" and fail to produce their usual invigorating effects on both atmosphere and organisms. This stagnant condition is what Reich termed "DOR".

DOR is a normal part of the metabolism of the atmospheric energy field, and some DOR has always existed, but in recent times, due largely to human technological activities, especially the use of nuclear power, it has been greatly increasing, to the detriment of both meteorological and biological conditions. This great increase in the stagnation of the atmosphere is what is really behind the changes in climate that are being conventionally attributed to increased heating from so-called "greenhouse gases".

The build-up of DOR is also the most important factor in numerous biological illnesses, unaccountable die-offs of certain species of wildlife, and the dying of forests which is commonly attributed to acidity of rainwater. In fact, the increase in acidity of both rainwater and ocean water is yet another symptom of the stagnant energetic conditions Reich called DOR.

DOR is, in short, the single most important factor underlying a wide range of environmental problems, and the increase in DOR is among the most serious issues facing this planet at this time. The cloudbuster was in fact, invented as a device to re-mobilize the stagnated atmosphere, to drain off DOR and allow the atmosphere to begin moving, flowing, and pulsating normally again. This proper function of the cloudbuster has often been ignored or forgotten in the misinterpretation of it as a means to "control weather".

Normally a strong circulatory storm system such as a tropical hurricane accomplishes the same function, but on a much grander scale. The vast influx of new, fresh energy streaming in from space, flowing along at high speed, pulsating in huge waves, catches up and remobilizes the regions of stale, stuck, stagnant DOR, restoring the atmosphere to vibrant health. This cleansing effect of hurricanes each year is the most important way in which the flow and pulsation of the atmospheric energy is maintained. Upon it, all life depends.

Some Topics For Discussion

                                               Some Topics For Discussion


Can cloudbusting be regulated? Can national governments be trusted to regulate cloudbusting in the public interest? Or would they inevitably give in to the temptation to use it in ways contrary to the public interest?

If national governments cannot be trusted with control of the weather, should some international agency be entrusted with the job? Is an effective international agency possible in the current state of the world, where nation-states are free to do pretty much as they please?

 Is it even possible to control cloudbusting, given the simplicity of the equipment required? What would be required to stop illegal cloudbuster operators from working covertly? Could it be done?

Is government regulation preferable to the current situation of a mass movement of free-lance private individuals doing whatever they want with the weather?

Is it possible to get any sort of government action before obtaining recognition from the scientific community that cloudbusting is possible? Or must any sort of regulatory action wait until the scientific community changes it's paradigm to include orgone energy?


If no government action is possible until official science accepts the fact that the cloudbuster works, and that is not possible unless they first accept that orgone energy exists, which means admitting everything they know in nearly all fields of science is wrong, should the few people who are convinced the cloudbuster does work try to gain official scientific acceptance for the cloudbuster and for the orgone theory in general?

 Or should they keep quiet and let the scientific community continue on the wrong track so there will be no governmental misuse of cloudbusting?

Right now, somewhere around 2,000 people have done some form of cloudbusting at some time or other in the past 58 years. How many would be required to get some form of governmental action started on the issue? 5,000? 10,000? 50,000? 100,000?

How many free-lance cloudbuster operators can the world survive?

If you have any thoughts on any of these questions, please share them with this group.

Making Things Worse

What is happening to the atmosphere is not "global warming" and has nothing to do with "greenhouse gases"; it is oranur/DOR caused by nuclear reactors that is causing the atmospheric orgone energy to go haywire. And none of the geoengineering ideas proposed would have any effect on it. Only cloudbusting could help solve the problem.

But instead of cloudbusting being used rationally to help solve the atmospheric breakdown problem, it is being made worse by backyard hobbyists who find out about cloudbusting from the internet, and blunder around doing crazy things like trying to stop hurricanes and tornadoes instead of doing DOR removal. These untrained, unskilled wildcat operators are compounding the problems and cloudbuster proliferation is rapidly becoming as much a threat as oranur itself.

The atmosphere is already in a bad way because of human technology, and the "volkscloudbuster" movement is making it exponentially worse. It was bad enough with Trevor Constable confusing people deliberately with his smoke and mirrors show, and with DeMeo being incompetent, but then the Croftians came along with their role-playing games and made the whole thing look silly, and now there are these "Weather Rangers" mucking about and trying to interfere with the atmosphere's immune system and keep it from remobilizing DOR.

That is all we need to kill off what is left of the atmospheric energy. The global orgone capacity is down around 35% now from what it was in the early 1940s, before the Atomic Age began, and the biological and meteorological effects are showing up everywhere, and
the very last thing we need is a gang of Weather Monkeys fooling around with no idea what they are doing.

To make things even worse, Jamie Ogg knows perfectly well all about all this, but he is encouraging them in their hubris because he has recently had a falling out with Mary Higgins and her merry crew and is feeling hurt and angry at orgonomy so he wants to promote a rival movement.

With a well-thought-out carefully-done cloudbusting project it might be possible to keep this planet ticking long enough for the Atomic Era to end and the atmosphere might recover. That is what Reich wanted to happen, and what Eva was still wishing for when she died.  But the combination of mass production of oranur and a mass movement of Weather Monkeys is more than it will be able to survive.

Skeptics And Crazies

The argument about water vapor being the most important greenhouse gas was brought up many years ago by Reid Bryson, who was the top climatologist in the country, and from whom I learned some of the things I have expounded on the orgonescience list.

The global warming scare is nothing but PR for the nuclear industry to get the environmentalists to go away and hassle the coal industry for a while.

But you simply cannot say, "ignore the orgonomic facts" and think only within the mechanistic theories. The mechanistic theories are dead wrong, period. The atmosphere functions according to orgonomic findings, and there is no other way to look at it. There IS an atmospheric breakdown underway. And it IS man-made. And it IS serious. Reich wrote about it in the 50s and it has only gotten worse. And now it is bad enough that even people who have no idea of the facts are seeing the effects and reaching for answers.

 Some are crazy enough to think the changes they see in the sky are due to some plot to spray chemicals out of airplanes. Some imagine there is some secret government weather manipulation program using some imaginary electromagnetic technology. Some think it is being caused by invisible shape-shifting reptiles from another universe. But all these lunatics are really seeing the effects of DOR and do not understand what causes it.

Not surprisingly, the crazies are trying to solve the problem within their own paradigms. The chemtrail hobbyists are pestering honest goverment employees with Freedom of Information act requests about non-existent chemical spraying programs and trying to get lawsuits or Congressional investigations going, the Croftians are indulging in their role-playing games of fighting aliens with their toy cloudbusters, and numerous psychics are hard at work setting the weather right with their psychic powers.

 



 The very idea that the weather should be "controlled" by humans to solve the problems of a chaotic atmosphere is based on the misunderstanding of what is happening to it. The whole problem is caused by humans "controlling" it in the first place by building nuclear reactors, which "control" the weather by irritating it into wild fluctuations like droughts and floods.

What is needed is to "uncontrol" it; to help the atmosphere return to the condition it was in before the humans started irritating it. In Reichian terms, to re-establish atmospheric self-regulation. But leave it to the mechanists to blunder onto the scene with a bad solution that, if it actually did work,  would  only make things worse by trying to add yet another layer of artificial intervention to the already serious atmospheric crisis.

But the skeptics, justified as they are, who are debunking the "global warming" hoax, are not helping much either. By denial of the obvious fact that the climate really IS changing, they make it even harder for the voices of those who know there is a problem to be taken seriously. And at the same time, the skeptics also discredit skepticism about global warming by denial of the obvious.

It is like what Freud said when asked how to raise children: "Whatever you do is wrong."

DOR Removal Vs. Weather Control

   DOR Removal Vs. Weather Control
                                                      By Joel Carlinsky

DOR is a reaction of the atmospheric orgone to heavy infestation of Deadly Orgone Radiation (DOR), a term coined  in the mid-twentieth century by Dr. Wilhelm Reich, inventor of the cloudbuster, to refer to a stagnant form of energy that was diametrically opposed to the flowing, pulsating, life-enhancing energy which Reich termed orgone energy."

Orgone movements underlie all atmospheric behavior and DOR, being stagnant and relatively motionless, blocks the free pulsation of the atmosphere and cause droughts. Floods and hyper-strong winds such as tornadoes are a reaction of the remaining motile orgone to cleanse itself and return to normal pulsation.

The cloudbuster can facilitate removal of DOR, thus restoring the atmosphere to life and motion, ending the tendency to drought and other extreme weather.

Unfortunately, the cloudbuster has a side-effect. If used improperly, it can enable the operator to control the weather. Many people are attracted to this prospect. Such attraction is a pathology, no matter how it is rationalized.
 
Anyone who speaks of cloudbusting as "weather engineering" or "weather control" clearly does not understand it. Attempting to control the weather with a cloudbuster is malpractice. Responsible cloudbusting is not about "controling weather". It is about healing a sick atmosphere of the illness caused by human intervention and restoring it to normal so it can regulate itself.
 
Self-regulation of the atmosphere is the goal of all responsible cloudbusting. If there is a problem of atmospheric functioning, the cloudbuster can and should be used to remove the obstacle that is preventing the atmosphere from behaving normally. Interfering with a normally functioning atmosphere to produce an abnormal condition or series of events is only to add to the already nearly fatal malfunctioning of the atmosphere which is being caused by other types of human activities.  
The failure to grasp this essential point is not limitted to cowboy cloudbuster enthusiasts. It is the common attitude toward nearly everything of nearly all humans in this sick culture that nothing in nature should be beyond human control and exploitation. Control of the weather has been a popular dream for centuries and remains so today for many people who have never heard of cloudbusting.
 
 Until the cloudbuster was invented, this dream was harmless, but now, when these people, still suffering from this pathological desire to impose their will on the atmosphere, are able to arm themselves with cloudbusters, it has become a frightening reality that threatens all life on earth.
