Exploring Wilhelm Reich's Cloud Buster
This is my cloud buster, my own backyard science
experiment, where when I've had it powered up,
I've watched the sky
go from this to this. And right now, during the
wildfire smoke, I've even watched blue sky open up above
it.
Coincidence? Maybe. But did you know the man behind the
original
cloud buster, Wilhelm Reich, was sent to federal prison, and some of
his work was destroyed to never be seen again.
He believed in an energy called orgone that he thought could be manipulated to
bring rain or clear skies, and ultimately restore balance into the
atmosphere. He ended up making medical claims about
orgone
devices, and that's what got him into trouble with
the government.
He was convicted, sent to prison, and that's where he died in
1957. The federal government didn't just go
after Reich's
devices. A court order resulted in his books and
some of his publications being destroyed.
So whatever you think of his devices, it's actually pretty
wild that books were literally destroyed under
federal authority. I can't help but wonder what the sky would look like if
everyone had one of these in their backyard.
But maybe it's all just a coincidence, and I'm a conspiracy theorist
with too much copper. Let me know what you think
