I'll tell you what, M Plot, why don't you buzz on up here (remember being invited a couple of weeks ago?) and we'll show you what we do and send you home with more knowledge than what you arrived with.

The alleged 'orgone' started as a brilliant researcher's (Wilhem Reich) attempt to find a scientific measurement for 'good vibes' which he hypothesized created an actual radiation that could travel great distances. But he failed and 'orgone' was a dead end and destroyed his career and discredited all his great work exposing the harsh authoritarianism of fascism. Reich's unproven ideas about 'orgone' made a perfect device for discrediting all is other work. The US government was glad to bury the man's reputation because he was writing about the same mass behavioral psychology the government was trying to secretly imbue into the US population using Total Warfare doctrines to get something like the hostile and obedient authoritarian personality syndrome that still supports W to this day.
The 'orgone' hoax has three discrediting functions-
1) Discredit the science of global warming, especially Senate Bill 517.
2) Discredit the science of psychological warfare by making it "magical vibes and frequencies."
3) Discredit everything it touches with the 'naw, can't be' guilt-by-association.

I must agree: the wide dissemination of the ideas expressed in that chapter (dealing with the sex drive) and the fascist (normal) way of approaching this would have been much more powerful to society,
