A Record of Various Deliberated Misrepresentations, Distortions, Attacks and Smears
Directed Against Wilhelm Reich and His Supporters in the Science of Orgonomy Since the 1930s,
With a List of published articles giving rebuttal and analysis of the same.
Covering both the Early and Contemporary European and American Campaigns.
This page under constant update and revision. New submissions and/or corrections are welcomed.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT WIKIPEDIA ENTRIES ON WILHELM REICH AND ORGONOMY: The Wikipedia website entries are popular, but can be altered by virtually any anonymous person who desires to scribble some unsubstantiated personal opinion, gossip or deliberate deceit into them, or to erase legitimate and accurate materials which they object to. Over the years, the Wikipedia entries on "Wilhelm Reich", "orgone energy", "orgonomy", "orgone accumulator", "cloudbusting", and so on, have had important factual materials erased, and substantial falsehood and even slander inserted by the professional "skeptic clubbers" and other "activists" with a personal grudge against Reich's findings. By doing so, they have fabricated their own false narrative of Reich as a "quack pornographer" who "went insane" late in life, and who has "no scientific support" for his orgone energy discoveries. Wikipedia thereby helps to publicly spread a fully malicious misrepresentation of Reich's life and work, while simultaneously censoring and deleting all the newer scientific evidence indicating the importance of his findings for psychology, biology, physics, cosmology and atmospheric science. Wikipedia entries on Reich should therefore not be consulted as accurate material, only as expressions of the open war against his findings which began in Europe in the 1930s, when Nazis and Communists maliciously assaulted him in newspapers, put him on death-lists and burned his books. This same malicious aggression to Get Reich continued in the USA after 1947 when a tidal wave of mainstream media slander began, leading to his death in prison, and the burning of his books. Today, people of similar upset emotional backgrounds aim to utterly destroy the legacy of his research, through continued slander and distortion. For more information, see the "Emotional Plague Bibliography" and the OBRL "Response to Skeptics" pages.

A. Experiments Undertaken by the Food and Drug Administration:
In the 1950s, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) contracted with several medical institutions to experimentally test the orgone accumulator. The papers listed below were obtained by James DeMeo in the 1980s, through a Freedom of Information Act search of FDA files. They presently remain on file in the FDA headquarters in Rockville, Maryland. None of them were of publishable quality, and most contained major misunderstandings and errors of fact regarding the functioning of the orgone accumulator, the object of most of the studies; other glaring errors in traditional scientific method prevailed in the execution of the experiments, rendering them substandard scientifically. Cover letters to these papers often revealed contempt for the work, and an explicit desire to "prove" Reich a fraud, reflecting the witch-hunt atmosphere that the FDA tests were conducted in. The FDA materials have been more than adequately rebutted in citations 1972d, 1972p, 1973m, 1974g, and 1983b in the larger chronological bibliography. Other materials were contained within the FDA files which discussed a small number of medical tests with the orgone accumulator not reflected in any of the given citations. However, these were not presented in an organized paper format and, given their loose and nondescript nature, were not cited here.

B. Ongoing Attacks Made in Popular Publications, with REBUTTAL/ANALYSIS publications (Partial Listing):
This section includes books, magazine and newspaper articles which contain a greater or lesser amount of unfactual, distorted, and poorly-researched materials on Reich or orgonomy, materials which attack Reich on emotional grounds, for "moral" reasons, which condemn his biophysical research as "fraud", "quackery", and so on, and which generally possess a contemptuous tone. None attempt to either trace the red thread of logic in his overall theory, or make significant reference to published experiments. Most of these works cite rumor and gossip as fact, and others are downright vicious in their use of fabrications. Such approaches are most prevalent where genitality and orgone biophysics are discussed. A few of these authors devote 95% of their works to analyzing and sometimes praising Reich's early contributions to psychoanalysis, only to contemptuously or flippantly dismiss his studies on genitality and orgone biophysics, often in a few short, distorted paragraphs or pages. The list is not thorough, and includes only the most widely read of such materials. Opinions formulated about Reich or orgonomy based upon these works cannot possibly be accurate or factual. For detailed discussion and response to these attacks, see citations 1948b, 1972d, 1972p, 1973m, 1974g, 1983b, and 1983g. Also see the citations with keywords "history" or "emotional plague" for additional discussion and documentation on the prejudice against Reich within the FDA and medical establishment, and the anti-Reich media campaign which occurred in the late 1940s and 1950s.
Articles appearing on internet provide web site addresses which may not remain current for extended periods. A listing of foreign newspaper and magazine articles attacking Reich, which also includes materials from the years prior to his arrival in America, can be found in citation 1953g of this Bibliography. Note that these European materials are exceedingly incomplete, and reflect only a fraction of the published attacks against Reich during that period.
