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 here:

* "Response to Martin Gardner's Attack on Orgone Research in Skeptical Inquirer", by James DeMeo, Ph.D.(from Pulse of the Planet #1). The above article was submitted to Skeptical Inquirier (SI) magazine following their publication of a smear attack against Wilhelm Reich, which also smeared Dr. DeMeo and other contemporary researchers in orgonomy. The editors of SI refused to publish the article, or even a much shorter letter of rebuttal. This refusal constituted a serious breach of scientific and journalistic ethics. SI magazine is, however, well-known for its unethical refusal to print rebuttals written by persons smeared and attacked in its pages. SI and the "skeptic clubs" constitute a modern-day version of the "jesters" of the decadent and corrupted courts of old Europe. In addition to the above article, the reader is directed to the following additional pertinent materials on CSICOP (publisher of SI magazine) and the so-called "skeptic groups".
* "Response by James DeMeo to Disinformation and Smears on the Internet: The 'Orgonomy Peddlers' Article" This "Response..." article was prepared after a very malicious and unfactual smear article by skeptic author Joel Carlinsky was circulated on the now-defunct "Orgonomy Mailing List" discussion group, with the endorsement and possible assistance of Mr. Jamerling Ogg of "PORE" and Mr. John-Michael Battaglia. The article was later posted and/or cross-linked, and highlighted (originally with very malicious additional commentary) at Mr. Ogg's Public Orgonomic Research Exchange web site, and later still on a special "OML" web site at GeoCities. (See the "Cautionary Note about PORE" below.) The Carlinsky smears also appear on the KeelyNet web site, as organized by Carlinsky-supporters Jerry Decker and Chuck Henderson. (At the bottom of this page, Carlinsky acknowledges his debt to Mr. Ogg, who in turn recommends KeelyNet on the PORE home page.) These actions by Mr's. Ogg, Battaglia, Decker and Henderson, constituted the first time in history that written smears by a certified CSICOP informer and anti-Reich, anti-orgonomy "skeptic" author have been given public exposure and helpful support by supposed "friends of Reich".
