3. OBRL's New Observatory - 16" Newtonian & AstroHaven Astronomy Dome
Last summer, 2002, a new addition was constructed on the 3rd story rooftop
of the main laboratory building, a 12' diameter "clamshell" observatory
dome made by the AstroHaven company of Canada. The dome opens up fully to
expose the entire open heavens, and the placement on the rooftop of the
laboratory building places the observatory approximately 30 feet up in the
air, allowing an excellent view above all but the tallest of the trees on
the property. The dome houses a 16" Meade Newtonian reflector telescope,
the largest aperture scope possible for this size of dome, allowing an
excellent imaging of planets, and brighter nebulae, galaxies and star
clusters. The particular Meade telescope was additionally retrofitted with
various upgrades to its support and focusing mechanisms, and fitted also
with a high-density videocam, for displaying of images on computer or
television monitors. Supplementing the larger scope is a set of Chinese
"battleship binoculars", which gives very wide views of the heavens. The
observatory was put to use by students at the Greensprings Seminars, for
both educational and research purposes, and will be a part of this summer's
educational events as well. The clear skies and good "seeing" over
Southern Oregon this summer will make for exceptional views of Mars, soon
to make its closest approach to Earth in several thousand years. A

4. World Congress on Matriarchal Studies:
SOCIETIES IN BALANCE", Luxemburg, 5-7 September 2003
The first Congress on Modern Matriarchal Studies will take place in
Luxemburg this September, as previously announced. Dr. James DeMeo is one
of 22 different invited guest speakers, who will present information on
various sex-positive, peaceful societies around the world, where the role
of women tends to be central. This is the first international conference
ever on this vital subject, bringing together an exceptional group of
scholars from around the world. If the study of genuinely peaceful
societies, and how those societies differ from the "mainstream" of
patriarchal authoritarian culture, is of interest to you, then you'll
definitely want to attend. More information is available at:

5. About cloudbusting, and the massive tornadic storms in the Midwest
Several persons have asked if we know of any reasons for the massive
outbreak of severe tornadoes across the Central USA, several weeks back,
which have wreaked havoc and destruction in many communities. Clearly, it
is an anomalous situation, with the largest number of tornados to
historically occur in such a short period of time. It is possible, we must
acknowledge, that someone or multiple persons in the Western or Great
Plains USA, was either deliberately or ignorantly using cloudbuster devices
to create this problem. Here are some aspects of the problem:
a. The storms were characterized by highly unusual Polar Jet
Stream movements very far south along the West Coast, down into Southern
California, as if someone in that region, or in Arizona, New Mexico, or
northern Mexico, was using a cloudbuster to deliberately bring it down to
that latitude. During winter, this is not an unusual occurrence and brings
beneficial rains, but in spring and summer, the Polar Jet retreats very far
to the north, and so the situation characterizing the severe storms was
most unusual.
b. Nobody known to us at OBRL, nor through our small CORE Network
of trained cloudbuster operators, knows what might stand behind the storms.
Everyone is amazed, but can offer no clarity as to "why". It may, in the
final analysis, also be a "natural" phenomenon related to anomalous solar
activity and solar winds affecting Earth at that same time period.
c. OBRL has already posted out a lengthy discussion on untrained
and/or malicious use of the cloudbuster, and so no more will be said on
that matter (see below), but readers of this email who have more specific
knowledge of anyone who might be working with a cloudbuster in the
Southwestern USA northern Mexico or Great Plains over the last months are
encouraged to contact us with the information.

******************************
6. CORE Projects Overseas... No Funding or Progress this year.
Over the last several decades, OBRL under the direcion of Dr. James DeMeo,
has been a leader in undertaking field research and applications with the
Reich cloudbuster, for CORE (Cosmic Orgone Engineering) projects. His
early work at the University of Kansas, and later drought-breaking
experiments in the USA, provided a foundation for validation of Wilhelm
Reich's earlier claims about the device, and likewise for the research by
others following in Reich's track on this issue. Systematic experiments
were undertaken in Arizona in 1989, providing even better evidence in
support of Reich (now on internet, at
http://www.orgonelab.org/OROPAZ1989.htm ). Later, DeMeo and OBRL led
international teams into some of the world's most intensive drought-desert
regions, and with cooperation and support of both private foundations and
governments, field projects were undertaken in Israel, Namibia and Eritrea
which ended severe droughts, and greened their deserts, often in most
dramatic ways (http://www.orgonelab.org/AIBC.htm ). This record of
accomplishment in the 1990s has attracted further interest, but without the
necessary financial foundations as was present in the past.
In the OBRL Fundraising Letter released last year --
http://www.orgonelab.org/funding.htm -- we mentioned that concerned
individuals had contacted us from drought-disaster regions in Australia,
Western India, and the Horn of Africa, requesting assistance for their
droughts, but without any personal capacities to finance the operations.
The projects have consequently not advanced, as OBRL also has only limited
resources. While we observe tens or hundreds of millions of dollars are
gathered and spent to pay for food imports to such nations after the
drought has developed, or even to pay Public Relations firms money to
promote those drought-starvation regions as "tourist destinations", or
being paid by those same starving nations to lobbying firms in Washington
DC to gain favor with the US Congress for military assistance, for
something as critical as funding a new method which can end massive
drought, nearly nothing is made available. Truly, research following on
the track of Wilhelm Reich, no matter how well supported by evidence, is
the unwanted bastard orphan-child of modern science. Private foundations
-- including the "progressive" ones -- and government officials tend to
treat the subject with a strange and quite "deafening silence", failing to
return phone calls or to respond to letters and Proposals containing
excellent documentation and evidence from past successful operations.
What seems necessary is, that in addition to having the invitations and
local support from concerned individuals in a drought region, there must be
some concerned individuals with financial resources, a respectful knowledge
of Reich's discovery, and a heart-felt desire to do something constructive
for the planet via unorthodox means, to step forward and express their
willingness to help with the finances. We are prepared to undertake these
projects, even this summer if possible, but without the proper funds,
nothing can be done. There is considerable solid research standing behind
Reich's discovery on this subject, as can be easily determined by a review
of the materials posted to our on-line Bibliography on Orgonomy --
http://www.orgonelab.org/bibliography.htm -- once the file is open, use
your browser's "find" command to search out the keyword "cloudbusting".
Concerned individuals with the financial capability to help out should
contact Dr. James DeMeo at OBRL. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
******************************
7. Update on the Experimental Life-Energy Field Meter
In our last Newsletter, we announced the availability of a new Experimental
Life-Energy Meter. Since then, we have engaged in further testing of the
device, and much of this information is now posted to the original web
site. Details and photographs are posted to:
http://www.orgonelab.org/cgi-bin/shop.pl/page=ylemeter.htm
or http://www.orgonelab.org/ylemeter.htm
The meter can register human fields from a distance of half-meter to a full
meter, with varying sensitivities to allow for contact measurements of
objects and liquids. This meter will be a breakthrough, not only
rehabilitating one of Reich's early discoveries (subjected to the 1950s
"ban and burn" order of a US court), but providing a new research tool
which is quite different from typical millivoltmeters or electromagnetic
field meters. The life-energy meter does not respond to electrostatic,
magnetic or electromagnetic fields, for example, and appears to be a new
class of instrumentation with applications directly to the field of
experimental orgone energy, or "subtle energy" research.
This meter will also be demonstrated at the forthcoming OBRL seminars (see
above).

******************************
9. Internet Bibliography on Orgonomy (the science of life-energy functions
in nature) updates.
* The on-line Bibliography on Orgonomy was recently updated to include a
comprehensive indexing of all articles from Wilhelm Reich's serial
publication "International Journal of Sex-Economy and Orgone Research". It
is fairly comprehensive and complete up through about 1945, and about 50%
completed for the period after 1945. Even so, the citations for the period
after 1945 are relatively complete for the subject of Orgone Biophysics,
lacking mostly on the emotional-social side of things. We continue to
work on this project as time permits, and are now continuing with his later
publication "Orgone Energy Bulletin" -- much of this has already been
posted, but it is not yet completed. A separate bibliography of academic
dissertations and theses focused upon Reich's work is also posted, along
with a separate "Emotional Plague Bibliography" listing all the nasty
attack articles hurled against Reich and his supporters over the many
decades.

******************************
10. Jim Martin's book "Wilhelm Reich and the Cold War", update.
Jim Martin's book "Wilhelm Reich and the Cold War" was released several
years ago in a limited hardbound edition. It won the year 2000 Hochberg
Award for Outstanding Research and Journalism, containing as it did an
incredible research into the backgrounds of Reich's major detractors,
including Freedom-of-Information-Act searches of their FBI files. It
exposed the considerable fingerprints of the radical left and Communist
Party in authoring the major smear articles against Reich, and in
engineering his later imprisonment. Some were associated with major CP spy
rings, whose members were convicted for Soviet espionage of US atomic
secrets. For anyone who considered that Reich was a victim purely of
"right-wing McCarthyism", or that Reich was a bit off-his-rocker during the
last years of his life when he was openly stating that "the Communists"
were behind the attacks against him, this book was an eye-opening
revelation. Reich was right, even at the end. And in the years since his
death, we now also know the role that former Stalinists played in the
foundation of the CSICOP "skeptics" movement, the same group of people who
have continued to smear and attack Reich's legacy, and any scientist who
has dared to make favorable mention of Reich's work.
Over the last several years, Jim Martin has been hard at work updating "WR
& TCW" with new materials and it should come out in a more economical
paperbound version sometime in the coming months. No price has yet been
set, but if you are interested to be notified once it is available, give us
a short email and we will put your name on a special list.

11. Angry People! Internet Hackers Attack OBRL and OBRL-News
In late December of 2002, OBRL-News was sabotaged and erased from Internet,
the archive and mailing list deleted, in a deliberate action by an angry
computer programmer who did not like what was posted to the OBRL web site
and on OBRL-News. Thankfully, back-up copies of everything were in our
possession, and no long-term damage was done. We subsequently moved
OBRL-News to Yahoo Groups and it continues unmolested. However, in early
May 2003, the OBRL web site was targeted with a "denial of service" attack,
which temporarily shut things down for a few days. Again, no long-term
damage was done, and we have taken extra security precautions. However,
both of these events occurred against a background of some extremely
malicious hate-mail received here, mostly following a decision after 9-11
by the OBRL Director, James DeMeo, to use OBRL-News as a historical record
for various sex-economic factors underlying social violence across the
large "Saharasian" region. This hate-mail often contained exceedingly
malicious racism and even apologism and support for suicide-murder bombers,
with an allergic intolerance towards any revelation of alliances between
Western leftist groups and radical Islamist terror groups, or old-line
Stalinism. Some of the letter-writers also made open advocacy of 9-11
conspiracy theory diverting well into Holocaust denial and historical
revisionism, as well as some incoherent spitting curses. Everything has
been properly filed away for future reference and with respect to the
internet hackers, for possible legal actions. However, we ask any of our
subscribers to please let us know the details if they hear of "bragging" in
any quarters about such criminal maliciousness directed towards OBRL.
We have been through this kind of thing before, and most persons know of
the history of malicious attacks and distortions directed against Reich and
orgonomy by the organized "skeptic groups". James DeMeo and OBRL have also
been made the target of quite similar attacks, which revealed the
incredible spectacle of "Reichians" making alliances with some of the same
"skeptics". For those who are interested, a special "Emotional Plague
Bibliography" is now posted to the OBRL web site, keeping a record of these
published missives.
http://www.orgonelab.org/bibliogPLAGUE.htm
As before, James DeMeo's book "Saharasia" provides essential reading and
background information regarding the sex-economic basis of the extreme
violence across the Middle East, as well as globally. This book places the
discoveries of Wilhelm Reich on the "Mass Psychology of Fascism" squarely
into center-stage for rational analysis of social violence.
