In his 1933 The Mass Psychology of Fascism, Dr. Wilhelm Reich formulated his theory that many social evils – greed, war, racism, authoritarianism – are product of the sadomasochistic sexuality bred by repressive, patriarchal culture. Working in Germany with the Association for Proletarian Sex-Politics to fight the rise of Hitler and the Nazi Party, Reich taught that fascism is the response of the frustrated little dictator in the human psyche who, terrified by the natural expression of love, can only find pleasure in cruelty and coercion. In his psychiatric theory and practice, Reich sought to combat what he called the “Emotional Plague of Mankind” by freeing people from the “character-armoring” which made them easy prey for dictatorial social relations. Years ahead of his time, Reich was forced to flee Germany with the Nazi ascendancy.
It seems clear now that the re-election of George W. Bush in 2004 will be a global catastrophe comparable to Hitler’s rise to power in the 1930s. Indeed, the world has seen few governments since the Nazis so bent on world destruction as the Bush Mob’s. The Bush Administration’s crimes against nature and humanity continue to shock the world, and we are plagued by the creeping fear that we are powerless in the face of this evil.
In the U.S., during the dark years of the early Cold War and the McCarthy witch-hunt, Wilhelm Reich began using his “Cloudbusters” in an effort to dissipate the atmospheric concentrations of paranoia, right-wing hatred, and nuclear fallout sweeping across the country. His research showed that many phenomena in nature depended upon the “orgonomic potential” between energetic systems, and he theorized that, just as a lightning rod attracts atmospheric electrical energy, his Cloudbuster functioned by redirecting the flow of Life Energy (Orgone) through the sky. With proper redirection of the Orgone flow, the fascist energy accumulating in the American countryside could be rendered harmless. Reich’s work was a struggle of Life against Death – Love against Fear – and because of the threat this posed, he was incarcerated by the U.S. government, which also ordered the burning of all extant copies of his writings. In 1956 in NYC, under FBI supervision, six tons of his books were burned. Reich died in prison in 1957.
Today, with stupidity, evil, and death staring at us from the apish visage of George W. Bush, we must heed Wilhelm Reich’s teachings, and rediscover the freedom to be found in the proper use of the Orgone – Life Energy of the Cosmos. Orgastic potency can release us from the bondage of idiocy. If enough of us come together, as Patti Smith sings: “We can wrestle the earth from fools!” People have the Power.
On Thursday, September 2nd, for several hours prior to and during George Bush’s re-nomination ceremony, the Brooklyn Orgastic Politics Collective (BOP-C) will be conducting Orgone operations with several of our Cloudbusters, attempting to suck the fascism from the Republican National Convention at Madison Square Garden. From an undisclosed location on the Brooklyn waterfront, we will be redirecting the flow of Life Energy above the deadly concentrations of hatred and greed accumulating in midtown Manhattan. If indeed our theories prove correct, it may be possible to reduce the entire convention floor to a quivering Saturnalia. The moans of Love shall ring out across the Land!
I've said time an again that if the Republicans got more, as they say, pussy, that they'd be more compassionate. Look at Clinton: "I feel your pain", you could feel his compassion there.
What are the odds that a guy tied up with fascism would be called Reich?

It might not stop the Republican Convention, but it might shut it down for an hour or two as delegates go back to their hotels for a change of underpants after they crap themselves laughing from hearing their thoery.
I wonder how they'll explain it if their theories turn out to be wrong.

All RIGHT! This should be more highly publicised! That would be even funnier than George W. Bush's slide show of him looking under furniture for weapons of mass destruction.

Obviously there will have been something wrong with the setup (perhaps the hate was too thick for their limited number of Cloudbusters), and the next time it'll work. Of course, there's nothing wrong with the theory. Ever. Just forget about the times it doesn't work.

Nuclear fallout sweeping across the country? *Looks at self and other people in the classroom.* That's odd, we don't appear to be long dead of nuclear hellfire...

I think it's fallout of the hyope of the atomic bomb era or some such.
I could be wrong.
