Wilhelm Reich, a Contemporary of Sigmund Freud in Germany, also a psychoanalyst, discovered what he claimed was the unifying force throughout the Universe. An energy he called Orgone. After leaving Germany because of Hitler, he wound up in the USA. He built Orgone accumulators and people felt that there was something to them. Reich also developed a technology that the US government used. Something kind of spooky about counter magnetic fields and time travel. (The Philadelphia Experiment). He was sued. But he refused to show up in court, unless he could bring an orgone generator to prove that it worked. He was found guilty of contempt of court and was imprisoned. All his books were burned. It became a crime to send books that contained the word 'Orgone' in them via interstate commerce. Reich was imprisoned for years. And surprise, He contracted cancer in prison and died. His wife immediately left the USA never to return. And oh, I forgot to mention that while he was in prison, the authorities 'raided' his workshop and destroyed all his research equipment. Nice. I know someone who had positive benefits from sitting in an orgone accumulator. I find it interesting that this Substack is largely about governmental misinformation. And the 'Orgone' example used is classic governmental misinformation from years ago.
