Yes, I see now. It is the word usage in Reich's "cloudbuster" that created the confusion in my mind. At first glance, I thought Reich's Orgone Generator dissipated the "good" clouds that bring rain. But I am learning that the device is supposed to disperse "chemtrails", too; hence a "chembuster" appropriate.

From what I can make out, the idea is that it stimulates circulation of natural weather patterns. So it could either bring in clouds or disperse them.

Anyway, back on topic. Many moons ago I read a book which said that DOR could be very dangerous if a person is in its proximity and several of Reich's scientists have been very ill when he was investigating orgone accumulators. So, with this in mind, we need to be careful how and if we use this unknown technology. It could be similar to the Large Hadron Collider - we just dont know what we are playing with.

Claims about a device being able to control the weather that literally just makes the weather acts as it should don't sound too out of the ordinary to most. If what you can make out is true, it's an unfalsifiable claim.

Why don't you look at the OP for once. Maine was experiencing a drought, there were no forecasts for rain, Maine farmers put up a reward for anyone who could generate rain. Reich brought the device you see pictured in the OP, generated rain, and was paid for it.
You'll make what you want to of it, of course mock and insult me too, but the fact remains.

I'm a bit confused at how a 'cloudbuster' that makes bad clouds (you know, the dark ones that cause rain) go away could bring rain, though.
Reich used the cloudbuster to conduct dozens of experiments involving what he called “Cosmic Orgone Engineering (C.O.R.E.).” One of the most notable occurred in 1953. During a long drought that threatened the Maine blueberry crop, several farmers offered to pay Reich if he could bring rain to the parched region. The weather bureau had forecast no rain for several days when Reich began his cloudbusting operations. Ten hours later, a light rain began to fall. Over the next few days, close to two inches fell. The blueberry crop was saved, and in local newspaper articles the farmers credited Reich.

We know the scientific method works, its proven.
Anything outside of the scientific method is unfalsifiable (S (untestable and therefore non existent).
Step back and weigh the evidence, you might find that your hypothesis was wrong. That is how we learn.

I'm not changing my story, I'm reacting/responding to your constant weaseling.
And I didn't claim that it was a legitimate (rigorously proven) science.
And I didn't say that you did - perhaps you should go read what you wrote.
Right, first you say you aren't challenging what I said then you tell me to read my own posts about it.
You claimed, and I quote:
You're telling me someone proved a negative somewhere (that the idea of orgone isn't legitimate) and it missed my attention?
And I said yes - it has proved that it isn't legitmate.
If you want to split hairs, I said the idea of orgone, not the science of orgone. Have you refuted the idea of orgone or not?
Once again, not being proven, is different than being positively refuted.
And if you were as clever as you think you are you would have noticed that I didn't actually say anything at all about it being refuted.
That's not what it looks like to me.
You are constantly playing words games to make it seem as though you have refuted something which you really haven't.
Now come on - I've already asked you to up the ante on your trolling - it's really getting rather too obvious....good trolling should be quite a lot more subtle.
You can't prove a negative
and you're pissed about it.

So you used the term "legitimate" in relation to orgone, and then when I pointed out the obvious error it is me who is weaselling - yeah well that just about sums up your miscellaneous illogic.
Well yeah - 'cos apparently you've forgotten it - so it seems a reasonable thing to ask.
If you want to split hairs, I said the idea of orgone, not the science of orgone. Have you refuted the idea of orgone or not?
Weaselling much?
Of course not - if you bothered to read what I wrote you would have to backtrack on your fantasy, and it is pretty clear far too much of your personality is tied up it!
Word games? You mean like redefining chemtrail to include cloud seeding?
Dude you're the one who started all this definition palaver - don't blame me when you can't stand the heat any more!! :lol
And you can only argue from ignorance - YET AGAIN!
lol - I don't give a rotund rodent's rectum about your little ignorant argument meme - but every time you post it I get to prove your lack of logic - thanks dude
I have no doubt that there is a lot more going on under the covers than most people think. The Russians were using radionics back in the cold war so do you think they would be using that technology if it was unprovable hogwash? No... I dont think so. I think it is you who are ignorant of what is available by not considering all possibilities. But then.. maybe you have your own reasons?
Again, not really. We know a whole lot more than you might think
Let me preface this by saying that I only very recently (within the past few days) started engaging people on this forum about chemtrails. Immediately I see that there is an apparent legion of disinformationists here who will all dog your every post for hours with deflections, putting words in your mouth, and all kinds of childishness.

I disagree, a cloudbuster would be easily provable (by it dissapating clouds). These things are as effective as L Ron Hubbard being able to bust clouds with his mind.

I'm glad you understand it should be supported by science, but the second part of your claim is wrong. See above. If they were so effective the info would be disseminated through alternative news sources.

Actually the ideomotor effect is pretty well documented.

The pain from the needles releases endorphins, has nothing to do with 'life energy'.

Source? Is it unusual for people to be ill at certain times? We know what the LHC does, we knew what it would do before we turned it on. The scaremongers would have you believe otherwise, I'm afraid.
Irrelevant anyway, you are comparing the LHC, a marvel of modern science to some unfalsifiable psuedoscience.

It's called cloud seeding.

The Thai use cloud seeding for 'rainmaking'. Here is a video:
