        A) Orgone Accumulator Thermal Anomaly. The late Albert Einstein once called Reich's "To-T" experiment -- measuring the temperature inside an orgone energy accumulator relative to the temperature outside of it -- a "bomb in physics".  He verified Reich's experiment, but later swept the matter aside. Now into the second year of work, new automated To-T apparatus at OBRL has provided yet another wonderful verification of Reich's original discovery, of spontaneous heat production inside the orgone accumulator.  The following photos can now be made public, of a newly-developed rotating To-T device, which balances out residual thermal variations where the measurements are made.  Data is recorded automatically, via Mac computer using the Vernier Logger Pro software.  Two systems are in constant operation, one indoors, and the other outdoors inside a special thermal shelter.  Details will be presented at the forthcoming 2005 Conference (see above).

        B) Atmospheric Potentials. The electrical charge of the atmosphere, using a long wire antenna attached to a Vacuum-Tube Millivoltmeter (Kiethley 610-B), is being constantly monitored, following on the early experiments of Harold Saxton Burr on the "electrodynamic field" model. Experiments are confirming what many have long anticipated, that the Burr method for measurement of atmospheric potentials shows parallel results to thermal excitation in the orgone accumulator.  A new set of readings is planned, to evaluate electrostatic discharge rates parallel to the other two parameters.  Dr. DeMeo undertook extensive millivoltmeter experiments during the 1970's and 80's, as a means of measuring atmospheric oranur effects, but only recently has this same research track been opened to renewed investigation. Demonstrations of the millivoltmeter detection methods are a regular part of the OBRL seminars.

        C) Oranur Physics & Radioactivity.  A new set of experiments is in development, to make a very controlled and scaled-down evaluation of Reich's prior observations on the "oranur effect", and related anomalous transmutations of radioactive materials.  This work will require sensitive radiation detection equipment which OBRL does not presently have, for both quantitative and qualitative evaluations of radioactive decay rates.  If you can assist with this new project financially, please review the fund-raising letter attached below.

        A) A two-part article appeared in "World Cultures: Journal of Comparative and Cross-Cultural Research".  James DeMeo "A 'Saharasian' Climate-linked Geographical Pattern in the Global Cross-Cultural Data on Human Behavior" World Cultures Vol.14, No.2, Spring 2004, p.111-143.

        B)  Another article on the topic of "Cosmological Ether-Drift" and its relationship to orgone energy and the "dark matter" question will also soon appear in the physics journal, Galilean Electrodynamics. The article "A Substantive and Tangible Cosmological Ether", reconciles both Wilhelm Reich's "Cosmic Superimposition" theory and Dayton Miller's "Earth-entrained Ether" to modern astrophysics and "dark matter" observations. A pre-press copy is available for review here:

http://www.orgonelab.org/DynamicEther.pdf

        C) An article in Spanish "Reich: sobre bebés y niños" recently appeared in the journal Medicina Holistica: Medicinas Complementarias No.72, p.326-330.  It discusses James DeMeo's Saharasia work, in the nature of a short review, as authored by Cristina Marin.

Other new articles and books coming to our attention will be announced via the OBRL email newsletters as they are published.

5. Book Donations to OBRL. Several individuals have, in recent months, contributed sets of Reich books and old journals of great historical value for orgonomy to the OBRL Library and Archives. These donations are greatly appreciated, as there always is a demand for old journals and out-of-print books by Reich, or on the subject of orgonomy in general. If you have such books and are considering to throw them out, please consider gifting them to OBRL, where we can add them to our library collection, or otherwise put them into the hands of students and others who will continue to reap a benefit.

6. Once Again, on the Controversial Nature of OBRL-News-Bulletin: OBRL-News-Bulletin has, for recent years, predominantly focused upon the topic of DeMeo's "Saharasia" and Reich's "Mass Psychology of Fascism", as they are played out in recent years on the international social scene, most notably in Islamic-Saharasian regions. The various postings have stimulated much open discussion and controversy, and will continue more or less into the foreseeable future, just as the problem of international terrorism and the new epoch of global spreading of "Saharasian" cultural/emotional armoring continues. Of special concern is the growing global spread and influence of the Wahhabist variant of Islam, which originated in the deserts of Saudi Arabia, and has taken on a quality even more deadly than what occurred in Europe during the Medieval period of female genocide ("witch-burning"), as organized by the Christian Church. It appears to be radicalizing and supplanting all other branches of the Islamic faith -- being promoted via ~70-Billion dollars per year from its hyper-puritanical sponsors in Saudi Arabia, at the core-epicenter of Saharasia. The Wahhabist creed constitutes the emotional foundations of the Talibans, Osama Bin Ladin, the murderers of Russian school-children, and various suicide-bomber-murder cults from New York to Madrid, Palestine to Bali.  It is far more threatening to human life, love and freedom, and better organized and funded, with ongoing political support from many Saharasian-Islamic nations, than any other life-negative ideology one might point to by comparison. As demonstrated with exacting and painful detail in DeMeo's book "Saharasia", this form of hardened anti-life ideology, and the character structures who carry it, was born within the harsh deserts of Arabia. It was used as a prototypical model in DeMeo's original Saharasian research for the most extremely armored and patristic character structure observed and described by cross-cultural researchers in anthropology. While some have argued that human characterological armoring "is global" today, or that "violence is global", or that "structural violence" within Western democracies is comparable to the armored patrism of modern Islam, objective analysis refutes this assertion utterly, and the original Saharasian maps continue to be a powerful predictor of global events. There is substantive evidence to demonstrate a lower incidence of armoring and social violence within the modern-day nations most geographically distant from Saharasia, just as recorded in the original Saharasia maps published in the early 1980s. In fact, the history of the bloody 20th Century indicates those regions geographically closest to Saharasia fell to the fascist plague most readily and willingly -- specifically Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, Red China and Imperial Japan -- and together with the Islamist variant of totalitarian social structure, they constituted the largest historical spreading of violent-armored patristic character structure in the history of the world. Genocides and mass-murder, going well beyond even the Nazi Holocaust, were the consequence, and there is virtually nothing even remotely approaching these levels of sadistic mass-violence within the nations distant from Saharasia. This is fact, even though the Emotional Plague of Mankind (Reich's term) has infected nearly every nation to a greater or lesser extent. The peak expression of this geographical pattern was in the mid-20th Century. More will be said on this subject in DeMeo's future publications, but the reader who is fully ignorant of the details underlying this provocative paragraph should obtain the original book --Saharasia: The 4000 BCE Origins of Child Abuse, Sex-Repression, Warfare and Social Violence, In the Deserts of the Old World -- most quickly and directly from the OBRL online bookstore: http://www.orgonelab.org/cart/xdemeo.htm This is controversial material, certainly, as upsetting for people anchored on the conservative-right as on the liberal-left sides of the characterological/sociological political split. It goes to the functional core of the human dilemma, following on Reich's important discovery of human armoring and those factors which create the "Mass Psychology" of fascism and social violence. OBRL News Bulletin will continue to be a conduit for relevant materials. For now it is simply restated that Reich's discoveries, and DeMeo's Saharasia findings are a "red-hot coal" dropped into the hands, which challenge major parts of nearly everyone's world view, while also providing an exceptionally clear understanding of the "why" behind turbulent historical and current events.

7. The OBRL/NEW Bookstore List. Our Internet Bookstore continues to offer some of the most controversial and difficult-to-obtain titles on new science discoveries and social concerns, including many "timeless" titles by scientist-authors whose findings only grow in significance with passing years. The booklist includes the available published works by Wilhelm Reich, A.S. Neill, Harold Burr, Frank Brown, Dayton Miller, Giorgio Piccardi, Viktor Schauberger, and many others. We also offer meters for detection of low-level electromagnetic and nuclear radiation, and the newly-developed Life Energy Meter. If you haven't visited our Internet Product and Bookstore recently, come take a look. http://www.orgonelab.org/naturalenergy

Specifically we can recommend our latest publication Heretic's Notebook: Emotions, Protocells, Ether-Drift and Cosmic Life Energy, with New Research Supporting Wilhelm Reich. If you have an interest in Reich's discoveries, this book provides some of the most substantive, objective and up-to-date research on the subject:

8. Funding/Donation Appeal. OBRL continues to suffer from financial difficulties. There always is a pressing need for new laboratory apparatus, and the small reservoir which was used to help finance our Summer seminars over eight years is now depleted -- the summer seminars always cost OBRL far more than they brought in from fees, and so it is very likely the fees will be increased for 2005. If you are in a position to donate to OBRL, please do so at this webpage:
