Poisoning the Orgonomic Wellspring: Carlinsky and CSICOP

New Article posted to the OBRL website:

Open Letter on Joel Carlinsky and the
Organized "Skeptics" War Against American Orgonomy

by James DeMeo, Ph.D.
http://www.orgonelab.org/carlinskyletter.htm

From the "Introduction":

The following Open Letter was prepared in response to a series of
hostile attacks made against my person and work by Mr. Joel
Carlinsky. While Carlinsky began his war-campaign against American
orgonomy and myself in the 1970s, this Open Letter was prepared in
response to new materials written by him which appeared and spread
widely on the global internet since around mid-2004. In these attacks
I have been accused of all sorts of things, most notably of creating
widespread destruction in my 30-years of work investigating and
applying the Reich cloudbuster to world regions of drought.

While I have over many years chosen to ignore the bulk of these
accusations, as noted below I have previously written two rebuttal
articles in response to articles Carlinsky published in print media
-- and which also appeared on internet. However, the newer attacks
were assisted by several individuals with prominent internet websites
and e-groups, suggesting the facts about Carlinsky's history are too
diffusely scattered for some people to know about them. Consequently,
I undertook the larger task of organizing and exposing the following
essential details in the form of an "Open Letter", to make the
pertinent details more widely known.

Knowing how Carlinsky has so terribly attacked everyone in American
orgonomy over nearly 30 years, how he works hand-in-glove with the
organized "skeptic" groups -- including with persons such as Martin
Gardner who were personally involved in destroying Dr. Wilhelm Reich
and the burning of his books -- it strikes me that too many people
either do not know the facts about his history, or they are
themselves secretly on the side of the organized "skeptics" and want
to see orgonomy destroyed and Reich's name and research legacy buried
forever. Taken together with all the past abuses, the new Carlinsky
webpages and email postings paint a false and malicious picture of me
and others in American orgonomy, as well as a too-positive
misportrayal of Carlinsky and his supporters. A need exists for
factual clarification.
