******************************

1. Summer Seminars will Resume in 2005 at the OBRL Greensprings
Center! We are taking a break from the usual time-consuming lectures
and seminars which have been held at OBRL over the last 8 years, to
catch up on writing and research. The notes below describe work
underway in recent months. The schedule for 2005 is not completed,
but a special "Conference on Orgonomic Research" is planned, as
discussed below.

2. Orgone Biophysical Research In Progress
         A) To-T Documentation. Over this summer research has continued
with investigation of the Orgone Accumulator thermal anomaly -- of
spontaneous and anomalous subtle heat production inside the orgone
accumulator -- which the late Albert Einstein once called a "bomb in
physics" given its refutation of the second law of thermodynamics.
Specialized small orgone accumulators with precisely matched control
enclosures were constructed, with their interior temperatures
monitored around the clock by automated data recording computer
system. Starting in 1999, these experiments have been conducted under
various conditions, including indoors within a specially-constructed
"thermal nest" inside the OBRL laboratory building, shielded from
direct thermal heat sources - especially the Sun - but allowed to
freely communicate with the atmosphere. Later experiments were
conducted outdoors in a special "thermal shelter" located under a
tree canopy. Temperature differences of up to 0.6 degrees C. have so
far been recorded within small 3-ply accumulators, showing both
diurnal and weather-dependent cycles, a most remarkable validation of
the effect given the very rigorous controls applied to the
experimental arrangements. These experiments are expected to continue
through 2004 and into the next year. A Figure showing a graph of the
thermal anomaly readings over a 10-day period is posted here -- it is
reminiscent of a heart-beat:
http://www.orgonelab.org/thermal.jpg
         B) Atmospheric Potentials. The electrical charge of the
atmosphere, using a special detector 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. Those experiments showed parallel
agreement with Reich's observations on atmospheric orgone energy
charge, and the present experiments at OBRL are designed to more
fully evaluate this hypothesis. 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 have been made at the OBRL
seminars.

3. Forthcoming Published Articles. Dr. DeMeo has written five new
articles on his "Saharasia" research, scheduled for appearance within
published books and mainstream anthropology journals. 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
a physics journal. All the articles mention Wilhelm Reich's priority
either substantially, or at minimum in significant citations. As the
articles are published, they will be announced specifically on
OBRL-News-Bulletin and OBRL-Quarterly.

4. Call for Papers: Conference on New Research in Orgonomy in 2005.
OBRL will be hosting a 2 or 3 day "Conference on Orgonomy" with
presentation of new research findings. The event will take place in
early August of 2005, at the OBRL Greensprings Center near Ashland,
Oregon. The list of speakers and presentations will include, but not
be limited to the following:
* Richard Blasband: Consciousness and Orgonomic Theory
* James DeMeo: A 5-Year Desert Greening Project in Eritrea, Africa
* Tom DiFerdinando: An Orgonomically-Based Therapy for Pain and Injury
* Joseph Heckman: Plant Growth Response to Orgone Accumulators
* Peter Jones: Bastian's Plastide Particles and the Bions
* Roberto Maglione: Orgone accumulator field experiments with Corn Seed
Professionals and independent scholars who have research findings in
the field of natural scientific or social orgonomy, and who wish to
present at this Conference, should submit their presentation ideas
for consideration to Dr. James DeMeo, with the following information:
A one-page Abstract of no more than 500 words, suitable for photocopy
reproduction and distribution at the Conference, with the author's
name, professional status and contact information. This can be sent
by postal mail, or emailed as an attachment. A sample Abstract form
appears on the Conference webpage, along with other pertinent
information:
http://www.orgonelab.org/Conference2005.htm

5. Book Donations to OBRL. Several individuals have, in recent
months, contributed sets of books and old journals of great
historical value for orgonomy to the OBRL Library and Archives. These
individuals include Chuck Kelley and Eva Reich, and we wish to
publicly thank them for their generosity.

6. The Controversial Nature of Our Other Newsletter,
OBRL-News-Bulletin: OBRL-News-Bulletin is a separate email list from
OBRL-Quarterly, and its postings for recent years have predominantly
focused upon the topic of DeMeo's "Saharasia" and Reich's "Mass
Psychology of Fascism", as they are played out 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, given by its
hyper-puritanical sponsors in Saudi Arabia. The Wahhabist creed
constitutes the emotional foundations of the Talibans, Osama Bin
Ladin and various suicide-bomber-murder cults from New York to
Madrid, Palestine to Bali, and 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. 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 "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. 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 Jewish 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 Dr. 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
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. Subscribers to OBRL-Quarterly who wish to get on
that more controversial and frequent OBRL-News-Bulletin list, should
request to be added (be sure to clarify, you want
"OBRL-News-Bulletin"), or subscribe yourself at the Yahoo Groups
website: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/OBRL-News-Bulletin 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 historical and
current events.

7. The OBRL/NEW Bookstore List. The Natural Energy Works 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 time. 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:
http://www.orgonelab.org/cart/xpulse.htm

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:
http://www.orgonelab.org/cart/donation.htm
For more details, please review our most recent Funding Letter:

Dear OBRL-Quarterly Subscriber,

For over twenty-five years, The Orgone Biophysical Research
Laboratory (OBRL) has relied upon the generosity of a limited number
of donors, including our subscribers.

As participants at past OBRL Seminars, readers of our publications
(Pulse of the Planet, Heretic's Notebook, Saharasia, Orgone
Accumulator Handbook) and of the OBRL postings, you are familiar with
the research of Dr. James DeMeo and his informal circle of
associates, including laboratory findings, desert-greening field
work, and educational efforts aimed at maintaining clarity and
furthering the sociological and orgone biophysical work started by
the late Dr. Wilhelm Reich.

The research undertaken at OBRL, and our seminars and publications,
as well as the maintenance and development of OBRL offices and
website, requires substantial resources.

Notices and Publication Special Offering
28 Nov. 2004

Dear OBRL-Quarterly Subscriber,

Holidays are approaching fast, and it is probable that many of you
have not yet obtained and read the several different publications of
the Orgone Biophysical Research Lab, or the many other titles listed
at the OBRL on-line bookstore, as hosted by "Natural Energy Works" --
these are necessary background materials for the OBRL-News postings,
as well as for getting a better understanding of Wilhelm Reich's
discoveries, and of the world.  They additionally are "timeless"
materials of scientific and historical substance which do not go "out
of date" like so many other books one might obtain.  We also carry a
line of measuring instruments which allow easy evaluations of
environmental hazards the average individual is likely to be exposed
to in their home or office, and which are essential for estimating
safe use of orgone energy accumulating devices.  All of our offerings
are excellent choices for holiday gifts as well as for one's personal
use and life-enhancement.  Click here for the full list of offerings:
http://www.orgonelab.org/naturalenergy

Regarding OBRL and Natural Energy Works publications:

**** "The Orgone Accumulator Handbook" continues now into the 15th
year of circulation, updated and revised from the original edition,
and is an excellent overview of the subject, especially for the young
student or those just "getting their feet wet" in simple orgone
accumulator experiences.
http://www.orgonelab.org/cart/xdemeo.htm

**** "Heretic's Notebook (Pulse of the Planet #5)" is an excellent
overview of new research in orgonomy by dozens of different authors,
covering topics from childbirth and sexuality, to microscopic bion
research, to the orgone accumulator, to milestone desert-greening
experiments in Africa, to the orgone energy motor.
http://www.orgonelab.org/cart/xpulse.htm

**** Saharasia continues to stimulate interest and controversy within
the mainstream academic world, as the discovery of a distinct global
geographical pattern in human behavior related to child-treatment and
sexuality spreads into human thinking.  This work also places Wilhelm
Reich into center-stage as the foremost scientist on human behavior
issues, and connects the ancient origins of social violence and
warfare to its modern expressions, such as Islamic terrorism. It is
most assuredly a "politically incorrect" book, and one every
OBRL-News subscriber will want to be familiar with.
http://www.orgonelab.org/cart/xdemeo.htm

**** We also carry a full line of available in-print editions of
Wilhelm Reich's books, as well as back issues of various journals
devoted to Reich, and over 200 different titles on the subjects of
life-energy research from different scientific perspectives. If you
have not recently reviewed our offerings, you are missing out.
http://www.orgonelab.org/naturalenergy.htm

A DOUBLE-GOOD REASON TO TAKE A LOOK: For the month of December, we
are opening up sales of our in-house publications to the general
public at standard publisher's discounts.  This means, you can
purchase quantities of our book titles at from 20% to 40% discount,
which can be better than what is offered even by Amazon.com.  This
offer is being made only through the OBRL-News and OBRL-Quarterly
subscriber lists and will expire on January 1st.  To take advantage
of this offer, you must use the special on-line ordering webpage for
bookstores.  This discount is valid only for our in-house
publications, as listed at this specific webpage:
http://www.orgonelab.org/cart/bookstores.htm

SPECIAL NOTE TO EUROPEANS: With the dollar at an all-time low against
the Euro, now is an excellent time to order multiple copies of our
publications for yourself, friends and family. Not only do you get
the extra discount on our in-house publications, but a great exchange
rate from dollars to Euros, which is the rough equivalent of an
additional 30% discount right off the top.  $100 worth of our books
can be purchased for around 70 Euros. US Postal rates for
international shipping will also increase by as much as 30% in
January 2005, to compensate for the falling dollar, so take advantage
now of the good prices.

YOUR DONATIONS ARE IMPORTANT: Also please consider to make a
tax-deductible Donation to the Orgone Biophysical Research Lab, to
assist with our on-going research and educational programs.  A
separate mailing will be sent around in early December providing an
overview of current OBRL activities, but our fundraising letter from
earlier this year is still posted to our website:
http://www.orgonelab.org/donation.htm
http://www.orgonelab.org/funding.htm

OBRL now enters into its 26th year, with more seminars and a special
"Conference on New Research in Orgonomy" to be offered in Summer
2005. A "Call For Papers" has been issued to scientists, clinicians
and serious students of orgonomy who have done independent research,
and it should be a very lively event.  More info on this forthcoming
via OBRL-News-Bulletin, and on this webpage:
http://www.orgonelab.org/Conference2005.htm

Specifically I want to plug the works of a little-known scholar Bat
Ye'or, who has been writing and documenting the spread of Islamic
conquest and crushing repression of its conquered "dhimmi"
populations over nearly 1400 years of world history.  Her latest work
is entitled "Eurabia".  It presents a stimulating argument, rich with
documentation, and she may correctly be viewed as a European "Paul
Revere" -- though if she is correct, this analogy will be totally
lost on those who need to hear her message the most.  Born in Egypt
with a Jewish background, Ye'or was one of the hundreds of thousands
of refugees ejected from Arab countries in the mid-20th Century, as
retribution for Israel's survival.  She lived in France and
Switzerland for the last 30 years, speaking multiple languages of the
Middle East, and so knows a thing or two about the subject.  One may
disagree with her conclusions, but it will be impossible to ignore
the wealth of evidence she has gathered.  Consider Bat Ye'or as one
of the marvelous matriarch-scholars of modern times. J.D.

* EURABIA: The Euro-Arab Axis, by Bat Ye'or. This book is about the
transformation of Europe into "Eurabia", a cultural and political
appendage of the Arab/Muslim world. Eurabia, in contrast to the
mainstream of democratic Europe, is fundamentally anti-Christian,
anti-Western, anti-American, and anti-Semitic. The social
institutions pushing along this transformation, and which continue to
propagate its ideological message, include the "Euro-Arab Dialogue"
and others developed through the EEC and EU by European and Arab
politicians and intellectuals over the past 30 years. This
organizational push, which few Europeans even know about, has
fostered changes in immigration laws, monetary policy, foreign aid,
cultural transfers, economic and military alliances, and a general
attitude of "dhimmitude" among European news media who embrace a
fantasy-history of "peaceful Islam", and have been slavishly
pro-Muslim in their reporting. Long term historical and geographical
ties between European and Islamic regions -- as seen most clearly in
the alliances between Germany and Turkey, and between France,
Algeria, Syria and Iraq, over most of the 20th Century -- have
facilitated this process of transformation. Like a frog being cooked
in a pot of slowly heated water, the current shrinking populations of
Europe are threatened to be overwhelmed by expanding Muslim
populations, who bring repressive Islamic Sharia Law traditions
supplanting both more-tolerant Christian traditions, as well as the
Enlightenment and Renaissance values which lay at the foundations of
every freedom-oriented European social development. The pending entry
of Islamic Turkey into the EU -- being fostered by European diplomats
and Arabist-intellectuals, without any genuine public debate or
democratic decision-making -- is a case in point. Those familiar with
Wilhelm Reich's work and James DeMeo's "Saharasia", will find Bat
Ye'or's writings to lack a focus upon important emotional and
sex-economic foundations which explain "why" many in Europe (and the
USA) are more comfortable with restrictive Islamic culture than, by
contrast, with either mainstream American or Israeli culture, even
while foundational freedoms historically absent from Islamic culture
--democracy, women's rights, secular and sexual freedom -- constitute
a shared Euro-American-Israeli heritage. Eurabia nevertheless
documents, with considerable evidence, the socio-economic
configurations of an accelerating spread of patristic cultural
elements out of the Saharasian desert belt within very modern times.
This will have increasingly predictable life-negative influences.
Eurabia is a stark warning for everyone concerned about human rights,
the status of women, secular values and sexual freedom, in the face
of mass-migrations from totalitarian Islamic nations where important
Western values are treated only as toxic social poison, to be stamped
out and swept aside. 384 pp.

One hard-hitting on-line book review:
http://www.torontofreepress.com/2005/caruba021405.htm

Dear OBRL-News-Bulletin and OBRL-Quarterly Subscribers,

We are continuing with our data recording on the To-T experiment,
using data recorders hooked to lap-top portable computers, and other
experiments are underway or planned which require similar set-ups.

As a cost-saving measure, we routinely use computers which are
several years old, not "top of the line", but certainly very good for
our purposes. They are put into operation around-the-clock, and so
there is more wear and tear on our systems than the usual consumer
would give them.  Spare parts are also in demand, so even
malfunctioning computers can be useful to us.

Currently in use at OBRL are Macintosh G3 and G4 computers, laptop
portables, but we also have a need for Windows-type PC Laptops, or
possibly desktop systems either Mac or Windows.  If you have any such
computers which you've been considering to give away or discard, we
would be interested to obtain them as a donation, for which you would
get a letter from OBRL which can be used for a tax-deduction.

At this point, we would accept donations of any of the following:

Macintosh Laptop Portables:

	 G3 Lombard or Pismo
	 Working or Malfunctioning (for parts)
	 G4 Any system, working or malfunctioning (for parts)
	 Mac G4 dekstop systems? (possibly?)

Windows Laptop Portables or Desktops:
	 what have you got to donate?

Also needed:  working color printer and printer/copier for Mac or
Windows type system.

Give this some consideration and let us know what you've got. I'll
then let you know if this would be workable for our needs.

Thanks in advance,

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.

Dear Subscribers,

The Conference on New Research in Orgonomy, held at the OBRL
Greensprings Center in Ashland, Oregon on August 6-7, was a wonderful
event, and a big thanks goes out to all the speakers and the
approximately 30 persons who attended and participated.  Most all of
the presentations were made in the new outdoor ampitheatre, under the
trees, in a beautiful and relaxing natural environment.  A microscopy
demonstration, and another video presentation and apparatus
demonstration (on vacor tubes and the new Life Energy Meter/Scanner)
were made inside the main laboratory building.

A small booklet, with the Schedule and Abstracts of all
presentations, was distributed to those in attendance, and this has
since been uploaded to the OBRL website.  It is now available without
charge to the general public as a downloadable pdf, which can be
opened via Adobe Reader or Adobe Acrobat.  It can be obtained from
this link:

http://www.orgonelab.org/Abstracts2005.pdf

It is a large file, over 2.5 MB, so plan accordingly.  A special
Proceedings volume of all the presented papers is in the planning,
for publication early next year. The next OBRL Quarterly Newsletter
will go out in early September, with additional information.

If you missed this Summer's events, consider to plan ahead for next
year, around the same time.

Best wishes,

James DeMeo, Ph.D.
Director of OBRL

Dear OBRL-News/Quarterly Subscribers:

Following many years of deliberated censorship of open discussion and
debate on the "infectious HIV" theory, a firestorm has broken out
among journalists in the Northeast USA.  This has followed the
publication of Celia Farber's article critical of the "infectious
HIV" theory in Harper's Magazine (March 2006), with positive
references to the work of Peter Duesberg (Professor of Cell Biology
at UC Berkeley).  I've already posted a downloadable pdf copy of the
Farber article to the OBRL-News "files" section.*  Below is a
subsequent article in the NY Times on the matter, followed by two
letters to the editor by Tom DiFerdinando, who also issues an open
call for others to write their own letters of support for a
re-opening of public discussion on the HIV and AIDS issue.  I will
post out my own letter-to-the-editor separately, but only to
OBRL-News.

Aside from Farber's article in Harpers, there has been a general
black-out of open discussion on the matter, in both the popular and
scientific press.  This is so, irrespective of the high death-tolls
and ignorant posturing (and demands to censor out dissent) by so many
of the leaders in the "AIDS research" and "AIDS treatment"
communities.

Thanks to Tom DiFerdinando for bringing this matter to our attention.
He has been indefatigable in public education efforts, and ending
censorship on the AIDS issue.  Together with his small group of
associates in HEAL NY, they have been rescuing many who otherwise
were in the grips of slow iatrogenic death, and have done a hero's
job in opposing the black-out of open discussion which is today
self-imposed by science and journalism.

Best wishes,

James DeMeo


* Celia Farber is also author of the forthcoming book "Serious
Adverse Events: An Uncensored History of AIDS" due out in May.  We
will try to get a few copies of it available from the OBRL on-line
bookstore, but in the meantime, we still have copies of Peter
Duesberg's books and related items.  See the "AIDS" section on the
left-hand side at this website:

An Article in Harper's Ignites a Controversy Over H.I.V.

By LIA MILLER
Published: March 13, 2006

In his last issue as the editor of Harper's Magazine, Lewis Lapham
has left a parting gift for his successor: a firestorm in the media
and among AIDS researchers.

The source is a 15-page article in the March issue, titled "Out of
Control: AIDS and the Corruption of Medical Science," by Celia
Farber. Ms. Farber, a longtime magazine journalist, has been a
polarizing figure because she has frequently written about the
position of "AIDS dissidents," who argue that H.I.V. does not cause
AIDS.

The Harper's article centers on a clinical trial in Uganda for the
drug Nevirapine that was later criticized for poor methodology and
treatment of some test subjects. But the final third of the article
focuses on the tangentially related topic of Dr. Peter Duesberg, a
professor of molecular and cell biology at the University of
California, Berkeley, and a leading AIDS dissident, and his strained
relationship with the National Institutes of Health.

Soon after the article's publication, rebuttals to Dr. Duesberg's
theories and to other aspects of Ms. Farber's article were posted on
Web sites like The Nation (www.thenation.com) and www.poz.com. A
37-page document, written by eight prominent AIDS researchers, was
posted on the Treatment Action Campaign Web site (www.tac.org.za), a
group that campaigns for greater access to H.I.V. treatment in South
Africa. Harper's received a surge of letters and phone calls.

Roger Hodge, who will succeed Mr. Lapham at Harper's next month, said
that Mr. Lapham initially assigned Ms. Farber an article about Dr.
Duesberg's cancer research, but the assignment was changed when news
of the drug trial broke. Mr. Hodge edited the article.

"We knew, of course, that everyone would be upset," he said, adding
that the article was thoroughly fact-checked. "This is a very
contentious subject. We have gotten some very, very thoughtful
responses. But other pieces have generated a lot more mail."

John P. Moore, a professor of microbiology and immunology at the
Weill Medical College of Cornell University and one of the authors of
the Treatment Action Campaign's rebuttal, said he was shocked when he
first saw the article. He said it seemed apparent that Mr. Hodge
wanted to "teach the controversy" of Dr. Duesberg's ideas, a
controversy that he said AIDS researchers had resolved long ago. He
added that Harper's reputation had "taken an irreparable hit." Dr.
Duesberg didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment.

Benjamin Ryan, an editor at large at HIV Plus magazine who writes a
monthly health column on Gay.com, said he had lost faith in Harper's.
He said, as did many scientists, that the article was poorly
fact-checked and had glaring errors.

Ms. Farber says that neither she nor Harper's endorse Dr. Duesberg's
position, but that she is simply reporting on an unpopular view.
"People can't distinguish, it seems, between describing dissent and
being dissent," she said.

"I'm very familiar, since 20 years, with the hysteria end of the
spectrum, the rage that breaks out when one touches certain tenets of
dogma," she wrote in an e-mail message. "Anger has been the dominant
emotion in AIDS for a long time, almost the only emotion that seems
to really function. Anger is connected to fear. I understand it. I'm
used to it. I hope we can transcend it."

Mr. Hodge said the magazine stood behind the article and Ms. Farber.

"The fact that she's been covering this story does not make her a
crackpot - it makes her a journalist. She's a courageous journalist,
I believe, because she has covered the story at great personal cost."

Dear Friends,

With the publication this month of Celia Farber's Harper's Magazine
article "Out of Control: AIDS and the Corruption of Medical Science"
(www.harpers.org ), and a follow-up acknowledgement in the New York
Times Monday March 13th "An Article in Harper's Ignites a Controversy
Over HIV", a real opportunity to engage the AIDS Establishment has
opened up:
http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/13/business/media/13harpers.html

This letter is meant as a time-dependent rallying call, reminding all
those who care about the HIV/AIDS issue - and who may be unaware of
what is presently happening - that in over twenty years, these
opportunities have been few and far between. Indeed, it's already
been over five years since President Mbeki began his summer 2000
attempt to slow the AIDS industry's juggernaut in South Africa.

So enter Harper's magazine. Harper's has done a great service to
everyone concerned with the HIV debate: whether you're coming from
the humanitarian angle, the activist angle or the scientific angle,
it has provided us an opportunity to engage the central defenders of
the AIDS industry from inside their own ranks. The proof that they
have been rattled is in their rapid and vociferous responses to the
Harper's article, particularly in the guise of their official
rebuttal "Errors in Celia Farber's March 2006 Article in Harper's
Magazine", written by figureheads as varied as Robert Gallo, Nathan
Geffen and Gregg Gonsalves: http://www.tac.org.za/ (click "rebuttal")

Although most of our books, rebuttals, letters and articles with
their impeccable challenges to the AIDS Establishment have, over the
years, gotten swallowed up unnoticed into the HIV hysteria like a
drop of water in a tidal wave, one may well ask what it is that
justifies a renewed effort at this time. The answer is simple:
although challenges to the HIV myth at the media fringe can be well
tolerated by the AIDS Establishment, dissenting discussion from
WITHIN the machinery confuses, disorients and agitates it. Not only
were the HIV/ARV advocates clearly unsettled by the Harper's article,
right now they are sitting a little happier, having temporarily
quelled their cognitive dissonance with their rebuttal and it's "56
errors".

I am appealing here to ALL - AND I TRULY MEAN ALL - who are concerned
with the AIDS debacle and its far-reaching consequences. Whether you
are new to these "dissenting" arguments or have been instrumental in
constructing them; whether credentialed, un-credentialed, activist,
scientist, parent or simply a truly concerned citizen: we need to
make migraines out of the headaches these Establishment leaders are
presently suffering and we need to make sure their smug rebuttal
comes back to haunt them.

In practical terms, please consider writing two immediate letters if
you haven't already done so:

Firstly, send a brief (150 words or less) letter to Harper's, in
support of publication and hopeful follow-up of Celia's article "Out
of Control": letters@...

Secondly, send one to the New York Times, applauding them for their
fair-minded reporting on this controversial subject and then
encouraging them to CONTINUE to cover it: letters@... (Please
consider to cc your letter to the publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr.:
publisher@... the reporter Lia Miller: Lia@... the
Times Readers' Representative Byron Calame: public@... and
the "corrections and clarifications" editor Mark Getzfred:
getzfred@... )

I am well aware that people are busy. But I'm writing solely to
EMPHASIZE that opportunities like this one really are few and far
between. Please put in a little extra effort right now to help
intensify the charge and keep the HIV/AIDS Establishment on the run.

If you would like, please send or bcc me copies of your letters and
whether or not they got published, so that I can catalogue them for a
separate web page. You are welcome - and encouraged - to circulate
this call to any appropriate email groups or lists.

Subject:  Thank you for the Celia Farber AIDS article
Date:   Sat, 04 Mar 2006

Dear Harper's,

Thank you for the publication of Celia Farber's piece on AIDS fraud
and misrepresentation "Out of Control". It is rare when journals,
magazines, mainstream TV or radio - even alternative news sources -
have the integrity to research, and the courage to report, the
devastating facts highlighted by Ms. Farber; they just press upon too
many sensitive political, economic and emotional issues for too many
political, economic and emotional people.

I have worked the front lines of this controversy myself for fifteen
years, having counseled many thousands of "HIV+" and "AIDS-diagnosed"
individuals around the world, attending, producing and speaking at
many "alternative" AIDS conferences, especially here in New York
City; what Farber describes in print is borne out by my direct
experience 100%. It is fear and medicine in the West, and fear and
poverty (and nevirapine) in Africa and elsewhere that are killing
people, not "HIV".

Harper's can also expect to become the target of a childish,
hysterical backlash from AIDS activists who would face a major loss
of identity, and harsh criticisms from the medical doctors and public
health officials who would face a major loss of prestige and income -
not to mention possible criminal charges - if the public begins to
investigate the facts for themselves. Nonetheless, we cannot continue
to ignore or rationalize away the horrific effects of these drugs on
babies and pregnant woman.

Date:   Sat, 18 Mar 2006

Dear Editor,

   Thank you for Lia Miller's fair and balanced reporting on the
Harper's Magazine firestorm "An Article in Harper's Ignites a
Controversy Over HIV" (March 13, 2006). The question of AIDS
causation and treatment in general and Dr. Peter Duesberg's
involvement in particular has indeed been contentious.

   But please note that the source of the present controversy lay not
with journalists like Harper's Celia Farber and their outstanding and
indefatigable reportage of disturbing facts and fraud; it has been
with those who, for twenty five years now, insist on inventing,
omitting and re-positioning the facts to conform to very powerful,
socially pre-existent political, economic and sexual-emotional
agendas.

   This truly is an explosive issue, and I strongly encourage the Times
and reporter Lia Miller to continue this investigation into a
situation that has in itself - far more than any "mysterious virus" -
caused the unnecessary death and suffering of so many.
