In this country, the rationale developed as follows. Sellers of "snake oil" used to label their merchandise with spurious or unsubstantiated medical claims and were prosecuted on the basis of "false labeling". They learned to omit the claims on the bottle's label and print them on a brochure supplied separately. So the FDA had the laws changed so that any printed material (e.g., ad, brochure, journal article, book) issued by the seller which alludes to an unapproved drug or medical device can be considered labeling for that drug or device. When the FDA won an injunction against Reich and Silvert defining the orgone accumulator as an unapproved medical device, then all of Reich's work that contained a reference to "orgone accumulators" (or even orgone energy) could be considered 'labeling' and could be destroyed. If Reich had chosen to edit out all such references (i.e., censor himself), the books could have remained in print. Reich understandably refused to do that and even declined to identify the several books written before the discovery of orgone energy and containing no references to it. The FDA had no interest in doing so. Thus everything was burned. What needs to be emphasized is that the injunction was against Reich, Silvert, and an organization (I forget the name). And only against them. It is concerned with their labeling of an unapproved medical device that they introduced into interstate commerce. It does not enjoin you or me or anyone else from any behavior regarding orgone accumulators or writing about them. Current manufacturers of orgone accumulators are safe as long as they don't make medical claims about them. All of Reich's books are currently in print without any omissions because the publisher is not manufacturing a medical device. Reich's Oranur experiment deals with the interaction of orgone and nuclear material. Very big and scary results reported but never replicated. [StealthSkater note: is this the link between "UFOs" and nuke events that I've been writing about for so long?] Somewhere around here, I have an article on neutron bombardment of radioactive wastes. The process is postulated to be self sustaining and transmutes the material into a non-radioactive isotope or element. It appeared in "Infinite Energy" a few years ago. I don't have the math or physics background to follow Bearden. But I am convinced by John Bedini's work that Bearden knows much that's important. I do remember, however, that in the 1980s he was quite insistent on the existence of menacing Tesla scalar weapons in the USSR. With the upheavals of perestroika and the break up of the USSR which resulted in a large number of unemployed physicists, we would have heard more about it if it were true.
