Every time I've talked about the Cloudbuster lately, people have had questions.
GubbaHOST
0:06
Not so much about who Wilhelm Reich was anymore, or even what the Cloudbuster looks like, but about what he actually did with it, how it operated, what did he think he was seeing, and did he ever record failures? And also what happened when he took the entire experiment out of Maine and into one of the driest environments he could find.
GubbaHOST

That is where I want to go with this episode, because after digging deeper into Reich's records, I realize the Cloudbuster story gets much more interesting once you stop treating it like a strange machine and start looking at it as a long-running series of experiments.
GubbaHOST

So Reich wasn't simply pointing pipes at the clouds and hoping for rain.

And that's what I feel like I see in my garden.
GubbaHOST
6:27
And Reich had already recorded several operations he believed had worked with this cloudbuster.
GubbaHOST
6:33
So in Maine in 1953, he was asked to intervene during drought conditions, threatening the the blueberry crop near wrangley and according to accounts preserved by the wilhelm reich museum rain followed and the crop was supposedly reportedly saved so his core records also describe an operation near ellsworth where a fog front rolled in from the ocean followed by gentle rain, another experiment intended to keep rain away from a children's parade, and a Boston operation that Reich believed helped break extreme heat when an unexpected storm arrived.
GubbaHOST

So he even documented repeated attempts at fog lifting, drought breaking, cloud dissipation, and cloud formation.
Greg CarlwoodHOST

Well, today we're talking to someone who's done all this and more, and that's Christopher Topher Gardner, host of the BioCharisma podcast on a 10-acre plot in rural Missouri.
Greg CarlwoodHOST
1:27
He's put into practice much of the wisdom he gained from many of the bright minds we talk about around here, Nikola Tesla, Wilhelm Reich, Victor Schauberger, and many more.
Greg CarlwoodHOST
1:35
His dedication to healing the intentionally depleted and neglected soil resulted in forming his own supercharged biochar company.
Greg CarlwoodHOST
1:43
Black Gold Biochar, where he produces 400 tons a month, aligning the modern need for an income with the needs of the earth and those living on it.

So actually doing physical stuff in the physical world that aligns with these principles and the bright minds that we're going to talk about, I just think is amazing.
Greg CarlwoodHOST
10:31
And the only way that we make inroads against the situation we're in and the I guess I would want to start with some of your inspirations.
Greg CarlwoodHOST
10:41
You know, we talk about Victor Schauberger, Wilhelm Reich, a lot of these people.
Greg CarlwoodHOST
10:47
Talk to us about some of the people you put on your short list that have been most inspirational to you, whose work fuels some of the experiments and wide range of things you do on the land.

The cramped quarters made it easier for him to think.

Old Horsemeat called it the Cat Orgone Box after the famed orgone energy accumulators of the late wildcat psychoanalyst Dr. Wilhelm Reich.
Scott MillerNARRATOR
12:23
If only, Gummidge thought, he could devise some way of objectifying the intimations of beauty that flitted through his darkly clouded mind.
Scott MillerNARRATOR
12:35
Now, on the evening of the sunny day, when he had backed away from his water bowl, he attacked the problem anew.
Carlos JuicoHOST
17:02
Oh, now we got to myth bust this.
Carlos JuicoHOST
17:04
So this thing was actually invented by this person called Wilhelm Reich.
Carlos JuicoHOST
17:09
Okay, okay.
Carlos JuicoHOST
17:09
Now he made it and he actually got jailed.
Tim MendhamCORRESPONDENT
37:33
Damn, you know, people are supposed to...
Tim MendhamCORRESPONDENT
37:34
What's his name? Is this Reich? No, Wilhelm Reich.
Tim MendhamCORRESPONDENT
37:40
Willem Riker with his organ energy machine and everything, which is supposed to align people as much as machines, so it makes you work better.
Tim MendhamCORRESPONDENT
37:47
Richard? Maybe
Wayne BledsoeHOST
53:23
And, of course, this was the era when the Soviet Union was taking over all the little Eastern European countries.
Wayne BledsoeHOST
53:31
But this movie is a combination of documentary about Wilhelm Reich, who was sort of this sex therapist guy who believed that when you had an orgasm, this chemical called orgone was released.
Wayne BledsoeHOST
53:47
And that was what made that green flash when the sun goes down, right at the sunset.
Wayne BledsoeHOST
53:53
Sometimes you see a green flash.
Wayne BledsoeHOST
54:51
Wow.
Wayne BledsoeHOST
54:52
But he did another movie called...
Wayne BledsoeHOST
54:53
What was the name of that? It's called WR, which stands for Wilhelm Reich.
Chuck CampbellHOST
54:56
Okay.
Seth GruberGUEST

Then put your abortion box back on the shelf and then take out your sexual perversion box and talk about Alfred Kinsey and Wilhelm Reich and Shulamith Firestone and Betty Friedan and then put it back and then take off your other, I don't know, your John Money trans box and be like, okay, so the Reimer twins and the bot circumcision and the twins who both killed themselves is the first experiment for trans and then put that back on the shelf and then take out your critical race theory box.
Seth GruberGUEST
13:21
It doesn't work that way.
Seth GruberGUEST
13:22
The revolutionaries walk in lockstep on all of these issues.

And what are the battlefronts culturally and politically that the left is the most obsessed over the ones that make them froth at the mouth? Is it not those four? Is it not sanctity of life? marriage, procreation, and parental rights.
Seth GruberGUEST
64:33
Those are the four main battlefields.
Seth GruberGUEST
64:35
And those were the battlefields that every leftist, including Margaret Sanger, Alfred Kinsey, Wilhelm Reich, Shulamith Firestone, Betty Friedan, Gloria Steinem, go down the list.
Seth GruberGUEST
64:44
aoc and bernie sanders it's always those four that unite them and they'll put aside their other peripheral political disagreements any time for the right to kill babies the right to define marriage as a man and a woman the right to keep children in the homes of their biological married mother and father and the right of the state to not intervene in the in the parental bond with their children anytime those things get get protected they walk in lockstep to attack those.
Seth GruberGUEST
26:52
We could talk about Max Horkheimer.
Seth GruberGUEST
26:54
We could talk about, you know, all the weird sex perverts out of the Frankfurt School and Herbert Marcuse and all these people and Wilhelm Reich.
Seth GruberGUEST
27:01
We just probably don't have time.
Seth GruberGUEST
27:03
But yeah, the abolition of God led by the targeting of the family.
Richie AllenHOST
1:43
doing this programme, there is one or two things I'd like to get into today.
Richie AllenHOST
1:49
We might take a segue later on to talk about the psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich.
Richie AllenHOST
1:55
Wilhelm Reich.
Richie AllenHOST
1:56
We might do.

if you begin with the latter notion that is to say that sexuality is about intimacy slash sensuality slash pleasure mutual pleasure where two individuals seek to give and receive pleasure via physical intimacy you are likely to feel good about the activity and if i may add about yourself you should feel elevated and empowered remembering once again our formula Pleasure is spirituality, which brings empowerment.
Randolph PittsHOST
29:25
The mutually empowered couple, with what Wilhelm Reich has discussed in our book, The Ugly Person's Guide to How to Get Laid, called orgastic potency, can achieve anything.
Randolph PittsHOST
29:38
But again, how often do we observe such couples? I know there's someone out there for me.
Randolph PittsHOST
29:52
However, back to intimacy, which raises yet another question.
