In the worst case of censorship ever in the US back then, all scientific stuff of psychologist Wilhelm Reich was burned in a garbage container in New York in 1957. How low can you get? Reichenbach was sent to prison for contempt of court. But for his original conviction no rational grounds are to be discovered.

His organon energy was at forehand considered nonsense. Maybe because it derived from orgasm. A delicate subject in those days, to say the least. He made orgone accumulators and constructed a vast experimental setup. Organon. Kate Bush sang a song about him and his cloudbusters. These things actually worked, hough Im off course not sure about this. I saw a film where a farmer said that after long drought the device was used and that evening it started to rain.

All his experimental stuff was destroyed and all his books were burned in that incinerator. Banned. Reich wrote a fascinating book in which he analyzed fascism and Nazism (for which he fleed from Austria). Hitler didn't let go his sexual energy (now why would that be...), with the result a blockage inside which gave rise to his tyrant aspirations, directing his anger energy (fed by blocked sexual energies) to jews.

Why was Reich sent to jail? Where he died 7 months later. Was it pure irrationality that took hold of people? Was there a well grounded reason? Or what?
