  Wilhelm Reich
Reich had earlier observed the deteriorating effects of the PA-bions, which he believed to be charged with orgone energy, had on T-bacilli, which he now believed was an agent of cancer.
It was titled "The Strange Case of Wilhelm Reich" and subtitled "The man who blames both neuroses and cancer on unsatisfactory sexual activities has been repudiated by only one scientific journal." The journal she refers to was Psychosomatic Medicine, which characterized Reich’s orgone energy as "a surrealistic creation," according to Brady.
This is the cause of the burning of Wilhelm Reich’s books, this is the cause of the destruction of Wilhelm Reich’s equipment, and this is the cause of Wilhelm Reich dying alone in a prison cell.

 Wilhelm Reich ... Leary Got 37 Years ... Normal Again...
Reich was not only thrown in prison, but they chopped up all the scientific equipment in his laboratory with axes and burned all of his books in an incinerator.
When I started studying Reich's works, I went through a period of enthusiasm, followed by a period of skepticism, followed by a period of just continued interest, but I think a lot of his ideas probably were sound.
Reich is known, at least by myself, as somebody who is mainly what you would call a sex researcher, and Leary was exploring the effects of LSD and psycho actives, let's say.

Wilhelm Reich (March 24, 1897 - November 3, 1957) was an Austrian psychologist trained by Sigmund Freud.
During Reich's exile in USA he claimed to have done scientific study of orgone energy, where Freud's concept of the libido has been transformed into orgone, a form of universal power (an "energy field", which some say is similar to qi - many scientists claim Reich made scientific mistakes, some even call it pseudoscience).
Reich claimed that the masturbatory orgasm does not produce the functional electrical discharge, and that conscious thought during the sexual act prevented the functional orgasm.

His description of Reich as having gone mad during the period of his work in Denmark is illustrative of the psychoanalytic establishment's ongoing contempt for Reich, and willingness to use slander to try and defeat his findings.
Reich had been expelled from the International Psychoanalytic Association at the time Reiche refers to, as mainstream psychoanalysis was trying very hard to "get along with Hitler", and so discharged the "troublemaker" Reich, along with Jewish members as well -- even Freud went along with this policy of appeasement.
Reich was one of the very few in psychoanalysis who openly opposed appeasement with the Nazis, and was slandered and smeared by many of his analytical associates for his anti-fascist writings.

Wilhelm Reich was born in Austria in 1897.
Reich claimed that he could measure and collect this "orgone" in an "orgone box" and use it as a form of therapy.

As every schoolchild once knew -- back in the reactionary days when schoolchildren were expected to know something -- the U.S. Constitution ordains that there shall be "no laws" abridging freedom of speech or of the press.
I spent a lot of time, in 1957-58, hunting for people who owned copies of Dr. Reich's books and doing exactly what the Inquisitors had wished to prevent me from doing -- reading the verboten books and forming my own judgement on the validity or lack of validity in Dr. Reich's various theories.....

The book presents the evidence that ever since the CIA-Nazi-Tsarist alliance of the 1940s, the Tsarists have taken over as the "brains" of the Control System and America has become a Tsarist nation, with the Constitution only known to those who peek in the back of their dictionaries, like I did.
