Allan, A friend in Namibia informed me that Croft was there in January, and gave a lecture, after which he set up six of his devices, which were then put into use on a non-stop basis. They did not have any rain afterward for two months, until several persons I know who asked me about it, then took my advise and informed that group. All but two of them took down their devices, and rains resumed. One woman informed me the rains returned later on the very day she took it down. The same thing is slowly occurring here on the West Coast, where I've had maybe 10 inquiries by persons connected with the Croft group. Based upon my recommendation, they stopped using them, or restricted use to only short applications, and have started to read Reich's materials for information on atmospheric energy. Whether these things will have a permanent or short-term effect, I cannot say. Another lesser-known principle in orgone biophysics is that the energetic excitation tends to reduce over time, so that if a person is chronically over-exciting the atmosphere, the atmosphere becomes less and less responsive. Which is why iron pilings and other pipes stuck into the ground for building constructions, piers, and so forth, will only have a temporary effect at best. Nobody who knows about Reich's cloudbusting method uses them for more than a few hours or days at best (and then, only in hard desert regions). Sometimes, a few minutes of work will created the desired changes.
I think, to inform people that prolonged use of any clb-type device can push the atmosphere towards a drying-drought tendency, even as a "chembuster", is a good start. No farmer who puts one of these things up will leave it up if he perceives the rains are diminishing -- and so all you have to do is point that out to them, to watch for that effect. Secondly, I encourage people to have a more critical view of the claims of the "chembuster" conspiracy enthusiasts. We hear a lot about "questioning authority", which is healthy, but the same thing applies to all the conspiracy stuff. Keeping an open mind, but retaining some honest skepticism for unproven things is a helpful tool, and should not be confused with irrational or destructive "skepticism" as with CSICOP. The photos I've seen published in the chemtrail books and websites look like ordinary jet contrails to me, something I've seen since the 1970s in fact, which is around the time when I started looking at the sky in a systematic and serious manner. There are meteorologists who were studying this phenomenon, and the tendency of jet contrails to spread widely under some circumstances, as a possible factor in climate change (it would reduce sunlight, for example). So it is not as if this issue has gone unstudied from the classical perspective. Again, Reich argued the presence of firm jet contrails was an indication that the atmospheric energy had the capacity to "hold together" clouds, and so he considered it a good sign for rains. This is obvious, as a completely cloud-free sky won't provide any rain. Some of the chem-trial photos show thin clouds spread more diffuse and widespread across the atmosphere, and these could be the consequence of typical desert-haze dor, as described by Reich, but they originate from nearby desert regions. Sometimes, over cities, they are injected with all kinds of urban pollutants, but their basic nature is desert-derived. One of the findings I've made, and documented over the last 15 years, is the movement of dor-haze from the deserts of Asia into the USA. The classical meteorologists speak about these trans-oceanic air mass movements as the effects of "desert dust", and there is considerable dust particles in them -- but also dorish qualities to the life energy. There was a big "dust storm" to hit the west coast in April of last year, and it came from Asia. I've seen the satellite images, and there is no question about its source region, in the Gobi region of China. It crossed the Pacific, and then dumped on California. We also got some of it here as well. The sky turned a milky-white at low altitudes, with a thin haze layer at high altitudes, and it persisted for weeks. If they would blame that kind of phenomenon on the UN and New World Order, the US military and so forth, then it would only be a proof of paranoid thinking. Yes, it would be the product of desertification in China, but not because of evil people in Washington DC, or the Pentagon. Since the clay particles from desert dusts is high in both iron and aluminum content, this might also explain some of the metal chemistry attributed to "chemtrails" -- though some stuff coming down from the sky may well be part of cloudseeding experiments. I won't discount all of the chemtrail theory, but simply note that what I have seen suggests much of it, perhaps most of it, is people getting very alarmed over things that are more simply explained, and blaming their health problems in direction away from their own self-injurious lifestyles. Local air pollution is something to be more concerned about than "chemtrails", in my view, though anyone living near an airport will surely note the role of jet exhaust in whatever respiratory problems they might have. So, as with much else, education is the key -- in this case, education on the more classical findings. Most people on your list will know a lot about the alternatives and conspiracy theories. Here's a case where the more mainstream ideas can provide a lot of information. I've provided a short list of web sites that document the desert-dust transport information, and also in our Pulse of the Planet #2, I published a desert-drought map, which goes into these matters in some detail. The forthcoming Pulse #5 also has a detailed discussion of a successful 5-year cloudbusting effort in Eritrea, Africa, with considerable discussion on the desert-haze issue.
