Orgonon
Rangeley, Maine
My dear Neill:
July 17, 1954Your letter just came-a great pleasure, indeed ... You ask,
will the Orgone come through before the mechanists and chemists
thus I understood it-will blast the world asunder ... I do not know.
But I do know that this mechano-mystical world is dead already, having
tortured itself and billions of children and men and women to death at
an accelerated pace. I am still standing outside this holocaust ... quite
an accomplishment you will admit. Nobody has succeeded in confusing
me yet. It's hard, I admit, to keep up one's natural standing in this mire
of blood and stupidity perpetrated upon a gullible world by the libera
tors. I was glad you wrote [asking] whether Eisenhower has taken
control. He seemed quite dazed for a while, a few months ago, because
of the newness to him of the political hoodlumism rampant here, but
he caught on quickly. He is much firmer now. Your question regarding
the present moment of the eruption of the plague against me is good ...
I found myself suddenly in the middle of the American fight for truth
and justice against a great heap of political and other crooks. It is
dangerous but most thrilling. I cannot tell more at present, only so
much: My Orgone is fighting bravely, in many places, in the hands of
people unknown to me. The FDA did not come through till now. The
judge had signed the injunction unread. We are expecting the result of
the interference* any day now. But no matter what the outcome may be.
Also my own world of yesterday is dead. And I know it. Nothing re
mains standing except my good, valid facts and my theory based on
these facts, i.e., the true nature of the living. Whether it will govern the
public in a few months or in one hundred years I do not know. The sea
of emotional plague is deep indeed. And I remain rather detached. I am
having my first vacation in ten years. I am just enjoying Orgonon and
Peter and Eva and looking into the sky with the new knowledge in
my head.
They have cleared out 114 political hoodlums from the very depart
ment of government from which emerged the conspiracy against my
discovery. The fight is on everywhere, hard and relentless. No quarter
* Some fifteen physicians trained by Reich tried to intervene in the case, in the
hopes of overturning the injunction.
