possibility. I do not believe in state capitalism, nor in state socialism,

nor in any isms any more. This world will crash with all its nonsense,

hypocrisy, bureaucrats, diplomats, politicians in such a deep abyss that,

in order to preserve life itself, the working human beings of all pro­

fessions will simply have to take care of the social process.

I do not worry how my ideas of the future society can come about. I

wish to state this, and I do not want to make any secret of it. There is

and exists a definite kind of power which is beyond all limits and not

accessible to any crook or any kind of politicianship, and I even want

them to know it:

I) I have in my hands and I dispose of the orgone radiation which

exists in the earth and in the atmosphere, and nobody but I knows

how to handle it.

2) I have the knowledge how to determine the weather before any

barometer in the world can do it. They will need it, and badly so.

3) I possess the secret of cancer, rheumatism, tuberculosis, neurosis,

psychosis and many other diseases which devastate social life and

even bring about wars. Nobody but I can handle this field at this time.

4) I have definite proof that it will be possible not only to fight

many of these diseases, not only to direct the radiation, but there are

many indications that the radiation which I have discovered will be

indispensable for science as well as for every aspect of technique.

5) And finally, I alone dispose of the formula and the experiments

which give mankind power over the raising of living substance from

non-living substance.

I have known this for several years, and I did not publish a word

about it. I spoke and have written about the radiation and cancer only to

Einstein. My dear Neill, that means power, and be sure I am going to
use it against every one who will not prove clearly and unmistakably
that he is ready and willing honestly to secure human liberty and
decency. I shall not cooperate in any way with any organization, be it
political or otherwise, which is not thoroughly democratic and which
does not mean what it promises or says. What could they do to me?
Nothing. Put me in jail, hang me, or what? I am not afraid of them. I
know them too well because I have worked with them for many years.
I hate them and despise them, to the deepest bottom of my being.
I do not dream or phantasy ever doing to them what they did to
human beings, to my work, to refugees, to Jews, socialists, children,
