Yeah, saw this on you tube.
Pretty good series, The Century of the Self, Part 3 by Adam Curtis.
Overall, I think that it is a good series, and that it had a lot of helpful information, that helped me see past manipulation that I have been controlled with, through television and marketing.
However, the section on Reich, they are able to demonize him quite a bit in a few short sentences. Also, they only discuss him for a couple minutes, and then he is not mentioned again, and through this they associate him with everything that is discussed after… Anything that comes out of the BBC, no matter how helpful it is, like this series, Tavistock is going to have it’s hand in the pot…
But there is video footage of Reich’s Cloudbuster, and a very small clip of an interview with his daughter. Maybe they spoke to her for an hour, to get the one minute of footage that they showed of her.

“His ideas became grandiose to the point of madness. Reich built a giant gun, which he said could capture this energy from the atmosphere, and concentrate it onto clouds to produce rain. He also said the gun could be used to destroy UFOs, which threated the future of the world. In 1956 Reich was arrested by the federal authorities, for selling a device that he said used orgone energy to cure cancer. Reich was treated as a madman. He was imprisoned, and all his books and papers burned on the order of the court. A year later Reich died in prison. To the Freudians it seemed their main threat was removed forever. […]”
I will leave it up to the reader/viewer to decide exactly how this is wrong, or even if it is wrong.
…I wonder if the footage of Reich’s cloudbuster was shot by himself, and somehow survived the destruction of his papers, or if it was someone over at the Beeb who filmed it.
