(Gubba Homestead) Sept. 1, 2026: The doctor who invented the cloudbuster [atmospheric manipulator, not rainmaker] died while in a federal prison for contempt, and the court ordered his research and books was burned.
His name was Wilhelm Reich, a physician and psychoanalyst who spent decades studying what he called "orgone" energy, a force (orgastic potency) he believed moved through living things and the atmosphere.
Dr. Reich designed arrays of hollow metal pipes connected to water and pointed them at the sky. He claimed they could shift atmospheric conditions, dissipate clouds, and even bring rain.

In 1953, blueberry growers in Maine paid Dr. Reich after rain followed one of his experiments.
In the mid-1950s, he ran the same tests in the Arizona desert.
Then the FDA came for his medical device orgone accumulators, a federal court issued an injunction, and quantities of his publications were destroyed by burning under court order. He died in detention in 1957.
Gubba has been running her own backyard version of Dr. Reich's work:

Nepal flooding LIVE | Roads, bridges, power projects hit | Rasuwa Flash Flood Fury
(CNN-News18) Started streaming Aug. 26, 2026: A powerful flash flood is unleashing widespread destruction in Nepal’s Rasuwa district near its border with Tibet, with roads, bridges, and major infrastructure being hit as floodwaters surge through the region.
The flooding along the Bhote Koshi River has disrupted connectivity and affected power infrastructure, including hydropower projects. Villages and homes are also being impacted as authorities and rescue teams assess the full scale of the destruction.
The disaster has once again highlighted the vulnerability of Himalayan communities and critical infrastructure to sudden floods, torrential rain, and extreme weather events. With damaged roads and bridges complicating access, rescue and relief operations face major challenges.

Why is Europe suddenly overheated and underprepared?
(ABC News) Massive crowds from California to North Carolina to Minnesota to New York turnout to protest ICE crackdowns, Trump's dictatorship and lies, and to take attention away from redactedEpstein Files. What does "redacted" mean?
Redacting or sanitizing means removing sensitive information from a document so that it may be distributed to a broader audience. It is intended to conceal information while allowing the selective disclosure of other information. Typically, the result is a document that is unsuitable for transparency but suitable for publication or for dissemination to others rather than the intended audience of the original document. More
What is real? That's the question. Orange County is covered with strange clouds, as is Los Angeles County.
The OC is a crown of sparkling beaches, and one jewel is Dana Point. But it's suddenly overcast and rain is coming out of nowhere (nowhere being chemtrails).
Chemtrails are real?
Documentary filmmaker and activist Matt Landman (actualactivists.com) discusses the sinister motives behind chemtrails and geoengineering.
Through meticulous research and hard scientific evidence, Chemtrails Exposed reveals how powerful global elites, shadowy institutions, and scientific gatekeepers have manipulated the skies above us. Every applicable government agency and most mainstream media outlets claim chemtrails are just a “conspiracy theory.”
They say the lines in the skies are merely harmless “condensation trails” (contrails) that jet aircraft produce with heat high in the atmosphere, not actual emissions that linger for hours as they spread out and form hazy cloud cover.
They say that anyone who asserts that aircraft are spraying us with toxic materials is “crazy.” If this is so,
Why do we see anomalous levels of toxins in rainwater and ambient air samples?
Why are hundreds of scientists and scores of scientific organizations advocating for spraying substances from aircraft and calling it “geoengineering?”
Why is there a world-famous Ph.D. scientist who has, in a long series of peer-reviewed journal articles, made the case for chemtrails and shown detailed evidence of their harmful effects?
Why do we have whistleblowers from the U.S. Air Force and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)?
Why is there is a huge, detailed, chronologically consistent body of evidence supporting the fact that the lines in the sky are part of a global weather modification project with roots going back over 100 years?
Researcher Peter A. Kirby studies chemtrail spraying, a covert program of aerosol geoengineering in our skies. The spraying is related to weather modification and much more.
In 1961, Rear Admiral Luis de Florez advocated making weather control as important in scope as the Manhattan Project, which produced the first atomic bomb, according to Kirby.
Patents show how aerosols put into the atmosphere can be manipulated to modify the weather. Chemtrail spraying is now largely done using remotely flown drones because pilots have become a liability, Kirby asserts.
As evidence for chemtrail spraying, researchers cite massive amounts of barium and aluminum showing up in rainwater samples taken from around the world. Rather than this spraying being used to combat global warming, Kirby asserts there is a more sinister agenda: It is being conducted by a rogue faction of the U.S. military.
For instance, the epic California drought could be caused by chemtrails to bankrupt farmers, at which point monied interests buy up depreciated farmland. But Kirby believes the chemtrail program may be coming to an end due in part to a military incident in October 2013 allegedly involving nuclear devices near Charleston, South Carolina.
In the aftermath of this event, Kirby predicts certain elements will be purged from the military, including those who run the chemtrail program. See Chemtrails Exposed on Activist Post. More
Chemical trails (persistent aerosol dispersants) are being reported all around the planet. This 2004 research was the first to verify what pilots, air traffic controllers, police, Marines, and tanker crews were reporting. Chemtrails Confirmed reveals the scientists who are working on the project, the Congressman who oversaw America's "exotic weapons" project, and details to understand the synthetic toxic clouds in the sky and the project that produces them.
He defines geoengineering as "the manipulation of the Earth's weather," including the weaponization of the weather to create crises for political or economic gain.
Landman argued that such practices have been covertly going on since at least the late 1800s, referencing a 1891 U.S. government patent for producing rainfall.
"People started to notice it about 30 years ago...when the 'grid patterns' [of aerosol dispersal chemtrails] in the sky started to pick up," Landman explains.
He claims NASA has a daily budget of $80 million for its chemtrail program: "There [are] a lot of nefarious action going on...it's all covert," he states, adding that international participation includes organizations like the United Nations and corporations like General Electric.
He also highlights the UK's recent announcement to invest in geoengineering and the recent reports of England's attempts to dim the sun.
Landman stresses these technologies are toxic, with many methods using heavy metals such as barium and aluminum particulates. He suggests the grand agenda here is to create problems that only the authorities can solve.

[David Icke has stated this countless times: problem followed by prepared solution.]
"They're creating catastrophes so that they can come in and be the heroes with the solution," Landman says. Despite his concerns, he remains optimistic about the potential for change, stating: "We are winning this war...there is a rising consciousness."
He likens the current situation around chemtrails to the earlier battles against GMOs (genetically modified organisms), suggesting that public awareness can promote societal change.

I wish, I wish I were Daisy from Great Gatsby
It seemed to begin when I was a kid in middle school. I couldn't wait to get to the ninth grade so I could be all grown up like the seniors. They had mustaches, cars, and girls fawning all over them. But a strange thing happened, and I saw and noticed it in slow motion. Neither I nor my classmates were ever getting any older. We were the same people being promoted through the grades. The older kids left school never to be seen again, so there was no direct comparison. But in my I remember thinking that by the 9th grade, there was no real noticeable change. Sure, there was progression. We didn't freeze in time. What I mean is, we didn't become them. The 7th graders did NOT grow up to look like the 9th graders of our youth. What was going on? It might all be perspective, but everyone began to notice.
There must be a "self"! Or else who's writing -- and who's reading? - There is a self, an atta or atman. Touch your chest; there's the self. It does no good to think, "Is there a 'self' or is there not a 'self'?" What is useful is to ask,What is the nature of that "self" that for sure is existing right here right now?
It is (as impossible as it will ever actually be to believe but actually possible to see) utterly impersonal. This is why Buddhism is not a faith.
CAN YOU PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS "NOT SELF" BUSINESS? IT SEEMS LIKE A JOKE. - Yes. It is possible to explain with an analogy. Let's say I say, "There's no such thing as a 'car.'" Then pointing you'll say, "You're crazy. It's right there! They're everywhere. Cased closed!"
But I'll say, "I didn't say there isn't anything that looks like a 'car.' The illusion exists, and it's quite useful to designate assemblages of things and cling to them as real entities, but the fact is -- in an ultimate sense -- there is no such thing as a car. You might ask, "What is there then?"
To that I will point to all the parts that, when put together, give the illusion of a new thing coming into existence. It sure seems to come into existence. It can do things the parts couldn't, and conventionally speaking, it is new to existence. But it never really makes it. It is unreal, an illusion.
"What's the proof?" you say.
I say, "Let's take it apart and find it." We proceed to disassemble the whole assemblage, and when we come to the last two pieces and separate them, do you think a 'car' will fall out?
No, it was never like that!
Exactly! And what was it like? Let's say a car is composed of 5,000 pieces but really only needs five (5): wheels, frame, motor, steering wheel, and brake. Is there a 'car' in there, or do these exist independently?
They exist independently. We don't need those particular pieces. Any set of wheels, frame, motor, steering device, and brake will do.
Do you see? The 'car' does not come into being and, of course, never goes out of being, in an ultimate sense. An illusion arises, and an illusion goes away, and this "illusion" is a convenient descriptor of that assemblage.
I don't get it.
Let's make it easier. Fire does not exist.
That's easier?
Yeah, because now you can point and say, "You're crazy. That's it right there. There's fire everywhere. Case closed!"
I will then counter by pointing out that what we call "fire," what we regard as real and existing and being "fire," is actually an illusion that arises utterly dependent on five factors.
What five? It is just one thing, a fundamental element!
Not at all. The five (and there can be more, but let's keep it to five fundamental ingredients which, when present, reliably give the persistent illusion of fire): fuel, heat, oxygen, wick, and the mysterious process-of-combustion. (We can go on and on analyzing "fire" into parts, but the one thing that is sure is that it is all parts, not a compact thing in itself).
How do we know that?
We know that because when present, Bam! The illusion arises. When any is missing, the illusion goes away. Put the five together (in a functionally coordinated way) and there it is, "fire." Take any way, and where has it gone? Where does fire go when it goes out?
Up? No, I don't know, into oblivion?
Does it wait in oblivion to come back? Because, let's say we remove oxygen, it will go right out. Add the oxygen back, and it will roar back. Where was it in the meantime?
It was not anywhere. It does not actually "go" out. It becomes unmanifested.
It becomes nonexistent, except it doesn't really come into and go out of existence either. It just seems to. Why? Because it is conditionally originated, that is, dependently originated. When this is, that comes to be. When that is not, it does not come to be.
Oh, I kinda get it. I don't believe it! I think people, and fire, and cars are real. Real REAL.
Can you begin to see, however, how and why someone might say they're unreal?
Not really. That's crazy.
It's crazy to our conventional way of worrying and needing to cling to illusions. But let's say we wanted to be free of illusions, then wouldn't it be great to disillusion ourselves?
Disillusion?
Awaken, enlighten, clearly see what's really there?
Well, yeah, sure if we could be sure that that really is the Truth.
We can. The Buddha saw it, pointed to it, and invited us to come and see, to clearly see the Truth, not to believe him or anyone else. We with our own purified and intensified eyes, heart, mind could come and see. Where is the car before the parts-of-a-car are assembled?
It isn't anywhere.
Where will it go when disassembled again?
It won't "go" anywhere.
Now you're getting it! It doesn't come or go because it was never really what it seemed to be. Illusion arises, that's for sure, and the illusion of the loss of it, that, too, is sure. But it isn't reality.
Why would anybody talk like this?
One (such as the Awakened One, the historical Buddha) would talk like this because we are clinging to pain (suffering, distress, disappointment) and the unreal. He wanted to move us to reality, and that means waking up to what's REALLY there and what's been there all along.
What's that?
Self and not-self.
Aha! So there is a self?
Yes, conventionally speaking. But ultimately speaking, no. There is no self.
You're crazy. It's right there. I'm pointing at it. Case closed.
And what are you pointing at?
At you, Dummy! I can also point to myself, Smarty.
Good, good. I say you're pointing at a body.
Well, sure, but within that body there's a soul, and that's the self!
Good, very good. The body is an illusion; you can see that much. Now let me disassemble the soul/self you're sure is in there. What are the components of "self"?
There are no components! It's a highly mysterious fusiform whale carcass thingy with feelings.
Ha ha ha. There is a body; that's one thing, but it is no thing. It is components. We can disassemble, reassemble, add, subtract, but still it's just a functional assemblage of parts. The "self" is partly that and partly four other things.
Things? What things?
Invisible things -- feelings, perceptions, mental formations, and a mysterious process we call consciousness. Whatever else we want to add to "self," it is at least these fundamental five things, these Five Aggregates clung to as "self."
Oh. I think I'm starting to see. You're not crazy, but you're speaking dangerously. Aren't you afraid you're going to vanish in a puff of unsmoke for talking like this?
What would vanish, the illusion? I'd be glad to get rid of it. It has cause incalculable misery (dukkha) and disappointment, chasing after things for it, never being able to satisfy or fulfill it. Ah, to be free!
Free of "self"?
No, free of the persistent illusion of "self" traveling and rearising life after life in this samsara, this Wheel of Rebirth, of Life and Death, of endless suffering (unsatisfactoriness)!
Yeah, I guess that would be good, but what about taking rebirth in a permanent heaven and having a good time all the time till the end of time?
Nice alternative, but it doesn't exist. The longest most enduring heavens all come to an end eventually. It may take a great aeon (maha-kalpa), but beings (dynamic becomings) fall away to continue on according to their just desserts which we call karma. And because of greed, hatred, and delusion (lust, aversion, and ignorance), our many unskillful deeds in pursuit of things will yield many painful results for a long, long time. It would be far better to awaken to the Truth.
Well, I won't argue with that. But who can say what the "Truth" is?
The Awakened One, the Buddha, and those enlightened ones who have awakened by practicing the Teaching (the Dharma) of the Awakened One(s).
Faith (saddha, confidence, truth, conviction) is useful but not nearly as important as a shamanistic attitude to actually come see the Buddha's Teaching, investigate it, and confirm it. It won't liberate us because it's true; it will liberate us because we PRACTICED whether or not we "believed" (had faith) in advance. Better to doubt and question AND practice than to completely "believe" and not practice.
Modern Buddhists try to explain this away by various analogies, many of which amount to Hinduism with different gods and bodhisattvas. It's actually very easy to grasp intellectually and not be confused, almost impossible to accept, as if by accepting we would instantly disappear in a puff of unsmoke (as in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy). We will not. The habitual tendency or "conceit" (māna) to conceive, think, and speak in terms of I-and-other is very strong and not easily wiped away, but actually wiping it away is key to awakening from illusion and clinging and suffering. It is the missing key to enlightenment.
Even Mahayana, which often speaks like a school of Hinduism, could understand this if it only paid attention to its most prized and popular discourse, the Heart Sutra. It's not about love, feelings, and emotions; it's about getting to the heart of wisdom through the perfection of wisdom.
What is there if not a self/soul? - There are Five Aggregates clung to as self. - Who clings?! - The aggregates, steeped in ignorance, cling and have aversion/fear. Released from the illusion (disillusioned), there is freedom and realization that the ultimate Truth was always true. - How does [the illusion of] self arise? - It comes about through Dependent Origination.
Talking about "Emptiness" (Śūnyatā) and "Suchness" (Tathātā) obscures the fact that what the Five Aggregates clung to as self are devoid of is an abiding, enduring HEART, core, essence. Conditioned things do not last even one moment because in the sub-moments there is arising, turning, and falling away. This is true at a submicroscopic level of atoms (kalapas) and mind-moments (cittas), mind and body, name and form.
And this is great news because to really see it, even for a moment, transforms the heart/mind, releases us from illusion, as we are able to effortlessly let go of clinging and be free through the perfection of wisdom, the direct experience of the Truth.
This does not happen by accident. It happens by higher training.
