Wilhelm Reich speaks to pizzagate

in #pizzagate8 years ago

Reich's work was so dangerous to both the Red and Black Fascists (his reference to both Hitler & Stalin) that he was forced to leave Europe for the US in 1939. I suppose we can call the Anglo-American Empire the White Fascists as they came for him in the form of the FDA and jailed him for just one of his revolutionary therapies. He died in prison 3 November 1957.

Reich continues to offer us an insight into the evil that pervades our leadership and how we must stand against it. Reich wrote an essay "Listen, Little Man!" in 1945 not intending it for general publication but for the thinker and the researcher.

I'm offering a few paragraphs here in the hope that his spirit is still with us.

"There is hope in the fact that, among millions of industrious, decent individuals there are always only just a few >pestilential individuals who caused murderous mischief by appealing to the dark and dangerous impulses in the structure of >the armored mass individual and lead them to organize political murder. There's only one antidote to the germs of the >emotional plague in the mass individual: his own feeling of living life. For living does not ask for power but for its proper role >in human life. It is based on the three pillars of love, work and knowledge."

"He who has to protect the living against the emotional plague has to learn to use the right to free speech as we enjoy it >in America at least as well for the good as the emotional plague misuses it for the bad. Granted equal right in the expression >of opinion, the rational finally must win out. This is an important hope."
