After having been chased out of Germany, Denmark, Norway or Sweeden (I don't
know which) and then jailed on "transporting orgone boxes" charges in the
USA, he would have been crazy NOT to consider something or someone was "out
to get him."  After having been kicked out of this and that organization for
nebulous and unclear reasons he was supposed to have steadfastly considered
his experience to be "only chance" and random occurences?  How is
considering conspiricy as a possibility different from acting on a belief of
conspiricy?  Did he go beyond considering?  I do not think so.
