Franz Anton Mesmer

[M. Hotwagner]

Mesmer had to pass through a similar slandering campaign as W. Reich had to do.
Now, about 200 years later, New Age cultists are claiming him as a "great theosophist".
Seems as if one has just to be dead long enough, to be presented as a friend or even something more.....
