  • Remote Viewing by Tim Rifat Introduction
    Remote Viewing by Tim Rifat Introduction At the height of the Cold War, a new twist to weapons development occurred. The Soviet Union systematised its investigations in to how to harness the paranormal and use it for military purposes. What in other times was seen as magic or witchcraft -laying a curse, predicting the future, having second sight - had already gained scientific respectability in the USSR with the recognition of clairvoyance and the acceptance of psychic phenomena; research into telepathy had started in the Soviet Union in the twenties and thirties. However it was stopped by Stalin, who thought it smacked of idealism and superstition. Now the Russians plunged into a large-scale research programme. Billions of roubles were poured into the investigation and development of psychic energy (psi) and electronic mind-control technology. To convince hard-nosed military men that psychic phenomena can win wars may, on the face of it, appear to be a forlorn task. In fact, it happened the other way, around as some of the leading minds in the Russian military convinced their leaders to spend fortunes on this effort. Science fiction writers have not come close to the reality of the actual research undertaken since then. The aim was no less than to produce psychic agents, capable of visualizing top-secret sites and installations located thousands of miles away, reading the minds of their country’s enemies, intervening and altering thought processes, and even killing through psychic attack. The first step was the development of remote viewing. People displaying psychic sensitivity were sought out all over the USSR and trained under the strictest secrecy as spies with a difference.

  • Anomalous Human Cognition: a Possible Role Within the Crucible of Intelligence Collection
    ABSTRACT TITLE OF THESIS: Anomalous Human Cognition: A Possible Role within the Crucible of Intelligence Collection STUDENT: Douglas A. Morris, MSSI, 2010 CLASS NUMBER: NDIC 2010 DATE: JULY 2010 THESIS COMMITTEE CHAIR: LTC Terry M. Stahl (U.S. Army – Ret) COMMITTEE MEMBER: Dr. Rebecca L. Frerichs Nearly 15 years have passed since the Central Intelligence Agency’s 1995 public cancellation of the U.S. Remote Viewing (RV) project known as Star Gate. In the interim, significant changes have taken place that present a number of daunting challenges to the U.S. Intelligence Community’s ability to not only accurately discern a target’s capabilities and intentions, but also to defend itself from foreign intelligence operations. Concomitantly, scientific experimentation and theory have appeared to erode – for lack of a better term – a number of the positions taken by Scientific Materialism in its refutation of anomalous human cognition as an existing phenomenon. This thesis seeks to ascertain whether considered reexamination of RV as a useful intelligence collection method is warranted following the disparate developments of the past 15 years.

It was a terrifying "final solution" that violated the Geneva Conventions. The Phoenix Program's civilian targets of assassination were VC tax collectors, supply officers, political cadre, local military officials, and suspected sympathizers. Faulty intelligence often led to the murder of innocent civilians, rival Vietnamese would report their enemies as "VC" in order for US troops to kill them. In 1971, William Colby, head of CIA in Vietnam, testified the number killed was 20,857.

FALSE FLAG 2 “Only puny secrets need protection. Big secrets are protected by public incredulity.” Marshall McLuhan INTRODUCTION When a good friend contacted me three or four years after 9/11 to tell me the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon were an inside job, aided and abetted by elements within our own government, I was furious. “I’ve never known Sharon to read a newspaper in her life,” I fumed to my wife when she asked why I was so angry. “And she expects me to believe her hare-brained story about 9/11?” Joy had never met Sharon but had heard enough of my L.A. stories to know who she is. Both of us are expats now, Sharon in Portland and me back in my hometown in the Midwest. We’d kept in touch fairly regularly, but this conviction of hers about 9/11 made me wonder how well I knew her after all. “I’ll send you a video,” she said. “Just watch it with an open mind, okay?” It arrived a few days later: a documentary of poor production quality and implausible conjectures appropriately titled Loose Change.

Find out what’s really happening in your world… Why Microwave Auditory Effect Crowd-Control Gun Won't Work By Monica Heger First Published July 2008 Experts say you'd fry before you heard anything PHOTO: FRANCO VOGT/CORBIS 22 July 2008—New Scientist magazine recently reported that Sierra Nevada Corp., based in Sparks, Nevada, plans to build what it calls a nonlethal microwave ray gun with the ability to beam irritating sounds into people’s heads. But experts in the underlying biophysics say it cannot work: the device would kill you well before you were bothered by the noise. The gun, which is being built by Lev Sadovnik at Sierra Nevada, would take advantage of a phenomenon known as the microwave auditory effect. When microwaves are delivered in short pulses, the cochlear tissue in the ear expands. That expansion is heard as an audible click to anyone receiving the radiation, a sound much like that of two rocks being hit together underwater. The company says that the device, called MEDUSA (for “mob excess deterrent using silent audio”), could be used for crowd control. However, experts say the gun wouldn’t work as advertised. There is no way the ray gun could deliver sound loud enough to be annoying at nonfatal power levels, says Kenneth Foster, a bioengineering professor at the University of Pennsylvania who first published research on the microwave auditory effect in 1974. “Any kind of exposure you could give to someone that wouldn’t burn them to a crisp would produce a sound too weak to have any effect,” Foster says.

Events Please do not remove this message until thedispute is resolved. Remote viewing Stargate Project Remote viewing (RV) is a broad term for a variety of techniques or protocols People employed to produce and control extra-sensory perception (ESP). The term was coined in the early 1970s by principal researchers at SRI International, Ingo Swann Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff, mainly to distinguish the protocols they Hal Puthoff were investigating from older ESP protocols.[1] (Targ & Puthoff 1977, Pat Price Puthoff 1996, Schnabel 1997). There is no scientific proof for RV or ESP. Russell Targ Joseph McMoneagle In RV, a viewer attempts to gather information via ESP on a remote target. Paul H. Smith The target is usually an object, a place, or a person, and many remote Ed May viewers believe that the target may be situated anywhere in space or time. Mel Riley The viewer often has no prior knowledge of the target's identity. Adherents Dale Graff believe that data generated by the remote viewer is best combined with data Lyn Buchanan provided by other viewers and evaluated by a separate analyst.

    COURT OF APPEALS OF VIRGINIA Present: Chief Judge Moon, Judges Benton, Coleman, Willis, Elder, Bray, Fitzpatrick, Annunziata and Overton Argued at Richmond, Virginia ALBERT N. STUBBLEBINE, III OPINION BY v. Record No. 1915-94-4 JUDGE SAM W. COLEMAN III JULY 23, 1996 GERALDINE M. STUBBLEBINE UPON A REHEARING EN BANC FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF FAIRFAX COUNTY J. Howe Brown, Jr., Judge Lawrence D. Diehl for appellant. James A. Watson II (Surovell, Jackson, Colten & Dugan, P.C., on brief), for appellee. In this domestic relations appeal, we decide whether the trial court erred in awarding spousal support by imputing income to the appellant, Albert Stubblebine, a sixty-four year old retiree, based upon his ability to earn income in addition to his retirement benefits. We hold that considering Mr. Stubblebine's capability for obtaining gainful employment as evidenced by his recent employment, the trial court did not err by imputing income to him. Accordingly, in view of his former wife's financial needs the trial court did not abuse its discretion in basing its support award upon the imputed income or in ordering that Albert Stubblebine pay his former spouse's health insurance premiums. The parties were married in 1952 after Albert Stubblebine graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point. They separated July 4, 1991, when Mr. Stubblebine left the marital home. The final divorce decree entered September 19, 1994, granted Geraldine Stubblebine a final divorce on the ground of adultery. Albert Stubblebine, a career army officer, attained the rank of major general. During his army career, he earned a master's degree in chemical engineering.
