Chapter 5 - A Short Encyclopaedia of Modern Visionaries

Editor: We found this monumental document drifting through the web like the Marie Celeste. It is out-of-date, some of the links may be broken, and indeed many of the people here are sadly no longer with us. However, a few such as Jack Sarfatti, Hal Puthoff, and Ingo Swann are still firing on 100 cylinders.

This collection stands as a unique research archive. The work of many of the personalities here threads through over 50 years, and each one --living or dead -- made a significant contribution to futuristic human visions. We’d like to credit this wonderful collection, but we do not have a name. Should anyone lay claim to it, let us know and we will credit author and source. We heartily congratulate those who put this together. And the World thanks them yet again.

Joe K. Adams

The first psychologist to lead a seminar at the Esalen Institute. Friends with Gregory Bateson. Former chairman of the psychology department at Bryn Mawr. Spent a year researching parapsychology at Stanford University.

After leaving Stanford, he became a clinical psychologist and worked at the Veterans Administration hospital studying the causes of schizophrenia. He also worked with LSD at the Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto under grants from the National Institute of Mental Health. This was during the time that NIHM was channeling funds for the CIA's MK-ULTRA LSD experiments. So it is safe to say that Adams was working -- directly or indirectly -- for the CIA, although I don't know if he was aware of it (most researchers weren't).

Adams himself took LSD as part of these studies and suffered 2 psychotic episodes, the second of which earned him a stay in a mental hospital.

(Anderson, Walter Truett, The Upstart Spring, Addison-Wesley Publishing, 1983, pg 59-62)

Steve Aftergood

Steven Aftergood is a senior research analyst at the Federation of American Scientists. He directs the FAS Project on Government Secrecy which works to reduce the scope of government secrecy, to accelerate the declassification of cold war documents, and to promote reform of official secrecy practices. In 1997, Mr. Aftergood was the plaintiff in a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the Central Intelligence Agency which successfully led to the declassification and publication of the total intelligence budget ($26.6 billion in 1997) for the first time in 50 years.

Mr. Aftergood is an electrical engineer by training (B.Sc., 1977) and has published research in solid- state physics. He joined the FAS staff in 1989.

He has authored or co-authored papers in Scientific American, New Scientist, Journal of Geophysical Research, Journal of the Electrochemical Society, and Issues in Science and Technology on topics including space nuclear power, atmospheric effects of launch vehicles, and government information policy. From 1992-1998, he served on the Aeronautics and Space Engineering Board of the National Research Council.

The Federation of American Scientists -- founded in 1945 by Manhattan Project scientists -- is a non-profit national organization of scientists and engineers concerned with issues of science and national security policy.

"Last year, Alexander organized a national conference devoted to researching 'reports of ritual abuse, Near-Death Experiences, human contacts with extraterrestrial aliens and other so-called anomalous experiences,' the Albuquerque Journal reported in March 1993. The Australian magazine Nexus reported last year that in 1971, Alexander 'was diving in the Bimini Islands looking for the lost continent of Atlantis. He was an official representative for the Silva mind-control organization and a lecturer on precataclysmic civilizations ... [and] he helped perform ESP experiments with dolphins.'"(Aftergood, Steven, "The Soft-Kill Fallacy", Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, 9-10/1994, v50, n5, p40)

"In The Warrior's Edge: Front-line Strategies for Victory on the Corporate Battlefield -- a 1990 book he co-authored with Maj. Richard Groller and Janet Morris -- Alexander describes himself as having 'evolved from hard-core mercenary to thanatologist.'

'As a Special Forces A-Team commander in Thailand and Vietnam, he led hundreds of mercenaries into battle,' the book explains. 'At the same time, he studied meditation in Buddhist monasteries and later engaged in technical exploration and demonstration of advanced human performance.' (Aftergood, 1994)

He currently holds the post of Director of Non-lethal Programs in the Los Alamos National Laboratories."

"In 1971 while a Captain in the infantry at Schofield Barracks, Honolulu, he was diving in the Bemini Islands looking for the lost continent of Atlantis. He was an official representative for the Silva mind-control organization and a lecturer on Precataclysmic Civilisations. Alexander is also a past President and a Board member of the International Association for Near-Death Studies. With his former wife, Jan Northup, he helped Dr. C.B. Scott Jones perform ESP experiments with dolphins."

Author of: ● "The New Mental Battlefield: Beam Me Up Spock", Military Review, 12/80 ● The Warrior's Edge ● Review of Psychic Warrior

Remote-Viewing, Science, and You Abstract: There is a paradox. Science (in general) does not believe in remote-viewing. Many people do believe in remote-viewing. People who study remote-viewing want to talk with scientists. They often do not want to talk with the general public. Scientists do not want to talk with those who study remote-viewing. The general public does want to hear about remote-viewing. What's wrong with this picture???

And then there is the Fourth Estate. Where does the media get their information? Are there really two sides to every story? Who are the Scientists? The Nuts? The Skeptics? And how did they get to be proclaimed as such? Ergofusion explains a lot of these problems.

Col. Alexander is the author of recently published Future War: Non-lethal Weapons in Twenty-first- century Warfare, and of The Warrior’s Edge. In 1980, his seminal article "The New Mental Battlefield" -- describing how psychic warfare might be employed on the battlefield -- was published in Military Review. As a staff officer in the early 1980s working directly under Gen. Burt Stubblebine, Commanding General for the US Army Intelligence and Security Command, Col. Alexander was prominent in INSCOM’s programs for exploring human potentials.

After his military retirement, he worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory where he developed the concept of Non-Lethal Defense which he briefed to senior defense, industry, and academic officials. Politically, his work involved meetings with Members of Congress, White House and National Security Council staff, and the Director of Central Intelligence. He has considerable experience working with classified programs dealing with many esoteric arenas. He currently is the science director for a private research organization in Las Vegas, NV. Col Alexander is a director on the board of the International Remote-Viewing Association.

Fredrick "Skip" Atwater

Born Frederick Holmes Atwater. Lt. Atwater was the first operations officer of the Ft. Meade operational remote-viewing unit.

He came to Ft. Meade in 1977 while still in his late 20s. While with the Systems Exploitation Detachment (SED) which was under control of the office of the assistant chief of staff for intelligence (ACSI), he suggested to the head of the SED (Col. Robert Keenan) that the Army develop a small, experimental group of psychics. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 11-3) 5

After retiring from the Army in 1987, Atwater became the director of research for the Monroe Institute. (Schnabel, 1997, pg 336)

Author of The Monroe Institute's Hemi-Sync® Process: A Theoretical Perspective

Hemi-Sync® and Remote Viewing

Hemi-Sync is a patented auditory guidance system developed by The Monroe Institute to engender states of focused consciousness. We contracted privately with Robert Monroe to work with Joe McMoneagle -- an experienced, highly skilled remote-viewer for the military 'Star Gate' program. The training sessions continued for 10 non-consecutive weeks over a period of 1 year.

Each training week, I conducted an audit remote-viewing session to try to determine any improvement in Joe's remote-viewing performance. During one of these, I decided to use coordinates of some unusual structures on the planet Mars that Dr. Puthoff from SRI had provided me. As it turned out, Joe described eight different coordinate-designated locations on Mars.

This presentation will describe the Hemi-Sync process; the associated remote-viewing training used with Joe McMoneagle; and illustrate the results of this specialized training by sharing actual recordings of Joe's historic remote viewing of Mars.

From 1978 to 1988, Skip Atwater was the Operations and Training Officer for the once highly- classified U.S. Army Intelligence remote-viewing surveillance program and played an important role in the program’s founding. Working closely with the personnel in the SRI International remote-viewing research program, he trained professional intelligence personnel to remote view, then used these highly skilled psychic spies to conduct thousands of remote-viewing intelligence collection missions for a variety of U.S. intelligence agencies. For 10 years, Skip worked directly with the cadre of remote- viewers, helping to hone their skills.

Since his military retirement in 1988, Skip has been the Research Director at The Monroe Institute -- a world-renowned nonprofit organization conducting research and offering educational programs supporting the evolution of consciousness. He has published technical research on methods for expanding consciousness, and assisted hundreds of individuals in experiencing and exploring altered states of consciousness. He is a director on the board of the International Remote Viewing Association.

Cleve Backster

6

Cleve Backster is a polygraph specialist who helped develop interrogation techniques for the CIA. As of 1986, he ran a polygraph instruction school and the Backster Research Foundaion in San Diego.

In February, 1966, Backster recorded what he believes to be emotional reactions in plants with a polygraph machine. Called the "Backster Effect", the validity of this phenomena is still debated.

On 2/10/86, Cleve Backster's lab was visited by National Research Council's Committee on Techniques for the Enhancement of Human Performance. The NRC was evaluating enhancement and parapsychological studies conducted for the Army, so it is likely that Backster's research was involved with the Government. (National Research Council, Enhancing Human Performance, National Academy of Sciences, 1988, pg 193-8)

In early 1972, psychic Ingo Swann heard of Hal Puthoff's research proposal through Cleve Backster.

According to Swann, Backster maintained his intelligence connections, and Backster reported that the CIA was interested in his experiments.

Some of Backster's experiments are documented in "PRIMARY PERCEPTION: Cleve Backster's astounding mind/plant communication discovery!", Australian Lateral Thinking Newsletter,1996.

Gregory Bateson

Anthropologist, once married to Margaret Mead. 1904-1980.

Bateson was one of many LSD researchers which held the first Human Potential workshop at the Esalen Institute and moved there in the late '70s. Was friends with Joe K. Adams.

"At Stanford [University], the anthropologist Gregory Bateson -- who had been introduced to LSD by Dr. Harold Abramson, one of LSD's pioneers -- arranged in 1959 for the poet Allen Ginsberg to take it as part of a research program that was secretly sponsored by the military." (Stafford, Peter, Psychedelics Encyclopedia, Third Expanded Edition, Ronin Publishing, 1992, pg 44)

In 1943, Bateson was employed by the Office of Strategic Services as a "psychological planner" in Southeast Asia. (Lipset, David, Gregory Bateson: The Legacy of a Scientist, Prentice Hall, 1980, pg 174)

In 1963, Bateson was hired as the associate director of research for John Lilly's Communication Research Institute which studied dolphins in the Virgin Islands. (Lipset, pg 241)

Lt. Col. Thomas E. Bearden

U.S. Army, Retired. Former Pentagon analyst Website: http://www.cheniere.org/toc.htm

"He is President and CEO of CTEC, Inc., a private R&D corporation engaged in research on free energy devices and the mechanisms for interaction of EM fields and radiation with biological systems. He is president of the Association of Distinguished American Scientists (ADAS), a life member of the Alabama Academy of Science, and served on the Board of Directors of the U.S. Psychotronics Association and the American Association of Metascience. He edited and published Specula, Journal of the AAMS for 4 years. He also served on the Board of Directors of Astron, Inc. -- a private aerospace R&D corporation in the greater Washington D.C. area noted for its specialized RF antennas... He and his wife Doris live in Huntsville, Alabama where Tom is retired from aerospace, continues private research, and serves as a special consultant to industry on scalar electromagnetics processes" (Virtual Times introduction)

"Lt. Col. Thomas E. Bearden is a nuclear engineer, war games and weapons analyst, and military tactician. He has an MS in nuclear engineering from Georgia Tech and is a graduate of the US Army Command and General Staff College and several U.S. Army artillery and guided missile schools. He has over 30 years experience in air defense systems, technical intelligence, Soviet electromagnetic weaponry, artificial intelligence, computerized war games, and antiradiation missile countermeasures. He is a senior scientist with a large aerospace company [Colsa Corp.] Col. Bearden personally developed and published the basis for a drastic revision of electromagnetic theory and engineering, based on the work of Whittaker and Maxwell. His work is primarily responsible for the widespread interest and research into scalar electromagnetic phenomena in this Country over the past decade." (Megabrain report, 2/4/91)

Member: U.S. Psychotonics Association. Claims that Soviet psychic experiments have caused Legionnaire's disease, cattle mutilations, UFO abductions, and the sinking of the U.S. submarine Thresher. Claims that these experiments have aroused mankind's collective unconsciousness called ZARG.

Many of his theories were published before retirement and are available through the Defense Documentation Center.

His views are supported by John Alexander.

After retirement, Bearden was contracted by the Pentagon to study the "photonic barrier modulator", "hyperspatial nuclear howitzer", and the connection between ESP and UFOs. [Note: McRae has since 8 admitted to fabricating this last point, but much of the rest is verifiable elsewhere.] (McRae, Ronald, Mind Wars, St. Martin's Press, 1984, pp 126-9)

Friend of Ira Einhorn and part of his "psychic mafia". Presented a paper at the "Mind Over Matter" conference at Penn State University, late January, 1977, organized by Einhorn. Other attendees included Christopher Bird and Andrija Puharich. (Levy, Steven, The Unicorn's Secret, Prentice Hall Press, 1989, pg 189)

Bearden's later works have leaned away from psychotronics and towards free energy and the health effects of electromagnetic energy.

It is hard to determine what politics Bearden believes in, but he seems to believe in a conspiracy to suppress technological advances. "Personally, however, I believe that the accelerated time schedule for the "New World Order"-- now set for the year 2000 -- is as a result of the imminent advent of (1) superluminal communication (we at CTEC are going to file a patent on that as well), and (2) over-unity electrical energy systems. There has to be almost a police state existing in the World if this "new electromagnetics" is to be forcibly put back under control and buried. It appears now that such a police state is imminent both here in the U.S. and worldwide. Let us hope that the conspirators fail, and that common sense somehow resurrects and stops that nonsense." (10/30/95 letter)

Robert Bigelow

9 Las Vegas real estate mogul and philantropist. Through his organization the Bigelow Foundation, he has funded many studies of UFOs, psychic ability, and related issues. He is closely associated in this pursuit with John Alexander. Some of the ufologists he has funded include Budd Hopkins, Bob Lazar, and Linda Moulton Howe.

"Training programs -- begun in 1992 with the leadership and support of Las Vegas businessman Robert Bigelow and organized in various American cities by abduction investigators John Carpenter, Budd Hopkins, and David Jacobs -- are familiarizing many mental health professionals with the abduction phenomena." (Mack, John, Abduction, Ballantine Books, 1994, pg 13)

He funded Lazar through the Zeta Reticuli Corporation, which reportedly dissolved before any projects were started.

He previously funded the work of Dean Radin at the Consciousness Research Division, University of Nevada.

His latest project is the National Institute of Discovery Science. (What's New at Area 51 and Ufomind: 9/96 Part I) (What's New at Area 51 and Ufomind: 9/96 Part II)

At one point, Bigelow offered to provide funding to the tune of a million dollars for a cooperative research effort of the "big three" of ufology - MUFON (Mutual UFO Network), CUFOS (Center for UFO Studies), and FUFOR (Fund for UFO Research). This effort -- sometimes referred to as "the Coalition" -- fell apart reportedly when Bigelow tried to control the direction of the group. UFO skeptic Philip Klass reportedly accused John Alexander of causing the break-up, although Alexander denies it.

In April 1997, Bigelow donated $3.7 million dollars to the University of Nevada to found the Bigelow Chair of Consciousness Studies, which allows students to take undergraduate courses dealing with parapsychology for college credit. These courses are related (though not formally linked) to Dean Radin's research at the University's Consciousness Research Laboratory, which Bigelow once funded.

(Patton, Natalie, "Mind Frontiers, Las Vegas Review-Journal, 4/15/97)

Courtney Brown

Author of Cosmic Voyage, Dutton, 1996.

Farsite Org Courtney Brown, Ph.D., founded The Farsight Institute in 1995 Personal Website

Brown was trained in remote-viewing by Ed Dames and took courses at the Monroe Institute.

11 Brown's book details his psychic conversations with aliens, and repeats allegations similar to those made by Dames, Ingo Swann, Joe McMoneagle, and others. Among them:

● Martians live among us and seek our help to return home. They live in South America and under the mountain Santa Fe Baldy.

● Brown psychically contacted Jesus, Guru Dev, and Buddha.

● The idea for the 'Star Trek' TV series was inspired by aliens to get humanity accustomed to the idea of working with alien races in a Federation.

● Specific plot elements of the 'Star Trek: Next Generation' series were suggested to someone on the show via an implanted telepathy device.

Many of Dames' claims concerning the Martians are presented here. But Brown implies that this is the first time any of this has been revealed to the remote viewers, even though the sessions took place in 1994 and Dames made similar claims as early as 1993 (see Stark, Debby, "Talking to Ed Dames", NM MUFON News, June/July 1993)

Brown founded the Farsight Institute in 1995. The Institute teaches a Scientific Remote-Viewing course called "Farsight Voyager", which costs around $3,000. Here's the Institute's home page.

"Unfortunately, I [Ed Dames] was Courtney's trainer. But I had to have my name expunged from the book because Prof. Brown went beyond the pale of our tried-and-tested techniques into the world of channeling."

However, Brown claims that his trainer (Dames) personally monitored and directed his viewing sessions, included those that were involved with "channeling". (AOL Online Chat with Major Ed Dames - February 1996)

Lyn Buchanan

Remote-Viewer formerly with the INSCOM/DIA program at Fort Meade and afterwards, from 1984-92.

Currently runs a computer/psychic consulting firm: PSI (Problems-Solutions-innovations), 1005 Bosse Drive, Mechanicsville, MD 20659. (301)884-5856 [email protected] 12

Controlled Remote-Viewing Homepage is run by Buchanan and is full of information.

Involved with TREAT (Treatment and Research of Experienced Anomalous Trauma), a series of UFO abduction related workshops. (Porter, Tom, Government Research into ESP & Mind Control, March, 1996)

Buchanan is a native of Texas and has had paranormal experiences since the age of 12. He joined the U.S. Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) as a linguist.

After a psi-related mishap dealing with computers in Ausburg, Germany (probably when he mentally fried a computer), he was transferred by INSCOM head Gen. Albert Stubblebine to Washington for service as a remote-viewer. [According to a representative from PSI TECH, Buchanan was brought on as the database manager and not as a remote-viewer]. He retired in 1992. (Who is Lyn Buchanan? from Buchanan's web site).

Buchanan was recruited to the Ft. Meade remote-viewing unit a few months after the computer crashing incident (which occurred in early 1984). (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 267- 70)

According to Ed Dames, Buchanan was the lowest ranking member of the team. His primary job title was Data Base Manager, and his secondary duties included servicing the units vehicles.

"Upon my permanent transfer to the unit, Buchanan constantly whined to me about how he had been promised remote-viewing training by the previous commander. I felt sorry for Lyn that he failed my training. He lacked the discipline to attend to the rigorous protocols (remote-viewing structure) required to successfully prosecute an intelligence collection mission. He was not capable of leaving his ego behind during a training session."

"Lyn was not integrated into operations until long after most of the unit's military officers had departed, only to be replaced by DIA with tarot card readers and the like. Lyn stayed on with them." (Dames, Ed, "Will the Real Lyn Buchanan Please Sit Down")

After Buchanan retired in 1992, he went to work for Albert Stubblebine, holding remote-viewing workshops at New Age and UFO conferences. After a falling out, Buchanan founded PSI. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 381)

In 1994, Buchanan started the Assigned Witness Program which offers its services to law enforcement agencies. Involved in the program are Mel Riley and David Morehouse as well as graduates from Buchanan's training program. (Heinberg, Richard, "Memoirs of a Psychic Spy", Intuition Magazine, #13, 10/96, pg 22)

Interview on the Art Bell Show 03-25-97

Eldon Byrd

Education: BS in Electrical Engineering, MS in Medical Engineering Was/is a Morman.

13 Published a paper on the telemetry of brain waves in the "Proceedings" of the International Telemetering Conference, 1972. Physical Scientist at the Naval Surface Weapons Center, White Oaks Laboratory, Silver Springs, Maryland (1968- unknown, at least 1981)

In October, 1973, Byrd did experiments with Uri Geller. Geller allegedly permanently bent a piece of nitinol metal -- a feat impossible without applying great heat. (Byrd, Eldon, "Uri Geller's Influence on the Metal Alloy Nitinol" in The Geller Papers, Panati, Charles, ed., Houghton Mifflin Co., 1976, pg 67-73) (see Chpt 15, Gardner, Martin, Science: Good, Bad, and Bogus, Prometheus Books, 1981 for a critical review of this experiment.)

"..I do not believe I am hypnotizable. I also used to be an amateur magician and have studied techniques of magic and sleight-of-hand". (Byrd, pg 73)

Byrd describes his work with Naval Surface Weapons as "predicting what war will be like in the future." (McRae, Ronald, Mind Wars, St. Martin's Press, 1984, p 80)

"Eldon Byrd who worked for Naval Surface Weapons, Office of Non-Lethal Weapons, was commissioned in 1981 to develop electromagnetic devices for purposes including 'riot control', clandestine operations, and hostage removal."

"Byrd also wrote of experiments where behavior of animals was controlled by exposure to weak electromagnetic fields. 'At a certain frequency and power intensity, they could make the animal purr, lay down, and roll over.'" (Keeler, Anna, "Remote Mind Control Technology")

Former operations analyst with the Advanced Planning and Analysis Stoff of the Naval Ordinance Laboratory in Silver Springs. Member of Mensa and the American Society for Cybernetics. While with the Navy, he supposedly confirmed the Backster effect which deals with the alleged psychic ability of plants. (Tompkins, Peter and Bird, Christopher, The Secret Life of Plants, Harper and Row, 1973, pg 40-2)

Byrd sued skeptic debunker James Randi for $30 million for defamation. Randi had called Byrd a convicted child molestor [in the June 1988 issue of Rod Serling's Twilight Zone Mystery Magazine], when in fact he had been arrested for possession with intention to distribute obscene materials involving children and plead guilty to a lower charge of possession with intention to distribute obscene materials. Byrd "won" but received no money. During the trial, he supposedly admitted to having sexual relations with a minor to whom he was a legal guardian. (Skeptic, vol 3, #3, pg 34; also here for press releases and a commentary by Marcello Truzzi)

"Byrd told me [Dick Farley] about it [lawsuit w/ Randi] over dinner at C. B. "Scott" Jones home one evening of several we spent together back in '92 and '93 there."

"Byrd said that Uri Geller put up $10,000 for his legal costs. Byrd and Geller are good friends from back in the '70s..."

"Byrd says he had been "set-up" by postal inspectors -- part of some initiative to discredit him because he was too public with his personal interests in "psi," etc. He'd allegedly had some Navy security clearance issues dog him, which contributed to his early retirement as one of their senior most civilian scientists."

14 "When he was still with the Navy, Dr. Byrd was the contract manager for some of the research Michael Persinger did on 'neuro-impacts' of various EMFs and ELFs. Something about wave- propagation and influences on submariners if somebody "beeped" them with mind-influencing EMF signals, etc. -- that kind of thing." (Farley, Dick, "False Memory Spindrome")

"I told an audience at the annual meeting of the American Physical Society about the hilarious claims that Eldon Byrd made in court concerning important projects that he'd been working on as a parapsychologist. One was a wristwatch that would protect the lucky wearer against the deadly effects of hair dryers, and electric razors that bombard the brain with those 60-Hertz electrical waves. The watch would sense the phase of the offending waves and generate an opposing field to protect the subject.... But by far the best laugh of the trial was generated by Byrd when he proudly announced that as a result of reading and believing the book The Secret Life of Plants, he had a project going to train seaweed so that it could warn naval divers of danger." (Randi Hotline, 3/27/95)

Byrd is currently working with dolphins, presumably continuing the work he left with Naval Surface Weapons (does anyone have any details of his departure - date, reason, etc.?)

He is the chief scientist of the "Hello, Dolphin" Project at World Dolphin Research. This project deals with the emissions and reception of ELF and other electromagnetic radiation between humans and dolphins, which has relevance with the overlap between psychic phenomena and mind-control.

He presented the paper "Dolphin Project Report and More" at the 1996 Annual Conference of the U.S. Psychotronic Association.

Ed Dames

Worked with the INSCOM/DIA remote-viewing program at Fort Meade. Founded PSI-TECH in 1989. [email protected]

Dames joined the Army in 1967 as a paratrooper. A year later, he was transferred to the Army Security Agency, assigned to support the National Security Agency in the Far East. In 1974, he enrolled at the University of California, Berkeley, double-majoring in Bioelectronics and Chinese. In 1978, he graduated from UC's ROTC program and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in Military Intelligence.

"He was recruited by a scientific and technical military intelligence 'black unit', ultimately to direct clandestine operations against high-value foreign targets. He remained in deep cover, traveling worldwide under assumed identities."

15 "For his work, Mr. Dames was awarded 2 Army Meritorious Service Medals and the Legion of Merit. Additionally, he was personally credited by the Defense Intelligence Agency with penetrating the Soviet Defense Counciltin -- that agency's words, 'a singularly profound act.'"

"Major Dames retired from the U.S. Army, taking the original team's best and brightest with him to form his Beverly Hills, California based company PSI TECH."

"Ed's personal interests include human potential, natural history, martial arts, and physical fitness. He is fluent in Chinese Mandarin."

("Major Edward Dames - Background Information") "Major Dames had been both an electronic warfare officer and scientific and technical intelligence officer from 1981-83." During this time, Dames claims to have been trained (along with 5 others) by Ingo Swann in 1983. After completion of this training, Dames claims to be the operations and training officer for the Army's (INSCOM) and DIA's remote-viewing program starting around late 1983 under CENTER LANE. "Dames took a 'let's see what this baby can do' approach, replacing the unit's former intelligence collection methodology with the breakthrough technique." ("Ed Dames Sets the Record Straight")

After leaving the remote-viewing unit in late summer 1988, Dames worked for an INSCOM "strategic deceptions" and anti-narc squad called 'Team Six'. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 376)

According to remote viewer Joe McMoneagle, Dames has exaggerated about his involvement with the government program.

● "There were (7) commanders of the unit from 1977-1995. None of them were named Dames." ● "Dames was a 'monitor/interviewer' of remote-viewers -- not a remote-viewer." [Dames has viewed himself since leaving the military - Doc Hambone] ● Dames entered the program after 1984 and left in 1987. [By most reports, Dames left in the summer of 1988 - Doc] ● "Dames had no connection with the research portion of the project at any time and knows nothing about it."

I should note that I have never seen Dames claim to be either a commander of the unit nor a remote- viewer himself prior to leaving the military. (McMoneagle, Joe, "A Response to Ed Dame's Statement on CRV")

Dames reponds to these charges in "Will the Real Lyn Buchanan Please Sit Down". He also claims that "only the operations officer (i.e., me) and the commander had the complete picture" while the viewers were only given information on a "need-to-know" basis.

In an interview with Debby Stark, Dames describes something called the "Big Event" which was reportedly supposed to happen back in August, 1993. Dames is also reported to have said that he would leave the UFO business if he was wrong.

From what I can tell, Dames believes that aliens run things on this planet, and the "Big Event" is when they start to make their presence known.

150 million years ago, Martians living on Mars experienced a cataclysm and lived in pyramid/hibernation chambers until the food began to run out. Rescue ships came from the Federation

16 and evacuated the planet. Some moved to Earth while others stayed on Mars encased in a life- perserving goop, horribly mutated after 150 million years. Martians on Earth are unable to reproduce due to the high gravity. But with the help of the Federation, they plan to create hybrids with humans to rescue their ancestors still on Mars.

According to Dames, the Taos hum is the result of alien electromagnetic devices that time-travelers use as a beacon (time-traveling UFOs are mining potassium and look like green fireballs). Also, he claims that the UFOs at Area-51 are man-made. (Stark, Debby, "Talking to Ed Dames", NM MUFON News, June/July 1993)

"'I have been involved in a lot of very, very deep, dark black projects.' 'I have never been assigned to a unit that has suffered more ostracism, been looked upon with more fear.' In the late '70s, he admits, the unit was 'associated with the occult. It gave the unit a bad name.'" (Constantine, Alex, "Ed Dames & His Cover Stories for Mind Control Experimentation")

"Unfortunately, I was Courtney [Brown]'s trainer. But I had to have my name expunged from the book [Cosmic Voyages] because Prof. Brown went beyond the pale of our tried-and-tested techniques into the world of channeling." ("AOL Online Chat with Major Ed Dames - February 1996) Ed Dames in a Psi-Tech online chat, 1997

In the documentary "Psi-Files: The Real X-Files" written and narrated by Jim Schnabel, Dames claims to have been Ingo Swann's protege and Swann his mentor.

There is some contention over when Dames was involved with the program. Dames claims that he was previously involved as a "customer" for the viewing data, officially joined in 1983, and left in 1989. Joe McMoneagle places him with the unit from after 1984 until 1987. Jim Schnabel reports in Remote- Viewers that Dames joined Ingo Swann's training program in 1983 and left the unit in late summer, 1988.

ED DAMES CHALLENGES GOVERNMENT ON REMOTE VIEWING

[CNI News thanks Density4 for sending the following statement from Ed Dames. Though not repeated here, previous public statements of Mr. Dames have included allegations that he and his associates at PsiTech Corporation (a company offering remote-viewing services to private clients) have successfully employed remote-viewing to determine the location and activities of aliens on the Earth.]

In May, 1996, Dames predicted several environmental disasters that he and PSI TECH remote- viewed. These include heavy winds, a form of bovine AIDS transmitted to children. (Ed Dames interview on the Art Bell Show, 5/31/96)

Referring to the failure of psychotronics on the Art Bell Show, Dames said: "What can be done however, is by pure use of electronics, you can affect the human nervous system. You can do certain things with the human brain waves and, uh … if you'd like me to get into that kind of technology, I can. I can talk about that."

Art Bell: "Alright. Well when you say 'affect brain waves,' do you mean general patterns of thinking or you can induce a specific idea into a brain that would not otherwise think of it itself?"

Ed Dames - "Hypothetically, both."

Dames places the date of the extreme wind changes at 4½-to-6 years (2001 to mid-2002) 17

Dames claims to be a member of the UFO Working Group described in Harold Blum's book Out There. According to Dames, the cover title of the group was "the Advanced Theoretical Physics Working Group".

According to Dames, many of the UFO sightings -- including those at Area-51 -- are advanced man- made aircraft.

(Ed Dames interview on the Art Bell Show, 6/14/96) (Ed Dames interview on the Art Bell Show, 1/30/97)

Ira Einhorn

Philadelphia-based hippie/New Age guru. Was arrested 3/28/79 for murdering his girlfriend Holly Maddux, who was found stuffed in a trunk on Einhorn's porch. He was defended in court by Arlen "Single Bullet" Specter. (Levy, Steven, The Unicorn's Secret, Prentice Hall Press, 1989, pg 20)

Einhorn jumped bail and fled to England, 1/13/81, then to Ireland. He left Ireland in 1986 and as of 1/96, his whereabouts were unknown. here for info from "Unsolved Mysteries".

The FBI announced on 6/16/97 that Einhorn had been located in France living under the name of "Eugene Mallon", thanks to tips from "Unsolved Mysteries". Reportedly, he had been sentenced to life in absentia in 1993. As of this writing, extradition procedures are still in progress. Einhorn became interested in the paranormal around 1975 when he met Andrija Puharich, who became his mentor in this field (Levy, pg 128-30).

Using his connections with Puharich, he formed what he called the "psychic mafia" which was a collection of researchers bent on bringing psychic and paranormal phenomena into the mainstream. He organized "Mind Over Matter" conference at Penn State University in late January, 1977. Attendees included Christopher Bird, Andrija Puharich, and Thomas Bearden (Levy, pg 189).

Soon afterwards, Einhorn and the psychic mafia focused their attention on ELF mind-control (Levy, pg 190). He suggests that his murder charge could have been a set-up by the CIA or KGB for his interest in activities by America and Russia in the areas of psychic warfare, Tesla technology, and mind- control (Levy, pg 242). Puharich says that Einhorn's work wasn't important enough to elicit such a reaction (Levy, pg 308).

Einhorn led seminars at the Esalen Institute and was involved with the Physics/Consciousness Research Group. He reportedly worked with Congressman Charlie Rose (a large supporter of psychic studies) on classified projects.

18 Werner Erhard

Born Jack Rosenberg, Erhard is the founder of EST (Erhard Seminar Training) and the Forum.

Erhard is a former Scientologist and brought many of their tenants and methods with him to EST. A shortcut to understanding EST is to imagine Scientology, except replace "science-fiction writer" with "encyclopedia salesman".

In the mid 1970s, Erhard financed Jack Sarfatti and the Physics/Consciousness Research Group, and was involved with Michael Murphy and the Esalen Institute. According to Sarfatti, Erhard gave funds to the SRI remote-viewing project. (Sarfatti, Jack, "In the Thick of It")

John Mack was formerly on the board of advisors for EST. Erhard is thanked in the 'Acknowledgments' page of Mind Reach, the book by Harold Puthoff and Russell Targ describing the remote viewing research done at SRI.

Uri Geller

here for Geller's biography on his home page.

Geller was discovered by Andrijah Puharich, who brought him to the U.S. for scientific studies. Under hypnoisis by Puharich, Geller claimed that he received his powers from "the Nine" (see Puharich's page for more details). Geller now seems to claim in the Geller Effect, that his testimony was the result of False Memory due to Puharich's suggestions and Geller's active imagination.

Geller was studied at SRI by Harold Puthoff and Russell Targ. While he was unable to bend metal without physical contact, Geller was allegedly successful in telepathy experiments involving copying drawings made by subjects. Geller also claims that he materialized a watch out of thin air at SRI, that it was filmed, but that this segment was never released to the public. (Geller, Uri and Playfair, Guy Lyon, The Geller Effect, Johnathan Cape, 1986, pg 39)

Sources that are positive towards these experiments include:

19 ● Targ, Russell and Puthoff, Harold E, "Information Transmission Under Conditions of Sensory Shielding", Nature, 10/18/74, v252, n5476, pp 602-607 ● Targ, Russell and Puthoff, Harold E, "The Record: Eight Days With Uri Geller", published in: Panati, Charles, ed., The Geller Papers, Houghton Mifflin Co., 1976 ● Targ, Russell and Puthoff, Harold E, "Experiments With Uri Geller", published in: Panati, Charles, ed., The Geller Papers, Houghton Mifflin Co., 1976 ● Targ, Russell and Puthoff, Harold E, Mind-Reach, Delacorte Press, 1977 ● Geller, Uri and Playfair, Guy Lyon, The Geller Effect, Johnathan Cape, 1986

Skeptics have problems with these experiments, including flaws in statistical analysis and improper controls. Ray Hyman personally reviewed Geller, and his unfavorably conclusions caused DARPA to drop its funding.

Unfavorable reviews are included in: ● Gardner, Martin, Science: Good, Bad, and Bogus, Prometheus Books, 981 ● Marks, David and Kammann, Richard, The Psychology of the Psychic, Prometheus Books, 1980 ● Randi, James, "Flim-Flam!", Prometheus Books, 1982

While living in Israel, Geller allegedly worked for the Mossad and Shin Bet.(Schnabel, Jim, Remote- Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 133)

The SRI studies with Uri Geller (beginning 10/72) were funded by the Institute of Noetic Sciences. Reportedly, the CIA wanted SRI to evaluate Geller to determine if he was genuine or -- if not -- how he cheats. Geller also claims to have briefed Israeli intelligence on the SRI studies. In the summer of 1973, a group of Israelis (supposedly military) showed up at SRI to ask if Geller was genuine (Schnabel, 1997, pg 134).

After doing some experiments with Geller at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, some of the scientists began seeing strange "visions". The scientists were evaluated by CIA scientist "Richard Kennett" (probable aka Christopher Green), who had been involved with Geller's work at SRI (Schnabel, 1997, 164-9).

October, 1973 - did experiments with Eldon Byrd of the Naval Surface Weapons lab. Geller allegedly permanently bent a piece of nitinol metal -- a feat impossible without applying great heat. (Byrd, Eldon, "Uri Geller's Influence on the Metal Alloy Nitinol" in The Geller Papers, Panati, Charles, ed., Houghton Mifflin Co., 1976, pg 67-73)

"Byrd said that Uri Geller put up $10,000 for his legal costs. Byrd and Geller are good friends from back in the '70s..." (Farley, Dick, "False Memory Spindrome")

Geller claims that while in Mexico, he worked on behalf of "Mike" who was part of an inner circle of CIA psi believers. On Mike's request, Geller supposedly implanted thoughts in President Jimmy Carter's mind to support research for psychic phenomena. (Geller, 1986, chptr 3)

Psychically fixed electronic equipment for Nazi/NASA scientist Wernher von Braun. (Geller, 1986, pg 110-1) (Note: hardly evidence for pro-Nazi sentiment on the part of Geller, who is an Israeli)

1987, performed for Sen. Clairborne Pell. (Gardner, Martin, "Clairborne Pell: The Senator From Outer Space", Skeptical Inquirer, March/April 1996)

Geller is currently available as a business consultant (price: 1 million pounds) at Uri Geller Business Consultancy. He was involved with the Physics/Consciousness Research Group.

Dale Graff

Around late 1976 to 1977, Graff -- then a physicist with the Air Force's Foreign Technology Division -- gave a small contract to the SRI research team. Graff wanted to replicate some Soviet psi experiments done in submarines, as well as test the Soviet hypothesis that psi was transmitted via ELF (extremely low frequency) electromagnetic waves. These test were conducted in July, 1977 with the help of Stephan Schwartz. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 206-7)

Graff was stationed at Wright Patterson-Air Force Base and had taught a class on parapsychology at a local community college. He had also started a small, informal group of remote viewers at the base (Schnabel, 1997, pg 217).

Graff had continued to task SRI on behalf of the Air Force for the next few years. In 1980, he won a fellowship for "exceptional analyst" within the intelligence community and planned to spend 2 years off to conduct research in other laboratories: SRI; a psychokenesis lab at Princeton; a J.B. Rhine affiliated lab in Durham, NC; and a Department-of-Energy lab where microwave weapons were being studied. His fellowship was revoked by the office of the Air Force Chief of Staff. With the encouragement of Jack Vorona, he retired from the Air Force and moved to the DIA where he ran the Advanced Concepts Office (Schnabel, 1997, pg 227-8, 334). Graff served briefly as the branch chief of the operational unit of Star Gate from around 1982 or 83 until he resigned in summer of 1993 (Schnabel, 1997, pg 381).

Graff is evidently now touring the New Age conference circuit in some capacity.

Dr. Christopher Green

Alleged member of the secret government UFO working group. Aviary, codename: Bluejay

21 (Victorian, Armen, "Non-Lethality: John B. Alexander, The Pentagon's Penguin", Lobster Magazine, 6/93)

Director of General Motor's Biomedical Research department. Attended closed meetings with Dr. Igor Smirnov under the auspices of his membership in the National Academy of Sciences panel on 21st Century Army Technologies (Defense Electronics, 7/93. Reprinted in Flatland #11).

Formerly with the CIA, Dr. Green's work involved UFO research. "Dr. Green attained a Ph.D. in Neurophysiology in 1969 and in1976 received his M.D. Doctor of Medicine degree. Green was awarded the CIA's National Intelligence Medal for his work on a 'classified project' from 1979 to1983 -- precisely the years in which Maccabee was meeting with him at CIA headquarters. Green uses somewhat of a cover story to describe his CIA work, calling himself a 'Scientific Advisor on the Advisory Board to the Directorate of Intelligence, CIA.'" (The Associated Investigators Group, "The Fund for CIA Research or Who's Disinforming Who?")

"After I [Bruce Maccabee] discussed the NZ case one employee, Dr. Christopher "Kit" Green (KG) invited me to visit the CIA again a week-or-so later to have a general UFO discussion with him and a couple of other employees..." (Bruce Maccabee's response to the AIR report)

Keith Harary

Keith Harary is a clinical counselor and experimental psychologist who specializes in psi research and in the psychology of cults, crisis intervention, and stress." Harary was a long-time subject in the SRI remote-viewing study, starting in late 1979/early 1980. (Targ, Russell and Harary, Keith, Mind Race, Villard Books, 1984, pg 7)

1979 - Director of Counseling at the Human Freedom Center (which was founded by former Peoples Temple members Jeannie and Al Mills. It was the Center which involved Congressman Leo Ryan in his investigation into Jim Jones' cult) (Targ and Harary, pg 113).

In 1982, Harary left SRI and founded Delphi Associates with Russell Targ. Delphi Associates was a consultancy which sought to apply psi to finding oil, gas, etc. Using Harary as a viewer, they claimed to have successfully traded in the silver market (Targ and Harary, pg 176).

Former researcher at the Maimondes Medical Center psi laboratory (Targ and Harary, pg 228).

Harary met Hal Puthoff in 1979, and in 1980 joined the research project at SRI. In his early 20s at the time, Harary was the youngest remote-viewer with the project. There was reportedly some tension between Harary and Ingo Swann because Harary rejected Swann's methods, including coordinate remote-viewing (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 258-61).

22 After Russell Targ left SRI, he and Harary toured the World, including traveling to many Communist countries which made some in the DIA very nervous.

Before officially leaving SRI, Harary -- along with Targ and businessman Tony White -- founded Delphi Associates. Their first project was to develop a psi-related game for Atari. But Atari went under before the deal was completed. Delphi then went on to try to predict silver futures on the market. After several reported successes, there were 2 misses which scared off their investor. Each blamed each other for the failure, and the argument went public during a lecture Harary gave at the Esalen Institute. The feud continued into the 1990s (Schnabel, 1997, pg 264-6).

Research director of the Institute for Advanced Psychology, San Francisco. Keith Harary is reportedly concentrating on his psychology career and shying away from parapsychology.

Willis Harman

[Note: for some reason, Harman's name has been spelled "Harmon" in many places]

President of the Institute of Noetic Sciences. Co-founder of the World Business Academy. Former consultant to the White House's National Goals Research Staff. On Board of Directors of the Albert Hoffman Foundation. Director of the Center for the Study of Social Policy at SRI International. Former Director of the Educational Policy Research Center at SRI.

There is evidence that while at SRI, Harman was at least interested in and knowledgeable of the remote-viewing program even if he was not directly involved. He wrote the introduction to Mind Race (written by Russell Targ and Keith Harary) which dealt with the program. He referred to their research in some of his writings. He's president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, which provided some of the project's early funding.

While an engineering professor at Stanford University, Harman led a 1962 conference on human potentiality at the Esalen Institute called "The Expanding Vision". (Anderson, Walter Truett, The Upstart Spring, Addison-Wesley Publishing, 1983, pg 68)

It was also during this time that Harman was engaging in legal LSD research and was involved with the Government, probably through the International Foundation for Advanced Study of which he was vice president (Anderson, pg 108,142).

While at SRI, Harman hired Alfred Hubbard -- officially as a security guard. His real duties were to administer LSD to political and business figures as part of Harman's Alternative Futures Project. (Fahey, Todd Brendan, "The Original Captain Trips", High Times, November 1991) 23

In February 1979, Harman attended an LSD reuinion party hosted by Dr. Oscar Janiger along with Laura Huxley, Sidney Cohn, John Lilly, Alfred Hubbard, and Timothy Leary among others (Lee, Martin and Schlain, Bruce, Acid Dreams, Grove Press, 1985, 213).

Willis Harman died in April, 1997 of a brain tumor.

Author of: ● Changing Images of Man, 1982 ● Energy Futures, Human Values, and Lifestyles : a new look at the energy crisis, 1982 ● Higher Creativity : liberating the unconscious for breakthrough insights, 1984 ● An Incomplete Guide to the Future, 1979 ● New Traditions in Business : spirit and leadership in the 21st century, 1982 ● Paths to Peace : exploring the feasibility of sustainable peace, 1987 ● also several textbooks on electrical engineering and communications

Alfred Hubbard

OSS officer in WWII. Hubbard first took LSD in 1951 and proceeded to "turn on" several individuals prominent in LSD research including Dr. Humphrey Osmond, Myron Stolaroff, and Aldous Huxley, earning him the title of "the Johnny Appleseed of LSD". (Lee, Martin and Schlain, Bruce, Acid Dreams, Grove Press, 1985, pg 44)

Hubbard later did undercover work for several agencies including the FDA and FBI. He reportedly tried (and failed) to "turn on" J. Edgar Hoover. He introduced LSD to many high-ranking intelligence officers. In the early 1950s, he refused an offer to join the CIA (Lee and Schlain, pg 52). In all, it is estimated that Hubbard introduced LSD to over 6,000 individuals. He worked until 1965 at the International Foundation for Advanced Study (mis-identified here, I think, as the International Federation for Advanced Studies) (Fahey, Todd Brendan, "The Original Captain Trips", High Times, November 1991)

Hubbard was hired by Willis Harman (then director of the Educational Policy Research Center at SRI)to be a special investigative agent earning $100 a day. Officially he was a security guard, although his actual duties included spying on the drug culture which Hubbard -- a political conservative -- disdained. He stayed at SRI until the late 1970s (Lee and Schlain, pg 198-9).

Fahey describes Hubbard's work at SRI differently, placing him with the Alternative Futures Project which sought to "turn on" the World's political and business leaders. He left SRI in 1974 and died on August 31, 1982. (Fahey)

24 In February, 1979, Hubbard attended an LSD reunion party, hosted by Dr. Oscar Janiger along with Laura Huxley, Sidney Cohn, John Lilly, Willis Harman, and Timothy Leary among others (Lee and Schlain, 213).

Aldous Huxley

British author of Brave New World, which ranks with George Orwell's 1984 as the finest piece of dystopian literature.

Some (mainly Lyndon LaRouche and his followers) have charged that Huxley was a British intelligence agent sent to revive the ancient Egyptian Isis cult, centering around the use of drugs. They also charge that Brave New World was a blueprint rather than a warning. I doubt that these folks even read the book, much less the non-fiction follow up Brave New World Revisted in which Huxley expresses his fears that the chemically-controlled society in his book is becoming a reality. He did, however, see promise in LSD, mescaline, and other psychedelics for expanding human awareness.

Ironically, during his psychedelic experimentation in America (years before LSD or other drugs hit the subculture), he crossed paths with many figures in the CIA's MK-ULTRA program.

Huxley was turned on to mescaline by Dr. Humphrey Osmond, who in turn was introduced to the drug by Alfred Hubbard. Hubbard personally guided Huxley through his second mescaline trip and his first experience with LSD.

Huxley was also friends with Dr. Louis "Jolly" West and suggested that West try combining LSD with hypnosis. (Lee, Martin and Schlain, Bruce, Acid Dreams, Grove Press, 1985, pg 46-8)

Huxley was also interested in parapsychology and lectured on the topic at Duke University. It was at Duke where Huxley had contact with J.B. Rhine, who reportedly did experiments in psychic phenomena for the CIA and the Army (Lee and Schlain, pg 48).

Helped to start up the Esalen Institute. Was reportedly friends with Andrijah Puharich.

25 Ray Hyman

Professor of Psychology at the University of Oregon and a well=known skeptic.

In 1972, Hyman evaluated Uri Geller at SRI. His unfavorable conclusions caused ARPA to drop its funding of SRI's project.

In my opinion, Hyman's evaluation was flawed. By all indications, Hyman tested Geller using his own protocols -- not that of the team at SRI. Therefore, any conclusion that the controls were inadequate reflects on Hyman's protocals, not SRI's. (see Targ, Russell and Puthoff, Harold E, Mind-Reach, Delacorte Press, 1977, pg 172-3)

Founding member of CSICOP (The Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal) and an executive editor of CSICOP's magazine, Skeptical Inquirer. A former board member of the False Memory Syndrome Foundation, Hyman reportedly left after Jennifer Freyd (the daughter of FMSF's executive directors Peter and Pamela Freyd) accused her parents of molesting her as a child. (Constantine, Alex, Psychic Dictatorship in the USA, Feral House, 1995, pg 66)

On the National Research Council's committee on Enhancing Human Performance. Hyman evaluated parapsychology for the NRC. Hyman later gave a negative evaluation of the program for the American Institutes for Research in 1995.

C.B. Scott Jones

President of the Human Potential Foundation. (Former?) assistant - Menelika McCarthy.

Former aide to Sen. Claiborne Pell for 7 years, worked almost exclusively with the paranormal. Was paid nearly $50,000/yr.

Born 1928. Joined the Navy around 1946. Career officer, served as a fighter pilot in the Korean War.

26

"He served in Naval Intelligence for approximately 15 years including assignments with Carrier Division 14 and as Assistant Naval Attache, New Delhi, India, and Kathmandu, Nepal in the 1960s. He collected intelligence and provided intelligence support throughout Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa."

"Jones has briefed the President's Scientific Advisory Committee and has testified before House and Senate committees on intelligence matters."

Retired from the Navy around 1976 due to a parapsychological experience. After retiring, he worked for several companies including R.F. Cross Associates Ltd. and Kaman Tempo, a division of Kaman Sciences. This work involved development in projects sponsored by the Defense Nuclear Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM).

Helped behind the scenes at the TREAT II conference (1/90, Blacksburg, Virginia campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University). TREAT was/is organized by Rima Laibow. "As late as the summer of 1991, Jones and Laibow were planning a yachting excursion together with Col. John Alexander ... to investigate anomalies in the Bahamas."

"In 1989, MUFON appointed Jones as a Special Consultant in International Relations."

Involved in parapsychology conferences since (at least) the mid-70s. "Scott has been on the Board of Trustees of the American Society for Psychical Research (ASPR) since 1985 and now [1992] serves as its President."

Formed the Human Potential Foundation in 1989. Board members include Clark Sandground and Claiborne Pell.

"Scott often escorted Prince Hans-Adam of Liechtenstein, a very wealthy European with a long- standing interest in the paranormal. Together, they visited parapsychological laboratories and UFO conferences."

"Jones has conducted his own dolphin telepathy studies along with Colonel John Alexander and Theodore Rockwell, a prominent (Who's Who) nuclear engineer who has worked on naval nuclear propulsion systems and who also serves as vice president of the U.S. Psychotronics Association."

In his paper "Government UFO Connections" (included in "Phoenix in the Labrynth"), he claims to have no knowledge of government involvement in UFOs.

"Laibow, [Gen. Albert] Stubblebine, and ufologist Victoria Lacas (with Jones in the shadows) toured Europe and the Soviet Union where they have established a prodigious UFO/Psi network." (Durant, Robert J., "Will the Real Scott Jones Please Stand Up?", 1992)

Hosted a symposium for his employer, Kaman Tempo, entitled "Applications of Anomalous Phenomena" (Leesburg, Virginia, 11/30-12/1/83). The symposium was intended to bring government, academic, and military officials up-to-date information on private psi research. (Geller, Uri and Playfair, Guy Lyon, The Geller Effect, Johnathan Cape, 1986, pg 224-5)

"[Eldon] Byrd told me [Dick Farley] about it [Byrd's lawsuit w/ Randi] over dinner at C.B. "Scott" Jones home one evening of several we spent together back in '92 and '93 there." 27

Michael Persinger "is/was a big buddy of C.B. Jones (Jones says)". (Farley, Dick, "False Memory Spindrome")

Navy pilot and intelligence officer for 40 years. Retains his security clearance. While a Navy attache in India, he experienced an unknown paranormal event that "enabled me to do my intelligence assignment with much greater speed than one ordinarily expected." A believer in UFOs since he saw one during the Korean War.

His book Phoenix in the Labyrinth reportedly deals with PSI-TECH a great deal. (Gardner, Martin, "Clairborne Pell: The Senator From Outer Space", Skeptical Inquirer, March/April 1996)

On the registration questionnaire for the 5/28/95 "When Cosmic Cultures Meet" conference, Jones asked attendees if they would consider taking a drug that would result in telepathic contact with aliens. (Chevalier, Remy, "When Cosmic Cultures Meet", Paranoia, Issue 10, pg 11) [StealthSkater note: does this sound familiar to the pill that ELINT Sgt. Dan Sherman was required to take before his computer "Interactive Comms" with aliens in Project Preserve Destiny? => doc pdf URL ]

While working for Sen. Pell, Jones was in contact with many psychics and often put them in touch with intelligence agencies. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 273)

In 1989, Scott claimed that the Government probably didn't have a large parapsychology program ("large" meaning funding in the millions) apart from occasional application of research in the open literature by individuals with strong personal interests. (Jones, C.B. Scott, "Essay Review of Psychic Warfare: Fact of Fiction?, Journal of Parapsychology, 6/89, pg 147)

(This was after he himself was involved in such a program, so he would have known better).

In this essay, he also seems to doubt that the U.S. could carry on a mind-control program (again) due to the checks and balances of our democratic system.

Jones has attended conferences in the former Soviet Union where he was in contact with Christopher Bird (Jones, 1989, pg 144). His foundation is also involved with the research of Russian scientist Dr. Igor Smirnov.

Richard Kennett

"Richard Kennett" is a pseudonym used by author Jim Schnabel in Remote-Viewers (Dell, 1997) to describe a CIA scientist who worked with the remote-viewing project.

In the photo insert is a picture (above) of Kennett, Pat Price, and Harold Puthoff after a remote- viewing experiment involving a glider. Elsewhere (example: Puthoff, Harold, "CIA-Initiated Remote Viewing Program at Stanford Research Institute", Journal of Scientific Exploration, Vol. 10, No. 1, Spring 1996), the man on the left is identified as Chistopher Green. As there can't be too many scientists at the CIA with an interest in the paranormal with this name, I feel safe in guessing that the two are the same although I haven't absolutely confirmed it. At any rate, here is the information on "Richard Kennett" -- all from Remote-Viewers.

In Spring 1973, he was an analyst with the CIA's Office of Scientific Intelligence with a Ph.D. in neurophysiology. "Within a decade, Kennett would be the assistant national intelligence officer for chemical and biological warfare issues". His work concentrated on evaluating the health of foreign officials. But he also explored the fringes of medicine and psychology. It was under these circumstances that he challenged Hal Puthoff's research at SRI, although he was not officially controlling the contract (pg 104-6).

The initial challenge was to "view" a secret microwave receiving station. [This controversial experiment is dealt with at length here. According to Schnabel's information, this would make Kennett the "East Coast challenger" from Mind Reach]. Kennett as well as the team at SRI were reportedly investigated by the Defense Investigative Service after the viewing.

Kennett was also involved with the experiments with Uri Geller (pg 139). Kennett was also called in to look at the scientists at Lawrence Livermore national laboratory who began to see "visions" after experimenting with Geller (pg 166-9).

Kennett left the CIA around 1985 (pg 317).

Sam Koslov

Around 1976, Koslov -- as the scientific assistant to the secretary of the Navy -- was being briefed on various contracts the Navy held including one for SRI. The section describing the contract at SRI was headed "ELF AND MIND CONTROL" (ELF stands for extremely-low frequency). Reportedly, Koslov was upset by the label and cancelled the contract with SRI. "I don't believe it's the function of the military to support parapsychology." (Wilhelm, John, "Psychic Spying?", Washington Post 8/7/77, B5)

According to another account, the heading was "Sensing of Remote EM sources (Physiological Correlates)". According to this account, Koslov thought the project dealt with mind-control and looked into the contract in more detail. He found that it dealt with psychic research which upset him as well, and ordered the contract to be cancelled. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers, Dell, 1997, pg 206)

Either Wilhelm paraphrased and misinterpreted the section heading on the briefing, or the story was sanitized somewhere along the line before reaching Schnabel's book. In either case, the Navy continued to fund psychic research (Wilhelm, 1977) and has been one of the biggest funders of research related to electronic mind-control.

In 1965, Koslov -- then a physicist at the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) -- suggested to Charles Weiss (head of security at the State Department) that a "a sober and systematic program of research" look into the "Moscow Signal", which was caused by microwave radiation being beamed into the Moscow American Embassy. This program eventually evolved into Project Pandora -- America's first research program into the possible offensive, anti-personnel use of non-ionizing microwave radiation. (Steneck, Nicholas H., The Microwave Debate, The MIT Press, 1984, pg 94-5)

By the 1980s, Koslov was working with the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University where he continued to study the effects of electromagnetic radiation on humans. He is currently the vice president of the Maryland Microscopical and Scientific Instrument Society.

Ken Kress

An engineer with the CIA's Office of Technical Services. Kress brought the first CIA remote- viewing research contract to SRI in 1972 and occasionally gave coordinates for remote-viewing experiments. When SRI remote-viewer Pat Price went to work directly for the CIA, Kres was his handler. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 176)

Rima Laibow

Psychiatrist, deals with purported UFO abductees. Laibow clims to be an abductee herself. Previously associated with Budd Hopkins. Organizer of TREAT (Treatment and Research of Experienced Anomalous Trauma). Married to Gen. Albert Stubblebine.

57 Lino Pl., Pukalani, Hawaii 96768 Fax 808-572-7215 [email protected]

In 1952 during the CIA's MK-ULTRA mind-control program, Lilly briefed the intelligence community on his work to map out the brains of animals using implanted electrodes. He abandoned this line of work because he felt it was unethical.

In 1952, he studied the effects of sensory deprivation tanks and also briefed the intelligence community with his progress. Lilly refused to let any of his work be classified and ended up leaving the National Institute of Health when he found that he could not work without the interference of the government. (Marks, John, The Search for the Manchurian Candidate, Times Books, 1979, pg 142-4)

While experimenting with sensory deprivation and LSD and ketamine, Lilly came to believe that he was in psychic contact with the aliens of what he called the "Earth Coincidence Control Office". The aliens were guiding events in Lilly's life to lead him to work with dolphins, which were psychic conduits between aliens and humans. The aliens are acting for the survival of organic lifeforms against artificial intelligences called "solid-state lifeforms". (Lilly, John, The Scientist, J. B. Lippincott Company, 1978)

While Lilly implies that he left the NIH because of unethical government interference, his Communications Research Institute (founded in the 1958 to study dolphins) was partially funded by the Air Force, NASA, NIHM, the National Science Foundation, and the Navy. He was assisted in this work by Gregory Bateson. (Lipset, David, Gregory Bateson: The Legacy of a Scientist, Prentice Hall, 1980, pg 241) 31

In February 1979, Lilly attended an LSD reunion party hosted by Dr. Oscar Janiger along with Laura Huxley, Sidney Cohn, Willis Harman, Alfred Hubbard, and Timothy Leary among others. (Lee, Martin and Schlain, Bruce, Acid Dreams, Grove Press, 1985, 213)

Section Chief for the National Institute of Health, Section on Cortical Integration in the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness and in the National Institute of Mental Health, Bethesda, Maryland (1953-1958).

Founder and Director of the Communications Research Institute, Saint Thomas, United States Virgin Islands, and Miami, Florida (1959-1968).

Chief of Psychological Isolation and Psychedelic Research for the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center, Catonsville, Maryland (1968-1969).

In 1964, Lilly held seminars at the Esalen Institute and was Group Leader and Associate in Residence from 1969 to1971.

Fellow with the Center for the Advanced Study of Behavior, Palo Alto, California (1969-1970).

Treasurer of Human Software, Inc., Malibu, California (1973-present).

Bruce Maccabee

Website: http://brumac.8k.com

"Dr. Maccabee has been a Research Physicist at the Naval Surface Weapons Center in Silver Spring, Maryland since 1972. His work has centered on high power lasers, underwater sound, and the Ballistic Missile Defense. He holds a Ph.D. in Physics from the American University in Washington, DC.

"Dr. Maccabee was a member of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena. In 1975, he joined MUFON and was appointed State Director for Maryland and a Consultant in Photo Analysis and Laser Physics. In 1979, Dr. Maccabee and other ufologists established the Fund for UFO Research, where he continues to serve on the national board. His UFO investigations include the McMinnville photos of 1950, the Gemini II astronaut photos, the New Zealand sightings, the Japan Airlines sighting, the Gulf Breeze case, and others. In 1993, he provided a briefing paper on UFOs for the President's science advisor. He conducted historical research and was the first to obtain the 'flying disc file' for the FBI." (biographical data from The National Institute for Discovery Sciences)

Maccabee has recently worked with the National Institute for Discovery Sciences and probably worked with-or-near Eldon Byrd, as the two both worked at the Naval Surface Weapons Center at the same time.

In an article entitled "The Fund for CIA Research, or Who's Disinforming Who?", the anonymous authors (the Associated Investigators Group) accuse Maccabee of working with the CIA, providing them with information, and letting the CIA affect his leadership in FUFOR. According to the article, Maccabee's main contact with the CIA was through Dr. Christopher Green.

In a written response, Maccabee rebuts that most of his contacts with the CIA have been in the context of his work with the Navy and are unrelated to his UFO research. He says that he did give CIA employees informal lectures at the request of Ron Pandolfi, but that the CIA has never attempted to influence his research.

"I never contacted any companies. What I did was tell Jack Acuff (Director of NICAP at the time) that I would like to speak to experts in the field of radar. He, in turn, put me in contact with a scientist -- Dr. Gordon MacDonald -- at the MITRE corporation. I was invited to discuss the New Zealand sightings with him and several other scientists at MITRE in McLean, Va. and I did (and they generally agreed with my conclusions). Then a week-or-so later, I learned that MacDonald had contacted a man at the CIA who contacted me and offered to provide technical consultation if I would provide a briefing to some CIA employees. At first, I was leery of doing anything with the CIA. But I knew they had radar 33 experts, so I stipulated that if they would give me some feedback I'd tell them what I know. So I briefed them and I received some helpful comments..."

"After I discussed the NZ case, one employee -- Dr. Christopher "Kit" Green (KG) -- invited me to visit the CIA again a week-or-so later to have a general UFO discussion with him and a couple of other employees..."

"After that last meeting with KG in the spring of 1979, I didn't see him again and had no contact with the agency until June, 1984 when I was contacted by Dr. Ronald Pandolfi regarding my Navy work. He had been tracking developments by the "other side" in that field of research and wanted to know what the U.S. state-of-the-art was." (Bruce Maccabee's response to the AIR report)

John Mack

Harvard psychology professor, probably the most prominent spokesman of the alien abduction phenomena.

Dr. John E. Mack's Response to Nova, February 22, 1996 34

Formerly on the board of advisors for Werner Erhard's EST.

Interview with John Mack Psychiatrist, Harvard University. According to Dick Farley (former aide to C.B. Scott Jones), Laurance Rockefeller funneled "$194,000 to Mack's Harvard- affiliated 'Center for Psychology and Social Change' via the Washington, DC chartered 'Human Potential Foundation, Inc.' in the 1993-1994 period. Mack's group then started 'PEER' (Program for Exceptional Experience Research) and operated an 'alien abductee support group' who -- among other functions they served -- became fodder for Dr. Mack's 1994 'Abductions'." ( here for Farley's post)

According to Donna Bassett who infiltrated Mack's abductee support group, the Center for Psychology and Social Change (co-founded by Robert Jay Lifton) receives $250,000 a year from Rockefeller. Rockefeller also gave $194,000 to PEER (Program for Extraordinary Experience Research) along with various other donations. According to Bassett, Mack claims to have received funding from an ex-CIA source.

Mack was reportedly heavily involved in the Russian/American exchange at the Esalen Institute.

Edwin May

Joined the SRI remote-viewing program in 1976. He became head of the program after Hal Puthoff left in 1985. He continued his work as director at SAIC (Science Applications International Corporation) when the research program moved in 1991.

May left SAIC on 11/28/95. He is a frequent contributor to the Journal of Parapsychology and is currently with the Cognitive Sciences Laboratory of Palo Alto, California which he founded at SRI.

"Through the years, I have presided over 70% of the project's $20M funding and been responsible for over 85% of the data collected under U.S. Government contracts." (Interview with Ed May)

Joseph McMoneagle

website: http://www.mceagle.com/ P.O. Box 100, Nellysford, Virginia 22958 Office: (804) 361-9215 Fax: (804) 361-9056 [email protected]

Military remote-viewer with the INSCOM/DIA program at Fort Meade from 1978-84.

"Joseph W. McMoneagle was born January 10, 1946, in Miami, Florida. He voluntarily joined the U.S. Army and was recruited by the Army Security Agency for classified assignments."

36 In 1978, "he was assigned to the Headquarters of U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) in Arlington, Virginia where he culminated his career acting as a Special Projects Intelligence Officer with the 902nd Military Intelligence Group for the remainder of his service."

He retired in 1984. "Many unusual experiences have formed the foundation of his present company, Intuitive Intelligence Applications. A Near-Death Experience (NDE), a UFO sighting, and numerous spontaneous Out-of-Body (OBE) episodes have caused him to spend the larger portion of his life seeking more effective answers to questions concerning reality. He became interested in remote- viewing after participating in experiments at SRI International in California."

"Joe is currently working on his next project, 'Expectations From the Year 3000'"

("Who is Joseph McMoneagle?" from the Controlled Remote-Viewing Home Page)

"I, Joseph W. McMoneagle, hold the distinction of being the only Remote-Viewer associated with the 'Project' from its formalization under INSCOM as GRILLFLAME (mid- 1978) throughout and until its termination as Project STARGATE (in 1995)" Viewer number #001/372.

McMoneagle refutes many of claims made by Ed Dames concerning his position and length of service in the remote-viewing program. (McMoneagle, Joe, "A Response to Ed Dame's Statement on CRV")

"I employed Joe in a number of operations ca. 1980-82 while serving as an intelligence targeting officer at levels of DoD much higher than McMoneagle (or Buchanan) ever dreamed of having access to. However, since he is not trained, Joe has difficulty in recognizing when imagination begins to start slipping into his perceptions." (Dames, Ed, "Will the Real Lyn Buchanan Please Sit Down")

Currently a research associate at Cognitive Sciences Laboratory.

McMoneagle worked as a consultant to SRI and SAIC. In 1984, he received the Legion of Merit award for excellence in intelligence service. According to his citation (quoted by Ed May), "He served most recently as a Special Project Intelligence Officer for SSPD, SSD, and 902nd MI group ... While with SSPD, he used his talents and expertise in the execution of more than 200 missions, addressing over 150 essential elements of information." (May, Edwin, "The American Institutes of Research Review of the Department of Defense's Star Gate Program: A Commentary", Journal of Parapsychology, Vol 60, Mar/96)

"I can tell you that I participated in over 350 separate cases like the [Iran] hostage situation and was accurate at least 86 percent of the time."

Question: "Joe, are you still doing any work involving remote viewing of future technologies... and can you share any of that with us?"

Joe McMoneagle: "Yes, I'm still working with the lab at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas... All I can say is that we are still building the machine, but don't quite know what it will do yet." He is working at this project with Dean Radin. (Compuserve On Line Conversation w/ Joe McMoneagle, 01/04/96)

37 In McMoneagle's book Mind Trek (Hampton Roads, 1993), he offers one of the better descriptions of how remote-viewing is supposed to work. The historical details are a bit trickier as it was published 2 years before the CIA admitted to having supported the program.

In July, 1970, McMoneagle had a Near-Death Experience while stationed in Germany. Afraid of ridicule, he did not mention the experience for several years.

SIGHTINGS ON THE RADIO Talks about remote-viewing, Near-Death Experiences, the future, and about his book Mind Trek: Exploring Consciousness, Time and Space Through Remote-Viewing

There are several problems trying to form a timeline for the period when McMoneagle joined the remote viewing program. According to his book, this chain of events started in 1979 when he read Robert Monroe's book Journeys Out of the Body (pg 40). When a neighbor saw him reading the book, he offered him a copy of one of Puthoff's papers on remote-viewing.

"My job in Washington, DC had much to do with sub-contract management for major ongoing projects in military research and development." (pg 41) As a part of his duties, he often traveled to the West Coast. In October, 1978 (pg 43), he took a leave of absence to spend in Menlo Park. During this time, he met Dr. Hal Puthoff and his colleagues at SRI in July, 1979 (pg 26) and became involved with their experiments in remote-viewing -- the first of which is dated June 4th, 1978 (pg 46).

I don't know what to make of these glaring inconsistencies in the timeline. It is probably a combination of poor editing by the publisher and a difficulty in keeping his cover story straight. As McMoneagle was assigned with INSCOM in 1978 (the same year INSCOM began its operational remote viewing unit codenamed GrillFlame), I have difficulty accepting that McMoneagle heard of the SRI experiments from a neighbor and started his work with SRI on his own initiative and in an unofficial capacity. I don't know if and how he has revised his story as to how he became involved in the program, other than to say that he was involved in the official program.

Elsewhere, in a frequently asked questions section of his book, McMoneagle openly denies that the Army was involved in remote-viewing. "I spent my entire career -- 20 years -- in Army Intelligence and Security. Most of my assignments were overseas, and most of the jobs were classified. My interest in remote-viewing was something that I had to pursue on my own and my early retirement from the service was a direct result of that interest."

He elaborates in a follow-up question: "You mean you didn't do remote-viewing in the Army?" "That would imply the United States Army has an open attitude regarding psychic functioning -- which it doesn't. There is very little in the Army which is conducive to remote-viewing or its function." (pg 221)

While he doesn't exactly say "no" in his answer, I consider it misleading enough to be a denial. Also, his denial is given voluntarily and was not coerced in the context of something like an interview. While it would have been illegal for him to reveal classified information, I think it would have been just as easy for him to have omitted the topic rather than providing disinformation. [StealthSkater note: perhaps he is just being overly precise. I suspect the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) -- and not any of the regular services (e.g., Army, Navy, Air Force) -- would house the remote-viewer section.]

In October, 1965, McMoneagle witnessed a UFO while stationed in the Bahamas (pg 219). Later in the 1980s, he remote-viewed "the Face on Mars" and claims to have contacted Martians who were trying

38 to survive an environmental cataclysm of their planet. His claims mirror those of Ed Dames and Courtney Brown (Chapter 16).

McMoneagle has done experiments in remote-viewing and Out-of-Body Experiences with Robert Monroe at the Monroe Institute.

In an interview with Magical Blend, McMoneagle repeats the story about going to SRI under his own initiative, and again gives a misleading answer regarding the military's involvement:

[Question:] "You were with Military Intelligence in the Army. Did you ever use your psychic abilities in your military career?

Joseph McMoneagle: I think that I've used these abilities all my life, but in such a natural way that it would be very difficult to specify when and where."

After retiring from the Army in September, 1984, McMoneagle worked as a consultant for SRI and the Monroe Institute.

Edgar Mitchell

Former Navy pilot and astronaut. Founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences and Edgar D. Mitchell & Associates. Involved with Robert Bigelow's National Institute for Discovery Science.

Has known Andrijah Puharich since 1970, and in 1972 sponsored Uri Geller during his tests with American scientists including the tests at SRI.

Mitchell briefed then CIA director George Bush on the activities and results of the Institute of Noetic Sciences. (Mitchell, Edgar, The Way of the Explorer, GP Putnam's Sons, 1996, pg 91)

Edgar Mitchell was the 6th astronaut to walk on the Moon. What makes him interesting is a cosmic consciousness experience that he has on his return flight to Earth. What also makes him interesting is he straddles the world between hard science and the "flakes" -- irritating both sides. I (Roedy Green) figure the best research pickings have to be in places where people have been too embarrassed to look.

39 I (Roedy Green) saw him in August, 2001. I (Roedy Green) had a brief CC-like experience -- or more accurately, a feeling of reaching out internally and touching something alien, distant and beautiful, as he described his experience in the spacecraft. I (Roedy Green) publicly asked him if his experience was a "one-shot thing" and if there was any way to induce it other than becoming an astronaut. He said that he had learned to induce it pretty well at will using meditation. He also repeated the phrase: "Before enlightenment, chop wood and carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood and carry water." which I (Roedy Green) think was his hint to me that he now considered himself "enlightened" and possibly a personal hint to me not to become too much of a space cadet. I (Roedy Green) caught him once deliberately exaggerating the meaning of Bell's theorem to some "flakes", claiming it would allow faster-than-light communications. Then I (Roedy Green) later caught him yarding some "flakes" back into hard science.

Robert Monroe

Founder and director of the Monroe Institute. Robert Monroe died in 1995.

Former Vice-President and Board Member of the Mutual Broadcasting System and founder of Monroe Industries, which owned and operated several radio stations. In 1956, he began investigating sleep-learning. His research in Out-of-Body Experiences began in 1958. He founded the Monroe Institute in 1974.

(Biography of Robert Allan Monroe)

(Quoted from Susan Blackmore's Beyond the Body: The earliest account I have found of Monroe's experiences is in Andrijah Puharich's book Beyond Telepathy (Dartman, Longman & Todd, 1962). According to this account, Monroe (under the name Bob Rame) triggered his Out-of-Body Experiences by huffing cans of cement containing ether (pg 67-78). Later accounts exclude this detail, but the rest of the story is essentially the same (see Blackmore, Susan, Beyond the Body, Granada Publishing, 1982, pg 40-44, excerpt)

Note: I have heard that James Monroe is the father of Robert Monroe, but I have been unable to confirm it. The two seemed to be too close in age, and Monroe's father is described as a University professor. But here is some info anyway:

James Monroe studied North Korean brainwashing victims for the Air Force. Later, he became Executive Director of the Human Ecology Society, which was a primary funding conduit for the CIA's MK-ULTRA mind control program and received 90% of its funds from the agency. James Monroe personally supervised the work of Dr. Ewen Cameron, whose psychic driving and coma "therapy" techniques were among the worst of MK-ULTRA's legacy. (Marks, John, The Search for the Manchurian Candidate, Times Books, 1979, pg 155)

40 Major David Morehouse

Military remote-viewer with the INSCOM/DIA program. Morehouse served from 1988-90 at Ft. Meade during 'SunStreak'.

Formerly an employee of PSI-TECH, 1992.

"David A. Morehouse, Ph.D. is a former Army major who resigned from service in 1994. He was an Infantry officer; aide to 2 commanding generals, airborne company commander, and a Ranger company commander. Just prior to his resignation, he served as a battalion executive officer to the 2nd Battalion, 505th Parachute Infantry Regiment, and as the Deputy G3 of the 82nd Airborne Division. He was a member of 'SunStreak' as a remote-viewer for 25 months circa 1988 to 1990."

"He is the author of Peace Quest: Visions of Future War by Greenwood Publishing Group, a book detailing the employment of nonlethal weaponry and technology using various fictional scenarios to template world events."

"He recently contracted with Hanna Barbera to produce a children's cartoon series. The series (working title) titled "Peace Force: The Avalon Odyssey" involves a space federation that employs nonlethal weaponry in defense of the inhabitants of the galaxy. Negotiations for development of nonlethal computer gaming for children are currently underway."

"He works with Paraview, Inc. as the Vice-President For Development. Paraview is a television and film production company & literary agency based in Manhattan, New York." ("Who is Dave Morehouse Ph.D.?")

"After being shot in the head by a Jordanian M-60 round, Morehouse said he began to experience visions and Out-of-Body Experiences. Not long afterward, he reports that he was enrolled in a secret Pentagon program where he worked as a remote-viewer, training to visualize images and information about American military enemies."

"Morehouse eventually decided to stop using his psychic powers for military purposes after participating in a secret program designed to send 'malicious brainwaves' to individual U.S. enemies, including Saddam Hussein during the Gulf War. The brainwaves were intended to induce in their target confusion, disorientation, and death."

"David Morehouse was discharged from the military after refusing to use his psychic powers as a weapon. He claims the government harassed him and his family after he tried to strike a deal with corporations and Hollywood to find a more positive outlet for his purported psychic capabilities." (ParaScope Staff, "Psychic Soldier Writes Book About Psy-Ops Warfare")

According to Ed Dames: "Morehouse was assigned to the unit for a relatively short period of time, after which he received a Less-Than-Honorable Discharge (being brought up on a series of charges -- 41 including rape --that could have potentially landed him in Leavenworth prison). Desperate for money, "Dr." Morehouse (now a "mail order Ph.D.") is marketing this outright fabrication to Hollywood, telling of how the military tried to "kill him" to stop him from going public." (Dames, Ed, "Will the Real Lyn Buchanan Please Sit Down")

However, according to writer Jim Schnabel, "in civilian life, what Morehouse had allegedly done was not even legally punishable..."

"The Fort Bragg prosecutors made the charges sound fearsome: adultery, sodomy, communicating a threat, conduct unbecoming an officer, and larceny (regarding a computer that Morehouse had "borrowed" from Fort Leavenworth and then loaned to Angela). All-in-all, however, it wasn't such a high stakes case. It boiled down to a jilted girlfriend and an officer who did a good job at work but had a habit of over-manipulating people and couldn't keep his pants zipped. ("He's got too many -- what is it? -- X genes or something!" Ed Dames told me at the time.)" (Scnabel, Jim, "An American Hero: The Truth About Dave Morehouse and Psychic Warrior (Part 2)")

According to Morehouse, "all charges and allegations were unsubstantiated and unproven." Also, he notes that his doctorate was not a "mail-order Ph.D." as Dames claims, and that he studied for it. (e-mail from Morehouse, 11/27/96)

While it seems he didn't just mail a check for his PhD (the way I got my ordination), LaSalle University is an unaccredited correspondence college.

Morehouse participate in Lyn Buchanan's Assigned Witness Program. According to an article by Richard Heinberg, Morehouse was a Ranger company commander and a Special Operations infantry officer. He was shot in the head (which was protected by a helmet) while serving in Jordan in 1987, which caused him to experience visions and Out-of-Body Experiences.

After recovering, Morehouse was recruited into an intelligence unit called "Royal Cape" which sought to support covert operations in foreign countries. When he revealed his strange experiences during psychological evaluations, he was recruited into the operational unit of the remote-viewing program.

Morehouse claims that he left the program because he felt that remote-viewing should be used for the good of mankind and should not be kept secret. He describes possible uses of the phenomena as finding a cure for cancer or AIDS (to my knowledge, Morehouse has discovered neither since going private).

After leaving the program and joining the regular Army (1992 in this article, 1990 everywhere else), Morehouse claims he was harassed by the Army including a murder attempt when a power generator was brought into his house and released carbon monoxide gasses. He was brought up on charges in 1993 (see above). "He was briefly hospitalized and given antipsychotic drugs". In December, 1994, he resigned and was given an "other than honorable" discharge. (Heinberg, Richard, "Memoirs of a Psychic Spy", Intuition Magazine, #13, 10/96, pg 19) [StealthSkater note: also see doc pdf URL ]

David Morehouse's 1996 book Psychic Warrior (St. Martin's Press, 1996) recounts his experience with operational unit while at Ft. Meade. In the Author's Note, Morehouse admits that many of the events were simplified for literary purposes. While it may make for smoother reading, it makes the work useless as research tool. 42

According to Lyn Buchanan, many of the events acted out by people who wish to remain anonymous were attributed to others who have come forward (click here for his comments). However, there are at least 2 instance (viewing of a downed Korean airliner and working on book with Jim Marrs) in which (I believe) Mel Riley's name was used in place of Ed Dames. This in spite of the fact that Dames has come forward. I suspect that the replacement was due more to their ongoing feud than to any respect for anonymity.

There are 2 other major differences between Morehouse's account and the accounts of others. The first deals with secrecy. I would have to agree with John Alexander that the remote-viewing project was "one of the worst kept secrets in the military". (Alexander, John, "Review of Psychic Warrior")

Morehouse describes various forms of harassment he suffered at the hands of the military because he was working on a book about remote-viewing. These include burglaries, being followed, an attempted murder of him and his family, being drugged while in a mental institution, and a court martial. Addressing the fact that none of the other viewers received such treatment (even though many went "public" long before Morehouse's book was released), Morehouse claims that he was singled out because he was in active duty while the others had since retired.

This would be true as far as the court martial is concerned. But the rest of the harassment was extra- legal and as such there would be no reason to stick to the rules. Also, there would have been plenty of opportunity for the military to threaten the other viewers with violating various secrecy oaths. As far as I have seen, no such threats have been made, and the extent to which the viewers have kept their secrets have been by voluntary effort.

The other major distinction lies in the nature of remote-viewing. Morehouse's account is closer to an Out-of-Body Experience (alternatively called "Experiential Remote Viewing") than remote-viewing. I believe that Morehouse uses this approach because it is more interesting from a literary perspective.

Author of: ● Peace Quest ● Psychic Warrior ● Nonlethal Weapons

Gordon Novel

CIA employee as of at least 1963. Was alleged to have been seen with Jack Ruby at Ruby's Carousel Club. According to researcher Paris Flammonde, he was friends with Dave Ferrie (Ferrie -- as well as being up to where his eyebrows would have been in the Kennedy assassination -- was a 43 practitioner of hypnosis and black magic) and knew Lee Harvey Oswald. He was an employee of the Double-Chek Corporation and the Evergreen Advertising Agency (both CIA fronts).

(Benson, Michael, Who's Who in the JFK Assassination, Carol Publishing Group, 1993, pg 317-8)

"In his youth, Gordon Novel belonged to a neo-Nazi group and was arrested and charged with bombing a Metarie, Louisiana theater that admitted blacks. Later, he sold spy devices in New Orleans. Gordon Novel claimed he worked with the Cuban Revolutionary Front during the Bay of Pigs as a Director of the CIA proprietary, the Evergreen Advertising Agency, and had created cryptographic messages for the CIA."

In 1967, the CIA reported that they never utilized either Novel or the Evergreen Advertising Agency. (Weberman, AJ; Nodule 24 - Page 19)

During New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison's investigation of the Kennedy assassination, Novel was recommended to him by one of Garrison's political supporters -- automobile dealer Willard Robertson. Novel was then an anti-eavesdropping expert, and Garrison was reportedly worried about FBI surveillance. Novel told Garrison about Dave Ferrie's arms pickup in Louisiana to arm anti-Castro Cuban exiles. (Epstein, Edward Jay, The Assassination Chronicles, Caroll & Graf, 1992, pg 197-8)

(More details of this burglary can be found at weberman.com: Nodule 24 - Page 20) When information regarding Garrison's investigation was leaked to NBC reporters, Garrison suspected Novel and Novel was subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury. Novel instead fled to Ohio where he was arrested on burglary charges that Garrison had filed accusing Novel of participating with Ferrie in the arms pickup.

"After some initial reluctance, Ohio Governor James Rhodes finally agreed to extradite Novel to Louisiana if Garison would complete the papers within 60 days," which Garrison reportedly never bothered to do. Later, Garrison would claim that people in high places -- up to and including President Lyndon Johnson -- were preventing him from obtaining his witnesses. (Epstein, 1992, pg 248)

During this time, Novel became an informant for the FBI regarding the Garrison investigation. (Weberman, AJ; Nodule 24 - Page 20)

After fleeing New Orleans in March, 1967, a note was found in his apartment:

""Dear Mr. Weiss: This letter is to inform you that District [sic] Jim Garrison has subpoenaed myself and an associate to testify before this Grand Jury on matters which may be classified Top- Secret. Actions of individuals connected with Double Chek Corporation in Miami in first quarter of 1961. Our connection and activity of that period involves individuals presently about to be indicted as conspirators in Mr. Garrison's investigation. We have temporarily avoided one subpoena... we want out of this thing before Thursday, March 1967... I have been questioned extensively by local FBI recently as to whether or not I was involved with Double Chek's parent holding corporation at the time. My reply on five queries was negative... Our attorneys and others are in possession of complete sealed files containing all information concerning matter. In the event of our sudden departure, either accidental or otherwise, they are instructed to simultaneously release same for public scrutiny..." (Weberman, AJ; Nodule 24 - Page 22)

● "In 1970 Gordon Novel was arrested on a charge of illegal interstate transportation of an eavesdropping device and was subsequently convicted."

44 ● "In May 1967, Gordon Novel staged an assassination attempt on himself which was reported to Raymond Rocca."

● "In 1968 after a fight with his in-laws, Gordon Novel exhibited CIA credentials to the arresting officers."

● "In 1974, Jack Anderson reported that Charles Colson asked Gordon Novel to help him build a giant degaussing gun to erase tapes that incriminated NIXON, stored at a CIA site."

● "The FBI stated that Gordon Novel was involved with Morningstar Associates -- an organization with supposed connections to the CIA and Department of Defense."

● "In the Summer of 1976, Gordon Novel and his partner John Langford were charged with possession of an incendiary device and aggravated arson. The men were involved an alleged plot to firebomb some property in the New Orleans Central Business District on Mardi Gras day, 1976 after attempts to purchase the property for $70 million had failed. Gordon Novel hired an undercover Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms agent who later admitted CIA ties to do the job. Jim Garrison represented Gordon Novel."

● "At his trial, Gordon Novel testified the Agency was after him because of international arms dealing. The trial -- covered extensively by Spotlight -- ended in a hung jury. On October 30, 1976, the judge declared a mistrial." (Weberman, AJ; Nodule 24 - Page 23)

● "In 1976, Novel lived with arms dealer Mitch Werbell."

● "On January 17, 1977 when Gordon Novel was arrested for arson, Mitch Werbell bailed him out." (Weberman, AJ; Nodule 21 - Page 79)

● "Gordon Novel had been hired by Aubrey Young to install electronic debugging equipment in the office of Governor John J. McKeithen." Young was McKeithen's aide and was reportedly tied to mobster Carlos Marcello (see source info for details) (Weberman, AJ; Nodule 27 - Page 91)

● Reportedly, Novel claims to have been hired by Nixon aide Chuck Colson to degauss the Watergate tapes.

● Later, he worked with John Z. DeLorean whose coke dealing, money laundering, and intelligence connections are too complicated to go into here.

● Recently, Novel has been involved in the UFO research community.

After physicist Bob Lazar went public with his claims of having back engineered flying saucers at Area-51, Novel showed up at Las Vegas, eager to meet with Lazar. Novel was interested in the mechanics of alleged anti-gravity devices. He had written a JFK researcher a letter from prison in 1978 describing his work in the field. Evidently, Lazar met with Novel once before being warned off by researcher Lars Hansson. ("An Interview with Lars Hansson", Steamshovel Press, #8, Summer 1993. Reprinted in Thomas, Kenn, Popular Alienation, Iluminet Press, 1995, pg 156-9) (for more information on Bob Lazar's intelligence connections, see my article Nuclear Dreamland and Hansson, Lars, "UFOs, Aliens and 'Ex'-intelligence Agents: Who's Fooling Whom The Inside Story of John Lear, Bill Cooper and 'The Greatest Cover-Up in Human History'", 7/18/91)

45 ● He has also been accused of threatening UFOlogist Bill Moore and writer Jim DiEugenio. Novel's friend John Alexander had once allegedly used Novel's reputation to threaten researcher Martin Cannon.

● Novel is reportedly involved with Robert Bigelow and his National Institute of Discovery Science. (What's New at Area 51 and Ufomind: 9/96 Part I) (What's New at Area 51 and Ufomind: 9/96 Part II)

● Novel worked as an investigator for former Attorney General Ramsey Clark in a civil trial following the Branch Davidian siege. (Moore, Carol, Excerpt from The Davidian Massacre)

● Novel has since become a conspiracy theorist in his own right. His claims reportedly include the idea that President Bill Clinton cracked down on the Branch Davidians to show the Bosnians how serious he was, and that former CIA director William Colby was murdered because he intended to come forward with this information.

● He also claims that fake terrorist attacks will be used to usher in a UN-controlled New World Order.

● He has also investigated the TWA 800 crash. (Puzzle Pieces)

Brendan O'Regan

Deceased. Former consultant to the Center for the Study of Social Policy at SRI, associate editor of the International Journal of Psychoenergetic Systems, research coordinator for Buckminster Fuller, and research director of the Institute of Noetic Sciences.

According to Jack Sarfatti, he was part of a "very very sophisticated and successful covert psychological warfare operation run by the late Brendan O'Regan of the Institute of Noetic Sciences and the late Harold Chipman who was the CIA station chief responsible for all mind-control research in the Bay Area in the 70's." (Sarfatti, Jack, "Quantum Quackers")

Ron Pandolfi

"Pandolphi is a PhD in physics and works at the Rocket and Missile section of the Office of the Deputy Director of Science and Technology, CIA." Aviary, codename: Pelican

(Victorian, Armen, "Non-Lethality: John B. Alexander, The Pentagon's Penguin", Lobster Magazine, 6/93)

In 1987, Pandolfi invited UFOlogist Bruce Maccabee "to give a general lecture to [CIA] employees on UFOs and MJ-12". (Maccabee's response to AIR)

Pandolfi had tried unsuccesfully for years to gain access to the DIA's remote-viewing program. He was thwarted by Dale Graff and Jack Verona, who kept him off the clearance list in fears that Pandolfi wnted to shut the program down. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 347)

Reportedly friends with John Alexander. 46

Executive Director of TACP -Technology Assisted Counter Poaching Network (1911 N. Fort Myer Drive, Suite 408, Arlington, VA 22209. Voice: 703-243-6613, Fax: 703-243-6619, Website, [email protected]). "Dr. Ron Pandolfi is a senior project director with broad expertise on the most advanced surveillance technologies supporting law enforcement and national security issues." TACP utilizes ground-sensor technology to detect poachers.

Sen. Clairborne Pell

Senator from Rhode Island. Member of the Council on Foreign Relations and the Club of Rome.

Along with Charlie Rose, Pell is one of Washington's biggest supporters of psychic research. In1988, he introduced a bill to get government funding for the new age group the National Committee on Human Resources (Al Gore was a co-sponsor). On the advisory board of the International Association of Near-Death Studies and on the board of the Institute of Noetic Sciences and the Human Potential Foundation.

1987, was given a demonstration by Uri Geller. James "The Amazing" Randi was supposedly able to duplicate his feats using trickery. Geller claims to have helped Pell during one election campaign by beaming positive energy at him.

For 7 years, he employed C.B. Scott Jones as an aide. (Gardner, Martin, "Clairborne Pell: The Senator From Outer Space", Skeptical Inquirer, March/April 1996) Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee. Pell was a close friend of BCCI figure Clark Clifford. (Truell, Peter and Gurwin, Larry, False Profits, Houghton Mifflin Company, 1992, pg 240)

Michael Persinger

[email protected]

"When he was still with the Navy, Dr. Byrd was the contract manager for some of the research Michael Persinger did on "neuro-impacts" of various EMFs and ELFs. Something about wave-

47 propagation and influences on submariners if somebody 'beeped' them with mind-influencing EMF signals, etc."

"He was previously funded by Navy, and is/was a big buddy of C.B. Jones (Jones says) and other government signal propagation experts...for whom Persinger does/did work on "receptivity" and neuro- effects of external signals." (Farley, Dick, "False Memory Spindrome")

"..did research on the effects of electromagnetic radiation on the brain for a Peentagon weapons project".

Former boss - Jack Verona

(Brandt, Daniel, Mind Control and the Secret State)

"My research has not been 'funded by U.S. interests'. All of the money for our human research for the last 30 years has been from my personal income as a professor. The only funding ($10,000) we ever obtained from the U.S. was from the U.S. Navy -- thanks to Eldon Byrd -- to evaluate the effects of 0.5 Hz rotating magnetic fields upon the degranulation of mast cells in the rat brain. The effect was small but statistically significant." (Letter to Wes Thomas, 1/6/99)

Persinger feels that he is able to replicate alien abduction and other supernatural phenomena through the use of 3 solenoids (attached to a modified motorcycle helmet) passing a magnetic pulse through the frontal lobes of the brain.

Solenoids are called "magnetic coils" by psychiatrists, who use them as a non-intrusive alternative to implantable electrodes for stimulating the brain. (see Hallett, Mark and Cohen, Leonardo, "Magnetism: a New Method for Stimulation of Nerve and Brain", JAMA, 7/28/89, pg 530)

By controlling the nature of the magnetic fields, causing them to simulate brain patterns, Persinger is able to stimulate strong emotions and hallucinations including the illusion of touch and movement. (Blackmore, Susan, "Alien Abduction: The Inside Story", New Scientist, 11/19/94, pg 29-31. Persinger is shown demonstrating this device on the British TV show Horizon entitled "Close Encounters" written and narrated by Susan Blackmore. For their efforts, both Persinger and Blackmore have been accused of being in the Aviary.)

In his studies of the paranormal and false memory, Persinger has used the Monroe Institute's hemisync tapes. There are several problems that I have with this and other studies:

Persinger doesn't mention brain entrainment in reference to the Hemisync tapes. (Brain entrainment is the process in which strobe lights or binaural beats force the brain into copying the frequency of the stimuli, changing the state of brainwave patterns). Persinger feels that the tapes work by intorducing the left brain into the right. The left brain is a stranger to the right, causing the subject to feel a "sense of presence" (i.e., the feeling that there is a person or spirit next to the subject, which Persinger feels can lead to an illusion of aliens or religious experiences). Problem is, the two halves of the brain aren't strangers, and the corpus callosum passes informtion between them within milliseconds.

Persinger also doesn't adequately explain how the ELF (extremely low frequency) electrical emissions caused by earthquakes and magnetic storms can cause the complex reactions replicated by his solenoid experiments. Persinger has done extensive testing on the psychological effects of ELF waves, and I have not seen any that came close to the experiences of Susan Blackmore.

48 In an attempt to describe how ELF waves can cause hallucinations, he refers to experiments done by Allen Frey who discovered that some people could hear radar inside their heads. Problem is, Frey was working with microwaves -- not ELF waves. The two are literally miles apart.

On the Board of Advisors for the False Memory Syndrome Foundation. Informal advisor to SRI's remote-viewing program.

Pat Price

Former police commissioner and vice-mayor of Burbank. After participating in an early SCANATE experiment, Price joined the remote viewing program at SRI. He died in 1975. (Targ, Russell and Puthoff, Harold E, Mind-Reach, Delacorte Press, 1977, Chapter 3)

See the article below for the circumstances surrounding Price's death. (Milner, Terry, "The Death of Pat Price", excerpt from an upcoming book)

Scientologist at OT Level IV. Former security guard at Lockheed's Skunk Works. Widely considered to be the best of the remote-viewers, and the only one that could reportedly read numbers and words while viewing.

Price has several unusual beliefs, including the idea that he could control the weather and alter traffic signals with his mind. He also believed that aliens had established bases on Mars and under the Earth's surface. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 117-8)

In the fall of 1974, Price left SRI to fill a position as president of a Huntington, WV coal company (which had Scientology connections). During this time, he worked directly for the CIA with Ken Kress as his handler. (Schnabel, 1997, pg 275-6)

49 In July, 1975, Price decided to quit his position with the coal company and return to SRI. He stopped at Las Vegas on his return trip and died of a heart attack in his hotel room. There was no autopsy peformed, allegedly due to the persuasion of an unknown individual with a briefcase full of Price's medical records. Since then, there have been rumors circulating that Price had been murdered by the KGB or that he faked his death and continued to work for the CIA. (Schnabel, 1997, pg 181-3)

Andrija Puharich

Born 1918. Received medical degree from Northwestern University in 1947. Reportedly a friend of Aldous Huxley.

1952 - had first contact with "the Nine" (the highest minds in the Universe) through a medium. (Gardner, Martin, Science: Good, Bad, and Bogus, Prometheus Books, 1981, pg 275)

Served in the Army in the early 1950s.

1952 - presented the paper "An Evaluation of the Possible Uses of Extrasensory Perception in Psychological Warfare" at a secret Pentagon meeting.

1953 - Lectured the Air Force on telepathy, and the staff of the Army Chemical Center on the "Biological Foundations of Extrasensory Perception". (McRae, Ronald, Mind Wars, St. Martin's Press, 1984, pg 79)

From 1948-58, was the director of research of the Round Table Foundation of Glen Cove, Maine.

Was Ira Einhorn's mentor in the paranormal. Ira claimed that Puharich "was doing LSD work for the CIA in 1954".

Set a medical lab to study psychic phenomena. Helped form the Intelectron Corporation which sold his hearing aids. One of Puharich's hearing aids is called the "tooth radio", which is literally implanted inside of a person's tooth and is used by magicians in telepathy acts.

1968 - "I was doing research in connection with the Atomic Energy Commission." Met Einhorn. (Levy, Steven, The Unicorn's Secret, Prentice Hall Press, 1989, pg 128-30)

"Discovered" Uri Geller and brought him to America. Puharich, in his book Uri claims that Geller received his power from an alien force called the Hoovians. This lost him some credibility, and Geller began to distance himself from Puharich. (Levy 131-2)

According to Gardner's account, in Uri, Puharich hypnotizes Geller, and Geller reveals more of the Nine's plans. They have authority over the Hoovians, which are the Controllers of various planetary civilizations. A city-sized spaceship called Spectra hovers over the Earth and sends messages from the 50 Hoovians light-years away to their super-computers to Geller, who is their emissary on Earth. (Gardener, pg 276)

Mid-70s: ran a complex in Ossining called the Turkey Farm. In the summer of 1975, Puharich assembled around 20 children from the ages of 9 to late teens called "Gellerlings" or "Space Kids". Puharich trained their psychic abilities and claimed that they received messages from aliens. One teen claimed that they practiced remote-viewing, and some of their assignments included political targets like the Kremlin and the White House. (Levy, pg 165-7)

Puharich has claimed that the Space Kids are able to materialize objects like trees, and that 6 of them arrived at his ranch via teleportation. (Gardener, pg 287)

It was also during this time that Puharich did experiments on the effects of ELF radiation on the central nervous system.

Part of Einhorn's "psychic mafia". Presented a paper on the Space Kids at the "Mind Over Matter" conference at Penn State University, late January, 1977 organized by Einhorn. Other attendees included Christopher Bird and Thomas Bearden. (Levy, pg 189)

Around 1978, Puharich's Turkey Farm burnt down as a result of arson and Puharich disappeared. A suspect in the arson was a Space Kid who claimed that aliens were harassing him. Puharich implicated the CIA. (Levy, pg 218-20)

Claims to have been the target of 4 assassination attempts by the CIA. As of 1989, he lived in North Carolina. (Levy, pg 348)

Andrijah Puharich died in 1995. See Terry Milner's series "Ratting out Puharich" for a more complete account and for details on Puharich's possible links to biological experiments.

Harold "Hal" Puthoff

Born 6/20/36. BS and MS in electrical engineering from the University of Florida. After graduating, Puthoff served in the Army on duty with the NSA at Fort Meade, Maryland. There, he worked as an engineer with Project Light which studied fiber optics, lasers, and high-speed computers (very cutting edge at the time). After leaving, he invented the tunable infra-red laser. 51 (McRae, Ronald, Mind Wars, St. Martin's Press, 1984, pg 92-3)

According to author Jim Schnabel (and confirmed by Dr. Puthoff), he served at the NSA in the early 1960's during his tour with the Navy (not the Army as McRae reported above) and later stayed on as a civillian. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 97)

Joined SRI in 1971 as a specialist in laser physics. Worked for the previous 8 years in the Microwave Laboratory at Stanford University. Served as an officer in the Navy from 1960-63 at Ft. Meade. (Mitchell, Edgar, Psychic Exploration, G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1974, pg 522)

Head of the SRI remote-viewing program, 1972-85. After he left, Puthoff was replaced with Ed May. Former Naval Intelligence Officer. (Puthoff, Harold, "CIA-Initiated Remote-Viewing Program at Stanford Research Institute", Journal of Scientific Exploration, Vol. 10, No. 1, Spring 1996)

"Dr. Harold E. Puthoff is Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin. A theoretical and experimental physicist specializing in fundamental electrodynamics, his research ranges from theoretical studies of quantum vacuum states as they apply to the stability of matter, gravitation, cosmology, and energy research to laboratory studies of innovative approaches to energy generation. A graduate of Stanford University in 1967, he has published over 30 technical papers in the areas of electron-beam devices, lasers, and quantum Zero-Point Energy effects, has patents issued and pending in the laser, communications, and energy fields, and is co-author of a textbook Fundamentals of Quantum Electronics (Wiley, 1969), published in English, French and Russian.

"Dr. Puthoff's professional background includes engineering work at General Electric and Sperry; 3½ years with the U.S. Department of Defense where his work on high-speed opto-electronic computers resulted in the award of a DoD Certificate of Commendation for Outstanding Performance; post-doc appointments at Stanford University as Research Associate, Ginzton Laboratories, and Lecturer, Dept. of Electrical Engineering; Director of the Cognitive Sciences Program at SRI International for over a decade where he was responsible for large-scale, innovative, government-funded research programs; and since 1985, Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies at Austin.

"Puthoff regularly serves various government agencies, the Executive Branch, and Congress as consultant on leading-edge technologies and future technology trends; is a member and officer of several professional organizations (NY Academy of Sciences, Amer. Assoc. for the Advancement of Science, Amer. Physical Soc., Soc. for Scientific Exploration); is listed in American Men and Women of Science, Who's Who in Science and Engineering, Who's Who in the South and Southwest and in Who's Who in the World; and has been designated a Fetzer Fellow (1991)." (Biography provided by Dr. Puthoff)

He is claimed to have been at OT (Operating Thetan) Level III with the Church of Scientology at the time of the experiments. He wrote the preface to Scientology: a Religion, and was married in a Scientology church. "Puthoff says his involvement with the church more than a decade ago was casual." (McRae, 1984, pg 108)

Puthoff joined the Church in the 1960s and left in the mid-1970s. After leaving, he lent support to a group that criticized the Church. It was during an LA training seminar that he met Pat Price, who later worked at SRI. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 198-200) 52

According to Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird in The Secret Life of Plants, while at SRI Puthoff did experiments with chicken eggs. Using an e-meter (invented by L. Ron Hubbard and used in the practices of Scientology), he attempted to see if an egg would react if another was broken nearby. (Tompkins, Peter and Bird, Christopher, The Secret Life of Plants, Harper and Row, 1973, pg 29)

Since the early 1970s, Puthoff had been a part-time paid consultant to Bill Church regarding alternative fuel sources. At Puthoff's urging, Church developed a company (Jupiter Technologies) to research Zero-Point Energy. In the summer of 1985 after giving only 2 weeks notice, Puthoff left SRI to work for Church full time. (Schnabel, Jim, 1997, pg 323)

Currently with the Institute of Advanced Studies at Austin, 4030 W Braker Ln, Suite 300, Austin, TX 78759 and president of Earthtech International at the same address here for Earthtech's home page. His current work is involved with quantum physics, Zero-Point Energy, and electrogravitics.

Puthoff is working with Robert Bigelow and his National Institute of Discovery Science. He posted a NIDS mission statement on USENET in March, 1996. (What's New at Area 51 and Ufomind: 9/96 Part I) (What's New at Area 51 and Ufomind: 9/96 Part II)

Interview with possible Roswell witness on 07 January 1993

Dean Radin

Currently director of the Consciousness Research Division, University of Nevada, Las Vegas. here for their home page.

"AT&T Bell Laboratories, Columbus, Ohio. I did research and development on human-computer interfaces in national and global telecommunications systems, medical information systems, network control centers, and also some parapsychological research."

"Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey. I was Director of a multidisciplinary group interested in aspects of human information processing. I was also a scientist within the Psychology Department where I did research on parapsychological phenomena."

Radin also worked with GTE, the Koestler Unit of Parapsychology, and with the program at SRI. (Dean Radin Home Page) 54

"I took a leave of absence from Bell Labs in 1985 and spent that entire year at SRI International, working with Hal Puthoff and Ed May. Since then, I spent about half my time in academia (Princeton, Edinburgh, UNLV) and half in industry (Contel Technology Center, GTE Labs). My academic research was exclusively on psi phenomena, and my industrial research included about 20% on psi."

"I'm not in favor of developing or using psi for any military purposes. But unfortunately, there are those in the World who would use psi as a weapon if they could. Thus, I reluctantly suppose that R&D on psi for intelligence and possibly military purposes can be justified for defensive reasons. It would be naive to think that someone somewhere is not working on this right now." (Interview with the RetroPsychoKinesis Project)

Radin is currently working with <>Joe McMoneagle in a project involved with remote-viewing future technology. (Compuserve On Line Conversation w/ Joe McMoneagle, 1/4/96)

Radin was once funded in part by Robert Bigelow's Bigelow Foundation. But according to Glenn Campbell, Bigelow stopped funding him after disputes over funding and academic freedom(What's New at Area 51 and Ufomind: 9/96 Part I) (What's New at Area 51 and Ufomind: 9/96 Part II). On 9/17/95, Radin posted a want-ad on USENET:

"Private, well-funded institute seeks a director for an innovative, long-term program of scientific and scholarly research on UFOs and related phenomena..."

"This is a full time position located at the institute's new headquarters in Las Vegas, NV near the University of Nevada (UNLV). The institute also supports a major research program on anomalies of human consciousness."

Applications were to be sent to the Bigelow Foundation.

Dean Radin is the moving force behind one of the largest online remote-viewing/ESP tests ever. This is what he has to say about it:

"As of April 25th, we have recorded a total of 2.1 million trials, contributed by over 14,000 participants from 92 countries. In these tests, we were interested in searching for possible psi talent; for testing hypotheses about individual personality, belief and environmental factors vs. psi performance; and for examining some ideas about perception through time."

For 16 years, Dean Radin has conducted experimental studies of psi phenomena in academia and industry including appointments at Princeton University, University of Edinburgh, University of Nevada, and SRI International. At the latter, he was a research scientist on a classified program of psi research. Prior to becoming President of the Boundary Institute, he was in charge of a psi research program at Interval Research Corporation in Palo Alto, California.

Dean Radin earned a BSEE magna cum laude in electrical engineering with honors from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst and an MS in electrical engineering and PhD (1979) in educational psychology -- both from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. For 10 years, he was a member of technical staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories, and later a principal member of the technical staff at GTE Laboratories where he was engaged in R&D on a wide variety of advanced telecommunications products and systems.

Elizabeth Rauscher

The Speed of Thought: Investigation of a Complex Space-Time Metric to Describe Psychic Phenomena Abstract: Elizabeth will present a paper co-authored by Russell Targ submitted for publication to The Journal of Scientific Exploration.

For more than 100 years, scientists have attempted to determine the truth or falsity of claims that some people are able to describe and experience events or information blocked from ordinary perception. For the past 25 years, the authors of this paper -- together with researchers in laboratories around the World -- have carried out experiments in remote- viewing. The evidence for this mode of perception (or direct knowing of distant events and objects) has convinced us of the validity of these claims. It has been widely observed that the accuracy and reliability of this sensory awareness do not diminish with either 56 electromagnetic shielding, nor with increases in temporal or spatial separation between the percipient and the target to be described. Modern physics describes such a time and space independent connection between percipient and target as "nonlocal".

In this paper, we present a geometrical model of space-time which has already been extensively studied in the technical literature of mathematics and physics. This 8- dimensional metric is known as "complex Minkowski space" and has been shown to be consistent with our present understanding of the equations of Newton, Maxwell, Einstein, and Schrödinger. It also has the interesting property of allowing a connection of zero distance between points in the complex manifold, which appear to be separate from one another in ordinary observation. We propose a model that describes the major elements of experimental parapsychology and at the same time is consistent with the present highly successful structure of modern physics.

Dr. Elizabeth A. Rauscher was associated with the University of California, Berkeley, CA (UCB) Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) from 1964 until 1979 -- first as a graduate student and then as a research staff member.

Mel Riley

Military remote-viewer at Ft. Meade, 1978-90. A remote-viewing session with Riley monitored by Ed Dames was shown in the video "Psi-Files: The Real X-Files", written and narrated by Jim Schnabel.

Riley left the Army in 1991 and lives in Wisconsin, where he is considered to be an expert in American Indian culture. He says that he now remote-views constantly.

Riley is part of Lyn Buchanan's Assigned Wittness Program. Richard Heinberg identifies him as being a remote viewer for 20 years, and a curator of a museum for Native American history. (Heinberg, Richard, "Memoirs of a Psychic Spy", Intuition Magazine, #13, 10/96)

Riley joined the operational unit beginning with 'Gondola Wish' and continued through 'Grill Flame' until he was reassigned to Wiesbaden, Germany in 1981 where he served in an aerial reconnaissance unit. He returned to the remote-viewing unit in the summer of 1986. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 309)

Laurance Rockefeller

Provided original funding to the Human Potential Foundation and funnels hundreds of thousands of dollars through them to John Mack and his research.

Supporter of the Green Earth Foundation, headed up by Terrance "DMT Elves" McKenna. (Chevalier, Remy, "When Cosmic Cultures Meet", Paranoia, Issue 10, pg 11)

Reportedly, Rockefeller has stopped funding Mack. He continues to fund PEAR (Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research) and is a Funding Advisor to the Joseph Campbell Foundation. He also funds the Starlight Coalition, which claims membership of several former government and military personnel who want to end government secrecy on UFOs.

Charlie Rose

Congressional Democrat from North Carolina and one of the bigger supporters of the government remote-viewing program.

Friends with Ingo Swann and Jack Verona. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 271)

Was friends with Ira Einhorn. (Constantine, Alex, "Rep. Charlie Rose, BNL, and the 'Occult'")

Jack Sarfatti

(Jack has the hat on) Physicist. Founding director of the Physics/Consciousness Research Group. President, Internet Science Education Project.

Sarfatti Group, 1714 Stockton St Suite 100 San Francisco, CA 94133 [email protected] http://stardrive.org

As a child in 1952, Sarfatti claims to have received phone calls from the mechanical voice of a conscious computer aboard a spaceship, recruiting him along with 400 others for some special project. These calls have similarities to the mechanical voice which talked to Andrijah Puharich via his tape recorder. Sarfatti was later associated with Puharich.

Director of a physics program at the Esalen Institute. He's been funded by Werner Erhard and Jean Lanier, a friend of Laurance Rockefeller. (Sarfatti, Jack, "The Parsifal Effect", The Destiny Matrix is available at http://www.amazon.com and http://www.1stbooks.com) Sarfatti met with Puharich, Uri Geller, and Ira Einhorn at Puharich's Ossining ranch. Einhorn acted as a literary agent for Sarfatti, and brought him to Esalen. (Sarfatti, Jack, "In the Thick of It")

"I was then simply a young inexperienced naive 'useful idiot' in a very very sophisticated and successful covert psychological warfare operation run by the late Brendan O. Regan of the Institute of Noetic Sciences and the late Harold Chipman who was the CIA station chief responsible for all mind-control research in the Bay Area in the 70's. Chipman (aka "Orwell") funded me openly for awhile in 1985 when he was allegedly no longer in the CIA and covertly before that, and told me much of the story. In fact, he even introduced me to a beautiful woman adventurer-agent who was one of his RV subjects who later became my live-in 'significant other'."

59 (Sarfatti, Jack, "Quantum Quackers")

Some of the topics Sarfatti has researched: ● Orpheus in North Beach ● The God Phone ● In The Thick of it. ● Herb Gold's book, Bohemia ● Matter, Mind and God

(and are documented on his website) include quantum physics, remote-viewing, reverse causality (i.e., "time travel"), and exotic propulsion systems.

Stephan Schwartz

Former Navy officer and psychic researcher. Schwartz helped procure a submarine for a July 1977 experiment with SRI. These experiments included some on behalf of Dale Graff of the Air Force. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 207)

Research associate with the Cognitive Sciences Laboratory.

Dr. Igor Smirnov

Smirnov gave a series of closed meetings in Northern Virginia (starting on 3/17/93) to the FBI, CIA, DIA, and ARPA concerning Russian developments with a device that allegedly implanted thoughts in a

60 subject's mind. The FBI was considering using this device to implant the voice of God in David Koresh's mind -- telling him to surrender.

Other non-intelligence participants included Dr. Christopher Green and Dr. Richard Nakamura of the National Institute of Health [I think he may now be the director].

This technology was supposedly used by the Russians against civilians in Afghanistan and possibly on the Red Army to prepare them for battle.

The American rights to this technology is owned by a Richmond, Virginia company called Psycotechnologies Corp. (Defense Electronics, 7/93. Reprinted in Flatland #11)

As of 1994, Smirnov has worked at Moscow's Institute of Psycho-Correction using subliminal technology as therapy for drug abusers and others. The Institute has been strapped for cash after the fall of the Soviet Union, but it has refused to accept business from the Russian Mafia. (Elliott, Dorinda and Barry, John, "A Subliminal Dr. Strangelove", Newsweek, 8/22/94, pg 57)

Has done work with the Human Potential Foundation and John Alexander.

[Note: I'm not sure how Smirnov's device is supposed to work. Later reports claim it would work using inaudible, subliminal suggestions (spliced into phone conversations in the case of David Koresh). The device is definitely supposed to make the subject "hear" voices as the FBI wanted to use Charlton Heston as the voice of God. This is definitely a different strategy from other subliminal techniques, which are designed to produce mere suggestions.]

Paul Smith

Website [email protected]

Captain Paul Smith joined the operational remote viewing unit at Ft. Meade in 1983. Before joining, he was with an INSCOM operations unit in Germany. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 293)

"Paul served for 7 years in the government's remote-viewing program at Ft. Meade, MD (from September 1983 to August 1990). During 1984, he became one of only a handful of government personnel to be personally trained as coordinate remote-viewers by Ingo Swann at SRI-International. Paul was the primary author of the government RV program's CRV training manual, and served as theory instructor for new CRV trainee personnel as well as recruiting assessment officer and unit security officer. He is credited with over a thousand training and operational remote-viewing sessions during his time with the unit at Ft. Meade."

"Besides his tour at Ft. Meade, his military assignments included Arabic linguist, electronic warfare operator, strategic intelligence officer for a special operations unit, Mid-East desk officer, tactical

61 intelligence officer with the 101st Airborne Division during Desert Shield and Storm, strategic intelligence officer in the Collection Directorate of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and chief of the intelligence and security division for the Military District of Washington from which he retired in 1996." (Buchanan, Lyn, "Mr. 'X' Revealed" Interview on the Art Bell Show 03-25-97 Remote Viewing's Biggest Bugaboo: How we come to think we know what really isn't so

Abstract:

Is it real, or is my mind just making it up? This is always the question remote-viewers must ask themselves. Mental "noise" is the one thing that gets in the way of every attempt to "be psychic". How can you tell the difference between noise and signal? Did you know that there is psychological research that can help us understand this phenomenon... and that there are ways to work around it when we can, and adapt to it when we cannot? Come hear one of the leading teachers of remote-viewing explain what it is, what it ain't, and what you can do about it!

Paul H. Smith Major, U.S. Army (ret.) is President and Chief Instructor for Remote- Viewing Instructional Services, Inc., an Austin, Texas-based company providing training and operational support for remote-viewing, was for 7 years a government remote-viewer, working for the U.S. Army and the Defense Intelligence Agency. Paul was the chief coordinate remote-viewing (CRV) theory instructor for the government program and was primary author of the government CRV manual. He performed hundreds of operational remote-viewing sessions as a government rv-er. Paul is Vice-President of the International Remote-Viewing Association, and is chair of the organizing committee for the Year 2001 Remote-Viewing Conference.

Myron Stolaroff

(Myron Stolaroff & Albert Hoffman, May 2001, Switzerland)

Myron Stolaroff Albert Hoffman May 2001 Switzerland

Russian-born inventor. Founded Ampex, the first manufacturer of magnetic tape-recording equipment, supposedly based on German equipment that Stolaroff acquired in WWII.

Stolaroff retired and concentrated on LSD research, founding the International Foundation for Advanced Study and leading seminars at the Esalen Institute. (Anderson, Walter Truett, The Upstart Spring, Addison-Wesley Publishing, 1983, pg 72)

62 "Stolaroff was born in Roswell, New Mexico on August 20, 1920. He received a B.A. and then, in 1942, a M.S. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford. After working for the Navy's Bureau of Ships during World War II, he pioneered in the magnetic recording field at Ampex.

"He and others in 1960 opened the International Foundation for Advanced Studies, researching LSD and mescaline reactions until the mid-1960s. During the 1970s, he was general manager of Multi-Media Productions in the San Francisco Bay area. Currently, he has retired to write." (Stafford, Peter, Introduction to Psychedlic Musings)

Turned on to LSD by Alfred Hubbard, Stolaroff continued his studies privately after LSD and other drugs were criminalized. During his latter days at Ampex, he tried to use LSD to stimulate the creativity of the employees. He chronicles his experiences in Thanatos to Eros: 35 Years of Psychedelic Exploration, Thaneros Press, 1994. Former director and current secretary of the Albert Hoffman Foundation. Special consultant to the Heffter Research Institute.

Gen. Albert Stubblebine

Former head of the U.S. Army Intelligence & Security Command (INSCOM) 1981-84. Masters degree in chemical engineering from Columbia. Signed classified contracts with the Monroe Institute. (Emerson, Steven, Secret Warriors, G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1988, pg 103-4).

Stubblebine often met with [Panama dictator] Noriega while he was a U.S. intelligence asset. (Emerson, 1988, pg 110-1)

Former boss of Col. John Alexander, and the two have held numerous "spoon-bending" parties.

Friends with Lyn Buchanan [according to a representative from PSI TECH, the two are not friends]. Married to ufologist Rima Laibow. (Porter, Tom, Government Research into ESP & Mind Control, March, 1996)

Soon after becoming head of INSCOM, Stubblebbine began a program called the "High Performance Task Force" -- a series of methods to improve his officer's performance. These ranged 63 from the neuro-linquistic programming of Tony Robbins to the hemisynch tapes of the Monroe Institute where Stubblebine often sent his officers. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 276)

The "spoon-bending parties" were initiated by West Coast defense industry consultant Jack Houck. (Schnabel, 1997, pg 278)

Following an incident involving an officer having a psychotic episode at the Monroe Institute, Stubblebine resigned in 1984. He was replaced by Major General Harry Soyster. (Schnabel, 1997, pg 316)

"Formerly Vice-President for 'Intelligence Systems' of BDM of McClean, Virginia." As of 1992, Chairman of PSI-TECH.

"Laibow, Stubblebine and ufologist Victoria Lacas (with [C.B. Scott] Jones in the shadows) toured Europe and the Soviet Union, where they have established a prodigious UFO/Psi network." (Durant, Robert J., "Will the Real Scott Jones Please Stand Up?")

Stubblebine gave a lecture at the International Symposium on UFO Research, sponsored by the International Association for New Science in Denver, Colorado (May 22-25, 1992). This gives a good example of Stubblebine's coherence (or lack there of) and paranoia (he often threatened to destroy the tape). Stubblebine claimed that none of the members of the remote-viewing program had prior psychic abilities or interests (all other sources state that they did).

Ingo Swann

New York artist and subject in many psychic experiments.

Swann served in the U.S. Army from 1955-8, primarily in the Far East and Korea. I don't know the nature of his service, but he describes his work as being with the highest echelons of the military and he retained a Top-Secret clearance from his tour of duty.

From 1958-68, he worked in the Secretariat of the United Nations. After leaving to pursue a career in writing and art, he became involved in a circle of parapsychologists.

He has been a longtime friend of Robert Monroe of the Monroe Institute and began working with Cleve Backster in September, 1971.

"At some point, I don't remember when exactly, Backster mentioned something along the following lines: 'Boy, are the guys down at the CIA going to be interested in you!'"

64 (Swann, Ingo, Remote Viewing - The Real Story! (Insider Tales of America's Superpsychic Spies), 1996)

Ingo Swann heard about Hal Puthoff's proposal to study the basis of life processes through Cleve Backster. Swann wrote Puthoff (3/30/72) and suggested that he research psychic abilities. Swann met with Puthoff in June, 1972 (Targ, Russell and Puthoff, Harold E, Mind Reach, Delacorte Press, 1977, pg 18-9).

Swann then became the subject for a series of remote viewing studies with Puthoff and Russell Targ at SRI.

Swann came to California on 6/4/72 and to SRI 2 days later when he allegedly telekinetically perturbed a shielded magnetometer. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 88-9)

Swann returned to SRI in October when he did some clairvoyance tests. Some of these tests were observed by 2 CIA agents who set up a 8-month pilot program with SRI. Swann began this contract a few days before Christmas, 1972. (Schnabel, 1997, pg 97-99)

Swann left SRI in mid-August, 1973 when the CIA contract ran out. Reportedly, he left angry and vowed never to return. (Schnabel, 1997, pg 127-8)

After leaving SRI, Swann did some work with the American Society for Psychical Research and the Maimonides Dream Laboratory. He also worked for Bill Keeler (chairman of Philips Petroleum) to try to find oil deposits. After Pat Price left SRI, Swann returned in the fall of 1974 as a consultant with the incentive of more money and creative freedom. (Schnabel,1997, pg 173-4)

Through the late 1970s and early 80s, Swann developed a strict protocol for remote-viewing which he used to train new Center Lane recruits in 1983. In the summer of 1984, Swann moved this training course to New York. (Schnabel, 1997, pg 305) According to author John Wilhelm, Swann was a Scientologist at OT Level VII -- the highest level at the time. Reportedly, Swann helped establish Scientology's "Celebrity Center" in Los Angeles. (Wilhelm, John, "Psychic Spying?", Washington Post 8/7/77, B1)

According to Peter Tomkins and Christopher Bird, Swann "attributes his success to techniques he learned in Scientology". (Tompkins, Peter and Bird, Christopher, The Secret Life of Plants, Harper and Row, 1973, pg 29)

Swann and Puthoff attended the First International Congress on Psychotronic Research in Prague, Czechoslovakia. "Ingo was there to present a paper on the Scientology paradigm as model for developing and exploring paranormal abilities." (Targ, Russell and Puthoff, Harold E, pg 42) This paper is entitled "Scientological Techniques: A Modern Paradigm for the Exploration of Consciousness and Psychic Integration" in Proceedings of the First International Congress on Psychotronic Research (Virginia: U.S. Joint Publications Research Service, 9/6/74, Document No. JPRS L/5022-1)

Swann had previously stated that he would never work for intelligence agents for fear of his life (Uri Geller has made similiar statments). He has recently stated that Puthoff never told him of the CIA

65 sponsorship of the SRI studies until 12/29/95, but that it was common knowledge around the lab. (Swann, Ingo, "The Emergence of Project 'SCANATE'")

"In 1983, Ingo Swann -- under the direction of Dr. Harold Puthoff at SRI -- realized a breakthrough - - i.e., he developed an accurate model of how the collective unconscious communicates (target) information to conscious awareness. Swann believed that the ability to remote-view -- like language -- is an innate faculty -- a birthright -- but must be learned to be effective. Swann's model provided a rigid set of instructions which theoretically allowed anyone to actually be trained to produce accurate, detailed target data. To test the model, the Army sent Major [Ed] Dames and 5 others to Swann as a prototype trainee group." Swann parted with this group in late 1983. ("Ed Dames Sets the Record Straight")

Friends with Rep. Charlie Rose. (Schnabel, Jim, 1997, pg 271)

Swann left the program in 1988. He can be reached care of Thomas Burgin at [email protected].

Russell Targ

"Russell Targ is a senior research physicist at Stanford Research Institute, having joined their electronics and bioengineering laboratory in 1972. Prior to that, he spent 10 years in laser and plasma physics research with Sylvania Corporation developing gas lasers... He is also president of the Parapsychology Research Group, Inc. in Palo Alto, California." (Mitchell, Edgar, Psychic Exploration, G.P. Putnam's Sons, 1974, pg 522-3)

Partner with Hal Puthoff in the SRI remote-viewing project (see SRI's page for more details.)

"I have had dealings with Andrija Puharich intermittently since 1965.."

66 "I could remember back to my own activities at 19 when I was earning money performing magic.." (Targ & Puthoff, 1977, pg 137)

Brother-in-law of former World Chess Champion Bobby Fischer. Interestingly, one of Fischer's opponents -- Boris Spassky -- claimed he lost a match because he was being beamed with confusion rays. (Becker, Robert and Selden, Gary, The Body Electric, Quill, 1985, pg 322)

"In May 1982, Elisabeth Targ and I (R.T.) were invited to hold a workshop at Esalen Institute for a group of 25 professional men and women." This was part of a program with Stanislav Grof, who was studying non-chemical alternatives for altered states of consciousness. The Targs' goal was to show that psychic experiences did not require an altered state. (Targ and Harary, pg 99)

In 1982, Targ left SRI and founded Delphi Associates with Keith Harary. Delphi Associates was a consultancy which sought to apply psi to finding oil, gas, etc. Using Harary as a viewer, they claimed to have successfully traded in the silver market. (Targ and Harary, pg 176)

In Spring, 1982, Targ turned in a research report to his DIA contract manager at SRI, Jim Salyer. Salyer and the DIA considered his work to be unprofessional and they soon refused to pay his salary.

Under SRI rules, Targ had 8 months to find new funding. In early 1983, he left SRI, reportedly claiming that he left because he didn't like the military applications of psychic research. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 264)

After leaving SRI, he toured the World with Keith Harary including traveling to many Communist countries (which made some in the DIA very nervous).

Before officially leaving SRI, Targ -- along with Harary and businessman Tony White -- founded Delphi Associates. Their first project was to develop a psi-related game for Atari. But Atari went under before the deal was completed. Delphi then went on to try to predict silver futures on the market. After several reported successes, there were 2 misses which scared off their investor. Each blamed each other for the failure, and the argument went public during a lecture Harary gave at the Esalen Institute. The feud continued into the 1990s. (Schnabel, 1997, pg 264-6)

Russell Targ is now apparently working with Lockheed Martin Missiles & Space Co., where his work deals with using lasers to determine wind patterns. In April, 1996, he co-chaired a session on "Advanced Sensor Technologies" at the Aerospace/Defense Sensing and Controls conference. He is also identified as being with the Bay Research Institute, 1010 Harriet St., Palo Alto, CA 94301 and was involved with the Physics/Consciousness Research Group.

Why I Teach Remote Viewing?

Abstract: Since ancient times, spiritual teachers have described paths and practices that a person could follow to achieve health, happiness, and peace of mind. A considerable body of recent research indicates that any kind of spiritual practice is likely to improve one's prognosis for recovering from a serious illness. Many of these approaches to spirituality involve learning to quiet the mind, rather than adhering to a prescribed religious belief. These meditative practices are inherent aspects of Buddhism, Hinduism, mystical Christianity, Kabalistic Judaism, Sufism, and other mystic paths.

What is indicated in the subtext of these teachings is that as one learns to quiet his-or-her mind, one is likely to encounter psychic-like experiences or perceptions. For example, in The Sutras of Patanjali, the Hindu master tells us that on the way to transcendence we may experience many kinds of amazing visions such as the ability to see into the distance or into the Future. And to diagnose illnesses, and also to cure them. However, we are admonished not to become attached to these abilities -- that they are mere phenomena standing as stumbling blocks on the path to enlightenment.

In this paper, I will describe my recent experience in teaching remote-viewing at 3 workshops in Italy in which we emphasize expanded awareness of who we are, rather than an ability to find car keys and parking spaces. Our spiritual approach did not interfere with all 3 of these groups, demonstrating highly significant remote-viewing in a double-blind setting.

Russell Targ is a physicist and author who was a pioneer in the development of the laser, and co- founder of the Stanford Research Institute's investigation into psychic abilities in the 1970s and 1980s. He is co-author of Mind Reach: Scientists Look at Psychic Abilities and The Mind Race: Understanding and Using Psychic Abilities. Targ recently retired from Lockheed Martin as a senior staff scientist where he developed laser technology for peaceful applications. During the past few years, he co- authored with Jane Katra Miracles of Mind: Exploring Non-local Consciousness and Spiritual Healing and The Heart of the Mind: How to Experience God Without Belief. Russell is the President of the International Remote-Viewing Association.

Ed Thompson

Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence (ACSI), U.S. Army, 1977-81. During this time, he was briefed by SRI on the remote-viewing program. After having tried it himself, viewing a Masonic temple near the target train station, Thompson set up Project 'Grill Flame' at Fort Meade.

Thompson left the Army in 1985 and is in retirement in Maine. ("Psi-Files: The Real X-Files", written and narrated by Jim Schnabel) Thompson was replaced as ACSI in 1981 by Major Gen William Odom. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 54)

Jack Verona

Former nuclear physicist, high-ranking Pentagon scientist. Former head of the DIA's Scientific and Technical Intelligence Directorate. In this capacity, he oversaw the funding and tasking of 'Grill Flame'. Another project he oversaw (codenamed 'Sleeping Beauty') dealt with researching microwaves and how they effect the human mind. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote-Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 220)

Friends with Rep. Charlie Rose. (Schnabel, 1997, pg 271)

Reportedly the former boss of Michael Persinger. He retired in late 1989. Aviary, codename: Raven

Dr. Louis "Jolly" West

Air Force Major, chairman of the Psychiatry Department of UCLA, director of the Neuro- Psychiatric Institute, expert in hypnosis.

West was a veteran of the CIA's MK-ULTRA mind-control program and worked on interrogation techniques using hypnosis and LSD. West once killed an elephant by grossly overestimating a dose of LSD (elsewhere, I have heard that the tranquilizers required to calm the animal caused its death).

West also studied the returning American POWs from Korea for the effects of brainwashing. (Scheflin, Alan and Opton, Edward Jr., The Mind Manipulators, Paddington Press Ltd, 1978, pg 149-50)

Friends with Aldous Huxley. It was Huxley who suggested that West combine LSD and hypnosis in his experiments. (Lee, Martin and Schlain, Bruce, Acid Dreams, Grove Press, 1985, pg 48)

West was to be the administrator of California Governor Ronald Reagan's proposed Violence Center at UCLA. The threat of psychosurgery along with West's desire to acquire a closed Nike Missile base derailed the plan. (Scheflin and Opton, pg 318-20)

West examined Jack Ruby in prison after his assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald, concluded that he suffered from paranoid delusions and prescribed medication. West was also a defense expert at the Patty Hearst trial.

According to an anonymous BBC television reporter, West headed up the medical oversight for the Ft. Meade remote-viewing operational unit. (Constantine, Alex, "'Remote-Viewing' at Stanford Research Institute or Illicit CIA Mind Control Experimentation?")
