From: asljl@orion.alaska.edu (Lady-Rhavyn) Subject: Government and Psi Date: 1 Dec 94 18:42:50 AST Organization: University of Alaska Message-ID: <1994Dec1.184250.1@orion.alaska.edu> This was sent to me from someone.. sometime ago I got this from the Fortean Research Center BBS. Most interesting to note is that our own Attorney General, Ms. Reno attended. Who knows what treats we are in store for as far as domestic crowd & riot control goes? I received the following brochure from a source who wishes to remain anonymous along with the instructions to post it on the computer networks immediately. It concerns an upcoming classified Conference at Johns Hopkins University on Non-Lethal Technology and is sponsored by Los Alamos National Laboratory. The featured speakers are to be the Nobel Laureate physicist, Dr. Edward Teller; the Former Military Advisor to President Bush, LTG Richard G. Trefry, USA (Ret.), and the current Secretary General of the United States, Janet Reno. The conference is to be chaired by Dr. John Alexander, the Program Manager for Non-Lethal Defense, Los Alamos National Laboratory. The brochure itself looks to be authentic and carried no indication of being in any way classified or restricted (if it is I guess I'll find out soon enough). If anyone can confirm this event I'd appreciate hearing from them. Bob Dunn P.O. Box 94627 Lincoln, Ne. 68509 Fidonet 1:285/205 BEGIN TEXT NON-LETHAL DEFENSE a classified Conference sponsored by Los Alamos National Laboratory With the support of the American Defense Preparedness Association Kossiakoff Center Applied Physics Laboratory Johns Hopkins University, Laurel MD November 16 - 17, 1993 OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE Non-lethal defense has emerged as a potent new means of applying force and giving commanders a wider array of options. The purpose of a non- lethal defense is to inhibit an enemies ability to prosecute a war or engage in other hostile actions. Non-lethal defense is an approach that explores options for attacking targets of strategic value, including nontraditional foes such as terrorists and international drug traffickers. Non-lethal weapons offer new options to meet rapidly changing security requirements for the United States. These devices are providing for the first time a wide range of choices for planners negotiating the drastically changing security challenges confronting the United States. Non-lethal concepts are currently being developed by th U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps. The focus is on providing technologies that support conventional operations and have applicability across the continuum of conflict. Many of these techniques are designed to degrade the threat infrastucture in support of parallel warfare objectives. Different organizations have different approaches to the concept of non- lethal defense as well as use of different terminology. In essence, non-lethal defense is an emerging technological option being developed conceptionally with a sea of technical opportunity. The purpose of this Conference is to bring together industry, government and academia to explore the potential of non-lethal defense and identify requirements so that the defense community can work together in leveraging the non-lethal concept. Industry, particularly, will benefit from a more precise understanding of requirements and operational constraints regarding non-lethal defense technologies. All attendees will have the opportunity to embrace a new perspective in international relations. The Conference Sessions Are Secret, U.S. Only.

Lady R. Wellcome, and here is is you learn. if you have psi talent whic I dare say it sounds as though you do, things that leave a presence offten effect the awaken psi more than those with latent talents that sleeps. The governement is trying to use to it's benifit yes, but to what extent I cannot say. I would hazzard to say that you are awakened and in being so have begun to feel the psi that pulses through our world. Called Psi Radiation, what is left of minds after they die, and what people with sleeping talents give off from day to day life. You have to learn to shield your self and seal your home as well... But not like a metal sheild or a closed mind, it is open and yet the sheild created filters out the " noise " and doens't effect one so badly, allowing for a, as much as possible normal life, unless something strong interferes. Also college campuses are not exactly healthy for a awakened psi. The place I find is " psychically muddy" filled with much despair, desperation, anguish, saddness, and stress, sometimes also angry colors as well. A tiring place that can and does run people like us ragged. This is what I is what I would like you to do, ( Mind you I am no guru, nor expert, just speaking from experience ) People with psi must heal themselves in emotion, spirit, soul, heart and mind. You cannot use your talents to it's potential if you have baggage you haven't delt with. A good book for the start of self healing is called: Way Of the Peacful Warrior, by Dan Millman There are two books after this one, while I admit I have never read it, I have seen what it has done for some dear people close to my heart. The results from the reading of this series seems to have healing benifits. You need a shield. Not an impregnible one or one you can't see around,but one you that allows you to be safe within your own space in or out of the home. Lesson 0: Leave what you believe, or think or believe you might think you know about this relam for the moment and open your mind to new things for a time. Lesson 1: All is not what it seems, and the world called Mother Earth is truly alive with the life energy of the planet. Lesson 2: The " Force " is a real thing, it is not some made up thing. We and all things are connected through the life force of the planet. It is this which psi and all other forms of metaphysics draws upon. Lesson 3: You have within you 8 energy centers called chakras. The places upon wich they dwell is this: RED: The chakra upon which you sit. At your tail bone ( Primal Survival Chakra) ORANGE: The chakra upon where sex organs are ( Primal Survival Chakra ) YELLOW: The chakra where the womb, bladder intestines are ( Primal Survial Chakra) GREEN: The Heart and Solar Plexis Chakra BLUE: The Voice box and communications Chakra INDIGO: The Third Eye Chakra PURPLE: This one is centered directly in middle of the skull, called the Brain center Chakra WHITE: The chakra right above your head centered over the brain chakra. Lesson 4: You always draw up from the earth to the " BEING ( GOD/DESS FIGURE of your choice ) " above in clockwise motion. Never down from " BEING ( GOD/DESS FIGURE of your choice), the reason being said that you might invite upon yourself things or spirits from the relam above, where as the energy that flows beneath us is the energy of the mother earth, pure and clean. Lesson 5: Patience is the name of the game. Lesson 6: Now you know and are ready to begin s-l-o-w-l-y! First relax, learn to let your mind quite, leave if you must and go somewhere where there is quiet, a beach or a lake, or in the woods or somewhere quiet. Just listen to the world around you... let the days or nights happens just melt into the Earth. Lay down if you want. Now placing your hands palms down flat on the ground...Take Three Deep Breaths, In the mouth out the nose, pausing for a count of three between inhaling and exhaling. Fill your lungs and feel your heart beating. Try to feel the pulse in your chest and other parts of your body. Do this until it becomes easy to do without hard concentration. Lesson 7: WRITE DOWN YOUR DREAMS AND GET A GOOD DREAM DICTIONARY! Lesson 8: Ok, after what I hope has been a couple of weeks of learning to relax and breathing and getting to KNOW yourself. You are ready for the bubble effect. Your body is like a battery, positve and negative poles. You can form through you a bubble of energy from the " force " This can be used in time as a shield, but first you have to learn how to build it, then you can add to it's size, and what jobs you want it to do, or surround you. Now remember up from mother earth, through you to the " All that Is ( as I call it)" above your head.... Start with the breathing, in mouth and out nose, you can breath a little less deeper after three so you don't get dizzy. Now place your hands wide apart, palms facing eachother. Your arms should be resting at about a 90 degree angle just about the bottom of your ribs or so. ( some people do have longer arms than others ) Your hands should be about foot apart. Now imagine that your body is a battery, ( by the way sit down on the ground or floor to fo this, preferably indian style ) Mother Earth is one side of the connection, the " All that Is" the other connection, like a flashlight. Don't forget to do the breathing... Ok now imagine mother earth connecting to you, amd through you each chakra connect to the next, first Mother Earth to Red, then red to orange, then Red Orange, Yellow, to Green, then Red, orange, yellow, green to blue to indigo to purple to white.... end part 1 Then next part is on it's way.... I want to be sure I don't have to retype this by getting kicked off the modem by an incoming call.... Blessed Be Lady Rhavyn I am not bragging here, and by all means I am not a expert, these are only things I have observed about myself and things that I am aware of.. I thought I would add it to answer one of the questions which tends to be " Who the Hell ARE you?" Lady R. First psi is not a power it's an ability within the human being. but as to the extent and capability of my own psi ability? Well let's get started.... I will be sending something I give to all people who write to me and want to to know how do I do it! Let's start with the least and go to the strong Emapthy: I was a good one about 4 years ago, but lack of knowledge and in ability to deal with it, caused a burn out, or rather a receeding of the ability. It has begun to surface again, but is very intermittent and very unreliable. Telepathy: I can " send loudly " so I have been told, but I can recieve very little. Some time I do " hear " but very rarely and it's not a strong ability Dream Precognition: Minor, intermittent... not reliable Telekenesis: Well I either have Angles on my shoulders or it kicks in when I am in danger. Proof of this is four car accidents where the car bent around me, and I have no visual or physical damage.. Psychometry: Minor flashes, not very accurate, but enough to notice. Awake Precogntion: Sometimes I know something is going to happen before it does because I get a flash of what is about to occur... sometimes it's only intuition and feeling, sometimes it's the full lenghth feature film. Telepathy with animals: Decent, Animals think is picture and feeling so it's easy to understand them if you take the time to listen, and they can receive also... Remote Viewing: Now this is my strongest talent. I have been to England, and I have been to california.. with out BEING there. The mind had the ability to fold time and space, this is what happens when remote viewing occurs. I am 80 nto 90 percent accurate... so I have been told... Using cards I get about 40 to 50 percent right... average I think Well there's that, now you know, it's your turn.... Blessed Be! Lady Rhavyn Okay, now for what little I can contribute. First the disclaimer. This data is at least six years old, and may be EXTREMELY out of date. I have no paperwork, or anything that would stand up in a court of law. ( Or even a basketball court.). During the Carter Administration, the upper echleons of the Western Intelligence system were reorganized. The CIA was stripped of ACTIVE covert operatives, and returned to its original task as a center for information compilation, and analysis; they get all data from spy technology, worldwide and create a on going database. Active HUMAN intelligence training and missions were transfered over to Delta Command, which includes military training and operations, in a full human resources orgnizational grouping. Durning this time all paranomral research and development programs were removed from Military, Intelligence, and Academic control and placed under the co-ordination and oversight of Strategic Tele-weapons Advanced Research and Operational Development ( S.T.A.R.O.D. ), including the CIA's Paranormal training and medical center ( designated CLINC during the seventies, and recoded HOSPITAL, during the reorganization ) located in Maine. Substantial research and development was done accomplished, which allowed natural psi-sensatives ( who worked for the government ) to bring their talents to peak strength. The training NET included a standing operation to recruit any and all persons exhibiting above normal paranormal ability, and control. Recruitment involved ( domestic U.S. ) sending low-level, regional low sensative psi-individuals to all New-age, Pagan, and other public gatherings and groups to test and "feel" for untrained, unrecruited individuals, who would "involved" in the program. Some time during the middle eighties, a group of trained, deep-intelligence paranormals went rogue, refusing to use their abilities for Psi-esiponage. This action caused the government to begin the development of anti-psi technology, including the Suicide/Compulsion psychometry strategy ( telepathically saturating specific map locations with feelings of depression, and feelings of helplessness, compelling ANYONE with untrained psi ability to suicide.), the selective RF bombardment tactic ( sychronizing low level electro-magnetic fields and Radio Freceuncys to the molecular resonant frecquency of the brain's neuro-receptors ), etc.,. You can pretty much carry on the line of thought from here, with the data provided in the Confrence agenda. The one that bothers me is the Bioweapons and structural ceramics combined research out of Idaho. The human body doesn't reject cermaic material. It looks like they want to implant or possibly " improve" the human race. Part 2 Continuation of Lesson 8: Now that you have gotten into sink as it were and the energy is humming through you, feel the enrgy between your hands. You should be able to feel a resistance between them, like when you have magents pushing away from eachother. That's the energy bubble. Play with it, see how small or big you can make it, experiment... Lesson 9: Putting the energy to rest ( turning off the flashlight ) Now that you have played enough with it... it's to put it away... How do you turn it off? face your palms down and place them on the ground... breath out 1 large fast deep breath. See the energy and you the battery draining down into mother earth... you are switching off the battery power to the " All that IS " or the light in the flashlight " and returning the excess to miother earth.... now left your hands off the ground, snap your fingers.. this is a signal for the energies to go off and do what ever energies do... ( yes I know how this sounds... I must be nuts right? NOT!!!!) and to teach your self when it's over... then shake oout your hands like you would to dry them off from excess water... take another deep centering breath and look around you to remember where you are... sometimes if you get into it too much you forget where you were for a momnets time... happens to the best of us... Lesson 10... You're done, and remember what I wrote to you, and try to get some calming music, try to not listen to so much rap or hard rock, etc... a psi mind needs calm...so does the body. Try Enya, Clannad, classical music, Kenny G. That sort of thing, Oh some pop rock, contry music, and rock is ok, but not all the time. Incense help too. Sandalwood, pepermint, cinnamon.. those are good to clear the air as it were, so are plants... well this should help you out... Write me and let me know how you are doing ok? Blessed Be Lady Rhavyn These are some frequently asked questions and here's how I answer them.. It should be noted that each person see's it differently and has a different opinion on how to answer them Hello... 1. How do you know if you have psionic abilities? My husband says when your life consists of more than 75% coincidence, your psychic.. Things you should pay attention to, When you know who is on the phone and your just about to pick it up, dreams that come true is a form of precognition. The best way to find out is to experiment.. and see what happens. 2. Does everyone have them? I believe that everyone has them, but I also think that it is lattent and sleeps in some and is awake in some.. but it's not always that easy to tell who's psi is awake and whose is awake... 3. How do you know when a supposed psionic ability is real or not? Test it... if it happens more offten than not, then it's an abilitiy And 4... my favorite How do I know whether I have the psi power... It's not a power, like superman or the x-men... it's an ability within the human mind that isn't always used.. remember we only use about 10 to 15% of our brain capacity... I am posting in response to the articles on government and psi. I notice there hasn't been much response to those yet, I'm a little suprised, considering the content of those articles. First of all, I wanted to talk about one of the highly placed members of the Avariy who called Gen. Stubblebineine "Gen. Spoonbender" and then trashed Stubblebine's reputation and psi-tech. Later, however, the same source said that he and John Alexander were "friends". I guess it's not so easy to trash Alexander's reputation, seeing how he's so highly placed, (i.e. Director of Non-Lethal programmes at Los Alamos National Labs, friends with the vice president, etc. Not to mention he gave a speech at this classified conference..) Notice how Alexandar is also on the board of psi-tech, though. Now why would Alexander risk his reputation by associating himself with a company of con artists? Anyone want to clarify this for me? Also, about the little spiel about how the government is using satanic rituals to contact non-human intelligences (NHI). The author concluded that these scientists were feeding him misinformation, since they didn't come forward to the New York Times or Nightline, and instead came to some obscure ufologist. First of all, I don't think the New York Times is going to print something like this without evidence. I don't think a reputable news orginzation is going to spread this around on an anonymous tip. Another point against the scientists' story is the fact that they continued to work on projects they considered unethical. Since this has already ventured into the truly bizarre, isn't there a possibility that the scientists did not HAVE the option to quit. Who knows... It just seems to me there was an explanation for why the scientists did what they did and not more. (Of course, if the government really did go that far, it's a wonder they didn't catch even a small leak like that.) I don't know, this is quite a strech, like most of the stuff posted in the alt.para groups. ANYONE care to comment on these articles? (LOBSTER magazine, which specialises in intelligence and conspiracy matters, is published twice yearly.) NON-LETHALITY: JOHN B. ALEXANDER, THE PENTAGON'S PENGUIN By Armen Victorian On April 22, 1993, both BBC1 and BBC2 showed on their main evening news bulletins a rather lengthy piece concerning America's latest development in weaponry - the non-lethal weapons concept. David Shukman, BBC Defence Correspondent interviewed (Retired) U.S. Army Colonel John B. Alexander and Janet Morris, two of the main proponents of the concept (1). The concept of non-lethal weapons is not new. Non-lethal weapons have been used by the intelligence, police and defence establishments in the past (2). Several western governments have used a variety of non-lethal weapons in a more discreet and covert manner. It seems that the U.S. government is about to take the first step towards their open use. The current interest in the concept of non-lethal weapons began about a decade ago with John Alexander. In December 1980 he published an article in the U.S. Army's journal, MILITARY REVIEW, "The New Mental Battlefield," referring to claims that telepathy could be used to interfere with the brain's electrical activity. This caught the attention of senior Army generals who encouraged him to pursue what they termed "soft option kill" technologies. After retiring from the Army in 1988, Alexander joined the Los Alamos National Laboratories and began working with Janet Morris, the Research Director of the U.S. Global Strategy Council (USGSC), chaired by Dr Ray Cline, former Deputy Director of the CIA (3). I examine the background of Janet Morris and John Alexander in more detail below. Throughout 1990 the USGSC lobbied the main national laboratories, major defence contractors and industries, retired senior military and intelligence officers. The result was the creation of a Non-lethality Policy Review Group, led by Major General Chris S. Adams, USAF (retd.) former Chief of Staff, Strategic Air Command (4). They already have the support of Senator Sam Nunn, chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee. According to Janet Morris, the military attache at the Russian Embassy has contacted USGSC about the possibility of converting military hardware to a non-lethal capability. In 1991 Janet Morris issued a number of papers giving more detailed information about USGSC's concept of non-lethal weapons (5). Shortly after, the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command at Fort Monroe, VA, published a detailed draft report on the subject titled "Operations Concept for Disabling Measures." The report included over twenty projects in which John Alexander is currently involved at the Los Alamos national Laboratories. In a memorandum dated April 10, 1991, titled "Do we need a Non-lethal Defense initiative?" Paul Wolfwitz, Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, wrote to Defense Secretary Dick Cheney, "A U.S. lead in non-lethal technologies will increase our options and reinforce our position in the post- Cold War world. Our Research and Development efforts must be increased." HOW LETHAL IS NON-LETHAL? To support their non-lethal weapons concept, Janet Morris argues that while "war will always be terrible... a world power deserving its reputation for humane action should pioneer the principles of non-lethal defense (6)." In "Defining a non-lethal strategy," she seeks to establish a doctrine for the use of non-lethal weapons by the U.S. in crisis "at home or abroad in a life serving fashion." She totally disregards the offensive, lethal aspects inhereent in some of the weapons in question, or their misuse, should they become available to "rogue" nations. Despite her arguments that non-lethal weapons should serve the U.S.'s interests "at home and abroad by projecting power without indiscriminately taking lives or destroying property (7)," she admits that "casualties cannot be avoided (8)." Closer examination of the types of weapons to be used as non-lethal invalidates her assertions about their non-lethality. According to her white paper, the areas where non-lethal weapons could be useful are "regional and low inensity conflict (adventurism, insurgency, ethnic violence, terrorism, narco- trafficking, domestic crime) (9)." She believes that "by identifying and requiring a new category of non-lethal weapons, tactics and strategic planning" the U.S. can reshape its military capability "to meet the already identifiable threats" that they might face in a multipolar world "where American interests are globalized and American presence widespread (10)." THE POTENTIAL INVENTORY Janet Morris' "White Paper" recommends "two types of life-conserving technologies": ANTI-MATERIAL NON-LETHAL TECHNOLOGIES To destroy or impair electronics, or in other ways stop mechanical systems from functioning. Amongst current technologies from which this category of non- lethal weapons would or could be chosen are: * Chemical and bilogical weapons for their anti-materiel agents "which do not significantly endanger life or the environment, or anti- personnel agents which have no permanent effects (11)." * Laser blinding systems to incapacitate the electronic sensors, or optics, i.e. light detection and ranging. Already the Army Infantry School is developing a one-man portable and operated laser weapons system known as the Infantry Self-Defense System. The U.S. Army's Armament Research, Development and Engineer Center (ARDEC), is also engaged in the development of non-lethal weapons under their program called "Low Collateral Damage Munitions" (LCDM). The LCDM is trying to develop technolgies leading to weapons capable of dazzling and incapacitating missiles, armoured vehicles and personnel. * Non-lethal electromagnetic technolgies. * Non-nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse weapons (12). As General Norman Schwartzkopf has told the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, one such weapons stationed in space with a wide-area-pulse capacity has the ability to fry enemy electronics. But what would be the fate of enemy personnel in such a scenario? In a join project with the Los Alamos National Laboratories and with technical support from the Army's Harry Diamond Laboratories, ARDEC are developing High Power Microwave (HPM) Projectiles. According to ARDEC, the Diamond lab has already "completed a radio frequency effects analysis on a representative target set" for (HPM). * Among the chemical agents, so-called supercaustics - "Millions of times more caustic than hydrofluric acid (13)" - are prime candidates. An artillery round could deliver jellied super-acids which could destroy the optics of heavily armoured vehicles or tanks, vision blocks or glass, and "could be used to silently destroy key weapons systems (14)." On less lethal aspects the use of net-like entanglements for SEAL teams, or "stealthy" metal boats with low or no radar signature, "for night actions, or any seaborne or come-ashore stealthy scenario" are under consideration (15). More colourful concepts are the use of chemical metal embrittlement, often called liquid metal embrittlement and anti-materiel polymers which would be used in aerosol dispersal systems, spreading chemical adhesives or lubricants (i.e. Teflon-based lubricants) on enemy equipment from a distance. ANTI-PERSONNEL NON-LETHAL TECHNOLOGIES * Hand-held lasers which are menat "to dazzle," could also cause the eyeball to explode and to blind the target. * Isotropic radiators - explosively driven munitions, capable of generating very bright omni-directional light, with similar effects to laser guns. * High-power microwaves (HPM) - U.S. Special Operations command already has that capability within their grasp as a portable microwave weapon (16). As Myron L. Wolbarsht, a Duke University opthalamist and expert in laser weapons stated: "U.S. Special Forces can quietly cut enemy communications but also can cook internal organs (17)." * Another candidate is Infrasound - acoustic beams. In conjunction with the Scientific Applications and Research Associates (SARA) of Huntingdon, California, ARDEC and Los Alamos laboratories are busy "developing a high power, very low frequency acoustic beam weapons." They are also looking into methods of projecting non-diffracting (i.e. non- penetrating) high frequency acoustic bullets. ARDEC scientists are also looking into methods of using pulsed chemical lasers. This class of lasers could project "a hot, high pressure plasma in the air in front of a target surface, creating a blast wave that will result in variable but controlled effects on materiel and personnel." * Infrasound. Alrady some governments have used it as a means of crowd control - e.g. France. * Very low frequency (VLF) sound (20-35 KHz), or low- frequency RF modulations can cause nausea, vomiting and abdominal pains. "Some very low frequency sound generators, in certain frequency ranges, can cause the disruption of human organs and, at high power levels, can crumble masonry (18)." The CIA had a similar program in 1978 called Operation Pique, which included bouncing radio or microwave signals off the ionosphere to affect mental functions of people in selected areas, including Eastern European nuclear installations (19). JOHN ALEXANDER The entire non-lethal weapon concept opens up a new Pandora's Box of unknown consequences. The main personality behind it is retired Colonel John B. Alexander. Born in New York in 1937, he spent part of his career as a Commander of Green Berets Special Forces in Vietnam, led Cambodian mercenaries behind enemy lines, and took part in a number of clandestine programmes, including Phoenix. He currently holds the post of Director of Non-lethal Programmes in the Los Alamos National Laboratories. Alexander obtained a BaS from the University of Nebraska and an MA from Pepperdine University. In 1980 he was awarded a PhD from Walden University (20) for his thesis "To determine whether or not significant changes in spirituality occur in persons who attended a Kubler-Ross life/death transition workshop during the period June through February 1979." His dissertation committee was chaired by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. He has long been interested in what used to be regarded as "fringe" areas. 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 organisation and a lecturer on Precataclysmic Civilisations (21). Alexander is also a past President and a Board member of the International Association for Near Death Studies; and, with his former wife, Jan Northup, he helped Dr C.B. Scott Jones perform ESP experiments with dolphins (22). PSI-TECH Retired Major General Albert N. Stubblebine (Former Director of U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command) and Alexander are on the board of a "remote viewing" company called PSI-TECH. The company also employs Major Edward Dames (ex Defence Intelligence Agency), Major David Morehouse (ex 82nd Airborne Division), and Ron Blackburn (former microwave scientist and specialist at Kirkland Air Force Base). PSI-TECH has received several government contracts. For example, during the Gulf War crisis the Department for Defense asked it to use remote viewing to locate Saddam's Scud missiles sites. Last year (1992) the FBI sought PSI-TECH's assistance to locate a kidnapped Exxon executive (23). With Major Richard Groller and Janet Morris as his co- authors, Alexander published THE WARRIOR'S EDGE in 1990 (24). The book describes in detail various unconventional methods which would enable the practitioner to acquire "human excellence and optimum performance" and thereby become an invincible warrior (25). The purpose of the book is "to unlock the door to the extraordinary human potentials inherent in each of us. To do this, we, like governments around the world, must take a fresh look at non-traditional methods of affecting reality. We must raise human consciousness of the potential power of the individual body/mind system - the power to manipulate reality. We must be willing to retake control of our past, present, and ultimately, our future (26)." Alexander is a friend of Vice President Al Gore Jnr, their relationship dating back to 1983 when Gore was in Alexander's Neuro- Linguistic Programming (NLP). NLP "presented to selected general officers and Senior Executive Service members (27)" a set of techniques to modify behaviour patterns (28). Among the first generals to take the course was the then Lieutenant General Maxwell Thurman, who later went on to receive his fourth star and become Vice-Chief of Staff at the Army and Commander Southern Command (29). Among other senior participants were Tom Downey and Major General Stubblebine, former Director of the Army Intelligence Security Command. "In 1983, the Jedi master (from the Star Wars movie - author) provided an image and a name for the Jedi Project (30)." Jedi Project's aim was to seek and "construct teachable models of behaviorable/physical excellence using unconventional means (31)." According to Alexander the Jedi Project was to be a follow-up to Neuro-Linguistic Programming skills. By using the influence of friends such as Major General Stubblebine, who was then head of the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command, he managed to fund Jedi. In reality the concept was old hat, re-christened by Alexander. The original idea which was to show how "human will power and human concentration affect performance more than any other single factor (32)" using NLP skills, was the brainchild of three independent people; Fritz Erikson, a Gestalt therapist, Virginia Satir, a family therapist and Erick Erickson, a hypnotist. JANET MORRIS Janet Morris, co-author of THE WARRIOR'S EDGE, is best known as a science fiction writer but has been a member of the New York Academy of Sciences since 1980 and is a member of the Association for Electronic Defense. She is also the Research Director of the U.S. Global Strategy Council (USGSC). She was initiated into the Japanese art of bioenergetics, Joh- re, the Indonesian brotherhood of Subud, and graduated from the Silva course in advanced mind control. She has been conducting remote viewing experiments for fifteen years. She worked on a research project investigating the effects of mind on probability in computer systems. Her husband, Robert Morris, is a former judge and a key member of the American Security Council (33). In a recent telephone conversation with the author (34), Janet Morris confirmed John Alexander's involvement in mind control and psychotronic projects in the Los Alamos National Laboratories. Alexander and his team have recently been working with Dr Igor Smirnov, a psychologist from the Moscow Insitute of Psychocorrelations. They were invited to the U.S. after Janet Morris' visit to Russia in 1991. There she was shown the technique which was pioneered by the Russian Deparment of Psycho-Correction at Moscow Medical Academy. The Russians employ a technique to electronically analyse the human mind in order to influence it. They input subliminal command messages, using key words transmitted in "white noise" or music (35). Using an infrasound very low frequency- type transmission, the acoustic psycho-correction message is transmitted via bone conduction - ear plugs would not restrict the message. To do that would require an entire body protection system. According to the Russians the subliminal messages by-pass the conscious level and are effective almost immediately. C.B. SCOTT JONES Jones is the former assistant to Senator Clairborne Pell (Democrat, Rhode Island). Scott Jones was a member of U.S. Naval Intelligence for 15 years, as well as Assistant Naval Attache, New Delhi, India, in the 1960s. Jones has briefed the President's Scientific Advisory Committee, and has testified before House and Senate Committees on intelligence matters. After the navy he "worked in the private sector research and development community involved in the U.S. government sponsored projects for the Defense Nuclear Agency (DNA), Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command." He has been head of the Rockerfeller Foundation for some time and chairs the American Society for Psychical Research (36). BIRDS OF A FEATHER Alexander and C.B. Jones are members of the AVIARY, a group of intelligence and Department of Defense officers and scientists with a brief to discredit any serious research in the UFO field. Each member of the Aviary bears a bird's name. Jones is FALCON, John Alexander is PENGUIN. One of their agents; a UFO researcher known as William Moore, who was introduced to John Alexander at a party in 1987 by Scott Jones, confessed in front of an audience at a conference held by the MUTUAL UFO NETWORK (MUFON) on July 1, 1989, in Las Vegas, how he was promised inside information by the senior members of the AVIARY in return for his obedience and service to them. He participated in the propagation and dissemination of disinformation fed to him by various members of the AVIARY. He also confessed how he was instructed to target one particular individual, an electronics expert, Dr Paul Bennewitz, who had accumulated some UFO film footage and electronic signals which were taking place in 1980 over the Menzano Weapons Storage areas, at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico. As a result of Moore's involvement, coupled with some surreptitious entries and psychological techniques, Bennewitz ended up in a psychiatric hospital. Just before the publication of my first paper unmasking two members of the AVIARY (37) I was visited by two of their members (MORNING DOVE and HAWK) who had travelled to the U.K. with a message from the senior ranks advising me not to go ahead with my expose. I rejected the proposal. Immediately after the publication of that paper, and with the full knowledge that myself and a handful of colleagues knew the true identities of their members, John B. Alexander confessed that he was indeed a member of the AVIARY, nicknamed PENGUIN. The accuracy of our information was further confirmed to me by yet another member of the AVIARY, Ron Pandolphi, PELICAN. 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. In his book, OUT THERE (38), the NEW YORK TIMES journalist Howard Blum refers to "a UFO Working Group" within the Defense Intelligence Agency. Despite DIA's repeated denials (39), the existence of this working gorup has been confirmed to me by more than one member of the group itself, including an independent source in the Office of Naval Intelligence. The majority of the group's members are senior members of the AVIARY: Dr Christopher Green (BLUEJAY) from the CIA (40), Harold Puthoff (OWL) ex- NSA; Dr Jack Verona (RAVEN) (DoD, one of the initiators of the DIA's Sleeping Beauty project which aimed to achieve battlefield superiority using mind- altering electromagnetic weaponry); John Alexander (PENGUIN) and Ron Pandolphi (PELICAN). The mysterious "Col. Harold E. Phillips" who appears in Blum's OUT THERE is none other than John B. Alexander. John Alexander's position as the Program Manager for Contingency Missions of Conventional Defense Technology, Los Alamos National Laboratories, enabled him to exploit the Department of Defense's Project RELIANCE "which encourages a search for all possible sources of existing and incipient technologies before developing new technology in-house (41)" to tap into a wide range of exotic topics, sometimes using defense contractors, e.g. McDonnel Douglas Aerospce. I have several reports, some of which were compiled before his departure to the Los Alamos National Laboratories when he was with Army Intelligence, which show Alexander's keen interest in any and every exotic subject - UFOs, ESP, psychotronics, anti- gravity devices, near death experiments, psychology warfare and non- lethal weaponry. John Alexander utilises the bank of information he has accumulated to try to develop psychotronic, psychological and mind weaponry. He began thinking about non-lethal weapons a decade ago in his paper "The New Mental Battlefield." He seems to want to become a "Master." If he ever succeeds in this ambition the rest of us ordinary mortals had better watch out. NOTES: 1. Letter dated 2 April, 1993, to author from Mrs Victoria Alexander. 2.

The following note is my own comment on the suggestion in the above article that Col. John Alexander is the true identity of Colonel Hal Phillips discussed in Howard Blum's book "Out There". -Steve> My own reading of Howard Blum's book "out there" suggests that John Alexander is probably *not* the mysterious "Colonel Phillips" cited by Blum, unless biographical details were deliberately scrambled. The book "Warrior's Edge" by Alexander, Morris and Groller states "In 1956 he entered the U.S. Army as a private and retired thirty-two years later as a colonel." Colonel Phillips' bio from "Out There" on the other hand says ...born 1941, Sioux City, Iowa; graduated University of Southern Illinois, engineering degree and ROTC; entered the Army as a first lieutenant and decided to become a carreer officer..." Probably not the same guy. Steve Thank You for explaining a key motivation in one of the main factors that have affected my life for more than 10 years. It is strange how when one is part of master plan how well implemented compartmented security can be. Don't worry. Everything will be all right. They cannot succeed. They have and will continue to win some battles but, they will lose the overall confrontation. But, you must also continue your efforts, do not become complacent, you are part of the solution. In fact, given the center of their research and development, and based on where we are currently located, there is an eerie irony to all of this. They do not know that we are already right under their noses, within their reach, but they cannot touch (psi) us. Okay, now for what little I can contribute. First the disclaimer. This data is at least six years old, and may be EXTREMELY out of date. I have no paperwork, or anything that would stand up in a court of law. ( Or even a basketball court.). Proving this in court is unnecessary. During the Carter Administration, the upper echleons of the Western Intelligence system were reorganized. The CIA was stripped of ACTIVE covert operatives, and returned to its original task as a center for information compilation, and analysis; they get all data from spy technology, worldwide and create a on going database. Active HUMAN intelligence training and missions were transfered over to Delta Command, which includes military training and operations, in a full human resources orgnizational grouping. Another beautiful peace of irony. Durning this time all paranomral research and development programs were removed from Military, Intelligence, and Academic control and placed under the co-ordination and oversight of Strategic Tele-weapons Advanced Research and Operational Development ( S.T.A.R.O.D. ), including the CIA's Paranormal training and medical center ( designated CLINC during the seventies, and recoded HOSPITAL, during the reorganization ) located in Maine. Substantial research and development was done accomplished, which allowed natural psi-sensatives ( who worked for the government ) to bring their talents to peak strength. The training NET included a standing operation to recruit any and all persons exhibiting above normal paranormal ability, and control. Even together they are much less potent than they think they are. Recruitment involved ( domestic U.S. ) sending low-level, regional low sensative psi-individuals to all New-age, Pagan, and other public gatherings and groups to test and "feel" for untrained, unrecruited individuals, who would "involved" in the program. Some time during the middle eighties, a group of trained, deep-intelligence paranormals went rogue, refusing to use their abilities for Psi-esiponage. This action caused the government to begin the development of anti-psi technology, including the Suicide/Compulsion psychometry strategy ( telepathically saturating specific map locations with feelings of depression, and feelings of helplessness, compelling ANYONE with untrained psi ability to suicide.), the selective RF bombardment tactic ( sychronizing low level electro-magnetic fields and Radio Freceuncys to the molecular resonant frecquency of the brain's neuro-receptors ), etc.,. They missed. You can pretty much carry on the line of thought from here, with the data provided in the Confrence agenda. The one that bothers me is the Bioweapons and structural ceramics combined research out of Idaho. The human body doesn't reject cermaic material. It looks like they want to implant or possibly "improve" the human race. There is not enough time left for them to implement this on a wide scale; nothing to worry about. The following repost contains an article originally posted in 12 parts by Don Allen. For readability, I have stripped all but Don's initial header and final sig. Note that this material repeats the speculation that Col. John Alexander is Col. Hal Phillips, which I noted my disagreement with following the "Lobster" article. -Steve> Date: Fri Dec 3 15:10:15 1993 From: ab621@leo.nmc.edu (Ron Schwarz) Subject: UFO Conspiracy Theory To: act@bolis.sf-bay.org Reply-To: ab621@leo.nmc.edu Someone posted a request for information on UFO Conspiracy Theory. Unfortunately, I cannot get into Finland to get at my mail, and I don't remember who it was. Sorry. What follows is a frightening (if long winded) text I found on Paranet a few days ago -- I put it all together and posted it here in Traverse City, which is where my preface was directed, so don't none of ya take any offence at the /dev/nul stuff! I am posting this somewhat long-winded crosspost for the *sole* benefit of those who are concerned about the Ed Dames/John Alexander/Janet Reno/Al Gore connection. The connection is well-known. The principals are well documented. There *is* an outfit named PSI-Tech. Ed Dames and John Alexander *are* involved with it. What it does is also a matter of public record. Janet Reno is also publicly connected to John Alexander (eg, the recent "Non-Lethal Warfare" conference). When the facts are examined, the blood runs cold. I will acknowledge that there is a bit of a signal-to-noise ratio issue concerning this post.

The Aviary, the Aquarium, and Eschatology by Vince Johnson Eschatology: 1: The branch of theology concerned with the final events in the history of the world or of mankind. 2: A belief concerning death, the end of the world, or the ultimate destiny of mankind; specifically any of the various Christian doctrines concerning the Second Coming, the resurrection of the dead, or the Last Judgement. As more than a casual observer of contemporary ufology, I've recently become aware of a what could be a significant new twist in popular perception about UFOs. For many, UFOs are not the manifestation of extraterrestrial intelligence, but instead, are a metaphysical phenomena -- a manifestation of spiritual entities. Many abductees/contactees are now characterizing their "unusual personal experiences" in a religious or metaphysical context. As an unabashed secular humanist, I am skeptical of these claims. But there are several aspects of the metaphysical interpretation of the UFO phenomenon that should be considered before rejecting it out of hand. Admittedly, a lot of what follows is based on rumor, hearsay and circumstantial evidence. Much is derived from numerous phone calls from Dan Smith, whose religious beliefs regarding the UFO phenomenon have induced a messianic zeal to "spread the Word." These calls have provided a flurry of information on what I have previously termed "fringe" beliefs, as well as providing the names and backgrounds of the birds who comprise the Aviary. According to Dan, who undoubtedly is privy to a wealth of accurate, though not widely known UFO information, this data is being released through him due to the grave concern by high government officials about impending metaphysical catastrophe - the eschaton, or the end of the world. Mr. Smith first came to my attention after the "Aquarium Conspiracy" article (see inset) was disseminated to computer bulletin board systems in the Spring of '93. In this article, Smith and Rosemary Ellen Guiley, directors of the Center for North American Crop Circle Studies, warned of an "eschatological emergency, "the reaction of various organizations--both inside and outside the government, and their attempt to establish a network of spiritually advanced individuals, the "Aquarium," to assist the Aviary in dealing with this crisis. The "Aquarium Conspiracy" by Dan Smith and Rosemary Ellen Guiley "In the beginning there was eschatology--the branch of theology dealing with the end times. Dan, having spent many years first studying physics and then metaphysics, came to the conclusion that the scientists have been looking at the world upside down. Mind, not matter, is the foundation for all realities. Moreover, the materialist paradigm was in danger of imminent collapse, being subverted on the inside by its own contradictions, and on the outside by the growing body of evidence for the paranormal. Creating and maintaining a reality is no easy game. It requires a lot of magic, and a lot of conscious critters like ourselves who are pretty good at collective self- deception. Fortunately-- or perhaps unfortunately--our particular reality game has about reached its natural conclusion, and we are waking up to the fact that mind and matter are not separate. We are undergoing an exciting but stressful revolution in our collective consciousness. This revolution, or global spiritual emergency, will bring upheavals and overloads in our global consciousness that will impact the material Earth for better or worse, and may quickly get out of control. We also will be opening up to other realities that will be impacting us as well. Our present very tidy sense of reality and its boundaries is due to become much more fluid and permeable. Every spiritual tradition takes very seriously its prophesies about the end of the world, but for the first time we are seeing these prophesies turning into believable predictions of earth and reality changes. That is how Dan fell from physics into eschatology. After experiencing numerous slammed doors among his former scientific colleagues, he decided that the most logical place to find fellow eschatologists would be in various intelligence agencies and among investigators of the paranormal. Dan next addressed how to communicate about the eschaton. Even a small hint that the government is worried about the end of the world might start a chain reaction of panic, which could possibly serve as a trigger for the eschaton. On the other hand, people inside the government might be wanting to set up a kind of civil defense network vis a vis the eschaton, and so they would be looking for people on the outside who could much more freely network among the general public. An important link in the communication chain is what has become known as the Aviary. This is the final link next to the public network, and so it must be heavily disguised by its own surrealistic smoke screen. The Aviary functions best by amplifying people's own misconceptions about the paranormal. It does this by helping to overinflate individual pieces of the puzzle so that particular investigators get pushed further into their own blind alleys. People are encouraged to be so distracted by the trees that they fail to see the forest. This cacophony by people looking for truth in all the strangest places provides an excellent cover for the deadly serious business of clearing the decks and battening down the hatches for the eschaton event. It is like a Manhattan Project going on behind the scenes of alien grays and praying mantises having sex with humans. However, this eschaton conspiracy is being orchestrated by higher powers, and we don't mean the Committee of 300. Very few of the people even near the center of the orchestration have a clear picture of what is coming down, but they do know that something is coming and that they will have front row seats. The Manhattan Project relative to the eschaton is a global civilian network of people who will serve as a lightning rod for the cosmic energies coming in during the consciousness revolution. They will be looking to channel these energies into expanded realities. Thus, they will provide a degree of protection for those people who can find their places alongside the network. Outside of the network there will be greater levels of trauma and confusion. The pieces of the network are already in place, the remaining task is to properly activate and link the pieces into a critical mass of awareness. This last step is now underway. This is how an Aviary helps to spawn an Aquarium, and how birds learn to swim. The Aquarium is our business, and we are working to reach people who are ready to be activated in the consciousness revolution." I was intrigued after reading the "Aquarium Memo" because it implied that the authors had cultivated sources within the intelligence community. The only question was whether this information was accurate or bogus. I drafted a response and uploaded it to Don Allen, moderator for the FIDO UFO conference, requesting that he forward it to Dan Smith. Several days later, I received the first of many calls from him. Since Smith had alluded to his close contacts with the Aviary, most of my questions centered around this mysterious group of alleged UFO insiders comprised of scientists, military personnel, and inteligence analysts. Dan's primary contact with this group is "Pelican" who reportedly mans the "Wierd Desk" (UFOs,etc) at CIA. While Pelican's main job with the CIA's Directorate of Science and Technology is to monitor foreign technological developments, Pelican also tracks millennial/eschatological communities, "entering a twilight zone where psychic techniques are being generated by humans and other entities," says Smith. According to Smith, UFOs are primarily a psychological/metaphysical phenomenon which are both preparing us and pressuring us to develop our own psi abilities. Not that UFOs are a single type of entity, Smith asserts that there are "powers and principalities" at work -- presumably supernatural entities like angels and demons. Furthermore, he said that a radical program of parapsychological research and development is currently underway near Los Alamos, New Mexico. This group's development of psychokinesis, and psychotronics (a term used to denote psychic warfare techniques) represents a danger of eschatological proportions. "These techniques have been available, but controlled, throughout history. Now, other entities are forcing the issue," said Smith. During the course of our first conversation, Smith was unable to provide much proof of his claims. He reported that his governmental sources "hinted at" an eschatological emergency. To prove the evil intent of the entities involved, he referred to reports of human mutilations in the Amazon which have been officially attribbuted to drug dealers, but according to his sources, were committed by these evil entities. When I asked why the CIA was interested in eschatology, he replied that the ramifications of the eschaton event represented a serious threat to national security, and thus, fell into the parview of the intelligence agencies. Smith also revealed that the eschatological issues he raised related directly to the Biblical prophecies of the book of Revelations. I thanked Mr. Smith for the call, and invited him to keep me abreast of future developments. With the addition of demons, angels, "black magic," psychotronic technology, and assorted spooks working at cross purposes, my already strained credulity was pushed a bit further. The Aviary Dan proceeded to call me regularly. Each call provided tantalizing snippets of information -- some simply incredible at first hearing, but with confirmation on some of the data coming in from disparate sources all across the country. Naturally, my curiosity centered around the identities and activities of the Aviary. I suspect that many believe the Bird People to be cogs in a giant conspiracy to manage the public's perception of UFOs. Not necessarily so, according to Smith. Far from being a well-funded, omnipotent secret society of the guardians of UFO data, the Aviary is nothing more than an ad hoc group of highly-placed "UFO buffs." Initially, the factor that seemed most important was that Pelican was being so forthcoming -- presumably with the knowledge and consent of his superiors at CIA. This in itself forced me to conclude that there are two possible motives for all this apparent glasnost: 1. There is indeed an eschatological emergency as described by Dan Smith, i.e. fulfillment of biblical prophesy with attendent catastrophes; and/or 2. There is a new twist to the ol' UFO debunking game, capitalizing on new- age mysticism and millennial "apocophilia." Frankly, I lean towards the second explanation. After all, Smith himself described the Aviary as "amplifying people's own misconceptions about the paranormal. It does this by helping to overinflate individual pieces of the puzzle so that particular investigators get pushed further into their own blind alleys." I've personally been occupied by this ongoing saga for many months -- a "blind alley?" I wish I knew, but in either case, Pelican's involvement in this affair raises the ante significantly. Has something changed? Could we really be facing biblical "End Times?" As I mentioned previously, I would have laughed-off such suggestions a few months ago. However, Smith's references to "out of control" psychotronic research proved to be more substantive than I first realized. The Aviary is believed to be comprised of: Bruce Maccabee (Seagull) - Well-known Naval photograhic expert who verified the authenticity of the Gulf Breeze photos, a MUFON consultant and member of the Board of Directors of the Fund for UFO Research. Hal Puthoff, PhD. (Owl) - Physicist with the Institute for Advanced Research in Austin, Texas who specializes in Zero-Point Energy, a quantum phenomenon that could provide "free energy." Puthoff was once involved in remote-viewing experiments at the Stanford Research Institute. Dale Graff (Raven) - Performed contract oversight for the DIA at Wright Patterson AFB. Most recently, Graff was the chief of the DIA's Defense Technology/Special department. Rumored to be an abductee, and involved in "black magic" and psychotronic programs at Los Alamos, but fired recently by DIA. Smith says that Graff is the head of the "military" UFO working group at Los Alamos. Jack Vorona (bird name unknown) - Vorona is apparently the most covert of all the Birds. He is believed to have been a liason between Capitol Hill and Los Alamos. Was once involved in Project Sleeping Beauty, an attempt to disable enemy troops using electromagnetic radiation. Vorona has recently "vanished," and his present whereabouts are unknown. Richard Doty (Falcon) - Former AFOSI agent. Directly involved in the Bennewitz affair, and the attempt to funnel UFO information (or disinformation) concerning UFO briefing documents for the President to Linda Moulton Howe. Allegedly responsible for leaking bogus UFO reports while in AFOSI at Kirtland AFB. Currently employed by the New Mexico state police stationed in Dulce, New Mexico. Christopher "Kit" Green MD, PhD. (Bluejay) - Pelican's predecessor at the "Wierd Desk" at CIA. According to Smith, Green at one time had autopsy reports and photos of a UFO that crashed in a foreign country. Dr. Green is currently the chief of the Biomedical Sciences Dept. for General Motors. The CIA awarded him the National Intelligence Medal for his work on a classified project during the period 1979 to 1983. Robert Collins (Condor) - Former Captain, USAF. Involved in the Bennewitz affair, and probably participated in the scheme (with Richard Doty) to release UFO information/ disinformation to Linda Moulton Howe at Kirtland AFB. Ernie Kellerstraus (Hawk) - While working at Wright Patterson AFB in the '70s, he along with Bob Collins and Dale Graff are said to have supplied information to William Moore. Kellerstraus is rumored to have lived with an alien for a while (?), and is probably the source for the story concerning the aliens' preference for "strawberry ice cream". Scott Jones (Chickadee) - Well-connected, well-funded (by Laurence Rockefeller) head of the Human Potential Foundation. Former aid to Sen. Claiborne Pell, who has had a long-standing interest in UFOs and the paranormal. Jones is a MUFON Consultant with numerous highly placed government sources who consistently finds "no interest by government in UFOs." Bill Moore - (bird name unknown) This former Minnesota school teacher may have initiated a new regime in regards to ufology by the publication of "The Roswell Incident." This in itself may have been the single event that began the stripping away of decades of well-guarded UFO secrecy. His involvement in the Aviary seems to be either one of active coordination of the other Birds, or simply as a dupe, such as in the Bennewitz affair. John Alexander (Penquin) - Former colonel in Army Intelligence (INSCOM). Rumored to be involved in the Army's UFO research. Member of the board of directors of Psi Tech. Currently, head of "non-lethal" weapons program (see "Secret Conference" article) at Los Alamos. Said to be briefing Vice President Gore on the UFO phenomenon and psi projects. "Pelican," PhD - Pelican is a physicist with the CIA's Directorate of Science and Technology, who mans the "Wierd Desk" (UFOs, etc) at CIA. Apparently, it is Pelican who provided the bulk of the information that Smith tirelessly passed on. Smith says that Pelican has received some heat from his superiors for becoming so visible due to the AIR #1 report on Bruce Maccabee's relationship to the CIA. Psi-Tech Psi-Tech is a private company that claims to provide its clients remote viewing services. Remote viewing is the act of psychically perceiving places or events at a distance. These techniques were learned during his stint with the US Army's Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), according to Major Ed Dames (ret.) , president of Psi-Tech, who describes his operation thusly (taken from a Psi-Tech brochure): PSI TECH, Inc. was founded in 1989 to perform specialized proprietary studies for science and industry on a contract basis. PSI TECH consists of a select, technically qualified group of professional analysts who provide a unique data collection capability not available anywhere else in the world. We are a team of highly trained Remote Viewing specialists. Remote Viewing has been validated by governmental and private scientific groups over the last two decades. Briefly stated, a remote viewer is able to locate and accurately describe things and events distant in time and space. PSI TECH has developed applied remote viewing into a powerful investigative tool. Our disciplined team of experts combines more than forty man-years of applied remote viewing experience. The rigorous target acquisition, data collection, and analytic protocols that we employ guarantee products and solutions of high value to PSI TECH customers. PSI TECH can rapidly provide you with reliable information that simply may not be available via any other means! PSI-TECH currently employs nine highly experienced remote viewers. The company also utilizes Ingo Swann as a subcontractor. Mr. Swann is internationally recognized as this country's premier natural psychic. He discovered and developed the proprietary methods now used by our company to train and conduct technical remote viewing. PSI-TECH has appointed two outside directors from science and industry. Additionally. we have at our disposal an adjunct Technical Analysis Team consisting of a multidisciplinary group of distinguished scientists, engineers, and medical doctors from national labs, major corporations and universities. These individuals provide analytical support to PSI-TECH technical intelligence collection projects as required. PSI-TECH training and operations performance standards are exacting. we require military precision on the part of our remote viewers. Each viewer works independently and does not collaborate or compare data with other viewers. The training program employed to install those unique skills which enable the production of calibrated, consistent and accurate results is rigorous. While at work a viewer's mind-body state could he generally characterized as one of high attention. To an unwitting observer a PSI- TECH viewer could easily be mistaken for someone engaged in an attempt to solve a difficult math or science problem. Conscious focus shifts between the tasks of directing the trained unconscious in a systematic exploration of the assigned target, breaking out (decoding) the target-associated gestalt patterns of information, then rendering the data as detailed words and sketches, (or models if necessary). Meticulous attention to technical remote viewing structure is required not only to correctly acquire the target and maintain lock-on but additionally to disallow subconscious analysis and/or imagination from interfering with the unconsciously acquired signal. Dames, a retired major in US Army Intelligence, is apparently "being all that he can be," bringing the skills he learned while in the Army to the marketplace. He claims that Psi-Tech has performed these projects to date: Enigma Penetration: The Tunguska Event; Enigma Technologies: Advanced Deep Space Propulsion Systems; Clandestine Iraqi Biological Weapons Facilities (Gratis in support of the United Nations CBW Inspection Team); A Relook of the KAL Flight 007 Shoot- down; Atmospheric Ozone Depletion - Projected Consequences and Remedial Technologies; and the Saint-Exupery Crash Site. I'm sure we'd all like to find out what Psi Tech's RVing has discovered on these events, however, Dames regrets to inform us that this is "proprietary" information gleaned under contract. This would be interesting enough on its own, but Dames claims that fully 60% of his company's time is spent RVing (remote viewing) UFOs! Here are a few of Mr. Dames statements regarding UFOs (from a phone conversation with Dan Smith): RV's of many UFO events are blocked by external agency, (cosmic censorship?). UFO type viewing encounters two types of entities: aliens and angels. Aliens are more physical with quasi-physical type craft. They are in trouble and need our resources, which they take, and if humans are involved they recieve mental impressions to confuse what is really going on. The angels are policing these alien activities. The angels technology is more concerned with the mental and transcendental or metaphysical domains. Ed uses the terms ground zero or ground truth to refer to a spot in SW US where much of their work is done. The angels led them to this spot, indicating that it would be a good place for contacting aliens, about 10 years ago. Various forms of contact then occurred. Dames discussed eschatological implications at some length. His group gets indications of unavoidable bad stuff in the next couple of decades. Deleterious climate changes, storms adversely effecting agriculture. He also foresees a quasi-public contact with UFOs near the ground zero site, within one and a half years (August, 1993). It would be an ongoing contact, of a prophetic sort with both Angels and Aliens involved. His review committee will work out possible coverage. He is not so concerned about a global spiritual emergency, as about the physical (meteorological?) emergencies. So there you have it... UFOs plus psychic adepts equals End of the World. Of course, one could dismiss Dames as a bunko artist selling his $6,000- $8,000 a week services to an affluent but gullible clientele. But before dismissing Dames' claims, readers should be aware of a few other pertinent facts. On the Psi-Tech board of directors are two fairly high-level players; General Albert Stubblebine (US Army Intelligence, ret.), and Colonel John Alexander (ret.) both formerly of the US Army's Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM). Stubblebine, former commander of INSCOM, gave a presentation at the International Symposium on UFO Research (sponsored by the International Association for New Science, Denver CO, May 22-25, 1992) on the subject of "Remote Viewing as a Research Tool." In this presentation, Stubblebine described remote viewing: "It is independent of time, OK? So I can go past, I can go present, I can go future. It is independent of locations, so I can go anywhere on this earth. I can go into any closet, I can go into any mind, I can access that information at any location that I choose." On the subject of RVing UFOs, Stubblebine said: "As far as UFOs are concerned, they can be accessed, they can be tracked, we have looked at the propulsion system for them, that's not a hard job, you can track them back to where they come from, whether they come from a place here on this planet or whether they come from a place on another planet, they are trackable and you can take a look inside as well as outside, so again, it is a tool that is available to be used for the UFO research and I guess, I guess that's the reason that I am standing on this platform in spite of my misgivings and feeling a little bit nervous like a tree in a Lassie movie." Stubblebine also claimed that his remote viewing of the planet Mars had revealed structures and machines operating both on and below the Martian surface. Many suspect that John Alexander is the "colonel" referred to in Howard Blum's recent book, "Out There". In this book, Blum described a group of remote viewers in the Pentagon who frequently encountered UFOs in their psychic "sorties" to locate Soviet submarines. Alexander seems to have an extremely eclectic background -- he received a PhD. in Thanatology (the study of death and near-death experiences) from Georgetown University under the tutelage of the celebrated Dr. Elisabeth Kubler- Ross. Apparently, Alexander is a "mind-control" junkie, having studied everything from Silva Mind Control, to a stint in a Buddhist monastery. When the National Research Council issued its findings that there was no evidence of paranormal phenomena, Alexander wrote a critique of the report that was both passionate and eloquent. In this rebuttal, he compared the report's apparent a priori conclusions to the Condon Commission's report on UFOs. Interestingly, Alexander is widely believed to have been instrumental in the Army's UFO Intelligence activities, and is rumored to have assisted in the investigation of the Cash/Landrum UFO-injury case. In addition to his Psi-Tech work, Alexander currently heads a research project at Los Alamos, New Mexico, focused on "non- lethal" military technology. "Non- lethal" in the conventional parlance refers to methods of eroding an enemy's war-making capabilities without the excessive death and destruction that could possibly harden an enemy's resolve to fight, or cause a moral revulsion in our own population that could weaken political resolve to continue a war until U.S. military objectives could be achieved. Wiping-out enemy radars and communication electronics through powerful electromagnetic pulses (EMP) is one type of non-lethal weapon, spraying roads and railroad tracks with a super-slippery lubricant, thereby paralyzing transportation, is another. Alexander has been mentioned almost synonomously with non-lethal weapons technology in many mainstream news reports, including a lengthy piece in the Wall Street Journal. He is also rumored to be a candidate for an Undersecretary of Defense appointment in the Clinton administration. Surprisingly, Army Intelligence RV operations has become married, literally, with some prominent figures in UFO abductions research. Albert Stubblebine is now married to Dr. Rima Laibow, whose scholarly paper on the abduction phenomenon was the first (as far as I know) to address the issue in the mental-health community. John Alexander is now married to the former Victoria Lacas, Dr. Laibow's close associate. This list of strange bedfellows gets even stranger when you add the name of CSETI founder and head honcho, Steven Greer, M.D., into the mix. As it turns out, Greer, whose modus operandi incorporates shining blinking lights and laser beams at UFOs in the hopes of establishing communications with the ufonauts, was trained in remote viewing by Ed Dames. In fact, it was Dr. Greer who introduced Stubblebine at the Denver symposium. So, what we have so far is that several former high- ranking military personnel (Stubblebine, Alexander,and Dames) who were involved in "psychic" research while in Army Intelligence, and who are now actively involved in the UFO research community. Further, Dames has staked his company's professional reputation on the prediction that an overt contact with aliens will occur in the Four Corners area by August of 1993. Naturally, August came and went without incident. One of ufology's more cogent analysts, who is convinced of the reality of remote viewing based on his own personal search, told me that Dames' activities had resulted in the successful discrediting of both UFOs and remote viewing. Was this the plan all along or is Dames just a charlatan? "Black" Projects Dan Smith explained that the reason that so much information was being disseminated was due to the eschatological implications of the psychotronic research underway at covert government research facilities. It would seem unlikely that this type of technology is currently feasible. After all, if the government had access to psychotronic weapons, why didn't they induce Saddam Hussein to stroll naked through the streets of Baghdad, asking his subjects to admire his new clothes; or simply cause a major blood vessel in his brain to burst? But Smith sincerely believes that such technologies are being developed, specifically under the guise of "non-lethal" weapons research, such as that headed by John Alexander. Smith says, point-blank, that this technology is nothing less than "black magic." Supposedly, this business is taken so seriously at upper echelons that the Secret Service retrieved all of the bloody bandages discarded after Ronald Reagan was wounded in an assassination attempt, lest the president's blood be used in a "black magic" ritual that could influence his behavior. I suppose this story is somewhat more credible after the revelations concerning the Reagan's "court astrologer." According to Dan Smith, use of these psychotronic techniques entail a perilous threat to democracy -- potentially, a type of instantaneous mass mind control to program a pesky proletariat -- and worse. These claims should be taken into context of published papers on the ability to induce auditory sensations through microwave bombardment at certain frequencies. In Alexander's book, "The Warrior's Edge" (with Morris and Grollier), he states matter of factly that remote viewing and psychokinesis are not only real, but have predictable, practical applications. Indeed, the focus of the book is how to utilize mind control techniques to achieve an advantage over one's adversaries. There's absolutely no telling what Cold War ethics combined with unlimited budgets and zero accountability could have wrought in terms of Frankensteinian scenarios. To ellucidate this point, I present this extract from a paper by Ray Boeche, a Lincoln, Nebraska, theologian and Fortean researcher. "To all interested researchers: The following is an edited version of material given to me in late 1991 - early 1992, by two scientists who claim to be working in weapons research and development for the Department of Defense. I am not in a position to comment on the truthfulness or accuracy of the information. The two men who have spoken to me do, in fact, exist, and for all intents and purposes seem to be who and what they claim. The very nature of the claims makes verification difficult, if not impossible. Divulging this information was the result of a moral dilemma, when these two individuals, both Christians, became alarmed at the course their research efforts into psychotronic weapons was taking under the direction of their (unnamed) superiors. They described an obsessive effort to contact and attempt to control what they referred to as "non-human intelligences" (NHI), and to harness these NHI for military and intelligence uses. The efforts had progressed well past attempts at practical applications of David Bohm's theories, and had grown to encompass the use of, according to their statements, "satanic rituals / ritual magic along the lines of that espoused by Aleister Crowley, including human sacrifices." These gentlemen stated their concerns that, even when they were apparently able to harness or channel these forces or abilities for "good" uses, the force would "turn," and ultimately all of those subjects involved suffered varying degrees of negative effects from contact with these forces. They are convinced that what is being tapped into in all instances is evil, and that this research should cease. Contact has continued on a limited basis, with no new information of significance forthcoming." After speculation as to the physics of the paranormal, Boeche sums up the startling details he received: Information given, but not allowed to note during meeting: Discussion of individuals killed during psychotronic weapons experiments. 1. Male, white, 25-30 yrs., allegedly death by remotely induced cardiac arrest. 2. Female, white, 20-25 yr., allegedly death by remotely transmitting and creating head trauma equivalent to crushing of right anterior portion of the skull. 3. Male, white, 30-40 yrs., allegedly death by remotely controlled suffocation. Setting was in a laboratory environment. Alleged victims were wired for EEG & EKG, seated in reclining chair, somewhat similar to dentist's chair. In efforts to establish contact with non-human intelligences, every avenue is being explored. Satanic rituals involving human sacrifice have been performed. Much study is/has been given to writings of Crowley. Bentwaters experiment was the projection of an actual, physical three- dimensional object, which could and did interact with its environment, but was create and controlled by individuals involved in this research. No project names were given because the sources were too concerned that a leak would be traced back to them." Mr. Boeche used the term "scripted" (i.e. slow enough to allow for copious note-taking, except when he was asked to cease writing during the descriptions of the psychotronically induced deaths) to describe the presentation delivered by the two putative DoD scientists. In my communications with Mr. Boeche, he was at a loss to explain why the two DoD scientists were still working on projects they found to be morally repugnant, and if they really wanted to blow the whistle on this activity, why did they reveal it to an obscure ufologist and not the New York Times or "Nightline." I have to agree with Boeche's assessment that the story is probably disinformation for some unknown purpose. The only question here is -- what could the motivation be? The story related by Ray Boeche is supported by Dan Smith's thesis, i.e. humans are messing with forces that are getting out of control, perhaps with disastrous consequences. According to Smith, these "sorcerer's apprentices" are going at it hot and heavy at government psychotronics labs in or near Los Alamos, New Mexico. It has been rumored that there have already been several high-level meetings between those who are concerned about secret psi/UFO programs and representatives of the Clinton administration. According to one rumor, Pelican met with Jack Gibbons, the White House Science Advisor. Gibbons is reported to have responded that "the President shouldn't touch this topic with a 10-foot pole." Instead, meetings concerning these "black" psi/UFO projects have been channeled through the Vice- President's office under the cover story of "alternate energy sources." There have also been meetings with Senate Intelligence Committee Chief of Staff, Dick DiAmato, who is said to be interested in the ongoing strangeness at Area 51. Variations on this rumor have John Alexander as the contact with the Clinton administration. This makes a certain amount of sense, in that Alexander knows Al Gore from his days as a Senator, when he taught several Congressmen, including Gore, some basic Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques. Interestingly, the subject of "Presidential Haircuts" may be connected to this affair. It has been independently reported to me that Mr. Clinton had another delay on the tarmac in Los Alamos, after his tour of high-tech research facilities in the area. This was just days before the LAX / Christophe incident. The inference from this is that either the President's hair must grow very fast, or else highly secure meetings are occuring on airport runways (presumably Air Force 1 is bug-free). A Conversation with Pelican In order to give Pelican an opportunity to confirm or deny the eschatological scenario presented by Dan Smith, I gave him a call. Readers who expect dramatic revelations will be disappointed, although Pelican did provide some interesting tidbits. First, he sounded much younger than I expected. Second, he had a very sharp sense of humor (I had to laugh out loud several times during the course of our conversation). I limited my questions to the subjects of eschatology and the Aviary. His answers seemed forthright -- he didn't seem stressed to avoid any particular topic, and I found him to be quite convincing. My first question dealt with with Dan's statements concerning dangerous "black" programs that were out of control. Curiously, Pelican responded that "Dan isn't cleared for that kind of information" -- not exactly a repudiation of Dan's story. Pelican did admit that he talks to Dan frequently -- about physics. When I told him that Dan had been claiming to be a "conduit" for semi-official information from him, Pelican rather ambiguously stated, "He may very well be doing that... I talk to him once in a while and we share information. I really don't tell him anything that's classified or work- related... he certainly isn't functioning in the role of a conduit for me." I quoted Dan Smith's statement to the effect that "the best place to find fellow eschatologists was in the intelligence agencies," to which Pelican responded "he didn't find any here" at CIA. I inquired about the status of psychotronic weapons research. Pelican was dismissive of the entire subject, calling it "modern-day shamanism." He also stated that psychotronics is only taken seriously in countries like Russia and China that do not have the rigorous peer-reviewed scientific establishment such as in the U.S. I raised the subject of Psi Tech, and Ed Dames' risking his company's reputation on his prediction of an overt alien contact in the Chaco Canyon area by the end of August '93. "What reputation? It's a joke... the only paying customer Psi Tech has ever had was Dan Smith himself, who gave Psi Tech $3,000 to remote view a crop circle being made," Pelican responded. I asked about the high-level personnel on Psi Tech's board of directors like Stubblebine and Alexander. Pelican was dismissive of Stubblebine, recounting that Stubblebine's nick-name was "General Spoonbender," due to his belief in psychic phenomena. Pelican holds Alexander in considerably higher regard, however, stating, "he's a friend of mine." Next, I asked about the Aviary. According to Pelican, the Aviary is nothing more than the product of the somewhat-deranged mind of "Falcon," retired Air Force Captain Robert Collins, who worked in Foreign Technology Assessment in regards to missile technology -- not AFOSI as is widely believed. Pelican said that Collins was discharged from the Air Force after breaching the security perimeter at the Manzano nuclear weapons storage facility at Kirtland AFB. When taken into custody by base security, Collins told them he was there "to meet the President." He was discharged shortly thereafter (Dan says that this incident was orchestrated by Bill Moore, with the hapless Collins left twisting in the wind). Soon after his discharge, Collins began mailing letters "...with my real name and address on the outside, and my codename on the inside," said Pelican, who considered these mailings such a hoot that he posted them on his office wall for the entertainment of his CIA colleagues. All in all, an interesting conversation, but I was (as the reader undoubtedly is now) more confused than ever. Of course, nobody is shocked any more by government denials that turn out to be less than truthful, but as I said before, Pelican was very convincing. He reiterated Dan Smith's proviso that I keep his name confidential -- not to keep him from being deluged by UFO kooks, but rather, so he wouldn't receive unwanted attention from foreign agents -- a condition that I'll honor, even though Pelican's real name is already well known to researchers following this story. Alien Eschatology Against this flurry of phone calls, rumors, denials, and confirmations, HUFON's own abduction research has uncovered an eschatological angle. It seems even the abductors are getting on the eschatology band-wagon with abductees reportedly meeting (or at least perceiving) God, Jesus, dead relatives, and the like, often with dire warnings concerning "the end of the world." Senior HUFON abductions investigator Dale Musser does not take these accounts at face value, nor does he reject them outright. Musser had this to say about "spiritual" aspects of the abduction phenomenon: "This theory is one held by a number of abductees. Most of these abductees have been told by the abductors that the aliens have the right (implication of a divine nature) to do the things they are doing to the abductees. That they are here to save the earth (exact means of doing this vary from subject to subject) and to help us. Usually the abductee is told they were "chosen" and are made to feel important because of this selection. Often they are told that at a later date they will 'know what to do,' or they will "understand when the time is right." The true nature of the beings themselves is never explained, but left to the individual to determine. Many believe them to possibly be angels, or other entities, in service to a deity. There does not seem to be any clearly defined message, nor are the messages consistent from one abductee to another. "There are several problems with this theory from an investigative standpoint. First there is even less proof for their statements than for the abduction itself. The vagueness of the messages certainly does not relate to trying to convince us of their concern about the issues. Second, the means and methods of relaying the messages have the lowest probability of achieving results. Third, the messages given are usually interpreted after an event has occurred rather then before, therefore, one never knows for sure if that's what was truly intended. Most events predicted, or messages conveyed which are to be understood later, almost never happen, and those that do are subject to question. Fourth, the religious significance of the abductors is usually relevant to the belief system of the abductee. It is not universal to all abductees. "It would appear the abductors 'access' the belief system of the abductee and play back a scenario that will be acceptable to the abductees and make them more cooperative. If the individual is Judeo-Christian, the aliens and their purposes will appear to fit within that system. If the subject is a Buddhist, the scenario will be within that belief system. However this is not always true. In one case, an abductee (who was Christian) was presented with a totally pagan and mythical belief scenario. A mistake, or a test? Who knows? "What we do know is that there does not appear to be any consistency to information in these events other than making the individual believe the abductors are here on some sort of divine mission. It is interesting to note that atheists seldom have encounters where they are presented with religious scenarios. Often they are presented with the idea the aliens are here to help us prevent the same fate which supposedly befell their own world. It is hard to believe there is any truth to these spiritual connections and beliefs when so many differing ones are presented, some in conflict with the other. The conclusion one could draw from the data presented is "whatever works, they will use." So, the abducting entities can't seem to keep their stories straight. One would expect at least consistency from advanced alien beings, heavenly angels or demons from hell -- whatever they may be. Novelist Whitley Strieber, whose abduction experiences are described vividly in his non-fiction books, "Communion" and "Transformation" recounted that when he asked the entities what they were up to, they responded "We recycle souls." He too was shown "lessons" concerning a catastrophe affecting the earth. Strieber, who has become "alienated" from organized ufology due to his refusal to categorize the entities he encountered as extraterrestrial aliens, can only characterize the phenomenon as "not a dream, not a hallucination, and not real - something else." Which brings me back to the subject at hand: what is going on? In a word, confusion. There seems to be no correlation between the perceived abduction events and Dan Smith's eschatological emergency caused by the practice of "black magic." Smith does seem to be hedging his bets at times. He has told me that the eschaton event could be a "benign eschaton," consisting of a universal and positive shift in human behavior due to Revealed Truth. I could go for that... Just as occurred in the waning days of the year 999, when millennialism swept through Europe causing a virtual societal breakdown, today there is a growing millennialist movement where many of the faithful foresee a period of catastrophic "Earth changes," and Armageddon, the fulfillment of biblical prophesy. Fundamentalist Christians eagerly await this disaster because it will usher in a thousand-year kingdom of Jesus on Earth. New-Age channelers are also getting into the act with messages from angels/ avatars/aliens warning of imminent "Earth changes" along with warnings against gun control, Zionism, the "New World Order," and other right-wing paranoid delusions. When considering these claims, one would be remiss in not pointing out the upsurge in reports of Blessed Virgin Mary (BVM) sightings, and other paranormal events of religious significance to the experiencers. As with the many New Age channeled messages, many of the reported Marion locutions warn of "Earth changes" and the "End Times." Starting in 1981, the most spectacular and long-lasting BVM visitation (with scads of witnesses to the "miracles") occurred in Medjugorje, on the Adriatic coast of Bosnia Herzegovinia, now one of the most horrifi hell-holes on the planet. So much for the positive spiritual effects one might expect from from such beatific locutions. Maybe things just aren't what they seem. Anyone familiar with UFO-abduction accounts is forced to conclude that weird things are happening or at least being perceived as happening by large numbers of otherwise sane, functional peopIe. Some of these abductions reports are so bizarre, and with so many similarities to BVM encounters, that many thoughtful researchers have abandoned the extraterrestrial hypothesis in favor of the metaphysical or interdimensional hypothesis. Dr. Jacques Vallee has even incorporated the high strangeness of these events into his comprehensive catalogue of close encounters under the rubric of "reality transformation." As author/futurist Arthur C. Clark is quoted as saying, any sufficiently advanced technology will be indistinguishable from magic. David Mayo took this concept a step further when he stated that if advanced technology appears to be magic, then technology an order of magnitude beyond that could have the appearance of nonsense to our primitive simian brains. But if there really is such a thing as "black magic," and government scientists are experimenting with it, I suspect that they could be blindly running the same risks in dealing with such unknown forces as the 19th-century scientists who thought nothing of casually handling radium and other radioactive materials. With the clock inexorably ticking off the seconds until midnight, December 31, 1999 (a date that seems to have some special significance to the millennialists) eschatological fervor will undoubtedly increase. Meanwhile, whoever or whatever is behind the UFO phenomenon is apparently doing everything possible to keep the true nature of this mystery from being understood. But rather than being an indicator of biblical "End Times" or "Earth changes," the barrage of UFO reports, BVM sightings, abduction accounts, channeled messages, religious hysteria, and inside poop from the CIA are probably nothing more than further attempts to distort the signal with more noise. Many thanks to Robert Durant, Dale Musser, Ray Boeche, George Hansen, Ron Madeley and of course, Dan Smith for their assistance on this story. Monster in the Wilderness by C. Zickuhr The HAARP project being constructed near Gakona, Alaska will create the largest-of-its-kind ionospheric heater using computer controlled radio frequency transmitters. HAARP, which stands for High Frequency Active Auroral Research Project, is a joint effort of the Air Force and the Navy. HAARP program manager, John Heckscher, claims that it is a research project with both military and civilian benefits yet only military experiments can be found in the documentation for the project. The acronym implies something to do with the aurora, but none of the project papers mention that aspect. What sounds like an engineering feat deserving of public accolade, has remained suspiciously low profile, almost unknown to most Alaskans as well as the rest of the country. Documents acquired from the Office of Naval Research via the Freedom Of Information Act reveal a more ominous purpose for HAARP. According to these documents, the U.S. military believes the former Soviet Union has similar heaters with which they claim to have achieved higher levels of ionospheric reaction than possible so far in the "West". Although smaller in size than the HAARP project, there are many other ground based transmitting heaters in operation around the world; Tromso, Norway and Arecibo, Puerto Rico among them. Can these heaters already be changing the weather, and have they somehow contributed to the recent climate-based catastrophes in the U.S? Might migratory species traveling through the "rays" have already experienced irreversible damage? How many humans have contracted cancers that might have remained dormant if not "excited" by these transmissions? When Russia's Zhirinovsky speaks of secret weapons, is he referring to their version of HAARP? HAARP first came to my attention in the spring of 1993, when a neighbor and airline pilot brought me materials on the project. The FAA had briefed commercial pilots in Alaska on changes needed to avoid interference from future HAARP transmissions. As a ham radio operator, my neighbor assumed that I had some knowledge of the "giant transmitter" and its effect on other communications. After making inquiries to other hams, a few recalled seeing announcements for public meetings in Glenallen and Anderson, Alaska. Several then attended these Draft Environmental Impact meetings and gathered information. FAA personnel, pilots, communications engineers and others raised serious questions during the HAARP Draft Environmental Impact Statement process. According to official statements, these questions were all properly addressed in the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS). Closer examination reveals a different story. Local FAA engineers, aware of the heavy safety dependency of airplane communications, voiced strong objections. The national FAA, however, overrode these objections and gave HAARP the green light after "assurances" that lower level concerns would be accommodated. The FEIS admits that all forms of radio communication are subject to interference, yet completely ignores the concerns expressed in many of the comments. Individuals, organizations and agencies that use radio for their day-to-day livelihood were left with a "let us know and we'll try to mitigate it" promise. It is important to remember the definition of mitigation is "to reduce", not "to eliminate". What recourse does the Alaskan Bush communicator have when their radio transmissions are rendered useless by HAARP? That is their only form of communication. The FEIS and other Department of Defense documents indicate that interference problems would be too great to allow it to be located near other military facilities in Alaska. What kind of monster is it that they can't even locate it near existing military bases? Even the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) has reservations about HAARP transmissions. They would only permit one of the test sites (Mineral Wells, Texas) to operate and so far have declined to extend all the requested frequency/power privileges necessary for the Alaska site. The enormous lobbying power of the military may overwhelm reason and force the NTIA to go along with the HAARP request. After all, Gakona is a "virtually uninhabited" area of the world. Electromagnetic radiation has drawn increasing interest in the form of health impact studies and research worldwide. The HAARP project will generate massive amounts of intentional and some unintentional radiation. The HAARP environmental impact statements deny possible biological effects on humans, citing obsolete IEEE standards that basically say if the radiation isn't causing you to feel heat, it does not harm you. The preponderance of current studies indicate there can by promotion of cancer growth, disorientation, and other negative physical effects from low level, non-heating electromagnetic radiation. Why have our government agencies given their affirmation to something so clearly controversial? After searching for answers to HAARP questions for the past year and a half, what has surfaced are very few answers and many more questions. How dangerous is HAARP (some physicists fear severe planetary consequences)? Commenting on HAARP in the April, 1994 issue of Physics and Society, C. L. Herzenberg says "...this technology does present issues that need to be publicly addressed by the technical community". Can HAARP change the ionosphere and weather patterns?? Can HAARP disrupt worldwide communications?? Can HAARP damage or destroy wildlife?? Will HAARP radiation change the migration habits of animals that come near it?? Can HAARP cause cancer?? Can the ionospheric effects of HAARP be controlled?? Why has the project been kept low profile and secretive, by the sponsors and the contractor (an ARCO subsidiary)? UPDATE: JUNE 1994 - ARCO sold their subsidiary to E-Systems, the 41st largest U.S. defense contractor noted for their counter surveillance work. Why have Alaska's public officials avoided providing serious answers to the public's questions?? Anything that can generate these questions deserves the MONSTER title and our serious attention. Additional pieces to the puzzle that have shown themselves only serve to heighten speculation that we are not getting clear and concise answers. There is a connection to the recently installed Cray supercomputer at UAF and to the Geophysical Institute there. There is an obvious power requirement that might be met by a proposed coal power plant at Healy, connected by a proposed power distribution intertie. Some of the experiments will require "seeding" the ionosphere with chemicals that could be delivered by rockets from the Poker Flats rocket range near Fairbanks. Patents held by the ARCO subsidiary building HAARP describe a similar ionospheric heater and claim abilities to stop missiles, change weather, and disrupt global communications. The inventor, Bernard Eastlund, claims he was hired by ARCO to find a use for their Alaska North Slope gas deposits; hence, his inventions described in the patents. Microwave News May/June, 1994 reported Eastlund said "The HAARP project obviously looks a lot like the first step toward this." The Gakona location is interesting as it was once destined to become an over-the-horizon radar facility. The Cold War ended before it could be completely built. This left the military with a remote location with buildings and generating equipment partially completed, and a choice - either restore it to its original natural condition or find another use. HAARP conveniently fits the site. Is the choice of this remote site for these monster transmitters more a factor of fewer people to complain? Does it reduce the number of humans exposed to HAARP transmissions thereby reducing the liability? What about the wildlife in the area, what exposures will they be subjected to? One need only remember experiments of another era that generated nuclear fall-out killing and crippling humans and animals in its path. It only took forty to fifty years to get the agencies involved to admit liability. In order to get an idea of just how large the HAARP transmitters are, imagine all the ham radio operators in the United States (there are over 500,000) transmitting at their maximum allowed power from one giant antenna. That still would not be as powerful as HAARP's multi-gigawatt (giga = billion) radiation capability. The average Alaskan ham can communicate across the state with less power than will be in the unintentional harmonics and side-lobes radiated by HAARP. What exactly will HAARP do? According to HAARP project documents it will "perturb" the ionosphere with extremely powerful beams of energy. Using polarized, pulsating radio frequency transmissions to perform experiments which include devising methods to destroy the communications capabilities of others (presumably an adversary) while preserving their own communications. Experiments with mirroring and reflecting abilities of the ionosphere (abilities we currently depend on for all forms of communication) will be carried out to see what military purposes may be served by the resulting changes. An apt analogy that springs to mind is that of an inquisitive youngster poking a sleeping bear with a stick, to see what might happen! What will we do once the monster is unleashed? The Alaska location was partially picked for its alignment with the earth's magnetic force lines. Military experiments with the magnetosphere also appear to be planned. And again the scientists warn of possible dire consequences, including setting the earth into some unexpected vibration or oscillation, similar to an axis wobble. Many scientists such as Richard Williams writing in Physics and Society in April, 1988 have denounced this kind of testing as irresponsible and downright dangerous, fearing long term negative ionospheric effects. Also, like any magnet, the force lines will react at their opposite pole, near Australia and New Zealand. Australians are concerned enough to consider sending a team to Alaska to document and investigate HAARP. Shouldn't Alaskans be interested too? A group of NO HAARP activists is seeking to formalize their opposition by incorporating as a non-profit organization or affiliating with an existing group. Their prime purposes will be to promote awareness, file legal actions and other activities focused specifically on HAARP, something no group is currently doing. In fact, probably due to the remoteness of the Gakona location, it has been difficult to get outsiders interested. We are quite aware that the promoters of HAARP fully realize that they have the upper organizational hand and the money to outlast our grassroots opposition. Those of us in NO HAARP are committed to doing what we can to stop the project before it comes on-line with full power in 1997. Considering the project has been underway since the mid-1980's, this will be a difficult task. Luckily it was not completely funded as of a year ago. There is hope that legislative alternatives to stop it may exist as well. John Heckscher was quoted by Microwave News in the May/June, 1994 issue saying that "money for completion of the demonstration project is in place . . . but the larger facility would require additional funding from Congress". Unfortunately, this additional funding is likely to be buried deep in the DOD budget. What can you do? Of course you can try to "write your congress person". The Alaska delegation to congress is noted for their alignment with the military so don't expect too much action from them. Send contributions for the NO HAARP effort to Jim Roderick, P.O.

Later Larry The following speech was given by Major General Stubblebine, an important advocate of the military use of psi and related techniques> MAJOR GENERAL ALBERT N. STUBBLEBINE, III LECTURE ON REMOTE VIEWlNG AS A RESEARCH TOOL International Symposium on UFO Research Sponsored by the International Association for New Science Denver, Colorado, May 22-25, 1992 (Introduction by Dr. Steven Greer of Gen. (Ret.) Stubblebine's military career as Commanding officer of the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), his efforts to study unusual human performance for the Army, his involvement as Chairman of the Board of Direcsors of Psi-Tech, his association with TREAT and with Soviet Technology Transfer, etc GEN. STUBBLEBINE: (Begins with casual remarks on "why a person like me is in a place like this talking to a group of people like you on a subject like wherever it is we are talking today; continues with casual jokes about rapturing the audience, ethnic jokes about Hittites "with a slight Japanes flavor" about kamakaze pilots on WW2, leading to the phrase, "Are you ou of your fucking mind? That, ladies and gentlemen, is the title of this talk because what I plan to talk is remote viewing"). So what is remote viewing? (From now abbreviated as RV--ed.) First of all, it is a very systematic, very controlled method of accessing inforrnation that is not normally available by any other source, that's about fi~ll isn't it? Accessible information that is not accessible by any other source. I told you, if you either did it or believe in it, you probably would be out of your mind because everyone knows that that is not a doable do, can't do that, however, we can and we do, so first of all let me tell you a little bit about what remote viewing is. It is independent of time, OK? So I can go past, I can go present, I can go future. It is independent of location, so I can go anywhere on this earth, I can go into any closet, I can go into any mind, I can access that information at any location that I choose. It is independent of space, therefore, I can access that information any place in on the planet or off of it if I choose; and it is independent of countermeasures, I believe I put a caveat on the last one, not a caveat on the first, small caveat on the last one because all of the research has not been done at this stage on the counter measures. There are indications that some counter measures are possible, we have bumped on indications of counter measures but that piece of research has not been done at this stage of the game, so I believe it is independent of most counter measures, I am not totally convinced that is independent of all countermeasures. What is remote viewing not, if I can screw my English there? What will RV not do, OK? Well, first of all, it is not a panacea, it is not a end-all to all end-alls, it provides threads, it provides ldeas, it provides detailed information, but it should not, we do not and should not be used as an absolute panacea, an absolute truth; it needs to be, that information that's gleaned from the RV set needs to be taken and co-related with all other information that you know in order to make the picture that you then makes decisions and recommendations from there is a lot of differences between using it as an end-all and using it a a tool, as a tool to provide you information that you- cannot get in othe ways and to make sense of the picture that you think, there is a lot of difference between using it as gospel and using it as a tool to be integrated with the rest of the tools that are available. What is it not? lt does not not at this stage of the game, do numbers well nor does it do words well or letters well. For instance, I could not go in and read a report that is in somebody's safe, I might be able to get the essence of that report but I could not read it, I can get sensings of it but I cannot at this stage of the game go in and do the reading, and numbers or particular hard letters are hard, OK? What is it not? It is not a tool to be used by the callous or the undisciplined or those people who have for want of another word or another thought, let me call it an evil intent and I know that word has all kinds of ramifications, but it is tool that is to be used to help, not a tool that is to be used for illicit purposes, so that gives you a little bit of an idea of what it can do and what it can't do. I frequently get the question what is the difference between RV and natural or personal psychic abilities, I get that question very frequently from people who don't understand when they listen to the words that I am talking about, so they say, ah! but I know a psychic who does, so they say what is the difference between what you do in a RV sense and what they do in a pure natural, psychic fashion or manner? There are a couple of differences and the first one is the training- The training for our viewers in a one year, six- stage training course, one year six stages, OK? so there is an incredible amount of very carefully monitored, very carefully metered very carefully controlled process that is taught to all of our remoteviewers, and as Steven (Greer--ed.) indicated, I am the Chairman of the Board of this company called Psi Tech and we have six remote viewers, a of whom have been through the one year training as well as a lot of expierence of doing RV itself, each one of those is a very well trained, very controlled person, very highly disciplined individual- Sometime ago whe we had the draft, we haven't had the draft in the Army for a long period of time, but at one time the Pentagon was considering the kind of people it ought to draft, the ones that would really make good soldiers, and the conclusion was that they should be married, and somebody said, I understand, very simple, they learn how to take orders. Well, yes, true of the people who do the RV, they must be willing to follow the instructions, the sort of programming, the methodology that is used. The second major discipline in all of this is that there is a very carefully established protocol or methodology through which and by which remote viewers are actaully given their task and how they do both their RV as well as their reporting, so there is an incredibly tight protocol established to make sure that the information that we are getting out of the data bank-- and let me through out a theorem, that there is a huge data bank that exists out there that can be accessed, OK? there is a huge bank out there, all you got to do is go access it, who can access it? Anybody, anybody can access that data bank, alright, these remote viewers did not have any special psychic abilities before we select to training, they didn't, OK? they were just like you and I, or almost, but pretty close, they were just straight normal people who we trained to do this process. Incidentally, how many people in this audience either think they are, or believe they are or play at being a psychic, or do psychic channeling, readings or anyhting (It seems that first there is only a small show of hands that grows at Stubblebine's urging--ed.) The difference between the two is first of all the training, second the controlled mechanisms in which we handle our remote viewers. Now let me kind of walk you through a typical problem to give you some sense of how it occurs. Lets assume an airplane crash, its relatively easy task to do, all we do is we take three of our viewers and we will tell those three viewers as much information about the crash as we know, a) it was an airplane, b) it was Pan- Am, c) it was flying over wherever, Colorado, and it was at such and such a time and it disappeared, and no one knows where it went, OK? What happened? The other three, now, we don't do that, all we do with the other three is we give them a controlled coordinate, incidentally the controlled coordinate is not the coordinate of the plane crash site because we don't know where that is, it is nothing more than a control for the controller of the exercise to measure that all of the remote viewers are on the same sheet of music. Each of the viewers now goes in and independently does his or her thing--incidentally all of our viewers right now are males, however, I have had female viewers and so that's not, how do I express it? Right now we are very sexist, we have all males, however, that is not a bar to do RV, as a matter of fact women do very, very well as long as we can get them to the controlled protocol. I will tell you that one who we tried to train who was already a natural psychic, did not work well because the natural psychic ability kept overiding the control mechanisms and therefore we were having trouble making sure that everything stayed within the discipline and within the control box. The all six then go off independently and do their thing, and when they come back, theywrite out their report and provide each of the six reports to the controller, the controller now takes the six reports and begins to analyze the reports to see wherc the similarities and where the differences are, and from that, you then decide, or the controller decides whether you need to send that viewer back into session again for additional detail. For instance, and it frequently happens that one viewer will get a tail number or an indication of a tail number, you know, I told you numbers are hard but the tail numbers are relatively large numbers and so sometimes you can get an indication of the tail number; the sencond one will get you a crash site that is on top of a mountain or a third of the way down the mountain; another one may get you a piece of a coordinate or get you a coordinate, know exactly where that is, another one will get you that everybody is dead or most are dead but some are still alive, so you get different essences out of the six remote viewers. Incidentally the remote viewers do not have to be on a single location, and most of ours are not, many are in the larger Washington metroplitan area, but one of them is in Minnesota and another one is out in Kansas, so they do not need to be co-located when they are doing their work. Each sesslon incidentally is about a 45 minute session, we find that you go much beyond 45 minutes and you are beginning to run into lapses or a lapse in the energy field and youbegin to slip off the quality of the information, so we try to limit the sessions to about 45 minutes. After the controller has taken a look at each one of the reports, he then decides on what additional work needs to be done, do you send it back to get additional data or you are satisfied with what you got, you have enough now that you can go out and write a report for the individual or the company that paid you to do the RV to begin with, so that gives you at least a sense of how one of these projects would work. Let me talk now about some examples. I mentioned that you can go into the past or you can go into the future. Tomorrow, I believe, you get two sessions, one is with Scott Jones who I believe is going to talk about Tunguska, which was a project that Psi Tech did, and obviously, the event in Tunguska happened way in the past; you also will also heard from Dr. Laibow, she is not talking about her project, but Psi Tech did a project for her and for TREAT on the Phobos-2 probe, that information was quite revealing released any of it at this stage of the game because we are working with the Soviets and trying to get confirmation from the Soviet system as to to the accuracy of the Psi Tech RV report-so that we can get some co-relation as to the quality of project, a) that large and b) that complex. So incidentally the Phobos-2 probe disappeared off of Soviet radar screen just suddenly, it was operating and suddenly it wasn't, and so there was a lot of curiosity about what occurred, and there has been a lot of speculation as to what really occurred to the craft, and if the remote viewers are correct, it will be a quite a revelation when we finally get the confirmation that we think is available out of the Soviet Union. In any event, those two are projects of the past, let me now talk about projects that were of the future, that are no longer of the future, but they were at the time that they were done. One was a very large corporation here in the United States wanted to know what the power source was going to be on the lunar station on the moon when it finally got there, and we said, that sounds like an interesting project, so we took a look at that. Now that had a couple of components, one was what was going to be the power source, and also there was an indication that they wanted to mine the rock on the moon, the lunar rock, in order to extract both the hydrogen and oxygen, you combine the two you get water which you can drink, but you also get energy which you can use for an energy source, but you also get oxygen which you can breath, so it sounded kind of neat. However, when we looked at it, that's not what we found, what we found was a small, portable existing nuclear reactor, OK? That sounded neat because it was already here, it existed on this earth, there was one problem with it, it wasn't in the United States, as a matter of fact it was in the Soviet Union, and everybody said, oh my goodness gracious, that can't possibly be, as a matter of fact the client in this case said, I didn't want to hear that answer, OK? I really didn't want to hear that, besides I can't get to that reactor anyway because the Soviet is still a closed system, OK? Well, I don't know whether you have been reading the newspapers lately, but there is or has been in the newspapers a system, a Soviet system called TOPAZ, and TOPAZ, the United States just bought or just arranged to buy, I don't think its gotten here yet but it arranged to get it here, and it is a small portable existing nuclear reactor that is suitable for space, OK? and that work was done for this corporation about three years before, two and a half years earlier, so the work was done but it was done for a future event, and in essence at least part of that future event appears to have taken place... (End of Side A)... The lunar exploration is actually up there and operating and that's the system they have, I can't (do anyhting about it?) because we haven't got there yet, thats what the indicators are. The second kind of interesting project dealt with again a very large U.S. corporation that had extensive interest in the price of oil in the Middle East and what would be the impact of what was going on in the Middle East and what would it look like when it was all over; in other words, they really were interested in after the dust settled over in that part of the world, what was the situation going to be so that this corporation could make up its mind how it wanted to posture itself vis-a-vis the then time frame, now the time frame was August 1990 and that was during Desert Shield, not desert Storm but desert Shield. The project was to look inside (Saddam) Hussein's head and find out what he was thinking and where he was going and what he was going to do, now this was ahead of time, I want you to know this was before Desert Storm, this was Desert Shield, alright? The attempts, in spite of two assasnation attempts he would stlll bc there and he would still be in charge, OK? Well, one of those assasination attempts has been verified, I've never seen any intelegence or information or corrobarotion about the second assassination attempt, I know that one was attempted, OK? He obviously is still alive. The second piece of that not asked for, but clearly indicated as picked up by the viewers as they looked at it, was a huge oil fire, huge oil conflagration. Well that's kind of interesting because that obviously also occurred. Now let me get back to the sort of the psychics versus the remote viwers because I don't admit this and God and this is on tape too, Jesus Oh Boy! I am not a trained remote viewer, I am not a natural psychic, OK? However, I do get, I am highly visual and I do get lots of interesting images; about two months before the fires actually occurred in the Middle East, before Hussein actually set fire to the oil wells. I had seen an incredibly dramatic image; and it was of a huge fire; now the fire, I can see this incredible set of black smoke and I could see vertically what to be sticks, you know, I could see the base of, and I concluded that is was a forest fire, OK? and so i took it out of Kuwait and I moved it somewhere else in the world because there are no trees in Kuwait to have a forest fire with, you know, logic tells you that there are no trees, therefore you cannot have a forest fire, therefore, it cannot be Kuwait, boom, all right? Wrong! Wrong! The minutes those pictures came on TV I knew instantaneoulsy that that's what I had seen, and what I had misp~ the trees with oil rigs, OK? Now, what happens in that case is wha overlay, and it is part of the protocol to remove that overlay fron remote viewers so that you don't get that misconclusion or that misdirection, it is precisely what we do in the controlled process, protocol that extracts the overlay away from the expierence of the individuals See, my expierence says if you got stick you got trees got trees you got forest fires, if you got forest fires you are not in Kuwait right? Boom! See the logic? All of that was overlay that I put there myself, now we don't allow that with our remote viewers and we do have a protocol that stops that dead in its tracks and removes that overlay do that we don't get the expierential piece in there, we get access to the data is in the data base to bring it back and give it pure, that's the system and that's the primary difference between the sort of the pure psychic and what we believe to be the remote viewers, or our trained remote viewers. (Jokes about onions with long ears that occasionally bring tears to your eyes) That really is the neat part about remote viewing because occasionally you get right on the money, so much so that bring tears to your eyes if you are right there, that's kind of the essence of the difference between those two elements. Let me talk to you about where you might take this kind of a tool and do something with it, and again I am not sure I want to be on tape for this. We have looked at Mars, we have looked at UFOs, we spent some time looking at Mars, tomorrow I believe that you are going to hear a presentation on the Mars phenomena, and if I am correct, that you will be told that there are structures on the surface of Mars. I will tell you for the record that there are structures underneath the surface of Mars that cannot be seen by the Voyager cameras that went by in 1976, which is what you are going to hear tomorrow; I will also tell you that there are machines on the surface of Mars and there are machincs under the surface of Mars that you can look at, you can find out in detail, you can see what they are, where they are, who they are and a lot of detail about them. Now, you can do that through RV and I defy any sensor anywhere in this world today that can do that kind of analysis or give you those kinds of leads, it just doesn't exist today. Now, someday we will put a Mars station, someday we will go there, someday we will see all of this, someday we will find it, but today you do not have any capability to verify what I am saying so I can I say it, which makes it nice. As far as the UFOs are concerned, they can be accessed, they can be tracked, we have looked at the propulsion system for them, that's not a hard job, you can track them back to where they come from, whether they come from a place here on this planet or whether they come from a place on another planet, they are trackable and you can take a look inside as well as outside, so again it is a tool that is available to be used for the UFO research and I guess, I guess that's the reason that I am standing on this platform in spite of my misgivings and feeling a little bit nervous like a tree on a Lassie program. Last but not least, let me explore the fact that this technology has not been proven in terms of a Mars or a UFO kind of a tool, I will tell you, however, though, because one of the things which I am sure is going through everybody's mind is what is the statistical success rate if you will, how good are you, how good are your remote viewers, where do they stand. Are they 50-50, because I can flip a coin and do that; are they at 51 versus 49, because if they are that's better than the flip of a coin. I will tell you that its better than a B-plus, better than a B-plus, now for all of you who remember, I had trouble remembering that far back to High School, it was about 200 years ago, but if my recollection is correct, B-plus was about 85 or better. If you do it properly and begin to take the project, get the large overview, take it down like a telescopic lens to the next layer, take it down to the next telescopic lens cut out into the next layer and kecp going down until you are down to the nuts and bolts, that number can go as high as 95 percent success rate, it is a phenomenal tool, it is a phenomenal tool. We have failures, yeah, we have some, not often but we do, occasionally you get noise, you get an overide of some sort, and that's why I said I am not sure about all of the counter measures at this stage of the game, OK? Just one second, there have been people who have told me that its a crazy notion, that why would you ever risk your reputation doing something like this, why would you ever accept something like this. Well, my feeling is a little bit like the notion that if you try and don't succeed, you give up, my thought is if you try and don't succeed, don't play Russian roulette, however, if you keep at this remote viewing set or use or think about this tool, I am sure that we can unlock a number of the mysteries that still confound us in the enigmas in all of our our thinking, its a tool that's available, its a tool that is now and its a tool that needs to be stressed and used to find out where its limits are. I have put some literature down here in front for people who would like to pick up some of the literature from Psi Tech that is available. You know, I don't like the phrase don't cross the bridge until you get to it, and the reason that I don't like that phrase is that there are lots of leaders who would cross bridges in their imaginations hundreds of miles ahead of the main procession, and they did spend the bridge, and in closing I will state, and I don't know who said this, but there is an interesting phrase that I like that says, don't go or don't follow the trail that others have gone off, instead make your own path, grow your own path, but, but leave a trail behind, OK? That's what RV is right now, its an exact position as a pioneer of where the RV is, now, I believe there were a couple of questions back here, yes. (Mentions this is not on his time and that he is finished. Dr. Greer adds that there is a live TV crew and some ten minutes available to answer questions from the audience). (Q from audience on futher details about Psi Tech's protocols). OK, let me answer the last one first, the protocol was developed by Ingo Swann who is himself a natural psychic, and he has patented the protocol, that's first and foremost; the second, where we get the errors, the errors appear to come out of interference, now what is interference? Interference appears to be some counter measure of some sort, so there appears to be some areas that we are having trouble accessing, it appears that when you have trouble accessing them that there is a wall that has been built up, I don't know, I guess I'd call it a psychic wall of some sort. (Audience interjects comment) You get, you sort of bang up against a wall, you go bonk. I have just been reminded that Ed Dames who is the president of Psi-Tech and is himself a remote viwer, but he doesn't do much, he acts more as the control. (Mentions Ed's talk in Atlanta for TREAT IV and the transcripts will be available sometime in the future). (Q about mental state of the viewers). Completely passive, totally passive obviously is a state of mind, the individual state of mind, heavily Theta, for those of you who understand brainwaves, its a Theta brainwave state of mind that they are in, we've actually measured some of them and they are very heavy in the Theta brainwave arena, but it is totally passive as far as I can tell, there is no active instrument other than the mind that is accessing the information. (Q on to what extent are major Government using RV) I haven't the foggiest freaking ass idea (laughter). You did see foreign governments, thats what I thought you said. (Questioner clarifies he said major governments). Rule one, I will not talk about anything that preceded my retirement, OK? excuse me, I will not talk about anything that preceded my retirement that is classified, that's a better way of expressing it, so anybody that and I have been asked that question over and over and over and over again, I made an oath, I have no intention of breaking that oath. Now, let's talk about foreign governments because that's a different story. The Soviets have been doing RV, they call it extra-sense, they have been doing that for years, at one time the Soviet budget, the second highest part of the Soviet budget was in paranormal, parapsychological experts that's not true today but that was true probably six years ago. at least six years ago, that was a true statement, so the second highest right behind the defense budget was the money for the parapsycolocial/paranormal work, so if there is anybody who doesn't believe that the Soviets have been playing in that business, does not understand what they are doing. We have been in contact, and as a rnatter of f~ct for th my knonewledge, we had on the platform at TREAT-IV in Atlanta, we had on the platform simultaneously the president of Psi Tec, Ed Dames, and the president of a Soviet enterprise, civilian enterprise headed by Ivan Sokolov, who does the same thing in the Soviet Union, I think thats a first, OK? And what we are trying to do together is to devise a project that will use the capabilities of both organizations, and the one we are focusing on right at the moment is finding and cleaning up the environmental hazards so that we begin to work on some of the incredible environmental problems that exist in the Soviet Union, so we picked the environment, its benign, it doesn't get this country upset or this government upset, it doesn't get their government upset, its something that needs to be done and so we try to pick something that its an absolutely benign topic so that everyone can support it forward, I don't know if that answers all of your questions, but it gives you a little bit of a ramble. Yes, mam. (Q on UFOs). We got ten years of data that's stacked up, that we kept in the closet for many of the same reasons that a lot of, well, there are people who are just barely now holding up there hands and saying, yes, I think I believe in one those, at least publicly, there is about ten years of data that we got stacked up on the UFO phenomenon, that's the good news; the bad news is that its not all in the kind of order that it needs to be, so it needs to be gone through it, sort it, begin to analyze it, the problem with that of course it costs money and money doesn't grow everywhere for such projects, so somebodys got to be interested in doing that but a lot of it exists, yes? (Q on Sunspots interference with RV) I don't know, he wants to know whether sunspots would impact or affect the ability of the remote viewer to do the RV job, the reason I hesitate is because I never even thought about it, now what I have thought about or those areas where we begin to get what appear to be interference and appear to be counter measures and trying to sort that setout and make sense of it. Now, what I haven't thought about it is whether that was a natural occurring phenomena or an intentionality on someone else's part who is in fact trying to interfere or in effect jam our own ability to access, so the answer is I don't know, it would be a very nice research project. (Q about your agency, which he reacts to, Psi Tech) Yes, we can talk about that. (Whether Psi Tech has been contacted to work on counter measures) No. (Q on tracking of UFOs) Earth, Mars. (Q about a rumor circulating on the Roswell crash). No, stop that, please stop that rumor, first of all Ed (Darnes) has not looked at Roswell, OK? He has not looked at Roswell, now there was a thought that he would like to, and that has been blown from the thought that I'd like to look at it to the thought that, you know, and Ed went uuuuuuh, out of site, mean, it followed a UFO cunre, OK, so kill that rumor. Way back in the corner. (Q on Mars machinery). Its moving, the machinery is moving, so I dont know, if its from a leftover civilization its got a long-live battery, its better than any of the dolls we put out on Christmas, I tell you, OK? (Q on more of the same). Yeah, its a structure, that's what I say, there are structures on the surface, and incidentally I don't want to take thunder away from any tomorrow, because you are going to get a chit-chat about that tomorrow and I don't want to trail on somedoby else's toes, all I that I am saying is that there are structures on top, there are structures underneath, there are machines on top ahhhh I got a UFO!!! (Laughter) Zooong and another alien hits the dust. OK, we need to warp this in short order. (Q on whether viewers need to be in trance). All the viewers that we chosen so far are known quantities, there are all people that I know personally, and thats very important because it goes back to that pitch that I made or that notion that I made on what RV was not in the beginning, and I cannot afford to have anybody that does not have absolute total integrity and absolute total that I can totally trust, so I demand total integrity, totally integrative person, because I don't want this thing done in a way that will in any shape, form or fashion be construed as being outside the limits of normal conduct, so they are chosen very carefully. The second thing is, do they go into a trance? Well, I think mentioned we measured some of them and they are in a Theta brain wave state. OK, one more. (Q on crop circles). No, only because, you know, we are a for profit organization, Psi Tech is a for profit organization, OK? and if somebody would like to have the crop circles looked at, we would be more than happy to look at crop circles. Now there has been some very casual looking, you know, just to kind of test what it was and what was going on, and so there is some minor inforrnation, but we have not really done that as a process. OK, let me say in conclusion, I think I want to burn that ta back there because I am not sure that I want any of this on tape. (End of tape)
