For those not familiar with the U.S. Psychotronics Association, the book Energetic Processes provides a fascinating window into their world of high-tech weirdness. Volume I, Interaction between Matter, Energy and Consciousness, offers 19 articles by 19 different authors, each a member of the U.S. Psychotronics Association. Some big names show up on these pages: Eldon A. Byrd, Andrija Puharich, Jack Houck, Robert C. Beck, and Thomas E. Bearden to name a few. Here is the Amazon.com listing:
Of special interest is Beck's paper "Extremely Low Frequency Magnetic Fields and EEG Entrainment: A Psychotronic Warfare Possibility?" (presented at the Annual Conference of the U.S. Psychotronics Association, Dayton, OH, 1978). See an internet copy here:
Equally interesting is a 1991 history of Remote Viewing by Jack Houck titled "Remote Viewing and Psychokinesis Research." Several of his articles may be found at his webpage:
One may recall that Mr. Houck was the man who taught Col. Alexander and Gen. Stubblebine how to bend spoons with the power of one's mind, and he hosted several "PK Parties" during the early 1980s. See Paul Smith's Reading the Mind of the Enemy (reviewed below) for more.

The Men Who Stare At Goats

Hardcover: 272 pages
Publisher: Simon & Schuster (April 5, 2005)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0743241924
ISBN-13: 978-0743241922


Soon to be released as a major motion picture starring George Clooney and Jeff Bridges, this off-the-wall expose by Jon Ronson explores the "more whacked-out corners of George W. Bush's war on terror."

Ronson takes us on a tour of the U.S. military's strange psychological warfare programs in a disturbing yet disarmingly funny romp that stumbles upon some serious human rights abuse. Highly readable, the book shines much needed light on several military programs that seem certifiably insane.

For example, we meet the New Age leaders of the touch-feely First Earth Battalion, a group of "psychic assassins" who believe that they can kill goats by staring at them, martial artists who trained the 911 pilots in "kamikaze mind," and PsyOp soldiers who torture prisoners in Iraq by locking them into sheds and playing the theme tune to Barney the Purple Dinosaur ("I Love You") full blast for 24 hours a day.

Ronson also dares to ask: "Why have 100 debleated goats been secretly placed inside the Special Forces Command Center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina?" and "How was the U.S. military [remote viewing program] associated with the mysterious mass suicide of a strange cult from San Diego?"

This amazing book puts a human face on the "Wizards of Oz" who run the Army's psychological warfare department. Of most interest to voice hearers may be Ronson's cheeky interview with Col. John B. Alexander and his wide-eyed exploration of subliminal sound technology in a chapter titled "The Frequencies. " This plucky reporter actually manages to track down Dr. Oliver Lowery, owner of the patent for the Silent Subliminal Presentation System.

In fact, with typical British humor and effrontery, Ronson does a bang-up job summarizing the entire history of American Psy-Ops for the last 30 years. It's an outstanding read. Highly recommended.

Reading The Enemy's Mind: Inside Star Gate, America's Psychic Espionage Program

By Paul H. Smith (2005)

http://readingtheenemysmind.com/


Available at Google Books by searching on title.

Back cover:

"From behind the cloak of U.S. military secrecy comes the story of Star Gate, the project that for nearly a quarter of a century trained soldiers and civilian spies in extra-sensory perception (ESP). Their objective: To uncover the secrets of America's enemies using a skill called "remote viewing." Assigned to the remote viewing unit in 1983 at a pivotal time in history, Army Major Paul H. Smith served there for the rest of the decade, witnessing and taking part in many of the seminal national-security crises of the twentieth century."


Relevance to Artificial Telepathy: Smith provides an overview of the key organizations and people in the U.S. Army, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and the Central Intelligence Agency who have pursued the use of remote viewing and "natural" telepathy as a weapons system. It's an extraordinarily well-sourced and highly detailed account that gives names, dates and places from about 1970 forward to 2002.

The development of artificial telepathy, synthetic telepathy and psychotronic weapons has definitely followed a "Star Gate pattern." Indeed, one might think of Remote Viewing and Artificial Telepathy as the right hand and left hand of the same PsyOps program. With regard to research, organization, funding, training, doctrine, rules of engagement and operational procedures, the two telepathy programs are nearly identical. They are headed by the same key people and organizations: DIA, CIA, Army INSCOM, the Office of Naval Intelligence and the Air Force. Within the university community and the military weapons lab system, they share the same facilities.

Summary Review

Without any "official" evidence to support the claim that the U.S. military is zapping the brains of innocent civilians with acoustic weapons that mimic telepathy, one must turn to sources like Paul Smith's book, Reading The Enemy's Mind , which provides a valuable window into the DIA's Star Gate Program from its inception in 1983 to its "hijacking" by the CIA in 1995.

The book clearly indicates that certain special operations officers at the Pentagon have pursued an intense interest in telepathy for years. It indicates that the U.S. Army played a lead role in the R&D and the Army clearly intends to use telepathy as an active PsyOp weapons system. It also attests that intense telepathy research has been funded secretly for decades by the Defense Intelligence Agency and the CIA.

Much of the information provided by author Paul Smith is now outdated, but this book provides a fairly reasonable facsimile of the structure, doctrine and training of DoD personnel within present-day black programs. If there are teams of covert operatives using cutting-edge artificial telepathy systems to zap the brains of innocent civilians, then these black-op teams are probably organized much like the Remote Viewing teams described in Smith's book.

The book shows these people with a human face. It provides many photographs.

The book also beautifully illustrates the kind of political squabbling and in-fighting that still goes on between the Air Force, Army INSCOM, DIA, CIA, Congress and the academics at major universities.

About the only happy or positive conclusion one can reach is this: If the Artificial Telepathy programs run by the Army are even half as messed up as the Remote Viewing program was, then there is hope for TIs everywhere. It's quite possible the Army's "Synthetic Telepathy" program will trip over its own bootlaces, the way Stargate did, and knock itself cold.


Key People Mentioned in Smith's Book:




Maj. Gen. Albert Stubblebine III, Commanding General, U.S. Army INSCOM (ret.) Former Commanding General of the U.S. Electronics Research and Development Command (ERADCOM). Also commanded the Army intelligence school at Ft. Huachuca. Named both by Smith's book and by Jon Ronson's book The Men Who Stare at Goats (2004) as a founding father of the Army's psychic warfare programs during the early 1980s.

Ronson devotes the entire first chapter of his book to "The General." He describes Stubblebine as "the United States Army's chief of intelligence, with sixteen thousand soldiers under his command. He controls the army's signals intelligence, their photographic and technical intelligence, their numerous covert counterintelligence units, and their secret military spying units, which are scattered throughout the world. He would be in charge of the prisoner-of-war interrogations too, except this is 1983, and the war is cold, not hot. . . . His job is to assess the intelligence gathered by his soldiers and pass his evaluations on to the deputy director of the CIA and the chief of staff of the army, who in turn pass it up to the White House."

In 1981, Army INSCOM inherited Operation Grill-Flame, one of the first Remote Viewing programs, from the Defense Intelligence Agency, and Gen. Stubblebine was put in charge. Grill-Flame was renamed Operation Center Lane. The program had originally been run by Jack Verona, a nuclear physicist and head of the DIA's Scientific and Technical Intelligence Directorate, who simultaneously ran a DIA mind-control program called "Sleeping Beauty" that dealt with the offensive use of microwave weapons.

Note: Psi-Tech reportedly purchased the patent for the Subliminal Sound Presentation System brought to America by Dr. Igor Smirnov (see Marshall, page 5). But there has been a sea-change at Psi-Tech since 2001. The new chairman and CEO is Dane Spotts, and the new president is Joni Dourif, ex-wife of actor Brad Dourif. More than 30 boxes of corporate documents were taken from Joni's office, and it is possible they have lost the patent papers.

Lt. Col. John Alexander - Chief of the Army INSCOM Advanced Human Technology Office, an agency created by Gen. Stubblebine as part of the Army INSCOM "Beyond Excellence" Program. This is the program that started the spoon-bending craze, described by Paul Smith in the first chapter of his book.

Many targetted individuals look on Col. Alexander as the Pentagon's top spook when it comes to artificial telepathy and psychic warfare. In fact he was relatively low on the totem pole, reporting to Gen. Stubblebine, who in return reported to the Army Chief of Staff.

For a more detailed profile, see the earlier post on "The Aviary" and the extensive biography on page 88 of Monarch: The New Phoenix Program by Marshall Thomas (PDF can be downloaded using the link at left).

Alexander began his military career in the Green Berets and alledgedly participated in the CIA's Phoenix program (an assassination program that killed thousands of people in Vietnam). Evidence that Alexander participated in the Phoenix program seems a bit thin, but no one denies that he was a commander of Army Special Forces teams in Thailand and Vietnam from 1966 to 1969. He "led Cambodian mercenaries behind enemy lines, and took part in a number of clandestine programs, including Phoenix," according to Steven Aftergood in a biographical sketch written for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists ("The Soft Kill Fallacy," 10 Sept 1994, v 50, No. 5, p 40).

Alexander's wife, Victoria Lacas Alexander, is a student of "non-traditional spirtual realms including spiritual possession" with an emphasis on the study of Candomble, Umbanda, and the use of the psychedelic medicine ayahuasca to achieve trance states.
