Welcome to another countdown to Hallowe'en! This year, October 31st will mark the 500th anniversary of the start of the
Protestant Reformation.
Martin Luther (1483-1546) nailed his
Ninety-Five Theses to the door of
All Saints' Church in Wittenberg, Germany in 1517. On October 31st, I will publish a special interview about Martin Luther.
The Hallowe'en countdown is an online event, a mass blogathon, in which dozens of blogs count down to the end of October every year. The countdown is led by
this blog (where you can see the other participants), run by the American comic book and graphic novel writer,
John Rozum, and blogger
Shawn Robare, who runs the Gen X Website,
Branded in the 80s.
My contributions to the Hallowe'en countdown, to be published this year every three days, tend to cover odd subjects which nonetheless shed light on mainstream Millennial technology and culture. Today's post deals with the
precognition and temporal psi protocol developed by the US Army in 1978, known as
remote viewing. This was one of the primary psychic weapons cultivated in the
Stargate Project; you can read the table of contents of the Stargate manual at the CIA's online reading room,
here.
During the Cold War, the US military used
remote viewing to view its enemies psychically and to foresee the future. A film dramatized this work,
The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009); it was based on the
2004 book of the same name and starred George Clooney. On 12 August 2017,
Leonard (Lyn) Buchanan, one of the US government's former remote viewers (and the person upon whom Clooney's character was based), gave an interview on
Youtube, below.

Buchanan stated that at the end of World War II, the Nazis' secret research was shared among the Allies. Due to lack of interest from the USA and UK, the Russians took the Germans' psychic and esoteric experiments, including remote viewing. According to Buchanan, the Russians developed this body of knowledge, and achieved apparent successes, to the alarm of the Americans. The most famous psychic in the Russian program was
Nina Kulagina (1926-1990), who was later accused of fraud.
This was what led the US Army to develop the Stargate Project, officially until 1995, although the CIA may then have taken it over under another name. You can read a 1985 Master's thesis,
Psychokinesis and Its Possible Implication to Warfare Strategy by W. G. Norton,
here. There is a 2004 report by Eric W. Davis,
Teleportation Physics Study, sponsored by the Air Force Research Laboratory at
Edwards Air Force Base,
here.
Lyn Buchanan claimed that remote viewers can see the past and present with high degrees of accuracy. They can view the future, but the future (unlike the past and present) is changeable. Buchanan maintained that he had been tasked to view as far into the future as the year 2080, whereupon he got into strange, conspiratorial territory:
"An agrarian society with very few people. Large cities, mainly deserted, and most people very self sufficient on their little farms. ... A low population count. That's what I found. ... [Between now and 2080] there's going to come some rough times. ... The population will be greatly affected. ... Intentional changes, from the tasking - remember there's 30 per cent inaccuracy here - from what I've found, the first step of all that is what is called chemtrails. The chemtrails are a selective thing that will damage the health of, or even kill off, certain types of people, while leaving others not so badly affected. And in the process, a sort of genetic selection will be made. But that's doom and gloom, and one of the rocks in the pond of time, I don't think there's very much we can do about that."
Other weirdness associated with Buchanan's remote viewing involves psychic police work; gambling; space exploration; space aliens; cosmology; and consciousness. He said he does not "kill things" using remote viewing, but "it's scarily easy to do." Another figure associated with this project is
Joseph McMoneagle, who was the first recruit in the US Army's remote viewing program. He was designated as 'Psychic Spy 001.' You can hear an interview with him below. He spoke of visiting Russia, touring their remote viewing facilities and meeting his Russian psychic spy counterparts, who did remote viewing in the
conflict in Chechnya. He remarked that the Russian capacity for remote viewing is "substantial."

The
CIA is also rumoured to have used this parapsychological tool in psychic espionage. The US government's remote viewing training manual is

here. I have previously written about psychic military projects
here.

Remote viewing is considered pseudoscience, but it has understandably attracted a lot of attention. After all, what government - or civilian group - wouldn't want to be able to predict coming events, re-examine historical events, or send spies to learn closely guarded secrets at almost no expense or risk? The
Chinese have studied remote viewing. The
UK's Ministry of Defence
secretly ran a
remote viewing experiment in
2001 and
2002. Some members of the public are also attempting to conduct organized investigations of this protocol. For example, German remote viewers are listed
here.
Proponents of remote viewing claim that the technique seems to work best under blind conditions, that is, viewers should not know what target the project leader has assigned. Some remote viewers, like
this one trying to foresee the possibility of war with Russia, use Associative Remote Viewing (ARV), which involves knowing the target.
