Remote Viewing — A Comprehensive History on Remote Viewing

 

Remote View­ing as far back as the 70s?

I found this great arti­cle on Remote View­ing which talks about the his­tory of Remote View­ing in the United States. The study of psy­chic phe­nom­ena was first received atten­tion in the 1970s, how­ever they were miles off dis­cov­er­ing the incred­i­ble meth­ods of remote view­ing. If you read this arti­cle to the end you’ll know all the facts you could imag­ine about remote view­ing and be able to track back the course of history.

In the 80s and 90s Remote View­ing was pretty much a top secret activ­ity only known by a few spe­cial peo­ple. So read on and dis­cover how Remote View­ing evolved over the years to the mega phe­nom­e­non it’s become today.

Remote View­ing His­tory: Facts, Names & Dates

About Its Trans­fer From Top Secret Mil­i­tary Espi­onage To Cor­po­rate America

The facts regard­ing Remote View­ing His­tory have become a con­tro­ver­sial issue over the past decade.

  When PSI TECH first intro­duced Remote View­ing to the pub­lic in 1989, nobody, except for only a few who were inti­mately involved, knew of the technology’s exis­tence and that is where the con­fu­sion began.

  There were PSI researchers from the 1970’s who had some expe­ri­ence with early involve­ment research­ing psy­chic phe­nom­ena and even though they did wit­ness some inter­est­ing results, they did not dis­cover any­thing very new or any great break­throughs. How­ever, a few years later, world renowned physi­cist Hal Puthoff picked up the ball and was granted $50,000 to con­duct his own inves­ti­ga­tion to find a way to train peo­ple to become psy­chic. He began work­ing solely with New York psy­chic, Ingo Swann.

The two dis­cov­ered the work­ing remote view­ing pro­to­cols which were then taken from them in 1983 by US Army Intel­li­gence and put to the test by a small oper­a­tional unit which con­sisted of only a few trained indi­vid­u­als. The Remote View­ing unit was housed under the direc­torate of the Defense Intel­li­gence Agency at Fort Meade. Ingo Swann and Hal Puthoff were no longer involved and only a very select few knew of the units existence.

The group was tasked with real world tar­gets and they did pro­vide use­ful adjunct Intel in many life and death cri­sis sit­u­a­tions. Towards the end of the 80’s word began to trickle out around the Intel­li­gence com­mu­nity about this strange group of army Intel gath­er­ers and peo­ple who did not under­stand it, grew sus­pi­cious and afraid.

  In 1988 a turn over of admin­is­tra­tion caused the unit to fall into a dis­ar­ray of admin­is­tra­tors, so one Gen­eral, one Major and one Colonel took the ini­tia­tive to usher the RV tech­nol­ogy into the pri­vate sec­tor by form­ing a cor­po­ra­tion that would pledge to keep the tech­nol­ogy unadul­ter­ated and pure, PSI TECH was formed in 1989 to accom­plish this mission.

  Nor­mally, pri­va­tiz­ing a clas­si­fied top secret tech­nol­ogy would be against army pol­icy but influ­en­tial folks in high places had wit­nessed the technology’s effec­tive­ness and feared that it would be lost when the unit fell into chaos.

PSI TECH con­tin­ued to work for gov­ern­ment agen­cies as a pri­vate con­sult­ing com­pany and in 1991 moved from Wash­ing­ton DC to Albu­querque, New Mexico.

  In 1994, Jon­ina Dou­rif became PSI TECH’s Vice Pres­i­dent and PSI TECH relo­cated from its head­quar­ters in New Mex­ico to Bev­erly Hills, Cal­i­for­nia. Shortly after­wards, PSI TECH also opened a satel­lite office on the island of Maui in the state of Hawaii.

  As the civil­ian sec­tor learned of this new phe­nom­e­nal tech­nique that could train any­body to be more con­sis­tently accu­rate then the worlds best psy­chics, many oppor­tunists began mak­ing sim­i­lar claims and sell­ing their own made-up train­ing sys­tems, con­se­quently mis­lead­ing the pub­lic. The mar­ket place has since become lit­tered with hun­dreds of false Remote View­ing meth­ods and many “make-believe” Remote View­ing claims.

 
  PSI TECH main­tains that there is only “one Method” and any­body who claims oth­er­wise is sell­ing you a their own mis­lead­ing made-up ver­sion of Remote View­ing. (Many of these folks are not even famil­iar or knowl­edge­able of the real RV pro­to­cols.) PSI TECH ini­tially trained every­body in the civil­ian sec­tor and some early stu­dents, like Court­ney Brown, formed their own schools and changed what he learned to mar­ket his own ver­sion of the orig­i­nal TRV protocols.

  PSI TECH does not endorse peo­ple who change the TRV pro­to­cols before they have even become pro­fi­cient Remote View­ers in the orig­i­nal pro­to­cols they were taught. This would be the equiv­a­lent of hav­ing a per­son who only just learned to fly an air­plane imme­di­ately become a mas­ter instruc­tor. Unfor­tu­nately, the spread of inex­pe­ri­enced teach­ers of remote view­ing have cre­ated a pol­luted mar­ket­place lit­tered with unskilled prac­ti­tion­ers who do not rep­re­sent the true effec­tive­ness of this very valu­able and pow­er­ful technology.

  As if the waters weren’t mud­died enough, there is also the prob­lem of the pre-discovery researchers from the 70’s who sur­faced to cash in on the Remote View­ing fad that was under­way. But they are sell­ing older ver­sions of Remote View­ing before the break­through dis­cov­ery of the pro­to­cols in the early 80’s.

  It is impor­tant to dis­tin­guish the dif­fer­ence between the “RV research pro­gram” which was funded by the CIA that involved Ed May & Joe McMonea­gle, Rus­sell Targ & Keith Her­ary and the Super Secret “RV Oper­a­tional Unit” which was ini­ti­ated by INSCOM and cov­eted under the umbrella of the DIA to uti­lize the dis­cov­ered protocols.

The lat­ter was funded by the US ARMY and was ini­tially run under the super­vi­sion of Gen­eral Albert Stub­blebine then handed off to Gen­eral Edwin Thomp­son and then, passed over to Dr. Jack Verona. Under Jack Verona the unit fell into chaos when civil­ian admin­is­tra­tors (such as Dale Graff) brought in tarot card read­ers and Chan­nelors to work with the trained remote view­ers. It was at this point that the oper­a­tional unit split up and the trained RVers went to work for PSI TECH.

  In 1990 “CIA research” picked the Remote View­ing unit up and named it “Star­gate.” They hired Ray Hyman and Jes­sica Utts as pro­fes­sional research eval­u­a­tors to asses the Remote View­ing pro­gram. Although there were no trained Remote view­ers left the CIA con­ducted the study as a strat­egy in order to doc­u­ment the eval­u­a­tion as “min­i­mally effec­tive” and then to mount a dam­age con­trol cam­paign in the pub­lic as a respon­sive action to a book that PSI TECH was about to release through Ran­dom House.

  The funny part is that PSI TECH stopped the release of the book at the last minute while the CIA“s dam­age con­trol cam­paign was already under way. The pub­lic first saw the CIA’s pub­lic rela­tions cam­paign about the declas­si­fi­ca­tion of their Remote View­ing research with Joe McMonea­gle, Jes­sica Utts and Ray Hyman on Night line hosted by Ted Kop­pel in 1995.

  Remote View­ing his­tor­i­cal facts are still quashed by some who want to main­tain a premise that the “RV OPs unit” and the “RV Research Program“program were one and the same but this is not the case at all. Joe McMonea­gle, who was the main test sub­ject for the “RV research pro­gram”, did not even know about the “RV oper­a­tional unit” until he was paraded on TV in 1995 by the CIA’s pub­lic rela­tions dam­age con­trol cam­paign. (Note: that is why he did not know who PSI TECH was then).

    I was look­ing for infor­maiton about some exam­ples of suc­cess­ful remote view­ing, not the his­tory. I am new to remote view­ing except I had heard of it 15 or20 years ago on talk shows.
