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).
