Episode notes
Stargate Produced Verifiable Remote Viewing Hits
- Project Stargate was a 20-year CIA/DoD program that systematically used remote viewing for military intelligence and left extensive declassified archives.
- Johnathan Bi shows Box 12 Folder 3 examples where remote viewers produced remarkably accurate target sketches like Stanford Shopping Center and other verified matches.
Remote Viewing Excels On Hidden And Temporal Targets
- Remote viewing often hit on hidden or non-obvious details, such as concealed objects, tunnels, or temporal states of a site.
- Examples include tunnel system maps, hidden cargo in trucks, a submarine example, and a rocket test showing a transient white cloud.
Cold War Pragmatism Fueled Government Parapsychology Programs
- Cold War pragmatism drove governments to fund psychic research despite ideological resistance because perceived operational value mattered more than embarrassment.
- The U.S., Soviet Union, and China all ran programs, spending millions as 'cheap insurance' during geopolitical rivalry.
