Psychic Intelligence Gathering Used to Defend Homeland

WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--During the Cold War, “Remote Viewers” were used to collect intelligence on Soviet and Chinese weapons systems and their R&D.

“Reading the Enemy's Mind: Inside Star Gate -- America's Psychic Espionage Program”

To avoid being left vulnerable, for 23 years, from 1972 until 1995, the American Defense and Intelligence Community sponsored research and deployed operational units of Psychic Warriors. The premise was simple, and the results staggering.

While still controversial, the dire consequences of homeland defense errors are causing renewed interest in using the science of clairvoyance to help keep U.S. citizens out of harms way. Now, for the first time in a publicly accessible forum, anyone can learn the techniques of seeing behind the lines.

InfowarCon, the world’s premier congress on cyber-terrorism, information warfare and critical infrastructure protection (www.infowarcon.com) is hosting a full day training seminar on psychic intelligence gathering.

Hosted by Paul Smith, retired U.S. Intelligence Officer and author of bestselling book, “Reading the Enemy's Mind: Inside Star Gate -- America's Psychic Espionage Program," (Tor/Forge 2005, ISBN: 0312875150), attendees will get first hand experience at remote identifying. Mr. Smith was a highly acclaimed Remote Viewer for heavily classified Remote Viewing projects and is credited with authoring the original Controlled Remote Viewing training manual.

According to InfowarCon founder Winn Schwartau, “today, we have to bring out all of the stops to defend ourselves against all kinds of enemies. Our best defense is to know what they know.”

In this first of a kind full day seminar, students will learn the basics of Remote Viewing and engage in actual Remote Viewing sessions themselves. Mr. Smith will give the complete history and detail the incredible successes this mind-bending Star Gate program offered the U.S. intelligence community.
