 Psychic Spies, Acid Guinea Pigs, New Age Soldiers: The True Men Who Stare At Goats Author: David Hambling Source: Wired Title: THE TRUE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS “More of this is true than you would believe,” we’re told, just a few minutes into the movie version of The Men Who Stare At Goats, which opens today. But how many of the film’s outlandish military research projects really happened? Turns out there’s plenty of material in the movie which sticks quite close to the truth — though reality is a bit more complicated. (Warning: minor spoilers ahead.) Psychic spies? True. The non-fiction book which serves as the movie’s basis features Colonel John B. Alexander. He served as a Special Forces commander in Vietnam and spent decades promoting the use of psychics and “remote viewers” for national security. (That is, when he wasn’t pursuing his interests in -linguistic programming, UFOs, or non-lethal weapons.) In 2007, our own Sharon Weinberger interviewed Col. Alexander in some depth on the military use of witches. “They were doing palmistry, crystal ball kinds of stuff,” he said. | |

Ahr-Ohn (Bridgeport, Connecticut) - Email Me Camp Hero, in Montauk, is closed and flooded, as an everlasting question for the Conspiracy Theorists. It's probably just been used for a dispersal test of Agent BZ, ending a long line of such research. "The military’s interest in Eastern and alternative practices is once again on the rise. “Warrior mind training“, apparently based on ancient Samurai techniques, is being taught at Camp Lejeune as a possible treatment for PTSD. Elsewhere the Army has a $4 million initiative exploring other approaches including Reiki, transcendental meditation and “bioenergy.” The Air Force is looking into acupuncture for battlefield pain relief." Lots of ways, to handle PTSD, except for the ones they've been trying at Walter Reed. Did that fellow include Neurolinguistic Programming? Popular in the '70s. Arawn Graalrd |
