Well Dames certainly did his share to discredit RV, but it's origins were with Ingo Swan and Harold E. Puthoff and Russ Targ. Prapsychological research which was corrupted by military application. In my opinion. Just my two cents worth.

I read the book "Psi Spies" by Jim Marrs. It is interesting to read about what they are trying to see. When I had my OBE, I had little control over it. Maybe a RV who goes into space may describe cities on Mars when (s)he might actually be on a planet across the galaxy.
I look at it this way, while there may be kooks out there, the government would not of spent hundreds of millions of dollars and years on the subject if they thought it did not exist.

BTW, cool avatar andolin

and this is one of the quacks i mentioned in my post above this one.

Thank you for your brilliant observations.

I even starred this one post just because you didn't ignore me. (thank you so very much!) .......I guess at least I'm an honest quack? I am not an intentional hoaxer or disinformationist. Maybe it's part of my programing? (idk)

Even deluded people seems to be part of someones program. Afterall, this is a conspiracy site. I guess I'm not as good at denying ignorance like the best ones here do. Ignorance........arogance? I get these confused.


So,...I'm assuming that you also know Russell Targ, Paul Smith and Joe Mc Moneagle? Ask them if I'm a quack. I heard Joe M. doesn't like negativity. (my bad)

Remote viewing obviously shouldn't be misunderstood. Blind or double blind studies may be perceived as some amount of proof, but, not from my suspicions of deception.

Interesting that I had actually thought there was an interview with Ingo Swann here on ATS MIX. I searched for it and it doesn't exist. (anymore?)

Maybe it was posted from another site?

Your defending Remote Viewing (in such a way) suggests something more 'personal'......which I'm guessing is probably out of character with the teachings of the Remote Viewing program?

It's a good thing to be able to share and vent your feelings and convictions anyway. So, good luck with that.


If you don't respond; I can only assume you added me to my very long list of ignores by other people. I'm surprised you didn't get the U2U.

nothing personal here, i think it is just a shame that remote viewing has been lumped in with the tin hat crowd and it is because of the wild claims some misguided (or maybe disinfo agents) are making! and i think a couple of them here are p'oed that they have been found out.

and what U2U are you talking about?


aleon1018 pointed out what I was referring to here.

It wasn't so much that I was upset or offended by what you said, but you went so much farther into the extreme left-wing of calling anyone else but your own opinion as a wacky nutjob, I felt there would be other people offended even further so as to not want to even to listen to you seriously in your defense of remote viewing as real, with "disinformation agents" attacking it via false information, what you had to say sounded almost like you were working for them.

Does this make sense?

Life is about a balance.

When you thrash out in reflecting your opinion upon anyone else, you reflect also the idiocy that you are in fact attacking that you want to shine the light on.

I'm not upset with you, Fathom, as I understand your perspective well, but it's your own personal beliefs expressed through the words you chose to lay out there, that made it hard to even want to listen to what you had to say. No hard feelings. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings as well.

There seems to be little interest here on ATS with remote viewing as if it's been debunked already. The disinformationists like the military could be behind the tin foil hat thinking, just to discredit enough for their own agenda. That is another conspiracy aspect. So, I think it's important to consider the possible sources everywhere.

The U2U was written "as if" the site or someone else warned you to ignore me 'as if' sarcasm.

I have come to have even less faith in the internet being a credible source for questionable subjects whether it's UFO's, aliens or the like. People want the best possible proof you could give them.

I think it's important to just point out that you want to set the limits on it's more present credibility and ignore the rest as possible wanabe's and imagination. Did you even watch Suspect Zero?

I used to link to the PSI site for remote viewing awhile ago, but, am always suspicious of any business having a price on it without really knowing them. Some seemed to think it was spam so I quit.

There appears to be some yahoo groups in remote viewing with Paul Smith. I had asked about tasking the Califorrnia drones as a target and Paul Smith replied he hadn't bothered or whatever. Those postings could be military whether they are real or not. Paul Smith worked for the military. He did have some remote viewing articles in UFO magazine.

Like I said, I think I was a drop out originally, but unfortunately don't have any proof. How and what do you feel should be enough proof of it's success and credibility? Is that being a conservative or a realist?


Please share with us what you have tasked if you are able to from any of your history that led you to remote viewing and possible sessions; past threads or links. (practical remote viewing etc.)

I'm glad you started this thread anyway and even flagged it because I feel there's some amount of truth in what you say. It's just the delivery that was kinda rough.

I do practice remote viewing, I have read up on it quite a bit, and have had strange experiences due to that knowledge through sleep paralysis as well as some other events I talk very sparingly on the Paranormal Forum about.

I will drop you a U2U tonight when I get home from work, and finish the post I need to do in the debate I am currently in on the Debate Forum.

Remote Viewing Secrets: A Handbook : Joseph McMoneagle

The first thread there is also the name of Joseph McMoneagle's book, and I talk a little about the book as well as experiences I've had.

Mental Imagery From Words Or Images

This one has more to do with other experiences I've had.

Memoirs of a Psychic Spy: The Remarkable Life Of U.S. Government of Remote Viewer 001

This is an Amazon link to one of Joseph McMoneagle's other books he has out there.


I am by far no expert on the topic, and the intention behind supplying these links was only as reference points that I understand it, not as supplying expert opinion, nor to de-rail this thread.

First off, Im not so sure that the goverment has remote viewers anymore (no money left in the budget or maybe the chinese own them now or perhaps they are all living in dubai )

I believe there is a misconception about remote viewing... its not like getting a clear video stream of information that is obvious in its meaning.

I find that remote viewing is best done in groups so that common results can be identified and misc junk filtered out. Its information that comes through all the senses, sights, smells, sounds, etc. and the results of a session has to be analyzed. It is by no means an exact science in my experience, even with the most 'seasoned' remote viewers. Maybe one day it will be But ofcourse this is based on my own experiences and i can only speak to that.

I'll tell you why. because they only remote view things, places, times that cannot be proved or disproved...that is why. that is how they can let their imaginations run wild and no one questions them and all their fellow remote viewers oooh and aaah, and they all try to out do eachother with wilder claims than the last.

when i say "they" i am referring to the remote viewers that "astral travel" to mars and to the soul catcher on the moon...those guys...
not the real remote viewers that can go to another country and check in on what michael jackson is doing in Paris ...or whatever.
