Gus Russo is the
author of
several books
including "Live
by the Sword:
The Secret War
Against Castro
and the Death of
JFK." Russo has
worked as an
investigative
reporter for
PBS's Frontline
and ABC News. In
a story
published in
June of this
year, Russo
examined the
"Real X-Files"
behind the
infiltration of
government
intelligence
agencies into
networks of
investigative
citizen
journalists
interested in
exotic
phenomena, like
UFOs and
parapsychology.

According to
information
provided by an
independent
source to Gus
Russo, the STAR
GATE psychic spy
project "was
relocated from
CIA and is one
of the most
highly
classified at
NSA."
In 1995, the
CIA inherited
STAR GATE, a
top-secret
psychic spy
program run by
the Defense
Intelligence
Agency. STAR
GATE has become
the nickname for
numerous
government
programs,
beginning in
1972, that
explored and
applied human
mental powers to
collect
intelligence.
Many spy
agencies were
involved in STAR
GATE, or similar
projects,
including the
CIA, DIA, the
USAF, the Navy,
Army
Intelligence and
Missile Command,
Secret Service,
The Joint Chiefs
of Staff, and
others.
Another
agency known to
have been
involved was the
National
Security Agency
(NSA).
CIA killed
the STAR GATE
program in 1995,
shortly after a
Congressional
Mandate
transfered
control of the
program from
DIA. Several
years later,
approximately
89,000 pages of
STAR GATE
documents were
released to the
public, many
heavily redacted
with sections or
entire pages
removed or
censored in
black.
Sources are
telling
Starstream
Research that
America's
psychic spy
efforts continue
today as part of
the war on
terror.
Gus Russo's
source told him
"NSA considers
remote viewing a
valid SIGINT
tool."
Remote
viewing refers
to the use of
mental powers to
perform psychic
spying -- the
use of
extra-sensory
perceptions of
the human mind
to access
information not
available to
ordinary senses.
In the
Intelligence
Community, the
National
Security Agency
"collects,
processes and
disseminates
foreign Signals
Intelligence (SIGINT)."
According to
the NSA web
site, "SIGINT
plays a vital
role in our
national
security by
employing the
right people and
using the latest
technology to
provide
America's
leaders with the
critical
information they
need to save
lives, defend
democracy, and
promote American
values."
If Russo's
source is
correct, SIGINT
now includes
exotic
phenomenology
for intelligence
collection.
Government
persons and
citizens
interested in
exotic phenomena
are sometimes
called
phenomenologists.
In addition
to Russo's
source, another
unrelated former
government
scientist told
Caryn Anscomb, a
contributing
investigator for
Starstream
Research, of a
"deep black"
psychic spy
program.
One possible
explanation for
a current NSA
program is found
in 1994
briefings given
to various
intelligence
agencies,
including Andy
Marshall at the
Pentagon's
Office of Net
Assessment.
A year before
CIA killed the
STAR GATE
project, DIA
documents show
renewed interest
in Russian
phenomenology,
with the
discovery of a
possible
signal-carrying
mechanism for
psychic
phenomena. STAR
GATE scientific
research was
conducted by
defense
contractor
Science
Applications
International
Corporation (SAIC).
The final SAIC
report mentions
various possible
mechanisms for
signal
transmission.
The
NSA is
conspicuously
absent from
later-day STAR
GATE documents.
Incomplete
redacting, which
is the blacking
out of sensitive
information,
appears to
identify a
representative
from NSA in at
least one of the
1994 DIA
briefing
documents.
If a
transmission
mechanism was
discovered
during STAR GATE
research,
psychic spying
would change
from HUMINT
(human
intelligence
sources) to
SIGINT (signal
intelligence
sources).
Gus Russo's
unnamed source
reports strange
new developments
at the NSA
program.
According to
Russo, "The
source says the
program
encountered
problems when
when foreign
targets were
being blocked by
an
extraterrestrial
source that has
never been
identified."
STAR GATE
files prove that
DIA psychic
spies reported
encounters with
extraterrestrials
during the
1980's.
Documents
stamped with
official CIA
declassification
ID numbers
include drawings
of biological
entities and
descriptions of
their locations
on Earth, and in
space.
Investigator
Caryn Anscomb
asked Russo to
rate the
credibility of
his human source
for the latest
NSA revelation.
Russo replied,
"His
speculations are
sometimes
further than I
would go ... But
his accuracy re:
facts has never
been in
question."
Some of the
most vocal
opponents to the
possible
existence of the
NSA psychic-spy
program worked
with the
original STAR
GATE projects.
Paul H.
Smith, a former
DIA source, is
the President of
IRVA -- the
International
Remote Viewing
Association --
an organization
comprised of
veterans of
previous
government
programs and
next generation
private sector
psychics. When
asked about the
NSA program,
Smith replied,
"If there still
actually is one,
I have no info
on it."
Colonel John
B. Alexander,
retired, a well
known advocate
for non-lethal
weapons, told
Coast to Coast
AM host George
Noory he doubted
the government
was currently
involved in
remote viewing.
"The talent
pool is really
relatively small
... and most of
these people all
know each
other."
Russo told
Starstream
Research the NSA
remote viewers
had received
special
university-level
training.
A major
security breach
occurred in 1973
when, according
to numerous
accounts, SRI
remote viewers
Pat Price and
Ingo Swann spied
on NSA's Sugar
Grove facility
in West
Virginia.
The tale of
this incident
was told by
CIA's Ken Kress
in a 1999
revised version
of a formerly
secret story
written for
CIA's internal
"Studies in
Intelligence,"
and is recorded
in detail in the
STAR GATE SRI
Final Report for
January 1974 to
February 1975.
Kress writes,
"No maps were
permitted, and
the subjects
were asked to
give an
immediate
response of what
they remotely
viewed at these
coordinates. The
subject came
back with
descriptions
which were
apparent misses.
They both talked
about a
military-like
facility ... To
the surprise of
the [CIA] OSI
officer, he soon
discovered a
sensitive
government
installation a
few miles from
the vacation
property. This
discovery led to
a request to
have Price
provide
information
concerning the
interior
workings of this
particular site.
All the data
produced by the
two subjects
were reviewed in
CIA and the
Agency [NSA]
concerned."
"Pat Price,
who had no
military or
intelligence
background,
provided a list
of project
titles
associated with
current and past
activities
including one of
extreme
sensitivity.
Also, the
codename of the
site was
provided. Other
information
concerning the
physical layout
of the site was
accurate. Some
information,
such as the
names of the
people at the
site, proved
incorrect."
Pages from
the SRI report
are available
for viewing at
the Starstream
Research web
sites.
A few years
later, following
Price's death,
it was alleged
by the FBI that
Price had been
passing
information
about the SRI
research to a
private
organization.
Kress addressed
this incident in
the 1999 public
version of his
CIA article:
"In the late
1970s, several
years after the
project was
terminated, I
got a secure
line call from a
person who
identified
himself as an
FBI agent ...
The FBI agent
proceeded to
explain that Pat
Price was a
member of an
organization
that was
recently raided
for documents
indicative of
illegal
activity. The
organization was
vigorously
resisting the
government
investigation
but the raid
produced
hundreds of
files and papers
that supported
the government's
allegations.
These documents
were now in the
public domain as
part of the
discovery
process in the
legal
proceedings. One
such file
included
debriefings of
Pat Price about
his CIA remote
viewing projects
... As the file
made clear, Pat,
who had signed
an official
secrecy
agreement, would
immediately go
to his superior
in the
organization
after sessions
with me and
divulge
everything."
