Our Mission:
STAR Reports
survey exotic physics and consciousness concepts related to
the survival or otherwise of the human race. The STARstream
material will from time to time appear as the Spacetime
Threat Assessment Report, targeted to various select
contacts in the defense and intelligence community.
PUBLIC POLICY STATEMENT
On Our Sources and Methods
STARstream Research was not intended to be a source for the public at
large
In response to considerable interest in our work, we created STARpod.org
as our public website
Many of our sources will only provide information on a "deep background"
not for attribution basis
A note from
the founder of
STARstream Research: Our policy on unnamed sources, background and deep
background information.

Note added on October 13th, 2007: The new STARpod.org website is
intended to eventually take up the distribution of stories of interest
to the public.
Note added on September 21, 2011: The revised policy for PsycheLeaks.org may
at times violate the stated policy for STARstream Research, where evaluated to
be in the best interest of the public at large.
(STARpod.org) -- It was brought to my attention that
STARstream Research lacked
a proper editorial policy with respect to undisclosed, unnamed sources
and leads. Working our way through murky waters surrounding rumor and
innuendo about advanced technology, paraphysical and paranormal
phenomena, and beyond, I came to realize the importance of providing a
public statement for SSR and our various sources.
STARstream Research was never intended to be based around a journalistic
enterprise. I originally conceived of SSR as a way to organize sources
of information, and provide creative input to various contacts I had
developed in the past ten years or so. The need for SSR to establish
a home base on the internet followed from initial efforts to
disclose information, using PR Web to distribute press release
statements. SSR press release statements are often copied and cloned on
numerous web sites, and the original statements often reach hundreds of
thousands of readers. Contacts from various film makers, the producer of
a national syndicated radio program and individuals looking for
additional information, as well as input coming from various sources
required SSR to establish a web site where we could provide an easily
accessed information center.
In developing the web site, I often decided to put raw material ahead of
functionality and press forward in spite of glaringly obvious
deficiencies in production value. Our research is first and foremost the
primary goal and SSR product follows as a means of disseminating some of
our results. In addition to providing stories, we recently introduced
a forum to allow visitors to our web site to express their opinions and
interact with each other. Our addition of Caryn Anscomb as
contributing writer has provided a badly needed additional point of
view.
The STARstream Research web site evolved into an internet destination
for stories provided by sources that often prefer to remain
unnamed. Various reasons are given, usually related to their present or
past work for the government. The need for a policy statement regarding
sources is well overdue. I recently discussed the need for 'deep
background' with a source that I shall refer to as 'deep thought' (with
all due respect to the late Douglas Adams, author of "The Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy.")
In the past SSR reporting has been operating in 'rogue' mode.
(I use this definition: "Operating outside normal or desirable
controls.")
I thought it might be wise to review the accepted working definition of
"deep background." As there are some disagreements about the meaning
of deep background, I consulted the Washington Post "Policies on
Sources, Quotations, Attribution, and Datelines."
The most celebrated deep background of the past fifty years was 'deep
throat,' Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward's source during the
Watergate investigation. Washington Post policy guidelines describe deep
background as information that, "...can be included in the story, but
not attributed. That means there is no way to help readers understand
where it is coming from, which is why we discourage the use of deep
background."
The primary use of deep background information is to direct the
investigation to other sources that are able to confirm the developing
storyline.
Ultimately the SSR information base must be developed from 'official'
government and private sector documentation. This, for example, is why
we rely heavily on CIA released STAR GATE files as basis for further
investigation. To address issues that are more speculative, but
important, I created "The Psi Spy" series. The information and feedback
we receive on background and deep background are an essential part of
this series.
Many sources are employees past and present of the government, the
military or advise the government, often at a very high level. Other
sources interact directly with parties identified as key figures in our
investigation.
Our primary purpose then, is to enlighten both the public and especially
those in positions of influence able to affect the direction of our
national interests, and the world community as a whole.
In order to effectively build confidence with our sources in the
future, I have decided that SSR policy on unnamed sources will generally
follow from guidelines provided to journalists working for the
Washington Post.
His name is Ingo Swann. In the 1970s, he was one of America's secret
weapons brought to bear against the Soviet Union: a psychic spy,
personally tested by the CIA. In the 1980s, Swann held a TOP SECRET
clearance, and was instrumental in training Army and Defense
Intelligence Agency personnel. Swann's psychic methods were a key
component in the mind-war arsenal of the USAF, the Army, the Navy,
the Defense Intelligence Agency, and many others, hidden deep inside
compartments of the government.
A few years later Swann wrote one of the most bizarre accounts in
the history of the paranormal was effort, now documented by CIA
sanctioned release of the once super-secret programs known as STAR
GATE. According to Swann, a super-secret group led by a mysterious
"Mr. Axelrod" (his real name remains a closely held secret) put him
mind-to-mind and face-to-face against an extraterrestrial avatar in
human form.
The story of extraterrestrial human-mind to alien-mind telepathy,
dangerous personal encounters, and a near-death experience of coming
under laser fire from an extraterrestrial vehicle somewhere in the
northern wilderness of Alaska, sounds like pages torn from a science
fiction novel.
The core of the story is the threat of invasive 'telepathy' to
penetrate the human conscious experience.
"These slippery fish, these old birds, often speak with fork
tongues...double innuendos. If you don’t speak the lingo, and most of
us don’t, it’s all too easy to lose the context in the translation!"
"The idea of a Spacetime Threat Assessment Report --
a STAR report -- is based on the assumption that future events can
influence the present moment, even if those future events are not a
part of our reality. We were interested in the possibility of using
anomalous mental phenomena to accelerate human knowledge. By 2004, I
had surveyed the results of hundreds of papers posted at the physics
archive."
From the world of psychic spies, paranormal goat killers, and Skinwalkers
haunting remote regions of Utah, something wicked and wacky this way comes.
Drawn from the files of the private intelligence source STARstream Research:
A real-life tall-tale of espionage. At the core, a confrontation at CIA HQ
between a former CIA official and officers of the United States Air Force.
Twenty years later, the game continues where disturbing worlds collide. The
heart of the matter: a US Government UFO Working Group, dark secrets kept in
the shadows under the guise of counter-intelligence operations of the United
States Air Force, and decades-old rumors of extraterrestrial contact with
"something not of this world." The Official's concern: hidden within tales
of "Real Life X-Files" a potentially dangerous viral marketing scheme,
possibly intended to elicit real classified information from past and
present intelligence officers.
Stranger still, government files prove that the US government spent
decades exploring the paranormal psychic spying, in an effort to "know the
future" and beat the Russians, in a race to obtain technologies from beyond
our world.
This book is a collection of articles and materials originally published
on-line by STARstream Research, PR Web, and The American Chronicle, and at
the "Spies, Lies, and Polygraph Tape" blog. This is the first time they have
been made available in print. Included in this volume is the popular article
"To the Moon and Back, With Love," the story of CIA psychic Ingo Swann's
extraterrestrial encounters.
Also included in this volume: The sixteen part mini-book "Knowing the
Future: CIA, 9/11, UFOs, and the Extraterrestrial Presence," about the race
to obtain "alien" technologies.

A former CIA senior analyst
commented: "You do a
service. Excellent analysis from
what is officially released
material needs constancy of
theme and purpose, not simply
"expose'" morning coffee. You do
excellent analysis. I sure as
heck am learning things I didn't
know, but which fit like my
hands in gloves I was shown but
never allowed to try and put
on."
