CIA leaks are a fact of life in Washington. Recently it was alleged that President George W. Bush ordered the leak of classified material in order to justify the invasion of Iraq.

If the recent CIA leaks are coming down hard on the intelligence community, we have to wonder: Who turned on the psychic spy faucet? Some of our sources recently opened up about numerous, previously taboo topics, including supernatural events at Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, and government interest in paranormal phenomena.

Can you catch a TIGER by a tale?

Surprise attacks come in many flavors. Often they are anticipated, but warnings remain unheeded, to the benefit of the enemy. Take the recently formed TIGER committee, for example.

The TIGER committee followed from a DIA report on the threat of surprise advances in weaponized technology. One source, a TIGER committee member, hints that more than human threats are of concern. Apparently we struck a bit of a nerve when we publicly mentioned the TIGER committee, and comments made by our source that otherworldly phenomena had been a topic of discussion between TIGER members. We pointed out that any discussion, formal or informal, added a certain air of authenticity to the strangeness reported by veteran reporter George Knapp of bizarre events alleged to have occurred at the Skinwalker Ranch in Utah. Following our revelation of the TIGER committee, Knapp took the lead and asked Dr. Eric Davis, former Skinwalker research scientist working with the National Institute of Discovery Science, and later the author of a controversial USAF study into teleportation technology, about DIA interests in the paranormal events that allegedly took place on the ranch. Dr. Davis noted that he was a personal associate of our source, and confirmed that the ranch had been the topic of informal discussion by committee members.

We should mention that our source claimed this topic had been discussed, "ad nauseam," suggesting more than brief, polite dinner conversation. We also received an email from Dr. Davis, stating that one of the physicists studying the phenomena at Skinwalker Ranch had received a warning in the form of a powerful, 'telepathic' message. We assume that means he heard a 'voice' speaking to him inside of his head.

We wondered if our articles, and George Knapp's interview with Dr. Davis on Coast to Coast radio, had provoked any kind of reaction.

Another well placed source reported to us that, "Ron did ask if (our source on TIGER) had been saying anything more about it. I said no, and he said good. So that might constitute a reaction of sorts."

TIGER, the Defense Intelligence Agency sponsored National Research Council standing committee on Technology, Insight-Gauge, Evaluate, and Review is chaired by Dr. Ruth David, of ANSER, Inc. According to the biography of Dr. David provided by the ANSER website at www.anser.org, Ms. David served as the Deputy Director for Science and Technology at the Central Intelligence Agency from September 1995 to September 1998. She has received numerous awards from the CIA, the NSA, and the DIA. In addition to her position as chair of the TIGER committee, she is a member of the Department of Homeland Security Advisory Council and serves on the National Security Agency Advisory board. Dr. David is behind ANSER's homeland defense strategy and often lectures and briefs on the issues faced by the ever increasing dangers from terrorist groups and rogue nations. In 2004 the Department of Homeland Security tapped ANSER to create the government funded Homeland Security Institute.

Our undisclosed source, a member of Dr. Ruth David's TIGER committee, confirmed to Starstream Research his opinion that the existence of mind to mind communication, popularly known as telepathy, is an accepted reality. This source is a highly placed government consultant, formerly with CIA during the early days of research into psychic phenomena at the Stanford Research Institute. The early CIA research was focused on so-called natural psychics, unlike the official top-secret psychic spy programs that involved select military personnel.

Official TIGER committee interests include intelligence and threat analysis in the areas of new materials, nanotechnology, biotechnology, chemistry, electronics, communication systems, computer science, physics, aerodynamics and propulsion, with new weapons and spy systems in sight. The arena of psychological intelligence and warfare is missing from the official shopping list of TIGER concerns.

Natural Psychics and the War on Terror


As pointed out in Forbes Open Source Intelligence, by Robert David Steele, "...the only hijacked airplane that failed to hit its target on Sept. 11 was the one where informed citizens were able to take direct action. It gave proof that our national security establishment is broken. A $500 billion per year defense department and a $50 billion per year secret intelligence community failed where a few brave citizens armed only with cell phones succeeded."

Closure of the formerly secret DIA STAR GATE program, the 'official' secret military psychic spy effort, is another example of national security establishment failure. In the case of Flight 93, a handful of heroic citizens prevented Ziad Jarrah and his accomplices from crashing an airplane into the Capitol Building. Although military psychic sources had warned of this attack as early as 1983, there is no evidence in the records released to date that any action was ever taken to prevent this attack.

Author Jon Ronson, in his book, "The Men Who Stare at Goats," wrote about the use of non-military psychic spies to track down terrorist activities. If Ronson's sources ring true then there must exist a collection effort to obtain information from so-called natural psychics in the population at large. Mr. Smith, one of our contacts who often rubs shoulders with associates involved in intelligence matters, has mentioned a specific domestic intelligence collection waiver, a prerequisite for any domestic collection effort.

Mushroom clouds over the private psychic landscape of America


Jon Ronson, in his exposé of the military interest in the paranormal, "The Men Who Stare at Goats," reported that Angela Thompson, a remote viewer that had been trained by former psychic spies that had worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency, reported in 2002 that she was seeing mushroom clouds over Denver, Seattle, and Florida.

Similar warnings have been received by sources in the intelligence community tasked with the responsibility of protecting the lives and property of the population. General complacency to non-specific warnings means that the very best action that can be expected may be rapid response to tragedy when it takes place. There is a certain inevitability that leads to the acceptance of events as if the future must be written in stone, but the quantum theory of the many worlds of the multiverse tells us that the future is yet to be determined.
