Alfred Hubbard
[Hubbard on left, presumably while at SRI] OSS officer in WWII. Hubbard first took LSD in 1951, and proceeded to turn on several individuals prominent in LSD research, including Dr. Humphrey Osmond, Myron Stolaroff, and Aldous Huxley, earning him the title of "the Johnny Appleseed of LSD". (Lee, Martin and Schlain, Bruce, Acid Dreams, Grove Press, 1985, pg 44) Hubbard later did undercover work for several agencies, including the FDA and FBI. He reportedly tried (and failed) to turn on J. Edgar Hoover. He introduced LSD to many high-ranking intelligence officers. In the early 1950's, he refused an offer to join the CIA. (Lee and Schlain, pg 52) In all, it is estimated that Hubbard introduced LSD to over 6,000 individuals. He worked until 1965 at the International Foundation for Advanced Study (mis-identified here, I think, as the International Federation for Advanced Studies) (Fahey, Todd Brendan, The Original Captain Trips", High Times, November 1991) Hubbard was hired by Willis Harman, then director of the Educational Policy Research Center at SRI to be a special investigative agent, earning $100 a day. Officially he was a security guard, although his actual duties included spying on the drug culture, which Hubbard, a political conservative, disdained. He stayed at SRI until the late 1970's. (Lee and Schlain, pg 198-9) Fahey describes Hubbard's work at SRI differently, placing him with the Alternative Futures Project, which sought to turn on the world's political and business leaders. He left SRI in 1974, and died on August 31, 1982. (Fahey) In February, 1979, Hubbard attended an LSD reunion party, hosted by Dr. Oscar Janiger, along with Laura Huxley, Sidney Cohn, John Lilly, Willis Harman, and Timothy Leary, among others. (Lee and Schlain, 213) Joseph McMoneagle 
In 1978 "he was assigned to the Headquarters of U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) in Arlington, Virginia, where he culminated his career acting as a Special Projects Intelligence Officer with the 902nd Military Intelligence Group for the remainder of his service." He retired in 1984. "Many unusual experiences have formed the foundation of his present company, Intuitive Intelligence Applications. A near-death experience (NDE), a UFO sighting, and numerous spontaneous out-of-body (OBE) episodes have caused him to spend the larger portion of his life seeking more effective answers to questions concerning reality. He became interested in remote viewing after participating in experiments at SRI International in California." "Joe is currently working on his next project, 'Expectations From the Year 3000'" ("Who is Joseph McMoneagle?", from the Controlled Remote Viewing Home Page) "I, Joseph W. McMoneagle, hold the distinction of being the only Remote Viewer associated with the 'Project' from its formalization under INSCOM as GRILLFLAME (mid-1978) throughout and until its termination as Project STARGATE (in 1995)" Viewer number #001/372. McMoneagle refutes many of claims made by Ed Dames, concerning his position and length of service in the remote-viewing program. (McMoneagle, Joe, A Response to Ed Dame's Statement on CRV") "I employed Joe in a number of operations, ca. 1980-82, while serving as an intelligence targeting officer at levels of DoD much higher than McMoneagle (or Buchanan) ever dreamed of having access to. However, since he is not trained, Joe has difficulty in recognizing when imagination begins to start slipping into his perceptions." (Dames, Ed, "Will the Real Lyn Buchanan Please Sit Down") Currently a research associate at Cognitive Sciences Laboratory. McMoneagle worked as a consultant to SRI and SAIC. In 1984, he received the Legion of Merit award for excellence in intelligence service. According to his citation, quoted by Ed May, "He served most recently as a Special Project Intelligence Officer for SSPD, SSD, and 902d MI group ... While with SSPD, he used his talents and expertise in the execution of more than 200 missions, addressing over 150 essential elements of information." (May, Edwin, "The American Institutes of Research Review of the Department of Defense's Star Gate Program: A Commentary", Journal of Parapsychology, Vol 60, Mar/96) "I can tell you that I participated in over 350 separate cases like the [Iran] hostage situation and was accurate at least 86 percent of the time." Question: "Joe, are you still doing any work involving remote viewing of future technologies... and can you share any of that with us?"
In McMoneagle's book, Mind Trek (Hampton Roads, 1993), he offers one of the better descriptions of how remote viewing is supposed to work. The historical details are a bit trickier, as it was published two years before the CIA admitted to having supported the program. In July, 1970, McMoneagle had a near death experience while stationed in Germany. Afraid of ridicule, he did not mention the experience for several years. SIGHTINGS ON THE RADIO Talks about remote viewing, near-death experiences, the future, and about his book MIND TREK: Exploring Consciousness, Time and Space Through REMOTE VIEWING There are several problems trying to form a timeline for the period when McMoneagle joined the remote viewing program. According to his book, this chain of events started in 1979 when he read Robert Monroe's book Journeys Out of the Body (pg 40). When a neighbor saw him reading the book, he offered him a copy of one of Puthoff's papers on remote viewing. "My job in Washington, D.C., had much to do with sub-contract management for major ongoing projects in military research and development." (pg 41) As a part of his duties, he often travelled to the West Coast, and in October, 1978 (pg 43), he took a leave of absence to spend in Menlo Park. During this time, he met Dr. Hal Puthoff and his colleagues at SRI in July, 1979 (pg 26), and became involved with their experiments in remote viewing, the first of which is dated June 4th, 1978 (pg 46). I don't know what to make of these glaring inconsistencies in the timeline. It is probably a combination of poor editing by the publisher and a difficulty in keeping his cover story straight. As McMoneagle was assigned with INSCOM in 1978, the same year INSCOM began its operational remote viewing unit codenamed GRILL FLAME, I have difficulty accepting that McMoneagle heard of the SRI experiments from a neighbor, and started his work with SRI on his own initiative and in an unofficial capacity. I don't know if and how he has revised his story as to how he became involved in the program, other than to say that he was involved in the official program. Elsewhere, in a frequently asked questions section of his book, McMoneagle openly denies that the Army was involved in remote viewing. "I spent my entire career, twenty years, in Army Intelligence and Security. Most of my assignments were overseas and most of the jobs were classified. My interest in remote viewing was something that I had to pursue on my own and my early retirement from the service was a direct result of that interest." He elaborates in a follow-up question: "You mean you didn't do remote viewing in the Army?" "That would imply the United States Army has an open attitude regarding psychic functioning, which it doesn't. There is very little in the Army which is conducive to remote viewing or its function." (pg 221) While he doesn't exactly say "no" in his answer, I consider it misleading enough to be a denial. Also, his denial is given voluntarily, and was not coerced in the context of something like an interview. While it would have been illegal for him to reveal classified information, I think it would have been just as easy for him to have omitted the topic rather than providing disinformation. In October, 1965, McMoneagle witnessed a UFO while stationed in the Bahamas (pg 219). Later, in the 1980s, he remote viewed the face on Mars, and claims to have contacted Martians who were trying to survive an environmental cataclysm of their planet. His claims mirror those of Ed Dames and Courtney Brown. (Chapter 16) McMoneagle has done experiments in remote viewing and out of body experiences with Robert Monroe at the Monroe Institute. In an interview with Magical Blend, McMoneagle repeats the story about going to SRI under his own initiative, and again gives a misleading answer regarding the military's involvement: "[Question:] You were with Military Intelligence in the Army. Did you ever use your psychic abilities in your military career? Joseph McMoneagle: I think that I've used these abilities all my life, but in such a natural way that it would be very difficult to specify when and where."
After retiring from the Army in September, 1984, McMoneagle worked as a consultant for SRI and the Monroe Institute. C.B. Scott Jones 
"He served in Naval Intelligence for approximately 15 years, including assignments with Carrier Division 14, and as Assistant Naval Attache, New Delhi, India, and Kathmandu, Nepal in the 1960s. He collected intelligence and provided intelligence support throughout Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa." "Jones has briefed the President's Scientific Advisory Committee, and has testified before House and Senate committees on intelligence matters." Retired from the Navy around 1976 due to a parapsychological experience. After retiring, he worked for several companies, including R. F. Cross Associates, Ltd., and Kaman Tempo, a divison of Kaman Sciences. This work involved development in projects sponsored by the Defense Nuclear Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM). Helped behind the scenes at the TREAT II conference (1/90, Blacksburg, Virginia campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University). TREAT was/is organized by Rima Laibow. "As late as the summer of 1991, Jones and Laibow were planning a yachting excursion together with Col. John Alexander ... to investigate anomalies in the Bahamas." "In 1989, MUFON appointed Jones as a Special Consultant in International Relations" Involved in parapsychology conferences since (at least) the mid 70s "Scott has been on the Board of Trustees of the American Society for Psychical Research (ASPR) since 1985, and now [1992] serves as its President." Formed the Human Potential Foundation in 1989. Board members include Clark Sandground and Claiborne Pell. "Scott often escorted Prince Hans-Adam of Liechtenstein, a very wealthy European with a long-standing interest in the paranormal. Together, they visited parapsychological laboratories and UFO conferences." "Jones has conducted his own dolphin telepathy studies along with Colonel John Alexander and Theodore Rockwell, a prominent (Who's Who) nuclear engineer who has worked on naval nuclear propulsion systems and who also serves as vice president of the U.S. Psychotronics Association." In his paper "Government UFO Connections" (included in "Phoenix in the Labyrinth), he claims to have no knowledge of government involvement in UFOs. "Laibow, [Gen. Albert] Stubblebine and ufologist Victoria Lacas (with Jones in the shadows) toured Europe and the Soviet Union, where they have established a prodigious UFO/Psi network." (Durant, Robert J., "Will the Real Scott Jones Please Stand Up?", 1992) Hosted a symposium for his employer, Kaman Tempo, entitled "Applications of Anomalous Phenomena" (Leesburg, Virginia, 11/30-12/1/83). The symposium was intended to bring government, academic, and military officials up-to-date information on private psi research. (Geller, Uri and Playfair, Guy Lyon, The Geller Effect, Johnathan Cape, 1986, pg 224-5) "[Eldon] Byrd told me [Dick Farley] about it [Byrd's lawsuit w/ Randi] over dinner at C. B. "Scott" Jones home one evening of several we spent together back in '92 and '93 there." Michael Persinger "is/was a big buddy of C. B. Jones (Jones says)". (Farley, Dick, "False Memory Syndrome") Navy pilot and intelligence officer for forty years. Retains his security clearance. While a Navy attaché in India, he experienced an unknown paranormal event that "enabled me to do my intelligence assignment with much greater speed than one ordinarily expected." A believer in UFOs since he saw one duting the Korean war. His book Phoenix in the Labyrinth reportedly deals with PSI-TECH a great deal. (Gardner, Martin, "Clairborne Pell: The Senator From Outer Space", Skeptical Inquirer, March/April 1996) On the registration questionnaire for the 5/28/95 "When Cosmic Cultures Meet" conference, Jones asked attendees if they would consider taking a drug that would result in telepathic contact with aliens. (Chevalier, Remy, "When Cosmic Cultures Meet", Paranoia, Issue 10, pg 11) While working for Sen. Pell, Jones was in contact with many psychics, and often put them in touch with intelligence agencies. (Schnabel, Jim, Remote Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 273) In 1989, Scott claimed that the government probably didn't have a large parapsychology program (large meaning funding in the millions) apart from occasional application of research in the open literature by individuals with strong personal interests. (Jones, C.B. Scott, "Essay Review of Psychic Warfare: Fact of Fiction?," Journal of Parapsychology, 6/89, pg 147) This was after he himself was involved in such a program, so he would have known better. In this essay, he also seems to doubt that the US could carry on a mind-control program (again), due to the checks and balances of our democratic system.
Organizations:
(Durant, 1992) Author of:
Dr. Igor Smirnov
Smirnov gave a series of closed meetings in Northern Virginia, starting on 3/17/93, to the FBI, CIA, DIA, and ARPA concerning Russian developments with a device that allegedly implanted thoughts in a subject's mind. The FBI was considering using this device to implant the voice of God in David Koresh's mind, telling him to surrender. Other, non-intelligence participants included Dr. Christopher Green and Dr. Richard Nakamura of the National Institute of Health [I think he may now be the director]. This technology was supposedly used by the Russians against civilians in Afghanistan, and possibly on the Red Army to prepare them for battle. The American rights to this technology is owned by a Richmond, Virginia company called Psycotechnologies Corp. (Defense Electronics, 7/93. Reprinted in Flatland #11) As of 1994, Smirnov has worked at Moscow's Institute of Psycho-Correction, using subliminal technology as therapy for drug abusers and others. The Institute has been strapped for cash after the the fall of the Soviet Union, but it has refused to accept business from the Russian Mafia. (Elliott, Dorinda and Barry, John, "A Subliminal Dr. Strangelove", Newsweek, 8/22/94, pg 57) Has done work with the Human Potential Foundation and John Alexander. Note: I'm not sure how Smirnov's device is supposed to work. Later reports claim it would work using inaudible, subliminal suggestions (spliced into phone conversations in the case of David Koresh). The device is definitely supposed to make the subject "hear" voices, as the FBI wanted to use Charlton Heston as the voice of God. This is definitely a different strategy from other subliminal techniques, which are designed to produce mere suggestions.
