PSI Spies

PSI Spies documents the US government's research into psychic phenomena and remote viewing during the Cold War. The book focuses on a classified program at Fort Meade, Maryland where military personnel were trained to gather intelligence through extrasensory perception. Through interviews and declassified documents, author Jim Marrs reconstructs the history of the government's PSI program from its inception through its termination in 1995. The narrative follows key figures like Ingo Swann, Pat Price, and others who participated in remote viewing experiments and operations. The book examines specific cases where remote viewers were tasked with gathering intelligence on Soviet weapons programs, locating hostages, and tracking drug shipments. Marrs presents the methodology used to train remote viewers and evaluate their results. At its core, PSI Spies raises questions about human consciousness and the intersection of psychic phenomena with national security. The book challenges conventional views about the nature of intelligence gathering and the capabilities of the human mind.

Readers found PSI Spies to be a straightforward account of the US military's remote viewing program, though many questioned its credibility. Several reviewers noted the book reads like a compilation of newspaper articles rather than a cohesive narrative. Readers appreciated: - Detailed history of the Stargate program - Inclusion of original documents and sources - Focus on real military applications rather than paranormal speculation Common criticisms: - Repetitive content - Lack of skeptical perspectives - Writing style called "dry" and "journalistic" - Limited new information for those familiar with the topic Ratings across platforms: Goodreads: 3.8/5 (256 ratings) Amazon: 4.2/5 (89 ratings) One Amazon reviewer noted: "The research is solid but the presentation lacks depth." A Goodreads reviewer wrote: "Important historical documentation, but needed better organization and analysis." The majority of low ratings cited the book's uncritical acceptance of remote viewing claims.

🔹 The book reveals that the US Army and CIA ran a top-secret psychic espionage program for nearly two decades, training soldiers to become "psychic spies" who could gather intelligence through remote viewing. 🔹 Author Jim Marrs interviewed many key figures from the program, including Ingo Swann, who helped develop the remote viewing protocols used by the military and coined the term "remote viewing." 🔹 The program, officially named Project Star Gate, successfully predicted future events and located hidden targets with sufficient accuracy that even skeptical government officials continued funding it until 1995. 🔹 Remote viewers in the program reportedly helped locate hidden Scud missiles during the Gulf War and provided intelligence about Soviet submarines during the Cold War. 🔹 The Defense Intelligence Agency declassified over 12,000 documents related to this program in 1995, providing much of the factual basis for Marrs's research and findings in PSI Spies.
