Smith, Paul H. Reading the Enemy's Mind: Inside Star Gate -- America's
Psychic Espionage Program. Foreword by Jack Anderson. New York:
Tom Doherty Associates (Forge), 2005. 507 pages.
Paul H. Smith spent seven years in the Department of Defense program
of remote viewing. He was an operational viewer, an instructor and trainer,
and unit historian. The CIA and the Defense Intelligence Agency each had
remote-viewing programs in the 1970s, based at Stanford Research Institute.
In the early 1980s the Pentagon started up another program based at Fort
Meade, Maryland. It survived until 1994 with a staff of about a dozen, at
which point the program was transferred to the CIA and terminated in 1995.
The operational success of remote viewing is very much a mixed bag.
It is unclear whether it could ever be used in situations where the stakes
are high if the intelligence is faulty, and this book does not take a
position on this issue. Rather, it is a chronological history of Smith's
unit and remote viewing in general, and a description of techniques that
viewers have found useful. Some of those involved continue to promote
the techniques they learned. Smith is vice president of the nonprofit
International Remote Viewing Association, and president of Remote Viewing
Instructional Services (www.rviewer.com).
