…. let’s take the subject of my brief involvement in Scientology in the early 1970s ... I am on record as being no longer involved, but....
What I ‘still buy’ is that GSR (galvanic skin response) can be used to dredge up forgotten traumatic memories from youth, with some cathartic effect. I learned this first by accident during routine polygraphing for security purposes when I was an NSA employee in the early 1960s. It was this experience that led me out of curiosity to later investigate Scientology procedures from an empirical, firsthand viewpoint......

According to Jeffrey Richelson’s book The Wizards of Langley, Puthoff obtained the desired funding from Bill Church, the owner of Church’s Chicken, to the tune of $10,000 seed money in order to start conducting “ESP experiments.”
In the 1973 book, The Secret Life of Plants by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, the authors outlined an example of how this brilliant scientist, who was formerly on track to become one of the world’s foremost quantum physicists, started conducting E-meter research. One particular experiment involved connecting an E-meter to one egg in order to measure the galvanic response when he broke another egg nearby.
Needless to say, he made the absolutely ground breaking discovery that chicken eggs do not have feelings.

Oh the links back to Old Father Hubbard are worrisome in all of this. It would be a whole book to untangle the links between the 'men of non-science' and ufology. How the hell did Puthoff just walk away from that mob?
But here's a few snippets of info I found which you might find even more disquieting.
When challenged about his (brief?) involvement in scientology Puthoff responded

This GSR maybe formulated other ideas that led to this 'antenna' effect. Perhaps 40 years of technology have helped fine tune the theories to people who 'believe' they've witnessed UAP events.

So it seems somewhere along the road the man got lost in a belief system. Now we know, in this case, the chicken came before the egg experiment!
The irony should not be lost that Puthoff was originally funded by the owner of a Chicken Emporium (who's name was Church) . 'To the Stars' (the name of an L.Ron Hubbard novel) is partially funded by a Hot Dog business owned by Tom DeLonge.
I am not sure whether that leaves me more amused than bemused. There's more at that link by the way.
I don't need to say that GSR meters are the purest form of quackery ever invented, well other than homeopathy and Christianity I guess. If Hal's antenna effect stuff is based upon science like this.. then I think our future generations are safe from being farmed for their potential..

Exactly. How does a promising scientist fail to spot that? Why did he become a scientologist? How did he manage to leave? I thought that organisation was a sort of Hotel California. "You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!'"

It was true... (I held the 40 thousand/million volt lead in one hand..
and put the tube in my mouth)
and intended to be funny as well.

I would guess as soon as the broadcast is available then it will be on the site linked below

That's very illuminating Kev.
