Basically SRI and the government were made [taxpayer-expensive] fools of by pranksters or scamsters with some knowledge of related areas of stage magic. It's not all difficult.
No, I'd say he's an audience of persons who are either intentional pretenders [for whatever their motives - money, publicity, fun, etc.] or innocently naïve true-believers.
Yes, but I am a professional, not an amateur or free-lancer. I do it on behalf of the United States. FYI The iron law of US PSYOP, applicable to all Departments and Agencies, is the Smith-Mundt Act, which prohibits any PSYOP against American citizens. In these days where it's increasingly difficult to constrain the targeting of any information, it's that much more of a challenge to implement, but it continues to be the 500-lb canary in the room for professional PSYOPers.
Note that I said "professionals". There are a lot of BS artists in the government whose credentials and job descriptions are not officially/formally PSYOP, and who probably haven't even heard of Smith-Mundt. Can't help you there!
I never violate classified information, period. My citizenship loyalty is to the United States…..
…and my moral loyalty is to my own conscience and standard of ethics - which haven't changed since I became an Eagle Scout in 1961.

What I get out of this is that essentially this "church" and "psyops" employ the same sort of hocus pocus or magic trick which is his general theme.

I see you've been busy since I signed out last night! Plenty o' double-speak, and a good smattering of self backslapping, in those various replies. Gracious! You should add Order of the Weasel to your vitae. Don't get me wrong: I probably have done enough work here and there in the, ahem, past to have at least earned a weasel badge myself.
Your facility for spin isn't, imo, world-class. That's arguably a good thing. I don't think psyops is your strong suit, although I think you do fairly well at anything you put your mind to. Poet/philosopher seems a much better fit and I see brilliance there, but I think the military dropped that pay grade somewhere along the way.
I'd say that sitting on the board of directors of a company that takes money for remote viewing services would, by YOUR own words and assessment of remote viewing, put such a person somewhere in your category of "fools of by pranksters or scamsters."
The truth is that as a soldier you do what you are told generally.
Is the Smith-Mundt still under attack, btw?
Charles Whitman and Ted Bundy were Eagle Scouts, too. But I'm jus' yanking your chain a lil' there Baron and make no true comparison. Jus' somewhat affectionately goofing' at ya.

Well just to give you more food for thought on the Interdimensional aspect. I can't spend too much time on this right now, so it will be sloppy and incomplete. But evidence suggests that species are connected via a morphogenetic field, likely through the DNA, which can account for how entire flocks of birds move at the exact same instant etc. A species-wide connection. In the fossil record, it has been shown that new species, or new traits, emerge quite suddenly. This again is probably related to the DNA and also wildcard in-fluxes of very high levels of cosmic rays etc. At some point our early human ancestors suddenly hit some critical mass and hooked-up into a radically new form of consciousness, which gave us religious, philosophical and artistic ideas. Many postulate that our encounter with psychedelic plants or fungi is what sparked this connection. Either way, this species-wide field of energy or connection, imprinting our DNA, is what proliferated this radical new form of consciousness in humans - worldwide, at the same time. The so-called 100th monkey effect.
The imagination, then, is actually a deployed field of energy that exists outside of the brain, but is likely filtered in through the pineal gland. So I am trying to set the groundwork for the notion of collective fields and what the Swiss psychologist, Carl Gustav Jung, called "the collective unconscious". That there is a collective human unconscious where mythic images spring up in different cultures, as well as individual's dreams at night time and in daydreams or spiritual epiphanies. All different cultures have their own particular flavor and brand of spiritual images or archetypes. Only in modern times have we been so disconnected from our past spirituality that we are twisting in the wind and holding on to essentially unworkable religions and ideologies. They don't spark that connection in our mind/spirit any longer - for the most part.
So isn't it interesting that along in the 20th Century, as we are achieving space flight of our own and advancing more technologically, a new vision - this time of highly-advanced space beings - should emerge in the minds of our science-fiction writers, artists and every day citizens? Carl Jung wrote about the "flying saucers" as being a spontaneous, new archetype or mythology that is being born out of this collective field - the collective unconscious of the human species itself. It changes, morphs, evolves and adapts like a cosmic dream, and can actually create a "reality" of its own. This may involve REAL physical beings - either from the future or another timeline or planet - who knows? But the idea that John Alexander, Jacques Vallee, Carl Jung, Terence McKenna, Graham Hancock, John Mack etc etc give more credence to is this Interdimensional/Mythical notion I have clumsily tried to elucidate for you.edit on 23-9-2013 by corsair00 because: (no reason given)

K-PAX-PROT
So the thousands of people reporting contact.abductions from "Greys" and the revelations from sources like Whitley Striebier in books like "Communion" are just victims of a mass "PsyOp" agenda???
Not necessarily. But hold on a minute, K-Pax. We shouldn't discount that as an aspect, because there's a great deal of evidence for just such an involvement.
I certainly have a lot to weigh in on here, and I hope to do quite a bit of that tonight. I'm excited about the prospect for great conversation.
My first response--and those to follow--are certainly in no way indicative of order of import, but I will start with K-Pax just to throw some soylent green (food) out for thought:
The word "meme" is a rather new word, but the concept itself is ancient. Certainly not unfamiliar to the PSYOP/Social Engineering cadre.
A meme (/ˈmiːm/; meem)[1] is "an idea, behavior, or style that spreads from person to person within a culture."[2] A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols, or practices that can be transmitted from one mind to another through writing, speech, gestures, rituals, or other imitable phenomena. Supporters of the concept regard memes as cultural analogues to genes in that they self-replicate, mutate, and respond to selective pressures.[3]
The word meme is a shortening (modeled on gene) of mimeme (from Ancient Greek μίμημα Greek pronunciation: [míːmɛːma] mīmēma, "imitated thing", from μιμεῖσθαι mimeisthai, "to imitate", from μῖμος mimos "mime")[4] and it was coined by the British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976)[1][5] as a concept for discussion of evolutionary principles in explaining the spread of ideas and cultural phenomena. Examples of memes given in the book included melodies, catch-phrases, fashion, and the technology of building arches.[6]

It is absolutely INDEED possible that Whitley Streiber--as well as Barney & Betty Hill and other Contactees/Abductees--were "infected" as it were with a "mind virus." One that malignantly spread throughout ufology/society.
Are you familiar, K, with the literature that connects the Hills (and other contactees as mentioned by ultimaFule) with psyops/intelligence personnel? It's a very important scarlet ribbon that demands both investigation and an open mind. Time and TIME AGAIN we see the heavy hand of the intel boys muddying the waters. Take heed.
The following is a decent start:
The UFO contactee movement was led by people that worked hand-in-hand with the CIA; the abductee scenario was created by CIA personnel. It reveals an intriguing alternative universe of the contactee and abductee phenomenon.
The Pied Pipers of the CIA
Looking forward to more conversation with ultimaFule, meaningles333, maquino, corsair00, and my brudda-from-another-Queen mother: FireMoon.

A cell that refuses apoptosis is cancerous: it prolongs its own duration at the expense of the body proper, and perishes with the whole when it finally falters.
Sidenote: if you no longer know when you are lying, you fool no one but yourself.

this is really fascinating stuff. I look forward to hearing more about this aspect. I do believe that this is a possible scenario but is there any other "mind virus" examples besides the alien one?
Just off the top of my head some of the Monarch programming stuff--and other "mind-control" memes--come to immediate mind, but I don't want to get too far off-topic here and admittedly this particular example isn't proven. The preponderance of evidence just so happens to lie in the ufological realm. This might make a good question for Col. Aquino, now that you mention it...would he give us a straight answer?
In the above Monarch example, certain memes can be traced that seem designed to make MKULTRA (and more specifically "Project Artichoke') goals sound crazy and to further produce a certain amount of craziness into our society thereby obfuscating governmental complicity.
One of the Artichoke hypnotism experiments included a hypnotist telling a young male subject of how he used hypnotism to score with attractive young ladies thereby stoking the sexuality of his subject prior to the subjects own hypnotism and subsequent lessons. Hypnosis "victim" then became victimizer and was used to compromise/confuse other targets.
We also have knowledge/evidence that the MKULTRA cadre used hypnotism on female "agents" who would then be used to sleep with targets for intelligence objectives.
By using a Cathy O'Brien to (probably unwittingly) spread far-fetched Monarch tales, the intelligence community is able to make facts such as the above sound "crazy." In the process, the meme creates a whole subculture of folk who think they are "Monarch Slaves."
PM me and I'll give you some links that I think you will find interesting.

The problem with space stuff is that it really is classified tighter than a crab's ass, so speculation runs wild. Pick up a copy of my 2013 _MindWar_ on Amazon to see just how real the Twilight Zone really is.
And Greer.......sad, how sad
Another old timer thinking of their retirement pension...making up bs to make money.
Lets be real, people who work with the super secret stuff NEVER talk. This is just entertainment badged up as real life.

Monarch may not have been proven, and truthfullly, more of what you're spouting here is Monarch in nature than Ultra...Why is it, when someone invokes Monarch or Ultra, they backpedal shamelessly, and say something like it has to be taken with a grain of salt...
So, Mr Aquino, I've offended every "friend," I perhaps, made here

I truly hope you don't take any of it too very personal.
