Summary

Lynn Buchanan, a former U.S. military remote viewing operative from Project Stargate, discusses his selection into the classified unit, his psychokinetic abilities, and the methodology of Controlled Remote Viewing (CRV). He explains how CRV differs from traditional remote viewing and argues for the continued relevance of such capabilities in modern intelligence gathering.

Insights
  • Controlled Remote Viewing is a trainable methodology, not an innate psychic ability, based on martial arts principles that access subconscious information processing
  • Military remote viewing units faced recurring budget cuts and political opposition despite consistent Congressional validation, suggesting institutional resistance to unconventional intelligence methods
  • Emotional detachment training is critical for remote viewers to prevent psychological trauma from witnessing disturbing target information
  • AI cannot replicate the precision and adaptability of trained remote viewers, particularly for complex intelligence tasks requiring real-time tactical information
  • Presidential orders explicitly restricted remote viewing applications on U.S. citizens without direct Congressional tasking, establishing legal guardrails for the practice
Trends
Resurgence of interest in non-technological intelligence gathering methods as AI limitations become apparentGrowing recognition of psychological resilience training as essential for intelligence operatives handling traumatic contentCyclical government funding patterns for unconventional research programs despite proven operational successDistinction between scientifically-validated methodologies and pseudoscientific practices in intelligence communitiesRegulatory frameworks emerging around consciousness-based intelligence capabilities and citizen privacy protections

This is an I Heart podcast guaranteed human. Now here's a highlight from coast to coast AM on I Heart radio. And welcome back to coast to coast George. No, with you, Lynn Buchanan served in the U.S. military's controlled remote viewing unit called project stargate is both a viewer and as a trainer, having retired from the military service. He now lives in Alamagordo, New Mexico, where his company, problem solutions and innovations, PSI is providing CRV training and services. Couple of his books, as I mentioned, the seventh sense and gravity can be your friend. His website is link up at coast to coastam.com. Lynn, welcome back. How have you been? Hey, are we been doing fine here? Look and find how did you get selected for stargate? Oh, it was sort of weird event. I've had PK most of my life. Since I was around 12, you know, you, what people call mind over a matter. And I was one of those kids that when they get upset, things fall off shows and all. And I was over in Germany working the computer systems for the intelligence service. And they asked me to write a program which would tie the computers, the intelligence computers of 12 different countries together. And this other sergeant wanted the job. I got the job. And so when the day came, months later that I had the program perfected, we had 12 generals from 12 different countries right there in the room waiting to see the demonstration. And I went to the bathroom to check my hair and make sure there were no wrinkles about uniform and all that and I came back, gave my little song a dance and hit the energy and the computer went dead. And they all started laughing at me. And this other sergeant, Oatiss, had through the back door of the room and said, got you. I got flaming angry and when I did the entire field station went down. And I think they said it was somewhere around 50 million dollars worth of computers. And I knew what had happened, but I would be to say anything. But, um, General Stubblebine, head of the intelligence security command, had people out there who were trained in seeing these things and was looking for one of those officers happened to be in the room at the same time. He reported me to General Stubblebine and General Stubblebine came out just like in the movie, the minute he started goats where the generals gets up in your face and says, did you kill my computers with your mind? And, oh, and I said, yes, sir, I did. And he said, far, if and how did I ever go to a job for you? Um, he wanted me to come back to DC to start a unit that would, first of all, destroy enemy computers, but hopefully in the long-term run, find ways to control the enemy computers. And what year was this, Lynn? This was in in 1993. And, um, Congress said, no, that's my small mind control. And so he took me onto the remote viewing unit and stuck me in there. And that's how I got into the remote viewing unit. Was Ingo part of it at the time? Ingo, actually the week before I got there, Ingo lost his contract. However, because he had lost his contract, the other people who had been Ingo trained, trained me. And I got to know Ingo, I'd go up and visit him. And, you know, informal training, the man was a genius and a wealth of knowledge on, on remote viewing. He really was. Now in 1993, the computers were like huge univacs, weren't they? Yeah. Yeah, we were using a Wayne computer and a big mainframe. And, uh, always said that when you beat, when you beat on the piece of junk, it goes whang, whang, whang. The thing was I'd all get really was. Then we got, uh, desktop computers, which were pretty primitive. I mean, they were still dust machines, but they, they worked for us. So, did you have the ability to start and stop, stop lights and stuff like that when you walked by them? I never tried that. I've met people who do. And, uh, since then, I've tried it once or twice, and it works. Yeah. Now, I don't see the use for it, but it works. It does work. And you did not want to sit down there, other computers when you did. Was it, you, the emotion that you had within yourself, I did it. It was the emotion. Yeah. And, um, several years later, I was done at the Bureau of Indian Affairs in DC. And, uh, I was in the cafeteria eating lunch. And this Aussie, uh, Australian officer came up and said, mind if I sit with you. And then he called me by name. And I said, how'd you know my name? He said, well, you're the one that destroyed our computers in Australia. And so, why? And so I don't know how extensive it was, but, uh, man, I was so flaming and grouse ready to just kill somebody. How long were you in that unit, Lynn? I was in there eight and a half years. That's a long time. Yeah, for any assignment, because the military always reassigned you every three years. And that's where Russell Targ was there, right? Oh, yeah. Um, uh, Russ and, uh, help it off. And, uh, and yeah, the other researchers. Was that James there yet? That. That James came in after I did. And, uh, he always puts out that he trained me, you know, I was there almost two years before he came in and already trained and already knew the work. So, uh, he didn't train me. Uh, no, he came in about two years after I did. Targ and then the units stayed together. How long when? Uh, let's see. In 91 or 92, uh, they officially disbanded. No, why did they, they already happened six times before and what happened was they'd say, okay, you're not in this unit anymore. This unit is closed. Come back tomorrow and we'll have new stamps for you and we'll stamp our stuff with a different secret code, you know, and then everybody just kept on in place. And I know you're going to want some after here in this. This is an amazing story. We've got Stephen and Malachi Gregory in Nelson, New Zealand. I understand that Malachi, who is eight almost nine years old now, was suffering with not just one or two warts, but I mean, a significant outbreak of warts all over his body. So significant. It impacted his ability to, to really function. Yeah, yeah, he was having trouble even holding a pencil to write. I've just typed book actually that they got me thinking about it. I'm not surprised. It is an amazing immunomodulator. And so I can see that it would work. And so at what point did you see that there was actually improvement? It's really going to work. Well, we really started to notice it around 12 weeks. You can see these things actually getting smaller and smaller and then going down to the, where they're just little red marks, the whole things are gone. And we're talking about once, you know, one the size of the water. I thought, no way that's going to, wow, it's just been miraculous to see him get into a pure of shoes. Yes. How wonderful. It's great to see him so happy and confident. Absolutely wonderful. Every incident has seen it. That is blown away. This is awesome. Yeah, this is awesome. Another amazing story. Why?

If it was so successful, why did they disband them? In DC, they say there's two answers to any question you ask. One is politics and the other is money. And the politics, we had so many people at the DC level who were afraid of us, didn't want us there. I mean, it became knowledge that you had no secrets from us. And the other was that the Cold War had wound down. And they were cutting funding. And so when it came to cutting the funding for units, they had the ground agents who had been out there serving for years. And they had those crazy psychics for me. So who you going to cut? You cut the psychics. At any given time, what did your day consist of? It consisted of, if something came in from one of the three literary agencies or some other agency, we immediately went to work. Otherwise, we had practice targets. And we did a lot of practice targets just to keep our skills up and in training. And when we weren't doing that, we were doing what was called open source intel, where you just read the Russian newspapers, the German newspapers, the Chinese newspapers and all that to look for things showing that they might be doing the same thing. Do you think a unit like what you had, Lynne, today would be necessary? Oh, yeah, absolutely. I think so. Listen, AI is not going to be able to do this. Not to level we did. No, not at all. And we need more information than we've ever needed it. Oh, yeah. Like one time General Dozier was captured by the Red Brigade over Italy. I remember that. That's right. The Red Army. And Joe not only found out the town that he was being held captive in, but also the building in the town and drew the floor plans of the building so that they could go in and capture rescue them without getting killed. And AI is not going to do that. And Paul Smith was with you then too, right? Yeah, always there. Good guy. Give us your definition, Lynne, of controlled remote viewing, which you call CRB. Okay. Everybody has a subconscious mind. And every subconscious mind is psychic to some extent. It has access somehow to information and basically all of space and time. The conscious mind does not. CRB is a martial arts based method where you take your information from the subconscious, basically put it into the body. And then the physical reactions can be read by the conscious mind to get the information. Every martial artist depends on their subconscious awareness of what's going on around them, 360 degrees. And this is basically no different. We always say that being psychic is, or doing something psychic is like going on vacation. CRB is the car that gets you there. And so it's a methodology. It's not being psychic in and of itself. And listen, the car is not the vacation. If you've ever been on one. Is CRB different from traditional remote viewing? Absolutely. Remote viewing. Everything psychic started being called remote viewing when it came up to the public that controlled remote viewing had been tested and proven scientifically. That's when everybody jumped, quit saying psychic and started saying remote viewing. And we had tea leaf remote viewers and palm remote viewers and crystal ball remote viewers and all that. Everybody jumped on that name and started using it. But the controlled remote viewing is absolutely different. It's a methodology that was developed in the lab, proven to work, and used in the military for well over 25 years. And proven itself. In fact, we never had permanent funding. We were funded one year at a time. And every year we had to go before Congress and prove that we could do it. Was there ever any downside to this, Lyn? Well, yeah. If you remote view, you experience at least seeing your target. And there are many targets that won't give you nightmares. War targets. And these days when you work for police, and there's a missing child or something like that, and you're viewing that child, you witness some horrible things that you just have a really hard time forgetting. So, yeah, the downside of it is that if you don't get trained to stay emotionally detached from your viewing, you can have emotional problems, you know, just witnessing these things that you get tasked with. When you were in the unit, who assigned you the projects to investigate? We got a tasking from all different units, the three data, three letter units, from military units, other organizations and all that. The tasking then went to the director of our unit, who then would pick the viewers to view according to what the target was, and according to our individual skills. So, we, as viewers, got our tasking from our director, who never told us what the target was. You weren't blind. The book you wrote a couple years ago, the seventh sense. What is that seventh sense? One of the things we found is that, like you're working away in an office or something, and somebody comes in and they're just flaming angry, the ambience of the room changes. You instantly, instantly, instantly. Theoretically, there are nerve sheathes which are just columns of water broadcasting their emotions to you and you pick it up. When you can do the same thing and look on Putin's desk until what he's signing that day, that's not, that's not, you know, physical, forget what Lewis called it, middle radio. That's not their body against yours. And when you can do that and target anything in space and time, especially, that's your seventh sense. Psychic is the seventh sense. Ambience is actually the sixth sense and ambience is physical. It's a physical sense from your body, like the other five senses. Do you have the ability to get into somebody's head, brain? Sure, that's easy. Yeah. Wow. And pick up the end, pick up their thoughts. Yeah. Now, to be totally honest on the answer, presidential order, 11.05, which was superseded by presidential order 1233, forbade us to do that to any US citizen without direct tasking from Congress itself. So it would take an active Congress to get us to do that on US citizens. Listen to more coast to coast AM every weeknight at 1 a.m. Eastern and go to coast to coast am.com for more.
