It would be interesting to see how the organizations could use the con artists skills some of those individuals possessed, to their advantage. I’m curious if there were cases of that!

Super nice writing, I look forward to reading some of your other pieces. Warm greetings ☀️😊

Thanks so much for reading and commenting 🫶🏼 you make a fantastic point! It would be a fabulous case study to conduct. I’ll try to dig deep into seeing if it actually happened at some point.

Appreciate the support and kind words, it means everything ❣️

Thank you Karin! And thank you for such a lovely response 🫶 Who knows, maybe you will trace something surprising. Those were the times of absurdity, so there could be some gems to discover 🤭.

The recent uptick in “remote viewing” on social media and alternative news platforms seems like a distraction to drive attention to failed endeavors and away from current technological and social capabilities

This must be a cover-up attempt for the fact that you ALREADY work for the CIA and SPY upon us! In fact, you've put this thought in my mind to seed doubt! AAAAAAAARRRRGGHHH

Anyway, lovely read, as always😊.

Loved this article. I had it saved for some time now and only got a chance to read it now. Although I was familiar with the topic, I loved how well researched and structured it is. Adding a pinch of humor helps with the darkness of the experiments. Good work, Karin. Happy to have your brilliant presence here. 🌸

So kind of you to read and comment, Nimila 🫶🏼 glad you found it enjoyable! And yes, my half-assed attempts at humor are definitely a staple of my work at this point lol. Appreciate you so much ❣️

Another amazing read as always.

Also I recently saw the movie “The men who stare at goats” which is mainly a commedy but is definitely based on this stuff and it’s incredibly funny because I thought it was mostly made up for comedic purposes.

Turns out reality might be even funnier 😂

Also one of the best cast of recent years with Ewan McGregor, George Clooney, Jeff Bridges and Kevin Spacey (pre-pedo allegations 😬).

Tommaso 🫶🏼🥹 funny you mention that movie because it’s one of the movies that were directly influenced by Project Stargate 😅 also, damn, the cast is JUICY!!

Karin Smilović's avatar

Thanks so much for reading, Eliana 🫶🏼 also, tarot reading? 👀 I might be interested! Never tried it, but I’d be interested!! And that’s INSANE, I actually didn’t know that!

Eliana Diaz's avatar

AH fascinating all around!! The CEO of my company told me a story the other day about how he had a friend in the late 90s, early 2000s who worked for a top-secret CIA project. He would wear a little box around his neck 24/7 that apparently was an AI in training. It was learning to perfectly replicate his voice so it could answer phone calls for him seamlessly - and that was like 30 years ago. CRAZY stuff!! This was so interesting as always!

Karin Smilović's avatar

Thanks so much for reading, June 🫶🏼 WHAT??? Girl, that’s such a crazy and interesting story!! Thanks for sharing, I could write a whole article on that lol

June's avatar

if you do I will be so curious because he shared that story with us SO nonchalantly but it seemed super intense and secretive!!

Deborah Beach's avatar

Ok, this whole article reminded me of an Alfred Hitchcock movie, in tbe best way possible, because I am obsessed with those movies. 😂 This was so interesting!! When I got to the paragraph about how they released a statement telling the public it wasn't quite working, I thought to myself, I'm so shocked. 🙄😂 Also, I 100% have that spidey sense intuition!! Maybe I need to apply for the CIA also. 🙌🏼

Karin Smilović's avatar

Thanks so much for reading, Deborah 🫶🏼 SO glad you enjoyed this wild ride lol! Girl, we should both apply for a job, I think we’d totally get it 😎

itsmichelled_'s avatar

Aha Karin! Learned something again & as a huge fan of stranger things, yes I also read through some of your sources 😅 Also, idk if you set it up on purpose but the hs clairvoyant opening & rosemary actually locating that plane made the whole thing land somewhere between funny & genuinely eerie. 👀🙈

Karin Smilović's avatar

Thanks so much for reading, Michelle 🫶🏼 it’s truly a crazy story, but then again, it’s the CIA 🤷🏼‍♀️ a lot can be expected from those guys! And yes, my intention was to keep it both lighthearted and serious!

itsmichelled_'s avatar

Of course! Your pieces are quickly becoming staples I look forward to here 🫶

Karin Smilović's avatar

Another great esaay Karin! Really loved the dance between lunacy and genuious as a red thread.

Karin Smilović's avatar

Thanks so much for reading 🫶🏼 ikr? The CIA has always been this crazy thing that just keeps on giving lol

Lyndon Hawk- Mirror and Magic's avatar

Karin Smilović's avatar

This was so interesting! The Cold War is my favorite time period in contemporary history, because it involves so many things people don't even know were linked to the Cold War.

Karin Smilović's avatar

Thanks so much for reading, Zelia 🫶🏼 ikr?? There’s so much kooky stuff that happened that you’d never even know about under normal circumstances lol

The Night Hours With Mo's avatar

God the cold war era saw a lot of these stories from all sides! Crazy! But also a good source of inspiration lol

Karin Smilović's avatar

Thanks so much for reading and commenting 🫶🏼 and yes! The Cold War era was an absolutely insane part of contemporary history lol

Reads like Firestarter, except it actually happened. Didn’t expect that.
