For those interested in reading the full text of the article, the reprint
editor at the Washington Post (arringkm@washpost.com) assures that the article
is placed on their page, "DATA INK". No internet address was provided by the
Post for me to pass on to you, and no information was given on how long the
article will stay posted there.
What follows is a brief review of that article, so you can judge whether you
want to pursue the entire text. If you need quotes from this article, please
go to the original, and do not quote from this review. If, for some reason,
you do need to quote from this reveiw, please state clearly in your usage of
the quote that it is NOT copyrighted material of the Washington Post, nor
attributable to Richard Leiby, their staff writers, who authored the original
article.
In this news item, Richard Leiby quotes a value of $11 Million spent on remote viewing by the government and military, and cites examples of missions where it was used.
Mr. Leiby, a licensed psychic healer (licensing by the Silva Method of Mind Development group in Laredo, TX.), relates in this article an experience he had with "remote viewing".
Mr. Leiby states, "I first became a remote viewer one Saturday evening in November 1983..." and later states "I learned how to do remote viewings for a mere $350."
Mr. Leiby also relates the advice of a "remote viewer in California who had "heard about the government's psychics."
PAGE KEEPER'S NOTES
- * When the reporters call, asking us to betray our country by giving classified information, the policy seems to be that "the public has a right to know". Could it be that the Washington Post's policy is different?
- This article should be read by everyone. It is the perfect example of TOTAL lack of knowledge of the facts surrounding the Controlled Remote Viewing project and its features.
- Mr. Leiby, in his lack of knowledge, has confused the new-age term "remote viewing" with the research and development of Controlled Remote Viewing - a totally different animal which, unfortunately, has a very similar name. It is a shame that, since he wrote the article as a supposed professional journalist, he did not do enough homework to find that the two were vastly different.
- Mr. Leiby's article, however, does point up one fact very clearly: even journalists who are considered professional by such institutions as the Washington Post are getting their information from "a woman in California who had heard about the government's psychics".
- For those who have looked into the matter of Controlled Remote Viewing, this article stands as a monument to poor journalism, written by staff writers who do not bother to research their topics before publishing. It is to the Washington Post's discredit that this article was even published.
