Remote Viewing & Secret Programs | Magic, Aliens & The Occult - Paul Wallis
Why Governments Keep It Hidden...
For decades the CIA, NSA, and other government agencies have denied the usefulness of psychic phenomena like remote viewing. And yet, from the 1970s through the 1990s, millions of dollars flowed into black-budget programs exploring the very abilities they told the public were fantasy.
What emerges is a striking pattern: a double-track of information. One story for the masses — remote viewing is “debunked” — and another for those in power, who quietly continued using it as a legitimate intelligence tool. But this hidden history stretches much further back than the Cold War. It goes all the way to Queen Elizabeth I and her enigmatic advisor John Dee, and even deeper into the ancestral traditions of humanity.
The CIA’s Secret Experiments
Between 1972 and 1995, U.S. intelligence agencies — including the CIA, DIA, and NSA — operated a series of classified programs under names like Project Stargate. Remote viewers like Ingo Swann achieved stunning successes, from describing secret Russian facilities to sketching the rings of Jupiter months before NASA confirmed them.
President Jimmy Carter even admitted a psychic located a downed Soviet bomber when surveillance technology failed. Yet while presidents, generals, and intelligence officers relied on these skills, the public was told they were nothing more than pseudoscience.
A Parallel in the Past: John Dee and Elizabeth I
This split between public dismissal and private use is not new. In the 1500s, Queen Elizabeth I engaged John Dee, her court philosopher, mathematician, and spy, to develop early methods of what we would now call remote viewing. Alongside Edward Kelley, Dee sought communication with “angels.”
But when we strip away the theological language, these accounts look remarkably like close encounters with non-human intelligences — entities delivering messages, insights, and knowledge across dimensions. Dee signed his intelligence reports with “007,” laying the foundation for what would later become British intelligence (MI5 and MI6).
Just as the CIA would eventually shut down remote viewing under religious pressure in the 1990s, Dee’s program was also ended for theological reasons under King James I, who considered such practices demonic.
Ancient Knowledge and the Sky People
Long before Elizabethan espionage, ancient cultures spoke of paleo-contact — human encounters with advanced beings from the stars. The Sumerians remembered the Anunnaki; the Mayans preserved the Popol Vuh; Aboriginal Australians speak of the “Sky People.”
These traditions describe humanity not as isolated but as guided, manipulated, and sometimes hindered by external intelligences. They also recall an age when humans possessed higher abilities: telepathy, precognition, self-healing, and yes, remote viewing.
Consciousness Beyond Time and Space
Modern experiments echo this possibility. Wallis describes children trained under blindfolds who could identify colors, read books, and even describe hidden objects thousands of miles away. These cases, like the work of Ingo Swann, challenge our understanding of space, time, and consciousness itself.
Remote viewing is not simply heightened perception. It suggests that consciousness is non-local — that human awareness can step outside the boundaries of brain and body, connecting with a wider field of information.
Why Governments Keep It Hidden
The secrecy makes sense. No government wants a public capable of peering into classified documents, military bases, or private strategy sessions. Easier to label remote viewing “debunked,” while quietly keeping it in use for those at the top.
This same tactic — a story for the people and another for the powers — has repeated itself for centuries. What we dismiss as “magic” or “occult” may in fact be suppressed human potential.
Conclusion
From ancient shamans to Elizabethan spies to CIA psychics, the record shows that remote viewing works — and that those in power know it. The real question is: why are we discouraged from exploring these abilities ourselves?
If human consciousness can transcend time and space, then the limits we believe about reality — and about ourselves — may be nothing more than a convenient illusion.
