Synthetic Telepathy....
The Army has given a team of University of California researchers a $4 million grant to study the foundations of "synthetic telepathy." But unlike old-school mind-melds, this seemingly psychic communication would be computer-mediated. The University of California, Irvine explains:
The brain-computer interface would use a noninvasive brain imaging technology like electroencephalography to let people communicate thoughts to each other. For example, a soldier would "think" a message to be transmitted and a computer-based speech recognition system would decode the EEG signals. The decoded thoughts, in essence translated brain waves, are transmitted using a system that points in the direction of the intended target.
All across the military, there's interest in translating thoughts into computer code, and vice versa. Darpa-funded researchers have taught monkeys how to control robotic limbs with their thoughts. Defense contractor Northrop Grumman is building binoculars that tap the unconscious mind. Honeywell has built a system that monitors pre-conscious nueral firings, to help pick out targets in satellite imagery. The JASONs, the Pentagon's premiere scientific advisory board, has warned of the dangers of enemies implanted with brain-computer interfaces. And the Defense Intelligence Agency just released a report, saying the military needs to spend more on neuroscience - up to and including "mak[ing] the enemy obey our commands."

Ira Einhorn
Philadelphia based hippie/new age guru. Was arrested 3/28/79 for murdering his girlfriend, Holly Maddux, who was found stuffed in a trunk on Einhorn's porch. He was defended in court by Arlen "Single Bullet" Specter. (Levy, Steven, The Unicorn's Secret, Prentice Hall Press, 1989, pg 20)
Einhorn jumped bail and fled to England, 1/13/81, then to Ireland. He left Ireland in 1986, and as of 1/96 his whereabouts were unknown. Click here for info from "Unsolved Mysteries".
The FBI announced on 6/16/97 that Einhorn had been located in France living under the name of Eugene Mallon, thanks to tips from "Unsolved Mysteries". Reportedly, he had been sentenced to life in absentia in 1993. As of this writing, extradition procedures are still in progress. Einhorn became interested in the paranormal around 1975, when he met Andrija Puharich, who became his mentor in this field. (Levy, pg 128-30)
Using his connections with Puharich, he formed what he called the "psychic mafia", which was a collection of researchers bent on bringing psychic and paranormal phenomena into the mainstream. He organized "Mind Over Matter" conference at Penn State University in late January, 1977. Attendees included Christopher Bird, Andrija Puharich, and Thomas Bearden. (Levy, pg 189)
Soon afterwards, Einhorn and the psychic mafia focused their attention on ELF mind control. (Levy, pg 190). He suggests that his murder charge could have been a set-up by the CIA or KGB for his interest in activities by America and Russia in the areas of psychic warfare, Tesla technology, and mind control. (Levy, pg 242) Puharich says that Einhorn's work wasn't important enough to elicit such a reaction. (Levy, pg 308)
Einhorn led seminars at the Esalen Institute and was involved with the Physics/Consciousness Research Group. He reportedly worked with Congressman Charlie Rose, a large supporter of psychic studies, on classified projects.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andrija Puharich
Born 1918. Received medical degree from Northwestern University in 1947. Reportedly a friend of Aldous Huxley.
1952 - had first contact with "the Nine", the highest minds in the universe, through a medium. (Gardner, Martin, Science: Good, Bad, and Bogus, Prometheus Books, 1981, pg 275)
Served in the Army in the early 1950's.
1952 - presented the paper "An Evaluation of the Possible Uses of Extrasensory Perception in Psychological Warfare" at a secret Pentagon meeting.
1953 - Lectured the Air Force on telepathy, and the staff of the Army Chemical Center on the "Biological Foundations of Extrasensory Perception".
(McRae, Ronald, Mind Wars, St. Martin's Press, 1984, pg 79)
From 1948-58, was the director of research of the Round Table Foundation of Glen Cove, Maine.
Was Ira Einhorn's mentor in the paranormal. Ira claimed that Puharich "was doing LSD work for the CIA in 1954".
Set a medical lab to study psychic phenomena. Helped form the Intelectron Corporation, which sold his hearing aids. One of Puharich's hearing aids is called the "tooth radio", which is literally implanted inside of a person's tooth and is used by magicians in telepathy acts.
1968 - "I was doing research in connection with the Atomic Energy Commission." Met Einhorn. (Levy, Steven, The Unicorn's Secret, Prentice Hall Press, 1989, pg 128-30)
"Discovered" Uri Geller and brought him to America and MRU. Puharich, in his book Uri claims that Geller received his power from an alien force called the Hoovians. This lost him some credibilty, and Geller began to distance himself from Puharich. (Levy 131-2)
According to Gardner's account, in Uri, Puharich hypnotizes Geller, and Geller reveals more of the Nine's plans. They have authority over the Hoovians, which are the Controllers of various planetary civilizations. A city-sized spaceship called Spectra hovers over the Earth and sends messages from the Hoovians light-years away to their super-computers to Geller, who is their emissary on earth. (Gardener, pg 276)
Mid-70s: ran a complex in Ossining called the Turkey Farm. In the summer of 1975, Puharich assembled around twenty children from the ages of nine to late teens, called "Gellerlings", or "Space Kids". Puharich trained their psychic abilities, and claimed that they received messages from aliens. One teen claimed that they practiced remote viewing, and some of their assignments included political targets like the Kremlin and the White House. (Levy, pg 165-7)
Puharich has claimed that the Space Kids are able to materialize objects like trees, and that six of them arrived at his ranch via teleportation. (Gardener, pg 287)
It was also during this time that Puharich did experiments on the effects of ELF radiation on the central nervous system.
Part of Einhorn's "psychic mafia". Presented a paper on the Space kids at the "Mind Over Matter" conference at Penn State University, late January, 1977, organized by Einhorn. Other attendees included Christopher Bird and Thomas Bearden. (Levy, pg 189)
Around 1978, Puharich's Turkey Farm burnt down as a result of arson, and Puharich disappeared. A suspect in the arson was a Space Kid who claimed that aliens were harrassing him. Puharich implicated the CIA. (Levy, pg 218-20)
Claims to have been the target of four assassination attempts by the CIA. As of 1989, he lived in North Carolina. (Levy, pg 348)
Andrijah Puharich died in 1995. See Terry Milner's series "Ratting out Puharich" for a more complete account, and for details on Puharich's possible links to biological experiments.

Lt. Col. Thomas E. Bearden
US Army, Retired. Former Pentagon analyst
Web site http://www.cheniere.org/
Tom Bearden work with MRU's Science-Intelligence Officer, "KT". Their work together extended through 2007 and included Iona Miller, http://mankindresearchunlimited.iwarp.com/whats_new_7.html
"He is President and CEO of CTEC, Inc., a private R&D corporation engaged in research on free energy devices and the mechanisms for interaction of EM fields and radiation with biological systems. He is president of the Association of Distinguished American Scientists (ADAS), a life member of the Alabama Academy of Science, and served on the Board of Directors of the U.S. Psychotronics Association and the American Association of Metascience. He edited and published Specula, Journal of the AAMS, for four years. He also served on the Board of Directors of Astron, Inc., a private aerospace R&D corporation in the greater Washington D.C. area, noted for its specialized RF antennas...He and his wife Doris live in Huntsville, Alabama where Tom is retired from aerospace, continues private research, and serves as a special consultant to industry on scalar electromagnetics processes" ( Virtual Times introduction)
"Lt. Col. Thomas E. Bearden is a nuclear engineer, war games and weapons analyst, and military tactician. He has an MS in nuclear engineering from Georgia Tech and is a graduate of the US Army Command and General Staff College and several US Army artillery and guided missile schools. He has over 30 years experience in air defense systems, technical intelligence, Soviet electromagnetic weaponry, artificial intelligence, computerized war games, and antiradiation missile countermeasures. He is a senior scientist with a large aerospace company [Colsa Corp.] Col. Bearden personally developed and published the basis for a drastic revision of electromagnetic theory and engineering, based on the work of Whittaker and Maxwell. His work is primarily responsible for the widespread interest and research into scalar electromagnetic phenomena in this country over the past decade."
(Megabrain report, 2/4/91)
Member: US Psychotonics Association. Claims that Soviet psychic experiments have caused Legionnaire's disease, cattle mutilations, UFO abductions, and the sinking of the US submarine Thresher. Claims that these experiments have aroused mankind's collective unconciousness, called ZARG.
Many of his theories were published before retirement and are available through the Defense Documentation Center. Bearden's Homepage is http://www.cheniere.org/ His views are supported by John Alexander.
After retirement, Bearden was contracted by the Pentagon to study the "photonic barrier modulator", "hyperspatial nuclear howitzer", and the connection between ESP and UFOs. [Note: McRae has since admitted to fabricating this last point, but much of the rest is verifiable elsewhere.] (McRae, Ronald, Mind Wars, St. Martin's Press, 1984, pp 126-9)
Friend of Ira Einhorn and part of his "psychic mafia". Presented a paper at the "Mind Over Matter" conference at Penn State University, late January, 1977, organized by Einhorn. Other attendees included Christopher Bird and Andrija Puharich. (Levy, Steven, The Unicorn's Secret, Prentice Hall Press, 1989, pg 189)
Bearden's later works have leaned away from psychotronics and towards free energy and the health effects of electromagnetic energy.
It is hard to determine what politics Bearden believes in, but he seems to believe in a conspiracy to suppress technological advances. "Personally, however, I believe that the accelerated time schedule for the "New World Order"-- now set for the year 2000 -- is as a result of the imminent advent of (1) superluminal communication (we at CTEC are going to file a patent on that as well), and (2) overunity electrical energy systems. There has to be almost a police state existing in the world, if this "new electromagnetics" is to be forcibly put back under control and buried. It appears now that such a police state is imminent, both here in the U.S. and worldwide. Let us hope that the conspirators fail, and that common sense somehow resurrects and stops that nonsense." (10/30/95 letter)
Interview: The following interview with Tom Bearden appeared in a magazine called "Megabrain Report". It is dated 4-Feb-1991. The interviewers were Terry Patten and Michael Hutchison

C.B. Scott Jones
Scott Jones
President of the Human Potential Foundation. (Former?) assistant - Menelika McCarthy.
Former aide to Sen. Claiborne Pell for seven years, worked almost exclusively with the paranormal. Was paid nearly $50,000/yr.
Born 1928. Joined the Navy around 1946. Career officer, served as a fighter pilot in the Korean War.
"He served in Naval Intelligence for approximately 15 years, including assignments with Carrier Division 14, and as Assistant Naval Attache, New Delhi, India, and Kathmandu, Nepal in the 1960s. He collected intelligence and provided intelligence support throughout Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa."
"Jones has briefed the President's Scientific Advisory Committee, and has testified before House and Senate committees on intelligence matters."
Retired from the Navy around 1976 due to a parapsychological experience. After retiring, he worked for several companies, including R. F. Cross Associates, Ltd., and Kaman Tempo, a divison of Kaman Sciences. This work involved development in projects sponsored by the Defense Nuclear Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM).
Helped behind the scenes at the TREAT II conference (1/90, Blacksburg, Virginia campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University). TREAT was/is organized by Rima Laibow. "As late as the summer of 1991, Jones and Laibow were planning a yachting excursion together with Col. John Alexander ... to investigate anomalies in the Bahamas."
"In 1989, MUFON appointed Jones as a Special Consultant in International Relations"
Involved in parapsychology conferences since (at least) the mid 70s
"Scott has been on the Board of Trustees of the American Society for Psychical Research (ASPR) since 1985, and now [1992] serves as its President."
Formed the Human Potential Foundation in 1989. Board members include Clark Sandground and Claiborne Pell.
"Scott often escorted Prince Hans-Adam of Liechtenstein, a very wealthy European with a long-standing interest in the paranormal. Together, they visited parapsychological laboratories and UFO conferences."
"Jones has conducted his own dolphin telepathy studies along with Colonel John Alexander and Theodore Rockwell, a prominent (Who's Who) nuclear engineer who has worked on naval nuclear propulsion systems and who also serves as vice president of the U.S. Psychotronics Association."
In his paper "Government UFO Connections" (included in "Phoenix in the Labrynth), he claims to have no knowledge of government involvement in UFOs.
"Laibow, [Gen. Albert] Stubblebine and ufologist Victoria Lacas (with Jones in the shadows) toured Europe and the Soviet Union, where they have established a prodigious UFO/Psi network." (Durant, Robert J., "Will the Real Scott Jones Please Stand Up?", 1992)
Hosted a symposium for his employer, Kaman Tempo, entitled "Applications of Anomalous Phenomena" (Leesburg, Virginia, 11/30-12/1/83). The symposium was intended to bring government, academic, and military officials up-to-date information on private psi research.
(Geller, Uri and Playfair, Guy Lyon, The Geller Effect, Johnathan Cape, 1986, pg 224-5)
"[Eldon] Byrd told me [Dick Farley] about it [Byrd's lawsuit w/ Randi] over dinner at C. B. "Scott" Jones home one evening of several we spent together back in '92 and '93 there."
Michael Persinger "is/was a big buddy of C. B. Jones (Jones says)". (Farley, Dick, "False Memory Spindrome")
Navy pilot and intelligence officer for forty years. Retains his security clearance. While a Navy attache in India, he experienced an unknown paranormal event that "enabled me to do my intelligence assignment with much greater speed than one ordinarily expected." A believer in UFOs since he saw one duting the Korean war.
His book Phoenix in the Labyrinth reportedly deals with PSI-TECH a great deal.
(Gardner, Martin, "Clairborne Pell: The Senator From Outer Space", Skeptical Inquirer, March/April 1996)
On the registration questionnaire for the 5/28/95 "When Cosmic Cultures Meet" conference, Jones asked attendees if they would consider taking a drug that would result in telepathic contact with aliens.
(Chevalier, Remy, "When Cosmic Cultures Meet", Paranoia, Issue 10, pg 11)
While working for Sen. Pell, Jones was in contact with many psychics, and often put them in touch with intelligence agencies.
(Schnabel, Jim, Remote Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 273)
In 1989, Scott claimed that the government probably didn't have a large parapsychology program (large meaning funding in the millions) apart from occasional application of research in the open literature by individuals with strong personal interests.
(Jones, C.B. Scott, "Essay Review of Psychic Warfare: Fact of Fiction?, Journal of Parapsychology, 6/89, pg 147)
This was after he himself was involved in such a program, so he would have known better).
In this essay, he also seems to doubt that the US could carry on a mind-control program (again), due to the checks and balances of our democratic system.
Jones has attended conferences in the former Soviet Union, where he was in contact with Christopher Bird (Jones, 1989, pg 144). His foundation is also involved with the research of Russian scientist Dr. Igor Smirnov.

The FBI announced on 6/16/97 that Einhorn had been located in France living under the name of Eugene Mallon, thanks to tips from "Unsolved Mysteries". Reportedly, he had been sentenced to life in absentia in 1993. As of this writing, extradition procedures are still in progress. Einhorn became interested in the paranormal around 1975, when he met Andrija Puharich, who became his mentor in this field. (Levy, pg 128-30)
Using his connections with Puharich, he formed what he called the "psychic mafia", which was a collection of researchers bent on bringing psychic and paranormal phenomena into the mainstream. He organized "Mind Over Matter" conference at Penn State University in late January, 1977. Attendees included Christopher Bird, Andrija Puharich, and Thomas Bearden. (Levy, pg 189)
Soon afterwards, Einhorn and the psychic mafia focused their attention on ELF mind control. (Levy, pg 190). He suggests that his murder charge could have been a set-up by the CIA or KGB for his interest in activities by America and Russia in the areas of psychic warfare, Tesla technology, and mind control. (Levy, pg 242) Puharich says that Einhorn's work wasn't important enough to elicit such a reaction. (Levy, pg 308)
Einhorn led seminars at the Esalen Institute and was involved with the Physics/Consciousness Research Group. He reportedly worked with Congressman Charlie Rose, a large supporter of psychic studies, on classified projects.

Andrija Puharich
Born 1918. Received medical degree from Northwestern University in 1947. Reportedly a friend of Aldous Huxley.
1952 - had first contact with "the Nine", the highest minds in the universe, through a medium. (Gardner, Martin, Science: Good, Bad, and Bogus, Prometheus Books, 1981, pg 275)
Served in the Army in the early 1950's.
1952 - presented the paper "An Evaluation of the Possible Uses of Extrasensory Perception in Psychological Warfare" at a secret Pentagon meeting.
1953 - Lectured the Air Force on telepathy, and the staff of the Army Chemical Center on the "Biological Foundations of Extrasensory Perception".
(McRae, Ronald, Mind Wars, St. Martin's Press, 1984, pg 79)
From 1948-58, was the director of research of the Round Table Foundation of Glen Cove, Maine.
Was Ira Einhorn's mentor in the paranormal. Ira claimed that Puharich "was doing LSD work for the CIA in 1954".
Set a medical lab to study psychic phenomena. Helped form the Intelectron Corporation, which sold his hearing aids. One of Puharich's hearing aids is called the "tooth radio", which is literally implanted inside of a person's tooth and is used by magicians in telepathy acts.
1968 - "I was doing research in connection with the Atomic Energy Commission." Met Einhorn. (Levy, Steven, The Unicorn's Secret, Prentice Hall Press, 1989, pg 128-30)
"Discovered" Uri Geller and brought him to America and MRU. Puharich, in his book Uri claims that Geller received his power from an alien force called the Hoovians. This lost him some credibilty, and Geller began to distance himself from Puharich. (Levy 131-2)
According to Gardner's account, in Uri, Puharich hypnotizes Geller, and Geller reveals more of the Nine's plans. They have authority over the Hoovians, which are the Controllers of various planetary civilizations. A city-sized spaceship called Spectra hovers over the Earth and sends messages from the Hoovians light-years away to their super-computers to Geller, who is their emissary on earth. (Gardener, pg 276)
Mid-70s: ran a complex in Ossining called the Turkey Farm. In the summer of 1975, Puharich assembled around twenty children from the ages of nine to late teens, called "Gellerlings", or "Space Kids". Puharich trained their psychic abilities, and claimed that they received messages from aliens. One teen claimed that they practiced remote viewing, and some of their assignments included political targets like the Kremlin and the White House. (Levy, pg 165-7)
Puharich has claimed that the Space Kids are able to materialize objects like trees, and that six of them arrived at his ranch via teleportation. (Gardener, pg 287)
It was also during this time that Puharich did experiments on the effects of ELF radiation on the central nervous system.
Part of Einhorn's "psychic mafia". Presented a paper on the Space kids at the "Mind Over Matter" conference at Penn State University, late January, 1977, organized by Einhorn. Other attendees included Christopher Bird and Thomas Bearden. (Levy, pg 189)
Around 1978, Puharich's Turkey Farm burnt down as a result of arson, and Puharich disappeared. A suspect in the arson was a Space Kid who claimed that aliens were harrassing him. Puharich implicated the CIA. (Levy, pg 218-20)
Claims to have been the target of four assassination attempts by the CIA. As of 1989, he lived in North Carolina. (Levy, pg 348)
Andrijah Puharich died in 1995. See Terry Milner's series "Ratting out Puharich" for a more complete account, and for details on Puharich's possible links to biological experiments.

Lt. Col. Thomas E. Bearden
US Army, Retired. Former Pentagon analyst
Web site http://www.cheniere.org/
Tom Bearden work with MRU's Science-Intelligence Officer, "KT". Their work together extended through 2007 and included Iona Miller, http://mankindresearchunlimited.iwarp.com/whats_new_7.html
"He is President and CEO of CTEC, Inc., a private R&D corporation engaged in research on free energy devices and the mechanisms for interaction of EM fields and radiation with biological systems. He is president of the Association of Distinguished American Scientists (ADAS), a life member of the Alabama Academy of Science, and served on the Board of Directors of the U.S. Psychotronics Association and the American Association of Metascience. He edited and published Specula, Journal of the AAMS, for four years. He also served on the Board of Directors of Astron, Inc., a private aerospace R&D corporation in the greater Washington D.C. area, noted for its specialized RF antennas...He and his wife Doris live in Huntsville, Alabama where Tom is retired from aerospace, continues private research, and serves as a special consultant to industry on scalar electromagnetics processes" ( Virtual Times introduction)
"Lt. Col. Thomas E. Bearden is a nuclear engineer, war games and weapons analyst, and military tactician. He has an MS in nuclear engineering from Georgia Tech and is a graduate of the US Army Command and General Staff College and several US Army artillery and guided missile schools. He has over 30 years experience in air defense systems, technical intelligence, Soviet electromagnetic weaponry, artificial intelligence, computerized war games, and antiradiation missile countermeasures. He is a senior scientist with a large aerospace company [Colsa Corp.] Col. Bearden personally developed and published the basis for a drastic revision of electromagnetic theory and engineering, based on the work of Whittaker and Maxwell. His work is primarily responsible for the widespread interest and research into scalar electromagnetic phenomena in this country over the past decade."
(Megabrain report, 2/4/91)
Member: US Psychotonics Association. Claims that Soviet psychic experiments have caused Legionnaire's disease, cattle mutilations, UFO abductions, and the sinking of the US submarine Thresher. Claims that these experiments have aroused mankind's collective unconciousness, called ZARG.
Many of his theories were published before retirement and are available through the Defense Documentation Center. Bearden's Homepage is http://www.cheniere.org/ His views are supported by John Alexander.
After retirement, Bearden was contracted by the Pentagon to study the "photonic barrier modulator", "hyperspatial nuclear howitzer", and the connection between ESP and UFOs. [Note: McRae has since admitted to fabricating this last point, but much of the rest is verifiable elsewhere.] (McRae, Ronald, Mind Wars, St. Martin's Press, 1984, pp 126-9)
Friend of Ira Einhorn and part of his "psychic mafia". Presented a paper at the "Mind Over Matter" conference at Penn State University, late January, 1977, organized by Einhorn. Other attendees included Christopher Bird and Andrija Puharich. (Levy, Steven, The Unicorn's Secret, Prentice Hall Press, 1989, pg 189)
Bearden's later works have leaned away from psychotronics and towards free energy and the health effects of electromagnetic energy.
It is hard to determine what politics Bearden believes in, but he seems to believe in a conspiracy to suppress technological advances. "Personally, however, I believe that the accelerated time schedule for the "New World Order"-- now set for the year 2000 -- is as a result of the imminent advent of (1) superluminal communication (we at CTEC are going to file a patent on that as well), and (2) overunity electrical energy systems. There has to be almost a police state existing in the world, if this "new electromagnetics" is to be forcibly put back under control and buried. It appears now that such a police state is imminent, both here in the U.S. and worldwide. Let us hope that the conspirators fail, and that common sense somehow resurrects and stops that nonsense." (10/30/95 letter)
Interview: The following interview with Tom Bearden appeared in a magazine called "Megabrain Report". It is dated 4-Feb-1991. The interviewers were Terry Patten and Michael Hutchison

C.B. Scott Jones
Scott Jones
President of the Human Potential Foundation. (Former?) assistant - Menelika McCarthy.
Former aide to Sen. Claiborne Pell for seven years, worked almost exclusively with the paranormal. Was paid nearly $50,000/yr.
Born 1928. Joined the Navy around 1946. Career officer, served as a fighter pilot in the Korean War.
"He served in Naval Intelligence for approximately 15 years, including assignments with Carrier Division 14, and as Assistant Naval Attache, New Delhi, India, and Kathmandu, Nepal in the 1960s. He collected intelligence and provided intelligence support throughout Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa."
"Jones has briefed the President's Scientific Advisory Committee, and has testified before House and Senate committees on intelligence matters."
Retired from the Navy around 1976 due to a parapsychological experience. After retiring, he worked for several companies, including R. F. Cross Associates, Ltd., and Kaman Tempo, a divison of Kaman Sciences. This work involved development in projects sponsored by the Defense Nuclear Agency, Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and the U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM).
Helped behind the scenes at the TREAT II conference (1/90, Blacksburg, Virginia campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute & State University). TREAT was/is organized by Rima Laibow. "As late as the summer of 1991, Jones and Laibow were planning a yachting excursion together with Col. John Alexander ... to investigate anomalies in the Bahamas."
"In 1989, MUFON appointed Jones as a Special Consultant in International Relations"
Involved in parapsychology conferences since (at least) the mid 70s
"Scott has been on the Board of Trustees of the American Society for Psychical Research (ASPR) since 1985, and now [1992] serves as its President."
Formed the Human Potential Foundation in 1989. Board members include Clark Sandground and Claiborne Pell.
"Scott often escorted Prince Hans-Adam of Liechtenstein, a very wealthy European with a long-standing interest in the paranormal. Together, they visited parapsychological laboratories and UFO conferences."
"Jones has conducted his own dolphin telepathy studies along with Colonel John Alexander and Theodore Rockwell, a prominent (Who's Who) nuclear engineer who has worked on naval nuclear propulsion systems and who also serves as vice president of the U.S. Psychotronics Association."
In his paper "Government UFO Connections" (included in "Phoenix in the Labrynth), he claims to have no knowledge of government involvement in UFOs.
"Laibow, [Gen. Albert] Stubblebine and ufologist Victoria Lacas (with Jones in the shadows) toured Europe and the Soviet Union, where they have established a prodigious UFO/Psi network." (Durant, Robert J., "Will the Real Scott Jones Please Stand Up?", 1992)
Hosted a symposium for his employer, Kaman Tempo, entitled "Applications of Anomalous Phenomena" (Leesburg, Virginia, 11/30-12/1/83). The symposium was intended to bring government, academic, and military officials up-to-date information on private psi research.
(Geller, Uri and Playfair, Guy Lyon, The Geller Effect, Johnathan Cape, 1986, pg 224-5)
"[Eldon] Byrd told me [Dick Farley] about it [Byrd's lawsuit w/ Randi] over dinner at C. B. "Scott" Jones home one evening of several we spent together back in '92 and '93 there."
Michael Persinger "is/was a big buddy of C. B. Jones (Jones says)". (Farley, Dick, "False Memory Spindrome")
Navy pilot and intelligence officer for forty years. Retains his security clearance. While a Navy attache in India, he experienced an unknown paranormal event that "enabled me to do my intelligence assignment with much greater speed than one ordinarily expected." A believer in UFOs since he saw one duting the Korean war.
His book Phoenix in the Labyrinth reportedly deals with PSI-TECH a great deal.
(Gardner, Martin, "Clairborne Pell: The Senator From Outer Space", Skeptical Inquirer, March/April 1996)
On the registration questionnaire for the 5/28/95 "When Cosmic Cultures Meet" conference, Jones asked attendees if they would consider taking a drug that would result in telepathic contact with aliens.
(Chevalier, Remy, "When Cosmic Cultures Meet", Paranoia, Issue 10, pg 11)
While working for Sen. Pell, Jones was in contact with many psychics, and often put them in touch with intelligence agencies.
(Schnabel, Jim, Remote Viewers: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies, Dell, 1997, pg 273)
In 1989, Scott claimed that the government probably didn't have a large parapsychology program (large meaning funding in the millions) apart from occasional application of research in the open literature by individuals with strong personal interests.
(Jones, C.B. Scott, "Essay Review of Psychic Warfare: Fact of Fiction?, Journal of Parapsychology, 6/89, pg 147)
This was after he himself was involved in such a program, so he would have known better).
In this essay, he also seems to doubt that the US could carry on a mind-control program (again), due to the checks and balances of our democratic system.
Jones has attended conferences in the former Soviet Union, where he was in contact with Christopher Bird (Jones, 1989, pg 144). His foundation is also involved with the research of Russian scientist Dr. Igor Smirnov.
