美军研究特异功能 准备用于未来战争

美军研究特异功能准备用于未来战争简介

几十年来，美国军方为了对抗苏联，确曾尝试过打造“超级战士”。这些“超级战士”会用特异功能暗中侦察敌营，用心灵遥感使核弹失效，只凭意念的力量就能毫不费力地取人性命。如果这些绝密的军事计划进展顺利，会使未来战争发生彻底的变革。

军方参与特异功能间谍活动的新闻泄露出去之后，这些研究计划被迫放弃。两名美国科学家对军方的特异功能研究进行了调研，其中一人的结论是，特异功能现象确实存在，美军真正发现了利用超自然力的途径。

至少一些相关人士目前都认为，美国正用有特异功能的遥视者积极追捕本?拉登。

盯着羊眼能使羊毙命吗？这是好莱坞电影情节（也是美军的实验！）

乍看起来，北卡罗莱纳州布拉格堡这个羊棚在世界各地都有。30只山羊凝视着羊圈无窗的混凝土墙，满意地嚼着干草。

每隔几分钟，一只山羊停止咀嚼，环顾四周，然后若无其事地继续吃草，似乎什么事情也没发生。

但就在此地，这种常态到头了。因为在隔壁同样不起眼的房间里，一名身穿作战服的年轻中士正通过装有单向玻璃的窗口盯着这些山羊。

对峙：乔治·克鲁尼用眼神击倒山羊，成了屠夫军人。

两名士兵和一位将军焦躁不安地看着他，将军偶尔摇摇头，脸上流露出一丝焦虑。

随后，看似不可能的事情发生了。中士又喝了一大口咖啡，把自己的意念集中在17号山羊身上，那只羊立刻无声地叫唤了一下，失去平衡倒地而亡。

“天哪，”将军说，“见效了！”中士默默又不无骄傲地点点头。因为他仅仅是用其意念的力量成功地使山羊毙命的。

经过多年研究之后，美军的“绝地计划”看来终于接近成功了。

这是一项打造“超级战士”的绝密军事计划，如果计划进展顺利的话，它会使战争发生彻底的变革。

这些“超级战士”会强大得难以置信，他们有超群的智力、诡诈和直觉。他们会用特异功能暗中侦察敌营，用心灵遥感使核弹失效，只凭意念的力量就能毫不费力地取人性命。

不仅如此，他们还有随心所欲地隐身和穿墙的能力。

危险临近：三只羊在山坡上，一只眼睛盯着士兵们

你可能以为“绝地计划”是好莱坞电影编剧们渴望用取悦人的荒诞故事情节来吸引观众的剧作。其实，这项计划确实作为重点展现在即将上映的好莱坞大片《盯毙山羊之人》里面，主演就是乔治·克鲁尼和伊万·麦格雷戈。

但鲜为人知的是，美军确曾尝试过打造这种“超级战士”。而用特异功能使山羊毙命仅仅是冰山一角而已。

事实上，“绝地计划”的成果，以及其它一些保密的超自然研究计划已被主动地用于战场，而且几乎可以肯定的是它们正被用于反恐战争和追捕奥萨马·本·拉登。

“你必须明白，这些主意并没有被认为是疯狂可笑的，”格伦·惠顿中士说，他是临时调派到“绝地计划”来的特种部队士兵。

“他们被视为未来的军事前哨。我们需要知道是否有可能将超自然力量用于军事目的。万一超自然力量被用来对付我们的话，我们还需要知道如何保护自己。”

特异功能战争理论的重要支持者之一曾是阿尔伯特·斯塔布尔宾三世少将，那是在 1983年，他处于其权力的巅峰。

他曾是美国最杰出的士兵之一，也是美军情报机构的首长，统领着16000名士兵。他曾在攻打巴拿马和格林纳达时起过重要作用。事实上，可以毫不夸张地说，阿尔伯特·斯塔布尔宾三世曾经位居美国军事机构的核心。

他也是一个试尝穿墙而行的人。

20世纪50年代，印度魔术师Yusultini与妻子Faeeza在沙滩上展示“悬浮”一幕：悬浮在半空中，穿墙而行：对美国军队来说，没有什么是过于极端的东西

在弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿，参观斯塔布尔宾的办公室的人们都被告知，斯塔布尔宾多次试图在四壁上行走——结果只是痛苦地被墙壁弹了回来。

但在他的心目中，对穿过固体物总有一天会成为情报收集武库里的一件常用工具从未有过丝毫的怀疑。

尽管如此，他自己的试验却一再受挫，没有取得过成功，使他困窘不已。

“我依然认为这是个好主意，”斯塔布尔宾将军说，“我只不过是一再鼻子碰壁。它就像想在半空中悬浮一样令人失望。”

斯塔布尔宾长期以来对意念的力量极感兴趣，在70年代后期，他确信美国下一场战争会使用炸弹和子弹，还会使用超自然的力量。

他的推断倾注在许多秘而不宣的超自然研究计划中，这些军事计划全用了怪诞的代号，它们得到秘密资助已有几十年之久了。

乔治·克鲁尼变成了喜剧电影里常见的男主角

极少有人听说过星门计划、超级山丘和绝地计划。但是，斯塔布尔宾将军一直热切地关注这些计划的进展情况，还慷慨解囊资助其中一些研究项目。

军方最初致力于开发“遥视”能力，这是千里眼和超感知觉的科学术语（或称ESP）。

军方推论说，训练士兵们只用自己意念的力量观察遥远的定位在战场上极为有用。因此，他们制定了星门计划来探究这种现象。

星门计划的负责人首先资助加利福尼亚州斯坦福研究院的科学家，该院是美国最负盛名的科学院之一。

很快，斯坦福大学接待了10多个有特异功能的间谍，他们甚至在向吉米·卡特总统演示时，用特异功能来寻找一架被击落的飞机。

这些遥视者用的是看似简单的方法，这种方法是建立在所谓的甘兹菲尔德技术的基础上的。

有特异功能的间谍自己坐在隔音房间里，戴着耳机以屏蔽令人心烦的杂音，会导致意念状态的改变。切成半个的乒乓球扣在他们的眼睛上来遮挡视线。随后，隔音房间就沐浴在柔和的红光中。

接下来，一个地图坐标或一幅“目标”的图像被放进一个信封里，交给这些遥视者。他们可以触摸信封，但不许打开它。

有特异功能的间谍沉浸在冥想状态之中，便会感受到图像，对可能位于数千英里之外的目标有所感觉并产生印象。

对于门外汉，这种方法听起来比猜测好不了多少。但科学家的调研发现，遥视的准确性令人惊讶，军方满怀热情地接受了它。

乔·麦梦耐格是个越战老兵，也是遥视者1号。他的职责是用遥视侦察俄罗斯的军事基地并收集情报。

20多年来，他在马里兰州米德堡的美国国家安全局总部为美国做搜集情报的遥视工作。其工作成果最终使他获得了功勋章，即美国最高的军人非战斗奖章。

“我的成功率在28%左右，”乔·麦梦耐格说，“这听起来也许挺好，但要我们出面处理的是毫无希望的案件。

“接着，我们的情报要与其它可用的情报相互验证，构成整体形象。我们已经证明自己是非常有用的‘间谍’。”

但是，军方并不满足于仅用超自然力搜集情报。他们想更进一步，将这些有特异功能的人用于进攻的目的——当美国人获悉俄国人开

发超自然力武器的庞大计划时，热情变成了狂妄。

国家对国家

40多个俄国研究所参与了开发计划，美国人非常害怕苏联会使用超自然力使美国的核导弹失灵。

为了对付这种威胁，美国有特异功能的人奉命操纵俄国电脑的运作，清除俄国电脑的硬盘。军方还要求他们阻挠核武器的雷管，阻断导弹的制导系统。所有这些工作仍是高度机密。

诸如此类的研究很快变得更加邪恶了，因为军方开始研究人类的意念是否有可能加害于活着的动物。这被称为DMILS（生命系统的直接心理交互作用）。

在60年代末，美国科学家发现，将痛苦、怨恨和消极的想法集中在霉菌上，可以抑制它的生长。在一项研究中，给予如此待遇的194个霉菌标本中有151个表现出生长迟缓。

其他科学家发现，消极的想法也会使可造成食物中毒的大肠杆菌生长减缓。

军方立即看到这项研究成果的意义。如果DMILS能被有特异功能的间谍利用起来，就会成为完美的刺客。

做到这一步最好是自然而然的，于是，军方转而向特异功能最强的人求助。其中一位是年轻的尤里·盖勒，上司要他干掉一头猪。只是有一个问题是其上司没有想到的——尤里是个始终尊重一切生命的素食主义者。

“他们要我仅仅使用意念杀死那只可怜的动物，”尤里说，“我无法告诉你我有多么震惊。我喜爱动物。我的能力不能用来害命。

“那时候，我既年轻又单纯，但在那一刻，我意识到自己是在跟什么样的人打交道。我冲出那个房间，告别了那个计划。”

当然，军方并没有因为尤里的离开而放弃这项研究计划。它只不过在布拉格堡的美军特种部队指挥部变成了绝地计划。

参与绝地计划的格伦·惠顿中士最近告诉我干掉很多动物的尝试。起初，他们用狗试验，但有特异功能的士兵不忍心弄死它们，特别是在这些动物用棕色的大眼睛望着他们的时候。

他们最终选择了山羊，理由是没有人能够同情像山羊那样难看的动物。“特种部队的一名士兵迈克尔·埃切尼斯只需心念一转，就能使山羊停止心跳，”惠顿中士说，“我当时是看着他做的。

“血开始从羊鼻子里滴出来。接着，血沫开始从羊嘴里冒出来。那只羊侧身倒了下去，抽搐了一下就死了。用了不到30秒钟。那场面看着可真吓人。

“在那之后不久，我们意识到一切事情都是有代价的。迈克尔罹患了心脏交感神经损伤。也许这就是因果报应。”

机密泄漏

军方参与特异功能间谍活动和绝地计划的新闻逐步泄露了出去。特异功能的多项计划在军方内部是一直有争议的。许多人基于宗教的理由反对这些计划，谴责它们是撒旦；其他人把这些计划视为极无理性的产物，与现代化的军事格格不入。

不足为奇的是，随后，斯塔布尔宾将军在1984年悄悄退休了。星门计划随之缩小，最终移交给美国中央情报局，尔后告终。

1995年，五角大楼终于证实，他们为美国的国家利益确实研究过特异功能现象。他们指出，由于俄国人当时正在利用特异功能，美国必须也研究这种现象。

他们还指定了两名外界的科学家对这种研究进行调研。经过一年多的等待，这项调研结果被公诸于众。

尽管第一位研究员雷·伊海曼博士的评价仍是好坏参半，第二位研究员，来自戴维斯加州大学的杰西卡·乌兹教授的结论则是特异功能现象确实存在。她认为，美军真正发现了利用超自然力的途径。

这并不奇怪，因此，有些人声称，军方已经重新启动特异功能间谍计划。我曾与4名前特异功能间谍交谈。大家都认为美国正用遥视者积极追捕本·拉登——尽管遥视者只有格伦·惠顿中士一人，但其过程都会一一记录在案。

“本·拉登迟早会被发现的，”他说，“他的位置将被缩小到四五处，那些地方同时都会受到打击。”

特异功能的能力真会结束反恐战争吗？那样，至少可怜的山羊就算没白白送命了。

Can you kill a goat by staring into its eyes? That's the plot of a Hollywood film (and a U.S. army experiment!)

By Dr Danny Penman

Last updated at 8:20 AM on 23rd October 2009

At first glance, the goat shed at Fort Bragg in North Carolina could be anywhere in the world. Thirty goats are happily munching away on their hay and staring at the blank concrete walls of their stable.

Every few minutes, one stops chewing, looks around, and then nonchalantly continues eating as if nothing has happened.

But that is where the normality ends. For in an equally nondescript room next door, a young sergeant in combat fatigues is staring at the goats through a window fitted with one-way glass.

Face-off: George Clooney becomes a killer soldier as he stares down a goat

Two soldiers and a general are anxiously watching him, and every so often, the general shakes his head, a slightly worried look crossing his face.

And then the seemingly impossible happens. The sergeant takes another swig of coffee and focuses his mind on Goat Number 17 - which promptly lets out a silent bleat, keels over and dies.

'My God,' says the general. 'It works!' The sergeant nods silently - and not a little proudly. For he has just managed to kill the goat using nothing more than the power of his mind.

Finally, after years of research, the U.S. Army's Project Jedi seems to be on the verge of success.

This was a top-secret military project to create a breed of 'super-soldier' who, if all went to plan, would revolutionise warfare.

They would be fantastically strong and possess superior intelligence, cunning and intuition. They would use psychic powers to spy on the enemy, disable nuclear bombs with telekinesis, and effortlessly kill with the power of thought alone.

Not only that, they would also have the ability to become invisible at will and to walk through walls.

Danger about: Three goats are on the hillside, keeping an eye out for soldiers

You might think Project Jedi was the product of Hollywood scriptwriters eager to tempt audiences with a delightfully crazy plot. Indeed, the project does lie at the heart of the soon-to-be-released Hollywood blockbuster The Men Who Stare At Goats, starring George Clooney and Ewan McGregor.

What is less well-known, however, is that the U.S. military did try to create such a breed of 'supersoldier'. And that killing goats with psychic powers was just the tip of the iceberg.

Indeed, the fruits of Project Jedi, and several other clandestine paranormal projects, have been actively used in battle - and are almost certainly being employed in the war on terror and the hunt for Osama Bin Laden.

'You have to understand that these ideas were not considered wacky,' says Sergeant Glenn Wheaton, a Special Forces soldier seconded to Project Jedi.

'They were seen as the next military frontier. We needed to know whether it was possible to use paranormal forces for military ends. We also needed to know how to protect ourselves should they be used against us.'

One of the great proponents of psychic warfare was Major General Albert Stubblebine III - and back in 1983, he was at the height of his powers.

He was one of America's most distinguished soldiers and chief of U.S. Army Intelligence, with 16,000 soldiers under his command. He was instrumental in the invasions of Panama and Grenada. In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that Albert Stubblebine III was at the heart of America's military machine.

He was also a man who tried to walk through walls.

Indian magician Yusultini and his wife Faeeza demonstrate their 'levitation' act on a beach in the 1950s: Levitation and walking through walls: Nothing was too extreme for the U.S. Army

Visitors to Stubblebine's offices at Arlington, Virginia, are told of him repeatedly walking at walls - only to bounce painfully off them.

But in his mind, there was never any doubt that the ability to pass through solid objects would one day be a common tool in the intelligence-gathering arsenal.

Nonetheless, he was continuously frustrated by his own, rather embarrassing, lack of success.

'I still think it's a great idea,' says General Stubblebine. 'I simply kept bumping my nose. It's a disappointment - just like levitation.'

Stubblebine has long been fascinated by the power of the mind, and in the late Seventies was convinced that America's next war would be fought with psychic powers as well as bombs and bullets.

His reasoning lay in the numerous covert psychic projects - all with bizarre names - the military had been secretly funding for decades.

Very few had even heard of the Stargate Project, MK Ultra and Project Jedi. General Stubblebine, however, had been following them intently and funding some of them lavishly.

The military initially focused on 'remote viewing', the scientific term for clairvoyance and extrasensory perception (or ESP).

They reasoned that training soldiers to view distant locations using nothing more than the power of their minds could be immensely useful on the battlefield. And so they created the Stargate Project to explore such phenomena.

The directors of Stargate began by funding scientists at the Stanford Research Institute in California, one of America's most prestigious science academies.

Very soon, Stanford played host to more than a dozen psychic spies and their skills were even demonstrated to President Jimmy Carter when they were used to search for a downed aircraft.

The remote viewers used a deceptively simple method based on what is known as the Ganzfeld technique.

The psychic spies induced an altered state of consciousness by seating themselves in a soundproof room and wearing earphones playing white noise. Ping-pong balls sliced in half were placed over their eyes to obscure vision. The room was then bathed in soft red light.

The map coordinates or an image of the 'target' would then be placed in an envelope and handed to the viewers. They would be allowed to touch the envelope, but forbidden from opening it.

Locked in their meditative trance, the psychic spies would then experience pictures, feelings and impressions of the target, which might be located thousands of miles away.

To the uninitiated, this approach may sound little better than guesswork. But the scientists investigating remote viewing found it to be surprisingly accurate and the military took it on with enthusiasm.

Joe McMoneagle was a Vietnam veteran and also Remote Viewer No1. His role was to use remote viewing to spy on Russian military bases and gather intelligence.

He spent more than 20 years as a remote viewer working for U.S. intelligence at Fort Meade, Maryland, the HQ of the National Security Agency. His work eventually earned him the Legion of Merit, America's highest military non-combat medal.

'My success rate was around 28 per cent,' says Joe McMoneagle. 'That may not sound very good, but we were brought in to deal with the hopeless cases.

'Our information was then cross-checked with any other available intelligence to build up an overall picture. We proved to be quite useful "spies".'

But the military was not content to use psychics merely to gather intelligence. They wanted to go further and use them for offensive purposes, too - an enthusiasm that turned

to paranoia when the Americans learned of a huge Russian programme to develop their own psychic weapons.

Nation vs nation

More than 40 Russian institutes were involved and the Americans were terrified that the Soviets would use psychics to disable their nuclear missiles.

To combat the threat, American psychics were tasked with manipulating the workings of Russian computers and erasing their hard discs. They were also asked to interfere with the detonators of nuclear weapons and interrupt the guidance systems of missiles. All of this work is still highly classified.

AND things soon turned even more sinister - for the military began investigating whether human thought could inflict damage on living creatures. This is known as DMILS (Direct Mental Interaction with Living Systems).

In the late Sixties, American scientists had discovered that focusing bitter, vindictive and negative thoughts on mould inhibited its growth. In one study, 151 of 194 samples given this treatment showed retarded growth.

Other scientists found that negative thoughts could also slow the growth of the food poisoning bug E.coli.

The military immediately saw the implications of this work. If DMILS could be harnessed by their psychic spies, they would become the perfect assassins.

It was only natural, then, for the military to turn to their most accomplished psychics for help. One of them, a youthful Uri Geller, was asked to kill a pig. There was just one problem, which hadn't occurred to his handlers - Uri was a vegetarian with an abiding respect for all life.

'They asked me to kill the poor creature using thought alone,' Uri says. 'I cannot tell you how shocked I was. I love animals. My powers cannot be used to harm.

'In those days, I was young and na've, but in that moment I realised who I'd become associated with. I catapulted myself out of that room and left the programme.'

The military, of course, didn't abandon the project just because Uri had left. It merely morphed into Project Jedi at Fort Bragg, headquarters of U.S. Special Forces.

Sergeant Glenn Wheaton, of Project Jedi, recently told me of the attempts to kill numerous animals. First they tried dogs, but the psychic soldiers couldn't bring themselves to kill them, especially when the creatures were looking at them with their big brown eyes.

They finally chose goats, reasoning that no one could empathise with a creature as ugly as a goat. 'One of the Special Forces soldiers, Michael Echanis, could stop the heart of a goat just by thinking about it,' says Sergeant Wheaton. 'I watched him do it.

'Blood began to drip from its nose. Froth then started to bubble from its mouth. The creature fell onto its side, had a fit and died. I can't have taken longer than 30 seconds. It was chilling to watch.

'We realised soon after that everything comes with a cost. Michael suffered a sympathetic injury to his heart. Maybe it was karma.'

Leaks

News of the military's involvement with psychic spying and Project Jedi gradually leaked out. The psychic programmes had always been controversial within the military. Many opposed them on religious grounds, branding them Satanic; others saw them as deeply irrational and unbefitting of a modern military.

It was hardly surprising then that General Stubblebine was quietly retired in 1984. The Stargate Project was then downsized and eventually transferred to the CIA before being closed down.

In 1995, the Pentagon finally confirmed that they had indeed investigated paranormal phenomena 'in the national interest'. They argued that because the Russians were using psychics, the U.S. must investigate such phenomena, too.

They also appointed two external scientists to investigate the research. After more than a year of waiting, the results of this audit were released.

Although the first researcher, Dr Ray Hyman, remained ambivalent, the second, Professor Jessica Utts from the University of California at Davis, concluded that psychic phenomena were indeed real. She believed the U.S. Army had genuinely discovered a way of harnessing the paranormal.

It's hardly surprising, then, that some are claiming the military has re-activated its psychic spying programme. I have spoken to four former psychic spies. All agree that the U.S. is actively hunting for Bin Laden using remote viewers - although only one, Sergeant Glenn Wheaton, would go on the record.

'Sooner or later, Bin Laden will be found,' he says. 'His location will be narrowed down to four or five places - and they will all be hit simultaneously.'

And if psychic powers do end the war on terror? Well, at least that poor goat won't have died in vain.
