Former Director Central Intelligence Agency (DCI) James R. Woolsey, a man with interesting ties to alternative science, was interviewed for NEWSMAX by Kenneth R. Timmerman.
Timmerman is the author of a behind-the-scenes expose' of missile technology transfer to China involving real-life X-files intelligence analyst Ron Pandolfi, who is often associated with the UFO AVIARY group on the Internet:
CIA analyst Ronald Pandolfi was the highest ranking scientist at the Agency when he visited the headquarters of Hughes Space and Communications in El Segundo California in 1996. Pandolfi was part of a team of CIA analysts tasked to do research for a new National Intelligence Estimate on PRC's military Science and Technology -- a much more exciting topic than its title might suggest.
Timmerman's interview for NEWSMAX, "Former CIA Director: Terrorist Strike within U.S. Real Threat," confirms concerns behind the 'chatter' seeping out of the intelligence community.
Timmerman asked the former DCI his about the potential for a major attack in the United States, perhaps involving a weapon of mass destruction.
Woolsey responded, "Well, I think the threat of a serious attack in the next few months [2007] is very real. It's what Mike McConnell and Mueller have said, and what Chertoff said about his gut feeling."
Based upon intelligence sourced from anomalous mental phenomena, and statements made by government officials, we previously concluded that the public was being prepared for psychological shock coming from a catastrophic disaster involving greater loss than the 9/11 events.
Woolsey continued, "A lot of people made fun of that, but I think that was a senior government official trying to communicate something without saying here's my evidence, because if he says that, he might have blown the source or method of intelligence. So I think various things that he and McConnell and Mueller and others have been saying all suggest that there's a real possibility -- now I don't know which particular terrorist group -- of something happening and possibly something very bad, late this summer or this fall [2007]."
A brief biography of former DCI Woolsey is available from Booz Allen Hamilton, where he is described as "a Vice President working with the firm's Global Resilience clients."
According to intelligence blogger and author R.J. Hillhouse, "Almost all of the government data mining has been outsourced to corporations. The data mining controversy isn't about the U.S. government spying on Americans. It's about the government using big corporations as a Constitutional workarounds to spy on Americans. IT'S NOT THE GOVERNMENT THAT ACTUALLY SIFTS THROUGH OUR EMAILS AND PHONE RECORDS BUT COMPANIES SUCH AS LOCKHEED MARIN, RAYTHEON, SAIC and Booz Allen Hamilton AND THEIR SUBCONTRACTORS."
Woolsey was previously listed as a member of the Board of Directors for futurist John L. Petersen's Arlington Institute. Earlier this year Starstream Research obtained a copy of a AI document for a psychic intelligence project called the "WHETHEReport."
According to the AI web site:
The Arlington Institute's project "WHETHEReport" is predicated on the idea that before catastrophic, world changing events people have intuitional dreams that anticipate those events. While there have been a number of famous people throughout history who have accurately predicted the future, it also appears that almost everyone has premonitions from time to time in the form of dreams, visions, or simple gut feelings.
WHETHEReport will provide an online portal for people to create intuition journals which they could update daily. While maintaining complete privacy and anonymity, their reports will be scanned and aggregated with the most sophisticated sense making and pattern recognition technology available today in order to create visual displays of intuition clusters designed to identify potential catastrophic events.
Woolsey has been associated with various persons involved with UFO fiascos, including 'alien-contactee CEO' Joe Firmage.
Probably the best known story is the controversy over a dinner meeting attended by Woolsey, Petersen, and Dr. Stephen Greer, described in detail by the Presidential UFO Website.
Claims made by Greer about Woolsey's interest in the UFO subject were addressed in a letter from the Petersen's and Woolsey's :
It has just come to the attention of the four of us that you have, without giving any of us the opportunity to comment, published a distorted account of a dinner party of some six years ago at which the four of us, you, and your wife were seated together. In the introduction to your book, "Extraterrestrial Contact," published earlier this year you portray this dinner party conversation during which the four of us listened to your views and politely asked questions as a "briefing" with a "cover story." You further assert that Mr. and Mrs. Woolsey reported a UFO sighting to you and agreed with your views. You include specific alleged quotations from them. None of this is accurate. You have portrayed politeness as acquiescence and questions as affirmations. Your conduct in this matter contravenes both accuracy and simple manners. Sincerely, (signed) John L. Petersen Diane C. Petersen R. James Woolsey Suzanne H. Woolsey"
"
The Presidential UFO site offers a wealth of interesting tales from the UFO disclosure movement, which are familiar echoes of the current situation surrounding "Spies, Lies, and Polygraph Tape."
For example:
There also was a story that Woolsey had been previously involved in a request by former President George Bush to be briefed on the UFO subject. The story is told by Dan Smith, a researcher and friend of the CIA's UFO expert Dr. Ronald Pandolfi. Later in front of Gus Russo at a dinner party where Pandolfi was in attendance, Smith tried to get Pandolfi to confirm the story for Russo that Woolsey had been called in by Bush, and that he had told the President he had no "need-to-know." Russo was prepared to take the story to the New York Times, but this time Pandolfi denied the story.
Many years later, Gus Russo, (who is better known for his investigations of the JFK assassination and the Mob) and again at the behest of Dan Smith, wrote "The Real X-Files," concluding"
There is certainly a very small percentage government officials with intelligence clearance -- some active, some retired -- who are interested in the UFO research community, if not UFOs themselves. Some of these men are of the impression, rightly or wrongly, that a very few individuals in government and the private sector are keeping the big secret even from them. This is small consolation to earnest UFO researchers, but at least they should no longer feel alone and marginalized as kooks completely at odds with officialdom.
It's been an interesting year over at STARpod.us, the new STARstream Research website.
Migrating the older Microsoft-based website to a new Wordpress content management based site has been time consuming but the new site promises to be a more efficient way for us to provide you with the latest news from the strange world of weird science, psychic intelligence and perhaps, extraterrestrial alien contact.
