The Stargate Conundrum

The US Government’s secret pursuit of the psychic drug

“There are two ways to be fooled.

One is to believe what isn’t true;

the other is to refuse to believe what is true.”

Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855)

Introduction

In 1997, two British authors, Clive Prince and Lynn Picknett, were searching for new material that would

hold the promise of a new scoop. Clive Prince had always been interested in a little-known episode in the

history of, yes, what? UFOlogy? Para-psychological research? Government black budgets? The episode

involved the so-called Council of Nine, allegedly a group of nine extraterrestrial beings that claimed to be the

original Nine Creator Gods of Egypt, reporting into the Creator God Atum. Extra-terrestrials posing as gods

– or perceived as gods by us, earthlings. This was the same premise as that of the movie Stargate and hence

the title of the publication was called The Stargate Conspiracy . In the end, the authors concluded that from

1950-ish onwards, a small group of people had been working on an agenda to persuade Western civilisation

that the Council of Nine were genuine extra-terrestrial beings, which had been responsible for the creation of

the Egyptian civilisation, and which were still “out there” now. The goal of this agenda? To cultivate us into

believing this “myth”.

The research for this book was largely done by Clive Prince and I, with interpretations of the uncovered

material largely in the domain of the two authors. In the end, this meant that the book was dedicated to me.

Though the premise of the book was and is sustainable, certain key ingredients suggested – or hinted – that

it was not the full story. Because of time restraints and consistency of the book, those areas were not further

explored. Subsequent publications took Clive Prince and Lynn Picknett towards the mystery of Rudolph

Hess and other political intrigues of the 20 th century, but the inconsistencies kept nagging away in the back of

my mind, whenever I chanced upon an episode of Stargate-SG1 on television, or other circumstances. I

realised that there were both gaps in our understanding – hinted at by inconsistencies that had fallen by the

wayside of that book – and our research.

What was the problem?

At a high level, it was this: if the government wanted to create a false belief in extra-terrestrials, several

government projects that we know existed, were not required. The government did not have to spend twenty

years of research on the remote viewing project to feign belief in ET. If anything, the project’s longevity

softened the case for “the Nine”. In the case of Andrija Puharich, who had been instrumental in launching the

belief in these nine entities, there would have been no genuine interest, passion or belief in what he did. But

he did care. Rather, if it was a campaign “to make us believe” and nothing more, it would only take a small

group of people, operating from behind the scenes, propagating material either directly in the press, or via

other channels. Also, this clique would not have directly involved Puharich in the manner Puharich had been

involved. Though there was evidence that this was going on with the UFO-subject, the evidence uncovered

during the research stage of The Stargate Conspiracy , had not unearthed such material. Though “the Nine”

were being created as a modern myth, this was note the original goal of the original players, but something

that developed along the way, by people with a different agenda, abusing the original research… which we

know happens all too often in life.

At a more detailed level, the origins of the conspiracy could be traced back to the late 1940s and early 1950s.

A small group of highly influential people, including Arthur Young, who was responsible for the “economisation”

of the helicopter, held experiments in trying to contact “intelligences” of a “higher realm”. One person

instrumental in this was our Andrija Puharich, a doctor working for the American government. In fact, the

experiments seemed to have the full backing of the military. This suspicion became accepted fact in the

following decades, when Puharich played a key role in the so-called “remote viewing” projects of the Ameri-

can military community, which started in the 1970s. Puharich roamed the world in search of potential psychics

who would participate in the endeavour to try and uncover information only accessible via “paranormal”,

psychic means, a technique they labelled “remote viewing”. It was clear that the new label was merely a

selling point, as the words “paranormal” and “psychic” had received a negative connotation – one the military

wanted to do without. At the same time, the new spin also allowed for a quiet bland name, which could mean

anything, such as viewing via satellite (often labelled remote sensing). In the end, Puharich uncovered at least

one such “remote viewer”, Uri Geller, who would after his co-operation in the project become famous for his

spoon-bending exploits. To this day, Geller has remained a celebrity, who ranks American pop star Michael

Jackson amongst his closest friends – at least until Geller told Jackson that an interview with Martin Bashir

would be beneficial for the pop star’s career...

Until the early 1990s, the remote viewing project would continue at the heart of the American intelligence

industry, during one of its phases using the project name “Stargate”. One question remained. Why did it last?

Officially, the project was a reaction to rumours that the Soviet Union had a similar project underway and

hence the Americans needed to start immediately so as not to be outdone by the opposition.

“Tests,” CIA big wig Helms had stated, “were necessary to keep up with the Soviets.” However, Helms

reversed his own position in 1964 when testifying before the Warren Commission, which was investigating

the JFK assassination. There he claimed that “Soviet research has consistently lagged five years behind

Western research.”

But using the Soviets as the scapegoat why such research was occurring in the 1960s did not apply to the

early origins of the endeavour. Why, in 1952, with no such rumours of Soviet involvement floating around, did

a military doctor, a powerful aeroplane developer and other influential people receive the backing of the

American government in their endeavours to contact a “higher intelligence” on a “higher plane”? One nag-

ging thought kept lingering in my mind, and this was a disturbing one: did the US government somehow know

that such intelligences existed? That they could be contacted? The idea seemed to belong in a bad “B science

fiction movie”, but the strangeness of the question is merely because we all “know” that there are – of

course – no such denizens of a hyper-dimension. Much later, in the 1980s and 1990s, when people described

encounters that in medieval times would have been labelled as “witches’ experiences of being taken on a ride

with the devil to his world”, these encounters were labelled “UFO abductions”, i.e. abductions by extra-

terrestrial beings of humans to spaceships orbiting our planet. Even though science was progressing with

quantum physics and required many more dimensions than we experience, those same scientists apparently

could not accept that there were intelligences existing in those higher dimensions. Furthermore, many of the

best and earliest quantum physicists were part of the small circle that hung around Puharich. Coincidence?

But even if these denizens of another world existed, how could they be contacted? One quite simple scenario

came to mind. The word “American intelligence” at that time was personified by Allen Dulles, Director of

Central Intelligence, veteran of the OSS, the CIA’s predecessor. He was also brother to the Secretary of

State, John Foster Dulles. During World War II, Allen Dulles was based in Switzerland and in what is known

but seldom highlighted, was a close friend of psychologist Carl Gustav Jung. Jung, together with Sigmund

Freud, the most famous psychologists of the 20 th century, had created a psychological philosophy that stressed

the existence of “archetypes”. These archetypes were somehow external forces, “principles”, present inside

the collective unconsciousness, the sum of all our individual brains – or souls? – that somehow was bigger

than the sum of the individual parts and hence was a force that worked both on another dimension, but whose

effects were also visible on our plane of existence, i.e. our everyday reality. In short: it is like the computer

code and the Artificial Intelligence that operates in the The Matrix movies. Jung’s theory was furthermore in

line with the thinking of many religions, including the Australian Aboriginals, who believe that our reality is like

a dream, with the soul living a “real existence” on a higher plane of existence, or to use modern parlance,

dimension.

Because Jung and Dulles were close friends, Dulles was fully aware of Jung’s ideas, if only because that

was Jung’s prime interest. Rather than Freud, who tried to create a psychology for our everyday reality,

Jung’s primary interest, which he tried to share with his friends, was to map a connection between our

everyday realm and the realm of the soul. As such, Jung was interested in many things, including UFOs,

mandalas, in short: anything to do with a possible higher dimension and the soul. He himself claimed to have

been in contact with such higher dimensional entities and it may even be argued that these experiences were

at the basis of his theory of the collective unconscious.

That was the situation as it stood in 1945, when the Second World War ended. Then the American govern-

ment, including Allen Dulles as its prima donna, decided to lift Nazi Germany’s knowledge and incorporate it

in America, so that it was equipped in the upcoming struggle with communism. This transfer of knowledge

also meant a transfer of people, some of these occurring in the utmost secrecy, in an operation now known as

“Paperclip”. Some transfers were slightly more visible, as in the case of Werner von Braun, who would

become instrumental in America’s race into space.

The atom bomb had been another fruit of this transfer, with some rumours that Nazi Germany had even

developed the bomb. More recently, British aerospace consultant and writer for Jane’s Defence Weekly

Nick Cook has posited that experiments with “anti-gravity” (another pejoratively charged word) in Nazi

Germany had also been replanted inside the black budgets of the American government – resulting in some

of this technology being used in modern aircrafts. At the same time, it was known that Nazi “doctors” had

been experimenting with genetic modification programmes, to create the “Master Race”. And I often won-

dered why amongst the scientists that were transferred to America there were so many psychologists and

psychiatrists, and doctors? What could they do for the American government? Either they had been paid by

the American government to do nothing, either they had all left to work in the private industry (begging the

question why the government had gone to the lengths it had to get them to America) or they had been

employed by the American government on projects that had so far not seen the light of day. I could not help

but wonder in the latter case whether I had landed in the world of Fox Mulder and Dana Scully and their “X

Files”.

From a logical point of view, several things did not match. Specifically, apart from Puharich, two anomalous

characters came to mind: Hal Puthoff and John Alexander. Hal Puthoff was a physicist. He had set up, in the

early 1970s, the first visible (or should that be official) – though at the time secret – “remote viewing” project.

People’s careers often take strange leaps, and why a physicist ended up working with psychics was some-

what bizarre, but not beyond the realm of the possible. What was stranger was what Puthoff did next. When

he left the project after roughly 15 years, he began to study so-called “zero point energy”, another “new-

speak” word that had become the substitute for anti-gravity. From “normal” physicist, Puthoff had become

what would have been deemed an alchemist in medieval times. To remove its newspeak wrapping, “zero

point energy” is nothing more than an energy from another dimension, if not the energy from “the” source –

God – which brings us back to the nine entities, who seem to be from that same source.

Was there, somewhere in Nature, a force that produced unlimited amounts of energy? Physics suggested the

answer was a theoretical “yes” and that this force was the so-called “zero point”, but it was deemed to be

beyond “human intervention” – out there, but not somewhere where we could even boldly go.

Physicist David Bohm had defined zero point as how the “wave particle” of gravity has a zero point energy.

“As we keep adding excitations corresponding to shorter and shorter wavelengths to the gravitational field,

we come to a certain length at which the measurement of space and time becomes totally indefinable.

Beyond this, the whole notion of space and time as we know it fade out, into something that is at present

unspecifiable.” So zero-point meant no space, no time boundaries. 1 As our reality is based upon neatly

ordered space and time, zero-point was going beyond this… to a point in which there would be an enormous

release of energy: “free energy.” It was felt that if this door was opened into the “zero point”, energy would

somehow continue to roll out of it.

At the time Puthoff endeavoured to uncover its mystery, however, academics believed harnessing its energy

was a waste of energy. No-one would ever pull it off. So why was Puthoff so persistent, thinking he might

make money out of it? A sceptic might have thought that Puthoff was a loony-tune anyway: “from psychic

stuff to anti-gravity stuff. The guy is just a geek. No real potential there.” But such labelling was the easy

way out. And it seldom was the right answer.

I wondered. Remote viewing revolved around techniques of accessing another dimension from this dimen-

sion. Say beyond the barriers of time and/or space. “Mental time travel.”

The instrument for doing this was the brain. How it happened, no-one seemed to know – though there were

some pointers in the work of Puharich… pointers seldom if ever taken seriously, but which I felt I had to

investigate. Anyway, could there be a link between the brain and this zero point energy? Was this Puthoff’s
