Parapsychology and the Media with Joe McMoneagle (4K Reboot)

Summary

Former Army psychic spy Joseph McMoneagle, one of the original remote viewers in the U.S. government's secret Stargate program, describes roughly 150 remote viewing demonstrations he performed on primetime television in seven countries. He explains why media attention seems to raise his success rate, and why mid-level bureaucrats, clients, and hostile debunkers shy away from or attack psychic research. His stories include a Japanese physics professor who vowed to resign if he couldn't expose a trick, and a Russian tanker that appeared exactly where he had drawn a boat.

Transcript excerpt

Something about having all of that attention that the media brings to an event produces a higher success rate. Well, it's two things, really. One is what you're actually doing is more important. It has a higher importance to it. You certainly don't want to fail while you're doing it on film for, say, 19 million Americans. You just don't want that to happen. In some cases, you're being judged, so you're kind of representing the field. So you have that fear involved. But in most cases, it just simply has to do with the fact that people don't want it to work.
