Understanding underdevelopment:
When CIA operatives were training Afghan special forces during the Afghanistan War, most of the best Afghan fighters were illiterate and could not count above 30. They had to be taught 1st grade math by the CIA. Once, the CIA took a group of Afghan special forces commandos out to look at the full moon and told them the moon was 240,000 miles away and we landed on it 50 years ago. An Afghan commando said, “That’s impossible. The moon is too small to land people on.”
All Afghan commandos had a habit of raping each other. This happened so often the CIA had to implement a policy of knocking on their barrack doors before entering to let them know to hurry and wrap up the raping because there was a new mission. No child on the streets of Afghanistan was safe because he would be snatched and raped by special forces. When a CIA operative asked an Afghan commando why he decided to join special forces and not the regular army, the commando replied, “Because I get raped less here.”
80% of Afghan special forces were high on opium. CIA operatives had to take away their opium pipes before each mission and give them back afterwards. These were the best trained forces in Afghanistan. These were the "good guys" fighting the Taliban and Al Qaeda.
Afghanistan is one of the most underdeveloped and corrupt parts of the world. Afghanistan doesn’t really exist. It’s too underdeveloped to exist as a nation. It is a mountainous field of dozens of tribes all trying to kill, rape, and enslave each other. This is how most of mankind lived until not too long ago. This is what humanity is like without education and development. And yet Americans wasted trillions trying to bring democracy, feminism, and gay rights there. This is why understanding developmental psychology matters.
Liberals and leftists fundamentally do not understand human nature. Which is why liberalism and leftism fails over and over and over again. What you have to understand, fundamentally, is that mankind is stupid and evil. Without this insight your whole worldview will be wrong. This is why I spend a lot of my time closely studying human stupidity and corruption. I read books about the raping of children, just to understand human nature accurately. This to me is real spirituality — understanding the force of survival. You have to understand the beast you're dealing with.
In 1979 a Chinese newspaper published a report of an 11 year old boy named Tang Yu who had the remarkable ability to read text with his ears. It worked like this: if you wrote down a few Chinese characters on a tiny piece of paper, rolled it up into a ball, and placed it inside his ear, he could read the characters back to you. This psy ability was called Extraocular Image. The Chinese Communists recruited such children into their military intelligence programs. When the CIA found out about this by reading the newspaper they went ape-shit and doubled their efforts to develop their own psychic recruitment and training programs. The psychic wars between the US, China, and Russia were on.

This film is a comedy very loosely based on the US military's actual remote viewing training programs. It mocks the subject matter, but I'm posting it here for entertainment purposes. Don't expect any understanding of the actual history of the program or remote viewing from this film.
Is it a good film? It's not great, it's average. But worth a watch just for fun.
Russell Targ ran the remote viewing lab for the CIA and US military. Lyn Buchanan was also involved. This is not some obscure conspiracy theory. This information is widely acknowledged and well-documented with declassified documents. And it wasn't just some little failed side project. Remote viewing played a major role in US military intelligence operations for decades. Remote viewing intel was given up as high as US presidents. US presidents and the highest ranks of the military know that remote viewing is used to gather intelligence. For example, remote viewing was employed in the 1979 Iran hostage crisis, when 66 Americans were taken hostage by the Khomeini regime during the Jimmy Carter administration. This was called Project Grill Flame. Jimmy Carter was photographed holding a folder labeled "Grill Flame".
It is a fact that the CIA, US military, police departments, and large mining companies successfully employ remote viewers for espionage, counter-terrorism, counter-narcotics, criminal investigation, and mining discoveries. There is no disputing this fact. It is also a fact that psychic research is done by Russian, Chinese, and Israeli intelligence services.
Not only did the US military employ remote viewers, they created a remote viewing training program for military and intelligence officials. Hundreds of military people with top security clearances were enrolled in these training programs. This is a historical fact, not a conspiracy theory. These training programs successfully identified people with psychic abilities within the military ranks. Several extremely talented psychics were discovered and trained, and many others without talents yielded mediocre results.
Some of the world's largest mining companies have paid over $30 million dollars to a single remote viewer to help them find ore deposits. They pay $1 million dollars per remote view. Would they do that if it didn't work? Would they do it 30 times?
If you were a legit psychic you could charge $1 million per remote view. This has been done. This is a fact. So what's the catch? Why doesn't everyone do this? Because psychic abilities of such accuracy and clarity are extremely rare — a genetic gift.
I've studied this issue a lot and the research done on remote viewing is overwhelming, from many diverse sources. Remote viewing is largely a rare genetic talent — some people are exceptionally good at it — but it can also be trained up to some degree. The world's best remote viewers have an accuracy of 80%+. Yes, there is such a thing as legit psychics. Governments hire the best ones and pays them lots of money. They just don't openly talk about it because the optics of it are bad, as materialists would ridicule them because materialists are too stupid to understand metaphysics. So yes, materialist metaphysics fails to account for all these facts, which is why it is wrong. Metaphysics is not just armchair philosophy, it has empirical consequences. A wrong metaphysics fails to account for all the facts.
The only reason this stuff is not commonly known is because it cannot be explained by materialist metaphysics. That which the mind has no way to explain to itself, it denies and deems as "impossible". But once you upgrade your metaphysics all sorts of new phenomena become realistic and reasonable.
If you are interested in learning remote viewing, Lyn Buchanan offers video courses and trainings here. I have not taken his courses so I have no idea how good they are. Purchase at your own risk.
I really enjoyed this documentary.
This is entrepreneurship at Stage Purple. This is what human life was like for most of history. And it's still this way for millions today.
