Alexander is a friend of Vice President Al Gore Jnr, their rela- tionship dating back to 1983 when Gore was in Alexander's Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) course. NLP "presented to selected general officers and senior executive service members” a set of techniques to modify behaviour patterns.* Among the first generals to take the course was the then Lieutenant General Maxwell Thurman, who later went on to receive his fourth star and become Vice-Chief of Staff of the Army and Commander Southern Command.» Among other senior participants were Tom Downey and Major General Stubblebine, former Director of the Army Intelligence Security Command. "In 1983, the Jedi master [from the Star Wars movie—author] provided an image and a name for the Jedi Project."* Jedi Project's aim was to seek and “construct teachable models of behavioural/physical excellence using unconventional means."™ According to Alexander, the Jedi Project was to be a follow-up to Neuro-Linguistic Programming skills. By using the influence of friends such as Major General Stubblebine, who was then head of the US Army Intelligence and Security Command, he managed to fund Jedi. In reality the concept was old hat, re-christened by Alexander, The original idea, which was to show how “human will-power and human concentration affect performance more than any other single factor" using NLP skills, was the brainchild of three independent people; Fritz Erikson, a Gestalt therapist, Virginia Satir, a family therapist, and Erick Erickson, a hypnotist. Alexander obtained a BSc. from the University of Nebraska and an MA from Pepperdine University. In 1980 he was awarded a PhD from Walden University” for his thesis "To determine whether or not significant changes in spirituality occur in persons who attended a Kubler-Ross life/death transition workshop during the period June through February 1979." His dissertation commit- tee was chaired by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. He has long been interested in what used to be regarded as ‘fringe! areas. In 1971, while a Captain in the infantry at Schofield Barracks, Honolulu, he was diving in the Bimini Islands looking for the lost continent of Atlantis. He was an official representative for the Silva mind control organisation and a lecturer on Precataclysmic Civilisations." Alexander is also a past President and a board member of the International Association for Near Death Studies; and, with his former wife, Jan Northup, he helped: Dr C. B. Scott Jones perform ESP experiments with dolphins.” PSI-TECH Retired Major General Albert N. Stubblebine (former Director of US Army Intelligence and Security Command) and Alexander are on the board of a ‘remote viewing’ company called PSI-TECH. The company also employs Major Edward Dames (ex Defence Intelligence Agency), Major David Morehouse (ex 82nd Airborne Division), and Ron Blackburn (former microwave scientist and specialist at Kirkland Air Force Base), PSI-TECH has received several government contracts. For example, during the Gulf War crisis the Department of Defense asked it to use remote viewing to locate Saddam's Scud missiles sites. Last year (1992) the FBI sought PSI-TECH's assistance to locate a kidnapped Exxon execu- tive.” With Major Richard Groller and Janet Morris as his co-authors, Alexander published The Warrior's Edge in 1990.* The book describes in detail various unconventional methods which would enable the practitioner to acquire "human excellence and optimum performance" and thereby become an invincible warrior.* The purpose of the book is "to unlock the door to the extraordinary human potentials inherent in each of us. To do this, we, like gov- ernments around the world, must take a fresh look at non-tradi- tional methods of affecting reality. We must raise human con- sciousness of the potential power of the individual body/mind sys- JANET MORRIS Janet Morris, co-author of The Warrior's Edge, is best known as a science fiction writer but has been a member of the New York Academy of Sciences since 1980 and is a member of the Association for Electronic Defense. She is also the Research Director of the US Global Strategy Council (USGSC). She was initiated into the Japanese art of bioenergetics, Joh-re, the Indonesian brotherhood of Subud, and graduated from the Silva course in advanced mind control. She has been conducting remote-viewing experiments for fifteen years. She worked on a research project investigating the effects of mind on probability in computer systems. Her husband, Robert Morris, is a former judge and a key member of the American Security Council.” In a recent telephone conversation with the author,* Janet Morris confirmed John Alexander's involvement in mind control and psychotronic projects in the Los Alamos National Laboratories. Alexander and his team have recently been working with Dr Igor Smirnov, a psychologist from the Moscow Institute of Psychocorrelations. They were invited to the US after Janet Morris’ visit to Russia in 1991. There she was shown the tech- nique which was pioneered by the Russian Department of Psycho- Correction at Moscow Medical Academy. The Russians employ a technique to electronically analyse the human mind in order to influence it. They input subliminal command messages, using key words transmitted in ‘white noise’ or music.** Using an infrasound very low frequency-type transmission, the acoustic psycho-correc- tion message is transmitted via bone conduction—ear plugs would not restrict the message. To do that would require an entire body protection system. According to the Russians the subliminal mes- sages bypass the conscious level and are effective almost immedi- ately.
