... GLOBAL NEWS . ... NEWS UNITED STATES THWARTS EUROPEAN GPS PLAN better than the current GPS system, and it would arrive on the market before the new generation of American system," said Gantelet. (Source: Wired, January 17, 2002, http:/}www.wired.com/news/politics/) We all the claims made about remote viewing, it has been a sad fact that no remote viewers (in the civilian world) have ever been documented actually locat- ing a missing person—until now. Joe McMoneagle granted permission to publish details of some work he did recently for national television in Japan, under the supervision of Japanese law enforcement authorities. Joe worked a number of targets "double blind" while being taped for Japanese TV. In the first session, he was given a blank envelope with the name of a target inside (a 48-year old woman who had been miss- ing for 27 years). Joe had done preliminary work on this target at his home in Virginia, prior to travelling to Japan for the videotaping. He was able to give authorities the exact loca- tion of the missing woman: the island, the city, the specific prefecture within the city. He described the apartment complex, the apartment building, picked the right floor and even directed authorities to a specific apartment. Japanese police and television crews were suitably impressed. "They were very surprised to find her actually residing in it under her maiden name," explains Joe. "I think it woke the Japanese detective agency and police up. I don't think they ever expected me to find her—especially from Virginia, using only her name in a blank, sealed envelope." A second target involved a missing man, whose name was also sealed in a blank envelope. Again, Joe was able to give authorities the city, prefecture and apart- ment complex where the man is now liv- ing. The apartment complex has 1,200 residences that are all identical, so police are still trying to find the exact one. But they have confirmed that the man cashed cheques in that area recently, and some of the local residents have identified him based on his picture. McMoneagle has been videotaped 22 times for Japanese TV. He says 18 of those sessions were successful. When giving permission to post this, McMoneagle cautioned: "I don't want to see people waving it around as extant proof of their own remote viewing capabil- ity. They can make their own tapes with someone's national television studio."

The proposed system, dubbed Galileo, was intended to give Europeans more autonomy, both industrially and militarily. That's no small concern, since the United States can selectively block access to GPS, as it did during the military campaigns in Afghanistan and in the Gulf War. European plans to develop a rapid- reaction military force would also have become much more credible with their own GPS in military operations. But US Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz sent a letter to all 15 European Union defence ministers last month, urging them to influence their gov- ernments not to proceed with Galileo. Wolfowitz's rationale, according to Gilles Gantelet, spokesman for the European commissioner in charge of the project, is that the US Defense Department, which funds and operates GPS, plans to upgrade the system's capa- bilities and use more frequencies for sig- nals. The European system, Wolfowitz reportedly cautioned, Axis OF SEM could inter- fere with that. But Q 2 Ss c Gantelet .

The move follows reports in the media that the controversial Office of Strategic Influence might start planting false stories among foreign journalists and spreading disinformation. US Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said such criticisms were "off the mark", but they were so damaging that the unit's ability to function effectively had been irreparably compromised. The Office was created following the September 11 attacks on America, as part of efforts to combat international terrorism. Meantime, President Bush has pledged that his administration would tell the American people the truth about its foreign policy. Maybe the unit is still at work?
