Is there anything too stupid? Taking health advice from Rima Laibow and Albert Stubblebine!

[salvorhardin]

Did you know there's a huge international conspiracy by the European royalty and the Bankers (aka "the Jooos!") to control our food supplies? Well, thanks to the health lounge, Ret. Gen. Albert Stubblebine and his wife, quack Rima Laibow, you do now!

Stubblebine, if you don't remember who he is, wasted tax dollars funding "remote viewing" experiments for the military.

1. no, that money was well spent

it put SEVERAL cia employees' kids through college

3. Not to mention many sub-contractors' kids.

The Federation of American Scientists (FAS) website has a good summary of "Project Star Gate." Note how many different subcontractors they used at different times.

On a project for my own employer back in the 1990's, I worked with people from one of those companies, SAIC (Science Applications International Corporation). When I asked about Star Gate, they would either Deny All Knowledge or laugh and say: "Just another contract. Somebody put money on the table and we picked it up."

Also note how many govt. agencies tried to hang this stinking albatross around the necks of their competitors. Looks like CIA eventually got stuck with this steaming load because the defense bureaucracies were tired of dealing with the woos.

The FAS article shows that a number of red flags popped up throughout the history of the project:

The US program was sustained through the support of Sen. Claiborne Pell, D-R.I., and Rep. Charles Rose, D-N.C., who were convinced of the program's effectiveness.

Around DC, Claiborne Pell was known as "the Senator from Mars."

Remote viewing research began in 1972 at the Stanford Research Institute in Menlo Park, CA. This work was conducted by Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff, once with the NSA and at the time a Scientologist.

The BS Meters should have been breaking their needles. Leaving aside the El Ron connection, Targ and Puthoff are notorious for being PsYkiK Twue Bewievers posing as impartial experimenters. Even blatant frauds like Uri Geller and Ingo Swann duped them.

Though I'm not an expert, just reading about the "successes" of SRI gives me the impression that, in the world of psychic research, Targ and Puthoff are like two rubes waving handfuls of dollar bills as they walk around the county fair.

Notable successes were said to be "eight martini" results, so-called because the remote viewing data were so mind-boggling that everyone has to go out and drink eight martinis to recover.

That might explain a lot.

6. why eight?

[onager]

7. No, but Sevens WERE peer-reviewed...

2. I think that the correct spelling should be "Jooz"

It just seems funnier to me, for some reason.

And wasn't Rima a Jungle Girl?

[TZ]

4. Among those world controlling bank controlling groups

the JOOOOOS! spelling is considered the more kosher spelling...:P
And "Rima the Jungle Girl" eh? That there is some high class literature ..Borrowing comics from temeah are you?;-)

[Orrex]

5. If you must know...

I stumbled upon Rima's name while wiki-ing Apache Chief.


And I stand by my assertion that it should be spelled Jooz. I mean, what do Jooz know about comedy???
