March 8, 2002: Remote Viewing - Ed Dames

Art Bell welcomes Major Ed Dames, retired U.S. Army intelligence officer and creator of Technical Remote Viewing, for a wide-ranging discussion covering several remote viewing projects. Dames presents his team's findings on cattle mutilations, describing a scenario where the animals are lifted into a chamber, desanguinated while still alive, butchered, and dropped back. He interprets the phenomenon as a message about humanity's own treatment of animals, pointing to the deliberate placement of remains as a visual statement about butchery.

The conversation shifts to Planet X, where Dames stands by earlier remote viewing work suggesting a passing space body will cause catastrophic earth changes within the coming decades. He describes how every student's life trajectory in his classes began converging on the same outcome: being underground. Dames also addresses the mystery rash spreading across the country, attributing it to microbial toxins in a contaminated milk supply at a processing plant.

The episode covers Dames' assessment of Osama bin Laden's location in southwest Afghanistan, his team's analysis of a fossilized tooth from a Louisiana core sample, and a potential Al-Qaeda target. Art also discusses a puzzling X-ray beacon discovered at Jupiter's north pole by the Chandra Observatory.

Key Moments

  1. Mysterious Gigawatt X-Ray Beacon From Jupiter: Art reads from a NASA Marshall Space Flight Center release describing a perfectly regular 45-minute gigawatt X-ray pulse from a hot spot near Jupiter's north magnetic pole, with NASA scientists themselves invoking the language of beacons and ET signals.

  2. Bin Laden Located: 80% Probability Southwest Afghanistan: Ed Dames reminds Art that his team previously placed Osama bin Laden orchestrating 9/11 from a Kandahar bunker before Kandahar was a household name, and gives a fresh assessment with 80% probability bin Laden is alive and still in southwest Afghanistan, with a 20% chance he is in Tunisia or Algeria.

  3. Al-Qaeda's Next Target: Shasta Dam Power Plant: Dames says an Al-Qaeda cell still on the loose inside the U.S. mainland intended to crash a hijacked airliner into a West Coast nuclear plant on 9/11 but was grounded, and is now targeting the hydroelectric power plant beneath Shasta Dam in Redding, California using available explosives.

  4. What Remote Viewing Satan Felt Like: Crystalline And Cold: Pressed by Art on the most-emailed session of his career, Dames describes targeting Satan/Lucifer in the collective unconscious as encountering a crystalline, beautiful, intelligent thing that was uncompromisingly beautiful but utterly without emotion, refusing to attach the label evil.
