Thomas Drake Case Shines Light on Secret NSA ESPionage

US Justice Department Case may damage national security far more than former senior NSA official Thomas Drake, who has been indicted under the espionage act for his whistle-blowing.
(STARpod.org/PsycheLeaks)-- NSA -- the US National Security Agency -- has been playing mind games.
So says a source to Gus Russo, investigative author, and now -- with the confirmed revelation of Thomas Drake's relationship to UK psychic Chris Robinson -- new questions about NSA's secret activities have emerged.
In 2010, Thomas Drake, a former senior NSA official, was indicted under the Espionage Act over his whistle-blowing activities allegedly involving illegal handling of classified materials.
When Justice indicted Drake, effectively outing him to the public, Robinson, a citizen of the United Kingdom, learned that the man he had worked with for seven years to spy on intelligence targets was a senior NSA official with Signals Intelligence.
To understand the potential significance of Drake's involvement with Robinson -- a self-proclaimed 'psychic' who has worked with various law enforcement and intelligence services in the United States and Britain -- I reviewed thousands of pages of STAR GATE documents -- files released by the CIA in 2004 -- including scientific reports commissioned by the United States Government.

At the CIA website, an article about UFOs, allegedly the result of interest generated through former Director of Intelligence James R. Woolsey, claims that "the NSA studies parapsychology, that branch of psychology that deals with the investigation of such psychic phenomena as clairvoyance, extrasensory perception, and telepathy."
According to the files I reviewed, various three-letter agencies, including the CIA and the DIA, as well as military services, spent years searching for a new kind of signal intelligence: a transmission medium based on unknown fields invisible to electromagnetic detection.
The alleged 'subtle fields' involved, according to the records, had been of great interest to scientists in the Former Soviet Union, and elsewhere, and were alleged to explain the 'phenomenology problem' -- unexplainable glitches in real-world physics -- including mind to mind interactions and unexplained manipulations of physical materials.
CIA withheld the release of thousands of pages in the STAR GATE files, and made numerous redactions related to foreign developments and researchers.
One of the key goals, according to reports of the Defense Intelligence Agency, was to determine the causal mechanism, or new field effects, behind the alleged 'mental radio' many believed must exist based upon the anomalous data.
Dr. Paul Werbos, a Director at the National Science Foundation, who recently won the Hebb Award from the International Neural Network Society (INNS), explained the problem to an expert audience in Japan in 1999.
"Many people at this conference have expressed hope that quantum mechanics [the most fundamental theory in science] might explain things like remote viewing [psychic perception] or like the collective unconscious of Jung -- wild, crazy things. I would like to point out that no form of quantum mechanics can explain something like remote viewing...The world has spent billions of dollars trying to use QED [quantum electrodynamic fields] to see things far away. We cannot do it. So if you want to explain strange things like remote viewing, the only way is by assuming strange force fields and strange signal processing."
Gus Russo's source had claimed that intelligence officials had secretly moved former "remote viewing" programs, such as STAR GATE, deep into the black budget compartmentalized heart of the NSA at Fort Meade.
Perhaps Drake's seven-year-long working relationship with the UK psychic Robinson -- who had been unaware of Drake's NSA employer in the Signals Intelligence Directorate the entire time they worked together -- had turned into a national security issue when Drake began his whistleblowing activities by covertly contacting a reporter at the Baltimore Sun.
Was Drake's overt relationship with Robinson an outer manifestation of an inner covert outreach by the (CIA confirmed) NSA secret paranormal research program?
Robinson wasn't the only one claiming to have been contacted by persons with known intelligence connections.
In London, roughly a month after 9/11, author Jon Ronson pressed internationally famous psychic Uri Geller, who was used by the CIA, according to STAR GATE files, to name his intelligence contact.
Gelller relented, and told Ronson the man who had reactivated his services was called "Ron," now widely believed to be Dr. Ronald S. Pandolfi, who was reported by The New York Times to be a senior CIA scientific analyst.
Were intelligence services actively behind the alleged recruitment of psychic talent for their research effort to find new kinds of field effects in the race to obtain advanced technologies?
In October 2006, I was contacted via Hushmail with an offer to go down the 'rabbit hole' into Wonderland.
And one of my key sources, Caryn Anscomb, a British citizen who had travelled to the US to investigate claims by former intelligence officers, had been accused of working for MI6, the British Secret Intelligence Service.
Although it remains impossible to connect all of the dots, one point made by Ron Pandolfi stands out in my mind:
"Methods are more important than sources."
