The US responded in kind with it's own 'Project Stargate', amongst other programs, and this was before the year 2000.
Makes you wonder what operations might be occurring at present.
It's interesting to consider that the Soviet Union would take up such operations given their ideological stance; yet there was definitely clues alluding to this being the case.
Yet, at the same time, that could definitely be a possibility, or at least to a certain degree.
That being said, Remote Viewing has been proven to work on numerous occasions, it's the just the accuracy that remains in question depending on the Remote Viewer's ability.
In an AMA on ATS, Michael Aquino claimed remote viewing was bullshit so it's probably pretty accurate lol
Lol, that's a good one.
