Wiley will publish the memoir MATRIX INTELLIGENCE: Remote Viewing Cases from the World’s Premier Psychic Spy by Major Ed Dames in November 2010. A decorated military intelligence officer and former member of the controversial NSA-ARMY-sponsored Psychic Espionage Unit, Dames is the country’s foremost proponent of the psychic practice known as “remote viewing” -- an intelligence gathering technique whose practitioners can see events from a distance anywhere in time and space.
MATRIX INTELLIGENCE will take readers behind the scenes of Dames’ most fascinating and offbeat cases applying his unique detective skills to the most baffling military Black Ops in modern times, as well as tackling mysteries so unusual and gruesome, they could be ripped from the darkest recesses of our imaginations. MATRIX INTELLIGENCE will also explore the often traumatic past that helped shape his life, a life that led a self-described wild child from the backwoods of New Jersey into the company of presidents, princes and movie stars.
MATRIX INTELLIGENCE is co-authored by Joel Harry Newman, a former staff reporter/editor for the Los Angeles Herald Examiner and Adweek magazine and freelance contributor to such publications as the Los Angeles Times Magazine, Details, PDN, and The Hollywood Reporter. His screenwork includes story editor on such hit motion pictures as “John Carpenter's Vampires” “Arachnophobia” and “Hollowman.”

Baltimore Sun Finds First Earth Battalion Roots in Their Own Backyard.
Monday, 02 November 2009
The Baltimore Sun posted an article about "The Men Who Stare at Goats" mentioning the role Maryland played in the events that inspired the movie.The article is titled "Battle satire 'Men Who Stare at Goats' has a Maryland link. It's strange but true. Maryland played a role in the events that inspired the military satire 'Men Who Stare at Goats' " - Baltimore Sun, Micheal Sragow.
The Baltimore Sun writer Micheal Sragow explains to his readers how many of the exploits filmmakers ascribe to Channon's Troops actually happened at Fort Mead Maryland just a few miles from Baltimore. There was also a phone interview commentary with Jim Channon about the First Earth Battalion and his view on the impact of the movie.
It seems in the interview Micheal received a glimpse past the movie errors into the real world of a Warrior Monk.
Michael Sragow wrote in the closing of the article, Jim"believes that he saved lives in Vietnam by relying on hunter's skills
that could be considered psychic. And he feels ESP is "necessary" for
American successs in contemporary conflicts. "The secret of modern
warfare is, don't get into danger zones. You can't do that without
extended awareness."
So in the end, the entertaining farrago of make-believe and
scrambled history in "The Men Who Stare At Goats" doesn't faze Channon.
He compares his collision with Hollywood to "a 'meeting engagement.'
That's when two armies bump into each other and make a mess. The ones
that are quickest on their feet win. I've been quick in this case. So
far it has been an amazingly successful engagement."
Spoken like an honest-to-God, flesh-and-blood Jedi warrior."

New earth army press release

PRESS RELEASE: For Immediate Release
New Earth Army.com Offers True Story Behind George Clooney’s New Film, ‘The Men Who Stare at Goats’
Actor and movie producer George Clooney’s latest film, The Men Who
Stare at Goats, opens in theaters November 6. The dark comedy,
distributed by Overture, spins a far-fetched tale about military
experiments with remote viewing, psychedelics, staring at goats and
psychic soldiers. “More of this is truer than you imagine” the
filmmakers say.
In 2006, British journalist and political satirist Jon Ronson wrote the
international bestseller that provides the title and back-story to the
film. Ronson’s tongue-in-cheek account is classified as a work of
‘non-fiction,’ but it is so loaded with speculation and inaccuracy, it
sets the stage for much of the confusion.
The story and film focus heavily on the actual life work of (retired)
U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Jim Channon. (Actor Jeff Bridges
humorously portrays the flamboyant and charismatic Channon in his role
as Lieutenant Colonel Bill Django.)
Channon was a real combat commander in Vietnam who sought ways to make
war dramatically less violent. Inspired by the ideas of advanced human
performance and the human potential movement, he conceived of a new
prototypical military force called ‘The First Earth Battalion.’ Using
his skill as a strategic visionary artist, he introduced these
breakthrough ideas in an illustrated 150-page field manual entitled
Evolutionary Tactics published by the U.S. Army in 1978.
“The manual was designed to have the look and feel of the ‘Whole Earth
Catalogue’ which was popular at that time. It kick started a creativity
movement in the army,” says Channon. “Post Vietnam was a time when the
army needed a good dose of out-of-the-box thinking. Evolutionary
Tactics and the First Earth Battalion were tools designed to help
leaders imagine and develop extra-sensory modes of operation and more
humane ways to approach warfare.”
Channon believes that paranormal sensibilities possessed by soldiers
can increase survival rates on the modern and very complex battlefield.
“The goal is to create combatants with a more advanced understanding of
threats, allow for peaceful incursions into dangerous areas, and spare
the lives of soldiers and civilians alike, “ he explains.
Channon’s vision for the militaries of the world is far-reaching and it
includes the idea that they work in concert to address the
environmental stresses on the planet in a program he calls ‘Operation
Noble Steward.’
“We had a Marshall plan after WWII designed to rebuild Europe and
Japan, and today we need something along these lines to recover the
Earth’s biosphere,” says Channon. “I have been in the classroom with
the future generals of the planet from eleven nations discussing just
such a global operation.”
NewEarthArmy.com contains the complete story of the First Earth
Battalion with a detailed scope and history of Channon’s work. The site
also offers a downloadable version of Evolutionary Tactics and a
collection of First Earth Battalion and New Earth Army gear.

Army Lieutenant Colonel Channon, in his role as Bill Django.

The Men Who Stare at Goats
is a major motion picture opening in theaters November 6. The comedy

marriage fails, gets more than he bargains for when he meets a special
forces agent who reveals the existence of a secret, psychic military
unit whose goal is to end war as we know it. The founder of the unit
has gone missing and the trail leads to another psychic soldier who has
distorted the mission to serve his own ends
The book and TV series examines connections between paranormal military programs and psychological techniques being used for interrogation in the War on Terror.
The book also traces the evolution of these covert activities over the past
three decades, and sees how they are alive today within US Homeland
Security and post-war Iraq. Why have 100
de-bleated goats been secretly placed inside the Special Forces command
center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina? The book and documentary explains all the movie is based on in this true life history of our military.
The movie looks at the funny human side of our marvelous determination, it will indeed be hilarious.
Enjoy the comical story protrayed as entertainment comming out in the movies Nov 6th.
