Thinking of posting more here, given that bsky doesn't nuke links to the publication I write & depend on for income. If you haven't read my stuff before, Getting Spooked is a newsletter about supernatural psyops & the intersection between the paranormal & the parapolitical: gettingspooked.com

The thorough Tanner F. Boyle @tannerfboyle.bsky.social once again demonstrates that the people who ask why the government would perpetuate UFO myths pretty much don't look for why the government perpetuates UFO myths. If they did, they'd find plenty of valid reasons.

At the very least, a conclusion is reached: Ufology is a no-lose scenario for the defense apparatus and the people who benefit from it being soldered onto the American psyche. Read more to find out why.

Enveloping disparate subsets of the fringe culture, we examine the intentionality of these developments, the various players involved, & the current UFO monoculture. Was "Cold War anthropology" redirected inward or are we dealing with irrational networks & power structures?

Today I present readers with 7 key examples of how the military-industrial complex benefits from playing the UFO game, luring a subculture loaded with religiosity into intel games & military reverence. It's Manifest(uf)o the third over on Getting Spooked: tannerfboyle.substack.com/p/manifestuf...

Given the theories put forth in my last article, a tip from @thenightshirt.bsky.social brings us back to MKUltra. Donald DeFreeze, leader of the SLA, was IDed by remote viewer Pat Price among many other headshots. Given DeFreeze and SRI's mutual CIA connections, was this laundered intel?

I try my best to draw in from multiple aspects of fringe culture! Feels like the sub-communities are relatively insular and don't look outside themselves, especially ufology.

I tend to think @tannerfboyle.bsky.social develops relevant perspectives on topics such as RV because he puts significant time in reviewing a wide range of related subject matter... which is to say I think Tanner's knowledge of the Gulf Breeze Six case, for instance, helps inform other areas.

Is remote viewing simply a cover story? An opsec sleight of hand laundering real intel sources like satellites & informants? Today, Getting Spooked examines the messy history of remote viewing, replete with Scientology & MKUltra connections, to find out. tannerfboyle.substack.com/p/remote-vie...

Remote Viewing as Intelligence Laundering

In Forbidden Science Dispatch #11, we examine remote viewing, its befuddling history, its ties to Scientology and MKUltra, and how its true intel value may remain occulted or obscured.
