PSI Spies: The True Story of America's Psychic Warfare Program
“In PSI Spies , Jim Marrs has provided the original report on the U.S. Army’s use of psychic remote viewing as an intelligence tool.” —Whitley Strieber
Learn the Truth About Our Military’s Psychic Soldiers
PSI Spies takes you behind the scenes of the U.S. Army’s formerly top-secret remote viewing unit to see how the military has used this psychic ability as a tool and a weapon. Even though remote viewing was developed by various tax-supported government agencies, including the CIA, most Americans have never heard of this faculty.
In the 1970s, with the support of Congress, the Army formed a small unit of remote viewers to spy for America. These soldiers/psychic spies gained penetrating knowledge about a wide variety of subjects. They were consulted to stop a Soviet plot to kill President Ronald Reagan. They mentally prowled the halls of the Kremlin. They probed Iraq’s hidden weapons sites in preparation for the 1991 Gulf War.
From insights into our future to the continuing mysteries of UFOs and crop circles, no subject has been immune to the military remote viewers—America’s Psi Spies. And now, in this book, you can also find tips on how to remote view on your own.

Jim Marrs is a cottage industry when it comes to conspiracy writings.
He has dealt with the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He has explored the behind-the-scenes histories and tinkerings of secret societies in their collective bid to control the fate of the planet. He has even given one fine comprehensive examination to the entire UFO phenomenon that will probably go unmatched in the history of UFO books.
In PSI SPIES, he deals with exposing the United States government's covert use of psychic powers (largely remote viewing) in the exploration of handling foreign affairs. While it's not a truly great book (I thought it lacked some of the depth of his other tomes, and that's largely due to the scraps of true facts and research available on the subject), it is still one fine piece of investigative journalism.
It's an important read if for no other reason for the reader to understand -- through the eyes of one of the book's principals -- to what extend a government is willing to reach ... and then attempt everything possible to cover it up in the end.
Incidentally, the book probably would've been far more in depth had the US Government not gone to attempting to keep it unpublished. Marrs has a way of tilting the scales in the direction of truth, so much so that he disturbs those secretly in power, and his books do rattle you to the bones in several places.
A must-read for conspiracy fans. A must-read for fans of the occult, in fact. And, a must-read for any person seriously interested in knowing the tentacles which clandestine operations try to grasp control of our very lives.

If you are interested in odd mind altering experiences then this is the book for you. A fascinating look at spying psychic style where kgb and cia operatives seek each other out on the astral plane. It is amazing to think how much money and manpower was poured into this kind of intelligence gathering technique. Ultimately the remote viewing spies were scrapped, whether they were effective or not is a matter of debate. Still, a well researched and presented book on an interesting subject.

Fascinating! Jim Marrs' work is always so well supported that his books become a cavalcade of information that leaves you reeling in the end going "woah" without feeling like you've been had or fed a bunch of crap. A definite must-read for skeptics and non-skeptics alike.

Good introduction to remote viewing. Well researched. Makes me very interested to read more on the topic and related topics; especially about what else the American government has been up to behind closed doors.

A very interesting study of attempts to tap little-understood information techniques

That is a really interesting book, it narrates most of the history of the remote viewers and gives a lot of examples of their research. The spying on the Soviets and especially the interactions with Aliens are exciting. So it is a great read, the book is well-written and the material is great.

The information overall was interesting but it became a chore to read about 3/4s through the book.

This book is as interesting as it is boring. There is simply too much information; with that of extreme interest being equally mixed with that of the mundane. I read a fictious account of remove viewing when I was a teenager that peaked my curiosity on this subject matter. While I do believe that it is possible to remote view, I am not positive that these subjects actually remote viewed life on other planets; although with all of the planets in all of the galazies in the universe it only makes sense that there is intelligent life on another planet. I simply would have preferred keeping to the things that could be verified

January 4, 2010Gods helps me I never wanted to get in bed with Jim Marrs. The guy is a Christian Nut! But still, his name keeps coming up, so I suppose I'll try reading him before I form my opinion any farther against him...

The most important part of this and pretty much any Remote Viewing book: you will not learn how to Remote View from these books.

Väga hea raamat inimestele, kes ei pelga lugeda midagi, millest nad esmapilgul midagi aru ei saa, kuid mis on lihtsalt nii kaasahaarav ja põnev, et raamatut on raske käest ära panna!

I thought the Psi spies reveals a-lot about the government. This book provides shocking evidence and personal anecdotes, showing how the military was desperate to keep a nation safe
August 10, 2014
A good and brief overview of the recent history of remote viewing, PSI Spies is a great starting point for anyone interested in the history of remote viewing.

It was a long time ago that I read this, but I remember likeing it, and also thinking that Marrs has it out for Ingo Swann. I should re-read it soon
