"Les espions-médiums de la CIA"
review by

Paris, France
The part of the show entitled "Les espions-médiums de la CIA" (the CIA psychic-spies) was a 45 minute segment based on the Autumn 1995 CIA report on CRV experiences. 2 video-reports, 3 interviews and 2 CRV experiences were produced alternatively.
The two video reports confirmed with concrete examples the reality of RV experiencing by the Soviet and then American intelligence communities. Most discovered people like Nina Kulagina, Karl Nikoliev, two psychics from the Soviet side, and Colonel John Alexander, Ed Dames, Harold Puthoff and Ingo Swann from the US side, as some practitioners of these experiences. The second video was a sort of complement to explain that a psychic was probably asked to locate Kadhafi's sojourn place before the bombing of his house by the US army. It was also said that "psychic spies" helped to discover North Korean intrusions in South Korea by tunnels under the borderline, and, in 1988, to locate General Noriega before his arrest. The 1995 CIA report on CRV was commented by Jeffrey Smith, journalist from the Washington post.
The 3 interviews focused on Ed May, physicist responsible for a part of the CRV research program, Larry Collins, writer, for his book "Dedalus" and its relations to American CRV, and Yaguel Didier, well known French psychic whose help was asked from time to time by the French police services. Ed May brought his expert witness to what was explained on US CRV programs. A very pleasant and constructive part of the show. He only regretted that the CIA report was limited to the results of the last year of an over twenty year research program.
The 2 concrete CRV experiences involved Nevin Lantz, an efficient American CRVer, and Mario Varvoglis, psychologist specializing in psi studies, as assistant. The first experience showed to the French what a CRV session generally is, what is a beacon, what are the viewer's task and reports and how the results may be evaluated. The target-site Nevin Lantz was proposed to remote-view was selected among 6 and concerned the funicular of Montmartre. The beacon was a French lady unknown to the viewer. Nevin saw and sketched very well, in front of the cameras, three to four things of the target site : two slopes, the funicular's cashier's office, two columns of the front side of the funicular access building and the turning movement of a merry-go-round situated close to the taget-site. But the viewer said he was made a little uneasy by the TV experience conditions. At the end of this first RV session, Nevin considered that he got medium results "not good, not bad". The second experience was proposed to be conducted "live" and for everyone to join in. The task consisted for Nevin Lantz and the public to guess which site was on a picture wrapped in an envelope. The people were instructed to call or fax their answers. The results were varied, from very far to encredibly close to the target.
In conclusion, it was a nice, informative show with excellent enlightenments and/or confirmations by the featured experts.
