The Stargate/Scannate scandal of 1995 shook the world of psychic research and government intelligence agencies alike. This scandal involved two separate but related programs – Stargate and Scannate – that were both allegedly involved in the use of psychic abilities for intelligence gathering purposes.
The Stargate program, operated by the CIA and later the Defense Intelligence Agency, was a top-secret project that focused on using remote viewing – the ability to see or gather information about a target without physically being present – for national security purposes. The program was established in the 1970s and continued until it was officially shut down in 1995.
On the other hand, the Scannate program was operated by the US Army and focused on using psychic abilities to scan and analyse potential threats or targets. The program was also shut down in 1995 amid allegations of unethical and illegal activities.
The scandal came to light when several former employees of both programs came forward with allegations of abuse, misuse of funds, and manipulation of data. They claimed that the programs had been used for purposes beyond their intended scope, including spying on American citizens, targeting political adversaries, and engaging in unethical and illegal activities.
As news of the scandal broke, the public and government officials were shocked and outraged by the revelations. Many called for investigations into the programs and for those responsible to be held accountable for their actions.
In the aftermath of the scandal, the government conducted multiple investigations and audits of the programs, leading to the closure of both Stargate and Scannate. Several employees and officials involved in the programs were also prosecuted and faced charges for their actions.
The Stargate/Scannate scandal of 1995 was a watershed moment in the field of psychic research and government intelligence programs. It exposed the dangers of unchecked power and the potential for abuse when dealing with sensitive and classified information. The scandal served as a stark reminder of the importance of transparency, accountability, and oversight in all government programs and operations.
