The Most Interesting Man in the World

Joe McMoneagle went to Mars

If you’ve got six hours to spare, I’ve got a fascinating interview for you to watch. Yes, it’s six hours. Why anybody agrees to sit for that long outside of a congressional committee hearing I do not know, but I’m telling you, this dude’s testimony is more interesting than anything you’re likely to get from Congress. His name is Joe McMoneagle and he is almost certainly the most powerful psychic ever in the employ of the United States Defense Department.

I had planned on watching the interview, conducted by Shawn Ryan for his YouTube channel, over the course of four or five days. Instead, I ended up watching the first hour or so a couple days ago and then the rest last night.

All of McMoneagle’s stories are unbelievable and anybody would be wise to disbelieve them. The problem is, his claims are well-documented and much of his work for the DoD and assorted intelligence agencies is now declassified. Further, McMoneagle has been public with these claims for decades and, to my knowledge, none have ever been disproven.

I should point out that, while his successes have never been disproven, many of his predictions for the future did not materialize. Further, McMoneagle does not claim he nor or any other psychic has a perfect hit rate, though McMoneagle’s appears to be way above average.

Contrary to the popular image of psychics, McMoneagle is a gruff old Army chief warrant officer who spent much of his military career in intelligence during the Vietnam War, later becoming involved with the program eventually known as Project Stargate. The goal of Project Stargate was to identify talented remote viewers for intelligence work. Remote viewing, according to this 1995 Washington Post profile, is “the act of describing or drawing details about a place, person or thing without having any prior knowledge of that place, person or thing.

Now seventy-eight, McMoneagle is retired from remote viewing, but serves as an instructor of remote viewing at The Monroe Institute, where he was sent by the Army to receive advanced training in the subject. The founder, Robert Monroe, was an interesting cat in his own right; he worked on developing techniques for creating conscious out-of-body experiences (astral projection), creating a system of “binaural sounds,” which synchronized the actions of the brain’s dual hemispheres for the purpose of enhancing brain function. This year, the Monroe Institute will celebrate its fiftieth anniversary.

A few of the famous McMoneagle hits:

• Discovering the location of Brigadier General James Dozier after he was kidnapped by the Red Brigade in 1981.

• Finding lost Scud missiles during the Persian Gulf War.

• Predicting where the bulk of Skylab would impact when it fell to Earth in 1979.

• Pinpointing the location of a downed Russian jetliner that had gone missing over Africa, a finding which was announced to the press corps by President Jimmy Carter, who gave full credit to the psychics in the government’s employ.

After leaving the Army, McMoneagle, with his wife, co-founded a private remote viewing company called Intuitive Intelligence Applications, which he ran for thirty-three years, attracting corporate and governmental clients. He has been the subject of intense study by multiple intelligence and academic institutions, and is the author of several books on the subject of remote viewing.

According to McMoneagle, psychic abilities arose early in human history, and may be responsible for humanity’s success in outcompeting its rivals. These abilities, he says, compensated for humanity’s lack of protective physical attributes such as claws or sharp teeth. These abilities, he says, predate language, but were greatly diminished when small groups of humans began banding together in ever larger tribes. Over the course of thousands of years, language and other symbolic communication dampened the use of our natural psychic abilities until, eventually, they faded away entirely for most people, only appearing in moments of high stress or danger.

McMoneagle also believes that humanity is an engineered species, calling humanity “the only true alien on Earth.” How much of this is true I have no idea, but it certainly makes for interesting viewing. If one accepts the veracity of McMoneagle’s claims, which I do having seen enough evidence, one has to at least take seriously the target he was given to view by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

It's worth reiterating that remote viewers are not told what they will be viewing. Nor does anybody in their presence have any idea what the remote viewer is tasked with targeting. With McMoneagle, a target was written on a piece of paper. The paper was double-sealed in a manila envelope which may have a letter A on it, for example, referring to Target A. The envelope is then delivered to a shielded, windowless room, where McMoneagle waits. In other words, nobody knows the target other than the person who wrote it down.

For this target, McMoneagle viewed a series of enormous pyramids. The pyramids were clad, I believe in white, and contained “really large rooms inside,” which, he says, are impossible to create with ancient pyramid building methods because the weight of the pyramid would force a collapse. He also sensed people. “I’m getting humans, just like we are,” he told Ryan, “but I’m not so sure they’re humans the way we understand humans.”

Afterwards, he learned where he was targeted: Mars, 1,000,000 BC. Why would JPL call on a remote viewer unless they believed the subject had validity? Is what he saw real? Again, I have no idea. McMoneagle certainly doesn’t claim a perfect hit rate, but he seems convinced that the Mars targeting he did was accurate.

After I finished watching the interview, I went to the Monroe Institute homepage and signed up for their weeklong Remote Viewing I class in July. One has to be accepted into the program and I don’t know if I will be. If so, I will keep everybody updated. Or, if you don’t want to wait, you can just remote view me to see how it went.
