The [[Agranat Commission]] was a commission appointed by the [[Israel|Israeli]] prime minister in 1974 to investigate the intelligence failures of the 1973 war, where [[Israel]] was surprised by the [[Syria|Syrian]]-[[Egypt|Egyptian]] attack on [[Yom Kippur]].[^1]
|

|
||||
Several important recommendations from the commission's secret report were implemented immediately. One key recommendation converted [[Israeli Military Intelligence]] into the senior intelligence agency, granting it more powers than [[Mossad]]. As a result, the National Assessment of the immediate security situation became solely the responsibility of the director of [[Israeli Military Intelligence]].[^1]

[[China]] is a country in East Asia. During the Cold War, it was a significant player in global geopolitics, often viewed as a rival or potential ally by both the [[United States]] and the [[Soviet Union]].[^1]
|
||||
## Nuclear Program
|
||||
China's nuclear program was a subject of intense interest for U.S. intelligence. In the late summer of 1979, [[Mel Riley]] and [[Joe McMoneagle]], remote viewers from the [[STARGATE PROJECT|Grill Flame]] program, successfully remote-viewed a new Chinese nuclear device at Lop Nor. Their descriptions, including an unusual hourglass-shaped design element, were later confirmed by U.S. weapons analysts, demonstrating the efficacy of remote viewing in intelligence gathering.[^1]
|
||||
|
||||
## Diplomatic Relations
|
||||
President [[Richard Nixon]]'s historic visit to China in 1972 marked a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy, opening relations between the two countries. However, intelligence concerns persisted. For example, the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] investigated the Chinese Embassy in a foreign capital, suspecting its basement communications office, and later tasked [[Pat Price]] to remote-view a Chinese consular building in Rome.[^1]

By March 1981, the [[Iran-Israel Joint Committee]] had established mechanisms for handling secret arms sales to [[Iran]], as promised in the October [[Paris meeting]]. [[Israel]] operated under a general agreement of cooperation secretly reached in principle between [[Menachem Begin 1|Prime Minister Begin]] and [[William Casey]] in August 1980. [[David Kimche]] dealt directly with [[Robert Gates]] on the implementation of these sales. In early 1981, [[Robert Gates|Gates]] approved the sale of unsophisticated weapons to [[Iran]].[^1]

|
||||
|
||||
The [[Iran-Israel Joint Committee]] became self-sufficient, with its operating budget derived from the profits of arms sales, overseen by the [[Mossad]] comptroller. Profits rapidly grew into a huge extra-budgetary slush fund. Disbursements were requested from the [[Mossad]] comptroller through either the heads of the intelligence community or directly from the [[Prime Minister's Office]].[^1]
|
||||
|
||||
The committee used various trading companies and a flagship holding company called [[Ora Group|Ora]] to manage the slush fund. It also employed smokescreen operations involving private arms brokers like [[John Hortrich]] (alias [[John de Laroque]]) and [[Nicholas Davies]] to obscure its activities. The committee's operations included the sale of [[TOW missile]]s, [[T-80 tank]]s, and other military equipment to [[Iran]].[^1]
|
||||
|
||||
From March 1981 to the end of 1987, [[Iran]] spent over $82 billion on equipment from the [[USA|United States]], [[Israel]], [[Europe]], [[South America]], and [[South Africa]], with the [[Iran-Israel Joint Committee]] making substantial profits. These profits were used to finance activities of [[Yitzhak Shamir|Yitzhak Shamir's]] faction of the [[Likud Party]], fund "black" operations (including those involving [[Mohammed Radi Abdullah]] and the [[Achille Lauro]] attack), and finance housing projects in the [[West Bank]] and [[Gaza Strip]] for Jewish settlers.[^1]

In 1984, political chaos in [[Israel]] led to a coalition government between the [[Labor Party]] and [[Likud Party|Likud]]. [[Shimon Peres]], as prime minister, attempted to open a competing arms channel to [[Iran]] through [[Amiram Nir]], which led to the [[Iran-Contra Affair]] scandal. The [[Iran-Israel Joint Committee]] actively worked to thwart this second channel, including leaking information about [[Jonathan Pollard]] and the [[Oliver North|North]]-[[Amiram Nir|Nir]] operation.[^1]
|
||||
|
||||
In September 1987, [[Ari Ben-Menashe]] and three other members of the [[Iran-Israel Joint Committee]] were dismissed due to pressure on [[Yitzhak Shamir]] following the leaking of the [[Iran-Contra Affair]] story. Prior to this, some funds were set aside for their futures, and the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] money controlled by [[Israel]] was transferred to the [[East Bloc]].[^1]

### PROMIS Software Operation
|
||||
|
||||
According to Gordon Thomas's account in *Gideon's Spies* (1999), drawing on Israeli intelligence sources, LAKAM's director [[Rafael Eitan]] personally arranged to obtain a copy of the [[PROMIS]] software from the [[Department of Justice|U.S. Department of Justice]] through back-channel contacts in the early 1980s. Eitan reportedly met with [[INSLAW]] founder [[Bill Hamilton]] while posing as a representative of the Israeli Ministry of Justice interested in PROMIS as a case management tool. After obtaining the software, Eitan assembled a team of former LAKAM programmers who reconstructed PROMIS and embedded a surveillance trapdoor — described as a $5,000 microchip — that allowed covert remote monitoring of database queries made by any user of the modified software. Eitan's reported statement on receiving PROMIS was: "We can use that program...it could be the most important intelligence tool that Israel has ever had."[^3]
|
||||
|
||||
The modified software was then distributed internationally for use by foreign law enforcement and intelligence agencies, channeled through [[Robert Maxwell]] and his Israeli computer company [[Degem]]. Total sales through this network were alleged to exceed $500 million. The [[Nicholas J. Bua|Bua Report]] (1993) found no credible evidence to support any of these allegations, concluding that only public-domain versions of PROMIS had ever been distributed to foreign entities.[^4]
|
||||
|
||||
LAKAM was formally dissolved following the 1985 exposure of the [[Jonathan Pollard]] espionage case, after which its functions were redistributed to other Israeli intelligence services. Eitan, who had also run Pollard as an asset, left Israeli government service.[^2]

This brought to power a government that was even more committed than Labor to the [[Samson Option]] and the necessity of an Israeli nuclear arsenal. The Likud Party, led by [[Menachem Begin]], represented a populist-nationalist view of a greater [[Israel]] with a right to permanent control of the [[West Bank]].[^1]

Mapai (Israel Workers') Party was the dominant political party in [[Israel]] for many years. Its political control under [[David Ben-Gurion]] was total, akin to that of a Mafia don. Ben-Gurion's influence ensured that the government left behind after his retirement in late 1953 was of his own creation, with his jointly held positions of prime minister and defense minister being separated and filled by his chosen successors, [[Moshe Sharett]] and [[Pinhas Lavon]].[^1]

The Metropolitan Police (Met), also known as Scotland Yard, was the police force for London and the primary investigative body in multiple child abuse and trafficking cases documented across the network. The Metropolitan Police raided the [[Elm Guest House]] in June 1982 after the suburban terrace townhouse was suspected of operating an illegal brothel. After the premises were raided, 23 men were detained among bedroom suites containing whips, chains, and ropes, and communal areas including a lounge bar, spa, sauna facility, and screening room for pornography. According to police sources, three of the guests were parliamentary ministers and a fourth was a member of the Queen's royal staff. Scotland Yard was expected to reopen files on the murder of one boy and the disappearance of another in connection with the investigation, but a Scotland Yard official described it as a routine investigation into a brothel. A source close to the investigation stated that top brass had ordered everything to be played down and that every attempt was being made to ensure the names of VIPs did not leak out.[^1]

[[Mossad]] is the national intelligence agency of [[Israel]]. Its relationship with the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] was extensive, involving 28 formal cooperative ventures in strategic intelligence since the 1950s. Many of these arrangements were financed off-the-books through a special contingency fund maintained by the Director of Central Intelligence. One such operation, code-named KK MOUNTAIN, provided millions in annual cash payments to Mossad, in return for which Mossad agents acted as American surrogates in North Africa and other regions. Other agreements financed Israeli operations in [[Syria]] and the [[Soviet Union]], where the CIA found it difficult to operate.[^2]
|
||||
|
||||
In 1977, [[Stansfield Turner]], then Director of Central Intelligence, abruptly cut back intelligence liaison with [[Israel]], leading to a sharp reduction in the flow of intelligence from [[Israel]] to [[Washington D.C.]]. However, the CIA's "embarrassingly inept reporting on [[Iran]]", particularly their failure to anticipate the overthrow of Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, forced the American leadership to turn back to Israeli help in anticipating world events. This contributed to the March 1979 [[KH-11]] agreement, which granted [[Israel]] access to high-tech satellite imagery.[^2]

[[Nazi Germany]] is the common English name for [[Germany]] between 1933 and 1945, when Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party controlled the country. During this period, the Nazi regime was responsible for the Holocaust and was a major belligerent in World War II.[^1]
|
||||
|
||||
In the context of psychic research, Nazi Germany had a complex and often contradictory relationship with the paranormal. While the regime officially banned occult practices, figures like [[Heinrich Himmler]] were deeply interested in the supernatural and established organizations like the [[Ahnenerbe]] to research and exploit such phenomena for political and military purposes. The capture of Ahnenerbe documents by the Allies after the war is believed to have influenced the development of psychic research programs in both the [[United States]] and the [[Soviet Union]].[^1]

The [[Royal Canadian Mounted Police|RCMP]] is [[Canada]]'s national police force, which became significantly involved in the investigation of the [[PROMIS Software Scandal]]. In February 2000, [[Sean McDade]], an [[Royal Canadian Mounted Police|RCMP]] national security investigator, secretly entered the [[United States]] to investigate evidence that the [[Canadian Government]] was using a modified version of the [[PROMIS]] computer software, which purportedly allowed the [[United States Government|U.S.]] to eavesdrop on [[Canada|Canadian]] intelligence secrets through a "back-door." His investigation was code-named Project Abbreviation, and his email handle, "simorp," was [[PROMIS]] spelled backward.[1]

|

|

The [[Royal Canadian Mounted Police|RCMP]] probe, code-named Project Abbreviation, was authorized at the highest levels of the organization and was well-funded. The investigation was prompted by the discovery of an invoice for the purchase of [[PROMIS]] from Strategic Software Planning in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which contradicted earlier denials by [[Canada|Canadian]] authorities regarding the Hamiltons' claims about the pirated software. [[Sean McDade]]'s investigation reportedly traced banking transactions that supported the claim that high-ranking [[Canadian Government|Canadian]] officials might have unlawfully purchased the software from officials in the [[Ronald Reagan|Reagan]]-[[George Bush|Bush]] administration.[1]

During his investigation, [[Sean McDade]] learned that a meeting had taken place in December 1999 at the [[Los Alamos National Laboratory|Los Alamos facility]] in [[New Mexico]], attended by intelligence heads from the [[United States|U.S.]] ([[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]), [[United Kingdom|Britain]] ([[MI6]]), [[Israel]] ([[Mossad]]), and [[Canadian Security Intelligence Service|CSIS]]. The discussion, labeled "Unique Elements," touched upon questions related to Y2K computer problems and a glitch in the British computer system. A source suggested that all four allied countries shared the same computer system, possibly [[PROMIS]], due to its mutual integration capabilities. Furthermore, [[Sean McDade]] was informed that the [[Mossad]] might have modified the [[PROMIS]] software to create a "two-way" backdoor, potentially granting [[Israel]] access to top [[United States|U.S.]] weapons secrets at [[Los Alamos National Laboratory|Los Alamos]] and other installations.[1]

The [[Royal Canadian Mounted Police|RCMP]] investigation, with assistance from Detective [[Sue Todd]] of Hercules, California, revealed that [[United States|U.S.]] investigators who had previously probed the [[PROMIS]] affair faced significant obstruction from the [[United States Department of Justice|Justice Department]]. Many were fired, suspended, or resigned when their inquiries into drugs and money laundering reached high-level connections. The text highlights that [[Royal Canadian Mounted Police|RCMP]] investigators, among others, still feared punitive action for coming forward, even if they were no longer in the public sector.[1]

In 1987, the [[Iran-Israel Joint Committee]] redirected funds from the Lubavitcher yeshivahs to the Shas yeshivahs, as the committee and [[Menachem Schneerson|Schneerson]] parted ways. The [[Likud Party]] considered the support of [[Ovadia Yousef]], an Iraqi-Jewish rabbi who controlled Shas, essential due to his large following in [[Israel]]'s Middle Eastern Jewish communities.[^1]

|

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), commonly known as the Soviet Union, was a socialist state in Eurasia that existed from 1922 to 1991. During the Cold War, the [[Soviet Union]] was a primary geopolitical rival of the United States, leading to an arms race that extended into unconventional areas, including psychic research.[^1]
|
||||
|
||||
### Psi Research and the "Psi Gap"
|
||||
|
||||
Reports and rumors of extensive Soviet psi research, particularly after the fabricated "[[The Nautilus]]" story in 1960, spurred significant concern within the U.S. intelligence community. Figures like [[Leonid Vasiliev]] and Eduard Naumov were prominent in Soviet parapsychology, conducting experiments in telepathy and remote influencing.[^1]
|
||||
|
||||
U.S. intelligence agencies, including the [[Defense Intelligence Agency|DIA]], expressed concerns about a potential "psi gap," fearing that Soviet advancements in this field could enable them to access top-secret U.S. documents, influence leaders, or disable military military equipment remotely.[^1]
|
||||
|
||||
#### Targets of U.S. Remote Viewing
|
||||
|
||||
The Soviet Union and its military installations were frequent targets for U.S. remote viewing programs, including the [[STARGATE PROJECT|Grill Flame]] unit. Notable successes included [[Joe McMoneagle]]'s remote viewing of a Soviet Typhoon-class submarine under construction and a Soviet surveillance bug in a U.S. embassy.[^1]
|
||||
|
||||
### Historical Events
|
||||
|
||||
In December 1979, the Soviet Union invaded [[Afghanistan]], making [[Pakistan]] a key strategic priority for the [[United States]].[^2]

The [[U.S. Embassy in Moscow]] was the diplomatic mission of the [[United States]] to the [[Soviet Union]] (and later [[Russia]]). It became a focal point of Cold War espionage and a significant location in the history of U.S. government investigations into psychic phenomena and electromagnetic warfare.[^1]
|
||||
|
||||
From 1956 to 1976, the embassy was subjected to the [[Moscow Signal]], a microwave beam directed at its upper floors by the Soviets. U.S. intelligence suspected this was an electromagnetic weapon designed to influence or degrade the health and behavior of embassy personnel. This led to classified U.S. research programs like [[Project Pandora]] to study and counter its effects. Embassy employees experienced various non-specific symptoms, including headaches, inability to concentrate, and fatigue, and later, some died of cancer, raising concerns about the long-term health impacts of the signal.[^1]

In the early 1980s, the construction of a new U.S. Embassy building in Moscow became another intelligence concern. The [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] received intelligence that the new embassy had been bugged at its core, with sensors embedded deep inside the structural framing materials. [[Joe McMoneagle]], a remote viewer from the [[STARGATE PROJECT|Stargate Project]], accurately remote-viewed the building, perceiving it to be riddled with thousands of bugs and metallic decoys, including girders welded into antennas. This was later confirmed by a CIA/[[NSA]] investigation, revealing a massive Soviet eavesdropping and surveillance program.[^1]
