@ -51,6 +51,8 @@ Stubblebine received his first Grill Flame briefing as incoming commander of INS
At the briefing of June 30, 1981, attended by Brigadier General Flynn, Colonel Weinstein, Colonel White, and the two project managers, "MG Stubblebine instructed us to ensure that there were no legal problems concerning our joint contractual effort with DIA, especially to be watchful of mixing OM&A and R&D monies," and, reviewing the customer evaluations, "expressed the thought that the evaluations were a clear indication that we were on to something and that work in this area had to continue."[^2]
On September 27, 1982, four days before the cut, he heard the full Grill Flame briefing at building 2561, "well over an hour" of it on the project book and two unevaluated cases; "he was unaware of the problems we had had in getting information from Europe, concerning [[James Dozier|Dozier]]." Coming from a visit to Lieutenant General [[Lincoln D. Faurer|Faurer]] of the [[National Security Agency|NSA]], he dismissed one option for housing the unit as soon as it was clear it had no spaces or money of its own, and "before I could finish, MG Stubblebine selected SSD, 902D as the organization to which the project would go. As I tried to continue with other options, MG Stubblebine then indicated I must not have heard him for he had already made his decision." His guidance included "Get out of the briefing mode!" The assistant chief of staff for intelligence wrote to him in April 1983 that "I applaud your efforts to establish a Special Access Program," and that INSCOM should present itself as engaged in "a similar, cooperative effort of its own initiative" rather than the former joint program. In 1983 he briefed the Army Science Board, the under secretary [[James Ambrose]], and the Secretary of the Army, [[John Marsh]], himself. On August 26, 1983, after Buzby, Atwater, and McMoneagle briefed him on the project and the [[Monroe Institute]], "the CG started to relate some of his experiences and personal thoughts in the field of parapsychology," and "directed me to expand the program with quality people, develop a screening program to identify qualified people for the project; and employ advance techniques for intelligence collection." His chief of staff asked whether the project was receiving information from Lieutenant Colonel John B. Alexander and was told that Alexander's involvement "was entirely overt and that we neither had nor wanted any contact with him." On January 6, 1984, he asked to be kept informed of the "Los Alamos Project," "as it was his initiative," and agreed not to fund a new Monroe Institute proposal. On March 13, 1984, the director of the Army staff cancelled RAPT, the Hemi-Sync screening course, and on July 13 his successor, [[Harry Soyster]], decided to discontinue Center Lane.[^3]
### Post-Military Career
After retirement, Stubblebine became involved in alternative health movements and supplement businesses. He married psychiatrist Rima Laibow, and the two became prominent voices in alternative medicine and health freedom advocacy, including campaigns against mandatory vaccination and opposition to pharmaceutical industry regulation. This later career was distant in character from his military intelligence background but reflected a consistent pattern of skepticism toward mainstream institutional authority.
