Psychic Warrior: The True Story of America's Foremost Psychic Spy and the Cover-Up of the CIA's Top-Secret Stargate Program [Mass Market Paperback]

David Morehouse (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 15, 1998

Unwittingly plunged into a paranormal nightmare...

David Morehouse-A highly decorated, exemplary Army officer, special operations infantryman, and elite Airborne Ranger Company Commander. Wounded by machine-gun fire during a training mission, Morehouse began to have inexplicable visions and haunting nighmares-an experience that would redirect his military career and land him in the government's top-secret Stargate Program. His life would never be the same...

Stargate-For nearly two decades, the United States military intelligence community delved into the dark world of psychic espionage, recruiting a team of psychic spies to serve as "remote viewers," individuals who used their paranormal gifts to transcend time and space and uncover the highly guarded military secrets of other nations.

Unable to tell the shocking truth for fear of death-until now...

When David Morehouse walked through the doors of the Stargate Program, he had little idea what awaited him: a paranormal hell that would bring him to the front lines of some of the most horrific disasters in recent history-and nearly destroy him. In chilling detail, Morehouse describes his psychic espionage work as a remote viewer, from the shattering explosion of Pan Am Flight 103 to the choking smoke of Desert Storm, even further back in time to Hiroshima and the darkest days of Nazi Germany. And more startling yet is his account of the U.S. government, an organization bent on the destructive use of psychic powers-and on stopping the one man who was brave enough to blow the lid off their top-secret Stargate Program.

From Publishers Weekly

About a year ago, the media reported that the Pentagon had been training and using psychic spies, operatives who garnered information through "remote viewing." According to Morehouse, the media reports arose from a disinformation campaign conducted by the CIA in cooperation with the Defense Intelligence Agency. Here, Morehouse, a former highly decorated army officer?and psychic spy in the Star Gate program?purports to tell the real story and his role in it. Morehouse, we learn, became a psychic literally by accident. He was serving with the infantry in Jordan when he was knocked out by a stray bullet that hit his helmet; afterward, he saw strange visions and experienced out-of-body episodes. Instead of recommending psychiatric treatment, the army placed Morehouse in a top secret program in which agents psychically travel to far-flung sites to "view" prisons, airplane-crash locations and the like. Morehouse's descriptions of his psychic trips are the strength of this book. Most combine mystery and suspense so skillfully that he makes perfectly believable the notion that he "visited" a friend who had been killed in an air crash. But some of his "trips," such as the time-warp call at the burial site of the lost Ark of the Covenant, seem less authentic, though they're equally entertaining. For all the detail in his recounting of his remote-viewing incidents, Morehouse's narrative leaves gaps and unanswered questions, including exactly how the viewing process works, and the Star Gate program's exact provenance. Readers may need to do some remote viewing of their own to fill in the blanks, but overall this is a dramatic tale told with flair. Photos not seen by PW.

5.0 out of 5 stars Captain Moorehouse is how I knew him, July 29, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Psychic Warrior: The True Story of America's Foremost Psychic Spy and the Cover-Up of the CIA's Top-Secret Stargate Program (Mass Market Paperback)

I was under CPT Moorehouse's command From E-1 to E-5. I was in 2nd plt Bco. 1/75 Ranger Bn at Hunter Army Airfield Savannah Ga. It was my platoon on the Objective when CPT Moorehouse had been shot in the head. Unfortunately I wasn't personally on that deployment due to a death in my family. SFC Ricketts, SFC Hayes, Lt. Wright, Lt. Owens were my leaders growing up in the Ranger Bn. All of us under the Command of Captain David Moorehouse. This book would be totally unbelievable to me except for one fact, the man who wrote it. I was in his company nearly the entire time he was in command. I am currently in Special Forces and have been in the military over 12 years. My entire career has been in special operations; and up to date I have not had a commander or Team leader that could hold a candle to Cpt. Moorehouse. As the CQ runner,while under his command, I would have the duties to clean his office in the evenings. I would stand in awe of his walls hanging his military diplomas. Diploma after diploma was distinguished honor graduate or honor graduate. This in it self would set himself far above his peers. But it was my personal witness to his commitment to his soldiers, his company, and mission accomplishment that proved his true character. This man truly trained his company for war not for his OER, which, I believe, most commanders do. On more than one occasion I witnessed him break range control regs, putting his career on the line, so we could have the most realistic training possible. So his company would be truly ready for combat not just looking like it on paper for the higher echelons pleasure. He had tremendous standards which he held the company to. He would not have any of his men do anything he wasn't first willing to do himself. I once witnessed him carrying two rucksacks on a road march. One rucksack was his own and the other was a soldier's ruck who could not keep up the pace. There are too many incidents proving his selflessness and dedication to mention. One thing I can say for sure is I was there. I was a witness to his professionalism, his character, and to this day I would follow him into combat without hesitation. There are many great soldier's in Special Ops and CPT Moorehouse was one of the best. His book is an eye opener for everyone currently in Special Ops. Though by far the most unbelievable non-fiction story I have ever read, I believe this to be truthful coming from CPT. Moorehouse. Bringing this out in the open just proves to me that the utmost Selfless, dedicated, and professional officer I have ever met hasn't changed. 18D4VW9

5.0 out of 5 stars The universe is not a morally neutral realm- even for spies., November 11, 2003

This review is from: Psychic Warrior: The True Story of America's Foremost Psychic Spy and the Cover-Up of the CIA's Top-Secret Stargate Program (Mass Market Paperback)

There was once a U.S. government program that trained carefully selected personnel to transcend time and space; to view persons, places, or things remote in time and space; and to gather usable intelligence on the same. The name of this program was Stargate.

This account is written by a highly decorated regular army officer(Airborne Ranger Company Commander) who was a recruited to play a direct role as a remote viewer. He was seemingly an unusual candidate for this, having grown up in a career army family and the Mormon church. However, having experienced a head wound, and a resulting near death experience, he began to perceive the world around him in a way that shook his previous misconceptions about the nature of the universe. He even began to doubt his own sanity. Fortunately, in those days there were still a few brilliant and open minds connected with the government that recognised the existance and value of those with "special gifts."

This book will give you an overview of the precedure used in the remote viewing process. It also gives a good survey of the types of missions that were attempted. There are several books that can do this acceptably. Morehouse gives insight into the moral and ethical element of the process. You see, he always knew of the higher struggle of Good and Evil in the world and never once lost sight of it (the world would have no purpose without choice between the two.) He shows that this is no doubt what ultimately lead to the demise of the program and the following smear campaign. You see, the CIA tried to take control of the program at the end and nothing "spooked" the "spooks" more than the idea that there might be angels looking over their shoulders. Indeed, the highest ranking intelligence officer in the the army is quoted, before witnesses, as saying that the CIA does nothing that doesn't primarily serve the Agency's own interests- and that they are the biggest assembly of liars and thieves in the country- and an "abomination." These were the words of the army's deputy chief of staff for intelligence.

Whether or not you believe any of this is up to you. All I can say is that I have some small experience in these matters and this is the best written, most intelligent, account that I've read. It was a strong ring of truth to it and that is a hard thing to convincingly counterfeit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compelling, disturbing, authentic....Fantastic Read!, May 26, 1998

This review is from: Psychic Warrior: The True Story of America's Foremost Psychic Spy and the Cover-Up of the CIA's Top-Secret Stargate Program (Mass Market Paperback)

After viewing segment about David Morehouse on TV's "Unsolved Mysteries," I immediately checked out this book on amazon.com and read the reviews listed below with great interest. If you want to learn more about psychic work and the spiritual side of our being and the incredible "sixth sense" powers developed by certain people, this book will absolutely knock you out! In a subject category populated by more than a few authors of "questionable" background and zero scientific expertise of the subject matter, this writer's credentials are exemplary...son of career military father, strong religious background in Morman church, graduate of BYU, highly-decorated U.S. Army officer and later elite Airborne Ranger Company Commander, Morehouse is obviously a person of great patriotism, loyalty, courage, conviction, integrity and intelligence. A tremendous book about the real-life inside background of the government's top-secret Stargate Program. Excellent read! It'll send you off "into the ether" and make you rethink many commonly-held notions about psychic abilities and individuals capable of using their paranormal gifts to transcend time and space. The book cover's notation is true -- "Psychic Warrior" really does portray a real-life "X-Files." Great book!
