Unconventional Method

Unconventional Method

An insider's account of the first successful employment of anomalous cognition - or 'psychic power' - by members of the American intelligence community to identify a spy. Not a work of fiction. Author Scott W. Carmichael served for a period of nearly 26 years as the senior security and counterintelligence investigator for the Defense Intelligence Agency in Washington DC. In late January 1999, he engaged with eight other DIA employees in an unofficial experiment to determine whether a colleague with demonstrated psychic ability could provide information to identify an individual who secretly met on 18 January 1999 with a Singaporean military attachÃ© in Bangkok, Thailand and offered for sale a quantity of classified American imagery. A spy. The psychic was provided no information about the 'walk-in event' of 18 January. In fact, she was not even informed of the nature of the project. During one psychic session conducted 'in the blind' in February 1999, the psychic provided to Carmichael details concerning the 18 January walk-in event to which only the FBI had been privy. The psychic additionally informed Carmichael that the suspect was either Australian or closely connected to the Australians â€“ something the FBI did not know. During a subsequent session conducted in February 1999, the psychic projected that the FBI would meet with the suspect in a sting-type operation in Asia during the last week in March, and that the FBI would arrest the suspect in a sting-type operation in the Washington DC area in mid-May 1999. The psychic was accurate on both accounts. On 15 May 1999, the FBI arrested Australian citizen Jean-Philippe Wispelaere during a sting-type operation at Dulles International Airport outside Washington DC for the offense in question. Unconventional Method documents in detail the step-by-step process followed by Carmichael and his team as they sought to resolve the seemingly impossible by a seemingly impossible method.

This effort should surprise no one who is familiar with the American intelligence community's past work with psychic phenomenon, and no one who is familiar with Scott Carmichael, the DIA agent who directed Unconventional Method. DIA provided oversight for a US Army initiated psychic program for a period of approximately 20 years until the program was terminated in 1995. The objective of that program was to determine whether individuals with documented psychic abilities could enhance America's intelligence collection efforts. The program enjoyed many successes, some of which remain classified to this day and have consequently never been disclosed to the public. A fine book by author Jim Schnabel entitled REMOTE VIEWERS: The Secret History of America's Psychic Spies accurately documented the history of the program and revealed some of its successful efforts. Upon termination of the program, some of the psychics continued their employment by the federal government; three of them continued their employment with DIA, in various conventional capacities. One was Angela Ford.

Carmichael is the DIA Special Agent credited with identifying spy Frederick C. Hamilton inside DIA in 1991 (convicted 1993), and with identifying major Cuban spy Ana B. Montes inside DIA in 2000 â€“ approximately one year after the successful experiment documented in Unconventional Method.

This is not a work of fiction. In 1999, nine DIA employees engaged in an unofficial effort to determine whether Angela Ford could advance their world of counterintelligence in a unique way. She succeeded. Everyone was amazed.
