Disappointment often arrives on the back of an expectation. “The Men Who Stare At Goats” didn’t meet any expectation that I had, except one. It was a farce.

As you may know from my interview with Col. John Alexander, the man supposedly portrayed by George Clooney, alerted us to the fact that while the book of the same name and the movie are based on some factual situations, that was pretty much the stop point for any further reality.

goatstare_ClooneyWhile I didn’t expect much in the way of facts, and there were precious few, or more like, a precious one, I expected humor. Unfortunately most of the laughs contained in the movie had already been viewed in the trailers.

The truth about the research and activation of numerous mental powers that the military conducted is stranger than fiction. And that’s only what’s been declassified. There is so much more.

It would be a real waste if the uninitiated in this area wrote off their interest in this subject without looking deeper into it.

The movie is intended as a farce and it’s truly farcical, but not in the way you’d want to spend your money on.

Every organization has plenty to laugh at, and the military is no exception. From the crazy comedies of the ‘50s to MASH and beyond, it’s an orchard of ripe humor.

That said, and during these times, I feel we need to acknowledge the work ethic and bravery of the men and women who truly do serve their fellow citizens. Thumbs up to them. In fact, when you see a man or woman in uniform, don’t feel embarrassed to tell them that their service is appreciated. I always do. I always fee better after.

If you have any curiosity about the film then wait until it comes out on DVD. Then get it only from one of those $1.00 Redbox things, because to spend more than a dollar would also be a farce.

Psychic Soldiers Saved Lives. Science Fiction? The Colonel Portrayed By George Clooney In “The Men Who Stare At Goats” In An Exclusive Interview.

Exclusive interview with paranormal researcher, Dr. John Alexander, portrayed in the film by George Clooney

Exclusive interview with paranormal researcher, Dr. John Alexander, portrayed in the film by George Clooney

“The Men Who Stare At Goats,” is a new movie starring George Clooney. He portrays the real life Army Special Forces Colonel and paranormal researcher,  Dr. John Alexander.

Las Vegas, Nevada, (PR Web) October 29, 2009 – Dr. John Alexander said that he discovered during combat operations there was always at least one soldier who could “sense” the enemy before anyone else did. He says that every unit had one or more of these soldiers. They saved a lot of lives.

So it wasn’t surprising when Alexander took an active participation in one of the most audacious missions in US military history; the formation of Task Force Delta and The First Earth Battalion, finding and training psychic soldiers to spy on our enemies.

With the blessings of some of the highest ranking officers in the army, Alexander, along with team leader, Lt. Col. Jim Channon, began researching methods and techniques using intuition and the paranormal to spy on US enemies. Channon is portrayed in the film by Jeff Bridges.

Jim Channon, founder of the First Earth Battalion, captures their philosophy with the nature of their mandate; “Dare to think the unthinkable.” They are still thinking and doing.

Alexander is featured in an exclusive interview October 28th with Tom Justin, director of the YIW Institute of Las Vegas, NV and creator of “The Wizard’s Edge” training and the website, www.YourInnerWizard.com.

The interview with Alexander will not only cover his colorful past, but how we can use his research to aid in our daily lives. He’s stated that we are all intuitive, just at various levels. If so, how can we improve?

While the movie is played strictly for laughs, it makes no secret that it (and the book by the same name) is based on fact. Justin says, “Be prepared to be shocked by some of the revelations that you’ll never see in the movie.”

Soldiers were groomed and trained to be “remote viewers” those who could focus in on an enemy location, even thousands of miles away, and describe with various levels of accuracy, various activities, buildings, size, etc.

Many of the principals continued their work after the army. The First Earth Battalion continues with various levels of research in the paranormal as well as earth’s biosphere research, especially as it applies to the military.

The interview will be held Wednesday, October 28th at 5:30 PM Pacific time. and is open to registrants only. The free registration link is http://budurl.com/ghx8

Registrants who can’t listen live will be notified of the recording, which will be available within a day or so.

Tom Justin is the founder and director of the YIW Institute of Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Institute sponsors YourInnerWizard.com and oversees the training program developed by Justin, titled, “The Wizard’s Edge.”

“Your Intuitive Click” is a technique that Tom first created while teaching a course on powers of the mind at UCLA’s Experimental College. He’s developed that program over the years and is now sharing some of it through the power of the Internet.

He is the past-president of The Society For Psychical Research of Beverly Hills, California, a science-based non-profit organization that explored the uses of mind powers and their application in everyday life.

He hosted and produced a series of television specials titled, Psychic Explorations and was a special reporter on powers of the mind for KTTV TV in Los Angeles. This led him to conduct more research about the subject of intuition and its uses, which continues to this day.

In his free special report “Your Inner Wizard,” he will train the reader how to discover and use their intuitive mind with a process he calls the “Intuitive Click,” in 5 minutes or less. The report is at: http://budurl.com/ghx8

Alexander says that we all have intuitive abilities but there are some who are natural super stars, yet everyone can be trained to improve what they already have. He would know.

The film is a comedy but this man is serious stuff.
