ISSO  This was an operation done with full knowledge of top levels of the USG Intelligence Community who monitored it Several former Sovietbloc physicists were brought in as consultants including Dr Valdimir Poponin allegedly a personal acquaintance of Gorbachevs We were interested in evaluating the controversial claims of Russian torsion field weapons and therefore brought Gennady Shipov over from Moscow several times On one trip Shipov lived with Sarfatti for about  weeks Richard Hammond and American physicist from Fargo working on torsion fields for US Navy at one time was brought in as well as R Kiehn a former scientist for US SAC and retired professor from University of Houston  Shipov worked with Akimov in Moscow who allegedly had strong military connections in the Soviet era Sarfatti was the senior theorist on the American side of the ISSO core staff that included SaulPaul Sirag He arranged for Creon Levit to be borrowed from NASA AMES to run the daily operations of the project Over a million dollars was given to SARA a TRW spinoff DOD contractor in Huntington Beach CA to further test a system developed by Jim Corum Corum also wrote papers on The Philadelphia Experiment and had entre to the Tesla Archive in Beograd even during the Cold War This was unusual Corum later went to ISR in WVa a think tank doing exotic work with USG funds provided by Senator Robert Byrd and his Congressional counterpart in his home district The key objective of course was to try to figure out how the saucers really flew All of the key scientists had interest in that with the possible exception of Hammond and Kiehn Harold Puthoff was brought in as a consultant Ken Shoulders was also involved as were many others whose schemes were tested The key foreign figure was Professor J P Vigier from Paris who had been Louis DeBroglies assistant for decades Sarfatti arranged for a Telegraph Hill Penthouse for Vigier to spend extended periods meeting the scientists flowing through ISSO Vigier and Levit made a trip to Budapest in  to meet with two Serbian physicists  ZMaric   A Dragic who were experimentally testing an exotic atomic energy release idea of Vigiers of obvious interest to USG Intelligence because of its WMD implications See the paper On the possible Existence of Tight Bound States in Quantum Mechanics pp  of the same volume of one of Sarfattis papers ie Vol  of Fundamental Theories of Physics ISBN  This is not a coincidence There are few coincidences in this Looking Glass War Twilight Zone interface between physics and politics to quote Sarfatti in one of his more eloquent moments  In fact ISSO paid most of the expenses for the meeting upon which the volume is based Enuff said I hope this helps to somewhat clarify Sarfattis multiple roles in these events Sarfatt is a kind of a canary in the mind shaft for MASINT For example he was quite alarmed about an immanent attack on important US Military targets in the Fall of  Sarfatti wrote numerous emails on this during July  Aug  It seems to be a case of precognitive remote viewing Unfortunately Sarfatti was not able to pinpoint the exact time and place of the attack attacks He had guessed Oct  because of some big antispace weapons rally by leftist groups scheduled for that time at LockheedMartin UserUFOBlackOps  Oct
