FIRST EARTH BATTALION The Real Story Pt.2 By Jim Channon

Gorgeous George Stares At Goats

We suspect that usually George Clooney's stare only makes him a
ladykiller, but today, he's signing on for a different task: killing goats
with only the power of his mind. Yes, he'll be starring in The Men Who
Stare At Goats, to be directed by his producing partner and Good Night,
And Good Luck co-writer Grant Heslov.

The story's based around the US Army's semi-mythical First Earth
Battalion, which apparently investigated psychic powers and non-lethal
weapons during the late 1970s and 1980s, after Lt. Col. Jim Channon went on a
fact-finding mission through the hippy communes of California and came
back advocating ginseng regulators, divining tools, omni-directional
thought and colourful uniforms so that "individuals will shine through
the conformity. Groovy dude. They also had a goat lab at Fort Bragg,
where for 25 years soldiers tried to kill goats by staring at them.
Allegedly, it worked once, but we suspect that had more to do with the goats
by that point probably being quite old.

The film's based on the book all about the events by journalist Jon
Ronson, with a script by How To Lose Friends and Alienate People's Peter
Straughan. While Heslov's directed before, this is his highest profile
film to date, what with bestest bud the Cloonster starring. And also
staring. So fingers crossed for something truly groovy, man.

George Clooney in Men Who Stare At Goats movie

The Men Who Stare At Goats is a must-read 2005 book by UK journalist
Jon Ronson about the US government's interest in very strange stuff, like
Jedi powers, psychic spying, subliminal sound weapons, and the
potential to kill something (like a goat, or an enemy soldier) just by looking
at it. Fact or fiction, or most likely some of both, it's an absolute
blast to read. (And Ronson's BBC documentary based on the book, Crazy
Rulers of the World, is a lot of fun too! You can find it here on Google
Video.) Yesterday, it was announced that Grant Heslov will direct a
feature film based on The Men Who Stare At Goats. The star? George
Clooney. From Variety: Script was penned by Brit Peter Straughan ("How to Lose Friends and
Alienate People"). The project has been around for some time, but
international buyers only just received the script this week as the Cannes
fest and market got started. Script topped the 2007 Brit List of best
unproduced screenplays.

This guy is great! I worked as a scientist for 11 years for US Government Agencies and what I saw, over and over, is that the guys who REALLY knew what was going on were not walking egos. They were smart, good communicators like this guy. I never would have guessed that there was ANY part of the ARMY this sharp. Impressive that this guy survived the "system" to get to Colonel rank. What a guy!

The idea of taping into the metaphysical as a combat multiplier is nothing new. All forms of martial arts incorporate different degrees of controlling energy. Ancient warriors from China, Japan and other countries have been practicing this for centuries. So the United States Army entering into this realm may suprise some but not people who have served. Contrary to the popular myth, the miltary is not comprised of dull minded robots, trust me nothing is farther from the truth.

@BIRISHPM I think that I'm not out of line to say that this all ties into the archaic revival.

Jim Channon doesn't always drink beer, but when he does he prefers Dos Equis.

[2011agentsofchange]

how can someone who claims to be one with his inner spiritual self,

still be such a flag waving, patriotic, slave of Uncle Sam ?

I do not believe that anyone who comes to inner peace can accept to got to

war for a political institution guided by capitalist interests. there is no such thing as spiritual warfare as anyone who understands the true nature of it's own spirit understands that the only war we have to fight today is the war to liberate ourselves from enslavery by our governments.
