Operation Eel" -- MKULTRA subproject 131 -- was a program designed to disseminate the results of this psychic/occult research to the public, in a carefully-circumscribed and disguised fashion. (Please note: Some sources make reference to "Project Eel." This terminology is incorrect.) The leaders of this subproject hoped to test an intriguing hypothesis: By using popular media to imprint these images on the public, one might actually increase the likelihood of the forecast coming true. The predictive images were first culled from various receivers. An image recorded by two or more independent participants was considered to be of particular significance. The images were then randomly assigned to the "public" and "private" categories. "Private" predictive images were never revealed in any media, and remain closely held within the case history files; these images constituted the control group. "Public" images were worked into fictional narratives, which appeared in media likely to appeal to the young and the imaginative -- comic books, animated films and so forth. The subproject leaders soon discovered that public forecasts had a 65% success rate, while those forecasts kept private came true at a rate of 35%. Although Project MKULTRA was shut down shortly before the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, Operation Eel continues under another rubric. Later project cryptonyms remain unknown. Most of the participants in the operation were mere dabblers in occultism, and thus unwitting of any agency involvement. A few of the participants (Moore, Kirby) are considered psychic "super-receivers," and thus may in fact be witting (or were witting), although this point has not yet been confirmed.......
