What Is Remote Viewing?
Remote Viewing or RV is a theory or paranormal belief that a subject can perceive information regarding a remote location purely using instinct and the power of the mind or via ESP (Extra Sensory Perception). The term 'Remote Viewing' was coined by parapsychologist Russell Targ in order to seperate the alleged phenomena from clairvoyancy.
Remote Viewing Experiments
In the nineties the US government spent $20,000 studying and researching the possibility of remote viewing. In 1995 they ended their research program claiming that no useful intelligent information was attained from the Stargate project and therefore deemed it to be pseudoscience. When the documents became declassified the imaginary phenomena of remote viewing became mainstream knowledge and became popularized.
According to Jim Schnabel, after the US government discovered that China and Russia were running ESP research programs, they would occasionally finance their own ESP projects from the time of World War II up until the 1970's. The AIR report concluded that the program produced no useful intelligence data
David Goslin of the American Institue of Research stated "There is no documented evidence it had any value to the intelligence community."
Earlier less sophisticated research into remote viewing had a higher success rate reporting between 5-15% success with remote viewers. However, there is most likely another phenomena behind the success rate and one that can be utilized to give the illusion that remote viewing is really happening.

Subliminal Suggestion
Subliminal suggestion is everywhere, it's always all around us and it's used heavily by advertising agencies. They come up with little memorable jingles for their television and radio adverts that stick in your head making you remember them and associate that jingle with the company being advertised. They place certain images and phrases in their billboard and magazine adverts to do the same thing. It's all subliminal suggestion and it will always have an influence on us to some extent. In fact, suggestive techniques has been showcased to be effective on about one third of all people.
How Remote Viewing Works
Psychological Illusionist Derren Brown showcases on Channel 4 television exactly how effective subliminal suggestion can be by giving some students the toothache of their lives, stabbing a needle right through one of their hands causing them no pain at all and finally sets up a remote viewing experiment with two advertising executives. At the end Brown explains how the success of the remote viewing experiment was achieved via the use of subliminal persuasion.

I haven't actually read that book but I'm definitely going to now that you've mentioned it. I'm considering publishing another hub with evidence that could support the theory.
My thinking on that is that others have done this in book form much better than I could do, from The Stargate Conspiracy to Psychic Warrior, so why bother.
I certainly wouldn't do it for the S. Grubers of the World, as they will only change there minds when they have had an awakening, which often requires that they have an experience that will shock them into realizing the truth.
The conditioning has been to complete, generation after generation have been brainwashed into believing what they are told to believe. You're better off writing about why it is they can't open their minds than trying to convince anyone.
I'm already convinced, so when I read your stories I'm only looking for sources I haven't read yet or confirmation on stories I'm not totally sure of.
I just purchased Get Off Your Knees, The Lion Sleeps No More by Icke and Who Built The Moon by Christopher Knight, so I got a lot of reading to do!
The thing is my main reason for intially signing up with Hubpages was to write about psychology. Being knowledgable about the subject, I know how hypnosis, suggestion, subliminal persuasion, memetics, mnemonics, ouija boards and parapsychology works in explainable conventional terms.
But then at the other end of the spectrum I love conspiracy theories and mysteries that have no rational explanation so really the subjects don't go together that well, they certainly don't go hand in hand.
I've just finished re-reading Unlocking The Secrets Of The Hiram Key. I'm pretty sure I read a book called The Brotherhood by Christopher Knight a while ago too.
I have the Hiram Key but haven't read it yet.

Psychic Warrior is an awesome book on Remote Viewing and you didn't even mention it, shame on you!
I forgive you . . . on another note I think Rafken is holding out on us, he has been publishing some really good hubs of late and suspect he is tapping some insider info.
