                               presents

             THE ENIGMA FILES: THE TRUE STORY OF AMERICA'S
                        PSYCHIC WARFARE PROGRAM

What happens when an  award-winning, veteran reporter begins to investi-
gate the U.S. military's psychic warfare operations?

Ask Jim Marrs.

As the author of the New York Times bestseller,  "Crossfire," one of two
books principally utilized by Oliver Stone in writing the script for the
film "JFK,"  Marrs is an expert at uncovering connections  among complex
governmental games-players.

Now,  three years  after  embarking on a  new odyssey into the  rarified
realm of "remote viewing,"  Jim Marrs  is going public with the contents
of his new book, "The Enigma Files:  The True Story of America's Psychic
Warfare Program."  In it, he reveals astonishing  details of how CIA and
military  psychic espionage operations  have confirmed,  beyond a shadow
of a doubt,  the human mind's ability to  transfer itself,  ANYWHERE  IN
SPACE AND TIME,  to read and communicate  detailed information from even
the most unimaginable locations.

According to Marrs, the "psi-spies" not only succeeded in gaining access
to classified Soviet files through  psychic means,  but verified the ex-
istence of UFOs as intelligently piloted alien spacecraft.  Nor did they
stop there...

Has  Jim Marrs  suddenly lost the skeptical approach and critical abili-
ties that won him the  Aviation/Aerospace Writers Association's National
Writing Award, Freedom magazine's 1993 Human Rights Leadership Award,and
the 1991 Newsmaker of the Year Award from the  Fort Worth Chapter of the
Society for Professional Journalists?

Or has he provided the  public with enough  information to  start making
use of  "remote viewing"  and verify its  practicality through their own
efforts?

You be the judge.

Jim Marrs is well known to many residents of the Dallas-Ft. Worth metro-
plex, having formerly reported for the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, where he
worked his way up from the  police beat to investigative work on special
work on  special assignments,  including trips to  Europe and the Middle
East.  It was that background that put him into a unique position to in-
terview many of the central figures in the JFK assassination.

What was it though, that led Marrs into investigating psychic espionage?

"I was attending one of Dr. Rima Laibow's  TREAT conferences,"  he said,
"and I met a certain individual who, in the talk that he gave,spoke with
unusual certainty and authority on the subject of UFOs."

Upon further inquiry,  Marrs learned that this gentleman had been a gov-
ernment "psi-spy," part of an operation  code-named  GRILL FLAME.   That
project developed out of research into remote viewing initially conduct-
ed at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI)  by  Drs. Harold Puthoff and
Russell Targ.

"As it happened,  I found out that a number of ex-psy spies had formed a
company called `Psi-Tech,'" Marrs said.   "I got in touch with them, and
found that they were interested in seeing a book on this subject for the
general public."

Marrs realizes that the stories told to him by his interviewees -- which
include accounts of  remote viewing of the  Cydonia region of the planet
Mars -- might  sound to a  reasonably skeptical individual like  tabloid
magazine fantasies.

Ironically, the October 10, 1995 edition of the  National Examiner ran a
small headline that read "CIA USES PSYCHICS TO STEAL FOREIGN SECRETS."

According to  Russell Targ,  Ph.D.,  that article was correct in quoting
him as saying that the  CIA had recently released to him documents which
verify that his research at SRI was funded by the CIA.  He also asserted
that about 20% of the article was "pure fiction,"  particularly its men-
tion of what Targ referred to as a "space howitzer" which presumably was
designed to send U.S. missiles into a space-time warp.

As it happened,  this tabloid news story,  mixing fact and non-fact, ap-
peared about two months after Jim Marrs received news from his publisher
Harmony Books (a subsidiary of Random House),  that they were cancelling
publication of "The Enigma Files."

According to Targ,  the Examiner article was  sparked by an interview in
the  London Evening Standard with journalist Jim Schnabel,  who has also
written a just-published expose' of psychic espionage.   Schnabel, curi-
ously, is known to EV director Cheyenne Turner as a debunker of the crop
circle phenomenon, as well as alien abductions.

Is Marrs' book,  "The Enigma Files," now itself subject to a disinforma-
tion campaign?  Have the players in the game of psychic espionage decid-
ed to jump ship and expose as many of their secrets as possible?   Or is
Jim Marrs the  tool of advanced beings  who wish to help humanity evolve
beyond the limits of space and time?

You be the judge.

UPDATE ON JIM MARRS:  During his lecture he will also relate some of the
information he has  gathered about the  Oklahoma City bombing which sug-
gests that it did not occur as the government claims! He believes a mas-
sive cover-up is taking place.  A special thanks again goes to Ed Conroy
for  his well researched  article on  Jim Marrs' new  book,  "The Enigma
Files."  He will also be writing the next article for The Eclectic View-
point newsletter when Whitley Streiber speaks to us on January 13th.
