We also got money from US Air Force Training command via the late spook George Koopman - as well as from CIA sources indirectly via the late Hal Chipman. We were part of the covert psy war op which got high level Soviet officials to Esalen hot tubs where their minds were altered by psychedelics and our boys turned them - hence the fall of the Soviet Empire. Note that Boris Yeltsin came to America with Esalen money before he became President of Russia and that the head of Gorbachev Foundation USA is a former Esalen official." "As for Feynman, he also took Werner's money and came to Esalen, though not when I was there. I knew Feynman in 60s. We once went driving in my Jaguar (in 1963) flirting with women on Sunset Blvd. He spent a few hours in 1968 with me talking about my thesis problem. He once sent me a funny letter addressed 'To the Great Sarfatti' ..." - Jack Sarfatti (sarfatti@netcom.com) "In view of the present-day Esalen-Erhard-Yeltsin-Gorbachev connections, the 1979 Esalen-UFO connection is significant. Even though I had split with Werner Erhard by late 1977, est's Raz Ingrasci phoned me and asked me to meet with Jenny O Conner. Raz said that Jenny had been sent to Werner by Sir John Whitmore who had funded Andrija Puharich's collaborations with Uri Geller back in 1973. Jenny claimed to be channeling messages from "The Nine" - the same extra-terrestrials that Puharich wrote about..... Jenny and The Nine was promptly installed at Esalen, the New Age seminar and training center near Big Sur, California, for quite some time overlapping with visits by physicist the late Heinz Pagels, Congressman Charlie Rose, Ira Einhorn, and high ranking Russians from Georgy Arbatov's Moscow Institute of US and Canada which was influential during Gorbachev's watch. Soviet Officials at Esalen in late 70's and early 80's: Valentin M. Berezhkov Yuri A. Zamoshkin Andrey A. Kokoshin Henrikas Jushkevitshus Vladimir M. Kuznetsov Victor M. Pogostin Vlail P. Kaznacheyev Joseph Goldin "This list is not complete. Vladimir Posner is an important fellow in all this according to Schwartz and Tinkerman. The fact remains, the iron post of observation, that a bunch of stoned California flakes into UFOs and psychic phenomena had wormed their way into the highest levels of the American ruling class and the Soviet Union and today run the Gorbachev Foundation. "Did these alleged crypto-Nazi KGB agents get high in the hot tubs of Esalen? There certainly were drugs of all kinds in abundance when I was there! Was Jan Brewer telling the truth about the Fourth Reich using Arica to influence the New Age. Brewer was part of the original Esalen group of forty that went to Chile for the first Arica training with Oscar Ichazo1. Arica was big at Esalen at the same time that the Soviets were soaking in the hot tubs....What about Jim Garrison who now runs Gorbachev's Foundation in America? Was he really a conscious KGB agent as Stephen Schwartz believes?" - Jack Sarfatti, unpulished memoirs (source: Bob Dunn - via ParaNet)
