What if the U.S. government really tried to weaponize the human mind? In this episode of The Broken Truth Podcast, Garrett Greene dives into one of the most bizarre—and most heavily classified—programs in American intelligence history: Operation Stargate, the CIA and U.S. Army’s decades-long attempt to use psychic abilities for espionage. From Cold War panic over Soviet “psi warfare,” to the Stanford Research Institute’s groundbreaking experiments with Ingo Swann and Uri Geller, to the Army’s remote-viewing unit hidden inside Fort Meade, this investigation uncovers the strange world of psychic soldiers, unexplained hits, intelligence failures, and the mysterious shutdown of the program in 1995.
Were psychic spies real? 
Did the government actually get results?
And why are so many former insiders still insisting the program never truly ended?
This episode explores the verified history, declassified documents, scientific reviews, and the cultural impact that still shapes pop culture—from The Men Who Stare at Goats to Stranger Things.Because the truth isn't whole…
It's broken.
