Former military intelligence officer and Stargate program veteran Dr. Paul H. Smith reveals the CIA’s classified history of psychic spying and explains how the military weaponized human consciousness to remote view targets across time and space in episode 237 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.

Dr. Paul H. Smith is a retired Major who served 20 years in the U.S. military, serving as a tactical intelligence officer with the 101st Airborne Division during Desert Shield and Desert Storm, and as a strategic intelligence officer for the Defense Intelligence Agency. For seven years, he was a primary member of the government's secret remote viewing program at Fort Meade, where he served as an operational remote viewer, instructor, and unit historian. After retiring in 1996, he earned a PhD from the University of Texas at Austin in the philosophy of mind to further explore the hard problem of consciousness and its implications for non-physical realities.

In this conversation, Faust and Dr. Paul H. Smith explore the high-stakes world of Project 8200 and the administrative skepticism that led to the program's official closure in 1995. They discuss the democratic nature of ESP, debunking the myth that one must have a special gift to be successful. By examining the redacted files of SRI International and the military classification of anomaly targets, they reveal a legacy of psychic intelligence that remains one of the government's most controversial paranormal secrets.

In this episode:
- The Stargate Origins: How a rumor about a psychic on the Nautilus submarine sparked a psychotronics arms race with the Soviet Union.
- The Cooked CIA Report: Why the 1995 analysis used to justify closing Stargate only examined 40 out of 3,000 operational sessions.
- Post-Stargate Secrets: Compelling evidence from whistleblowers that remote viewing programs may still exist within the NSA or other hidden government tiers.
- Stanford Research Institute: The startling SRI discovery that remote viewing is an inborn human skill rather than a rare gift.
- The Legend of Pat Price: A look at the most significant figure in remote viewing history and the suspicious circumstances surrounding his death.
- Project 8200: The classified exploration of alleged UFO bases and encounters with non-human intelligence.
- The Mars Sessions: A deep dive into the famous remote viewing experiences involving the Red Planet.
- The Heaven's Gate Impact: How sensational claims and tragedies have historically damaged the public perception of serious consciousness research.
- Administrative Cynicism: Why the CIA's decision to end Stargate was more about seizing personnel slots than actual program failure.
- The Hard Problem: Why physicalist science struggles to explain a consciousness that isn't limited by the physical brain.

This isn’t just a discussion about spies and psychics. It is a radical look at military intelligence that proves our highest level defense agencies spent decades using consciousness as a legitimate weapon to pierce the boundaries of time and space.

MIT computer scientist and Silicon Valley veteran Dr. Rizwan Virk reveals the scientific evidence that we are living in a video game simulation and explains why the Mandela effect might actually be a "glitch" in our collective reality in episode 236 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.

Dr. Rizwan Virk (Riz) is a graduate of MIT and Stanford, a successful entrepreneur, and a leading authority on the intersection of technology, physics, and mysticism. He is the author of The Simulation Hypothesis and The Simulated Multiverse, works that bridge the gap between computer science and ancient spiritual traditions. As a veteran of the tech industry, Virk uses his expertise in physics engines and virtual reality to explore the possibility that our universe is an information-based system designed for experiential growth.

In this conversation, Faust and Dr. Rizwan Virk move past science fiction to examine how quantum physics and the "it from bit" framework suggest that information — not matter — is the true building block of our world. By reframing our existence as a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, they explore whether our greatest personal challenges are actually scripted "quests" designed to keep our individual storylines on track.

In this episode:
- The VR "Toaster" Moment: The physical accident that proved reality is easier to fake than we think.
- The Simulation Point: The exact moment technology makes our world indistinguishable from a computer program.
- It From Bit: Why top physicists believe the universe is built on binary code rather than solid matter.
- The River of Forgetfulness: Why ancient mystical texts describe birth as "plugging in" to a state of amnesia.
- Avatar Agency: The hidden Sanskrit meaning behind "Avatar" and what it reveals about your physical body.
- Life's Difficulty Curve: How the founder of Atari’s Golden Rule explains the challenges of human existence.
- The Mandela Effect: The disturbing reason thousands of people share identical "false" memories of history.
- The "Writer's Room": A look at the hidden part of our consciousness that scripts the drama of our lives.
- Holographic Life Reviews: Why NDE survivors describe a playback technology that records every human emotion.
- The AI Trap: The real reason to fear artificial intelligence that has nothing to do with a robot uprising.
- The Bible & The Wolf: A deep dive into the famous scripture "glitch" that is shaking people's faith.

This isn’t just a theory about technology. It’s a radical shift in perspective that suggests your greatest challenges might just be the levels you were born to beat.

What’s really inside the latest Epstein document release and what’s being wildly misrepresented?

In this live episode, Faust Checho breaks down the newest tranche of documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein, separating verified facts from exaggerated claims, recycled rumors, and outright misinformation spreading across social media.

Faust walks through what the documents actually say, what they don’t say, and why certain names and claims are being framed in misleading ways. This is a grounded, evidence-based discussion focused on document literacy, media manipulation, and accountability, not clickbait.

Some claims circulating right now collapse under even minimal scrutiny. Others raise serious, unresolved questions that deserve deeper examination. Faust tackles both… live.
