    Major Edward A. Dames is a retired U.S. Army and CIA intelligence officer, known primarily for making wild and fantastic predictions of imminent doom, that never actually come true. After training under Ingo Swann, who developed the original remote viewing protocols, Dames went on to found PSI TECH, a company that sells home remote viewing kits. After a departure involving legal battles with his ex wife that culminated in a $2m judgement against him, Ed has continued marketing psychic training DVDs and other related products independently from Hawaii. Ed Dames is a regular guest on the late-night radio program Coast to Coast AM. His appearances are usually marked by a flood of predictions, involving everything from contact with alien races to the destruction of life on Earth.In 2004, he was hired as a consultant for the feature film Suspect Zero. He also made his acting debut in the film, playing the small role of a CIA remote viewing instructor.

    A contentious figure - As a result of his frequent catastrophic predictions, Dames is controversial among both Skepticismskeptics and believers of remote viewing: skeptics tend to chide him for fear-mongering, while many believers feel that his failed predictions have damaged their credibility. Dames asserts that most of his "failed" predictions are faulty only in timeline, and that setting exact dates is incredibly difficult.Ed has claimed his particular brand of remote viewing can deliver 100% accuracy when mutually collaborating data is pooled from multiple sessions. However, based upon the evidence of Ed’s numerous failed predictions, the actual accuracy of his methods appears to be 0%.Some of his grandest predictions are linked to major events, making their veracity easier to determine. One example is the "Hale-Bopp companion": Dames claimed that the comet was sent into the solar system to deliver an attached cylinder filled with a fungal organism related to ergot. The cylinder was to have burned up in the atmosphere above Africa, releasing its deadly contaminant into the atmosphere. After several years, a world-wide infection of grasses by this fungus was to cause massive food shortages.

    "The Killshot" - Dames has long advertised what he calls 'the Killshot', a deadly solar flare that will strike the Earth in the near future. He has produced a DVD, for sale on the internet, that purports to instruct viewers where to go in order to survive. Dames has said the Killshot will occur at a time when the Earth's magnetic shield has been weakened by a long period of solar activity, and will eliminate most (but not all) life on the planet. He initially predicted the event for early 1999, but has pushed back the date several times since then. In February 2005, he told Coast to Coast listeners that it would most definitely occur around the coming November (following a premature landing of the Space Shuttle.) Then, in July, he ? coasttocoastam.com - revised that timeline to ecompass a "maximum of two years". His latest account now estimates that one-third of the human population will die from the blast.

    Indonesian earthquake prediction - On January 1, 2005, Ed Dames told Coast to Coast listeners that a 9+ magnitude earthquake would strike the northwester tip of New Guinea in March of that year. When the month rolled around, Dames ? coasttocoastam.com - claimed a "hit" - an 8.7 magnitude quake occurred in the region, albeit 2,000 miles south of where Dames predicted the epicenter would be. The prediction also included that the Monju Experimental Breeder Reactor in Japan would "break", causing widespread devastation. This did not occur.

    Criticism - Ed Dames is throwned upon by the Remote ViewingRV community as a gadfly making up sensational predictions so as to attract attention and possibly make money off of remote viewing kits and the like.It has been noted by many (including a caller on Dames' October 12th 2003 appearence on Coast to Coast AM, who plainly stated that nothing Ed said "ever happended") as never making a single accurate prediction.He has also taken some heat for his work on missing/murdered children and their kidnappers/killers in which he is charged of exploiting their and their family's misfortune for publicity and profit.
