"Major" Edward A. Dames is a retired U.S. Army and CIA intelligence officer, known for his claim to be able to conduct remote viewing, and for his appearances on the Coast to Coast AM radio show, where he has made a variety of predictions on topics ranging from contact with alien races to the destruction of life on Earth.
After remote viewing training under Ingo Swann, who developed the original RV protocols, Dames went on to found PSI TECH, a company that sells home remote viewing kits.
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.
He is mentioned, along with other proponents of parapsychology within the U.S. military, in "The Men Who Stare at Goats" by Jon Ronson.
[edit] Predictions
On January 1, 2005, Dames told Coast to Coast listeners that a 9+ magnitude earthquake would strike the northwestern tip of New Guinea in March of that year. A 8.7 magnitude quake occurred March 28, 2005 off the west coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. Although the epicienter was about 2,000 miles west of where he predicted it would be, Dames claimed a "hit". His prediction also included that the Monju fast breeder reactor in Japan would "break", causing widespread devastation. This did not occur.
On October 9, 2004, Dames told the Coast to Coast audience] that he was certain "the next use of a nuclear weapon will be on the Korean peninsula," On October 9, 2006, North Korea detonated a nuclear weapon on the Korean Peninsula.[1]. However, at the time of the prediction US intelligence had already made it publicly known that it believed that North Korea had a nuclear weapon program that was only a few years away from conducting a nuclear detonation.
[edit] "The Killshot"
Dames has long discussed what he calls "the Killshot", a deadly solar flare that will strike Earth in the near future. 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.
In February 2005 he told Coast to Coast AM listeners that it would most definitely occur around the coming November (following a premature landing of the Space Shuttle). Then in July, he revised that timeline to encompass a "maximum of two years". [2]
On 9th December 2006 he again discussed the killshot on Coast to Coast AM, in the context of a powerful contemporary coronal mass ejection event. He said this event was the beginning of the sequence that would lead to the killshot, and that most earth-orbiting satellites would be put out of action. He stated unequivocally that "There will be no more solar max events". [3] His latest account now estimates that one-third of the human population will die from the blast. As of March 2007, he website currently states that the Killshot will happen "in the next ten years."
The Appleseed Cast song "Storms," from the album Mare Vitalis, includes a conversation between Ed Dames and Art Bell. Ed is referred to as "Doctor Doom."
