The Men Who Stare at Goats

**jmm99** · 11-04-2009

via the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), in Nov 2008, The council, INTJ - including yours truly in this revealing analysis of the INTJ (JMM) and ENTJ (Stan) types. This true piece of work (pure science) is an invaluable reference to our present study of psychic energy applied to goats.

What is proof of the pudding is Ted's introduction of sheep into the equation; and 120mm's coup de grace introducing the goat - foretelling the present discussion by almost 12 months. Verily, need we more evidence than that presented to our lying eyes.

Cheers

We used to arrest people who stared at farm animals to long... Never really knew their intentions if you know what I mean. As to the movie? Well I'm hoping it is funny even if most people won't get the jokes. I was figuring it would be in the same genre as "Burn after reading".

I hope so. That movie was brilliant.

LTC (ret) Jim Channon's "First Earth Battalion" can be found here. This is the guy played by Jeff Bridges in the movie. Interesting stuff...

You have to go to the top to understand how all of this emerged. A guy named General Stubblebine was the INSCOM commander in the 80's, and there is all sorts of weird stuff associated with him. The First Earth Battalion is one of his projects, he also did a lot of weird stuff that can be read about in "The Hunt for Zero Point" book.

A very good friend of mine who retired as a CW3 and was a career MI NCO/Warrant said Stubblebine used to bend spoons with his mind, a la Uri Geller. My buddy is now a SES-level civilian in the MI world and I have zero reason to doubt him.

I'm looking forward to the movie, the book was wildly entertaining, even if there was some poetic license taken.
