Jake Barber’s Recovery of the Toughbooks: Insights from Remote Viewing
I recently revisited Jake Barber’s lengthy interview with Coulthart and was particularly struck by the details regarding the recovery of the Panasonic Toughbooks. Barber discusses his deployment after 2018 to retrieve High Value Targets (HVTs), which he identifies as six Toughbooks. He suggests that the data on these devices is highly sensitive, stating, “It’s quite possible that the information on these Toughbooks relates to sensor data and video that was illegally obtained during operations.”
Using “human intelligence,” they successfully recovered the first two Toughbooks in the High Sierras. Subsequent intel directed them to a high-altitude lake, where they discovered the devices inside a sealed steel container, submerged 25 feet underwater.
If the information circulating about psionic abilities is accurate, it seems likely that remote viewing is becoming more prevalent within the intelligence community. Did anyone else get the impression that remote viewing may have played a role in locating these Toughbooks, given their unusual hiding spots? Or could it be that those concealing the HVTs were fully aware of remote viewing techniques and took measures to make the devices nearly impossible to find?
It’s interesting to consider the implications of remote viewing in the context of Jake Barber’s recovery operation. The details you mentioned about the Toughbooks’ locations being so specific and seemingly well-concealed hint at a level of awareness about intelligence tactics—whether conventional or unconventional—on the part of those hiding them.
If we accept the premise that remote viewing is indeed a tool used within the intelligence community, then it makes sense that some might try to counteract it, leading to the choice of a high-security location like a sealed container underwater. It’s fascinating to think about how these kinds of operations might develop further, especially in an era where technological advancements and unconventional methodologies are increasingly intertwined.
Moreover, the fact that human intelligence (HUMINT) played a significant role in recovering some of these devices suggests a balance between traditional spying methods and potentially more esoteric practices like remote viewing. There’s a lot we don’t fully understand about how these various forms of intelligence can complement each other.
It would be intriguing to hear more perspectives on how they might be utilized in tandem. Has there been any previous commentary or analysis on the relationship between HUMINT and remote viewing in actual intelligence operations that could provide further insight? This could open up a whole discussion on the evolving strategies within the intelligence community.
