The Other Half of Hella’s Brain: An Intimate Conversation with Russell Targ.

Abstract: In early June, 2018, Debra Lynne Katz and Michelle Freed-Bulgatz, (aka the“psi chicks”) conducted a phone interview with Russell Targ. They were already familiar with the work he did at SRI, the research arm of the clandestine military programs that operated from 1973 through the mid 1990’s. But whereas so many interviewers merely skimmed the surface, they wanted to go deeper and further into Targ’s psyche than any had gone before. Their mission: to discover the secret to the program’s success in terms of what it was that Russell did with those “non-psychics”, “civilians, senators, generals” who came to SRI as skeptics and left not only as believers, but with pledges to continue financial support of the psycho-energetics program which brought in well over a million dollars each year. By the time the interview ended, they had remote viewed Targ’s most prized possession and not only revealed the secret to Targ’s successful outbounder experiments but learned more about Scientology’s possible hold on one of the program’s remote viewers, Targ’s connection to Bobby Fischer and how his secret mission to corral a publisher at his church led to meeting his true love.
