And I wasn't to be driven out by dark, largely anonymous forces which apparently lurked here and there. I still fancied myself the lean, mean fighting machine -- albeit apparently neither lean or mean enough. I was to toughen up much later. Osis, Mitchell, Schmeidler and I and other supporters on the Board had many discussions about what to do, about how to get the experiments, and which experiments, up and running again. At first my heart wasn't entirely in it. But when strange gossip began surfacing about me, I knew I had somehow to get stronger. I had my tripartite spy organizations of Zelda, Buell and Ruth Centrals, and all of which combined to inform me of EVERYTHING. I was ready to quit lab research. But I wasn't going to be driven away from the ASPR by demeaning gossip, of all things. It is somewhat painful to include the following in this book, and many might at first consider it out of place -- even vulgar. But in the years to come, enormous efforts were made to debunk and debase remote viewing. These efforts were made not only by chronic skeptics who could easily be identified as the "enemy." Some of the efforts were made by a few noted parapsychologists, and some self-styled ones who had risen into visibility. I will touch on some of these events ahead.
