Andrija Puharich

He’s high up in the Project, Marshall. I hate to be the one to inform you. And I know, since my reports, he’s spent a lot more time in the Bay Area as opposed to New York, Mexico, Israel — everywhere else he’s been known to frequent.

Physician, inventor, paranormal researcher and undercover Sandman who “collects” psychics, both real and fake, among them the charismatic Israeli showman Uri Geller. For the past many years he has worked to groom legitimate psychics so that they will better serve America’s agenda in the Cold War. Such individuals are rarely interested in something so mundane as geopolitics, however, so “you have to trick them into accepting a new belief structure sometimes.” As he put it:

Uri’s going to serve our purposes extremely well. He’s easily controlled, broadly loyal to the US and Israel, and the back-and-forth “is he or isn’t he the Real Deal” will get everyone looking the other way for years, decades. His fame and this book I’m writing will make him look like a space cadet to most reasonable sleepers in the West plus it’ll likely flush out a bunch of real believers in the Kings. Uri gets rich, we got memes out there to trap more butterflies and I continue to separate the wheat from the chaff, maybe even recruit a few of these folks to our side … everyone’s happy.

Andrija is a member of the Continuity Working Group’s (that is, OZYMANDIAS) steering committee and highly placed within SANDMAN. He was not present at Operation ALLOCHTHON, and his current whereabouts are unknown, though he maintains a sizeable home, dubbed “Turkey Farm,” in Ossining, New York. Several of the Indigo Children have spent time there. Charley also received an invitation from Andrija to come visit sometime.
