*  Cdr. Cecil Beam "Scott" Jones, Jr., Ph.D., is a career naval intelligence  
and later civilian intelligence operator, privately employed from 1981-1985  
with KamanTEMPO, now part of Kaman Sciences, a military and  
defense/intelligence contract manager. 
Jones edited "scientific" papers in support of the Navy's position, in the  
early '80s, that it did no wrong in exposing military personnel to 1950s-era  
atomic bomb tests in the Pacific, to help the Navy fight off Congressional  
and public probes of this action. 
 
In 1985, Jones (who did teach Political Science at Wyoming colleges after his  
1975 retirement from the Navy; he was in Wyoming initially to teach Naval  
ROTC classes as he awaited retirement after being "passed over" for command,  
so says his wife), went to work as "Special Assistant" to then-Senator	
Claiborne I. Pell, (D-RI). While on Pell's staff, Jones also operated a  
string of "psychics" and dowsers, remote viewers and other paranormal  
operatives in the private sector, feeding data to Dale Graff, at the time  
heading "Weird" operations at the Defense Intelligence Agency. 
 
Jones became well-known in the Washington-area "New Age" and "paranormal"  
community, portraying himself as a sympathetic "father figure" lending an ear  
to the "percipients" of various "anomalous phenomena." He simultaneously  
operated his own small nonprofit organization, the "Center for Applied	
Anomalous Phenomena," which amounted to a family controlled 501-c-3  
organization and had as its primary asset a telephone answering machine in  
the Jones family kitchen. Jones listed his organization in the Northern  
Virginia Yellow Pages under "Parapsychology," and his former executive	
assistant has noted that Cdr. Jones would receive and respond to calls, then  
at times "take off" to meet with whatever "needful and deserving New Age  
ladies" wanted someone to hold their hands and explain their "weird  
experiences." 
 
Obviously a listening post and an "antenna" scanning the Washington New Age  
set, "looking for the KGB" perhaps, Jones made connections to powerful	
friends of Sen. Pell, including HRH Hans Adam II, of Liechtenstein, a  
longtime (as was his father) ally of Cold War American efforts and a  
"pipeline" into Internationalist Europe. Hans Adam funded Cdr. Jones' "Center  
for Applied Anomalous Phenomena" in the later 1980s, and through this  
organization Jones channeled funding to the "Fund for UFO Research," operated  
by several present and former government scientists and UFO operatives, and  
to other groups promoting "UFO abductions" and Roswell "cover-up" stories  
from the mid-1980s until Laurance S. Rockefeller's UFO Disclosure effort in  
1992-1994, to the Clinton White House. (Rockefeller also previously funded  
Greer.) 
It was through Senator Pell that Jones connected with Laurance Rockefeller  
and Mr. Rockefeller's chief financial operative, George Lamb, who figures  
behind the scenes in many of the 1980s and 1990s "UFO" and "abductions" and  
"Roswell" schemes, as a money man and trusted confidant of the Rockefeller  
operation, formerly as a top personal aide to the late Nelson Rockefeller,  
former US Vice President, etc., etc., a link to the "Cold War" intelligence  
community which went out of government after the mid-1970s disclosures and  
"near disclosures" of mind-control and other excesses. 
 
According to a senior CIA neuroscientist, Cdr. Jones was "known throughout  
the intelligence community" for his "psychosexual" expertise. (Interview with  
this writer, June 4, 1994) Jones also was close to Col. John Alexander, with  
whom Jones and Pell worked closely when Col. Alexander was at the Army	
Intelligence and Security Command (also see: the Jedi Project, et al.,	
described in "The Warrior's Edge," by Alexander, Morris, et al.) Jones is  
also described in "The Stargate Conspiracy," by Lynn Picknett and Clive  
Prince, published in 1998 in the UK by Little Brown & Co., and in the US on 4  
Sept. 2001 by Berkley Books, in paperback. See it for context. 
 
In 1989, Jones, Pell and Pell attorney Mark B. Sandground, of the firm	
Sandground, Barondess & West, in Vienna, Virginia, founded "The Claiborne  
Pell Center for Human Potential, Inc.," as a 501-c-3 IRS tax-exempt  
foundation. Pell gave only a few thousand dollars each year, and the  
organization operated as a "shell" to provide a place for Senator Pell to  
"hang his hat" when he retired from the Senate in 1991, as he planned (not to  
seek reelection in 1990). But when the Soviet Union collapsed, Pell opted to  
run again and stay in the Senate, which he did (until retiring in 1997). 
 
In 1990 (early 1991), Jones messed up and wrote a letter on Pell's official  
Senate letterhead, to then Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney, just before the  
Gulf War got into its shooting phase. In this "Dear Dick" letter (Jones had  
known Cheney, as the latter was a Congressman from Wyoming and himself had  
taught college for a time), Jones alerted the SecDEF to a new "technique"  
called "Reverse Speech," at that time being promoted by a self-taught  
"interpreter" of this scenario, one David Oates. 
Jones had been promoting Oates, who claimed that he had learned how to	
"listen" to the spoken language and, by reversing it, to "hear the hidden  
meanings" the way the brain did. Basically, a supposedly sophisticated	
subliminal messaging embedded in a person's language inadvertently. Oates  
would "analyze" the recorded speeches of famous people (Hillary Clinton was a  
memorable example) and then "translate" the person's real, if unexpressed,  
feelings, often at considerable odds with their speech. 
 
Jones "warned" Secretary Cheney that he (Jones) had reason to believe that  
Bush administration or intelligence operatives might be "targeting" Saddam  
Hussein with this kind of reverse speech embedded messaging, in an effort to  
destabilize or anger him. Jones suggested to Cheney that this might not be a  
good idea.  
 
The letter was intercepted by "unfriendlies" in the Pentagon released to news  
media the world over. The Washington Post, Harpers Magazine, the wire  
services and not a few newspapers in the US and around the world made fun of  
Jones, (and Pell, who already had a reputation for his dabbling with "the  
weird" and psychic stuff, and on the Hill was known behind his back as	
"Stillborn" Pell, for his remote, patrician and seemingly distracted  
(elitist?) manner). But Pell was more than he appeared, as he also was the  
American contact for the Club of Rome and was a dyed-in-the-wool  
internationalist holding to some very odd beliefs he shared with powerful  
"others." (Again, see "The Stargate Conspiracy," for context and links to  
popular New Age and "UFO"-related operatives.) 
 
Jones had finally angered Pell's senior staff, and Pell himself, beyond  
limits allowing Jones to continue on Pell's Senate Staff. So Jones abandoned  
his basement office, far away from Pell's actual Senate or Committee digs.  
(Senator Pell was at the time Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations	
Committee, a position that Jones used efficaciously to represent himself to  
the "UFO community" as being in a position of "in the know.") Jones took up  
residence in the office of Pell's attorney Sandground, and the "Claiborne  
Pell Center for Human Potential" was renamed more generically, the Human  
Potential Foundation, Inc. Pell's average annual donation was around $5,000,  
and his wife's foundation gave a similar amount. Most funding came from  
Prince Hans Adam of Liechtenstein, who also funded some of the so-called  
"MIT" conference on "Alien Abductions," which made John Mack and others  
"famous" in the UFO field for their "agreement" to actually study "alien  
abductions" as science. It didn't happen, for obvious reasons; "Why?" is a  
story well known to most readers. 
 
Jones passed the time going to a few meetings and being "important" to the  
field, handing out token grants "for access" and being intermediary for  
several important elements of the "UFO conspiracy" as it was built in the  
late 1980s and early 1990s. Notably, Jones passed a reported $10,000 to the  
Fund for UFO Research so that operation could finish their "Witnesses to  
Roswell" videotape. The money actually came in from Prince Hans Adam through  
Jones's "Center for Applied Anomalous Phenomena," operated at his home,  
something Jones continued after HPF got its start. (Those New Age ladies  
rarely stopped calling. Remind us to tell you about the former FAA executive  
secretary who had "an experience" and became a massage therapist. Scott just  
had to "try her out." Ask him yourself whether he reciprocated.) 
 
Another of Cdr. Jones' "adventures" at this time, circa 1990-1992, was his  
serving first on the board and eventually as President of the American	
Society for Psychical Research (ASPR), based in New York City. Controversy  
(some said "scandal") in the ASPR revolved around Jones activities in  
refocusing the organization, long a bastion of conservative "real science"  
investigating parapsychology and claims thereof. The actions of Jones  
contributed to a rift on the ASPR's board, angering its "old bulls" like  
McConnell of Pittsburgh and Dr. Ian Stephenson, the famous Virginia  
researcher into claims of "past life" recollection. Jones, as an erstwhile  
"believer," had support both within and outside of the ASPR for his efforts  
to crank up their endorsements of psychic phenomena as valid. There was also  
a financial "situation" which dissident board members (i.e., those who took  
strong exception to Jones' action and how he authorized ASPR monies to be  
spent, particularly in what was described by one of the documents circulated  
as a sweetheart deal with the group's executive director) called improper and  
irresponsible. But a board majority backed Jones until his term as ASPR  
president ended in 1992. This episode is available in "public domain." 
 
At the same time, Jones was a member of the board of tiny "Atlantic  
University," a non-accredited "academic" division of the Association for  
Research and Enlightenment (ARE), the organization psychic Edgar Cayce	
founded in Virginia Beach, VA, to house his (more than 14,000)	"channeled"  
readings and to carry on his work after his death (in 1945). Cayce, perhaps  
most famous for his "Atlantis" predictions (sure enough, Atlantis did "rise"  
in 1968, as predicted, with discovery of anomalous undersea rock formations  
off North Bimini Island, in the Bahamas, the so-called "Bimini Road" believed  
by some to be remnants of a pre-Columbian culture, which believers in the  
powerful international "Masonic/Egyptological" cult are sure was "The Lost  
Continent of Atlantis." (Don't smile; this is a deadly genocidal cult, at the  
root of much of the so-called "Mars Face" and "ET-aliens here to help us"  
gigs.) 
 
Jones operated the Human Potential Foundation on a shoestring, until he took  
a copy of the "Witnesses to Roswell" videotape to Laurance Rockefeller, who  
Jones said "became very excited about it." Laurance followed with a  
contribution to the HPF of approximately $300,000 to get it launched, in  
mid-1992.  
 
Good thing, too, as Prince Hans Adam had "dumped" Jones and terminated funds  
to Jones for his Center for Applied Anomalous Phenomena as well as to Pell's  
HPF. In a letter to Jones in June, 1992, Prince Hans Adam termed Jones	
"dangerous," and said "I'm going to tell Claiborne," about his concerns and  
why he cut Jones off. It centered on how Jones had handled routing monies to  
Dr. Rima Laibow's TREAT II conference, which focused on "alien abductions."  
(circa 1991/1992, just after MIT's "alien abductions" conference, taking the  
Whitley Strieber and Budd Hopkins ET gig to a new level, adding John Mack at  
the behest of Hopkins and Robert Jay Lifton.) 
 
Jones had given Laibow money for her conference (actually, Hans Adam's	
money), but then Jones had tried to get Laibow to disinvite Budd Hopkins.  
Hopkins got bent out of shape and Laibow invited him, straining her  
relationship with Jones. Previous to that, Laibow had told a colleague,  
Atlanta New Age therapist Robyn Andrews Quail (an associate of Dr. Raymond  
Moody, a psychiatrist pioneering "past life regression" since the 1970s),  
that she (Laibow) "had a crush on Scott Jones," said Quail in an interview  
with this writer (July 1994). Quail, herself a controversial and  
well-connected operator in the New Age and "Council of Nine" operation	
permeating the "ET/alien" underworld, is notable for her description, after  
what she describes as hundreds of hypnotic regressions of dozens of  
experiencers, of what she coined as the "ETI Prodigy" phenomenon. In this,  
"UFO/ET experiencers" (we used to term them "contactees," such as Stephen  
Greer admits only to "insiders" that he was), exhibit identifiable and	
predictable behaviors, especially when they are given "new science" data  
beyond their educations and frequently their vocabularies to decipher. 
 
(Vallee touches on this aspect of "UFO/ET contactee" experiences, but Quail  
did the field work and published a monograph about it, in the early 1990s.)  
Quail, who has contacts inside NASA's operation at Huntsville, AL and  
elsewhere, was close to Laibow and others in the "hypnotic regression" sector  
of therapists in the mid-to-late 1980s who were digging for and promoting  
information about "ETIs." 
 
Laibow had the highest profile in the group at this time, and she later  
married Col. John Alexander's former boss at Army Intelligence, General  
"Bert" Stubblebine, a promoter of "remote viewing" and other  
alternative-warrior training modalities, and a friend of the New Age force  
then gearing up to face 21st Century enemies, no matter what galaxy they  
hailed from. A visionary, Stubblebine and his wife keep low-profile, as do  
other movers and shakers from the late-Cold War "global mind bend" cadres. 
 
Jones, however, is like a bad penny. He just keeps turning up. Now his	
P.E.A.C.E. has given him another platform and his old friend, Washington  
"mystic" and friend of Pentagonians Ms. Gerry Eitner (accompanied by her  
sidekick and protector, nice guy and Social Security Administration attorney  
John "Jack" Hinman), invited Scott to Washington to help varnish their	
take-over of the nation's 9-11 grief with "peace." 

 
Jones' operation is out of his home in Kerrville, Texas, near San Antonio,  
although he ventures to Washington regularly. His organization has a budget,  
Jones says, in the neighborhood of $20,000 per year, "mostly from my navy  
retirement." Jack Sarfatti says he took Jones to a meeting with former	
multimillionaire Joseph Firmage, at the time spending his fortune "promoting  
the Truth (big-T) about ET contacts with Earth," in search of funding.	
Sarfatti didn't know if (or how much, if so) Firmage gave Scott, and Scott  
ain't saying. Jones has a web site with flapping "doves of peace," just as  
does "The Master's Group" and its resident priestess, Gerry Eitner, (same  
"box?").
