More Spy Games? From Russia to Mars, with Laura Eisenhower

Susan Eisenhower goes to Russia to meet President Medvedev. A year later, her daughter goes public claiming to have been recruited by a secret black operation. Is there a connection?

(STARpod.org) -- Susan Eisenhower, the granddaughter of the late US President Dwight D. Eisenhower, was photographed shaking hands with Russian President Medvedev in March of 2009. Eisenhower was visiting the Kremlin in Moscow as part of a bipartisan commission of the US Congress.

In March 2010, I spoke to her daughter Laura, who had seemingly returned from a mission of her own, to understand why she had allegedly been recruited by a secretive black ops group with their eyes set on Mars.

And in my personal files from 2006, I possessed a body of evidence which seemingly supported the more down-to-earth aspects of Laura's story.

At her website, Susan Eisenhower writes, "I was one of a handful of Americans who met with Russian President Dimitri Medvedev at the Kremlin. As part of a bipartisan commission on US-Russian relations, we were given the opportunity to brief the Russian president on the task force’s findings."

With the latest spy game allegations emerging from complaints filed against alleged Russian spies -- and the alleged goal to provide the Russian intelligence service with access to US policy insiders -- I felt it was time to review the case, once again.

According to the complaints filed against the alleged Russian spies, "The FBI's investigation has revealed that a network of 'illegals' is now living and operating in the United States in the service of one primary, long-term goal: to become sufficiently 'Americanized' such that they can gather information about the United States for Russia, and can successfully recruit sources who are in or are able to infiltrate United States policy-making circles."

In January 2005, Susan Eisenhower was among those credited with producing "Moving forward with nuclear power: Issues and Key Factors," the final report of the Secretary of Energy Advisory Board, described as an "influential" report that "provided many recommendations that were later adopted as national policy."

Susan Eisenhower's influence on US energy policy is clearly felt and the Russians clearly find her views of strategic interest. Her partner and former husband, a Russian scientist named Roald Sagdeev, worked on Russian Mars space missions in the 1970s.

When Laura came forward with her alleged 2006 recruitment, many members of the public seemed to be attracted to Laura's story of a secret Mars mission and space base.

Fortunately, I had access to an archive from STARstream Research which included information about an associate of Laura's -- a man she initially hid behind a pseudonym as "Agent X" -- who had contacted me about his interests in US government paranormal activities. "Agent X"  also provided plans to develop the next generation of interstellar space rockets using nuclear powered rocket engines, with the goal of creating a Mars colony.

As for a spy game, nothing was certain, but many involved in this Mars mission affair were clearly game players with deep interests in clandestine intrigue, including the use of Internet sticky virtual flypaper to attract persons of interest, encrypted email communications, and deep worries their computer systems had been penetrated by foreign hackers.

Adding to the intrigue was the fact that Laura was apparently responsible for introducing her "Agent X" to her mother, the US energy policy consultant.

A quick check of US government literature warning government employees and defense contractors about spy tradecraft indicated that all of the requisite spy game ingredients appeared to be on hand.

At the heart of Laura's story was a new age philosophy steeped in mystical traditions, wrapped inside of the science fiction inspired tales of human space travelers and their close encounters of the other kind.

Another curiosity emerged: an associate of Laura's "Agent X" had provided a plot synopsis for an alleged science fiction screenplay that featured many of the same elements which later appeared in Laura's story.

I must add the entire affair was not entirely conceived in a vacuum outside of American intelligence circles.

An odd report of a deer mutilation discovered by "Agent X" was picked up on by a very well placed former very senior CIA person who, according to my own files, later suggested a trip to visit Dr. Hal Puthoff, the former senior scientist for the US government's paranormal research programs.

"Agent X" was told that Puthoff was "on the inside" and was urged to visit Puthoff's research facility in Austin, Texas.

Fortunately, once of my own sources also arranged to arrive at the Puthoff Institute at the same time, and provided a second source of information about the meeting. I can now count at least three sources who agree the meeting with Puthoff took place: my source, a foreign national from the UK; "Agent X," who also forwarded information to me; and later Laura, who confirmed she had been told about the meeting in Texas, and a woman (presumably my source) that "Agent X" allegedly identified as an agent for the British Secret Intelligence Service MI6. A rumor about my source had been circulating for months prior to the meeting.

Knowing how these kind of rumors evolve over time, the entire affair might be laughed off as a cosmic comedy, if not for Susan Eisenhower's influence on US energy policy, her Russian relationships, and her nuclear expertise.

So, there you have it: at the end of the day, we are left with plenty of suggestible intrigue, some oddities, eccentricities, actions, weird claims, and the slim possibility there is more to this story than a misunderstanding about the mismatch between rocket research and new age science.

But are the Russians, or other intelligence operations, really clever enough to conceive such a complex and diabolical plot to penetrate into US policy?

Or is this an example of mother nature spoofing us after too many Hollywood spy adventures?

Is this a viral meme penetrating the mind, or the latest psychological cover operation?

What do you think?
