Reply #176: SAIC is closely tied to the CIA

[starroute]

This is apparently no secret -- I've found it mentioned in several places, and one site even said SAIC is sometimes known jokingly as S-CIA. A piece from The Progressive says, "Another U.S. company involved in the mercenary business in the Balkans is Science Applications International Corporation, a contractor that counts many former CIA and National Security Agency types in its ranks as military personnel."

SAIC was even involved in a project to do psychic spying for the CIA!

"Between 1972 and 1995 hundreds of "remote viewing" (RV) experiments took place at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in America, and later at Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC). The CIA funded them. In July 1995 the CIA declassified documents revealing its research. There had been many claimed leaks about such programmes, with exotic names such as Sunstreak and Star Gate, but this is the first admission by the intelligence community."

"Many successful experiments were also conducted at SAIC. One found that when subjects were being unknowingly observed on video, galvanic skin response increased. (Interestingly, the response was much greater if the subject was observed by a person of the opposite sex!) In another experiment subjects tried to guess one of a set of four images looked at by a viewer. The average "hit" rate was well over 30%, when chance would have given 25%."
