The IRVA 2015 (International Remote Viewing Association) conference at the New Orleans Hyatt French Quarter appears heading to its own death spiral. While attendance the past years has been increasingly thin ----with the majority of both attendees and guest speakers typically 65-80 in age--- attendance yesterday and today fell to new lows. Just a few dozen attendees came to some sessions and the total paying guests during lunch and dinner sessions was according to a source on the scene “perhaps 60 on average”. The main conference room often had scattered chairs filled upfront and two hundred empty chairs behind them. See photos and a video shot by attendees at https://www.facebook.com/pages/IRVA-International-Remote-Viewing-Association/121030527964765?sk=timeline&ref=page_internal

Russell Targ, Dale Graff, Pam Coronado, Nancy Jeane, Patricia Cyrus, and Noreen Renier were among the guest speakers. Some historical trackers would likely cite credibility issues within such a guest speaker list. And one can now question the paranormal powers that these and other IRVA members have claimed for decades. Such claims include their powers being both supported and powered by the interest of governments and billion-dollar companies. But no such interested parties showed up. Not only was there no national, regional, or even statewide media coverage, but no major leaders (government or private enterprise) paid any attention at all to such claimed powers. Perhaps after decades of exaggerated delusions no one really cares about their “legendary gift of contact” except sixty people among the 7 billion on the planet.

It's funny, but I feel a little bit sad about this. After researching the US government remote viewing program (I wrote a book, "America's Imaginary Hostage Crisis", available on Kindle) I have a strange fondness for them. Most genuinely thought they were doing something new and useful. To see the numbers dwindle like this makes me a bit melancholy. Like a bit of history is fading away. History of a failed experiment, true, but history nevertheless.
 
IRVA 2015 conference drops attendance again

"Most genuinely thought they were doing something new and useful."

There is only so long a period of time that one MIGHT believe they are capable of such paranormal gifted powers. As months and then years go by and the results behind such claims never supports such powers --- those who were rational would drop their claims. And none have had the honesty to test whether they can contact people they know nothing about and ask the questions only recorded by the people themselves before they died. Such as 'what year did you sell your first car and what was the make and model?" Instead we've had decades of creative delusionary claims that they can contact the dead but can't get specific answers. Nonsense. To now genuinely believe that they continue to have powerful paranormal powers is --- well, beyond delusional. Given that they fool themselves and spend much of their time attempting to fool others --- I have no sympathy. They are delusional, arrogant, and knowingly have passed into the realm of public deception and/or fraud.

I am getting an image. Some box like structure on a stage. Some chairs-or penguins I can't quite tell which. Someone in a suit... Maybe two people in suits? And there are trees somewhere outside...

How am I doing? And I didn't even look at the photos!
 
Poignant schadenfreude.

I'd suggest they get with the times. The Charlie-Charlie pencil demon could take them places — Youtube and beyond!
 
Are those porta potties in this picture? Are they reduced to remote viewing into freaking porta potties!?


No, they're TARDISes. Or possibly just one TARDIS crossing it's own timeline. Such a spacetime nexus should be an ideal case for remote viewing.
 
I already watch Doctor Who on a wireless Internet connection. It doesn't get more remote than that!

Hey! It's bigger on the inside than on the outside! Lots of commodes- no queues!
 
IRVA 2015 conference: Dying group?

A week after my posting and no comments from IRVA members. The conference apparently closed out its final day with few people but key organizers and speakers.
 
Do people remember that a few years ago, MIT students (I think) held a Time Traveller's Convention? No time traveller showed up of course But when a news reporter asked the organizers if they planned to hold the convention every year, the organizers said, "Why would we need to?"
