Courtney responded regarding the problem of telepathic overlay in the latest Spotlight. Let me quote how he "solves" it, and then I will explain why his explanation doesn't hold up.

[21:47] "Telepathy is not noise, it IS the signal. But here is the distinction that really matters: Telepathy determines where to look, not what to see. You get that? It determines where to look, not what to see. And that difference is everything. Think of it like a laser pointer, use that analogy. Now, the thoughts of the analyst act like a laser pointer. They focus the remote viewers attention to a specific time and place. They do not determine the content of what the remote viewer sees. It just gets them to the right time and place. [...] So yes, intent matters. But intent is about location, not imagery."

Alright, but... what about the intent of the ETs providing "support" for the viewers?

See, by making use of the ETs help, the tasker isn't pointing at the actual target anymore. Instead, the tasker is pointing at the ETs. And the ETs then can decide what the viewer will see, just like Lacerta decides that she looks human to us.

Also, it's totally plausible that, when pointing at fictional stuff, the tasker is pointing at himself, or at the author of the fiction. The viewer then will essentially make a DMP of the tasker/author, because the target is the person's mind, not a place in physical reality. And the Tanner Dam experiment not only proved that this is possible, it also proved that the viewers can't tell the difference.

This criticism is not meant to invalidate remote viewing. It's meant to make us aware of how the "pointing" works.

[23:17] "And every project includes verifiable elements to confirm correct time and place."

The confirmation of verifiable elements does not necessarily mean that non-verifiable elements are also correct.

Let's use the example of the Pyramids: If the remote viewer is channeled through the mind of another person – which means the mind of the other person replaces the actual target – that person can add the elements you expect to see, like the Pyramids and the desert. But that person can also add fictional elements and mix them with the expected elements. For example, the person could show you King Kong sitting on top of a Pyramid. The viewer will see verifiable elements – the Pyramid and the desert – mixed with a fictional element.

Because of this, every project where the tasker points at an intermediary instead of the actual target doesn't fulfill the requirement of blindness anymore. The intermediary is not blind to the target.

It's very telling that Courtney doesn't mention the ETs' support in the Spotlight. He keeps ignoring the possibility that the ETs are manipulating the viewers for unknown reasons.

[26:41] "Farsight is not the savior. It was never meant to be the savior. Farsight is the archive. The memory store."

That's why it's so important to avoid filling the archive with lies. There's a lot of data in the archive that isn't backed by physical evidence or verification. From a scientific standpoint, it's just hearsay.

In short: Farsight's archive doesn't match the requirements of a proper archive, because the origin of the data is still unclear.
