The death of former military intelligence officer Ed Dames has reignited public fascination with one of the strangest chapters in modern American history: the U.S. government’s deep involvement in psychic warfare, remote viewing and occult-style intelligence operations.
Before his death in March at age 76, Dames issued one final warning about what he called the coming “Killshot,” a catastrophic solar event he believed would devastate Earth during the current Solar Maximum cycle.
According to the Daily Mail, Dames warned that massive eruptions from the sun would cripple infrastructure worldwide, collapse communications systems and trigger widespread chaos.
“You wake up and there’s no power and there’s no water and there’s no gasoline, it’s going to be a bad nightmare scenario,” Dames said during an October 2025 interview released last month, as reported by the Daily Mail. “That’s what you’re going to be confronted with. The government is not going to help you.”
Dames spent years tied to the infamous Project Stargate, a classified Cold War initiative in which U.S. intelligence agencies explored psychic phenomena and remote viewing for espionage purposes.
The government framed the program as intelligence gathering. Spiritually, it mirrored the same occultic practices Scripture has condemned for thousands of years.
Deuteronomy 18:10-12 states:
There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or daughter pass through the fire, or who practices divination, or a soothsayer, or an augur, or a sorcerer, or one who casts spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord.
The deeper we examine these programs, the clearer the spiritual reality becomes. Governments did not merely stumble into scientific curiosity. They actively pursued supernatural power outside the authority of God.
That pursuit never ends well.
Dames warned that humanity was entering a dangerous period connected to Solar Cycle 25, claiming the sun was behaving in unprecedented ways.
“Right now we’re at the beginning of the solar cycle. 25 Solar Max,” Dames said, according to the Daily Mail. “Solar Max should last for about two years, and the sun’s doing unprecedented stuff.”
What makes these warnings especially striking is how closely they parallel biblical prophecy concerning the last days.
Revelation 16:8-9 declares:
Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. Men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, who has power over these plagues. And they did not repent and give Him glory.
Scripture literally warns of a future time when the sun will scorch the earth with intense heat as part of God’s judgment during the Tribulation period.

Luke 21:25 also says:
There will be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars, and on the earth distress of nations with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring.
The convergence is impossible to ignore. Scientists openly warn about severe solar storms capable of disabling satellites, GPS systems and electrical grids. Meanwhile, figures tied to occultic government programs describe apocalyptic solar catastrophes and global collapse scenarios.
This is not random.
We are witnessing a generation obsessed with forbidden knowledge, paranormal experiences and supernatural power apart from God. The rise of psychic experimentation, AI spirituality, UFO deception narratives and occult fascination all point toward the spiritual confusion Scripture warned would dominate the last days.
The pattern surrounding many researchers and personalities connected to these subjects is equally disturbing. Figures tied to fringe intelligence research, esoteric investigations and paranormal disclosure movements often spiral into destruction, disappear mysteriously or die unexpectedly. Public fascination with voices such as David Wilcock reveals how deeply people hunger for spiritual answers while rejecting biblical truth.
Christians cannot afford to treat this lightly.
Ephesians 6:11-12 commands us:
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
We are in a spiritual war.
The battle is not merely political, technological or cultural. It is supernatural. Satan has always counterfeited the things of God through occult practices, hidden knowledge and deceptive spiritual experiences.
That is exactly what we see in programs like Stargate and the growing obsession with psychic phenomena.
But Christians do not walk in fear.
Jesus Christ already warned us that deception would intensify before His return. Matthew 24 repeatedly warns believers not to be deceived as signs increase across the earth and heavens.
The answer is not hidden government programs, psychic revelations or apocalyptic predictions.
The answer is Jesus Christ.
As darkness spreads and the world chases forbidden spiritual power, we must stay anchored in the Word of God, filled with the Holy Spirit and clothed daily in the full armor of God.
