1. Remote Viewing & the Stargate Program:

Atwater's Role: Atwater describes his role as a “monitor” and facilitator, receiving and interpreting information from remote viewers like Pat Price. He wasn’t a viewer himself, but oversaw the process and communicated with the viewers and those requesting the information.
Methodology: The interview hints at the protocols and processes involved in remote viewing sessions, emphasizing the need for structured communication and careful interpretation of the often abstract information received.
Accuracy & Validation: Atwater emphasizes the careful attempts to validate the information obtained through remote viewing, though specific examples are limited in this excerpt.

2. Pat Price & His Fate:

Strong Belief He's Still Alive: Atwater firmly believes that Pat Price’s reported death was a fabrication by the CIA to cover up continued operations. He recounts a situation where he tried to locate Price through another remote viewer, receiving information suggesting Price was still active but working in a hidden capacity.
Multiple Accounts of Price’s Death: Atwater details four different stories surrounding Price's death, each potentially a deliberate attempt to mislead. These include stories about the body being altered, misinformation planted, and false narratives created by the CIA.
Suspicion of CIA Cover-Up: The entire discussion around Price points to a deep suspicion that the CIA continued to utilize Price's abilities in secret, even after publicly announcing his death.

3. The Dismantling & Continuation of the Stargate Program:

Program's Closure & Internal Conflicts: The interview touches upon the reasons for the official dismantling of the Stargate program, citing internal disagreements between individuals assessing its effectiveness.
Strong Belief in Continued Operations: Atwater strongly believes that the program wasn't truly shut down, but simply reorganized and continued under a different guise. He states, "why wouldn't they?" pointing to the existence of five other programs.
Lack of Current Knowledge: He admits that after 26 years and 12 years of retirement, he has no knowledge of current activities, but firmly believes operations continue.

4. General Skepticism & Cover-Ups:

Distrust of Official Narratives: A consistent theme throughout the interview is Atwater’s deep distrust of official narratives and his belief that the government frequently engages in cover-ups to protect sensitive information.
Potential for Misinformation: He suggests that the CIA is capable of creating elaborate misinformation campaigns to mislead the public and control perceptions.

Overall Impression:

This is a compelling interview with a veteran of a highly secretive program. Atwater presents a picture of a world where psychic abilities are real, the government actively investigates them, and a great deal of information is deliberately concealed from the public. His perspective is heavily shaped by his experiences and his strong suspicion of authority, making for a fascinating, if somewhat conspiratorial, account.
