American future-predicting think tank. Members include a former CIA director and other deep state actors; and also future Covid dissidents Catherine Austin Fitts and David E. Martin.

The Arlington Institute (TAI), formerly The Arlington Institute for National Strategy,[1] is an American think tank based in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. It is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.[2]

History

TAI was founded in 1989 by John Petersen.[3] The organization was incorporated in the State of Virginia on November 28, 1989 as The Arlington Institute for National Strategy.[4] Its name was shortened to The Arlington Institute on May 6, 1992.

On September 4, 1992, Petersen participated in a discussion at the Annual Meeting of the American Political Science Association titled "Desert Storm: Insights into the Future" alongside Neal Creighton.[5]

David E. Martin joined the Arlington Institute's Board of Directors in September 2006.[6]

On January 16, 2008, Petersen registered The Arlington Institute, Inc. in the State of West Virginia.[7]

On March 30, 2023, Petersen registered a second entity called The Arlington Institute in West Virginia.[8]

Activities

"At The Arlington Institute we do scenarios. We build them for our clients in various shapes and colors, for we believe that they are the most effective tool currently available for systematically considering the future. Some of our clients want to know about the future of their marketplace, or a major contributing factor to their operating environment, like technology. Others are concerned about possible big surprise events - wild cards - that might blow in unexpectedly and fundamentally shift the status quo."[9]

"Perhaps the most powerful scenario variant is the normative scenario, or desired future. After completing the process of developing an initial set of scenarios the strategist can look across the spectrum of possible futures and begin to develop an image of the future that is particularly desired. A well-crafted normative scenario allows an organization to become proactive, working specifically for their desired future, rather than sitting by and passively waiting for what ever the world delivers."[9]

In 2002, TAI launched the Large Integrated Search and Analysis (LISA) system, intended to "scour the Internet and other media for information that might one day predict otherwise unpredictable events." TAI hired Semantix and Smartlogik to work on the project, along with a third unnamed technology partner.[10]

In September 2008, TAI published an article discussing its WHETHEReport project related to predicting the future through dreams.[11]
