Military Psychics? Still crazy after all these years
At least this isn’t my tax money at work.
SECRET documents have revealed the MoD have been studying the paranormal and other unexplained scientific phenomenon for use in the war against terror. The newly released files show that just after 9/11, the Ministry of Defence conducted a research project into psychics - with the possibility they could be used to locate terrorist cells. [From Revealed: How the Government studied the paranormal for use in war on terror - The Daily Record]
That, in this day, people who control public money could still be investing in this bullshit amazes me!
OK, let’s say for a moment that, during the cold war, credible intelligence reached the west that the Soviet Union was investing in research into psychic powers. The military ramifications if psychic powers turned out to be true are awful to contemplate. In that respect, wacky though it may sound, there’s a legitimate defense reason for investigating the possibilities.
However, once that was shown (yet again) to be completely baseless, this needs to be dropped. That someone has started it again in the wake of 9/11 in criminal abuse of tax money.
It’s so far wrong that I almost wonder if the reporting isn’t as accurate as it could be… So, what is the Daily Record’s record?
A whole mess of stupid in one package… »
