Comment on Overthrow a Government and Install a Puppet Dictator? The CIA will do it for Bananas!

  Read this dude

  The Stargate Project was terminated and declassified in 1995 after a CIA report concluded that it was never useful in any intelligence operation. Information provided by the program was vague and included irrelevant and erroneous data, and there were suspicions of inter-judge reliability.

  If there was any evidence whatsoever that remote viewing or telepathy was a real thing which actually works, the world would be a very different place.

  Not even the CIA would be able to cover it up and someone would have collected their Million dollar prize

    If you actually read the document their experiments contradict that statement.

    And idk the CIAs word isnt very good historically so their statement of it being useless means nothing to me

    Also scientists like Dean Radin have pretty much proved there is a sixth sense

      I feel like I am talking with a bot who is programmed to annoy the scientifically literate.

      Let us all bask in the absurdity of your thought process:

      You first say ‘the CIA says that they can perform telepathy’, and then you say ‘the CIA says that they cannot perform telepathy’, then you say ‘I don’t trust what the CIA says’, and therefore: ‘the CIA can do telepathy’

      Despite this horribly flawed methodology, the concept of telepathy is widely known to be pseudoscience. The claims of telepathy do not hold up to scrutiny. Your theories are easily debunked.

      Radin’s ideas and work have been criticized by scientists and philosophers skeptical of paranormal claims. The review of Radin’s first book, The Conscious Universe, that appeared in Nature charged that Radin ignored the known hoaxes in the field, made statistical errors and ignored plausible non-paranormal explanations for parapsychological data.

      You cite a quack who has a Wikipedia article that is 75% explaining how he is not a trustworthy source.

      Lastly, if telepathy were a real actual thing that people can do, do realize how many other aspects of reality must also be of a conspiratorial nature? Its borderline paranoid schizophrenia to think something like telepathy is real and the CIA is covering it up.

      Hopefully you can raise your standard of what constitutes evidence and apply a little more skeptical thinking when you come across wild claims that demand extraordinary evidence.

        They aren’t covering it up but i probably am a paranoid schizophrenic but the the redacted experiments were meant to stay hidden plus some if not most were destroyed and I dont see those theories being debunked at all just violently denied without actually properly testing the theories themselves

        I am skeptical about everything What is perception? Can it be controlled? the CIA like to think so
