Newsweek: The CIA and ESP

20151120cover1800-x-2400Newsweek for November 20, 2015, has a cover story on the CIA and its research into paranormal activity. The essay, “Paranormal Activity: CIA Dimension,” looks at the work of Edwin May, and his work in studying remote viewing for various U.S. government agencies for use in intelligence gathering. An excerpt:

“Twenty years ago this month, the CIA released a report with the unassuming title, ‘An Evaluation of Remote Viewing: Research and Applications.’ The 183-page white paper was more like a white flag – it was the CIA’s public admission, after years of speculation, that the US. government agencies had been using a type of of ESP called ‘remote viewing’ for more than two decades to help collect military and intelligence secrets. At a cost of more than $20 million, the program had employed psychics to visualize hidden extremist training sites in Libya, describe new Soviet submarine designs and pinpoint the locations of U.S. hostages held by foreign kidnappers.”
