I was about to say that site was a hoax. Then I did a few google searches. Poindexter has been around.

Yeah, that's spot on. I can already imagine the Ministry of Peace being rolled out.

As Sheridan would say:

"Meet me in my quarters. You're gonna LOVE this...."

Heh!

I almost thought the original article was just some alarmist talk, but I found direct linkage to the Citizen Corps from the whitehouse.gov site. And here I thought FEMA was losing all that power.

And in further Psi Corps developments...

or here, if you can't see that:

Damn, that's evil....

The second I see a present-day equivalent of a beat-up Narn battlecruiser come screaming through a jumpgate, I'll be headed for the nearest bomb shelter. Talk about troubled times

The Discovery Channel (or TLC or one of those channels) did an hour-long segment on the CIA's involvement in remote viewing (and other ESP-type stuff) 5 or 6 years ago; it was... interesting... to say the least. I'd like to believe that ESP worked, but I have to agree somewhat with the skeptics.

Then again, there's a rumour that Miss Cleo is now working for the FBI... (for our foreign readers, Miss Cleo runs a "Psychic Hotline", speaks with a badly faked Jamaican accent, and runs nearly continuous ads on late-night TV).
