The Ministry of Defence has released a previously classified Report which shows that it financed ESP experiments in 2002. The heavily censored Remote Viewing Report, made available in response to an application under the Freedom of Information Act, has excited a lot of media coverage and comment
the first phase of the project was meant to be limited to assessing gifted individuals’ abilities on tasks that were not “subject sensitive”. “The second phase,” says the Report’s introduction, “could involve the selection of one or more individuals who it is felt can be ‘trusted’ to be used for the sensitive targets

The partial success rate (six out of 18 sessions) is 33 per cent.

Remote viewing has apparently been used in the search for weapons of mass destruction. According to an Associated Press report, published in The Washington Times (19 November 1991), the United Nations had turned to extrasensory powers in the search for Saddam Hussein’s hidden weapons sites.

I wouldn't be surprised if Remote Viewing was being used to be honest.

The same goes for things like Astrology - which apparently both Hitler and Churchill used during WWII. A few World Leaders have apparently used mediums etc to try and glean info as well.

I think if we knew half of what was going on it would probably boggle our minds lol.
