I'm not paranoid: Psychic soldiers are for real

The X-Phile in me has always believed that things like CIA training programs for developing psychic weapons existed... But just because you believe (or want to believe) doesn't make it real.

UntiI saw this trailer, which is based on a journalist's account that it really did exist. (Read a review of the book it was based on here.)

The movie "The Men who Stare at Goats" -- again, which is based on TRUE events -- seems funny. But the political, military and even corporate implications are a bit scary. Think about it: mind control by a foreign country over your nation's leadership, mind control in the battlefield, mind control in the boardroom.... who wouldn't want that on their side? And I bet it's a heck of a lot cheaper than creating a nuclear program, building a first-world army -- and easier to hide from an unsuspecting public.
