A few days ago I posted declas­si­fied UK Min­istry of Defense study find­ings on remote view­ing. I’m sure you noticed the many black­outs left on the doc­u­ments prior to declas­si­fi­ca­tion. There were a few spec­u­la­tions made on the pur­pose of all the research and a num­ber of peo­ple seem to agree that it was spurred by the 9/11 tragedy. Here’s some­thing I found by a UK daily on the UK debut of “Fringe”, a US TV Show by JJ Abrams.

SECRET doc­u­ments have revealed the MoD have been study­ing the para­nor­mal and other unex­plained sci­en­tific phe­nom­e­non for use in the war against terror.

The newly released files show that just after 9/11, the Min­istry of Defence con­ducted a research project into psy­chics — with the pos­si­bil­ity they could be used to locate ter­ror­ist cells.

Last night saw the UK debut of the eagerly antic­i­pated US TV show Fringe, which takes its name from fringe sci­ence, an umbrella term for such bizarre notions as ghosts, UFOs, psy­chics and invisibility.

Coin­ci­den­tally, as the show takes off, the truth of just how seri­ously our Gov­ern­ment have taken fringe sci­ence is slowly emerging.

As Abrams has said: “Though you could say it’s sci­ence fic­tion, the weird thing about Fringe is that a lot of the stuff is at least in the realm of possibility.
