> the CIA report predates the attack, which is especially strange

It's only strange if you believe the CIA released notes from their super-secret psychic program rather than the more plausible explanation that this is disinformation that was backdated for a boost of prestige.

Can you give me some evidence that this document was backdated? I'm not saying the government isn't shady AF, but I just wonder what's behind the immediate jump to "this has to be BS" rather than keeping an open mind.

Extraordinary claims (that RV is a real phenomenon) require extraordinary evidence. The null hypothesis is the default position, it requires no extraordinary evidence; the opposite does.

This is scientific method 101. Let's not pretend we're not familiar with it just because some dodgy CIA document surfaced.

Ah, since the claim contradicts materialism, you get to make up a scenario, present no evidence, then put the burden on the other side. Got it.

There's literally extraordinary evidence in the PDF, you just don't like it.

I didn't make up any scenario. RV is the made up scenario.

If you want to reject the scientific method go ahead, but you won't find much sympathy here.

You call that extraordinary evidence? Looks pretty vague to me.

"Ship. Round thing. Structure. Water. Propeller."

Give me a break. Reads like the typical psychic scammers.

A spicily prepared `false flag' operation dead drop will do the time travel trick especially given the CIA is being outgamed on all the dimensions.

Always nice to stumble across your posts. Any progress on the jailbreak?
