"Remote viewers" make up information and send it to the folks looking for missing adventurer Steve Fossett.
Get this, from the accompanying statement:
"We'll provide them with a more precise area, if they request/require it."
Well, that's big of you. "We could have sent you his exact location, but we'll wait 'til you beg us for it."
Uri Geller claims remote viewer led U.S. forces to Saddam Hussein:
"'You remember when they found Saddam Hussein in Iraq? A soldier walked over to a rug, lifted it and then found a trap-door and found him in there,' Geller told Reuters.
'Well, I know that that soldier walked over to that rug because he got information from a 'remote viewer' from the United States.'"
The Spoof has its own take on the situation. There, the article is clearly marked as being "a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious," which I'm sure nobody doubted for a second.
"Remote viewing paths could lead to breakthrough event"
"The physics of remote viewing allows people to reach greater awareness about many things, perhaps including other dimensions of our natural world that we normally don't pay full attention to."
The "physics" of "remote viewing" -- there's your contradiction in terms.
"When the technique called remote viewing was developed in the 1980s by U.S. Army intelligence, the CIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) and private sector researchers, a major goal was to use the method to gather intelligence on foreign powers."
And because our government wasted our tax money funding research into "clairvoyance" (which is what remote viewing is, just now under a name that sounds a tad more sciencey), "remote viewers" like to throw that fact around as some kind of justification and/or support for their alleged magical abilities.
"Eventually, psychological and scientific theories provided reasonable explanations about how and why remote viewing works."
I'd like to see those theories...from, you know, real, accredited scientists who actually work in the applicable fields, and not, say, a geologist, or someone with a doctorate in literature who happens to believe in this stuff.
Yeah, I know, fat chance.
Actually, I have a theory...it's "people making crap up, and other gullible people falling for it, hook, line, and sinker," but I suppose that wouldn't go over very well.
