# Duke's Rhine Research Center criticized. (U-WIRE) DURHAM, N.C. Many can
think of times we followed our intuition or experienced something oddly
coincidental. Most wouldn't necessarily label these as psychic experiences
or think twice about why they happened. But what if we could tap into that
ability to get ahead on Wall Street or to find a missing kid? Researchers
at the Rhine Research Center believe these experiences are more than coin-
cidental and hope that some day, their research can be applied to help
businesspeople and police officers. They also believe monkeys can fly out
your ass: http://news.excite.com/news/uw/000223/university-education-213
: Have you experimentally verified the actual existence of paranormal powers
lately? Can these powers be commercially/militarily/politically/artistically
exploited? Are rich, powerful, greedy institutions funding your work so they
can skim off the cream of your results? Why not - don't they believe in you?

==========
CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list. Proselytizing propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soap-boxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory'—with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds—is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
