The U.S. government has a pretty straight-laced reputation, but did you know that in the 60’s and 70’s, the CIA and Army Intelligence funded research into psychic phenomena? They sure did, and it was approved because the belief was that the Soviets were also doing it. Then the Soviets started doing it because they heard we were doing it. It gets VERY circular, but the fact remains: The U.S. government had several psychic spies in their employ, and not only were they tasked with several missions, they gathered a ton of actionable intelligence. President Jimmy Carter even credited them with finding and recovering a downed plane in the African jungle. One of the men at the center of that research was Russell Targ. We discuss his time researching psychic phenomena, as well as how he used it to make money in the stock market.
