A legal question

[petros]

If I were you, I'd telepathically consult a lawyer. You'll save money as well as get an answer to your question!

I know a lawyer that can get you down to a summary conviction of 6 months suspended sentence on a 7 year indictable broken mirror and you can still go to Florida to DisneyWorld.

If it has no basis in reality, why did both the east and the west spend decades trying to develop it as a weapon against each other?

I'd have thought that was perfectly obvious. Just because competing military bureaucracies investigate something doesn't mean it has any basis in reality, they're just afraid the other side might get a leg up on them. And what did they come up with? A big fat zero.

 

[Retired_Can_Soldier]

My point is that you do the same thing. It just needed to be pointed out....well actually it didn't but I enjoy pointing out hypocrisy when I see it.

You mean you like trolling. Until the sights get put on you. Then you go to the bar.

I am about to publish a book.
My objective with the work is teaching the method of understanding telepathy and dream interpretation. Most of the time telepathy happens on the subconscious level and although we usually respond, that too is on the subconscious level, we think of it as impulsiveness.
In my work I quote these telepathic communications as I perceived them, the caller is not aware I "heard him", like the burglar telepathically telegraphing his intentions as he makes his plans to raid my home. I "heard" and was able to prevent it.
Or, another scenario: a man with amorous intentions telepathically telegraphs his desires. When he tries to telephone for a date I don’t return his call, but quote his telepathic call in my article. Am I breaching his privacy right?
My question is regarding legality: are there any laws regulating telepathy? Can I quote the burglar's telepathic communication in my publication without his permission?
I have information that the police is already using telepathy as an investigating tool. I think the public should know. Do you?

I can't help you with your question but I'm very interested in the subject, many times in my life just as I was about to make the comment a person I would with would say it verbatim. Of course there are people who when they don't understand something denigrate it. :smile:

No, the law doesn't recognize that telepathy exists, because it doesn't,

How do you know? What experiments did you perform?

Miss "Bondar" has posted her BS on this site on more than one occasion.

I am pretty sure she's spammed a few writing sites I visit. That's why I took a look.

But it is OK for you to promote your book on here and probably elsewhere? I'm not saying it isn't but let's be fair.

 

[JLM]

Thanks for the "heads up". :smile:

I don't care if she promotes her book here or anywhere else. More power to her.

I am just telling JLM that this exact Op is posted elsewhere therefore he might be trying to engage a ghost.

Did I mention I am writing a book about a ghost?

 

[Bar Sinister]

For the same reason that millions were spent trying to invent death rays and the like. There were far more failures in Cold War espionage than successes and the exploration of psychic phenomena was an examples one one such failure.

Why Bar Sinister? Is there something significant to that nick. Just curious.

My next one is about shytehouse rats or Memoirs of a Bush Hippy. Still a work in progress.

As Dexter said, as long as you aren't attributing quoted thoughts to identified people. Pretty difficult to back up proof of what someone thought.

As for the police, I'm sure that if they have a program the whole program wasn't developed and administered solely by telepathy. Program documentation would be somewhere. To make it a credible claim you would need to show real proof, such as documents, not just psychic evidence.

 

[Cannuck]

Haha nope.

Haha yes (obviously).

When I was a kid, if someone said the same thing you said simultaneously, you'd say "jinx, you owe me a coke." And the more coke I did, the more my psychic powers improved. Go figure.

There was nothing really significant as no evidence of psychic phenomena was ever discovered in spite of wasting millions of dollars on it. There was some logic to the project in that if something like telepathy or distance viewing actually existed then it would have made it impossible for the USSR to hide any secrets from the US. As is turned out the Russians were into the same research for the same reasons. Ironically, the fact that both nations were involved in paranormal research was seen as evidence by each side that there might actually be something to psychic phenomena. Sadly, or perhaps fortunately, in spite of years of expensive and exhaustive research nothing was found by either side.

Here is a link to the most recent project. Stargate Project - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

And an article critiquing paranormal experiments. The Straight Dope: Did the U.S. government fund psychic research?

More recently a film was made mocking the whole idea - I expect you have heard of it. The Men Who Stare at Goats. Hombres de Mentes (2009) - IMDb

You will also find numerous articles on the internet supporting this research. However, "the proof," as the saying goes, "is in the pudding." If such phenomena actually worked why is it that both the Soviet and US intelligence systems were caught with their pants down so many times? You would think that at least once or twice they would have managed to pull off some coup with the help of their psychic agents. I mean if you can't even prevent disasters like 911 or colossal blunders like Iraq's missing WMDs then there is little evidence that such phenomena actually works.
