And not long befor that, anyone foolish enough to demonstrate such
capabilities were burned at the stake. The US is heavily influenced by
the church, and even some jesuits I have known (one spends much time
in the Vatican), dont deny, but actually refer to such behaviour as
being in league with the devil.
I remember a couple of decades ago , talking to a friend about the
exciting discoveries I had made looking up Pythagorean mysticism. He
was also interested, until we met once again, when he informed me he
was warned off by the priest for similar reasons.
Sinister and evil would be reminiscent of such descriptions.
Nat Goe channel shows a number of such programmes and as I said, there
are quite a few police who acknowledge such help, and are happy to
identify themselves. Based on your view, they should be fired.

It is very obvious why, which makes it all the more interesting that
some do openly.
Bit of self validation there, claiming pseudo documentaries. How very
un objective.
