Is remote viewing a reality?

I have heard that people can view many things at a far away distance without being there. Is it true? I am interested in remote veiwing. I want to learn this art, but of course it is only possible if it exists.
This is absolutely not true. Some comments:
1. If this has been the subject of some multibillion-dollar investment by the government, why have we not heard something about it?
It is very hard to keep very large things a secret. They could not keep the atomic bomb a secret. What makes you think that they could keep this a secret?
2. If this works, why don't Wall Street firms, with their phenomenal resources, use it?
3. Under what principles would it work? There is no known physical laws that would allow this to be true.
4. If this is true, why is this not the subject of intense interest and scrutiny in academia, in the US and other places?
5. If this is true, why have we not caught Bin Laden? Why did we not know about the WMD program in Iraq?
6. Looking at the summaries and reviews of Joseph McMoneagle's book on remote viewing on amazon.com mentioned above is instructive. At least half of the reviewers were disappointed (even those who believe in remote viewing) because there was no step by step set of instructions describing how to do remote viewing in this book. This is in spite of the fact that this is what this book claims to do!
In addition, McMoneagle claims that the Stargate project for remote viewing is some sort of ultra-classified government program for spying. If this is true, McMoneagle would never be allowed to publish this book, and would be in prison right now for writing it. Instead, I am sure that any members of the US intelligence community, if they are even aware of this book, probably can hardly contain their laughter. I find it hard to believe that this program was ever a serious program or yielded any benefits, if it even existed.
7. Isaac Asimov did some testing of remote viewing, and found that 46% of the predictions produced by those using remote viewing were incorrect (see reference).
8. James Randi looked into 65 claims by remote viewers, and found that only 1 was not obvious, or available in reference books.
Any way you look at this, remote viewing is too fantastic to be true. No one can tell you how it works. No one can prove to you that it does work. There is no evidence that anyone is using it, only unsubstantiated rumors.
It just sounds romantic, so a lot of people want to believe it. The more interesting question is, why do people insist on believing such twaddle?
