You keep mentioning the CIA and this makes it even more of a joke.
What is so unscientific about these trials? Empirical evidence was posted, you posted only your beliefs. You have no real reason to object to a finding by the CIA, and no plausible objection to the psychic experiments on camera. Read more:

Yes, the CIA have once believed in telekinesis,
You think they no longer believe in it? Then why the report confirming it?Sources:

It comes down to something very simple. If someone claims to have a cure for cancer, you would be seeing everyone getting cured of cancer. If people could fly you would see people flying all the time. If people could actually move objects with their minds, you would be seeing people doing it all the time in real life yet you don't. There are only stupid youtube videos and that's about it, just like there are videos about ghosts and other stupid shit.
Not necessarily true. The world is quite large. Even with today's communications abilities, there might be loads of people who never find out about it and become cured.
There are others who would not believe the cure, and still others who are simply stubborn. I mean, I show you the cure for death through faith in Jesus salvation, but you don't believe it, and you are stubborn. Why not other people with the cure for cancer?
If anyone is looking for one of the many cures for cancer, simply listen to Rick Simpson Youtube videos.
How can you test the idea of Jesus Salvation? If this is "salvation through faith", then we are talking about receiving a benefit from merely believing that someone has made atonement on your behalf, that kind of belief is an example of "magical thinking", and according to the latest research, this was not even a teaching that was endorsed by Jesus:
