How many RPG settings have there are/were published that is all about Psionics and Secret Cults, Organizations and Government Agencies that want to either hunt them down to extinction or exploit them? The only ones I can think of that is close or just Psionic settings in general are Trinity, Psi World and Agents of Psi. Are there any other published settings this this? I have an idea for a setting about a modern-day or near future psionics setting and I am looking for references of other RPGs that is similar.

Closest I can think of is Psionics Unleashed by Dreamscarred Press. While it is Pathfinder Compatable and relies on the core system, it reads like it works best as a stand-alone instead of along side it. Or there's d20 Darkmatter, for something more modern. It's all about psionics, aliens, and secret agencies (government or otherwise); very X-Files. D20 modern psionics vs Psionics Unleashed is kinda like Bard vs Sorcerer in power level, if I remember right.
 

There is a d20 fantasy psionics only one from Dreamscarred Press called Third Dawn which is also available as a True20 version.

For Modern there is the pretty fantastic Conspiracy X from Eden Studios. They have both a GURPS conversion and well supported in supplements for their house Unisystem system. In that there are supernatural things, but they are all caused by psionics.
 

For modern there is Spycraft Shadowforce Archer but it has both secret mysticism and psionics.

Beyond the Supernatural from Palldium Books gives another modern world with both psis and cultists and supernatural beasties.

There is also Zeeks which adds psionics to the Savage Worlds cyberpunk Interface Zero setting.

For far future there is Dark Heresy and the other 40K games from Fantasy Flight Games where psionics are the basis of magic which comes from the warp and is created by sentient unconsciousnesses across the universe.Dark Heresy in particular you can play a government inquisitor agent tasked with hunting down unauthorized psis, heretics, and psi warp powered abominations.

Fantasy Games Unlimited had Psi World where psis start to manifest in a portion of the population which segregates them and has open psi police to keep them in line.

Traveller has their not hidden sci-fi psions as well, similar to how Star Trek does.

Starblazers has Mindjammer introducing technopsionics for sci-fi gaming in Fate.
