Look, folks, I've heard Uri Geller give a talk in Barnes & Noble.
Among his claims:
1). He made 200 parachute jumps when he was in the Israeli paratroopers. (Even the commander of the paratroopers probably doesn't have 50 jumps to his credit. Corporals, like Geller, are lucky to get one or two jumps above the required five during their service.)
2). He was recruited to the Mossad (Israeli secret service) -- but it's a SECRET, you see, so we shouldn't tell anybody. (An actual Mossad agent, needless to say, will not brag about it deliberately to a roomfull of strangers).
3). His recruiter was his airborne infantry battalion commander, who had a part-time job as a Mossad agent. (Oh sure, Uri. Both being a secret service agent and commanding a combat battalion are, as we know, part time jobs. The commute must be hell, though.)
4). He stopped WWIII using his psychic powers to aim peaceful thoughts at Gurbachev during the falls of the USSR. Proof: WWIII hasn't happened yet. (And I have a magic stone that keeps lions away. Proof: there are no lions in my house.)
5). He will bring peace to the middle east (the less said about that, the better.)
6). He caused a soccer player from the opposing team to the one he was "helping" to miss an easy shot. PROOF: the guy missed an easy shot. (See (4) above.)
7). Despite being a Mossad agent, and not actually being an American citizen, the CIA had no problem recruiting him, as well. (Of course, Uri. We believe you...) That, too, incidentally, is a secret I wasn't supposed to tell (see (2) above).
8). His CIA job: to sit next to Russian spies flying back to the USSR and erase the "Computer disks with top-secret material" they were carrying with them using his psychic powers. (Why not just arrest the guy and confiscate the disks? Somehow, I can't imagine a CIA operator saying: "It's OK, Boss. Boris, that mole, flew home with all the missile launch codes, but I've sent Uri Geller next to him on the plane, so don't worry about it.")
...and so on and so forth. You simply cannot believe a single word the man says about ANYTHING, not only about his "psychic" powers, which are rather obviously nothing but well-worn magic tricks. He's just pathological liar, and a bad one, at that.
Does ANYBODY except for a dwindling minority of the terminally deluded takes this clown seriously any more?
