An extrovert spy?

The Secret Life of Uri Geller – Psychic Spy?

BBC Documentary (2013)

Director: Vikram Jayanti

The flamboyant Mossad and CIA secret agent always liked the attention but led a mysterious life. He wants to keep his admirers guessing of his ability as he finds joy in doing his stuff under the radar, under the cloak of secrecy and the excuse of national security.

Growing up in the 60s in Nicosia, he partook in the Six-Day War in 1967. After the war, he was a celebrity in the Tel Aviv entertainment circle as a performer performing spoon-bending mind tricks. He is said to possess psychokinetic powers, ability to do remote viewing and had psychic powers. His penchant for sticking around the wealthy and famous landed him in Mexico, doing a gig with a local TV and slowly building a strong bond with the first family. There, he is said to have done CIA's dirty work of erasing Russian floppy disks with remote viewing ability and psychokinetic skills. He then made his way to New York. Geller is said to be involved in CIA's secret, sometimes labelled fictitious, programme named Stargate Project. This project is supposed to develop ways to secretly 'view' enemies' documents from a distance.

In 1976, he is said to have used his gift to help the Israeli fighter planes to escape radar detection by the Egyptian Army as they flew past their airspace to get to Entebbe airway to rescue the 100 over hostages held in an Air France plane by Palestinian hijackers.

His activities are all hush-hush. His services were in great demand at the heights of the Cold War. Even though the Stargate Project was officially terminated in 1995, his services were apparently reactivated after 9/11. In the documentary, Uri Geller finds intense pleasure in keeping his viewers in suspense. He does not admit or deny any of his clandestine activities.
